We Homoeopaths have been claiming about curing the diseases among ourselves since ages, but conveniently forgetting how to convince the other school of medicine, i.e. allopathic world now claiming to be a modern scientific method of treatment. 

This method are trying to prove themselves as the most scientific way of treating patients with help of other pharmaceutical companies, the world of electricity along with other medical devices like C.T. scanners, MRI, 2-D echo imaging equipment and etc.

Convincing ourselves is a matter of negligence, moreover our world of Homoeopaths have been complicating the scientific reasoning by manipulating the theories given by masters to benefit themselves, in the bargain we Homoeopaths have been doubly claimed to be quack, that is why we need to prove our science as an absolute authentic science. Thus I have picked up a topic called diabetic foot and gangrene. 

To emphasize more, let me make it clear while treating diabetic foot cases since 1985, I have come to the conclusion that most of the homoeopathic teachers or lecturers glamorizes homoeopathy beyond it’s limitations, which in fact gives more room to suspicion. 

Let us treat the various complications of diabetes mellitus and bring glory to our science. 

Among all these complications of diabetes mellitus, diabetic foot and gangrene is not only unique but is also very interesting and convincing to everybody in all sciences. 

Interestingly the version is exactly opposite to the world of Modern Science (Allopathy), they treat diabetes or rather control it, but helpless with various complications of it. 

To end up this subject, diabetic foot and gangrene can be taught for 3-6 months to every homoeopathic student, specially the skill of manipulating the foot wound (Surgically) in diabetics. 

I wish to spread among this skilful art of homoeopathy to all Homoeopaths. To speak the truth and teach the limitation of both sciences, which in turn gives authenticity to homoeopathy, also respect to every Homoeopath. I have devised my own approach to cure diabetic foot and gangrene. 

I combine homoeopathy, surgery and insulin therapy. Let us all not forget Homoeopathy brings and maintains blood supply and circulation to the limbs through ‘Collateral’ arteries when the prime artery or arteries are blocked. 

Above all this should enlighten every homoeopath, Surgeon and Physician that the combination of the 3 services does not antagonize but may harmonise therapy in certain difficult conditions like diabetic foot and gangrene. 

P.S. By Homoeopaths I do not mean each and everyone but most of them.

- Case No. 1. Mr. K.P. Age 45 Years. 

This is a true case of ‘Diabetic Foot’ from definition point of view. He underwent heel surgery for18 times after an accident but the heel never healed. 

Ultimately, the patient developed huge bleb in the center of the foot with septicemia. He had high fever with rigors and the diabetes was totally uncontrolled. 

He had Ketone bodies positive and was rapidly slipping into diabetic coma. This is called as central abscess but due to heel ulcer and not the typical third or fourth toe’s gangrene with secondary infection. Here the surgical intervention with Insulin three times a day was conducted. Most important is our Homoeopathic medicine. 

In such awfully diseased condition he wanted everything to be clean and tidy. 

He was undoubtedly restless with chronic thirstlessness. 

He was sure that this leg cannot be saved and it is incurable. 

He had fear of death, which is very obvious in such critical condition.

I started with Arsenic Alb. 1000 one hourly with Insulin and aggressive debridment was done with the help of an Anesthetist in major O.T.

The progress of the improvement took place from stage to stage. In 30 days the patient got his wound completely healed and Arsenic Alb.1000 was reduced from one hour to three times a day. 

After a month it was reduced to once a day for 15 days and later only Sac Lac.

- Case No. 2 Mr. V.W. Aged 59 Years Picture No.1 Before treatment

 

 

This is a unique case of Dry gangrene. Though many a time due to severe infection it is termed to be wet gangrene, I stick to the true definition of gangrenes. 

To justify my diagnosis I define ‘dry gangrene’ means death of the tissues due to arterial block with foul smell and the death of the tissues with foul smell due to Arterial and Venous obstruction is called as wet gangrene. 

So this is a case of dry gangrene with secondary infection. The great toe was mummifying but the expected ‘Auto-Amputation’ as per surgery was not occurring. 

Aresenic album,1000, one hourly for 10 days brought the auto-amputation. Let me clear that diabetes was again controlled with Insulin three times a day.

But the infection on planter aspect went on spreading due to Pseudomonas Infection. Here Homoeopathic principle of restoring the Vital Force came into my rescue as always expected by a true homoeopath. So I gave three bottles of blood transfusion, as his HB was only 8mg%.

The whole foot responded to Arsenic Alb. 1000 and the foot was saved. He had already undergone one Below Knee Amputation 2 Years back.

Picture 2. After Treatment

 

ARSENIC ALB. 1000 reputedly was the answer in both the cases as both were fastidious patients with fear of death, restlessness and sure of incurable disease.

- Discussion: 

Homoeopathy can bring blood supply to the limbs without by-pass surgery. Without homoeopathy every effort to save the foot and leg is well known till now and that is nothing but amputation of leg or the affected part. Well homoeopathic medicine not only saves the foot and leg but the human life.

The important factor to be mentioned is that my method is an integrative method of homoeopathy, insulin and surgery. I warn every Homoeopath that without the perfect knowledge of surgery one should not treat diabetic foot and gangrene. This may cost the life of human. 

Moreover from legal point of view I always summon a Surgeon and a diabetologist to take care of their field. But surgery is conducted as per my own designed method. 

This is a teamwork, but the captain of the team should be ‘a homoeopath’. 

This is my method of bringing ‘authenticity and glory’ to homoeopathic medicine.
