Dear Dr. Aamir Shahzad,
I sent you a long overdue response to your post of last July. I was not able to find the original thread. If you can bring it up again, I will post my reply on it. I'm not sure if I sent it to your correct current e-mail address and would appreciate hearing from you. You did say that if I posted on the BB, you would be notified.

Dear Shirley, I asked a question in response to your reply to someone else and you said at that time you will offer your views lately. The mails have been deleted from my mail box for creating space in the mail box. Any way this is your kind generiosty that you remereded and presented your views now. This also shows your committement, dedication and love with your profession.

I always get knowledge from your posts. Sometime the purpose of the asking question in bb is not to disturb the discussion but to highlights an already approved point (rule) which the initiating member is oversighting. In that context, if my name creates bad impresion of mine or my country then generally I do not care. The reason is we have been taught so many Hahnemannian rules (from 1st year to 4th year) and members here present their own clinical observations which directly contradict with those rules, than at that stage confusion starts. I always discuss the issues properly. At any stage, if I had ever been given teasing remarks than it was beyond my control as it was the result of my frustration due to homeopathic contradict philosophy which does not stand at one point. People think that we are against homeopathy, if they are thinking in such context then what we can do for them. Atleast, I can not support them in their fancy stories.

We (Pakistani) believe in practical work. We are among those who accept new experiences. We are those who are ready to leave those philosophical thoughts which contradict with our true observation in homeopathy. Sometime I do experiment in my clinic with homeopathy irrespective of rulings. And I gathered different conclusions which are not written anywhere in the books.

Thanks and Thanks again for your reply.

Aamir

Dear Shirley,

I am so sorry in my delay response. Recently I have purchase a plot in Johar Town, Lahore city. I was planning to start construction in that plot. I was also not visiting the bb moreover my email address was also not running.

Dr. Inam Ullah Mirza (in a function) and Dr. MAS (on my mobile) informed me about your mail and directed me to give you response.

Dear Aamir,
Would you like me, or would you like to, post my reply here and open up the discussion again, since neither of us have the original post?

Below is my letter to you.
I hope this opens up fruitful discussion.

Quote:
Dr. Aamir Shahzad,
I’m sorry for this reply to take so long (6 months), but our clinic has been very, very busy, and I have worked long hours ever since my return in August. We now have a snow storm and everything is closed, so I have some time to think about what to say. Unfortunately I cannot find the original thread, which was sometime in July, so I am e-mailing you privately.

I believe you took issue with my statement that orthodox/allopathic medicine is based on reductionism and homeopathy is based on vitalism. I can’t remember what the original thread was about, but I think it had something to do with the potencies being material or immaterial. I think I stated that in the lower potencies they were material or a mix of material and non-material; and in the higher potencies, i.e., those above Avagadro’s Number, they were non-material. I also think one of the replies alluded to the idea that the higher potencies were material, but of a nature that current science was not yet able to measure. I will grant the high probability of that being true. However, that does not negate my premise regarding the basis of orthodox vs. homeopathic medicine.

Vitalism is the idea that life processes arise from or contain nonmaterial vital principles and cannot be explained entirely as physical and chemical phenomena; while reductionism is the idea that nature can be understood by breaking things down to reveal how they work at the lowest level.

Orthodox medicine sees the person as a machine. The parts of this machine tend to breakdown and need to be repaired or replaced. The purpose of orthodox medicine, then is to repair or replace to correct dysfunction and restore normality. Orthodox medicine uses the principles of reductionism to learn how to do this. It tries to break things down in order to understand how they work.

Homeopathy, on the other hand, tries to see the whole picture; and more importantly, the whole picture of the person from a vital perspective, in order to understand the vital force of the patient: how is the vital force expressing itself and how strong is it. We then try to match a remedy to the total picture we have of the vital force. Using a remedy that matches a person’s vital force implies that we are using substances that have a similar nature to the vital force, which is immaterial.

I hope you receive this and look forward to your response.

Yours,
Shirley Reischman
