1/3. The need for the correct sequence of remedies.In chronic disease, often several medicines are required to complete a cure. These should follow a correct sequence to have an optimal effect. Giving the second or the third indicated medicine first may result in temporary amelioration but will not start the process of cure. The following case exemplifies this rule.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = medicine (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Clinical holistic medicine: developing from asthma, allergy, and eczema.This paper shows how consciousness-based holistic medicine can be used in the case of asthma, allergy, and eczema. We have many fine drugs to relieve patients from the worst of these symptoms, where many children and adults suffer health problems related to hyper-reactivity of the immune system. Many symptoms remain throughout life because the drugs do not cure the allergy and allergy today is the sixth leading cause of chronic illness. The etiology of the immune disturbances is mostly unknown from a biomedical perspective. consciousness-based holistic medicine could therefore be used to treat these diseases if the patient is willing to confront hidden existential pain, is motivated to work hard, and is dedicated to improve quality of life, quality of working life, and personal relationships. Improving quality of life is not always an easy job for the patient, but it can be done with coaching from the physician. An increased physical health is often observed after only a few sessions with a physician skilled in using holistic medical tools and able to coach the patient successfully through a few weeks of dedicated homework. Children with allergy and asthma can also be helped if their parents are able to do work on personal development, to improve the general quality of life in the family and their relationship with the child.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = medicine (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. eczema-like plaques secondary to enoxaparin.Low-molecular-weight heparins are used extensively in acute medicine. They are generally well tolerated but may cause a rare, eczema-like type IV hypersensitivity reaction. We report 3 cases of this eruption and speculate that it may be significantly under-reported due to misidentifying the causal drug, which may have serious consequences. We discuss treatment alternatives such as fondaparinux sodium, which may rarely cross-react.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = medicine (Clic here for more details about this article) |
