Death and Immortality
By Alok Pandey - Apr 24, 2012
But who can know death? The dead do not tell tales. And the living do not experience death. True we can know something about the process of death of the body. We can perhaps answer what happens to the body when someone dies. But can one know the state of one who has experienced death?
Clinical evaluation of Trombidium in amoebic dysentery
By Arun Bhasme - Apr 24, 2012
Amoebic dysentery is a common intestinal infection in the Indian context. While allopathic treatment is quite effective at controlling it in the acute stages, it is difficult to completely eradicate the organism from the intestine as it burrows deep inside, making it difficult for allopathic drugs to reach. In a first of its kind study, we find that the homoeopathic drug Trombidium is quite effective in treating the infection in the acute phase. This opens doors to further possibilities of experimenting with the efficacy of the drug in chronic amoebic colitis, especially since homoeopathic medication acts through other modalities than the conventional allopathic medication. Given the positive results of the study being presented here, we hope that further research will be undertaken along these lines in chronic conditions where there are very few options in modern medicine. What makes this study interesting though, is that stringent criteria consistent with the scientific temper of the times have been used in assessing the efficacy. This assuages the common charge levied against homoeopathic medicine by the allopaths that it is merely faith healing with little basis in scientific medicine!
