Medical officer - OK OK !!! I think I now understand what you are getting at. In my first post on the subject I said that Coryza and Catarrh are the same. By this I meant that they were both to do with mucus production and over production (sycotic miasm)and I think everyone(???) would agree with this!!!!

Re the classical homeopathy bit, what can I say? I will try to explain. In MY mind when I say classical homeopathy I mean that in chronic (constitutional) case taking I prescribe one remedy, minimum dose and wait!!! This is as opposed to those homeopaths who give more than one remedy at a time, what I call eclectic prescribing. The homeopaths on this BB tend to be of the "classical" prescriber type.
Now please don't come back to me and say that on another thread I have suggested the continuous prescribing of Symphytum + tissue salts because a) this IMHO is an acute problem b)I am quite happy to prescribe tissue salts at the same time as a remedy in potency because I do not believe that they work on the same energy level and I believe that they can complement each other.

Re the allopathic + homeopathy at the same time:- In UK if an allopathic doctor has prescribed a drug, we are forbidden to overturn this without the prescribing doctor's permission. In some cases , as I am sure you will agree, immediate cessation of the prescribed drug would be positively dangerous e.g. anti depressants, steroids. I work with the patient and their prescribing allopatic doctor to cut down the medication once the patient has noticed a positive effect from the homeopathy. Patients come to me and have to pay from the National Health Service (NHS) which is free in the UK, because they are not happy with the results that they are getting. So once their presenting comnplaint is improving then we start cutting down on the allopathic drugs.
Re the contraceptive pill this has to be a patient's choice . I am quite happy to prescribe for patients on the pill and I do get the results that they require despite. Re HRT - once homeopathy has helped their presenting complaint then I will suggest coming off the HRT and giving homeopathic support during this. Yes I know that our remedies will work better if the patient came off the HRT first but this would then bring back all the symptoms that the patient went on it for and there is no way they will put up with this. Better I have found to treat constitutionally first and then deal with the HRT issue later. I have patients that are on various Rheumatoid Arthritis drugs when they first come to see me and after a constitutional remedy we can start cutting them down. When patients have been on these drugs for many years you can't just take them off them just like that. And anyway , as I have explained I am not allowed to.

I hope the above gives you more insight to the way we have to work in the UK. We have to educate the population about homeopathy as many have no idea what it is. At least we are able to practice on our own which is more than can be said for colleagues in many parts of the USA.

I also am a Master Practitioner in Meridian Therapies (mainly EFT, see www.emofree.com) and use this very successfully in conjunction with homeopathy but I presume that you lot from India and Pakistan would disapprove of this as well. Personally I am beginning to think that we need separate discussion boards as it is becoming difficult to have a civil discussion at times.

Quoted from Ricky's post

Today, at least Dr.MAS would be the most happy man on this bb who said on so many occassions that each homeopath has its own set of rules for practicing homeopathy and each homeopath has the opinion that other is wrong. Each homeopath has its own philosophy and believe. Homeopathy is running on believe. Homeopathy is not a scientific system of medicine.

This cross posting rule was designed on the request of lyghtforce listee. That rule is not applicable here as jon never told us about that rule on this forum so member on this forum are not familiar about this rule.

When lyghtforce mailing listee were talking about this rule. I told them it will creat lot of problem for them. If they have some concerns with me then they can sort them out with me privately but don't create problem for others.

You will not believe me. those who were in favour of that rule they are now in serious tension. They are themselves violating the rules. Now they are worry why they recommended for making cross posting rules. I am strictly following the rule. For this purpose I have adopted another procedure instead of cross posting.

Jonh,

As you were remain attorney in UK. So I believe that you can give better judgement. You never told us about cross posting rule at hhbb. But still I am following that rule both on mailing lists and hhbb. Now you can see that many people are sending cross posts. Why this restriction is for me only. I should also be allowed to cross post that matter.

Do you want to give impression that some members are free from HHBB rules.

So what happened to the topic in question? Gone off track me thinks!

No.... this will also run side by side.

Ricky you have admitted so much things. I think it is enough. You are courageous woman. Keep it up!

Not courageous, just truthful!!

Loved the reply to your post on Lyghtforce Homeobond

AFter the start of this thread Ricky did not sleep whole night. She really struggled hard and defended his military post very elegantly. When she was collecting her weapons after winning the military post and was planning to go back at home. I tried to disturb her again but she again escaped neatly. She is an intelligent doctor and an honour for everyone.
