What kind of crazy treatment is this? Ignatia 200 C 3 times a day for 7 days?
If the first dose begin a healing, the next dose lead to a agrravation and the next doses will lead to a healing retreat, and finally ends up much worse than it started.
Could be that this person needs Ignatia amara, but he should take one dose of 200C, and then wait for 7 days so that medicine can do its work. After that it may be that the patient needs a new dose of 200C.
When you walk up a flight of stairs, it may be that it is best to take one step at a time.
Have you no faith in homeopathy? You prescribe homeopathic medicine as if it were allopati medicine.
Do you now Hanemanns organon ?
Paragraf 273. : 'It is totally forbidden to use more than 1 medical drug at a time to a human at the same time.'

Paragraf 275: 'Too large dose of an appropriate remedy damage by acting unnecessarily strong on the life force.'

Anyone involved in homeopathy should know 'Hahnemann Organon.'

TO Respected Parkletos ,

Readers, Respected Parkletos called my treatment crazy on this thread and also has been poking his nose in every case (also all others doctor's cases???)

i kept my cool but now i am giving Dear Parkletos the raste of his own medicine .

i copy from another thread.


Dear developer,buddy you are free to use single medicine or what ever else you choose is right for your daughter & i am not going to interfere in it but it will will unfair for anyone to make statement that :

'I was not going to use combination of homeopathy drugs. __I know that this is not considered proper,as far as classical homeopathy is concerned.'

Sir even Whole CLASSICAL homeopathic is considered unfair as far as scientists are considered,

but as classical homeopathy has a place so has combination therapy has its own place.many are using this combination medicines with great success all over the world ,only those who are a closed eye and an closes mind are unable to see or accept this results.

moreover as you as :

''Thank you Parakletos ''

you would be pleased to know that Respected Parkletos is himself suggesting Allopathic medicines on this forum and if you make a little study of his posts you will also find an interesting fact that Mr Parkletos has almost CRITICIZED almost every Doctor or prescriber in this forum:

1)
''Respected'' Parakletos criticizing Joe De Livera

(Dr Kadwa,I need a second opinion,please help
From Parakletos. on 2010-04-12

Hello.
I must say I agree with Mr.Kadwa. There are some people on this forum who call themselves homeopath, but apparently not.
A serious homeopath had asked about the symptoms your daughter has, emotionally, mentally and physically, etc. You can not just propose a medicine without further examination. In particular, there is a man here who believes Arnica is the solution to everything, not good. Suggest that you stay away from such people. It is such people who give homeopathy a bad reputation.
Seems to me that Mr. Kadwa is a more serious guy, suggest that you listen to him.
I can also help if needed. E-Mail address can be found on my profile.
Sincerely,
Parakletos
Practitioner of classical homeopathy .


for which Joe has started a whole thread against Respected P.

If you have the patience, please go through my case at
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/190517/.

Otherwise – story in brief:_
Mid last year, I developed pain/soreness in just my left breast, mid way between nipple and sternum. Initially as I had travelled and carried suitcases that were heavy, docs thought it was a muscle pull. Coincidentally the pain went off on day 1 of my period.

Same recurred again a month again, then I travelled and carried suitcases that were heavy, docs thought it was a muscle pull again. Coincidentally the pain went off on day 1 of my period.

I sought help through this forum. Mr Rishimba kindly guided me, concluded it was pain related to my cycle. Mammogram (Aug 2009) was clear. I was prescribed to try out either Conium 30 and Calc Carb 30 to take 3-4 doses for 2-3 days when pain appeared.

Both seem to work moderately and wipe out 70 – 80% of the pain in my subsequent cycles, for which I am very thankful. Initially Calc Carb seemed most effective, last time Conium,

As the pain now has a regular pattern of appearing. Starts 10 days before period, pain/soreness in just my left breast, mid way between nipple and sternum, and a sort of mirrored soreness on my back, near lower bra line (do not feel the whole chest paining through). It goes away day 1 of my period. NO LUMPS etc at all.

Am in my early 40s, all paternal side women menopaused by mid 40s…so could be I perimenopausal. Before thsi I sometimes got tenderness in both breasts before period but not like this in one spot.

IS THERE A PREVENTIVE DOSE/MASTER DOSE I CAN TRY TO ALTOGETHER STOP THE PAIN FROM COMING?

WOULD REALLY APPRECAITE ADVICE AND HELP FOR A COMPLETE CURE!!!

You said that pain starts 10 days before period so you should take the remedy 15-20 days before period ie 5-10 days should be given to the remedy to do the preventive work.

I am sorry I missed your post earlier.
Today I typed my name in the search box just to see what was there and found that I had not seen your post.

Take Phytolaca 30 three times a day.

Reduce frequency of med as soon as you begin to feel better and gradually taper it off to zero.

Post feed back in due course.

This med is best suited for your problem.

It will also take away pain from your throat and ear if there is any.

Hello.
I have reviewed your case and your posts. Frightening to see so much bad homeopathy, not one of those you've been in contact with have done some diagnostic work.

Can you say a little about when this occurred?
Did anything in particular happend in connection with this pain? Maybe something emotionally or physically? Hard work?

Your symptoms are accompanied by other subtle symptoms? For example, sweats, chills, thirst, aversion to touch, swollen glands, desire or aversion to certain foods, weak legs and arms, etc?

What is typical of your symptoms?
Are they sudden or gradual, they are constant or come and go, how frequent are they?

Do you have mental problems?
Restless, irritable, angry, nervous, crying for nothing, self-pity, hypersensitive, casually, you will be alone, anxious, desire for compassion.

Is there anything that makes the symptoms better or worse?
Hot or cold, fresh air, hot or cold packs, to sit or stand, to lie in a certain way, physical or mental exertion, emotional stress?

Sincerly

ah !


3) Respected P has criticized me also on various occasions

but I think he does all this b/c of


1)jealousy.

Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love .

Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, sadness, and disgust.

2)Failure:

Failure refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.

3)Prejudice:

A prejudice is a prejudgment: i.e. a preconceived belief, opinion, or judgment made without ascertaining the facts of a case. The word prejudice is most commonly used to refer to a preconceived judgment toward a people or a person because of race, social class, gender, ethnicity, age, disability, political beliefs, religion, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics.

It also means a prior beliefs (without knowledge of the facts) and includes 'any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence.'

I think he prescribes less and criticizes more .

Respected once got to the limit to call my treatment crazy,but i with due respect kept quit.

But know enough is enough,Respected Parkletos ,pl don't try to be EINSTEIN of homeopathy and we all know what each one's caliber is,i, at my clinic see daily 110-150 Homeopathic patients, advice and design fitness and body-building regimens for professional body-builders and fitness enthusiasts.i myself manufacture and design Homeo as well as Herbal products and i also myself have designed Homeopathic medicines to be used in inject-able form along with acupuncture points and i am getting great success with it ,but forum are not the places to reveal all secrets.

PL understand it short that this world also has a place for many many things which are NOT CONSIDERED PROPER ACC TO CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY,and moreover you are also not the ULTIMATE WORD or an dictator to publish Rules or LAWS for every one to follow.

let each one do his part towards cure and you do the same,pl don't waste your time only in criticizing and only poking your long nose with your limited knowledge of ONLY classical homeopathy that to ONLY from BOOKS.

For every one's knowledge Dr Eric Powell, to Dr A.K .Bhattacharya (who sees 700 patients on Mondays only in his clinic ),to Dr P.S.Khokhar(from whom DR Kiran Bedi I.P.S officer,and many Indian Ministers & honorable gentlemen of high rank take treatment),Dr R.L.Gupta and many many more USE ONLY COMBINATION HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES and they have proudly presented their COMBINATION HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES in books form,which are high in sales.

Everyone uses combination(as they give results in less time) but only few have GUTS to accept the fact.

I hope Respected Parkletos has now got the taste of his own medicines as Master Hahnemann said it right similia similibus curentur.

Thanks.

Dear Abhishek,
You are right. If these so called classical homeopaths were right...then all companies making combination meds (like Reckeweg, Bioron, Schwabe) ...would have shut down by now...their combination meds divisions.

But they are thriving.

People in Europe and America have yet to catch up with the progress made by South Asians /Indians in homeopathy.

Classical homeoapths have a vested interest, they don't want any patient to take a homeopathic med through self prescription....Combination meds just meet that need of a patient.

Thanks Pankaj Varma for your support.

Pankaj i tried not to comment on this constant poking by this fellow but it seems he might being more interested in criticism rather than curing the patient.

i read a thread which you posted on homeopathy & more which refers to a letter from Dr Reckewegs(uk),i am copying it for EDUCATED PATIENTS with COMMON sense to distinguish what is false amd what is true.




Combination homeopathy vs. Classical homeopathy By: MAX VARMA
New Delhi and Vancouver
October 30 2006
I made a reference to Reckeweg UK for a clarification regarding their Combination medicines. They have 96 combination specialities which are used by many people around the world.
Doubts were raised by some people regarding the utility of Combiantion medicines.

Following is the reply received by me from their Managing Director:

Quote

Dear Mr. Varma

The question of Classical as opposed to Combination Homoeopathy always provokes a debate. In the modern world there are still Practitioner's who practice classical homoeopathy only and if this is what they wish to do then we respect their feelings. Our R-Specialities have evolved after decades of hardwork and their efficacy and efficiency is beyond doubt. The fact that the products are sold to over 40 countries worldwide speaks for itself and is testimonial that the products do not cause suppression of symptoms.

What people have to understand is that Science is a continuous process of 'learning' and Practitioner's must continuously upgrade themselves with the latest knowledge and findings.

In India alone, every 10 seconds, someone buys a Reckeweg medicine and the Reckeweg company as a whole are very proud of this achievement.

In the end, it is the patient's health that is the problem and it should not matter to a Practitioner whether he cures them by classical or complex homoeopathy, herbs or food supplements.

Dear Simon,

It is a bit confusing this time as regards the reason for Jacob's banning this time.If you think i was offended by any of his posts on the Indian Homeopathy thread then it is not so.He is a great friend of mine and i think he is an excellent homeopath and really wants to help the people.If people don't provoke him, he does not attack anyone.

But of course, moderator's judgement is final.

He was banned for asking for contact away from the forum, and for antagonistic posts.

I asked him to tone down his posts, as I have countless times in the past, and he responded thus:

'...I do not see I need to 'tone down my posts'.

...

As for the threat of being banned, this really isn't much of a threat at all, is it Simon, and we both know this. So wouldn't it be better to use your 'powers' of moderation in a more fair and nom threatening manner? I find this prevents people becoming annoyed at being spoken to as if they were children. '

As a new member on this forum, I feel the moderator has taken the right decision.

Jacob's tones were intimidating to say the least, especially for new members like me and the thread 'Indian homeopathy' was just to vent out his own ideas which sounded nothing more than pontification.

No one can refute the fact that this forum was much more productive without those endless debates about a miniscule strata of 'Indian homeopaths' who are not good enough according to Jacob.

Some time back , some Scientists came here arguing that homeopathy is nothing but water mixed with alcohol.They tried to argue that homeopathy is qauckery and all of those who believe in homeopathy is a bunch of fools.

During that time this self appointed protector of homeopathy was not to be seen around .Now suddenly he feels that Homeopathy is to be protected from the bad influence of Indian homeopaths and has started bashing indian homeopathy .
I dont think that there is such thing like indian homeopathy.
Bad homeopaths and good homeopaths are there through out the world. And since India happens to be one of the very few countries where english is spoken and is understood by many,it is quite natural that in many internet forums,presence of Indians are felt more.

George Vithoulkas speak about a great indian homeopath,

David little talks about another great indian homeopath ,

so it depends upon ones own mindset where you focus the spotlight. If somebody wants to highlight the negative aspects of a good system, it is upto him to do that and its upto others to ignore him.

Dear PANKAJ VERMA , i read you letter in homeopathy & more, from Dr Reckeweg's. i posted it for readers to educate themselves and not just lead by talks of classical only,i am not against classical or in matter of fact against any pathy, b/c all pathies aim towards cure but their methods are different so i propose to have symbiosis i.e coexistence of all pathies.

i did not wanted to just start this debate as it is useless,i have all many more information which will make every one think what they are consuming as medicine,but not now.

thanks Pankaj Verma ,thanks a lot ,i have due respect for you & Joe De Livera sir.

hope many patients have cleared some doubts.

First I would say that I am full of respect for those who use their time and knowledge to help people with their health problems.
When it comes to my criticism, it is based on my concern for the patient, and homeopathy.
It is a wrong perception of my position regarding the combination remedies, here on the forum. It's not that I think this medicine is not working, but I think this kind do not reach the classical homeopathy. It, in most cases, simply removing the symptoms, not causes, or background to the health problem. But it works, there is no doubt about this.
I also suspect that the use of combination drugs, is a very convenient solution for many doctors. And easily earned money. You do not spend as much time on the patient and the results appear quickly. For example, the eczema will disappear quickly and the patient is satisfied. Unaware that the reason that eczema occurred, is still there.

It is asserted here in this thread that I have proposed allopathic remedies for a patient. Where have I done this? Please show me where I have written something like that.

One last thing, I see that there are many here who call themselves Dr. Is it really so that they all have graduated from university, and has the right to such a title?

Sincerely, Parakletos.

1)Homeopathy but also do

2)fitness & supplement consulting for Body- builders

3)Manufacture Homeo-Herbal Formulas,you would be plsead to know that my own herbal product of diabetes has great demand even in US & UK, & ''DB POWDER'' is ordered from courier to these countries & also all india.

4) much more but


still i humbly say cure of patient is utmost imp for me not gluing to a particular pathy,i said it earlier SYMBIOSIS is important between all pathies to cure a sick ,pl have an open mind and see with open eyes than we all are now close to building Homes on Moon & we still fight each other lile JUNGLIES.

Here are extracts from an interview with David Little, an American Homeopath who spent time in India watching how homeopathic doctors have to work in India.

It is a very interesting interview.

This is for all those who have no knowledge of the extent of homeopathic development in this sub-continent.

Source: http://hpathy.com/homeopathic-interviews/david-little-interv....
-----------------------------
Leela: Yes, our professors advocated yoga therapy while on homeopathic treatment. So we do advise our patients who are open to it, to take advantage of opportunities available around them and learn at least the various techniques of relaxation and meditation. I see most people benefiting from this.

Do tell us some of your early experiences with practicing homeopathy.

David: I was originally trained in the tradition of James Kent and American Homoeopathy and I was used to 1 to 2 hour appointments in a one-on-one situation in the West. When I came to India all this was to change radically! At this time, my emphasis in case taking was on the psychology rather than the physical diseases as many of my patients in the USA were suffering from emotional difficulties related to dysfunctional relationships. I was using high potency Cs in the single dry dose and waiting and watching for a relapse of symptoms before contemplating any repetition. In these years everything was very dramatic. The cures were dramatic. The aggravations were dramatic. The successes were dramatic and the failures were dramatic. TOO dramatic! I was led to believe that in many cases the idea was “no pain – no gain”. I remember telling patients that aggravations were a good sign but I was never really comfortable with the idea.

Leela: Ahh, this reminds me a lot of my own early homeopathic days as well. My first experience of homeopathic aggravation was of my own, very sensitive dad, aggravating badly after 2 doses of Bryonia 200C. He was in agony, which initially due to my ignorance, I did not take seriously! It was only once he was given Nux Vomica 30 (which thankfully antidoted in a few minutes), did I realize what agony he was going through. I was really upset that these 2 doses could cause him so much of pain. Since then I have had this deeply uncomfortable feeling about anyone going through aggravations especially the sensitive ones.

So you were saying ….

David: Yes, when I first came to India I remember treating a few patients successfully and then suddenly a long line of patients appeared in the mornings. How was I going to treat all these people? I was used to seeing 4 or 5 patients in a day not 15 or 20. At the same time, I had to treat the most virulent acute miasms and the most chronic degenerative diseases I had ever seen. This was the first time I treated typhoid, malaria or tuberculosis and those near death. In the West most seriously ill persons are in the hospitals under the care of the allopathic doctors, but in India they were all on my front porch! I realized immediately that the methods I was using were not going to be appropriate for these cases under these conditions.

Leela: Isn’t this really exciting to see? That homeopathy is a system of medicine with “teeth”? It fascinates me how gently we can heal even serious disease conditions with homeopathy. It does take a leap of faith and courage with a good background of learning and experience though. But it is well worth the leap! Especially if one has committed support and team work.

David: Right, so I knew I had to make some changes and I had to make them fast. I realized that the diseases I was seeing, and the conditions in which I was seeing them, was very similar to what Hahnemann, Boenninghausen and Hering experienced in the 19th century. For this reason, I decided it would be best for me to start my studies all over again and return to the basics. This, of course, brought me back to the Organon and Chronic Diseases as well as introduced me to Hahnemann’s Lesser Writings. At the same time, I started studying modern pathology books so I could understand the nature of the diseases I was now seeing.

I thought that I best return to “beginner’s mind” but with the advantage of my years of experience. I knew I had to open up to new possibilities as well as old little known realities. I began to study the repertory and materia medica day and night so that I knew exactly where to find information on the most proven 300 remedies. More knowledge was the only way I could treat so many patients in a day. I was going to have to get to the most similar remedy much faster than I had in the past.

Leela: Where did you experience the Indian homeopathic practice first-hand?

David: I decided that I best tour the country and see how the Indian practitioners worked under the weight of such a patient load and treated such a wide variety of acute and chronic complaints. At this time, I studied with a Doctor Isaac who was the head of a homeopathic collage and hospital in Kerala, South India. I was absolutely thrilled to see a full homoeopathic hospital and out patient clinic in operation. I knew there used to be homoeopathic hospitals in the USA but they closed before I was born. During the first days in the outpatient clinic I suffered from severe culture shock as I watched Dr. Isaac and his students treat around 100 out patients and then do the hospital rounds in the afternoon.

Leela: Our readers would love to hear more of what you call the ‘culture shock’ of your Indian experience.

David: Dr. Isaac would sit at his desk with no repertory or materia medica with a long line of patients in front of him and a few chairs around his desk. He would quickly assess the patients in the line, prescribe a remedy, and then say “next”. Occasionally, he would pull a person out of the line and make them sit next to him so he could question them further at the same time as he continued to ask questions to those in the line in front of him. It was obvious that these were cases he wished to give a closer look. At times he would reach into his desk drawer and pull out an old battered copy of Kent’s Repertory and look up a few rubrics. As soon as he was satisfied he would write down the prescription and excuse the patient.

In this manner he would sit with a long line passing in front of him and 3 or 4 persons in chairs around him. Once in awhile he would tell the nurses to admit a certain patient in the hospital ward. In this manner he would examine several cases at once. As I looked around at the masses of suffering patients seeking help I wondered how anyone could treat so many cases effectively. I was used to taking 1 to 1-1/2 hours during a first consultation and now I was expected to prescribe in around 10 minutes!

One morning Dr. Isaac looked at a patient, asked him a few questions, and then wrote down Calcarea. I said, “Why are you giving him Calcarea?” He told me to take the patient aside and interview him more closely and see for myself. I took the patient aside and began to ask him questions. In no time out came symptoms like cold head sweats, coldness in spots, the desire for eggs and meat, longing for fresh air, the fear others will notice their decline, etc. I was quite surprised and went back to Dr. Isaac and asked him, “How did you know?”

Dr. Isaac looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes and said that after 40 years of sitting at his desk “patients were no longer just people standing in line. They were remedies waiting to be given!” I decided that I would do the follow ups on his new cases so I could see how well these patients were doing on remedies chosen so quickly. To my great surprise most of these patients were responding quite well to the first prescriptions. Those that were not doing well were taken out of the line in the outpatient clinic and put in the chairs next to Dr. Isaac. Now he would take their cases more carefully and give his second prescription if necessary. In this manner Dr. Isaac cured 10,000s of patients who came from far and wide to see him.

Leela: This must have been his honorary (free) work at the government hospital right? Did he practice privately as well?

David: Dr. Isaac also ran a private practice at his home on the weekends. Here the case load was much lighter and we had more time to examine each patient. He was treating a good number of mongoloid children and getting great results! I examined youths that were in their teenage years who did not even look like mongoloids. If one looked very, very closely one could see certain physical signs like high cheekbones and the Mongolian lids but nothing more. They were all doing very well in school and considered absolutely normal by others. These persons had been his patients since childhood.

Leela: How interesting!! Mongoloid Children leading a near normal life! This is what I was talking about with a colleague earlier. There has never been any clear documentation done in India of treatment of these types of (incurable) cases that make up a confident reference point for the young homeopath today. How did Dr. Isaac explain this improvement?

David: He told me that the key was to begin treatment when they were infants and stay with them throughout the early growing years and puberty. If this was done they would live a normal life. Those who came later in life showed significant but less dramatic improvements. I looked at the records of these cases and found no new fancy tricks or unusual remedies. Most cases were resolved with remedies like Bartya Carbonica, Bartya Muriaticum, Calcarea, Bufo, Phosphorus, Natrum Muriaticum, Medorrhinum, Syphilinum, etc. The major teaching I learned from Dr. Isaac was to learn the major characteristics of the most proven 300 remedies very well. In this manner one can do good work under even the heaviest patient load under the worst conditions.

Now it is 25 years later and I understand what Dr. Isaac was trying to teach me all those years ago. Now, I can work under the most difficult conditions with a large number of patients when necessary. I have treated up to 50 patients in one day with my assistants. Sometimes I hardly have time to look at the repertory or materia medica and must use my inner experience alone. I do not do my best work in such demanding circumstances but I can do good work because I have learned the basic materia medica very well.

Leela: We were constantly reminded in MedicalCollege to read and re-read the Materia Medica of the commonly indicated remedies every day of our professional lives. It was the only way to be an efficient homeopath.

Today we have computer software that makes the job easier for us. We tend to rely less on that ‘inner experience’. I think as homeopaths this reliance on our inner experience based on solid, factual Materia Medica, should be an aim to achieve in our homeopathic development, as we understand remedies and their symptomatic expressions.

David: The computer is a blessing. It allows the homoeopath to access and assess a great amount of data very quickly and easily. The digital medium is perfectly suited to a large data based system like Homoeopathy. I remember the old days when one had to depend on repertory sheets to assess the numerical value of rubrics. Much of ones practice was dependent on one’s study of the materia medica and how well they recognized the leading 300 remedies. We had to concentrate on learning the golden characteristics of the remedies and understanding how to observe them in various forms in patients. The repertory was often used to confirm a few important symptoms rather than to base ones entire case upon.

Leela: Yes many of our senior professors knew the Materia Medica like the back of their hands! They could tell you which page of Lippe or Boericke to turn to, to look for a particular characteristic symptom of a remedy! “Check page 352, in the top right hand corner, 6th line …”

David: With a computer today, it is much easier to find the smaller remedies one might have overlooked due to the difficulty of dealing with so much information mechanically. Nevertheless, the old computer maxim “garbage in – garbage out” was never more applicable. One must be very careful to judge the characteristic value of the symptoms they choose so that the symptoms they collect are of a high quality. It is much better to use a smaller number of characteristic rubrics of a high quality than collect a larger number of poor quality rubrics in the name of a false totality.

It is so easy to use 10 or15 symptoms of rather poor quality and come up with fictitious answers. One must be very careful to judge the characteristic value of the symptoms they choose so that the symptoms they collect are of a high quality.

Many homeopaths are forgetting how important it is to study the materia medica daily. There is a tendency to think of case taking solely as electronic information gathering and sorting rather than an application of the experiential materia medica to our patients. One must remember that the symptoms of the materia medica found in the repertory have been divided, redacted and redistributed. The original images and their complete symptoms with locations, sensations, modifications and concomitants have been broken up for easy indexing.

One last thing, I see that there are many here who call themselves Dr. Is it really so that they all have graduated from university, and has the right to such a title?

Sincerely, Parakletos.
Healer. And practitioner of classical homeopathy


Dear Parakletos,

I don't have a degree in homeopathy....but homeopathy and me have been together for over 25 years. Here is a sample of what others have to say about my assistance. You will find this in the back pages of ABC Homeopathy Forum.
There are many such compliments that members have showered on me after they benefited from my assistance.
I donot ridicule anyone holding a degree...yet ...at the same time take others seriously who are providing guidance here without any degree.

Neither have I ever pretended that I hold a degree.

I have been guiding members at ABC Forum since 2003.

Ultimately, it is the skill, application and dedication that separate the chaff from the seed.

Best wishes,
Pankaj Varma

Re: pilonidal cyst From deandio on 2008-10-06
Hello everyone. I'm a white male born in the USA in my late 30's. I wanted to write in and express my gratitude to Pankaj Varma for helping remedy my pilonidal cyst using Myristica and the two different doses of Silicea.

I've had this cyst for at least 10 years and it has incapacitated me on numerous occasions, too many to count. I have been able to better live with the cyst by taking a primrose oil gel and a flax oil gel once a day.

A month ago I had one of the most severe flareups and decided to look into different alternative therapies. The flax and primrose worked to a certain extent but I would still get flareups and this was the worst yet. All forums I visited suggested surgery and I was just going to suffer through the pain.

I am strongly against many western medical procedures so surgery for this ailment was out of the question. I followed the instructions which Pankaj Varma had given on many threads here and the results have been extraordinary. I was not expecting such incredible results. The cyst was absolutely HUGE, at least the size of a golf ball and would not, for lack of a better word, pop. It kept getting worse and I couldn't even turn over in my sleep without pain. I took the myristica for 4 days, the low dose of silicea for 8 days and the high dose of silicea for a day. Miraculous recovery!

Thank you Pankaj Varma! I would like to send you a donation and will try to email you directly. I am truly astounded and I would say such treatment is light years ahead of a surgical procedure. I knew two people who had surgery and the cyst came back and they were in more pain than before.

My personal experience with this homeopathic remedy has been incredible and it astonishes me to hear people badmouth the gifts which come from this dicipline (homeopathy). I've lived with this ailment for a decade and found no hope in 'modern medicine'. Cutting someone open seems to be the best treatment available which seems to me barbaric in contrast with homeopathy.

Doctors (as in most professions) must truly care about what they do in order to really help people. Pankaj Varma has really made an impact on my life and I wanted to just let people know my experience with regards to his help.

I feel the USA will never really accept such treatment and cures. The medical profession makes more money on suffering than it does on healing and attempts to outlaw self-healing whenever possible. It is an industry first and a service second...

I just want to let you know, there are qualified homeopathic doctors who seek my assistance in analysing complex cases that they come across in their practice.

Pankaj Varma
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
But ...I have a library of over 70 homeopathic books...which I keep reading again and again and again..and....

I have networking with qualified homeopathic doctors with whom experiences are shared...and new insights gained.

Best wishes

However, dear Parakletos...ash30 is waiting for your guidance through ABC Forum.
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Dear ash30.
If you are still interested in homeopathic help, and have not been scared of all the writings and discuss about your treatment, I would like to help you.
The reason for my criticism is that such a treatment you were prescribed, can lead to a worsening of your problems, take note that I say: Can. I think it is unnecessary to do this way, when it is possible to treat in a more humane method. As I always say: It is better to take one step at a time, instead of "running at full speed," and risking damage and scare the patient.

Have a nice day.
Sincerly, Parakletos.

So you would not like to share your wisdom with other members of the ABC Forum ??
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Mr.Pankaj Varma.
The reason I asked, ash30, to contact me at my e-mail. Is because of all the writings on this thread, it's very disturbing. (You are an excellent example.)

In fact, many people write to me directly on my e-mail address, perhaps because they think their problems are too private to go public with them.
My wisdom, I use to help my patients, not for public entertainment.

Sincerly, Parakletos.

No need to hide behind excuses.

The ABC Forum does not encourage direct contact. Infact, it is against the rules of the Forum.

The purpose of this Forum is to share the knowledge and make it available for future times as well.

Even if two persons disagree, it is okay with the Forum. However, the discussion has to remain healthy and not go into mud slinging.

If it is your desire to promote your practice through ABC Forum..then ABC does not allow that.
