Tuberculosis - Consumption or phthisis. It is accompained by low feaver, pulse generally above 90 per minute and loss of flesh and vitality. In cases of tuberculosis of the lungs, there is cough and sometime bleeding from the lungs. It is a serious disease, which kills about 5 lakhs of people in India alone every year. Every T.B. patient should take an optimistic view of his illness. This, however, does not mean that he should neglect medical treatment - Mixture of FP 12x, KM 3x, MP 3x and NP 3x if there be bleeding from lungs or any other part; if no bleeding add KS 3x to above. A dose of mixture of CP 3x, KP 3x and NM 3x be given also daily. This does much good in a very large percentage of cases, specially in the beginning or first stage. If it dose no good in 2 or 3 weeks give mixture of CS 3x, FP 12x, KP 3x, MP 3x, NM 3x, NP 3x, NS 3x and S 12x. Tuberculinum 1000 has proved useful in a number of cases - 1 pill fortnighty - Not to be repeated. An excellent Indian preparation which cures T.B. even in the very last stage of the disease in about 6 weeks is as follows. Take 4 beads of garlic ( Lahsun), 1/4 of nutmeg (hindustani jaiphal) 1 chatak (2 oz) of coconut, cut up into very small pieces; put in about one seer or 2 lbs of goat's milk and tuger to match and boil and prepare kheer (a sweet North Indian preparation). It should be prepared and eaten daily increasing galic beads by one bead daily, till 21 are reached then 21 are to be used daily for a week, then the number should be reduced daily one till 4 are reached. Take 1 seer (2 lbs) pieces of wood of peepal tree which have fallen down or bark of peepal tree , dry it and burn it on ground which has been washed and pasted with mud. The ash should be collected and strained through cloth. Mix with 1/2 tola (1/5 oz) of honey and give it, follwed by water or milk once daily. This cures. In the beginning of T.B. the patient should touch she goat as much as possible and take goat's milk. Toddy juice is also useful - make bread with wheat flour mixed with todday juice and water and give it patient to eat. Even in last stages, life can be saved if a woman who has given birth to a son, allow the patient to breast feed the patient just as a baby takes its mother's milk. Tuberculinum 1000 recommended here is not to be repeated. Even some advanced cases have been cured by giving to the patient pulp of raw mango after removing its green cover, the stone should however, be thrown away. One or two chataks are to be given daily with a little red pepper and salt. If raw mango is not available, dried mango khatai, available at grocers should be given. T.B. of bone - If above dose no good give mixture of CF 3x, CP 3x and S 12x. |
