Exellent! Thank you so much for this edition of Homepathy 4 Everyone. As a student in veterinary homeopathy, and a long-time home practitioner with my own animals (dogs, cats, cattle, horses), I have often noted many of the problems involved in using the symptoms from the usual repertories, translating how they apply to animals; and I've looked forward to every article on veterinary homeopathy that you've published. This issue is greatly appreciated, and greatly enjoyed. Joy Metcalf ---------------------------------------- Thank you for the excellent picture of China in December issue
of Ezine. I can think of a couple of cases where I might have missed
the remedy. I had never thought of the analogy of how China bark
is produced and the the symptom picture of those needing it. ---------------------------------------- Having read Sherr's interview and the comments of many readers, the impression one gets is that a case may be tackled with a number of different remedies and yet be cured. To quote Sherr: If by work he means a series of partial responses, then that is
a common observation. I understand that most cases need several remedies over years to progress to a higher level of health. But those remedies must be very closely matched to the case at every step if they are to work beneficially. Patients respond to many remedies but how many of those responses are favourable in the long term? If I have a case of arthritis and I think that the patient needs Silicea but I begin with Carcinosin instead, (or with Arsenicum), and then follow up with anything but Silicea, can I 'zig zag' my way to a cure? As I understand, when Burnett mentioned chess as an analogy, he referred to cases where a paucity of symptoms or advanced organ pathology demanded a localized approach. This would lead to more broadly acting remedies later as the case yielded to 'local' remedies. I have seen Burnett's approach validated in specific cases and there are not a few of those. On the other hand, while there are instances where remedies that are close enough ameliorate some symptoms, do they really alter the energy of the patient? I know of many cases that were 'zig zagged' for years and came to me with drug symptoms mixed with those of their original complaints. Some may argue that the multiple approach is valid only for those who know what they are doing, but if they did, would they be dabbling around or would they go straight for the indicated remedy or remedies as the case may be? I agee that we do not live in a perfect world and that many cases
present with a picture where the remedy is very hard to discern.
In one of the responses to Sherr's interview, Yekkirala mentions
a conference where a woman with baldness was treated unsuccessfully
with various remedies for a year until it was realized that she
needed Chocolate. In acute infections, one can see a case of typhoid respond to Baptisia
in 5 days where Pyrogenicum would cure in 48 hours. Likewise, you may give Cantharis CM to a woman with UTI who needs
Staphysagria (or even Anthracinum). The acute episode will be relieved
but is her health really altered and her susceptibility to subsequent
infections reduced? What if her symptoms are relieved and she later returns with a
pyelonephritis or hydronephrosis? If we restrict our argument to chronic disease only, can a case
of eczema in an infant that repertorizes clearly to arsenic be cured
with graphites? No matter what remedies a case may be begun with, unless the drug
appropriate to that case is not ultimately given, will such patient
be amenable to cure? If this is not the case, should not we have much more success with
our difficult cases? Or discover years later that the cured case ended up in a hospital with terminal ilness. I may have misunderstood Sherr. He may have implied something else that I did not comprehend. But if I have understood him correctly, then I do not agree with him. There is also a tendency to interpret homeopathy through various
belief systems or spiritual perspectives. It may help some to reconcile their faith or beliefs with medical practice and I have no objecion to that. However, homeopathy would be best taught to students if its own principles were explained without the amalgamation of spiritual speculation. Rafeez ---------------------------------------- I was amazed to read about this mare,as I had thought the behaviour shown by my horse when I got him was largely due to his being a recent stallion,castrated at 8 years, & his loss of territory & being very dominant.I have had him 5 years & have recently tried phosphorus (1M) to try to reduce his over-reactiveness - he combines nervousness with a short fuse, when he is frustrated by changes in routine. I wonder if Mag. phos might be more apt. It was very interesting reading about the method of choice, which I haven't heard of. Does Sue Armstrong practise in North Yorks still? (I'm in Skipton) I could do with a cure for his fear of cows,it has made him dangerous on roads as there are cows everywhere. Jac ---------------------------------------- Hi Edward, Thanks for an interesting veterinary issue of homeopathy4everyone. I liked the vaiety of articles you presented which represented the scope of homeopathic observation and interpretation in animals. Congratulations to all the authors and veterinary pracitioners who contributed. Most of us are unaware of how widespread and developed homeoapthic thought presently is, in animals and this issue was an eye-opener. I hope it supports the establishment in the next decade, of a separate branch of homeopathic therapeutics - Veterinary Homeopathy. Best, Leela ---------------------------------------- Veterinary Homeopathy : very interessant communications. ---------------------------------------- Hi and thankyou for a fabulous and timely introducton to one of my homoeopathy subjects beginning this year in Feb. I'm a 4th year Hom. student at The Adelaide Training College of Complementary Medicine in South Australia and in my final year have enroled in a sub category - Animal Hom. This issue (my First) is a wonderful case of homoeopathic serrendipity. Looking forward to the next issue ---------------------------------------- The articles give positive information. Very interesting to read. Regards Hemalatha ---------------------------------------------- Great to get some articles and information on veterinary Homeopathy
- more please. ------------------------------------- I enjoyed the many articles on the use of Homoeopathy with animals. Especially the articles Does the Size of the Dose Really Matter? And In Your Face. As a fourth year student of homoeopathy I am often practicing on family and friends and quite often their animals. It is with animals that I am having better and quicker results and I wonder whether it is because unlike humans they do not let their beliefs get in the way of healing. I love it when some vets say they cannot cure the animal only to find after a couple of months of Homoeopathic treatment they are completely healed. It is so cool. Thanks for the wonderful articles on your website. With regards to “In your face,” it was not so much what I learnt from the article, more that it gave me more confidence in the way that I am already working with animals. The other article “Does the Size of the Dose Matter,” made be feel very encouraged in the level of schooling in Homoeopathy that I was receiving at the Australian College of Natural Medicine. Reading his fine article I discovered that my study of the Organon and other books had led me automatically to match the remedies to the energy of the patient, but now it gave other reasons why it was so. Regards Geof ------------------------------------- Your very special issue "Veterinary Homeopathy" with various articles in your Dec 07 Newsletter were really very educative since it has given me lot of information on Veterinary treatment by homoeopathy. Thanks for your great service to Homoeopathy. With kindest regards Sincerely yours ------------------------------------- wishing you ------------------------------------- I enjoyed the articles. However, I don't know if I'm convinced
with J. Sherr's philosophy that an individual's remedy changes so
frequently and everyone doesn't have a simillium. It's a bit too
different from what I've been taught. I can't see if a person's
remedy picture has been consistent since their birth how this remedy
picture could change so rapidly. ------------------------------------- Hello, ------------------------------------- I totally agree with Edward De Beukelaer about treating animals
the same as humans homeopathically. At one time, a number of years
ago, I had two dogs who I treated with Bach Flower remedies. Each
one had their own unique personality, and emotional make-up. And
each one responded with the correct remedy. Always remember... animals
are children with fur coats on! ------------------------------------- read the captions of the magazine.Attempt on animals besides human
beings is already in practise and i myself treat my cat, house cow
etc. on vomiting, alopecia,stomach ache,etc.However bring a senior
homeopath even having practised 7 nyears in Jaipur free in a jain
mandir in the evenings and holidays with the cooperation Dr jain
of jain homeopathy stores, and Dr kothari. I am now settled in Pune
and six months i come to South Carolina. I wouldlike to do charitable,
free treatment. ------------------------------------- As a vet I was pleased surprised and delighted to see a vet related edition. Most vet homoeopaths know each other and it was good to see esteemed colleagues being able to discuss homeopathy without having to be defensive. I have actually archived this edition for further perusal long term. Alan ------------------------------------- The December issue was great, lots of useful information about treating animals with homeopathy- keep up the good work Joan Goddard --------------------------------------------------- I wish there was more information like this that can be trusted. ------------------------------------- I have been using homeopathy om companion pets for several years
now, and in 90% of the cases, I have had wonderful results, especially
with fading kittens and lactating queens. ------------------------------------- am particularly thanks ------------------------------------- I was very pleased to see the effort made in this trial. My first
experience of Hom/Vet cure was sarcoids in a horse. Trad vet med
could not help. Constitutional treatment ( Calc Carb) caused disappearance
of all warts in 2 months and they did not return. Obviously not
a placebo effect. Press on ! --------------------------------------------------- I enjoyed reading the interview with Peter Gregory very much. Having recently done a book review (Homeopathy in Practice 2006) of Schotter's book where he wrote a chapter, it was so helpful to me to get to know this hom. vet's views in more depth. And of course he works at the Centre in East Oathly where we take our dog Frankie, who has had a cancer for 2 years (an aggressive form of lymphoma, was given 4 months to live), but is doing really well - cheeky and energetic, eats like a horse and is a real pleasure to have around - just like Peter says about cancer in this interview. Well done, thank you. Grace Dasilva-Hill ----------------------------------------------- Kind regards - Priscilla ------------------------------------ I find the subject of Veterinary Homeopathy fascinating and have
had the good fortune of being present at a talk by Sue Armstrong.
The results are amazing and to me prove that homeopathy does work
-animals don't enact their ------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Re vet homeopathy. Really good. I’ve used it on my dog throughout her life and when she was passing away. It was brilliant and any article on it is a bonus for everyone. Tks maz ---------------------------------------- Eileen Klinck --------------------------------------- Dear editor at hpathy ---------------------------------------- Good content. Good variety of interviewees and topics discussed. Keep up the good work. ------------------------------------------------- This article was fascinating, (and would no doubt help me with the treatment of my own animals), but as UK law is quite clear that only vets are allowed to treat animals with ANY kind of therapy, the article was of limited use. Since we have enough bad press as it is, it isn't a risk we can
take. ---------------------------------------- I enjoyed your December edition of Homeopathy 4 Everyone very much.
The Hot Seat interview with Peter Gregory was great- I am especially
interested in Veterinary Homeopathy because I have a lot of animals.
