Every epidemic disease needs an early intervention and needs to be prevented & cured at the earliest possible and the same is with the Swine Flu. But why every time with the alarm of new diseases or with the finding of new virus or any new symptom, the whole of the medical faculty gets panic…? and with that the whole of the society gets terrorized also. This time again with the presence of the swine flu virus in some cases, the whole of the society is under terror of getting affected.
Again the Health authorities of the State have ignored the presence of homoeopathy as in the meeting held by the State Governor with different officers concerned with health in treating the swine flu, no representative from homoeopathy was present whereas it should be as homoeopathy is an equal system of treatment and capable of treating the symptoms of any sort of flu.
Swine flu is the name given to a specific type of symptoms which affects patients with previous low immunological status and then the person after coming in contact with the virus starts showing symptoms. Symptoms like severe headache, sudden fever, severe aches & pains, tiredness along with severe chest discomfort are the indications for the flu and when the sample for the tests is found positive for H1N1 virus it is said to be a cases of swine flu. However the symptoms, remain the same but with the positive finding of a sample the Psychological stress increases which in turns affects the immunological status as majority patients gets panic after positive tests and this panic situation hinders the recovery of patient and in many cases responsible for the death of patient.
Even in the flu stage, every patient with some common symptoms of the disease always have some specific symptoms which represent his unique genetic identity as an individual. Homoeopathy takes in account that individual symptoms & differentiate one patient from other suffering from the same disease. Homoeopathy treats the patient in disease considering the holistic aspects and not only the outer symptoms and thus is able to cure all the symptoms which the swine flu affected patients show. It may also be possible that not every patient who comes in contact with the virus shows symptoms as the natural immunity of many people is so strong that it does not allow the virus to affect the body. Homoeopathy has a vast scope in treating the so-called epidemic diseases also as it has medicines which have been clinically verified and proved on symptoms of many diseases. The cause for the imbalance of homoeostasis is traced & the individual manifestations of symptoms are taken & accordingly a medicine is given after assessing the patient.
A homoeopath never needs to go for searching a new medicine with the wake of any new virus as the vast numbers of medicines covering innumerable set of symptoms are capable of treating all sorts of flu symptoms. Homoeopathy can deal very effectively & rapidly with all such symptoms.
A genuine advice of avoiding the probable cause to flu can help a lot to prevent the symptoms.
However it is unethical and illegal to prescribe any specific medicine for swine flu or other any diseases on the name of homoeopathy until it takes an epidemic form. Doctors must avoid doing business at the time when nation & humanity needs their services. Their job is to relieve the patient of anxiety and not to create panic. Nothing in life is to be feared.. It is only to be understood..
