Enteroviruses as the cause of a variety of chronic diseases

This presentation deals with the effects of epidemic enteroviruses which could be identified as the cause of various chronic diseases, specifically autoimmune diseases.

Cases were collected and analysed over a period of more than 4 years and time patterns were documented. The treatment of the viral epidemic 2011/2012 itself is described, including the finding of the homeopathic remedy and the rapid healing, even of multi-morbid patients during the acute phase. The paper deals with the observation that, with a latency period of several months, various diseases caused by the same virus occurred, specifically autoimmune diseases. Here may be mentioned: myocarditis with consecutive dilated cardiomyopathy, allopecia areata sive totalis, type I diabetes and polyarthritis, clinically apparent from 04/2012 to 06/2012. Non-autoimmune diseases from the same period are also part of the discussion.

In the course of the case studies it could be documented that, up to 4 years later, one single dose of the original homeopathic remedy, suitable during the enterovirus epidemic, could initiate or achieve a cure of the chronic disease. (This does not apply for the insulin dependent type I diabetes).

The result of the case studies proves that there must be a causal relationship.

The presentation is intentionally limited to the aforementioned virus epidemic. However, this represents the beginning of more than 4 years of research following the admonition of Hahnemann, noted in §100 of the Organon. The overall results are applicable to discuss the homeopathic treatment methodology and can be considered as element of basic medical research.
