Medical News

Here's a few articles I found interesting. New research links gluten intolerance to schizophrenia. It's long been noted that autistic children often suffer from gluten intolerance. Maybe this is part of a bigger story.

The Center for Disease Control estimates 36,000 people die from influenza each year. This is without swine flu! I found this number surprisingly high. Here is a page on the CDC… Continue

Enlightenment or Madness?

There's an interesting story in the New York Times about a Western Zen Master who needed psychotherapy. It's a good account of how mental illness can masquerade as enlightenment and also an interesting homeopathic case. After reading his case I believe he would be helped by Anhalonium.

How many times has homeopathy been ridiculed for prescribing natrum muriaticum as a remedy? It seems like homeopathy is having the last laugh. Here's an excerpt from the article:

UI psychologist Kim Johnson and colleagues… Continue

Homeopathy and the Spanish Flu

ORGANON OF MEDICINE - THE TRUE GUIDE OF HOMEOPATHY

Dear Friends,

No doubt that "Organon" is one of the finest book giving us directions for the successful understanding and giving guidence to practice true homeopathy. I am sad and surprised that many practicing homeopaths do not have the deep knowledge of this book. I first studied Organon of Medicine in 1967-68 in my National Homeopathic Medical College, Lucknow-India, but got the real taste and knowledge during my tenure as a lecturer of Organon of Organon and philosophy… Continue

FLU - Why it's scary and how homeopathy can help

Flu—not to be sneezed at

Flu is scary. We are talking about an illness that could be our modern-day equivalent of the Black Plague. The SARS epidemic and the recent Avian flu scare gave us just a foretaste of the havoc a cleverly adapted virus can wreak in these days of the itty-bitty global village.

The last big epidemic

The influenza outbreak commonly called “Spanish flu” (but known in Spain as the “Naples soldier”) killed more people than all those who died in combat… Continue

The Merck Mafia

Big Pharma is like a rock and if you turn it over some ugly things slither out:

"An international drug company made a hit list of doctors who had to be "neutralised" or discredited because they criticised the anti-arthritis drug the pharmaceutical giant produced. Staff at US company Merck &Co emailed each other about the list of doctors - mainly researchers and academics - who had been negative… Continue

Beating the Odds with Homeopathy

A British man places a bet with the bookies that he'll survive three years with mesothelioma. So far the bet is paying off. What does he attribute his good health to? His Indian homeopath.

"All the mainstream doctors could prescribe for me was morphine but this healer put me on a course of herbal medicines that have not only changed but prolonged my life," he… Continue

Treasures of the Past

The Google Book Project has begun digitizing everything they can get their hands on. If the book is out of copyright, they have the complete text. This includes many old homeopathic books and journals. The trick is filtering out the treasures. Here's two links and I encourage other members of this forum to search for more. The first link is to King's History of… Continue

How To Find A Similimum Appropriate and Suitable Homeopathic Remedy

I am pleased to read dear Kavita's blog, where she explained very nicely giving some good examples. I am adding herewith some information, which may be helpful to many of my homeopathic friends.

In most of the cases, we fail because of lacking in proper case taking. I remember my teachers telling us that that homeopathy is not merely a science but an art as well, and you have to learn the techniques of proper case taking, which is basically the first task in any homeopathic… Continue

A Visit to Hahnemann's House

Julian Winston did a question and answer at the NCH Summer School several years ago. He answered a question about his visit to Hahnemann's house. He later wrote up the visit as an article in Homeopathy Today, but I thought I would share the remarks he made that day.

Q: Tell us about your trip to Hahnemann's house.

A: I spent 10 days with Dr. Gypser. He arranged for train tickets for me to visit Hahnemann's house in Koethen. Andre Saine visited it as soon as the Berlin Wall… Continue

Homeopathy Really Works

Dear Homeopaths around our planet

How To Explain Complexity of A Homeopath Role To A Client:

For each client I explain in several different ways about homeopathy and the role of a homeopath. What comes to my mind at that moment I go with it….Finally I thought let me put that in to words so that it will be easy for me to provide a copy of this to each client instead of explaining each time and if they have any questions I will answer them accordingly. Below is what I cited as an example for my clients.

“I would like to share an interesting incident of one of my relative was given… Continue
