Homoeopathic Management of Haemophilia – By Dr. Tapas Kundu

 

 

The conventional treatment for Hemophilia is based on providing the deficient factor in required amount through parental sources. This has its own principle of working in the body with specific period of action. The Homeopathic medicines helps individual by enhancing the body’s ability to response to the injuries in terms of faster wound healing  thereby  reducing the time of bleeding.  With subsequent follow ups Homoeopathic medicines reduce the  frequency of bleeding episodes like Haemarthrosis ( bleeding in joints), bleeding from gums or nose etc. The deficient factor level is difficult to rise to an optimum level but the other mechanisms of the body can be made competent enough to take the place of missing one. The resistance of body increases to nullify the other hazardous effects caused by deficient factor or repeated factor transfusion. Thus it can safely be employed during bleeding and non bleeding phase.

Plant Cells May Help Treat Hemophilia

Treating hemophilia, a rare bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot normally, could be a lot cheaper and much safer as researchers have developed a way to use plant cells to treat it.

"This is a major step forward," said study co-author Roland Herzog, College of Medicine, from the University of Florida in the US.

Patients with hemophilia bleed for a longer time than others after an injury as they lack the necessary proteins, which help in clotting, in their blood to stem the flow from a wound.

People with severe hemophilia typically receive regular injections of these proteins, called clotting factors, as a treatment for the disease.

But up to 30 percent of people afflicted with the most common form, hemophilia A, develop antibodies (inhibitors) that attack these lifesaving proteins, making it difficult to prevent or treat excessive bleeding.

"Our technique, which uses plant-based capsules, has the potential to be a cost-effective and safe alternative," said co-author Henry Daniell from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in the US.

The researchers had developed a platform for delivering drugs and bio-therapeutics using genetically modified plants to express proteins.

Using a combination of factor VIII DNA and another substance that can safely cross the intestinal walls and enter the bloodstream, the researchers fused the genes into tobacco plants.

The team fed the resulting plant solution to mice with hemophilia.

The mice fed the experimental plant material formed fewer inhibitors - on average, seven times fewer.

For human use, the goal would be to use lettuce plants instead of tobacco plants, the researchers said.

The study appeared in the journal Blood.

Home Remedies for Acne

Acne, the irritant that torments your skin and your psyche, is nothing but inflammation of the sebaceous glands that are present in the skin. This is a condition that people develop in their teenage just as they approach puberty. The blisters, boils, or rashes, as the case may be, tend to disappear as people reach their twenties and get past their teenage (the minor rashes may sometimes erupt into boils or blisters). However, as there are rules, so are there exceptions – the exceptional cases feature acnes well into the 30‟s and 40‟s, turning into a significant problem for many. Some of the common forms that acnes assume include pimples and papules, sometimes leaving deep scars in the face around the areas that have high concentration of sebaceous glands. 

Acne Home Remedies

Basil Leaves for Acne

Basil leaves tend to be among the most popular home remedies for acne, and also for a host of other health conditions, given the natural healing powers that the tender leaves and the herb have been bestowed with.

Wait for it to simmer and cool down, soak a clean ball of cotton in the blend and dab it on the affected areas of the skin gently. As the heat provides a soothing experience, the goodness of basil leaves would have gotten to work already, to remove the toxicity, eliminate the bad bacteria and to replenish the skin with all freshness, making for one of the simple home remedies for acne. 

 

Aloe Vera for Acne

How could you talk about skin and not discuss Aloe Vera? The extracts of the magic herb have found good use in a whole range of cosmetic applications, with products ranging from soaps, creams and shampoos boasting of their Aloe Vera content in making them potent and vital. If you have the patience to plant and watch Aloe Vera grow in your backward, you could pluck the leaf, twist it at the middle or bend it over to extract a juice that is rich in nutrients, minerals, vitamins and has the healing touch that would blow you away with the results that you would get. Alternatively, Aloe Vera juice and gel are available aplenty at your neighborhood stores or the herbal dealers, and all it takes is to squeeze a tube that contains Aloe Vera gel and apply the cool gel on to skin as effective home remedies for acne. Aloe Vera has the property of eliminating harmful bacteria, promoting the growth of fresh cells, softening the skin, moisturizing it for smoothness, rejuvenating the tissues and more importantly, doing it all without a hint of scarring. 

Garlic for Acne

If you are looking for a potent home remedy for acne that is effective, efficient and has the “killer punch” in it, you could not possibly overlook the white little bulb, garlic. The fact that you find garlic almost at every grocery store and supermarket might have made you overlook the possibilities associated with garlic as one of the effective home remedies for acne. But then, garlic is known for its anti-bacterial properties, known to be effective as an anti-fungal agent, works just find as an anti-oxidant and is even found to have properties of an antibiotic. Garlic has the ability to cleanse the body and body tissues, while it is strong enough to keep bacteria at bay. We all know how the pungent smell and strong aroma of garlic come in handy in many a cuisine and delicious recipes, adding spice to food and taste to the palate. But more than that, it is the anti-inflammatory properties, along with its ability to act as a broad spectrum anti-fungal agent, which works wonders when it comes to treatment of acne.

For one, you could take a couple of cloves of the bulb and chew them raw in the morning to get the goodness of garlic into your system.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Acne

Apple cider vinegar features as one of the favorite home remedies for acne, and also for skin care in general. Apple cider vinegar is widely used not just in topical application but also for internal consumption. One of the delicious ways of consuming apple cider vinegar internally is to mix it with a dash of lemon juice, diluted in water, which is reported to have its positive effect on acne and other skin conditions. If you would want to apply apple cider vinegar on to your skin, you could opt for diluting the vinegar with three times the quantity of water and safely apply it on the affected areas of the skin. Apple cider vinegar has good levels of acetic acid, which, by itself, is known to have several health benefits. One of the ways in which you find good use of apple cider vinegar for acne is the kind of drying effects that the liquid has on the skin, assisting the skin in its exfoliating action, eliminating traces of dead tissues and controlling the level of sebum that is found on the skin – you may recall that it is an excessively active set of sebaceous glands that promote acne formation, hence, controlling the presence of sebum on the skin surface would help as one of the natural home remedies for acne. 

Apple Cider Vinegar, Green tea, Tea Tree oil and Jojoba oil for Acne

Another way that you could use apple cider vinegar for skin and for acne would be to add a few additional ingredients that would bestow their goodness and lend a helping hand when it comes to skincare – the ingredients are green tea, tea tree oil and jojoba oil. Green tea has loads to offer in terms of health benefits, and many of those benefits come to fruition on account of the catechins present in it. Green tea is the tea that has gone through minimal processing, unlike their black counterparts, which makes the catechins, antioxidants that could render the harmful free radicals in the body ineffective, abundantly available in it. Tea tree oil, with its origins in Australia, is an effective anti-bacterial and antifungal agent that is extensively used as an active ingredient in products from the cosmetic industry, including soaps and shampoos. And jojoba oil is the oil with multiple health benefits, derived from the shrub that is native of the American deserts. The anti-inflammatory effects of jojoba oil in quelling inflammation and reducing swelling have been well documented. Jojoba oil is found to be rich in vitamin E, an effective anti-oxidant that is widely used in skin care. And the oil has also been found to play an active role in reigning in the sebaceous glands that might have got a bit worked up, controlling sebum secretion and effectively eliminating excess oil that might have got locked into the skin pores. The best way to get the most of the combined benefits of the three would be to heat the mixture of apple cider vinegar in water, dropping a bag of green tea to form a decoction. Heat it for around 15 minutes for the natural goodness of all the elements to seep into the blend, and allow the mixture to cool down. You could then add 3 – 4 drops of tea tree oil and jojoba oil on to the blend, and add one tablet of aspirin, crushed, into the mix, to form a potent toner. Cleanse the skin thoroughly with mild soap and then, apply the toner on to the affected areas of the skin – you could leave it on for a few minutes and then wash it off, and patch the area up with a moisturizer of your choice, to complete one of the most effective home remedies for acne.

Witch Hazel for Acne

There are many reasons why witch hazel should come across as one of the most effective home remedies for acne. For one, witch hazel, the naturally growing North American shrub, is known for its health properties that include its being an astringent, apart from its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. The anti-inflammatory properties of witch hazel have come in handy in quelling inflammation and in the treatment of sores and bruises on the skin, while the astringent action that it has on the skin helps in soaking up excessive moisture on the skin surface – it may be noted that it is both the effect of sebaceous glands over-secreting sebum, as well as the moisture that turns out to be a breeding ground for bacteria, that combine together to result in an outburst of acne. The health benefits of witch hazel tend to be underscored by the relative friendly nature of the shrub and its extracts on the skin and its ease of application on the affected areas of skin – it doesn’t bleach the skin like some of the other astringents are capable of doing. After you have washed your skin clean, you could soak a cotton ball in the witch hazel oil and dab it on the affected areas of the skin gently, preferably two times a day. a. Caution with Astringents: If you have apprehensions with regard to using astringents on the skin on account of their reported bleaching properties, you may try them out on some of the other parts of the body, as in the case of hands or the neck, where the skin is much coarser when compared with the delicate skin on the face. 

Yoghurt and Oatmeal for Acne

One of the home remedies for acne that is often overlooked due to its easy availability and common use in food is yoghurt. Yoghurt is rich in lactobacillus acidophilus, the friendly bacteria that are essential for the proper functioning of the gut. It is frequently cited that lack of or shortage in the availability of lactobacillus acidophilus is something that could lead to increased susceptibility of the skin and other parts of the body to fungal attacks, yeast infections and other conditions associated with bacterial action. The benefits of yoghurt could be combined with those of oats when it comes to home remedies for acne. Oats are good not only in terms of internal consumption but also for external application on the skin. For one, oats are known for their anti-inflammatory properties that go a long way in reducing inflammation and toning the skin. They are also found to have healing powers, repairing damaged skin structures. Further, oats tend to be coarse and hence, turn out to be effective exfoliating agents as well. You could make a paste out of oatmeal and yoghurt and apply the paste on your skin, focusing on the affected areas, and leave it on till it gets dry on its own. You could then wash it off with cold water and you may apply your favorite moisturizer, or a friendly antiseptic cream, if you like, on the acne, as quick remedy from acne and related skin conditions.

Epsom Salt for Acne

Magnesium Sulphate, commonly known as Epsom Salt, has traditionally been used for a wide range of medicinal purposes on account of its healing properties. The mineral magnesium is vital for the proper functioning of systems in the human body. Given that human skin has the ability to readily absorb magnesium, people who have problems in the natural absorption of the mineral through food intake are recommended Epsom salt bath so that the mineral gets absorbed into the body through skin. Apart from its uses in insulin management as well as in muscle pains, Epsom salt is also used to treat certain skin conditions, given its anti-inflammatory properties. Magnesium deficiency is found to be widely prevalent, given that most people consume an average of 300 mg of magnesium per day, while the recommended daily dose is 400 mg. With such magnesium deficiency, there is high likelihood that skin may be prone to diseases. Hence, use of magnesium Sulphate or Epsom salt is one of the useful home remedies for acne. And the application is quite easy as well, as all you have to do is to add a teaspoon of Epsom salt on to your regular face wash of cleansing liquid and massage the liquid on the areas where you have had acne problems. You could then wash your face and dry it by dabbing it with a clean piece of cloth. 

Coconut Oil for Acne

Coconut oil is one of nature’s blessings to mankind, one that is widely available, pure and simple. When it comes to home remedies for acne, you would have to choose pure and unrefined coconut oil that is not embellished with added ingredients and fragrances, as they do not add much value in terms of treatment for acne. Coconut oil is also one of the easily available moisturizers that you could lay your hands on. Just squeeze a couple of drops of pure coconut oil and apply on to the required areas of the skin, which would prove effective.

Baking Soda for Acne

Baking soda is the common name for sodium bicarbonate, commonly used in cooking, as the name suggests, and one that also comes in handy as home remedies for acne. Make a paste of baking soda in clean water and apply it on to the skin after you have cleaned the area with gentle soap. You may let the paste be on the acne infected areas for a while before you could wash it off. You may repeat the process regularly for a few days for effective relief from acne.

Vitamin E Oil for Acne

When it comes to home remedies for acne, you cannot but trust the vitamin that is long associated with clear and glowing skin – Vitamin E. While vitamin E is good on the skin anyway, what makes it even more special is the antioxidant properties that the vitamin has, neutralizing free radicals that affect body cells and tissues. Further, you would also need the right level of moisture in your skin, taking care that your skin is neither too moist nor does it get all too dry and flaky. You may choose from among the list of home remedies for acne that would go with your body type and use the ones that help you in your treatment for acne. However, Vitamin E oil is universally applicable, thought to be safe and one that is also easily available. And more importantly, when you are dealing with acne, you would not only want the acne to disappear but would also want to be scar-free, an objective that is only well served with regular use of Vitamin E oil for acne.

Spot Blood in any of these Body Fluids

Blood in your urine or in your poop cannot always be a red flag; however, it is important to get it checked if this problem seems to be reoccurring. Sometimes, there is an infection or harmful bacteria in the body that could lead to emitting of the blood in these body fluids.

According to experts, a little blood in the urine can determine signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI), or it could also be due to a bladder infection and it can be accompanied with high fever and pain.

On the other hand, blood in stools can be a sign of Diverticular disease, which needs to be diagnosed at the earliest. Blood seen in these body fluids need to be checked to ward off the signs of cancer and other types of diseases.

Sometimes, due to the increase in temperature outside and lack of water or dehydration, you may witness a little blood in these body fluids. So, take a look at what you need to do if you spot a trickle of blood in any of these fluids.

Blood In Urine 

Are you seeing spots of blood in your urine while you pee? Are you also witnessing a burning sensation while you urinate? If yes, it is a sign that you are suffering from a urinary tract infection. If this is accompanied with high fever and pain in the lower back, it is a sign of a kidney disease. It is advisable to seek medical attention and start up on antibiotics.

Blood In Vomit

Throwing up blood while vomiting can look alarming. According to health experts, you could have life-threatening bleeding in the stomach or oesophagus. The other possible reasons for puking blood is due to stomach cancer, peptic ulcers that are painful sores formed in the lining of the stomach, cirrhosis, which is due to the improper functioning of the liver due to harmful side effects of toxins mainly alcohol, etc.

Blood In Breast Milk 

Spotting blood in breast milk is something you should not ignore, as your baby can consume the contaminated blood and this might lead to a stomach infection. As soon as you spot blood in the milk, take a look at the nipples. Sometimes, the nipples crack and bleed. Apply coconut oil on the affected area to heal or visit your doctor to get a cream prescribed.

Blood In Poop 

A bright-red splash in the bowel could signal a hemorrhoid problem that is treatable. But, if you witness spots of blood in the stool itself, it is best to get a stool test done, as it is one of the signs of cancer.

Blood In Snot

Little spots of blood coming through your nose indicate a cold, dry air, or trauma that usually injures the nasal lining of the nose. However, if you suffer from a bleeding nose, especially in summer, it only means that your body is producing a lot of heat, so gear up by drinking plenty of fluids.

Home Remedies for Acidity

We all can recall having fallen a victim to heartburn after the festival season or after attending a wedding. Having gorged on our choicest delicacies, now we face the after effects. It is a common practice to eat light food for a day or two when we suffer from heaviness and acidity to get the system back to normal. But what about those who suffer from acidity day in and day out. Is there a ray of hope for them? Yes, if they follow this article and stick to whatever suits them out of the options given in a disciplined way, there sure is a way out. But why allow the malady go that far? It is best to control in its initial stages. 

Symptoms of Acidity 

Heartburn is the most common symptom; however, severe cases may feel chest pains. The acidity may advance to ulcers because too much acid leads to wounds, scarring and inflammation in the esophagus and intestines. If this is not arrested in time it can go to the extent of hemorrhage. The other symptom is sore throat, that happens in extreme cases where the acid travels up from the stomach to the throat.

Home Remedies For Acidity 

 

Clove 

This condiment helps the digestive system. Suck a piece of clove after every meal, it will give relief from acidity. 

Milk and Dairy Products 

Milk is one of the best remedies for acidity. It is the easiest to source because we all keep milk handy at home. Milk negates the acidic effect in the stomach. With reduced build up of acids in the stomach, the heartburn does not trouble. You can drink a cup of cold milk. If you don't want to drink that much milk in one go, or you feel that you will not be able to digest cold milk, add 2 tbsp of milk in a glass of water and drink. It will give an instant relief. It is a sure shot remedy. Another fantastic and delicious way to reduce acidity is to take a cup of milk with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream floating on top.

Fresh Mint 

Fresh mint juice is helpful in getting rid from acidity, but make a point to take it in limited quantity. It is a strong herb, hence use only 2 or three twigs at a time. Another way to use mint for acidity is to boil 2 glasses of water with 5 to 10 twigs of mint. Remove from heat and keep the lid on till the minty water cools. Add a tbsp of honey to it and drink it through the day. 

Cumin Seeds Drink 

Take a tsp of cumin seeds, put them in 4 glasses of water, Put the pan on heat, bring it to a boil, remove from heat and your anti-acidity drink is ready. You can use another relatively easier method of making this drink, you may not boil it but have the seeds steeped in water for 15/20 minutes. Strain and drink this cumin water. 

Cucumber 

The alkaline nature of cucumber nullifies the acidity, you can sprinkle some pink salt (kala namak) to make cucumber digest quickly.

Watermelon 

Buy a ripe watermelon, cut it and eat it frequently to alleviate the symptoms of acidity. An unripe watermelon will not be of any help. You can store a cut watermelon in the fridge for three days covered with a cling film. Instead of pills for acidity go for a beautiful and tasty delight. 

Coconut Water 

Every time you feel thirsty drink coconut water. Try it for a few days. It sure will give you relief from heartburn. Coconut water soothes the inflamed stomach and cools it down. 

Jaggery 

10g of jaggery eaten after every meal can reduce the acidity considerably. 

Baking soda 

1tsp of baking soda in water works well to reduce acidity. Soda is alkaline, thus it neutralizes acid.

Water 

A glass of warm water as the first drink of the morning is good for acidity. Avoid Tea, coffee and aerated drinks can cause acidity or at least aggravate it. These beverages cause heartburn and must be avoided completely. If you feel a strong urge to have them, drink a very small cup. 

Avoid  Smoking 

Smoking increases acidity and avoiding it completely can help a lot in reducing acidity. 

Avoid Alcohol 

Alcohol has a warming and burning effect. When you take a sip, you can clearly make out that every small sip gives you a burning feeling as it travels down your stomach. It will aggravate your acidity as it does not have a cooling effect, even if you drink it chilled. Beer may be sold as a tempting and cooling drink, actually it does not cool. It promotes the acidity in the stomach.

About Baba Kamal Nath ji

Baba Kamalnath ji is an ascetic (sanyasi) dwelling at Tijara District Alwar Rajsthan, India. At a physical level, he is connected to people through ways of making and distributing ayurvedic medicine for ailments; High Blood Pressure, Epilepsy, Diabetes and Cancer. He is a rare saint whose living is an example of the traditions of asceticism followed in India; for the peace of one's self (Atma), the benefit of the mankind (Manushya yoni) and all living beings (Jeevatma).

Baba Kamalnath ji shuns publicity in any form, but openly and clearly shares his life and journey when inquired.

He was born in Gujrat and is still present at 115 years of age. He went through normal education, and worked as Railway Contractor for British government in India, before Independence. He became an ascetic (Sanyasi) in his youth and served his Guru ji for many years. His guru ji was a doctor (Vaidya) so he served him in making medicines but kept his core activity to active penance (sadhna) as this was his chosen path. He stayed at Kashi for quite some time, but, after his Guruji passed away, he moved into dense jungles to meditate in deep isolation.
He has been in sanyas for almost 75-80 years and has been in the present location for nearly 45-50 years.

His current passion and devotion is to serve suffering humanity.

He is very much in touch with today's reality of India and the world, thus being pained to see the fast degradation of moral values of the ruling class, corruption at every level, total loss of Indian human values, lust for more than required for living, and loss of active thought in Indian languages; along with Indian values, culture and heritage.

He describes himself as a humble servant of his Master, the images of Whom are displayed in his ashram, and Who looks after him and all his needs constantly and incessantly.

He thus does not accept anything but what His Master doles out to him, or what His master deems him fit to have.

To know Babaji you have to sit at his lotus feet and feel his presence, humility and humanity.

Ayurvedic Herbal Cure 

For almost two decades Baba Kamal Nath ji is dispensing herbal Ayurvedic medicine for high blood presure, cancer, diabetes and epilepsy only and does not strictly treat any other malady. His disciples distribute ashram made medicines on all days of the week, free of cost. These are made from Ayurvedic herbs and one of the main constituent is Rudraksh beads.

The patient has to carry his medical reports which are seen by the local village followers of Baba ji. They work on rotation basis and are trained to decipher the reports, and dispense the medicine in the powdered packed form. Baba ji is available for meetings. However, because of his age, it stresses him to meet all the people who come there daily. There is no place to stay or eat in the ashram, which is why one usually collects the medicine and returns home. The medicine is normally for a month and then for next dosage another visit is required.

No gift in cash or kind is either solicited or accepted.

For believers in Hindu karam kand Baba ji does havana daily and its Bhivuti can also be collected for use.

Indian Breed Cow Vs. European Breed

By Rajiv Dixit::  
Link:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AclsCffns1c

There are two types of cows. The European breed and the Indian breed. European breed has A1 beta–casein protein. Indian breed has A2 beta–casein protein. All proteins are long chains of amino acids. Beta casein is a chain 229 amino acids in length. Cows who produce this protein in their milk with a proline at number 67 are called A2 cows, and are the older breeds of cows (e.g. Asian and African cows). But some 5,000 years ago, a mutation occurred in this proline amino acid, converting it to histidine. Cows that have this mutated beta casein are called A1 cows, and include breeds like Holstein.

High levels are found in many parts of northern Europe and also other parts of the world where particular breeds of European origin predominate.
A1 beta-casein releases bovine beta-casomorphin7 (BCM7) on digestion. BCM7 is a neurotoxin. It hampers neural communication with insulin generating cells in lever. Proline has a strong bond to a small protein called BCM 7, which helps keep it from getting into the milk, so that essentially no BCM 7 is found in the urine, blood or GI tract of old-fashioned A2 cows. On the other hand, histidine, the mutated protein, only weakly holds on to BCM 7, so it is liberated in the GI tract of animals and humans who drink A1 cow milk.

Due to this, enough insulin is not getting generated which leads to type 1 Diabetes. This is the reason why so many kids in Western countries and now in India are lactose intolerant. They cannot digest the important sugar. So if you regularly get A1 milk from your dairy, there are high chances that you or your kid or kid's next generation after 20 years will have one or more autoimmune symptoms.
A2 beta-casein does not release BCM7 in the milk and so it is safe. It is unfortunate that Indian Govt promotes A1 breeds more over local mother like Gau mata's breeds. Equally unfortunate is the ignorance of common public, including some Gau shala owners. They become sentimental and reply..."There is not difference in

cows. Cow is cow. Mother is mother." Sheer dance of ignorance!
Potential solution:

1) If you cannot avail A2 milk from desi gau, avoid milk from your diet

2) For children, we must strive to avail ethically procured milk

3) I personally do not prefer milk trade (Very reason why Shri Krishna was against Kamsa and his Nation). Instead, those who want milk, must take care Gau one or another way. It is reciprocal relation. You do seva, you get prasad.
