To All National Vice President
Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis
( Malaysia Att: Dr Nik Omar )
Dear homeopathic colleagues:
Since the outbreak of H1N1, all national and international health
organizations, governments and the worldwide population have been
concerned about the progress of this disease.
We all know that homeopathy offers a good alternative to the standard
treatments by university medicine.
The LMHI gathered the already documented experience of our
Mexican colleagues in the treatment of H1N1 and wants to
disseminate this information. In this way The LMHI fulfills its mission to participate actively in maintaining and improving the health of human beings.
With this first bulletin on H1N1, LMHI wishes to contribute to the application of homeopathic medicines in this pandemic.
Best wishes
Dr.Corrado Bruno Dr.José Matuk

The H1N1 flu is a respiratory infection caused by a strain of influenza virus of
the type A, which normally causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The disease
affects pigs almost exclusively, however, a new strain of virus, derived, in part
from the human influenza virus, and, in part, from the pig influenza virus, has
been demonstrated to be transmissible to humans and, worse, from human
being to human being. Another concern that has arisen is the serious form of
disease and, because of the high mortality rate of this strain of virus and of its
capacity to be transmitted between humans, there is the concern that the H1N1
flu could become a global pandemic.
The H1N1 flu epidemic has spread rapidly in the past weeks. The World Health
Organization increased the level of global pandemic alert from level 4 to level 5,
which means that, even if the majority of the countries has not been affected
yet, there are strong signs that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to
organize a contingency plan is short. The increase in alert level indicates that
the probability of an emergence of a global H1N1 influenza pandemic has
grown during the last weeks.
It should be noted that there are reports of cases of influenza caused by other
viruses which are not the H1N1. They must be distinguished from the epidemic
of human influenza as they present different behaviors. The human influenza
has a sudden appearance that evolves more quickly toward pneumonia, with
severe attack on the general state of the patient. On a parallel level, there are
many cases that do not correspond to human influenza, or to seasonal
influenza. They represent rather common colds that have no connection with
influenza.
At present the homeopathic colleagues of Mexico have been able to identify
indirectly, by the written reports of doctors in hospitals, the following

application, but, as the symptoms were obtained directly from a significant
number of H1N1 confirmed infected patients, homeopathic medicine can be
used.
Influenza ranks among the category of respiratory diseases, but, in reality, the
whole body is disrupted when the person gets sick. In short, people affected
are often very sick and are suffering from all or some of the symptoms:
• High fever. • Headache. • Clear nasal discharge. • Sneezing.
• Cough, often becoming severe. • Severe aches and pains.• Fatigue for several weeks.
• Sometimes sore throat. • Extreme exhaustion.
• Fever and pain throughout the body generally last from three to five days, but
the cough and fatigue can last for two weeks or more.
• Mexican fever may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Diagnostic Guides
Until now the guidelines that have been given to define a case of Mexican
influenza (case definition / swine flu) by CDC (Influenza like/illness ILI) are as
follows:
• A confirmed case of influenza A H1NI defines a person with an acute
breathing illness with laboratory confirmation of the A H1N1 influenza
virus through the following laboratory diagnosis:
LIGA MEDICORUM HOMEOPATHICA INTERNATIONALIS
HINI FLU 2009

1. PCR/RT in real time
2. Viral Culture
• A probable case of infection by influenza A H1NI defines a person with
influenza type symptoms
1. Positive for influenza A, but negative for H1 or H3 influenza by
PCR/RT
• A suspected case of influenza A defines people who do not meet the
criteria at the top and have H1NI negative tests:
1. Healthy person, under the age of 65 years, hospitalized with
symptoms similar to the influenza.
2. Lives in a state (country) where no cases of influenza have
been confirmed, but has traveled to a state (country) where
there are one or more probable cases.
3. Has been in contact in the last 7 days with a person with
similar symptoms to the influenza (ILI).
Homeopathic Medicines
Homeopathic medical treatment is individual, but in the face of an epidemic, we
can obtain groups of drugs characterized by the peculiarities of the symptoms
of the sick.
For this specific epidemic, we have obtained the following remedies for the
symptoms found in different patients.
The symptoms listed above are the common symptoms of the disease that, for
the homeopathic doctor, serve to show whether or not it is Influenza.
However, they are not useful for the prescription of homeopathic medicines.
The pattern and the individuality of the symptoms of each patient are what
determine the prescription of a homeopathic remedy.
