I tried it in several cases of diabetes that were placed under my treatment and it gives me great pleasures to say that all those cases were radically cured by this drug. Its power to lessen sugar is unquestionably great. Lt. Col. R.N. Chopra, I.M.S., has mentioned in his book on indigenous drugs of India that the apparent beneficial results obtained after administration of this drug are probably due to the fact that a large number of cases of so-called diabetes in this country are really cases of intermittent glycosuria and these patients often improve without any medical interference.
With confidence I may point out that the cases cited by me do not fall in the same category fixed by Dr. Chopra and all of them are genuine cases of diabetes, pure and simple. All these cases were cured and there was no appearance of sugar in their urines even after four or five years. With these proofs available nobody can question the curative virtues of this drug in diabetes.
Of course, my individual experience is not enough and so I seriously entreat all the great “guns” of Homoeopathy to try this remedy whenever they will have patients suffering from diabetes under their treatment.
Since the introduction of three new homoeopathic remedies to the homoeopathic world, i.e. Ficus religiosa, Nyctanthes arbortristis and Justicia adhatoda, I could not take up the cause of any new indigenous drug for several obstacles.
I now take up the cause of Cephalandra indica, after mature experimentation and collecting and gaining uncontested clinical evidence in its favor. I publish my experience before my esteemed colleagues at home and abroad. Diabetes is a scourge of Bengal and many intellectual giants and flowers of our country fall victims to its inroad and meet with untimely death every year.
The efficacy of remedies exerted on the human system like the law of Medes and Persians “changeth not,” and, I am sure, the efficacy of Cephalandra indica will be apparent to all who will try it.
