New to Group: the education of a homeopath--

Tina Belgaumkar · Post by **Tina Belgaumkar** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 5:32 pm

Hi,
Just a comment only, I am a Homeopath currently practicing in Toronto
Canada, we are trained , and studied just like the M.D's , all the sciences
, then Homeopathic remedies,
I find what ever therapies we do if it helps my patinet I am happy , if they
want to//++zzzz bvvvvzq2 work with M.D's or, accupunture, Naturopathy I
leave if for the Patient, I am very open to all type of M.D's , but I only
practice Classical Homeopathy as like in Indian Universities. may be we
should keep in mind, how we can help the suffering human beings,
I found we do what ever we can & if the patient is happy with my treatment I
just try my best to help their needs.
I have lots of patients who are happy with me.

May be we should have a Globel type of Education, just like Allopathy, I
like every ones opinion.

with best regards.

Hi Tina,
Are you referring to India?

To judge by what is happening in Europe, the practice of homeopathy
will be restricted to the MD's. In quite a few countries (e.g. France
and Italy) it has been like this all the time or for a long time.
Recentl 2 more European countries have passed, resp. are in the
process of, passing laws like this. I expect that it will be "European
Law" pretty soon, which then is applicable in all countries belonging
to the European Union.

It remains to be seen whether the other countries world-wide will
follow suit. (India probably will not.)

Regards

Luise

Of course !

Even if the great majority of French MD Homoeopaths are polypharmacists,
there is still a few hahnemannian homoeopaths!

Yes, I was able to get over the counter remedies in the North of Italy near Venice. There are homeopathic pharmacies similar to health food stores there, they sell remedies but you have to ask for them and you may be asked what will you be using the remedy for. In one case they even ordered a couple of remedies for me as they did not have in stock what I needed
I hope this helps
Lucy
PS
I was also able to get constitutional remedies, but I had to justify why I wanted that remedy.

That's good to know!

I'm especially curious about this in light of the fact that, as Luise
said, other countries seem to be on the verge of following suit. In
France, then, how do the legal restrictions work? Do I understand
right that remedies above 30c are forbidden (why would that be?), or
was that a misunderstanding? Would that be true for both lay folk as
well as doctors?
Thanks!

Thanks, Lucy!
Then does the legal restriction there affect doctors more than lay
prescribers, do you know? (Certainly the situation wouldn't make it
easy for most people to learn about homeopathy, I 'd think.)

all of this is getting systematically worsened by the advent of the Codex
Alimentarius legislation.
to remind people: one of the stated goals of the Codex is to 'harmonize'
all health care world wide!

I am not sure how the situation is in Italy, I was there on holiday. But I understand that homeopathy is taught as part of medical school, I think it is even one of their post graduated courses.
However, lay people were using homeopathic remedies as "normal" drugs - which is also a big dangerous. Ledum was used most successfully for insect bites, they had some new species of mosquito that the usual insect repellent, but Ledum worked beautifully on the bites.

I move - or used to move - quite a lot, so I am familiar with the
situation in at least some of the EU countries. And yes, MDs have it
much harder than "lay" people. In France, for example, their
homoeopathic practice is (or used to be - correct me if I am wrong)
very restricted; they can use homoeopathic remedies for a very reduced
number of medical conditions.

There are a few countries where an MD must return his/her allopathic
license if he/she chooses to open a homoeopathic practice. (They are
not stripped of the MD title - but as long as they practice
homoeopathy they cannot practice allopathic medicine.)

I am not an MD and I order my homoeopathic remedies from Helios,
Ainsworths' etc. with no problems whatsoever. So I am assuming that
any person - including MDs - can do the same. The difference is, they
cannot use them on their patients (certainly not openly, i.e. legally).

My own "practice" is very much restricted - I earn my living
practicing a profession that has nothing to do with health - and I
don't charge my "patients".

Frankly, the future of homoeopathy as a widely used treatment doesn't
seem too bright in the EU. Which is why I hope that things stay the
way they are. Seeing the general mindset of EU bureaucracy - not to
mention the pharmaceutical lobby - I suspect that any radical changes
in the according legislation would only be for the worse.
All the best,

A.
