The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Is this Homeopathy and Forum !!

Everybody posting advice on Forum....don't treat them as equal.... ..becoz some have very little experience and a few have lot of experience.....quality of advice is much different.



Some new comers are just trying to build a paid practice out of their postings here on ABC...I have been informed by patients seeking advice.



Some others are just trying to gain importance by counting the number of posts they have made on ABC in a year....without regard to quality of advice. They are suggesting the same single medicine for all ailments without bothering to analyse the ailment and its possible cure.



Some are just trying to show down others...without bothering about the condition of the patient seeking advice.



How ridiculous.



The patient and homeopathy should come first !!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Some come here looking for women.



Some won't help unless they know if you're single or married.



Some are looking for a place to live.



Great subject so much to say about it



SO SORRY THAT HELP IS SO CONDITIONAL
 
Pat2006 last decade
Some are experimenting and treating people like lab animals.


But would it be any different if we saw a paid 'professional' with many years of experience?

Who can we trust these days when few people truely care about helping people. Who can we trust when few people really are interested in seeing people well.

Too many people in the world are not happy to see others well.

Thought for the day !!

One should realise the truth that the principle of Atma (Soul) that is present
in
all beings is one and the same. As man is unable to understand his true
nature, he is facing all kinds of problems in life. He is deluded by
thinking that he is the body. When one realises that the same Atma that
dwells in him or her also dwells in other living beings, one will experience
and
enjoy Divine proximity always. One who realises the Atmic principle
leads
his life with the firm conviction that Daiva Sannidhi (divine
proximity) is
his Pennidhi (greatest wealth).

Best wishes,

Pankaj,
Those are my thoughts exactly. Two full marks to you to muster the courage to adress this issue.

Any suggestions on how we can address this?

My thoughts are that we could allow people to review each other, but I can see this leading to a few confrontations.

Thoughts anyone? If we do this, what questions could we ask? If we don't do this, what can we do instead?

Dear Simon,
It would be wrong to curb the spontanious manner of the Forum. Best would be that members apply a self-regulation...about which you should keep reminding them once a month.

There could be other ways.

Best wishes,
Pankaj Varma
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
I like pankaj's idea.


Thank God most of them stay for only a little while and hopefully they don't cause too much harm.


I do what I can when I can to warn people.

And thank God Joe De Livera and Pankaj stick up for themselves when they are under attack by new comers.

Oftentimes, I keep away from the site because of what I see going on here and don't know what to do about it.
 
Pat2006 last decade
spelling correction in my post:

*spontaneous
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Yes,
This has been a point of concern for many. Such a big frum should be with more rules to regulate postings, for the ultimate aim of any homeo forum is to spread Homeopathy and help people. But if not regulated, the cause would get harmed. I would suggest the moderator to give a tag of prescriber to some limited members, so that people can take only their prescriptions to be reliable. The prescribers can be chosen by checking their qualifications or they can be choosen through the moderators own experience with their past posts. This would not restrain any one from posting, but the prescribers' prescriptions become more credible.
Regards,
Rajendra.
 
lifesstudent last decade
I agree with lifesstudent. The credentials of the prescribers have to be approved and the names listed in the forum. Pankaj deserves to be appreciated for initiating this issue. Also, I suggest to have a separate thread for the prescribers to discuss and decide on a particular medicine. This is not the place to experiment. People come here with a hope that they can get relief from the ailment. Their hope shouldn't be ruined. As Pat2006 rightly said most of the time the help is conditional. This is a kind of great service to the society.
 
muruganrsa last decade
Pankaj, do you mean self regulation as in a 'board' of members regulate other members, or that each member regulates themself. The latter would perhaps rely too much on qualities latent in the offenders.

Lifestudent, Muruganrsa,
Unfortunately, checking credentials is simply not possible, as proving the identity of anyone online is notoriously difficult. Additionaly, some of the most respected posters on here don't have qualifications in homeopathy - see Pankaj's profile for an example.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. What we could do is ask anyone who posted a health complaint to sum up whose advice they followed, and whether it helped, and make this information available in the profiles of users. Thoughts?

Hi Simon(moderator)

Your advice about those people using homeopathic suggestions given here shall post their feedback is very good irrespective of the topic in the hand. I'd like people here to post their feedback about what advice they followed? how they got cured? This not only will help new members searching same type of problems also that will help those prescribers about where they stand, and how much they've been correct in prescribing.

And confining the forum to only professional graduates will be like spurning the wisdom of others' experience who may not have professional qualification.
 
maheeru last decade
In the USA it is not necessary that a homeopath have a college education nor any sort of credentials in order to be a homeopath.

Credentials do not prove anything. Some people go to college and get good grades by cheating.


I think a good indication of someone who is not a reliable homeopath is one who bashes another homeopath. This is not to be confused with those who stick up for themselves by doing what may appear bashing back in order to defend themselves.

Pankaj who started this thread mentioned that some homeopaths prescribe the same remedy over and over again and he is doing the same thing. He is telling everyone to take the exact same remedies for chickenungia flu.

Anyone who comes here bashing others should be kept an eye on.
 
Pat2006 last decade
Great logic !!!

I said for different ailments someone is repeatedly suggesting one single med ....Pat ...there appears to be an error in your understanding.

I would request all persons who have benefitted from my advice on chicken guniya fever and its remedy...kindly make a suitable post here.
thanks
Best wishes,
Pankaj Varma

Pat !!

I am reproducing the exact words I used in my first post on this thread.

You should have read the post clearly before making allegations on me.

Pat...I had a better impression of your intellectual capabilities !!
You are making me to think differently.

Pankaj Varma
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
You are not analyzing either.

Please justify the 45 minutes to an hour or more a homeopath is suppose to do before suggesting a remedy.


Do you seriously think I believe that you are devoting hours to each question in order to suggest a remedy?


Are you really that generous?
 
Pat2006 last decade
Yes Pat I spend a couple of hours every day replying to the queries here and direct e-mails that I receive from people. Direct e-mails are also many in number.

At times I refer to my library of homeopathic books ..(library...running into about 60 books)...for an appropriate reply.

Only a few days back I wrote on Dipika's thread that...'it is 3.30 hours past midnight here!'.

At this moment, just when I finsihed the last post here,it is 1.05 a.m. in India.

There is still some homeopathic work left for me to do !!

Mind you... my bread earning profession is different from homeopathy!!

Pankaj

It would be foolish for me to believe that homeopaths and especially you, rely soley on books and ignore your experience.


I know you better than you think.

I KNOW YOU ARE EXTREMELY WISE AND INTELLIGENT AND LOADED WITH TONS OF EXPERIENCE AND WISDOM.


There is no way I will believe you or any other homeopath with as many years of experience as you have that you spend many hours researching before suggesting EACH and EVERY remedy.


For homeoapths who see many people in one day, do you honestly believe that it is humanly possible to do many hours of research on every patient.


There are not enough hours in a day to do all the research some homeopaths claim is needed in order to suggest a remedy.

Maybe at first, when a homeopath is learning they have to spendmany hours researching but as they learn more and more, they can suggest remedies off the top of their head. Some homeopaths fake it as if they are indeed spending a lot of hours doing research in order to justify their fees.
 
Pat2006 last decade
I believe that there are homeopaths out there who take on challenging and difficult cases, and I can believe that they do indeed spend a lot of time taking notes and listeing and observing and researching.
 
Pat2006 last decade
Pat, Pankaj?

No, don't argue. That's not the point of this thread, nor this forum, partiucularly after a thread pointing out the problem with bashers.

Simon
 
moderator last decade
I'm not bashing anyone.

Just expressing the facts as I know them
 
Pat2006 last decade
moderator

This is the reason I avoid this site because whenever I express my opinion or express the facts as I see them, it is viewed as bashing.

But since I care about Pankaj and his reputation. I'm pointing out how he is coming accross not only to me but to others as well.
 
Pat2006 last decade
What a site like this needs is someone who is objective. As long as there is no objectiivity there will continue to be issues as mentioned by Pankaj at the start of this thread.


And if you're serious about controlling bashing, then do something about it. They are not hard to spot and they primarily come here bashing in order to make themselves look good and get paying clients.
 
Pat2006 last decade
Pat,
I do homeopathic work as a passion and not for earning a living....tht is why I go the 'extra mile' !

If defending my self from your unjustified insinuations is 'bashing'....then be it so !!

See the thread 'IT is good to know this !' started by me in year 2003.

Best wishes,
Pankaj Varma
