Addiction to alcohol, abdominal pain 11650...India
A 28-year-old man, practising as an RMP (Registered Medical Practitioner), had been addicted to alcohol since 2013 when he was 16. He started assisting his father, also an RMP in a rural area, when he was just 12 years of age. Soon he started seeing patients on his own and his father allowed him to keep the money received from patients. This financial independence at a very young age led to unhealthy habits such as taking frequent street food and alcohol, and occasional smoking. Over the years, his alcohol consumption escalated, eventually becoming excessive, continuing from morning until night; this lead to steady decline in his overall health.
In Sept 2025, he began to have persistent abdominal pain. Relying on his limited medical knowledge, he attempted to self-medicate, but his condition only worsened. In Oct 2025, he underwent medical evaluation, which revealed peptic ulcers. He took the prescribed allopathic medication for about a month, but experienced minimal relief. Recognising the seriousness of his condition, a well-wisher tried to persuade him but he would not give up alcohol. So, he approached the practitioner who, on 4 Nov 2025, gave him, under the pretext of treating his ulcers:
CC4.2 Liver & Gallbladder tonic + CC4.5 Ulcers + CC4.11 Liver & Spleen + Dopamine Potentised 1M…in water to be sipped throughout the day.
Treatment progress:
- 11 Nov 2025: No urge to consume alcohol since starting remedy.
- 13 Nov 2025: Could not resist the urge while passing by a liquor shop, consumed excessive alcohol, lost consciousness and collapsed.
- 14 Nov 2025: Well-wisher administered remedy at TDS.
- 20 Nov 2025: Abdominal pain completely resolved; abstained from alcohol when others were drinking, and even serving them liquor without being tempted and repeatedly stated, “I don’t feel like drinking; the urge is completely gone.”
As of Mar 2026, there has been no recurrence and he has also adopted a healthy lifestyle. He prefers to continue remedy at TDS for one more month before tapering it.
