Heartburn Meds Can Kill – 50% increased risk of death
Millions of people are prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPI’s) to treat heartburn and other gastrointestinal problems. H2 blockers are another drug used to reduce stomach acid. Researchers compared patients taking H2 blockers with those taking PPIs for one to two years, and found that those on PPIs had a 50% increased risk of dying over the next five years. Senior author Ziyad Al-Aly, MD, an assistant professor of medicine stated: “No matter how we sliced and diced the data from this large data set, we saw the same thing.”

3 Tips from Elizabeth Wright Hubbard MD
Magnesium
If Sulphur is the great unwashed, Magnesia carb is the great unloved, the illegitimate child. The child needing magnesium lacks creativity. Magnesia carb is to exhausted nerves, what China is to loss of blood. A magnesium deficiency in the diet is said to favor cancer.
Plumbum
Plumbum is one of the greatest remedies for hiccup and the remedy for aluminum poisoning (as Alumina is for Lead poisoning. )
Strontium Carbonicum
The predominant characteristic of Strontium Carbonicum is vehemence. The subject is impetuous, violent, passionate, quarrelsome and anxious. An emaciated patient with right sided complaints. Chilly, < draft and > from sun and warmth. The remedy lowers blood pressure and decalcifies aneurysm. It helps avert post operative pneumonia.

Phosphorus in Dengue
I had many successes with Phosphorus in the crisis of low platelet counts after dengue fever. Phos works as a specific in this pathology through a symptomatology of Phos : “Copious bleeding even from very small wounds.” (Clarke) This indicates the deficiency of platelet cells which is a barrier to arrest the bleeding by coagulation.Kindly communicate this to all our homeopathic doctors. I used L.M Potency Phos 0/1 for three days, 3 times a day.

Murder by Vaccine
Regarding a Hexavalent vaccine by GlaxoSmithKline that is being mandated in Italy, Dr. Andrew Wakefield said:

Some Tips from the Indian Homeopathic Review
Hiccough in the old or very weak is often relieved by Magnesia Phos. 6x.
When an otherwise normal person becomes cross, spiteful, snappy and generally hateful, give a dose of Chamomilla. This has been repeatedly verified in young children and infants, but it applies to adults as well.
A typical neurasthenic is often benefited by a course of Calcarea Carb.
When you have “ a cold in the head” that is better in the open air and worse indoors try Allium Cepa.
Where there is a yellow, acrid discharge from the eyes, Euphrasia may be the needed remedy.

Terrific Tips! It’s easy to see that a lot of care went into collecting these.
An excellent collection of important and useful tips!
Sir, in Tips & Secrets, when the remedy is indicated, it would be better to indicate the possible potency also for right away trial and then to change if need be.
Thanks,
V.S. Ramadass.
