Dear Soroush,

With regard to desire for Light and desire for Enlightenment. You say that
Desire for Light is something physical. You dont know what is going to
happen and how. This is true but it is not physical. Desire for Light is
in the Mind section. The reason someone wants the light as oppose to
enlightenment is because they are in the dark whether this be t rue dark or
metaphorical. I know this is quite a leap and I had all these arguments
myself 6 years ago and then I just decided to try it and took these
expressions of the patient as desire for Light and I got amazing results.
So it was proven to me in practice. Try it yourself and see, you can only
go on what works.

Recently I was reading the work of Dr. Ramakrishnan. Whilst
philosophically I could not see how his method could work, I was attracted
to the fact that he says he is a strictly single remedy prescriber and only
uses this method in Cancer. I decided I would try it on the next cancer
patient that came along. two weeks later I got such a case. A man with
testicular cancer with secondaries in the stomach, lung and brain. They
want to give him a very strong dose of Chemo followed by operations t o
brain lung and stomach. He listened to what I had to say about using t his
new method on him and said he would delay his Chemo. I have had him on
Conium, Carcinosin , and Pulsatilla. His tumour count to begin with was 89,
after the first week it came down to 53 third week 32 then 19 the following
week it went back up to 33 then down to 23 where it is at the moment. He
has had a MRI scan and Cat scan and the tumours are shrinking. Whether he
will be cured I dont know but it looks promising.

THe point of this is to say that sometimes you have to listen and read what
others say and try it for yourself to see if it works.

With due respect to Dr.Ramakrishnan and those who are following his method of prescribing, I would like to know if such methods can be included as part of Hahnemannian homeopathy.
Such an approach is an apologetic one and it is better if we try not to work on these lines.
No doubt when picture is not clear and no single remedy can be prescribed and when it is not possible to differentite between remedies then only something of this sort or any other approach that helps a patient should be adopted.

Dear Arun,

In my experience, there is a difference between patients with anxiety for
Health and those who need the light.

I had a patient on wednesday who I gave Arg-nit. She had terrible anxiety
about her health but not once did she say to me what do you think or that
she needs to know the answer. How she expressed this was that she worries
about her health that she is frightened of illness and getting sick (rubric
Fear of impending disease) that she also worries that she may get an
incurable disease (rubric - fear of incurable disease).
She said that she was suffering from burning in oesophagus and that she
thought it was cancer (Rubric: Delusions disease incurable). Now if she
was say Stramonium which has desire for light she would say words to the
effect of: I had this burning in my throat, I was really worried, Ididnt
know what it was so I went to the doctor to find out, I needed to know what
it was. If I was to say would you leave it she would probably say no
because she had to find out why she had burning in the oesophagus, she had
never had this before, why had it started now. So you see the feel of the
expression of the patient is different with Anxiety about Health as opposed
to Desire for Light. The Arg-nit case went to the doctor to find out what
it was not because the need to know was uppermost but because she wanted to
make sure it wasnt incurable.

Patients with Anxiety about health can ask questions but it is not with the
same need i.e. fuelled by the fear of the unknown. It is more difficult to
explain by mail but could be easily shown by case taking what are the
differences. Remember I am giving you the written word but I cannot
transmute to you the feel of the case.

Lisa

Dear Robin

I think that a prerequisite for achieving enlightenment is good health.

If you have a disease (whether, mental, emotional or physical) it will
impact on ones path to enlighten.

IMO one way to achieve health is through Homoeopathy. If you have problems
with pills, we will prescribe LMs.

Soroush surely you dont mean this.
Even people who have attained enlightenment die of something and they
its not always old age or getting run over buses.

There are parts even homeopathic remedies dont reach.
Where is David Little. He will have something useful to say about this.
Robin

Well you know what they say about buses, you wait all day for them and
then 6 turn up at once

Natural order Loganiaceae (sic)

shattered, ruined, destroyed, cannot weep, paralysed, mental paralysis,
ailments from vexation, ailments from disappointment, fear of being
injured, beside oneself and excitable, etc etc

David will provide, as always.
