Remedies for epidemic Chikungunya & Degue

In several Indian metropolitan cities the two mosuito borne viral diseases viz. Chikungunya & Dengue, have play havoc.

Several Doctors and patients are using homeopathic remedies Polyporus pinicola & Eupatorium perf respectively for these viral menaces almost as specifics and getting good results as well and so did I in most cases. They are the 'genus epidemicus' for these two viral diseases.

But in fair number of caes I found these medicines either failing to give a desired relief or producing some untowardly adverse effects. One of my patient's relative who took Polyporus pin. as prophylactic against developed typical symptoms of Chikungunya 5-6 days after the dose. These incidences made me rethink whether we should just stick to only these two remedies or should we keep second sortie of treatment handy if these two remedies fail, though occasionally.

I worked out on this and treated my patients with other well indicated remedies time to time with very satisfying results. My observations are as follows:

For Chikungunya: Use one of the as indicated (in the order of their preferance):
1. Rhus tox: (curative & preventive)
2. Lycopodium.
3. Sulphur.
4. Nux vom.

For Dengue:
1. Ipecacuanha: for hemorrhagic dengue and low platelet count. Also for shock / ARDS (though rare).
2. China: for hemorrhagic dengue / shock
3. Arsenicum album: in shock / sudden collapse & ARDS.
4. Suplhur: if joint pains and rashes are marked.

Other rarely indicate remedies are Verat (collpse wt coldenss), Lach (Hemorrhagic)

I have good result through this mode of prescribing (selecting similimum when genus epidemicus failed or was insufficient).

I want to treat and help maximum vivtims but there are only few to moderate number of cases in my area of practice. So, my experience alone isn't sufficient for comming to conclusions. Therefore, I request my colleagues to use these hints and try to help maximum number of ailing humanity. I am aware some of the Homeopaths might already be working on similar line of treatment, though.

I would request non-medical public not to try medicines on these hints on their own but seek professional assistance for better & safer outcomes.
