“…Evidence of its power to control acute and intense fevers, 30 which are characteristic events of myiasis caused by C. hominivorax , reinforces the potential of Pyrogenium for treating this clinical condition. There is also its anti-bacterial power, 31 which is of great interest in this veterinary clinical context, since bacterial contamination is always a serious risk to an animal's health because these are open and very bloody wounds.…”

Background Myiasis by Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a serious problem in animal health in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Ointment-type preparations are a good option of formulation in cases of myiasis in farm and pet animals. Sulphur and Pyrogenium have already shown in-vitro efficacy on C. hominivorax. This article describes an in-vitro experiment to test the inhibition of development from exposing larvae of C. hominivorax to two homeopathic ointments (prepared individually with Sulphur or Pyrogenium). Methods The homeopathic ointments were produced by mixing sterile lanolin, tocopherol and homeopathic medicine on a hydroalcoholic basis according to the Brazilian Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. Larvae were obtained from naturally occurring myiases in sheep (wild larvae) or from a laboratory colony. The test consisted of exposing a group of 10 third-stage C. hominivorax wild larvae in contact with Sulphur or Pyrogenium ointment, or a group of 15 laboratory-propagated larvae in contact with the alcoholic vehicle of the ointment or homeopathic medicines prepared in sterile water (Sulphur or Pyrogenium), and observing the effect on the development, longevity and fertility of the blow-fly specimens. Results The C. hominivorax larval inhibition rate was 90.0% for the Sulphur ointment group and was 86.0% for the Pyrogenium ointment group. The non-alcoholic vehicle and the alcoholic vehicle inhibited the development of 24.0% and 22.08% of the larvae respectively. Sulphur prepared in sterile water inhibited the development of 74.67% and Pyrogenium in sterile water inhibited 73.33% of larvae. Specimens that survived contact with homeopathic ointments had their longevity decreased and did not reproduce. Conclusion Ointments of Sulphur or Pyrogenium were able to inhibit the development of C. hominivorax larvae. The ointment vehicle was harmless.

“…Baker's yeast fever model supports its clinical use in high fever cases with assured results. 14 16 During high fever, his blood sugar and BP shot up as GRBS-350 mg and BP as 180/110 mm Hg. At that time, Allium sativa Q 15 gtt in 1z water BD was given for 2 days, and an anti-syphilitic drug, Syphilinum 200, was used as an intercurrent to address the predominant syphilitic miasm in the case and to reduce the craving for alcohol.…”

Myositis is an infectious disease that affects skeletal muscle and may appear as a diffuse inflammation or a rapidly progressive myonecrotic process that often results in abscess development. It is most common in thigh muscles. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common microorganism, accounting for 90% of cases. Pyomyositis diagnosis can be challenging due to neglect of initial symptoms, and usually presents with fever and muscle pain. Standard antibiotic treatment is the mainstay. However, it can be effectively treated with homoeopathic medicines by considering local pathology and other individualised characteristics. A 58-year-old male patient consulted with a non-healing abscess of myositis with multi-morbid conditions. Initially treated in outpatient department without any positive change, he was later admitted to inpatient department of National Homoeopathy Research Institute in Mental Health, Kottayam, and treated for 45 days. Merc. sol. 0/1 was given as the first prescription and repeated as required in the follow-up visits. Syphilinum 200 was given as an intercurrent remedy to address predominant syphilitic miasm. Abscess of myositis was cured, and diabetes and hypertension were under control. There was an improvement in sensorineural deafness in both ears, and his craving for alcohol was also reduced. The changes in outcome and causal attribution were assessed using the Modified Naranjo Criteria. The score was +9, close to the maximum (13), showing positive relationship between homoeopathic intervention and the outcome. This case proves the positive role of homoeopathic medicines intervention in treating non-healing abscess of myositis associated with multimorbidities.

The aim of this study was to determine whether a combination of seaweed flour (Lithothamnium calcareum) and a homeopathic added to broiler feed has a hepatoprotective effect capable of minimizing the negative impacts of aflatoxin B1 toxicosis. We used birds one day divided into four groups with six repetitions per group and 20 birds per repetition in a completely randomized design. The combination of seaweed flour + homeopathic product was identified as the test product (TP). The groups were identified as PC: intake of 300 µg/kg of AFB1 (positive control); PC+TP: intake of 300 µg/kg of AFB1 + 2 g/kg of TP; NC: birds that received control feed; and TP: supplemented with 2 g/kg TP. The birds in the PC+TP, NC and TP groups had the higher body weights on days 35 and 42 days than in the PC group. This same effect was also observed for daily weight gain and feed conversion for 1–42 days. A higher villus: crypt relationship was observed in PC + TP, NC and TP compared to PC. The seaweed flour combined with the TP minimizes the negative effects of AFB1 on the liver health of broilers and consequently avoids losses in zootechnical performance.
