Antibiotic usage during pregnancy - slightly raises autism risk for the child





  • Cholesterol, for assessing risk of heart disease
  • hemoglobin, for anemia
  • glucose for monitoring diabetes
  • alcohol and the presence of illegal drugs or drugs of abuse
  • nicotine metabolites, urine test to assess smoking status
  • hCG, to screen for pregnancy
  • prothrombin time, for monitoring blood thinning and clotting
  • fecal occult blood, to screen for colorectal cancer
  • luteinizing hormone, to predict ovulation
  • sperm counts, to assess infertility
  • follicle stimulating hormone, to screen for menopause

Some home tests, like those for pregnancy, produce immediate results. Others are sold as collection devices—you use the device to collect a specimen (for example, urine or stool) and then mail the device containing the sample to the laboratory for evaluation. For example, if you want to know if you’ve contracted HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, you collect a small blood sample by pricking your finger at home and collecting a drop of blood on special filter paper that is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Home collection kits that are mailed to a laboratory for analysis include the following tests:
  • allergy testing for 10 common home allergens
  • antioxidant levels (urine lipid peroxide)
  • male and female hormone testing
  • high sensitivity CRP, to screen for heart disease
  • hepatitis C, to determine hepatitis infection
  • HIV-1 antibody, for determining HIV infection
  • microalbumin, to screen for kidney disease
  • hair, urine and salivary drugs of abuse testing
  • hair, to assess mineral and toxic element levels
  • performance and stress hormone levels of testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol
  • prostate specific antigen (PSA), to screen for prostate cancer
  • melatonin levels, to assess sleep
  • TSH for thyroid function
  • antibodies involved in celiac disease
  • paternity testing
  • blood typing

Herpes (including Herpes Simplex and Herpes Zoster / Shingles) is notorious for painful neuralgic pain, recurring fluid-filled blisters, intense burning sensations, and repeated seasonal flare-ups. In conventional dermatology, patients are typically managed with antiviral suppressants, which reduce active blisters temporarily but often leave patients suffering from recurrent episodes for years. Through constitutional, non-steroidal classical homeopathy, the treatment objective focuses on addressing underlying immune vulnerability and deep chronic miasmatic susceptibility, providing lasting neural and dermal relief without suppression. Clinical Case Snapshot: Patient: 31-Year-Old Female Diagnosis: Chronic Recurrent Herpes Duration of Illness: 8 Long Years of continuous suffering and previous treatments Outcome Under Homeopathy: Significant resolution and recovery observed within 2–3 months of constitutional prescribing Patient’s Handwrit...

Pleural effusion (फेफड़ों में पानी भरना) is a serious respiratory condition where excess fluid accumulates in the pleural space, leading to severe breathlessness, dry cough, and sharp, stitching chest pains. While acute hospital care and diagnostic tapping (thoracentesis) are often necessary initially, repeated fluid accumulation post-drainage is a common challenge. Through constitutional, non-steroidal classical homeopathy, the clinical focus is on stimulating natural systemic fluid reabsorption and restoring lung vitality without recurrent surgical interventions.
