Thank you for your thoughtful editorial. I have been practicing
for 5.5 years now, and I agree with your analysis of education and
the use of new methods. I was educated in the US, under Eric Sommerman/Val
O hanian, both lovers of the classics. I was incredibly fortunate.
However, they were not as dedicated to the modern medical arts,
and I find myself continuing to learn, and striving to learn what
I need in this area. We need both skills. ---------------------------------------- Feedback - Gastritis ---------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Bhatia, I want to thank you for your heartfelt article. I am practicing somewhat in isolation...seeing patients out of my home in Mississauga, Ontario. I have had so many moments of doubt in my eight years of practice. Just as I begin to wonder whether I am "doing the right thing" for those who come to see me, something happens which is wonderful, such as a patient, full of gratitude, writing me some small note of thanks. These few times keep me going. As far as deciding which remedy is right for each person, I find that the ones in which I spend hours scouring texts, looking for some common thread to grasp and finding none but a chaos of different remedies, in these cases I do not do as well as the ones which I try to rise above the symptoms a bit and just ask whoever .....which remedy tells me of this person the most? Since I have begun to trust this more as time goes by, I know I am walking at these times a very special course which is somewhat elusive. I only wish I could consistently work well. I thank you again for admitting to frustration in this wonderful science. I know to the depths of my heart that there is something so true, so promising and so right about Homeopathy that I can only hope to be able to improve to the point of doing all I can do to the best of my ability. Sometimes I feel that we are touching the tip of the iceberg as pioneers in North American Homeopathy. It is as if the ones of us who are practicing know in our hearts that we are humbly playing with a real universal truth that we are privileged to take our meager efforts to like a baby who first smells a flower and knows that it is something special. You have given me hope to continue and so I plod on, trusting that time and experience will yield the gifts of knowledge. Best regards, Janee Niebler ---------------------------------------- Tips and Secrets are invaluable. They're easy to memorize. I already see that I'm using them in my clinical practice. Thank you. Dr. Ellen Feingold, M.D. ---------------------------------------- I enjoyed going through your article regarding homeopathy in gastrities.it
was marvelous! i hope that such articles will help many of them
who constantly pour their money into hands of quacks/so called medical
practitioners who loot people. ---------------------------------------- Thanks so much for providing this free course! ---------------------------------------- Thank you for your words of guidance to students and new practitioners. I myself am in my first year of practice after studying for 8 ½ years (to complete a 4 year full time degree), and although I have been seeing patients in the student clinic for the last 4 years, it is different “flying solo”. So thank you for the reminder about the basics. I was fortunate to see Dr Luc when he came to Australia earlier this year and appreciated him sharing his knowledge of case management and reminded me that it is all there if you read the Organon. Thank you for your wonderful newsletter ---------------------------------------------- respected dr bhatia, ------------------------------------- Disappointment ------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Manish I have just read your editorial and you have made my day. Thank
you so much. I can relate at this point of time to everything that you have written, I have just been having some of those experiences that you talk about and wondering what am I doing, or where am I going with this course? I have just started to take cases and I am discovering that I actually need to go back to the very basics of homeopathy and read the Organon and Kent's Lectures again and again. So the synchronicity of your editorial is incredible. I can honestly say that I am so lucky in that I have a wonderful mentor who is guiding me through this difficult time and helping me in a person centered way to learn about myself and my short comings and what I need to do to go forward. She has given me the courage not to be afraid to learn from my mistakes and to do exactly as you say in your editorial, go back to the basics and learn the philosophy again and work from there, that there is no basis without it. As you say, getting to know yourself is very important, but it is very hard to do, because as a human being I like many others have huge difficulty in admitting that I make mistakes. But I am getting the guidance right now with that and feel so lucky that I am. So your article really touched a spot in my heart right now. I will be printing out your editorial and putting it where I can
refer to it each time that I have doubts or fears or just feel plain
scared! ------------------------------------- Dear Editor, I wouldn’t like to enter in a correspondent discussion with the respected Luc De Schepper, MD, PhD, Lic Ac, but I disagree with his statement, that the new methods (he quotes these of Sankaran and Scholten) are a greatest dander for the future of Homeopathy. These “new methods” are focused on postgraduate students and practitioners so it’s supposed, ad hoc, they know the repertory and MM by heart. These “new methods” aren’t a sort of “New age”‘s experiment but a serious and fundamental understanding of Homeopathy through the contemporary – 21’s century - human experience and vision. And these “new methods” actually aren’t new methods, but new approaches to the homeopathic method. The more I enter in the depth of Sankaran’s works, the more I understand what Hahnemann had wanted to express with “central disturbance” and how the central disturbance correlates with the Sankaran’s “general sensation”. This is like Mozart’s music – simple and genius. It’s simple because it’s genius and genius because it’s simple. (Please, don’t accept this as a calambour.) The genius of Homeopathy is due to its openness as a system. Practically every open system can be superstructured. I have never accepted the work of Hahnemann as a dogma, but as a way to be followed and developed during the centuries. I can’t help agreeing with Luc De Schepper that the homeopathic education is “mediocre worldwide and bad in many parts”. But this is not good reason to charge Sankaran’s and Scholten’s work with a kind of guilt. This seems like this: Let’s eat with fingers and stop using the knives as kitchen utensils because some people had committed a murder with them. The contemporary homeopathy needs contemporary dialogues and discussions. Furthermore – tolerance. And the tolerance could start with the teachers. When the teachers enjoy good “health”, the homeopathic environment could be healthy and … hygienic. Best regards Ekaterina Chamurliyska, MA, Msc, homeopath, clinical psychologist ------------------------------------- Thank you for a wonderful editorial. I feel every student of Homeopathy
must read it. You have put everything in its right perspective.
Thank you once again for your wonderful work. ------------------------------------- I so loving reading articles by Julian - his precision and readability
is always superb. Please keep running his articles whenever you
can...actually why not make a history segment in the journal? I'm
sure few of us know enough history! -------------------------------------
------------------------------------- Your editorial of July issue is very informative.It gives practical guidelines for a successful homoeopath.Even though there are different schools here one has to have the basic correct to follow any particular schools likeSehgsld, Vijyarkar, Sankaran etc. hariom ------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Manish Bathia - I wanted to thank you for the wonderful letter you wrote ' a note
for the students'. I've been working for over ten years now, and
I'll always stay a student :-). Your insights were frank and encouraging. Good luck in all your endeavors. Rivka Klein - de Graaf ------------------------------------- Dear Dr Bhatia, What a wonderful letter you took the time to write to the students! I belong to this site and become frustrated at times with the bickering that goes on about who is right about what the essence of Homeopathy is. You are right - one must always be working on the progression of self and the desire to help others. In my limited experience (graduated 2004 from the Devon School) I find that the remedy will "speak to me" when I am able to establish an empathetic rapport with the patient. If my mind is too busy being stressed about "what is the remedy" it clouds my vision and therefore my ability to "be" with the patient. I hope to continue to learn as you say until I hang up my boots! Thank you! Janet ------------------------------------- Dear Dr. B, Your honesty and candor has touched me very deeply and its message
was just what I needed to hear. To say that it was timely would
be an understatement! You see I have just completed my first year
of practice and have spent a good amount of time chasing my tail
and pulling my hair as I struggle to make my patients well. Sincerely, Nick Mazzoli ------------------------------------- What a wonderful and inspirational editorial. Thank you so much!! ------------------------------------- Sir i would like to pay thanks for giving great services to promote
homeopathy through Hpathy series.I ve read your experiences with
homeopathy in your valuable article " A NOTE TO THE STUDENTS
".It is really a guide for new homoeopaths.I really appreciates
your this valuable work. --------------------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Manish Bhatia, As a student of Homeopathy at the British Institute, I REALLY APPRECIATED YOUR ARTICLE. I enrolled in the BIH, expecting wonderful miracles in short order from homeopathy, but found it all to be much more difficult than expected. There is so much to learn. The material media seems so overwhelming at times and the homeopathic repertories – even more overwhelming most of the time. I have gotten so frustrated, one minute thinking “Aha - I’ve got this one”, only to find that I didn’t have it. But there are two things that a number of homeopaths have said and that is 1) to study homeopathy, you must have humility. 2) homeopathy is a life long study. I try to keep those things in mind and take it one day at a time. I have also found Robin Murphy to be one of the most inspiring teachers and most encouraging. He is able to explain things so well, and I feel he has a good understanding of homeopathy. He doesn’t expect perfection and he always gives hope (with a smile). If it wasn’t for him, I might have quit by now. Thank you again for your article…it is another big encouragement
to me as a student of homeopathy. I will print it, keep it in a
special place, and read it often. ----------------------------------------------- WOW, it helps me to use the Scholtens method. I liked the pictures of the periodic chart and stages. It is easier to relate to this method when I see it and have it explained this way, Thankyou. Debi What I would like to say about case presenting by Dietmar they
are very good and successful But what about that cases when we fail?
What percentage of successful case we have if Sankaran has only
4%? We dont have read that about. Thanks for the Homeopathy for Everyone ezine. I have taken a look
at 'The Psychosomatic Dimension of Homeopathy including Cancer Cases'
by Dietmar Payrhuber. My only comment at this time relates to the
making of remedies Yours sincerely Chris Macfarlane ----------------------------------------------------- Hi, I really enjoyed reading this (Payruhuber) article. Your H'pathy
Ezine is great, clear and easy to read. Keep up the good work! Durdana --------------------------------------- Thank you very much for these papers. Again thank you, Robert Bannan Phoenix, AZ, USA ---------------------------------------- The article was very informative for a beginner like me, Hope Scholtens method will have a revolution in Homeopathy...!!!! In fact I want to contact Dr.Diter,for referring a chronic case to him Thanks & regards --------------------------------------------------------- I had gone through the first article thoroughly and also the concept
of Scholten as far as his explaining of the symptoms only I can
say it is a different dimension taking into the periodic table and
generalizing. ------------------------------------------------- i think author is very much successful in explaining the psychosomatic dimension of homeopathy Dr. Reddy ---------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Bhatia et al- ========= ========= --The new method of Ardavan Shahrdar of finding remedies for viral
or --The layer method, remedies, and philosophy of Tinus Smits. With High Regards, Namaste, ------------------------------------------- Sincerely, ------------------------------------------- Brian Watson ---------------------------------------- Dear Dr Bhatia I just join forum couple of days ago. I go through " A note for the student" which is very informative and eye opening. Your advise is very valuable for me. Thank you, Dr. Imtiyaz Shaikh ------------------------------------------- But a lot of questions arise, that could not be easily answered through an interview like this. These are both philosophical and homeopathic. I think a furthur evolution of his method may need to address these very seriously, which I feel he will choose to do when he is ready. These are questions that are at the core of classical homeopathic philosophy and practice which has been very successful for those who have learned to master it with experience. These cannot be avoided or treated as inconsequential. I would like to understand/grasp his new method as one more tool in my armamentarium. But I would be like to also be clear as to where is its scope is in my clinical practice that ranges from managing clinical emergencies and acutes, to chronic and miasmatic management, to a good sprinkling of people with severe psychological problems (and hence psychosomatic diseases) that simple counseling (or placebo!) cannot overcome. Thank you for the interview that brings the Vital Sensation method in clearer focus for understanding and discussion. dr. leela ----------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA SHEMTOB ---------------------------------------- I appreciate this opportunity to express my admiration for Dr.
S. ---------------------------------------- Feedback on interview This was a great read. Thanks so much for providing us with it. I was really impressed with the fact there were cases provided to look at his philosophy. thanks again --------------------------------------------------- Those people that hate his view towards homeopathy should try and
accept his ideas for they are quite We should learn not to critise other people's opinion because is not easy to come by. Joy Daberechi ---------------------------------------- Dear Editor, Dear Editor, ---------------------------------------- Fully gone through the interview with Dr.Rajan Sankran.Dr.Rajan
Sankran explained well his thoughts ,his new modern theories regarding
treating cure ,his new approach for treatment . ---------------------------------------- IR. MY NAME IS ARUN RAJVANSHI, I AM FROM BIKANER. I AM KEEN OBSERVER AND A LEARNER OF HOMOEOPATHY SYSTEM. AS FAR I HAVE COME TO KNOW , HOMOEOPATHY IS THE ULTIMATE FUTURE IN ALL 359 PATHIES, PATIENTS ARE BEING LOOKED AFTER ALL OVER WORLD. THE REASON OF NOT GETTING ITS DUE RESPECT IN SOCIETY IS OUR OWN SYSTEM. WE, WETHER A MEDICINE MANUFACTRURER, A DOCTOR, A SHOP KEEPER, A PUBLISHER OR EVEN A THINKER OR WELL WISHER OF HOMOEOPATHY, DO NOT HAVE SELF CONFIDENCE AND COUNT OUR OWN SYSTEM ON A VERY LOW PROFILE. IN MY OPINION ONE MAJOR REASON BEHIND THIS IS THAT MAJOR %AGE OF HOMOEOPATHIC PERSON IS BELONGING TO THAT PART OF SOCIETY WHICH IS RUNNING TO ARRANGE FOR BREAD, BUTTER IS THEIR DREAM TO ACHIEVE. TO COME OUT OF THIS, WE NEED TO DO MIRACLES IN THIS FIELD, LIKE ADVANCED RESEARCH ON HEART (LIKE I HAVE DONE), CANCER, SKIN ETC.... IF WE RESTRICT PATIENTS FROM GOING FOR OPERATIONS AND OTHER AVOIDABLE CIRCUMSTANCES BY HELPING TO CURE THEM, WE MAY GENERATE CONFIDENCE IN THE MASS. ONE OTHER MAJOR PROBLEM IS LOW CONFIDENCE OF DOCTORS OF LOSING PATIENTS, DOCTORS THINK THAT IF THEY CHARGE MORE THAN 30 OR 50 RUPEES FOR SEVEN DAYS, FROM A PATIENT THEY WILL RUN AWAY AND NOT TAKE TREATMENT FROM THEM. AND SEEING AND HAVING THIS STIGMA IN MIND THEY DONT GO FOR COSTLY MEDICINES AND BY THIS CHOICE OF MEDICINES GETS LIMITED. IN CRONIC CASE WHERE HOMOEOPATHIC DOCTORS CAN HELP CURE THE PATIENT, THEY STRAIGHT AWAY TELL THE PATIENT TO GO TO ALOPATHIC DOCTORS, WHERE EVEN IF THEY DONT HAVE ANY THING TO DO TO CURE THE PATIENT THEY CARRY ON WITH THE PATIENTS TILL THEIR DEATH OR THEIR POCKETS GET EMPTIED. MY OBSERVATION SO FAR, HAS BEEN, IS THAT, IF, ONE HAS VISION, HE WILL HAVE SELF CONFIDENCE AND ONCE, IF, ONE GENERATES CONFIDENCE IN HIS OWN, HE MAY HELP TO BUILD A PERFECT FUTURE FOR HIS OWN AS WELL AS FOR HOMOEOPATHY. I APPEAL TO ALL HOMOEOPATHS TO RISE AND UPGRADE THIS VERY GENIUNE SYSTEM OF TREATMENT OR CURE.... LIKE CHANAKYA SAID TO HIS FOLLOWERS "UTHTHISHT BHARTIYA" A SAY TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO READ THIS "UTHTHISHT HOMOPATHS" THANKS FOR READING AND IMPLEMENTING MY VISION. ---------------------------------------- I love Sankaran's work. It is insightful and informative. Unfortunately,
many homeopaths are short sighted that lack insight and depth of
understanding. --------------------------------------------------- I always enjoy the newsletter and thank you for all the work you put into it. Greetings Susan ---------------------------------------- if Sankaren is not a classicala homeopath he gets my vote....not
that I am against classical but it is not the end the road ---------------------------------------- Homeopathy philosophies are not for me! I am extremely in love
with god and it goes toward altering states of belief for me. The
only thing I love about homeopathic remedies is the fact that the
remedies are natural and can be healthy and healing. I am not into
the emotional side or nature gods or meditation to whomever. ---------------------------------------- I have NO TIME to READ interviews, no matter how worthy the person
being interviewed. Yours faithfully ---------------------------------------- Dr Rajan interviewed by Dr Manish Bhatia is very eye opening to
most homeopaths. It is obvious that he has been taking great care
to notice the symptoms of the various cases he has mentioned, and
has given very simple medicines to cure them. Chandra Sanyal -------------------------------------------- very grateful to learn the methodology of case taking of Dr.Rajansankaran..It's breathtaking and enlightening atorcc bearer in the field of Scientific-art Homeopathy.we learn,will learn &will be learning....till we can keep pace with him. &n bsp; &n bsp; Thank you. Dr. Jegadeesh.k.b. -------------------------------------------- hello dr.manish i had read the whole interview of dr.r.s it was
fabulous i am a great fan and follower of his techniqes i have his
{almost} all books and they are very precious for me . i really
liked his method of case taking --------------------------------------------- Sankaran Interview ---------------------------------------- the philosophical approach of Dr. Sankaran is difficult to be comprehended
by an ordinary homeopath. this is the way probably most great homeopaths
treated. they could find the similium, though each had his individual
their methods were not same. however since every homeopath is not
a genius, this did not help in developing homeopathy for the masses.
contrast this with Dr. Prafull Vijayakar's method. he is much simpler
and almost mathematical. he repertorise non disease symptoms- mentals
and generals to find the similium. for examle he says that a person
who is "conscentious for trifles" has this in his genetic
code and he will require only those remedies which have this symptom.
find 3 or 4 mental symptoms depending upon the miasm and a few general
symptoms- thermals, thirst, appetite etc. and we have almost reached
similium. if his method is so simple, we have to conduct a survey
to find as to how ----------------------------------------- Sankaran Interview That was very informative and very engaging. watisar ----------------------------------------------- i m learnig his method.its working.by this only we can learn what is health?what we have to treat?thanks for this article.it was great learnig Ritu ---------------------------------------- I am common person interested in Homeopathy in its classical application. Regards R.S.PAI ---------------------------------------- DR. BAHTIA I READ WITH EARNEST YOU INTERVIEW .WHILE THE GOOD DOCTOR HAS PLENTY OF KNOWLEDGE I FOUND THAT BASICALL HE HAS NOT EVEN ATTEMPTED TO RE EVALUATE HIS VERY EARLY WRIRINGS AND DIAGNOSTIC IDEAS. I DO NOT AGREE TOTALLY WITH HIS LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE MINERALS HE USED IN THE TX OF THE PATIENTS.I AM OF THE BELEIF THAT WE USE ALL FORMS OF MECICAL INTERVENTION NO MATTER WHAT IS AVAILABLE. eVEN IF IT IS ALLOPATHIC AND THERE IS NO HPATHY DOCTOR AVAILABLE OUR OBLIGATION IS TO THE pATIENT NOT WHAT PART OF THE WORLD WE ARE IN OR THE FORM OF MEDICINE WE CAN ACQUIRE. DR. C RYAN DO ---------------------------------------- I read David Little’s article with interest, and would like to raise only a couple of points with him since the length of the article precludes an equally lengthy reply. But as he says ‘I have taken the time to write this rather lengthy discourse because I really care about Homoeopathy’, so do I and would therefore like to reply from a ‘post-modern’ or ‘neoclassical’ perspective. (see my article Homeopathy & Multiple Skills by C.J.Wansbrough published Homeopathic Links Volume17, Summer 2004 or website www.biolumanetics.net/tantalus) My approach to homeopathy has always been empirical but I have spent time in research. David Little states and I quote him, ‘Every established classical system is associated with certain maxims that express its core values. The four cardinal aphorisms of traditional Homoeopathy are Similars Cure Similars, the single remedy, the minimum dose and the application of the potentized remedy. These cardinal principles are then applied a number of ways that can be tailored to suit a wide variety of clinical situations.’ I have no trouble or arguments with these maxims, they are strictly speaking the essential core of homeopathic practice. But I have no need to apply or even value Hahnemann’s perspective on how energy medicine works , we have quantum theory and physics for this. I personally apply the principle of similars by assuming it to be a number of frequencies the closer it is the more effective the medicine will be and surely this works solely on the principle of resonance (physics pure and simple),and I do not need to access except for purely historical reasons Samuel’s own views on this principle. My own research using Potentised Sound , remedies which I made some 7 years ago and have led me to experiment with the effects of potentised sound leads to the simple conclusion that remedies represent complex frequencies and the closer the match to the individual the faster the effects of the remedy on that individual. In other words individuals vary in terms of their band width (like broad band and narrow band on the internet) and some individuals have a narrow band of engagement and therefore need precise remedies, others have a broader band and therefore polycrests will work well on such individuals. Single or complex remedies make little difference because the action of the remedy still acts as a single remedy as the wave forms of the complex remedy just create a new remedy, this has been observed using again single sonic remedies and combining in various ways. The minimum dose just represents just enough of the correct resonance for that remedy to act on that individual. The point I am making is that I do not need to value except for historical reasons Hahnemann’s complex views on how the vital force works etc they can be superseded very simply by physics. The other aspect about his article is his discussion of the various methods of finding the remedy which is only covered by his first cardinal aphorism. Similar Cures similar ! This aspect or perspective ultimately involves the study of hermeneutics which can be quoted from the Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics) as denoting the study of theories and methods of the interpretation of all texts and systems of meaning. In other words the investigation and interpretation of a diseased state is an extraordinary complex multi-textual exercise which can be taken from a multitude of perspectives. Yet the reason why I care about homeopathy is that all such interpretations must still be judged by the criteria of effectiveness and speed of action and recovery. So there are ethical criteria by which you can judge a good or bad prescription and these empirical criteria are first and foremost how I judge the effects of a remedy. The closer the frequency match to the diseased individual the better the speed of recovery of that individual (I think as homeopaths we can all agree on this maxim ) which again entails only one approach to homeopathy !! finding the simillimum. In searching for this we have little option except to use the kingdom approach and this is not because it is fashionable but surely the only way to access the overwhelming amount of material which one has to play with if one wishes to find that frequency. It is an exercise and I quote from my article mentioned above In this endless search for the best remedy we are now overwhelmed
with the rapidly increasing pace of information which can be accessed
at our fingertips through the internet. It is in processing information that we now need to study how to practice homeopathy which why I had no option except to pursue ‘The Kingdom Approach’ or why I have called that approach the ‘Neoclassical approach’ it was this or complete insanity!! I would also like to make one further point because David Little obviously has a profound grasp of Samuel Hahnemann’s writings and other historical figures, I again do not have any problems studying them for historical purposes but we live in the 21 Century and so we must change and evolve with the present ‘zeitgeist’. This brings me to my final point in studying Hahnemann, we have inherited an enormous amount of baggage from his time especially the theory of miasms to which David refers to on many occasions but do we need them!!! Samuel Hahnemann had and prescribed sixty remedies when they did
not work he used miasmatic theory, the Neoclassical homeopaths do
not seem to refer very much to miasmatic prescribing and in my own
practice a remedy is a frequency, that remedy works why do we even
need miasmatic theory !!! -------------------------------------------- THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR FEEDBACK Send us your feedback, views, comments and suggestions
