Part 1 By Dr Aditya Kasariyans, Iran
Here in Iran, I have been involved in corona virus patients’ treatment since 25th Feb 2020, directly or indirectly through the accounts of other colleagues, from different parts of the country.
Case 1:
My first case was my physician friend who at that time had almost recovered from the disease but helped much in gathering the symptoms; the main symptoms she presented were:
• General malaise and soreness all over
• Positive corona test
• Low grade fever; maximum rising to 38.5.
• Perspiration especially on the back and forehead
• Chill especially on the first two days
• The intense need to lie down all the time without the energy to get up
• Desire for open air; except in the chill phase
• Dry coughs
• Slight dyspnea when putting effort doing something
• Temporal headache I have always had the privilege of being the student of very eminent homeopaths from India, who always supported with their professional ideas every time I requested for, and this study specifically continued with the intense collaboration; kind support and wisdom of my forever teacher and mentor Dr Rajan Sankaran from Mumbai; India. Within few days I had two patients from the north of Iran where it is one of the major sites of the disease.
Case 2:
• 70 years old female
• Hx of CABG and Hypertension
• A few days prior she started complaining of intense sleepiness
• An evening before she collapsed for the second time at home, she had brought her phone to her daughter in law showing her and telling this is my bank card.
• Eyes were open but it seemed she is not understanding anything; she should had to be addressed few times before she would answer as if you suddenly wake up from a deep daydreaming.
• Intense prostration, walking was so difficult; desired to lie down.
• Appetite significantly diminished • She was found sitting with the head down due to intense prostration
• Fainted twice before being taken to the hospital
• Admission in ICU with positive test and both lungs infiltration I got in touch with this patient at this stage where after a week of hospitalization her tachypnea had resolved. She had started eating well. She was transferred out of ICU. I had prepared some further questions to be asked when she was visited by her family. But despite the report of her wellness, when the family had arrived to hospital she was undergoing CPR. Apparently very well and communicative a minute or two before sudden death.
• No restlessness was observed by the family
• About thermal inclinations: she was telling it is hot when she was transferred between wards and asked to uncover. (not reliable)

Part 2
By Dr Rajan Sankaran, India

About ten days ago my former student and now colleague from Iran Dr Aditya Kasariyans approached me for some help in dealing with the spreading corona virus epidemic in her country. As per the Hahnemannian guidelines in treating epidemics, I suggested that she collect symptoms from actual patients either directly or through her colleagues and send me a list of the symptoms and the course of the disease which are found in a majority of cases. She did so form 40 cases , including two whose cases she took herself in a homeopathic manner. I list below the symptoms she sent and the course of disease observed . From a detailed study of these facts, I came to 4 remedies : Ars, Camph , Carb-v and Verat. A reference to the genius of the disease , its individuality : sudden collapse, cold sweat and a relative absence of restlessness, led me to the remedy Camphor. I asked her to administer the remedy Camphor in 1m to the 2 cases under her care. Within 24 hrs she reported a significant improvement in the cases.
Then she found more cases and sent me more symptoms. I found these too corresponded with Camphor (see repertorisation chart 2 )
The next day she applied it to 3 more cases, one of them even without taking the symptoms. The results in her words were ‘dramatic’. I asked her to give more cases the remedy and report. The next day she reported very positive results from other cases 8 ( pl see her writing above. ) . I felt that I have some data to share with the profession. Based on these findings I suggest Camphor as the genus epidemicus and to use it as a treatment ( 1m in water every 3 hrs ) and prophylactic ( 1m in pills twice a day for 2 days ).
Symptoms gathered from patients and analysis:
Nagging headache .. forehead. .
Fever low grade.
Perspiration upper body. Forehead .Cold.
Shivering , chills
Extreme prostration.
In cycles. Swinging.
Collapse. Sudden . sit .. lie down. Legs together .. not falling. Sinking .SUDDEN COLLAPSE.
Sleepiness . during. before the fever
I want to lie down. Cant even sit.
Desire cold drinks
Thirst less
Irritation in throat causing cough
Cold hands
Touched agg. Skin is sore.
Weakness is so much that they don’t want to change the position.
Respiratory distress but completely conscious.
No restlessness.
Camphor
Skin of the whole body painful
Camphora is always indicated when death threatens through rapid depression of neural activity or of pulmonary or cardiac activity, e.g. in drowning. In such situations of collapse it is on a par with Carbo Vegetabilis.
Sensitive, slightest touch hurts.
It is used, as a rule, in prostration occurring suddenly and increasing rapidly.
Camphora ( Analysis From Plant Kingdom )
Camphora comes form the subclass Magnolidae which has the theme of shutting yourself in and walling off the outside world.
You can see this from the following rubric :
mind; DELUSIONS, imaginations; world; she has her own little, in which things are clear, outside is uncertain
This seems to be the main idea in this epidemic with everyone retreating in to their own world and the outside world seen as dangerous and uncertain.
Repertory chart 1 & 2 ( Using Mac Repertory )

Suggestion:
1) To give Camphora 1m twice daily for 2 days as a prophylactic.
2) To give Camphora 1m 6 hourly to people who have got the infection.
3) To give Camphora 10 m 6 hourly for those with severe lung complications.
