Most People Think Of Pain As Resulting From Physical Injury Or Disease,but Psychological Factors Play A Huge Role In Pain Perception. Pain Is Intimately Tied To Brain Functions That Govern Behaviour And Decision Making, Including Expectation, Attention And Learning. Pain Makes One Feel Tired; It Is Mentally Draining, Making One More Irritable, Emotional And Unable To Remain Positive. It Is Hardly Surprising That As A Result, Things Can Rapidly Spiral Out Of Control. After All, If A Person Goes From Being Energetic, Fun-loving And Happy, To Being Edgy, Withdrawn And Lethargic Because Of The Pain, It Is Inevitable That Very Quickly Family & Social Relationships Begin To Change. An Employer Or Colleague Who Sees A Promising Employee Beginning To Look Tired, Stressed And Tearful, May Quickly Change Their Opinion About That Persons Abilities To Cope. A Definition Of Pain Pain Is Not Easy To Define. In 1979, The International Association For The Study Of Pain(iasp) Published Its First Working Definition Of Pain: an Unpleasant Sensory And Emotional Experience Associated With Actual Or Potential Tissue Damage, Or Described In Terms Of Such Damage. This Definition Emphasizes Not Just The Sensory Nature Of Pain And Its Relation To Tissue Injury, But Also Its Unpleasant Emotional Component And The Fact That It Can Be Felt Just The Same Without An Obvious Cause. The Definitions Significance Is Exemplified By Pain Lasting Beyond The Point Of Tissue Repair (spinal Cord Injuries) Or Appear Without Tissue Damage (migraines) Or Be Felt By Stimuli That Do Not Normally Evoke Pain, Like Lightly Touching The Skin (post Herpetic Neuralgia). So There Is Much More To Pain Than A Simple Sensory Process. Psychogenic Pain Psychogenic Pain, Also Called Psychalgia Or Somatoform Pain Is Pain Caused, Increased, Or Prolonged By Mental, Emotional, Or Behavioral Factors. Headache, Back Pain, And Stomach Pain Are Sometimes Diagnosed As Psychogenic. Sufferers Are Often Stigmatized, Because Both Medical Professionals And The General Public Tend To Think That Pain From A Psychological Source Is Not real. However, Specialists Consider That It Is No Less Actual Or Hurtful Than Pain From Any Other Source. the Term psychogenic Assumes That Medical Diagnosis Is So Perfect That All Organic Causes Of Pain Can Be Detected; Regrettably, We Are Far From Such Infallibility All Too Often, The Diagnosis Of Neurosis As The Cause Of Pain Hides Our Ignorance Of Many Aspects Of Pain Medicine. Ronald Melzack, 1996. Why Visit A Psychologist For Pain? One Might Wonder why Consult A Psychologist If I Have Pain? Are You Telling That The Pain Is All In My Brain? In One Word, No! Pain Is Seldom, If Ever Exclusively Psychologically Caused. However, The Mind And The Body Are Tied Together In Physiological & Philosophical Terms, And The Mind Can Either Be Of Incredible Help In Healing Or Can Be An Overwhelming Obstacle. Consulting A Psychologist Certainly Does Not State That The Pain Is All In The Persons Brain, As Unfortunately Some Clients Have Been Advised By Physicians Unable To Establish The Physical Basis Of The Pain. How Can Psychology Help? Psychology May Reverse Some Of The Impact Of The Pain Giving People A Greater Sense Of Control, Reducing Anxiety, Whilst Improving Memory, Concentration And Self-esteem. The Aim Is To Help People Work Out How To Live Their Life As Normally And In The Most Satisfying Way Possible, Despite The Pain. The Psychologist Will Not Tell How To Live Ones Life- After All You Are The Best Expert On How To Be Yourself. Our Role Is To Help One Explore And Discover What Things In Life Are Important And Meaningful, And What Factors Past And Present Stand In The Way Of Regaining Control Of His Or Her Life. Psychologists Assess And Treat Individuals Coping With Chronic Pain. Assessment Often Involves Examination Of Coping Skills And Looking For The Presence Of Depression, Post-traumaticstress And Other Disorders Which Can Occur In Chronic Pain And Traumatic Injuries. Psychologists Employ Treatment Strategies Such As Muscle Relaxation And Cognitive-behavioural Approach To Help Manage Pain And Improve Functioning. Chronic Pain Causes Disruption Of Self-esteem, Occupational & Family Roles. Stress Reactions And Pain Cause The Mind & Body To Become Aroused And Ready For Action. Increased Emotional And Physical Tension Accompany This State Which May Become Chronic, Resulting In Further Increased Pain, Reduction Of Function And Increased Risk Of Anxiety & Depression. Chronic Pain Sufferers May Find It Difficult To Focus On Things Other Than Their Pain, And Lose Access To The Satisfying Things They Previously Enjoyed. Others May Find It Difficult To Reduce Their Expectations And May Overdo Activities Resulting In Further Injuries Or A Cycle Of Overwork And Disability.

Multicare Adavnced Homoeopathy Treatment (maht) In Kidney Failure Chronic Kidney Failure Or Chronic Renal Failure (crf) Or Chronic Kidney Disease (ckd) The Different Name In One Disorder, The Kidney Failure Is A Fatal Disease Where The Bodys Waste Products Which Should Be Expelled Out From Our Body In The Form Of Urine Through Our Both Kidneys Cannot Be Excreted Out Due To Nonfunctioning Of Kidneys And That Leads To Multi Organ Failure. The Major Causes Of Chronic Kidney Failures Are Diabetes Mellitus (also Called Diabetic Nephropathy), Hypertension, Sle (lupus Nephropathy), Poly Cystic Kidneys, Renal Carcinoma (cancer). The Extension And Severity Of Damage In Kidney Tissues Can Be Evaluated Through Glomerulus Filtration Rate (gfr). Normal Kidney Function Gfr Above 90ml/min/1.73m2 And No Proteinuria The Severity Of Chronic Kidney Disease (ckd) Is Described By Five Stages; 1) Ckd1 Gfr Above 90ml/min/1.73m2 With Evidence Of Kidney Damage 2) Ckd2 (mild) Gfr Of 60 To 89 Ml/min/1.73m2 With Evidence Of Kidney Damage 3) Ckd3 (moderate) Gfr Of 30 To 59 Ml/min/1.73m2 4) Ckd4 (severe) Gfr Of 15 To 29 Ml/min/1.73m2 5) Ckd5 Kidney Failure - Gfr Less Than 15 Ml/min/1.73m2 Some People Add Ckd5d For Those Stage 5 Patients Requiring Dialysis; Many Patients In Ckd5 Are Not Yet On Dialysis Common Treatment Procedure There Are Three Procedures In Modern Medicine For Such Condition. 1. Symptomatic Medicines With Some Specific Medicines To Control The Causative Disease Such As Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Etc And Diuretics To Reduce The Oedematic Conditions. 2. Dialysis (haemodialysis Or Peritoneal Dialysis Depending On The Doctors Decision) 3. Kidney Transplantation Those Are Not The Curative Treatment Procedure For Kidney Failure Palliative Treatment Tries To Keeps A Person Alive By Performing The Crucial Functions Of The Kidneys By Dialysis Or Kidney Transplantation. But Homeopathic Treatment Stimulates Someone's Immune System To Perform Normal Functions - This Way Damaged Kidneys Start Functioning Normally (depends Upon The Stage Of The Disease) Which Type Of Kidney Patients Should Take Homeopathic Treatment? 1. Healthy Persons Who Have Strong Family History Of Renal Failure Should Take Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht) To Avoid The Risk Of Renal Failure. 2. Diabetic Patients Who Are Suffering From Hypertension Also Must Take Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht). 3. Persons Who Are Having Symptoms Of Early Renal Failure Of Unknown Etiology Must Start The Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht). 4. Patients Suffering From Recurrent Renal Stone Formation Or Having Stone Lodged Somewhere In The Ureter Must Start Maht. 5. Kidney Patients Of Any Stage Should Start Maht As Earliest As Possible For Avoiding Passing Into The Complete Renal Damage. 6. Patients Who Are Taking Some Urine Forming Medicines Such As Lasix, Dytor Etc. Should Start Maht Otherwise Their Kidneys Will Have To Suffer Badly. 7. Patients Who Are On Dialysis Can Get Rid Off The Frequent Dialysis By Taking Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht) 8. Patients Who Are Waiting For Renal Transplantation Should Start Maht Which Can Stop The Urgent Need Of Kidney Donor. It's Mean To Say That Nothing Is Too Late For Maht To Start; Every Patient Should Start It As Soon As They Come To Know About Benefits Of Maht. The Maht Improvement Percentage In Crf Stage Wise Stage- Ckd1 Gfr Level - Above 90ml/min/1.73m2 Percentage Of Improvement In Maht - 100% Approximate Visible Improvement Period By Mhat - Within 1month Stage- Ckd2 Gfr Level - 30 To 59 Ml/min/1.73m Percentage Of Improvement In Maht - 100% Approximate Visible Improvement Period By Mhat - Within 1month Stage- Ckd3 Gfr Level - 60 To 89 Ml/min/1.73m2 Percentage Of Improvement In Maht - 70% To 80% Approximate Visible Improvement Period By Mhat - Within 2 Month Stage- Ckd4 Gfr Level - 15 To 29 Ml/min/1.73m2 Percentage Of Improvement In Maht - 50% To 60% Approximate Visible Improvement Period By Mhat - Within 4 Month Stage- Ckd5 Gfr Level - Less Than 15 Ml/min/1.73m2 Percentage Of Improvement In Maht - 50% To 60% Approximate Visible Improvement Period By Mhat - Within 4 Month The Present Treatment Verses Homeopathy Treatment In Crf 1. Duration Of Treatment: Lifelong Treatment In Present Conventional System Of Treatment. Homeopathic Medicines Can Be Stopped In 2 To 5 Years Depending On The Severity And Underlying Cause Of The Disease. 2. Chance Of Revive Of Kidney: Damaged Kidneys Cannot Be Repaired In Present Conventional System Of Treatment. Modern Medicine Try To Facilitate The Bodily Waste Products To Pass Out By The Process Of Dialysis Through Artificial Or By Transplanted Natural Kidney And Simultaneously By Doing Forced Diuresis With The Diuretic Medicines That Eventually Lead To More Damage To The Remaining Nephrons (renal Cells). Though Homeopathy Does Not Provide Any Substitute (dialysis Or New Kidney) For Any Organ (kidney) But It Can Revive The Damaged Organ As It Has Been Proved At Many Times In Our Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht). 3. Dialysis Verses Homeopathy: There Is No Curative Procedure For Crf In Present Conventional System Of Treatment. Kidney Transplantation And Dialysis Does Not Cure Renal Failure, But Instead Keeps A Person Alive For Few Months To Years By Performing The Crucial Functions Of The Kidneys. The Process Of Dialysis Cannot Be Stopped Once A Patient Starts On It. As The Time Passes This Procedure Has To Done More Frequently. Even Doctors Cannot Imagine That It Can Be Slow Down (gap In Dialysis Can Be Increased) So They (doctors) Compel Their Patient To Come For Dialysis More Frequently. As Long As The Patient Is Performing Dialysis Can Live Few Months To Years (just To Live, Not In A Completely Healthy Condition) But If Stop Then No Chance To Survive. But Homeopathy Stimulates Someone's Immune System To Perform Normal Functions, In This Way Damaged Kidneys And Other Organ's Functions Start Improving .patient's Kidneys May Start Improving As Soon As He Starts Taking Homeopathic Treatment. It Helps The Patient Withdrawing From Dialysis. That's Why Homeopath Advises His Patient To Increase Gap In The Subsequent Dialysis. 4. Treatment Cost Factor: In Allopathic System Patient Has To Spend Rs.5000 To 20000/- Per Month Exclusively On Medicines. Expanses Of Hospital's Fee And Investigations Are Superfluous. Homeopathic Treatment Cost Depends On The Severity Of Disease And Knowledge And Experience Of The Doctor, Even A Costliest Doctor's Treatment Remains Quite Economical Than Allopathic Expenses. 5. Kidney Transplant Complication: In Case Of Kidney Transplanted Patients Kidney's Linked Diseases Like Diabetes Mellitus And Hypertension May Become Uncontrolled Instead Of Taking Full Medical Care. But Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht) Not Only Repairs The Damaged Kidneys But Simultaneously It Helps In Maintaining The Blood Sugar Level And Blood Pressure To A Normal Level. 6. Treatment Concept: In Present Conventional System Of Treatment Damage Is A Continuous Process, It Can Be Slow Down Up To A Certain Limit But Cannot Be Stopped. In Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht) Can Stop The Further Damage Of Diseased Organ Without Delay And Further Treatment May Revive The Damaged Tissue. 7. Scope Of Treatment In Polycystic Kidney: In The Similar Way Present Conventional System Of Treatment Can Not Treat (correct) The Cysts Or Tumors Of Kidneys. Our Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht) Can Treat The Tumors As Well As Polycystic Kidneys Also. 8. Symptomatic Verses Curative Treatment: Doctors And Patient Always Remain Worried About The Bio-chemistry (sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Etc.) Otherwise Some Complications May Likely To Occur. Even With Taking Care Of All The Measures Patient Starts Complaining Of Symptoms Related To Electrolyte Imbalance Almost Every Day. In Multicare Advanced Homeopathic Treatment (maht) Once Patient's Immunity Improves (you Can Feel It Just Within Days) All Organs' Functions Will Start Improving Simultaneously Bio-chemistry Also Becomes Normal Naturally.
