HOMOEOPATHY IS A SCIENCE AS WELL AS AN ART.

Sayings of some great people ABOUT health & treatment - HOMOEOPATHY.

The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sallalla-ho-Alaihai Wasalam says “Every disease is from Allah Tallah (God). When He wants to nearer to his creatures (Human Being) and give some thing to them, He sends some disease to them”.

Sayings of The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sallalla-ho-Alaihai Wasalam “Allah Tallah (God) has made treatment, cure and health of every disease except the disease of death”.

The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sallalla-ho-Alaihai Wasalam says “That is only Allah Tallah (God), Who gives illness and then health to His creatures”,

Sayings of The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sallalla-ho-Alaihai Wasalam “There is medicine for every illness/disease. When the medicine’s symptoms are the same like its patient disease, the patient shall cure and got health”.

Dr. Heinemann MD, the founder of Homoeopathy, says “If I want then I may fill my house with bricks of gold but I did not do so. Allah Tallah gave me a way of treatment (Homoeopathy) which I gave to His creations and fulfill my duty”.

Dr. J.H.Clarke MD says “Homoeopathy is the most complete and scientific system of health”.

Dr. T.J.Kent MD says “The person who does not believe on Allah Tallah (God), then he cannot be a true Homoeopath”.

Dr. J.W.Rafin Smith says “Homoeopathic way of treatment produces an exact, accurate and solvable treatment for any physical and mental disease”.

Dr. Abid Hussain says “For complete and actual health, Homoeopathy takes much less time while all other ways of treatment play with the health and pocket of the patient”.

Dr. Abid Hussain says “Homoeopathy is a science as well as an art which fills colors and health in humanity”.

Dr. Abid Hussain says “in world ESPECIALLY in Pakistan, Homoeopathy is the only way of treatment which can cure completely without any side effect/less side effects”.

Dr. Abid Hussain says “Homoeopathy is the only way of treatment from which the Homoeopath can CURE their patient. In today's science space age where the mind of human being is beyond the limits, it is proved that Homoeopathy is science and an art simultaneously”. 

WHAT IS HOMOEOPATHY? 

The word “Homoeopathy” has taken from Latin languages and its founder Dr. Heinemann MD has chosen this name to differentiate it from the other way of treatment. “Alupathy” must praise Dr. Heinemann who has chosen this name for that way of treatment. Word “Homoeopathy”, means “The way of treating likes with likes”.

Homoeopathy can be defined as “Homoeopathy is a science as well as an art from which, the patient can be treated with his internal and external symptoms treating likes with likes”.

Homoeopathy has COMPLETE PRINCIPALS and philosophy and these principals has described by its founder Dr. Heinemann MD in his book “Organon”. No other way of treatments has any principals and philosophy. This is only Homoeopathy which all medicines have tested over very healthy persons with different ages of both the sexes i.e. men and women. There is no medicine in Homoeopathy whose proving has not done on human body which in all the other ways, the medicine have been proved over the animals like mousses, rabbits, pigs, dog, AND CATS etc. etc. You know very well that the human being is totally different from the body of animals and when these drugs has imposed on human beings, then there manufacturers know its very very dangerous and bad side effects. After that, these drugs has uplift from the market and a new drug has imposed on human beings. That is why, the rate of cure in Homoeopathy is very very high among the other ways of treatment.

In Homoeopathy, there is no particular disease . It depends upon the symptoms and feeling which a person describes and a good Homoeopath totally depends upon it and treat his patient in the light of that symptoms and feelings which his patient described. Homoeopathy knows the cause of illness and a Homoeopath treats to totally removes that disease from the body of his patient.   

It is a wrong common opinion in the minds of most human beings that Homoeopathy is a slow way of treatment. While in my opinion, only the homoeopathic way of treatment which is the most curative, fastest, safest and complete way of treatment among all other ones, If the patient describes his conditions and symptoms completely and correctly to the Homoeopath. Mostly, it is called a miracle when a patient cures completely with in a very short interval of time without any side effect where the other ways of treatment totally failed.

Homoeopathy is a medical system of treatment that uses natural remedies to arouse and strengthen the natural capacity of the body to overcome diseases. Homeopathic remedies come mainly from plant, animal and mineral sources. The most important aspect, however, is not the source of the remedies but the special method of their preparation which involves a repeated process of mixing, diluting and shaking till the chemical properties of the substances to be used as remedies are totally eliminated. This systematic and calculated process of remedy preparation, introduced by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, ABOUT two centuries back, HAS dual advantage: i) it arouses the deeper therapeutic power of the remedy which remains latent in the presence of chemical properties and ii) it renders the remedy totally safe as with the washing away of the chemical properties, there remains no chance of chemical toxicity.

Another outstanding feature is the unique method employed to ascertain the curative powers of a substance to be used as a remedy. Before their clinical use, homeopathic remedies are subjected to extensive testing and experiments on healthy human volunteers (usually HOMOEOPATHIC doctors and students) for their effects. The effects of drugs so obtained through massive trials are recorded in a medicinal book called Materia Medica. Experiments have shown that a drug substance that produces certain symptoms in a good number of healthy volunteers can remove the very same symptoms in a sick when given in homoeopathic dose. For example, Cinchona Bark, if given to a healthy person, causes severe chill, shivering, PROSTRATION, nausea, perspiration, etc. – the symptoms closely resembling those of Malaria – AND IN HOMOEOPATHIC doses it cures a good number of cases of Malaria. Cumulative experience of over 200 years of continual trials has established the scientific validity of this method of drug-experimentation. Over a period of two centuries, hundreds of drugs have been tested and each one has withstood the test of time, working as specifically and safely today as in the past.

The concept of health, disease and cure revolves around the presence and governance of a self-regulating force within the body. This force is responsible to maintain health and keep the body, its organs and systems in a perfect working order. In health, it functions at its optimum and ensures that all the organs and systems perform harmoniously so that the individual may work towards the fulfillment of the high purpose of his creation.  In disease, it attempts to restore the normal state. Disease is seen as the central disturbance of this force caused or excited by its failure or inability to cope with external disease producing factors such as bacteria, virus, environmental or medicinal pollution, extremes of weather, etc. Disease is recognized through signs and symptoms which are termed as body’s effort at self-healing. The object of treatment is to bring this force to its former state of normal functioning through homoeopathic doses.

How does homoeopathy look at health, disease and cure?

Health is a balanced state where all organs and systems of the body perform in a harmonious way and the individual has a sense and feeling of wellness – both physically and mentally. Disease is a departure from normalcy in functions and sensations. Each one of us has the natural capacity to overcome disease. We fall ill because this natural capacity becomes subdued due to a number of factors such as stress, bacteria, virus, environmental or medicinal pollution, extremes of weather, etc. The energized homoeopathic doses provide a light stimulus to our defense system and it once again becomes active. As a result, we return to health.

What kind of diseases can homeopathy treat?

Homeopathy can treat a wide range of diseases including acute, infectious, chronic and in some cases even those diseases where surgery seems to be imminent.  Some of the areas where homeopathy has helped avoid surgery are diseases of nose, throat, eyes, tonsils, spine, digestive organs, kidneys, gall-bladder, prostate gland, female reproductive organs,  etc. Cases of arthritis, asthma, migraine, allergies, etc. respond well. In brief, all diseases without irreversible pathological changes can successfully be treated with homeopathy.

Do Homoeopathic medicines have any side effects?

Single homeopathic remedies prescribed and taken appropriately are 100% safe, even if taken for a longer period.  The same cannot be said about multi-ingredient medicines (loosely called mixtures, combinations, compounds and also Homoeopathy by Numbers) as there is no dependable scientific study to show their safety though claims by the manufacturing companies abound. Good homoeopaths avoid prescribing multi-ingredient medicines.

Why are homeopathic remedies slow to act?

Homoeopathic remedies are NOT slow to act!

 

Just try to see, what type of cases come to a homoeopath; chronic cases of long standing; the cases that have defied all modes of conventional treatment; the cases that have been overdrugged and declared “incurable”.  In such cases, if homoeopathy takes a few months to effect a cure or to provide a long lasting relief, that, in all fairness, should not be misconstrued as “slowness” of homoeopathic remedies. There is a difference between a “prompt but temporary relief” and a “cure” (permanent removal of disease). Homeopathy does not try to suppress or cover up symptoms to provide “prompt relief” rather addresses the underlying cause so that the disease is radically cured wherever it is possible.

Is Homoeopathy a cure-all medicine?

No, it is not. Homoeopathy can cure almost all acute diseases in a shorter period than any other system of medicine. It is highly effective in a number of chronic diseases. It can safely cure several such cases where surgery seems to be imminent. But, like any other science, it has its scope and limitations. Cases with advanced tissue changes usually do not respond well to homoeopathic treatment, though, in such cases too, a temporary relief can be obtained.

How can I find a good homeopath?

The best way to find a good homeopath is to get referred to one through recommendation of a satisfied patient. Ask your friends and acquaintances. One of them may be able to refer you to a good homoeopath.

How can I know that a homeopath is competent?

That is very difficult but the following hints will be helpful.

 

First, see what does he prescribe: single remedies or multi-ingredient medicines (i.e. combinations and mixtures) or both? Good homeopaths usually do not prescribe combinations and mixtures. Secondly, see how many single remedies he prescribes for a patient. A competent homeopath will prescribe one or two (single) remedies. Suspect his competence if he prescribes more than two single remedies. Thirdly, be wary if he uses lengthy initials or titles with his name. The only legal qualification recognized by the National Council for Homeopathy is D.H.M.S. Those with a qualification of D.H.M.S. are registered with the National Council for Homoeopathy and entitled to use initials “R.H.M.P.” that stand for Registered Homoeopathic Medical Practitioner. Other initials or titles are just showpieces meant to attract and impress patients. Fourthly, see how much time does he give to each patient. Initial visits to experienced homeopaths may take from 20 minutes to an hour in chronic cases. Subsequent visits may take 10-30 minutes. In acute cases, he may take 5-15 minutes. It is possible to schedule less time than the above under some extraordinary circumstances but that is the exception not the rule.

What should I expect at the visit to a homeopath?

Since homeopathy is a highly individualized treatment, focusing on the patient as a whole, the homoeopath would be interested not only in  your present illness but would also like to know about your personality characteristics and traits, your habits and moods, likes and dislikes or preferences for certain food items, your achievements and disappointments, your reaction to weather changes, to stressful situations, to warmth and cold, … the list is long. You will feel, he wants to know all about you - at times even to the extent of your routine in 24 hours. Well, such a deep probing may appear disturbing to you but it is essential in order to have a thorough understanding of YOU and your medical problems.

The first interview can last from 20 minutes to over an hour depending upon the nature of your disease and the skill and experience of the homoeopath.  During all this period, you will find him extremely attentive, listening, asking questions and taking notes of essential points. Once the interview (case-taking) is over, he will go over the notes and may ask you a few more questions to clarify some points. Then, after analyzing the data so gathered, he will write out a prescription, keeping in view your personal particulars and specific problems.

P.S.
 

Some homoeopaths have a printed questionnaire. The patient is asked to provide detailed answers to the questions set out in the questionnaire to save time. The information provided by the patient is held in the strictest confidence.

Why do most of the homeopaths in Pakistan refuse to give names of the medicines they prescribe?

Every patient has a right to know what he is being prescribed. In some cases, however, it may be to patient’s own interest if the homoeopath withholds the name of the remedy. However, if the patient insists, the homeopath should readily oblige him, informing him of the possible impediments and difficulties caused by unnecessary repetitions or too long ingestion.  If a homeopath withholds the name of the remedy, despite a request by the patient, that can be for considerations other than the patient’s well-being. Either the homeopath lacks confidence in what he prescribes or fears the patient would dump him. The homeopath-patient relationship should be one of mutual trust and regard for each other’s responsibilities, obligations and interests.

What should I give to my son, Belladonna 30 or Bapatisia 30 for fever?

 

What should I give to my son, Belladonna 30 or Bapatisia 30 for fever? A few days back, my daughter, aged 7, and son, aged 9, caught fever. A local homoeopath prescribed Belladonna 30 for my daughter and Baptisia 30 for my son. Both made a quick recovery. Now my another son, aged 5, has caught fever. I wonder, whether I should give him Belladonna 30 or Baptisia 30?

Homoeopathy has more than a hundred remedies for different varieties of fevers. Belladonna and Baptisia are two of them. In majority of the cases, where the onset is sudden, characterized by restlessness, heat, redness of the face, tossing about, anxiety, Belladonna and Baptisia (and also Aconite) often help but not all cases of fevers are covered by these three remedies. Without a full case, it is difficult to say whether your son needs Belladonna, Baptisia or some other remedy. Please consult your homoeopath. After taking the case in accordance with the requirements of homoeopathy, he will be able to prescribe a remedy most suited to your son’s symptoms. Please also see "What is different about homeopathy".

What is the best medicine for arthritis?

The best remedy for a given disease differs from case to case in homoeopathy as the remedy is not selected for the disease name but for the patient as a whole taking into account the striking symptoms and modalities of his problems) as well as his personal characteristics. In one case of arthritis, Bryonia alba may work but in the other it may not do any good and Rhus toxicodendron may help. Yet in the third case, the patient may not benefit from any of the two and may need Causticum or  Pulsatilla or any other remedy according to the particular indications and personal characteristics. So in that sense, there is no best remedy for any disease in homoeopathy. The medicine that works in a given case is the best for that case ONLY.

A disappointing experience about homoeopathy!

Quite contrary to what others say about homoeopathy, I have had a disappointing experience. A few months back, a Karachi-based homoeopathic doctor, who writes columns for evening newspapers and claims to be foreign qualified and suffixes a number of degrees after his name, advised a certain number, CH number or BP number (I do not remember now) for height growth and two or three other “numbers” for weight gain. I used these medicines for three months without any success. Are the medical columns appearing in newspapers just advertisement stuff?

You are right, these columns are meant for promotion of certain unhomoeopathic mixtures and combinations under the guise of “homoeopathic medicines”!  There is no room for mixtures or combinations in homoeopathy. Homoeopathy insists on administration of just one remedy (called single remedy) at a time. To learn how homoeopathy goes about treating a case, please see Patient-oriented approach in my piece, “What is different about homoeopathy”. Also see "What is the difference between single and multi-ingredient medicines?"

It is time, the different NGOs working for rational use of medicine, chalked out a strategy to prevent such a big fraud. Our government should also wake up to the gravity of the situation.

Are Combination Numbers really effective?

I have used more than three bottles each of Combination NUMBERs of at least two local and four foreign homoeopathic manufacturing companies for my joint-pains but the complaint returns as soon as I stop these medicines. Shall I have to be on them for life?

No,  Inshah Allah. What you need to do is immediately stop these medicines and consult a competent homoeopath. He will give you a specific prescription most suited to your form of joint-pains.

It  seems pertinent to point out, why the medicines you took for so long gave just temporary relief! There are several remedies (more than 127) which specifically affect joints. You may need 1-3 or more SINGLE remedies at different times during the course of treatment under a competent homoeopath. To know which remedy (out of  a long list of more than 127 remedies) would be more suitable for you would require a lot of information about YOU and your complaint(s) and an in-depth analysis of this information as in homoeopathy, each case of joint-pain, as of any other medical problem, needs to be individualized. Individualization is essential because each individual is different from the other and  suffers in his/her own unique way, therefore, each one requires a different set of remedies although the diagnosis may be the same such as arthritis, gout, etc.

Since the Combination NUMBERS (multi-ingredient medicines) are a GENERALIZED concoction of usually 4-8 or more medicines for a certain complaint ONLY e.g. arthritis, asthma, eczema, etc.,  they do not act deep enough to touch the right chords and fail to stimulate the immune system to produce a long lasting beneficial effect. Strictly speaking Combination NUMBERS are not prepared in accordance with the principles of homeopathic pharmacy as they contain several ingredients mixed in low strength while homoeopathy advocates use of just one remedy (not multi-ingredient medicines as in your case) at a time. Further, there is no dependable scientific study to support the claims about the efficacy and safety of Combination Numbers. While evidence suggests, they are not totally ineffective, they have all the potential to complicate a case by suppressing or masking the original symptoms of the disease. If not anything else, their use can delay the proper medical care.

What is the difference between single and multi-ingredient medicines?

A single remedy is a widely researched and studied remedy which before its use in the clinic has been extensively tested on healthy human volunteers (usually students of homeopathy and homeopathic physicians) for its effects. Single remedies used appropriately are 100% safe.

Multi-ingredient medicines are a concoction of two or more single remedies usually in low strength – Ø, 1X, 2X, 3X, 3C, 6C, etc. The problem with multi-ingredient medicines is that they contain homoeopathic ingredients but the method of their preparation is not that of homoeopathic pharmacy.  Further, there is no dependable scientific study to support the claims about the efficacy and safety of these medicines. While evidence suggests, they are not totally ineffective, they have all the potential to complicate a case by suppressing or masking original symptoms of the patient. If not anything else, their use can delay the proper medical care.

What do health, disease and cure mean from homoeopathic point of view?

Health is a balanced state where all organs and systems of the body perform in a harmonious way and the individual has a sense and feeling of wellness  – both physically and mentally. Disease is a departure from normalcy in functions and sensations. Each one of us has the natural capacity to overcome disease. We fall ill because this natural capacity becomes subdued due to a number of factors such as stress, bacteria, virus, environmental or medicinal pollution, extremes of weather, etc. The energized homoeopathic doses provide a light stimulus to our defense system and it once again becomes active. As a result, we return to health.

Do homoeopaths recognise the findings of laboratory tests?

Yes, but they do not base their prescriptions on those findings alone. For example, in a case of urinary tract infection, the lab tests would identify the “responsible organism” and show to which antibiotics it is resistant and to which it is sensitive. At this point, the allopath would start the treatment but a homoeopath would proceed to seek more information (For details, please see, What is different? and About homoeopathy) to select a remedy most suited to that particular case as homeopathy does not consider the organisms to be the root cause of disease. We get infected only when our defence system fails to show a resistance strong enough to ward off the effects of these organisms. The presence of organisms is, therefore, just an exciting cause, not the primary cause. The object of homoeopathic treatment is not to kill the organism but to put the system in proper order so that it no longer serves as a host to it or provides a breeding or thriving ground for its multiplication.

It is called that "only the literate persons uses Homoeopathy as their way of treatment only".
