Any body who reads this thread will understand the difference between the quality of advices we gave to the seeker.

You dish out nothing but rhetoric. I tell them something useful. There lies the difference.

Relax.

You have great respect for Dr. Luc?

Here is more of what he said regards casetaking/prescribing remedies;

Dr. B - You seem to favor Boenninghausen’s approach over that of Kent’s. Why is it so?

Dr. Luc - I teach five different methods to my students to find the simillimum and I favor no one method over the other. Depending on the case, one or more than one method can be chosen and be successful. The von Boenninghausen method is particularly attractive in that it deals first with the modalities of the patient, which are usually constant and easily remembered and expressed by the patient. The often difficult to find mental emotional symptoms are only used at the end to differentiate between close remedies. It is a method that should be taught worldwide, but again this is not done. As a student of psychology and especially C.G.Jung, I love the subjective symptoms.

Do you know what is VB's method? Did you ever apply it in your cases?

Have you ever heard of the 'snap shot ' prescribing as told by Nash?

You claim to be a 'professional' homeopath.

Do you think attending a few hours of lectures, participating in a few seminars and attending a clinic by Banerjia make you more professional than those like Sajjad who attended a six hour a day classes all through five years, studied varied subjects like anatomy, physiology etc, and attended crowded clinics in govt. hospitals under the supervision of seniors for not less than a year before they were awarded the degree?

If having a 'paper' on hand which proclaims you as a homeopath is all that is needed to practice homeopathy succesfully there are a quarter of a million of them in India alone, but many of them are yet to feel succesful in their careers.

So don't insist on seeing a 'professional' homeopath. There are many self made homeopaths better than the so called 'pseudo' professionals. There are perhaps three classes if you really want to classify. The 'real' professionals, the 'pseudo' professionals and 'self made' homeopaths.

All of them are capable of curing as well as messing the case up. So please stop making these distinctions. If you can't help the seekers remain quiet and let others who are capable of helping to do so.

* There are physicians who call themselves homeopaths, but are so only in name, as they do not follow the methods worked out by Hahnemann.
What it comes down to is:
The main objective is the BEST INTEREST OF THE PATIENT,"first do no harm"................
Carefull/detailed case analysis- case follow up-monotoring the patient-

Gina,
What kind of harm you are expecting from us,the homeopathic medicines and homeopathy.
We are practitioners not story teller.
Homeopathy is a vast subject.It is a perfect medical science not an art.
Two hours case taking is not necessry in every case.
sajjad.

Sajjad
Yes of course,with "true acute" symptoms no need for a full 2hr casetaking,Keynotes,modalities,<> will most often do.
The problem is "anything and everything" is looked upon as an Acute by some homeopaths-there is a vast difference.

Acute= symptoms lasting one day to a few weeks,things resolve verry quicky,remedy acts quick.....................

Chronic=symptoms lasting months to several years,reocurring suppressions,never get well,deep chronic complex miasmatic cases,resolved verry slowly,sometimes takes months to a yr to balance,carefull case analysis needs to be monotored,patient must be kept an eye on,layers addressed,deep acting constitutionals applied. Iatrogenic symptomology makes a false picture of patients true imbalance.Tetragenic effects,epigenetic effects need complex analysis via proper casetaking.

Sajjad I hope this makes it more clear............................................. .................................................. .............

My reply to you:
You know "nothing" about my life/ details of my studies/ Homeopathic practice,to slander my practice is a low blow

Why do you assume that we don't know the difference between an acute case and a chronic case?

Even for dealing with chronic cases there are different methods. We are as much aware of our responsibilities towards the patients as you are.

Just reflect back and try to remember who started hitting below the belt first. If you need I can give references.

I too am a person just like you who won't take things lying down.

Murthy
shall we go into your "None" Homeopathic Educational Background -Since "you" brought up this subject?
Are you not an Egineer by profession.
You are -not- even a homeopath,yet prescribes via random suggestions.How is this possibly in the best interest of the patient?

Now Back to Homeopathic Principles for prescribing:
THE TOTALITY OF THE SYMPTOMS
As our sole guide in the choice of the curative remedy is the totality of the symptoms, it is necessary to enquire to what is meant by the totality.

In acute diseases every symptom experienced by the patient or observable by others is to be included in the totality; also any cause, such as wetting, fright, etc., and circumstances aggravating and ameliorating.
As an acute diseases never forms a complex with a chronic one, the latter being suppressed until the former one has run its course, care must be taken when ascertaining the symptoms of the acute diseases not to take into account old symptoms which belong to the chronic diseases. But in some cases of acute diseases, SYMPTOMS of the chronic diseases remain and are active during the acute diseases;

such chronic symptoms are peculiar because they have not disappeared, and very often are guiding to the cure of the acute diseases; while the remedy will have no relation to the chronic diseases, yet that peculiar symptom will stand out and guide you to the remedy that will cure the acute diseases; such symptoms are peculiar to the patient - [Kent, Medical Advance, January 1890.]

In chronic diseases the totality includes all symptoms experienced by the patient since birth, excluding these arising during acute diseases. While theoretically it is proper to include all such symptoms yet great caution must be used. (1) some other chronic miasm may have been acquired during life, or (2) the symptoms may have been so perverted by inappropriate treatment that they do not truly represent the diseases,-[Kent, Journal of Homoeopathics July 1899.]

When the symptoms have been much perverted by inappropriate treatment we can sometimes get a sure foundation on which to base a prescription by taking the symptoms as experienced by the patient before this inappropriate treatment was commenced.

This investigation into the former symptoms of the patient is frequently of great service when the presently existing symptoms do not point clearly to any remedy. For example, in an adult with neuralgia of the limbs, where present symptoms are not guiding, if we find that in infancy he had scald-head like that of Mezereum; and we now examine the neuralgias produced by that remedy, it will often be found that they bear a close resemblance to that of the patient, and it will probably prove curative and reproduce the original eruption.
It frequently happens that , when we search for the totality of the symptoms, we find they have been so perverted or suppressed by inappropriate treatment that these now present do not present a true picture of the internal diseases.
For example , take a case of gonorrhoea suppressed by Arg.Nit.. and on examination there will be found a pretty full picture of Med. and a partial one of Arg.Nit.., and probably Natr.Mur.

[In all such cases we must prescribe upon the symptoms if possible, but if the case does not respond and the suppressing drug is known, it is sometimes advisable to select a remedy competing which has an antidotal relationship.-K.]

In determining the totality, especially with regard to former symptoms in chronic diseases, it is also necessary to ascertain whether one or more miasms are present, as it is useless to attempt to find a remedy for all the symptoms when there is more than one. In such cases, as a rule, only one miasm is active at a time, and the treatment must be directed against that one. When two or more miasms form a complex we must endeavor to separate them.
[The symptoms are the only guide to the separating of the miasms. The road to death is by more complexity, and any remedy that improves the patient will cause a simplification or separation of the miasms.-K.]
