HOMOEOPATHY FOR DEMENTIA AND WEAK MEMORY

HOMOEOPATHY FOR DEMENTIA AND WEAK MEMORY

Dementia isn't a specific disease. Instead, dementia describes a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning.

Though dementia generally involves memory loss, memory loss has different causes. So memory loss alone doesn't mean you have dementia.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of a progressive dementia in older adults, but there are a number of causes of dementia. Depending on the cause, some dementia symptoms can be reversed.

Causes-

Dementia involves damage of nerve cells in the brain, which can occur in several areas of the brain. Dementia affects people differently, depending on the area of the brain affected.

Dementias are often grouped by what they have in common, such as the part of the brain that's affected or whether they worsen over time (progressive dementias). Some dementias, such as those caused by a reaction to medications or vitamin deficiencies, might improve with treatment.

Progressive dementias

Types of dementias that progress and aren't reversible include:

Alzheimer's disease.  In people age 65 and older, Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia.

Although the cause of Alzheimer's disease isn't known, plaques and tangles are often found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Plaques are clumps of a protein called beta-amyloid, and tangles are fibrous tangles made up of tau protein.

Certain genetic factors might make it more likely that people will develop Alzheimer's.

Vascular dementia.

Lewy body dementia

Frontotemporal dementia.

Mixed dementia.

Other disorders linked to dementia

Huntington's disease

Traumatic brain injury.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Signs and symptoms of this fatal condition usually appear around age 60.

Parkinson's disease. Many people with Parkinson's disease eventually develop dementia symptoms (Parkinson's disease dementia)

Dementia-like conditions that can be reversed

Some causes of dementia or dementia-like symptoms can be reversed with treatment. They include:

Infections and immune disorders

Metabolic problems and endocrine abnormalities.

Nutritional deficiencies.

Reactions to medications.

Subdural hematomas.

Poisoning.

Brain tumors.

Anoxia

Normal-pressure hydrocephalus.

Symptoms-

Dementia symptoms vary depending on the cause, but common signs and symptoms include:

Cognitive changes

·        Memory loss, which is usually noticed by a spouse or someone else

·        Difficulty communicating or finding words

·        Difficulty reasoning or problem-solving

·       Difficulty handling complex tasks

·        Difficulty with planning and organizing

·        Difficulty with coordination and motor functions

·        Confusion and disorientation

Psychological changes

·        Personality changes

·        Depression

·        Anxiety

Inappropriate behavior

Paranoia

Agitation

Hallucinations

Risk factors-- Risk factors

Many factors can eventually lead to dementia. Some factors, such as age, can't be changed. Others can be addressed to reduce your risk.

Chikungunya fever and its homeopathic treatment

Chikungunya fever and its homeopathic treatment

What is Chikungunya Fever?

Chikungunya is a viral disease that is transmitted to human beings by infected mosquitoes. The most common vector of chikungunya is the Aedes Egypti mosquito. Another species of mosquitoes namely Aedes Albopictus has also been found the culprit in some cases. Usually Chinkungunya is not life threatening.

Origin of Chikungunya

Chikungunya disease was first detected as recently as 1952 in Africa. This means that it is almost a new disease. The place where it was first detected was Makonde Plateau. In the Makonde language, chikungunya means something that is bent up. It was named so as the chikungunya patient almost bends up or stoops because of the joint pains.

Causes of Chikungunya fever

Chikungunya is primarily caused by the spread of the chikungunya virus through an infected mosquito. In some cases transmission of the disease from an infected pregnant mother to a newborn baby has also been seen. The Aedes Egypti and the Aedes Albopictus mosquitoes are the known vectors or transmission agents. They introduce the chikungunya virus into human beings when they bite. The Aedes Egypti is known to bite during the day time. Therefore it is very important from the prevention point of view that one takes care to avoid mosquitoes during the day time.

Incubation period of Chikungunya

The incubation period of chikungunya varies from 1-12 days. This means that it takes this much time for full-fledged symptoms of chikungunya to show after the initial infection. Once a person has been infected through a mosquito bite, he or she is not going to fall ill instantly. It takes some time for the virus to replicate inside the human body. Once it reaches a critical mass, it stars showing its symptoms.

Symptoms of Chikungunya Fever

The characteristic symptom of chikungunya is the sudden onset of high grade fever.

There is pain in joints and muscles along with the fever. Joint pains are present on both sides of the body and are present in a symmetric manner. The pains can be quite severe and there is extreme weakness along with.

Headache and fatigue are common.

There may be redness of the eyes.

A rash like eruption is also present in about half of the cases.

Nausea and vomiting may also be seen in some cases.

Although uncommon, mouth ulcers and loss of taste may also be present.

The fever usually lasts about a week and in some cases it can go on for up to 10 days. The fever is often biphasic. It remains for a couple of days, gets better and then returns again.

The joint pains may last for weeks or even months after the fever is over. In some cases, it has been known to last for years. Once infected, a person gains lifelong immunity from chikungunya.

Complications of Chikungunya fever

Young children, infants and old patients are at a higher risk of developing complications. The possible complications of chikungunya include uveitis, retinitis, myocarditis, nephritis, hepatitis, meningoencephalitis. Guillain Barre syndrome and some cranial nerve palsies are also possible. It is rare for chikungunya to result in a fatality.

Diagnosing Chikungunya Fever

The clinical presentation and the endemic presence of Chikungunya in the area can be a good pointer to the diagnosis of this problem. Laboratory findings include lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, increased creatinine levels and liver enzymes. A definite laboratory diagnosis can be made through a RT-PCR test.

Treatment of Chikungunya fever

Since Chikungunya is a viral disease, allopathy has hardly any treatment for this. The usual symptomatic treatment of fever and joint pain is resorted to. Rest, plenty of fluids and pain killers are used to relieve joint pain. There is no specific allopathic medicine to cure the chikungunya infection.

Homeopathic treatment of Chikungunya fever

Homeopathic medicines for chikungunya fever treatment are much more effective than the allopathic medicines. That is because homeopathy never relies on individual antagonistic agents against a particular virus or bacteria. Homeopathy has always worked on the philosophy that the human body is perfectly endowed with all means to fight any and every infection provided the immune system of the body is working properly. Therefore homeopathic medicines just strengthen the immune system of the patient. A strong immune system is thus able to subdue the infectious virus on its own.
