Mr D.D.S., 47yrs, a technician of a Political Party, came to me on 12 Dec 12, walking with crutches supported by a partner, diagnosed as a case of Paraplegia with Feet Drop due to Vit B 12 deficiency along with diffuse posterior annular disc bulge at L3-4 to L5-S1 level.
He was not able to lift his legs, feet, toes.
He was not able to stand without the support.
He was getting numbness in thighs at night with sudden shock like sensation.
ODP
1995: Started as sudden falling on right or left side due to imbalance associated with tingling & numbness in lower extremities
2004: Suffered from passing involuntary urination
2008: Started getting difficulty in walking with bed wetting. Gradually, lost capacity to walk as well as stand without support
Being a technician of a Political Party, he was very loquacious having a egoistic attitude. He was quiet particular, perfect & industrious in his work. He could not tolerate injustice to himself as well as others.
Due to his illness, he left Mumbai & came to his native place. As he was not able to work, he is getting too much bored as well as felt forsaken by the peoples, friends, relatives. He was gradually getting indifferent with everyone as the disease was progressing.
On observation, he used to Frown a lot.
MRI: LUMBO SACRAL SPINE 11 Jan 2002 (Hinduja)
Diffuse posterior annular disc bulge is seen from L3/4 to L5/S1 levels indenting the thecal sac.
Vitamin B 12 (29 May 2004)
153 pg/ml (Normal 193-982 pg/ml)
Vitamin B 12 (8 Feb 2011)
446 pg/ml (Normal 193-982 pg/ml)
ANALYSIS OF A CASE
• This is gradually developing Paraplegia may be due to the disc prolapse.
• Earlier, it was considered as a case of Vit. B 12 deficiency. But, even after Vit. B 12 supplement, Paralysis was increasing. His B 12 levels done in 2011 found to be quiet normal. Yet, the disease was progressing.

A CASE OF DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
A very affectionate child, 4.5years, a case of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, came to me on 16 Feb 2010, with tremendous weakness in muscles of upper & lower limbs with hypertrophy.
Due to weakness in the limbs, child wants to be carried after walking for little distance, very sensitive to pain. He is not able to climb up & downstairs otherwise he requires support.
His CPK enzyme levels were 33616 IU/L on 16/09/09. (Normal levels are 25-192 IU/L).
He was on Prednisolone 40mg/day on tapering dose since 6 months to 10mg/day without any improvement in the weakness. In fact his muscle weakness is increased.
He is having flat foots.
Nature wise, very affectionate; restless; shy; likes to play in company; does not like to go to school; when questioned, he becomes dull, unable to answer either due to timidity or difficulty on thinking; getting irritable on very small matters; fears dark; with active memory; found to be disobedient, biting his nails & putting the fingers in mouth, continuously moving here & there in the consulting room.
His mother told that he is homesick, moody child but desires to travel a lot.
He eats pencil a lot. He sleeps on abdomen. He still wets his bed at night.
Past History:
Neonatal Jaundice at birth
H/O Partially developed Chickenpox 2 years back
Family History:
Diabetes: PGF & MGF
Hypertension: PGF & MGF
Myocardial Infarction: PGF

Duchenne muscular dystrophy
• Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive X-linked form of muscular dystrophy, which results in muscle degeneration, difficulty in walking & breathing, and death.
• The incidence is around 1 in 3,600 boys.
• Females and males are affected, though females are rarely affected and are more often carriers.
• The disorder is caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene, located in humans on the X chromosome (Xp21).
• The dystrophin gene codes for the protein dystrophin, an important structural component within muscle tissue.
• Dystrophin provides structural stability to the dystroglycan complex (DGC), located on the cell membrane.
• Symptoms usually appear in male children before age 5 and may be visible in early infancy. Progressive proximal muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis associated with a loss of muscle mass is observed first. Eventually this weakness spreads to the arms, neck, and other areas.
• Early signs may include pseudohypertrophy (enlargement of calf and deltoid muscles), low endurance, and difficulties in standing unaided or inability to ascend staircases.
• As the condition progresses, muscle tissue experiences wasting and is eventually replaced by fat and fibrotic tissue (fibrosis).
• By age 10, braces may be required to aid in walking but most patients are wheelchair dependent by age 12.
• Later symptoms may include abnormal bone development that lead to skeletal deformities, including curvature of the spine. Due to progressive deterioration of muscle, loss of movement occurs, eventually leading to paralysis.
• The average life expectancy for patients afflicted with DMD is around 25, but this varies from individual to individual.
Pathogenesis of DMD
• Dystrophin is responsible for connecting the cytoskeleton of each muscle fiber to the underlying basal lamina (extracellular matrix) through a protein complex containing many subunits.
• The absence of dystrophin permits excess calcium to penetrate the sarcolemma (cell membrane). Alterations in these signaling pathways cause water to enter into the mitochondria which then burst.
• Muscle fibers undergo necrosis and are ultimately replaced with adipose and connective tissue.

Prednisolone stopped by the patient’s parents a week back as there was no relief.
Follow Up (26/02/10)
He suffered from Mumps on right side on 20th Feb & recovered itself within 4 days without any medicine.
Playing with friends, weakness decreased a lot after the mumps.
Remedy continued in bd doses for 15 days.
I already advised them that he might suffer from any infectious disease after starting the treatment based on understanding from Predictive Homoeopathy. So, if anything happens, please, don’t give any medicine. (Ref: Verbatim by Dr Praful Vijaykar, Chapter 14)
• Why the Mumps did came up? Is it a good or bad sign?
• Mumps is a tumor virus like HSV, EBV & CMV.
• Why are they known as tumor virus in the allopathic world? Because when they infect & go to the cell, they cause a change in mitotic cycle in such a manner that extra growth occurs in a cell. The cell starts growing excessively giving rise to tumors. For us it is a Sycotic virus.
• Therefore, sycotic virus being thrown out of the body is a good sign in this case. The tumor viruses when thrown out to clear the internal malady or dysfunction are exteriorization....
• ...So, just rejoice & lay your hands off if tumor virus appears. The virus is in the neuro-ectoderm & is thrown off. This is a excellent sign. These viruses, especially tumor virus harboring in the nerves or muscles are thrown off through the prochordal plate. So the patient will first get some throat problem & then on the body.
• Tumor viruses being exteriorized is one of the best result for the Homoeopath.

CARCINOCINUM: A brief study
This article is prepared by my student Dr Sanjay Jadhav (M.D.). If one has to study Materia Medica thro' Repertorail aspect, this is an ideal example. He has explained the Carcinocin in much detail.
CARCINOCINUM…..A brief study
Development from the expectation of others
In this world of competition every parents expect their child should earn money, fame, etc. They expect that their child should do much more in life (when they see the achievements of children around them esp. of relatives, neighbors). They have “Extraordinary expectation” from child. Carcinosinum person evolves from this situation as a child.
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - expectations of parents too high: Carc
Here, parents do not care whether their child is having ability to achieve, compete, etc. Out of selfish motive to gain esteem in society, they expect child should complete their wishes and please them AT ANY COST!!!
At this time, what is the passion of child, what they really want, what is the aim of them, or what they want to become is ignored. By keeping aside all the wishes (of children), it is important that they should fulfill their parents wishes.
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - mentally suppressed; from being: Carc
MIND - DESIRES - suppressing his desires: Carc
He does not get chance to recognize his abilities, what can he do.
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - opportunities to realize his abilities; lack of: Carc
In this situation, he is dominated by parents. He is abused. His upbringing is done very harshly. They behave to him very rudely. They reproach, reprimand, and punish him. He remains sad due to this “hard influence of others.”
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - domination - children; in: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - domination - children; in - parental control; long history of excessive - harsh upbringing: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - domination - long time; for a: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - abused; after being: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - abused; after being – children: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - abused; after being – sexually: Carc2
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - abused; after being - sexually - children; in: Carc2

MIND - AILMENTS FROM – reproaches: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - rudeness of others: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - scorned; being: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - unhappiness - influence of other people; due to: Carc
This is the ‘Wrong suffered’ state of Carcinocin patient.
MIND - DELUSIONS - wrong - suffered wrong; he has: Carc
MIND - DELUSIONS - wrong - suffered wrong; he has - children; in: Carc
Due to this torturing, he becomes angry but he swallows his anger.
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - anger – suppressed: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - anger - indignation; with: Carc
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - anger - silent grief; with: Carc
MIND - ANGER - abused; after being: Carc
MIND - ANGER - abused; after being – children: Carc
MIND - ANGER - children; in: Carc
MIND - ANGER - humiliated; after being: Carc
Humiliation means:
1) State of disgrace or loss of self-respect
2) An instance in which you are caused to lose your prestige or self-respect
MIND - ANGER - asthmatic respiration; with: Carc
Asthmatic respiration means smothering feeling; inability to breath as per one’s wish i.e. can not live according to one’s wish- ‘Ghutansi Hoti Hain.’
WHY? Because he is helpless on emotional and mental level:
MIND - HELPLESSNESS; feeling of - emotional level; on: Carc
MIND - HELPLESSNESS; feeling of - mental level; on: Carc
He feels if he revolts against them, he will not be accepted, cared i.e. he will be rejected. Already he has suffered a lot where he has not got emotional attachment for which he starved since long time.
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - rejected; from being: Carc
Reject means refuse to accept or acknowledge. His proposals, his emotions, his passions, are always rejected.
Actually, a Carcinocin child feels:
MIND - CARESSED; being - wants to be caressed: Carc
But what happens? Only sadness comes to him and he feels unfortunate.
MIND - SADNESS - love; from disappointed: Carc
MIND - UNFORTUNATE, feels: Carc
He goes into the grief state, but this grief is not expressed.
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - grief - silent grief: Carc
Though he is sad, he can not weep (weep mean to make visible, to express) and this grief remain for long time.
MIND - WEEPING - cannot weep, though sad: Carc
MIND - GRIEF – prolonged: Carc
Then it leads to ‘hollowing out’ of him.
MIND - GRIEF - undermining the constitution: Carc
Undermine means:
1. Damage or weaken esp. gradually or insidiously
2. Dig or excavate beneath so as to make it collapse.
‘Forsaken feeling’ is the theme of Carcinocin
He feels that:
‘I am not loved by anyone.’
‘No one pay attention to me.’
‘No one praise for what is done by me.’
‘I have no friend.’
‘No one understands me.’
‘He is discarded by world.’
Now, he fears for aloneness that seems to come. He feels very sad when he feels alone.
MIND - FORSAKEN feeling - isolation; sensation of: Carc
MIND - DELUSIONS - alone, being - always alone; she is: Carc
MIND - DELUSIONS - alone, being - belong to anyone; she did not: Carc

MIND - DELUSIONS - friendless, he is: Carc
MIND - DELUSIONS - misunderstood; she is: Carc
MIND - DELUSIONS - neglected - he or she is neglected: Carc
MIND - DELUSIONS - protection, defense; has no: Carc
MIND - DELUSIONS - separated - world; from the - he is separated: Carc
MIND - FEAR - alone, of being: Carc
MIND - FEAR - solitude, of: Carc2
Actually this rubric is from cross reference for Fear-abandoned being.
Abandoned means forsaken by owner; leave someone who needs or counts on you.
MIND - SADNESS - alone – when: Carc
When he is alone, he is in need of company, caressing, kind words, etc.
MIND - COMPANY - desire for – amel in company: Carc
MIND - COMPANY - desire for - children; in: Carc
MIND - COMPANY - desire for - children; in - rejected; who are: Carc
In this state of sadness, he feels like to talk to someone, wants to share. Once he tells or shares for a long time (because it is aggregated for a long time and to the deepest level) he feels better.
MIND – COMMUNICATIVE: Carc
MIND - TALKING - amel the complaints – prolonged: Carc
Out of it he desires sympathy and affection from others. He longs for sympathy and affection which is not given to him.
MIND - SYMPATHY, compassion - desire for: Carc

CARCINOCINUM…..A brief study
Development from the expectation of others
In this world of competition every parents expect their child should earn money, fame, etc. They expect that their child should do much more in life (when they see the achievements of children around them esp. of relatives, neighbors). They have “Extraordinary expectation” from child. Carcinosinum person evolves from this situation as a child.
MIND - AILMENTS FROM - expectations of parents too high: Carc
Here, parents do not care whether their child is having ability to achieve, compete, etc. Out of selfish motive to gain esteem in society, they expect child should complete their wishes and please them AT ANY COST!!!

§ 10 Sixth Edition:
The material organism, without the vital force, is capable of no sensation, no function, no self-preservation1, it derives all sensation and performs all the functions of life solely by means of the immaterial being (the vital principle) which animates the material organism in health and in disease.
1 It is dead, and only subject to the power of the external physical world; it decays, and is again resolved into its chemical constituents.
Dr Prasad Rasal:
In this aphorism, Dr Samuel Hahnemann tries to explain the details regarding the Vital Force & the Vital Principle. He explains that the material organism, without the vital force, is capable of no sensation, no function, no self-preservation. The material body derives all sensation and performs all the functions of life solely by means of the immaterial being (the vital principle) which animates the material organism in health and in disease.
So, the animation to the immaterial being is because of the Vital Principle i.e. nothing but the Soul. If, it is lost, the human being is called as a dead. What remains after the death is nothing but the material body which decays & again becomes part & parcel of this universe.

APHORISM 9....
In the healthy condition of man, the spiritual vital force (autocracy), the dynamis that animates the material body (organism), rules with unbounded sway, and retains all the parts of the organism in admirable, harmonious, vital operation, as regards both sensations and functions, so that our indwelling, reason - gifted mind can freely employ this living, healthy instrument for the higher purposes of our existence.
Dr Prasad Rasal:
After explaining the Importance of Removal of the Totality of the Symptoms means Removal of the Disease in its whole extent, Dr Samuel Hahnemann wants to explain the reason behind it. He has explained the in detail definition & explanation of the concept of Vital Force in this aphorism. If one questions what do you mean by Vital Force? This aphorism is the perfect answer to it if you understand it thoroughly.
Every word of this aphorism is very important. He starts the definition as:
1. ‘In the healthy condition of man’. It means when the body, mind & soul performs in a perfect harmony, the state is called to be healthy. In a simple manner, when our physique works according to our thoughts without any complaint & happiness is the result of it, is the perfect harmony & considered as a healthy condition.
2. Then comes the ‘the spiritual vital force (autocracy), the dynamis’. The word spiritual has a wide meaning. It means spirit like dynamic invisible entity, Supernatural, refers to forces and phenomena which are beyond ordinary scientific understanding. The presence of which is considered only on the basis of Cause & the Effects. Autocracy means a form of government in which unlimited power is held by a single individual.
3. Next is ‘that animates the material body (organism)’. Vital Force gives the life to the Human Body or structure. Animation, movement appears as a result of the Vital Force.
4. … ‘rules with unbounded sway, and retains all the parts of the organism in admirable, harmonious, vital operation, as regards both sensations and functions’ … means it not only animates the body but at the same time it reigns on it. Every system in the body functions in a perfect order & harmony. Even the co-relation of different systems on one another is maintained in a perfect harmony so that there is no disturbance. Heart never takes rest nor the kidneys or brain etc. Sensation is the prime importance of the Human Being. Whole human race is live because of it. It is maintained by the Vital Force. If the Sensation is lost, everything is lost.
5. ... ‘so that our indwelling, reason - gifted mind can freely employ this living, healthy instrument for the higher purposes of our existence’ … means the Human being can use this living healthy body the way he thinks.
Every human being is gifted with the Mind & Logic. He is able to think in an inductive & deductive manner to get what he needs. The purpose of Human Life has a meaning is because of his ability to reason.
Every human being remain alive for some purpose of his existence so that he can be recognized by the people, society etc. Everyone’s purpose of existence is not same but every human being lives to achieve a permanent happiness in life i.e. Moksha, Samyak Gyan & that is actually a Perfectly Healthy State. Paths are different but the ultimate goal is one & only one. The Vital Force tries to achieve it with the help of Mind, Body & Soul.

APHORISM: § 8
It is not conceivable, nor can it be proved by any experience in the world, that, after removal of all the symptoms of the disease and of the entire collection of the perceptible phenomena, there should or could remain anything else besides health, or that the morbid alteration in the interior could remain uneradicated.(5)
FOOTNOTE: 5
When a patient has been cured of his disease by a true physician, in such a manner that no trace of the disease nor morbid symptom, remains, and all the signs of health have permanently returned, how can anyone, without offering an insult to common sense, affirm in such an individual the whole bodily disease still remains in the interior? And yet the chief of the old school, Hufeland, asserts this in the following words: "Homoeopathy can remove the symptoms, but the disease remains." (Vide Homoepathie, p. 27, 1, 19.) This he maintains partly from mortification at the progress made by homoeopathy to the benefit of mankind, partly because he still holds thoroughly material notions respecting disease, which he is still unable to regard as a state of being of the organism wherein it is dynamically altered by the morbidly deranged vital force, as an altered state of health, but he views the disease as a something material, which, after the cure is completed, may still remain lurking in some corner in the interior of the body, in order, some day during the most vigorous health, to burst forth at its pleasure with its material presence!
So dreadful is still the blindness of the old pathology! No wonder that it could only produce a system of therapeutics which is solely occupied with scouring out the poor patient.
Prasad Rasal:
After explaining the Importance of the Totality of the Symptoms, Dr Samuel Hahnemann want to explain that Removal of the Totality of the Symptoms means the Removal of the Disease in its full extent. Because, Totality of the Symptoms is the expression of the internal dynamic disorder of the Vital Force. If this totality disappears in toto, naturally the internal disease disappears.
Already, James Krauss has explained this concept in his Introduction to the Sixth Edition of the Organon in the sentence: Cessat Effectus Cessat Causa means Remove the effects & you remove the disease, the cause of the effects.
Foot Note: In this foot note Dr Samuel Hahnemann mentioned the criticism done by Hufeland, the chief of the old school during his time in the following words: "Homoeopathy can remove the symptoms, but the disease remains." Dr Hahnemann explained the two reasons behind the criticism of Hufeland.
1. After understanding the dynamic concept of the disease, Hufeland might be thinking the cause of the disease is material. For e.g. If a patient of Enteric Fever or Typhoid comes towards a Homoeopath, naturally his Widal Test is positive because Widal Test measures the titre of the Antibodies against the Salmonella Antigen. If the titre is above 1:80, it is considered as a positive test & a person is labelled as a Typhoid patient. After prescribing him the Homoeopathic medicine, naturally due to the Dynamic Stimulus, his Immune System starts reacting in a natural manner producing more antibodies against the antigen. His complaints disappears after the medicine, but the titre increases as the antibodies get increased. As the old school measures the disease in the material form, according to their concept it looks as if Homoeopathy can remove the symptoms, but the disease remains. This is only because of wrong concept & logic used by the old school.
2. The second reason explained by the Hahnemann was that Hufeland might be never liked the progress of this Dynamic Homoeopathic Science. But, I personally, don't think it so. It's definitely due to strong hold of the Materialistic Concept in Hufeland's mind.
At the end of the foot note, He again criticized the Materialistic & Pathological aspect of the Old School.
It is not conceivable, nor can it be proved by any experience in the world, that, after removal of all the symptoms of the disease and of the entire collection of the perceptible phenomena, there should or could remain anything else besides health, or that the morbid alteration in the interior could remain uneradicated.(5)
FOOTNOTE: 5
When a patient has been cured of his disease by a true physician, in such a manner that no trace of the disease nor morbid symptom, remains, and all the signs of health have permanently returned, how can anyone, without offering an insult to common sense, affirm in such an individual the whole bodily disease still remains in the interior? And yet the chief of the old school, Hufeland, asserts this in the following words: "Homoeopathy can remove the symptoms, but the disease remains." (Vide Homoepathie, p. 27, 1, 19.) This he maintains partly from mortification at the progress made by homoeopathy to the benefit of mankind, partly because he still holds thoroughly material notions respecting disease, which he is still unable to regard as a state of being of the organism wherein it is dynamically altered by the morbidly deranged vital force, as an altered state of health, but he views the disease as a something material, which, after the cure is completed, may still remain lurking in some corner in the interior of the body, in order, some day during the most vigorous health, to burst forth at its pleasure with its material presence!
