Although symptoms assosiated with Covid appears to be diverse, it seems that most of the main complaints are centered to female reproducive organs, thrombolythic disorders, myocardial affections and pulmonary/erythropathic disorders as well as neurological symptoms. Do you think Lachesis should be considered one of the main remedies in the homepathic treatment of Covid, of course prescribed on an individual basic?
Lachesis is a good choice mixed at low potency mixed with colliodal silver. Lachesis blocks the receptor making the cell invulnerable to the virus. Cost effective prophylaxis

Our Son suffers from schizophrenia and persucutory dilusional thinking. He is currently on anti-psychotic medication which does not really work and which has significant negative side effects. We are wondering if Lachesis might work for him. He is 23 and is overweight at about 260 pounds. We would appreciate your thoughts.
Respected doctor, what is the dose of lachesis for schizophrenia, is there any side effects
Hello Dr Sharma. I am one that suffers from sleep disruption. most evenings I can fall asleep with a magnesium supp but wake during the night and cannot get back to sleep. Can you advise on what I can do to assist myself?
Thank you, Ellen
I’m treating my cat who has congestive heart failure along with kidney enlargement. I consulted a vet homeopath. Based on that my cat got Crataegus 6c and Lachesis 30c, twice a day for about 2 months. He has recently gotten worse, with fluid accumulating in his abdomen and fast breathing. Because he was also hot, the vet stopped the Lachesis 30c and recommended Lachesis 1M twice a day until a good effect is seen.
Is this too much? Also, should my cat be taking a higher potency of Crataegus, since the heart failure is new as of this past May?
Thank you.
I was watching American Experience: Influenza 1918 : chapter 1……it said the soldiers with flu/pneumonia had a blue cast to their face, would Lachesis have been a good choice? I know that Gelsemium had great success.
On you tube video one homeopathy doctor has advised (for blood pressure control)to take Lachesis 1M 2 drops once in a month along with Raulfia Serpentina,Crategeous and Pasciflora (All mother tinctures)
