TESTIMONIAL AND EXPLANATION - case
of Master Maulik
Renal Failure Treatment - Chronic Renal
Disease
This is the case of Master Maulik - son of my sister, a 10 years old male child.
In 1995 his complaints began after he had been sick for some time and his parents
noticed that he had developed some swelling on both legs. Urine revealed high
amounts of protein. He was referred to a Nephrologist who, after all investigations,
diagnosed him as having Nephrotic Syndrome. He was put on cyclosporine and steroids.
For about 6 years he continued to have increased swelling that had spread to
his abdomen and face too. He would get 3-4 acute exacerbations of the condition
in a year in spite of being on high dose of steroids. He would develop swelling
all over the body and his urine would become turbid. The albumin in the urine
would become ++++ at such times. Apart from this he would also get frequent colds
during which his urine albumin would start increasing again. Nephrologists advised
for kidney biopsy which was not consented presently by relative.
Nephrologists' told that eventually he will need a transplant. They told that
there is no cure yet. He will die too young. Prognosis is very grave.
Do not suffer from chronic diseases for yourself or in your family and get total
cure to remove root cause of disease. Tremendous suffering could be avoided,
but people don't know the right method.
At this time I started the homoeopathic treatment, he was on a high dosage of
steroids daily along with a diuretic. Homoeopathic medicines were given based
on his symptomatology only (as I did not know much about all aspects of homeopathy)
I gave him Apis, Ars - one dose each and after one month Mercurius and Lycopodium
one dose each. Bio-chemic Natrum Mur 6X and Ferum Phos 6X twice a day for 15
days was also given. Then biochemic was advised to take as soon as signs of cold
appears. Nephrologist was unaware that he is under homeopathic treatment. I used
to advice my sister that you should be under constant care of Nephrologists.
Within 3 months there was good improvement in his condition. Now he was on reduced
dosage of steroids. He would not get colds as frequently as before and there
was improvement in his overall health after commencing homoeopathic treatment.
My sister reported that it's the first time in all these years that we have been
able to reduce the dosage of steroids and still he continues to improve. They
were glad about opting for homoeopathic treatment because steroids would give
his son only temporary relief and lots of side-effects, of which they were not
even aware previously.
By the end of 6 months of treatment he did very well and his drugs' dosage and
steroids had been lowered by Nephrologist. Nephrologist was surprised that he
was doing so well in spite of being on such a low dose of the medication. Now
Maulik would not require as frequent visits to Nephrologist as before and he
would need to see him only once in about 3 months. Overall he did well with the
treatment. The response in his case was positive in a very short period of time.
They were much surprised for the treatment which he had to continue for long
time since this disorder started.
At about 12 months of starting homeopathic treatment all drugs - homeopathic
and allopathic were stopped, as he was cured of all symptoms and no albumin in
urine.
Today Mr Maulik is 32 years old and he enjoys good health. He is not taking any
allopathic or homeopathic medicine for as long as 15 years except when he feels
starting of cold symptom, I have advised him to take biochemic - Natrum Mur 6x
and Ferum Phos 6x as required.
Understanding of chronic renal disease
Chronic renal disease produces progressive loss of renal function leading to
low and deteriorating glomerular filtration rate. Initially Chronic kidney disease
is without specific symptoms and can only be detected as an increase in serum
creatinine or protein in the urine. As the kidney function decreases creatinine
level in blood serum is increasing. Nuclear medicine MAG3 and DMSA scans give
idea of blood flows through kidney.
Following is the pathophysiolgy of chronic renal disease:-
- Blood pressure is increased due to fluid overload
and production of vasoactive hormones, increasing
one's risk of suffering from congestive
heart failure
- Urea accumulates; leading symptoms are ranging
from lethargy to pericarditis and encephalopathy.
- Potassium accumulates in the blood can cause
fatal cardiac arrhythmias
- Decreased erythropoietin leads to anemia.
- Fluid volume overload produces mild to
severe pulmonary edema
- Hyperphosphatemia can lead to hyperparathyroidism,
with hypercalcaemia, renal osteodystrophy and
vascular calcification that further impairs cardiac
function.
- Metabolic acidosis, due to accumulation of
sulfates, phosphates, uric acid etc, may cause
cardiac and neuronal dysfunction and promotion
of hyperkalemia due to excess acid (academia).
- Accelerated atherosclerosis develop cardiovascular
disease. Chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular
disease tend to have significantly worse prognoses
- In chronic renal failure numerous uremic toxins
accumulate. These toxins show various cytotoxic
activities in the serum.
Causes of Chronic kidney disease:- It
is easy to understand kidney disease classification according
to the part of the renal anatomy:-
- Vascular, such as bilateral renal artery stenosis
and small vessel disease such as ischemic nephropathy,
hemolytic-uremic syndrome and vasculitis
- Glomerular,
- Primary Glomerular disease such as focal
segmental glomerulosclerosis and IgA nephritis
- Secondary Glomerular disease such as diabetic
nephropathy and lupus nephritis
- Tubulointerstitial diseases such as polycystic
kidney disease, drug toxin-induced chronic tubulointerstitial
nephritis and reflux nephropathy
Obstructive such as with bilateral kidney stones
and diseases of the prostate
Chronic kidney disease - Homeopathy Treatment
and Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. It means
that homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient
as a person, as well as his pathological condition.
The homeopathic medicines are selected after a
full individualizing examination and case-analysis,
which includes the medical history of the patient,
physical and mental constitution, family history,
presenting symptoms, underlying pathology, possible
causative factors etc. A miasmatic tendency (predisposition/susceptibility)
is also often taken into account for the treatment
of chronic conditions. Homeopathy tries to treat
more than just the presenting symptoms. The focus
is usually on what caused the disease condition?
Why 'this patient' is sick 'this way'. Other factors
like mental, emotional and physical stress that
could predispose a person to illness are also looked
for. The correct homeopathy remedy tries to correct
this disease predisposition. The focus is not on
curing the disease but to cure the person who is
sick and to restore the health. Homeopathy remedies
do give cure but even in incurable cases as well
the quality of life can be greatly improved with
homeopathic medicines. |
