GOUT ..HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT

Gout is a complex form of arthritis.. it can affect all ages. Men are more likely to effect by gout, but women also increasingly susceptible to gout after menopause.

The first attack of gout can occur suddenly, often waking up in the middle of the night with the sensation of great burning in big toe. The gout affected joint is hot, swollen and tender, even the weight of the sheet is intolerable.
Gout is a treatable disease, and there are treatments to prevent the recurrence.

The signs and symptoms of gout

Extreme joint pain:

 Gout usually affects the large joint of big toe, but it can occur in  other joints like feet, ankles, knees, hands and wrists. The pain is most severe within the first four to 12 hours.

Persistent discomfort: 

After the first attack pain subsides, some joint discomfort may last for few days. Later attacks more joints.

Inflammation and redness:

The affected joint or joints become red,swollen, tender and warm.

Restricted Joint motion: 

Decreased in joint mobility may occur in gout.

Gout can be diagnosed by signs and symptoms confirmed by increased uric acid levels in blood.

Factors that increase the uric acid level in  body are:

* Diet

 Eating diet high in meat and seafood and beverages sweetened with fruit sugar increases higher levels of uric acid, which is a risk factor for gout. Alcohol consumption, especially of beer increases the risk of gout.

* Obesity: 

favours the production of more uric acid by producing more stress on kidney which is a great risk factor for gout.

*  Medical conditions: 

 high blood pressure and chronic conditions such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart and kidney diseases favour the formation of uric acid.
Some medications:  Like Thiazide diuretics used to treat hypertension  and low-dose aspirin can increase uric acid levels.
* Family history of gout: Can provoke the gout forming tendency.
* Age and sex: Gout occurs more in men than women. But postmenopausal women may affect with gout as like men.
* Recent surgery or trauma.
 Trauma, injuries are precipitating factors for gout.

People with gout can develop more-severe conditions.If left untreated, gout can cause erosion or destruction of a joint.Untreated gout cause deposits of urate crystals to form in nodules under the skin called tophi (TOE-fie). Tophi can develop in fingers, hands, feet, elbows or Achilles tendons on  backs of ankles.

Homeopathy can provide relief during painful attacks of gouty joint pain and inflammation, and also may help to reduce the recurrence of gout disease without side effects.

Homeopathy is a form of medicine  which stimulates the body’s immune system to cure gout disease itself without side effects. It is totally opposite to allopathic chemical supressive treatment for gout disease.

Treatment of gout in Homeopathy involves giving constitutional remedies that are natural remedies for gout. Homeopathy reduce the uric acid levels.
Gout Homeopathic treatment involves selection of Homeopathic remedies according to the constitutional symptoms of the patient, not only based on the gout clinical symptoms, but lifestyle, mental and emotional state associated with gout, stress levels, diet, family history and other general factors in order to prescribe best Homeopathic remedy for gout. Homeopathic treatments are highly individualized. Two people with symptoms of gout arthritis are treated as constitutionally two distinct individuals. Treatment for gout should also include avoiding seasoned and fermented foods like pickles and  cold storage foods, dietary and lifestyle changes are recommended along with vitamin and herbal supplements.

HOMEOPATHY..just good medicines

WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?

Ramai belum mengenali sistem perubatan homeopathy ..disini saya ingin perjelaskan..
nanti satu hari ,insyallah, saya terjemahkan ke bahasa ibunda..
susah skit sebab saya belajar dulu dalam bahasa asing ni..

INTRODUCTION

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses remedies made from plants, animals and mineral substances. 



These remedies are prepared in such a way that they are non-toxic and do not cause harmful side effects. 

ORIGIN

Homeopathy was discovered in the early 1800’s by a German physician (doctor), Samuel Hanemann. Shortly after setting up his clinic, he became disheartened with medicine. The 18^th and 19^th century physicians believe that sickness was caused by fluids that have been expelled from the body. To treat these sicknesses, patients were cauterized, blistered, purged and bled. Hanemann protested against these brutal and senseless methods.

He also opposed the way doctors prescribed medicines..in those days, it was customary to mix a great number of chemical drugs in one prescription.

DISCOVERY

Hanemann gave up the practise of medicine and became a medical-book translator. It was discovered that he was  fluent in the Arabic language and  that he had a copy of the medical book called TIB NUBUWWAH in the Arabic language, written by Muslim Medical Scholar, Ibnul Qayyim al Jauzi. It was his favourite book of reference.

Hanemann persisted in his livelong goal to discover if God had given any LAW whereby the  diseases of mankind could be cured..
ie curing  mankind using the rules of God.

It was mentioned that, while translating the book “Lectures on the Materia Medica” by Willian Cohen, a Scottish professor of medicine, that Hanemann stumbled on the key to curing sick people.

The author claimed that cinchona bark or quinine, cured intermittent fever (malaria), because of its astringent and bitter qualities. This explanation was not satisfactory to Hanemann who knew of other equally bitter substances. So he did a daring thing...he tested the medicine himself.                                                                

“I took by way of experiment, twice a day, 4 drams of good Cinchona...

..My feet, finger ends etc at first became cold

: I grew languid and drowsy

 : then my heart began to palpitate, my pulse grew hard and small

: my limbs began to tremble, prostrate and in intolerable anxiety

: then, pulsation in my head, redness of my cheeks

:  numbness and disagreeable sensation over every bone in the body

The paroxysm lasted 2-3 hours.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was the first ‘proving’ – testing a medicine on a healthy person. 
The symptoms developed corresponded exactly to the symptoms of malaria. 

Thus, he concluded that malaria was cured by cinchona not because of its bitter taste but because cinchona produces the symptoms of malaria in a healthy person.

Hanemann enlisted the help of friends to embark an extensive programme of remedial testing. When he died at the age of 88, he had recorded 99 experimented substances. By the end of the century,more than 600 substances were added.

PRICIPLES OF HOMEOPATHY

 The word Homeopathy comes from the Greek word,

Homoiose meaning similar 
Pathy meaning suffering/sickness.

1. THE LAW OF SIMILARS

Similia Similibus Curentur = like is cured by like

..A remedy can cure a disease if the remedy produces symptoms on a healthy person similar to the disease.

2. THE LAW OF POTENTISATION

Homeopathic medicines are prepared using the method of dilutions and succusions, whereby no molecules of the original substance remain..what remains is the potential energy of the substance.

A potentised remedy does not contain sufficient matter to act directly on human tissues... which means,homeopathic medicines are non-toxic and cannot cause side-effects.

3. THE LAW OF PROVING

All the remedies used were first tested and experimented on humans. Homeopaths do not use animals  as subjects for testing medicines. The provings are then compiled in reference book called the MATERIA  MEDICA.
