The Stone Age...

 
Dear Readers,

       Hahnemann says “ unless the physician imitates my method he can not expect to solve the highest problem of medical science, that of curing those important chronic diseases, which have remained uncured until I discovered their true character and proper treatment.” We all know the joy of seeing sicknesses of definite symptoms yield almost miraculously, to the remedy of like symptoms. Renal calculus is one such condition.

    
      To handle a urinary calculi patient the knowledge of understanding the clinical facts of Calculi condition, type of stone, interpretation of laboratory investigations and knowledge of short as well as long term complications are the essential components. Creating a condition for “safe passage” of calculi is “Childs play” for most of the homoeopaths, but preventing the recurrence is the real art work.

      Homoeopathy has a definite answer in this sphere of sufferings of man. Homoeopathy has given me the hope that these deficits in the medical management of urinary calculi by various systems of medicine can definitely be fulfilled through homoeopathic system of medicine. The vast literary sources of homoeopathy is amazing. It has more than hundred medicines for calculi. Dr.S.P. Koppikar in his book “Clinical experience of 70 years in Homoeopathy” says only Berberis vulgaris and Tabacum were very useful and in acute pain Sarsaparilla. I want you to add Lycopodium and Medorrhinum along with Hydrangea arborescens to your list.
Hope homoeopathy is the only hope in this condition.

with regards

Dr.P.V.Venkatraman.
