Clinical Study of SarsCov-2 19 Nosode – Part 1: Sarscov-2 19 Nosode 30CK – Its Curative Effects in Patients with Covid 19

Drs. Chetna N. Shukla and Amitrai Shah reports on a clinical study (10 cases) of the effectiveness of a nosode prepared from SarsCov-2 19. This sars covid nosode (SCN) is examined for its value in treating the Covid 19 disease. Subsequent articles will address the use of the nosode for post-covid sequelae and as a prophylactic for healthy individuals.

Part I: In 30 CK in Covid 19 Disease (10 Cases)

Part II: In post-Covid sequel (2 cases of ILF)

Part III:  In 06 CK in healthy humans

Cases from the Clinics of Dr Chetna N Shukla and Dr Amitrai Shah

Summary: In his August 2020 editorial Alan Schmukler wrote, Having been involved in homeopathy for some 30 years, and knowing that homeopaths are daily curing covid-19 patients, it is difficult for me to constantly read, “There are currently no effective treatments for covid-19”. This last statement is no longer true.

This is part one of a series of three articles:

Part 1 is about evidence-based homoeopathy, depicting laboratory findings that are corrected by SarsCov-2 19 nosode in treatment of acute Covid 19 infection.

Part 2 is about evidence-based homoeopathy, depicting laboratory findings that are corrected by SarsCov-2 19 nosode in treatment of Post Covid sequel ( ILF- 2 cases)

Part 3 is about evidence-based homoeopathy, depicting the effect of SarsCov-2 19 nosode in 06CK on healthy human beings eliciting its effect on laboratory findings/ inflammatory markers related to the Covid 19 infection.

This protocol can be applied by any homoeopath to replicate these results. There are many homoeopaths all over India who are treating Covid 19. I urge all of them to maintain records and collectively we can release these as tangible proof of the efficacy of homoeopathy.

Keywords: Covid 19 disease, SarsCov-2 19 Nosode, Pandemic

I would like to begin the article by quoting an interview excerpt of Dr Bhushan Patwardhan, chairman of AYUSH R&D Task Force on Covid-19 dated August 28, 2020…

In an exclusive interview to The Print, Dr Bhushan Patwardhan, chairman of interdisciplinary AYUSH Research and Development Task Force on Covid-19, said:

Currently, we are in the evidence-based precision medicine era. As of now, there is no proven treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection or Covid-19 in any medical system.” The task force that Patwardhan heads was constituted by the Ministry of AYUSH. “Current management of Covid-19 is largely based on experience and empirical evidence. Therefore, what is conventional and what is alternative is difficult to decide,” he said, adding that “when several allopathic drugs are being repurposed based on empirical evidence, there is no reason as to why safe AYUSH interventions are ignored”.

Sars Covid Nosode prepared from SarsCov-2 19, referred to as ‘SCN’ henceforth, was made by Dr Chetna N. Shukla, (B.H.M.S), homoeopath Mumbai, India on 15 June 2020.

NOSODE PREPARATION:  The SCN medicine was prepared on 15 June 2020 at the clinic of Dr Chetna N Shukla. The medicine was prepared from the combined oropharyngeal and nasopharnygeal swab of a male patient who tested positive for the presence of SARS COV-2 RNA by Real time Qualitative PT-PCR Detection of 2019-NCOV RNA COVID  19 collected on 14 June 2020.

POTENCY AVAILABLE:

  1. Handmade – 06 CK 30 CK (Korsakov) in pills; Handmade 0/1 and 0/8 in Millesimal from my clinic (Dr Chetna N Shukla)
  2. All potencies will be available at a pharmacy in UK in a short while (will be announced later)

Clinical Study Team:

Clinical Study Team:   The team included myself and Dr Amitrai Shah from Surat.  He agreed to let me supervise and prescribe for cases from his clinic and follow directions of administering charted out by me.   

OBJECTIVES:

  • Study 1: In patients: To study the effect of SarsCov-2 19 Nosode (referred to as SCN henceforth) in 30Ck in disease of Covid 19 and sequelae.
  • Study 2: In healthy Humans: To study the effect of SCN in 06 Ck ( low potency) in healthy human beings ( Part III of article).

SHORT NOTE ON NOSODE, IMMUNIZATION & VACCINATION

Immunization and Vaccination are two different concepts.

Immunization is the natural process of developing immunity. Immunization happens when you get the viral disease or are exposed to the disease. As a result, your body builds up its own immunity by developing antibodies. Immunity can be for life and does not require booster shots.

It is stated that immune responses can also be produced by vaccines.  It is stated that vaccination confers an artificially acquired immunity to the specific viral infection. Vaccination is based on the idea of priming the immune system with the organism that’s been killed or attenuated and for it to develop antibodies so that next time you are exposed, your immune system reacts quickly and you don’t actually get sick.

If a person develops a positive antibody response following vaccination, that vaccination is stated to be successful. But none of the vaccinated individuals are ever tested for antibody titers/ levels in blood after getting vaccinated to examine the efficacy of that vaccine.

Examples: MMR vaccine  contains live measles, mumps and rubella viruses that have been weakened (attenuated) along with inactive ingredients: sorbitol, sucrose, hydrolyzed gelatin, recombinant human albumin, fetal bovine serum, other buffer and media ingredients, neomycin etc.

The BCG vaccine has a live culture preparation of the Bacillus of Calmette and Guerin (BCG) strain of Mycobacterium bovis, the TICE strain.  The medium in which the TICE- BCG organism is grown for preparation of the freeze-dried cake is composed of the following ingredients: glycerin, asparagine, citric acid, potassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, and iron ammonium citrate. The small pox vaccine contains live vaccinia virus.

Vaccines contain pathogens

Vaccines work through the individual’s immune system and essentially rely on it to evoke a response for that individual to be protected. If your immune system is inefficient and does not get primed after vaccination, you are not protected.

The present pandemic of Covid- 19 is caused by a new virus. When a disease is new, there is no vaccine until one is developed. There is a global race among pharma industries to develop a vaccine as soon as possible. Seven Indian pharma companies are in a race to produce Covid vaccine as of July 2020, and 23 U.S. companies according to a US news report.

It can take considerable time to develop a new safe and effective vaccine. Meanwhile we all have to rely on our inherent immune system, immune boosting foods and practices (Yoga, Homoeopathy, Ayurveda etc.) based on our time-tested traditional knowledge. The AYUSH Ministry announced Arsenicum album 30 CK as an immune booster. This can be administered to a general population.

NOSODES

Nosodes (from the Greek nosos, disease) are biological preparations used in homeopathic medicine to prevent disease. The concept of Nosodes as therapy was advanced by our founder Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843). Nosodes are medicines derived from an element of a disease or from diseased tissue, defined as “a homoeopathically prepared remedy made from an infectious disease product either directly from the bacteria or virus, or less directly from a tissue purported to contain it”.

Nosodes are based on the same idea as the vaccine, but Nosodes cannot be classified as vaccines.  Nosodes are preparations made from pathogens, products of pathogens or pathologically altered tissue. These are potentised (attenuated) according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. Nosodes like all homoeopathic medicines are administered orally through an open system. Vaccines are administered hypodermically (injection) and the contents of the vaccine stay in circulation (which is a closed system).

Nosodes are more than 100 years old and have been utilized by homoeopaths effectively the world over since then. Psorinum, Medorrhinum, Syphillinum and Variolinum are some of the Nosodes.

Psorinum, proved by Dr Constantine Hering in 1830, is prepared from the fluid of blisters from scabies infested skin. Medorrhinum is prepared from the urethral discharge of a patient having gonorrhoea. Syphilinum was prepared by Swan in 1880 from Syphilis.

Variolinum is the contents of the ripened pustule of smallpox. Small pox and measles viruses are among the oldest that infect humans. Small pox is believed to be eradicated. Until I prepared the SarsCov-2 19 Nosode I was utilizing the remedial effects of Variolinum 200 and 1M in my clinic during the Covid 19 pandemic along with the constitutional remedy of the patient.

Variolinum in my experience works as a broad spectrum anti-viral. It has been in use in homoeopathy for decades as a first form of defence in most viral infections. The best indicated medicine is a nosode specific to that pathogen (virus/ bacteria) responsible for the disease/ epidemic /pandemic.  

According to principles of Homoeopathy, indications of Nosode/s are:

Genus epidemicus during an epidemic

  • Constitutional medicine based on symptom similarity
  • Preventive in susceptible individuals who exhibit symptoms that are an archetype of the disease
  • Anti-miasmatic to clear the miasma during and after the pandemic
  • Anti-misamatic for future generations who inherit the miasma through their parents who suffered the trauma of the epi/pandemic

There is ample clinical evidence in homoeopathy that Nosodes are safe and effective. But there is scanty recorded evidence regarding Nosodes correcting the abnormal laboratory tests (in Covid 19 infection we refer to inflammatory markers).

STUDY 1

Law of Similars: Study 1 aims at establishing that the Sars Cov-2 19 Virus that causes the Covid 19 disease is, in the potentized form (Nosode), capable of curing the disease that it can cause.

COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 RNA virus

Despite the fact that most cases have mild symptoms and a good prognosis, COVID-19 can develop into ARDS and even death.  In allopathic medicine, anti-inflammatory agents for COVID-19 therapy highlight the critical role of inflammation in the progression of COVID-19. In a study, it has been concluded that inflammatory markers, especially Neutrophil count, Lymphocyte count, CRP, PCT (Procalcitonin), IL-6, ESR, SGOT (AST), SGPT (ALT), LDH and Ferritin were positively correlated with the severity of COVID-19.

STUDY 1: THE CLINICAL TRIAL OF SarsCov-2 19 Nosode in 30 CK in patients of Covid 19   

INFLAMMATORY MARKERS UNDER STUDY  

Early recognition of susceptibility to COVID-19 infection is absolutely essential in times of pandemic and especially in older patients and those with pre-existing illness. Inflammatory markers such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Procalcitonin (PCT), Ferritin, and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) have been reported to be significantly associated with the high risks of the development of severe COVID-19 .

Certain affordable and available laboratory markers were used during the clinical study of SCN medicine…

  1. Blood  reports
  • CBC  reflecting Leucopenia, Lymphopenia, Leukocytosis, High Neutrophil count
  • CRP count: Raised
  • Ferritin levels: Raised
  • Liver enzymes: SGOT, SGPT & Lactate Dehydrogenase : Raised
  • Coagulation parameters: D-dimer : Raised
  • Procalcitonin in children : Raised
  • IL-6 ( Inter leukin -6)
  1. Chest Examination
  • Chest X ray
  • CT Scan where indicated
  • MRI scan where indicated
  1. SpO2 levels: Blood Oxygen levels via Oximeter in cases with symptoms of throat affection, breathlessness and lung involvement
  2. Other relevant investigations related to co-morbidity

THE PRESCRIPTION PLAN ACCORDING TO SYMPTOMS:

  1. SCN 30CK with Kali Mur 6x: Cases with presence of inflammatory markers without any individualizing symptoms to be prescribed on.
  2. SCN 30 CK along with Antim-ars 200: Cases with lung involvement (mild to moderate) along with presence of inflammatory markers. The potency and repetition to be adjusted depending on the change in symptoms/ change in X ray findings
  3. SCN 30 CK along with Antim- ars 200 or 1m and /or Ozone 200: Cases with lung involvement (moderate to severe) along with presence of inflammatory markers to be prescribed depending on indications. The potency and repetition to be adjusted depending on the change in symptoms/ change in X ray findings
  4. SCN 30 CK and Kali mur or Antim ars with Lachesis: Cases with high D-dimer along with co-morbidity and lung involvement
  5. SCN 30 CK with Pre-established constitutional: Cases with pre-existing illness
  6. Cases to be reviewed frequently, every 2 -3 days or depending on comfort and affordability of patient
  7. To prescribe the Simillimum if individualizing examination indicates another medicine other than those mentioned in above mentioned 1 to 6 criteria

Indications for Kali- mur: Kali mur in 6x is a tissue salt is known to assist the body in relief of symptoms of colds, sore throat and coryza.

Indications for Antim ars: As it is best indicated in cases of “Catarrhal Pneumonia associated with Influenza”- Pocket Manual of Homoeopathic Materia Medica & Repertory- By William Boericke

Indications for Ozone: Difficult respiration; cough with/ throat rawness/ deep respiration impossible. Not having enough air to breath, cannot take a deep inspiration. These symptoms are commonly present in ILF

Indications for Lachesis: There is risk of thrombosis and bleeding in the Covid 19 infection, depicted by D-dimer levels. Lachesis is for eliminating the risk of thrombosis and bleeding. It has been reported that abnormal D-dimer levels are associated with poor prognosis.

The Evaluation…

  1. SCN can be Preventive: Preventing the Covid 19 infection / disease by correcting the inflammatory markers in a short time without the disease extending to vital organs.
  2. SCN can be Curative: During infection in lungs
  3. SCN can be curative For Sequelae: For after effects of Covid 19 infection e.g. ILF, PTSD, post covid psychosis etc. (bringing into range the relevant abnormal laboratory findings)

OTHER INDICATIONS OF SarsCov-2 19 NOSODE

We are aware that war and conflict do not just affect the health and well-being of people who experience it directly. It can potentially have long term consequences for future generations. It is observed that children from war-torn areas of the globe are affected by trauma even before they are born.

The Covid-19 pandemic may have a traumatic effect not just on the health and well-being of people who lived through the pandemic, but it can have psychologically harming influence on children conceived and or born around these times. According to homoeopathic theory, such children may carry the Covid 19 miasma, and the SarsCov-2 19 nosode can help clear the miasma thus created.

I have not included cases of individuals with psychological impact and mental trauma including fear, anxiety, depression, panic, uncertainty etc. that benefited from the SarsCov-2 19 Nosode.

Special Note: More and more individuals are choosing homoeopathy to treat Covid 19 infections in our clinics and some are under exclusive homoeopathic treatment. We have other patients with ongoing treatment on the above-mentioned protocol.

These cases will be included in future articles.  I am also maintaining records of patients who  crossed over to hospitals for allopathy,  due to one of several reasons including : (1) regulations due to epidemic Laws, (2) tremendous fear manufactured around Covid 19 infection (3)  they requiring inpatient management due to co- morbidity and complications, (4) family pressure and anxiety.

I appreciate the excellent inpatient management system of allopathic system of medicine. In conjunction with their inpatient management this nosode has shown promising results in achieving freedom from Covid 19 in 2020.

  • As a health provider I have joined a Canadian Facebook page called “Long Haulers Support Group Canada” to understand the symptoms and problems they are facing. Your work on the nosode is a ray of hope for all those suffering from post-COVID19 who are desperate to find a solution to the myriad of symptoms they are experiencing and for which conventional medicine has no answers and are constantly living in fear of never recovering. If you think it is appropriate, you may wish to join that group and share information as you see fit. I would also personally like to keep up with your research and find out how and where to obtain the nosode for my own patients. Thank you

    • Dear Mirelle Fanous,
      Please write to me also on my e mail address provided with the article and I will help you get the Nosode.
      Thank you

  • Very interesting article and report. Thanks for publishing – and looking forward to when the SCN remedy may become available in the US.

  • DEAR DRS,
    WE ARE ALL PROUD OF YOUR INVENTION ON NOSODE OF SARS COV 19. HOMEOPATHY HAS AT-LEAST PROVED TO BE HEAD OF ALL PATHIES. AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE NOT HAPPY THAT MANUFACTURING OF THE NOSODE WAS GIVEN TO UK WHERE AS WE HAVE BEST MANUFACTURES IN INDIA ITSELF.
    THANKS &REGARDS
    DR C S GUPTA

    • Dear Dr C S Gupta
      Thank you for your appreciation.
      I request you to share with me contact details of Indian manufacturers of Homoeopathic medicines, I will willingly share the base potency with them.
      The medicine should be available to all.
      Thank you

      • Hello ma’am
        The cases treated and discovery of covid nosode is a wonderful boon to the current pandemic.
        This nosode should be available to all.
        Could help me get this medicine? Thank you.

  • Interesting study and thanks for sharing it. Nevertheless, with the data presented and the pluralist prescription made in all patients, the conclusions made are quite surprising and certainly weak, as they are multiple variables that could interfere in the results. As homeopaths we have to be rigorous and scientific. The effect of the sars-covid nosode in covid19 patients is NOT clear in this publication and I encourage the author to use the nosode alone, without any other homeopathic remedies, to study it properly.
    Also, there is an statement saying that the nosode is the genus epidemicus of the same disease epidemic… this is clearly a wrong concept following classic homeopathy and it sould have some references to support it. Classical homeopaths, and M Tyler as well, were highly reluctant of using the nosode to cure the same disease as the results were always bad. For example, it’s quite known that Tuberculinum has NOT proven to be a good remedy to cure acute tuberculosis.
    Despite of my doubts about your conclusions, studying the sars-covid nosode it’s certainly an interesting issue and we should be encourage other colleagues to do research about it.

    • Dr Shukla was treating people who were ill with a new and potentially dangerous disease using the best of her homoeopathic knowledge and skill in a clinical setting. The nosode is a new potential weapon to help fight the disease in the field. She was not performing a study to see what the effect of the new unproven nosode was by itself – with people sick and in danger that would be unethical to “test” just the nosode on them. She treated them with other homoeopathic remedies with known effects and additionally added the nosode to see if that could help as well. Should she just have tried Tuberculinum or a whooping cough nosode (if there is one) instead for instance without even bothering to develop a nosode at all? Well then, we would never make any new nosodes if we took the attitude that it’s won’t be the best thing to fight the pathogen it was derived from in the first place! Maybe we will find better things in future and find the Sars-COV2 nosode is better at treating something else but when the disease first arises clearly the homoeopathic approach is to derive a nosode from it and use that. Quantum physics – apply the same waveform back in anti-phase and it will cancel it out like active noise cancellation technology.

  • Thank you very much for this beautiful article. This is really great & helpful. I appreciate your writing skills & thoughts. At present time the covid situation is getting worsened. This article will help people to be aware & maintain social distance.

  • Could I purchase the nosode from you directly?? I am in India only. You mention to have an email adress, but I dont find it. Could you give it here, so I can write you my details?
    Regards Archana Hattendorf

  • Hallo, ich möchte gerne diese Shukla-Nosode Corona kaufen und finde nirgends eine Möglichkeit. Ich hörte einen Vortrag von Wiet van Helmond
    Ich bin in Deutschland. Danke und viele Grüße

  • Thank you for sharing your experience with us Dr Chetna. If you are using the nosode along with other remedies at the same time, how can you be certain of the healing effect of the nosode? (whether the person healed because of classical remedies or because of nosode or which helped more etc). Is it possible to identify this? Thanks.
