- Dr S.K.vashisht B.sc, d.h.m.s THREE SENTENCES FOR GETTING SUCCESS: A) KNOW MORE THAN OTHER B) WORK MORE THAN OTHER C) EXPECT LESS THAN OTHER - WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR Magnetium Phosphoricum Are you aware of the enormous role that magnesium plays in your body, even more critical than calcium? Magnesium is essential in catalyzing over 300 different biochemical processes necessary for proper body function. It regulates the absorption of calcium, potassium and sodium. It plays a key role in energy production, digestion, muscle and bone function, cell production, and in the functioning of the heart, kidneys, adrenals, brain and nervous system. It is a critical nutrient for optimal health, and yet as many as 90 % of us may be magnesium-deficient! Magnesium deficiency causes imbalance in the body. It is responsible for fatigue and the inability to sleep, lack of energy, muscle tension, cramps and twitches, headaches, backaches and heart problems. It can cause depression, excessive wo...

- Muzumdar K P. The proving was conducted on two groups of provers one coming from Bengal and the other coming from Mysore. Jugal Kishore's proving was conducted on the subjects of Delhi. Considering the disturbances, the climatic condition, the food habits, environmental differences, and temperamental variations, it is very significant to not that very minor alteration three places. All these provings were conducted on double blind method, which exhibits the near identical nature of reactivity of the provers to the drug on trial irrespective of the variations of environment, food habits, temperament etc. Also these provings were conducted between 1970-73 Ray's fragmentary proving was done in 1919. The time spasm of approximately over fifty years has not materially changed the symptom data. These two important points establish the validity of the Hahnemannian concept of drug proving as the reliable source of studying the drug activity and its therapeutic ...

by MUZUMDAR K.P Unlike in the allopathic medicine where the latest discoveries in the field of pharmacology are applied to assess the effects of drugs on the organism in Homoeopathy the principal method of ascertaining the positive effects of drugs is provings. This has been followed ever since Homeopathy was founded in 1798 by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. Though the basic concept of drug proving has remained the same from the time of Hahnemann and Drysdale to date, some modifications have taken place in the procedure and working plan depending upon the changes in the mode of thinking and experience in the art of scientific investigation. The concept of human pharmacology is slowly gathering momentum. The experiments on animals apart from exposing the broad and general effects of the drugs, their toxicity etc., have not fully proved useful and reliable in determining the therapeutic potentiality of the drug especially on the human being. Drug Proving on the healthy hum...

- Muzumdar K P. Cysts of Giardia (+). 's methodology was followed with a slight modification In order to obtain a cross section of the populace of the country-two units were selected, one in West Bengal and another in Mysore. This gave us the opportunity to study the variations effecting, in any, due to constitutional, temperamental and climatic differences and also due to changes in food habits and other environmental factors. In all forty provers and twenty controls were selected from both the sexes of different age groups ranging between seventeen years and fifty years. This selection was done after medically examining the provers. Routine blood, stool, urine, blood, chemistry was done to understand their state of health. A complete history sheet for each prover was maintained. Only those who mere found in apparent good health were taken up for proving the drug. The Project officer of these units were asked to send the names of the fin...

-S.Hahnemann It will be found that the so-called beneficial effects which coffee drinkers attribute to this beverage, to justify their habit, are nearly all reducible to palliative reliefs against certain sufferings. Now, the continual use of a palliative medicament being a very injurious thing, the daily and dietetic use of such a thing is, without contradiction, the most pernicious of all. If I esteem the virtues of coffee, I do so only in relation to its medicinal employment. This enjoyment consists: 1. In the property curative application of this substance against chronic diseases, the symptoms of which have a great resemblance to the primary effects of coffee.(* It may be that some one unaccustomed to coffee suffers from a disease composed of the following symptoms. Of a frequent necessity of going to stool with non-painful soft evacuations; of sleeplessness; of a state of irritation and extraordinary activity of body and mind; finally, of a want of appetite an...
