Noninfectious hepatitis is mainly due to alcohol, some drugs and chemicals, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases and obesity.

It can present in acute (less than 6 months) and chronic states (more than 6 months)

Commonly three types of hepatitis viruses are seen which are Hep A virus, Hep B virus and Hep c virus.

Hepatitis A

It is one of the most common viral hepatitis. It is caused by hepatitis A virus, a picorna virus.

It is transmitted through fecal-oral route. It can be seen only in acute stage and gives lifelong immunity. Hepatitis A is widespread in parts of the world that are poor, over-crowded and have limited access to sanitation and clean water, such as Africa, India, Pakistan & some parts of the Middle East and South America

Complications tend to only occur in people with pre-existing liver disease and /or elderly people, with the most serious being liver failure (where the liver loses most or all of its functions).

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is caused by hepatitis B virus, a hepadnavirus . 15% adults who are infected with hepatitis B virus are unable to eliminate the virus after initial infection which leads to a chronic hepatitis B, possibly resulting in serious liver damage. Hepatitis B is one of the most common cause for the liver cancer.

Transmission

It is a sexually transmitting disease. It can be spread through blood and body fluids like semen and breast milk.

It can be spread through sharing needles and cotton from a HBV infected person.

A new born baby can get infected during delivery if mother is infected with HBV. It can be spread through breast feeding also.

HCV can be transmitted through contact with blood (including through sexual contact if the two parties' blood is mixed) and can also cross the placenta.

Homeopathy for Viral hepatitis

Homeopathy is safe and effective in all type of viral hepatitis. Homeopathic medicines can be used as preventive as well as curative for viral hepatitis.

KIDNEY STONE (RENAL CALCULUS) | CAUSE, SYMPTOMS & HOMEOPATHY

2013-11-20T02:26:00.000-08:00

What are kidney stones?

Kidney stones (also known as Nephrolithiasis or Renal calculus) are small hard masses made up of crystals which are seen in urinary tract (Kidney, urethra and ureter). These crystals are formed by minerals and acid salts. Usually stones forms when the urine becomes concentrated as minerals get crystallized and stick together.

Kidney stone is one of the most painful condition. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size (usually at least 3 millimeters (0.12 in)) they can cause obstruction of the ureter.

National Institute of Diabetes and Kidney Disease reports that about 1 million people in the United States are treated for kidney stones each year.

Types of kidney stones

Calcium

Calcium stones are the most common. They can be made of calcium oxalate (most common), phosphate, or maleate. Oxalate is a naturally occurring substance found in food. Some fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts and chocolate, have high oxalate levels. Your liver also produces oxalate.Vitamin C and spinach contain oxalate. Calcium-based kidney stones are most commonly seen in young men between the ages of 20 and 30.

Cystine

Cystine stones are rare. They occur in both men and women who have the genetic disorder cystinuria.

Struvite

This type of stone is found mostly in women with urinary tract infection. These stones can be quite large and cause urinary obstruction.

Uric Acid

This type of kidney stone is more common in men than in women. They can occur in people with gout or those going through chemotherapy.

Other

Medications like triamterene and acyclovir also can cause stones.

What are the causes for kidney stones?

There are many factors which can lead to form stones in your kidneys. Certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible.

People who do not drink enough fluids may also be at higher risk, as their urine is more concentrated.

Risk factors

· Family history: If someone in your family has kidney stones, you're more likely to develop stones, too.

· Dehydration: Not drinking enough water each day can increase your risk of kidney stones. People who live in warm climates and those who sweat a lot may be at higher risk than others..

· High-protein, salt, or glucose diet: A high-salt diet is another risk factor, as an increased amount of sodium passing into the urine can also pull calcium along with it. The net result is an increased calcium level in the urine, which increases the probability for stones. Intake of oxalate-rich foods such as leafy green vegetables, nuts, tea or chocolate may also worsen the situation.

· Obesity

· Inflammatory bowel diseases (which can cause increase calcium absorption)

· Other medical conditions. Diseases and conditions that may increase your risk of kidney stones include renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria, hyperparathyroidism, certain medications and some urinary tract infections.

Read this also: GOUT | CAUSE, SYMPTOMS, TREATMENT & HOMEOPATHY

What are the symptoms?

Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms.

Some stones may be washed out of the kidney by urine flow and end up trapped within the ureter or pass completely out of the urinary tract. Stones usually begin causing symptoms when they block the outflow of the urine from the kidney leading to the bladder. At this point these signs and symptoms may be seen,

· Severe pain in the side and back, below the ribs

· Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity

· Pain on urination

· Pain that spreads to the lower abdomen and groin

· Pink, red or brown urine

· Nausea and vomiting

· Persistent urge to urinate

· Fever and chills if an infection is present

· Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

· Urinating more often than usual

Investigations

If your doctor suspects kidney stones in you he may ask you to perform,

· Blood test: for calcium, phosphorus, uric acid and electrolytes

· Urine analysis: to check for crystals, bacteria, blood, and white cells.

· Analysis of passed stones: to determine type

· Abdominal X-rays

· Intravenous pyelogram (IVP)

· Retrograde pyelogram

· Ultrasound of the kidney

· MRI of the abdomen and kidneys

· Abdominal CT scan

Treatment for kidney stone

Treatment of kidney stones varies according to size, number and locations. Small kidney stones (less than 5 mm (0.20 in) in diameter) may pass through urine without any pain or other symptoms. Homeopathy has got wonderful results in treating kidney stones which will be explained in detail later.

Initially NSAIDs are given to reduce the pain and wait for spontaneous expulsion.

During this time the patient is advised to drink plenty of water and liquids. A glass of orange juice in a day can help to prevent kidney stone in susceptible subjects.

Surgical procedures:

Lithotripsy: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy uses sound waves to break up large stones so they can more easily pass down the ureters into your bladder. This procedure can be uncomfortable and may require light anesthesia

Tunnel Surgery (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) :Stones are removed through a small incision in your back

Ureteroscopy: When a stone is stuck in the ureter or bladder, your doctor may use an instrument called a ureteroscope to remove it

HOMEOPATHY FOR KIDNEY STONES

Homeopathy treatment is one of the best choices of treatment in kidney stones. Homeopathic medicines can help you to expel your kidney stones naturally.

If you are diagnosed with stones in your kidneys, consult a qualified homeopath near you. You may need to explain all the symptoms and history in detail to your homeopath.

These are some important homeopathic medicines which should not be taken without a homeopath’s advice.

Gout | cause, signs & symptoms treatment & Homeopathy

2013-10-08T04:31:00.000-07:00

Gout is a disorder of purine metabolism, occurring especially in men, characterized by a raised but variable blood uric acid level and severe recurrent acute arthritis of sudden onset resulting from deposition of crystals of sodium urate in connective tissues and articular cartilage.

It is a painful condition of small joints as uric acid crystals get deposited like a needle in the joints.

Uric acid is usually harmless, and is made in the body. Most is passed out with the urine, and some from the gut with the faeces (stools). In people with gout the amount of uric acid in the blood builds up. From time to time the level may become too high and tiny grit-like crystals of uric acid may form.

Deposited uric acid crystals may form a lump in the joints which is called as tophi.

Some people have a high level of uric acid but do not form crystals or have gout. Also, rarely, some people with a normal level of uric acid have gout attacks. However, as a rule, the higher the level of uric acid, the greater the chance of developing gout.

Scientists estimate that 6 million adults age 20 and older report having had gout at some time in their lives

Read : KIDNEY STONE | CAUSE, SYMPTOMS & HOMEOPATHY

What cause Gout?

A number of risk actors are associated with high uric acid level and gout attack.

· Obesity: - High uric acid level I seen in overweight subjects.

· Alcohol conception: - Too much alcoholic drinks especially beer can cause hyperuricemia(High uric acid level in blood)

· Diet: - Foods which are high in purines can cause or aggravates gout. Those who suffer from gout should limit the foods which are high in purines like meet, Beer, anchovy, spinach Etc

· Some health conditions: - Renal insufficiency is one of the most common cause of gout where kidney fails to eliminate uricacid from the body.

Some conditions like Hypertension, hyperthyroidism, Psoriasis, Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, Hemolytic anemia, Lead poisoning Etc

· Some medication can cause gout: - Diuretics, which are taken to eliminate excess fluid from the body in conditions like hypertension, edema, and heart disease, and which decrease the amount of uric acid passed in the urine

§ Salicylate-containing drugs, such as aspirin

§ Niacin, a vitamin also known as nicotinic acid

§ Cyclosporine, a medication that suppresses the body’s immune system (the system that protects the body from infection and disease). This medication is used in the treatment of some autoimmune diseases, and to prevent the body’s rejection of transplanted organs.

§ Levodopa, a medicine used to support communication along nerve pathways in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

Sign and symptoms

How is gout diagnosed?

It is not so easy to diagnose gout as it mimics many other joint diseases.

High uric acid level is seen in most of the patient with gout but normal uric acid level does not rule out this condition.

X ray of effected join can help to diagnose it

Synovial fluid aspiration to detect the uric acid crystals in it

How is gout treated?

A short course of anti-inflammatory pain killers (NSAIDs) are used to stop the pain and inflammation.

Dengue fever | Cause, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prevention& Homeopathy

2013-07-17T03:58:00.000-07:00

Dengue fever or breakbone fever is an infectious mosquito-borne disease caused by dengue virus characterized by body pain, retroorbital pain and high fever.

Globally, 2.5-3 billion individuals live in approximately 112 countries that experience dengue transmission. Annually, approximately 50-100 million individuals are infected.

What cause dengue?

Dengue is spread by a type of infected mosquito called the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The mosquito bites throughout the day and night.

Transmission of the dengue virus happens in a cycle. An infected human is bitten by a mosquito, the infected mosquito then bites another human, and the cycle continues

There are four different strains of the dengue virus: DEN 1, DEN 2, DEN 3 and DEN 4

If you are infected by a strain of dengue virus, you will get a lifelong immunity for that particular strain of DEN virus.

If you are re-infected with another strain of DEN virus, you may have chances of more serious illness.

Dengue cannot spread one person to another.

Factors believed to be responsible for the spread of dengue include the following:

Explosive population growth
Unplanned urban overpopulation with inadequate public health systems
Poor control of standing water and vectors
Viral evolution
Increased international recreational, business, and military travel to endemic areas

Signs and symptoms of Dengue

Initial Dengue infection may be asymptomatic.

Classic Dengue is identified by

· A high body temperature

· Retro orbital pain (Pain in the back of eyes)

· Head ache

· Diffuse muscle pain

· Diffuse bone pain

· Weakness

· Sore throat

· Centrifugal maculopapular rash

· Vomiting

A small percentage of people who have been infected before may develop hemorrhage.

· Bleeding from gums

· Blood in stool ( Black coloured stool)

· Red spots on skin

And this is called as Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Rarely it get complicated and leads to thrombocytopenia (reduction in the platelet count in blood) which can cause severe bleeding and finally end up in dengue shock syndrome

How dengue is diagnosed?

Your doctor can diagnose dengue by virus or blood tests

Laboratory criteria for diagnosis include one or more of the following:

Isolation of the dengue virus from serum, plasma, leukocytes, or autopsy samples
Demonstration of a fourfold or greater change in reciprocal immunoglobulin G (IgG) or immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody titers to one or more dengue virus antigens in paired serum samples
Demonstration of dengue virus antigen in autopsy tissue via immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence or in serum samples via enzyme immunoassay (EIA)
Detection of viral genomic sequences in autopsy tissue, serum, or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) samples via polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

How can we prevent Dengue fever?

Get away from mosquitoes is the first thing to prevent Dengue.

To reduce the mosquitoes, eliminate the places where they lay their eggs.

Clean water containers

Dry the artificial containers which hold the water in and around home.

When possible, wear long sleeves and pants for additional protection. Also, make sure window and door screens are secure and without holes. If available, use air-conditioning.

Maintain personal hygiene.

Homeopathic preventive medicines are available to prevent dengue.

FIBROMYALGIA | Cause, symptoms, Diagnosis & treatment

2013-04-07T09:30:00.001-07:00

Fibromyalgia or Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a common and chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain, diffuse tenderness, and a number of other symptoms. The word “fibromyalgia” comes from the Latin term for fibrous tissue (fibro) and the Greek ones for muscle (myo) and pain (algia) which means a connective tissue pain. It affects the muscles, ligaments, other connective tissues, tendons and gastro intestinal tract.

A Gastro-enterologist may diagnose Fibromyalgia as Irritable bowel syndrome and rheumatologist as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.

Patient presents FM as persistent widespread pain, stiffness , disrupted and unrefreshing sleep, fatigue, anxiety and/or depression, and functional impairment of activities of daily living, cognitive difficulties, often accompanied by multiple other unexplained symptoms.

-->

Fibromyalgia can be considered as a neurosensory characterized by abnormality in pain processing in Central nervous system (CNS).

Scientists estimate that fibromyalgia affects 5 million Americans age 18 or older. For unknown reasons, between 80 and 90 percent of those diagnosed with fibromyalgia are women; however, men and children also can be affected. Most people are diagnosed during middle age, although the symptoms often become present earlier in life.

The NIH (National Institutes of Health, USA) says 90% of fibromyalgia patients are women. Men and children may also be affected.

Although symptoms may become present at any time during a person's life, they are most commonly reported when the patient is middle-aged.

What cause Fibromyalgia?

Scientists are not sure about the cause of FM. But there are some theories and multiple factors which can lead to FM.

1) Low levels of serotonin: Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which affects mood, promotes sleep, and helps reduce the perception of pain.

2) High levels of substance P: Elevated levels of substance P increase the sensitivity of nerves to pain or heighten awareness of pain.

3) Dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis: Dysfunction of the HPA axis may exaggerate the effects of abnormal serotonin metabolism. Hypoactivity of the HPA axis may cause low central serotonin levels.

4) Sleep problems: Disturbed sleep can cause Fibromyalgia. It is found that stage4 sleep has disturbed in FM patients which may lead to subnormal muscle fiber repairing.

5) Injury and infection: Fibromyalgia can be triggered by an injury, especially to the upper spine or neck, or an infection caused by a virus or bacteria

6) Genetics : fibromyalgia may sometimes be inherited.

7) Depression and anxiety: These psychological factors can lead to FM

· Mood disorders (bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder)

· Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, PTSD, social phobia)

· Eating disorders

· Substance use disorders

8) Having another rheumatic disease or some other autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid arthritis, Systemic lupus erythamatus(SLE)

What are the signs & Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?

v Wide spread pain and tenderness

v Fatigue

v Sleep disturbances or unrefreshing sleep.

v Depression

v Headache

v Disturbed bowel movements

v Skin sensitivity

v Anxiety

v Dizziness

v Restless leg syndrome

v High sensitiveness to noise, smell and light

v Painful menstruation

v Morning stiffness

v Tingling and numbness in lower extremities

Fibromyalgia Quick Facts

Affects 3 to 5 percent of the general population
Occurs in people of all ages, even children
Men develop fibromyalgia too, although more women are diagnosed with it
Symptoms are chronic but may fluctuate throughout the day
Roughly one-quarter of people with fibromyalgia are work-disabled
FDA approved the first drug for fibromyalgia in 2007 and more treatments are being developed

FIBROMYALGIA | Diagnosis, Home care & Homeopathy medicines

2013-04-07T07:10:00.001-07:00

Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.

We have discussed the cause sign and symptoms of fibromyalgia in this last post.

Now let’s discuss about the diagnosis management and homeopathic medicines

How is Fibromyalgia Diagnosed?

There is no a specific Blood test to diagnose FM. In most of the cases all blood counts will be normal.

Still it is better to do some blood tests to rule out some medical conditions like Rheumatoid arthritis, SLE Etc.

The American College of Rheumatology has established two criteria for diagnosing fibromyalgia:

A history of widespread pain that has lasted over three months. Widespread means the pain affects the four parts (quadrants) of your body - the left, right, top and bottom sides.
The presence of tender points in 18 sites of the body. These sites are located at the back and front of the neck, between the neck and chest, just below the neck on the back, the knees, the inside of the elbows, just above the buttocks (where two dimples are usually located), just below the buttocks at the top of the back thighs at their furthest point from the crotch. At least 11 of these points need to be tender for a fibromyalgia diagnosis to be confirmed. For a point to be tender the patient should feel pain if 4gk of pressure is applied to it. It is possible that a fibromyalgia patient feels pain at other points - however, for a diagnosis to be confirmed tenderness needs to be limited to those 18 points (at least 11 of them).

Managing your fibromyalgia

It is not so easy to diagnose this symptoms complex as Fibromyalgia. It is really hard to cure this disease as the cause stays with your lifestyle-daily activities.

You can manage the symptoms effectively with mild changes in your lifestyle. As I mentioned above there is something wrong with your sleep, food and your behavior. So you should gather information for stress relief and for a healthy diet. Let me explain it in detail.

Reduce Stress

· Avoid situations that cause stress.

· Engage with activities that you love

· Take time to relax. Learn relaxation techniques

· Meditate every day

Sleep well

· Avoid caffeine especially before going to bed

· Go to bed early

· Avoid alcoholics

· Avoid exercising within 3 hours of bedtime

· Avoid daytime naps

· Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.

· Wind down before bed. Avoid working right up to bedtime. Do relaxing activities, such as listening to soft music or taking a warm bath, that get you ready to sleep

Exercise regularly

· Stretch when you wake up

· Low impact aerobic exercises such as walking swimming can be helpful.

· Water aquatic exercises to be helpful

Although you may experience a slight increase in pain and soreness when you start, as you continue you will help lessen muscle tension and stiffness, improve sleep quality, and raise serotonin and endorphin levels, helping to reduce pain.

Eat healthy

· Eat a balanced diet

· Eat citrus fruits like orange

· Avoid coffee

· Quit smocking

· Avoid refined foods, such as white breads, pastas, and sugar.

· Use healthy cooking oils, such as olive oil or vegetable oil.

· Drink 6 - 8 glasses of filtered water daily

Homeopathy for Fibromyalgia

Variousstudies have shown that homeopathy can treat fibromyalgia very effectively.

You cannot take a homeopathic medicine without a homeopath’s advice.

There are 100s of medicines in homeopathy which can be prescribed for Fibromyalgia.

After calculating and summing your symptoms in mental physical and emotional planes a qualified homeopath prescribes the remedy for your Fibromyalgia. Homeopathy does not treat disease in man but man in disease.

One should explain the past history of disease, work atmosphere and daily life activities to the consulting homeopath.

Let me list out some most prescribed homeopathic medicines here.

· Ruta graveolens

· Rhus Tox,

· Bryonia,

· Arnica,

· Causticum,

· Calcaria carb,

· Cuprum Met,

· Mag phos,

· Plumbum Met,

· Calcaria Phos

· Nux vomica

· Bellis pernis
