That's the course that I am doing in Newcastle. 2 weekends left to go. I am enjoying it although it is therapeutics rather than constitutional based.

A POST GRADUATE COURSE IN HOMEOPATHY

[Tanya Marquette]

that is not surprising considering his approach to cancer
does he create an intersection btw the 2 approaches?
how does he respond to questions about a constitutional
approach? do people ask him these types of questions?
is he open to them?

I've taken the course in Boulder and Phoenix, and found it very informative and helpful. He does take a therapeutic approach rather than a constitutional one, but that is very valuable information to have when faced with a patient who presents with a serious one-sided disease, where constitutional symptoms are masked and suppressed. If one starts by focusing on the disease, then the constitutional picture begins to emerge as the patient heals from the one-sided presenting disease.

There's no point in taking the course and trying to convert the teacher to a different viewpoint. Dr. Ramakrishnan is fully aware of classical principles, and uses them subtly and skillfully. What he's presenting in this series is a synopsis of his broad experience in treating specifically diagnosed, generally one-sided conditions -- advanced pathology.

When he does his cancer approach sometimes the remedy does reflect the constitution alternated with Carc or Scirr. When he takes a case - on the Sunday afternoon patients are brought in he does look for a constitutional remedy but we have noted that he has his favourites one of which is Sanicula. He is very open to questions and is an extremely good lecturer and appears to be a very nice person. He does not offer to cure all but will say when he has good results and when he doesn't.

Rosemary, your comments remind me of Eizayaga's conclusion, that advanced
pathology is often better treated in this way -- focusing on the disease, or
what he called the "lesional layer".

Over the years I've heard people arguing convincingly for the good results
of "treating the patient" (prescribe on basis of symptoms which are *not*
common to the disease), and others argue convincingly for the results of
"treat the disease". It would make a lot of sense to me that some cases are
better approached one way, and others, the other, and for other cases,
either approach will lead to the same result (e.g., in some cases the
indicated remedy of the "lesional" layer is the same as the indicated remedy
for the "constitutional" and/or other layer).

Just musing...

Hi, Shannon. I like your "musing." I think you're describing exactly how Dr. Ramakrishnan describes his prescribing for the patients in his book -- some were organ specific, some were constitutional -- but since the cancer took precedence, the constitutional prescriptions were also important remedies for the kind of cancer the patient had.

Dear Rosemary and Shannon,
Yes - just to clarify this issue, Ramakrishnan tends only to use the
constitutional when it is also an organ specific (e.g. Puls). The
constitutional then follows on from the cancer remedies, once the cancer is
contained or cured, to boost the body's self-healing power. This is to my
mind the proper role of a constitutional remedy, not to attempt to cure but
rather to support.

Warm regards,
George A. Kaplan
