Case Study
A weak, thin (weighing 40 kgs), 22 year old female patient came for consultation on 20th June 2014. She complained of frequent loose stools for past 2 years. The girl had 7-8 kgs of weight loss in last couple of years and complained of extreme weakness. Other complaints were:
- Restlessness after eating.
- Pulsations and lot of abdominal discomfort after eating.
- Constant weight loss since 2 years.
- Poor appetite
Patient had consulted various gastroenterologists and underwent lots of investigations, but to no avail. She had constant abdominal discomfort, as a result of this harassing problem , she could not focus on her studies.
Physical generals of the patient: Poor appetite, Thirst was typical, she complained of dryness of mouth, but she use to drink small quantities of water at frequent intervals. Urine normal. Stools: variable, semisolid stools sometimes, unformed stools at other times. Thermal reaction was not marked.
Treatment History: Patient consulted leading gastroenterologist in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on 3-5-2013 and was prescribed Tab. Mobiz SR, Tab. Susfol 5 mg, She was advised Colonoscopy. Colonoscopy reports ( dated 4-5-2013, reports attached) gave impression of Normal study. She was diagnosed IBS.
She was unable to obtain relief and was very anxious. The patient consulted another leading gastroenterologist, was advised Duodenum Biopsy and was diagnosed CHRONIC NON-SPECIFIC DUODENITIS.( DATED-7-5-2013). The patient continued same treatment but she was not relieved of her complaints.
Next, the patient consulted Central Hospital ( on 11-3-2014), she was advised Tab Zorno , Tab Mebez ( for De-worming), Tab Drotin, Tab Beplex and Tab Cremalax. The poor patient continued this treatment in vain hope of relief for a fortnight. The inveterate harassing problem returned again in May 2014 and on 2nd may 2014, she revisited central Hospital. This time she was advised Tab Sinarest (anti allergic), Tab Zentel, Tab Aciloc ( antacid), Tab. Tazim O ( antibiotic), Tab Monteur and Tab. Folvite 5 mg. She was advised to stop milk intake.
The patient was greatly distressed by this time and was near hopeless.
Mental picture: Anxiety about disease was very much marked. She was so much scared about the complications of her disease that she was weeping while narrating her complaints.
The patient was beset with anxieties both reasonable and unreasonable, tangible and intangible, visible and hidden, about present and future.
The patient presented as an extremely anxious and frustrated individual. The unique feature of this patient’s anxiety was an INTENSE CONCERN ABOUT HEALTH. She regarded her illness with disproportionate dread, panicked at symptoms which others would ignore and as a result imagined that she had every disease she read about. She used to SURF THE INTERNET FOR HOURS TOGETHER AND GOOGLE HER SYMPTOMS, IMAGINING SHE HAD EVERY POSSIBLE DISEASE. She was driven to the point of despair.
The patient had visited many doctors, trying therapy after therapy, seeking both confirmation of the gravity of her complaint and REASSURANCE of its curability.
When airing her views on health and medicine, she talked excitedly about the wonderful insight she gained after consulting such and such website and pointed out a number of important problems that she never knew she had, until she read that stuff on the internet.
Rather than abating, this fear and anxiety crescendos as the patient read and collected all the health material from internet. She worked herself into intolerable and constant anxiety and great nervousness.
The patient was weeping with despair imagining that some deadly disease is lurking in the background, allowing her no peace what so ever.
The treatment of such cases require both homoeopathic medicine and psychotherapy of the patient. The patient and her father (her attendant) were strictly instructed that the girl was not supposed to read about any health stuff on the internet. She was absolutely refrained from reading about her disease which was acting like fresh fuel in the fire of her anxiety. She was counselled psychologically and encouraged to adopt a positive outlook towards life and her complaints as well.

The recurrence of nasal symptoms and abdominal discomfort indicated that psoric miasm is lurking in background and strongly allergic constitution. As allergy is an inherent reactive mechanism of the body to a variety of environment stimuli, it cannot be eradicated but can be altered and managed with homoeopathic medicines. The patient gains immunity in due course of time and able to develop disease resistance power with constitutional homoeopathic treatment.
