In 2002, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) reported that 75 percent of Germans have used complementary or natural medicine (24). They also reported that 5,700 doctors received specialized training in natural medicine, with this number doubling to 10,800 by 2000. Homeopathic medicine is practiced by 4,500 medical doctors in Germany, almost twice as many as did so in 1994.

The German government conducted this survey, and it also discovered that there was a 33 percent reduction in sick days if people used natural therapies, especially homeopathy or acupuncture. It was also reported that women used natural therapies more than men did, but when men used them, they benefited more than women did.

New Horizons – Evidence for Homeopathy: Dr. Raj Kumar Manchanda Dr. Raj Kumar Manchanda discusses ‘India’s Initiatives for International Collaboration in Homoeopathic Research’ during the ‘New Horizons in Water Science – ...

RADIUM IN HOMOEOPATHY WITH PERIODIC TABLE DESCRIPTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOETUS....................stages of human development, such as conception, existence, fetal life, birth, identity, nourishment, security, work, creativity, performance, responsibility and leadership overlay the Periodic Table of the Elements in a predictable and systematic manner. Through an understanding of the relationship among the stages of human development, the organization of the Periodic Table and a patient’s story and words, the homeopath is much more likely to arrive at a correct remedy.

Through an analysis of several “mineral” patients’ dialogues, Dr. Gandhi clearly identified the exact stages of human development in which the individual was stuck. “Patients needing mineral remedies,” he notes, are “stuck in a certain stage of development.” For example, in the case of a patient needing Hydrogen, the developmental phase in which the patient was fixated related to a state before the structure (fetus) had even begun to form. Another individual’s story repeatedly utilized words and descriptions that made it clear on an unconscious level he was talking about “a return to the womb.”

As identified below, each row in the Periodic Table relates to specific stages of development.

Row One – Hydrogen: Existence and Conception;
Row Two – Lithium: Separation.
Row Three – Natrum: Identity (the infant line)
Row Four – Calcium: Security, Tasks, Finances, Job, House.
Row Five – Rubidium: Creativity and Performance
Row Five – Barium: Responsibility and Leadership
Row Six – Radium: Disintegration, Death, the “Blank,” pure energy

Dr. Gandhi elaborated noting that as one proceeds across a row from left to right of the Periodic Table, the traits or stages of development build, climax and then begin to disintegrate the father one goes to the right. For example, he explained, “Many individuals with panic disorders need remedies from Row Two, the Lithium line.” Therefore, moving from left to right across the Lithium row, one can identify the stages of the birth process reflected in each element.

Lithium – the baby is still part of the mother. The process of childbirth has not yet begun. He gave the illustration of a child having difficulty growing up, and being unable to detach from her parents. The individual would like to have remained in a “protective environment, i.e., the womb.” For example, the patient might say, “I go into a shell, want to shut myself out from the world.”

Beryllium – the baby has completed nine months in the womb. It is the beginning of the process of separation, but the baby is still very connected. The question becomes, “I have been comfortable for 9 months, should I change?” This reflects a person who can’t change, can’t separate from the parents. They may stay in the same job forever. “I am in the womb, I can move around, but I can’t imagine not being here,” and “I can’t exist without them.”

Boron – the infant is descending the birth canal. The baby has emerged from the uterus and is moving down the birth canal. The feelings become, “Do I want to be attached or do I want to be separated?” The individual may have a fear of downward motion. He/she may be hesitant, confused about his identity and feel like a robot or puppet because the parents control. The individual wants to hold on. As children, they had to obey and didn’t feel heard. What was said as a child was of no significance to the parent.

Carbon – reflects further descent and engagement. Now there is no going back. This is the “get set stage.” The questions become, “Can I be on my own or do I need to remain here? I have to let go. Can I let go? Am I capable of being on my own?”
Nitrogen – The baby is still bound to the mother and now has to be released. Thus there is an attachment to the mother figure which gets too claustrophobic (bound) which has to be released (like a gas). The feeling is, “I don’t want to be bound, I want to be released and free, nothing should bind me.”

Oxygen – The stage where the baby is released and takes its first breath. The patient views support as completely suffocating and damaging. “It’s like taking my air away.” Individuals may be totally indifferent and aggressive towards the slightest advice or support from the parents. They are “combustible” in their approach.

Fluorine– The umbilical cord is cut. The baby and mother are now two distinct individuals. Consequently, attachment to a person becomes burdensome and the separate (i.e., Fluoric Acid: capacity to destroy relationships – Delusion: betrothal, engagement must be broken).
Neon – the feeling is being content with the separation, but feeling exposed and vulnerable thus needing to develop nourishment and protection within the self, without the need for the womb..... RADIUM BROMIDE..... Element Name: Radium
Atomic Number: 88
Atomic Symbol: Ra
Atomic Mass: (226) The sole object of a remedy should be to increase the reaction of the body against disease. For prescribing, the qualities which characterize the reaction caused by a drug are not the physical or the chemical or the obscure physiological ones; they are the effects which a child can describe or its mother observes where the child has been poisoned by a drug. The other qualities are important but not essential.

The chemical and physical properties of Radium are intensely interesting, so striking are they that it is difficult to force them into the background while studying Radium therapeutically. Its spectacular qualities not only obscure its essential characteristics but tempt the careless to try it on the slightest clinical indications.

Cases of Arthritis, Neuritis, Psoriasis, Enuresis, Arteriosclerosis and Rhus poisoning have been reported cured; most of its verifications are of Arthritis. Many verifications of symptoms have been reported and many of the clinical cases have been very striking. Few, however, have been linked up in such a manner that one can determine, from the reports, on precisely what indications the remedy has been prescribed.

Of cases of chronic Arthritis reported by His, where Radium was used empirically, 2½% were cured and about 47% were benefited. It causes pain in all the Provers and these pains are located both in the muscles and the joints; to understand the remedy, we must study the character of the pains, their predominant localities and their modalities. All parts of the body are affected, but the great toe joints and the Sacrolumbar regions are the most important seats of pain. The pains are of two predominant types, sharp pains (in some cases described as lightning-like) coming or going suddenly, or coming slowly and going gradually. These are apt to change places and in some cases go from side to side. The other type of pain is a severe, dull, aching, ranging from a pain situated deeply in the joints, to an aching all over the body, which torments the patient to a restless moving about all night, leaving him exhausted next day. The type comes on gradually and slowly wears away. Often the pains are hard to describe. Throughout the Proving appears relief from continued motion, though often motion aggravates at first. Pressure relieves and warmth is disagreeable. Radium causes a marked desire for relief in the open air. It should be noted that there is great weakness from the lumbar region down, a sort of paretic languor and great desire to stretch the muscles, which stretching gives relief. Sometimes nothing relieves the pains; they simply gradually wear away. Although local heat is disagreeable, there is marked relief of pains and other symptoms from a hot bath.

Vasomotor disturbances occur so that some experience a sensation of internal chilliness, relieved by warmth, and others have a sensation of heat all over, so that they have to throw off the clothing. Another expression of this same type is a feeling as if the whole body were on fire, with the sharpest kind of needle pricks. In the Provings there is no record of any actual increase of temperature. Many of the symptoms appear late in the afternoon and continue until after supper. Most symptoms are better after eating. The peculiar dis-equilibrium of the Radium atom seems to be equalled by the lack of equilibrium it causes in human beings, for Vertigo is a marked symptom: “so dizzy had to walk with the hand against the wall,” “tendency to fall to the left,” are expressions used by the experimenters. This symptom is entirely relieved in the open air and when lying down, but remains when sitting, and is brought on or increased on rising............................ To sum up these generalities, note the peculiar pains and their locations, especially in the toe joints and the lumbosacral region; paretic weakness from the lumbar region down; persistence of the pains gradually wearing away; aggravation from motion but relief from continued motion; general aching with restlessness; relief from hot bath; amelioration from pressure; aggravation in the late afternoon until after supper; relief after eating; overwhelming Vertigo; marked craving for and relief in the open air. Remember that all the foregoing appeared early and characterized the first attempt at reaction. But many organs and functions are disturbed and a knowledge of them must enter into our understanding. Headache is a prominent symptom. Like the pains in the muscles and the joints, there is in the head two types – a dull pain anywhere from a simple dullness to an intense, dull, incapacitating ache. This type is usually in the occiput or forehead, at times in the vertex.

These headaches are better in the open air, better from cold, better from pressure and aggravated from lying down. The other type of headache is characterized by sharp pain which sometimes becomes throbbing. Usually beginning in the right temple or over the right eye and extending backward to the occiput, or upward the vertex. Sometimes it is on the left side; in one Prover, pain began in the occiput and extended up over to the right eye. The aggravations and ameliorations are the same as described before, although in one case warmth relieved and pressure aggravated. The muscles of the eyes are affected by the same paretic weakness as are those of the extremities and ptosis occurs, so that sometimes the eye has to be opened with the fingers. The right eye is more affected than the left. Sharp pains occur over and in the eyeballs. Radium causes the lids and conjunctiva to become inflamed and irritated with a feeling of dryness. There is also a sensation of soreness and burning. In one Proving, the right eye was inflamed and yellow discharge formed that ran down the nose and formed yellow crusts. The nasal mucous membrane becomes dry and hard crusts form in the nostrils. In the lower respiratory tract marked symptoms develop. It causes irritation and soreness of the throat, with inflammation beginning on the right side. This is followed in a day by tickling in the larynx, which causes a severe dry, spasmodic cough. This is worse at night and when lying down, and it is impossible to suppress the cough after it once starts. It is relieved in the open air. The irritation is in the larynx and the suprasternal fossa, as though dust was in the throat. Dryness appears to be a characteristic of Radium bromide, as appears from the symptoms in the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. It causes rawness and dryness of the throat and the hacking of small amounts of white stringy mucus. The throat symptom is relieved by a drink of cold water and swallowing. It causes a sensation of a lump in the throat. The cough is irritated by smoking and from being indoors, better out of doors and after eating. Expectoration is usually absent, and if present is scanty and stringy, yellow or white. Note that there is a consistency in the character of yellow discharge from the eyes, the yellow, stringy discharge from the throat and the crusts from the nostrils. The cough does not seem to originate below the larynx, though there is a constriction of the chest that centers about the heart and is accompanied by palpitation and sharp pain. The same character of dryness is observed in the mouth. The sensation in the mouth is dry and parched and one must sip cold water to moisten the mouth. The breath feels hot. The tongue becomes coated with a bluish white and is thick and feels swollen, so that speech is difficult. This last is probably due to the paretic state of the muscles. The teeth become painful and feel too long. In one Prover a gum-boil formed on the lower jaw back of the molars and she could not talk on account of the soreness and swelling. The mouth has a metallic taste.

The digestive function is disturbed as shown by the coated tongue, also by the symptoms related to the appetite, stomach and bowels. Radium causes a craving for fresh air, lasting for several weeks. Dr. C.M. BOGER says this symptom is occasionally observed in persons who later have consumption. Aversion to sweets is marked, also a mild craving for sour. Like many of the antipsoric remedies it causes an all-gone, empty feeling in the stomach. This is relieved by eating, but a small amount of food satisfies. Much gas is formed throughout the digestive tract. There is an eructation of tasteless gas. The sum of its effects on the digestion is sluggishness. Lower down, gas rumbles around in the abdomen and causes sharp, colicky pains. These pains are better when the flatus passes or the bowels move. Pressure, bending double, and heat also relieve. Much flatus passes without pain; at times quite offensive. McBurney’s point is the seat of sharp pains which come and go quickly. A physician, after one dose of the 30th, suffered for three months with pain in the epigastrium, like a bruise on the second day. He lost fifteen pounds in these three months and in two years has not regained his former weight. At times, griping localizes around the navel. The stools are markedly changed in character, but the effects are so varied as to be difficult to sum up. It causes both Constipation and Diarrhoea, which may alternate. The soft stools vary in different Provers, from clay color to watery brown or yellow. The points that stand out most prominently are that the stools are apt to come with a gush, even though normal in character, and are accompanied with much flatus and the passage of the stools relieve all abdominal and re**al distress. Sharp stitches occur in the re**um. Upon hearing the abdominal and stool symptoms, Dr. BOGER remarked: “Radium must be a great gout remedy.” The muscular effects of Radium are manifested in the bladder, causing great difficulty in starting the urine. Clinically it has cured enuresis, a condition naturally following retention through muscular weakness. The sexual organs are disturbed both in men and women. In men emissions are frequent with dreams. The effect on women Provers was to make the menstrual period easier and stop the usual monthly headache. It causes delayed and intermittent menstruation. It causes also a white, cheesy Leucorrhoea. The skin hardly escapes a remedy of the magnitude of Radium bromide. It causes macules, papules and pustules, which itch and burn, are aggravated from scratching, and better in the open air. It causes a general scaly eruption, with desquamation of large amount of dry, branlike scales without sensation. Sebaceous cysts develop under its influence. Very significant is its effect in causing Bunions and Corns to become inflamed and tender. The last to be studied, because appearing last in the Proving, are the mental symptoms. There is irritability and touchiness, which tend to develop into Depression. Great apprehension as though something was going to happen, characterizes the Depression. Provers got blue and discouraged and disliked to be alone. The desire to have someone near is particularly marked. Fear of being alone in the dark. The mental state projects itself into the dreams, which are vivid and troubled. “Dreams of fire, and when waking it is hard to realize that she has been dreaming”. Bad dreams at night and low-spirited by day.

Reviewing all these local symptoms note how the general modalities already mentioned appear. In addition, the right side is affected more than the left, the right side of the throat, and in some cases pains are more in the right side of the body. Cold usually ameliorates and warmth is not agreeable, though warm bathing gives marked relief. Dr. BOGER reports a case of Neuritis in which burning pains relieved by a hot bath were his indication. All abdominal symptoms and some general ones are relieved by passage of gas up and down and by defecation. One Prover, after the 30th had pain in an old empyema scar every time the weather changed. Even now, two years later, always before a storm he becomes exhausted and has bruised pains deep in the joints. Of less specific interest as therapeutic guides, but of general interest as showing the ultimate result of the disturbances of reaction, are the tissue changes induced. Albumin and casts appear in the urine, showing that either the kidneys are deranged through the effects of the Radium as it is excreted, or that the Radium has a specific action on these organs. The urine was radioactive from the dilution used in the Proving, so that the kidneys may have been irritated by the drug.

Acute conditions accompanied by much pain such as Grippe, inflammatory Rheumatism, Neuralgia and Neuritis, fall within its scope. It is related symptomatically to Rhus tox and Rhus radicans and often cures where these help but do not hold. Intractability seems to be one of its keynotes in rheumatic conditions. Digestive symptoms and modalities relate it to Lycopodium and Pulsatilla. Its catarrhal symptoms are like Kali b**hromicum and Kali carbonicum. It resembles Causticum even more closely and complements it.

There is a variability about the action of Radium, in that it affects different people differently, e.g. in one, there is a marked aggravation before a storm and in wet weather. In my verifications, this has been absent, but there has been intolerance of summer heat. The chauffeur Prover had no pains, but only weakness, a stiff feeling and Vertigo. One young man Prover simply developed a frontal Headache with no modalities.

This variability makes it a hard remedy to understand. Low potencies should not be used. Dangerous aggravations have occurred from the 30th.

We probably wouldn't know it from his stunning performance; A.R.RAHMAN the winner of two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards and many other awards has trouble with stage fright. But knew from an interview, the Mozart of Madras admitted that his fear is “that I’m not going to deliver...that people aren’t going to enjoy it… that I’ll ruin their love for my songs by doing them live. I feel sick. I get a bit panicky.” Precisely we would never know from anyone, even from the World Champion of Public Speaking, MANOJ VASUDEVAN their tensions, anxiety, etc at the stage though all are not physical most of them are mental and psychological.

In homoeopathy, these are precisely the kind of emotional symptoms that can help us find the best homeopathic remedy for individuals. Combine these with physical, mental and psychological symptoms; with a list of "modalities" (things that make you feel better or worse) you will have a better chance to make a profound impact on your health with homoeopathy.
Today Communication is the backbone of our society. It allows us to form connections, influence decisions, and motivate change. Without communication skills, the ability to progress in the working world and in life, itself, would be nearly impossible. Public speaking is one of the most important and most dreaded forms of communication. Glossophobia or speech anxiety is the most common fear people have across the globe. Throughout primary school, it is easy to be the student who sits in the back of the classroom and avoids raising his or her hand to dodge such situations. But in the working world, public speaking is a vital skill to have and to hone. It effects simple, everyday interactions between coworkers, bosses and employees, marketing professionals and clients, etc., and it can have an enormous impact on your career path and your level of success in your industry.

I get the query all the time “how do I know the best treatment “or “how do I know the treatment is available in homomoeopathy” or "how do I know what is the best homeopathic remedy for me?" For those, you have to be open to understanding these emotional symptoms and modalities as well as the physical. While watching Mr.RAHMAN orMr.MANOJ, it got us thinking about how individuals handle visible and non-visible stage fright and the nervousness around all types of performances. I came up with a short list of homeopathic remedies for stage fright. Maybe you're not going to be performing on the Academy Awards or competing for the World Public Speech Competition any time soon, but these homoeopathic remedies can help with public speaking, meetings, and presentations including all types of public engagements in our day to day life so as to bring excellence.

1. Stage Fear
Its symptoms ‘paralyzed by fear’ are most pronounced when having to perform. If you’ve ever forgotten your lines while on stage, or blanked out on a question in an interview and stood there totally dumbfounded, you know just what this is like. If dullness of mind, upset 'butterfly' stomach or even anticipation-induced diarrhea prevails over any situation, homeopathic remedy can calm nerves to help bring out the best. Its anticipatory nerves disturb, even paralyze, mental and physical coordination. Homeopathy’s best action is on quiet, timid, often low spirited loners who fill with apathy and want to be left alone. They dread public speaking, exams– any kind of ordeal; fear losing control and falling; and under stress, lack physical, mental and emotional will power. Often its heavy dull disorders follow bad or disappointing news or even a spell of great excitement (ups or downs). It is often referred to as the 4 D’s remedy for Dull, Drowsy, D***y and Dazed.
…and the remedy is Gelsemium.
2. Over-confidence and under confidence
From nerves and indecision to colds and digestive troubles, this homeopathy’s range is extensive, especially for those who worry and battle with self confidence (too much and too little). If you could assume this homoeo remedy as a towering tree-like structure which over time has been reduced to a small evergreen shrub, you get a feel for the two-sidedness of this remedy’s personality. The same as a towering tree-like structure which over time has been reduced to a small evergreen shrub, you get a feel for the two-sidedness of this remedy’s personality. Its descriptions are full of seemingly contradictory terms: inflated ego & inferiority problems, tyrannous at home & timid at school, mentally sharp & physically dull, haughty & lacks confidence, driven to succeed & lacks self discipline... It has proven very helpful to children, especially boys, who are full of indecision, worry and exam/performance nerves, who generally perform perfectly when in the spotlight. They may fear failure, new things or new people and become shy and introverted, or learn to compensate by bragging, bullying and acting aggressively.
…and the remedy is Lycopodium
3. Restless and anxiousness
The confirming symptoms that identify the need for homoeo remedy include: restless worry-filled anxiousness, pale anxious face, hypersensitivity, burning symptoms that feel better with heat, cravings for small sips of water and a tendency to be very chilly. In the mental, emotional spectrum, this homeopathic remedy ranks among the most restless, anxious remedies. Though important at times for all of us, this can mean the most to individuals needing balancing relief for restless insecurities, compulsive cleaning and many fears, including losing control, fear of death, illness, poverty, crowds and being alone. When all is not well, their discontent may turn to despair.
…and the remedy is Arsenicum album
4. Hoarseness of voice- Fractured Voice
The scope of Homeopathy in treating hoarseness of voice is higher than any other system. Usually recurrent hoarseness of voice is very difficult to cure and antibiotics usually won’t have any beneficial effects on hoarseness, since it is often caused by virus or strain. Homeopathy has excellent remedies to clear hoarseness or laryngitis. Treating to the core, it can strengthen the vocal cord and larynx to resist infection and withstand strain. It can avoid surgery in most of the cases. To have good response, it is the first duty of the physician to educate the sufferer about the disease, need for vocal rest and its care. Also it is essential to educate them to have precaution against strain and respiratory infections (cold, cough, flu, etc.) with hygienic measures, since they all can bring flare-ups during treatment.
Precipitation of the episode (hoarseness) usually varies from person to person. It is often found to be related to a particular season / event / incident. Also, with respect to disease or complaints, patient’s feelings too differ. For some, there will be betterment on continuous use of voice (better in the evening than in the morning). For some, it may get worsened with usage (better in the morning and worst in the evening) and for some others, clearing the throat can give some relief. Homeopathy stands here with individualization. In medicine selection, Homeopathy gives importance to the feelings / sensations, constitution of the patient, modalities (aggravating factors and ameliorating factors), to treat the nucleus of the suffering. With suitable medicines, Homeopathy can provide miraculous relief, shorten the suffering period and can resist further attacks by strengthening the immune system.

5. Chronic sore throat
Chronic sore throat can be quite discomforting as it can be a source of perpetual irritation or pain in a person’s throat. It is a chronic infection of the throat characterized by a constant irritation in the throat, with or without pain, and may be associated with hoarseness of voice in some patients. Homeopathic remedies promise a safe and successful recovery and relief from this condition as they address not just the symptoms of soreness but also its underlying factors.
Homoeopathy has favorite remedies for curing a chronic sore throat owing to their efficacy in assuaging the myriad manifestations of this condition.
…and the remedy is Capsicum, Ignatia, Psorinum, Phosphorous, Sulphur
These Medicines should be taken under the advice and diagnosis of a qualified Homeopath.
According to a study by the sociologist, Andrew Zekeri, “Oral communication skills were the number one skill that college graduates found useful in the business world.” Communication skills enhance your ability to interact with professionals and fellow colleagues in a qualified and composed manner. Public speaking improves these skills and thus, makes you a more worthy candidate to move up and succeed in your chosen field.
