Homeopathy Under Attack

• Legislation against funding• Studies disproving homeopathy works• Lack of Clinical Data – scientifically

acceptable data – for the time• Studies in favor of homeopathy – too small• Many studies not devised well –

engineered to reach positive conclusions?

Homeopathy – Warped in Time?

• Texts – written in the 19th Century and early 20th Century

• Deviation from texts is generally not accepted

• Relic of a science two hundred years old• Elaborate theoretic explanations for

everything• Resting on laurels of the Founders

Do we need to do anything?

• Don’t rise to the bait?• Millions of followers as it is – testament

enough?• Today’s science can’t prove it?• We were scientific in the 18th century• Unfair demands being made of

homeopathy

Clear and Present Danger

• Rapidly - losing government funding• Illegal to stop conventional medicines• Negligence filed for choosing alternative

medicine• Libel filed for criticizing conventional

medicine• Homeopathy left as last and desperate

option

Latest Tools and Homeopathy

• Variations in laboratory tests which define patients suffering – have little mention in the texts

• Markers of disease and disease progress are ignored

• Inability to use important diagnostic data in prescription

• Emerging clinical entities – ill defined in our texts

Confounding Variables

• Different Remedies for the same case• Difference in use of single or multiple

prescription• Difference in potency selection• Difference in repetition of doses• Validation of these differences?• Many ‘philosophies’

Advanced Homeopathy• Roots in Dr. Pareshnath Banerji’s

Homeopathic Practice, 1918.• Formalised by Dr. Parimal Banerji, 1976• 18 million prescriptions served, to date• Several thousand prescriptions served,

every day.• Combating emerging clinical entities and

understanding the changing faces of the ones we know of already.

Advanced Homeopathy - Roots

• Explosion of popularity of charitable practice

• Need to devise ways of quick prescription• Complete absence of all other medical

care in the vicinity• Inability to turn patients away• Compelled to take up serious cases• Handling 2500 cases a day

Advanced Homeopathy

• Reduces the variables of conventional homeopathy

• Simplification of Drug and Potency Selection• Clinical data spread over 91 years utilized• Statistical analysis of different homeopathic

medicines at different potencies for a given condition

• Gives a specific medicine at a specific potency for given conditions

Advanced Homeopathy• Shows that certain proved symptoms of a

drug are never cured in patients• Different spheres of action at different

potencies of the same drug• Validation of specific symptom groups of

particular potencies.• Homeopathic medicines combinations,

given in alternation, may significantly improve cure rates for specific conditions.

Advanced Homeopathy

• Quick Selection of drugs, with known effective potency

• Second line of treatment, known to be effective if first line fails

• Each stage clinically validated and statistically analyzed

• Used in critical care with minimal time loss

Constant Evolution

• Contributions from botanists, statisticians and physicians

• Findings presented at International Forums

• Driven by the need to support a rather large patient base

• Can continue to contribute to the science in general

Thyroid Swelling

• Painless, non tender and firm in consistency

• No discomfort in deglutition or dysphonia

• Mercurius Vivus 200c and Conium Mac 3c, usually once a day each

• Average of 30 Thyroid cases seen per day at the Clinic

Hepatic Ascites• Rapidly progressing in

nature• Severe discomfort for

the patient• Bryonia Alba 30c and

China 200c, alternated every 2 hours or at a higher frequency

• Average of 10 cases of liver disease is seen at the Clinic everyday.

Psoriasis

• Source of stigma and great physical discomfort

• Antimonium Crudum 6c and Arsenic Album 200c greatly improves most cases

Psoriasis• One dose each, every

day• Alternated twice daily in

rapidly progressing cases

• Works well in different forms of dermatitis, also

• An average of 20 cases of psoriasis seen every day at the Clinic

The Struggle Within

• Deviating from principles?• May not conform with many ‘hypotheses’• Conforms with original homeopathic

principles• Conditions treated with homeopathy alone,

many times over• Worried about homeopathic ‘effects’?

Clarification

• Advanced Homeopathy is not fail safe• There are a wide variety of protocols that

need to be understood, some times for one single illness

• Rates of success with patients significantly improved

• No deviation from the simple, easily comprehensible principles

Advanced Homeopathy

• Definitive remedy and potency selection• Definite second line of treatment• Definite basis for repetition of dose and

how• Based on clinical information, validated

and revalidated.• Only basis are its patients. No theories

and hypotheses.

‘If you believed that there is a bond,Between our future and our past,Then try to hold on to what we had,We built ‘em strong, we built to last.This is a mighty town,Built upon solid ground,And everything they tried so hard to kill,We will rebuild.’
