Discussion
The remedy, selected on the totality and prescribed on sycotic, syphilitic plethora has benefited the patient. Since the outward manifestations are better, the deep seated miasmatic tendency expressed as AIDS is also expected to give positive serological study. The treatment is on with a ray of hope.
Dear Pawan,
Thank you for a very moving and informative case. I pray that you continue to meet with success with this poor little girl.
At a time when here in the UK, homoeopaths are under such attack, I wish more people could see the effects of our wonderful discipline.
Very west wishes,
Kevin Morris

Dear Dr. Pawan
I am suffering from molluscum from last 5 months.I want to tell you my story about this….
I am 29 year old unmarried male from India.I am really worried about HIV. I got some small pimples beside my lips i didn’t care and keep continue my shaving after a two months it had been increase a lot in my beard area. Then I consult to a dermatologist he told me that is Molluscum and recommend me to HIV test I am not sexually active . Here is my all test report till today (18-07-2011)
My life first relation(sex) with a girl with condom i don’t know about her HIV history :- 18 Feb,2011

The reason for worrying:-
I read in lot of article that if you have molluscum in beard area and eyelids that’s means you are HIV infected. I have lot’s of small molluscum in my beard area as well as in my eyelids. I am under depression about HIV. Every week I got small molluscum over my face . These all ( more then 200 hundred ) are very small like pinhead , but you can see if u look very close .I talk to my dermatologist about this. He is using TCA 25% to burn molluscum and prescribed some of medicine to antibiotic medicine to increase my immune system from mid April,2011. I just come to show my HIV result to my dermatologist. He told me that you are 100% HIV free,But again another side he told me that if you continue your HIV test till Nov. that will be 200 % what that mean. Every time he make me more restless.I have already lost my job due this tense. Every day i am feeling like a year Whenever i am going to search on internet about molluscum on face then only one response i am getting that is only for HIV.
I have just change my dermatologist from last 2 week but molluscum is still on .
Have you ever been seen any person without HIV on face molluscum ?
What is the chances of HIV after 6 month after sexual relationship ( specially me because I have suffering from molluscum ) ?
Regards…..
Maddy
send me your detail case history at [email protected]
As per medical ethics HIV patient history should not be discussed on open forum without patients permission. So kindly email your history at email id.
Dear Maddy,
Antibiotics actually decrease your natural immunity levels, they actually fight AGAINST your body’s own immunity system as well as any germs. So if I were you, I would first come out of “anti-life”s (meaning of anti-biotic), as I too have some precious life, do not want to neutralize it. Instead go for homeopathy and boost my life and my God-given immune system.
this is just my 2c interference.
I have been greatly touched by the story of this little girl and by the extraordinary result you have obtained. My best compliments.
is she doing better?
Yes. As still there is no any recurrence of molluscum.
God bless you a million times, Dr. Chandak! That beautiful little girl must be so thankful that she can play and have fun like other children. Give her a hug from me!
Well done, Dr. Chandak!!!!! Hope to see more from you.
This is outrageous. You have no principles. I cannot believe you have published this girls name, date of birth and personal details. You clearly have no formal training at all in any medical-ethics-legal principles. You should be ashamed. I hope your families medical files are published on the internet with their names and DOBs!
Dear Dr Chandak,
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful case!I would like to know whether this case has been published in any peer-reviewed journal. If it is,please do let me know. I would like to use it as a reference.
Kind regards
Dr. Runali Kelwalkar
