As a result, they were exposed to smoke chulhas, firewood, biomass, and natural hazards like floods, draughts, etc., more often than anybody else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The government then came up with holistic treatments for these widely prevalent diseases in the form of vaccines like Pneumococcal, Tetanus, Pertussis, Measles, etc. However, some conditions, like tuberculosis, require medicines to be consumed for a more significant period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This prolonged or inappropriate consumption of allopathic(chemical-based drugs) medicines has induced drug-based resistance in patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_diving_in_further_lets_first_understand_what_drug_resistance_is\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Before diving in further, let\u2019s first understand what drug resistance is.<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anti-Microbial resistance, popularly known as drug resistance, is when bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and other microorganisms evolve in ways that make the drugs used to treat the infections ineffective. The microorganisms that have developed resistance to most antibiotics are referred to as superbugs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a study conducted under the guidance of senior Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) scientist <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Kamini Walia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cthe data analysis carried out between January 1 and December 31, 2021, indicated a sustained rise in drug-resistant pathogens, making it difficult to treat some infections with currently available medications.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She warned, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cif quick action is not taken to address the problem, antibiotic resistance might soon become a pandemic.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a significant problem since a resistant virus might be lethal, infectious, and expensive for both people and society. As a result, authorities at the national and global levels have been quite concerned about it. Here is the situation when the Indian government started to believe in Complementary and Alternative Medicine(CAM), i.e., Homeopathy: the alternate medicine which has the potential to fight the disease and leaves no side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_drug_resistance_not_seen_in_the_school_of_homeopathy\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Why is drug resistance not seen in the school of homeopathy?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole idea of being infected with a viral or bacterial attack is the body\u2019s inability to fight the foreign agent that\u2019s harmful to the body. Antigens and Antibodies are the two medical terminologies here. Antigens are foreign agents, such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, toxins, and pollens, that force the immune system to produce antibodies against them. Our immune system creates antibodies to fight an infection or a foreign agent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An antibody is a protein-based immune system element that travels through the blood and detects and destroys foreign entities like bacteria and viruses. Antibodies remain in circulation in the blood after exposure to antigens, acting as a defense against additional vulnerabilities. Homeopathy, a conventional mode of medicinal treatment, works on the principle of \u201clike treats like.\u201d It stimulates the body\u2019s healing ability to disease and uses diluted medications that react quickly, addressing the root cause.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is an alternate systems of medicine that seeks to stimulate the body\u2019s defense mechanism to prevent or treat illness and is widely used to treat long-term ailments. For example, Homeopathy has proven strength in treating allergic disorders and chronic conditions like kidney transplants, paralysis, respiratory illnesses, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avail_Free_Counsultation\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Avail Free Counsultation<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increasing_inclination_toward_Homeopathy\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Increasing inclination toward Homeopathy<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14225\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ceb0a1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ceb0a1;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14225 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pic-300x300.png\" alt=\"Increasing inclination toward Homeopathy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pic-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pic-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pic.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Increasing inclination toward Homeopathy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homeopathy, the alternate systems of medicine, works on the principle of \u201cTreat the disease and not the patient.\u201d It treats the patient on the basis of symptoms. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samuel Hahnemann<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gave the principle of \u201cSingle Medicine Theory\u201d in ORGANON, i.e., mini doses (giving only one medicine at a time) under homeopathic philosophy. He stressed that \u201cthe core idea of treating the disease from the root will only be achieved when this principle is met in the treatment process.\u201d Otherwise, it will be a suppressive treatment like any other school of medicine<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_a_homeopathic_physician_specialized_in_treating_all_kinds_of_diseases\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Why is a homeopathic physician specialized in treating all kinds of diseases?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole idea of treating the symptoms and not the disease makes it a complete and unique form of treatment. Homeopathic science works on the principle of symptomology. Therefore, a specialized professional is not required to treat a condition, but any homeopath can prescribe medicine after understanding its severity. However, the entire prescription will be tailored to the patient\u2019s requirement individually, but the management(diagnosis, consequences, causes), etc., will be prepared according to the disease<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_drug_resistance_not_seen_in_the_school_of_homeopathy-2\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Why is drug resistance not seen in the school of homeopathy?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier in the classical theory of homeopaths, every symptom of the patient, including physical and mental symptoms, generalities, and other particulars, was examined to begin the treatment process. And unfortunately, it could only cure 50-55% of patients. But the current theory works on the principle of \u201cMind is Man,\u201das <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. James Tyler Kent<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stated. It believes in analyzing the patient\u2019s brain, i.e., mental symptoms, to examine his condition comprehensively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The disease occurs when there is distortion in the flow of life force, and homeopathy helps regulate the life force. Homeopathy is known to treat the patient and not the disease. Homeopathic solutions are tailored to provide individualized treatments. Homeopathic science believes that every patient has a unique disease history and requirements. While one course of medicine may work for one patient, it may not work for the other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India and Drug Resistance India as a nation has struggled with various diseases historically, like tuberculosis, cholera, etc., that were largely impacting the population in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14224,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[71,77],"class_list":["post-12640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-bharat-homeopathy","tag-homeopathic-treatment"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12640"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14226,"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12640\/revisions\/14226"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
