Homeopathy Health Care

My previous post was regarding malaria’s symptoms, today I am discussing the causes of
malaria. In humans malaria is caused mainly by parasite-infected mosquito’s biting it’s transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood cells. Usually, people get malaria by being bitten by an
infective Parasitic.



When a mosquito bites an infected person, a small amount of blood is taken in which contains
microscopic malaria parasites. About 1 week later, when the mosquito takes its next blood
meal, these parasites mix with the mosquito's saliva and are injected into the person being
bitten. The malaria parasite is found in red blood cells of an infected person, malaria can
also be transmitted through blood transfusion, organ transplant, or the shared use of
needles or syringes contaminated with blood.

There are four species Parasitic falciparum, Parasitic malariae, Parasitic vivax, and Parasitic ovale .which are the main cause of malaria. Parasitic falciparum is the most common cause of
infection and is responsible for about 80% of all malaria cases, and is also responsible for
about 90% of the deaths from malaria it is found mostly in the tropics and subtropics.
The mosquito infected with P. malariae, P. vivax, and P. ovale occur all over the tropical
regions of the world. P. ovale mainly is found in western Africa
Even birds, reptiles, monkeys, chimpanzees and rodents are also infested by Parasitic
Plasmodium species.

We know that the Malaria is the most common disease that catches the person in the rainy season. It’s infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites. Symptoms of malaria include fever, shivering, pain in joints, vomiting, anemia which is caused by hemolysis, hemoglobinuria, retinal damage, and convulsion.



The classic symptom of malaria is cyclical occurrence of sudden coldness followed by rigor and then fever and sweating lasting four to six hours, children with malaria frequently exhibit abnormal posturing, a sign indicating severe brain damage.

Malaria has been found to cause cognitive impairments, especially in children. It causes widespread anemia during a period of rapid brain development and also direct brain damage. This neurological damage results from cerebral malaria to which children are more vulnerable.

In medicine (gastroenterology), ascites (also known as peritoneal cavity fluid, peritoneal fluid excess, hydroperitoneum or more archaically as abdominal dropsy) is an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Although most commonly due to cirrhosis and severe liver disease, its presence can portend other significant medical problems.
Diagnosis of the cause is usually with blood tests, an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and direct removal of the fluid by needle or paracentesis (which may also be therapeutic). Treatment may be with medication (diuretics), paracentesis or other treatments directed at the cause.





Signs and symptoms

Mild ascites is hard to notice, but severe ascites leads to abdominal distension. Patients with ascites generally will complain of progressive abdominal heaviness and pressure as well as shortness of breath due to mechanical impingement on the diaphragm.
Ascites is detected on physical examination of the abdomen by visible bulging of the flanks in the reclining patient ("flank bulging"), " shifting dullness " (difference in percussion note in the flanks that shifts when the patient is turned on the side) or in massive ascites with a "fluid thrill" or "fluid wave " (tapping or pushing on one side will generate a wave-like effect through the fluid that can be felt in the opposite side of the abdomen).
Other signs of ascites may be present due to its underlying etiology. For instance, in portal hypertension (perhaps due to cirrhosis or fibrosis of the liver) patients may also complain of leg swelling, bruising, gynecomastia, hematemesis, or mental changes due to encephalopathy. Those with ascites due to cancer (peritoneal carcinomatosis) may complain of chronic fatigue or weight loss. Those with ascites due to heart failure may also complain of shortness of breath as well as wheezing and exercise intolerance.

Classification

Ascites exists in three grades:

• Grade 1: mild, only visible on ultrasound
• Grade 2: detectable with flank bulging and shifting dullness
• Grade 3: directly visible, confirmed with fluid thrill

• Inturation of cellular tissue.
• Red lines, streaks and stripes mark out the course of the lymphatics.
• Oedema of the affected parts.
• Discharge of ichorous, foul- smelling pus.
• Gangrene, absorption of ichor with ichoraemia collapse.
• Violent burning pains, not relieved by Arsenic.

• If given early will sometimes about anthrax, later it promotes suppuration.
• Carbuncle surrounded by anthrax, later it promotes suppuration.
• Carbuncle surrounded by indurated spots, pain intense, sleeplessness.
• Stinging burning of edges of ulcer with corroding discharge.

• The parts shaves a blush gangrenous appearance.
• Itching, burning around the carbuncle, with vertigo, stupor, pale face.
• Great restlessness; patient feels better while moving about.
• More indicated in the beginning, when the pains are intense and the affected parts are dark red.

• Anthrax,, especially on back of neck, with burning excruciating pain.
• Eeysipelatous redness around the carbuncle.
• Rigors followed by burning fever, great thirst anxiety, headache, delirium.
• Profuse perspiration and retention of urine, intense pains in carbuncle.

Anthrax is an acute disease in humans and animals caused by Bacillus anthracis, which is highly lethal in all forms. There are effective vaccines against anthrax, and some forms of the disease respond well to antibiotic treatment.

The anthrax bacillus is one of only a few that can form long-lived spores: in a hostile environment, caused perhaps by the death of an infected host or extremes of temperature, the bacteria produce inactive dormant spores which can remain viable for many decades and perhaps centuries. These spores are found on all continents except Antarctica. When spores are inhaled, ingested, or come into contact with a skin lesion on a host they reactivate and multiply rapidly.


Anthrax most commonly infects wild and domesticated herbivorous mammals which ingest or inhale the spores while eating grass or browsing. Ingestion is assumed to be the most common route by which herbivores contract anthrax, but this is yet to be proven. Carnivores living in the same environment may ingest infected animals and become infected themselves. Anthrax can also infect human when they are exposed to blood and other tissues from infected animals (via inhalation or direct inoculation through broken skin), eat tissue from infected animals, or are exposed to a high density of anthrax spores from an animal's fur, hide, or wool.

Remedies & Symptoms

ANTHRACINUM:

• Induration of cellular tissue.
• Red lines, streaks and stripes mark out the course of the lymphatics.
• Oedema of the affected parts.
• Discharge of ichorous, foul-smelling pus.
• Gangrene, absorption of ichor with ichoraemia, collapse.
• Violent burning pains, not relived by Arsenic.
  

• Stitching, burning pain in anthrax, with sensitiveness to the touch and erysipelatous redness around it.
• Furuncles, with manifold sloughs of dead connective tissues.

• Anthrax burning like fire.
• Intense burning in the seat of the carbuncle and some distance around the tumour.
• Sensation as if boiling water was running beneath the skin.
• Restlessness, thirst, debility; at night, from warmth.

• If given early will sometimes about anthrax, later it promotes suppuration.
• Carbuncle surrounded by indurated sports, pain intense, sleeplessness.
• Stinging burning of edges of ulcer with corroding discharge.

• Dark redness around the sore, which discharges dark, bloody pus.
• Tension of the skin around the carduncle, as if too short; nightly burning of the ulcer, obliging one to rise and wash it with cold water.
• Gangrene, carbuncle from blood- poisoning.

Anemia is also known as anæmia/anaemia is defined as a qualitative deficiency of hemoglobin or quantitative deficiency of hemoglobin, a protein found inside red blood cells (RBCs). Since hemoglobin normally carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, anemia leads to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in organs. Since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences. Anemia is also caused by a lack of iron in the body.



The three main classes of anemia include excessive blood loss, acutely such as a hemorrhage or chronically through low-volume loss, excessive blood cell destruction Hemolysis or deficient red blood cell production (ineffective hematopoiesis ).
Anemia is the most common disorder of the blood. There are several kinds of anemia, produced by a variety of underlying causes. Anemia can be classified in a variety of ways, based on the morphology of RBCs, underlying etiologic mechanisms, and discernible clinical spectra.

There are two major approaches: The "kinetic" approach which involves evaluating production, destruction and loss, and the "morphologic" approach which groups anemia by red blood cell size. The morphologic approach uses a quickly available and cheap lab test as its starting point (the MCV ).

Signs of Anemia

Anemia goes undetected in many people, and symptoms can be small and vague. Most commonly, people with anemia report a feeling of weakness or fatigue in general or during exercise, general malaise and sometimes poor concentration. People with more severe anemia often report dyspnea which means shortness of breath, on exertion. Very severe anemia prompts the body to compensate by increasing cardiac output, leading to palpitations and sweatiness, and to heart failure.

Pallor (pale skin, mucosal linings and nail beds) is often a useful diagnostic sign in moderate or severe anemia, but it is not always apparent. Other useful signs are cheilosis and koilinychia .

Pica, means the consumption of non-food based items such as dirt, paper, wax, grass, ice, and hair, may be a symptom of iron deficiency, although it occurs often in those who have normal levels of hemoglobin.
Chronic anemia may result in behavioral disturbances in children as a direct result of impaired neurological development in infants, and reduced scholastic performance in children of school age.

Cholera, is also known as Asiatic or epidemic choler. It is an infectious gastroenteritis caused by enterotoxin -producing strains of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae Transmission to humans occurs through eating food or drinking water contaminated with cholera vibrios. The major reservoir for cholera was long assumed to be humans themselves, but considerable evidence exist that aquatic environment can serve as reservoirs of the bacteria.



In its most severe forms, cholera is one of the most rapidly fatal illnesses known, and a healthy person's blood pressure may drop to hypotensive levels within an hour of the onset of symptoms; infected patients may die within three hours if medical treatment is not provided. In a common scenario, the disease progresses from the first liquid stool to shock in 4 to 12 hours, with death following in 18 hours to several days, unless oral rehydration therapy is provided.

Remedies & Symptoms

Symptoms of Cholera include nosebleed, rapid pulse, dry skin, tiredness, abdominal, cramps, leg cramps, nausea and vomiting.
The principal symptom of infection is diarrhea, which is watery and brown at first, but quickly changes to large volumes of pale fluid stools ('rice-water stools'). In the most severe cases dramatic fluid loss from the continuous diarrhea can lead to hypovolemic shock and collapse within 1 to 4 hours. Depending upon the treatment provided, unconsciousness and death can occur anytime from 12 to 18 hours afterwards, although some individual cases may persist for several days.


ACONOITE

• Caused by fear, fright, shock, heat of the sun, sudden checked of sweat etc.

The stye is also known as Hordeolum it is an infection of the sebaceous glands at the base of the eyelashes. These are similar to Chalazia but tend to be of smaller size and feel much more painful and usually produce no lasting damage.



Cause

The caused of Styes are generally by a staphylococcus aureus bacterial infection. Although they are particularly common in infants, styes are experienced by people of all ages. Styes can be triggered by stress or poor nutrition. Using the same razor to shave hair near both the eyes and a mustache can also spread staphylococcus bacteria, potentially leading to styes or other eye infections. The bacteria are contagious, so care should be taken to avoid touching the eye or sharing cosmetics, towels, or washcloths. Styes will last up to 3 weeks without treatment, with treatment up to a week.




Remedies & Symptoms

The first signs of a stye are tenderness, pain, and redness in the affected area. Later symptoms include itching, swelling, watering of the eye, sensitivity to light, and discomfort when blinking. A yellowish bump sometimes develops in the affected area. This can be found on the top, bottom, or any area pertaining to the eye.

HEPAR SULPH

• Where there is a tendency to a recurrence of the complaint, suppuration inevitable.
• Unhealthy skin , every little injury inclines to suppurate.

• Tumors hard, inflamed and painful .
• The abscess matures very slowly.
• Profuse sweating without relief.

• Frequently appearing styes.
• Margin of lids dry with hardness styes or tarsal tumours, sometimes ulcerating.

A hiccough is an extraordinary type of breathing movement involving a sudden intake of air inspiration due to an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm accompanied by closure of the vocal apparatus (glottis) of the larynx. A hiccough is also called a hiccup.The abrupt inspiration is the result of a sudden contraction of the diaphragm. Closure of the glottis then halts the incoming air. The column of air strikes the closed glottis to produce the characteristic sound: a hiccup.
Hiccups are often rhythmic.
If self-limited, they are just a minor nuisance, but prolonged hiccups can become a major medical problem.

Hiccough caused by




It has been said that hiccoughs are caused by the lack of sufficient intake of oxygen in the air we breath. Many people have many beliefs about what actually causes hiccoughs, and we do not claim to know the true cause(s). However, we do know that when one hiccoughs, there is an involuntary or reflex action of a quick inhalation, accompanied by the brief pain or discomfort caused when the top of the closed throat is inhaled against.

Hiccough can also be caused by

• Diseases of the pleura (thin membrane layers that cover the lung).
• Use of certain prescription or non-prescription drugs.
• Disorders of the stomach, esophagus, bowel, or pancreas.
• Spread of cancer from another part of the body to the liver or part of the pleura.
• Pneumonia.

• Hiccough and convulsions of left arms and right leg alternating.
• Voilation hiccough after midnight, accompained by profuse sweat .
• Spasms, composed partly of eructations,party of hiccough voilent attacks of hiccough , so that they jerk the patient up, even with feeling of suffocation.

• Hiccough , pressure in stomach after a meal.
• Violent eruction, somthing fotid and cadaverous-smelling.
• Gastric irritation with pyrosis, restless , moving about.

• Sever hiccough while eating and for some time afterwards or hiccough -like eructations, esp. in Pregnant women.
• Burning in oesophagus and aching pains in stmoch,extended thought to back,coming on when at rest, by motion.

I verruce is also known as warts, generally it is like a samll tumor. Typically it happens in hands and feet but often other locations, that can resemble a cauliflower or a solid blister.
Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person.




Cause

Warts are caused by a virus called human papilloma virus or HPV. There are approximately 100 strains of human papilloma viruses Type 1, 2, and 3 causes most of the common warts.

Type 1 is associated with deep plantar sole of the feet, and palmar warts palm of the hand.

Type 2 causes common warts, filiform warts, plantar warts, mosaic plantar warts.

Type 3 causes plane warts, or commonly known as flat warts.

Anogenital warts are caused by types 6, 11, 16, 18, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 39, 40 and others. HPV types 6 and 11 cause about 90% of genital warts cases. HPV types 16 and 18 currently cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases,and also cause some vulvar, vaginal, penile and anal cancers. Gardasil, a vaccine for HPV is designed to prevent infection with HPV types 16, 18, 6, and 11; it is claimed to prevent infections to other strains of anogenital warts through cross protection against other types of HPVs. HPV is associated with oral cancer, laryngeal cancers, tracheal and lung cancers.



Types of wart

Verruca vulgaris is also known as common wart which is , a raised wart with roughened surface, most common on hands and knees;

Verruca plana is known as a flat wart its , a small, smooth flattened wart, flesh coloured, which can occur in large numbers; most common on the face, neck, hands, wrists and knees;

A pain commonly caused for kidney stone is known as Renal colic. This pain typically begins in the kidney area or below it and radiates through the flank until it reaches the bladder. Colic is a misnomer because renal colic pain tends to remain constant, whereas colic implies pain that is somewhat intermittent and often comes in waves, such as in biliary colic.



This renal colic pain has two varieties dull and acute; the acute variation is particularly unpleasant and has been described as one of the strongest pain sensations felt by humans. The pain depending on the type and sizes of the kidney stones moving through the urinal tract the pain may be stronger in the renal or bladder area or equally strong in both.

Fibroid are usually benign non-cancerous tumors found, most often, in the uterus of women in their 30's and 40's, although they occasionally develop on other organs which contain smooth muscle cells.
Fibroid are solid tumors which are made of fibrous tissue, hence the name 'fibroid' tumor. Most often fibroids occur as multiple tumor masses which are slow-growing and often cause no symptoms.




The size of fibroids varies immensely among women and some are so small that a microscope is required to see them. However some women experience a single large fibroid tumor the size of a grapefruit or a fibroid which is so large it encompasses the entire abdominal area. An individual woman may have single or multiple fibroids. In fact, there can be a mixture of different types present in any given patient.

Fibroids are responsive to hormonal stimulation, especially that of estrogen, and may grow steadily during the fertile period of a woman's life. They frequently begin to shrink after menopause.

Fibroids are vascular tumors. That means that they have a rich supply of blood vessels, most often coming from the uterine artery
Symptoms are present in about half of the women with fibroids. The most common symptoms are pelvic pain, pain during sex, excessive vaginal bleeding, and a feeling of abdominal or pelvic fullness. In addition, the weight of a fibroid can compress the colon and urinary bladder, causing constipation or frequent urination.

Remedies & Symptoms

Aphthae, aphthous ulcers or canker sores are ulcers that form on the mucous membranes of the mouth or genitals. The most common type of an aphthous ulcer is recurrent minor aphthous ulcer. Aphthous ulcers are typically recurrent round or oval sores or ulcers that occur inside the mouth on areas where the skin is not tightly bound to the underlying bone e.g. on the inside of the lips and cheeks or underneath the tongue.

Causes Aphthous ulcers Current thinking is that the immune system has been disturbed by some external factor and these results in the development of aphthous ulcers. Also, approximately 40% of people who get ulcers have a family history of aphthous ulcers.

Some factors that seem to trigger outbreaks of ulcers include: Mechanical trauma, for example self-inflicted bite. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly vitamins B, iron, and folic acid. Certain foods including chocolate. Emotional stress and lack of sleep. Certain toothpastes. Menstrual cycle Aphthous ulcers are commonly present in certain medical conditions.

Many of these conditions are associated with impaired immune systems and include Behcet disease, HIV/AIDS, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, Crohn disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Sometimes these ulcers can be painful, particularly if they are irritated by movement or from eating certain types of food. People may experience a single ulcer or multiple ulcers. Multiple ulcers tend to be widely distributed throughout a person's mouth.

Asthma is known as a chronic long-term lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways, this disease involving the respiratory system in which the airways constrict, become inflamed, and are lined with excessive amounts of mucus, often in response to one or more triggers which causes recurring periods of wheezing means a whistling sound when you breathe, it also causes chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The coughing often occurs at night or early in the morning.


These attacks may be triggered by such things as exposure to an environmental stimulant such as an allergen, environmental tobacco smoke, cold or warm air, perfume, pet dander, moist air, exercise or exertion, or emotional stress. In children, the most common triggers are viral illnesses such as those that cause the common cold.

The major reservoir for cholera was long assumed to be humans themselves, but considerable evidence exists those aquatic environments can serve as reservoirs of the bacteria.

Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative bacterium that produces cholera toxin, an enterotoxin, whose action on the mucosal epithelium lining of the small intestine is responsible for the disease's infamous characteristic, exhaustive diarrhea.

In its most severe forms, cholera is one of the most rapidly fatal illnesses known, and a healthy person's blood pressure may drop to hypotensive levels within an hour of the onset of symptoms; infected patients may die within three hours if medical treatment is not provided.

In some case the quantity of urine discharged is excessive amounting to three or four gallons per day, each gallon containing from one pounds of sugar.
Blood glucose levels are controlled by a complex interaction of multiple chemicals and hormones in the body, including the hormone insulin made in the beta cells of the pancreas. Diabetes mellitus refers to the group of diseases that lead to high blood glucose levels due to defects in either insulin secretion or insulin action.

Inflammation of the throat or pharynx is known as Pharyngitis. It is painful, and thus is often referred to as a sore throat. Inflammation of the tonsillitis and/or laryngitis may occur simultaneously, which can make eating difficult or painful.
Its mostly caused by viral infection (40%-60%), with the remainder caused by bacterial infections, fungal infections, or irritants such as pollutants or chemical substances.

The pharynx is a common site of infection. This is because viruses and bacteria often settle in this part of the body after a person inhales dust or water vapour containing the microorganism. Infection can also arise when a person touches their nose or mouth after having touched an object shared with another person with the disease. The foreign invader reproduces rapidly after settling on the body tissue.

In the skin, this results in a characteristic maculopapular rash, and later, raised fluid-filled blisters. Smallpox spreads very easily from person to person.
