Wishing for Homeopathic Hospitals

EDITORIAL – June 2016

Homeopathic hospitals are one of the most important symbols of homeopathy’s potential and success. That’s why Pharma, through its surrogates in the UK, contrived the defunding and closing of homeopathic hospitals there. For the same reason, the medical cartel in the U.S. managed, over a period of years, the closing of one hundred American homeopathic hospitals.

In India the situation is different. Homeopathy, rather than being maligned, is nurtured. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently expressed his desire to expand homeopathic services. That supportive atmosphere has allowed many fine hospitals to flourish, such as Shree Mumbadevi Homeopathic Hospital in Mumbai, Dhawale   Memorial Rural Homeopathic Hospital, Palghar, and Aditya Homeopathic Hospital and Healing Center in Pune. They treat everything from serious emergencies and acutes to difficult chronic ailments.

In 1995, the eminent Dr. Amarsinh Nikam founded Aditya Homeopathic Hospital and Healing Center in Pune. Today it is an 80 bed facility which treats ailments ranging from acute pericarditis, myocardial infarction, acute renal failure and acute appendicitis, to Multiple Sclerosis and brain tumors. It has the distinction of treating emergency and life-threatening cases using only classical homeopathy.  Dr. Nikam stated, “In our hospital we use no injections, intravenous saline transfusions and other things that people take for granted in a hospital ward.”  While not relying on allopathic medicines, the hospital does employ all state of the art diagnostic tools

In an allopathic hospital, injury or death can easily occur from medical errors, hospital acquired infections or side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Whenever I, or anyone I love have been in an allopathic hospital, I’ve wished that we could be magically transported to one of those homeopathic hospitals. What a relief it would be, to be in a sane and caring place, where doctors actually listened to symptoms and feelings and would value, rather than discount, anything rare or strange.  How comforting to be in a hospital that made medical decisions based on the patient’s welfare, rather than raising revenue for the hospital or avoiding litigation. How much safer it would feel to be treated according to homeopathic truths, rather than Pharma lies.
