Evidence based practice (EBP) revolves around improved patient outcomes. Health professionals use the best evidence possible to make clinical decisions for individual patients. It involves complex and conscientious decision making based on the available evidence, and also on patient characteristics, situations, and preferences.
EBP recognizes that health care is individualized and ever changing. Finally, I would say EBP is the formalisation of the care process based on requirements of individual patient. This individualisation is practiced by homeopathic physicians for the last 200 years.
Homeopathy is a system of therapeutics founded in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann on the principle that “like cures like”. Homeopathy, since its inception, has been used to treat a wide range of illnesses based on individualisation or in a way EBP. Hahnemann was the first person who advocated this strongly.
The Indian Department of AYUSH (alternative systems) released a press note, on Sep. 2, suggesting use of Arsenic alba 30 one dose for three consecutive days as preventive for Swine flu.
It has the approval of Director General Health Services and Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. A group of experts was chaired by Dr. Diwan Harish Chand, vice president of governing body of CCRH.
This has come after a study by Experts of “Genus Epidemicus” (Common symptoms of suffering patients vis a vis the repetorised drug). In this study Arsenic alba covered 80% of the symptoms.
As per data from the AIDS Epidemic Update there are more people living with HIV than ever before as people are living longer due to the beneficial effects of antiretroviral therapy and population growth. However the number of AIDS-related deaths has declined by over 10% over the past five years as more people gained to access to the life saving treatment. UNAIDS and WHO estimate that since the availability of effective treatment in 1996, some 2.9 million lives have been saved.
I feel these encouraging results will keep the momentum to make this earth HIV free.

I believe, people who lead unhealthy lifestyles are more likely to suffer from different heart ailments and conditions than those who eat and drink sensibly, don’t smoke, and take regular exercise.
Diet, fruits and vegetables play a role in certain health disorders. Based on the totality of available evidence, antioxidants represent a possible way to reduce risks of heart disease. Although it remains unclear whether supplementation of diet with antioxidant vitamins will reduce risks of heart disease, most researchers agree that consumption of fruits and vegetables is an important part of a healthy diet.

As I mentioned in my analysis about H1N1 influenza and homeopathy, there was some SMS about influenzinum for swine flu or Influenza A H1N1 flu widely circulated in India last week. It created a sort of panic in public, and everyone started procuring it from homeopathic pharmacies. patients and friends started calling me to have more information on it. After my analysis, I had some reservations to recommend this in present scenario of H1N1.

What is H1N1 flu ?
H1N1 virus is a new type of Influenza virus affecting pigs, humans and maybe some other animals. Humans do not yet have herd immunity to it as they do to other types of flu viruses.
As we (people on this earth) have not developed the immunity against H1N1, it is spreading like wildfire and at a rate faster than any other virus epidemic.
