Les évènements se sont un peu précipités, mais la nouvelle a fini par arriver: je dois rejoindre une équipe de médecins homéopathes Allemands pour le Liberia où nous avons une invitation officielle du gouvernement.

L’expédition est coordonnée par mon ami André Saine qui a rassemblé de nombreux documents relatifs au traitement de la fièvre jaune, notamment aux USA, par nos prédécesseurs. Entre leurs mains la mortalité tombait à pratiquement 0%. Basiquement Ebola est une sorte de fièvre jaune, et tout comme elle, présente de très nombreuses manifestations diverses, mais son évolution est très rapide, il n’y a pas de seconde semaine, en général.
La maladie peut être divisée arbitrairement en 4 stades:
1) Frissons, fièvre et violentes céphalées: la maladie commence en général par la fièvre et des maux de tête intenses le premier jour. Puis le second jour fatigue intense, douleur généralisée, et perte d’appétit.
2) Nausée, vomissements, diarrhée, conjonctivite, agitation, prostration, ulcères des lèvres, soif très importante sont les signes majeurs du 3ème jour. La dysphagie, la dyspnée et la conjonctivite sont typiquement plus marqués le 4ème jour.
3) Hémorragies. Des hémorragies mineures peuvent démarrer au 3è-4é jour mais les formes majeures (méléna, hématémèse) démarrent vers J5 ou J7, ce qui peut se terminer en coma et mort.
Les signes les plus communs d’hémorragies mineures sont les suintements par la moindre plaie, les gencives (32% ce qui est pronostic de gravité), les signes majeurs comme les hématémèses (56%) ou la diarrhée sanglante (55%)
Globalement la survenue d’hémorragies visibles sont des signes de mauvais pronostic, sauf peut être pour les méléna et les selles sanglantes qui sont parfois notés au début de la maladie et surviennent aussi bien chez les survivants que les non-survivants.
La plupart des non survivants sont morts dans des états stuporeux, en choc et tachypnée. Ce dernier signe est très significatif pour le pronostic vital, probablement puisqu’il apparaît dans les heures précédant la mort.
Les hoquets sont relativement fréquents (15% des cas), et étonnants, ils sembles caractériser une issue fatale.
4) Convalescence. Les séquelles à long terme sont la surdité ou les acouphènes.
Convié à participer à la première équipe par André Saine du fait de mon expérience dans le traitement du choléra en Haïti, j’espère pouvoir me rendre utile. Nous devrions avoir en arrivant 2 jours d’entraînement pour porter l’affreuse tenue protectrice qui doit nous permettre d’approcher les malades. La chose n’est même pas certaine puisque nous ne sommes pas certains de voir des malades dès le début. Peut être il aura-t-il des empêchements comme ce fut le cas initialement en Haïti.
Si nous voyons des cas, j’espère parvenir très vite lors de l’examen clinique à déterminer les quelques signes caractéristiques qui nous indiqueront un médicament épidémique. J’attends alors des résultats très favorables qui doivent se manifester en quelques heures. Notre objectif est d’approcher les 0% de mortalité obtenus par nos aînés. Au pire nous ne risquons que la maladie ou le ridicule, n’est-ce pas? Et nous aurons aussi la possibilité de soigner de nombreux autres malades porteurs de pathologies tout aussi fréquentes mais moins “à la mode”.
Témoignage d’un médecin homéopathe qui a soigné des centaines de cas en 1869. Le texte en anglais vous donne une idée des résultats vertigineux atteints par les homéopathes à l’époque, et encore Holcombe n’était certainement pas plus qu’un simple débutant…
Mes notes sur les médicaments dont nous risquons d’avoir besoin. A partir des maigres éléments cliniques à notre disposition, j’ai effectué une première étude pour nous permettre de cibler le groupe des médicaments potentiels. L’hydrogénure d’arsenic pointe en tête, avec les venins de serpents (dont la réputation dans la fièvre jaune ou les affections avec des troubles de la coagulation n’est plus à faire) avec Lachesis et surtout Crotalus. Nous n’oublions surtout pas Cantharis qui présente énormément des signes de la maladie. Mais il convient de nous rendre au chevet des patients sans parti pris et d’écouter le langage de la nature.
Je m’excuse donc de la désorganisation des cours jusqu’au 31 octobre, ainsi que du planning des consultations. Nécessité fait loi, nous avons un devoir éthique de porter du secours à ces populations démunies, et de leur apporter si tout se passe comme prévu une arme formidable et quasiment gratuite contre ce fléau. Forts de l’expérience à venir nous pourrons sans doute soigner les cas européens s’ils devaient se présenter. Enfin, c’est une occasion unique de démontrer la valeur de l’homéopathie. On nous dénigrera bien sûr, on contestera que les malades guéris fussent malades, mais nous espérons en soigner un si grand nombre qu’il n’y aura pas de contestation possible. Les marchands de vaccins expérimentaux pourront alors aller se rhabiller.

Protected: Mission Ebola News 12/10/2014 Protected: Mission Ebola

The events were a little rushed, but the news finally came: I have to join a team of homeopaths Germans to Liberia where we have an official invitation of the government doctors.

Emak-Ebola-310714e

L'expédition is coordinated by my friend André Saine has collected numerous documents relating to the treatment of yellow fever, including the USA, by our predecessors. In their hands the mortality fell to almost 0%.

Ebola is basically a kind of yellow fever, and as she has very many different manifestations, but its evolution is very fast, there is no second week in general.

The disease can be arbitrarily divided into four stages:

1) Chills, fever and severe headache: disease usually begins with a fever and severe headache on the first day. Then the second day extreme fatigue, generalized pain, and loss of appetite.

2) Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, agitation, prostration, ulcers of the lips, very important thirst are the major signs of the 3rd day. Dysphagia, dyspnea, and conjunctivitis are typically marked the fourth day.

3) hemorrhage. Minor bleeding can start the 3rd-4é day but major forms (melena, hematemesis) start to J5 or J7, which may end in coma and death. The most common signs of minor bleeding are seeps through any wound, gums (32% regards prognosis of gravity), the major signs such as hematemesis (56%) or bloody diarrhea (55%)

Overall the occurrence of visible bleeding are signs of a poor prognosis, except perhaps for melena and bloody stools that are sometimes noted at the beginning of the disease and occur both in survivors and non-survivors. Most non-survivors died in stuporous states, shock and tachypnea. This sign is very significant for the prognosis, since it appears likely in the hours preceding death. Hiccups are relatively frequent (15% of cases), and amazing, they seem to characterize fatal.

4) Convalescence. The long-term sequelae are deafness or tinnitus.

Invited to participate in the first team by André Saine because of my experience in the treatment of cholera in Haiti, I hope to make myself useful.

We should have arrived two days drive to bring the terrible protective clothing that will allow us to approach malades.

La thing is not even sure since we are not certain to see patients early on. Maybe he will he impediments as was initially the case in Haiti.

If we see, I hope soon arrive at the clinic to identify some typical signs that will tell us a drug epidemic examination.

I then expect very favorable results which must occur within hours. Our goal is to approach the 0% mortality obtained by our seniors.

At worst we run the risk that the disease or ridiculous, is not it? And we also have the opportunity to treat many more patients carrying equally common diseases but less "fashionable".

Testimony of a homeopathic doctor who treated hundreds of cases in 1869. The English text gives you an idea dizzying results achieved by homeopaths at the time, and still Holcombe was certainly not more than a beginner ...

My notes on the medicines we may need. From the meager clinical data at our disposal, I made a first study to allow us to identify the group of potential drugs. The hydrogénure arsenic in the lead, with snake venom (whose reputation in the yellow fever or diseases with coagulation disorders is more to do) with Lachesis and Crotalus above.

We let's not forget that this enormously Cantharis signs of the disease. But should we make at the bedside without bias and listen to the language of nature.

I apologize for the disruption of ongoing until October 31, and the schedule of appointments. Necessity knows no law, we have an ethical duty to bring relief to the poor, and to provide them if everything goes as planned and a formidable weapon against the scourge almost free.

With the experience to come we will probably treat European cases should they arise.

Finally, this is a unique opportunity to demonstrate the value of homeopathy.

We disparage course, we disagree that the cured patients were sick, but we hope to treat so many that there will be no dispute. The merchants of experimental vaccines can then get dressed.

EXCLUSIVE: Homeopaths sent to deadly Ebola hotspot to treat victims with ARSENIC and SNAKE VENOM Team spent days in remote Liberian hospital to prove that remedies work They planned to treat victims with 'rattlesnake venom' and 'Spanish Fly' Boasted of the 'unique opportunity' presented by deadly Ebola outbreak Claimed they would treat all European victims after proving success
By GETHIN CHAMBERLAIN IN GANTA, LIBERIA AND SIMON TOMLINSON IN LONDON FOR MAILONLINE PUBLISHED: 12:27 GMT, 14 November 2014 | UPDATED: 15:28 GMT, 14 November 2014

Ebola victims in one of the hardest-hit parts of Liberia have been treated by homeopaths who are determined to prove that arsenic, rattlesnake venom and the aphrodisiac Spanish Fly can cure Ebola. The homeopaths arrived in Liberia to use the deadly outbreak to prove their controversial theories and have already spent two weeks in the country with patients in a hospital in Ganta, in the north of the country near to the epicentre of the outbreak. In letters and messages seen by Mail Online they revealed that the aim of their mission was to prove that homeopathy could treat Ebola. 'The manufacturers of experimental vaccines will then have to change their opinions,' boasted Dr Edouard Broussalian, one of the team of two men and two women working in the remote area.

The mission was organised by the Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis, an international group dedicated to promoting homeopathy. A message on its website proclaims the initial visit a success because, it claims, the team's results were so 'impressive' that they were asked to establish a program of homeopathic teaching and treatment at the hospital. 'The mission's broader goal of bringing homeopathy to Liberia is therefore underway, thanks to the four volunteers and their work,' it said. But their intervention has dismayed critics of the controversial technique, whose practitioners use dilutions of substances in water. Mike Noyes, the head of humanitarian response at UK charity ActionAid, which has teams of doctors supporting clinics in Sierra Leone and Liberia, told MailOnline: 'With this crisis, you can't be offering false hope.

'There is no scientific evidence that homeopathy has any impact on dealing with viral disease like Ebola. 'Coming in from the outside with these unproven approaches is damaging to the response and bringing the disease under control.' Homeopaths claim that the way their remedies are prepared - which includes hitting the container 10 times against a leather and horsehair surface - give them a special potency and that the water molecules remember the presence of the active ingredient. Their opponents dismiss the 'treatments' as mumbo-jumbo and fear that desperately-ill Ebola patients will die as a result of their involvement. The homeopaths - all medical doctors by training - arrived in Liberia on October 17 and the intervention of a team of international doctors was initially welcomed by the ministry of health, desperate for help in fighting a virus that has already killed more than 5,000 people.

But the homeopaths suffered a setback when health officials discovered that they intended to experiment with homeopathic treatments on Ebola sufferers. The team was allowed to travel to Ganta United Methodist Hospital, but on strict instructions not to use homeopathic remedies. Whether they followed those instructions is not known because the hospital in Ganta said it did not monitor their activity. When Mail Online went to the hospital to find the doctors, assistant administrator Patrick Mantor said they had left. 'There were four of them. One left earlier and three of them left last Friday. 'They came first to do some homeopathic treatment but the paper arrangement was not made with the ministry of health. They said another group might come. 'They were seeing people with pains and weakness. I wasn't present when they were doing this so I don't know how they treated them. I don't know anything about homeopathy. 'The process is going on in their absence so that they can come back with the proper paperwork.' Dr Moses Massaquoi, head of Ebola case management for the Liberian health ministry, confirmed that the homeopaths had gone to Ganta but he said he was unaware that they were homeopaths when they first arrived. 'I didn't know that they were going to do homeopathy,' he said. He said that the homeopaths had been told that they were not to try to practice homeopathy on Ebola patients, but they were allowed to go to the hospital to help out as physicians. 'They said they wouldn't use any homeopathy,' he said. But the homeopaths hope that they can overcome the initial setback and press on with their mission, and have applied to return to Liberia. Dr Broussalian explained their mission - to discover what homeopathic treatment would cure Ebola - on his own website, Planete Homea, in a post he later deleted. He and his colleagues have made efforts to erase references to their trips after they were seized on by critics, but traces remain on the internet and Mail Online has been able to access much of the original material. In a post [in French] titled Mission Ebola Dr Broussalian explained how they planned to tackle Ebola:

'Using the basic clinical details available to us, I carried out an initial study to allow us to target the group of potential medicines. 'Hydrogenising arsenic the obvious starting point, with serpent venom (the reputation of which in the case of yellow fever or complaints with coagulation problems is no longer useful) with Lachesis and especially Crotalus. In particular we mustn't forget Cantharis which shows a huge number of symptoms of the illness. But we need to be at the bedside of the patients without any foregone conclusions and to listen to what nature tells us.'

Crotalus is rattlesnake venom. Lachesis is the venom of the South American bushmaster snake. Cantharis, obtained from Spanish Fly, can be highly toxic and in sufficient concentration causes urinary and sexual problems. Spanish Fly has long been used as an aphrodisiac.

Dr Broussalian, however, is confident that the potions will help Ebola victims: 'Necessity is the mother of invention, we have an ethical duty to help these depleted populations and if all goes as planned to provide them with a strong and more or less cost-free defence against this scourge. 'Backed by experience in the future we will probably be able to take care the European cases if they should occur. 'Finally, it is a unique opportunity to demonstrate the value of homeopathy. Of course they [their critics] will challenge us as to whether the 'cured patients' were really ill in the first place, but we hope to treat such large numbers that no challenge will be possible. The manufacturers of experimental vaccines will then have to change their opinions.' The four doctors involved in the mission were Dr Richard Hiltner, from California, United States; Dr Edouard Broussalian, from Geneva, Switzerland: Dr Ortrud Lindemann, from Germany, and Dr Medha Durge, from Mumbai, India.

They checked into the Wingus Guesthouse in the capital Monrovia and two days after they arrived, Dr Lindemann wrote a letter to supporters updating them on their progress. Her letter can be found on the Facebook pages of some of those supporters. 'On arrival the atmosphere is tense, we get our aprox temperature taken. Warnings about Ebola everywhere!!!,' she wrote. One piece of their luggage was missing, but she was relieved that it did not include any of the 110 remedies they had brought with them. 'How Could we have dared to go here without our most valuable tools???,' she wrote. The group was met by a small party including a representative of the ministry of foreign affairs and someone from the health department. 'We finally reached after so many weeks of struggling to be able to travel to what we had decided to do. We are destined to help the people of Liberia to fight Ebola Virus Disease with an effective means of fighting epidemics : homeopathic remedies.' Their target was the hospital in Ganta where, Dr Lindemann wrote there were only three Liberian doctors working.

She described meeting the board of the hospital who 'were so interested in our mission that we had a hard time leaving after two hours and asked/ pleaded us to not only stay for our intended three weeks.' The organisers of the mission, the LHMI, say they wrote to the Liberian government in August to offer the services of homeopaths in the treatment of Ebola patients. It said they received an invitation on October 7 and noted that the World Health Organisation had declared the outbreak an international public health emergency and endorsed the use of experimental, unproven and unregistered interventions. It said: 'Even if the homeopathic treatment were to be completely ineffective - which we do not expect - it would still be compliant with the WHO rules. Furthermore a homeopathic treatment with high potencies would have no possible side effect and, in the worst case, the mortality would correspond to that of all other treatment centers.'

The LMHI said it was surprised that the team were not allowed to use homeopathy on Ebola patients during this visit, but put that down to 'a few diplomatic problems'. But it said they had been able to use their skills to treat 'very severe' non-Ebola patients. 'Both hospital and clinic out-patients were seen and treated, with impressive results. The results were so promising that the LMHI were requested on departure to establish a program of homeopathic teaching and treatment in the Hospital. The mission's broader goal of bringing homeopathy to Liberia is therefore underway, thanks to the four volunteers and their work.' There have been a large number of deaths from Ebola in and around Ganta since the start of the outbreak. Ten people died in the space of just 48 hours in September and the hospital now has a specialised Ebola treatment unit. According to his own website, Richard Hiltner has been a medical doctor for 39 year, including 35 as a homeopath. Dr Broussalian is 52 and according to his website started learning homeopathy at the age of 15. Dr Lindemann qualified as a doctor in 1986 in Germany and has been a homeopath since 1989. Dr Durge runs a homeopathy clinic in the Thane district of Mumbai in India. She has been a doctor for 22 years.
