My child is gaining weight after recovery from Asthma with Homeopathy Master R.S.G. (PIN – 11503) a 5 years old boy from the interior part of Maharashtra state India, reported at Life Force with his parents and paternal uncle in December 2008. He was suffering from Asthmatic Bronchitis since 1 year. His acute episodes would start with cold, running nose, dry cough, and then breathlessness. He would also get nausea and vomiting along with the episodes of breathlessness. The frequency of the episode was once in month and it would last for 4-5 days. the episodes were more frequent in the rainy season; in acute episodes, he would feel better after vomiting. Every time he would get ill, he was subjected to allopathic medicines in the form of antibiotics and nebulizers. My son is not gaining weight His mother was concerned about his average appetite and weight. She reported that because of the disease and its conventional medicines, he was not able to gain weight. He just weighed 17 kilograms and he had not gained weight for the last 2 years. (ideally, he should have weighed around 22 kilograms) Personal detail Patient was a playful child, with good bonding with his friends. He would happily share his toys with his friends. Often he would become short tempered if his wishes were not fulfilled. He had very good memory related to academics. Patient had average intake of water and food with excessive craving for milk and spicy food. Family and personal history of medical illness There was a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and hypothyroidism. Patient never had any major illness in his past. At Life Force Patient’s case was studied in detail by Dr Shah and he was given constitutional medicines in the first week of December 2008. In last week of January 2009 parents reported on phone that patient did not have any episode of cold, cough or breathlessness in 2 months and that they had stopped all conventional treatment. With gradual recovery in subsequent follow ups parents visited personally in May 2009 to report that Asthmatic Bronchitis complaints were better by more than 80%. He had just one episode of cough in the last 6 months and the intensity was less than 80 % as compared to earlier. He did not have nausea and vomiting. “My child is gaining weight now” Patient’s mother was very happy and she said that his appetite has improved. On examination there was an increase in weight by 2 kilograms. Conclusion Homeopathy enhances the self healing mechanism of the body, and simultaneously shows a positive effect on the body’s various functions. This case verifies the fact; the child recovered wonderfully in his Asthmatic Bronchitis, and also gained a proper appetite. The child had not gained weight in the last 12 months, however, with proper Homeopathic treatment; there was an all round improvement with restoration in health and a normal weight gain.
