Abstract

Introduction: A 32-year-old patient with colon cancer consulted for homeopathic supportive care (HSC). She had also suffered from recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) for 20 years. Could homeopathy treat these two very different issues with the same medicine?

The patient's main concerns: Though the main reason for the consultation was a fear of the side effects of chemotherapy, the presence of Escherichia coli-induced RUTIs affected the patient's quality of life.

Interventions and outcomes: The repertory listing highlighted Pulsatilla as the patient's homeopathic constitutional medicine. It was prescribed both for HSC and also for RUTI. In association with Arsenicum album and Nerves, Pulsatilla enabled a good tolerance to chemotherapy, with rapid recovery from peripheral neuropathies. In combination with Colibacillinum, Pulsatilla provided relapse-free curing of the RUTIs. The MOdified NARanjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) Inventory score was +9.

Conclusion: The one individual's two different clinical complaints were treated with a constitutional homeopathic medicine, Pulsatilla, which covered the whole case. However, in HSC, the use of the constitutional remedy alone is rarely sufficient: it was reinforced by individualised symptomatic medication, organotherapy and isotherapy. For RUTI, isopathic and tubercular miasmatic treatments were each helpful. For both complaints, individualised homeopathy gave rapid, long-lasting and effective results.

顺势疗法支持治疗成功治疗复发性尿路感染1例。

一个32岁的结肠癌患者咨询顺势疗法支持治疗(HSC)。她还患有复发性尿路感染(RUTIs) 20年。顺势疗法能用同一种药物治疗这两种截然不同的问题吗?患者的主要担忧:虽然咨询的主要原因是担心化疗的副作用，但大肠杆菌诱导的RUTIs的存在影响了患者的生活质量。干预措施和结果:剧目清单突出白头翁作为病人的顺势疗法体质药。它既适用于HSC也适用于RUTI。白头翁与砷和神经联合使用，对化疗具有良好的耐受性，周围神经病变恢复迅速。白头草与大肠杆菌联合治疗RUTIs无复发。顺势疗法改良纳兰霍标准(MONARCH)量表得分为+9。结论:1例患者的两种不同的临床主诉均采用顺势疗法药物白头翁治疗，治疗效果良好。然而，在HSC中，仅使用宪法补救措施很少是足够的:它被个体化对症药物、器官治疗和等治疗所加强。对于RUTI，等病治疗和结核性瘴气治疗均有帮助。对于这两种疾病，个体化顺势疗法都能产生快速、持久和有效的效果。
