The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Is it the correct medicine?

What does the homeopath look for primarily, when the patient returns for the second prescription?

It may be after a month , in case of chronic cases.

He looks for these things, to know whether medicine worked or not.

***********
a) A quantum jump in the sense of well being.

b) Improved energy.

c) Increased appetite.

d) Better quality of sleep.

e) Harmony and tranquillity of temperament.

Stability (in obese people) or weight gain in under weight subjects.
Clarity of the existing or presenting symptoms or even lighter symptoms.
Suppressed symptoms (even of years ago) reappear on the surface and are permanently eradicated. This reappearance can be in a very transient form, which may not even be visible to the naked eye.

Read the above article.

It tells you a lot about what is miasmatic prescribing and what is not.

He says this is one of the ways, a case is mismanaged.

' The original disease is joined by an artificial chronic disease (due to homoeopathic medical malpractice, e.g. as in cases of polypharmacy, too frequent repetition of doses or the usage of combinations where the action of such applications has not been proved on healthy human beings.'

Dr.Banerjia is born into a family of homeopaths, spanning three generations, and he knows what he is talking about.

Dear friends,

Dr.Subrata Kumar Banerjea is widely regarded as the world's greatest contemporary authority on miasms.His books on miasmatic diagnosis and miasmatic prescribing are a must read book for any serious homeopath.Treatment of chronic diseases in terms of eradicating them from their root requires a very deep knowledge of miasms and ability to identify the active ones, the dormant ones, the ones lying in the background and also mixed miasms which are more often found in today's complex world full of toxins and suppresive treatments.For example, cancer is a mixed miasmatic disease.

His book on miasmatic diagnosis is available from B.Jain Publishers, New Delhi.The one on Miasmatic Prescribing can be obtained directly from Dr.Banerjea's website.But that is quite expensive in rupee terms.

Yes Rajiv

Any body, who is into prescribing for chronic cases should read his books on miasms.

I sometimes wonder, what are the books the qualified doctors read as a part of the curriculum?

I find their overall conceptual knowledge to be poor, particularly in their intial years after they come out from the college.

Dear Mr.Murthy,

It is a very interesting question which my friends whose families i have treated or am treating ask me.The typical question is 'If homeopathy is so wonderful as we have learned through your treatment and have experienced first hand on ourselves and our families, why is it not the dominant medical school?Why were these qualified homeopaths who we visited earlier for years not able to cure us?'

And here is my answer.In India, to become a doctor is to gain tremendous status and a license to make a lot of money.But then this is more true for allopaths.So all the best students appear at the entrance examinations for admissions to the allopathic medical colleges.After this cream of students gets admitted to allopathic medical colleges, those who could not make it there and still want to be in the medical profession go for homeopathy.A homeopath does not have the same status as an allopath and also is normally not able to make as much money as allopath.So, mediocre talent goes into homeopathic colleges.Some of these same people later on become lecturers and professors.So GIGO applies largely to most homeopathic colleges in India.Though there are some good ones no doubt.But very few in number.

Now, someone like me who has had to learn homeopathy on his own, it is a passion of a different quality.I do not make money from it but the sheer joy of healing people is tremendous.Very few qualified homeopaths that i have seen are like that.For them it is a livelihood and they adopt shortcuts based on empirical prescribing because they do not want to lose patients.Plus the talent factor is there.Most of them are mediocre students who failed to make the mainstream medical colleges.

Now, if you read books like Organon, you can straight away realise that you need a good student to grasp all those things that Hahnemann is talking about.It needs a very synthetic mind to be able to find the 'similimum' from the myriad symptoms that the patient presents.So many qualities are needed.Like being a good observer, good listener, sharp memory, patience, willingness to work hard and study all your life.So, in a nutshell, the poorer students end up in homeopathic medical colleges and the brighter ones go to the allopathic ones, and thus you see mediocrity all around.

Well said Rajiv.

We do appreciate that there are a few qualified prescribers on this forum too, who are capable, but, the quality of prescribing what we find in general, from practicing homeopaths in a clinical situation, in the towns of India is far from satisafactory.

The love for homeopathy, and the need to update knowledge by reading books continuously, is a prerequisite to be a good prescriber.

It has to be a passion, rather than a hobby, for the unqualified prescribers.

Dear Rajiv,

Pl. check up qualifying percentage of marks for admission to Nehru Homeopathic College at New Delhi...I am told by friends (Professors there )that it is around 94% marks.

Dear Pankaj,

I did mention that there are some good colleges.But they are exceptions.My point was that a budding plus two student who dreams of becoming a doctor first thinks of becoming an allopath.In fact no one in India thinks like that.A doctor means an allopath.It is a sociological truth.

So, most of the brighter students fill the allopathic medical colleges.There are some bright students in some good or excellent homeopathic colleges but they are more of an exception.

The college that you mention must be an exception.Again, being located in Delhi is an advantage.I was talking about hundreds of obscure colleges in remote areas and small towns and cities.
