Practical homoeopathy
THE SYMPTOM-COVERER Versus
THE HOMOEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN
When we come to the practical aspects, it is the intelligence of the practitioner that counts more than anything else. Most homoeopaths end up as symptom-coverer as the following case illustration would show:
Case: Letter from Dr. X., M.D.(Radiologist), 33 years, is given below.
“Respected sir, This is Dr. .. These are the following things all my complaints.
1. Loss of libido (lack of sexual desire). Since l year, my U.T.A. and stricture problem started. My sexual life very limited. Now we are trying for kids. But I am not much active sexual life. Please do the needful.
2. Three months ago suffered with severe cough. That I had pneumonia patch in right midzone (of lung). No cough subsided but on an off pain is coming right posterior chest wall where pneumonia patch was there previously.
3. Hypertension. My blood pressure sometime touching 150/100.If I take twice (BP tablet) daily dose. Then it will be controlled.
4. Overweight. I observed I am putting more weight. My food intake also seems increased. I am fond of sweets and junk food. My present weight is 118 kg. Please do the needful.”
Let us know how to work out this case. We are going to learn something new and unique out of this case. Every case is, of course, unique. There is difference between a symptom-coverer and a true homoeopathic physician. Any average practitioner would work out this case on the following symptoms:
Impotency
Hypertension
Obesity
What the patient tells is just and mere cotton. No one can wear cotton as such. We have to make thread out of cotton, then weave cloth with the thread; and stitch a shirt out of that cloth. Now only it is ready for wearing. So also, out of the symptoms told by the patient we have to conceive and derive many things. In the above case, the practitioner must work out the case as under:
The age of the patient is 33.
Point No. 1: He has (a) impotency, and (b) hypertension. These two symptoms, put together, should be viewed from a different angle. These two normally appears in old age, i.e. above sixty years of age. But we find this in a person of 33 years. Therefore, the term pre-senility should at once come to our mind.
Point No. 2: He is already an allopathic doctor and the medicines he had taken fail to bring down the blood pressure. Therefore, the term ‘lack of reaction’ should also come to our mind.
The above two symptoms are ‘general symptoms.’ Wherever possible we must always work out cases on ‘general symptoms.’ Craving for sweets, increased intake of food are secondary.
SAMUEL LILIENTHAL’S HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS: Constitution, Age…(page 233-234)
–For old people—aged persons get very fleshy: Kali carb., Aur-met., Op., Sec., Amm-carb., Fluor-ac. [We take this because, though the patient is just 33 years old, he has pre-senility.]
These six remedies were studied in Boericke’s Mat. Med. Only the first para or preamble under various remedies are useful for confirming one out of the several remedies selected through the repertory:
The remedy Ammonium carb. was selected because of the following words found under that in Boericke’ Mat. Med.
The diseased conditions met by this remedy are such as we find often in rather stout . . . have a slow reaction generally, . . . Mucous membranes of the respiratory organs are especially affected. Fat patients with weak heart . . .
HOW TO CONFIRM A REMEDY WITH BOERICKE. If the remedy selected by you is correct—the similimum, then the symptom appears in the first sentence of that remedy in Boericke. Or, if the symptom appears in the subsequent sentences, it is either given in italics; or, it is preceded by an adjective or followed by an adverb.
Again, let us read Ammon-carb. in the MAT. MED. OF MIND SYMPTOMS on page 554; and there we find the following to further confirm our selection:
…makes frequent mistakes in speaking and writing; …gloomy, depressed…[If the reader carefully reads the letter of the patient, he can notice the glaring grammatical mistakes made by the patient. For this reason alone we have reproduced his letter in verbatim without correcting the spelling and other mistakes.]
Amm-carb.10M, one single dose and placebo. Patient shows much progress and is under treatment.
One has to decide whether he would remain as a mere symptom-coverer in his lifetime or he would like to be a Homoeopathic Physician.
Case: Letter from patient (Mrs. V. 30 years)
“I am under your treatment for persistent urinary tract infection problem. Before starting my treatment with you and before my most recent episode of urinary tract infection, I used to feel a kind of burning sensation/mild spasm every time my bladder filled up or when I had to urge to pass urine. This problem is considerably reduced now, but I still experience it sometimes. Also, earlier I used to feel burning sensation when I start passing urine and also towards the end. Now, I notice that the burning sensation at the end has reduced. But sometimes, I experience a sharp pain in my abdomen or lower back which goes away on its own after some 10-20 seconds.
“I got my monthly periods from 24th Sept. to 27th Sep. and even though the medicines have helped in controlling my problem, I felt that for some 3-4 days after my periods, the symptoms were aggravated.
“Kindly advise further medicines. Thanking you.”
__________
This case is very easy. No need to work with repertories. This case should at once bring to our mind the following:
“Rapid change of symptoms—pain change in regard to place and character…Hepatic, and rheumatic affections, particularly with urinary, haemorrhoidal and menstrual complaints.”
The above symptoms are in the first para under the remedy Berberis vulgaris, in Boericke’s Mat. Medica. Berberis vul.10M , one single dose cured the patient.
How to make Homoeopathy More popular and Acceptable?
Of late, there has been repeated hue and cry from homoeopaths against governments and others for not giving due recognition to homoeopathy. The remedy lies not outside but inside—among us homoeopaths. If we improve the quality of our practice, government and others (including allopaths) would automatically come forward not only to recognise but also admire us. This work is an attempt to this end.
The following are from Kent’s LESSER WRITINGS:
“It is very rarely the case that among the provings of our remedies not one is to be found which corresponds to the characteristic features of a case” [I have to mention this because provings of new remedies are being published in journals as if we lack remedies in the existing materia medicas.]
“Homoeopathy is slow to win its way because of defective use of books as well as because of defective books.”
The following books are the most useful reference books in day-to-day practice and they are without defects:
1. Samuel Lilienthal’s HOMOEOPATHIC
THERAPEUTICS (Hereinafter called ‘Lilienthal’)
2. FINAL REPERTORY OF 'MIND' SYMPTOMS AND 'GENERAL' SYMPTOMS by compiled by Dr. V. Krishnaamurthy
3. J. T. Kent’s Repertory
4. WILKINSON’S MATERIA MEDICA [compiled from the 10-volume Hering’s Guiding Symptoms of our Materia Medica]
5. Boericke’s MATERIA MEDICA

Scope and Limitations of
homoeo softwares?
Most of those using software are under the illusion that once the homoeo software is installed, they can be damn sure of selecting the remedy for their patients. To remove this delusion the following is being written.
The practitioner searches in the software for ‘diabetes’ and he gets some results. But, at the same time, he would be missing many remedies for diabetes. This is because in some places of materia medicas for ‘diabetes’ the terms ‘glycosuria’ or ‘sugar in urine’ is used. Also the word saccharine is used. (See Boericke’s Mat. Med., Lactic Acid.—Urine)
Before programming the materia medica the programmer must have either change the word ‘glycosuria’ to ‘diabetes’ or give ‘diabetes’ within brackets after all the words ‘glycosuria.’ Alas! The present day homoeo softwares have been designed by those with kindergarten knowledge of homoeopathy.
Because of either ignorance or arrogance the homoeo software programmers are not listening to these observations.
Again a doctor may search for ‘liver’ but in many places we find equivalent terms ‘hepatic affections’ ‘bilious’ etc. being used for liver affections and the list goes on.
Therefore, the alternative terms must also be included in the materia medicas such as the following terms:
(a) old age, aged persons
(b) glycosuria, diabetes, diabetes mellitus
(c) kidney, renal, nephritis, and so on and so forth.
Also, certain syndrome (group of symptoms) cannot be classified under any rubric in the repertory or software and so a homoeopath must necessarily learn by rote such symptoms! Example case 39 to 41 given on page 548-549.
Some of the most useful uncommon physical symptoms cannot be classified under any head in the repertory or homoeo software and so it is better to learn them by rote.
Under the remedy Ignatia (in Boericke Mat. Med.) we find the words “great contradictions.” A haemorrhoid patient said at the end of the consultation. [Remember, in most cases, after the narration is over and after a pause, the patient leans forward towards you and with wide open eyes exclaims and this is the time he is going to throw out an ‘uncommon symptom.’] “Doctor… one thing. Everyone says that pain, bleeding etc. in piles would increase while straining when constipated; but my case is different. I do not get pain or bleeding whenever I strain during constipation. But during loose bowel movement I get both burning and bleeding.”
Ignatia-10M, one single dose cured him.
wHITHER hOMOEOPATHY?
Could Nirbhaya of Delhi have been saved with homoeopathic medicines?
What is the remedy that would have cured Nirbhaya of Delhi, in one single dose? A practitioner ought to keep these remedies in his fingertip!
Dr. Hahnemann, in his own time, had remarked, “Many of my followers, I am sorry to say, are but half converts.” That holds good even today. The seminars, articles in journals, so-called research papers, etc. are nothing but mockery of not only homoeopathy but also of homoeopaths.
The reader need not say that any remedy prescribed on ‘totality-of-symptoms’ would have cured the gang rape victim Nirbhaya who died of septicaemia. That is a vague statement.
In emergencies nature speaks plainly. The more danger to life, the clearer the symptoms speak and quicker our remedy acts.
Treatment for Nirbhaya: One single dose of the remedy Crotalus horridus (be it in 200th or 1000th or 10m potency) would have saved Nirbhaya. What is the case and why Crotalus Horridus for that?
Septicaemia caused by trauma with haemorrhage.
Malignant diseases with blood degeneration are magically cured with one single dose of the remedy Crotalus horridus - 10M. What are those diseases of blood which threaten the life of the patient? They are:
(a) septicaemia caused by trauma with bleeding
(b) uncomplicated cases of blood cancer
(c) haemophilia
(d) jaundice after blood transfusion
(e) infective hepatitis
(f) hepatitis B virus
‘Septicaemia’ is a ‘general’ symptom. ‘Traumatic haemorrhage’ is another general symptom. A general symptom occurring as a concomitant or modality to another general symptom is like the apex court judgment. Crotalus horridus is the only remedy for this. On page 912 of one of the high-definition reference works, Homoeopathic Therapeutics by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal, we find the following:
Pyaemia, septicaemia: Acon., Arn., Ars., Calend., Canth., Carbol. ac., Chin.arom., Chinin. mur. or sulph., Crotal., Lach., Nit. ac., Rhus, Veratr.vir., Zinc.
—for the haemorrhages: Crotal., Ergot., Kreos., Nitr. ac., Mur.ac., Fer-mur., Tarent-c., Tereb.
—for the adynamia: Mosch., Camph., Carb. v., Crotal., Lach., Phos., Sil., Veratr. alb., Veratr. vir., Sulph.
Crotalus horridus alone is common to the above three rubrics. Does any homoeopath want a better justification for the necessity of Lilienthal’s work?
During the South Delhi Homoeo Association Conference conducted at New Delhi during September 14-15, 2013, I asked an audience of about one hundred and fifty homoeopaths to raise the hands if they have a copy of the homoeo reference book The Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual by Dr. W. A. Yingling and/or Homoeopathic Therapeutics by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal. To my shock, only half-a-dozen homoeopaths raised their hands. Most of the homoeopaths have never referred to these two books.
Is homoeopathy to be practised out of sheer whims and fancies or is it an exact and accurate science?
We have cured three similar cases of septicaemia; one case was that of a boy attacked with knives; the other two were victims of road accidents; all were bleeding and also developed septicaemia before being admitted to the hospital several hours later. In these three serious cases allopathic doctors gave up hope. We cured all these cases with one single dose of Crotalus-hor., much to the astonishment of allopaths. That is why we are now able to write boldly that the gang rape ‘victim’ Nirbhaya too could have been saved with one single dose of this remedy.
The anxious practitioner may ask why the high potency? Of course, Dr. Hahnemann did not use above the 30th potency. Does it mean that higher potencies are of no use? The answer, again, is given by Dr. W. A. Yingling: “With the high potencies . . . frequent repetitions are unnecessary . . .” [See The Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual, Preface and Introduction.]
Lilienthal’s work is an outstanding and laborious effort. He is a pioneer in the field of homeopathic therapeutics. It is a complete work and an easy reference book listing various disorders alphabetically with remedy reference. This therapeutic manual offers a wide array of ailments and clinical conditions with thorough and reliable remedy differentiation. This magnificent treatise will serve as an invaluable guide to effective remedy application by comparing the characteristics of each remedy given under every pathological condition. This book will enable students and practitioners to enhance their art of prescription. No author has excelled Lilienthal, excepting, of course, Dr. Yingling.
The first and last disqualification for any homoeopath is not making use of Lilienthal in his day to day practice!
Certain remedies cannot be found through repertorisation and, therefore, we learn the symptom of such remedies by rote. Let us now learn about two such remedies viz., Selenium/Stillingia.
When a patient complains of back pain and she has early decay of teeth, you may ask if she cannot go in hot sun without covering her head (intolerance of sun heat falling on the head) and if the answer is in the affirmative, you may at once think of Selenium. The following two symptoms are keynotes for confirming the remedy Selenium.
Abject despair, uncompromising melancholy—Boericke’s Mat.Med.
Total unfitness for any kind of work—Wilkinsons.
The bedridden osteoporotic patient. Look at him; all his teeth are gone long ago. Pre-senility is another term to describe Selenium. A sixty-year old person looks like a 72-year old debilitated individual. Two per cent of our patients would be Selenium types.
‘Selenium is a constant constituent of bone and teeth.’ This is the first sentence of Selenium in Boericke’s Mat. Med.
Why did we take Stillingia along with Selenium?
See Boericke’s Mat. Med. At the end of Stillingia we find the words ‘Valuable for intercurrent use.’ After giving Selenium-10M one dose, we follow it up with Stillingia-l0M after one month. Again, two months after this we give Selenium-50M; one month after this Stillingia-50M.
Why is Stillingia a complement to Selenium?
In Selenium we find the following mind symptom (Boericke’s Mat. Med.)
“Abject despair, uncompromising melancholy.”
In Stillingia(Wilkinsons) we find the following:
“Deplorably downhearted.”
There is only marginal difference between the above two mind symptoms.
Remember, whenever a patient tells that he would give away half of his wealth to anyone who cures his headache, he needs Stillingia. (Deplorably downhearted.)
—————
Stages of diseases are:
(a) irritation;
(b) inflammation; and
(c) degeneration.
There is another classification of diseases.
(a) functional; and
(b) structural.
Let us illustrate the above with a remedy viz., Aconite. This remedy is more to be kept in the house of a patient than in the clinic of a doctor.
The best example is as follows: A person keeps a stool on a chair and standing on the stool he tries to remove the bulb from the ceiling. While doing so, the stool tilts and he falls down. Imagine his mental state at this time. ‘Fear, anxiety, restlessness.’ Give one dose of Aconite at this time (within 20-40 seconds of his falling down) and you can prevent all the after-effects. But a few minutes after that swelling etc. takes place in the injured place. At this time if you give Aconite there won’t be any effect. Aconite is useful in irritation stage only. In inflammation and degeneration it is of no use. In other words, by the time the patient reaches the clinic of a doctor or hospital, Aconite symptoms go away. That is why we write that Aconite is more to be kept in the house of a patient than in the clinic of a doctor.
A certain homoeopath was giving a long lecture to an audience of homoeopaths. Suddenly he fell down fainting. May be heart attack. One of the audience, a doctor, ran to him, put a few pills into his mouth and moments later the speaker stood up and continued his talk. That is Aconite. The sooner you give in any medical emergency the better. For the chronic effects of trauma Aconite won’t be of any help.
—————
New subject. You should learn the ‘pace’ of remedies. In this connection let us now learn about two remedies viz., Aethusa cynapium and Helleborus.
You must keep such remedies at your fingertip. (You cannot afford to lose sight of them by failure in repertorisation.)
Case: You are called in to attend a child of six months at 5:30 a.m. Thumbs are clenched, eyes drawn downward and the child is moaning (convulsion.) Without a dose of Aethusa that child is sure to die at 6 a.m. the same day. That is the pace of Aethusa. Death is stamped on its face from the beginning.
Another remedy that must be kept in your finger tip is Helleborus.
A 40-50 year old bedridden patient starts talking incoherently and at 2:30 in the afternoon he goes into coma, taken to a hospital and after a few days dies there. [See Kent’s Repertory—GENERALITIES—2:30 p.m.: Helleborus]
The stroke of the clock at 2:30 p.m. is the death bell for the Helleborus patient and without that remedy he is sure to die in a few days of hospitalization.
—————
70 to 90 PER CENT OF CAESAREAN
SURGERIES CAN BE DONE AWAY WITH,
BY THREE DOSES OF HOMOEOPATHIC
MEDICINE.
The foetus (baby in the uterus of the pregnant mother) 1-3 weeks prior to delivery date (so long remaining in upright position) turns upside down, and the uterus descends down in such a way that the head of the foetus remains fixed in the pelvic floor of the mother. 1-3 weeks later, at the delivery time the mouth of the uterus dilates and the child comes out. Even after the full term of ten months if the child does not turn upside down, or turns half-way and lies crosswise,
or
having turned upside down, does not descend further down, the attending lady doctor would say that head is still floating or is in incorrect position and so opens the abdomen to take out the child. This is called caesarean surgery. 70 to 90 per cent of caesarean surgeries at the present day are conducted solely for this reason.
At this time if the patient takes three doses of the homoeopathic medicine Pulsatilla-1000, every 4-8 hours, in the next twenty-four hours it would be a normal and safe delivery.
In the reference book The Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual by Dr. W. A. Yingling, M.D., of U.S.A. we find the following :
"Abnormal presentations may be righted if Pulsatilla is given before the membranes are ruptured or the presenting parts are firmly engaged…"
In a maternity hospital, Pollachi Road, Dharapuram, Tamilnadu, by using Pulsatilla and other remedies there has not been even a single caesarean for the past several years and the lady doctor in-charge has put up a board “Caesarean-free’’ Clinic. The Dharapuram Lions Club has given her a certificate testifying this.

From : Dr. (Mrs.) K. Rajeswari, M.B.B.S., D.G.O Obstetrician and Gynecologist – Ramnathapuram
Dear Dr. Krishnamurthy,
I tried Pulsatilla - 1000 for two patients; resulted in normal delivery.
(a) A lady with third pregnancy, with history of two previous normal deliveries came for check up. The position of the baby was oblique in the last month; and the chances of cesarean delivery, discussed with them. When re-examined, the baby was crosswise and the due date was only ten days, I gave her three doses of Pulsatilla - 1000 and she came with pains, after 10 days, with head in the lower pelvis, delivered normally without any complications.

Single-dose cure for the prevailing
Fever all over india
This year the summer is comparatively very hot all over the globe and any fever patient in the present time exhibits dryness of lips, thirst for large quantities of water and desire for rest (Exact symptoms of the remedy Bryonia). Take one pill, chewable, any time (not necessarily before or after food). Not more than one dose would be needed for any patient. Within an hour or so complete cure is felt by the patient and they themselves ask for discharge from hospital and return home. Restrictions: Do not take bath in hot water. Do not take drinks or food very hot. Whether it is dengue fever or any other fever, the moment you have fever, take one dose of Bryonia-200 and you are cured.
For prevention too, Bryonia-200, one pill, daily once, taken any time, chewable, for three days, is sufficient to prevent dengue for three months. But, in homoeopathy, cure is easier and quicker than prevention.
WONDERS OF HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES
The following diseases can be cured completely and permanently with one single pill of the homoeopathic remedy viz., Crotalus-horridus-10M.
Hepatitis b-virus, Infective hepatitis (Jaundice), Jaundice after blood transfusion, Septicaemia, Haemophilia (Bleeders), uncomplicated cases of Leukaemia. Many readers may ask as to how one and the same remedy can cure many diseases. Dear reader, the terminology used in homoeopathy is something different from all other medical systems. The key-note for use of the above said remedy is as under:
DISEASES OF BLOOD THAT THREATEN THE LIFE OF THE PATIENT can be cured completely and permanently with one single pill of the homoeopathic remedy Crotalus horridus. We have cured the above diseases with one single pill of Crotalus-horridus-10M. No need to repeat at all. Rate of success: more than 95%.
But for Ebola fever, it is haemorrhagic fever” and the following symptoms found in Ebola victims exactly matches with the symptoms of Lachesis:
Following are symptoms of Ebola victims and also those who died of Ebola:

We have cured three victims of Ebola fever quickly and permanently with one single dose of Lachesis-10M. NO NEED TO REPEAT AT ALL!
——————
There are no ‘theories’ or ‘principles of practice’ in homoeopathy. [We find in the market books on principles and theories of homoeopathy!] Everything is practical and practical only. It is like learning swimming or car driving. To learn swimming you are first made to get into the water. You do not read a book on swimming page after page sitting at home; so also, to learn car driving, you are first made to sit on wheels!
Without a good teacher along with actual cases seen with our naked eyes it is impossible to learn homoeopathy. Let us now explain this:
In the remedy Lycopodium we read, “in nearly all cases where Lycopodium is the remedy some evidence of urinary or digestive disturbance will be found.” (Boericke’s Mat. Med.) Does this mean that the remedy Lycopodium is not useful in other diseases? The meaning of this is something different and unless a very good teacher is by your side you may not understand its significance.
Case: A mind-affected person of forty-five years stopped going to office. Even for going to the toilet he wants the company of someone etc. During case taking, the patient remarked: “Doctor, do not give medicine for my mind. Give me medicine to improve my stomach, digestion etc. Only when my stomach gets upset do all the mind symptoms flare up.”
Again, under the remedy Gossypium we read, “A powerful emmenagogue…” (Boericke). What does this mean? We only cure the patient and so delayed or suppressed menses would be cured and the patient would start getting regular menses. Only by seeing an actual case can one learn the meaning and significance of what Boericke means.
Case: A forty year old lady walked in complaining of breathlessness, body pain etc. Since whatever she told was vague we asked about her menses. Immediately she spurted out, “Doctor, only when my monthly periods is delayed I get all these bloated feeling in abdomen, body pain etc. Therefore, better give me medicine to regularize the monthly cycle.”
Boericke’s mat. med. is written in the language of the patient.
Unless you are an unprejudiced observer and you carefully listen to the patient, you cannot have any success.
A case well taken is half cured.
TRAUMA REMEDIES:
[The unique and salient feature of homoeopathy is found in trauma cases. Whatever may be the condition after an accident, the patient is back to work in twenty-four hours (excepting, of course fractures)]
Arnica! Arnica!! Is it the only remedy in homoeopathy for trauma?
From the time of Dr. Hahnemann itself till the present day, Homoeopathy has been enveloped into clouds of mysterious obscurities. No! Homoeopathy is an exact and accurate science. Precision and versatility is its culture. No one can use his whims and fancies to distort or mutilate it.
Whether a beginner or the so-called experienced or senior homoeopath, he prescribes Arnica for all cases of accidents and that is the end of his knowledge. No. Homoeopathy is an exact and accurate subject.
1. Arnica is for blow on single part of the body. It stops the bleeding, removes swelling and pain in no time.
2. Railroad accident. A person falls down rolling from a speeding bus or train, or his speeding two-wheeler skids on the road and he falls down rolling down or his body getting twisted. The whole framework of his body is rocked. In other words the spinal cord is twisted. This calls for the remedy Cicuta virosa and no amount of Arnica would be of any use. Cicuta virosa is for railroad accident.
3. A person falls down hitting the occipital region of his head while trying to get from behind into a running jeep. He becomes unconscious, hospitalized and after a few days discharged hoping that everything is okay. Six months later his whole left side is paralysed. The remedy is Phosphorus and Phosphorus only. It is foolish and ignorance to give Arnica. Phosphorus is for injury to occipital region.
4. A sudden sit down injuring the coccyx bone. It is Hypericum and not Arnica.
5. One actual cured case may not be out of place here. A person falls from fifty feet high place with bleeding etc. Was hospitalized. His fracture etc. got healed and after six weeks in hospital, he is not able to walk and doctors say they cannot do anything. Brought home and they tried one homoeopath after another in Bangalore; daily doses for weeks and months; no effect.
A reader of my book (he has no knowledge of homoeopathy) buys one dram pills of the remedy Millefolium-10M, goes to the patient , puts a pill into his mouth saying that the next day he could get up and walk. And it happened. [See Boericke’s Mat. Med.—Millefolium. Bad effects from fall from a height.’] The earlier homoeopaths had tried Arnica and Arnica. Is there no other remedy in homoeopathy for traumatic causes?
Boiling tea is accidentally flashed on the face and the lady lost vision in both her eyes. A routinist gave Cantharis and no effect. One single dose of Carbolic Acid-200 restored her vision in a few minutes. [See Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory of our Guiding Symptoms of Materia Medica—GENERALITIES—Injuries—Burns—extensive: Carb-ac. Carbolic acid is when deeper tissues are affected.]
The foetus is found dead at the eighth month of pregnancy. Before taking the patient to the theatre one Single dose of Cantharis-10M was given and without any surgery or instrument the dead child was expelled in no time without any complication [See Calvin B. Knerr’s REPERTORY—PREGNANCY—foetus; expels dead: Canth, Cimx., Puls]
Has the governments of any country banned the use of Knerr’s Repertory and Boericke’s Mat. Medica?
Has any college or government prohibited homoeopaths from reading the preface and introduction in the book The Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual by Dr. W. A. Yingling?
Why is no practitioner making use of Knerr, Lilienthal, Yingling, Boericke, Hering etc? I have been making extremely thorough, exhaustive and accurate use of these reference works and I have hardly failed in any case.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON PAGE
1. The remedy Secale is almost a specific when the growth of foetus is arrested. (See Repertory by Dr. Calvin B. Knerr: GENITALIA—FEMALE, Pregnancy, foetus: arrests development, Secale.) One single dose of Secale 10M is sufficient.
2. See Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory—Head—Cerebrospinal affections - meningitis - epidemic: Zinc.
3. See Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory—Stages of Life and Constitution—Constitution, syphilitic—mothers, to prevent disease in offspring: Aurum-mur-nat.
4. See Kent’s Repertory—Generalities—Irrita-bility—When too much medicine has produced an over-sensitive state and remedies fail to act: Ph-ac., Teucr.
[Homoeopaths are giving medicines to patients. The homoeo pharmacists put about ten drops of the tincture to a 5 ml phial of pills. Regardless of whether the homoeopath buys the potencies in dilution or pills, the doctor inadvertently smells the medicine each time he opens the phial to give a few pills to the patient. This causes irritation, making them restless and/or haughty to the point of telling that he need not learn any more thing in homoeopathy. Also when the doctor himself is sick, no homoeo medicine seems to act on himself.]
5. Life and Letters of Hahnemann by Dr. Richard Haehl and another book by Bradford.
6. (a) Oxalic acid (Myelitis acuta, inflammation of the spinal cord)-myelitis paralytica; pains occupy small longitudinal places, < on thinking of them; limbs stiff; dyspnoea and spasmodic constriction of chest, paroxysms of short, hurried breathing, with intervals of ease; acute pain in back gradually extending down to thighs, with great torture, seeks relief in change of position; back too weak to support the body; spinal softening, weakness about loins and hips extending down legs, with numbness and loss of power.
(b) Oxalic acid (Paralysis)-sclerosis of posterior column; pains shooting down from the cord to the extremities, especially lower ones, stiffness of limbs, dyspnoea, followed by a peculiar general numbness, approaching to palsy; back feels too weak to support the body; jerking pains, confined to small spots, lasting only a few seconds; pains in small longitudinal spots; paroxysms of dyspnoea.
We do not have any symptoms that appears latitudinally.
[Items (a) and (b) are from Lilienthal]. Have you still not bought a copy of Lilienthal?
7. Crotalus horridus is the prime remedy for haemophilia.
8. (a) See the answer to question No. 12.
(b) Diseases, more particularly acute, that are longstanding and not cured in spite of best treatment, and where patient is affected much, disturbing his daily routine. We may call them by the term 'Cachexia.' Acute diseases such cough, cold, diarrhoea, skin rash etc. normally do not last long. When you find a patient with these complaints standing long for years and bothering him much, you may use the term 'Cachexia.' This may otherwise be called as weakness of the system or of a part of body.
9. Crotalus horridus.
10. (a) Hamamelis: Passive haemorrhage. No anxiety or pain:
(b) Phosphorus: Active haemorrhage with anxiety.
11. (a) Arnica (b) Cicuta (c) Millefolium (d) Phosphorus.
12. For a patient with chronic tonsillitis, you would generally look into the Repertory against the following:
Tonsils, inflamed (quinsy, tonsillitis) (page 454 of Kent’s Repertory) But remedies in this list may be useful for acute complaints of tonsillitis. For curing tonsillitis permanently, it needs ‘treatment of chronic diseases.’ Chronic tonsillitis is due to tuberculosis (See MEDICAL DISEASES OF INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD by Dawson Williams, London: Cassel & Co. p. 338-348)
When tuberculosis affects the lung it is called pulmonary tuberculosis or phthisis; with a family history of tuberculosis, when t. b. affects bones or glands it is called ‘scrofula’ or ‘struma’.
All chronic affections of glands are due to tuberculosis in the family. Chronic affections of bones may be due to either tuberculosis or syphilis; (in syphilitic affections of bones we find ‘nightly boring’ pain.)
Therefore, to cure a chronic tonsillitis patient, we must
consider the following:
Scrofulosis — glandular affections. Bar., Bell., Calc., Carb. an., Cist., Clem., Con., Dulc., Graph., Hep., Kali, Lapis, Lyc., Merc., Nitr. ac., Phos., Rhus, Sil., Staph., Sulph. [See p. 943 of Lilienthal]
13. The Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual by Dr. W. A. Yingling.
14. See Dr. Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory - MIND - Suicide, attempted: Plb.
15. Pain at the point of amputation is called ‘ghost pain’. Allium cepa is the remedy for this.
16. See Calvin B. Knerr’s REPERTORY—GENERALITIES—Bones, injuries, ....after fracture of tibia: ANTHRACIN.
17. “. . . a patient had been travelling about from oculist to oculist, who had many visual troubles and no glasses would suit. . .LAC FEL. cured her.” (See Kent’s LECTURES ON HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA—Spigelia.)
18. Physostigma (Calabar) - on walking, feeling of unsteadiness from knees downward, so that he has to tread carefully, especially when eyes are shut; he must see where he is going wants a cane to support himself; stiffness in recti femoris; languor; flatulence.
Spinal irritation, loss of motility, prostration . . . Fibrillary tremors. Rigidity of muscles; paralysis. Depresses the motor and reflex activity of the cord and causes loss of sensibility to pain, muscular weakness . . . Paralysis and tremors, chorea. — Boericke Materia Medica—Physostigma.
Trembling of legs, as if one could not walk straight. A feeling as if all power was going out of legs and they would give way; as if the cause of the weakness came from that one spot in back, between hips, and took away all power below that spot from limbs . . . Shuddering and trembling running down through all nerves of body . . . Violent trembling all over, in the street; felt for an instant as if he should lose consciousness, and could hardly get home; riding in a car for twenty minutes did not relieve sensations . . . Loss of voluntary motion without loss of consciousness . . . Complete relaxation of whole body, as if every nerve was unstrung, even to the eyes, which felt as if all power to see was going out of them. Giddiness and faintness without uneasiness. Paralyses motor nerves, but does not impair sensibility, intelligence and muscular irritability. — The Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica (10 volumes) by Dr. Constantine Hering—Calabar.
Remember the remedy Physostigma (Calabar) 10M, one single dose, for an old man walking with a cane trembling and treading carefully, It is one of the old age remedies par excellence. Learn by rote the above symptoms of Calabar.

Homoeopathy is based on eternal laws. There are no theories or principles of practice. It is ridiculous to talk of ‘principles’ and ‘theories’ of homoeopathy.
Question: Where will you look for remedies for complaints of (a) the new born within twenty-four hours of birth; and (b) within one year of age?
Answer: (a) See the last chapter The BABY in Yingling.
(b) See (i) the Chapter GENITALIA—FEMALE—INFANTS in Dr. Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory and (ii) “Children Diseases of—Morbi Neonatorum et Infantum.” in Homoeo-pathic therapeutics by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal. (p. 148 to 184)

Sub: SINGLE DOSE CURE for the present EBOLA, MADRAS EYE etc.
As you might be aware, since 2008, epidemic and pandemic diseases have been spreading one after the other. Having started with Chikungunya, followed by Swine flu and Dengue. How did we select this remedy. ‘Gloom’ was on the face victims. [See Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory—MIND—Gloomy, ague, in: Bol-la (otherwise called Polyporus officinale.) Now it is the turn of Ebola haunting the world. Yes! In the next seven years, about twenty more epidemic diseases would emerge! Anyone who has been keenly studying the history of medicine till date can predict this.
Nevertheless, readers of this circular can have a sigh of relief. As and when a new epidemic shows its ugly face, we would inform the world the name of the homoeo remedy for that epidemic. The undersigned and his students have cured about two lakh victims of Chikungunya in just one hour, by giving just one pill of the homoeo remedy Boletus Laricis-200 (Polyporus officinale). In homoeopathy cure of a disease is easier than its prevention.
1) Patients affected not only by Dengue, but also those affected by any other types of fever prevalent today have been cured by us in one hour, by giving just one pill of the homoeo remedy Bryonia-200. Many patients who were admitted in hospitals for 2-4 days for fever (whatever be the name of the fever) got complete cure within an hour of taking Bryonia-200 and so got voluntary discharge from the hospital. This year, summer all over the globe was very hot and after going in sun many developed “dryness of slips, thirst for large quantities of water, desire for rest” etc.--all being classical symptoms of the remedy Bryonia. Myself and my students have never failed with BRYONIA IN DENGUE, OR, FOR THAT MATTER, ANY FEVER AT THE PRESENT DAY. In epidemics only one, or, at the most, two remedies alone would be indicated. But on page 8 of the October 2014 issue of the homoeo journal Vital informer one Dr. Archana Naranga and another Dr. Manish Thakur, teaching staff of Dr. B. R. Sur Homoeo Medical College, New Delhi, had suggested repeated doses of various remedies such as Belladonna, Aconite, Eup-perf., Ferr-phos, Crotalus horr. etc. etc. No! Not at all!! In epidemics it is generally one remedy that is indicated for all cases. We beg all homoeo doctors to try first ONE SNGLE DOSE OF BRYONIA-200, be it dengue or any other fever. Let us now see how we arrived at Bryonia. Patients admitted in hospital for dengue fever, invariably got the attack after going in the hot sun followed by cool drinks. This is more or less sunstroke and is to be treated as such. Homoeopathy is not concerned with disease name but with symptoms. Hospitalised patients of dengue fever invariably showed the following symptoms: "Painful feeling of fullness in head; inappetency or loathing; vomiting and diarrhoea; vehement disposition; fits of anger perhaps during sequelae.” This symptom is found under Bryonia in the chapter SUNSTROKE on page 1004 of HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal.
Again, swine flu victims mostly died of lung failure. The life threatening disease of lung is pneumonia. In Lilienthal we find the words ‘epidemic pneumonia’ under two remedies only viz., Ferr-met. and Merc-sol. If you read the mind symptoms of these two remedies in WILKINSON’S MAT.MEDICA you will find that Merc-sol agrees not only with the mind symptoms of victims of swine flu but also in those who are anxious for prevention of swine flu. That is homoeopathy and that is Lilienthal. Without Lilienthal do not attempt to find remedy for epidemics. Lilienthal’s work is ten times worth its weight in gold.
2) Likewise, a Swine flu patient who was admitted in the hospital for two weeks, took a single pill of the homoeo remedy Merc-sol-10,000 from us and came home within an hour, as he got complete cure.
3) Three of Ebola-infected patients abroad got complete cure within in an hour by taking one single pill of homoeo remedy Lachesis-10,000. Ebola is a haemorrhagic fever and the following one or more symptoms are found in Ebola victims:
Haematuria from blood degenerescence as in low fevers, hence deposits of disintegrated blood - cells, of fibrine, presenting the appearance of charred straw. (Purpura) - haemorrhages and extravasations, red and black streaks on skin; great physical and mental exhaustion; icy coldness of feet; vertigo on walking, black flickering before eyes, fainting, pulseless. jaundice with ecchymoses and haemorrhages; spotted fever, tendency to gangrene. - cerebral typhoid torpor with loss of vitality, associated with nervous excitability, cutaneous hyperaesthesia and decomposition of the blood. intolerance of pressure from the cutaneous hyperaesthesia; he sleeps into an aggravation from depressing influences on centres of respiration; both body and mind worn out, with relaxation of muscular system; heat in head, with throbbing from every movement; heaviness of head; especially occiput, with vertigo; muttering stupor; delirium with great loquacity, jumping from one thing to another; sunken countenance; tendency of lower jaw to drop, and sleeps much with mouth open; fever and delirium < as night advances; mouth dry, black, stiff with dry, red, blackish tongue, cracked on tip, trembling when protruded or catching between teeth and bleeding; abdomen hard and distended, with rumbling and gurgling in bowels before diarrhoea; stools very offensive whether formed or not; red - brown and copious urine; cough and dyspnoea, bloody, slimy expectoration; decubitus, ulcers inflamed, red, with black borders; haemorrhages, blood dark and particles looking like charred straw; coolness of extremities.
Lachesis and Lachesis alone covers all the above symptoms found in Ebola victims.
4) For the current epidemic Madras Eye (Conjunctivitis) in South India, one single pill of the homoeo remedy Cinnabaris-10M completely cures the patient. No Need to repeat!
(Homoeopathy cures in SINGLE DOSE.)
Each of the above mentioned medicines of 5ml bottle each (containing about 75 pills) costs just Rs. 250=00. This is sufficient for 75 patients.
Boletus Laricis
(Polyporus Officinale) 200 — for CHIKUNGUNYA
Merc-sol-10,000 — for SWINE FLU
Bryonia-200 —for DENGUE fever or any other fever of the present day
Lachesis-10,000 — for EBOLA fever
Cinnabaris-10,000 — for Madras Eye (conjunctivitis)
