Mr. Satpal at the age of 60 years was always busy perfecting his new invention. He was always found either in the library reading or taking notes, or in the laboratory doing some experiments.
He seldom found time to talk to others. He did not even find time to take his meals in time.
He had not married, he was wedded to his work. The sedentary habits, without any exercise, without proper diet, and incessant work, without any rest, took its toll from his health.
He lost his sleep and appetite, & had frequent attacks of migraine. He became very irritable. A dose of Conium-IM (a homoeopathic medicine) was given to cover any faults due to celibacy. A combination of Water Violet (for aloofness) and White Chestnut (for repeated attacks of migraine) given T.D.S for 8 weeks cured the patient of all ailments.

As with any conditions affecting the digestive tract, dietary indiscretions should be rectified – this may be enough to improve the problem dramatically. Any of the following remedies should bring fast relief provided the picture fits. They are intended as aids to short-term relief only. As in the case of antacids, regular dosing with homoeopathic remedies is not recommended.
Carbo Veg.
Someone needing Carbo Veg. may experience bloating and distension in the abdominal regions which is much worse after eating even the smallest quantity of food. Distension is so bad that any pressure around the waist causes discomfort, and waistbands must be loosened. Relief is obtained from passing wind in either direction. There is likely to be a total aversion to any kind of food, especially meat, fatty foods and milk. The stomach is likely to feel very heavy after eating due to slowness of digestion. The person needing Carbo Veg. will often feel much better for exposure to fresh air and may generally feel much worse for being in a stuffy atmosphere.

Scientists also are seeking more efficient insulin-delivery methods.
The insulin pump, a small battery-powered machine that delivers insulin through a tube inserted under the skin, is an improvement over injections because the pump drips a steady flow of the hormone into the body all day long.
Adam Boroughs of Wallingford, Pennsylvania, was once taking up to six insulin injections a day, but his blood sugar was still out of control. Then his doctors prescribed the pump. “I feel a lot better,” says Mr. Boroughs. “I hang my pump on my belt, or else I wear a special T-shirt with a hole in the pocket so the tube is less noticeable. Sometimes, when I play sports, the pump gets in the way. But my friends don’t care at all.”
Patients who wear pumps, however, must do several blood tests every day to ensure that the right amount of insulin is being delivered. A study at the Mason Clinic in Seattle revealed that pump patients suffer more infections at the needle insertion site and more toxic reactions from too little insulin.
Scientists in Japan are working on a pump that works just like the pancreas. It measures the blood sugar and then releases precisely the right dose of insulin. This system has turned out to be more difficult than the developers first thought. There is still no foolproof way of measuring the sugar in the blood by a device.
At the University of Utah, researchers are infusing insulin safely, painlessly, and directly into the abdomen. They implant a small silicone rubber container just under the abdominal wall. The patient injects the insulin directly through the skin into the container, from which it flows into the abdominal cavity and is quickly absorbed.
