2 HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF HEMOLYTIC Abstract: In our work on nosodal homeopathics we have found that homeopathy can be stimulatory to the immune system in defeating certain microorganism intruders. One condition that is extremely needful of antibiotics is strep throat, in which streptococcal throat infections demand immediate treatment before more opportunistic invaders cause more severe disturbances. In our study homeopathy was utilized on twenty-two strep throat infections and six streptococcus skin infections. The results showed that a safe, effective resolutions could be achieved with the homeopathics. The study discusses this in the context of endotoxin and nosodal homeopathic intervention. 2

3 Introduction: In our other studies on homeopathic nosodal work it has been found that our homeopathics were successful in working with urinary tract infections [Studies: 2-7]. We have now undertaken the study of homeopathy as a treatment for strep throat. Strep throat is very dangerous for the child and the entire family, as it can create severe disturbances if not treated properly. Immediate intervention is usually through antibiotics, to attack the streptococcus directly. But this will interfere with the ability of the immune system to do its job, and it will alter the bowel flora, creating longer-term problems. Also, antibiotics upset other types of nutrient balances such as manganese, sulphur, and other metabolites. Homeopathy has been utilized for centuries to deal with many cases of exactly this type of disease. Many homeopaths will see this type of disease and treat it quite effectively with a host of various homeopathics. In this study we used a wide-spectrum blend of bacterial and nosodal homeopathics to treat the bacterial infection. Methods and Materials: Twenty-two patients with strep throat and six patients with hemolytic strep and skin infections have presented at our medical clinic over the last three years. Antibiotics were not used with these patients, and we experimented with the use of the nosodal homeopathic to deal with these severe conditions. All the patients, ranging in age from five through thirty-two, presented with extremely discomforting sore throats. In the skin group, hemolytic strep usually produces a one- to two-centimeter blotch on the skin that has a weepy type of red sore. In both throat and skin infection cases, microscopic analysis of the throat and skin swabs were performed with gram stains (Sigma, U.S.A.) to determine the gram negative streptococcus. (The antibody test of antideoxyribonuclease titer was not used for this study, nor was the streptozyme test.) This was performed with a microscope in the office at the time of the swab to ascertain the type of treatment needed. Once the streptococcus intruder was identified, the homeopathic was prescribed to the patient. The homeopathic used was BAC, designed for a wide range of bacterial intrusion. Patients were encouraged to take this formula at seven drops, three times a day. In acute cases patients were told to take three drops every half hour until the pain began to subside. A behavioral adjunct that was recommended to patients was a yoga practice known as "the lion". The patient flexes the muscles in his face, neck and throat by making as funny a face as he can and sticking his tongue out as far as he can. Holding this position for thirty seconds, he then releases and relaxes for fifteen seconds, then tenses for thirty seconds, relaxes for fifteen, and tenses for another thirty seconds. Doing this three times helps to bring blood to the throat, and helps to stimulate recovery. Since the experiment was done in a clinical setting, we tried to involve as many behavioral capacities as possible in our discussion to assist the patient. However, the homeopathic and its ability to work on various bacteria were also studied. 3

4 Results: Of the twenty-two throat patients and six skin patients, there was a complete confirmation of the presence of streptococcus in the microscopic study. Most of the patients remarked that within two to three days the sore throat was completely gone. At the two-week follow-ups, a swab of the throat and skin lesions (if any) was again performed. In eighteen of the throat cases no significant amount of streptococcus could be found on the slide. In four cases a minor amount of streptococcus was still seen under the microscope. Of the six skin conditions, five totally responded within two weeks, and the weepy sores had subsided. In the extra skin case there was major improvement, but some of the sore still existed. Reapplication of the swab and microscope examination found that there was still streptococcus. The patient was then referred to an antibiotic topical cream to further dispense with the streptococcus. Discussion: From this study and from other clinical experience we have seen that this is a powerful substitute for antibiotics and can easily and quickly be utilized in a medical practice to help patients cope with a painful, acute condition. It is noted that these conditions occur most often during cold and flu seasons, and also immediately after the ingestion of large amounts of sugar, such as after holidays associated with sugar. These "sugar holidays" expose the patient to large amounts of sugar, which then can create problems with the patient and interfere with the immune system. Removing massive amounts of sugar from the diet will improve almost any patient's health. This is especially important for children. Thus our review of the clinical protocol has shown that the complex homeopathic is capable of dealing with strep throat infections and skin infections. Further studies are currently being performed by the editing and validating staff listed on this study. In over eight years of therapy utilizing the BAC in a medical clinic, the author and other doctors have never seen any secondary infections of the endocardium result. Improved functions of the adenoids and tonsils also seemed to be a beneficial side effect of using this natural formula. It appears to be a safe and easy-to-use formula that stimulates the immune system rather than attempting to defeat the intruder itself. 4
