Thanks sir for your reply and valuable time. I am answering to your further asked questions below. In the first post also, I have tried to give you complete information of medical history and symptoms too.

# In animals and insects, I am scared of dogs only. Besides this I am fearful of ghosts and dark and lonely places. In spite of the fear I strongly like horror movies(watching alone).

1.How was jaundice treated.
Ans. As you read my first post, I have consulted various doctors for the treatment of jaundice. But it was of little help(sometimes bilrubin level was down then again it came up after some time). I was feeling ok for the whole period. My appetite was good, was feeling active and not tired. Later one Doctor after lots of diagnostic tests, told that 'you have a condition in which your bilrubin count will be high only, But you are normal with this'(S. Bilrubin is in range of 1.9 to 2.5), SGPT is always in 28 to 44 range only). SO I stopped taking medicines of jaundice. In this whole period I was suffering from alopecia too.

2. Urine smell?
Ans. It is odorless. I have not felt any peculiar smell till now.

3. Constipation details?
Ans. I go to toilet after waking up(10 AM) everyday. The minute I sit on the toilet seat almost all stool is released. but I feel like a little more is inside. and just a little comes after some time. I don't apply a lot of pressure for it to release. So all of this takes 10 to at max 15(sometimes only) minutes.

4.How is the white portion of your eyes, white or yellow.
Ans. It is white but with a little tinge of yellowness. It is much less yellowish than people with jaundiced eyes. on a scale of 1 to 5, I have 2 scale yellowness.

Mine thyroid, Hepatitis B and Ultrasound tests are negative.

Thanks again sir. As you can understand the graveness of my problem, please suggest me some cure soon. My primary concern is to get the cure of this primary cicatricial alopecia problem. So before other diseases, pleases suggest a medicine for the alopecia.
Thanks.

Dear Sir,
As directed by you I took liquid dose of Phosphorus 200c.
1st dose on 18th Feb night and
2nd dose on 19th Feb morning with 12 hours gap.
You asked me to report back after 5 days with changes observed. I am mentioning these changes below:
1. Thirst: my thirst has risen. Just 1-2 hours after drinking water I start feeling as if my throat has become very dry may be due to thirst and then I feel relaxed after drinking some water.

2. Falling hair: hair fall has been constant, but still it is very depressing to see so many as 10-15 hairs in comb, 10-15 after shampoo. I think maybe there is a 10% reduction in fallen hairs on pillow cover after sleep.

3. Stress: hairs are falling now also, but I feel like I am not being able to take stress for it. It feels like why I am not being stressed for the hair fall. so stress level is down by 30-40%.

4. Dreams: these days on some night I don't have dreams and on some nights I have 2-3 dreams. Dreams are somewhat less than earlier.

5. Headache: I eat in afternoon and read a lot on laptop with glasses on(-1.0 in both eyes). may be due to these reasons or another, I am for past 3 days feeling a little headache from 4-5 PM onwards. I was not feeling headache earlier.

Therefore, Please guide me about what and how should I take as my next dose.

Thanks a lot.

Dear sir,
You asked to report after a week and it is almost 13 days from dose 1 on 18th Feb(Phosphorus 200c). So here I am mentioning the current observations from the past week time.

1. Falling hair: One particularly new change is that *there are some hairs upto 15-20, always falling and dropping on both side ear temples. This happens for the whole day and I come to know when one fallen hair drops and touches the ear, I check on the ear with finger and find a fallen hair.*
There is 5-10% reduction in hair fall. Also 50% reduction in fallen hair seen on pillow cover after sleeping. But still 10-15 hairs in comb, 10-15 after shampoo.

2. Stress: I think I feel good these days. Stress level is 30-40% down from the beginning of the start of the doses.

3.Thirst: It is slightly moderate now. Now I find that only some times I feel dry throat. And at sometimes it feels like throat is dry due to a little cough though I have no running nose or coughing.

4. Dreams: I can't say clearly if dreams are in same number or less. Most of the times these are of general nature of daily people.

5. No Headache: No headache these days, Some times though it happens once or twice in a week maybe.

These days I am taking whole wheat bread, cucumber, carrot, banana, honey, lemon, walnut, raisins, almonds, dates. Also I sleep on 11-12 PM daily these days.

Please suggest me about the next dose. what do you expect for when will the regrowth of hair on bald patches will possibly start. Please give additional suggestions if needed.

Thanks a lot.

Dear sir,
I have been consulting you for the cure of 'Primary cicatricial alopecia and Hairfall' for past 1 month.
I am reporting after the 3rd dose(Phosphorus 200c) of 5th March.
Dose 1 on 18th Feb night and Dose 2 on morning of 19th Feb. So here I am mentioning the current observations:

1. Falling hair: After the 3rd dose I am not seeing any reduction in hair fall. It is constant. Only change is 50% reduction(from beginning) in fallen hair seen on pillow cover after sleeping. But still 10-15 hairs in comb, 10-15 after shampoo. Sometimes there is much more hairfall(20-25) at combing time.

2. Stress: I am not cheerful these days. Thing is that I am just busy in study and job and don't think so much about my problem. But I get stressed sometimes at combing time. Overall Stress level is 20-30% down from the beginning.

I checked the bald patches today but sorry to say there is no growth of new hairs. Please don't mind this, I am just informing you. But suggest something to reduce this nasty hairfall problem. Please suggest me the next dose. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks a lot for helping me in this hardship time...

Due to busy schedule and laziness I am not able to do exercise.

But I have been following the dietary guidelines for the whole time(except 1-2 days occasional neglect of fruits).

I am eating curd(dairy product packed) 2-4 days in a week. I eat 1 cucumber and some carrot in afternoon. I take 2-3 bananas, corn flakes, milk in breakfast and some time whole wheat bread in breakfast. Besides this I eat raisins, walnut, almonds etc.

Sir, I am sorry for not following your guidelines with good strictness.
Please suggest me the next dose.
From now on I will really follow all the guidelines carefully.

Thanks.

Thanks sir. I will take one dose on tomorrow morning.

Dear sir,

For the last 10 days I have been feeling a mild pain on the region of my right eyebrow bone, It is not continuous or happening for a period. It happens only when I apply little pressure, or looking up at some object above my head area or my right eyebrow.
I'm not sure if it is sinus, I didn't have any blocked nose or cold etc recently. maybe it's been due to Cold change in weather(Here Feb onwards is summer) or due to my sleeping pattern as I sometimes sleep with face lying on the pillow, that could be the reason?

I checked with a friend of mine(and also on some internet yahoo answers) who told me that this may be sinus. He told me to inhale vapour of 'Carvol' medicine in with warm boiled water. Also he told me to take a course of a ayurvedic medicine 'Septilin' of Himalaya brand.

So I want to ask you that can I take this course of medicine along with my homeopathy dose(which I take at 15 days gap).

Please suggest me for what should I do. I will check with a general physician too for the medicines.

Thanks.

okay sir. I will wait for it to be resolved in 2-3 days.
by the way it has already been 10 days.
In the mean time can I apply heatpads on this area. Also can I inhale the vapor of karvol in warm water.
Thanks.

Dear sir,
I have been consulting you for the cure of 'Primary cicatricial alopecia and Hairfall' for past 1 and half month.
I am reporting after the 4rd dose(Phosphorus 200c) of 20th March.
So here I am mentioning the current observations:

1. Falling hair: Hairfall is constant and normal not so much. Change is 80% reduction(from beginning) in fallen hair seen on pillow cover after sleeping. But still 10-12 hairs in comb, 10-12 after shampoo.
I recently got haircut and maybe due to small hairs, so maybe combing doesnot pull many hairs.

2. Dandruff: I have always been suffering from dandruff. These days sometimes there is itching also on the scalp may be due to dandruff. I use shampoo twice in a week. Please suggest something for this too

2. Stress: Stress is mild and sometimes only at combing time. Overall Stress level is 30-40% down from the beginning.

I checked the bald patches but still there is no growth of new hairs. Please don't mind this, I am just informing you.

I am following the dietary and exercise routine(Yoga). Please suggest me the next dose. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks a lot..

Dear sir,

I sent you the previous reply on 3rd April. At that time you asked to not take any dose and report back after 1 week.

The only change I can feel from previous week was that I felt a little increase in hair fall in the case of not taking my 15 days gap dose(This may be a wrong assumption too). Rest all the present symptoms/observations are same as the previous reply only.
Please check my reply dated 3rd April(2014-04-03) and suggest me the next dose.

Thanks a lot..
