Hello,
I am a new subscriber to your e-zine and am very much enjoying reading
the articles.
My question relates to a remedy. In the materia medica section,
the remedy Aloe socratina has a list of remedies that it is similar
to...one of the listed is Gamb. I could not locate it your online
materia medica list. Could you direct me to where I could learn
more about it and it's full name?
Thank you for your help.

Dear Dr. Bhatia, I am much impressed of the editorial of Oct issue
of Hpathy Ezine. It has to be 'cautios yes' because, in my opinion,
serious and complicated cases are not ventured by Homoeopaths. We
get ever so many calls in papers for philonthropic financial help
for chest and renal troubles. We can take those cases contactng
papers for speedy and perfect cures without resorting tranwplanting
or using knives.
Homoeopaths must recognize the difficulty in finding the correct
constitutional remedy in a given situation and take the assistance
of the almost mechanized system of Allopathy for easy, perfect and
harmless cures. They do not behave anti each other because they
work in different fields. While Homoeo remedies work deep into the
vital forces i.e. the power of existence of life, the Allopathy
remedies work only on the visible and examinable parts of the body.
As such there is no comparison between Homoeopathy and Allopathy.
At this point I shall say my mind. Actually both must be considered
complementary to each other so that a better system may be found
for the well being of humanity. They assist or complement each other.
That is why many Allopathy doctors world over who have come to know
of its efficacy, use homoeopathy medicines also together. It is
a fact during my practice I have seen while Allopathy doctors prescribe
medicine for a so called ‘infection’ to be taken for
ten days the patient will get cured in 2 or 3 days when assisted
by Homoeopathy. For cleaning a stain on the floor we use brush also
with water. When water is homoeopathy Allopathy is brush.
Science of Allopathy has provided enormous amount of information
about the body and also the mind as independent entities. This knowledge
is the result of the painstaking labor of thousands of dedicated
scientists. This accumulated treasure is humanity’s precious
heritage and it would be the height of folly to ignore it or undervalue
it. Further, physical curative medicines have attempted removing
diseases from individuals. Specialisation and micro specialisation
have made medical care very efficient. We must also appreciate maintenance
of health through preventive medicines has helped human society
to very nearly get rid of diseases like small-pox, blindness, goiter,
plague, etc
No comparison between Homoeopathy and Allopathy.
There might have been some instances where I would have had to
quote the ill effects or total inability of Allopathy system in
my ile 'CURE'. These are only presentation of practical difficulty,
as it exists under that system which fact is being accepted by individual
Doctors.
I shall venture to add, both the systems may be synchronized by
two ways as follows. In one way the Allopathy world, having come
to know of their limitations, must include the irrefutable principles
of Homoeopathy in their medical curriculum. In another way, there
are specialists in Allopathy for different types of diseases, parts
of body or functioning of the organs. The Homoeopaths do not have
to do anything for specialisation because they see body as a whole
for any medicine including mind. Therefore they may be taken as
specialists in daily medicination.
. William Boericke has prepared his repertory on the basis of generally
understood pathological and physiological headings but suggested
only homoeopathic remedies. He himself quotes in his Dr pocket size
Materia Medica in 1927 the words of Dr. J. Compton Burnette as follows:
“The fact is we need any and every way of finding the right
remedy; the simple simile, the simple symptomatic similimum and
the farthest reach of all –the pathologic similimum and I
maintain that we are all still well within the lines of Homoeopathy
that is expansive, progressive, science fostered and science fostering.”

Dear Dr B,
I would just like to thankyou for your wonderful newsletters, I
look forward to them!
I was especially interested to read about the History of homoeopathy
in Victoria, as that is where I live and am currently doing post
graduate studies in homoeopathy at VCHH.
Thanks again,
Keep up the great work!

Dear Dr. Navin Pavaskar, I went through every word of your interview
done by Dr. Leela found in hpathy ezine Oct 2006 issue and was impressed
your understanding oif Homoeopathy philosophy and practicing in
its spirit. It was more difficult in my ear;ier stage o pracataice,
1963 onwards to convince public of Homoeopathy phylosophy even now
people are not convinced of treatment by Homoeopathy. On the one
hand they are attracted to mechanical level of our body as presented
by Allopathy, on the other hand Homoeopaths are not ready to take
complicated and terminal illmness. They get satisfied with whatever
they are able to earn and settled in life.
I thank you for presenting my small matters of chest pains elaborated
with clinical, pathologicaland medical phrases which I, as a layman,
do not know ABC of them and a Homoeopath need not know actually
as in my case all these definitions and explanations. however you
have taken so much interest in such presentation for qualified Homoeopaths
to
follow.
Of course convincing public for Homoeopathy treatment takes a little
pains. But nowadays, in the south public are aware of Homoeopathy
and at least they are convinced of its quality of 'no after or ill
effects'. I took only patients who were stopped any further treatment
due to the limitations of Allopathy or the persons' inability to
meet such high costs. Therefore I had no difficulty in convincing
the patient for Homoeopathic treatment. But I had peculiar experience.
Since I select remedies carefully to tally with the symptoms they
get
cured in one or two doses in quick short period and they used get
convinced that what they had vowed with a particular God effected
the cure. The total absence of any paraphernalia and conditions
advisedby other systems results as if it is not the remedy but their
faith that
effected cure. It is not just passing remarks. Such people are very
confident of their vow.
Your voice would be better heard that initially we must try only
remedies to mitigate the suffering of the patient and constutional
remedy later for a perfect and losting cure.
Dr. Leela: That's very interesting! What were the remedies you
used? Did you use constitutional remedies in tandem with the acutely
indicated remedy?
Dr. Navin: Always we needed to start with acute simillimums as
they would come to the hospital in acute distress. The remedies
I used were Opium, Terebinth, Merc sol, Alumina, Lachesis, Ars Iod,
to mention a few. Once the acute stage was relieved, we moved on
to the
constitutionally indicated remedy to complete the cure for the long
term
Yours Truly, K.V.Natarajan

Iam glad to see dr Luc,s crystal clear opinion on true homoeopath.Eventhough
its heading is different it gives clear visiuals about a true homoeopath.Hope
few "i did this &idid that" homoeopaths turn around
,open their eyes & then teach beginners systematically so as
to overcome much repeated trivial but heartbreaking errors.

Hello,
I very much appreciate your magazine - especially the articles about
the hospitals in India and all the wonderful work being done there.
I was wondering if you had a direct email contact for Dr. Navin
Pavaskar.
(I am aware of the contact for the course for foreigners).
thank you

dear Dr Lewis: ( do you mind if i call you that?)
I have been reading things you have written at hpathy.com for some
time. I Have always enjoyed your readable, easy-to-understand style
and your sense of humour.
I have a background which is a little bit like yours (as per interview
by Kelly Young at hpathy.com June '05)..I liked Carleton Fredericks,
and Adele Davis also and they were my introductions to good health
long ago..(sigh). I have continued my studies and practice
of nutrition and health and natural healing over the years, studying
with an herbalist , and studying homeopathy a little on my own.
I also took a correspondence course in homeopathy..but i know so
little.. Still, have had some success with just helping people who
i meet, homeopathically. I really would like to be able to do more.
My question is: do you have one place where you have articles
written, either on the internet or elsewhere? Perhaps hpathy.com
is the best place to find things.
I am particularly interested in your explanations of dosing in
water, and using succussions.. but i have some questions about the
fine points of using this method...which i truly believe may be
the BEST way of dosing.. like how many ounces the bottle should
be, and how best to succuss..
would you kindly direct me to where i can find the largest selection
of your tips and helps in using homeopathic remedies?
i cannot begin to tell you how much i have enjoyed reading the
things i have read which you have shared at hpathy.com so far..
!both articles, interviews and posts at the forum.
I guess one of the big parts of this e mail may be a big THANK
YOU.!!
**THANK YOU ****
sincerely,
agnes kippen

just want to say that I absolutely love Elaine Lewis's articles.
They are so well written and explain so much.
I really enjoy reading them. They especially help simplify some
of the confusing areas for a new student of homeopathy which is
truly appreciated.
I hope Elaine continues to write more.

Individualisation is the final concept in homeopathic treatment.
In chronic cases individualisation is only the option for cure.
Whereas in case of acutes individualisation in respect of available
symptomats is necessary, but the treatment or drugs cannot be standardised
or cannot be fixed in the name of therepautic approach which is
against to the homeopathic principles and the results are also poor.
Here, in case of Hospital set up, the standardisation is most important
approach in respect of homeopathy treatment; that is - in councelling
about homeopathic treatment, case taking, investigations, analysis
of the case by using various technics as per standardisation, case
management etc. Unless there is no standardisation in approach and
management of the case the hospital concept would be a failure one.
In this juncture I suggest the people in hospital concepts to draw
- design and publish the Manual of the hospital in which standardisation
approaches should be designed for the guidence of the physician
and staff. A manual for the hospital is a must if it is to be run
on professional level. thank you.

Apropos of the interview,Dr.Navin's journey in the homeopathic
field is interesting.His admission about the limitations of homeopathic
practice in emergencies is realistic.Working side by side with Allopathic
doctors is good for developing clinical confidence and removing
the Allopathic indifference towards the gentle and effective homeopathic
system.His experience,obstacles and success in serving poor tribal
people is praiseworthy.Nodoubt,if there is good and selfless service,money
flows in automatically.The interview kindles the hope that homeopathy
can take the centre stage of medical services sooner or later.His
institute ICR is a milestone in the development of homeopathic 'protocol
and clinical system' in India.

Comments on Editorial Oct.06
Dear sir,
I agree with your view that it is time again for Homeopathic hospitals,where
the patients can get reliable indoor services in emergencies.Thesedays
,patients are getting scared of allopathic hospitals,which are becoming
centres of cheating patients.Your wish for a system of'Integrative
Medicine'with homeopathy in a central place is noble,lofty and timely.But
Homeopaths will have to work ceaselessly,tirelessly and selflessly
for this objective.The interview of Dr. Navin Pavaskar is inspiring
and his Institute ICR is a step in the right direction.His struggle
and success against all odds is a great tribute to sincere efforts
and greatness of Homeopathy.

Article on nosebleeds
hpathy,Ezine oct 2006 by dr. Rajneesh Kumar Sharma has many many
remedies listed for Epistaxis(nosebleeds) but the one i have used
more often is not on his list................ferrum phos................works
all the time.
There is another method TCM Traditional Chinese medicine. Take
a snippet of human hair,burn it (calcify to carbon ash) add a droplet
of water to it and place this mixture directly on top the the bleeding
nose (not in side the nose) The blood stop's instantly!!!!!!!!!!!!
try it and see for your self. I have done this many many times in
the past 10yrs or so. Handy hint if you dont happen to have your
remedy emergency box with you.
Thank you for the great efforts in the production of this forum
and monthly magazine.
