Kathryn Purvis, ND1,a; Jamie Oskin, ND1,b; Jeffrey Langland, PhD1,2,c
Abstract: An eleven-year-old male presented to the clinic with fever, cough and rash. He was diagnosed with an acute Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis) infection with erythema multiforme and was successfully treated with a homoeopathic medicine using Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocketbook (1) method. This case illustrates the effectiveness of homoeopathy for these fungal infections as well as the efficiency of utilizing Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocketbook method, using TBR2 (2), the most accurate English translation of the Therapeutisches Taschenbuch [TT].
A Case of Vitritis, Iritis-Panuveitis, and Retinal Hemorrhage – Ronald D. Whitmont, MD
Abstract: A 70-year-old-male with sudden onset of vitritis, iritis-panuveitis and retinal hemorrhage was successfully treated with the homeopathic medicine Belladonna after treatment failed with corticosteroid drops. The condition responded rapidly and permanently with progressive resolution following administration of a single dose of Belladonna 200c. Homeopathy helps speed resolution of many acute ophthalmic conditions, particularly when prescribed according to the doctrine of similars. (1)
