The View for Successful Prescribing

[ANITA SALUNKHE]

The View for Successful Prescribing

It is common difficulties for the beginners and practitioners that what
should be given importance to while taking a case. There are different
homeopaths with different approach.
Example:
Some 1) View a case from its pathology
2) Consideration of the mind only, details of the person
3) The physicals of the person
4) Characteristics/ PQPS in a case

Again it is observed that the totality contains an alternating image, or one
set of symptoms at one time and a different set another time. The
prescriber's view may be formed from one group today and from another after
the change has come, which leads to change of remedy with every shift, but
at the end of the year the patient has grown steadily worse. Yet he has
cured (?) each group of symptoms of his patient satisfactorily.

Every homeopath or school talks of a) how well to take a case b) How to
analyze c) what to prescribe?
Very few talk about the process of cure; few are concerned with the
follow-up, analysis of the case. If everyone with different approach talks
about cure, then what is cure?? Who of them are right or wrong homeopath?
How will you judge the cure?

up is again great difficulties. It is rightly said," Eyes do not see, until
mind perceives". If a person visits a painting exhibition and if he is
unaware of what is to be seen in painting, he will not understand the beauty
or mistake of that painting.

mistake of careless prescribing, know the right direction of cure and be
sure that he has given right or wrong remedy.

and so days. It is sometimes seen that one waits even for 3-5 months to get
desired effect. And then it is claimed," Homeopathy is slow acting". Is it
true ?? How can this be possible? Our body is dynamic, our remedy has
dynamic action. Only one dose of stimulus is enough to produce some action
in the body. It is reaction of the vital force against the rightly chosen
remedy the cure take place. If a right homeopathic stimulus is given it
works in few minutes.

Hering's Law of Cure.

B) Hering's law of Cure:-
incurable cases where irreversible pathological changes have taken place.
Even in such cases compensatory cure can be established.
Example: If a patient is under the treatment of cancer and he gets diabetes,
its no problem? Let him leave with diabetes that is his compensatory cure.

Law of Cure. It is guiding point to understand the prognosis of patient in
disease as well as cure.

The development of Embryo, growth and maintenance of human being corresponds
to the corollaries of this law of cure. Dr. P. Vijaykar in his Book, "Theory
of Suppression" has explained it beautifully.
inspite of no microscope or knowledge of Embryology in depth he formulated
this Law which is base or foundation of Homoeopathy.

C) Chart of Suppression:-
Very few homeopaths are aware that homeopathic medicines can also lead to
dangerous suppression?
It is rightly said, " All that glitters is not gold, all symptoms that
disappear are not cured'.
Every one knows the Universal law of Thermodynamics. i.e. law of nature
" Energy can not be created or destroyed, it has to be transformed from one
form to another".

Universe is a bundle of Energy and we are part of it. This Law is even
applicable to disease, energy and functioning of human body. Disease doesn't
disappear. It is produced in body because of disturbance in this energy. How
can it disappear? It has to be transformed. Disturbing energy or force has
to be seen in some form i.e. More important organs to less important organs
and from center to periphery in the process of cure.
On the basis of Hering's Law of Cure Dr. Vijaykar has formed this seven
layer chart of suppression. This chart can then be used productively like a
compass to gauge the direction of Law of Cure. This chart will help us to
understand what path diseases take in the organs and systems in the
mathematical progress of diseases. It can predict what is going to happen
after right or wrong homeopathic stimulus.
It is important to remember that a real sense of well being is always
accompanied by disappearance of physical symptoms in the right order. It is
one of the best means of ascertaining whether a homeopathic prescription is
curative or suppressive. It will give definite guideline as to which is the
most important organs and which is less important organ.
If patient is taking treatment for acidity, and he gets Urinary Tract
infection or Backache? If he is under treatment of Asthma, he gets
Psoriasis? Whether it is right or wrong?? Is it suppression or cure ??

To achieve gentle cure it is important to give right constitutional
similimum. How to arrive at this? This can be only achieved if we understand
the human being. We as a homeopath doctor are dealing with the most valuable
possession of human being i.e. Life. We have no right to play with it on the
basis of speculation and theories. Homeopath as is wrongly believed is not
just a symptom reliever. He treats," Man in diseases and not disease in
men". He is more like a consultant than a general practitioner treating cold
is, cough and acidity.

If we are treating Man as a whole we have to understand the internal
mechanism of man. It is necessary to understand
How he is developed? ----------------- Embryology
How he functions? ------------------------ Physiology
What happens in disease? ---------------- Pathology
What happens in cure? ------------------- Immunology
How he is different from others? ------- Genetics

Proper understanding and knowledge of all these sciences can help us to know
human being and treat him with any kind of diseases even if it is Diabetes,
Cancer, Thyroid, Parkinson's etc.

Now the science has advanced so much that we are fortunate to understand
every mechanism of man. 200 years back Dr. Hahnemann said in his book of
"The Chronic Diseases" preface to volume 4th that , " We have no means of
reaching with our senses or of gaining essential knowledge as to the process
of life in the interior of man ……."
" Therefore we have to draw speculative conclusions ……… as to the manner in
which it may have occurred or taken place, that we are unable to furnish
conclusive proof of our explanations …….. " Dr. Hahnemann confessed that he
was helpless because of the absence of the advanced " human related" medical
sciences such as genetics, embryology, immunology etc.
In fact, we are fortunate enough to have the knowledge of these sciences to
help us to reach in the interior of man for treating Man. These sciences are
foundation, direction for analyzing progression of cases.

There is a fathomless chasm existing between homeopathic principles and
science. Knowledge of these sciences will give us a strong foundation to
remove Homeopathy from the age-old confinement of being a blind symptom
based science or a mystic science and introduce it to the world as a
post-modern scientific science. With this we can put forth before the
homeopathic world a concrete way of practicing Homeopathy which if properly
understood will reduce to a great extent the element of uncertainty and low
success rate prevailing for centuries in Homeopathic practice.

Importance of Human Sciences in Homeopathic practice -
1) Knowledge of Embryology helps us to understand the importance of Hering's
Law of Cure
2) Knowledge of Physiology will make us understand why weakness after
Homeopathic remedy is a bad sign?? Why we abandon ointments, eye drops,
strong deodorant etc. Why the symptoms aggravate during moon phases? Do we
have to repeat or not?
Applied Physiology helps us to understand the importance of
Thermals, Generals like Thirst, Perspiration etc. in assessing the
constitution. Knowledge of Physiology will give an insight to treat Mental
disorders or failure to treat a case when based on only Emotional
prescription.
3) Knowledge of Immunology - As you all know, immunity in our body is due to
protein balance. So definitely any impairment in protein balance will
decrease an immunity which further leads to disease. So what are these
factors?
4) Knowledge of Genetics. As you all know, it is genes which are
responsible for our physical makeup, mental makeup and general makeup.
Knowledge of this will help us to understand Genetic Constitutional
Similimum. How every individual is different from others. Hahnemann said it
is individualization which is a base of Homeopathic prescription.

Dr. P. Vijaykar in his book " Theory of Suppression" Part I - explained in
details the importance of this science in homeopathic practice. Reading this
book will lessen the uncertainty prevailing in prescribing and follow-ups
and thus increase the scope of homeopath from cough and colds to treatment
of cancers. Our predictive school of homeopathy hope to rectify all that is
wrong in the homeopathic clan by bridging the gap between homeopathic
principle and modern science.
