Data Analysis

An observational retrospective study was undertaken to study the impact of Thyroidinum as an intercurrent remedy. I have taken 40 cases for study & evaluated all cases with evidence of laboratory report at the interval of 3 months up to 1 year. In my clinical study I have seen that in various hypothyroid cases it worked very well as an intercurrent remedy with constitutional remedy from lower to higher potency. I got significant result in 31 cases, no result in 9 cases. So, I have found that we can increase our efficacy of result with use of ‘THYROIDINUM’ as an intercurrent remedy.

Discussion

The study was done in my private clinic “Om Homeopathic Clinic, Surat”. I have taken 40 cases for study & evaluated all cases with Evidence of report at the interval of 2-3 months. The clinical condition of the patient was understood & keeping in mind the stages of disease & severity of disease, even their presentation after taking Tab. Thyronorm. The Tissue Susceptibility, Sensitivity, Miasmatic presentation were understood before & after the Allopathic Treatment.

This study deals with various complex cases & concept about Intercurrent Remedy. Many questions were raised in my mind regarding Intercurrent Remedy. I found that many of the cases that I saw during my training period have been complex with multiple dimensions & few very simple cases but they responded very well to THYROIDINUM as an Intercurrent Remedy. So, it becomes important to know that such cases can be managed more effectively & confidently by Constitutional Medicine with proper use of Intercurrent Remedy like “THYROIDINUM” Thus, I have selected 40 cases of Hypothyroidism from my clinic “Om Homeopathic Clinic” An observational retrospective study was undertaken to study the impact of Intercurrent Remedy with Constitutional Medicine.

Summary and Conclusion

  1. Hypothyroidism can be treated by Homeopathic Constitutional Medicine but I have found that we got fast results after given “THYROIDINUM” as an Intercurrent Remedy.

  2. Intercurrent Remedy always used in 200 & 1 M potency

  3. We can be treated Subclinical Hypothyroidism to Advanced stage of Hypothyroidism with help of Intercurrent Remedy “THYROIDINUM”

  4. We got marvelous result in every ages & both sex by using THYROIDINUM as an Intercurrent Remedy.
