Dr. Mass R. Usuf - PhD, MD (Acu), MFHom, Former Senior Vice President National Association of Homoeopaths and Affiliates and Country Co-ordinator for Natural Healthcare Worldwide (Switzerland) vis-a-vis the free post-tsunami homoeopathic medical camps conducted in the east coast, is of the opinion that dengue fever (and even Chikungunya) is a disease which can be easily prevented to a great extent by homoeopathic prophylactic (preventive) treatment.
He says that empiric treatment has proved the efficacy of homoeopathic prophylaxis.
Therefore, the dengue menace would assume the character of a very localized spread of some mild viral happening instead of assuming such alarming epidemic proportions with tragic consequences by providing such prophylactic treatment in all homoeopathic hospitals/dispensaries island wide, and by setting up temporary homoeopathic prophylactic centres in schools and community centres in major cities/towns.
Dr. Usuf says he would like to know from the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine and the Homoeopathic Medical Council operating under this Ministry what actions have they taken when these entities have the capability to contribute immensely vis-à-vis the prevention and treatment of dengue fever!
It is his contention as a homoeopath that President Mahinda Rajapaksa needs to direct the Ministry of Indigenous Health and the Homoeopathic Medical Council to form a committee and provide such homoeopathic prophylactic treatment to the vulnerable masses using the aforesaid premises. This would to a great extent reduce the numbers affected by dengue fever.
Dr.Usuf is confident that those suffering from dengue fever (even Chikungunya) would find rapid relief by taking homoeopathic treatment. A patient affected by dengue fever, he states, would be up and about within 48 hours with all distressing symptoms receding fast.
Timely homoeopathic treatment even prevents a patient progressing into the severe forms of dengue fever - dengue shock/haemorrhage - which can at the end lead to loss of life.
Dr. Usuf recommends three versatile Homoeopathy drugs - Led Pal, Eup Perf and Pyro - which are given as prophylactics on a bi-weekly/weekly basis against dengue (and Chikungunya).
These drugs are devoid of any side effects and can be administered even to a day old infant.
The few complicated cases (shock/haemorrhage) can be easily treated by adding one or two other homoeopathic drugs as per symptoms manifested.
As the homeopathic drugs are so cheap, Dr. Usuf is of the opinion that treating people with homoeopathic prophylactic (preventive) treatment the government coffers will not be strained unlike in the present circumstances where the Health Services have to spend millions in treating dengue patients with extended hospital stay!
So the twenty million question this former Senior Vice President of the National Association of Homeopaths & Affiliates poses is: “What is the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine and the Homeopathic Medial Council operating under this Ministry doing when they have the resources and the drugs to embark upon a prevention program and even to successfully treat affected patients so that mortality rates would drop down dramatically in tandem with nil or with short hospital admissions”.
Dr. Usuf has seen many young and old patients afflicted with dengue fever (and Chikungunya) taking no longer than 48 hours to recuperate with no complications, no hospitalisation and no fatalities.
He fervently hopes that President Mahinda Rajapaksa would direct the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine and the Homoeopathic Medical Council to initiate action and implement a programme to combat this dreaded disease that is taking toll of precious lives by providing the homoeopathic prophylactic and treatment for those affected as well.
