Coronavirus . COVID-19 . Homeopathy Can Help!

By / 10th March, 2020 / 3 Comments

Homeopathy has an incredible track record when it comes to treating viruses. The situation can be frustrating, since conventional medicine has very little treatment for viral infections, including Coronavirus or COVID-19.

Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine that has been used globally for over 200 years, by millions of people all over the world. Homeopathy is listed and the second most widley used form of medicine worldwide by the World Health Organization (WHO). Homeopathy helps the body to heal itself, safely and effectively, without any dangerous side effects or suppressive drugs.  All Homeopathic remedies are made in a standardized manner, under strict Homeopathic Pharmacopeia and FDA guidelines.

Homeopathy has a rich history in epidemics in different parts of the world.

One of the most famous being the success of Homeopathic medicine in the 1918 Spanish Flu Epidemic. The mortality rate of people treated with traditional medicine and drugs was over 28%, while those treated by Homeopathic physicians had a mortality rate of just 1.05%!

GENUS EPIDEMICUS

In epidemics, a large number of people have same symptoms. The symptoms of this group are studied and most the similar Homeopathic remedy. This remedy is selected as the Genus Epidemicus for that epidemic. This Genus Epidemicus is administered to healthy people in that particular region, to prevent or lessen the illness from that particular disease.

This same method is being followed for the current SARS-CoV2 or COVID-19 outbreak.

We now have many cases which have been treated successfully, using only Homeopathic remedies.

The virus appears to go through somewhat predictable stages of the illness.

COVID-19 symptoms may include

Coronavirus affects different people in different ways. Infected people have had a wide range of symptoms reported – from mild symptoms to severe illness.

Symptoms that may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus:

Cough

Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Or at least two of the following:

Fever

Chills

Repeated shaking with chills

Muscle pain

Headache

Sore throat

Loss of smell or taste

This list is not all inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you.

If you develop any of these emergency warning signs for COVID-19, seek emergency medical attention immediately:

Trouble breathing

Persistent pain or pressure in the chest

New confusion or inability to arouse

Bluish lips or face

The CDC believes that symptoms of SARS-CoV2 or COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days to up to 24 days after exposure. This infectious period is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period of MERS viruses. The latest situation summary updates are available on CDC’s web page 2019 Novel Coronavirus, Wuhan, China: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html

Below is a list of Homeopathic Remedies reported to have treated these symptoms nicely

All remedies may be used in either a 30C potency or 200C potency. 30C is a medium strength, and is often all that is needed. 1M to 10M may be used when symptoms are more intense or severe.

If a remedy does not act or alleviate symptoms, after three doses, no closer than 15 minutes apart, then it is not the correct remedy. Retake the case and choose a different remedy.

Acute illnesses go through stages. It may be necessary to change remedies, as the symptom picture changes. In this way, we are “chasing symptoms” with remedies, so to speak, until the case is resolved.

Homeopathy works best when matched with the totality of the symptoms.

Below you will find links provided to Homeopathic Materia Medica, in order to differentiate which remedy is needed, using guiding symptoms such as:
The character of the sensation (tight, burning, raw), the mood or mental state of the patient (fear, anxiety, restless, irritable, does not want to be questioned, lethargic), generalities (hot, cold, sweaty, dry, flushed, pale, air hunger, thirst), desires (warm vs. cold drinks, foods, fresh air, etc.) and modalities such “What makes it better?” and “What makes it worse?”

Preventative

  • Camphora
  • CIMEX LECTULARIUS
  • Phosphoric-acid
  • Arsenicum-album
  • Bryonia-alba
  • Coronavirus Covid-19 nosode
  • Oscillococcinum

Genius Epidemicus

There is no agreed upon Genus Epidemicus as of this writing.

India ~ The Indian government recommended the Homeopathic remedy Arsenicum-album-30C, as a prophylactic to Coronavirus or COVID-19. The results are still preliminary, but so far, India is showing remarkably low infection rates, despite its close proximity to China.

*I am currently suggesting that this remedy may be taken daily, for 3 days in a row, and once-a-week, thereafter. Daily, to be continued, if you have an outbreak in your area or were knowingly exposed.

Other Homeopaths are suggesting Bryonia-alba-30C as the prophylactic or genus epidemicus. This is also a strong contender. This remedy would be also be used in a 30C potency, in the same way.

CHAMPHORA

This information is derived from about 50 case reports with symptoms, that were collected by an Iranian doctor working with diagnosed COVID-19 patients, in Iran.

Those cases reports were sent to renowned Homeopath Dr. Rajan Sankaran who, based on the symptoms provided, suggested the Homeopathic remedy Camphora as a treatment.

Information from approximately 8 of the cases – their symptoms and treatment responses were provided in detail in the document below.

Those given the remedy recovered much more quickly than expected from their exhaustion and collapse.

Some were able to return to work within the week.

As a result, the document recommended Camphora-1M, twice a day as a preventative and 10M every 3-hours, once symptoms begin.

CIMEX LECTULARIUS

Proposed Genius Epidemicus according to research conducted by world renowned Homeopath Dr. Divya Chhabra is a lesser known remedy called Cimex Lectularius:

https://www.homeopathycenter.org/medicine_finder/cimex/

This remedy looks very promising!

Suggested dose: Prevention – 30C, 3-days in a row, once-a-week thereafter, as long as the threat exists.

Active illness – 1M-10M potency.

Additional support

Vitamin C: Based on the work of Dr. Thomas Levy Vitamin C proved to be successful in China for COVID-19. Patients were given 24 grams of intravenous (IV) Vitamin C per day, at 1 gram per hour to prevent cytokine storm – which a bad immune response.

1,000 milligrams (mg) =     1 gram

Liposomes are tiny, nano-sized bubbles that mimic the body’s own cell membranes and are designed to protect the Vitamin C as it travels through the body. Liposomes also have the ability to travel through the body’s cells aiding and accelerating absorption.

The liposomal form of Vitamin C is similar to IV Vitamin C in terms of absorption.

We recommend adults take 1,000 mg Vitamin C daily, as ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate or the liposomal form for overall immune health.

We also recommend the use of megadosing of the liposomal form of Vitamin C during illness.

Intravenous (IV) Vitamin C has long been considered a superior form of Vitamin C, especially when it comes to megadosing. However, more recent studies on Vitamin C bioavailability and liposomal technology have proved to yield similar results.

Although an IV method does provide a higher dose of Vitamin C, liposomal products demonstrate that more of the nutrient is actually delivered to the tissue cells since liposomal Vitamin C is a lipid substance and act to fully protect the nutrient it encapsulates. Since it is the amount of the nutrient absorbed that determines the effectiveness of the treatment, liposomal vitamins are quickly becoming a cost-effective and safe alternative to IV Vitamin C megadosing.

*During illness 24 grams per day, at 1 gram an hour, for 7 days is suggested.

A word on Elderberry

Elderberry is excellent, and medically sound, as an antiviral for many flu and respiratory issues. However, for the Coronavirus, its best to AVOID Elderberry at this time. As an immune stimulant, it can cause your lungs to damage themselves with this particular virus.

The mechanism in question is a cytokine storm as referenced in The Lancet: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30305-6/fulltext?fbclid=IwAR2N_WGWKmL6x-OSeT_EV4BtufaN812KHf5dAdIrC_aWFQpMhLsM6kurjuU](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30305-6/fulltext?fbclid=IwAR2N_WGWKmL6x-OSeT_EV4BtufaN812KHf5dAdIrC_aWFQpMhLsM6kurjuU)

Elderberry increases cytokine response, so when the body is already attacking itself in a cytokine storm, the Elderberry further strengthens the response.

We understand Elderberry mechanisms very well, and we know that the COVID-19 is seeing a lot of cytokine damage, in the more acute cases and fatalities. This virus has not been known long enough for more solid science on the direct interactions yet.

Since Elderberry is known to feed this immune response, and this immune response is causing harm with Coronavirus, I am recommending that it not be used at this time.

More information:

*Consider the use of Usnea and Reishi mushroom, in place of Elderberry.

    This is by far the most informative site regarding use of homeopathic remedies for covid19. I’m classically trained in homeopathy, not practicing, as I just wanted the knowledge to treat family and friends. Greatest respect for you for sharing your knowledge. Thank you.

    I have also found that an initial dose of Aconite 30c will often nip viruses in the bud if taken immediately upon noticing something feels “off”.

    Our family has been under Tina’s care for over 10 years. She’s helped us thru many sicknesses. We relied heavily on her when our family contacted the virus. She prepared us with this article and helped chase away lingering symptoms weeks after.
    We saw immediate results with every remedy recommendation. We feel very blessed to have this information, but most importantly to have Tina Buie as our a trusted physician.
