Minutus

Here is Dr Gavini Murthy’s initial comment on my book. The link is http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/229310/3
“Well. I have the book now. It turned out to be much more complex than I expected.

I normally scan through any new book here and there at random and try to get a gist of the core around which the author moves about.

As usual I got the gist quickly and quote it verbatim.

**********

"Rather, the medicine should be administered with all the medicines required, whether two, three or more are mixed together, so that a dynamic mix of homeopathic material energies is produced, as a patient is also a dynamic mix of energies."

*******

Welcome to the modern Dr.Aegidi.

Had it been two / three years back, I would have stopped reading the book when I knew what it was about. Not any more.

I intend to read the book thoroughly and start a lively discussion.

I won't wait till I read the book completely, but will share my thoughts as and when they arise.

Let me assure Varun that my comments won't be hasty. They will provoke more discussion.

Murthy”
It’s really a very good feeling when senior docs talk about your book in such a composed way.........

I also appeal to all the docs to see Dr Julius Aegidi’s profile on the link http://www.homeoint.org/seror/biograph/aegidi.htm

back when he realized (and rightly so) that many people would not bother
to understand the basis for choosing (and giving together) the two
remedies, and would use it as a license to open homeopathy to complete
polypharmacy.

There's a fundamental problem, though, in the polypharmacy thing when it comes to homoeopathy, and, although there shouldn't be any prizes for guessing what it is, somehow it's easily overlooked. It's that homoeopathy is centrally, inescapably based on application of sure knowledge of pathogenesis to the case at hand -- something inherently impossible with arbitrary mixtures such as that of Lachesis and Lycopodium (whether crude, in low potency, or in high potency). That, rather than politics, is the deciding factor in determining that a medicine of certainty is a medicine of single substances and not of polypharmaceutical prescriptions. A polypharmaceutical prescription, which inherently has no relationship to the patient's symptoms, is by definition allopathic; it can never also be homoeopathic, since the "medicine" prescribed has no stable pathogenesis.

Cheers!

It is hard enough finding one medicine for the patient. How in God's
name can you find 2, 3, 4 medicines and call all of them indicated.

A thought can easily be given to the fact that a 428 page book cannot be just about saying Aegidi's concept, Aegidi's concept, Aegidi's concept millions of times again and again. It would surely even tell you many ways to find more than one indicated remedy.
What is required is just an open mind to new discoveries than shelve the idea out of known things and more so coz of prejudices.
I’ve even told in my previous mail that Varun’s Theory is not re-echoing if Aegidi’s concept rather an original theory which derives Aegidi’s principle naturally as one of the things in it, apart from many many many many more new discoveries.
(This I really believe is a reply to a discussion, wherein there are surely differences of opinion, but it’s not that here I’m providing any unwarranted talk about my book just for the sake of doing it.)

Dear Varun
I know you are excited about your book.

But please leave people to make a final comment about it before sending loads of email.
Those who were interested have already got themselves a copy!
Best wishes

You are surely right! what will be the difference between homeopathy and allopathy then?......

John, why would you make a statement like this: " A polypharmaceutical prescription, which inherently has no relationship to the patient's symptoms..." If, as I believe is most commonly done in polypharmacy, each remedy is chosen on basis of a *partial* picture ("covers" part of the patient's symptom picture), then it certainly does have "relationship to the patient's symptoms"; it just doesn't have the deep and broad relationship that we look for in single remedy prescribing. I am not trying to defend polypharmacy, but don't think it helps if you further confuse the issue in this way.

John,
Have you never heard of synergistic effect?
'Polypharmacy' does that.
I have never had faster results in acute problems than with
'polypharmacy'. Absolutely magical! Have brought about cures
within minutes - and that's no exaggeration.
If you have not tried 'polypharmacy' you have no right to make a
criticism.
With animals and pets it is an absolute must.
Think about it - there is no other way!
Jeff

Jeff, the question at issue here isn't whether polypharmacy or any other brand of allopathy works better than homoeopathy; only whether it is homoeopathy.

Jeff and Shannon both, homoeopathy is not about "covering" symptoms. Once you realise that it requires the ability to mimic the patient's symptoms, you'll realise that polypharmacy just can't do it. I hope you will, anyway.

John
