Chikungunya
Überträger: Aedes albopictus
Während der Chikungunya-Epidemie, die in den Jahren 2007 bis 2009 in Teilen Süd- und Ost-Indiens herrschte, wurden mehr als eine Million Fälle mit einer Einzel-Dosis
von Polyp-p. D 1000 von uns selbst und unseren Studenten vollkommen und dauerhaft geheilt.
Die Erfolgsquote lag bei 97%. Wir bezeichnen dieses Mittel daher als 'Simile' für Chikungunya. Wie haben wir dieses Heilmittel gefunden? Chikungunya beginnt mit Fieber, Schüttelfrost und Gelenkschmerzen. Viele Patienten mussten wegen der lähmenden Schmerzen zur Toilette kriechen.
Ihre Gesichter wirkten "bedrückt". (Calvin B. Knerr - GEIST, GEMÜT und STIMMUNG - bedrückt, bei Wechselfieber: Polyp-p.). Obwohl Chikungunya nicht dasselbe wie Wechselfieber ist, ist das die nächstliegende Rubrik, die wir für das Aussehen von Gesichtern von Chikungunya-Opfern haben. (Wechselfieber: Malaria oder eine andere Krankheit, bei der Fieber und Schüttelfrost auftritt).
During the years 2006 - 2008, almost
all homoeopath practitioners had been giving different remedies for chikungunya disease (mainly Rhus-t.
and Eup-per.) to be taken for days and weeks with
little relief.
Polyp-p. C 10000 is
almost a specific for chikungunya and with this
remedy GIVEN IN ONE SINGLE DOSE, my students had cured many chikungunya
victims during the years 2006 to 2008. (Success: more than 97%).
Disease begins with fever, shivering
and joint pains. Many patients had to crawl for going to the toilet etc.
because of crippling joint pains. Their faces were “gloomy.”
(Calvin B. Knerr’s
Repertory - MIND AND DISPOSITION - Gloomy, in ague: Polyp-p.) (ague: malaria or
another illness involving fever and shivering).
Chikungunya (= Chicken Guinea) is a form of
viral fever caused by an alphavirus that is spread by
mosquito bites from the Aedes aegypti,
though recent research by the Pasteur Institute in Paris claims the virus has
suffered a mutation that enables it to be transmitted by Aedes
albopictus (= Tiger mosquito). This was the cause of
the actual plague in the Indian Ocean and a threat to the mediterranean
coast at present.
The name is derived from the Makonde word
meaning "that which bends up" in reference to the stooped posture
developed as a result of the arthritic symptoms of the disease.
Alphavirus that is spread by mosquito bites
from the Aedes aegypti and Aedes Albopictus mosquitos.
Self limiting febrile viral disease; characterized by arthralgia or arthritis typically in the knee, ankle and
small joints of the extremities, high fever, followed by a maculopapular
rash; buccal and palatal enanthema
can occur; nausea and vomiting may occur; mild haemorrhaging may be present
(child); inapperent infections are common, immunity
is long lasting.
Found in Africa, India, south east Asia and the Philippines
Humans, mammals (primates), birds
The primary symptoms of Chikungunya include -
Joints pain
· Fever, up to 104° which
lasts for 3 - 5 days

(bodyache) or arthritis affecting multiple joints
which can be debilitating. The joint pains can be severe and even crippling.
There can also be headache, conjunctival
infection and slight photophobia. Fever typically lasts for two days and
abruptly comes down, however joint pain, intense headache, insomnia and an
extreme degree of prostration lasts or a variable period, usually for about 5 -
7 days.
Dermatological manifestations observed in a recent outbreak of Chikungunya fever in Southern India includes the following:

centro-facial area
Flagellate pigmentation on
face and extremities
Lichenoid
eruption and hyperpigmentation in photodistributed

Lympoedema in acral
distribution (bilateral/unilateral)
Multiple ecchymotic
spots (Children)
Vesiculobullous
lesions (infants)
Subungual
hemorrhage
Diagnosis:
Detection of antigens or
antibody to the agent in the blood (serology)
ELISA is available
An IgM
capture ELISA is necessary to distinguish the disease from dengue fever.
[Dr. S.P. Koppikar]
It prodded me to Chikungunya where we have the
inflammatory changes typical of an acute arthritis, where the patient is in a sort of a
shock as to why on a seemingly
fine morning has difficulty even to take a step! Well, a friend was
made. For all acute arthritis-like symptoms, whether it is chikungunya,
polyarthritis or gout,
Ac-form. has been handy in relieving the pain and
also adding a spring in my step in treatment of arthritis. Acid formic has
hence given a break to Bry.,
Rhus-t. and
Colch. who are ‘on the bench’ for now.
Many a time, we come across a morose, never-happy personalities at our
clinic who only complain of not having any energy or enthusiasm for anything.
They run about their day with little interest and would like to postpone
everything while their impatience and their sad and weepy moods disturb the
happiness of the family. Under such circumstances, we consider the
malfunctioning of the thyroid gland, and turn towards getting the thyroid tests
done. These being normal, our minds go to the anxiety and depression chapters.
But when the Argentums, Ign., Nat-m. and Aurums return empty handed, I
ask to check the Serum Cortisol levels.
Homeopathy offers medicines which may help in Chikungunya.
These include medicines like Eupat-per. Pyrog. Rhus-t. Cedr. Influ. China, Arn. Bell. Bry. Led. Ruta. etc. Many homeopaths consider Eupat-per.
as a preventive medicine for Chikungunya. The most
commonly suggested potency as prophylaxis is C 200 of Eupat-per.
Eupat-per. Q (tincture, 3 to 5 drop dose) will
remove the debilitating joint pains and cut short the intensity and duration of
the disease. Other potencies may be used according to the intensity of the
case.
[Krishnamurti]
Polyp-p. C 10.000 is almost a
specific for Chikungunya given in one single dose. My
students cured many Chikungunya victims during the
years 2006 to 2008 success rate
> than 97%.
Conventional treatment:
No vaccine or specific antiviral treatment for chikungunya
fever is available. Treatment is symptomatic: rest, fluids and ibuprofen,
naproxen, acetaminophen or paracetamol may relieve
symptoms of fever and aching. Aspirin should be avoided
Infected persons should be protected from further mosquito exposure
(staying indoors +/o. under a mosquito net during the first few days of
illness) so that they can't contribute to the transmission cycle.
