How Could An Hiv/aids Patient Become Symptoms Free

How could an HIV/AIDS Patient become symptoms free

It was early morning of 9th November, 1992 when someone rang the bell at my residence. As I opened the door, I saw a young robust person outside. I allowed him in and asked to sit down. When I enquired about the purpose of his visit, he told me that he was suffering from AIDS and he had come to me for treatment.

Unlike my first encounter with an AIDS patient, I was not taken aback at all. He further said, I have been told by one of your acquaintance that you have already given treatment to one AIDS patient.

I took the man to my clinic where he gave me his case history which is as follows:

Name: Mr. A.S., married Sikh gentleman of 27 years of age.
Address: A resident of nearby village of Chandigarh Union Territory.
Education: Could not read English properly, may be under matric.
Occupation: The patient had been working as an electrician at Dubai for past 6 years.

While in Dubai the patient frequented to brothels. According to rules prevalent in that country, every foreigner is liable to undergo HIV test once in 3 years. He too, had to undergo that test after a 3-year stay and declared negative of HIV.

Since he continued visiting prostitutes, he once got a small cut (syphilitic chancre) in his glans penis sometime in 1991. He got it treated from a private doctor who gave him injections Penicillin or its equivalent, some tablets and ointment for 5/6 days. Thereafter he started visiting prostitutes only once in a month. After 3 months of that syphilitic infection, the patient got malaria-type fever. He took medicines for about 10 days without any relief. He then changed the doctor. Another physician gave him an injection and some tablets for 3 days. The patient got rid of the fever, but after 6/7 days he started passing few drops of bright blood every time at the end of passing stools.

As required under the law, the patient again underwent the HIV test and found to be a positive case. He was deported to India. The patient, however, was neither given the test report nor informed about his being infected from HIV. Somehow, he came to know the reason for his deportation.

After reaching India, he went to the Immunopathology Department of the PGIMER, Chandigarhh, (the sero-surveillance centre of this region) for verification. The test report confirmed presence of HIV in his blood. Later, the patient took treatment from a local private practitioner who gave him 15 injections one injection on alternate day and some tablets for a month. Thereafter the patient again went to the PGIMER for blood test with the hope that he might have been freed from the HIV infection, but there was no change in the blood report. However, on both the occasions the reports of HIV tests were not given to him. The bleeding per anus continued meanwhile.

Since the patient was earning a good fortune in Dubai and in India he felt quite idle, he was keen to become virus-free and return to his job abroad. He once came in contact with a roadside vendor of herbal treatment who by just holding his wrist (measuring the pulse) hit the target by diagnosing him to be an AIDS patient. In lieu of one months medicines from that vendor, the patient paid him quite a big amount. The patient took the tasteful herbal mixture for about 5-6 days and discontinued the same on the advice of some friends in Immunopathology Department of the PGIMER. Those friends also advised him to turn to homoeopathic system of medicine.

On further probe, the patient gave me following symptoms:
-Gripping pain in abdomen along with a sudden urge for stool-passing. Patient rushes for toilet and passes 3-4 loose motions daily.
-Bleeding per anus at the end of every evacuation.
-Pain and weakness in legs after fever for the last one month.
-Early seminal discharge for the last 2 months.
-Itchhing all over the trunk but more on the scrotum.
-O/E: painless movable nodule on the right cheek since childhood. No external piles.

General Condition: Physically quite healthy. Weight: 77 kg.
Mental Condition: No fear or apprehension about the outcome of the disease except that the patient wanted his pregnant wife and the unborn child to be free from HIV infection. Also, he urgently wanted a HIV negative report so that he could go back to Dubai and earn his livelihood. He was not much worried about the bleeding in stool.

Family History: Familial tendency for wine. Patients wife also underwent HIV test along with the patient but the presence of HIV in her blood was ruled out.

However, I did not notice marked change in the brown discoloration of the face and nose. His body weight was 80 kg. The patient further reported, Once I slept in open at night without any clothing on my body and was bitten by mosquitoes. Next day I got chill and fever. I consulted some doctor in my village who gave medicines for malaria without blood test but I did not get relief. I then consulted another doctor in a nearby town, who brought down the fever. Meanwhile I developed cold (Coryza) which is now over but I have severe dry and deep sounding cough hurting the head and chest.

O/E: Chest was found clear.

There was thick pale discharge from the posterior nares.

Patient was feeling weakness so he lied down on a bench, while I was preparing medicine for him.
Pulsatilla 10M-6 doses, TDS

Although I had planned blood test for ESR, Platelet count and HIV but it was ultimately decided that when the cough was over only then blood test to rule out HIV presence would be done.

01.06.93: The patient was expected to report on 17th or 18th May but he did not turn up. I anxiously waited for him. On 1-6-93 I went to his village to take his blood for tests. There I was informed by his wife and mother that Mr. A.S. had received his visa from a friend in Dubai a day after he had visited my clinic and since left for Dubai on 18th May. Till that day, there was no communication from him.

Comments:

Since there was no blood, mucus and loose motions, it can be concluded that the patient was completely cured of his HIV/AIDS state. This presumption is supported by the return of malarial fever which in fact had got suppressed at Dubai earlier.

As the patient had taken anti-malarial drugs despite my strict warning against taking allopathic medicines so long as homoeopathic medicines were available to him, I apprehended the false seropositivity i.e. HIV +ive, because of the possibility of presence of antibodies against malarial fever; had I referred the patient for HIV test as on 15.5.93 itself. It was, therefore, necessary to wait for some more days for these tests. Moreover the patient was suffering from severe cough and was given 2 days medicine with the hope that he would come and report, but he did not come at all.

Some may say that medicines were changed more frequently and even all the potencies of most of them were not tried. Here I would like to emphasise that none of the medicine was given without any basis. It is a well known fact that if homeopathic medicines are prescribed correctly whether in low or high potencies they show their effect very soon. I knew the patient might not wait for long if there was no improvement. Further he was expecting his visa from Dubai any time. Since he was jobless and also penniless, he was more worried for his earning than his disease. Once I dug him about the fatal outcome of the disease, he replied: What can else happen than that I will die. He once asked me to arrange for a certificate from some renowned doctor who could declare him HIV free so that he need not to undergo for blood test at Dubai and thus could stay there to earn his livelihood.

From the very beginning I was confident that bleeding per anus was either due to suppression of syphilitic chancre or malarial fever, or use of strong allopathic drugs. But I gave weightage to syphilis and penicillin as the causes behind HIV +vity. I was right in selecting syphilinum as an anti-syphilitic remedy according to the Prescriber by Dr. K.N. Mathur. But Syphilinum proved very weak anti-syphilitic medicine as compared to Aurum met.

I have been reading all these days about syphilis as the cause of HIV/AIDS. This case has really proved this fact and has cut the Gordian Knot for me and for many other homoeopathic doctors who have ventured in the treatment of AIDS patients. Here I would like to say that during my paper reading at Patiala on 18th April, 1993 on the subject AIDS can homoeopathy prevent it I had mentioned: The theory of virus as the cause of AIDS is an enigma. The day we are able to cut this Gordian Knot by finding the real cause, we shall be able to cure AIDS patients. Till then wait, watch and try to search the culprit. Had I known about the cure of this patient then, I would have termed syphilis as the real culprit in my above paper on the subject.

During treatment, especially at the fag end, when Aurum met was not given , I got puzzled on many occasions and I had to consult my colleagues. One of them suggested to try Sehgals method but no medicine corrobated all the mentals of the Sehgals School. When the patient did not respond to medicines, I did also think of the HIV to be the obstacle, because I presumed Syphilinum might have cleared syphilitic suppression. But I was wrong. I am now grateful to Aurum met which rescued me and cured the patient. Now I can claim to have cured HIV/AIDS patient. However, I am waiting for the day when I come across more HIV infected cases so that I could prove my claim of removing the HIV from the blood of these patients supported by clinical reports of blood tests.

CONCLUSION: Syphilis is in the background of HIV/AIDS.
