A young couple visited India at my clinic having  a  complain  of  : No issue after married life of six years. Have tried many treatment options to start a family (in 2000)

MALE-PART:

Mr. K P.

A well built, handsome, enthusiastic young man with a very apprehensive mood and doing everything in haste as “hurried and worried” nature and character. He had narrated to me that his wife having a PCOD (Poly cystic ovarian disease) and for that he is taking Allopathic treatment; (clomiphene citrate, 50 mg) for a pretty long time. As a result of PCOD, her periods were irregular. She developed severe abdominal cramps with bloated feeling; progressively gaining weight. Also she had developed unwanted facial hair.

He  was  much worried  about  all these complains of his wife and as a result he also developed erectile dysfunction, which gradually resulted in

 severe oligo–spermia.

He has a strong liking towards jewellery, diamonds, gold, white gold. He is fond of eating sweets and craves them more during times of tension.

5.Kinins.   

PATHO-PHYSIOLOGY OF BEE STING.

•         After   bee sting….

•         Body quickly   over reacts with Histamine secretion

•         Bee Sting triggers up the release of Histamine from Mast Cells.

•         Histamine is usually  found in higher concentration in Skin, Lungs and  in Gastric Mucosa.

•         Histamine is a potent ARTERIAL DILATOR leading to Hypotension.

•         In lungs, it causes Bronchial constriction leading to spasm, dyspnoea, wheezing and  Respiratory collapse.

Phospholipase A2……

•         Its  membrane Protein, which hydrolyzes

      ↓

•         Phospholipids…to  form….

      ↓

•         Fatty Acids and   LYSOPHOSHOLIPID  products.

      ↓

•         Phospholipase A2 proteins are responsible for the release of…

•         ARCHIDONIC Acid from Cell  Membrane.

•         Subsequent conversion of this Fatty  Acid to ……..

•         Leukotrienes and Prostaglandin is  a  part  of  Inflammatory response.

•         Leading to Inflammatory cyst  formation.   

•         On basis of   Law  of  Similar---Similia Similibus Curenture..

•         APIS   MELLIFICA  is  working  to  remove  the  cysts  from the ovaries.
