AV: I did promise. I don’t know how exactly to put it but the evolution of homeopathy will probably take a quantum leap, not a gradual evolution. For the time being we are struggling with the ‘medicine of the future’ in the old paradigms and it just doesn’t fit. People who try to prove homeopathy as genuinely scientific, waste their time and energy, whenever they define science in its contemporary obsolete definition. There is no way back. We shouldn’t -------------------------------- 36 Hahnemann called the state provoked by a homeopathic remedy ‚an artificial disease‘. -------------------------------- try to squeeze the new into the smaller and limited concepts of the old.

Is that all there is? Case management in Homeopathy

-    Anne Vervarcke, ' Homeopathy Strange Rare and Peculiar,'  http://www.thewhiteroom.be/Books.html   www.thewhiteroom.be (AV= Anne Vervarcke   AvdM= An van de Moortel) AvdM: We covered the whole field of what can happen after the remedy. I will put forth as important: first a clear assumption of the kind of case you have in front of you, a realistic prognosis, all conditions for a healing setting fulfilled from all sides. This leaves us with case management. AV: Although it is a crucial part of the treatment it is hard to elucidate it theoretically. That is why I do cases in public and demonstrate it on the spot. It is quite easy to argue with your students why you would give this or that remedy, but with the patient coming back in front of the same group with intervals of two months, four months, six months later and one year later, it is a whole different story. That is the moment of truth! It is where you prove your analysis was false or right, it is ...

At that time my neighbour rushed into my home saying that his wife is suffering from a severe pain in abdomen and she is complaining of reeling sensation.

Menorrhagia and Homoeopathic approach

Image
- Dr Sunitha Devi Vannemreddy. - Consult doctor at , drsunithavannemreddy@gmail.com Menorrhagia  is an abnormally heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals. Menorrhagia can be caused by abnormal blood clotting, disruption of normal hormonal regulation of periods, or disorders of the endometrial lining of the uterus. Depending upon the cause, it may be associated with abnormally painful periods which is called Dysmenorrhea. Menorrhagia, are the most common type of abnormal bleeding from the uterus. Periods are considered heavy if there is enough blood to soak a pad or tampon every hour for several consecutive hours. Other symptoms of a heavy period can include: • Night time bleeding that requires getting up to change pads. • Passing large blood clots during menstruation. • A period that lasts longer than seven days. In severe cases, heavy menstruation can interfere with sleep and daily activities. Blood loss from heavy periods can also lead to anemia, cau...

The remedy - Some Homeopaths will argue that the one remedy for the patient is a delusion and doesn't exist.

-  -    Anne Vervarcke, ' Homeopathy Strange Rare and Peculiar,'  http://www.thewhiteroom.be/Books.html   www.thewhiteroom.be (AV= Anne Vervarcke   AvdM= An van de Moortel) AvdM: Let’s talk about the conditions to be fulfilled on the side of the remedy. It doesn’t seem too difficult to define these since the remedy must be the perfect match, the similimum and given in the right potency at the right time. AV: Precisely. Some homeopaths will argue that the one remedy for the patient is a delusion and doesn’t exist. I can live with the description of ‘the best suitable remedy that is similar to the vital sensation.’ If all these conditions are fulfilled, the basic requirements for healing are there. The entanglement between these three, homeopath, patient and remedy, will create or optimize the conditions to be cured. This also means that if one is missing, we don’t have a homeopathic cure. AvdM: Isn’t it logical that without a remedy, there is no cu...
