There is no therapy at present that can cure diabetes or similar disorders and diseases. So it is imperative that one has to try other therap[ies that has cured similar immunological diseases. I had undergone such a therapy which is not practised by anyone. I am sending my brief report ‘An Expriment à la Samuel Hahnemann’ for your perusal. This is based on my personal experience followed by my study of various articles in English and French media on Epigenetics, Twin Studies, RNA interference and Stem Cell Research as well as a report on type ii diabetes I, Nature on line magazine. As I am not competent to present my experience since I am neither trained in this discipline nor attached to a research institution. But even though I am not a academic four of papers in Ancient history have been accepted in international conferences. I hope you will be able to do a [private investigation as the study is not expensive.
I am just a silent spectator of my wife sinking and loosing her eye-sight even though I am sure she could be saved by this therapy.
An Expriment à la Samuel Hahnemann
Genesis
I was suffering from child hood of continuous sneezing and cold. I wastaking some drugs to give some temporary relief. Even while I was pursuing my MSc(Engg) program at IISc I am regular in attending the campus dispensary. Then in 1977 I had the opportunity to meet a medical practitioner with whom I discussed about my ailment. He suggested a therapy with which he cured severe chronic asthma patients and perhaps it may help me. So I agreed as I had accepted an assignment in Algeria. He administered three injections, one every week. To my surprise I got rid of the ailment and during my assignment at Alegeria from 1978 to 1983 I had weathered extreme weather conditions from icy cold to burning heat as well as dust storms. I did not get the allergic attack again.
The Therapy
The therapy given to me is like this. The doctor will mix about 2ml. of my urine and blood and keep it for about 24 hours in room temperature and place the clear fluid under the skin usually done for the Asthma patients. Before injecting he did inject a test dose on my left fore-arm and waited a few minutes. There were no side effects.
Analysis
On return from my assignment I worked in the Tamilnadu Public Works Department in various capacities and retired in 1993. After retirement to pass time I became a life member of Alliance Français of Madras, to maintain contact with the French language and I used to read books and Journals on History, Science and culture. I got acquainted with Biology, Epigenetics and etc. I came to know that the diseases and disorders of humans were mainly due to epigenetic processes like methylation, acetylisation, phophorilation and etc. I came to know about RNA interference, the stem-cell therapy also and I have found the stem-cell therapy administration appeared to be like the therapy administered to me. It is to be noted that the urine of the foetus is an essential element of the amniotic fluid in which the foetus is floating and intrauterine surgery to it does not leave any scars.. I also felt the therapy could be effective in the case of cattle also. For example one of the causes of mad-cow disease is their modified feed. As such a detailed programme of research could lead to a standardisation of the therapy.
On reading Genes and Immunity (2009) 10, 125–131; oi:10.1038/gene.2008.87; of the magazine Nature published online 6 November 2008 I do understand that “Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and allergic asthma are immune-mediated diseases.” As such a therapy that is found to cure Allergic Asthma could cure Types I diabetes also. I have suggested a personalised therapy that has cured me of Allergic Rhinitis which has been said by the medical practitioner who administered me the therapy that it had cured Asthma also. The therapy has been reported in my paper “Indus Seals and Human Evolution” presented at the International Conference on Indian History at New Delhi, ICIH 2009, January 9-11, 2009.
I was in Bengaluru during May 2009 and left for Chennai around first week of June with the ailment showing symptoms similar to that of Swine Flu, ‘sneezing, running nose, cough and throat irritation’ I was damn scared and so I went to Allergy and asthma Clinic of Madras General hospital where I was given some anti-biotic and traditional drugs to alleviate the suffering due to allergic rhinitis. I was scared as during that period the media is full of news about Swine Flu outbreak in Bengaluru. I was on treatment from June 9 2009 and July 20 2009 was my last visit to the Hospital. I believe because of the earlier therapy the traditional treatment given at the General Hospital was effective. Of course I do not know whether the condition is due to Swine Flu or not.
Conclusion
The above accounts stress the need for a research program and if proved would be a panacea for the poor in nee of inexpensive therapies.
I suggest the following test to see whether the therapy will be effective in the case of infectious diseases and also other diseases, as the therapy was tested to be effective only in the case of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma.
1. Collect sufficient quantity of blood required for testing the virus count and half the quantity of fresh urine from the patient.
2. Test the blood for the virus count.
3. Mix the other portion of blood and fresh urine.
4. Culture the mix for about 24 hours at room temperature.
5. Test the mix for virus count. If the virus count is less develop appropriate technique for the delivery of clear portion of the mix to the patient.
I have read in the different sites on Auto-Urine Therapy that urine contains nutrients, antibodies and also enzymes that promote longevity and youthfulness. So do not brush it aside and try to replicate the experiment perhaps first with asthma patients and the study the effect of this procedure on other diseases and disorders.
