Spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear of thespinal discs. It happens when discs and joints degenerate, when bone spurs growon the vertebrae, or both. These changes can impair the spine's movement andaffect the nerves and other functions. Spondylosis is common and worsens with age. Types of spondylosisdevelop in different parts of the spine. They are:- • Servicalspondylosis affects below the neck • Thoracicspondylosis affects the middle of the spine. • Lumbar spondylosisaffects the lower back. • Multilevelspondylosis affects more than one part of the spine. (Ankylosing spondylosis) The spine helps give the body structure and supports most of itsweight. It also carries and protects almost all of the main nerve branches thatrun from the brain. As a person ages, the discs become drier, thinner, andharder, and they lose some of their cushioning ability. Nowadays, usingcomputers and smart phones for a long time is one of the most common causes ofcervical spondylosis in young people. These changes affect people differently, depending on eachindividual’s risk factors. Risk factors include:- • Genetictendency • Beingoverweight • Sedentarylifestyle with a lack of exercise • Injury to the spine • Smoking • Having a jobthat requires repetitive or weight-bearing movements that involve the spine • Anxiety ordepression Common symptoms are:- • Stiffness andmild pain in joints that gets worse with certain movements, long periodswithout moving or while sitting for a long time. • Grindingfeeling when moving the spine • Neck and backpains • Fatigue • Weakness inthe hands or legs • Poorcoordination • Muscle spasmsand pain • Loss ofbalance and difficulty walking • Loss ofbladder or bowel control Spondylosis is a common problem and most people are likely todevelop some degree of spondylosis as they get older. Many will not experiencesymptoms, or symptoms will be mild. However, if pain is severe and numbness andweakness affect a person’s quality of life, surgery may be suggested. Homeopathy is highly recommended in chronic diseases likespondylosis. An individualized approach in homeopathy is highly effective intreating and that too without any side-effects.

It is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and can affect any portion of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus. The intestines are inflamed, swollen, may also develop ulcers. There are various theories for causes of Crohn’s disease, but none has been proven. The most popular theory is that the body’s immune system reacts to a virus or bacterium by causing ongoing inflammation in the intestine. It is a rare disorder and has auto-immunity playing an important role in its initiation. A genetic component has been suggested to cause this condition. Single strongest risk factor for development of Crohn’s is a relative with Crohn’s disease. Signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease can range from mild to severe. They usually develop gradually, but sometimes will come on suddenly, without warning. There are times when you may also have no signs or symptoms (remission). Crohn’s disease is a systemic disease, hence, apart from gastrointestinal symptoms, it can also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract. The main gastrointestinal symptoms are:- - Abdominal pain and cramping - Diarrhea (may be bloody) - Reduced appetite & Weight loss - Flatulence & bloating - Pain and/or itching around the anusDifficulty in swallowing - Nausea, and vomiting Symptoms outside the gastrointestinal tract include:- - Skin rashes - Arthritis - Fever - Anemia - Ophthalmic involvement - Osteoporosis - Growth retardation in children, etc. Some signs of Crohn’s disease are:- - Anaemia - Mouth ulcers - Clubbing of nails - Abdominal tenderness - Anal fissures, fistulae and skin tags What causes Crohn's disease is not known. In the disease, the person's immune system attacks his own body. The immune system attacks healthy parts of the digestive tract. This causes inflammatory swelling in the digestive tract. There are no medications or surgical procedures that can cure Crohn's disease. Treatment options are intended to help with symptoms, maintain remission, and prevent relapse. Although diet does not cause Crohn’s disease, some patients may be able to relieve their symptoms by changing the type of food they eat. Eating soft, bland foods, and avoiding dairy products, fats, wheat, and spicy and high-fiber food, may help. However, if the patient becomes malnourished, nutrients should be given intravenously. Through homoeopathic treatment a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat Crohn’s disease symptoms but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility. As far as therapeutic medication is concerned, several well-proven medicines are available for Crohn’s disease treatment that can be selected on the basis of cause, condition, sensation and modalities of the complaints.

Have you experienced or witnessed the symptoms and signs given below? • Sudden on-set of high fever • Muscle, bone and Joint pains • Nausea, Vomiting • Characteristic skin Rash • Eye pain (typically behind the eyes) These are the most common mild symptoms of ‘Dengue Fever’ with an alternative name – “Break bone fever”. Mild symptoms of dengue can be confused with other illnesses that cause fever, aches and pains, or a rash. In a few the symptoms of dengue can become severe within a few hours. Watch for signs and symptoms of severe dengue given below. If you or a family member develops any of the following symptoms, it’s a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention or hospitalization. Severe dengue has a higher risk of death when not managed appropriately. • Stomach or belly pain, tenderness • Vomiting (at least 3 times in 24 hours) • Bleeding from the nose or gums • Vomiting blood, or blood in the stools • Low levels of blood platelets • Dangerously low blood pressure • Rapid breathing • Feeling tired, restless, or irritable Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus, found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide. Dengue has become a global problem since the Second World War and is common in more than 120 countries, mainly in Asia and South America. The global incidence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. Dengue fever is ranked by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the most critical mosquito-borne viral disease in the world - and the most rapidly spreading - with a 30-fold increase in global incidence over the past 50 years. Some common-sense precautions can significantly lower the chances of contracting these and other mosquito borne illnesses. We are all aware of the need to wear loose fitting clothing that covers our limbs when going out and the need to keep our surroundings free of stagnant water. Using mosquito nets, keeping the area around our houses and places of work clean and free of garbage is very helpful too. Commonly available conventional medicine consists of symptomatic and supportive therapy but there is no specific treatment or anti viral drugs for dengue. Early detection of disease and timely access to proper medical care lowers fatality rates. Maintaining proper fluid balance is very important. Given the limited number of options for providing any relief in conventional medicine, homeopathy has emerged as an extremely effective mode of treatment. We at New Life Homeo Care clinic provide effective, safe, fast treatment with the fever disappearing usually in one day followed by other symptoms like rash and joint pains and near total relief in just two to five days. There is a quick cessation of vomiting, bleeding, high fever, pains etc. and a rapid and natural return of platelet counts to normal readings. Transfusion of blood or platelets rarely needed. The treatment process is an amalgamation of Isopathy with Homoeopathy. Isopathy (derived from “isos pathos” or “equal suffering”) refers to the use of the exact substance that causes an illness as a therapeutic tool for that same illness. Homeopathy (derived from “homoios pathos” or “similar suffering”) is founded on the principle of similar. In deserving cases, the treatment can safely be integrated with homeopathy/conventional modern medicine, in institutional setup, for a safer and faster recovery. Similarly, patients who are resisting recovery under institutional care can be helped with integrated medicine for better and safer results. A potential opportunity for Randomized Controlled clinical trials also exists, which could lead a path to benefit patients suffering with Dengue. International Anti-Dengue Day is observed every year on 15 June.
