Good results

After Moshi we arrive back in Dar. I have 8 follow ups to see, patients that I have prescribed for four weeks ago, when I first arrived. I am a bit nervous; this is the first test, will my prescriptions work?

Well, they did. They worked great! Both Sigs and I are impressed and happy. For people who are very sick and taking heavy ARV medication, the results are impressive. In particular case 101, the first case I saw when I arrived. She feels that the ARVs are poisoning her, and claims that she feels worse in many ways since taking them; she had been vomiting continuously for months, which began soon after the drugs. Her relatives are very worried about this. There was a long list of symptoms: Chest pain, fullness in the stomach, dark brown urine. She is very weak, and has heaviness in the legs. She suffers from bad dreams, has a sense of failure and is constantly angry. She sleeps poorly. Before the ARVs she had a CD4 of 137. We don't have a CD4 now (the lab was not yet set up when we took this case), but her poor health indicates a low count.

Immediately after the remedy her vomiting increased, which lasted for 3 days. She went to hospital and they couldn't find anything wrong, but thought it may be malaria or typhus.

Three weeks after the remedy she is feeling better then she has for a long time. Her energy is vastly improved, and she can walk long distances. Legs are better, sleeping well, glands down, stomach better, urine clear, dreams gone, no vomiting. She is feeling much happier in herself. But here is the real surprise: her CD4 count this week has gone up to a massive 1430! That is beyond healthy. What a shame we didn't have the initial count, so I am NOT claiming the the amazing CD4 count is a result of homoeoapthy, but the general improvement certainly is.

Everyone else, bar one, is doing very well. CD4 counts are up, energy improved, symptoms much reduced, feeling happier and more vital.
Thank God for homoeopathy!
