A Case of Diabetes & Hypertension
Mr. Rajendra Kumar (name changed), aged 65 years, came to our clinic on 26.05.2003. He was suffering from diabetes for the past 16 years. His blood sugar level was 191 mg/dl in the fasting state if he would keep away from medications. Further, he was also having hypertension, with his blood pressure being 140/90 mm of Hg. He was also having problems in moving about and he had to take support of stick while walking. There was a sensation of congestion in all the bones of the body.
In the past history, he had bypass surgery of heart and had IHD 6 years back. Another operation for cataract was also done 3 years back. Family history of the patient showed that there was a history of diabetes, with his mother and two of his brother suffering from the same. Enquiry into his mental aspect revealed the desire for death. He used to weep when alone and had a high degree of self esteem. However he was sympathetic and used to speak very slowly.
The other general symptoms were that he had extreme desire for fruits. He had sudden urging to urinate and had to hasten to urinate.
The rubrics were selected and repertorisation was done using the RADAR software and the following result was obtained :
On the basis of reportorial analysis, Nux vomica 0/1 potency was transmitted and the patient was asked to come after one month. On his next visit, the patient said his legs were moving freely but he reported of recurrent diarrhoea. On the basis of this report, 10 strokes were given to his medicine and he was asked to report again. On this visit, his diarrhoea had stopped and he was feeling much better. Another ten months and a few increase in the potency saw this man in complete control of the situation with his blood glucose and pressure under control without any external medication.
A case of renal failure
One boy Manoj Kumar (name changed), aged 14 years was reffered to our clinic on 14.05.2003. He was suffering from renal pathology and was having Chronic Renal Failure (CRF). On the physical plane the symptoms of his disease were :

On this basis, Carcinosinum 0/1 was transmitted to the patient and he was asked to report after 15 days. This time the patient reported no change but we persisted with our medicine and strokes was given to the same. After another 15 days, he reported slight change in his swelling but there were cramps in his legs. After 2 more months persisting with the same medicine, there was a marked change in his swelling and his Hb% had also improved a bit but there was no significant changes in his other pathologies.
But after 10 days of this last reporting, the patient complained of vomiting and cramps and there was swelling on his face. There was also a dirty discolouration of the tongue and we took the rubric “Chest-Inflammation(pneumonia)-lung-accompanied by- Tongue-dirty discolouration”. This time we decided that work of our Nosode group of medicine was over and we decided on Calc carb 0/1. After one month we got a significant result with improvement in swelling and his other pathologies were :
