Swineflu [Dr. V. Krishnamurthy]

Now, coming to the much dreaded swine flu.

(a) those who had died in hospitals with swine flu had lung failure.

(b) swine flu starts with fever, sore throat and body pain.

Step 1: Fever with body pain, sore throat. The rubric that you must take for this in Kent 's Repertory is under GENERALITIES. Inflammation, internal:

Step 2: Disease of lung that speedily kills any patient; the equivalent rubric in Kent 's Repertory is Pneumonia (CHEST: Hepatization of lungs)

The remedies scoring more points (being common to the above two enlisted) are Cactus = 4, Iodum = 5, Kalic-c. = 4, Kali-iod. = 4, Lach. = 5, Lyc. = 4, Merc-sol. = 4, Nux-v. = 5, Phos. = 6, Sulph. = 5, Tereb. = 5

These remedies were studied in Samuel Lilienthal's HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS under the chapter PNEUMONIA; Under Merc. the following words “epidemic broncho-pneumonia”.

On the same page under the remedy Ferr-met. also, we find the words "epidemic pneumonia", but we do not get to this remedy in repertorisation.

Patients who had come to me after being tested positive for swine flu were given the homeopathic medicine Merc. C10.000 (daily one dose for 3 days only) and after a week when they tested, the result was negative.

All their symptoms disappeared. (Rate of success: 97%).

In 40 years of practice, in the treatment of epidemics I have found the effects with 10,000x potency satisfactory. Effects of other potencies are unpredictable.

For prevention, the same remedy Merc. C 10.000 may be given one dose once a month for three months. This prevents swine flu for six months from the date of taking the first dose.

In homoeopath, cure is easier and quicker than prevention.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: In Section 213 of the Org Dr. Hahnemann tells us that without prescribing a remedy on mind symptoms a cure is not possible. Let us now see how the remedy Merc-sol satisfies this requirement.

In big organizations when a person is affected with fever, sore throat and body pain he is advised NOT TO COME TO THE OFFICE. In other words, the awe-stricken non-affected persons run away from the victims as if

they are their enemies, for fear of contracting swine flu.

A lady took her 5-year old son to a doctor. There a patient came to consult the doctor because he was declared positive for swine flu. Immediately on hearing this that lady run away with her son lest he may be infected.

The otherwise healthy person considers the victims of swine flu as his enemy. The victims are asked to keep off till cured.

Under the Chapter “MELANCHOLIA” in the reference book HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal, (page no.700 under the remedy Merc.) we find the following words: …anxious restlessness

as if some evil impended… constant suspicion, considering everybody his enemy.

The following extracts from the WILKINSONS’ MATERIA MEDICA (under the chapter ‘Mind’ in the remedy Merc.) also confirms my selection of this remedy for swine flu.

…Desire to flee, with... anxiety and apprehension.... did not know what to do... Inexpressible pain of soul and body, anxious restlessness, as if some evil impended…

In one of the big multinational companies office at Chennai about 300 persons were working in the first floor. Immediately on hearing that two of their colleagues were tested positive for swine flu, all of them started fleeing.

This attitude is found in almost all persons who are running here and there for preventive for swine flu. Therefore, Merc. is almost a specific both as a preventive and curative.

What is most disappointing is that no one talks about Lilienthal's work HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS, be it in seminar papers, monthly meetings or articles in journals.

Charles Gatchell said in a review of HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS, "… it is an extraordinarily useful book and those who add it to their library will never feel regret…"

In a review, Samuel A. Jones said about Lilienthal's HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS as under: "For the fresh graduate this book will be invaluable… to the older one who says he has no use of this book, we have nothing

to say. He is a good one to avoid when well, and to dread when ill."

For prevention Merc. 200 may be given one dose once a month for three months. This prevents swine flu for six months from the date of taking the first dose.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: In Section 213 of the Organon Dr. Hahnemann tells us that without prescribing a remedy on mind symptoms a cure is not possible. Let us now see how the remedy Merc. satisfies this requirement.

In big organizations when a person is affected with fever, sore throat and body pain he is advised NOT TO COME TO OFFICE. In other words, the awe-stricken non-affected persons run away from the victims as if they

are their enemies, for fear of contracting swine flu.

The otherwise healthy person considers the victim of swine flu as his enemy. The victims are asked to keep off till cured.

In HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal, (page no.700 under the remedy Merc-sol.): in the Chapter "MELANCHOLIA" …anxious restlessness as if some evil impended

… constant suspicion, considering everybody his enemy.

WILKINSONS' MATERIA MEDICA (under 'Mind' in the Merc.) also confirms the selection for swine flu.

... Desire to flee, with... anxiety and apprehension.... did not know what to do

... Inexpressible pain of soul and body, anxious restlessness, as if some evil impended...

As this mind symptom is found in those who had not got the disease, Merc. indicated as a preventive. In one of the big multinational companies office at Chennai, about 300 persons were working on the first floor.

Immediately on hearing that two of their colleagues tested positive for swine flu, all of them started fleeing. This attitude is found in almost all persons who are running here and there for prevention of swine flu.

Merc. is almost a specific both as a preventive and curative.
