I am re- reading Rudi Verspoor's interview for the third time.
His discussion of Heilkunst is rich with ideas and deserving scrutiny.

Thank you for that enlightening interview with Rudi Verspoor. The
development of noetic organs of perception parallels Rudolf Steiner's
view that one could develop their perceptual ability to grasp knowledge
independent of sensory experience. A thoroughly mind expanding interview.

Dear editor,
I have been receiving your Ezine 'Homeopathy 4 Everyone' regularly
every month and reading each and every article with wholehearted
interest as well as undeviating attention. In this issue also I
found almost all the articles very interesting and informative.
But Rudi Verspoor's statement-'Even the "masters" admitted
that success was at best 10-15%, what then could a mere student
and apprentice hope to accomplish?"'is ineffably shocking.
I want editors Dr. Bhatia's as well as Alan Schmukler's comments
whether this statement of Rudi Verspoor is true and based on facts.
I personally do not agree with his remark. In my own practice I
have been observing 90% success through homeopathic system of medicine
for the last 38 years, what to say about masters. I also want to
know from Rudi Verspoor the rate of success through Heilkunst. Such
type of statements attract non believers to attack Homeopathy, such
as the one presently going on in U.K. If editors have no comments
over this matter, there will not be any use of giving feedback on
any article, so I am waiting for editors' comments.
- DR. G. C. PANDEY.
Rudi Verspoor responds:
First, I didn't say that that was the
success rate with homeopathy, but only what I know from my
own evidence was stated by two well-known masters.
Second, there is no standard that I know of to measure success
rates other than the one that Hahnemann established, namely
to cure, to remove disease and to make people sound (gezond),
which is a state of no disease.
Third, we know from Hahnemann's own experience with homeopathy
predominately between 1796 and 1816, 20 years, that he considered
that homeopathy alone was successful in removing the secondary,
pathic diseases, but as he discovered to his dismay, not at
all successful - indeed, a dismal failure - at removing the
deeper, primary, tonic diseases, in particular the chronic
miasms.
So, success has to be defined according to the complex nosology
set out by Hahnemann, and then the treatment, in a logical,
sequential pattern, for all the diseases identified in the
patient based on that nosology, not just the removal of symptoms,
as Hahnemann also made clear that absence of symptoms does
not mean absence of disease.
I have never met a practitioner who claims publicly less
than 90% success, and each certainly can have a basis for
this, in that 90% of the diseases identified by him have been
removed, or at least the symptoms have been removed (which
is often seen as success), but then what about all the diseases
not seen by the practitioner because of limits to knowledge?
As Hahnemann demonstrated quite clearly in his Chronic Diseases,
the problem is always a conceptual one, in being able to get
the biggest picture of disease(s) possible. That is the measure
of success, as with a system of principles for prescribing
as set out by Hahnemann, once the disease is identified, the
correct remedy follows from that diagnosis.

---------------------------------------------
The first homeopathic prescription I ever received was a nosode
and it was prescribed by an old and very experienced homeopath.
Since then I find that many homeopaths are shy about using nosodes.
Rudi Verspoor suggests treating the fixed diseases first, but this
idea seems to have been lost.

Dear Dr Manish Bathia
A comment about Rudi Verspoor's article who I find very interesting
and I will find out more about it. Yes it is very important to
understand the patient and listen carefully what the problems are.
You have to ask yourself- is it a case for homeopathy or not?? Is
the
patient using allopathic medicine and getting a secondary medicine
disease?
You have to listen and also use your eyes to find out what person
you
have in front of you. I want to tell you about a case: a man
visited my practice and he was in a bad temper. He used a lot of
drugs.
I felt that the story he gave me wasn´t right. So instead
of giving
him homepathic medicine I talked to him and then I used "Reiki-
healing". After about three meetings I found out the man was
a liar.
Suddenly on our third meeting he starts to talk about the real problem-
he wants a divorce and he has found another woman. He was so afraid
what people around him would
say if he leaves his wife and five children. Therefore he hides
behind all this drugs and shows a bad behavior instead. When he
tells
me the true story and could talk about what burdens, him he feels
much
better and could do what he has to do. I dont think a homepathic
medicine was the right thing here. First of all he must tell the
true story
and then stop taking the drugs.
I saw the case Rudi Verspoor talks about in his article, the man
with
arthritis who drank too much coffee and no water. The article says
he
must take away the coffee and start drinking water instead. (maybe
he
could drink a little cup of coffee, it is good isn´t it?)
Yes , we
must look to a persons lifestyle and explain what he has to change.
Heilkunst looks interesting and I shall take a look at their site.
Thank you for sharing and for your article by Rudi Verspoor.

Your introduction to agro-homeopathy was an eye opener . When I
see plants in my garden with spotted leaves or otherwise ill looking,
I now have a new tool to deal with it. I like the repertory and
materia medica. What a wonderful project!

Homeopathy for Plants opens up a whole new and exciting area of
exploration that may yield major benefits for agriculture. Who knows
the boundries of homeopathy? Let the research continue. Perhaps
it will shed light on the secrets of homeopathy. Thanks Hpathy!

a disease what people are most afreid of.And people who gets cancer
are so helpless. I found interest alsou reading the very many ways

Hello,
I know I'm behind in reading your e-zine issues but in just getting
halfway
through the May issue I have really enjoyed it so far. I'm a Homoeopathic
student in Sydney Australia and about to start student clinic next
month. My
aim is to continue reading current articles from journals and newsletters
such as yours, to keep abreast of new ideas, research and the like.
Please keep up the great work and I hope to be up to date with
my reading
very soon!
Regards,
Angela

Hi,
I have to tell that I am particularly pleased to have the article
by Dr. Cyril
Smith. This helps me to make 'connections ' between what I know
of acupressser and
homeopathy far more clearly.
Your publication is of great help to me as I am somewhat cut off
from other
homeopathic doctors by age and circumstances, but my mind is ever
keen to learn. It
helps me to help others who come my way from time to time.
Again a very sincere thank you to you for your work,
Take care,
To your good health,
Pat McCabe

Many many great wishes for you for promoting homoeopathy at this

I greatly appreciate your work and efforts and would like to help
you in this regard, if i may be needed.

Dear Sir,
Namaskar.
Thank you very much for the July 2008 issue of H4E. I have started
reading
it.
Thanks again for publishing two of my letters in the Feedback section.
In
the second letter, there are nearly 20 typographical errors (relevant
portion attached, highlighting the errors).
In this connection I would like to say the following:
1. This feedback is just sharing my feelings with you, the Editor.
It is
actually a Forum where I am sharing my views with all your readers.
2. In a wonderful ezine like yours, these errors stick out like
black spots
on a clean white shirt, marring the beauty of it.
3. They test the patience of the readers and drive them away from
the
letter, before the complete the reading.
Hence I would request you to kindly request the person who proof-reads,
to
pay a little more attention and ensure that such errors are not
repeated.
Hope you do not mistake me for this letter.
With warm regards
Yours truly, Suri

Dear Sir,
Thanks to hpathy editors for publishing 'Tips and secrets'. It
is most wanted item listed in the police station of homoeopathy.
The tips based on the experience of individual homoeopaths is nothing
but abstract of hard work done by them. Once I was invited by a
college of Chennai and first thing I was to lecture on was 'my tips'although
I was to lecture on a different subject. Tips are actually secrets
of a homoeoapth to fetch success and they may not be related to
the theory. Naturally I shall be sending my tips to Dr. Alen Schmukler
to benefit the fratenity. Thanks once again and keep it up with
your excellent of compliation of wonderful articles.
Dr. Shiv Dua

Professional homeopaths are too busy and will probably not be able
to investigate agro-homeopathy. That leaves it up to us amateur
blokes to try and see where it goes. This could be a solution to
our increasingly chemicalized food. Is there a revolution in agriculture
lurking behind this idea?

The question and answer colomn of Dr.G.V is indeed very good. The
answers given by Dr. GV are very useful. I am here with the following
suggestion: A panel of expert Homeopaths ( Invovlving various areas
such as mind, heart, genetalia, ortho, genereal, bones and nerves
etc for example ) may be constituted which could help the memberes
and readers a great deal by offering their expertise in their fields.

Dear Editor,
Thank you very much for the article "Role of Homeopathy in
Deaddiction" It is very informative can be applied in practice.
I have reports from practicioners where Avena Sativa worked very
well in cases of drug addiction. Some other articles on Homeopathy
in gardening (book presentation) are less valuable as they only
give very vague information and there are more questions arising
than there are solved.

Martha Greiner-Jetha

Great informative site - thanks for all the good work!

I had sent my feedback long back. However I am much impressed by
the article by Dr. Alan Schmukler on tips. It is very useful article
for all practitioners. Actually tips are secrets of the practioners
that some doctors do not desire to reveal out of trade jealousy
but this degrades the homoeopathy.All the tips found in practicemust
be revealed to the fraternity. For example, I have found in my practice
that almost 70 to 80 percent of cases of suppressed menses are restored
by use of Pulsatilla 1 M two doses at the interval of one hour.
In the case of abdomen pain on empty stomach, Anacardium is the
sure shot and if the pain is after eating, Abies.N is useful. People
know it but hesitant to use these medicines due to lack of confidence.
Thanks

I Did NOT receive the July issue. I only subscribed a couple of
hours ago.... I had a look on the web and browsed through......
- Give me a 'couple of months' to actually *_read_* everything.....,
and I'll give you my feedback....! So far: it looks quite good,
you have a number of very interesting case histories presented.....,
but to read through all of them... will take time, at least for
those who have other things to do as well (beside reading...)

Still learning the site. not sure if Q&A section by George
V. was helpful, it appears that all of his answers state that he
could not help w/o more info, (which is understood), or that they
needed to read his book or listen to his lectures. Maybe he could
ask them questions that could lead them, and fellow readers, to
the answers they need. Seems to ave not real thought content in
this section.

THE ARTICLE ON DEADDICTION AND ON TEMPERAMENT IS MARVELLOUS.
WITH REGARDS;

I really enjoy access to the information in Homeopathy 4 Everyone.
I
have used homeopathy for almost 20 years as I have raised my children.
I
have had two homeopathic doctors who have helped me in my studies
and
the treatment of my kids.
I find that the material in your e-newsletter is so dense I cannot
always get through it, but I try. I always learn something new.
I like
the depth and breadth of all the articles. I appreciate the variety
of
educated and well supported opinions that are presented.
I consider life long learning one of the things I need to do in
order to
keep my brain healthy and flexible. I am glad Homeopathy 4 Everyone
is
there for me. I am sorry I don't have anymore specific comments,
but
something is usually better than nothing.

Hi,
I really enjoyed the article on homeopathy and de-addiction you
had in this
month's magazine.
I was wondering if you could do a synopsis on using homeopathy
in
Alzheimer's Disease and/or dementia, which is becoming quite a problem
here
in the U.S.
Thank you,
Niki Galiano, Pharm.D.
----------------------------------------
Thank you for such interesting articles. I love the practical ones,
like Miranda Castro's in a previous edition. This month I was particularly
interested in 'Homeopathy for plants' as we are in danger of losing
our whole garden by the dreaded Honey Fungus. On another topic,
I wondered whether your readers have discovered the book 'Punk Science'
by Dr Manjir Samanta-Laughton, I couldn't put it down - it ties
modern physics, Quantum theory , Black hole principle into spirituality,
healing and energy healing. A riveting read!
Keep up the good work. Lynne.
-------------------------------------------------
Heilkunst as presented by Rudi Verspoor seems to offer solutions
to the often low rate of success in homeopathic cases. The use of
isodes to clear a case confused by drugs, or looking for maintaining
causes in the patient’s life style are not unknown
methods, but homeopaths are guilty of seriously underusing them.
I congratulate Hpathy for continuing to present a wide spectrum
of ideas. Sam Leach - U.S.

You are doing a great job Keep going.

Dear Editor,
Going down memory lane, when I was a student of homeopathy in
the Madras Presidency Homeo Assn, I remember my professor Dr. Koppikar,
who was quite famous as a homeo doctor, saying that homeo medicines
can be effectively used for both animals and plants for all ailments
and gave us real examples of such cures in his own practice.
