In a recently completed study, Dr Edward Chapman of Boston?s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital demonstrated that homeopathy significantly lessens the symptoms and improves the functioning of individuals with mild chronic head injury.
For what is now backed up by research are what homeopathy, for the last two centuries, have been trying to advocate ? that neurological problems arising out of injuries, either recent or remote, can be effectively treated with homeopathy. Not only does homeopathy help in treating the long-term effects of injury, but also it can help in stopping internal hemorrhage (bleeding) if the injury is fresh. It can also reduce swelling in the brain.
Assault on the head
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a term used to describe a sudden physical assault on the head that causes damage to the brain. It occurs in two types: closed and penetrating. A closed head injury occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, but the object does not break through the skull (e.g. head hitting the dashboard in a car accident). A penetrating type is like a gun shot wound.
An injury can also occur in response to the shaking of the brain within the confines of the skull, an injury called “countercoup”. Shaken baby syndrome is a kind of a countercoup injury that is caused when the baby is violently shaken and the brain sustains injury due to the sudden violent shaking.
What kind of damage occurs?
As brain controls the whole body functions, the possibility of the damage that it can cause engulfs a wide spectrum of disabilities. Loss of consciousness, loss of motor power and/or sensation, loss or decrease in one?s cognitive abilities (the process of knowing in the broadest sense, including perception, memory and judgment) and loss or decrease in one?s speech, swallowing, etc, are usually the most common ones.
The impact of the injury causes the brain to move back and forth against the inside of the bony skull. The frontal (front) and temporal (side) lobes of the brain, the major speech and language areas often receive the most damage in this way because they sit in pockets of the skull that allow more room for the brain to shift and sustain injury. Because these major speech and language areas often receive damage, communication difficulties frequently occur following closed head injuries.
It is often very difficult to predict the damage or the nature of the damage in the first week, as the freshly injured brain undergoes swelling and bruising, and it is only after the swelling has subsided that the real residual abnormalities are detected.
The wonder of arnica lies in treating brain injuries, recent or remote, in the most natural and effective way. It is more of a head injury panacea. It helps in first controlling the bleeding in the brain and also in reducing the swelling in the brain. It has been found useful when years after the brain injury, symptoms related to it start appearing.
Neurological effects of injuries
The degree to which a homeopath can help is governed by two factors: by the extent of the damage , and the function of the brain that has been compromised.
Although quite a few of the effects can be handled by Arnica alone, the residual abnormalities do have a wide range. Homoeopathy has in its repository other effective medicines that are specific to certain conditions that arise from brain injuries. For example, there are separate groups of medicines for epilepsy, paralysis, memory and speech loss, etc, occurring after brain injury.

we are really worried that we may be too late as her development was affected.
My dog had an epilepsy attack almost a month back, she was treat by a veterinary clinic, she has come out of the epilepsy but has lost her memory she does not respond when we call her name.
All that she know is to eat, her sense of smell is good so the minute she get the smell of food she comes to us, otherwise she seems to be a bit scared.
She is 3 years old

Dear Dr.Sharma,
My father who is 80 years old this year has been diagnosed with vascular dementia. At the initial stages, he was diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s. An MRI was done and this showed that he had had several silent strokes. He complains of feeling weak and lies down all the time. He is not independent-has to be bathed, washed up etc. Can homeopathy help him to regain his strength and memory?
Thank you.

My son suffered severe brain lesions after a car accident when he was 7 years old. 6 weeks in a coma, and many lesions later he still managed a doctorate in engineering but still has slowed motor functions, slurred speech and slowed down mental functions. He realizes , now at 33 years old, that he finds it difficult to keep a job, very disadvantaged compared to the others. Could homeopathy still help him? And, if so, what remedy and what dilution? Could LM potecies help him?
Would be grateful for a reply.

Dear Sir,
I would be most grateful if you advise me regarding my dads health for further homeopathy treatment.
My dad had brain stroke on 06/03/2013 as it was undiagnosed he has been taken to neurological care and CT scan was taken on 08/03/2013 which showed midline shift of 10mm.
On 09/03/2013 his skull was opened as a life saving operation then we have been told that his entire left side of brain is affected there are less chances of speech to come back. The recovery was alright after 2 weeks of craniotomy and he was under physiotherapy two times a daywhich definitely showed movement of right leg and hand . After 4 weeks of operation, they tried to remove tracheostomy tube and he couldnt cope so they did second tracheostomy on 06/04/2013 .
Now he is on tracheostomy tube with constant suctioning and nasogastric tube feeding not opening his eyes. Once in awhile he opens his eyes and gets his hand to obstruct the treatment by doctor.We have hopes that he will recover but doctors told they are less chances of survival.
We believe in homeopathy and if you can please advice whether we can do homeopathy for my dad.
In that case PLEASE let me know the details like cost of treatment ,time period ,how to start?would you like to see the patient/is there any possibility if we can send the reports so that you can see them and start with treatment.
Thanking you,
Kind Regards,
Siva
