Dear Doctor,

I am addicted for masterburation can you prescribe medicine to stop this habit

Answer

You have not mentioned your age and sex. It's Normal, Healthy and Okay to Masturbate!

Masturbation is a healthy sexual behavior. Like other behaviors, when over practiced or addicted it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances.

Masturbation can be defined as self-stimulation to cause sexual sensations. The use of the word masturbation usually suggests that the person is manipulating his or her genitals to the point of intense pleasure or orgasm. (Orgasm refers to a period of intense excitement in which genital muscles enter in to a series of highly-pleasurable contractions or movements).

While masturbation can involve another person, most of us think of it as a very private act. According to some health care providers masturbation allows a healthy way to express & explore your sexuality and to release sexual tension without all the associated risks of sexual intercourse. Health professionals generally agree that this private touching is a natural, normal mode of self-exploration and sexual expression. Unfortunately, after the excitement of the moment has passed, many people find themselves filled with guilty and or shame.

The Truth?
Most surveys in USA suggest that approximately 94% of teenage males "admitted" that they masturbated and about 70% of teen females "admitted" to this also. It’s always hard to establish absolute truth in any survey on sexuality and sexual behavior, since they are influenced so much by what people think is "normal". It is important to note the word "admitted" in the results of these surveys. Doesn't that word imply something shameful about the act of masturbating? We think so. This leads us to believe that we are still suffering from the residual Victorian morals when boys and girls were discouraged from masturbating.

Masturbation Myths :
"Masturbation isn't "real sex" and only losers masturbate." Just not true. According to some sexuality experts people who masturbate tend to function better sexually when with a partner since they know their own body and have fulfilled sexual expression.

If you masturbate you will go blind or bald or get acne or hair on your hands -- or lots of other anomalies. None of these have any basis in truth.

People in relationships or married don't masturbate.
Wrong again. (Many couples masturbate mutually).

"Masturbation will stunt your growth"
Nice try, but wrong again.

“If you masturbate you'll never be able to have children” I get this question from youngsters often, and before their marriage. This is just not true, who started this myth? If that was true none of us would be on this planet.

“Can masturbation hurt me?” If you are spending a lot of your time masturbating and it is interfering with your school work, your job, or the rest of your life, then you might want to stop and think about why you are doing it so much. A person can become obsessed with anything.

Fatal Consequences of Excessive Masturbation
Frequent masturbation and ejaculation stimulate acetylcholine/parasympathetic nervous functions excessively, resulting in the over production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. Abundant and unusually amount of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and turn the brain and body functions to be extremely sympathetic. In other words, there is a big change of body chemistry when one excessively pratices masturbation.

The side effects of such changes to the body include:
Fatigue. Feeling tired all the time
Lower back painStress / Anxiety
Thinning hair / Hair Loss
Soft / Weak Erection
Premature Ejaculation
Eye floaters or fuzzy vision
Groin / Testicular Pain
Pain or cramp in the pelvic cavity or/and tail bone

I do not think you will ask for the medicine for masturbation again as there is none.

Dear Doctor,

I am having pain in my body from my top to bottom. and back pain some time my palm and knee having very shoot pain and I could not step up staircases. recently I saw a allopathy doc. he told me that I am having problem in my back spinal cord which is splited that's why I am ailing with pain in my body. is it correct and can you priscribe some medicine?

Answer

You have to write your mri report and also the blood report, then only we can say why you have these pains. If you have not done any blood tests then you should do the following: CBC, RA FACTOR, SERUM URIC ACID AND THYROID FUNCTIONS.

A medicine in Homoeopathy can be suggested only after a detail case taking and keeping the tests in context. You should have a consultation with a qualified Homoeopath after you get these reports.

Dear Doctor,

Dear doctor, I have severe hairless. Once I used Arnica plus hair oil which comes along with tablets. And it did wonders to me. I used it for 3 months, the 4th month when I asked the pharmacist for the same he gave me the oil and the tablets but the tablets size was bigger than before. During that time my thinking was homeopathy medicines will usually be very smaller in size than the allopathic medicines. So I stopped using it. Years had passed now recently i have severe hair loss. I was reminded of Arnica and I asked my brother to get it from Chennai and courier it to me as I am now residing in Saudi Arabia. Instead of Arnica Plus he had sent Arnica Montana Oil with AJC (Arnica, Jaborandi, Calendula). Also it contains china officinalis and cantharis. The tablets named as scalptone contains acidium fluoricum 30, acidum phosphoricum 30, natrum muriaticum 30, arsenicum album 30, calcarea phosphorica 30, badiaga 30 in equal proportion excipients q.s. to 1 tablet of 100mg. My question is whether arnica plus which I took before is similar to the one which have now i.e.. arnica montana. Also can I take the tablets as I am now on allopathy medications to conceive. Or should I ask my brother to get the same Arnica plus hair oil. what is your suggestion. Please let me know. Thank You for sparing your auspicious time.

Answer

Arnica montana works equally well as Plus. Scalptone addresses any illness of the scalp. If you have only hairfall and no itching or Dandruff you use only the oil.

Dear Doctor,

I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease 11 years ago. The tumor was located on my thyroid gland. Half was removed, the other half had radiation treatment and no longer functions. I have been on synthyroid for almost 10 years and feel no major difference when I take it. I still am tired and get chills and find it difficult to lose weight. I am not overweight, but would like to lose 10-15 pounds. I work out M-F doing cardio and weights and have not lost a single pound since January. What can I take to help me with this situation? Oh! I am 40 years old.

Answer

you will have to continue with synthyroid as it is an important hormone required by the body for metabolic functions and your thyroid gland is not making it for the obvious reasons.
A corrctly selected Homoeopathic medicine on your constitution will take care of the persistent symptoms which you are having in spite of thyroxine supplement and for this you have to consult a qualified Homoeopath to do a case taking and select a remedy for you as a whole(not just a few symptoms). There is no medicine to be given only for losing weight and the cause of it should be treated.

Dear Doctor,

I read your article in which you suggest that Homopathy has effective cure against viral fever. normally in allopathy, doctors. suggest strong antibiotics.is homopathy able to cure this aliment with those small pills.

Answer

I think you are very much misinformed as antibiotics have no role in and are never prescribed for viral fevers but only if a super added bacterial infection is there. This has been mentioned in many articles in the newspapers also. As far as Homoeopathy is concerned it is not a disease but the diseased, that is the patient as a whole, is treated. Conditions like viral fevers are treated as acute illness and definitely show a very fast and prompt relief in the complaints with a feeling of wellbeing in the patient coming with the first few doses only provided the medicine is selected correctly on the basis of acute illness. My own experience shows an 80 to 90 percent of patients getting relief in the first few days of treatment. Definitely the small sweet pills work like magic but the Homoeopath should know how to select the right one.

Dear Doctor,

I have to go away to France in a couple of weeks with a group. I am taking arnica with me, but wondered if you could recommend a remedy for headaches/migraines and tummy upsets, both with or without vomiting and diarrhoea or both.

Answer

Actually Homoeopathic treatment is individually selected for the totality of symptoms present during an allness and a medicine given for a patient's Diarrhoea may not work for another's if the symptoms are even a little different. There are certain medicines used as specifics for certain complaints and that includes Arnica for mechanical Injuries to soft tissues. Similarly Arsenicum Album in 6 or 30 potency is specific for Vomitings due to food poisonings.For Headaches and Diarrhoea you have to be prescribed according to the symptoms present during the episode or your treating physician can prescribe a specific for you since he knows the symptoms you usually have during an acute episode.

Answer

You have to consult your Doctor for a thorough check-up to find out the cause of your raised ESR and pains.
No medicine in Homoeopathy can be prescribed on just a few symptoms and you need a full case taking to find out which medicine is indicated for your complaints. Please donot take any mother tincture of your own without consulting your Homoeopath.

Dear Doctor,

When I did my medical checkup, I found that my Triglyceride level is 231. Kindly advise how to reduce this level by homeopathy.
My weight is 77kgs,
My BP is normal,
My Cholesterol is also normal.

Answer

What are triglycerides?
Triglycerides are the chemical form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body. They're also present in blood plasma and, in association with cholesterol , form the plasma lipids. 

Triglycerides in plasma are derived from fats eaten in foods or made in the body from other energy sources like carbohydrates. Calories ingested in a meal and not used immediately by tissues are converted to triglycerides and transported to fat cells to be stored. Hormones regulate the release of triglycerides from fat tissue so they meet the body's needs for energy between meals. 
How is an excess of triglycerides harmful?
Excess triglycerides in plasma is called hypertriglyceridemia . It's linked to the occurrence of coronary artery disease in some people. Elevated triglycerides may be a consequence of other disease, such as untreated diabetes mellitus . Like cholesterol, increases in triglyceride levels can be detected by plasma measurements. These measurements should be made after an overnight food and alcohol fast. 

Normal triglycerides
Less than 200 mg/dL

Borderline-high triglycerides
200 to 400 mg/dL

High triglycerides
400 to 1000 mg/dL

Very high triglycerides
Greater than 1000 mg/dL

These are based on fasting plasma triglyceride levels.

Dietary treatment goals

Changes in life habits are the main therapy for hypertriglyceridemia. These are the changes you need to make: 

If you're overweight, cut down on calories to reach your ideal body weight. This includes all sources of calories, from fats, proteins, carbohydrates and alcohol. 
Reduce the saturated fat and cholesterol content of your diet. 
Reduce your intake of alcohol considerably. Even small amounts of alcohol can lead to large changes in plasma triglyceride levels. 
Start and stick to a regular exercise program. 
People with high triglycerides may need to substitute monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats instead of carbohydrates for saturated fats. Carbohydrates raise triglyceride levels and decrease HDL ("good") cholesterol. 
Because other risk factors for coronary artery disease multiply the hazard from hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure and cigarette smoking should be controlled. 

Homoeapathic Medicine

Medicine called Crateagus Mother tincture ( Q ) in 15 drops doses taken thrice a day after each meal has found to be very effective in reducinf the triglycerides level without any side effects. Before stsrting any Homoeopathic medicine take advise of your Homoeopath regarding treating you constitutionally for any other illness you may be having.
