I would like to seek your help how to prevent us from H1N1 virus affecting us. Is Influezinum can be taken as preventive or any thing else. Need quick response.

		<description>Yes dr, rightly said that gelsemium is the perfect genus epidemicus for h1n1 fir pune city. Gelsemium is a more trusted remedy than influenzinum. It gives better results than Influenzinum.</description>

		<description>Dear Sir,

Concerning such endless discussion on Infleunzinum without homeopathic pathogenesy as biotherapic or Arsenicum album as homeopathic drug of choice for prevention and or treatment of Suine Flu nowadays..
I just question sincerely and pragmaticaly if a realistic homeopathic alternative should not be prescription of PSORINUM as homeopathic nosode in accordance with its large pathogenesis regarding Hahnemann provings and confirmed later by others top homepaths of the past on MMH.
Especialy on the treatment of organic post effects on patients suffering and on recovering of suine flu and etc...
Pls let me know your kind opinion and follow up concerning such same matter as well...</description>

		<description>Excellant work Dr. Singhal.
In my practise, Influenzium 30 as first remedy has worked wonders for sesonal flu. I tried it in ppl with h/o flu who were in close contact with suspected H1N1, and their flu subsided the very next day.
I would not suggest it as strong or only remedy for flu.</description>

		<description>I am interested in knowing what is the most appropriate homepathic medication for prevention of swine flu. From above comments it sounds like arsenicum album 200 could be used based on presenting symptoms. Would that be administered just once, and how many pellets?  I looked up the remedy online and boiron sells it at the dosage of 200. Is that the preparation that you would use. thank you.</description>

		<description>Interestingly there are number of influenzinum preparations . As with traditional medicine, the preparations are from prior flu seasons. Some of the Influenzinums marketed by Nelson&#039;s of London are as follows:

1. *Influenzinum (the 1918 epidemic) *
1. 2. Influenza virus A Asia /57
1. 3. Influenza virus A England 42/72
1. 4. Influenza virus B Hong Kong 5/72
1. 5. Influenza virus A/Port Chalmers 1/73
1. 6. Influenza virus A (Asian) 1954
1. 7. Influenza virus B (Asian) 1954
1. 8. Bacillus influenza 1918
1. 9. Influenza virus Az Hong Kong 1968
1. 10. Influenza virus Ar 1967
1. 11. Influenza virus B
1. 12. Influenza Co. (Combination of Az to 1918)
1. 13. Influenza virus a1. 
Hahnemann never recommended such type of specific uses of the drug. Instead of such uses he recommended Genus Epidemics . 
    &lt;blockquote&gt;As per the guidelines laid down by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in the Organon a Genus epidemics has to be found out in the specific area and it could be the best to be found out in the specific area and it could be the best prophylactic remedy.

        Source: ORGANON OF MEDICINE Aphorism 100-102

        § 100

        In investigating the totality of the symptoms of epidemic and sporadic diseases it is quite immaterial whether or not something similar has ever appeared in the world before under the same or any other name. The novelty or peculiarity of a disease of that kind makes no difference either in the mode of examining or of treating it, as the physician must any way regard to pure picture of every prevailing disease as if it were something new and unknown, and investigate it thoroughly for itself, if he desire to practice medicine in a real and radical manner, never substituting conjecture for actual observation, never taking for granted that the case of disease before him is already wholly or partially known, but always carefully examining it in all its phases; and this mode of procedure is all the more requisite in such cases, as a careful examination will show that every prevailing disease is in many respects a phenomenon of a unique character, differing vastly from all previous epidemics, to which certain names have been falsely applied – with the exception of those epidemics resulting from a contagious principle that always remains the same, such as smallpox, measles, etc.

        § 101

        It may easily happen that in the first case of an epidemic disease that presents itself to the physician’s notice he does not at once obtain a knowledge of its complete picture, as it is only by a close observation of several cases of every such collective disease that he can become conversant with the totality of its signs and symptoms. The carefully observing physician can, however, from the examination of even the first and second patients, often arrive so nearly at a knowledge of the true state as to have in his mind a characteristic portrait of it, and even to succeed in finding a suitable, homœopathically adapted remedy for it.

        § 102

        In the course of writing down the symptoms of several cases of this kind the sketch of the disease picture becomes ever more and more complete, not more spun out and verbose, but more significant (more characteristic), and including more of the peculiarities of this collective disease; on the one hand, the general symptoms (e.g., loss of appetite, sleeplessness, etc.) become precisely defined as to their peculiarities; and on the other, the more marked and special symptoms which are peculiar to but few diseases and of rarer occurrence, at least in the same combination, become prominent and constitute what is characteristic of this malady.1 All those affected with the disease prevailing at a given time have certainly contracted it from one and the same source and hence are suffering from the same disease; but the whole extent of such an epidemic disease and the totality of its symptoms (the knowledge whereof, which is essential for enabling us to choose the most suitable homœopathic remedy for this array of symptoms, is obtained by a complete survey of the morbid picture) cannot be learned from one single patient, but is only to be perfectly deduced (abstracted) and ascertained from the sufferings of several patients of different constitutions.

        1 The physician who has already, in the first cases, been able to choose a remedy approximating to the homœopathic specific, will, from the subsequence cases, be enabled either to verify the suitableness of the medicine chosen, or to discover a more appropriate, the most appropriate homœopathic remedy.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Dear Dr.Singhal,

Would like to be updated if you have any data/evidence for the following statements of yours in your H1N1 write up

1) it is spreading like wildfire and at a rate faster than any other virus epidemic.

 2) At present, it is a very low mortality viral infection and the risk of death (in kids who have low immunity, and adults at old age especially when weakened by diabetes or other debilitating disorders) -- If you look up the CDC data on this, this Novel H1N1 influenza as it is termed is different from the common place influenzas in that for some reason there dont seem to be as many deaths in people above 65 years as otherwise expected
 

3) The main worry is that the next mutated form of this virus, expected within a year -- is there any prediction for this time frame ?

As regards the possible remedy for this -- i think using the common rubrics that have been used for repertorisation will only through up polychrest remedies as seen -- ideally individual experience with actual cases of H1N1 will help us better in suggesting remedy.

Would like to know your thoughts on the above</description>
