The Dream Vaccine?

Works against all corona viruses. Let's hope (pray, if that's your thing) that this one proves to be effective and safe!

COVID-19: Cambridge University working on a vaccine which can fight all coronaviruses.

What's the story on the Homeo medicine Arsenic Album 30?

https://www.newindianexpress.com/cit...d-2180143.html

My uncle is trumpeting the benefits of this medicine based on the news article linked above. I find it weird that for a medicine that has claimed to have such effectiveness no other media has covered that story.

And now he's asking all our company employees to take it...

All my doctor friends say it's hogwash and i have been no fan of Homeo. Just wanted some clarity

[Thad E Ginathom]

As long as it is not used as an excuse to avoid necessary conventional treatment, and is hygienically prepared, the worst a homeopathic medicine can do is... nothing. Because that, apart from the sugar pill or water, is all that is in the bottle: zero molecules of the named substance.

Just don't rely on it, or allow it to induce overconfidence or avoidance of precautions.

We're on the second course of this homeo medicine. It was distributed in our community


Case 1: My sister in law contracted the virus from her office. Around 9 people were infected totally. Most of them had obvious symptoms. She had a small fever for a day and it subsided. No symptoms after that. She was diagnosed positive after a week of the symptoms because her workplace deemed it compulsory to test for all staff. We didn't realise it was the virus because it subsided within a week. My brother was not affected although he was with her the whole time. He tested himself after 2 weeks. Mind you, both of them are busy professionals and often have junk food with messed up schedules.

Case 2: A doctor I know who was in the frontline was expected to stay in a seperate quarters. His roommate tested positive. His results were negative.

Case 3: A bachelor I know also had several of his roommates tested positive. He tested negative.

All these 3 individuals had taken this medicine. But it might be pure luck too. We can only thank God though.

At the end of the day, it's your call. It hasn't affected us in any negative way. Ensure you follow the instructions properly if you plan to try.

This was our first line of defence against corona along with influenzium. Our employer provided us with these medicines with dosage of 2 days a week. But alas it couldn't prevent corona from attacking me. The only positive aspect of this medicine is that it won't have any side effects as it's homeopath. So you can start with these medicines along with other precautions.

That's some positive news. Hope it is the effect of arsenic album 30. Can you share what dose they are following and since when they are taking this medicine? The medicines are over in my home and i am thinking of ordering another one. But was wondering if continued use of arsenic album 30 may harm in the long run or not.

Case 1 was having the medicine when she contracted the virus. Case 2 and 3 was last week which is atleast 1 month after finishing the course.

The dosage depends on the concentration. It'll be best to ask the guy selling it ( Yes, I know it's funny). Anyway you'll have to take it in empty stomach in the morning. Can't eat anything for 30-45 mins after that.

We started the second course after 1.5 months. They say you can take it again. But again this is homeo. No specific instructions as such. Not planning to over do it either.

I've always had this doubt - what if the homeo meds have some steeroid (for example), which may be good for the immediate problem but harmful in the long run?

Isn't Arsenic bad for your body, being a heavy metal. How is this homeo medicine even being allowed to sell in that case ?

There won't even be a molecular trace of arsenic by the time it is diluted to the concentrations it claims to be diluted. Sugar pills and alcoholic tincture regardless of whatever medicine they claim is mixed into it, that's all.

We are straying offtopic, but here is another caveat of homeopathic medicine that I should have included in my previous post: proper preparation. There have been instances in America (last year? fairly recently) of an over-the-counter, mass-produced "homeopathic" gel for baby teething problems containing not homeo-no-trace, but actual quantity of a poison.

I was using a homeopathic eye drop as an eye wash, on the grounds that it would, at least, be sterile water. My eye doctor told me not to: he said that we cannot rely on that.

Enough from me on homeopathy, in which I sort-of do/don't believe.

My tryst with Coronavirus:

So finally caught the bandwagon of Covid infected some days back. Me, my better half and few of my friends caught the virus from the same source. We came to know when the source tested positive and symptoms started appearing in few of us.

Two of my friends had fever, body pain, some dry cough and two of them and my better half had light fever and loss of taste and smell. Me and another friend had no symptoms at all but for the safe side, we both considered ourselves as asymptomatic positive. We did not go for the testing and chose to isolate ourselves and opted for quarantining ourselves at home.

Few of my doctor friends were in touch and they also were in agreement with our decision. Since I had no symptoms at all, I stayed put inside our house for around seven days and only after ninth day, I went out to shop for some groceries and daily needs. Rest of the friends completed fourteen days inside and by then, all the symptoms were gone. They were all back to their form and have resumed their normal lives. Few takeaways-

1. All throughout everyone except me took only Paracetamol for around 4-5 days, mainly for fever and body pain. No other medicines were taken at all. We all ate well and some did take the steam therapy and gargle for the sore throats and cough.

2. Loss of taste and smell along with body pain is a definite symptom of Covid and should be taken as such although viral fevers also sometimes have the same !

3. Since I did not have any symptoms, I would like to believe that my immune system worked better or may be I was not infected at all which I think is blasphemous

4. All throughout, right from the very beginning I was prepared for the virus without getting paranoid and now I would certainly like to think that the importance of wearing masks( while in closed environment and where social distancing is not possible) and washing hands cannot be stated more. We all got infected not by touching or eating anything but by in close contact with the source without mask in a closed environment.

5. I was doing everything maintaining basic precautions and I would like to think I did good because I never caught the virus from eating outside( even a roadside Dhaba) or staying in a homestay or touching the seats available in the waiting arena of a Covid Hospital. These all are my personal observations and there is no study behind it

6. We have all came out of the situation and would like to believe that the paranoia around the virus needs to go and only the safety precautions needs to be taken seriously.

Some information here as well and this came today morning :

Glad you and you companions are ok now. To self-isolate, as you all did, was the best possible self-discipline, and if all could have done the same, the virus would have more problem and we humans would have less. I respect your actions. No paranoia, but taking care and proper precautions to prevent spread to others. Also no overloading hospitals when symptoms are only mild.

First of all happy to hear that all of you have recovered. This way of self isolation is the best action when the symptoms are mild. Kudos to you all.

Just one lingering doubt I have is about how to ensure you all are covid negative now. Did you all take tests after recovering to make sure you all are negative?
