Ask Homeopath · #1 (**permalink**) 1st March 2004, 11:12 PM

I received RTF file through paki mailing list. Would you like to offer your comments. I am going to paste the mail with links.

Few months ago, I received a mail in my inbox in which a person pointed out that few pharmacies are marketing products with dual name on potency bottle. I asked the same question to few homeopaths via email. I received different replies. Each one were conflicting with one another. Here is the summary of these replies.

Few pharmacies are writing ACID SILICICUM under silicea. The question was, is it same or are these two different chemicals in homeopathy? After reading the whole mail, there is still confusion for me. Please clarify to me.

Here is the comment.

Silicicum Acidicum shows that it has hydrogen ion in it that is why you are calling it an acid. Just like you have read about Sulphuric Acid (H2So4), Nitric Acid (HNo3) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCL). All of them have Hydrogen Ion which represent Acids. All these acidic remedies have great use in our homeopathic practice. In the same way, if on a potency Acid Silicicum is written then it is understood that it has hydrogen ion in it? But silicea (homeopathic proved remedy) is Silicic Anhydride and not Silicic Acidicum. Anhydride means a substance without water. Here "An" also represents absence of Hydrogen ion. May I right?

Most of the homeopathic pharmacies are not manufacturing the product according to the strict compliance of the Hahnemannian Protocol. Secondly we (Homeopaths) have no confirmative test to verify the products.

Suppose just for a minute, if a pharmacy writes, this is aconite 30 and actually that potency is not aconite 30 then how can we verify this? And how can we claim of cure? Is it not radicoulous?

My teacher (not my teacher but the person who sent me the mail) is a professor in a college. He is teaching homeopathy for many years. His special field of interest is homeopathic research. He sent this report to me.

One day he did an experiment. He handed over a placebo Potency Bottle by labelling Aconite 30 over it to a medical officer of college Hospital with few instructions. In OPD, some 100 patients report daily. Few patients were Aconite patients. Aconite 30 (placebo potency) was prescribed to five patients. All of them were detained in the hospital. The medical officer reported that three of them are feeling better. Remember, Medical Officer was not aware of Fictitious Potency (Aconite 30).

How the patients were feeling better? When the actual medicine was not given?

A team of students of Research and methodology department carried out the experiments under the supervision of Prof Dr. MAS. On absoulte cases of silicea, Silicicum Acidum 30 (own prepared with actual Silicicum Acidum) was prescribed. After few days, white spots developed on a patient. The skin of the colour also got changed from brown to white. In the few cases of vitilago, that own prepared Silicicum Acidum 30 was given and great improvement was observed. The research report on vitilago can be seen on Dr. MAS site.

The question is if homeopaths are prescribing acid silicicum in their daily practice on absoulte cases of silicea then how can homeopaths claim cure over absoulte cases of Silicea when actually they are giving Acid Silicicum 200 and not silicea as mentioned on potency bottle.

Here are the few glimpses which I have stolen from his site and copied it in an own created profile's folder for ready reference.

Dr. mas is showing silicea 200 potency (sealed). Lot Number is also visible.

In the Research and methodology department, a close look on Silicea.

The Dr. mas is showing patient hand which has turned into white.
