Firstly I would like to say how much I always enjoy your ezine.
There is always something in it that touches me in some way. I am
not a qualified homoeopath, merely someone with a deep interest,
and pretty extensive personal use. I have done some courses, and
a fair amount of studying for myself but the opportunity to study
it to the level I would like has not arrived yet.
However, despite my lack of knowledge and experience, I found
much that resonated with me in the editorial. I have visited homoeopaths
(with all the appropriate qualifications) and found their knowledge
frighteningly lacking. I have sat and listened to a homoeopath tell
me about certain remedies and have known that they had got their
remedies mixed up; tentative suggestions by me that they might like
to recheck have been ignored - what does the patient know? Then
I have gone away and verified my own belief. I have met homoeopaths
who take shortcuts because of overconfidence, then seen them make
very bad prescriptions using knowledge they think they have but
which is actually inaccurate or incomplete. Naturally this has led
me to changing homoeopaths. I have then been in the situation of
listening to one homoeopath making scathing remarks about others.
Incidently it's often the ones who are least successful who make
the most criticism of others. I have witnessed the rivalry between
opposing schools. I have also noticed that many homoeopaths, when
faced with a serious health problem, often start to think rather
conventionally, in terms of what the disease is called etc. Whilst
I realise that homoeopaths have to be careful, and may need to suggest
to a patient that they should see their doctor as a safeguard, I
find it very strange when a homoeopath starts trying to give you
a conventional diagnosis. Firstly, this is something they are not
qualified to do, and secondly it is pretty irrelevant in terms of
homoeopathic cure. I have listened to homoepaths telling me about
other cases they have, and heard the criticism of their patients
in the telling. They seem unable to see their patients behaviour
as symtoms but label them as bad patients or bad people and then
it seems to be the patient's fault they do not get well.
Lest this sound like a terrible rant about homoeopathy , I must
add that I have also met some wonderful homoeopaths. I believe that
a true homoeopath must have it in their heart, not just in their
mind. I believe they must be open and honest and compassionate,
and above all healthy in mind, heart and spirit. I believe they
must really trust in homoeopathy, but not be blind to its dangers.
I am using homoepathy rather intensively at present, and am slowly
recovering from a very long serious illness. I have experienced
first hand the best and worst of homoeopathy. On my journey I have
learned much about myself and I feel I would like to take my knowledge
of homoeopathy much further in the future. However, I am not ready
to do so until I feel I am healthy enough on all levels. So yes,
I do believe that the problem is simply that homoeopaths are people,
and people have flaws - issues that need resolving, lack of health
on various levels. I also think, it's because when you are on a
journey towards health, there is a tendancy to look back at where
you were earlier and feel that you won't go there again, so that
when you see people with problems similar to the ones you used to
have there is a tendancy to feel a bit superior to them in a way,
a sort of 'thank goodness I'm not like that anymore' - without the
realisation that you haven't moved far enough away from the problem
yet to be more objective about it, and more compassionate to someone
who hasn't moved on from that point yet. I think a lot of people
are drawn into homoeopathy because it has made life better for them
in some way, but often lose sight of the fact that their personal
journey is not yet complete (is it ever?). It's a bit like the fervour
of an ex-smoker, who is suddenly totally intolerant of other smokers,
but has forgotten how difficult it is to kick the habit and how
much support someone needs to do so. To make matters worse, they
may then extrapolate their feelings so that they are intolerant
of anyone with a bad habit (that's most of us then!)
In short, we are all on a journey, and will never be perfect,
but we need to remember that fact, whether in our attitude to homoeopathy,
or simply in the way we treat people in everyday life. I commend
your editorial for bringing this out into the open. Let us all look
to our own weaknesses before we find fault in others, to assign
blame in neither case, and to have the strength to hold honesty
and compassion as equal partners. This, I believe is one small but
important part of being a true healer.
Health and happiness to you all.

This month's newsletter like other months is full of valuable knowledge.
I highly appreciate for your hard work for promoting homoeopathy
around the globe and benefiting the readers and homoeopaths. Your
website is different from others and has abundance of knowledge
and articles on the different subjects and you deserve my appreciation
for your excellent services to homoeopathy.
With best regards.

Thanks for the invitation to give feedback on the Hpathy ezine!
I was especially glad to see Rudi Verspoor's article, "Homeopathy,
Understanding the Terminology." I decided to study with his
school, the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst, because I thought it
the most advanced and rational approach to Hahnemann's medical system.
It's wonderful to see Rudi Verspoor's cogent words published in
your ezine, and I hope to see more articles on Heilkunst in the
future.
Thanks,

I read your interview with George V. He was an important influence
in my becoming a homeopath. Now I think he exaggerates a point and
then makes it all inclusive (eg., give a person colocynthis because
they look like a cucumber) in an attempt to discredit approaches
which he feels are contrary to the greater cause. But I enjoyed
reading his opinions nonetheless.
Best regards,

Dear Dr. Bhatia
Needless to say it is one of the greatest sources of information
about Homeopathic. Everytime I read it I enjoy it very much.
I am just curious, how come we can not buy Homeopathic medicines
on your site. I see Homeopathic medicines bags, books and such,
but no information on actual medicines. Aren't the medicines not
available there. And if the
medicines are available, can these be shipped to USA?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I liked your article in homeopathy4you on this old question of
what is homeopathy. So many people quarrel for nothing. It is good
to know, but only humility makes knowledge sweet. Arrogance spoils
it.
Relative truth is not absolute, and yet it is true. Poor senses,
they can't catch consciousness, the great subject or the self; they
can't even catch the mental images illumined by it. They cannot
bring knowledge by themselves. They depend on mind and consciousness
to function. They are on the far outside of the knowing process,
and the mind is on the near inside. Consciousness is on the inside
and outside, and beyond both also. Mind in its function as intellect
makes the distinctions. The senses bring the input.

and not birch”"

-------------------------------------
While enjoying Luc De Schepper's explanations on Organon 4 vs.
5-6, which I think are worthwhile, I do not accept the negative
tone (I refer to 'smelling salts', 'backdoor') when it concerns
George Vithoulkas (in this instance), because it violates the cooperative
spirit of this discussion. It seems a bit contradictory to the intention
of this discussion to keep it open-minded, to avoid derogatory remarks,
etc. Please stick to editing out unnice remarks, I will be grateful
for your moderatorship on this, profesionality is a healthy thing.

Sir - As a student and practitioner of homeopathy, it grieves
me to read (in the same newsletter) of "in-house" bickering
amongst world renowned homeopaths. Surely there could & should
be more professionalism & respect amongst the community! I value
Dr. Luc's teachings, but was saddened to see his mud slinging at
Dr. Geo.! What a shame! - Marsha McCormick (Victoria,
B.C., Canada)
-------------------------------------
Thank-you for this article.
It clears up qustions about what Hahnemann was actually saying to
us and emphasises the value of accurate terminology. One will view
disease and cure very differently with this understanding of the
basic terminology.
I am glad to see that Mr Verspoor has joined your contributors.

Dear Sir,
The Homoeopathy 4 Everyone edition of April, 2007 is really informative.
It will be more useful by adding more clinical cases in ppt. Clinical
cases are always more interesting and helpful in understanding how
to prescribe the remedy for various conditions Otherwise the full
edition is very informative and useful for the readers.

Dear Dr, Leela,
I am still trying to decide whether to confront this priest or not.
His arguments are so puerile and lacking in substance that I am
almost convinced that I should not dignify them by even reacting.
His condemnation of Homeopathy is based purely on hearsay and he
betrays his lack of knowledge in every sentance he writes.
I have just sent you another email asking you how I can get hold
of all 3 of your articles...if I ever do confront him I know that
they will be of great help to me.
Thank you for all your help. I studied under George Vithoulkas for
4 years and I know that he has dedicated his life trying to get
homeopathy away from anything that will discredit it..like being
associated to New age...and homeopaths practising in ways other
than those as handed down to us by Hahnemann in the Organon.
Once again many thanks and I will be keeping in touch,
best wishes,
Maureen

I have already sent my comments a few days ago to your Editor.
Your website is one of the best in the world providing most valuable
articles and information and further your website is different and

Dr Vithoulcas and Dr. Luc and of others and I appreciate them all.
Please keep it up.

that am little bit busy.i read the interview with vithoulkas it
found very interesting and i even read the article where he expose
a case of the child who suffered fever and other complications and
how he finally found the adequate remedy .This DOCTOR IS REALLY
SOMEONE VERY qualified.but i don't know how i can help to discuss
issues.thank you for your interest to develop and spride homeophathy
because here in my country it's not well known .Cause evenif we
had homeopath doctors but they are not really qualified to represent
homeopathy as a science.so people are not trusting homeopathy on
the contrary they are considering it as fake medicine.best regards.

Hello Dr. Bhatia,
first of all I must say that I am not a practioner in the sense
that I do not have a licence to practice in California, where I
live. I am, however, very fond of the homeopathic system of medicines,
and I am a faithful user and often treat my family as far as I can.
Of course I am not at the level of knowlege of many of the subscribers
of you e-zine, but I find the e-zine a wonderful source of learning.
I own many books from which I draw information, such as the Organon,
Homeopathic Materia Medica, Homeopathic Phylosophy by Kent, and
many other texts, wich I consult every chance I have. My dream has
been to become a Doctor of Homeopthy, however that dream is still
a dream and it seems like it will stay as such in this lifetime.
I know that it is never too late, but the financial means to attend
an accredited school are still not available to me, and at age 60
it is not getting any easier. Please continue sending the e-zine
if it is not too much a burden. Thank you and thanks to all the
great people contributing to your successfull e-zine.
Sincerely

Great to see this edition and to see that 'Homeopathy 4 Everyone'
is actually reaching out to homoeopath belonging to different areas
and with different concept. i am sure soon we will reach to common
ground, a 'theory of everything' which will include all the different
concept in it, where all the concept arise from those basic, universal
laws and principles.
We are sure explanations of the experience of Luc De Schepper,
Jan Scholten, Rudi Verspoor, John Harvey, Gina Tyler, Edward Kondrot,
Edward De Beukelaer, Peter Chappell, Ulrich Welte, Paul Herscu,
Grant Bentley will help everyone to move towards their own experience
and will help to walk their own talk.
Keep doing the great work of understanding and spreading the depth
of homoeopathy, human being and matter.
With regards

Your editorial 'Initiating A Dialogue' is a bold editorial indeed,
as you said very little harmony between our teaching faculty and
practitioners. Even it is seen with in teaching faculty . Your Editorial
should be an eye opener to many of us as majority of students opting
out for other courses making BHMS as basic course either to go abroad
or for courses like medical transcription. Majority of national
Conference have become annual ceremonies whish are not helping the
young generation.
I wish you all success ,

Views of George( or even any other homeopath had those views) are
logical and stands to reasoning. So many people are writing books
on homeopathy and propagating new methods and there are many magazine
and publishing houses or self publications of homeopathy doing more
harm to homeopathy than good. Kindly invite views on Dr. Rajan Sankaran's;Disease
is Delusion, Dr. ML Sehgal's New Method

Dear Dr. Bhatia,
You are doing a wonderful job through Hpathy, but how i wish this
could happen in hard copy to..ie not just
this soft copy through internet but a regular journal which we could
read at our leisure where ever we want
n whenever...as access to computer 24x7 is still not possible for
many...i feel many more could utilize the
good work you are doing if that option too was available.
Thanks,

Dear All,
I have been enjoying your Journal so much! I am not a practicing
homeopath - in our country only medical doctors can practice homeopathy.
I am a bioengineer, I do use homeopathy in the family, but not as
a profession.
I would like to ask your help in the following problem: I have a
friend, who's father has lung cancer. He is undergoing conventional
treatments, but my friend would like to help with homeopathy as
well. The father would accept homeopathic treatment only if the
medical doctor treating him would approve for it. They are lucky:
the medical doctor is open for new possibilities, even to consult
with an expert in homeopathy, but she said she would need documented
evidences, publications etc what this alternative medicine can do
in case various forms of cancer in order to consider consultation.
Could you please send some links or publications so we could pave
the road much better ? I would need official publications or survays
to help my friend.
Thank you in advance,
Sincerely yours, Katalin Ganzler

The King of Homeopathy
Dr. Vithoulkas is rightly called by the tittle. One of the living
legends of the science and Art is so courageous and open in this
article. More such articles released in open Journals like this
would help his cause to elevate Homeopthy.
am immensly greatful for these two great interviews of Dr. Bhatia,of
George Vithopulkas and Elaine Lewis of Dr. Luc de Schepper.
You do deserve the feedback that I spared from your excellent site
until now. Thank you for your "treat" it worked/ I do
enjoy David Little and follow most of his posology system. I highly
appreciate Dr. Luc de Schepper strong criticism of repetition of
the dry dose, and other criticism in the Sulph case (wrongly given
Lac eq.) and this method of arbitrarily chosing remedies according
to "systmes" instead of subtle or at times obvious totalities.
I applaud these interviews and hope to read the rest of your Journal
and send feedback.
Your work is indeed excellent and so valuable for homeopathy.
Carry on the good works!

Dear Editor,
I have just read the interview with Mr Vithoulkas.
I am not a homeopath but I use homeopathy where ever possible in
my life and for my pets.
I have often wondered how homeopathic vaccination could possibly
work. If one follows the theory of like curing like then how could
homeoprophelactics work? I was forced to reconsider this several
years ago when my dog had an extreme reaction to annual vaccination
as required in my country by boarding kennels. Sometimes I have
to go to places I cannot take my dog and must board her so I was
faced with the problem of finding a kennel owner who would accept
my dog without the required annual vaccination certificate.
I did find a very caring and reputable kennel owner some distance
from my home town who was very interested in homeopathy and was
prepared to accept my dog if I treated her with a homeopathic vaccination
for distemper, parvo,kennel cough and hard pad. I obtained a 'stew'
of remedies said to prevent these diseases if I dosed her on a regular
basis from a reputable homeopathic company.
I had my doubts about doing this but as it is the only option open
to me in order to reassure the kennel owner that my dog is safe
from passing on or getting any of these diseases while in his care.
I would like to know if I should continue to give this stew of various
remedies or if it would perhaps be better to give placebo (water?)
in a spray bottle so that the kennel owner feels that we are both
doing the right thing. That in itself would be deceitful.
Am I jeopardising my pet by giving her remedies she does not need
since she is perfectly healthy. I certainly would not take a remedy
myself unless I was certain that that remedy matched the symptoms
I was showing. Is someone able to answer my questions?
Thank you for this article and for Homeopathy4Everyone.
Further I thought the letter written by Maurice Heigh was brilliant
and would be very interested in more of what he has to say.
Sincerely,
Hazel Lucy

Dear Sir,
As usual I enjoyed the Ezine a lot. As I am studying online with
David Little, specially the audio and powerpoint files are a so

Dear Team at Homeopathy for everyone,
To follow Peter Chappell's article and in tune with the theme of
the April issue (for whatever issue that you decide) on "provings"
here is an article on Provings of P.C remedies for your e-magazine.
I must admit that you scared me by writing " I will make sure
you don't get the future exciting issues of this wonderful journal"
:)!
Wonderful indeed...so this little contribution!

I've been a subscriber for the past few months, and find this branch
of patient care fascinating. Modern American medicine is no longer
a healing art, but nothing more than another profit center for a
specific, select group of individuals.
I have high blood pressure, and feel that while my doctor is a
well meaning, dedicated individual--what he has done is basically
treat the symptoms rather than the causes. As a result, I take a
lot of drugs, mostly feeling like a hoped up junky most of the time,
with no energy or capacity for living life as fully as I used to.
I don't want to be a pill popper for the rest of my life, I've
been searching for another approach since early 2004 when I got
out of the hospital after a stroke caused by the blood pressure.
Is there a way that I can search the articles of your publication
so that I can see what homeopathy has to offer? Alternatively, can
you suggest any reading materials on the topic of homeopathy and
blood pressure?
I sincerely appreciate your help in this matter.

Why do you miss Dr. M. L. Dhawle, Dr. M. L. Sehgal, Dr. B. N. Chakraborty

Dr.Vithoulkas, who kept Homoeopathy alive in USA & Europe.

First of all i must thanks you, for such effort you are doing for
improvment of homoeopathy and secondly for the great interview with
Dr. George Vithoulkas. What Dr. Vithoulkas has mentioned in his
interview is absolutly right. It is right that every science need
improvment and for the improvment it must have some new idea. but
these new idea's should not violate the basic pricipal of science.
new idea like putting the name of remedy under the glass of water,
finding the remedy with pendulum are totally disaggreable, after
all homoeopathy is science not voodoo. doing this will not improve
the quality of homoeopathy but will only vanish this great science.
people using these type of thing are one who want short cut. they
don't want to do hard work, because any science need hard work and
dedication. these kind of people are double jeopardy for the homoeopathy.
as they not only don't contribute in the devlopment of science but
also creating chance for critic's to defame homoeopathy.
On the other hand we should encourage healthy ideas like Dr. Prafful
Vijayker's theory of suppression and his chart on the basis of gernimal
layers responcible for the devlopment of diffrent organ's. He has
done a very nice work with his dedication to homoeopathy. growing
of such idea will definitely laed homoeopathy as a science of coming
era.

I found your site while searching for information on MRSA- I am
the manager of a home for pregnant and parenting mothers and one
of the children moving in has MRSA, so I want to protect the other
children by getting knowledge and your site is fabulous. I signed
up to study homeopathy, but was a little confused and want to know
if I did it right, and am signed up as a student. Homeopathy excites
me and I really want to help these mothers and children and my own
family and friends. THANK YOU!

I agree with George that we should be united around an idea which
is solid and workable - Hahnemann's teachings. We should be accomodative.
But there is a limit. We should have a standard that will decide
what to be discussed. The bottom line is the Hahnemann's teachings,
as George puts it. We must be good in compromising, but never on
Principles. Then only Homoeopathy will grow

I read this article,i believed microbes are not responsible for

for all disease but after this article i think i can understand
much better what is the role of vital force and role of microbes.

The interview of Dr.George Vithoulkas was absorbing and evoked
the following thoughts:While attacks on homeopathy should concern
us,we need not ger unduly perturbed.Allopathy is fast approaching
a dead end.Its main tools like anti-biotics,anti-inflammatory drugs
and even surgery are showing very disagreeable and sometimes fatal
results.On the hand,homeopathy is growing fast and getting popular
among the common masses for being safe,rapid and cheap,causing no
life-threatening complications.Ofcourse we need an internal debate
to discourage quacks and neo-experimentalists.For this purpose,
we should have a powerful forum to defend homeopathy from external
as well as internal threats.Dr. Vithoulkas objection to homeophylactic
remedy against epidemics is quite valid.His light on placebo-effect
is very informative.Thanks for introducing us to such an eminent
scholar and physician.
read ur article in hpathy journal. very informative.

Dear Editor,
During the last few months I have been ignoring your constant alerts
on hpathy -enzyne. But when I found Dr Luc being presented in April
issue, the conviction with which he spoke on the strength of Organon
and need for
basing every progress on Organon, (No Organon- No Homeopathy) I
was forced to search your archives and find more jewels. Now I know
if I ignore your reminders and alert, it is me who stands to lose.
Hope you will bring more
such fundamentally strong homeopaths to focus and fear not to expose
un homeopathic aspects of homeopathy.
Will you be able to bring Helmut Sydow - who authored "Learning
Classical Homeopathy" - Repertorising and Practical Applications.
in your later isuues?

myself but was not aware of the depth of things that you are doing
so marvelously
at Hpathy.I confess that i always saw your advertisement in HERITAGE
homeopathic journal published by B.JAIN publishers of New Delhi.but
never venturedout to explore,till my son encouraged me.I have been
a member of Heritage for past decade and more.I oft and on write
for their column "You tell Us"
Now i will make effort to write for Hpathy also;
I live and practice in Karachi Pakistan but come to visit my children
in States,where i am with them presently in Florida.
Let me congratulate you and your team for popularizing Homeopathy,a
great healing science which needs support from all homeopathic fraternity
to help it to get its rightful place in medical science.
Wishing you all the best and kind regards
yours sincerely

On reading the various interviews, I could not but think that you
do a wonderful job for classical homeopathy.
This indeed is a unique site which encompasses many facets of pure
homeopathy. It is essential that homeopaths all over share this
very advantage of learning from different thinkers in classical
homeopathy. The skope is very vast.
I am very gratefulto You.

Dear Dr. Manish Bhatia & Team Hpathy.com
I am a avid reader of your great magazine. I always find it interesting,
informative and educative.
As far as sending cases etc. let me tell you something about myself.
I am not a “Doctor”, I do not have formal education
in homoeopathy, I am “Engineer” by profession but some
3 years back I have completed one years course which was aimed Introduction
to homoeopathy and making lay man aware of homoeopathy. After completing
this course I bought most of the text books for BHMS and started
to study in depth on my own. Now I am in a position to understand
a very small something about homoeopathy. Form the lay mans point
of view let me tell you that it WORKS and it was joy to me when
my first patient (my daughter) was cured of a cough like magic.
Now I prescribe for my family and my friends, of course considering
my great limitations I decide whether I can handle it or I ask to
go to qualified doctor.
Your dialogue “Exploring the boundaries” is going to
be quiet interesting and definitely a lot educative to me and I
am eagerly waiting for the things to come up.Thanking you and with
best wishes to you and team hapthy.com
Yours truly,
Satish sohoni

I read the section about cough and about pneumonia. The wording
was difficult to understand. Is this website just for Homeopathic
practitioners? The wording sounds like it comes from a researchers
notebook. This does not appear to be for the non-medical reader
looking for easy to understand homeopathic remedies.

Bach Flower Rescure Remedy
This article tells a person what flowers to apply, but does not
tell how to apply. Do you rub the flower on the forehead, on the
injury, or do you eat the flower. Not enough how to information
is given for the non-medical reader of this information.

The h.pathy journal has always been a reminder of getting back
to books and also an inspiration to keep working towards the goal
and on principles.
The interview of george vithalkaus was enlightening and was a very
well taken interview where questions were very neatly asked without
being predujiced by the aura of the so well known homoeopath..
Congratulations for the successful april issue and good wishes
for the next ones to come.

comment on Dr Luc interview
Great discussion!
It's refreshing to see the Organon and CD being discussed in such
an intelligent way -- void of ego and faddishness.
Thank you Elaine for your graciousness, Dr Luc for your expertise
and integrity.
It is always a great pleasure to read your Newsletters containing
the most valuable information, experience and knowledge of various
reputed and reknowned homoeopaths and it greatly helps in enhancing
knowledge in the field of homoeopathy and I keep your articles as
a treasure for my future readings and references too. You are doing
a great job and I pray to God for your great success.
With best wishes and regards.
Homoeopathically yours.

Dear Meghna,
Pleasure to know that the Sankaran Method has stirred some interest
in your being - you will find cases and all the information of how
to avail more cases on my web site - www.homeohome.com
pls feel free to share your comments
for more cases, you can read books by Dr.Rajan Sankaran-
for instance, the latest book by him-- crafted by me-- [An Insight
Into Plants Volume III] features more then 80 cases worked on the
system of Vital Sensation for plant families and Fungi kingdom.

Hello Editor
I would like to point to the following issue.
A large part of the homeopathic community seem to accept the current
extreme low standards we use to judge the 'success' of presented
cases.
I hear of many cured cases, mentioned by many different authors,
when from personal experience I have encountered some of these patients
later on, who tell me privately, that they were eventually not cured.
Or they had relapsed and then the remedy did not help anymore. However
these cases are still being presented as success cases.
Everybody must have had such cases in their own practice. An initial
remedy seems to help, but the case does not improve after the first
follow up or relapses completely again. Repetition of the same remedy
(even 5th, 6th edition or Organon) does not give any improvement
at all. And then you find an other remedy that actually is the correct
simillimum and this improves the case really a lot further.
I would like to ask you to find out / to propose a set of criteria
to evaluate a case by.
for acute cases and for chronic cases.
e.g. a Chronic case, should have a minimum of 2 years follow ups,
well documented and/or available on video.
I have seen for example a severe MS case of more then 15 years progression,..
being shown during a seminar with only a video follow up shown of
not more then a few months.
With no improvement at all on the physical level, but the homeopath
stated the emotional state was better,... 'and we now will expect
the MS to improve also'. Well expect (hope) yes,.. but where is
the proof?
Such cases I never see again on a later date of the same speaker.
I have seen 'live cases' being shown on stage during a seminar,
and then in the next seminar 6 month of 1 year later, these patients
where being hidden from the seminar audience, and did not come on
stage. Privately the patient told me that no success at all was
there, but she was left in the cold, and no support was given.
I have read of cases in journals or books which where so called
cured,.. but I see this patient by change a year later in the practise
of an other homeopath, and I am being told that there was no improvements
at all, and the patient went to this other homeopath.
With all this it is very difficult to have patients of homeopaths
willing to openly state such things.
I have had two case myself of a women trying to conceive for several
years in vein, and just one conversation of 40 - 60 minutes, and
I received the good news later on she got pregnant.
One case I had just proposed a remedy, but she had not yet started
to take it. For sure ANY remedy I had given would have given the
impression that it cured this patient !!
The other case I am not sure even if my remedy really did the job,
or had it been the 'realisation' what had been gong on in her life
from her youth onwards?
I have seen total ESSENCES of remedies (be it from an older know
remedies or new ones) being presented, and when I asked all was
bases on just one successful case.
I can go on with a long list of such unreliable things creeping
into our homeopathic community.
I want to ask you, lets first start to introduce a set of strict
guidelines to judge what we 'hear' or what we 'present'.
I have seen seminars, where people need to hold 'a globule' and
then tell what they have felt after a few minutes. I have seen here
students starting to shake, weep hysterically, say they feel heat
flowing through their body etc.
Well years ago I studied Hypnoses and experimented a lot with it
to see its possibilities and limits, and I assure you I have no
problem to bring such reactions forward without any globule.
For sure in a room with 50 people there are statistically always
2 people who fall in the category of 'extreme' sensitive to hypnotism
(suggestions), and I will have them in 'deep hypnotism' within 10
seconds (without anybody seeing they are hypnotised, they just appear
fully awake). I then say 'you will now feel a nausea coming and
you will start to vomit',.. and they will not be able to stop the
urge to vomit !!
Also, please be aware that if you do 3 hours or 6 hours intensive
consultation, going deep and deep into the psyche, and when they
get a release of emotions, they surely will feel better, whatever
remedy you give.
Freud already stated this: whenever he was able to bring up the
original traumatic feelings and do 'catharsis' , all symptoms the
patient had would improve immediately.
So my questions, lets discuss 'criteria' we need to introduce, to
bring again a little bit of scientific approach into our homeopathy
Kind regards

Dear Editor
I enjoyed reading the April e zine. I feel that the main problem
of some of the homeopaths not delivering is due to their hasty approach
to dispense medicines based on therapeutic index
based on disease names instead of observing the symptoms of the
patient contrary to the basic principles of homeo treatment. Homeopaths
should be thorough with organon & materia medica & remember
the symptoms , keynotes & characteristics with comparisons of
leading frequently used remedies. Books by great authors like Drs
Allen , Nash etal are still relevent. Random prescriptions by some
of the homeopaths of medicines of 10M dosage for even ordinary acute
ailments have become very common now. I feel this is a dangerous
trend & I would like comments by u & other homeopaths..

Dear sir,
Your article on asthma is extremely good. But at most of the places,
I am not able to understand clearly because very complicated english
is used.
It will be very useful to a normal person like me to understand
simple english.
Thank you very much for your informative article.

Gail Alan
----------------------------------------
On the study of materia medica
The writer has taken up a very important aspect of the study of
homeopathy,that is often neglected. How Materia Medica should be
studied needs to researched more intensively to come up with a more
workable and easy-to-grasp method of approach,as it is the back-bone
of successful homeopathic prescription.
HARISH NAGPAL

I endorce Dr.Scholten fully that 'Homeopathy is in delevopment.'
Nodoubt,being dogmatic would harm it,but at the same time,being
over-progressive may create chaos and make it unreliable.We need
to follow the golden middle path.

It is a great shame with over 3000 homeopaths in Uk that there
are only 318 people polling in total from around the world. Is there
a reason for this??
Jamie Taylor
----------------------------------------
Thank you for the well constructed summary of the last poll.
As is clear there are many shades and a straight yes/no answer does
not give the true result.
All the best in your work

The April, 07 issue is an excellent reading. It is informative
as also confusing for a man like me who has a limited knowledge
and experience. The article on Radiaesdthesia is very interesting.
I wonder if we could have more articles on the subject. Here, please,
allow me to say that I did not appreciate the rebuke given to allopathic
practitioners. I would recommend that as a matter of policy bad
remarks about other systems of treatment be not published in Hpathy.
In some other articles, Hahnemann's aphorisms are discussed. I do
not like the word 'aphorism' per se. It does not leave any room
for discussion. By no means I am trying to decry the greatness of
that genius, the benefactor of humanity. But religious devotion
to something which is empirical in nature and scientific to an extent
is out of place. Some writers do talk of the scientific basis of
homeopathy and in the same breath treat Hahnemann's aphorisms as
rtevealed scriptures, thereby negating the need for further research
and experimentation.
A writer from UK talked about developing disease-specific remedies.
That would be excellnt. The homeopaths gloat over the assertion
that the remedies are patient-specific and bot disease-specific.
In my opinion this is the bane of the system and one of the resons
for its universal suppression.
In an article it is mentioned that salicylic acid is useful both
in crude form and in potencies. Quite a few substances fall in this
category. Should we not try allopathic remedies in potency. Many
people take oral medicines for controlling sugar in diabetics. The
medicines are harmful for the kidneys and the liver. If a diabetes
medicine works in potency also, it might not harm the vital organs
as the crude medicine. I feel that this is something worth experimenting.
I am a diabetic and know that homeo remedies for diabetes are chancy
Thanks for Hpathy.
Sincerely,
Majid Raza

First of all, I must say I'm glad that the discussion of what is
'true homeopathy', started on a website that has readers worldwide.
It is really a relief to read the articles of Luc De Schepper and
George Vitoulkas; these are homeopaths in the most beautiful sense
of the word. They use and teach homeopathy in a way Hahnemann would
have done. And this
is the only way we can and may tolerate!
As John Harvey says: "There must be a line, a definition of
homoeopathy, beyond which lies a world of other practices, none
of which are homoeopathy." In fact, these lines exist! Hahnemann
wrote them! But indeed, they need to be respected. 'Homeopaths'
that go beyond those lines should not be called homeopaths; not
only because they don't practise in a correct way but also, and
this may even be more important, they damage the name of homeopathy!
Reading the other articles, e.g. of Peter Chappell... I really
hope that the medecines he creates can help lots of people around
the world. It would be fantastic if his remedies could cure milions
of AIDS victims and it would be even more fantastic if he would
be able to create other remedies for all those chronic illnesses
in the world, but PLEASE, DON'T CALL IT HOMEOPATHY! It is not because
your system fits one aphorism of the Organon that you call it homeopathy!
The same can be said about Jan Scholten; his theory might be true.
I'm convinced he studied a lot on it before he wrote his books but
why doesn't he follow the rules Hahnemann gave us? If he has theories
about certain
elements and if he can find labs that are able to create them, why
then doesn't he start doing provings? He should know that this is
essential in homeopathy. How else can you apply the similia-rule
if you even don't know
what the remedy did with healthy people? He says it depends on 'how
you define homeopathy'...??? You don't have to
define it! Hahnemann did! If you like to be called a homeopath,
act as a homeopath!
Last but not least, about provings... Please, stop all the 'bullsh*t'
(sorry for the language) doing meditative provings, dream provings
and whatever... Hahnemann was clear about it: healthy people take
the remedy and see what happen... If we start making a mess of our
provings, we won't have any reliable foundation for using new remedies!
As said: it is time that boundaries are set if we want homeopathy
to survive. If a patient chooses to be treated homeopathically there
should be a guarantee that his therapy IS homeopathy; the one and
only Hahnemannian
homeopathy. Only in this way homeopathy will survive!

Dear Editor
I could not help congratulating you the way you are serving this
Great system of curing the sick people, its really appreciable the
service you and your staff providing to all the homeopaths all around
the world and also putting wise the layman who knows nothing about
this system. The basic reason to write you is to let you know that
i am too small to contribute or share my experience as I am the
most frsh graduate in DHMS, and yet in the process of learning and
experience it out. Any way I am getting a lot of rich information
about the homeopathy from you journal and its so amazing that i
could hardly wait the whole month for the next edition.
More over I am too much convinced and impressed having read the
CYCLOPEDIA OF HOMEOPATHY written by Dr Kashi Raam. I would request
if you could write a little about his personel life in any of your
edition and if there is any other book or material published by
him on the matter.I would be mush abliged if you let me know the
name and availability of any such book and also the price that would
cost me in pakistan , since i am from pakistan.
Thanking you in anticipation,
yours truly

I,first of all,would like to thank you for this wonderful 'ezine'.
I have enjoyed reading the articles since long but lately it has
become even more interesting with the introduction of power point
presentations which makes them more eye catching.
In april issue,I found Luc De Schepper's interview with Eliane Lewis,most
enlightening,(considering that I am a young homoeopath).Article
by Jan Scholten was quite thought provoking.
Its a pleasure to recieve Homoeopathy for everyone each month.
wish you all the best.
Regards.

all the articals are really informative and give us the thurst
to be more towards real homoeopathy/
bharat bhushan
----------------------------------------
I had gone through all the articles of this current issue.When
going through the article by Alan schmuklar dialogue -not debate
, how he intellengently differenciated -the dialouge from debate.If
one is healer he must has a healing dialouge.
Geourge Vithulkas view regarding Lancet articles: As they belong
to hard core conventional medicine,they are protecting themselves
and their premises.
Regarding "The article in times" It is a weak in its argument
& ie written by some body who does not know the real value of
homoeopathy - Or what real homoeopathy can do?
Regarding Issac golden homoeoprofilaxis ,how G vithulkas explains
the proving of medicines in respect to the proving of homoeoprofilaxis
of Issac golden.
More over G Vithukas clearly explains tat the "Modern proving
are nothing else but the mass hysterical mania of the participants".
We homoeopaths must stand unitedly around the idea which is solid
& workable & according to our master Hahnemann teaching.
We must refrain ourselves from the idea which is mearly a craziness,nonsensible.We
must not support that at all.
The methods which do not fall in the realm of strict homoeopathy
- be it sleeping over the remedy name,or putting a glass of water
on a remedy name and then drinking the water or using the pendulam
to find the remedy are mere crazines or mass mania. I do not believe
in these. and do not support these ideas.
Regarding aphorism -4 your explanation is praiseworthy .Your efforts
to uplift the homoeopathy will become unforgettable memories.
I wish you a success in life and wish you continue these untirely
efforts. Thanks. I will tri to write regarding these in future.

I have read new case taking approach with the help of FACIAL ANALYSIS
by Grant Bentley.It is very interesting procedure.He has adviced
to read HFA book for facial parameters.So in this context can
you help me,where from I will get HFA books for facial parameters
to know it in details.Your kind help is highly solicited.
THANKING YOU
DR TAPAS KAR

The understanding of aphorism four is very nice, especially the
difference between the things that derrange health and things which
cause the disease. The author has explained it beautifully. I feel
that all this should reach to the colleges (B.H.M.S.) cource syllabus
where every student should learn this.
Dr. Sarika
----------------------------------------
iTS UNBELIEVABLE that in higher potencies symtoms coudn`t be observed
in an study trail and effect was like the placebo.Because Iam a
ordinary Homoeopath and respect what our Pioneers say so,i check
out all remedies even Polycrests or rare drugs upon myself or sometimes
on my own people record its symtoms and then try it.Iregularly use
10m`s and 50m`snd have recorded almost 40-50% of textbook said symtoms
and i have two hypersensitives at home who refuse to react to placebos
only indicated remedies act otherwise they prove it.
