Hannaman knew that many people could not afford to go to the doctor's. In his day, didn't the wives, mothers, and aunts use a lot of their home remedies, and were not they pretty good? Homeopathy has a strong intuitive side. Wouldn't it be good to empower the homemakers, the caretakers of homes where there are not good homepaths with homeopathic training?

I live here in India. I would like to see homeopaths train the caretakers who are usually the wives and mothers on how to use homeopathy for acute situations. For instance there are always accidents going on here due to labor-intensive work. We have four tower blocks being built on our streets. The construction workers look more like circus performers walking on their wooden scaffolding. Driving here in Madras is like playing bumper cars all day long. Always need for arnica, etc.

There is a homepath in every neighbourhood, but many people just don't have the money. I find myself teaching people the little I know on first aid and giving them first aid kits.

Malaria has hit here. I went to my tailors and all her workers were home sick in their slums. If you say there's a remedy for malaria that works the majority of the time... Perhaps these caretakers could go a little further than first aid--these slum dwellers. In Madras, 10% don't know where their next meal is coming from.

I have already given a larger first aid set to a woman who takes care of about 100 street dogs. She has train about two to three other women who do the same in other neighbourhoods. They make a medicinal solution and sort of sprinkle it at the dog's mouth. They have had incredible results.

I am only a self-taught student. I don't have the capacity to study homeopathy outright. I see a need here for some sort of practical homeopathy--I lack the proper terminology here. These ideas are rough and crude. I present them humbly. Perhaps we could all put our heads together on this one?

Just thinking, thinking, thanks,

((( Cynthia, below is listed the many current materia medica rx that have
the word malaria in their literature. There are some common ones (China
officinalis, natrum-mur, for example) but it would not be a quick first aid
gig to truly eradicate the acute disease.

===================================
Group treatment option may simplify
However, in a true acute epidemic commonality of morbific influence can be
used to find a remedy that fits the regional disease of the time. The
epidemic occurs from meteorological, telluric (geomagnetic) and local
issues; along with the mutation of the mosquito-borne pathogen; together
with the miasmatic load of the victim. That is what allows the mosquito
issue increase, and/or mutation; and or local susceptibility; and/or
individual susceptibility. The bug can colonize in body due to fooling the
humoral immunity via mutation and by miasmatic load of the patient.

In group treatment, common morbific influence and context/geography is used
as a "leg of a stool" to group all sufferers into the same regional disease
cohort. This can simplify finding rx. One main rx which applies to
malarial sufferers in the area may be found if there is a particular
outbreak beyond what is just endemic, and it is virulent. But individual
variation in cases may still be a factor, and the individual case will still
need to be taken, though once small group of rx candidates identified, it is
easier.
Group totality Procedure:
--Peculiarize as many cases as possible as if it was only one case

--Repertorize

--Compare candidates to the sum of the case peculiars and choose rx that
fits best

--Give to one client, then others until confirm

This method is covered in Organon paragraphs 101-104. 241-sixth edition
specifically discusses the use of the group totality rx in intermittent
fever.

Comments on group treatment from David Little's website:

"...Unknown to many modern homoeopaths, Hahnemann developed two fundamental
case analysis strategies, one for the individual constitution which is
uniquely affected (Org. §153) and the other for diseases on common cause and
similar symptoms which affects a homogeneous group (Org. §101, 102). The
theoretical foundation for this is found in the very first sentence of the
Introduction of the Organon of the Healing Art:

"As long as humanity has existed, people have been exposed, individually
or collectively, to illnesses from physical or moral causes."

All human beings may suffer individually and collectively from diseases of
ethical and physical causes. The first sentence of the Organon reaches into
the very origins of the suffering of individuals, families, races and the
species, homo sapiens The group anamnesis can be used in virulent miasms,
endemic environmental and nutritional disorders, and toxic diseases
presenting a strong single syndrome. Hahnemann applied the group anamnesis
to acute diseases as well as the universal chronic miasms..."

====================
PC Remedy for Malaria
Also, Peter Chappell's remedy for Malaria (based on the above concept and
made precisely to order by technology) is another option. The PC remedy is
from the group totality of the PERENNIAL peculiars of Malaria the DISEASE
ENTITY------ not the peculiars of cases of only one outbreak of it.
(vitalremedies.com, get the code to order from pharmacy). It can be tried
on any sufferer of diagnosed malaria or vulnerable parties (as
prophylactic).

Other rx that have worked as prophylactics are esp. malaria officinalis and
malaria nosode, among others.

Otherwise, there is no way around taking the individual case and treating
individually.

All the luck to you and your neighbors and friends.

Best,
A

Hi Cynthia-
When I was practising in madras I was using combination remedies
mainly for this purpose- in my allopathy clinic. It is easy for
administration esp. for people who are not very educated and cannot
learn to differentiate between medicines. All they are concerned
about is having something that works and helps them avoid going to
allopathic doctors. I had a combination for fever, one for
respiratory infections, one for skin infections, healing etc. I used
to buy blank dummy tablets from allopathic wholesalers, moisten them
with the combinations and allow it to dry.I had different color
tablets for different combinations. My yellow tablet for upper
respiratory infections was very popular so I guess it was effective.
DeChane medicines ( which combines allopathy with homeopathy with
ayurveda )have some good medicines for malaria. Companies like
Bahola have some good combinations which might be good and cheap.
Better still see what the combination is and recreate the
combinations by buying dilutions and mixing them. Works out cheaper.

If you buy good lanolin and heat it and then pour Rescue remedy(
Flower remedies)in it and prepare an ointment (and pour them into
smaller bottles immediately when it is hot)you get excellent
medicine for all kinds of burns and cuts. I have used it so many
times for helping construction crew who are notoriously prone for
all kinds of accidents and this worked like a charm. They used to
get it from me by the dozen.

I used another medicine I prepared from Siddha side. It is called
Vadha rakshasan but there are about 100 different preparations of
this all over India. The formula I had was from a practitioner from
Siddha Samaj ( Badakara, Kerala). He used to be from Triplicane
area. This is excellent for all kinds of skin, rheumatic and trauma
conditions. I gave the formula to another doctor in Coimbatore and
is difficult to prepare but worth the effort.

Let me know if you want more help and we can talk privately.

Dear H.
I very interested in what you had to say about serving the poor. It is very much on my mind. My friend just returned from Cuba. People lined up in the streets to get grafts of the diarrhea and fever combinations that I gave her. I had made grafts in a small kit for her travel. She made liquid dilutions and handed them out to people who came to have their case taken bring their own cups. Lives were saved and people were exposed to homeopathy for the first time. She found out that there is a pharmacy in Havana, but a doctor's prescription is needed to buy remedies. The only doctor in town was on vacation.
As you probably know, the US government has long shut off trade. I have heard that the Pharmaceutical companies are already gearing up the advertising campaigns. I don't speak Spanish, but I would love to go there next summer if only to figure out complex cases for her as she is pulling them in. Next summer, she will be go again, but this time armed with books in Spanish and more than my little grafted kit.
Blessings,
Ellen Madono

Dear E

Is 'grafted' another word for 'COMBINATION'?

Soroush

Hi Soroush,
"Grafted" means that a single pill (or a few?) are put into a bottle of
"blanks", and that is how the blanks are potentized. So I suppose you
could do it with combo or with single.
Shannon

Hi Shannon

I had not heard of this and if a single 'dry' potentised globulee is dropped
in a bottle sac lac, how are the sac lac pills potentised?

Rgds
Soroush

Mm, that's all I was told, or so I think I remember. It's been talked
about in the past--if the archives can be searched for content, maybe
that would turn it up?
Shannon

Better still, I should have just let Ellen answer!
