Dr. Bidani,

“Dr. V. KRISHNAMURTHY"

As this learned physician is claiming himself as the first to declare “Polyporus Pinicola” as a specific for chikungunya (please see the attached PDF), I think he will be the best person to help you in this regard.

You'll get whereabouts of him from the attached PDF.

Thanks friends for your inputs.

[Debby Bruck]

Simply awesome.

[Dr Muhammed Rafeeque]

During the outbreak of chikungunya, we had many cases not responding to the seemingly indicated drugs. Hence, we had to try some clinical tips. A few cases responded to Polyporus p, but we got better response with propylamine. Lycopersicum esc also helped to manage the pains after chikungunya.

[Dr. Navneet Bidani]

Dear friends,
I tried it in a couple of patients suffering from Post-Chikungunya arthritis but am sorry to say that I found our old medicines like Rhus Tox, Bryonia, Eupatorium etc based on totality more efficient than Polyporus. The reason behind this one may be our lack of understanding the totality of this medicine.

[Dr.Vikas Verma]

In Post-Chikungunya Pain in joints Calc, Sulph, Nux, Tuberculinum, Helleborus may also work well

[Dr Muhammed Rafeeque]

Rare remedies rarely cure, because they rarely become similar to the totality.

[Ranga Sai]

Polyporus acted very well and did a very commendable job in a patient with polyarthritis rheumatica, she being worse in the rains; Rhus tox though seemingly indicated and given did little benefit.

I used the 200th of polyporus.
