Homeopathy Helps Restore Health & Quality Of Life Of HIV Patient
49-years-old middle-aged, fair widow, Mrs. JDT (Patient Identification Number: 25188), who is a homemaker, visited Life Force’s Chembur branch on 20th March 2015.
The woman was suffering from H.I.V since 12 years. She suffered from weakness, recurrent episodes of fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, and hair fall. Her CD4 count was 557 & CD8 count was 587 on 6th July 2006.
She was taking homeopathic treatment since the time she was diagnosed HIV positive.
She was diagnosed with fatty liver and uterine fibroids in 2012.
She had lean stature. She used to eat both vegetarian and non- vegetarian diet. Her appetite deteriorated, & she used to consume large quantities of water. She had strong craving for sweets. She passed hard, unsatisfactory stools every day. She had sound & refreshing sleep. She often dreamt of her son who was expired due to illness at 15 years of age
Her husband was diagnosed with HIV positive in 2003 & father, mother had hypertension.
She lived a stressful, unhappy life, and she was anxious about future. She had suppressed anger, grief of her son’s death. She wouldn’t socialize because of her disease.
Dr. Shah studied the case in detail and prescribed her one of the research-based medicines for six weeks.
After 6 weeks of treatment, on 8th May 2015, she visited us for the first follow-up. Her appetite had increased, recurrent episodes of fever had declined, weakness had decreased, and hair fall was reduced. Her CD4 count was 1105 & CD8 count was 1286 on 25th March 2015.
After 6 months of treatment, she visited us on 15th October 2015. Her CD4 Absolute count was 1093, CD4 % - 34.56 & CD8 Absolute count was 1510 on 11th September 2015.
After 12 months of treatment, she visited us on 12 April 2016. Her CD4 Absolute count was 721, CD4 % - 35.5 on January 2016
After 16 months of treatment, she visited us on 30th July 2016. Her CD4 count was 885 on 13th July 2016. She didn’t start Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) at government hospital as her CD4 count was above 500
After 24 months of treatment, she visited us on 31st March 2017. She had considerable improvement in relief from her physical complaints as well as in the blood parameters. She was much active and healthy.
Thus, Dr. Shah’s research based medicines help in prolonging the life of asymptomatic cases, delaying or slowing down the progress of infection, and maintaining the quality of life. The results obtained suggest a definitive role of homeopathic medicines in managing HIV infection.
