I share a suspected Covid case from Turkey. The patient was our student in CHE (Center for Homeopathic Education) College in İstanbul. There is no curfew in Turkey and he was working until March 26th.
26th of March: The doctor at his workplace prescribed antibiotic,expectorant, chest xray and and hemogram test. The patient phoned me and said he didn’t want to go to hospital, which he said was very risky, so we started to use homeopathy as a treatment
CASE – Male age 33
DAY 1
When he phoned me on 26th March, he said that he had burning pain in his throat for the last 3 days, dry cough with chest pain and left sided headache. He had taken Bry. 30 c last night and he had taken 3 doses up to that day but it didn’t help. He said the worst symptom was burning in his larynx.
Mild left sided headache. Dry cough with chest pain. Feels slightly weak and anxiou.s

I decided to give Bryonia even though he said that he took it first and it didn’t work. We started to collect information from the outbreak in Turkey. Bryonia seems one of the main remedies for the outbreak in our area.

congratulations
kalicarb topmost symptom catch advice,this remedy most tricky even top old masters admitted.
Without allopathy medicines,treating with homeopathy medicines is a wonderful example
Thank you for sharing -detailed, step by step example. Lucky patient with such doctor, following up am and pm- beautiful! Bless you and be safe .
DEAR DR,
YOU HAVE HANDLED THE CASE VERY WELL EXCEPT YOU USED BELLADONNA AT A VERY LATE STAGE. BELL IS THE BEST REMEDY FOR SUDDEN FEVER, HEAD ACHE, THROAT PAIN AND SHORT DRY COUGH ACCORDING TO DR BOERICKE
regards
thanks for your comments. Belladona worked very well for heaviness fo head( fulness one temple to another) with sudden movement, it was most disturbing symptoms at that moment and disaapperad with BELL. Best wishes to all of us
Dear doctor, case is very nicely described, but I don’t understand why you are using only 30c potency for a covid case? If you had used 200c/1M potencies case would have taken less time to recover. Don’t understand why homeopaths don’t want to try higher potencies which act quickly and cure faster. 30c is ok for babies.
