A few questions, Dr. MAS, if you would be so kind. You said, on another thread:

Just for the sake of writing the post. I feel that homeopaths are doing practice in some other way in their clinics and they have different approach on the net. When they are treating the patient.

With all due respect, do you not agree that on the internet it is harder to get your ideas/points across? There is no means of expressing oneself through voice inflection, gestures or otherwise. Therefore, it is much harder to "see" a case? People may appear to be acting differently than what they do in person, but how can we be sure until we meet them?
How can we be sure, in the first instance, that various homeopaths are prescribing differently than they would in actual life?
Also, doesn't the internet require a different form of case taking?
Which leads me to my next question ...

They used every method of treatment but when they talk on homeopathy. They talk according to so called philosophy which have no practical value. That is why our homeopathic system is not recognised in most of the modern world.

Surely, sir, you do not believe this is the sole reason for the lack of recognition that homeopathy receives? It may be one (of many). After all, homeopathy has been a divided field, ever since the time of Hahnemann.
Also, many homeopaths are reluctant to prescribe over the internet, thus reducing discussion to philosophy/theory (as I am doing here). One of the reasons could be because it is harder to "observe" a case over the internet. Lots of information could be missed. People, certainly in the some of the places I have lived, are not always aware of their own mannerisms, character, etc. A homeopath can observe this when dealing with someone face to face.
Case in point. It was interesting to note how when a homeopath in India asked his patient "What is your character?", the patient was able to answer quite eloquently on his own personality. You'd be lucky to get a one word answer out of some of the people I know. A homeopath would have to be a keen observer of human nature to get that sort of information out of these people. How can they achieve this over the internet, though?
Doesn't internet/email prescribing
demand another form of prescribing then? One that is determined by what information the patient allows us to have?
What are your thoughts on this?

They can not stand on one point. Every body has different approach in homeopathy. They will prescribe on different method but will not accept on forum. I am against this type of method.

Please see my questions to you on the renal failure thread [oops, that should be Homeopathy - Art or Science thread], i.e. if there is no rule, how then can anyone say they are doing homeopathy? What, then, defines homoeopathy?
Dr MAS, I would be grateful if you could answer these last two questions on the other thread.
I ask these questions in the spirit of learning and understanding.
