Mr. D.O.P. a 49 years old male, resident of Nerul, Mumbai comes from a middle class background.

He was suffering with Frequent colds since almost 20 years. He used to get colds daily. Each episode would start with sneezing; at-least 25 -30 sneezes at a time, followed by watery nasal discharge. There was no cough or fever but the nasal discharge was so severe that in a day he had to carry at-least 2-3 handkerchiefs. He also had nose-block at night, making it difficult for him to breathe through the nose. His complaints would increase in the morning, with dust and due to draft of air.

He was taking anti- allergic tablet everyday since last 10 years, but there was no change in his condition. Each day would start with sneezing and would end up taking the anti allergic medicine without any respite.

One day while he was reading a Gujarati newspaper he came across information about Life Force. It was an article written by Dr. Shah on Homeopathy and it's scope in treating Chronic diseases. He read the whole article and made a call at Life Force, had an talk with an associate doctor who explained him about scope of homeopathic medicines in his case.

He took an appointment and visited Life Force clinic.

He had 3 sons, two of them were working and lived separately and the youngest one was working with him in the sweet's factory. He also had 1 daughter who was married. He was mild in nature and would handle things calmly. He would rarely get angry. His wife was suffering with Arthritis which was bothering him a lot. His two sons were married and settled. There was no major stress in life. But wife's health was a major concern for him.

His case was studied in detail by Dr. Shah and he was prescribed Research based medicines for 6 weeks.

He reported on 18/11/2004, his colds were 20 % better. The frequency of sneezing was the same but the watery nasal discharge had reduced. The discomfort had also reduced.

The watery nasal discharge had reduced, he was very happy to tell us that he was now using only one handkerchief instead of 2-3 and his sleep was not disturbed due to nose block. The anti allergic medicine he was on, was now required just once in a month.

He was prescribed 2 months medicines and later was asked to discontinue the treatment as he was much better.
