If your practitioner is able to engage you in your treatment and his enthusiasm for the remedy he's prescribed, you can become enthusiastic also, which can put you in a better frame of mind for accepting the treatment. If you are shut out,
you will be resentful, which could block the acceptance of the remedy. It doesn't make sense to put your patient in negative frame of mind unless you can absolutely convince him that he's better off not knowing for a while, and he's totally OK with that.

Ruthmans,

I think you did not read all titles currently running on this board. Very prominent homeopath Dr. Leela prescribe remedy China ars. To my knowledge it is the perfect techincal suggestion for KKrista's cat. But telling the prescription, she was jumbled up by Dr. Mujahid. Although Dr. Mujahid was right in his opinion. But Dr. Leela was right in her opinion. This created a lot of confussion for a patient or KKrista.

That is why 95 % homeopath do not forward their selection to their patients. Because when a patient will show that slip to another homeopath. That homeopath will certainly create confussion just like Dr. Mujahid created here.

I think you followed my point. What Khokhar thinks. I don't know

In India, this giving the name may not always be possible. Most people are not educated and poor so one should not be surprised if the patient goes to with the empty labelled vial and purchase the remedy over the counter(coz that remedy helped him the last time). this way he saves on the consultation fees.

Even among the educated, i prefer to give the exact number of pills or else they continue taking it till it gets over. No amount of explanation seem to help them understand the need to take as much as is needed. when i have the time i try to explain them concepts of remedy proving, antidote, potency and it is then that they can reason and say, "ok, now i wont take any extra, i felt if i took all i would get better faster".

but i guess it must be different out there in Europe and America

I had an interesting case this morning. The person said she had been doing really well for quite a while and then the remedy stopped working after several cups of coffee. She said she had forgotten she was on a remedy and asked me how she could remember next time. I offered to give her a month's worth of a placebo and she was thrilled.

I occassionally find a need to give placebo and when when I do, I write 'Essel' and tell the person that it will help the remedy to act more fully. By the time a person is versed enough in homeopathy to be suspicious, they know enough to be patient and not expect a remedy at every visit.

Another situation occurs when I have someone very familiar with homeopathy. I will ask them if they would mind if I did not tell them the name of the remedy until they return for a follow up. Some people are OK with it and some are not. If not, then I tell them.

My own homeopath always tells me (and of course I read up on it - I'm such a bad homeopathic patient!). The last few times I've had a rememdy I'm not familiar with and I promised myself that I would not read about it. It's an interesting experience not knowing what the SXs of the remedy are that I'm on.

Valerian and Dr Salim,

Thank you for explaining your view point. In the end I guess it comes down to using your common sense. It may not be appropriate in all cases to divulge the name of the remedy. Very much on an individual basis.

I will bear this in mind when begining to take case notes and when I start up my pracitce.

My Homeopath has taken to not telling me what he's giving my son becasue he knows I'll look it up and then be expecting the changes that I see in print. He'd rather hear from me what I saw change than what I hoped to see change.

In our code of practice it says
'A Homeopath is required to offer the identity of the remedy prescribed'

Hope

Where it is written, In our code of practice it says 'A Homeopath is required to offer the identity of the remedy prescribed'

Acording to psychological code of ethics. Don't tell the medicine to your patient. You don't have the time to tell the patient the reason of selection of remedy. When you will handed over the prescription. The patient will surly contact to his/her friend or professional for inquiring about his / her remedy action.

This is the common observation we daily observe. But again I will say. We should tell the remedy name to our patient but under limitation.
