April 10
Being a hardcore scientist, I never believed small sweet white pills can cure illnesses, its His philosophy which when practiced yielded clinical outputs with efficiency more than one.
It’s his vision of cure which is still the same for centuries to come where generations of antimicrobial have become obsolete.
I look not only towards patients but even to petty issues raised by people with an unprejudiced vision which is fine tuned by His philosophy.
Being a scientist by nature I simply cannot ignore positive (curative) clinical outputs patient after patient, simply because principles of modern physics and chemistry are incapable of explaining cure where His logic can explain me why the pills cured patients.
It’s only His courage ‘dare to be wise’ gave me strength to face the criticism of so called modern scientists.
He is none other than Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the father of great science – Homoeopathy.
All those who are trying to invent a logic of homoeopathic cure to camouflage the gaps in modern physics and chemistry celebrate 10th April the birthday of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.
Dedicated to memories of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.

Introduction
When we read controversial reports in news papers calling homoeopathy hoax, placebo therapy, hope therapy and so on I feel pity on the pseudo scientists who compile and publish such reports in the mass media. All those who are threatened with the fact that despite of spending 10+ clinical years they could not cure a chronic disease as against that a homeopath could cure a chronic disease. With that threatened sense I suppose such pseudo scientists conduct flaw-full clinical studies and come out with such pseudo-papers which the blind mass media pick up to give glorified viewership to satisfy allopathic giants. Such reports are insulting to patients who have been relieved of their chronic suffering with a potent, scientific homeopathic system. Such reports do not insult homeopaths at all. I sincerely request all such who are involved in doing such pitiable acts to spare mankind as without homeopathy the suffering would increase manifold. Yet I have full respect for the modern science and allopathic treatment. I feel each sciences has its pros and cons and should respect each other and be allowed to take maximum benefits by patients to relieve their sufferings rather than criticizing on other pathy. This article is to throw light on such psudo-scientific reports that are insulting patients who have been cured with homeopathic treatment.
My Story – journey from wrong perceptions to reality
“Being a hardcore scientist, I never believed small sweet white pills can cure illnesses, its His philosophy which when practiced yielded clinical outputs with efficiency more than one.”
While taking admission to the medical college way back in 1986 the sick thought I had in my mind was that will take admission to the Homoeopathic Medical College and after completion of the course, I will practice allopathy. I use to stay on the hostel at Dasara Chowk, Kolhapur since being born and brought up at Vile Parle, Mumbai, India. After completion of first year appeared for the First BHMS university exam. During the vacations post-university exams I came back to home. At home wall painting work was going on and two three painting workers were busy painting the walls of our residence. Since I was a new ‘intruder’ they were curious who I am. When introduced by my parents as a medical college student one of the workers approached me for taking treatment for chronic pain in abdomen at the epigastric region (pit of the stomach). I told him that I am just a first year student and he should see a gastroenterologist. He told me that he has seen all specialists, super-specialists, alternative therapist, and done all sorts of treatment including application of bibba. Bibba application is in rural areas of India they make a hard seed hot and apply the hot seed to the painful area. A weird way of treating pain, yet it prevails. I was in a fix now, as he was curious to take homeopathic treatment since he has heard about homeopathy for the first time. I felt very safe as I was convinced that homeopathy do not work and I am safe giving him ‘placebos’ in the form of a homeopathic drug. Yet I thought will give him a remedy as far as scientific I can at the first BHMS level. With that wrong perception about homeopathy that the potent medicines are simply placeboes I prescribed him a homeopathic remedy to be consumed for five days. After giving him the remedy I left for Kolhapur as we had results to be declared and came back after 4 days. The moment he saw me he hold my feet and started respecting me as his God since the remedy had cured him. I was very much disturbed why such an elder person him holding my feet and respecting me so much just because the white tiny sweet pills looking like sago cured him of the chronic pain he was suffering from for so many years put together. The incidence was a big crackdown of the wrong perception I had about homeopathy.
Being scientist from heart I started thinking, if I can treat successfully one chronic pain sufferer with limited first BHMS knowledge of Homeopathic Materia Medica I had I should not ignore this outcome and must investigate all the literature on homeopathy. My task to criticize homeopathy for the sake of creating a platform to practice allopathy after graduation became tough. Started reading homeopathic philosophy voraciously. The target was by hook or crook criticize homeopathy left and right and start allopathic practice. In the mean time the clinics at CPR Hospital started and got a chance to go through the prescriptions, allopathic management of chronic diseases. Attended clinics / OPD / IPD of doctors qualified as MD, MS, MRCP, DM, and so on. While I was reading homeopathic philosophy and simultaneously witnessing the dead end treatment offered by highly qualified yet rational allopathic doctors working a Honarary at CPR and Savitribai Hospital Kolhapur realized there is no dead end in Homeopathic Treatment. Fortunately the homeopathic philosophy never gave me loose ends to start criticizing homeopathic system left right. It was then I realized the powerful system that has full potential to cure chronic diseases to relieve sufferings of the mankind. The first painter worker at first BHMS level was an eye opener. Changed my decision after passing out and started homeopathic practice.
While I was in 12th standard in 1985-1986 I have learnt concept of efficient machine which says that higher efficient is the machine when the calculated efficiency nears 1. The formula given for calculating efficiency was:
Efficiency of a Machine = Output divided by Input
In case of homeopathic treatment what I have observed in my rational practice since 1993 is that the out come of the homeopathic treatment is more than the input. For example one of my patients who were suffering from piles, fissure and fistula was advised to undergo surgery. Since fistula is a structural disease where an additional canal from anus to the perineum is created and the discharge drains out of the opening even I felt that it needs to be operated what dynamic homeopathic remedies has to do with a surgical disease. Yet it was the first patient a decade back who wanted me to treat him homeopathically despite of knowing my opinion that a surgical disease needs surgery, who gave me courage to treat a surgical disease. And to my surprise he was completely cured of the disease. In such cases when I compare the cost and risk of surgery to which the patient might have been exposed is saved with homeopathic medical treatment. Many such cures lead me to say that the efficiency of homeopathic treatment is more than one, if I have to apply concepts of Physics to homeopathy.
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s Vision
“It’s his vision of cure which is still the same for centuries to come where generations of antimicrobial have become obsolete.
I look not only towards patients but even to petty issues raised by people with an unprejudiced vision which is fine tuned by His philosophy.”
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann 1755 – 1843 wrote the theory of chronic diseases and wrote homeopathic philosophy. However what he wrote during his time may be called as homeopathic treatment algorithms in today’s time. In practice we could still relate his theory / philosophy to patients of modern times. As against that we witness generations of antimicrobials being prescribed by our allopathic counterparts. The recent threat of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis is a classic example of failure of antimicrobials / antibiotics. Such failures of the so called scientific and so called evidence based science lead us to conclude that its not the external cause that needs to be treated but the internal weakness in terms of low immunity needs to be effectively cured.
Science and Pseudo-Science
“Being a scientist by nature I simply cannot ignore positive (curative) clinical outputs patient after patient, simply because principles of modern physics and chemistry are incapable of explaining cure where His logic can explain me why the pills cured patients.
It’s only His courage ‘dare to be wise’ gave me strength to face the criticism of so called modern scientists.
He is none other than Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the father of great science – Homoeopathy.
All those who are trying to invent logic of homoeopathic cure to camouflage the gaps in modern physics and chemistry celebrate 10th April the birthday of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.”
Right since my childhood delivery of a scientific innovation always fascinated me. I feel very pity at the reports that are published in mass media by the pseudo scientists against homeopathy. I really feel astonished that why such people are deliberately ignoring the homeopathic cures? Just because the modern physics or the modern chemistry talking in terms of molecules, nano particles is not able to explain medicinal properties in the homeopathic remedy? I feel if we relate this to the fact that the then world did not questioned Isaac Newton that the concept of gravity is hoax simply because we can not see gravity with either by naked eye or through a mechanical gadget. Similarly why these so called scientists are ignoring experiences of 1,00,000+ patients who have been cured with homeopathic treatment. Just because their protocols fail to document? Why can’t they accept the fact that they need to develop yet another machine / gadget to document medicinal powers of homeopathic medicines. Its not failure of homeopathic system but rather it’s a failure of modern physics and chemistry that it has come to a dead end that its not able to answer that why are the homeopathic medicines curing chronic diseases patients after patients. On the other hand the logic written in homeopathic philosophy by masters such as Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, Dr. J. T. Kent and so on can easily tell us how the patient is going to respond to the homeopathic medicine. Hence my advice to all pseudo scientists is to do not ignore the fact that patients have been cured with homeopathic treatment and keep exploring the gadget that can capture the medicinal activity of homeopathic medicines. It will be a true exploration for the best interest of the human suffering.
It’s the beauty of Dr. Hahnemann’s vision that he knew all the time such pseudo-scientist are going to have hue and cry against homeopathy, hence he gave courage to homeopathic scientists with his line “Aude Sapere” which means dare to be wise. This line gives a lot of courage to a true homeopath to sustain the false criticism and keep delivering cures after cures for chronic diseases leading to suffering of the mankind.
I respect all those who are practicing homeopathy and are trying to bridge the gaps in modern science that is unable to explain and record the homeopathic medicinal activity yet we practicing homeopaths have huge compilation of cured case who are enjoying absolute health and are not require to take any medicines what so ever to achieve highest productivity in their day-to-day living.
