A proposal for efficient rapid control of the Ebola hemorrhagic fever

A major catastrophe hit Western Africa and we would like to put a definite end to that nightmare. Ever since in its initial identification in 1976, the Ebola virus is endemic in Zaire (currently, Democratic Republic of the Congo – DRC), where it has exerted devastating effects. For many years now, the virus has mercilessly attacked our fellow men, killing entire families overnight and leaving thousands of children orphan.The current, being the seventh epidemic of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) in the RDC, also broke out in West Africa - Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone Nigeria and Senegal.The World Health Organization (WHO) called specialists from several countries and concentrated efforts that might result in a practical contribution to the control of cases. It is worth to observe that the epidemic has caused more than 1,400 deaths in 2014, being the fatality rate 60 to 90%.(AU)

A homeopatia e o cólera morbus / Homeopathy and colera morbus

Esta monografia apresenta a evolução dos conhecimentos sobre o cólera desde o século passado até os dias de hoje. O texto relata as fases evolutivas da doença e descreve o uso dos medicamentos homeopáticos em seu tratamento e profilaxia, os quais se mostraram extremamente eficazes nas epidemias do século passado, proporcionando uma redução substancial de vítimas fatais. Um estudo com 102 pacientes tratados com homeopatiaprovou a eficácia do tratamento, a necessidade capital de iniciar-se o tratamento o mais precocemente possível e a estreita ligação entre condições de vida precárias e um rápido agravamento do quadro da doença (AU)

No se evidenciaron diferencias relevantes en los aspectos explorados entre los pacientes urbanos y rurales

Homoeopathy in the treatment of haemophilia

Six patients with haemophilia were treated with homoeopathic medicines. A rational attempt has been made to improve their general health, cope with side effects of Factor VIII, cut down the bleeding episodes and reduce the amount of Factor VIII needed.

Each patient treated has had aspects of his health improved, and the overall impression is that less Factor VIII was needed
