Akzidose/Übersäuerung:
Übersäuert Vermeulen II S. 744
Akzidosis entsteht durch:
1. Ekzess of Carb-ac. Bei Lungenbeschwerden (kurzatmig/husten).
2. Mangel an Basen:
Verlust von Körperflüßigkeiten durch Durchfall/Erbrechen/Sport
Ausgleich durch Abgabe von Carb-ac. über die Lungen (kurzatmig/husten).
Abgabe von Ammonia über die Nieren.
Vergesellt von Aufbau von Carb-ac. and Abbau von O verursacht Müdigkeit + Kraftlosigkeit.
Hydrog bestimmt Säure-/Basengleichgewicht
Säuren geben Wasserstoffionen ab = Ph 1 - 7
Basen (= Lauge) nehmen +Wasserstoffionen auf/RNA/DNA = Basen = Ph 7 - 14
Neutral = Ph 7
Mund Ph bis 5,8 = sauer, während Essen + gut kauen bis 7,8 = basisch
Speichel ändert gekochte Kohlenhydrate in Maltose
Zahnstein entsteht aus Speichel (Ausführungsgänge des Speicheldrüsen) + Mineralien + Resten von verdauter Nahrung/= Ca + P haltig aus Speichel durch hohe Ph-wert im Mund/Zahnlöcher entstehen durch niedrige Ph-wert
Magen: nüchtern etwa 7,0 nach Essen bis 1 = sauer Stellt Natrium bikarbonat her
Ph zu hoch = Sodbrennen/Magengeschwür
Ph zu niedrig hemmt Verdauung „Wie Stein im Magen“
Stellt Säure und Basen her
Magensäure gerinnt Milch/ändert Eiweiß in Peptonen
Zwölffingrige Darm = basisch durch Galle/Fette/Pankreassekrete/Enzymen
Dünndarm: = basisch
Basische Sekrete von Dünndarm/Galle/Pankreas werden mit Magensäure in Kochsalz/Wasser/Kohlendioxide umgesetzt
Pankreassaft spaltet Peptonen auf/verändert Fetten in Fettsäure + Glycerol/spaltet Kohlenhydrate
Galle verflüssigen Fette
Dünndarmsaft ändert Peptonen in Aminosäuren/stellt aus Zuckerformen Glykose her
Dickdarm = Ph 5 - 7 Basisch = Eiweißverdauung/sauer = Verdauung der Kohlenhydraten
Blut muss Ph 7,36 - 7,43 sein = schwach basisch/Ph-wert unter 7,2 bedeutet akuter Lebensgefahr. (Zelle ist 80% Basen + 20% Säure)/RNA + DNA = Basen)
Basen werden ohne Hilfe abgebaut/Säure werden mit Hilfe Basen abgebaut
Sauer reagieren: Cl + P + S Basisch alle andere Elementen
Blut hat Puffersystem [= roter Blutfarbstoff + Bikarbonat (= O + H + C)]
Ist dieses System voll, wird im Bindegewebe (= zwischenzelluläre Raum/= Transportsystem von Versorgung + Abfuhr/= Teil des Nervensystems/=
2 - 3x Lebermasse) abgelagert
Diese Zustand = Akzidose/Übersäuerung verursacht u.a. Arthrose/Durchblutungsstörung/Rheuma/Osteoporose/Karies/Zellulitis/Falten
Akzidose wird bestimmt von:
1. Nahrungszusammensetzung und -belastung
2. Verdauungsmöglichkeit
3. Verbrauch von Genussmittel (Nicot/Alkohol/Coff/Drogen/Cann-i. usw) bewirkt Säure
4. Umwandlungsfähigkeit der Nieren (gefördert durch Bewegung/Wasser trinken)
5. Stress
6. Flüssigkeitsaufnahme
7. Bewegungszeit
Basenmangel = wenig Galle/Bauchspeicheldrüsesekret, dadurch verbleibt Nahrung zu lange im Magen/Darm

[Dr. Subrata K. Banerjea]
There are two types of
cases we get for Acute Prescribing
1. Acute diseases (e.g.,
cold, fever, etc.)
2. Acute exacerbation of chronic
cases (e.g., acute status asthmaticus in a chronic case of asthma; acidity in a
chronic gastritis etc.
When the patient is on a chronic constitutional deep acting medicine, I
prefer not to disturb the dynamic resonance of the chronic medicine and would
prefer to give acute medicines either in tincture or in very lower potency, so
that it does not go in the level of the dynamic deep acting medicine.
APPROACH IN ACUTE PRESCRIBING:
During acute stage, we Homoeopath can handle the acute cases with courage
and prescribe the following medicines. As the patient wants immediate relief,
so in my long experience, I have used extensively the medicines, which has
pronounced action on the main symptoms of the specific acute situation and have
the capability of giving the patient instant relief. Some times patient is drug
dependent even for an acute situation e.g., acute acidity in chronic gastritis
and constantly takes antacids on a daily basis (in such situation, according to
§173--§178, Ref. Organon of Medicine: Treatment of One Sided Diseases with
scarcity of symptoms) we can gradually withdraw/wean off the conventional
medication [Subrata asks the patient to sip the homoeopathic medicine
prescribed on the basis of few available symptoms in those drug-dependant acute
cases, considering the symptomatic similarity of few symptoms in accordance
with §173--§178. So when the patient have acute problem and in need of
conventional medicine, patient takes the homoeopathic medicine and tries to
defer the conventional medicine as much as s/he can. In this way, a drug
dependent patient who used to take conventional medication 8 hourly; can, with
the help of homoeopathic medicine now defer the medication to 12 hourly, then
24 hourly and so on. In this way the conventional medication is gradually
weaned off]. In such way patient can avoid the use of conventional chemicals
(as patients get frustrated of prolonged / regular use of conventional
chemicals in this era of organic food; and also suffer from the side-effects
etc.) I get a disclaimer signed by the patient who wishes to wean off the
conventional medicines gradually. I give the entire power and decision in the
hand of the patient (as the patient is also aware of the side effects of the
chemicals of the conventional medicine and wants to wean-off them). Giving the
"weaning off power" in the hand of the patient, makes him/her feel
that s/he is taking control of what s/he is taking and therefore patients will
power of weaning-off the conventional medicine work as well towards raising of
patient's energy level, so that they can very gradually wean off without much
suffering. I do not advice exactly how much to wean-off because that should be
guided by the G.P.
I like to share the courage with my fellow homoeopaths, so that they can
confidently prescribe the indicated acute medicine and handle the attack.
Homoeopathy is not complementary medicine but it is an Alternative medicine to
the conventional chemicals and we can do this by adopting proper methodology
and thereby give fast relief to our patients during their acute suffering, as
well.
In drug dependent cases, when the patient is on conventional
medications; in such cases it is very difficult to get a clear picture of the
case. The artificial chronic disease is superimposed on the original natural
disease (Aphorism 91, Organon), therefore symptoms are contaminated or
suppressed and the patient cannot give a clear picture e.g., sensations,
modalities, etc. I select Lesser Known Organopathic Medicines, where there is
absence of good totality for polychrest prescribing. In such cases lesser known
organopathic medicines have capability to alleviate symptoms to a certain
extent, thereby giving the chance to wean off the conventional chemicals (so
called medicines), and experience shows that after 40-50% weaning off; the
uncontaminated symptoms of the natural disease surfaces and gives us the proper
modalities, sensations etc which will enable for constitutional prescribing,
which is obviously our final motto.
In the same way, for conventional pain killer dependent Migraine cases,
the artificial chronic disease is superimposed on the original natural disease,
therefore symptoms are contaminated or suppressed and the patient cannot give a
clear picture for a constitutional medicine as well as the modalities
of the pain are masked. The following medicines can be selected on the
basis of few available symptoms, e.g., Acetan. Anagyris, Bromium. Chion. Epiph.
Ferr-p-p. Indium, Iris. Kalm. Lac-d. Meli. Menis. Meny. Ol-a. Onos. Saponin,
Usn. Yucc. etc. Accordingly the conventional allopathic pain killer is
gradually withdrawn and after approximately 50% weaning off of the conventional
medicine, suppressed symptoms surfaces and now the patient can give much
clearer modalities. This will lead to making a change in the plan of treatment
and on the basis of `MTEK' [Miasm + Totality + Essence + Key notes] a
constitutional prescription can now be made.
Similar example for Drug Dependent Hypertensive cases where the
following medicines (All-s. Crat. Serum-a. Ergotinum, Lycop-v. Rauw. Spartium
Scoparium, Stroph. etc.) are capable of gradually weaning off the conventional
medication.
Through this approach, not only does the patient gain immediate
confidence that homoeopathy works, but can also wean off the conventional
medication to certain extent.

[Edward Peter Phahamane]
The pH (potential hydrogen) scale is used to measure acidity +/o.
alkalinity content. A pH value of 7.0 is considered as neutral (Lewis 2013).
A pH value lower than 7.0 is considered acidic while a pH value above
7.0 is considered alkaline. Water which makes up approximately 80% of the human
body has a normal pH value of 7.0
(Balch and Balch 2000).
The average arterial blood pH is in the range 7.35 – 7.41.
The pH range for healthy skin 6.0; the digestive tract 1.5 – 8.5.
Urine pH is less than 5.0. (Longmore et al. 2008; Lewis 2013; Thomas
2014).
Within this range of pH values, a low HCO3 – concentration level plus a
low pH value is considered acidic and results in a condition known as metabolic
acidosis. An increase of HCO3-plus
high pH value is considered alkaline, and it may result in a condition
also known as metabolic alkalosis. The diagnosis of both metabolic acidosis and
alkalosis is determined by arterial blood pH,
arterial blood gas (PaO2, PaCO2, pH, HCO3-), measurement of serum
electrolytes including calcium and magnesium; calculation of the Anion gap and
delta gap and calculation of compensatory
changes using winter’s formula (Longmore et al. 2008; Lewis 2013).
The causes of metabolic acidosis include: renal failure; ketoacidosis
(diabetes, chronic alcoholism, under-nutrition, fasting); lactic acidosis due
to physiologic processes (shock, seizures, primary
hypoxia due to lung disorders); lactic acidosis due to exogenous toxins
(carbon monoxide, cyanide, iron, Isoniazid, toluene); toxins metabolised to
acids (alcohol, methanol, salicyclates);
rhabdomyolysis; ureteros igmoidostomy; rapid Nacl parenteral infusion;
ingestion of magnesium sulphate; Hyperkalemia; hypoaldosteronism; diarrhea;
colostomy (Thomas 2014; Lewis 2013).
The causes of metabolic alkalosis include:
gastric acid loss due to vomiting or nasogastric suction; congenital
chloridorrhea; villous adenoma; primary hyperaldosteronism; secondary
hyperaldosteronism; use of glycyrrhizin containing
compounds (i.e. licorice, chewing tobacco, carbenoxolone.); Bartter
syndrome (rare congenital disease which causes hyperaldosteronism and
hypokalemic acidosis in early childhood with renal
salt wasting and volume depletion); Gitelman syndrome (common in young
adults and it is a combination of Bartter syndrome plus hypomagnesemia and
hypocalciuria); diuretics (loop diurectics
and thiazides); posthypercapnic; postorganic acidosis; NaHCO3 loading;
milk-alkali syndrome; sweat loss in cystic fibrosis; laxative abuse; carbohydrate
feeding after starvation
(Thomas 2014; Lewis 2013).
The clinical features associated with metabolic acidosis include:
frequent sighing; insomnia; water retention; recessed eyes; arthritis; migraine
headaches; abnormally low blood pressure; acid, or strong
perspiration; hard, dry, foul smelling stools accompanied by burning
sensation in the anus during stools; halitosis; burning sensation in the mouth;
sensitivity of teeth to vinegar and acidic fruits;
and tumours on the tongue and hard palate. These clinical features are
present in chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, aspirin
overuse, adrenal disorders, stomach ulcers,
malnutrition, obesity, ketosis, anger, stress, fear, anorexia, toxaemia,
fever, overuse of niacin and vitamin B (Balch and Balch 2000; Lewis 2013;
Porter 2008).
The clinical features associated with metabolic alkalosis include;
anxiety, hyperventilation, seizures, protruding eyes, hypertension,
hypothermia, oedema, allergies, night cramps, cracking joints,
bursitis, drowsiness, asthma, blood clotting, hard dry stools,
prostatitis, thickening of the skin with burning, itching sensation, calcium
build-up. Metabolic alkalosis may result from excessive vomiting,
high cholesterol, endocrine imbalance, diarrhoea, and osteoarthritis
(Balch and Balch 2000; Lewis 2013; Porter 2008).
The vital work of acids in the body is to maintain the acid-base balance
in an effort to maintain the normal balance of the hydronium ions. During
injury, pregnancy, disease or illness,
high mitotic-meiotic cell turn-over is induced, which in turn affects
the acid-base balance. In response, the body’s compensatory mechanisms which
include the circulation components, lungs,
respiratory centres, and kidneys work to buffer the extremes of the acid-base
balance. The buffer systems are usually made up of a weak acid and its salt or
conjugate base. Examples of such buffers
include the bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer system and the phosphate
buffer system. Failure of the compensatory mechanisms of the buffer systems may
alter rates of chemical reactions within a
cell and affect the many metabolic processes of the body which can lead
to alterations in consciousness, neuromuscular irritability, tetany, coma and
death (Bishop, Fody and Schoeff 2005).
