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.

Yes! sure

Salicicum Acidicum and Silicea (SiO2) are two different things. Silicea is not written in German Pharmacopeia. They can not prepare Silicea as a rule. But Salicium Acid is written in German Pharmacopeia. The starting materia of Silicea is Acid Salicium which is an acid but silicea is not an acid. So technically speaking silicea is not salicicum acidicum. I don't know what the actual compound is in Silicea potency. This can only be verified by experiment. Which is not available in homeopathy :razz:

These kind of examples are giving bad name to homeopathy. Which encourage people to say "Homeopathy is a fraud". The reason is you can't testify what you are saying. O.K

I think, we should clarify from the manufaturer, why the pharmacy has written an acid under silicea. if silicea is not an acid? I think we should consult to any chemist for clarification? Salicylic Acid is totally different thing.

That's the reason why we are struggling hard for the drug act implementation in the country. The meeting under the leadership of Dr. MAS with Choudhry Shujaat Hussain (Leader of the Pakistan Parliament and President of the Governing Party Muslim League) was highly successfull. Some fifty doctors all around the punjab province were present. Dr. Mas briefed his excellency about the problems which we are facing in Pakistan. Beside many issues, this drug act issued was also discussed.

Dr. Aamir, don't use the words "his excellency". Its such undue praise that has made the "rulers" behave the way they are.

They are here to serve us not rule.

You know about Ch. Shujaat all that is there to know, still do you think he is "his excellency"?

See my comments at the earlier thread

I know what you are saying and in which context you are writing..

To me any person who help or support homeopathy in any form that person is my excellence.

I was not among the group who met with him. I read the news in newspaper.

Raises a question I have often pondered - how much is the individual homeopath part of the cure . For my part I am sure that theres is a relationship between homeopath and patient that can act towards cure . Always be careful how you treat a patient on the empathic level.

Ask Homeopath · #9 (**permalink**) 13th April 2004, 02:23 AM

yes, there is a relationship b/w a patient and homeopath, without building this relationship, its very difficult to select a remedy. my experience is people do not understand why homeopaths ask so many questions. on each question they ridicously reply without knowing that how important are questions.

Question about Silicea 6X

I'm new to homeopathic medicine and I was wondering if someone could tell me what Silicea 6X is made from and what it is used for. A friend told me it was a cure for boils. She said she had her boils for several years and tried all kinds of prescriptions from doctors but she never completely got rid of her boils until she took the Silicea 6X. I'm especially interested in what it is derived from. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you, Jani

Yes, it cures boils.
