A male, 55 years of age, a known diabetic with uncontrolled blood sugars, came for consultation with swelling and pain in the right little toe of three days’ duration.
The patient was in acute pain, with a swollen toe and oedema of the surrounding foot. The part looked dark red, almost bluish in appearance. On touch, however, the toe was not as warm as one would expect in such an inflammation. It was deduced that if the infection was not controlled soon, the toe would become gangrenous.
On this basis, SECALE COR 200 was given in three doses, one to be taken immediately, the other at night, and the next in the morning. The patient was asked to report the next day. It was expected that it would take at least 3–4 days for the condition to start improving, given the situation of the foot.
The next morning, the patient was already waiting to see the author for consultation. A terrible thought crossed the author’s mind that the inflammation might have spread.
The patient, however, looked cheerful and happy.
On starting the consultation, the patient showed the affected part, which showed absolutely no signs of inflammation in the little toe. The swelling had subsided and the part had regained its normal colour.
Note: This case highlights two important factors:
- A well-chosen remedy, covering both the characteristic symptoms and the pathology, can produce dramatic results.
- If the medicine chosen is the right one, then, especially in acute cases, the results may be seen even faster than with conventional medicine.
