Applied Homeopathy Workshop for Foreign Delegates - Dr. Praful Barvalia
Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2006 11:56 am
Dear List,
this workshop is highly recommended for those who wish to seriously
advance their homeopathic capability in handling serious cases like
Pancreatitis, Tuberculosis, AIDS, renal failure, glomerolunepthritis,
and even cardiac emmergencies, etc, as well other cases like Autism,
Learning disorders, etc.
The principles of management essentially remain the same, but the
approach differs based on the pace of disease and changing symptom
picture.
I encourage especially with a basic homeopathic background and some
paramedical expereince to take advantage of this opportunity to reach
the higher heights that homeoapthic treatment can acheive.
I had reccomened dr. Praful BArvalia's group in Feb this year for the
programme in MArch. This time, I thought people needed to know much
earlier in order to make preparations
Warm regards,
dr. leela

WORKSHOP JAN:2007
OBJECTIVES:
Objectives of the course can be broadly divided into following categories.
Building up sound conceptual matrix with advance knowledge base.
Acquiring skills & fineness required for efficient homeopathic practice.
Building up humane aspects in Homeopathic physician.
Evolving required competencies in the physician to deal with the basic
demands of homeopathic practice.
Cultivating aptitude for advance learning, homeopathic research,
fellowship, academics & teaching.
UNITS: (Conceptual)
Clinical Module
Disease Classification Module
Case Anamnesis Module
Materia Medica Module
Orientation to conceptualization.
UNITS: (FUNCTIONAL)
1. Case Receiving:
Student will get an opportunity to have direct interactions with the
patient.
Homeopathic case taking demands emotional, educational & spiritual
preparation of the interviewer. Finer analysis of case taking brings
out conceptual base of patient as well as physician on which they are
talking. As Hahnemann rightly mentions in aphorism 6 – Unprejudiced
observer can alone perceive the right totality. Systematic handling of
the interview can facilitate physician's journey towards discovery of
his own prejudices.
Understanding of inadequacies of case taking will highlight
physician's strength & weaknesses of his specific & general knowledge.
Clinical exposure to Acute & chronic case follow ups. Candidate will
have ample opportunity to see various acute cases like infective
illness, respiratory, gastrointestinal etc. There will be interactive
session to learn approach to acute disease.
2. Clinical module will focus on importance of clinical diagnosis &
homeopathic prescribing.
How to evolve clinical reasoning through:
· Comprehensive evolutionary study of complaints
· Physical examination
· Investigations- Pathological, Radiological, of scan, MRI etc.
3. Perceiving totality through various approaches:
a) Qualified symptoms-PQRS, key note prescribing
b) Perceiving characteristic state of disposition aphorism 211.How to
translate it in the language of Materia Medica & repertory
c) Revising & reflecting Master's teachings- Kent, Bonneinghaussen,
Boger, Clarke, Phatak etc.
4.Perceiving mind-
a) Breaking myths & misconceptions to perceive the essential mind.
b) Abstractions v/s hard factual characteristics, their differential
evaluation & implications to perceive the qualified aspect of the mind.
c) Utilizing scientific tools to perceive the depth of mind-
systematic study of concept of Psychodynamic, psychosomatics etc.
d) Dreams- the mirror of the mind. Scientific interpretation of the
dreams.
Objectives would be to perceive holistic integrated understanding of
the mind.
5. The Chronic Miasms- Concept & applications
Homeopathic education needs to achieve an integration of the
Hahnemannian principles with the modern medical knowledges. There will
be sound clinico-immuno pathological correlations with the theory of
chronic miasms.
Illustrative cases will demonstrate applications of concepts in practice.
6. Materia Medica
Differential World of Materia Medica:
Kent has rightly mentioned that there is no royal road to the study of
materia medica. Effective materia medica helpful at bedside can evolve
by skillful and artistic use of the repertory and finally to
critically analyzed clinical experiences.
The great master, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the scientist & the artist,
directed homoeopathic physician to pay attention to deviations from
the former healthy state of the now diseased individual & recognize
the `true and only conceivable portrait of the disease (Aph.6); Artist
sensitively receives impressions of the subject and projects this
experience on the canvas. Portrait, thus becomes task demanding
sensitivity, authenticity and integrity of the artist along with
mastery over skills and methods and techniques he employs to give
expression to his perceptions. In contrast to an artist, portrait
drawn by a Homoeopathic physician is quite dynamic. It needs to
incorporate on going clinical experiences of patients which may demand
continuous modifications. In order to ensure fineness and depth of
portrait it is important that it has multiple facets and evolutionary
perspective. This is possible provided physician has sound conceptual
base to analyze & synthesize clinical experiences integrating
psychosomatic, clinic pathological aspects.
What is available to the physician is the behavior and narration of
the individual. Physician has to go beyond these gestures and words in
order to unearth the underlying state of feelings and thoughts. Then
only he can make deep inroad towards the core of the person. This
facilitates his travel towards perceiving the characteristic state of
disposition as mentioned in aphorism 211.
Comprehensive study of life experiences of the individual,
psychodynamic analysis of these experiences and available qualified
features permit us to perceive this state. Every trait has sensory as
well as motor components. A particular trait evolves with other
co-ordinates. All together, build up the state. When we study this
from the perspective of repertory, materia medica and clinical
dimension, we can build up the portrait.
To understand this approach we have taken up REJECTION (forsaken
feeling) as one of the themes.
We will discuss in details through ILLUSTRATIVE CASE MATERIALS<
differential diagnosis of various remedies with the central theme of
REJECTION
Following drugs will be taken up:
1. MAGNESIUM GROUP 4. NAJA
2. HURA BRAZILIENS 5. PLATINA
3. LACHESIS 6. PULSATILLA
During workshop, through various clinical cases there will be
discussion of differential world of Materia Medica. Attempt will be
made to evolve the portrait with finer shades.
Similarly themes like `conscience', `Ego' will also be touched upon.
7.Susceptibility & Posology:
We need to utilize our integrated understanding of disease phenomena,
active Miasms & totality to judge precisely the state of
susceptibility. Spandan has evolved multidimensional model to judge
the state of susceptibility based on appreciation of reactivity,
immunity/ morbidity, sensitivity & vitality.
Each case will be studied to grasp all aspects of susceptibility
There is lot of confusion about posology in Homoeopathic profession.
Quite often we see contradictory diverse views. After painstaking
efforts, Homoeopathic physician finds out the correct drug for the
patient. If his selection of the potency and repetition and subsequent
appreciation of remedy response are not proper, he fails to manage the
case.
Dr. Barvalia has evolved an integrated scientific model to judge
accurately the state of susceptibility. Following are its vital components
1. Immunity
2. Reactivity
3. Vitality and
4. Sensitivity
They are evaluated in the backdrop of miasms, suppressions and living.
This ANALYTICAL – SYNTHETIC APPROACH helps us to perceive
susceptibility, scientifically evaluate responses and thus management
of difficult complex cases.
All these concepts will be discussed through illustrative case
materials of Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Hyperthyroidism, Acid peptic
disease, as well as clinical experiences which delegates have
encountered during the workshop.
Hahnemann championed "medicine of experience" as against that of
`opinions'.
Focus is on authentic, integrated experiences. This permits proper
conceptualization and evolves reason.
8. Acute Prescribing:
Hahnemann's classification of disease provides us valuable insights to
perceive intristic nature of the disease.
Acute and chronic diseases are two phases of the continuous spectrum
of the impaired state of susceptibility.
Both are closely interrelated with each other and should not be
considered in isolation.
Practice demand precise delineation of acute disorder, its
philosophical dimension and its relationship with chronic
constitutional totality. This permits us efficient management of acute
phase of the illness.
Course will focus on following aspects of acute disorders.
Acute disorders – Concepts, classification & management:
i) Acute exacerbation
ii) Acute periodical expression
iii) Acute Emergency
iv) Acute disease
v) Acute state
vi) Relationship between `acute episode' & chronic disease
vii) Exploring acute disorder from the standpoint of susceptibility
and miasm
viii) Therapeutics of acute disorder
9. Repertory:
Repertory is an instrument par excellence which establishes bridge
between artificial drug disease and natural disease.
In order to use it efficiency in practice, we should grasp its
philosophy, construction method and technique of utility.
Course will explore application of various repertories in practice.
Focus will be scientific and correct use of the Repertory.
10.Management:
Holistic approach will demand to total care of all the aspects of the
case; its exciting as well as maintaining causes. For this wherever
necessary, Psychotherapy, physiotherapy, ancillary measures, diet &
regimen instructions are quite important.
11.Orientation to advanced projects & research methodology:
This module will give an orientation to the learner about case
conceptualization.
Physician utilizes his knowledges / experiences for the various
clinical action he releases. His capacity to abstract, integrate and
logically correlate from various dimensions of the clinical
situations. Through analysis of clinical experiences of case
management, sharing them in the group and evaluation from seniors help
this process.
Since foundation has evolved multidisciplinary holistic
superspeciality projects in various fields viz. developmental
disability, mental health, thyroid, tuberculosis, psoriasis, HIV/AIDS
etc. it is possible to provide forum for advance learning. Student's
exposure in this area helps to develop this faculty and orients him
well towards case conceptualization. This helps to cultivate aptitude
towards research. Fellowship would enhance this gain.
1) CLASSICAL HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH TOWARDS COMPLEX CHILDHOOD DISORDERS
Spandan Holistic Child Care Centre has been working through holistic
multidisciplinary approach in the field of child care. Quality
research is an integral component of the functioning of the institute.
Cases are treated exclusively by homoeopathy, but through standard
protocol and evaluated through competent experts like clinical
psychologist, neurologist, special educators etc.
300 cases of Autism, ADHD, & learning disorders etc. have been
homeopathically managed over last 7 years. Several scientific papers
have been presented in national and international seminars.
Students will witness actual case management. They will get
opportunity to interact with all experts managing these cases. There
will be video presentation of various documental cases with extensive
follow up. Case concepts which allowed successful management of these
cases would be discussed in details by Dr. Barvalia. He has evolved a
conceptual model, extremely helpful in practice to grasp the dynamic
portrait of the child.
These children are receiving holistic multidisciplinary care. This is
vital exposure, which gives good insight into the management concepts
of these complex disorders & also gives fair idea about role of
Homeopathy in these disorders.
