I see facebook not as a place of fun or leisure. I consider it as a serious and effective WORK PLACE. I make hundreds of posts and comments daily on my facebook timeline, discussion groups, pages as well as on twitter, as part of my endeavor to evolve and promote MIT concepts of scientific homeopathy. My friends, who come on face book only occasionally, and those who are able to spend very limited time here, may miss most of my updates. There are also many late comers in my growing friends list. There may be also some people willing to read some of my posts again and again. In order to ensure my works are secured for future use, and to make them easily available for everybody any time, I regularly compile my face book posts and updates into large volumes. So far, four volumes have been compiled.

Not only allopathy, but all ‘medical systems’ except homeopathy use ‘molecular forms’ of drugs as therapeutic agents. Homeopathy uses only ‘molecular imprints’. That is what make homeopathy something ‘special’.
Molecular forms of drugs can act on biological molecules, and hence can produce unexpected off’target molecular inhibitions. That is why they produce dangerous side effects and chronic ‘drug-induced’ or iatrogenic diseases. Any ,edical system that uses ‘molecular forms’ of drugs poses this danger.
Molecular imprints contained in potentized homeopathic drugs act only on pathogenic molecules having specific conformational affinity. They cannot interfere or prevent the normal interactions between biological molecules and their natural ligands. As such, they cannot produce any off-target biomolecular inhibitions, or produce any side effects or ‘drug induced’ disease. That is why homeopathy is 100% safe.
Obviously, homeopathy is the only safe medicine! Homeopaths should learn to explain this ‘biochemistry of homeopathic safety’ to their patients and to the whole world!

Sir,
Sub: Appointing a sub-committee for considering the viability of MIT concepts- requested- regarding
I have been proposing a scientific hypothesis regarding a scientific model for biological mechanism of homeopathic therapeutics, which is known as MIT concepts.
Homeopathy cannot advance further as a medical science without accepting MIT concepts as an integral part of its theoretical and practical framework, because it is the most perfect, rational and scientific explanation for homeopathy.
MIT is not ‘just another’ brand or school competing for appropriating a share in the homeopathic market, already saturated with and spoiled by various commercial brands and schools. MIT is only a scientific explanation of homeopathy. An advanced phase in the historical evolution of homeopathy.
According to MIT concepts, active principles of potentized drugs are MOLECULAR IMPRINTS or HYDROSOMES, which are nanocavities engraved into water-ethyl alcohol supramolecular matrix through a peculiar process called POTENTIZATION. Potentization actually involves ‘host-guest’ molecular interactions exactly similar to that is commonly utilized by polymer chemists in preparing molecular imprinted polymers. Only difference is, homeopathy uses water-ethyl alcohol mixture as imprinting medium, where as polymer chemists use polymers.
Any potentized drug contain diverse types of molecular imprints representing diverse types of individual constituent molecules being part of drug substance used for potentization. By acting as ‘artificial key holes’, these individual molecular imprints can bind to specific pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity, there by relieving biological molecules from pathological inhibitions they are subjected to in disease conditions. This is the exact biological mechanism of homeopathic cure.
I have written hundreds of articles explaining diverse aspects of this concept, which are attached herewith
You can also see my facebook pages where these concepts are actively being discussed as well as my blogs
I would request CCRH to urgently consider MIT concepts seriously. A sub-committee of experts should be appointed to look into its viability and implications, and recommend future course of actions and research projects on MIT. I shall be always available to co-operate without any personal reservations or interests, if you ask me to do so.

MIT is not ‘just another’ brand or school competing for appropriating a share in the homeopathic market, already saturated with and spoiled by various commercial brands and schools. MIT is only a scientific explanation of homeopathy. An advanced phase in the historical evolution of homeopathy. A new approach. A new perspective. Nothing else.
Vested interests and prejudices of influential people may create hurdles and delay its universal acceptance for some time, but it is inevitable that it should happen. MIT will be the future homeopathy. Wait and see.

Oxford Dictionary defines homeopathy as : “A system of complementary medicine in which ailments are treated by minute doses of natural substances that in larger amounts would produce symptoms of the ailment”.
Homeopaths also define homeopathy as a therapeutic system that cures diseases with “small doses” of drug substances which could produce similar symptoms in healthy people when used in “large doses”.
If you think over it deeply, you will realize that these definitions are factually incorrect. How can you define potentized drugs as ‘small’ doses of ‘drug substances’, when they are diluted to such an extent that there cannot be even a single drug molecule present in them?
A homeopathic preparation diluted above avogadro limit- above 12c- cannot be called a ‘small’ dose of drug substance. They are actually ‘NO DOSES’ of drug substances, since they contain not even a single drug molecule. There is no ‘drug substance’ in them to call ‘small doses’.
You cannot logically explain this phenomenon of curing with ‘NO DOSES’ of drug substances unless you understand and accept ‘MIT’ concepts. THEN ONLY YOU CAN DEFINE HOMEOPATHY CORRECTLY.
Once you understand and accept MIT concepts, you can define homeopathy confidently as “a therapeutic system that cures diseases using molecular imprints of drug substances which could produce symptoms similar to the disease in healthy people when used in molecular forms”.
———————————————————————–
I would request our ‘miasmatic experts’ to read carefully what hahnemann said in Organon : Aphorism 204(Sixth Edition):
“If we deduct all chronic affections, ailments and diseases that depend on a persistent unhealthy mode of living, as also those innumerable medicinal maladies caused by …the irrational,… persistent, harassing and pernicious treatment of diseases often only of trivial character by physicians of the old school, most the remainder of chronic diseases result from the development of these three chronic miasms, internal syphilis, internal sycosis, but chiefly and in infinitely greater proportion, internal psora”.
What does this statement of hahnemann show?
This statement shows, hahneman did not consider ALL chronic diseases as ‘miasmatic’, as our respected ‘interpreters’ of the master have been teaching us all through these years.
According to the above statement, master says that ‘all chronic affections’ ‘that depend on persistent unhealthy mode of living’ and ‘innumerable medicinal maladies’ are NOT ‘miasmatic’.
As per this definition, most of the ‘chronic affections’ originating from occupational, environmental, nutritional, drug-induced, faulty life styles and such others that belong to the class of ‘persistent unhealthy mode of living’ and ‘innumerable medicinal maladies” are outside the purview of MIASMATIC ANALYSIS.
————————————————————————————————————
Skeptics claim to have ‘proved’ homeopathy does not work, by conducting ‘mass experiments’, where potentized drugs were taken by hundreds of persons in public, without producing any ‘effects’. According to them, they have ‘disproved’ homeopathy’!
Skeptic friends should know, whether homeopathy works or not cannot be proved or disproved by ‘mass administration’ experiments. Such experiments only demonstrated that skeptics do not know what exactly homeopathy is. Fundamental thing they failed to understand is that potentized drugs can produce any ‘effects’ on individuals only if they are indicated by symptoms. That means, there should be some symptom ‘groups’ exising in the individual that are exactly similar to the ‘symptom groups’ produced by by the drug during homeopathic ‘drug proving’ and compiled in the materia medica.
It will be difficult for skeptics to comprehend this fundamental fact of homeopathy, unless they understand that potentized drugs are so much diluted that they do not contain any drug ‘molecules’ as allopathic drugs.
In ‘Chronic Diseases : Para 139’ Hahnemann says:
“Sucklings never receive medicine; the mother or wet-nurse receives the remedy instead, and through their milk it acts on the child very quickly, mildly and beneficially”.
There are many homeopaths who use this method for treating infants, and they say it works.
If similimum selected for a patient (infant) could be administerd to another healthyindividual (nurse), and if the drug will act on the patient through the breast milk fed by the nurse, it raises many questions regarding basic assumptins of homeopathy.
I wonder what if we collect the breast milk of the nurse after administering the drug, and then bottle feeding it to the infant. Will it produce a therapeutic effect?
If potentized drugs could be delivered through breast milk of a nurse, that means the ‘active principles’ of potentized drugs consist of SOMETHING ‘material’, that could travel to the milk through blood circulation of the nurse. It disproves our belief that potentized drugs act through ‘nerves’, as there are no nerve cells present in blood or breast milk.
What if we collect the blood of the nurse after medication and transfuse it into the infant? It should work, as the active principles of medicines will be present in blood, it it has to be transferred to the breast milk.
In fact, hahnemann’s advice to administer similimum to the infant through breast milk of nurse seems to undermine some of our beliefs which are considered to be BASIC principles of homeopathy.
Comments please………

Active principles of potentized drugs are MOLECULAR IMPRINTS or HYDROSOMES, which are nanocavities engraved into water-ethyl alcohol supramolecular matrix through a peculiar process called POTENTIZATION. Potentization actually involves ‘host-guest’ molecular interactions exactly similar to that is commonly utilized by polymer chemists in preparing molecular imprinted polymers. Only difference is, homeopathy uses water-ethyl alcohol mixture as imprinting medium, where as polymer chemists use polymers.
Any potentized drug contain diverse types of molecular imprints representing diverse types of individual constituent molecules being part of drug substance used for potentization. By acting as ‘artificial key holes’, these individual molecular imprints can bind to specific pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity, there by relieving biological molecules from pathological inhibitions they are subjected to in disease conditions. This is the exact biological mechanism of homeopathic cure.
Obviously, molecular imprints contained in potentized homeopathic drugs have no any action up on a living body if pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity to them are not present there. That is why potentized drugs do not produce any ‘change’ in normal people participated in the ‘mass administration’ experiments conducted by skeptics. As such, those experiments do not prove or disprove anythi g about homeopathy.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
By regularly publishing hundreds of blog articles and conducting non-stop facebook discussions, I have been trying persistently to explain my MIT concepts, which proposes a scientific model for the biological mechanism of homeopathic cure, potentization and chronic miasms.
Not a single day passes for me without posting at least one article explaining my concept of ‘molecular imprints therapeutics’ and exploring its implications upon homeopathy.
Without even reading what I have laboriously written about homeopathy, or trying to understand anything about the ideas I am talking about, some friends jump in and ask me to “prove” MIT!
How can I prove my scientific concepts of homeopathy to somebody who does not know or is not willing to learn supra-molecular properties of water?
How can I prove my concepts to somebody who does not know or is not willing to learn the subject matter of molecular imprinting technology?
How can I prove my concepts to somebody who does not know or is not willing to learn the modern biochemistry and molecular biology?
How can I prove my scientific concepts of homeopathy to somebody who does not know or is not willing to learn advanced concepts of enzyme kinetics and molecular level pathology?
My request to those who ask for ‘proof for MIT concepts’ is, kindly update your basic knowledge in the topics I discuss. Then only you can follow these concepts. Then only I can ‘prove’ molecular imprints concepts to you.
Once you acquire the background knowledge and then read my articles, you will see that everything I say is simple ‘proved’ science, and only very little remains to be ‘proved’.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Why homeopaths do not realize how ridiculous it is to claim that homeopathic medicines contain a ‘spirit-like force’, independant of their material existence and properties? A ‘force’ that could be transferred from bottles to bottles, dissolved in water and alcohol, adsorbed on to sugar pills, and acting ‘dynamically’ upon the ‘vital force’ when applied on tongue? An ‘immaterial drug energy’ that is dissipated and lost by heat, magnetism or electricity? Do you think we can engage a science-conscious elite community of 21st century by talking these nonsense theories and pretending to be ‘ultra-scientific’? Do you think you can convince these foolish ‘theories’ to anybody who knows at least a high school level science lessons?
—————————————————————————————————————
Explain and prove the biological mechanism of homeopathic cure in scientific terms, if you want to claim homeopathy is a MEDICAL SCIENCE.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Dear homeopaths, while talking about ‘immaterial’ ‘spirit-like’ ‘dynamic healing power’, ‘liberated’ through potenization, which can be carried in corked bottles and swallowed as sugar pellets, you should be aware, how much homeopathy become a laughing stock in the eyes of scientific community.
——————————————————————–
There cannot be a ‘spiritualistic’ or ‘non-materialistic’ SCIENCE. There cannot be a DYNAMIC, SUPERSTITIOUS or OCCULT science! Science is always MATERIALISTIC, if you are using the term science in its SCIENTIFIC meaning. Science is always RATIONAL.
There cannot be a SPIRITUALISTIC medical science. You may practice a ‘spiritualistic healing art’ if you are inclined to do that. But you have no right to call your FAITH HEALING and SPIRITUAL HEALING as medical science. If you are practicing DYNAMIC healing, you can call yourselves as a HEALER- do not claim you are a PHYSICIAN.
You can talk about ‘spiritualistic’ PHILOSOPHY if you want. You can nurture ‘non-materialistic’ BELIEFS. That is your right. But you cannot call all those BELIEFS as SCIENCE.
—————————————–
LIFE without a body that LIVES? THOUGHTS without a brain that THINKS? Sensations without a nervous system that SENSES?
Force without a particle that carries the force? Motion without something material that moves? Volume without a mass?
Vital force without biochemical vital process? Miasms without a molecular basis? Disease without molecular errors? Dynamic medicinal energy without a medicinal substance? Cure without a material biological mechanism?
Unless homeopaths get themselves out of these superstitious notions, they cannot understand what RATIONAL SCIENTIFIC HOMEOPATHY means.
——————————————————————————————————————–
So called FAITH HEALING and MIRACLE HEALING also work by a process similar to PLACEBO, by inducing the production of ENDORPHINS in the body, which produce a temporary reduction in ‘sensation of pain’ by inhibiting the biological receptors on nerve cells, and also producing a feeling of well being. It is not CURE.
Continued exertions, acupuncture, yogic relaxations, praying, breast feeding, sexualsatisfaction, laughing, satisfying foods- there are a lot of such factors identified to be inducing production of endorphins in our body, which produce the feeling of exhilaration and happiness by acting upon the opioid receptors on neurons, thereby reducing ‘pain sensations’. It is part of an adaptive mechanism of organism for coping with stress conditions.
Any placebo effect is associated with production of endorphin in the body.
Other than placebo effect, potentized drugs selected as similimum can induce production of endorphins only if their natural production was negatively affected by some pathological conditions caused by some molecular inhibitions.
Potentized similimum can cure the pathological effects of off target actions of endorphins such as ‘depersonization’ symptoms.
NOTHING MYSTERIOUS ABOUT ‘FAITH HEALING’!
What ever be your BELIEF, my point is there should be a BIOCHEMICAL PROCESS happening in the BRAIN OF THE PATIENT for a ‘faith healing’ to happen. Such a biochemical process may be induced by the production of some endogenous molecules due to the influence of some PHYSICAL SIGNALS entering the body through his SENSE ORGANS, or some chemicals released in the body by a neurochemical process being part of AUTO SUGGESTION.

The term ‘molecular imprints’ represents a whole class of ‘artificial binding sites’ prepared by using a process of ‘host-guest’ interactions in supramolecilar chemistry. Already there are ‘molecular imprinted polymers’. MIT explanation of homeopathy describes potentized drugs in terms of ‘molecular imprinted water’. In the near future, a whole new range of molecular imprinted substances are expected to come into existence, such as molecular imprinted nucleic acids, molecular imprinted proteins, molecular imprinted lipids, molecular imprinted sugars etc.
To avoid the chances of confusing with other molecular imprinted materials when talking about active principles of homeopathic drugs, I think we have to coin a more specific term that would specifally mean ‘molecular imprinted water’.
I would suggest a new term ‘hydrosomes’ for ‘molecular imprinted water’. The term HYDROSOMES means ‘cavities of water’, which is ideal as ‘molecular imprinted water’ is actually considered to be three-dimensional ‘nanocavities’ engraved into a supra-molecular matrix consisting of water and ethyl alcohol molecules.
Let us say active principles of potentized homeopathic drugs are HYDROSOMES, which means ‘molecular imprinted water.
Homeopathy is HYDROSOME THERAPY.
——————————————————————————————————-
Thinking is a material activity that involves chemical interactions of biological molecules in our brain. Sensations, emotions, love, hate, grief, sorrow, happiness, pleasure, jealousy, anxiety, worry, anger, calm, expectations, despair, dreams, delusions, moods, dispositions, decision making, understanding- everything we call MENTAL have a BIOCHEMICAL PROCESS behind it. Chemical molecules and physical stimuli entering the body through drugs, foods, sense organs and environment can influence and modify these biochemical processes.
When endogenous or exogenous pathogenic molecules inhibit any of the biological molecules involved in these processes, molecular errors happen in our brain, which are reflected through abnormal mental symptoms.
Molecular imprints contained in potentized drugs can bind to specific pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity, thereby relieving the biological molecules from molecular inhibitions. Normal biochemical processes are restored in the brain, and the abnormal mental symptoms disappear. This is the biological mechanism of mental symptoms their homeopathic cure.
—————————————————————————————————————————
What we call STRESS is actually ‘molecular errors’ in the neuro-endocrine system, produced by endogenous or exogenous pathogenic molecules, OR, biochemical effects of ‘physical’ stimuli upon the nervous system entering through various SENSE ORGANS. Such molecular errors induce cascading effects in different biochemical pathways in the organism, resulting in diverse types of MENTAL and PHYSICAL ailments. All these are MATERIAL phenomena.
———————————————————————————————————
Once a SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS is formulated, we have to PROVE it by scientific methods so that it will be elevated to the status of a SCIENTIFIC THEORY.
In order to PROVE a hypothesis, first we have to frame certain PREDICTIONS on the basis of the given hypothesis which could be then verified by scientific experiments. If the PREDICTIONS are proved right by experiments, the hypothesis consideredPROVED. This is the SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
MIT proposes a scientifically viable WORKING HYPOTHESIS for biological mechanism of homeopathic therapeutics, that could be presented as a candidate for verification according to scientific method. I need the involvement of my friends in the present phase of framing appropriate predictions that could be scientifically verified for proving MIT HYPOTHESIS. If you have understood the essence of MIT concepts, and got an idea of what are the essential points to be verified for PROVING it, kindly suggest some logical PREDICTIONS to be experimented.
———————————————————————————————————————————–
The phenomena we call VITAL FORCE is actually the effects of complex MATERIAL biochemical molecular processes happening in the living organism. Once these molecular processes cease, vital force also cease to exist. Concept of a VITAL FORCE that ‘animates’ the body, ‘rules’ the vital processes, leaves the body during death, and exists ‘free’ from material body is the contribution of pre-scientific SPIRITUALISTIC philosophy.
MIND is nothing but the functional product of neuro-chemical interactions happening in BRAIN and central nervous system. SENSATIONS are the chemical processes in nervous system produced by external or internal physical stimuli. DREAMS and DELUSIONS are the products of chemical processes happening in neurons in the brain. DISEASES are molecular errors happening in essential biochemical pathways. MENTAL SYMPTOMS are reflections of of molecular errors in the brain. CURE is the removal of molecular errors. DEATH is the complete irreversible disruption and stoppage of vital biochemical processes.
THERE IS NOTHING ‘IMMATERIAL’ IN LIFE, DISEASE, CURE- AND IN HOMEOPATHY.

My work on ‘miasms’ started from two basic convictions:
Firstly, I am convinced that infectious diseases have life-long residual effects on our organism, producing chronic constitutional disease dispositions.
Secondly, I am convinced that any disposition, disease, sensation, mental condition, emotion or constitutional tendency will have a material, ‘molecular level’ biochemical basis underlying it, and a biological mechanism through which it is executed.
Begining with hahnemann’s observation that ‘miasms’ are chronic disease dispositions produced by infectious diseases, I wanted to know the molecular level material basis of miasms, and the biological mechanism by which they produce chronic diseases.
My inquiry was, how can an infectious disease produce ‘residual effects’ in the body even after the infection is over. What remains in the body that can produce such a residual effect?
One thing common to all infectious agents are that all of them introduce some chemical molecules of protein nature into the host, which act as antigens and lead to the production of ‘antibodies’ or immune substances that help the body to fight the invading infectious agents.
Antibodies are native globulin proteins imprinted with antigens, and can bind to the specific antigens by conformational affinity. These antibodies remain in the organism even after the infection is over.
It is these antibodies generated in the organism against specific infectious agents, that produce ‘residual effects’ which hahnemann called miasms. Antibodies circulate in the body, and can bind to various ‘off target’ bilogical molecules such as receptors and enzymes, producing molecular inhibitions in various biochemic pathways. They produce many chronic pathological conditions we call as ‘auto immune’ diseases. Antibodies can even bind to enzymes involved in biochemical processes of genetic expressions, producing phenotype changes in constitutions. It is these phenotype changes that underlie the dispositions we call ‘miasmatic constitutions’.
I have identified the material level molecular basis of ‘miasms’, and explained the biological mechanism by which they produce ‘chronic disease dispositions’. I think my work has contributed in the scientific advancement of hahnemann’s concept of miasms, thereby making it fitting to the modern scientific knowledge system. I have shown that masm is not an unscientific belief, but a scientific fact.
———————————————————————————————————————————————-
Modern ‘miasmatic experts’ ignore the fact that no where hahnemann talks about miasms unconnected with ‘infectious diseases’. If you read ‘chronic diseases’ carefully, you will realize that hahnemann considered miasms ONLY as ‘chronic disease dispositions’ produced by infectious diseases. He says very specifically that PSORA is the miasm of INFECTIOUS ITCH, SYPHILIS is the miasm of SYPHILIS INFECTION, and SYCOSIS is the miasm of FIGWARTS/GONORRHOEA infection.
It is the later ‘interpreters’ who disconnected miasms from infectious diseases, and started to explain miasms as ‘constitutional dispositions’, ‘genetic inheritence’, ‘original sin’, ‘mental make up’ ‘deviated vital force’ and such things, thereby creating all confusions now known as ‘miasmatic analysis’.
———————————————————————————————————————————————
If you really want to study hahnemann’s concept of miasms, and to understand my scientific explanations for it, you should start by carefully reading ‘chronic diseases’. You will be gravely misguided if you try to learn miasms from the works of later interpreters known as ‘miasmatic experts’- they have hijacked hahnemann’s original idea to make it fit to the nonsense theories and methods they propagate. They are confusing the whole homeopathic community with their futile intellectual pretensions and obscurantism in the name of ‘miasmatic analysis’, masking their own ignorance and confusions by playing with complex phrases meaning of which even they fail to understand.
——————————————————————————————————
What is the ESSENCE OF HOMEOPATHY?
Filtering out the speculative and philosophical parts of organon, ESSENCE of Similia Similibus Curentur could be summed up in scientific terms as:
“Molecular imprints of drug molecules can cure diseases caused by pathogenic molecules having functional groups similar to the drug molecules, so that the molecular imprints can deactivate the pathogenic molecules by binding to them due to the complementary conformational relationship. Molecular imprints having conformational affinity for the pathogenic molecules are identified by observing the ‘similarity’ of disease symptoms and drug symptoms, since drug molecules and pathogenic molecules having ‘similar’ functional groups can bind to similar biological targets, producing ‘similar’ molecular errors and ‘similar’ train of symptoms.”
—————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Any substance of PROTEIN nature, alien to the genetic code of a given living organism can act as MIASM when it enters into the system, by generating antibodies that can bind to ‘off-target’ biological molecules and produce pathological molecular inhibitions. Bacteria, virus, vaccines, body fluids of other animals, venoms, biological toxins, deformed proteins or any other substance of protein structure that do not agree with the genetic code of the host can act as miasms. Hahhnemann studied only ITCH, GONORRHOEA AND SYPHILIS, since those three infectious agents were most rampant in europe during his time, causing many chronic disease conditions in the population. Hahnemann never said miasms are ONLY three.
——————————————————————————————————————————————–
Miasm of PSORA is the term hahnemann used for the life long ‘chronic disease disposition’ caused by antibodies formed in the body gainst Infectious agents of itch’. These antibodies can produce diverse types of pathological molecular errors in variois essential biochemical pathways by binding to ‘off-target’ biological molecules such as enzymes and receptors, thereby causing diverse types of constitutional derangements and chronic diseases. Most of the diseases we call ‘auto immune diseases’ are actually caused by PSORA.
——————————————————————————————————————
Once scientific community realizes that homeopathic potentization is a process of ‘drug designing by molecular imprinting in water’, and ‘molecular imprints’ contained in potentized drugs work by acting as ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathogenic molecules due to their specific ‘conformational affinity’, homeopathy will be universally recognized as an advanced branch of modern MEDICAL SCIENCE.
———————————————————————————————————–
Every one has an intellectual barricade with in his mind! A barricade of strong rock-like prejudices, convictions, beliefs and world out look formed through long course of learning and life experiences.
Any new idea that contradict the existing convictions will be stubbornly resisted.
It is a very difficult task for me to break the intellectial barricades of homeopathic minds, and convince them something about the scientific basis of homeopathy that goes against what they believed to be ‘ultimate truths’ so far.
Now I am into that highly challenging task – bit by bit, inch by inch, day by day forward. Like the legendary stone cutter of esop’s fable, I would keep on striking, until finally the stone is crushed to pieces by a last stroke.
And I know, every seemingly futile single stroke made earlier matters a lot in making the final stroke a success- final break will be the cumulative effect of every earlier strokes.
That knowledge keeps me going with my work!
——————————————————————————————–
According to my view, drugs belong to two categories:
1. MOLECULAR FORMS- crude drugs, mother tinctures, triturations and potencies below avogadro limit or 12 C belong to this category. They act by their chemical properties exactly similar to allopathic drugs. Use of drugs in molecular forms cannot be considered homeopathy.
2. MOLECULAR IMPRINTS FORMS- drugs potentized 12c and above. These drugs are diluted above avogadro limit, and contain only molecular imprints of constituent drug molecules. They act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity, thereby removing pathological molecular inhibitions of biological molecules. Genuine homeopathy uses only molecular imprints forms of drugs.
Any potency above 12C contain only molecular imprints, and they act similar way. Ideal potency is 12c. . I use 30C, since 12c is not freely available in market.
Once you understand MIT concepts, selection of potency ceases to be an issue, if you have selected the right drug.
————————————————————————————————————————–
Many homeopaths produce excellent results by making right prescriptions by observing and studying symptoms, and then INTERPRET those cases publicly in very incorrect and prejudiced ways, in order to justify some or other methods they are very fond of. They want to establish their success as a success of the particular ‘methods’ they follow- not as success of homeopathy. They ‘publish’ their cases to promote their ‘methods’- not to promote homeopathy. Followers of predictive, sehgal, sankaran- all those people use this tactics for promoting their particular schools. They will talk about ‘digging out deep sensations’, ‘themes’, ‘miasmatic background’, ‘mind remedy’, ‘kingdoms’, ‘periodic table’, ’embryonic layers’ and such things depending upon their ‘schools’. One thing common to them is, they will not say they prescribed by ‘totality of symptoms’.
Homeopathic prescriptions should be based on TOTALITY of symptoms. PHYSICAL and MENTAL. GENERAL and PARTICULAR. MENTAL symptoms, especially if they reflect an ABNORMAL state of affairs in the organism, is very important. But we should not ignore ABNORMAL physical symptoms also. Molecular level errors in the organism are expressed through PHYSICAL and MENTAL symptoms. TOTALITY approach is the most reliable and perfect homeopathic approach, even though even a SINGLE ‘specific’ mental or physical symptom acting as ‘key notes’ may lead us to a remedy in rare occasions.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————
Can there be a homeopathic contraceptive?
POTENTIZED DRUGS cannot work as contraceptives. CONCEPTION and PREGNANCY are natural PHYSIOLOGICAL processes. Molecular imprints contained in potentized drugs cannot prevent normal interactions between biological molecules and their natural ligands.
————————————————————————————————-
From MIT perspective, a PERFECT SIMILIMUM, is a drug that contains ALL the diverse types of chemical molecules that could have produced during drug proving ALL the diverse types of molecular inhibitions and symptoms exactly similar to the patient we prescribe for.
Such a drug in potentized form would contain ALL the diverse types of molecular imprints required to remove ALL the diverse types of molecular inhibitions in the patient.
If the selected drug does not contain ALL the diverse types of molecular imprints required for the patient, it will be PARTIAL SIMILIMUM only.
In such cases, we can make it a PERFECT SIMILIMUM by combining two or more PARTIAL SIMILIMUMS together as indicated by the symptoms, so that our prescription would contain ALL the diverse types of molecular imprints required to remove ALL the diverse types of pathological molecular errors in the patient, thereby producing a TOTAL CURE.
According to MIT view, even a substance we consider ‘SINGLE DRUG’ is not really single, if it contains more than one type of ACTIVE UNITS that act on different biological targets. Once we realize and accept this scientific fact, we need not worry about ‘single drug/multiple drug issue.
—————————————————————————————————————————
Did you see the Hpathy interview of Peter Chappel? He is an ‘international’ homeopath who markets downloadable ‘mp3 files of homeopathic drugs’ to be played in poultry farms to prevent/cure ‘bird flu’!!! He ‘records’ the ‘vibrations’ of potentized drugs in mp3 format, which when ‘played’ in poultry farms will prvent and cure bird flu by ‘resonance’!
He markets ‘homeopathic mp3 files’ for AIDS also! And he says a lot of research studies conducted in africa have proved that they cure HIV very effectively. He had sent cds of potentized drugs haiti to treat cholera epidemic there!
I personally requested Dr Manish Bhatia to be a little selective and principled in highlighting this type of people promoting unscientific ideas in homeopathy, as Hpathy is seen by homeopaths as a reliable reference source. But he said, until we prove so, nothing could be called wrong or unscientific- every idea has to be given a try.
Tha means, we should not call this ‘mp3’ homeopathy a nonsense, unless we conduct some ‘research’ and prove it is ‘unscientific’! Existing scientific knowledge and common sense is not enough?

“Homoeopathic medicines are effective in injuries. Any type of molecular inhibition results after injuries?”
ANSWER:
Pathogenic molecules may be ENDOGENOUS or EXOGENOUS. In injuries, pathogenic molecules are ENDOGENOUS- if infections did not happen.
A physical INJURY means a DAMAGE to any tissue. It may be burns, scalds, sprains, strains, fractures, cuts, contusions, bruises, abrasions etc etc. BURNS may be caused by chemicals, heat, radiations or many factors.
In any injury, there is DAMAGE to tissues. CELLS are damaged, resulting in release of of various catecholamines, cytokines, histamines and various CHEMICAL MOLECULES that initiate INFLAMMATORY processes, depending upon the nature of injury and the tissue affected. Various normal conversions and transportation of metabolites are obstructed, and they accumulate in various locations where they inhibit other biological molecules. PAIN, BURNING, SWELLING, NUMBNESS- all abnormal sensations are the effects of INHIBITIONS these ENDOGENOUS molecules produce in different biochemical pathways.
NO doubt, INJURIES are associated with MOLECULAR ERRORS. There cannot be an injury without any molecular error.
If you are asking about MENTAL or EMOTIONAL injury, they are molecular level errors produced by various ENDOGENOUS neurochemicals released in excess into the brain, by the action of various PHYSICAL influences such as auditory, tactile, visual, or olfactory stimuli.
————————————————————————————-
According to the ‘key-lock’ model of biochemical processes proposed by modern science, biological molecules act as ‘locks’, and their natural ligands as ‘keys’.
Pathogenic molecules and drug molecules act as ‘fake keys’ that can mimic the natural keys due to their conformational similarity with the ‘ligands’ and block the ‘key-holes’, thereby preventing ‘natural keys’ from interacting with their legitimate ‘locks’. This is what we call ‘disease’.
‘Molecular imprints’ act as ‘artificial key holes’ fitting to the ‘fake keys’ or pathogenic molecules, thereby preventing them from interacting with the ‘key holes’ of bilogical ‘locks’. By this process, original ‘key holes’ or biological molecules are freed from pathological inhibitions produced by the ‘fake keys’. This is ‘cure’.
Remember, molecular imprints are ‘artificial key holes’, not ‘duplicate keys’. Once you understand the molecular dynamics of this ‘key-lock’ mechanism involved in disease and cure, the whole scientific explanation of similia similibus curentur’ proposed by MIT will be crystal clear for you.
———————————————————————–
Since last five years, after I stumbled upon the idea of molecular imprints, I stopped worrying about selection of potencies, once the appropriate drugs are selected. I use only 30c. I prefer12c or just above avogadro limit, but it is not available for all drugs.
If a drug does not act as i expected, and i am sure my selection was right, I would not change my drug or potency, but would switch on to another sample from another source- same drug, same potency. It will act in most occasions.
I use to collect different samples of same drug same potency from different sources, and mix them together. I have seen it giving better results.
That is why I said, confusions regarding potency would be resolved only when we perceive potentization in terms of molecular imprinting. Any potency above 12c contains only molecular imprints.
The term ‘potency’ is irrelevant from MIT view. Only difference is between ‘molecular forms’ and ‘molecular imprint forms’ of drugs- below 12c and above 12c, or below avogadro limit and above avogadro limit.
Quality of drugs may differ from sample to sample, depending upon source of drug substance, method of potentization, genuineness of potentization, difference in keeping and exposure etc.
—————————————————————————————-
Teachers, seniors and ‘masters’ make young homeopaths believe that administration of incorrect remedies, especially in high potencies, would do grave harm to the patients, and may cause even death. It is warned that our drugs should be handled with great care. By this persisten propaganda, many young homeopaths are too scared to prescribe, lest it may be a wrong prescription, that may kill the patient.
Leaving my theoretical explanations apart, living proofs for safety of homeopathic medicines are those thousands and thousands of individuals treated everyday by homeopaths using wrong prescriptions and stay undamaged!
If potentized drugs could have caused injury or deaths by way of wrong prescriptions, homeopaths would have been so far marked as the greatest criminals in human history- each of us might have by now killed hundreds of innocent people!
If it is true that potentized drugs can do harm, homeopaths would have already harmed a big section of human race by the time being, through our wrong prescriptions! Even you and me make many many wrong prescriptions than right prescriptions everyday, believing that we are making correct prescriptions. Can anybody deny it with a sincere heart?
—————————————————————————————————————–
International homeopathic community is brutally dominated by ‘spiritualists’ and ‘vitalists’ who want homeopathy to remain as an ‘energy medicine’ ‘healing art’.
They are not interested in any scientific explanation of homeopathy, but try to establish that their ‘energy medicine’ theories are ‘more scientific’ and far advanced than modern science. They always talk about ‘limiations’ of science, and ‘science lagging behind homeopathy’. They expect modern science to ‘change’ in a way to fit to their ‘energy medicine’ theories and occult practices. Actually, they do not understand the language and methods of science.
They head professional organizations, academic communities, educational institutions, ‘research’ organizations and policy making bodies. They ‘represent’ homeopathy on national and international platforms as well as ‘academic’ debates. They have hijacked ‘official’ homeopathy.
Only a small minority of homeopaths are really interested in scientific explanations of homeopathy, and capable of understanding scientific homeopathy. With MIT, I am addressing this minority.
———————————————————————————————
According to scientific definition proposed by MIT, ‘similia similibus curentur’ means “pathogenic molecules could be entrapped and deactivated using ‘molecular imprints’ of drug molecules having ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ similar to the pathogenic molecules. Similarity of ‘functional groups’ of pathogenic molecules and drug molecules could be determined by observing ‘similarity of symptoms’ they produce in living organism by binding to ‘similar’ biological molecules and causing similar molecular errors during disease as well as drug proving”.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
MIT explanation of homeopathy is actually very simple and logical, and it should be understandable to anybody who learned at least a high school level science lessons. I fear it is my inexpert way of expressing and explaining my ideas that makes it appear complex and difficult to understand for most homeopaths. I know, the real problem is with my poor english and deficient communication skills. I beg excuse for that.
———————————————————————————————————————————————–
If anybody argue that they can ‘prove’ drugs in ‘high’ potencies, they should be ready to subject themselves to ‘reverse proving’, by way of identifying well known drugs by observing symptoms produced by BLINDLY ‘proving’ them in ‘high’ potencies. Anybody there, please….
———————————————————————————————————————-
Most homeopaths find it difficult to agree with my observation that potencies above avogadro limit cannot produce any molecular errors in the organism, and hence cannot be used for ‘drug proving’.
They ask: “What about our materia medica of many drugs which were compiled from ‘data’ collected by proving”high potencies”?
Did you see the ‘proving data’ of ‘berlin wall’? It was ‘proved’ through ‘meditation proving’. They have compiled a very detailed materia medica of ‘berlin wall’. ‘Proving data’ and ‘materia medica’ of hundreds pf new drugs ‘proved’ by meditation proving, dream proving and trituration proving are are now available, and helios is marketing those drugs. Does it mean those ‘provings’ where scientific, or those symptoms where authentic? Claims of ”high potency’ provings also actually belong that class.
Imaginations, fancies, speculations, placebo effects, drug information from folk medicine, toxicology studies, data collected from accidental exposures, clinically verified symptoms, deductions from biochemistry, allopathic side effects- our materia medica are constituted by all these things. Materia medica are compiled even without any ‘proving’, but on the basis of ‘periodic table’ and ‘kingdoms’! Theories are there about ‘animal symptoms’, vegetable symptoms’ and ‘mineral symptoms’ also!
Another thing is, most of the commercially available ‘high potencies’ are not genuine high potencies as displayed in the labels. Manufacturers do a lot of malpractice by way of marketing very low potencies as ‘high’ potencies. If you use such samples for proving, you will get symptoms, as they contain ‘drug molecules’.
Please remember, IIT B team could detect nanoparticles of drug substances even in 200 c, which means, those samples were actually low potencies below avogadro limit, falsely labelled and marketed as ‘high’ potencies. Did you notice, IIT team even detected that the concentration of nanoparticles were same in 30c and 200c, which means those samples actually belong to same sample of low potency, labelled as 30c and 200c. If they were genuine high potencies, there cannot be a single drug molecule present in dilutions above 12c.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Here is the scientific explanation for my statement “potentized drugs cannot produce any harmful effects”:
MOLECULAR IMPRINTS contained in potentized drugs cannot “interfere in the normal interactions between biological molecules and their natural ligands”. Natural ligands act with their biological targets in capacity of ‘conformational affinity’ as well as ‘charge affinity’, where as ‘molecular imprints’ will have in any case only ‘conformational affinity’ towards ‘biological molecules’. That means, natural ligands will be having much higher affinity to biological molecules, than molecular imprints. That is why ‘molecular imprints cannot interfere in normal biological processes’, and hence, cannot produce ‘pathological molecular errors’. Hope my point is clear.
MOLECULAR IMPRINTS can act as ‘artificial binding sites’ and bind to pathogenic molecules and prevent them from interacting with biological molecules, as molecular imprints have comparatively stronger affinity towards pathogenic molecules having functional groups exactly similar to the drug molecules used for preparing molecular imprints (similimum).
———————————————————————————————-
‘Key-lock model’ is well explained and proven concept in biochemistry, regarding molecular mechanism of biochemical processes. A lot of new generation designer drugs have been developed and successfully used in modern medicine on the basis of this model, which ratifies this model beyond any doubt.
Any model we propose for the biological mechanism of homeopathic drug actions should be fitting to this s
———————————————————————————————————
By ‘pathology’ I mean ‘deviations in physiology’. I am talking about ‘molecular level’ pathology. Any ‘abnormal symptom’- mental or physical- indicates underlying molecular level pathology or ‘molecular errors’. Potentized drugs – above avogadro limit- cannot produce any molecular error. That is what I have been saying.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
Scientific discussions should be done on the basis of scientific knowledge- not ‘what master said’. Knowing what master said is only of academic interest and historical relevance. Whatever hahnemann said regarding various aspects of application of potentized drugs were not based on any scientific understanding of ‘what are the active principles’ of potentized drugs, and ‘how they act’ upon the organism. My opinions are based on the concept that ‘molecular imprints’ of constituent drug molecules are the ‘active principles’, and they act by binding to specific pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity. According to this view, molecular imprints cannot interfere in the normal interactions between biological molecules and their natural ligands. Hence, potentized drugs cannot produce any pathological molecular inhibitions, and as such, cannot do any harm in the living body.
——————————————————————————————————–
What we call ‘mind’ and ‘mental’ are actually the functional products of complex biochemical processes happening in brain and central nervous system. They are not outside the domain of biochemistry involved in vital processes. Mental diseases are actually caused by biomolecular inhibitions and errors happening in brain, exactly same way as any diseases affecting the ‘body’. Most ‘physical’ diseases produce mental symptoms also, by cascading of molecular errors extending into central nervous system. That is why ‘material’ drugs affect mind, and mental problems are cured by ‘material’ drugs.
Psychotherapy actually cures by using verbal, vocal, tactile, visual and such ‘material’ signals, which act upon biochemical processes underlying mental problems. There is nothing ‘immaterial’ in psychotherapy.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
Before claiming ‘homeopathy is medical science’, kindly ensure that you can answer the following fundamental questions, in a way fitting to existing scientific knowledge system. If you evade these questions, your claim is meaningless:
1. What happen during potentization?
2. What are the ‘active principles’ of potentized drugs?
3. What is the exact biological mechanism by which potentized drugs ‘cure’?
—————————————————————————————————————————————
Skeptics think they are born ‘saviors’ of science, and ‘fight’ homeopathy without understanding what really it is. Cassical homeopaths think that they are the only saviors of homeopathy, and’fight’ modern science because they fail to understand it, and fearing that scientific awareness will undermine homeopathy. Both fight with something they really know nothing about.
———————————————————————————————————-
Problem with ‘classical’ homeopaths is that they fail to understand even the basics and language of science, but their inflated egos never accept their deficiencies, and they pretend as if they have inherited from the ‘master’ evey ‘ultimate’ knowledge in this universe far better than the scientists.
—————————————————————————————————-
When I ask for a scientific model for biological mechanism regarding how homeopathy works, it is an INSULT to homeopathy! If anybody declares ‘homeopathy is ultimate science’, and ‘our master is the greatest scientist ever born’, it is a great ‘service’ to homeopathy! Wonderful!!
——————————————————————————————————
Some homeopaths seem to think that they can evade hard questions regarding ‘how homeopathy works’ by talking about ‘evidence based medicine’. For them, ‘evidence’ means their ‘experience of producing results’ – not scientific evidence. They hope to mask their intellectual inertia and lack of of scientific knowledge by declaring ‘we practice evidence based medicine’. They argue, questions such as ‘what is the biological mechanism by which homeopathy works’, ‘what happens during potentization’, ‘what are the active principles of potentized drugs’ are irrelevant, as far as they are ‘producing results’. Anybody practicing occults and woodoo also argue the same way: ‘we produce results as per experience’. They also claim to be ‘evidence based practitioners’.
Homeopaths should practice rational ‘knowledge based medicine’ or ‘scientific medicine’ supported by well proven scientific evidence. Do not be under the false notion that you can fool the science conscious community using play of words such as ‘evidence based medicine’ and ‘experience based medicine’.
——————————————————————————————————————————
Many homeopaths are doubtful whether ‘molecular imprints’ will not be lost by evaporation once medicated pills are dried and kept for long periods. Yet they are showing medicinal action if used when indicated?
Please examine the texture of a sample of medicated pills after keeping it for a few months, and compare it with an unmedicated sample. you will realize, evaporation does not mean globlules returning to original state.
Molecular imprints adsorbed into sugar matrix are not lost by evaporation.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
One of the funny things we frequently hear from ‘classical’ homeopaths is that provers should have ‘predispositions similar to the remedy’ to produce symptoms during proving. Hahnemann’s concept of proving was by giving drugs to ‘healthy persons without any predispositions’. But these people say ‘good provers’ should have ‘predispositions’ similar to the remedy. If a person has ‘predisposition’ similar to a remedy, that means he is not ‘healthy’ as per hahnemann’s standards, and not fit to be a prover
If a person has ‘predisposition’ for a particular remedy, that means he will be already showing some general and mental symptoms of that remedy. He will have a mental set up and constitution of that remedy. How can you attribute those symptoms to drug proving?
If you are ‘proving’ Natrum Mur in a person already with Natrum Mur symptoms and predispositions, how can you say it is a genuine proving, and how can you consider the symptoms reliable, as those dispositions and symptoms were already there before using Natrum Mur?
The simple fact is, nobody can prove drugs in potencies above 12c which do not contain any drug molecules. Only drug molecules can bind to biological molecules, create molecular inhibitions and produce symptoms. You may get some symptoms by giving high potencies, but those symptoms are no way different from symptoms you get by giving a dose of distilled water. You can give a drop of water for proving, and make a big materia medica by recording all symptoms the person says after that dose. That is the way meditation proving, dream proving and trituration proving also produce symptoms.
Earlier our homeopaths come into terms with scientific facts, the better for homeopathy. At least they should stop arguing nonsense theories that obviously contradict scientific knowledge.
———————————————————-
10*23 campaign conducted by skeptics was a classical example of how homeopaths provide arms for skeptics to attack homeopathy. If homeopaths had understood and publicly declared the truth that potentized drugs cannot do any harm or produce any symptoms, as MIT tries to establish, that campaign of skeptics would not have any relevance at all. On the other hand, classical homeopaths wrongly argued that even a ‘single’ drop of potentized drug if taken without indications would cause ‘great harm’. And skeptics clearly proved that homeopaths are wrong, by hundreds of persons publicly consuming dram-fulls of potentized drugs. And it was celebrated as a proof for their claim that ‘there is nothing in homeopathy’!
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
Homeopaths should exhibit some intellectual courage to discard those obviously unscientific speculative parts of homeopathy. They should learn to re-read the works of master and other old ‘stalwarts’ with a historical and dialectic perspective, and stop spinning fanciful nonsense ‘energy medicine’ theories about things they do not really know about homeopathy. They should say we do not know how homeopathy works, until they know how it exactly works. Anti-homeopathic skeptics will get disarmed spontaneously, and become jobless.
————————————————————————————————
“Homeopathy has shown results”- no doubt for us. It may be the “fundamental base where homeopathy stands” as far as homeopaths are concerned. But for an “enlightened modern knowledge society”, our claims of results will not be enough. They will require answers to questions such as “how the results are produced”? We have to provide a ‘scientifically viable’ answer to that question, by explaining the ‘biological mechanism’ behind the RESULTS. ‘Surviving among homeopaths’ is different from ‘surviving in an enlightened modern knowledge society”.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Without providing a direct and convincing answer to the fundamental question what is the MATERIAL FACTOR of potentized drug that forms its ‘active principle’, and without proposing a viable BIOLOGICAL MECHANISM for its therapeutic actions, in a way that could be subjected to validation by SCIENTIFIC METHODS, there is no hope for homeopathy to SURVIVE in an enlightened modern knowledge society.
Simply quoting those dogmatic APHORISMS of master, declaring ‘our master is the greatest scientist’, and poo-pooing about the ‘limitations of modern science’, and constructing some fanciful pseudo-scientific theories will not help any more, other than further alienating and marginalizing homeopathy from mainstream scientific community.
——————————————————————————————
With my experience witho homeopathy for the last 40+years, I am 100% convinced and confident that it works! It is not placebo effect or ‘belief’, but an objective unrefutable truth.
I am also 100% convinced through my 40+ years study of homeopathy in the light of modern scientific knowledge that explanations provided by hahnemann and his followers for homeopathy are totally unscientific and irrational. Nobody for the past 250 years were successful in proposing even a viable working hypothesis for homeopathy,
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Why cant homeopaths understand how foolish it is to imagine a ‘dynamic’ and ‘immaterial’ energy being carried in a corked bottle and kept in a shelf without spreading around in a ‘dynamic’ way? How can there be any ‘material’ or ‘physical’ barriers for a ‘dynamic’ ‘immaterial’ energy to prevent it from escaping from the bottle? How can you confine ‘immaterial’ energy in sugar of milk or sugar pills?
————————————————————————————————————————————–
When saying homeopathic ‘medicines’ are ‘dynamic’, did you ever think whether those two words are compatible or not?
We cannot call something a MEDICINE, if it does not contain any MATERIAL substance. The term MEDICINE refers to something MATERIAL.
Any SUBSTANCE, whether medicine or not, is always MATERIAL. There cannot exist a DYNAMIC or IMMATERIAL ‘SUBSTANCE’. Something IMMATERIAL cannot be called a SUBSTANCE! Something ‘dynamic’ or ‘immaterial’ cannot be called a ‘medicine’. If you believe you are using ‘dynamic energy’ in homeopathy, kindly do not call it a ‘medicine’.
————————————————————————————————————————-
TO ALL MODERN GURUS AND MASTERS IN HOMEOPATHY: If you have nothing to propose about the molecular level BIOLOGICAL MECHANISM involved in homeopathic cure, in a way fitting to the existing scientific knowledge, all your ‘theoretical exercises’ will have to be considered as nothing but cheap intellectual gimmicks.
—————————————————————————————————————————
A lot of confusions we encounter today in homeopathy were actually caused by hahnemann himself by trying to explain ‘everything’ in a bid to make homeopathy a ‘complete’ theoretical system. He should have recognized the fact that many aspects of his objective observations regarding the phenomena of cure were actually beyond the scope explaining using the scientific knowledge available to him during his period. He should have exhibited the moral courage and intellectual truthfulness to leave unanswerblae questions unanswered and open, to be taken up by the scientific community at a later stage. By attempting to manufacture a complete closed theoretical system using the concepts borrowed from philosophy of vitalism and dynamis, he actually closed all the chances of future scientific interventions and updating. That made homeopathy a ‘dogmatic’ system, which has to be blindly believed and followed, without any questions being asked.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
A ‘prominent’ ‘elite’ homeopath from Mumbai commented on my post as follows:
“Mesmerism is also based on law of similars. Vital energy being stimulated by vital energy is Similar”
No sir. Your statement “vital energy being stimulated by vital energy is ‘similar'” has no logic at all. To say it is ‘law of similars’ that works in mesmerism, DERANGED VITAL ENERGY of the patient should be corrected using SIMILARLY DERANGED VITAL ENERGY of another person. That means, ‘mesmeriser’ should be having symptoms exactly similar to the patient. He should not be a ‘person in perfect health’ as hahnemann proposes. Then only you can claim “mesmerism is also based on law of similars”.
——————————————————————————————————————————————–
Those modern ‘masters’ who pretend to be ‘einsteins’ and ‘newtons’ of homeopathy, actually promote totally unscientific theories and practices in homeopathy, with a mask of intellectual and scientific verbosity.
They totally fail to comprehend the biological mechanism involved in homeopathic therapeutics, and hence ignore or avoid that aspect of homeopathic learning in their teachings and discourses.
In the absence of essential scientific knowledge, they try to make their theories appear ‘scientific’ by utilizing some terms from, nanotechnology, quantum theory, embryology and genetics, of which they know nothing except some words.
Playing with scientific vocabulary, they were successful in marketing their theories and methods very profitably, among the ‘science-starved’ sections of homeopathic community.
—————————————————————————————————
Persons considered to be ‘prominent homeopaths’, ‘leaders of homeopathy’ and ‘great teachers’ do big harm to the scientific credentials of homeopathy, by talking totally unscientific theories about homeopathy. Actually, they do more harm to this system than even those anti-homeopathic skeptics, by way of regularly providing arms to the critics to attack homeopathy. Instead of making ‘dynamic’ theories, they should at least show the humility and intellectual courage to say ‘I dont know’ about things they really do not know.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I do not think ‘what hahnemann said’ could be considered as scientific PROOF for everything.

ORGANON OF MEDICINE: APHORISM 293: FOOTNOTE: HAHNEMANN TALKS ABOUT THE QUALITIES IF A GOOD ‘MESMERISERS’:
“Especially of one of those persons, of whom there are not many who, along with great kindness of disposition and perfect bodily powers, possesses but a very moderate desire for sexual intercourse, which it would give him very little trouble to suppress, in whom, consequently, all the fine vital spirits that would otherwise be employed in the preparation of the semen, are ready to be communicated to others, by touching them and powerfully exerting the will. Some powerful mesmerisers, with whom I have become acquainted, has all this peculiar character.”
I ALWAYS WONDER WHY HAHNEMANN INCLUDED THIS STATEMENT IN THE CONCLUDING PART OF A GREAT WORK SUCH AS ORGANON. I AM SORRY TO SAY, IT GREATLY DIMINISHES THE SCIENTIFIC QUALITY AND CREDENTIALS OF THAT GREAT WORK.
—————————————————————————————————————————–
I want to repeat again and again: Mastering the art of CASE TAKING is the only guarentee to successful PRESCRIPTION. Extracting right information from the patient, and CONSTRUCTING as many number of COMPLETE symptoms as possible using that info is what we mean by successful case taking. A symptom is said to be a COMPLETE symptom, when it consists of maximum available number of strong characteristic ACCESSORIES belonging to categories such as CAUSATION, PRESENTATION, LOCATION, SENSATION, MODALITIES and CONCOMITANTS. Even a single ‘complete’ symptom, if it indicates only a single drug, may in certain cases lead us to a reasonable prescription. Case taking is a skill to be consciously developed by individual homeopaths, if they really want to be a successful prescribers.
———————————————————————————————————
MIT concept of homeopathy as a ‘specialized higher branch of modern molecular medicine’ evolves from my understanding of homeopathic potentization as a process of molecular imprinting.
Actually, the study of ‘molecular imprinting’ belongs the domain of Supra-molecular Chemistry. Conventionally, ‘molecular imprinting’ is a technology of preparing three dimensional artificial binding sites for molecules in polymer matrices, which are widely used in many biological assays, molecular separation protocols and many other laboratory applications.
From studying the ‘polymer-like’ behavior of water in its ‘supra-molecular’ structural level, I am fully convinced that water, especially water-ethyl alcohol mixture can also be used as a medium for molecular imprinting similar to other polymers, and the ‘molecular imprints’ thus produced can be safely used as therapeutic agents. They would act as selective artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules. In my opinion, this phenomenon of molecular imprinting is involved tin homeopathic potentization, and the active principles of potentized drugs are ‘molecular imprints’ of drug molecules.
By accepting this scientific definition MIT proposes, ‘potentization’ becomes a branch of modern ‘target-specific drug designing technology’, and homeopathy is raised to the status of a higher branch of ‘modern molecular medicine.’
——————————————————————————————————————-
If a SINGLE symptom is ‘complete’ in itself, being a combination of two or more strong ‘accessory’ characteristics (sensation-presentation-location-causation-modality-concomitant), and if it indicates a SINGLE drug, that symptom could be confidently used as a KEYNOTE symptom. We can locate a lot of such KEYNOTE symptoms from our repertories, which would be very helpful in daily practice.
————————————————————————————
For homeopaths, ‘believing’ is more important than ‘reasoning’ and ‘knowledge’.
Believing the master, believing in vital force, believing in dynamic energy, believing the stalwarts, believing aphorisms of organon, believing unchangeable laws, believing fundamental principles, believing materia medica, believing repertories, believing the patients, believing drug labels, believing the manufacturer, believing the pharmacist, believing in miracles- you are asked to BE A BELIEVER, IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD HOMEOPATH.
I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THIS ‘BLIND’ APPROACH. I WOULD REQUEST HOMEOPATHS TO LEARN, KNOW, ANALYZE, VERIFY, EXPERIMENT AND THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING, BEFORE BELIEVING IN THEM.
————————————————————————————————
You are talking about ‘unchangeable’ ‘laws and principle’ in homeopathy, and declare that they cannot be ‘violated’. Please remember, all these ‘laws’ and ‘principles’ you consider ‘unchangeable’ were made and practiced so far without even knowing what are the active principles of medicines we are using.
Everything we call ‘laws’ and ‘principles’ of homeopathy are pure speculations, evolved from subjective interpretations of experiences.
Nobody really knows what exactly happens during potentization. Nobody knows what are exactly the active principles of potentized drugs. Nobody exactly knows the molecular mechanism by which potentized drugs interacts with biological organism and creates a therapeutic effect. Nobody knows how low potencies are different from high potencies. Everything is based on speculations.
In the absence of advanced scientific knowledge and rational world outlook, our masters interpreted their ‘experiences’ using philosophy of dynamism and vitalism. ‘Laws’ as ‘principles’ were formulated from these unscientific speculations and interpretations. They are bound to change, once homeopathy is explained in scientific terms.
———————————————————————————————————————-
During the 200+ year long history of homeopathy, nobody so far bothered even to propose a scientifically viable working hypothesis about the biological mechanism involved in homeopathic cure, that could be presented as a candidate for verification according to scientific methods.
Hahnemann could not provide scientific explanations for the phenomena involved in homeopathy, due to the historical limitations of knowledge environment available to him. That is understandable and acceptable.
But, what were those ‘faithful disciples’ of hahnemann doing all these years, for explaining and proving homeopathy scientifically? Did they make a single step forward during last two centuries, other than theorizing about the ‘unscientificness’ and ‘limitations’ of modern science? ? Actually they were in the game of making homeopathy appear more and more absurd by talking all sorts of ‘anti-scientific’ and ‘ultra-scientific’ nonsense ‘energy medicine’ theories that contradicts all existing scientific knowledge system. They were talking about ‘miracles’ ‘magics’, and promoting occult practices in the name of homeopathy that no scientific-minded community can agree with.
Even our MODERN ‘newtons’, ‘einsteins’ and ‘gurus’ of homeopathy were only contributing their lot in making homeopathy more and more UNSCIENTIFIC, by talking all sorts of nonsense theories and methods. Their aim was only to market something that will fetch big money into their pockets.
People at our state-nourished high profile ‘research institutions’ were only interested in preparing bills and expenditure vouchers for the huge money they were allotted from public exchequers. How can we blame scientific community for saying homeopathy is unscientific?
——————————————————————————————————————–
Similarity of SYMPTOMS indicate similarity of MOLECULAR ERRORS. Similarity of molecular errors indicate similarity of FUNCTIONAL GROUPS of drug molecules and pathogenic molecules. MOLECULAR IMPRINTS of similar functional groups will be similar in conformation, and they can act as ARTIFICIAL BINDING SITES for any molecules SIMILAR to the molecules used for imprinting. That means, molecular imprints of drug molecules can act as artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules, if their symptoms are SIMILAR.
Similia Similibus Curentur exactly means this biological mechanism involved in High Dilution Therapeutics.
———————————————————————————————————————————–
To combat skeptic attacks effectively, we should make homeopathy scientific. For that, homeopaths should develop a scientific outlook first. At least, homeopathic ‘theoreticians’ should stop talking unscientific nonsense theories about homeopathy. They should learn to say “I don’t know” about things they actually do not know, and start learning some modern science!
FIRST OF ALL, we have to rescue homeopathy from the malignant influence of people promoting unscientific theories and occult practices in homeopathy. Talking nonsense, irrational theories, our unscientific homeopaths do more harm to homeopathy than anti-homeopathic skeptics and scientists.
If we had a scientifically viable and rational theory about homeopathy, no skeptics could have attacked us. It is our deficiencies that make us vulnerable to attacks. Actually, homeopaths who say ‘science is wrong’, as well as skeptics who say ‘homeopathy is wrong’ are two sides of same coin- ignorance.

‘Molecular Imprinting’ Is The Key-word in scientific understanding of homeopathy. If You fail to get it, you fail to understand scientific homeopathy.

Mind is the product of complex chemical interactions happening in brain and central nervous system. Mind does not exist separated from body.
By the term ‘living organism’, we indicate a material system with a specific quantity, quality, structure and functions of its own, which is capable of self-controlled growth and reproduction of its progeny, by accepting matter and energy from its environment. The phenomenon of life exists through a continuous chain of highly complex biochemical interactions which control each other, depend up on each other and are determined by each other.
A ‘living organism’ represents a much higher and advanced level of existence of the same elements of matter we meet in the inorganic world, different only in its structural organization and functional complexity. The universal phenomenon of material motion we find as part of primary existence of matter itself, attains the wonderful qualities of life, due to this complex structural organization. In fact, ‘life’ is the result of a continuous evolutionary process of primary matter in this universe through millions of years, attaining different levels of organizational and functional forms. Primary forces, sub-atomic particles, elementary atoms, simple chemical molecules, complex inorganic molecules, carbon containing organic molecules, bio-molecules, complex bio-polymers, RNA-DNA-Protein structures, organelles, unicellular organisms, multi-cellular organisms, diverse species of plants and animals, and ultimately Homo Sapiens- these are the prominent milestones in the known evolutionary ladder on earth, panning through millions and millions of years. Human beings represents the highest form of this material evolutionary history on earth, as far as it is known to us.Parallel to this biological evolution, we can perceive a systematic evolution and perfection of the nervous system also.
Simple forms of conditioned reflexes that existed in primitive organisms, gradually evolved into nerve cells, neural networks and ultimately into a well organized nervous system in higher animals. In higher forms of life such as humans, this nervous system has attained such a structural and functional perfection that human brain and its diverse faculties have begun playing a decisive role even in the existence and development of that species and even life on earth itself. Of course, collective labor, language and social relations also played a major role in this evolutionary process.
MIND IS THE FUNCTIONAL PRODUCT OF BRAIN. It is wrong to say science cannot explain relationship between the MIND and the BODY. Perceiving MIND as detached from BODY reflects an unscientific world outlook.
———————————————————————————————————————————
According to the view of modern science, a “single” drug is a molecule or ion or ‘functional group’ that can independently interact with biological molecules. Such a molecule or functional group is the active “unit” of the drug substance. If a drug substance contains more than one such biologically active units, capable of independent biological activity, it is a compound drug, not a “single” drug.
It is totally unscientific to say that a drug substance that contain more than one type of biologically active molecules or functional groups is a “single” drug, only because it comes from a “single” natural source, or it is administered as a “single” drug for ‘proving’ or therapeutic purpose. Question is, whether it acts on biological molecules as a “single” unit or “multiple” units.
Hahnemann considered such “compound drugs” as “single” drugs, only because modern scientific knowledge regarding the exact molecular composition of drug substances, as well as molecular mechanism of pathology, therapeutics and biolgical actions of drug substances were not available to him during that period.

In KENT REPERTORY, go to EXTREMITIES: PAIN:
All rubrics for locations, causations modalities, concomitants and extensions etc are elaborately listed under the main rubric PAIN.
Then comes TYPE OF PAINS as follows: Aching, Boring PAIN : Broken, sensation as if, PAIN : Burning, PAIN : Cutting, PAIN : Dislocation, as if, feeling, PAIN : Drawing, PAIN : Gnawing, PAIN : Pinching, PAIN : Pressing, PAIN : Scraping, PAIN : Shooting, PAIN : Sore, bruised, PAIN : Sprained, as if, PAIN: Stitching, PAIN : Tearing, PAIN : Twinging
Under each TYPE OF PAIN, all the modalities, causations, locations, concomitants and extensions are repeated again, very elaborately. It comes hundreds of pages in the repertory, which nobody ever uses, or are used very very rarely.
Actually, TYPES OF PAINS are enough, directly under the main rubric PAIN. All the subrubrics related with other QUALIFICATIONS listed under the main rubric should be applicable to all TYPES OF PAINS.
Such a re-arrangement will by itself reduce the size of repertory by one-third.
SAME HAPPENS UNDER ‘HEAD- PAINS’ also

It is not the ‘drug substance’ as a whole unit that is ‘imprinted’ during potentization. It is the individual chemical molecules contained in the drug substance that undergoes molecular imprinting.
When a drug substance containing diverse types of chemical molecules is potentized, the product will obviously contain all the diverse types of molecular imprints representing all the diverse types of chemical molecules that constituted the drug substance.
When applied as therapeutic agents, it is the individual molecular imprints that bind to specific pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity. Different molecular imprints contained in a same sample of potentized drug act on different molecular targets, on the basis of specific conformational affinity.
That means, potentized form of a drug we normally consider SINGLE is not acting exactly as a SINGLE drug. It acts as a COMBINATION of molecular imprints.

Without a baseline knowledge of biochemistry- especially protein chemistry, molecular kinetics of ‘ligand-target’ interactions, molecular pathology, bio-molecular inhibitions, vital processes, diseases, symptoms, and related topics, you cannot follow the scientific explanation of similia similibus curentur propsed by MIT.
Without a scientific perspective of molecular composition of drug substances, and about the molecular mechanism by which the drug substances interact with biological organism to produce pathological inhibitions and symptoms, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of HOMEOPATHY.
Without a baseline knowledge of latest advances in supra-molecular chemistry such as properties of water and ethyl alcohol, hydrogen bonding, hydration shells, supra-molecular nano-structures, guest-host complexes, molecular imprinting in polymers, molecular self assembly and related subjects, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of potentization in terms of ‘molecular imprinting’.
In the absence of these essential basic scientific knowledge, MIT concepts will fly over your head as ‘playing tricks with words’, and you will go on talking about ‘energy medicine’, vital force, dynamic drug energy, spiritual healing, vibrations, resonance, distance healing and such diverse unscientific and pseudo-scientific things, and continue to make homeopathy and homeopaths a subject of unending mockery and ridicule before the scientific community.
And of course, you will go on declaring homeopathy is the ultimate science, hahnemann is the greatest scientist, and modern science is lagging far behind homeopathy!
—————————————————————————————–
Once you understand the fundamentals of scientific explanation of homeopathy on the basis of ‘Molecular Imprints Therapeitics’ (MIT) concepts, you would realize that there are no more questions and riddles remaining unanswerable in homeopathy.
Nothing remains there in homeopathy that could not be explained and proved using existing scientific knowledge and methods. The era of ‘blind beliefs’ and confusions is over. MIT heralds the dawn of scientific realization and due recognition for homeopathy.

In a bid to beat ther market competitors by projecting the superiority in the number of rubrics and number of drugs, compilers of modern repertories are indiscriminately adding hundreds and hundreds of unverified and unreliable rubrics in their repertories in the guise of ‘clinical proving’. Our repertories have become swellen up with bogus rubrics, making them totally unreliable.
Everybody want ‘biggest repertories’ and ‘largest number of rubrics’. That decides the marketability.
Currently there is no any mechanism to ensure the genuineness of repertorial rubrics. Everything is left to the subjective imaginations and fancies of ‘repertory compilers’, and their business strategies.
There should be an international authority representing professional homeopathic bodies all over the world, entrusted with the responsibility of compiling and updating homeopathic repertories. Each rubric to be included in the repertory should be identified, verified and numbered by this authority. It should be ensured that any rubric in our repertories should bear a unique number allotted by this authority.
This international authority should work in the way IUPAC functions. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is an international federation of National Organizations that represents chemists in individual countries. IUPAC is responsible for Nomenclature and Symbols (IUPAC nomenclature), and is the recognized world authority in developing standards for the naming of the chemical elements and compounds. standardizing nomenclature in chemistry and other fields of science and standardizing nucleotide base sequence code names.
I hope this suggestion would be seriously discussed by the community.
——————————————————————————————————————-
In my opinion, our materia medica and repertories should be updated not only by adding new authentic symptoms and drugs, but also by culling and eliminating all unverified rubrics and drugs. There should be an international body of homeopaths to oversee that work.
————————————————————————————————————————
‘Molecular Imprinting’ involved in homeopathic ‘potentization’ actually happens through a series of processes such as ‘liberation’ of individual molecules from inter-molecular bonds, formation of ‘host-guest’ complexes by a process of ‘molecular self assembly’ or ‘hydration’, production of ‘molecular imprints’ by separating and removal of ‘guest’ molecules from from ‘host-guest’ complexes by strong succussing and diluting, and ‘multiplication’ of molecular imprints through a process of template-induced molecular assembly or ‘nano-crystallization’.

I do not believe that my intellectual achievements are my private personal ‘properties’, and I am not at all worried about its ‘ownership rights’. I freely appropriate any knowledge available to me from any source, and freely distribute to the public whatever knowledge I have got with me.
What ever knowledge you or me possess, we got them from the collective knowledge of human society. Society is the real SOLE owner of human knowledge accumulated through generations. Individuals get knowledge from this accumulated knowledge of society. Education is actually a process of extracting from collective knowledge.
Individuals can utilize the existing knowledge of society available to his reach. Nobody ‘produce’ knowledge from vanity. He can add to the acquired knowledge whatever small new knowledge he can generate through his thoughts and experiences, and then return it into the repository of collective knowledge of the society.
Our saints, prophets, thinkers, visionaries and great scholars of yesterdays did not worry about the ownership of their ideas. They simply gave everything to us freely. We are using their ideas for generating new ideas, then trying to make it our private property, by calling it RESEARCH. We try to convert knowledge into private capital, and accumulate personal make wealth. We hesitate to share knowledge, and make laws to protect our private ‘intellectual property rights’.
I DISAGREE WITH THIS PREVAILING CAPITALISTIC ‘RESEARCH’ CULTURE
My approach to learning is different. I use any scientific material from any sources of knowledge for expanding and explaining my points. I never claim everything i say are my ‘original’ inventions. Actually, I invent nothing. I am only trying to study and explain different aspects of homeopathy using EXISTING SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE. Everything I say are already known to science, only thing I do is to put every pieces into appropriate places to construct a theoretical model to EXPLAIN homeopathy.
I do a lot of ‘copy and paste’ from various sources freely in my articles when I think they will help in explaining my points clearly, without any claim for ‘originality’. I know this method is not allowed in RESEARCH PAPERS submitted for PEER REVIEWS , or submitted for any academic purposes. My articles are not intended to be ACADEMIC research papers, but only attempts of ‘explaining’ my ideas using ‘existing’ scientific knowledge. It is not a crime to use external material in such articles. Only thing you should verify is whether the IDEAS are relevant or not for the points I am explaining.
I don’t think ‘credibility’ is something to be artificially manufactured using certain protocols, formats and peer reviews. CREDIBILITY come naturally, if you are telling TRUTH. If we are saying truth, we need not worry about credibility. Even if I leave my work on MIT where it is just now, it will be gradually recognized as a CREDIBLE model of homeopathy, even without any ‘peer reviews’ and ‘journal publications’. MIT is undeniable TRUTH- its credibility is natural. I am not concerned whether anybody ‘ratify’ my work or not.
I do not consider all ‘peer-reviewed’ and ‘published’ articles represent ‘credible’ TRUTH. There are a lot of ‘peer-reviewed’ research papers published in most authoritative journals, but offering nothing valuable.
I am working on homeopathy not to get a PhD. I am concerned only about exploring the TRUTH of homeopathy. There is a big difference between academic research and real searching for truth- one is ‘research’, and the other is ‘search’.
RESEARCH is guided by the motive of acquiring and owning an INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY that can be converted into money. Intellectual SEARCH is motivated by nothing but insatiable thirst for truth and knowledge.

One homeopath asks: “With all due respect sir, I have a question for you, Should The govt of India allow People who are not trained in Homoeopathy to practice homoeopathy Because they know it?”
ANSWER: NO doctor. I don’t think so. Only QUALIFIED homeopaths should be allowed to PRACTICE homeopathy as professional PHYSICIANS or DOCTORS.
Same time, I think there is nothing wrong in promoting the use of homeopathic drugs as HOME REMEDIES by individuals who know about it, as potentized drugs cannot cause any harm even if used wrongly. Such use will help in promoting homeopathy in large scale, and expanding its reach. I consider it as SOCIAL or COMMUNITY homeopathy. Homeopathic HOME REMEDY KITS containing commonly used drugs and a REMEDY GUIDE in regional language should be made available to every home in our country.
SOCIAL or COMMUNITY HOMEOPATHY it is different from QUACKERY. In quackery, unqualified persons claim and PRETEND to be doctors and PRACTICE as ‘professionals’. Such quackery should be prevented by authorities.
Homeopathic practice in india is governed and regulated by CCH act of 1973. It came into force in 1976 (commencement of act) in almost all states of INDIA.
Those having minimum FIVE YEARS experience in homeopathic practice without qualification as on the date of commencement of act are permitted to continue practice as per Section 15 (3) c as follows:
“Nothing contained in sub section (2) shall affect the right of a person to practise Homoeopathy in a State in which, on the commencement of this Act, a State Register of Homoeopathy is not maintained if, on such commencement, he has been practising Homoeopathy for not less than five years.”
Only those belonging to this category are permitted as per law to PRACTICE homeopathy ‘without stipulated qualifications’.

J T KENT says in Philosophical Lectures : Lecture 37:
“In Switzerland the children have been raised for centuries to the knowledge that it is necessary to make watches perfectly, they have been raised, as it were, in the watch factories.
Now, when Homoeopathy is hundreds of years old, and little ones grow up into the knowledge of it and observe and practise it, our successors will acquire knowledge that we do not possess now.”
What does Dr Kent visualize in this statement? He visualizes a society “when Homoeopathy is hundreds of years old”, where “little ones grow up into the knowledge of it and observe and practice it”, similar to the “children in switzerland” who have been “raised for centuries to the knowledge that it is necessary to make watches perfectly, they have been raised, as it were, in the watch factories”.
Dr Kent visualizes a future society where “little ones” will be “raised” to “observe and practice” homeopathy, and “grow up into the knowledge” of PERFECT homeopathy! He was visualizing our children “observing and practicing” homeopathy similar to the “little ones” of switzerland who were raised “as if it where in watch factories”- his dream was a society where everybody ‘observes and practices’ homeopathy as part of their daily life from childhood!
Does anybody now share the wonderful dream of Dr Kent?
————————————————————————————————————————
Many of my well wishers ask me why I am not submitting MIT concepts before the Central Council of Homeopathy:
Why should I ‘submit’ my concepts to CCH? Do you think they will respond positively towards such a ‘submission’? You should know, most of those in the positions of ‘authority’ have vested personal interests in remaining homeopathy as it is.
They do not like me personally, or my concepts that they fear would initiate a scientific wave that may wipe away their sand hills of fortunes. When I ‘submit’ a paper in front of such prejudiced people, it will be easy for them to silence and ‘finish’ me using their clout and authority, saying “you are not a qualified homeopath, and you are not allowed to do research in homeopathy”.
They will ‘officially’ declare MIT is not homeopathy! That will be a very painful experience for me. Why should I take initiative to place my head into the jaws of such a beast and volunteer to end myself as a prey?
Most of the people at CCH are members in my groups here. They are seeing my posts regularly, every day. Nobody ever comments. If they had thought my ideas were worth consideration, they could have taken it up suo motto and proceed. Or, at least they could have asked me to explain my views to them. That is no happening yet. Once, an additional director from CCRH called me and informed me that they are willing to take up my concepts for research projects. Nothing happened there after. I know why it is so.
If my ideas are right, it will have to be accepted by homeopathic community, whether CCH recognizes it or not. If my ideas are wrong, nobody can help me- it will perish even if CCH authenticates it. Let us wait and see.

Dr Shantha Kumar, a senior homeopath from Colombo, Srilanka, posted on my page:
“When there is poverty of science how could ’eminent scholars and leading Homeopaths’ comment on MIT Concept. only who has a scientific world outlook and belief in dialectical process will be able to understand it easily. parrots which repeats the words of master will not be able to tell any thing new. Real eminent scholars and leading homeopaths who are interested to make homeopathy more scientific, without personal agendas, are with MIT though they have not commented.There are various reason for not commenting.One day all of them openly come out. It is certain.”
———————————————————————————————————————–
It is a futile exercise to quote from organon to ‘disprove’ my ideas. I am not bothered whether aphorisms of hahnemann ‘accept’ or ‘discard’ MIT concepts. I am proposing a SCIENTIFICALLY VIABLE model for biological mechanism for ‘high dilution therapeutics’ involved in homeopathy, based on the latest scientific knowledge existing here, which were not available for hahnemann 250 years ago. Hence, hahnemann cannot ‘accept’ or ‘discard’ my proposals!
———————————————————————————————————————–
If you are talking about a ‘dynamic energy’ that is ‘immaterial’ , ‘spiritual’ and ‘conceptual’, as the active principles of potentized drugs, kindly avoid broadcasting your confusions by ‘explaining’ it using the terms borrowed from PHYSICS such as ‘resonance’ and ‘frequency’. DYNAMIC ENERGY has nothing to do with the scientific concept of ‘energy’ in PHYSICS, which is all about the study of MATERIAL phenomena. ‘Resonance’ and ‘frequency’ are terms used by science to explain certain phenomena involving ‘material energy’. What ever you mean by ‘spiritual energy’, it is not a topic to be discussed on a scientific forum. ENERGY is not something ‘immaterial’- it is just a specific form of existence of MATTER. From scientific perspective, there is no ENERGY without a material particle. Imagining about carrying ‘spiritual energy’ corked in a bottle, and dropping it on tongue of patient is purely absurd.
———————————————————————————————————————–
Homeopathy, as it is learned, taught and practiced today, is not a ‘medical science’ in its real sense. It is only a ‘therapeutic method’. Through MIT concepts, I am trying to raise it into the standard of a MEDICAL SCIENCE- an advanced specialized branch of modern molecular medicine.
Present theoretical system of homeopathy consists of unverified beliefs, contradictory theoretical speculations, stagnant dogmas and insufficiently explained ‘experiences’.
No doubt, ‘homeopathy works’. But, to be a recognized as a science, our claims of ‘working’ is not enough. We should explain and prove ‘how it works’, in a way understandable and acceptable to scientific community, using scientific methods.
I believe I have made a decisive step in this direction, by proposing a scientifically viable working hypothesis regarding the biological mechanism of ‘high dilution therapeutics’ involved in homeopathy. We can prove, HOMEOPATHY IS MOLECULAR IMPRINTS THERAPEUTICS.

SEMINARS are conducted only to make money- it is pure BUSINESS. Share goes to teachers, sponsors, facilitators, promoters, organizers and other associates . If money was not a factor, why those great ‘new hahnemanns’ do not interact with homeopathic community freely on new generation social media, and ‘educate’ them free of cost? They could have formed FACEBOOK groups of thousands of homeopaths, conducted online classes, discussions and seminars- totally free of cost, if their aim is only to ‘teach’ something. It would have benefited the whole homeopathic community.
—————————————————————————————————–
Homeopathic ‘cure’ is not mere ‘removal of symptoms’. It is ‘removal of molecular errors’ that produced the symptoms. Homeopathy cannot ‘remove symptoms’ without removing the underlying molecular errors. There is no ‘palliation’ in homeopathy. What you consider ‘homeopathic palliation’ is actually ‘partial cure’ that indicate ‘partial’ removal of molecular errors, produced by using drugs that are ‘partial similimum’ which did not supply ALL the molecular imprints required to remove all molecular inhibitions existing in the patient.
Actually, homeopaths use ‘symptoms’ only as indicators to locate the exact underlying molecular level pathology existing in the patient, and to identify an appropriate drug which in ‘molecular imprints’ form can remove those molecular errors, through a biological mechanism known as SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR.
‘Similia similibus curentur’ means, ‘molecular imprints’ of drug molecules can remove the pathological molecular errors which are similar to those created in by the drug substances when applied in molecular form upon healthy organism, and expressed through similar symptoms.
———————————————————————————————————————
LET ME PUT MIT CONCEPTS IN A NUT SHELL, FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT:
’Similimum’ is the drug that contains some constituent chemical molecules having ‘functional groups or moieties’ siimilar to those of the pathogenic molecules that caused the molecular inhibitions underlying the particular disease in the patient, and expressed through subjective and objective ‘symptoms’.
Due to the presence of similar functional groups, drug molecules of similimum drug as well as particular pathogenic molecules can bind to same biological target molecules, create similar molecular errors, and produce similar symptoms. That is why homeopathy determines similimum by comparing disease symptoms and drug symptoms.
Potentization is a process of molecular imprinting, by which the 3D conformations of individual chemical molecules contained in a drug substance are imprinted into the water-alcohol supramolecular matrix. Due to complementary conformation, molecular imprints contained in potentized drugs can act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for any pathogenic molecule having molecular conformation similar to the drug molecules used for imprinting.
Due to this conformational affinity, molecular imprints contained in potentized similimum can selectively bind to the functional groups of particular pathogenic molecules and deactivate them, thereby relieving the biological molecules from molecular inhibitions. We call this process as CURE.
This is the molecular dynamics involved in homeopathic therapeutics, which is known as ‘similia similibus curentur’. This is the essence of MIT concepts in a nut shell.
KINDLY READ THIS POST CAREFULLY AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE, AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL THE IDEA IS CLEARLY CONCEIVED. THINK OVER IT, UNTIL CONFUSIONS ARE RESOLVED. DO NOT JUMP IN TO MAKE COMMENTS UNTIL THE IDEA IS PERFECTLY DIGESTED. ASK FOR ANY CLARIFICATION ON ANY POINT. CRITICIZE ONLY AFTER UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS EXPLAINED.
—————————————————————————————————————————
Aim of a physician is to cure. For that, he has to prescribe a drug that is expected to contain all the appropriate molecular imprints required to remove the molecular inhibitions in the patient. He can decide the drug by any means at his disposal. It may be previous experience in similar cases. It may be experience of somebody else. It may be based on knowledge of exact causative factors. It may be based on knowledge of biochemical process involved. It may be simple logic and reasoning. It may be strong singular symptoms known as keynotes. It may be a ‘specific’ approach. It may be based on ‘totality of symptoms’. There are many options for the physician. Most important thing is, the selected drug should contain the required molecular imprints. FINDING APPROPRIATE MOLECULAR IMPRINTS SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN OF A HOMEOPATH- NOT THE ‘METHOD’ USED FOR THAT.
———————————————————————————————————-
A common man with scientific background will find it very easy to understand homeopathy if you explain it using MIT concepts. Image of homeopathy will be greatly enhanced.
———————————————————————————————————–
Homeopathic ‘people’ have been already misled by unscientific theories for last 250 years. I am trying to show them the right way by explaining homeopathy in scientific terms.
——————————————————————————————————–
There cannot exist such a MEDICINE that is ‘energy hased’ or ‘immaterial’. A medicine will be always ‘material’ or ‘matter based’. Potentized medicines are molecular imprints, which are also ‘material’. I have explained the biological mechanism of their action in terms of removal of molecular inhibitions by acting as artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules.
———————————————————————————————————-
Actually, I keep on saying ‘similia similibus curentur’ and ‘potentization involve great objective observations of hahnemann regarding the phenomena of cure and drug preparation. But he failed in explaining them correctly, due to the historical limitations of scientific knowledge available to him during his period. As such, he was compelled to explain homeopathy using unscientific concepts of vital force and dynamic energy. His explanations do not agree with the modern scientific knowledge system existing now.
——————————————————————————————————-
Organon consists of hahnemann’s subjective explanations of objective phenomena he observed. Obviously, there are a lot of unscientific and speculative things in organon. It has all the limitations that could be expected in a medical text written 250 years ago.
————————————————————————————————————
One Homeopath narrates his CHARGES against me:
“You constantly comment on matters on homoeopathy as unscientific, you said the organon is unscientific, now you say the vital force is unscientific tomorow you will say potentized medicines are not energy based but chemical compounds and reaction do take place , next time will say homeo medicines work through chemical reactions, you are totally mis-leading the people about homoeopathic theory in conclusion a common man may consider homoeopathy as unscientific or a myth which will damage the image of homoeopathy, if anyone in this page has any contradictory statements to me i am bowing my head to you!! chandran sir you are perhaps more a chemistry genius rather than homoeopath! thanks i will learn your biochemistry”
Let me make a list of his charges:
Charge 1: I constantly comment on matters on homeopathy as unscientific.
Answer: Actually, I keep on saying ‘similia similibus curentur’ and ‘potentization involves great objective observations of hahnemann regarding the phenomena of cure and drug preparation. But he failed in explaining them correctly, due to the historical limitations of scientific knowledge available to him during his period. As such, he was compelled to explain homeopathy using unscientific concepts of vital force and dynamic energy. His explanations do not agree with the modern scientific knowledge system existing now.
Charge 2: I said the organon is unscientific
Answer: Organon consists of hahnemann’ explanations of phenomena he observed. Obviously, there are a lot of unscientific and speculative things in organon. It has all the limitations that could be expected in a medical text written 250 years ago.
Charge 3: I say the vital force is unscientific.
Answer: Exactly. I said it. And I have explained it.
Charge 4: Tomorow I will say potentized medicines are not energy based but chemical compounds and reaction do take place.
Answer: Not tomorrow. I have already said it, and explained it. There cannot such a MEDICINE that ‘energy hased’ or ‘immaterial’. A medicine will be always ‘material’ or ‘matter based’. Potentized medicines are molecular imprints, which are also ‘material’. I have explained the biological mechanism of their action in terms of removal of molecular inhibitions by acting as artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules.
Charge 5: Next time I will say homeo medicines work through chemical reactions.
Answer: Not through ‘chemical reactions’. See the above answer.
Charge 6: I am totally mis-leading the people about homoeopathic theory
Answer: Homeopathic ‘people’ have been already misled by unscientific theories for last 250 years. I am trying to show them the right way by explaining homeopathy in scientific terms.
Charge 7: A common man may consider homoeopathy as unscientific or a myth which will damage the image of homoeopathy
Answer: A common man with scientific background will find it very easy to understand homeopathy if you explain it using MIT concepts. Image of homeopathy will be enhanced.
Charge 8: I am ‘perhaps’ more a chemistry genius rather than a homeopath.
Answer: I an not a ‘chemistry genius’ or ‘homeopathy genius’. I am an ordinary lay man with scientific outlook.
———————————————————————————————————————-
A homeopath says: “there are many people in this page many eminent scholars and leading homoeopaths, i dont see any comments which means none of them could understand as one side you say vital force and dynamic energy is unscientific and in another side you are saying the same thing through chemistry and bio-chemic reaction”.
It is a right observation from Dr Imthiaz. Many ’eminent scholars and homeopaths’ could not understand what I am saying! They could not understand why I am saying “vital force and dynamic energy is unscientific”, and explaining homeopathy by “saying the same thing through chemistry and biochemical reactions”.
Only difference between those ’eminent scholar-homeopaths’ and Dr Imthiaz is that he makes comments without understanding anything, whereas others do not comment on what they do not understand!
———————————————————————————————————-
Dear friend, if you see MIT concepts of homeopathy as “unscientific theory”, and vital force-dynamic energy as “scientific theory”, it only means you are standing upside down! That is why you see ‘scientific’ and ‘unscientific’ reversed!
—————————————————————————————————————–
How can I discuss SCIENCE OF HOMEOPATHY with a ‘homeopath’ who declares “I have faith in homeopathy, be it scientific or not- it has to be that”?
If you are not bothered whether homeopathy is “scientific or not”, it is better to stay away from my pages. I am talking only to those who are interested in scientific understanding of homeopathy. I know, a prominent section of homeopaths belong to this class of “I have faith in homeopathy, be it scientific or not”.
YOU HAVE FAITH- THAT MAY BE ENOUGH FOR YOU. But don’t expect everybody to be satisfied by mere FAITH. There are people who want to know whether it is “scientific or not”.
————————————————————————————————————-
A homeopath from Srilanka says: “I could explain you theory of vital force as frequency or resonance in the form of physics”!
I have seen a lot of those ‘explanations’, pure rubbish pseudoscience. Dear friend, you cannot make ‘vital force’ theory ‘scientific’ by simply spicing over it with a few ‘scientific’ terms such as ‘resonance’ and ‘frequency’.
Playing with such words may help you to impress those simple-minded people who actually know nothing about physics. Anybody who studied PHYSICS at least up to high school level know what is meant by FORCE, and FOUR FUNDAMENTAL FORCES existing in nature. If “vital force is immaterial”, “spiritual” and “dynamic”, how can you ‘explain’ such an ‘immaterial’ thing using physics? Why should you try to do that? Physics is the study of phenomena of MATERIAL WORLD- not ‘immaterial things’. PHYSICS and METAPHYSICS are entirely different fields, sir. You are talking metaphysics!MEDICAL SCIENCE is not metaphysics or ‘philosophy’. Subject-matter, paradigms and methods of both are entirely different from one another. If you want HOMEOPATHY to be a medical science, and homeopath to be a physician, you have to learn to think, talk and practice homeopathy as a ‘science’- not as ‘philosophy’.
————————————————————————————————————————
Unless you could avoid ‘vital force’ and ‘dynamic energy’ from the theoretical framework of homeopathy, you cannot learn or practice homeopathy as a MEDICAL SCIENCE. Those concepts are part of a totally unscientific world outlook that has no any relevance in a discussion on medical science. Personally you are free to believe or not believe in ‘vital force’, but that topic should be discussed some where else, as part of philosophy, if anybody is interested in it- not in homeopathy.
It is one’s approach towards ‘vital force theory’ that primarily determines whether he belongs to the class of scientific homeopaths or unscientific homeopaths. I prefer to stay away from those who are so much interested in in discussing ‘vital force’ as part of theory of homeopathy. I know, nobody can talk science to such people.
Do not drag ‘vital force’ into our scientific discourse of homeopathy. Homeopathy is a medical science. Learn it, teach it and practice it as a subject of science.
———————————————————————————————————————-
Citing the ‘experiences of stalwarts’ or quoting the ‘words of masters’ do not by themselves prove any PRINCIPLES or LAWS in homeopathy. Different persons INTERPRET same experience in different ways, depending up on their subjective individual perceptions and understandings.
In the absence of a scientifically viable explanation for biological mechanism of homeopathic cure, “experience of stalwarts and thousands of reputed homeopathic physicians practicing all over the world” will not be considered as EVIDENCES, especially when different ‘stalwarts’ have entirely different and contradicting opinions on many issues in homeopathy.
Unless you are capable of saying ‘what are the active principles of potentized drugs’, and ‘what is the exact biological mechanism by which potentized drugs act’, there is no meaning in making ‘theories’ about ‘optimum doses’, ‘selection of potency’, ‘aggravations’, ‘drug relationships’, ‘bad effects of over dose’, or anything like that.
My opinions on all these subjects are based on the concepts of MOLECULAR IMPRINTS as active principles of potentized drugs.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
Now we are living a new era of scientific awareness, very much advanced than that of hahnemann. Modern biochemistry, molecular biology and supramolecular chemistry have provided us with enough scientific tools and information to explain similia similibus curentur and potentization in scientific terms. It is a gross injustice and insult to the great genius of hahnemann if we still continue to explain his wonderful therapeutic method in terms of unscientific concepts of ‘vital force’ and ‘dynamic drug energy’, which he happened to utilize only due to the lack of scientific knowledge available to him during his period.
——————————————————————————————————————-
I hope scientific community would seriously consider my hypothesis of MOLECULAR IMPRINTED PROTEINS as a major class of pathogenic agents that cause so-called auto-immune diseases and various proteinopathies such as alzhiemers, dementia, prion diseases and the like. They should scientifically verify the concept of antibodies and other deformed proteins as ‘native proteins subjected to a natural process of molecular imprinting by alien proteins or antigens’.
Such studies will inevitably lead them to a better understanding of various diseases currently considered incurable, and may also help scientists in developing a whole new range of therapeutic agents to combat such serious diseases.
——————————————————————————————————————
What is ‘totality of symptoms’? What is the use of ‘totality of symptoms’ in homeopathic case taking? What happen if ‘totality of symptoms’ is not taken?
Many homeopaths think ‘totality of symptoms’ means ‘all symptoms’ of the patient. They writes down ‘all symptoms’ from ‘mind’, ‘generals’ and ‘head’ to ‘particulars’ in minute details, repertorize, select a ‘similimum’ and give it to the patient- and utterly fail in producing any result. Then they declare- ‘well selected’ similmum has failed, totality does not work.
They should understand, ‘totality of symptoms’ does not mean ‘all symptoms’, but all ‘complete symptoms’ you collected from the patient. By TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS, you should understand ‘all complete symptoms considered in their totality’. If a symptom is not ‘complete’ in itself, it cannot be part of a ‘totality’. Any ABNORMAL symptom, qualified with its most characteristic ACCESSORIES such as ‘causation, location, presentation, sensation, modalities and concomitants’ may be called a COMPLETE SYMPTOM, and in certain cases, even a single ‘complete symptom’ may represent the TOTALITY. A reasonable homeopathic prescriptions could be based on even such a SINGLE ‘total symptom’.
If you do not know the art of collecting one or more such TOTAL SYMPTOMS in your patient, you are bound to fail in producing any result, even if you laboriously collect ‘all symptoms’ and repertorize it.
There may be instances where ‘totality’ of such ‘complete symptoms’ do not indicate a SINGLE remedy. Each separate COMPLETE symptom may give a separate similimum. In order to understand this phenomenon, you should learn to perceive diseases in terms of different types of molecular errors caused by different types of pathogenic molecules. You should also learn to perceive potentized drugs in terms of diverse types of molecular imprints they contain. Different molecular errors may be represented by by different symptom complexes, requiring different types of molecular imprints to rectify them. If a single drug does not provide all the molecular imprints required to remove all the molecular inhibitions in a patient, we will have to use more than one drug to ensure a TOTAL CURE. If different ‘symptom complexes’ indicate entirely different similimum, we should use all those different drugs- serially, alternatingly or in combined prescriptions.
————————————————————————————————————
What will happen if a patient is ‘over dosed’ with a ‘well-indicated’ homeopathic drug? Is there any chance for intoxication or any reaction?
My well thought answer to this question is an affirmative ‘NO’!
If the drug is ‘indicated’, that means it contains molecular imprints having conformational affinity to the pathogenic molecules in the organism. ONLY they will work, by binding to them and deactivating them.
In any ‘dose’, there will be a lot of molecular imprints that have no affinity to any targets in that particular patient, and they will not work. They are simply ‘not indicated’. SAME WITH ‘OVER DOSE’- they have no action, as they have no molecular targets to work upon. They ‘work’ as ‘water and ethyl alcohol’ they consist of. That is all
—————————————————————————————————————–
I know we cannot resolve our difference in perspectives regarding ‘vital force’ through an argument here.
I only wanted to say, ‘vital force’ based concepts no way help us to explain homeopathy in scientific terms. Whether we believe in ‘vital force’ or not, we have to explain ‘how homeopathy works’ in terms of molecular mechanisms of its biological actions in a way fitting to the modern scientific knowledge of biochemistry. You may believe and keep on saying “homeopathy works so deep in to the life-force”, but that is not the language of science- that will not make homeopathy a MEDICAL SCIENCE.
———————————————————————————————————————
Most homeopaths think that to be real homeopaths, they have to blindly BELIEVE in the ‘principles’ and ‘laws’ taught by ORGANON, HAHNEMANN and other STALWARTS of homeopathy, without asking any questions or inquiring about the scientific validity or basis of those teachings
Until and unless we succeed in knowing and explaining homeopathy in scientific terms, and prove them according to scientific methods, everything we talk as ‘principles of homeopathy’ are only ‘blind beliefs’.
Please note, I am not saying “homeopathy is blind belief”, but those scientifically unexplained “principles of homeopathy” are ‘blind beliefs.
Homeopathy involves hahnemann’s objective observation of true ‘experience’ regarding phenomena of cure, but its ‘principles’ and theoretical explanations are mere speculations and blind beliefs based on 250 year old human knowledge.
We have to explain our ‘homeopathic experience’ on the basis of present day scientific knowledge, so that we can eliminate ‘blind beliefs’ from it and make it a real science.

Homeopathic potentization is ‘target-specific drug designing’ by MOLECULAR IMPRINTING IN WATER. ‘Similia Similibus Surentur’ is a scientific method of of ‘target-specific drug piloting’.
When I explain Homeopathy as Molecular Imprints Therapeutics, and say it is an advanced branch of modern molecular medicine, most homeopaths do not understand it, and scientific community totally ignore it. For the time being, it will be difficult for both homeopaths as well as scientists to recognize this great truth. But I am sure, a day will come very shortly, when everybody will understand and accept MIT concepts.
———————————————————————————————————————-
All skeptics are not scientific. Most of those who attack homeopathy are pseudo-scientific skeptics, who vainly pretend to be a ‘saviors of science’, without knowing the essential basics of science or scientific methods. Their ways basically differ from genuine scientific approach. Science is concerned with truth, whereas skeptics blindly negate all truth unknown to them! Anybody can become a self-proclaimed skeptic and pretend as a defender of science, simply by abusing homeopathy and homeopaths. It is much easier than becoming a good homeopath or a good scientist.

There cannot be a SYMPTOM without a molecular level process behind it. Even a SENSATION, a ÈMOTION, a DREAM, or a DELUSION has a molecular level process underlying it, happening in the nervous system.
SYMPTOMS may be of two types: 1. NORMAL or PHYSIOLOGICAL symptoms, that represent normal biochemical interactions that are part of normal physiological processes, 2. ABNORMAL or PATHOLOGICAL symptoms that represent altered biochemical processes that are part of abnormal physiological processes, or molecular level PATHOLOGY.
All drug substances act on biological molecules. No drug can act on MIND without acting on biological molecules, since mind is nothing but complex biochemical processes happening in the brain cells, which is also integral part of body.
PATHOLOGY is always at ‘molecular level’. ÇURE happens at ‘molecular level’. Therapeutics is always a ‘molecular level intervention’ in the biological processes by the physician, using ‘molecular tools’ we call DRUGS.
There is nothing immaterial, or dynamic in life, disease, symptoms, cure, or drug actions a physician deals with. Everything related with the work of a PHYSICIAN are material phenomena.

Potentized homeopathic medicines are commonly dispensed as medicated sugar pills or sugar of milk.
Sugar pills are made of cane sugar or SUCROSE. Sucrose is the organic compound belonging to the class of ‘carbohydrates’, commonly known as table sugar and sometimes called saccharose. A white, odorless, crystalline powder with a sweet taste, it is best known for its role in food. The molecule is a disaccharide composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose with the molecular formula C12H22O11.
Sugar of milk or Lactose is a disaccharide sugar found in milk. It has a formula of C12H22O11. Lactose is a disaccharide derived from the condensation of monosacharides galactose and glucose, which form a β-1→4 glycosidic linkage. Its systematic name is β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose. The glucose can be in either the α-pyranose form or the β-pyranose form, whereas the galactose can only have the β-pyranose form: hence α-lactose and β-lactose refer to anomeric form of the glucopyranose ring alone. Lactose is hydrolysed to glucose and galactose, isomerised in alkaline solution to lactulose, and catalytically hydrogenated to the corresponding polyhydric alcohol, lactitol. Lactose crystals have a characteristic tomahawk shape that can be observed with a light microscope.
Both sucrose and lactose, used in homeopathic pharmacy, could be hydrolyzed into their sub-units by digestive enzymes, and absorbed into blood stream.
Use of cane sugar and sugar of milk in homeopathic pharmacy is equivalent to use of various ‘excipents’ in modern pharmaceutical industry. An excipient is generally a pharmacologically inactive substance formulated with the active ingredient of a medication. Excipients are commonly used to bulk up formulations that contain potent active ingredients (thus often referred to as “bulking agents,” “fillers,” or “diluents”), to allow convenient and accurate dispensation of a drug substance when producing a dosage form. They also can serve various therapeutic-enhancing purposes, such as facilitating drug absorption or solubility, or other pharmacokinetic considerations. Excipients can also be useful in the manufacturing process, to aid in the handling of the active substance concerned such as by facilitating powder flowability or non-stick properties, in addition to aiding in vitro stability such as prevention of denaturation over the expected shelf life. The selection of appropriate excipients also depends upon the route of administration and the dosage form, as well as the active ingredient and other factors. Pharmaceutical regulations and standards require that all ingredients in drugs, as well as their chemical decomposition products, be identified and shown to be safe.
CELLULOSE seems to be a better choice for dispensing homeopathic medicines, when compared to sugar of milk and cane sugar. Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C6H10O5)n, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over ten thousand D-glucose units. Cotton fibers represent the purest natural form of cellulose, containing more than 90% of this polysaccharide.
In many ways, cellulose makes the ideal excipient for pharmaceuticals as well as food articles. A naturally occurring polymer, it is composed of glucose units connected by a 1-4 beta glycosidic bond. These linear cellulose chains are bundled together as microfibril spiralled together in the walls of plant cell. Each microfibril exhibits a high degree of three-dimensional internal bonding resulting in a crystalline structure that is insoluble in water and resistant to reagents. There are, however, relatively weak segments of the microfibril with weaker internal bonding. These are called amorphous regions but are more accurately called dislocations since microfibril containing single-phase structure. The crystalline region is isolated to produce microcrystalline cellulose.
Microcrystalline cellulose is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production.The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets. It is also used in plaque assays for counting viruses.
I have been doing some experiments in homeopathic dispensing by using CELLULOSE, both as cotton fibers as well as commercially available microcystalline cellulose. Small quantity of pure cotton fibers were moistened with potentized drugs selected as similimum, and kept until it is dried and advised the patients to keep it under tongue for some time. It acted very promptly, much better than when administered by other conventional means. By keeping under tongue for extended periods, the molecular imprints adsorbed in the cotton get gradually released, thereby ensuring appropriate exposure and availability.
We can apply medicated cotton also as wound dressing, and to cover skin lesions as eczema. Medicated cotton has been used as anal plugging in haemorrhoids with promising results.
Microcrystalline cellulose is commercially available in the market in tablet forms, which could be moistened by potentized drugs and kept for long periods. They also gave excellent results in my experiments.

When homeopaths demand for getting permission to practice allopathy, it means THEY have failed as homeopaths. It is the failure of INDIVIDUAL homeopaths- not of homeopathy.
————————————————————————————————————————-
Abnormal symptoms are expressions of abnormal physiological processes, which is called pathology. Abnormal thermal reactions are expressions of abnormal physiology. You need not consider a normal symptom in the selection of similimum. It is applicable to thermal reactions also. Individualization has to be done using abnormal symptoms.
Drug symptoms represent abnormal molecular processes produced by drug molecules. Disease symptoms represent abnormal molecular processes produced by pathogenic molecules. We are comparing drug symptoms and disease symptoms to identify a drug substance that produced symptoms exactly similar to disease symptoms, so that drug molecules and pathogenic molecules will be similar. Only then, molecular imprints of drug molecules can deactivate pathogenic molecules and remove molecular inhibitions, thereby resulting in a cure
———————————————————————————————————————-
Kindly read CHRONIC DISEASES carefully once again. You will realize, while introducing the concepts of MIASMS, hahnemann was actually talking about the life long ‘chronic disease dispositions’ resulting from infectious diseases.
Most probably, a ‘keynote’ symptom is a ‘symptom complex’ that represents a specific molecular error produced in the organism by a specific pathogenic molecule. When same ‘keynote’ ‘symptom complex’ is also present in a drug, that shows the drug also contains a constituent molecule similar to that pathogenic molecule, which produced similar molecular errors during drug proving. Due to that similarity, molecular imprints of that particular drug molecules can bind specifically to those pathogenic molecules, there by removing the molecular inhibitions they produced in biological molecules.
‘Totality of symptoms’ in a patient means totality of all the diverse types of ‘symptom complexes’ expressed by the patient, representing all the diverse types of molecular errors produced by all the diverse types of pathogenic molecules.
If anybody has least doubt whether or not hahnemann was talking about the ‘miasm of psora’ as originating from ‘infection of itch disease’, kindly read this part from ‘Chronic Diseases’-Para 37:
“Psora (itch disease), like syphilis, is a miasmatic chronic disease, and its original development is similar. The itch disease is, however, also the most contagious of all chronic miasmata, far more infectious than the other two chronic miasmata, the venereal chancre disease and the figwart disease”.
“But the miasma of the itch needs only to touch the general skin, especially with tender children”.
“No other chronic miasma infects more generally, more surely, more easily and more absolutely than the miasma of itch; as already stated, it is the most contagious of all. It is communicated so easily, that even the physician, hurrying from one patient to another, in feeling the pulse has unconsciously inoculated other patients with it; wash which is washed with wash infected with the itch; new gloves which had been tried on by an itch patient, a strange lodging place, a strange towel used for drying oneself have communicated this tinder of contagion; yea, often a babe, when being born, is infected while passing through the organs of the mother, who may be infected (as is not infrequently the case) with this disease; or the babe receives this unlucky infection through the hand of the midwife, which has been infected by another parturient woman (or previously); or, again, a suckling may be infected by its nurse, or, while on her arm, by her caresses or the caresses of a strange person with unclean hands; not to mention the thousands of other possible ways in which things polluted with this invisible miasma may touch a man in the course of his life, and which often can in no way be anticipated or guarded against, so that men who have never been infected by the psora are the exception. We need not to hunt for the causes of infection in crowded hospitals, factories, prisons, or in orphan houses, or in the filthy huts of paupers; even in active life, in retirement, and in the rich classes, the itch creeps in”.
It is obvious that hahnemann considered human beings aquiring ‘miasm of psora’ only by getting ‘infected’ with ‘itch’ disease.
But our ‘miasmatic experts’ make theories about even ‘genetic inheritance’ of ‘psora’! I would request young homeopaths to carefully read the original works of hahnemann with a logical and scientific mindset, instead of ‘learning miasms’ from modern interpreters.
Listen to hahnemann saying: “not to mention the thousands of other possible ways in which things polluted with this invisible miasma may touch a man in the course of his life, and which often can in no way be anticipated or guarded against, so that men who have never been infected by the psora are the exception”.
Hahnemann explains the diverse ways of getting infected by itch to show why “men who have never been infected by psora are the exception”. But our miasmatic experts would say that it is due to ‘genetic inheritance’!
——————————————————————————————————————————
If you perceive DRUG SUBSTANCES in terms of their diverse types individual constituent molecules, and perceive MOLECULAR IMPRINTING in terms of imprinting of those ‘individual’ molecules, you will realize that ‘slight’ changes in molecular constitution of drugs arising from environmental factors will not be a big problem. Most of the kingdom-specific, family-specific, genus-specific, and species-specific CHEMICAL MOLECULES will be there in any sample of that drug. That will be enough for it to work in MOST cases when indicated by symptoms.
———————————————————————————————————————-
In KEYNOTE prescriptions, we select a similimum by considering only specific SYMPTOM COMPLEX representing a specific MOLECULAR ERROR in the patient as a standard single UNIT, and identifying a drug that could produce SYMPTOM COMPLEX similar to it during drug proving.
———————————————————————————————————————–
‘Keynote symptom’ in a patient means a particular ‘symptom complex’ expressed by the patient, representing a particular type of molecular error produced by a particular type of pathogenic molecule.
When finding similimum by ‘totality of symptoms’, we are trying to find a drug that contains maximum number of diverse chemical molecules matching to maximum number of diverse pathogenic molecules that produced the diverse types of molecular errors as well as ‘symptom complexes’ in that particular patient.
When finding similimum by KEYNOTE method, we are trying to find a particular drug that contains a particular constituent molecule that is SIMILAR to a particular pathogenic molecule that produced a particular molecular in the organism and expressed through a particular ‘symptom complex’.
KEYNOTE PRESCRIPTION tries to address a case by identifying a specific molecular error in the patient, where as TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS tries to address the case by considering maximum number of diverse molecular errors existing in the patient.
———————————————————————————————————————-
Keynote symptom is a symptom, which if present in a patient, will directly lead us to a specific remedy. That symptom will work as a KEYNOTE in deciding a prescription for that case.
—————————————————————————————————————-
We should be very careful while deciding whether a person is cold or hot during case taking. A person should considered HOT only if he is hot even in cold conditions. And should be considered COLD only if he is cold even in hot conditions. That is what I mean by saying ABNORMAL symptoms. Being hot in hot conditions, and cold in cold conditions are NORMAL, have no value in homeopathic case study.
——————————————————————————————————————
A KEYNOTE symptom is a specific ‘symptom complex’ of ‘accessory symptoms’ that when appears associated with an ABNORMAL BASIC SYMPTOM in a patient, specifically indicates a particular remedy. These KEYNOTE ‘symptom complexes’ are constituted by two or more very characteristic ‘accessory symptoms’ belonging to categories such as causations, locations, presentations, sensations, modalities and concomitants.
A Keynote ‘symptom complex’ becomes more useful in practice, when it contains minimum number of ‘accessory symptoms’ and it indicates minimum number of drugs- preferably SINGLE drug. In such cases, that drug could be prescribed very easily, and with full confidence.

Do you feel safe and confident by ‘vaccinating’ your pet animals using ‘potentized homeopathic nosodes’, avoiding routine vaccinations?

Fundamental error ‘classical miasmatic analysts’ make is, they have turned hahnemann’s concept of miasms upside down. According to those people, ‘gonorrhoea is CAUSED BY sycosis’, itch infection is CAUSED BY psora’, and ‘syphilis disease is CAUSED BY miasm of syphilis’. And these ‘miasms are caused by original sins of humanity’!
They interpret hahnemann in a very wrong way. Kindly read CHRONIC DISEASES once again carefully, avoiding ‘interpreters’. Hahnemann actually said, these three miasms were CAUSED BY these infectious diseases. And, these three miasms in turn CAUSE other diverse types of CHRONIC DISEASES.
According to hahnemann, PSORA is never acquired unless the person is ONCE infected by itch disease, SYCOSIS is never acquired unless the person is ONCE infected by gonoorhoea, SYPHILIS is never acquired unless the the person is ONCE infected with syphilis disease.
All confusions regarding miasms could be resolved only by first resolving the confusion whether hahnemann considered PSORA, SYPHILIS and SYCOSIS are CAUSED by infectious diseases, or those infectious diseases are CAUSED by already existing miasms of ORIGINAL SINS OF HUMANITY.
———————————————————————————————————————-
We are taught that ‘sycosis’ is the miasm of gonorrhoea. Did you ever notice hahnemann on many occasions mentioning ‘figwart disease’ also, along with gonorrhoea while explaining the miasm of sycosis?
On closely observing the symptoms hahnemann ascribed to ‘sycotic miasm’, we can understand that many of those symptoms like warts belong to human papilloma virus infection.
During hahnemann’s period, figwarts were considered to be caused by gonorrhoeal infections, since they appeared concurrently in most individuals. The fact is that gonorrhoea and HPV comes mostly as mixed infections. Since much information was not available during Hahnemann’s time about HPV as the causative agent of ‘ano-genital warts’ or ‘figwart disease’ and ‘uterine fibromas’, he attributed all these complaints and symptoms to gonorrhoea, and called it ‘sycotic miasm’.
In most occasions he refers the miasm of ‘sycosis’ as ‘miasm of figwart disease’, not ‘miasm of gonorrhoea. ‘Figwart disease is not gonorrhoea; it is Human Papilloma Virus disease. It is obvious that hahnemann was confused about gonorrhoea and figwart disease. Since he could not differentiate between gonorrhoea and HPV, he wrongly considered ‘figwart disease’ as part of gonorrhoea.
—————————————————————————————————————-
While introducing the concept of MIASMS of ‘infectious diseases’ as the causative factor of CHRONIC DISEASES, HAHNEMANN was actually thinking far ahead of his contemporary science. Both the scientific community, as well as his own followers failed in understanding the real meaning and implications of this epoch making revelation.
Modern science has only just started to realize the role of ANTIBODIES as a major class of disease-producing molecules, which were so far considered only as ‘defense molecules’ of our body.
Recent studies of ‘off target’ inhibitions produced by antibodies as a major causative factor in chronic diseases so far called as ‘auto-immune’ diseases shows that hahnemann was thinking 200 years ahead of his time while introducing the concept of miasms.
Let us bow our heads in memory of that great genius, whose observational and reasoning skills transcended the limitations of not only his time and knowledge available to him, but even coming centuries.
————————————————————————————————————————–
He limited his discussions to ‘three’ miasms, since according to him, itch-leprosy, syphilis and figwart-gonorrhoea disease were the most widely distributed infectious diseases during his time.
How an ‘infectious agent’ can produce a ‘chronic disposition’ even after the infectious disease is cured, is the subject of my inquiries. According to me, it can happen only through the antibodies generated in the organism against those infectious substances, which contain protein molecules alien to the organism. These antibodies remain lifelong, and can bind to ‘off-target’ biological molecules, thereby producing diverse types of chronic diseases.
ANTIBODIES are the carriers of miasms- this is what I try to make out. Antibodies and misformed proteins generated in the body against diverse types of infectious agents and other ‘alien’ proteins constitute a major class of pathogenic agents that cause diverse types of CHRONIC DISEASES, including even auto-immune diseases and proteinopathies.
Hahnemann called this pathogenic factors as ‘miasms’, as he was not much aware of antibodies and immunology during his period

J H Clarke says in Dictionary Of Materia Medica: Nux Vomica : Relations:
“Nux and Puls. have many symptoms in common, but are opposite in temperament and conditions. For all that they may be required by the same patient when temperaments and conditions are mixed.”
What does it mean? Does it mean PULS and NUX will be required by the same patient “when temperaments and conditions are mixed”?
——————————————————————————————————————
If we prepare separate samples of NUX VOMICA tinctures from root, bark, leaves, seeds, flowers etc of that tree and prove them, we will get entirely different materia medica of NUX VOMICA, as the molecular constituents of each sample will be different. Only some of the symptoms will be common to all those samples, which represent the biological actions of ‘species-specific’, ‘family-specific’, ‘kingdom-specific’ and ‘species-specific’ chemical molecules present in all samples. Symptoms representing ’tissue-specific’ actions will be different from sample to sample, and their medicinal properties also will differ. Molecular constitution, symptoms and medicinal properties will vary from sample to sample, depending upon climate, environment, soil conditions, processing, seasons, contamination, and many such factors.
———————————————————————————————————————–
If you see homeopathy as a finished product you “PURCHASED”, and organon as an “instruction manual of that product”, you need not worry about the scientific or unscientific aspects of homeopathy. In this case, homeopath is not a physician, but only a USER of a PRODUCT he PURCHASED!
If you see homeopathy as a MEDICAL SCIENCE, and homeopath as a PHYSICIAN, you will have to be concerned about unscientific things in homeopathy, you will have to update it in accordance with the advancement of science and human knowledge. For this class of homeopaths, homeopathy will not “remain the same” in theory, concept and practice. IT WILL CHANGE.
THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC AND UNSCIENTIFIC APPROACHES TOWARDS HOMEOPATHY.
—————————————————————————————————————-
“SIMILIA SIMILIA CURENTUR represents a RIGHT observation regarding the OBJECTIVE phenomenon of cure”. I ACCEPT IT, and try to advance it.
“ORGANON explains that phenomenon in a very unscientific way”. I DISCARD that explanation, and try to explain homeopathy in scientific terms.
—————————————————————————————————————-
MIT is only a ‘hypothesis’ at the present stage of its evolution- I agree. But it is a ‘scientific working hypothesis’, as it proposes a SCIENTIFIC MODEL for biological actions involved in homeopathic cure. Can anybody say ‘classical homeopathy’ is a ‘scientifically verified theory’, or is there at least a viable hypothesis in it? If you claim so, kindly tell me in SCIENTIFIC TERMS, what is the ‘biological mechanism’ of homeopathic drug action, and what are the exact ‘active principles’ of potentized drugs? If you cannot answer these questions, your ‘classical homeopathy’ does not qualify to be called even as a ‘hypothesis’, sir.
——————————————————————————————————————
Why should I ‘BELIEVE’ in organon? It is not a bible to be ‘believed’. It is a 250 year old MEDICAL TEXT. I read it, study it. Lean from it. Think about it. Accept something that are rational and logical in it. Discard something that are not logical and rational in it. If I think organon and homeopathy is totally wrong, why should I work for homeopathy?
In my view, SIMILIA SIMILIA CURENTUR represents a RIGHT observation regarding the OBJECTIVE phenomenon of cure. But ORGANON explains that phenomenon in a very unscientific way, due to the infantile stage of scientific knowledge available at that time. I am trying to explain SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR in a way fitting to modern scientific knowledge.
—————————————————————————————————————-
MOLECULAR IMPRINTS act as ‘artificial binding sites’ ONLY for pathogenic molecules having specific complementary conformational affinity. They cannot produce any pathological inhibitions in biological molecules. They cannot interfere in the interactions between biological molecules and their natural ligands. As such, they cannot do any harm even if administered on wrong indications, or used in ‘excess’ doses. If not indicated, it will not work- that is all.
———————————————————————————————————————
I beg you, please. Please free your mind from silly egos, personal jealousies and theoretical prejudices for a while. Please free your mind from the chains of your hard ‘beliefs’ and ‘dedications’ for a while. Please spare at least ONE hour for carefully reading an article on ‘Molecular Imprints Therapeutics’ and think over it for a while with an OPEN mind. Please spend a few minutes searching the web for the meaning of some technical terms used in the article that you feel difficult to comprehend.
If you do at least that much favor to me, you will experience a great revolutionary transformation happening in your vision as a homeopath by understanding MIT concepts.
If you do that much favor to me, you will experience how much it changes the way you perceive and practice homeopathy.
If you do that much favor to me, you will start wondering how you could so far afford to miss or ignore this simple but wonderful revelation going around here for some time now.
——————————————————————————————————————————-
There is no ‘scientific homeopathy’ and ‘unscientific homeopathy’. There is only homeopathy. The difference is between ‘scientific approach’ and ‘unscientific approach’ towards homeopathy.
———————————————————————————————————————
MOLECULAR IMPRINTING happens only if there is MOLECULES to imprint. Once the dilution crosses 12C or avogadro limit, all drug molecules will be removed, and only MOLECULAR IMPRINTS remain. As such, there is no chance for any molecular imprinting to happen.
If you continue the process of ‘serial dilution and succussion’ even after crossing avogadro limit, there is a chance for REPLICATION of molecular imprints by a process of INDUCED MOLECULAR ASSEMBLY similar to the process involved in CRYSTALLIZATION, and it is not impossible, as molecular imprints are actually NANO-CRYSTALS.
————————————————————————————————————————
How much you can DILUTE a solution? Nobody can DILUTE a solution even after all the SOLUTE molecules are removed from it. You cannot dilute water by adding a little more water into it! That means, you can dilute a DRUG only upto AVOGADRO LIMIT or 12C. You cannot prepare a 30C ‘dilution’ or 200C ‘dilution’ of a DRUG SUBSTANCE! There cannot be such a thing called ‘ULTRA-DILUTION’. HIGHEST dilution is 12C.
————————————————————————————————————————-
USE THE TERM ‘MOLECULAR IMPRINTING’, INSTEAD OF ‘POTENTIZATION’, ‘DILUTION’ AND ‘DYNAMIZATION’.
‘Potentization’, ‘Dynamyzation’, ‘Dilution’- Homeopaths use all these words to refer to the process of ‘serial dilution and succussion’ by which homeopathic medicinal substances are prepared.
Do these terms exactly describe the actual process of MOLECULAR IMPRINTING involved in this process?
The term ‘dilution’ is applicable only when the solute molecules remain in the solution. Once the solute molecules are completely removed from the ‘solution’, it is not a ‘solution’, and as such, it cannot be further ‘diluted’. You cannot ‘dilute’ water by a adding a little more water. That means, a preparation diluted above 12c or avogadro limit cannot be called a ‘dilution’.
The term ‘potentization’ originated from the concept that the ‘potency’ or medicinal ‘power’ of the preparation increases through each stage of ‘dilution and succussion’. This concept of ‘increasing medicinal power’ is not valid once you perceive this process as MOLECULAR IMPRINTING. Molecular imprinting is actually a process of preparing ‘artificial recognition sites’ in the supra-molecular matrix of the medium, through a process of ‘host-guest’ interactions between solute molecules and solvent molecules. Obviously, the term ‘potentization’ does not exactly describe the process of medicinal preparation in homeopathy.
The term ‘dynamization’ from the vitalistic or energy medicine theories of homeopathy. As per this view, every drug substance has its ‘inherent qualities’, which exist as specific ‘energy’ of dynamic in form, and act up on the ‘vital force’ of organism by a dynamic way. This dynamic drug energy can exist free from ‘material drug substance and get transferred into rectified spirit or sugar of milk through a process of ‘serial dilution and succussion’.. By this process, the ‘dynamic drug energy’ gettin freed from the drug substance moves to the potentizing medium and ‘energizes’ it. By the process of serial dilution and succussion, this dynamic energy could be ‘raised’ to new energy levels, and as such, it is believed that ‘higher’ dilutions are more ‘dynamized’ and more powerful. This ‘dynamic drug energy’ carried by the homeopathic act upon the vital force and induces a ‘healing process’.
According to scientific understanding proposed by MIT concepts, the process of ‘serial dilution and succussion’ is explained in terms of ‘molecular imprinting’. It is not the ‘dynamic drug energy’ that is transferred into the medium during so-called process of potentization, but the three dimensional conformation of constituent drug molecules getting imprinted into the supra-molecular matrix of potentizing medium in the form of nanocavities, through a process of forming hydration shells. These nanocavities act as artificial binding sites or artificial ‘key holes’ for pathogenic molecules having configurational similarity to imprinted molecules. This concept scientifically explains the molecular dynamics of homeopathic therapeutics involved in ‘similia similibus curentur’ in a way fitting to the concepts of modern biochemistry, molecular pathology and therapeutics.
Logically, it would be ideal to use the scientific term ‘MOLECULAR IMPRINTING’ to explain the exact process involved the preparation of homeopathic drugs. Prepared drugs above 12th stage of dilution- above avogadro limit- could be called MOLECULAR IMPRINTS- Nux Vomica MI, Sulphur MI, Ars MI and the like.
—————————————————————————————————————————
If we really want to make homeopathy a part of MEDICAL SCIENCE, any explanation we provide for the biological mechanism of homeopathic drug actions should be fitting to the paradigms of modern science.
Modern biochemistry explains molecular mechanisms of life processes, disease and cure in terms of ‘key-lock’ relationship between ligands and their target molecules. This ‘key-lock’ concept has been proved practically right by the great successes in the field of DRUG DESIGNING, where specific drug molecules fitting to specific biological targets are synthesized exactly like making appropriate keys for particular locks.
Any model we propose for the molecular mechanism of homeopathic therapeutics involved in ‘similia similibus curentur’ should be fitting to this ‘key-lock’ concept of molecular interactions. My explanation of of homeopathy on the basis of ‘molecular imprints’ acting as ‘artificial binding sites’ specific pathogenic molecules perfectly meets this fundamental condition.
PLEASE NOTE: Only MIT concepts explains ‘potentization’, ‘similia similibus curentur’ and ‘high dilution therapeutics’ in exact scientific terms, in a way agreeing with modern scientific understanding of life, disease and cure.

In western countries, homeopathy is included under the umbrella class of ‘Complementary And Alternative Medicine(CAM), which includes all sorts of unscientific, pseudo-scientific and even occult ‘healing arts’. Homeopathy is taught along with these things in many western institutions. If you go through the profile info of even those famous homeopaths, you can realize the real picture.
See the list of healing practices grouped under CAM :
Spiritual healing, shamanic healing, acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, sonopuncture, Affirmative prayer, Alexander Technique, Apitherapy, Applied kinesiology, Aromatherapy, Astrology, Auriculotherapy, Autogenic Training, Autosuggestion, Bach Flower Therapy, Balneotherapy, Bates Method, Biodanza, Bioresonance therapy, Blood irradiation therapies, Body-Based Manipulative Therapies, Massage therapy, Chelation therapy, Chinese food therapy, Chinese pulse diagnosis, Chromotherapy, Coding therapy, Coin rubbing, Colloidal silver therapy, Colon hydrotherapy, Color Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Creative Visualization, Crystal healing, Cupping, Dowsing, Ear Candling, Electromagnetic therapy, Energy therapies, Magnet therapy, Reiki, Qigong, Shiatsu, Therapeutic Touch, Faith healing, Fasting, Feldenkrais method, Feng shui, Five Elements, Flower essence therapy, Hair analysis therapy, Facial Analysis, Hatha yoga, Hawaiian massage, Herbalism, Herbal therapy, Herbology, Holistic living Holistic medicine, Homeopathy, Home remedies, Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Iridology, Isopathy, Light therapy, Macrobiotic lifestyle, Magnetic healing, Manipulative therapy, Medical intuition, Meditation, Meridian, Mindfulness meditation, Transcendental meditation, Vipassana, Mega-vitamin therapy, Mind–body intervention, Feldenkrais method, Moxibustion, Music therapy, Natural Health, Natural therapies, Naturopathic medicine, New Thought, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Nutritional healing, Nutritional supplements, Orgonomy, Orthomolecular medicine, Osteomyology, Osteopathy, Pilates, Polarity therapy, Power yoga, Pranic healing, Prayer, Psychic surgery, Radionics, Rebirthing, Reflexology, Rolfing, Seitai, Self-hypnosis, Shiatsu, Siddha Medicine, Sonopuncture Sound therapy, Spiritual Mind Treatment, T’ai Chi Ch’uan, Thai massage, Thalassotherapy, Therapeutic horseback riding, Therapeutic Touch, Tibetan eye chart, Traditional Japanese medicine, Traditional Mongolian medicine, Traditional Tibetan medicine, Trager Approach, Transcendental meditation, Trigger point, Tui Na, Unani medicine, Urine therapy, Water therapy, Yoga, Zang Fu theory etc etc.
I think the inclusion of homeopathy in this group of unscientific healingbpractices is totally inappropriate, and is a grave injustice to homeopathy. Homeopaths, at least those want to promote homeopathy as a scientific medical system should strongly oppose this. Actually, homeopathy is an off-shoot of modern medicine, an advanced branch of modern molecular medicine.
Homeopaths should declare, HOMEOPATHY IS NOT CAM- IT IS MOLECULAR IMPRINTS THERAPEUTICS.

Recently, I get hundreds of chat requests every day- asking for more clarifications on MIT, requesting answers for some questions, seeking help in prescribing for some cases and the like. On some occasions, I am forced to keep 10-15 persons in waiting. I don’t know why most of my friends opt for private chat, instead of posting their questions and comments on my pages. I prefer public discussions, if the topic is not purely personal. If discussed on our groups publicly, it will save me from the burden of repeating same things, and it will be useful for all those who visit this page. When overburdened with chat requests so that I am unable to attend other works, I use to disable chat. Hope my friends would understand my position and co-operate.

Even though modern medicine is more and more turning to target-specific designer drugs, ‘drug designing’ using water molecules and molecular imprinting in water are subjects still remaining unknown to modern drug designers.
Homeopathy has been using this MOLECULAR IMPRINTING technique of preparing therapeutic agents for last 200+ years in the form of POTENTIZATION.
Once the ongoing search of modern scientists for new drug designing techniques and new substances for molecular imprinting finally land them inevitably into the understanding of ‘molecular imprinting in water’, modern medicine and scientific community will have to recognize homeopathy and its potentization. At that moment, they will have to recognize the genius of samuel hahnemann. It is only a matter of a little time now to happen that.
Only thing is, homeopaths should at the eariest tell to the world, HOMEOPATHY IS MOLECULAR IMPRINTS THERAPEUTICS, and POTENTIZATION IS MOLECULAR IMPRINTING IN WATER.
————————————————————————————————————————
Researches working up on developing novel DRUG DESIGNING TECHNIQUES may any time arrive at ‘molecular imprinting in water’ as a way to design a whole new range of target-specific drugs to be used in modern medicine. Once they do it, we need not expect them to mention any reference to homeopathy, which actually utilized this drug designing technology by way of POTENTIZATION. They will appropriate it into modern medicine as their original invention, same time continuing their attack on homeopathy.
Actually, I am discussing all my ideas about Molecular Imprints Therapeutics in public, with the hope that it may some how prevent allopaths from appropriating this discovery without paying due recognization to homeopathy.
I see danger in the hesitation of homeopathic community to accept MIT concepts at the earliest. By this hesitation and negligence, we are actually giving allopaths a chance to “turn this discovery in ther side by some way”.
Scientists will have no choice if homeopathic community explains homeopathy and potentization using MIT concepts, before allopaths appropriating MOLECULAR IMPRINTIMG as their invention.
If homeopathic community fail or delay to recognize and accept ‘molecular imprinting’ as part of their theoretical system, it would be easy for modern medicine to interpret it as their independent invention, and incorporate it into their ‘science’ as a new technology of target-specific drug designing. They can easily ‘hijack’ molecular imprinting without any mention or recognizing of homeopathy, potentization or samuel hahnemann.
Hope homeopaths would realize the gravity of this possibility.

Does anybody use MOTHER TINCTURES on the basis of the SIMILIA principle they always swear about, by selecting it as similimum by comparing with totality of symptoms? NO! Nobody prescribes ALFALFA Q, SYZIGIUM Q or RAUVOLFIA Q as SIMILIMUM.
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong in using MOTHER TINCTURES in ‘safe’ doses, if physician decides so. There is nothing wrong in using ALLOPATHY MEDICINES or HERBAL MEDICINES in ‘safe’ doses, if physician decides so. It may do some help in SOME cases- and harm in MOST cases.
But, it is WRONG to say he is practicing HOMEOPATHY!

If you really “want to know the logic behind our medicine action”, first thing you have to try to understand is, “what are the active principles of potentized drugs”, and what is the EXACT MOLECULAR MECHANISM by which these active principles work on our organism. Only after getting SCIENTIFICALLY viable answers to these two fundamental questions, you can move further with your inquiries. UNTIL YOU ANSWERS these BASIC questions, all other theories such as “homoeo medicine act on nerves”, “going to to the brain”, “similimam will trigger to the brain”, “next weak immune system will active again”, “will try to over come on infection”, “it will fight against disease”- EVERYTHING WILL REMAIN PURE IMAGINATION.
My request is, try to answer these TWO questions first:
1. What are the active principles of potentized drugs?
2. what is the EXACT MOLECULAR MECHANISM by which these active principles work on our organism?
Let us discus other things ONLY after reaching a consensus on these TWOP OINTS.
—————————————————————————————————————————
You can ignore what I am saying, as I am not an academician, scientist or a professional with high credentials, positions, qualifications, achievements, fame or authority. I am only an ordinary old lay man. But please do not question my natural right for thought and expression as a human being and a citizen of a country where democracy prevails. Nobody can stop me from THINKING and TALKING. Whether you agree with me or accept my ideas is not my concern. My only concern is whether I am right or wrong- and my strong conviction is, MIT IS RIGHT!
—————————————————————————————————————————-
I have no any ‘method’, ‘system’ or ‘theory’ of my own, to propagate or market. MIT is not a new invention- it is only a humble attempt to understand explain homeopathy and high dilution therapeutics, in the light of already available scientific knowledge. I simply talk what I think, what I am convinced, what I feel right. If anybody think I am wrong, I am not interested in ‘proving’ anything to them through arguments. I do not want ‘followers’ ‘believers’ or ‘defenders’. If my ideas are right, they will be accepted now or later by the community. If wrong, they will naturally perish.
If anybody is interested to know more about MIT concepts, I am ready to explain. I am ready to answer any questions you ask, as that will help to make my concepts more and more perfect. If anybody want to prove MIT wrong, let them do so- but I am not available for arguments, as nobody can convince anything to anybody through arguments.
———————————————————————————————————————
In my opinion, the fundamental ‘limitation’ of homeopathy is that we do not know exactly ‘how homeopathy works’. It just works- that is all.
My mission is to find an answer to that fundamental question, utilizing the already available modern scientific knowledge, in a way convincing to scientific community.
I believe all other ‘riddles’ of homeopathy will be spontaneously resolved once this fundamental question is satisfactorilly answered through MIT concepts I propose.
——————————————————————————————————————————-
Homeopathy existed here more than 250 years as an independent therapeutic system totally alienated from mainstream scientific knowledge.
The great divide between ‘allopathy and homeopathy’ could now be effectively bridged through my scientific explanation of potentization and similia similibus curentur in terms of MIT.
Once the people belonging to modern medicine understand the implications of MIT concepts, and accept ‘molecular imprinting’ as part of their target-specific drug designing technology, i am sure, modern MOLECULAR MEDICINE will automatically transform itself into MOLECULAR IMPRINTS MEDICINE.
I think time is now ripe for homeopathy and modern medicine to converge into a common stream of an advanced HIGHER STAGE of scientific medicine, equipped with a whole new range of target-specific medicinal substances developed through MOLECULAR IMPRINTING.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
Since MODERN MEDICINE requires a clear understanding of pathological molecular processes underlying the disease to decide an appropriate therapeutic agent, they have no specific treatment for many diseases which are not well understood.
For HOMEOPATHY, knowing the exact molecular error behind the pathology is not necessary, since homeopathy identifies the molecular errors and selects their remedial agents indirectly, by observing subjective and objective ‘symptoms’ that represent the molecular errors.
As such, homeopathy can handle any curable disease even without knowing the exact underlying molecular errors, merely on the basis of ‘similarity of symptoms’.
This is a great advantage for homeopathy. Whereas modern medicine can hope for an effective treatment only for well understood diseases, that too with possibility of unwanted side effects, homeopathy can treat any curable disease effectively and safely.
——————————————————————————————————————-
Since MODERN MEDICINE uses highly reactive ‘drug molecules’ as therapeutic agents, they can create dangerous ‘off-target’ molecular inhibitions in the organism, which we call ‘side effects’ or ‘medicinal diseases’. That is the main draw back of any medical system that utilizes ‘drug molecules’ as therapeutic agents. Since HOMEOPATHY uses only ‘molecular imprints’ that can act only upon pathogenic molecules having specific conformational affinity, they cannot cause any ‘off-target’ inhibitions in any biological molecules in the organism. Hence, homeopathy is very safe when compared to modern medicine.
——————————————————————————————————————
WHAT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMEOPATHY AND MODERN MEDICINE?
In my opinion, the fundamental difference between homeopathy and modern medicine is that ‘modern medicine’ uses DRUG MOLECULES as therapeutic agents, where as homeopathy uses MOLECULAR IMPRIMTS of drug molecules.
———————————————————————————————————————-
Once again, I would request: kindly avoid commenting on my pages if you do not understand, or are not interested to understand what I say. I am not interested in arguments, but only in a CREATIVE dialogue that helps to advance our knowledge and expand our vision.
IF YOU FEEL ALL THESE QUESTIONS I RAISE AND DISCUSS ARE IRRELEVANT FOR HOMEOPATHY, YOU CAN LEAVE MY PAGE, BECAUSE ALL MY WORKS HERE ARE ONLY ABOUT FINDING ANSWERS FOR THESE HARD FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS ABOUT HOMEOPATHY. WHY SHOULD YOU WASTE YOUR TIME HERE, IF EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE AS HOMEOPATHY IS “SIMPLE AND LOGICAL” FOR YOU, AND IF YOU HAVE NOTHING REMAINING TO LEARN FROM HERE?
——————————————————————————————————————
“Potentized drugs act by stimulating body defense mechanism” is another cliche for homeopaths.
Nobody is bothered about knowing the exact MOLECULAR MECHANISM by which this “stimulating” is produced by potentized drugs. Nobody is bothered about knowing the MOLECULAR MECHANISM by which drug proving produces symptoms. Nobody is bothered about what are the actual ACTIVE PRINCIPLES of potentized drugs, or the MOLECULAR MECHANISM by which potentized drugs “cure the sick”.
They believe, homeopathy is well explained by merely repeating ‘it stimulates defense mechanism’. HOW? They never ask or answer such a question! Still, everything is “very simple and logical” for them! Sorry to say, your ‘simplicity and logic’ is only a reflection of pathetic IGNORANCE!
Once you start to think over the questions I just raised above, you will realize that things are not that much simple and logical as you think. You will realize that you have been so far groping in the darkness of 250 year old knowledge environment. You will realize that only MIT provides ‘simple and logical’ answers to these questions.
———————————————————————————————————————–
In a scientific dialogue, there is no place for words such as ‘dynamic medicine’. It is a term originating from the unscientific philosophy of dynamism.
If there exists a something that can act ‘dynamically’, it cannot be called a ‘drug’, since drug is a substance that act ‘chemically’- not dynamically. A ‘dynamic’ thing does not need nerves also for ‘acting’. A ‘dynamic’ cannot be carried in pills, or sugar of milk. You cannot keep a ‘dynamic’ thing corked in a bottle- it will disappear ‘dynamically’!
It is an already disproved idea that ‘potentized drugs act through nerves’. MOLECULAR IMPRINTS contained in potentized drugs can enter the body fluids through any mucous surface, or even through pores in our skin.
A lot of research works have been conducted IN VITRO, regarding the action of potentized drugs on laboratory samples of blood, enzymes and tissues, which do not contain NERVE CELLS. The belief of homeopathic drugs acting on nerve cells is already disproved scientifically. But homeopaths hesitate to discard ‘nerve cell’ theory, since their most cherished ‘vital force’ is believed to ‘work through nerves’! They fear, if homeopathic drugs are proved to act without the presence of nerve cells, their VITAL FORCE THEORY as such would collapse.
—————————————————————————————————————–
I know, most homeopaths will find difficult to understand or agree with my views on many things being discussed on this page.
To be capable of understanding what I say about homeopathy, you have to be capable of perceiving:
1. ‘Drug substances’ in terms of diverse types of constituent molecules,
2. ‘Diseases’ in terms of underlying bio-molecular inhibitions or errors produced by pathogenic molecules,
3. ‘Symptoms’ as expressions of diverse types of molecular errors in the organism,
4. ‘Drug proving’ in terms of bio-molecular inhibitions and symptoms produced by constituent molecules of drug substances,
3. ‘Potentization’ in terms of molecular imprinting of individual drug molecules contained in the drug substance,
4. ‘Potentized drugs’ in terms of diverse types of molecular imprints representing the drug molecules,
5. ‘Cure’ in terms of removal of inhibitions of biological molecules.
Obviously, this MIT perspective differs fundamentally from classical understanding of homeopathy.
—————————————————————————————————————–
According to my observations, even if selected as perfect similimum, vegetable and animal drugs fail to bring a perfect cure in many occasions. Same time, if you get a mineral drug as similimum, cure is speedy and perfect. Any opinion?
To understand and explain this phenomenon, we should RIGHTLY understand the molecular processes involved in drug proving, potentization, disease and cure.
In order to produce a homeopathic cure, we have to apply MOLECULAR IMPRINTS of drug molecules similar to the ‘exact’ pathogenic molecules that ‘actually’ BIND to the biological molecules and produce inhibitions. That is what we mean by ‘perfect similimum’.
When we administer a drug substance in ”crude’ or MOLECULAR form in a healthy person for proving, individual constituent molecules of that substance bind to different biological target molecules and produce molecular errors that are expressed through abnormal symptoms.
Most important point to be noticed is, in the case of vegetable and animal drugs, before binding to the biological targets, constituent molecules may undergo some initial chemical changes in inside the body at various stages of absorption and transportation, depending up on the routes and forms through which they are administered. In such instances, it is these ‘changed’ molecules that bind to the biological molecules and produce symptoms- not the original molecules contained in the drug substance we administered.
For example, if we administer a drug substance consisting of protein molecules such as enzymes, these proteins cannot enter the circulation as such, but only after getting decomposed into constituent amino acids. If ‘snake poison’ enters the body directly into the body through snake bite, proteinaceous enzymes contained it will act directly up on biological molecules. If the same snake poison is ingested by oral route, those enzymes will undergo chemical changes before absorption, and it will be these ‘changed’ molecules that act in our body.
At the same time, we are potentizing vegetable and animal drugs, we are preparing molecular imprints of the ORIGINAL MOLECULES in the drug substance, not the CHANGED molecules that bind to the biological molecules and produce symptoms.
That means, potentized forms of vegetable and animal drugs may not be capable of acting as EXACT similimum, even if indicated by symptoms.
Regarding mineral drugs, the drug molecules or ions enter the body without much changes, and produce molecular inhibitions. Hence, potentized mineral drugs can remove the molecular inhibitions PERFECTLY, when applied as similimum.
I know, there will be many confusions and questions on this subject, since this is the first time this topic is raised. LET US CONTINUE DISCUSSION until all confusions are resolved.
My point is, ALL molecular errors produced in the organism by a vegetable or animal drug cannot be removed by using the potentized forms of those drugs. This is because, it is the ORIGINAL molecules of drug that are potentized, but it is the CHANGED molecules that produce many of the molecular errors and symptoms. That means similia principle should be understood from this angle also
That means, all molecular errors in a person cannot be removed by potentized form of a vegetable-animal drug, even if it seems to be perfectly indicated by ‘totality of symptoms’, since there is an anomaly between the drug molecules that were used for potentization and the drug molecules that actually produced the symptoms. Hope my point is clear.
My point is different, sir. It is not an issue of mineral or vegetable. I am talking about the changes that happen in COMPLEX proteinaceous molecules in animal-vegetable drugs before they act upon the biological molecules, when administered for proving. And pointing to the anomaly between molecular imprints prepared from ORIGINAL molecules, and symptoms produced by CHANGED molecules. Reagarding mineral drugs, their ions and molecules act upon biological molecules without any change, and hence, molecular imprints will be exactly fitting to the ions that produced symptoms.
Your comment deals with an entirely different subject. Kindly try to understand what i tried to explain. If you did not get what i said, kindly avoid making comments that are outside the purview of my topic. We can discuss it later, when i succeed in explaining my point in a better way

Central and State medical councils and governments have rightly initiated actions against the conduct of unrecognized post graduate diploma course (PG Hom(London) of Hahnemann Collegeof Homeopathy, London by a an Indian franchisee in mumbai. It is a welcome move.
Hpathy and its supremo Dr Manish Bhatia is acting as an Indian franchisee for conducting a similar unrecognized high profile homeopathy course of George Vithoulkas, not only for homeopathy graduates but lay men also, and offering DIPLOMAS at high cost of INR 2 lakhs and more! I wonder why the authorities spare these people, while closing down the PG hom team?
Another funny thing is, the Dr. M. K. Sahani, Chairman, Education Committee of Central Council of Homoeopathy and Professor and Head, Dept. of Repertory at G.D. Memorial Homoeopathic Medical College, Patna(Bihar) is also the Chairman of Research Institute Of Sahani Drug Transmission & Homoeopathy in Patna, an institution running ‘post-graduate’ course for teaching HAIR TRANSMISSION HOMEOPATHY, and offering a diploma on that ‘speciality’ for homeopathy graduates. Why the laws of our land is not equally applicable to all?
——————————————————————————————————————
Most of those ‘new remedies’ appearing in ‘modern’ repertories are not proved systematically according to homeopathic methods. Many provings are done by nonsense methods such as dream proving, meditation proving trituration proving etc. UTTER NONSENSE. They have ‘proved’ even berlin wall, saturn and rainbow! If you read those symptoms they ‘recorded’ by their ‘provings’, you can realize they are nothing but fancies and wild imaginations. Claims of ‘clinical experiences’ is only a part of that absurd game.
—————————————————————————————————————-
There is a DIALECTICAL relationship between THEORY and PRACTICE. All PRACTICE is knowingly or unknowingly guided by a THEORY of some sorts. All THEORY knowingly or unknowingly evolve from PRACTICE.
——————————————————————————————————————
When we say ‘rare remedy’, that only means our knowledge about that remedy is very ‘rare’.
They are prescribed rarely, only because they are indicated rarely, since we know very little about their actions and symptoms. Once it is proved completely, and we have all the symptoms it could produce in all ogans in our body, it will be frequently indicated, and it will no more be called a rare dug
————————————————————————————————————–
In my opinion, drug substances consisting of ‘protein molecules’ have to be administered by parenteral routes for perfect proving. If given orally, these protein molecules are worked upon by digestive enzymes and chemically modified before entering the circulation as constituent amino acids. Effects they produce in our body will be entirely different when administered by oral and parenteral routes. This explains the difference between symptoms produced by snake bites and provings of snake poisons. This is applicable to provings of enzymes, nosodes, hormones such as insulin etc etc. Effects of egg albumin taken by mouth and by injections is a striking example.
Potentized forms contain molecular imprints of protein molecules. But when we use them in molecular form by administering by oral route, those molecules are proved in in aform modified by digestive process. That means, symptoms will not represent the original molecules which are potentized.
Snake poisons applied orally will produce symptoms entirely different from those which are produced when they are applied by parenteral route.
———————————————————————————————————————-
I prefer to use those old repertories which were born out of dedication of their compilers to homeopathy- not market interests.
I am fed up with the so-called modern repertories, ever-swollen up with unreliable ‘clinical’ symptoms lavishly added on the basis of claims of experiences of individual practitioners. They are nothing but exaggerated interpretations and imaginations, without any scientific rationale or objective verification.
A lot of new drugs added in new repertories without any source of scientific proving. Many so called modern high potency provings are nothing more than placebo effects and imaginations of provers. Even drugs proven by those nonsense dream proving and meditation proving are also included in some modern repertories. They only aim to make their repertories appear bigger than their competitor in the market. They try to make the homeopathic community believe that it is the number of NEW RUBRICS AND NEW DRUGS that decide rhe quality and reliability of a repertory. They purchase the consent of INTERNATIONAL MASTERS to use their names as ‘sources’ for the new additions, so that they appear authentic and reliable.
Even though there are many corrections to be made, I love our old repertories such as kent, which were born out of love and dedication for homeopathy, rather than the petty business interests that motivate the modern compilers.
Of course, our repertories have to be modernized and updated. A lot of filtering has to be done. But that should be done by an international body of scientific minded homeopaths, who are not driven by personal business interests. That should not be left to the discretion of market forces.
Until that happens, I prefer to continue with our old repertories.

SCOPE OF HOMEOPATHY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES:
What we call DIABETES is a GROUP of metabolic diseases with entirely different MOLECULAR basis, but presenting through some what similar clinical problems.
Clinically, all conditions with high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. are grouped under DIABETES. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
There are three main types of diabetes mellitus (DM).
Type 1 DM results from the body’s failure to produce insulin, and currently requires the person to inject insulin or wear an insulin pump. This form was previously referred to as “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” (IDDM) or “juvenile diabetes”.
Type 2 DM results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. This form was previously referred to as non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or “adult-onset diabetes”.
The third main form, gestational diabetes occurs when pregnant women without a previous diagnosis of diabetes develop a high blood glucose level. It may precede development of type 2 DM.
Other forms of diabetes mellitus include congenital diabetes, which is due to genetic defects of insulin secretion, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, steroid diabetes induced by high doses of glucocorticoids, and several forms of monogenic diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin resistance, which may be combined with relatively reduced insulin secretion. The defective responsiveness of body tissues to insulin is believed to involve the insulin receptor. In the early stage of type 2, the predominant abnormality is reduced insulin sensitivity. At this stage, hyperglycemia can be reversed by a variety of measures and medications that improve insulin sensitivity or reduce glucose production by the liver.
INSULIN RECEPTORS are transmembrane receptors that are activated by insulin, IGF-I, IGF-II and belongs to the large class of tyrosine kinase receptors. Metabolically, the insulin receptor plays a key role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, a functional process that under degenerate conditions may result in a range of clinical manifestations including diabetes and cancer.
Endogenous ligands of INSULIN RECEPTORS include insulin, IGF-I and IGF-II. The binding of ligand to the receptor induces a chain of biochemical processes leading to blood glucose homeostasis.
Insulin receptors, work by causing the addition of a phosphate group to particular tyrosines on certain proteins within a cell, which eventually leads to an increase in the high affinity glucose transporter molecules on the outer membrane of insulin-responsive tissues, including muscle cells and adipose tissue, and therefore to an increase in the uptake of glucose from blood into these tissues. In other words, the glucose transporter molecules are transported from cellular vesicles to the cell surface, where it then can mediate the transport of glucose into the cell.
THIS IS THE EXACT MOLECULAR MECHANISM BY WHICH INSULIN CONTROLS SUGAR METABOLISM WITH IN THE CELLS
The main activity of activation of the insulin receptor is inducing glucose uptake. For this reason “insulin insensitivity”, or a decrease in insulin receptor signaling, leads to diabetes mellitus type 2 – the cells are unable to take up glucose, and the result is hyperglycemia or an increase in circulating glucose, and all the sequelae that result from diabetes.
There is a group of diabetic cases, where the defect is purely related with a GENETIC DISORDER, resulting in a totally non-functional insulin receptor. They present with fluctuations of the glucose level: After a meal the glucose is initially very high, and then falls rapidly to abnormally low levels. HOMEOPATHY HAS NO SCOPE IN THESE CASES.
Prediabetes indicates a condition that occurs when a person’s blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 DM. Many people destined to develop type 2 DM spend many years in a state of prediabetes which has been termed “America’s largest healthcare epidemic.”[10]:10–11
Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is a condition in which type 1 DM develops in adults. Adults with LADA are frequently initially misdiagnosed as having type 2 DM, based on age rather than etiology.
Genetic mutations (autosomal or mitochondrial) can lead to defects in beta cell function.
Abnormal insulin action may also have been genetically determined in some cases.
Any disease- CHRONIC PANCREATITIS, CYSTIC FIBROSIS- that causes extensive damage to the pancreas may lead to diabetes
Diseases associated with excessive secretion of insulin-antagonistic hormones can cause diabetes (which is typically resolved once the hormone excess is removed).
Many drugs impair insulin secretion and some toxins damage pancreatic beta cells, leading to DIABETES.
The following is a comprehensive list of other causes of diabetes:
1. Genetic defects of β-cell function- Maturity onset diabetes of the young- Mitochondrial DNA mutations
2. Genetic defects in insulin processing or insulin action- Defects in proinsulin conversion- insulin gene mutations- Insulin receptor mutations
3. Exocrine pancreatic defects- Chronic pancreatitis- Pancreatectomy- Pancreatic neoplasia- Cystic fibrosis- Hemochromatosis- Fibrocalculous pancreatopathy
4. Endocrinopathies- Growth hormone excess (acromegaly)- Cushing syndrome- Hyperthyroidism- Pheochromocytoma- Glucagonoma
5. Infections- Cytomegalovirus infection- Coxsackievirus B
6. Drugs- Glucocorticoids- Thyroid hormone- β-adrenergic agonists- Statins
My method of managing DIABETES:
SIMILIMUM is selected using PHYSICAL GENERALS, MENTALS and PARTICULARS. In certain cases, it may not be single, but multiple, depending upon symptoms. Doses repeated daily for long period.
CORTISONE 30, PITUTRIN 30, PANCREATINUM 30, INSULINUM 30, ACTH 30, THYROIDINUM 30, CARCINOCIN 30, ADRENALIN 30, SULPHUR 30 etc are also used ALONG WITH selected similimum.
———————————————————————————————————————-
Pancreatic enzymes play a big role in destroying beta cells and producing a state of diabetes. Hence, molecular imprints of constituent molecules of pancreatic extract is expected to reverse it, if used before total destruction of beta cells. That is why PANCREATINUM 30 is incorporated in the prescription.
—————————————————————————————————-
In persons with genetic disposition for cancers, especially if there is such a family history, ANTIBODIES against proteins synthesized by mutant genes will be existing in their body- whether they have cancer or not. These cancer antibodies work as chronic miasm, by attacking various off-target biological molecules. In my opinion, we should consider CARCINOCIN to be included in all chronic prescriptions, especially METABOLIC diseases such as DIABETES and various AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

Lectures on Homœopathic Materia Medica- Dr. James Tyler Kent:
“Pulsatilla is a hot-blooded patient, but after using that remedy a while you notice that the patient goes to the other extreme and becomes chilly, and wants much clothing; the heat is taken out of the case. Silicea is the natural follower of Puls., and you would be astonished to know how often a patient leaving Puls. runs toward Sil.”
Ears(pains, discharges, tinnitus, sensations, hearing), Extremities(pains, numbness, cramps, coldness, peculiar sensations), Eyes(lachrymation, discolorations, sensations, swelling, visual), Face(swelling, discolorations), Alternating symptoms, if any, Perspiration(increased, decreased, localized, offensive, other peculiarities),
Skin(eruptions, colors, special sensations, coldness), Sleep(positions, dreams), Urinary(frequency, stranguary, burning, color, sediments, odor), Mind(mental abnormalities, fears, loquacity, anger, irritability, disposition), Physical generals(paroxysms, dropsy, trembling, weakness- chill- chilliness, vertigo).2. MODALITIES: Time modalities, Conditional modalities3. LOCATIONS: Sides, peculiar body regions4. CAUSATION: Dietary irregularities, Exposures etc.Collect maximum available symptoms under above FOUR categories. Even if you get minimum one prominent symptom each belonging to all these four categories, a reasonable prescription consisting of one or two drugs could be easily worked out, which will bring down temperature if used repeatedly in 30c potency.If we have a good repertory software, and know how to use its sophisticated tools, it is a matter of a few minutes. Repertorization will be over by the time case taking is finished, if we work out the case using tools for ‘smart’ ways of case taking and repertorization.
Years back, I had a wonderful experience with prescribing for fever. My 5 year old son was suffering from fever for days. In spite of all my desperate attempts, temperature did not come down even after ten days. At night, the temperature will go up to 103 F. Whole family was very much worried. For me, it was very hard to accept failure and take him to allopath. One night at 12 pm, I was sitting sleepless at the bedside of son, who was much exhausted and asleep. Suddenly, I noticed he was SLEEPING WITH LEGS CROSSED. Without awakening him, I separated his legs. Instantly, he would cross the lower limbs again. I tried to keep is legs apart many times, but he crossed limbs again instantly. I sensed some peculiarity in his behavior, and took KENT repertory and searched for an appropriate rubric. I failed to get one. Then I searched in Boericke Repertory, and could locate following rubric:
[Boericke]Nervous system : SLEEP : Position : Must lie : Legs [with] : Crossed:- Rhod.
I decided to try RHODODENDRON. But there was no RHODO available in my medicine chest. Finally, could locate an old plastic vial labelled RHODO 30, and there was only some powdery remnants sticking in its bottom. I added some cold water into vial, and gave it to my son, without awakening him. After ten minutes, to my wonder, the boy was perspiring, temperature was gone! Next morning, he was very much normal and playing.
IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE THAT TAUGHT ME A GREAT LESSON IN PRESCRIBING FOR FEVERS.
AN ‘ABNORMAL BASIC SYMPTOM’ COMBINED WITH ITS ‘CHARACTERISTIC ACCESSORY SYMPTOMS’ FORMS A ‘COMPLETE HOMEOPATHIC SYMPTOM’.Success in homeopathic practice depends up on physician’s skills to collect as many ‘complete symptoms’ as possible in a particular case he is dealing with.First of all, we should be capable of differentiating between ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ symptoms.‘Normal’ symptoms are those which represent ‘normal’ physiological processes in organism, which have no role in determining a similimum. Normal thirst, normal perspiration, normal bowel movements, normal appetite, normal sleep, normal emotions, normal body temperature, normal thermal responses etc etc.Normal thirst represents normal physiology. But, if a person is thirstless in conditions where he should be thirsty, for example, when exposed in hot atmosphere for long time, it shows an abormality. To be extremely thirsty in very cold climate is also abnormal. Feeling extremely hot in chilly climates abnormal, and feeling chilly in very hot climate is also abnormal. Perspiring in hot climate is normal, but in cold climate is abnormal. Soft stool passed with difficulty is abnormal, but hard stool passed with difficulty is normal.‘Abnormal’ symptoms are those symptoms that represent an ‘abnormal’ state of affairs in the organism- or, a molecular level pathology. It is these ‘abnormal’ symptoms that decide our selection of similimum. Abnormal thermal reactions, abnormal emotions, abnormal body temperature, abnormal appetite, abnormal thirst, abnormal sleep, abnormal perspiration, abnormal behaviors etc etc.Identifying ‘abnormal’ symptoms is a tough task, if we are not aware of ‘normal physiology’ that are represented by ‘normal symptoms’.Next stage is, identifying ‘basic symptoms’ and ‘accessory symptoms’.A ‘basic symptom’, such as headache, joint pain, abdominal pain or any such ‘complaints’ for which a person seeks medical aid, becomes a valuable homeopathic symptom, ONLY when it is made ‘complete’ by adding with their ‘characteristic’ ‘accessory’ symptoms.‘Accessory symptoms’ are factors that make a ‘basic’ symptom a ‘complete’ one.The word ‘accessory’ means something that ‘adds completeness’ to something else. In that sense an ‘accessory symptom’ might be a symptom that gives ‘completeness’ for another symptom. If a ‘headache’ is ‘amel by cold applications’, ‘amel by cold applications’ is the ‘accessory’ of the symptom ‘headache’, thereby making it a ‘complete symptom’.
Locations, presentations, sensations, modalities, concomittants, extensions etc constitute the broad class of ‘accessory symptoms’. Such factors make the symptoms ‘complete’. Accessory factors are also known as ‘symptom qualifications’. ‘ACCESSORY’ seems to be more meaningful and appropriate.
Accessory symptoms may be either ‘essential/common’ or characteristic/uncommon’. We are concerned with only ‘characteristic/uncommon’ accessories. A joint pain increasing by movement is common, but relieving by movement is uncommon. Sensation of heat relieving by cold application is common, but relieving by heat is uncommon. A joint pain increasing by movement is common, but relieving by movement is uncommon. Sensation of heat relieving by cold application is common, but relieving by heat is uncommon. Toothache relieved by chewing is uncommon, but increased by chewing is common.
Once the patient describes a ‘basic symptom’, homeopath should be always on the look out for as many related characteristic accessories that would make it a ‘complete symptom’. Converting trivial ‘basic symptoms’ into valuable ‘complete’ symptoms need much observation and reasoning skills on the part of homeopath, which decides his success as homeopath.
We should ignore Normal Basic Symptoms, and collect only Abnormal Basic Symptoms. We should ignore Essential/Common Accessory Symptoms, and collect only Characteristic/Uncommon Accessory Symptoms. This is the secret of successful case taking.
Here is the success formula for finding perfect similimum:
Abnormal Basic symptom+ Characteristic Accessory symptoms = Complete Homeopathic symptom >>> Perfect Similimum.
The complaints that arise in this kind of case, even the acute complaints, will run to Sulphur.”What does this statement mean?KENT SAYS: “Sulphur state is sometimes brought about by being long housed up and adapting the diet to the stomach”That means, Kent considers SULPHUR CONSTITUTION is not GENETIC, but ‘brought about’.He says “Sulfur produces this state of disorder”. And “he has become so from long periods of indigestion, bad assimilation and feeble nutrition”
For the time being, only thing I can say affirmatively is that “molecular imprints cannot interact each other, and there cannot be any harm by combining any number of drugs together”. Everything else belonging to the ‘practical’ side should be experimented and resolved. Hoping for the best.
A drug considered “rightly selected” by the physician need not be always the “perfect similimum”. Even a ‘well selected’ drug may lack some of the molecular imprints required for removing ALL the molecular inhibitions in your patient. In such a situation, there will be a certain amount of RESIDUAL symptoms representing the RESIDUAL inhibitions, and they may come to the fore when prominent existing symptoms disappear by the action of our drug. We interpret such ‘drug induced’ ‘re-adjustments’ of symptoms appearing in the patients as MEDICINAL aggravations
One homeopath friend commented on my post: “Every aspect of homeopathy needs to be explained in the light of present knowledge but its fundamentals should not be distorted- it should be in accordance to homeopathy”.This statement reflects a fear that his most cherished ‘fundamentals’ of homeopathy may get ‘distorted’ when homeopathy is explained “in the light of present knowledge”.His fear is reasonable. I don’t think anybody can explain “every aspect” of homeopathy without “distorting” its “fundamentals.” We should not expect that ‘every’ aspect of homeopathic theory and practice could be ‘explained’ in terms of modern science.His fear evolves from the fact that homeopathy is taught as a closed system of eternally immutable ‘laws’, ‘rules’, ‘principles’ and ‘methods’ every ‘true’ homeopath is bound to ‘obey’. We hear ‘seven cardinal principles of hahnemann’, ‘hering laws’, ‘kents observations’ and many other ‘theories’ that rule the practice of homeopathy. Anybody violating or thinking beyond these ‘fundamental laws’ are considered to be ‘wrong homeopaths’. And they ask science to explain “every aspect” of homeopathy without “distorting” its “fundamentals”!We should remember, no ‘masters’ so far knew what really happens during potentization. Nobody so far knew what are the exact active principles of potentized drugs. Nobody so far knew the exact molecular level mechanism by which the active principles of potentized drugs interact with the biological organism and produce a therapeutic effect. Only things our masters actually knew was the objective natural phenomena of ‘likes curing likes’ and ‘high dilution effects’.Everything else were mere speculations. Speculations based on unscientific philosophy of ‘dynamism’ and ‘vitalism’. All ‘laws’, ‘rules’, ‘methods’ and ‘doctrines’ we consider as ‘cardinal principles of homeopathy evolved from these speculative theories. All ‘directions’ regarding ‘doses’, repetitions’, ‘single drugs’, ‘follow ups’ and everything else were formulated without clearly knowing the substances we are actually dealing with or how they actually work. They were based on misinterpreted ‘experiences’ of ‘stalwarts’ with historically limited scientific knowledge.Once we acquire scientific knowledge regarding the exact processes involved in potentization, active principles of potentized drugs and the molecular mechanism of their therapeutic action, all the existing ‘methods’, ‘laws’, ‘rules’ and ‘principles’ are bound to change. New ‘principles’ and ‘methods’ will evolve. That means, we will have to discard, change or ‘distort’ many things so far considered as ‘fundamentals’ of homeopathy.I am talking about ‘principles’ and ‘methods’ of homeopathic practice such as ‘dose’ and ‘repetitions’ on the basis of my scientific understanding of potentization as ‘molecular imprinting’, active principles of potentized drugs as ‘molecular imprints’, and homeopathic therapeutics as removal of biochemical inhibitions. My explanations cannot be expected to be strictly in accordance with what you consider inevitable ‘laws’ of homeopathy.Acquiring a scientific understanding of the phenomena involved in ‘similia similibus curentur’ and ‘potentization’, and applying that knowledge judiciously for curing the sick- that should be the only ‘fundamental rule’ that guide a homeopath.’Likes cures likes’ and ‘high dilution effects’ represent the objective part of homepathy, which are concerned with truthful observations of natural phenomena involved in the process of ‘cure’. This is the strong and rational aspect of homeopathy that have to be preserved, explored and advanced into more and more perfection.The theoretical explanatory part of homeopathy, which is based on totally unscientific and irrational philosophy of ‘dynamism’ and ‘vitalism’ of eighteenth century europe, as well as the ‘rules’, ‘laws’ and ‘methods’ formulated accordingly, is the real stumbling block that prevents this wonderful therapeutic art from advancing into a scientific medical system.We have to preserve and strengthen the rational objective aspect of homeopathy, and explain it in terms of modern scientific knowledge. We should show the audacity to discard its irrational and unscientific theoretical parts. Once we understand the real science involved in the phenomena of ‘likes cure likes’ and ‘potentization’, a whole new set of practical ‘rules’ and ‘laws’ would spontaneously evolve.In the PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION of ORGANON, Dr Hahnemann made the following statement:
“In this third edition I have not refrained from making any alterations and emendations suggested by increased knowledge and necessitated by further experience.”
This statement is a fitting answer to those ‘dogmatic’ homeopaths who argue nothing could be changed or updated in homeopathy.
Hahenemann advises us not to “refrain” from making “alterations and emendations”, if “suggested by increased knowledge and necessitated by further experience.”
Can anybody explain vital force’ in scientific terms? Can anybody explain ‘dynamic force’ and ‘drug energy’ in terms of modern science? NO. Because they have no SCIENCE in it! They are totally unscientific concepts being part of philosophy of DYNAMISM
Her distress was intense. As her father watched her, he noted that she rolled constantly from side to side.
This reminded him of the description of TARENTULA just published, which he had read a few days previously, emphasizing this feature.
He administered TARENTULA and obtained for the sufferer euthanasia that appeared impossible before.”KENT do not say whether TARENTULA was used in potency or crude form, or how many doses or how much quantity it was given. Being a case of LIPPE and reported by KENT, we can guess it would by high potency and single dose.It may be a fact that the patient became calm after that dose of tarentula. But is it right to say it was a ‘euthanasia’ CAUSED by ‘tarentula’, only due to the fact that the death happened AFTER giving that dose? It is obvious that the patient was in terminal condition, and the fact that “she rolled constantly from side to side” may be the symptom of deathly distress. Presumably, death was normal in this case, and tarentula is not the cause of death.Did anybody, after this reported death, ever could produce a EUTHANASIA using TARENTULA? Did anybody conduct any experiment to prove TARENTULA can produce euthanasis?The problem here I think is, KENT and LIPPE considered every events happening AFTER administration of a dose as EFFECTS of that dose. This is a common problem for all homeopaths, who believe in ‘marvels’ of homeopathic doses.
Many homeopaths do satisfactory practice even without using a computer and a software. They should understand, they can do MUCH BETTER practice and produce much better cures if they use a computer and a good homeopathic clinical software.
A homeopath, POOR in theory and art of homeopathy cannot become a GOOD homeopath merely by adding a computer and software into his tool kit. But, one who has GOOD mastery over theory and art of homeopathy can become a much BETTER homeopath if he uses such sophisticated technological enhancements in his practice.

I am very thankful to those who criticize me and ask difficult questions, even if it be as part of their bid to ‘prove’ me wrong. Such criticisms and question help me a lot in making me think more, rectify my mistakes and make MIT concepts more and more perfect. My distracters and antagonists contributed indirectly a lot in developing my ideas. Without them, MIT would not have reached its present stage of perfection.
———————————————————————————————————-
Getting hard and unexpected questions on every possible aspects of our concepts, and giving rational and scientific answers to them, is a good practical way of knowing whether we are right or not. I have been subjecting MIT concepts to this verification process by discussing it on facebook. It has fully convinced me that I am on right path.
—————————————————————————————
According to scientific definition, a HYPOTHESIS is any idea put forward to explain a known but still unexplained phenomenon in a way fitting to existing knowledge system, that could be verified according to scientific methods. An idea that could not be PROVED or DISPROVED by scientific methods cannot be called a HYPOTHESIS.
If a HYPOTHESIS is PERFECT and SCIENTIFIC, it should be capable of answering any questions related with the phenomenon we are trying to study. It is the FIRST step in verifying a HYPOTHESIS.
That is why I respond to any questions anybody ask. I am trying to find answers to ALL questions related with homeopathy using MIT concepts, and I am very happy to see that I can explain everything. That shows, MIT hypothesis is well QUALIFIED to be considered as a WORKING HYPOTHESIS to be presented as a rightful candidate for verifications according to SCIENTIFIC METHODS.
————————————————————————————-
You have the right to BELIEVE “cardinal principles of homeopathy are valid for all times”. Let it be so. I don’t expect everybody to change their ‘beliefs’ by debating with me.
You have to remember, those ‘cardinal principles’ ‘valid for all times’ were constructed with out any knowledge regarding ‘what happens during drug proving’, ‘what are the active principles of potentized drugs, or ‘what is the biological mechanism by which potentized drugs act’.
Masters’ understanding of potentization, potentized drugs and process of cure were based on totally unscientific ‘vital force’ theory and ‘dynamic energy theory. I don’t think they are ‘valid for all times, but changeable as our knowledge advances.
I am perceiving potentization in terms of molecular imprinting, and homeopathic cure in terms of modern biochemistry. My views are bound to differ with your BELIEFS. You are free to believe in what you think ‘valid for all times’. I know I cannot change your belief through an argument.
——————————————————————————————-
I am happy to hear anybody saying they SERIOUSLY disagree with my MIT concepts. At least I can expect they would have read carefully whatever I have written about MIT and understood my explanations, so that they could disagree. DISAGREEING after reading and understanding is more welcome than AGREEING without reading or understanding anything I say.
———————————————————————————————–
Asking me to read Aphorism 1 when I ask questions about the biological mechanism of homeopathic drug action is like asking you to read BIBLE if you have any doubts regarding your computer system- FUNNY!
————————————————————————————-
Kindly realize, In this age of scientific awareness and enlightenment, APHORISM 1 provides only a very fragile defense for your IGNORANCE of science, LAZINESS to learn new things, and the INERTIA that makes you satisfied with your existing poor knowledge.
——————————————————————————————-
I made it clear many times earlier: MIT is only a HYPOTHESIS. But it is a SCIENTIFIC hypothesis- a WORKING hypothesis. It has to be yet VALIDATED using scientific methods.
But remember, MIT is the first ever SCIENTIFIC hypothesis in the history of homeopathy, that fits well to the existing scientific knowledge system. NOBODY ever proposed such a SCIENTIFIC hypothesis that could be presented as a candidate for validation using scientific methods.
A concept is called a SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS when it succeeds in explaining a phenomenon using EXISTING SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE. MIT explains homeopathy using modern scientific knowledge of BIOCHEMISTRY and MOLECULAR IMPRINTING. That is the first step in evolving of a SCIENTIFIC THEORY.
————————————————————————————–
MIT is only a theoretical MODEL for biological mechanism of homeopathic cure, based on BIOCHEMISTRY and MOLECULAR IMPRINTING.
MIT answers TWO basic question of homeopathy:
1. What are the active principles of potentized drugs? MOLECULAR IMPRINTS.
2. What is the molecular mechanism by which potentized drugs act upon the organism and produce cure? REMOVAL OF MOLECULAR INHIBITIONS.
Everything else I talk come as natural, logical implications of this basic understanding of homeopathy.
———————————————————————————————–
Most homeopaths resents MIT concepts, thinking it is all about multi-drug prescriptions and combination remedies. My adversaries always stress on this point to keep homeopaths away from considering MIT seriously. Some people think that they will have to become multi-drug prescribers once the accept MIT concepts.
I want to clarify. MIT is basically scientific model that explains the biological mechanism of homeopathic therapeutics based on biochemistry and molecular imprinting. It answers to TWO basic question: 1. What are the active principles of potentized drugs? 2. What is the molecular mechanism by which potentized drugs act upon the organism and produce cure?
Issue of multiple-single drugs arises only when people ask such a question. It is not part of MIT model. It is the answer to questions related with practice. I said, there is ‘no harm’ in combining two or more drugs in potencies above 12c, since they contain no drug molecules. It does not mean ‘single drug’ cannot cure, if it is indicated by totality of symptoms. I said, why should we think about multiple drugs if single drug can do the job?
Once you understand drug substances in terms of ‘molecular imprints’ of constituent molecules, you cannot answer this question any other way. Concept of ‘single drug’ and ‘multiple drugs’ becomes irrelevant once we understand that even ‘single’ drugs are actually combinations of diverse types of molecular imprints that never interact each other. ‘Molecular imprints cannot interact each other, and they cannot prevent biological molecules from interacting with their natural ligands’. Once we accept this basic scientific truth, we need not ‘theoretically’ declare ‘multiple drugs’ are harmful. That does not mean MIT is ‘multiple drug therapy’. You can use multiple drugs or single drugs as you prefer and as your case demands. It is not an important issue of MIT concepts.
Nobody can deny the fact that majority of homeopaths use ‘multiple’ drugs in their practice, even though they never dare to admit it in public, due to the fear that community may label them ‘unhomeopathic’ if they do so. They produce excellent results also, by this method. Whether you call it complementary prescriptions, intercurrent prescriptions, alternating prescriptions, layer prescriptions or any such things, they are all ‘multiple’ drug prescriptions. Whether you ‘combine’ drugs in your bottle or inside the body of the patient by administering as alternating doses, drugs act as ‘combinations’ inside the organism.
MIT is not ‘multiple drug’ therapy. It is only a theoretical model for biological mechanism of homeopathic cure. Only thing is, MIT provides homeopaths the courage of conviction to admit what they actually do- without fear, forebodings or shame. They know what they do- no need of pretensions and show offs.
—————————————————————————————–
If I am asked to define who is a HOMEOPATH, I would say: “ANYBODY who can CURE a reasonable percentage of sick persons having ailments belonging to CURABLE categories, or give RELIEF in INCURABLE diseases, using MOLECULAR IMPRINTS forms of drug substances, which if applied in molecular forms in healthy individuals will be capable of producing ‘disease’ or ‘symptoms’ similar to the disease being treated, is a HOMEOPATH”.
————————————————————————————
To be called a homeopath:
1. He should be capable of CURING a reasonable percentage of cases belonging to curable categories.
2. He should be capable of giving RELIEF to incurable cases.
3. He should use ONLY ‘molecular imprints’ forms of drugs, ie: potencies not below 12c. Molecular mechanism of drug actions of crude drugs are not homeopathic, but allopathic.
4. Prescriptions should be based on the principle of SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR, understood in its SCIENTIFIC meaning- not ‘vitalistic’ meaning.
Unless one does nor satisfy these FOUR CRITERIA, he is not a homeopath- what ever labels he has, whatever credentials he has, what ever qualifications he has, whatever authorities he has, whatever claims he has, how much patients he has, how much money he makes, how much followers he has, whatever positions he holds, how much famous he is…….
———————————————————————————————-
Can you free your mind from silly personal jealousies and theoretical prejudices for a while? Can you free your mind from the burden of your old lessons and beliefs for a while? Can you spend at least an hour for carefully reading an article on ‘molecular imprints therapeutics’ and think over it for a while with an open mind? Can you spend a few minutes searching the web the meaning of some technical terms used in the article that you feel difficult to comprehend?
If you can do at least that much, you will experience a great revolutionary transormation happening in your vision as a homeopath by understanding MIT concepts. How it changes the way you perceive and practice homeopathy. You will start wondering how you could so far afford to miss or ignore this simple wonderful revelation going around here for some time now.
——————————————————————————————-
According to my view, we cannot prevent ALL the different types of epidemic fevers with a SINGLE drug or SINGLE dose. Different fevers need different MOLECULAR IMPRINTS, and we should ensure all the required molecular imprints are provided in the MEDICINE we give. I would suggest to determine GENUS EPIDEMICUS of different fevers prevalent during this season, and make a combination of all those selected drugs in 30C potency. That combination should be taken TWICE DAILY for a reasonable period, until current epidemics are over.
IMMUNE BOOSTING happens only if our drugs contain MOLECULAR IMPRINTS that can bind to pathogenic molecules, thereby preventing them from interacting with biological molecules .
——————————————————————————————-
I would never ask a patient whether he is hot or cold. While collecting particular symptoms, I would also try to get thermal modalities of maximum particulars. When talking about thirst, I will try to know whether he prefers warm or cold water. I would try to know whether he prefers foods warm or cold. Any preferences in bathing cold or warm? I will try to know whether he prefers covering head, whether he prefers light dresses or woolen ones. Whether he want to cover the whole body during sleep? Whether he likes to sit without much dresses always, and why so. I would also try to know whether he prefers fanning, open windows etc. I would listen whether he complains over sweating. I would note when his complaints aggravate, in hot climates or cold climates.
By analyzing all these particular modalities and preferences, I can decide whether the patient is HOT or COLD in GENERAL. If I could not reach such a conclusion AFFIRMATIVELY, I never consider GENERAL THERMALS as repertorial rubric.
Most patients are not much sure about their thermals, if they are not so much prominent. If we ask direct questions or leading questions, they will say something answer. Such answers are unreliable. If we ask same questions in successive interiviews, they give different answer, as they do not remember what they said earlier
——————————————————————————————-
MOLECULAR IMPRINTS cannot produce any molecular inhibitions, and hence cannot produce any harm, even if used without any indications. Molecular imprints cannot interfere the interactions between biological molecules and their natural ligands
—————————————————————————————–
Once we rebuild the theoretical model of homeopathy with a “working hypothesis which sound logical”, we cannot keep existing structures intact. Existing “homoeopathic experience and discipline” is based on totally unscientific concepts such as ‘vital force theory’ ‘dynamic immaterial energy’ , where as MIT is based on modern biochemistry and molecular imprinting.
If MIT concepts are right, we will have to ‘inevitably’- not intentionally for that matter- do some ‘cutting and crippling’. It happens naturally. My “conclusions” VALIDATE- not ‘going against’ all the TRUE EXPERIENCES in homeopathy. But go against all WRONG INTERPRETATIONS so far made about those “true homoeopathic experience and discipline”. I fear you confused between “true experiences” and their “wrong interpretations”. MIT preserves the “true experience”, but discards their unscientific “interpretations”.
————————————————————————————-
WHAT I AM DO IS, ‘CUTTING THE HAT TO MAKE IT FITTING TO THE HEAD’, NOT”CUTTING THE HEAD ACCORDING TO THE HAT”.
So far, HAT or the subjective theoretical explanations worn by homeopathy was not fitting to the HEAD or objective truth of homeopathy- similia similibus curentur and potentization. I AM CUTTING A NEW HAT THAT FITS WELL.
—————————————————————————————–
Is it right to say homeopathy uses only NATURAL remedies? The term NATURAL actually implies substances used as medicines in the forms it naturally exists. If we mean ‘derived from nature’, all drugs- even synthetic ones- are basically derived from nature.
Can we consider potentized drugs NATURAL? POTENTIZATION of drugs never happens spontaneously in nature. It is an ARTIFICIAL process, by which molecular imprints are synthesized. I think potentized drugs are more SYNTHETIC, than NATURAL.
————————————————————————————————
ESSENTIAL first step in understanding MIT explanation of homeopathy is to understand drug substances in terms diverse types of individual CONSTITUENT molecules, instead of the SINGLE DRUG concept strongly got fixed in the minds of homeopaths. It is the structure, conformations and chemical properties of INDIVIDUAL MOLECULES contained in a drug that decide the medicinal properties of DRUG substance. MOLECULAR IMPRINTING happens as ‘individual’ molecules, DRUGS act on the biological molecules of organism as ‘individual’ molecules.
If you fail to understand this basic fact, you will fail miserably in understanding MIT, and also in understanding homeopathy as a MEDICAL SCIENCE.
When my friends again and again try to discuss ‘single-multiple’ drug issue and talk about ‘imprints of nux vomica’ and ‘imprints of pulsatilla’, I fear most of them ignore this basic lesson, even though I have been repeatedly trying to stress its vital importance.
————————————————————————————-
We should always bear in mind that any pathogenic agent, including antibodies or miasms are acting up on an existing constitutional biochemical background, determined by the individual’s specific genotype-phenotype combination.
The constituent molecules of causative factors creates the original molecular inhibitions in some or other biological molecules in the organism. In most cases that would be similar in almost all individuals affected by that particular causative agent. Any such molecular errors have a cascading effect in the organism, by the way creating new errors in new channels. When a biochemical pathway is blocked by a particular molecular inhibition some where, the accumulating metabolites may create new molecular inhibitions. That is expressed through different ‘trains’ of symptoms.
Same pathogenic agent creates different types of cascading of molecular errors and associated trains of symptoms in different individuals, depending upon their internal genotype-phenotype environments. That is why different people affected by same causative agent creates different symptom pictures and requires different drugs. Here lies the importance of symptomatic approach of homeopathy. Obviously, causative approach cannot cure all diseases, even though that may be helpful in removing original molecular inhibitions, but not secondary ones.
We will have to prescribe different drugs to remove all molecular inhibitions happened at different stages of cascading, especially in chronic diseases. Nosodes and other drugs selected on the basis of causative factors, can only remove original molecular blocks created by pathogenic molecules, not the cascading molecular errors that appeared later. That would require other appropriate indicated drugs selected on the basis of similarity of symptoms representing the molecular errors.
Cascading of molecular errors can be compared to the phenomenon of simple traffic block somewhere in a city cascades into a complete breakdown of traffic system in the whole city. A block in one junction leads to consecutive blocks in feeder roads and adjacent junctions, and gradually brings the whole traffic to standstill. If we interfere during initial stages, we can re-establish traffic by simply removing the original block. But when the whole system is broken down, you cannot re-establish traffic only by removing original block. We will have to intervene at different points in the city to resolve the problem. Same with difference in dealing with diseases at initial stages and later stages.
Obviously, the TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS may vary according to the differences in CASCADING of molecular errors, and we would need DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS of molecular imprints to tackle them.
——————————————————————————————
Secondary molecular errors are caused by cascading of molecular errors created by original pathogenic molecules. This cascading depends upon the biochemical environment as well as genotype-phenotype constitution of the individual. It is a very complex mechanism. There are a lot of variables working.
For example, if there is a psychological stress, diverse types of chemical molecules such as hormones, cytokines, neuromediators etc will be present in excess, which may modulate and enhance the cascading effects of original inhibitions caused by an infectious agent.
Molecular errors in certain metabolic pathways caused by pathological inhibitions may result in the production of many metabolic byproducts such as superoxides in the organism, which will cause new molecular errors. If enough antioxidants are present in the organism, such damages will be minimized. We have to understand the beneficial effects of various vitamins, micro-nutrients and antioxidants from this point of view also. All these factors differ from individual to individual.
——————————————————————————————–
Homeopathy is a sort of molecular level ‘repairing’ of the diseased organism. It is done by ‘scavenging’, ‘entrapping’ and ‘removing’ of ‘disease-causing’ pathogenic molecules that have inhibited the ‘biological molecules’.
To do this ‘repairing’ job, ‘molecular imprints’ of drug molecules are used as tools, which are prepared by a process of ‘molecular imprinting’, where in the three-dimensional conformations of individual drug molecules are imprinted into supra-molecular nano-structures of water-alcohol matrices through ‘host-guest’ interactions.
Appropriate ‘molecular imprints’ are selected by comparing the disease symptoms expressed by the patient and ‘drug symptoms’ previously verified and well-documented.
Principe underlying this selection process is known as ‘similia similibus curentur’, which actually means, pathological molecular inhibitions can be removed using molecular imprints of drug molecules which could produce similar inhibitions in healthy people, which will be expressed through ‘similar’ symptoms.

Nobody can make me BIG, if I am really SMALL. Nobody can make me SMALL, if I am really BIG. Whether anybody see me ‘small’ or ‘big’ is only the problem of those who see – not mine. I am what really I AM.
If MIT is right, no politicking and poo-pooing can defeat it. If MIT is wrong, no supporting and promoting can save it.

A ‘tortoise’ destined to live in a world of ‘rabbits’ cannot afford a leisure or nap, or even a slow down. He has to keep on running and running, at least to keep alive the hope for a win in the race!
And the final WINNER was the poor tortoise, as per the fables!
—————————————————————————————
Most homeopaths see only the ‘small’ man WHO proposed MIT, and fail to see WHAT ‘big’ thing really is MIT.

My grandson yesterday reminded me that my 62nd birthday is on june 10th, and wanted to know how it is going to be celbrated.
After the narrow escape from the jaws of death during that terrible heart attack two months back, i have become a bit retrospective and philosophical towards life. And I have unconsciously geared up my pace of work up on MIT, probably with an inner fear that time is falling short at my disposal.
What for I have been living all these 62 years on this earth? What for I should live a few more years here?
On this 62nd year of my innings on this beautiful earth, my mind is occupied with nothing except homeopathy and MIT. You may call it a pathological obscession, but I woul like to call it my MISSION. Now I feel, it has been the sole aim of my whole life- though I came to realize it very late.

You can ‘follow’ hahnemann in either of TWO ways:
1. BLIND or DOGMATIC
2. DIALECTIC or SCIENTIFIC.
A dogmatic blind ‘follower’, who walks 200+ years backward through history and grope in the darkness of primitive scientific knowledge environment, cannot be a ‘real’ follower of hahnemann’s legacy
A real follower should take homeopathy ‘dialectically’ forward through 200+ years of history, and make it compatible with modern scientific knowledge.
——————————————————————————————
By the time potentization crosses avogadro limit (at 12C), all the DRUG molecules will be removed from the medium, and the preparation 12c will be SATURATED with molecular imprints. Since there exist no MOLECULES, further potentization is of no use. I think 12C is the ideal potency. I use 30c, only because it is the lowest potency above 12c universally available.
———————————————————————————————
Everybody, even those ‘hair transmission’ people and ‘dream provers’ claim they are HAHNEMANNIAN HOMEOPATHS. Some of claim to be CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHS.
Homeopathy is by itself ‘hahnemannian’- no need of such an adjective for it. I would say there are homeopaths with ‘DIALECTICAL’ approach, who follow the essence of what hahnemann taught, by updating homeopathy in the light of ever-advancing SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE. There are also homeopaths with ‘DOGMATIC’ approach, who blindly follow the ‘WORDS’ of hahnemann, without understanding its essence, who lack any scientific outlook.
And of course, there are various strains of STRAY homeopaths or PERVERT homeopaths- who are neither ‘dogmatic’ nor ‘dialectic’. I consider them UNHOMEOPATHICS. Sorry to say, they form the majority!
Predictives, sankarans, hair transmissions, radionics, reflexologists, dream provers, CAM homeopaths, ‘energy medicine’ , spiritual homeopathy- all of them belong to that category of PERVERT HOMEOPATHS.
———————————————————————————————–
FOLLOWING may be in TWO ways: BLIND or DOGMATIC, and DIALECTIC or SCIENTIFIC. That is the point I want to emphasize. A dogmatic, blind ‘follower’ cannot be a real ‘follower’, who walks 200+ years backward and grope in the darkness of primitive scientific knowledge environment. A real follower should take homeopathy 200+ years forward, and make it compatible with modern scientific knowledge.
————————————————————————————————–
One homeopath wants to know: “How can we decide a patient is HOT or COLD? What are are indications to be observed to decide the thermals? What questions we have to ask to get such THERMAL indications?”
I would never ask a patient whether he is hot or cold. While collecting particular symptoms, I would also try to get thermal modalities of maximum particulars. When talking about thirst, I will try to know whether he prefers warm or cold water. I would try to know whether he prefers foods warm or cold. Any preferences in bathing cold or warm? I will try to know whether he prefers covering head, whether he prefers light dresses or woolen ones. Whether he want to cover the whole body during sleep? Whether he likes to sit without much dresses always, and why so. I would also try to know whether he prefers fanning, open windows etc. I would listen whether he complains over sweating. I would note when his complaints aggravate, in hot climates or cold climates.
By analyzing all these particular modalities and preferences, I can decide whether the patient is HOT or COLD in GENERAL. If I could not reach such a conclusion AFFIRMATIVELY, I never consider GENERAL THERMALS as repertorial rubric.
————————————————————————————————
Structure, physical conformations and chemical properties of individual CONSTITUENT MOLECULES decide the medicinal properties of drug substances. It is these individual molecules that act upon biological molecules and produce molecular inhibitions that are expressed as MENTAL and PHYSICAL symptoms.
All those who talk about ‘essence’ of drugs, ‘mind’ of drugs, ‘personality’ of drugs and ‘dynamic energy’ of drugs are actually exhibiting their gross scientific ignorance
—————————————————————————————
What is the INNER ESSENCE of DISEASE? I would say, inner essence of disease is the DISTURBED VITAL PROCESSES or biochemical pathways, arising from inhibitions of biological molecules produced by pathogenic molecules.
Hahnemann in Paragraph 7 of the Organon: “So it is the totality of symptoms, the outer image expressing the inner essence of the disease, i.e. , Of the disturbed vital force, that must be the main, even the only, means by which the disease allows us to find the necessary remedy.”
What does this statement mean when adapted into modern scientific context, when we are approaching disease and cure in terms of biological molecular processes?
Hahnemann says, TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS are the ‘outer image’ expressing the ‘inner essence’ of disease. TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS is the ‘main, even the only, means” of finding an appropriate remedy.
Due to the historical limitations of scientific knowledge available during his time, hahnemann considered the ‘inner essence’ of disease is ‘disturbed vital force’. He was not able to comprehend diseases as ‘disturbed vital processes’ at the molecular level.
Now we know, ‘inner essence’ of diseases are ‘molecular inhibitions’ produced in various biological molecules by the binding of endogenous or exogenous pathogenic molecules. Such molecular inhibitions lead to derangement in associated biochemical pathways, and these derangements are expressed through subjective and objective symptoms. It is by observing these ‘symptoms’ that we could locate the exact molecular inhibitions, and identify the biological molecules and pathogenic molecules involved. Selection of an appropriate remedy that would supply all the molecular imprints required to remove the molecular inhibitions could be made only by observing the ‘totality of symptoms’ expressed by the patient, and comparing them with the drug symptoms collected by homeopathic provings.
It is obvious that hahnemann’s observations regarding the “means by which the disease allows us to find the necessary remedy” still holds good, even we understand homeopathy in terms of biochemistry. It clearly demonstrates the correctness of ‘similia similibus curentur’.
——————————————————————————————–
SYMPTOMS representing normal physiological processes should be considered NORMAL symptoms. Homeopaths should look for ABNORMAL symptoms representing abnormal molecular processes to find similimum. Actually, persons “without having any disease,” is an utopian situation. There will be always some molecular errors, may be minor and not disturbing.
Homeopath’ s first job in case analysis is distinguishing between normal symptoms and abnormal symptoms. Normal symptoms represent normal biological processes, and is of no use in selecting a similimum. Only abnormal symptoms are valid as therapeutic indicators. Sweating in a hot atmosphere is normal. But sweating in chilly atmosphere is abnormal. Desire sweets is normal. Aversion to sweets is abnormal. Excessive craving for sweets also is abnormal
—————————————————————————————
If our drugs contain any molecules similar to any biological molecules, their molecular imprints can of course bind to biological molecules. That is the way molecular imprints of ‘sarcodes’ act. But the most important thing is, even if molecular imprints bind to biological molecules, they CANNOT prevent the interactions of biological molecules with their natural ligands, due to increased ‘charge affinity’. That is why potentized thyroidinum does not disrupt normal actions of thyroid hormones, where as they can rectify the bad effects of excess thyroid, which are due to the ‘off target’ inhibitions caused by thyroid hormones.
We can treat the ‘ailments from anxiety’ using potentized adrenalin. Here molecular imprints of adrenalin can bind to adrenalin molecules in our body, but cannot prevent adrenalin hormone from acting up on its natural biological targets. ‘AILMENTS FROM ANXIETY’ is caused by ‘off target’ binding of adrenalin molecules, which can be removed by molecular imprints of adrenalin. We have to study the dynamics of ‘comparative affinity’ to understand this phenomenon.
CARBON MONOXIDE has more affinity than OXYGEN towards the receptors on haemoglobin molecules, and can competitively bind to them, preventing oxygen binding . That is why oxygen starvation happens in our body when exposed to carbon monoxide. It is due to phenomenon of COMPARATIVE AFFINITY
——————————————————————————————
Today, I came across an Indian homeopath who claims to be in a process to develop a Homeopathic software based on his research work which could identify the Similar Homeopathic medicine for a suffering patient as soon as sensor connected to body, and he says this software will see the light in a short time.
Once he succeeds in his attempt, we will have to rewrite what hahnemann said in Aphorism 7 of the Organon: “So it is the totality of symptoms, the outer image expressing the inner essence of the disease, i.e. , Of the disturbed vital force, that must be the main, even the only, means by which the disease allows us to find the necessary remedy.”
Already, western CAM homeopaths use RADIONICS machines which decides the similimum when the terminals of the device are connected to the body of the patient. Indicated medicine in desired potency also will be PREPARED by the machine, using the pre-stored FREQUENCIES and VIBRATIONS!
DAVID LITTLE, the great ‘international teacher’ of homeopathy have already taught us elaborately how to select similimum using REFLEXOLOGY techniques- bringing drugs near the body and observing pupil reflexes, pulse changes, skin reflexes etc.
SENSOR will detect the history, miasms, vaccinations, emotions, dispositions, infections, addictions, food habits.. everything? By connecting it on the body? May be, if all those history, miasms, vaccinations, emotions, dispositions are VIBRATIONS! No need of repertories, materia medica… nothing! Any role for homeopath, other than connecting sensors on patients and waiting to see what the machine says?

We should remember, no ‘masters’ or ‘stalwarts’ so far knew what really happens during potentization.
Nobody so far knew what are the exact active principles of potentized drugs.
Nobody so far knew the exact molecular level mechanism by which the active principles of potentized drugs interact with the biological organism and produce a therapeutic effect.
Nobody so far even proposed a scientifically viable ‘hypothesis’ regarding a logical model for the biological mechanism for homeopathy, that could be ‘proved’ or ‘disproved’ by scientific method.
Only things our masters actually knew was the objective natural phenomena of ‘likes curing likes’ and ‘high dilution effects’.
Everything else were mere speculations. Speculations based on unscientific philosophy of ‘dynamism’ and ‘vitalism’.
All ‘laws’, ‘rules’, ‘methods’ and ‘doctrines’ we consider as ‘cardinal principles of homeopathy evolved from these speculative theories. All ‘directions’ regarding ‘doses’, repetitions’, ‘single drugs’, ‘follow ups’ and everything else were formulated without clearly knowing the substances we are actually dealing with or how they actually work.
All ‘laws’, ‘rules’, ‘methods’ and ‘doctrines’ we consider as ‘cardinal principles of homeopathy were based on misinterpreted ‘experiences’ of ‘stalwarts’ having historically limited scientific knowledge.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF HOMEOPATHY, MIT IS PROPOSING A ‘SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS’ THAT COULD BE SUBJECTED TO VERIFICATION ACCORDING TO SCIENTIFIC METHODS.
———————————————————————————–
Once we understand the exact processes involved in potentization, the active principles of potentized drugs, and the molecular mechanism by which potentized drugs act up on the organism, all the existing ‘laws’, ‘rules’, ‘principles’ and ‘methods’ are bound to change. New ‘principles’ and ‘methods’ will evolve.
——————————————————————————–
UNDERSTAND THE PHENOMENON OF DISEASE SCIENTIFICALLY:
To be scientific physicians, homeopaths should perceive and approach diseases as BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES- as ERRORS in molecular level ‘material’ biochemical processes. Not as ‘derangement’ in some ‘mysterious’, ‘non-material’, ‘spirit-like’ or ‘dynamic’ VITAL FORCE.
Errors in biochemical processes in the organism may mainly be of THREE different types: from GENETIC errors, from DEFICIENCIES and from INHIBITIONS
Diseases from faulty GENETIC substance inherited from previous generations, or caused by mutations belong to first category. Faulty genetic substances lead to synthesis of faulty proteins, or total absence of certain PROTEINS essential for normal life processes. Homeopathy cannot rectify ERRORS in genetic substance.
DEFICIENCIES may be NUTRITIONAL or METABOLIC. Nutritional deficiencies are primary deficiencies in the supply of essential molecules, where as metabolic deficiencies are secondary deficiencies arising from faulty synthesis of biological molecules, especially faulty genetic expressions. Deficiency of essential precursor molecules, co-factors, amino acids etc result in errors in essential biochemical processes, which lead to state of pathology.
INHIBITIONS of biological molecules, especially PROTEIN molecules, such as enzymes, receptors, transport molecules, immune bodies, structural molecules etc constitute a major class of DISEASES amenable to medical intervention. Inhibitions of PROTEINS happen when their native three-dimensional conformations are changed by BINDING of exogenous or endogenous molecules on them, there by making them incapable of interacting with their natural ligands. Homeopathy is especially suitable to deal with DISEASES arising from this class of molecular errors.
Inhibitions of proteins also happen due to drastic changes in the physical parameters of micro-environment, such as temperature, pH levels, influences of ionizing radiations etc.
——————————————————————————————
MOLECULAR BASIS OF PSYCHO-SOMATIC DISEASES:
Many homeopaths believe that since ‘psychosomatic diseases’ originate from MIND, they are outside the realm of biochemistry. According to them, mind is something ‘immaterial’, ‘dynamic’ and ‘spirit-like’, and hence mental phenomena cannot be explained in terms of SCIENTIFIC knowledge. ‘Mind is beyond science’- they say. And they talk about MIND as part of immaterial VITAL FORCE.
The phenomena we call MIND never exist in the absence of a MATERIAL BODY, and a highly complex central nervous system being part of that body. MIND does not exist free from the complex biochemical molecular level interactions in the central nervous system, which actually represents the highest stage of MATERIAL EVOLUTION on earth. MIND can be influenced by material substances such as drugs, which can modify the biochemical processes in brain. Any mental activity is related with production, transportation and interactions of some CHEMICAL molecules in the body, that can influence the whole physiological processes in the organism. SENSATIONS, EMOTIONS, COGNITION, MEDITATION, LEARNING, MEMORY, THOUGHTS, CONSCIOUSNESS, MOODS, FEELINGS, DREAMS- every phenomena we associate with MIND happen through BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES in our nervous system. Some specific chemical molecules are produced as part of those processes.
CHEMICAL MOLECULES produced during mental activities have specific TARGETS and specific FUNCTIONS of their own. It is the actions of those molecules on their specific targets that produce the particular state of mind and its physiological processes.
When these chemical molecules being part of MENTAL ACTIVITIES are produced in excess, or they are not removed from the system in due course, they will circulate in the body, BIND to unexpected OFF-TARGET biological molecules, and lead to their INHIBITION. Such ‘off-target’ inhibitions caused by the neuro-chemicals circulating in the body are the CAUSATIVE FACTORS pf certain pathological conditions we call PSYCHOSOMATIC DISEASES.
Obviously, there is nothing ‘immaterial’ or ‘dynamic’ in PSYCHOSOMATIC diseases. They are purely MATERIAL, that could be treated by MATERIAL drugs. PSYCHOSOMATIC DISEASES belongs to a class of pathological conditions caused by INHIBITIONS of biological molecules by the ‘off-target’ actions of ENDOGENOUS molecules acting as pathogenic agents.

I think use of SPECIFIC COMBINATIONS may make homeopathic practice easier and much less time consuming. I find no reason to fear that one will become UNHOMEOPATHIC by using this method. Use of combinations will reduce the chances of failures especially in busy prescribing for acute cases. It is much better than trying a drug, waiting the patient to return, and then trying another drug if first one fails.
If you have enough time to work upon each case and select a single similimum, and if you are very sure the drug you selected is PERFECT SIMILIMUM, there is no need for thinking about a specific or a combination. All of us know, the situations are different during busy clinical work.
I am not talking about the commercially available COMBINATIONS containing mother tinctures and low potencies, which are not homeopathic, and prone to produce harmful side effects and long term effects.
I am proposing ONLY the use of COMBINATIONS of drugs potentized ABOVE 12c, which contain only MOLECULAR IMPRINTS. The physician himself can make such combinations using MOST COMMONLY indicated drugs in a particular clinical condition.
For example, MOST cases of ASTHMA IN CHILDREN are found to require either of NATRUM SULPH, IPECAC or ARS ALB. As such, we can use such a combination, based on the observation that in MOST CASES of ‘asthma in children’, at least ONE of these three drugs are found to be indicated. It may be ONE drug in the combination that work for FIRST patient, it may be the other drug working for SECOND patient. Remaining drugs in that combination may not be required at all, and will remain silent. But they will do no harm, since drugs potentized drugs above 12c cannot interact with biological molecules. In some cases, ALL THE THREE drugs will be acting in unison, to provide ALL the diverse molecular imprints required for a TOTAL CURE.
————————————————————————————
How SYMPTOMS are produced during DRUG PROVING?
DRUG SUBSTANCES contain chemical molecules with specific structure, conformations and chemical properties. Most drugs, especially those of animal or vegetable origin, contain even hundreds of types of different molecules.
These drug substances, when introduced into our body, do not act as WHOLE unit, but as INDIVIDUAL molecules. Each molecule act upon any BIOLOGICAL MOLECULE having conformational and charge affinity of their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS and MOIETIES.
Individual drug molecules bind to different biological molecules such as receptors, transport proteins, immune bodies, structural molecules, ENZYMES etc, there by changing the conformations of those biological molecules, and making them unable to carry on their normal biological functions. Such a state is called MOLECULAR INHIBITION, which amounts to ‘molecular level pathology’.
MOLECULAR INHIBITIONS of essential biological molecules produce cascading of molecular errors in the related biochemical pathways. Such molecular errors create a series of chemical reactions in central nervous system, immune system and endocrine system, which are expressed as SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE SYMPTOMS.
Molecular inhibitions produced in one biological pathway may be expressed through a certain set of symptoms, while another inhibition in another pathway produces another set of symptoms. TOTALITY of symptoms expressed by the individual give us a TOTAL picture of molecular inhibitions produced, as well as a TOTAL picture of drug molecules and biological molecules involved
This is the SCIENCE working behind DRUG PROVING
——————————————————————————————
Can we combine potentized drugs?
Once we perceive potentization in terms of MOLECULAR IMPRINTING of constituent drug molecules, we will realize that even those potentized drugs we consider SINGLE are actually COMBINATIONS of diverse types of INDEPENDENT molecular imprints representing diverse types of chemical molecules contained the drug substance. Molecular imprints co-exist without any mutual interactions, and act in our body as individual units by acting as ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathogenic molecules having complementary conformation.
Once we understand this truth, we will realize there cannot be any harm by adding some more new MOLECULAR IMPRINTS into this existing ‘combination’, by way of adding potentized drugs together. MOLECULAR IMPRINTS will act as independent individual units.
————————————————————————————————–
What is your opinion regarding the so-called HERING’S LAWS OF DIRECTION OF CURE?
See what Dr. André Saine, D.C., N.D., F.C.A.H, Dean of the Canadian Academy of Homeopathy, who made extensive studies on this topic saying:
“When Hering died in 1880, colleagues all over the world assembled to pay tribute to the great homeopath. His many accomplishments were recalled. Strangely, none made any mention of a law of direction of cure promulgated by Hering.”
“Arthur Eastman, a student who was close to Hering during the last three years of the venerable homeopath, published in 1917 Life and Reminiscences of Dr. Constantine Hering also without mentioning a law pertaining to direction of cure.”
“Calvin Knerr, Hering’s son-in-law, published in 1940, 60 years after Hering’s death, the Life of Hering, a compilation of biographical notes. Again no mention is made of the famous law”
If so, where from came this idea of HERING’S LAWS being taught as one of the FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF HOMEOPATHY?
——————————————————————————————
Any CRAZY idea one propose cannot be called a HYPOTHESIS. Some people falsely claim all their fanciful ideas and explanations to be ‘theories’ and ‘hypotheses’.
Scientifically, the term ‘hypothesis’ means a ‘proposed explanation’ or “educated guess” for a phenomenon that we observe around us.
Every ‘proposed explanation’ cannot be considered a ‘scientific hypothesis’. To be a ‘scientific hypothesis’, the scientific method requires that one can test the hypothesis using available scientific tools and methodology.
Every new scientific hypotheses are generally based on previous observations that could not be satisfactorily be explained with the existing scientific theories. The words “hypothesis” and “theory” are often used synonymously in common and informal usage, even though a ‘scientific hypothesis’ is not exactly the same as ‘a scientific theory’.
A hypothesis should be proved ‘using scientific tools’ in order to become a scientific theory.
A ‘working hypothesis’ is a provisionally accepted hypothesis that is ready to be proved. Experimenters will have to test and reject several hypotheses before solving the given problem ultimately. Testability (using existing scientific tools), Simplicity (avoiding excessive numbers of entities), Scope (apparent application of the hypothesis to multiple cases of phenomena), Fruitfulness (hypothesis may help to explain further phenomena in the future), and Conservatism (fitting with existing recognized knowledge-systems) are considered to be the essential qualities of a good scientific ‘working’ hypothesis.
Viewing from this standpoint, it is very much clear that most of the presently existing most celebrated ‘theories’ regarding homeopathy cannot be even considered as ‘scientific hypotheses’ since they contain concepts and conclusions that ‘could not be tested by any scientist using currently available scientific tools and methodology’ or do not ‘fit with existing recognized knowledge-systems’.
When attempting to provide a scientific explanation to homeopathy, first we have to propose a ‘scientific hypotheses’. That means, a hypothesis that ‘could be tested by any scientist using currently available scientific tools and methodology’ and that ‘fits with existing recognized knowledge-systems’.
Such a ‘working hypothesis’, over and above the aforesaid qualifications, should also be immediately useful to the practitioner, because homeopathy is a therapeutic art of practical implications. Besides lending the essential scientific credibility to the homeopathic paradigm, any hypothesis we propose should try to meet some practical utility criteria as a minimum requirement.
There are already many imaginative and ‘scientific’ ‘theories’ going around that seek to explain everything about homeopathy but fail to predict or offer anything of relevance. If a hypothesis fail to predict some relevant practical outcomes, then it becomes scientifically untestable, and therefore, unusable in practice.
Assumptions being proposed by a scientific hypothesis should be simple, testable and their numbers should be held to a minimum. The assumptions should also reflect the basic experience that is already generally held to be known.
Any working hypothesis about homeopathy should clearly identify a ‘biological mechanism’ that represents the action-reaction homeostasis of ‘vital processes’, and explain the molecular mechanism of homeopathic therapeutics on that basis, instead of the unscientific ‘vital force’ theory in homeopathy. Such an explanation should be fitting to the verified scientific paradigm of modern biochemistry and molecular biology.
Once a ‘working hypothesis’ is proposed, there is much more research to be done before that is accepted as a ‘scientific theory’. The hypothesis needs to offer predictions that can be repeatedly and conclusively proved or disproved in the laboratory and in the clinic with out any bias.
——————————————————————————————
‘You cannot say a certain theory is wrong, until you prove it is wrong’, ‘lack of evidence for something cannot be considered an evidence against it’, ‘any argument should be considered right, until you disprove it’- these are the common defenses of all unscientific and pseudo-scientific beliefs and practices. When anybody question them, they will retort: “did anybody disprove us”? According to them, everything NOT DISPROVED are equal to PROVED! By this cleverly tactic, they try to turn the burden of PROVING their theories up on those who question it.
PROVING a hypothesis is the responsibility of those who made that hypothesis. Until they prove it, it is the NULL HYPOTHESIS that rule- the null hypothesis that the HYPOTHESIS IS WRONG. To prove your hypothesis right, you have to disprove the null hypothesis. That is the primary lesson of PRACTICE OF SCIENCE.
—————————————————————————————-
When a HYPOTHESIS is submitted for scientific verification and experimentation, the process begins with formulation of a NULL HYPOTHESIS, which is the default position. Null Hypothesis is based on the assumption that the arguments put forward by the HYPOTHESIS under consideration are wrong. Rejecting or disproving the null hypothesis – and thus concluding that there are grounds for the arguments contained in the HYPOTHESIS is a central task in the modern SCIENTIFIC METHOD, and gives a precise sense in which a claim is capable of being proven false. The basic principle is, you cannot PROVE something right, without PROVING something wrong.
Scientifically, HYPOTHESIS testing works by collecting data and measuring how likely the particular set of data is, assuming the NULL HYPOTHESIS is true- not the HYPOTHESIS. Once NULL HYPOTHESES and ALTERNATE HYPOTHESES are proved wrong, the HYPOTHESIS is considered proved right.
Obviously, scientific community approaches homeopathy with the NULL HYPOTHESIS that ‘homeopathy does not work’. We have to prove that NULL HYPOTHESIS ‘wrong’, if we want to prove ‘homeopathy works’.
————————————————————————————-
SCIENTIFIC METHOD involves formulation of a WORKING HYPOTHESIS as the starting point of a research work. To be a candidate for this process, some ‘unexplained’ phenomena should be explained by the ‘hypothesis’ in terms of already ‘existing scientific knowledge system’. Once the ‘hypothesis’ is proved by scientific experiments, it becomes a ‘scientific theory’.
Proposing some nonsense ‘theories’ that contradict ALL known scientific knowledge system, and then asking the scientists to ‘DISPROVE IT IF YOU CAN’- it is a common cleverly GAME PLAN of all those who practice and propagate UNSCIENTIFIC ‘occult’ things such as hair transmission, photo transmission, pc resonance remedies, paper remedies, downloadable remedies, dream proving, meditation proving, energy medicine, reflexology, dowsing, radionics etc etc. Practitioners of woodoo and black magic also exist by arguing that “it is not even disproved yet”.
SCIENTIFIC METHOD is all about PROVING, not DISPROVING. I feel very sorry to see that even ‘leaders’ of homeopathic community are ignorant of such basics of scientific method.
————————————————————————————–
Dr Manish Bhatia of Hpathy asks me not to say ‘Hair Transmission’ is ‘nonsense’.
He said: “we should say ‘Hair transmission is not homeopathy’. You and I are a nobody to say that it is nonsense or does not work, unless we or someone else proves that. Please remember, if it is not proven yet, it is not even disproven yet.
Read Thomas Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolution.”
Dr Manish Bhatia gave a totally unexpected twist to our so far nice conversation by saying as follows:
“You play the drums of ‘science’ all the time…and still have such high level of ignorance about scientific method that you are willing to replace your ‘personal beliefs’ with scientific reasoning. It is not about hair transmission or reflexology. It is about how scientific inquiry and research works. But I guess you are not interested in that. Have a good day.”
Dr Manish Bhatia, I have been trying to be polite and humble even in expressing my disagreements with you. But you have crossed that limit of gentlemanship by the statement “you play the drums of ‘science’ all the time…and still have such high level of ignorance about scientific method”. TOTALLY UNFAIR. I never expected such a twist from a man like Manish Bhatia. I feel very sorry. I thought I were talking to a great personality who would never stoop to the level of those propagators of ‘hair transmission’ and ‘energy medicine’ I had to frequently encounter so far on this page. Finally, everything ends here. GOODBYE, SIR.
Regarding your stand on ‘hair transmission’: It is obvious that there exist serious difference in our perceptions. You are still ready to give a favor of DOUBT to HAIR TRANSMISSION, by saying “it is not even disproven yet”. For me, there is nothing to PROVE or DISPROVE in it. It is UTTER NONSENSE. Why should we DISPROVE every absurd things that are OBVIOUSLY contradicting ALL known principles of science?
Sorry to say, by poo-pooing me by saying “you play the drums of ‘science’ all the time…and still have such high level of ignorance about scientific method”, you have closed all doors of reasonable interactions in between us.
——————————————————————————————-
If anybody say we should experiment DRUG TRANSMISSION THROUGH HAIR, HOMEOPATHIC REFLEXOLOGY, PC RESONANCE REMEDIES and such things obviously contradicting all scientific knowledge, it only means they are ARGUING for such nonsense practices. It only means, they do not know what is SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
According to scientific method, there should be viable SCIENTIFIC WORKING HYPOTHESIS as a basis for experimentation. To be a WORKING hypothesis, it should fit to existing scientific knowledge system. We cannot EXPERIMENT something that contradicts ALL existing scientific knowledge. That is the basic lesson of SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS. Theory of DRUGS ACTING FROM A DISTANCE ‘dynamically’, ‘immaterially’ and ‘conceptually’ is totally against existing PROVEN scientific knowledge. No need of an ‘experimenting’ on that.
By asking me to ‘taste the pudding’ first, do you mean “I have to conduct EXPERIMENTS on any nonsense, if I want to say it is nonsense! I have to EXPERIMENT ‘hair transmission’? Experiment ‘pc resonance’? Download ‘hiv drugs’ and ‘bird flu’ drugs’ from internet, and conduct EXPERIMENTS before saying they are ABSURD? I should experiment reflexology and radionics? I have to EXPERIMENT ‘astrology’ and ‘woodoo’ to PROVE that I am “open to ideas that challenge my belief”?
Why should we EXPERIMENT something already well known to science? DRUGS cannot act from a distance. It is impossible. Once we know that, why should we EXPERIMENT hair transmission, photo transmission, PC resonance, downloadable remedies, paper remedies, meditation proving, trituration proving, dream proving, reflexology similimum, radionics etc, to say THEY ARE NONSENSE? For me, such an EXPERIMENTING is not at all necessary.
—————————————————————————————–
SKEPTICS and SCIENTIFIC community say homeopathy is NONSENSE. Why? Our international ‘representatives’ talk a lot of NONSENSE theories about homeopathy- theories no SCIENTIFIC-minded man can consider seriously.
Skeptics say homeopathy cannot work, since homeopaths say it works ‘dynamically from a distance’. Once we explain the action of homeopathy in a way fitting to scientific knowledge, their approach is bound to change.
——————————————————————————————
I think we should not fail to distinguish between NON-SURGICAL and SURGICAL stages of Coronary Artery Disease. Non-surgical stages may be BEFORE a heart attack, or AFTER a heart attack. Homeopathy can prevent heart attack by timely interventions during NON SURGICAL stages BEFORE heart attack. NON-SURGICAL stages after surgical interventions or angioplasty also can be managed by homeopathy. But, ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION is due to a BLOCK in artery is a SURGICAL stage, where homeopathy is not an option at all. BLOCKS formed in coronary artery have to be REMOVED with out any delay by appropriate surgical interventions to save life. Your “faith in homeopathy” will not be of any use for a person in ACUTE emergencies of HEART ATTACK. Irresponsible declarations such as ” there is every treatment in homeopathy”, and “this therapy starts from where all the therapies of the world end” only show the UNREALISTIC mindset of homeopaths- it reflects HOMEOPATHIC CHAUVINISM of worst type!
If anybody think ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION can be managed by ACONITE 30, I would warn him not to run into troubles by such over confidence about homeopathy. We have to be well conscious about the SCOPE, RANGE and LIMITATIONS of homeopathy.
——————————————————————————-
There is only ONE homeopathy. It is the method of therapeutics initiated by hahnemann 200+ years ago, based on the OBJECTIVE observations he made regarding the phenomena of disease and cure, which he tried to explain using the very limited scientific knowledge available to him during his period.
I am trying to pay due homage that great genius by preserving the inner kernel of hahnemannian homeopathy, same time updating it and taking it from where he left, forward through history by incorparating the fruits of great advancements happened in human knowledge system after the period of hahnemann. It is the same hahnemannian homeopathy, updated, revised, rejuvenated and rebuilt scientifically.
By the term DIALECTICAL, I mean this PROCESS of “preserving the inner kernel of hahnemannian homeopathy, same time updating it and taking it from where he left, forward through history by incorparating the fruits of great advancements happened in human knowledge system after the period of hahnemann”. It is the the PROCESS of making hahnemannian homeopathy “updated, revised, rejuvenated and rebuilt scientifically.”
————————————————————————————–
A day will come when SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY will feel sorry over the wonderful opportunities they missed by failing to understand homeopathic POTENTIZATION as a technology of preparing DESIGNER DRUGS by molecular imprinting in water, and that SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR involves a technique of TARGET SPECIFIC DRUG PILOTING.
—————————————————————————————-
A time will come, when the homeopathic community will be repenting over the wonderful opportunities they missed by ignoring MIT concepts of homeopathy. COUNT ON MY WORDS!
—————————————————————————————–
Whatever religious or philosophical beliefs you follow in your personal life, a homeopath should be a PHYSICIAN, very careful not to mix up such philosophical ‘beliefs’ and superstitions with your medical practice. Your approach should be SCIENTIFIC. Keep religion away from HOMEOPATHY and MEDICAL PRACTICE.
In scientific medical practice, we have to deal with LIFE as ‘material system’ involving
biological molecules and biochemical interactions.
There is no LIFE without a LIVING BODY, which is a MATERIAL SYSTEM of billions of complex chemical molecules that interact each other.
It is the peculiar ORGANIZATION and INTERACTIONS of ‘matter’ that produce ALL the phenomena associated with LIFE, such as SENSATIONS, EMOTIONS, MIND, INTELLIGENCE, DISEASE, SYMPTOMS and CURE.
ORGANISMS are material systems. LIFE is material molecular processes, DISEASE is material molecular inhibitions, DRUGS are MATERIAL substances, CURE is material reactivation process . MEDICAL PRACTICE is a material activity.
THINK SCIENCE. TALK SCIENCE. PRACTICE HOMEOPATHY AS SCIENCE.
——————————————————————————————
I want to remind another very important point. During potentization, it is the individual CONSTITUENT molecules of drug substance that undergo MOLECULAR IMPRINTING- not the DRUG SUBSTANCE as such. It is wrong to say ‘molecular imprints of Nux Vomica’- we should say ‘molecular imprints of constituent molecules of Nux Vomica. Potentized Nux Vomica contains diverse types of molecular imprints representing diverse types of molecules contained in Nux Vomica. When used as similimum, these different types of molecular imprints act as individual units, by binding to different pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity. I mean, homeopaths should learn to view any seemingly SINGLE potentized drug as a MIXTURE of diverse types of molecular imprints. That makes a big difference in our understanding of homeopathy.

CRATAEGUS OXYCANTHA- A BIOCHEMICAL STUDY OF MEDICINAL PROPERTIES:
Active ingredients found in CRATEGUS include tannins, flavonoids (vitexin, rutin, quercetin, and hyperoside), oligomeric proanthocyanidins (epicatechin, procyanidin, and particularly procyanidin B-2), flavone-C, triterpene acids (ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, and crataegolic acid), and phenolic acids (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and related phenolcarboxylic acids). A lot of study regarding biological actions of these chemical constituents are required.
Proanthocyanidins contained in CRATEGUS suppress production of a protein endothelin-1 that constricts blood vessels. Endothelins are proteins that constrict blood vessels and raise blood pressure. They are normally kept in balance by other mechanisms, but when they are over-expressed, they contribute to high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart disease.
Endothelins are 21-amino acid vasoconstricting peptides produced primarily in the endothelium having a key role in vascular homeostasis. Endothelins are implicated in vascular diseases of several organ systems, including the heart, general circulation and brain.
Procyanidin B2 has been shown to inhibit the formation of the advanced glycation end products in the body, which are toxic. AGEs are formed inside the body by co-valent bonding of simple sugars with protein molecules. It is also formed in food articles when sugar is added to proteins and heated to high temperatures during cooking. BROWNING during cooking indicates this process. AGEs play a role in the build up of plaques in artery walls. The formation and accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) has been implicated in the progression of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.The mechanism by which AGEs induce damage is through a process called cross-linking that causes intracellular damage and apoptosis. AGEs affect nearly every type of cell and molecule in the body, and are thought to be one factor in aging and some age-related chronic diseases. They are also believed to play a causative role in the vascular complications of diabetes mellitus. They have a range of pathological effects, including increasing vascular permeability, inhibition of vascular dilation by interfering with nitric oxide, oxidising LDL, binding cells including macrophage, endothelial, and mesangial cells to induce the secretion of a variety of cytokines and enhancing oxidative stress.
Proanthocyanidins have antioxidant activity by ‘oxygen radical absorbance capacity’. We know free radicals play a role in formation of atherosclerosis by oxidizing LDL molecules entrapped in blood vessel walls.
Studies show that proanthocyanidins antioxidant capabilities are 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E.
Proanthocyanidins have been shown to optimize the production of nitric oxide in the artery walls so as to relax them and allow greater blood flow and reduced pressure.
Chlorogenic acid present in CRATAEGUS can slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream after a meal, and thus help in reducing blood sugar levels.
Presence Procyanidin B2 in CRATEGUS shows, it is a good remedy for preventing accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) implicated in the progression of age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.
It is obvious that BP-lowering, artery-relaxing and atherosclerosis-reducing properties of CRATAEGUS are related with the PHYSIOLOGICAL actions of CRUDE molecules.
Means, we use CRATAEGUS allopathically- not homeopathically. We cannot expect such actions from potentized Crataegus.
Potentized CRATAEGUS will be useful in LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY, etc
———————————————————————————
Homeopaths should change the way they view DRUGS. They should understand that the medicinal properties of a drug substance is not due to its ‘personality’or ‘theme’, but due to the molecular level structure, conformation and chemical properties of INDIVIDUAL molecules contained in the drug substance. Most drugs we consider SINGLE, especially drugs of vegetable or animal origins, actually contain hundreds of types of chemical molecules with specific structures, conformations and properties. Homeopaths should also understand that drug substance does not act on our body as WHOLE DRUGS, but as individual constituent molecules. Individual molecules bind to different biological molecules having conformational affinity, and produce molecular inhibitions leading to errors in related biochemical pathways in the organism, which are expressed through diverse types of physical and mental SYMPTOMS.
———————————————————————————-
All existing controversies and confusions regarding HOMEOPATHY will be resolved once you understand the scientific explanation of homeopathy in terms of MOLECULAR IMPRINTS THERAPEUTICS or MIT.
As per MIT concepts, active principles of potentized drugs are MOLECULAR IMPRINTS of individual molecules contained inn the drug substance.
MOLECULAR IMPRINTS are supra-molecular formations of water-ethyl alcohol molecules, into which the ‘shape’ of drug molecules are ‘imprinted’ as three-dimensional ‘depressions’ or ‘cavities’, through a process of GUEST-HOST interactions involved in potentization process.
MOLECULAR IMPRINTS can act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathogenic molecules having functional groups that mimic the ‘shape’ of drug molecules used for imprinting. Molecular Imprints act as LOCKS for pathogenic molecules which act as KEYS, resulting in a ‘key-lock’ interaction.
Interactions of BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES in the organism involves a ‘key-lock’ relationship between biological molecules and their natural ligands. All interactions involving PROTEIN molecules such as ENZYMES, RECEPTORS, STRUCTURAL PROTEINS, TRANSPORT PROTEINS, IMMUNE BODIES etc interact with their ligands by ‘key-lock’ relationship. There is no any biochemical process in the living inthe living organism that does not involve the participation of a protein molecule. As such, KEY-LOCK relationship between TARGETS an LIGANDS is the universal mechanism of biochemical interactions.
DISEASES are ‘molecular inhibitions’ caused by endogenous or exogenous PATHOGENIC MOLECULES binding to BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES in a way to change their configurations, so that they cannot participate normal molecular functions.
CURE happens by the removal of pathological molecular inhibitions and REACTIVATION of biological molecules.
MEDICINES are substances used to remove the pathological molecular inhibitions.
In DRUG PROVING, the drug molecules bind to biological molecules and produce molecular inhibitions exactly similar to the inhibitions produced by pathogenic molecules in disease processes. Errors in vital processes produced in the organism due to these molecular inhibitions- from pathogenic molecules or drug molecules- are expressed through subjective and objective SYMPTOMS.
Pathogenic molecules as well as drug molecules having FUNCTIONAL GROUPS or MOIETIES can bind to similar biological targets and produce similar molecular inhibitions, that will be expressed through SIMILAR train of symptoms.
If DISEASE symptoms and DRUG symptoms appear SIMILAR, that means, the disease causing molecules and drug molecules involved were having similar functional groups or moieties, so that they could produce similar molecular inhibitions.
MOLECULAR IMPRINTS of drug molecules contained in potentized drugs can act as artificial binding sites for SIMILAR disease-causing molecules due to conformational affinity, thereby relieving the biological molecules from INHIBITIONS. IT is CURE.
This is the MOLECULAR DYNAMICS of homeopathic cure- SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR.
I would request all homeopaths to think over what I have explained, WITHOUT PREJUDICE. You will experience all confusions resolving. LET US DISCUSS.
——————————————————————————————
BLIND PROVING can be done by any homeopath if willing to experiment. I shall send you 30ml of a WELL KNOWN drug in 30c potency. You can use it on ANYBODY for 1 month for PROVING, and after observing symptoms it ‘produce’, tell me the NAME of drug I sent. Are you ready, sir?
———————————————————————————–
In order to verify whether symptoms reported to be collected from HIGH POTENCY drug provings are reliable, we have to conduct some experiments to know whether anybody can IDENTIFY well known drugs by observing symptoms from BLIND PROVING. That is the only LOGICAL way to resolve confusions and conflicts of opinions on this issue
————————————————————————————–
MY HUMBLE REQUEST TO ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ‘HIGH POTENCY’ PROVING:
Let us conduct an experiment. You can select a team of volunteers. A TEAM of homeopaths will conduct proving on those volunteers, by administering ANY well known drug (30c) from our materia medica along with ONE you propose. You will be kept BLIND regarding who got which drug. You have to IDENTIFY the person who received the drug you proposed, by observing the symptoms produced by PROVING.
Anybody willing to submit themselves to such an experiment? Such an experiment will resolve the confusions regarding HIGH POTENCY PROVING once and for all. For me, It will also prove whether I “need to re-visit my thinking” on this issue.

Any PROVING, other than by administering molecular forms (crude- up to 12c) of drug substances into the BODY of the prover is IMPOSSIBLE and plain NONSENSE! A drug cannot produce any effects in the organism or produce any symptoms, without MOLECULES of that drug entering the body and acting upon the BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES.
Meditation proving, Trituration proving, Dream proving, High potency proving- All such claims may be called PLACEBO PROVING!
see the wonderful list of drugs marketed as proved by MEDITATION: Aquamarine, Banyan Tree, Berlin Wall, Blue, Ether, Green, Milky Way, MRPG3 (Mobile Phone) , Orange, Purple, Rainbow, Red, Snowdrop, Tigers Eye, Yellow etc etc! LOL.
—————————————————————————————–
Any TEACHER, who fails to respond with a rational and logical answer to the question “what is the biological mechanism by which potentized drugs produce cure”, in a way fitting to our SCIENTIFIC knowledge system, is not a GOOD teacher worthy to be FOLLOWED. At least he should be capable of saying “it is still unexplained”, instead of waving away the question as “unwarranted” or “irrelevant”. Only then he will be qualified to impart a scientific outlook and training to the NEW GENERATION of homeopaths who hopefully prepare themselves for becoming scientific PHYSICIANS, rather than mere HEALERS.
——————————————————————————————–
The EARLIER the homeopathic profession understands and imbibes MIT concepts into the theoretical framework of homeopathy and arms the new generation with the powerful scientific outlook it provides, the BETTER it will be for the future advancements of homeopathy. You will have to accept it later, if not now- because it is pure TRUTH.

I am just working up on developing some SPECIFICS for prevention and treatment of ‘Atherosclerosis’ that cause BLOCKS in arteries.
‘Atherosclerosis’ is understood to be initiated by inflammatory processes in the endothelial cells of the vessel wall in response to retained low-density lipoprotein (LDL) molecules.
Only VLDL particles or SMALL LDL particles are able, because of their size and their density, to get behind the cellular monolayer of endothelium.
The LDL molecule is globular shaped with a hollow core to carry cholesterol throughout the body. They are capsule-like TRANSPORT molecules that carry cholesterol, cholesteryl esters and tryglycerides from the liver to the tissues of the body. Trouble satrts when these LDL particles happen to enter into WALLS of blood vessels. LDL particles and their contents undergo OXIDATION inside vessel walls. Once inside the vessel wall, LDL particles get stuck and their content becomes more prone to oxidation.
IT IS THIS OXIDIZED LDL MOLECULES THAT DAMAGE BLOOD VESSEL WALLS.
The damage caused by the oxidized LDL molecules triggers a cascade of immune responses which over time can produce an atheroma. The body’s immune system responds to the damage to the artery wall caused by oxidized LDL by sending specialized white blood cells such as macrophages and T-lymphocytes to absorb the oxidized-LDL forming specialized foam cells. These white blood cells are not able to process the oxidized-LDL, and ultimately grow then rupture, depositing a greater amount of oxidized cholesterol into the artery wall. This triggers more white blood cells, continuing the cycle.
Eventually, the artery becomes inflamed. The cholesterol plaque causes the muscle cells to enlarge and form a hard cover over the affected area. This hard cover is what causes a narrowing of the artery, reduces the blood flow and increases blood pressure.
Some researchers believe that the process of atherosclerosis may be caused or enhanced by by a viral or bacterial infection of the vascular smooth muscle cells.
Considering the biochemical processes involved, I am of the view that it may be possible to prevent and reduce ATHEROSCLEROSIS and minimize the chances of ARTERIAL BLOCKS by long term use of VLDL potentized above 12c. I am trying to procure a sample of VLDL for that purpose.
I AM PUBLISHING THIS IDEA HERE, WITH THE HOPE THAT SOME BODY ELSE MORE EQUIPPED AND RESOURCEFUL THAN MYSELF ALSO COULD WORK UPON SAME LINES, AND MAKE THIS CONCEPT SUCCESSFUL AT THE EARLIEST.
—————————————————————————————–
I do not agree with the claim “Homeopathy is Science”. I would like to say homeopathy CONTAINS some valuable and truthful OBSERVATIONS made by hahnemann regarding the phenomena of DISEASE, CURE and DRUGS, which he had to EXPLAIN in most unscientific ways, due to the primitive state of scientific knowledge available to him during his period. If explained in terms of modern scientific knowledge and refined using scientific methods, these OBSERVATIONS could be developed into a an advanced branch of modern MOLECULAR MEDICINE.
Well aware of material and intellectual limitations, by proposing the concepts of Molecular Imprints Therapeutics, I am trying to address that historical task entrusted to us by our MASTER.
—————————————————————————————
Understanding my explanation of homeopathy in terms of BIOCHEMISTRY and MOLECULAR IMPRINTING is very simple if you are prepared to come out of the BELIEFS and DOGMAS you have been regularly fed with all these years, and open up your mind to assimilate new knowledge – with out prejudice, as it is said.
———————————————————————————–
There is a strong BELIEF among homeopaths that “homeopathic drugs work by stimulating peripheral sensory receptors and transmitting information to the brain which in turn will trigger a curative response to the affected organ”. Hahnemann himself has endorsed this theory in various occasions in his writings.
According to this theory, drugs act on ‘peripheral nerve endings’ by ‘stimulating’. Only the ‘information’ is then ‘transmitted’ to brain. Nothing from the drug is ‘transmitted’ into the cells or body fluids, and hence nothing acts DIRECTLY upon the ‘biological molecules’, except in the form of ‘triggers’ from brain.
If this ‘stimulation of sensory receptors’ theory is correct, homeopathic drugs will not have any effect if applied on any part or tissue which is DEVOID of SENSORY RECEPTORS being part of a NERVE to transmit the information and a BRAIN to produce triggers.
A lot of questions arise here in the minds of those who think rationally and logically.
1. Hahnemann himself has directed to administer ‘similimum of infant’ to nurse or mother, so that the ‘medicine’ will be ‘transmitted’ through BREAST MILK to the infant. We know, there is no ‘sensory nerve receptors’ in breast milk. Then, what is the suggested mechanism by which the ‘drug’ is ‘transmitted’ to infant? More over, if we are using similimum of infant, it need not be similimum of mother or nurse, and as such, it will not act on their brains and produce ‘triggers’ for infant.
2. We know, homeopathic drugs act on PLANTS. There is no ‘sensory nerves’ to get stimulated and ‘transmit information’, and no brain to produce triggers. Obviously, the ‘nerve stimulation’ theory does not hold in the case of PLANT HOMEOPATHY.
3. A lot of IN VITRO studies have been reported that demonstrate homeopathic drug actions up on ENZYMES, BLOOD and other SAMPLES collected from individuals. Blood, tissues and biological molecules taken out of our body have no any PERIPHERAL RECEPTORS, NERVE OR BRAIN ‘connected’ together by a nervous system. All such studies proves beyond any doubt that RECEPTORS, NERVES OR BRAIN are not INEVITABLE for homeopathic drug action to take place.
Rationally, only way homeopathic drugs act upon organism is by getting ‘transported’ through BODY FLUIDS to different tissues and cells of the organism, and the ACTIVE PRINCIPLES acting DIRECTLY upon the BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES, thereby modulating the BIOCHEMICAL PROCESS happening as part of life processes as well as disease processes.
IT IS TIME FOR HOMEOPATHS TO SAY GOODBYE TO THE ‘THEORY’ OF ‘NERVE STIMULATION’ AND ‘BRAIN TRIGGERING’.

MOLECULAR IMPRINTING INVOLVED IN POTENTIZATION:
TRITURATION breaks the inter-molecular bonds between molecules, and make the constituent molecules FREE. These free molecules are easily HYDRATED in solutions. Water-ethyl alcohol molecules in the VEHICLE arrange themselves around INDIVIDUAL drug molecules, leading to the formation of hydrogen-bonded HYDRATION shells in which the drug molecules are encapsulated. These ‘encapsulated’ structures are GUEST-HOST complexes, where drug molecules are ‘guests’ and vehicle molecules are ‘hosts’. Through the process of serial dilution and succussion, the GUESTS are progressively removed from the ‘capsules’ of HOST molecules. These EMPTY hydration shells, into which the three-dimensional shapes of GUEST molecules are imprinted, are the MOLECULAR IMPRINTS which act as active principles of potentized drugs. MOLECULAR IMPRINTS can act as ARTIFICIAL BINDING SITES for any pathogenic molecule that MIMIC the shape of original drug molecule used for potentization.
—————————————————————————————
Sodium Chloride molecule ionizes into Sodium ion and Chloride ion when dissolved in water. Water molecules arrange themselves into layers around these ions, and forms ‘hydration shells’. GUEST-HOST complexes of sodium/water and chloride/water are formed. Normally, the SEA SALT used for potentization will contain many other molecules and ions such as iodide, fluoride, bromide etc etc which were part of sea water, and they also will form GUEST-HOST complexes. During serial dilution and succussion, these molecules and ions will be gradually driven out, with the EMPTY hydration shells formed around the ions remaining. By the time the dilution crosses 12c, all molecules and ions will be removed, and the remaining solution will contain only molecular imprints.
Normally, the hydration shells formed in water will disintegrate very easily by protonation-deprotonation process. But the heavy molecules of ethyl alcohol contained in the VEHICLE used for potentization play a stabilizing role by acting as anchoring molecules, there by reducing the rate of protonation-deprotonation. More over, the process of succussion also is also considered to play a role in stabilization of hydration shells.
It is these EMPTY hydration shells remaining after removal of GUEST molecules that we call MOLECULAR IMPRINTS. Conformations of GUEST molecules will remain engraved into these MOLECULAR IMPRINTS in the form of three dimensional depressions or spaces.
Since NAT MUR is proved using samples of SEA SALT, their symptoms include the symptoms produced by the ‘impurities’ also. If we carefully study the materia medica of NATRUM MUR, we can identify many symptoms common to iodine, fluoride, bromides etc. In potentized forms also, NATRUM MUR will contain the molecular imprints of these impurities, over and above those of sodium ions and chloride ions.
Diseases requiring NATRUM MUR will have underlying molecular errors that involve the inhibitions of biological molecules by sodium ions and chloride ions. That means, the PATHOGENIC MOLECULES had FUNCTIONAL GROUPS having sodium or chloride moieties. Pathologies associated with inhibitions of SODIUM ION channels on the cell membrane receptors by over crowding of sodium ions lead to oedema, retention of fluids, falling of hair, and many such problems. Chloride ions can produce inhibitions in the filtering mechanism in kidneys, elimination of uric acid etc etc. Excess use of salt, persistent grief, eating sodium rich and chloride rich food articles such as certain vegetables, pickles, salted foods etc may cause these conditions. Problems related with thyroid hormones and iodine metabolism also come under NATRUM MUR due to the iodine factor. This topic needs more studies. Since BIOCHEMISTRY is not at present stage advanced to that level of perfection, we have to rely up on the SYMPTOMS collected from homeopathic PROVINGS to identify the molecular level inhibitions that could be cured by NATRUM MUR.
When we say NATRUM MUR is similimum for a case, that means there exist some molecular inhibitions caused by binding of biological molecules by pathogenic molecules that contain functional groups with sodium, chloride, iodine or such ions as active moieties. When we use potentized natrum mur, the constituent molecular imprints can selectively bind to such functional groups and moieties by conformational affinity, there bey removing the pathological molecular inhibitions. It amounts to a homeopathic cure with NATRUM MUR.

Responding to my post explaining the difference between SCIENCE of ‘life’ and PHILOSOPHY of ‘life’ in explaining homeopathy, a ‘HOMEOPATH’ commented sarcastically:
“Please explain your concept with cases sir. How many patients you treated with your concept? How many patients do u see in a day, sir?”
I have been trying to explain SCIENCE OF LIFE, DISEASE, CURE and HOMEOPATHY in my particular post. He could have asked questions about the concepts I put forward here. He could have at least read the exhaustive replies I painstakingly posted in response to the requests of others for explanation. NO, HE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING LIKE THAT. Instead, he wanted to drag me into arguments about my ‘lack of clinical experience’. It is a pity that homeopaths behave so mean.
IT IS THIS BEHAVIOR OF HOMEOPATHS THAT ‘FRUSTRATES’ ME.
If he was really interested to know about my ‘clinical experience’, he could have asked me through a message, or if he wanted to discuss my ‘lack of experience’, he could have put it as a separate post on my wall. Not under this very important discussion thread where SCIENCE OF HOMEOPATHY is being discussed.
Obviously, he wanted to remind me through that question that I am not ‘authorized’ to think or talk about homeopathy.
When Luc Montaigner said something about homeopathy, did any ‘homeopath’ ask him “how many patients you treated with this concepts” or “how many patients you meet a day”? Did anybody ask such questions to IIT scientists, when they came with Nanoparticle theory? Why homeopaths welcomed benveniste without such questions about his homeopathy back ground or ‘clinical experience’? Why this question is asked only to me?
I know why these people so much intolerant to me. Luc Montaigner, IIT scientists, Benveniste or such people said something that could be HIJACKED and UTILIZED as you wish, in a way to support and justify your nonsense ‘dynamic’ theories of homeopathy. My concepts offer no such possibilities, and you feel it as a threat to your sandhills of false fame, glory and fortunes you amassed by propagating such nonsense theories and methods. It is the fear of those who are bound to LOSE.
—————————————————————————————–
It is true, I am a bit FRUSTRATED- Not about homeopathy, but about those UNSCIENTIFIC ‘homeopaths’ who never understand the language of science, but pretend to know everything!
——————————————————————————————–
Just another funny ‘homeopathic cliche’ that makes me FRUSTRATED and NAUSEATED’ to hear: “Homeopathy is the greatest ever science, and our master is the greatest ever scientist- hahnemann had said every thing, even nano medicine, 200 years back’!
——————————————————————————————–
Forgive me for telling a bitter truth: Homeopaths love to talk PHILOSOPHY of LIFE more, since they are poor in understanding the essentials of SCIENCE of LIFE, same time pretending to know ‘everything’. They talk ‘vital force’ and ‘dynamic drug energy’, only because they know very little about ‘vital process’ involved ‘life’, and ‘medicinal properties’ of drug substances.
As ‘physicians’, HOMEOPATHS should study, think and talk SCIENCE of LIFE, not PHILOSOPHY of ‘LIFE’. You cannot STUDY science of LIFE without a deep knowledge of BIOCHEMISTRY, since ‘life’ is a complex system of ‘biochemical processes’ involving interactions of diverse types of biological molecules.
DISEASE is BIOCHEMISTRY. CURE is BIOCHEMISTRY. DRUGS are MOLECULES with chemical properties. POTENTIZED homeopathic DRUGS are MOLECULAR IMPRINTS of drug MOLECULES, and their therapeutic action is BIOCHEMISTRY.
SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR should be understood in terms of BIOCHEMISTRY- not in terms of PHILOSOPHY.
———————————————————————————
Most homeopaths strongly believe that homeopathy and modern science are mutually incompatible, and homeopathy cannot be explained in pure scientific terms. They seem to think that science has to be proved wrong, to prove homeopathy right. Actually, this ‘incompatibility’ arises from the hesitation of homeopaths to update themselves in accordance with the constantly advancing human knowledge system, and their ‘NO CHANGE’ dogmatic approach towards what hahnemann wrote 200+ years ago.
Hahnemann explained the phenomena he observed, using the PRIMITIVE scientific knowledge available to him during his period. Due to the lack of enough scientific knowledge regarding the complex MOLECULAR level biochemical processes involved in LIFE, DISEASE, INFECTIONS, CURE and DRUG ACTIONS, he was compelled to explain them using the concepts of VITAL FORCE, DYNAMIC ENERGY and MIASMS, which he considered IMMATERIAL. Historical limitations of hahnemann are understandable.
Empowered with the wonderful advancements of scientific knowledge during the course of last 200+ years after hahnemann, it is now possible for us to understand and explain the phenomena of LIFE, DISEASE, INFECTIONS, CURE and DRUG ACTIONS more correctly and with far better precision.
I am trying to explain homeopathy, similia similibus curentur and potentization in terms of the advanced scientific knowledge provided by modern BIOCHEMISTRY and MOLECULAR IMPRINTING.
If you carefully go through my articles, you will realize that all ‘riddles’ and ‘mysteries’ are resolved. All questions are answered. All confusions are settled. All phenomena related with homeopathy are EXPLAINED scientifically, without any involvement of unscientific concepts of ‘vital force’ and ‘dynamic drug energy’. Homeopathy is now perfectly COMPATIBLE with modern scientific knowledge system. It is no longer a dogmatic belief system of HEALING. Homeopathy is now raised to its rightful status of an advanced branch of MODERN MOLECULAR MEDICINE
I prefer to call this scientific interpretation of homeopathy as MOLECULAR IMPRINTS THERAPEUTICS.
———————————————————————————————
When you talk about MARKETING your homeopathic practice and EARNING MORE, it is obvious that your PRIORITY is money. That is a very bad mental set up for anybody claiming to be a PHYSICIAN- not only for homeopaths. I know there are a lot of such people among HOMEOPATHS, who sell ‘homeopathic’ tonics, ‘nutritional’ supplements, magic remedies, patented combinations, toothpastes, toilet soaps, and many such things at their clinics, to make MORE MONEY. For such people, a book on MARKETING will be very much welcome.
——————————————————————————————
If you want to teach a homeopath HOW TO EARN more, you should teach him HOW TO CURE his patients better by using GENUINE homeopathy. Not teaching how to ADVERTISE and MARKET his practice as a BUSINESS.
——————————————————————————————
I was shocked to see the advertisement of a recently published book from INDIA that promises to teach ‘professionalism’, ‘business management’ and ‘marketing’ lessons to HOMEOPATHS for a price tag of RS. 5000+ . I disagree on two reasons: First, the idea of ‘marketing’ homeopathic practice by itself tastes very bad, and is an insult to all homeopaths as such; Second, a price tag of 5000+ for an INDIAN book targeting upcoming fresh homeopaths- seniors wont need it, as they would have learned enough lessons from experience- is simply ABSURD, and reflects money mongering mind set.
———————————————————————————————–
As per my understanding, CINCHONA experiment of hahnemann was only a beginning. It gave him the initial idea about similia principle which he gradually developed into homeopathy. ALL the provings he conducted thereafter could be considered as follow up works of CINCHONA experiment.
It was the observation that crude CINCHONA could produce certain symptoms of malaria, and the knowledge that CINCHONA is used as medicine for malaria, that led him to thinking about similia principle of cure.
It was during the follow up experiments with drug provings that hahnemann started to observe and make record of all symptoms drugs produced- mental as well as physical. Gradually, he evolved the concept of ‘totality of symptoms’.
We should remember, homeopathy was not a ONE TIME invention. It was a process of gradual evolution. He changed, modified and developed his concepts in a long course of time. Many of his own initial ideas were discarded by himself when found wrong, which demonstrates hahnemann’s truthfulness and intellectual courage.
It is true that drugs are proved in individuals having different constitutions and genetic make up. It may affect the proving to certain extent. That is why symptoms produced by same drug in different provers differed in details of symptoms. But remember, most of the IMPORTANT VITAL PROCESSES and BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES are same in all human beings, and hence, whatever be the constitution, most of the EFFECTS of drugs will be same in ALL human beings.
———————————————————————————————-
Infants are born with their GENETIC substance, which never change in later life. Hence, GENETIC constitution will be same in adult life also. But, the PHENOTYPE constitution develops later, which is decided by the way GENES are EXPRESSED, which could be influenced by food, environment, drugs, infections and a host of other factors. We should not forget, what we call CONSTITUTION is actually the sum total of GENOTYPE and PHENOTYPE of an individual.
———————————————————————————————–
When you find a particular case coming to you is difficult to cure and patient may not hold on as it may take a long course to get any result, and same time you feel it is worth giving a try, talk to the patient plainly about your thoughts. Tell him frankly, he may consult somebody else if he feel so, but express your willingness to give a try if he is ready to cooperate. Tell them you will not accept any money until the cure is complete. Such a stance will demonstrate your genuine interest in making result, and will build great confidence about you. If they agree, work upon the case with full involvement, until you show the result to the satisfaction of the patient. Patient will stick on and cooperate, how much long the course of treatment may be. If you succeed, they will pay you once you close the case even without asking- most probably much more than you normally expect.
The most positive thing about this approach is, by the time you complete the course of treatment of that patient, he would have brought lot of new patients to you, belonging to his family or contact circles.
I think this is a nice way of boosting your self-confidence about handling complicated cases. and building good practice and goodwill.
———————————————————————————————
In my opinion, the best way of MARKETING your homeopathic practice is by SHOWING RESULTS. It is not your MANAGEMENT SKILLS, but your ‘homeopathic skills’, coupled with genuine behavior towards patients that enable you to show results. You may attract some patients initially by your sophisticated marketing techniques, but In the absence of essential homeopathic skills, that will end up as total disaster. The more you market your practice as a BUSINESS, the more you are vulnerable to failures in the long run.
I would advise young homeopaths not to worry about how to market yourselves, but worry ONLY about the patient just sitting in front of you NOW. It may be a only single patient a day initially. Treat him with utmost dedication and involvement, and give him relief. He will have his own circle consisting of his family, friends, coworkers and neighbors. If he is satisfied with your treatment and behavior, he will talk positively in his circles about you, and slowly and steadily a chain of patients will develop. Each single patient coming to you will grow into a new chain. Do not change your clinic or place of practice frequently, hoping to get more ‘business’- stick on to same place as far as possible, even if it is your residence itself. Utilize every case and every free minutes to sharpen your ‘homeopathic skills’ through constant study and application. It may take time to build up, but the goodwill and practice you generate slowly will be long lasting.
I made this post because some people have recently come forward with high profile MARKETING COURSES to homeopaths. They aim only extracting some money
——————————————————————————————–
Homeopaths should learn to think and talk about DISEASES and CURE in terms of BIOCHEMICAL INTERACTIONS, especially in terms of PROTEIN inhibitions and their re-activations. They should put their favorite VITAL FORCE THEORY to rest, if they really want homeopathy to become a medical science.
I am much concerned to see that there are homeopaths who cannot perceive infections and diseases in terms of molecular level processes involved. Instead, they imagine and argue over unscientific concepts such as “vital force of bacteria acting up on vital force of our body and producing diseases”.
According to scientific view, infections should be understood as molecules of ‘bacterial or viral origin’ entering our body and binding to various biological molecules such as enzymes or receptors in our organism, thereby inhibiting their normal functions and producing molecular errors amounting to pathology.
Once you understand the MIT concepts of homeopathy I propose, you would realize that HOMEOPATHY and ‘similia similibus curentur’ fit very well to the scientific paradigms of MODERN MOLECULAR MEDICINE.
————————————————————————————
Most homeopaths falsely believe that they have to safeguard VITAL FORCE THEORY to safeguard HOMEOPATHY. They fear homeopathy will collapse as a whole, if vital force theory is not preserved, as they consider it as the foundation of homeopathy. That is why they fight tooth and nail to defend the most obviously unscientific statements hahnemann made about vital force.
We should understand, Hahnemann was compelled to explain diseases in terms of ‘vital force’, only due to the lack of scientific knowledge available to him during his period.
——————————————————————————————–
BIOLOGICAL MECHANISM OF HOMEOPATHIC CURE INVOLVED IN ‘SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR’:
FUNCTIONAL GROUPS or MOIETIES being part of individual constituent chemical molecules of DRUG SUBSTANCES bind to BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES in the organism in capacities of their conformational and charge affinities, thereby changing the natural conformations of biological molecules, and making them incapable of executing their normal biological functions, resulting in MOLECULAR INHIBITIONS. These inhibitions cause cascading deviations in bio-molecular processes amounting to pathology, which is expressed as trains of SUBJECTIVE and OBJECTIVE symptoms. This is the BIOLOGICAL MECHANISM involved in DRUG PROVING.
ENDOGENOUS or EXOGENOUS disease-causing molecules also produce INHIBITIONS of biological molecules, producing molecular errors and deviations in biochemical pathways which we call DISEASES, expressed through subjective and objective symptoms.
If symptoms of DISEASES and symptoms of DRUG PROVING are SIMILAR, that means the PATHOGENIC molecules as well as DRUG molecules inhibited SAME biological molecules. That also means, DRUG molecules as well as PATHOGENIC molecules were having SIMILAR functional groups or moieties so that they could attack SAME biological targets.
MOLECULAR IMPRINTS of drug molecules contained in potentized drugs can act as ARTIFICIAL BINDING SITES for pathogenic molecules having SIMILAR functional groups or moieties, thereby relieving the BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES from pathological inhibitions.
THIS IS THE BIOLOGICAL MECHANISM OF HOMEOPATHIC CURE INVOLVED IN ‘SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR’.
———————————————————————————————–
Let me define HOMEOPATHY scientifically as per MIT concepts I propose:
Homeopathy is a therapeutic method of curing diseases by using ‘MOLECULAR IMPRINTS’ of drug substances, which in ‘molecular forms’ could produce ‘symptoms’ similar to those presented by the patient.
‘Similarity’ of drug symptoms and disease symptoms indicate that the drug molecules and pathogenic molecules have ‘similar’ FUNCTIONAL GROUPS, by which they could bind to ‘similar’ biological molecules, and produce ‘similar’ molecular inhibitions that caused ‘similar’ molecular pathology which are expressed through ‘similar’ subjective and objective ‘symptoms’.
Molecular imprints of ‘similar’ drug molecules can act as artificial binding sites for ‘similar’ pathogenic molecules due to complementary affinity of conformations, thereby deactivating them and relieving the biological molecules from pathological inhibitions, which amounts to ‘CURE’.
According to my view, this is the scientific meaning of Similia Similibus Curentur.
—————————————————————————————————
Responding to my comments on his article ‘Micro-DNA Therapy’ published on www.similima.com, Saqib Rashid, BSc, MSc, DHM, NDTP posted:
“”Very respectfully after going through your comments I would suggest you should have some basic knowledge of genetics first, only by passing comments which include your own unscientfic baseless statements you can satisfy yourself or those who have no background knowledge but others qualified readers would like to see some refrences of your baseless proclamations like this ”Actually, diseases are caused by INHIBITIONS of enzymes, receptors and other biological molecules by binding of pathogenic molecules”. Your own comments indicate your own knowledge of homeopathic system is pretty week. Especially when you have no idea that most of homeopathic remedies are never proved. On an other note your weak knowledge has labelled all homeopathic remedies which are below 12C as non homeopathic. You have no idea of disease promotion and homeopathic interventions.”
According to him, my statement ‘diseases are caused by INHIBITIONS of enzymes, receptors and other biological molecules by binding of pathogenic molecules’ is an “unscientific baseless proclamation” which indicates my “knowledge of homeopathic system is pretty week”.
He also says my statement “all homeopathic remedies which are below 12C are non homeopathic” also indicates my “weak knowledge”. He also “suggests” I should have some “basic knowledge of genetics first”.
He sums up: “You have no idea of disease promotion and homeopathic interventions.”
I would request Saaqib Rashid to refer to some BIOCHEMISTRY texts, or ask some science-educated people to verify whether my statement ”actually, diseases are caused by INHIBITIONS of enzymes, receptors and other biological molecules by binding of pathogenic molecules” is a “baseless proclamation” or not. His response talks a lot about the limitations of his science lessons. I should remind him,“homeopathic knowledge” is not enough to understand what I said in my quoted statement, but needs some “scientific knowledge” also.”
According to Saaqib Rashid, who is deemed to have “strong knowledge of homeopathic system”, my statement “diseases are caused by INHIBITIONS of enzymes, receptors and other biological molecules by binding of pathogenic molecules” indicates my knowledge of homeopathic system is pretty week”. I should have said “diseases are caused by deviations in vital force”, to show my knowledge in homeopathy is STRONG, and to prove that I have “good idea of disease promotion and homeopathic interventions.”! FOR HIM, HOMEOPATHIC KNOWLEDGE IS EQUIVALENT TO SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE.
Actually, Saqib Rashid was trying to promote a range of products under the label ‘micro-dna therapy’, hoping to woo some homeopaths into its marketing network. In my comment, I had exposed the hollowness of their claim that their products are ‘similar’ to homeopathy, and that they can be used ‘along with’ homeopathy drugs, which obviously infuriated him.
I repeat: “Micro-DNA” products he promote have nothing to do nothing with Homeopathy or Modern science. Their products are promoted on the basis of a ‘theory’ that HIGH DILUTIONS of DNA contain nano-structural ‘mimics’ that can TELEPATHICALLY interact with our DNA through “RESONANCE OF VIBRATIONS! UTTER NONSENSE! Same time, they say their products are ‘diluted’ only upto 6c, which means much below avogadro limit, and they would contain ‘original’ starting materials- not ‘mimics’ as they claim.
Saqib Rashid and his company are trying to market a product SIMILAR to PC RESONANCE, PAPER REMEDIES, MP3 REMEDIES and such things, all of which are based on the nonsense theory of DYNAMIC ENERGY, FREQUENCY and TELEPATHIC RESONANCE! As any art of PSEUDOSCIENCE, they also profusely use scientific terms like GENETICS and DNA.
————————————————————————————————-
There may be many fantastic ‘theories’ about homeopathy going around. But, only the concepts proposed by MIT provide a scientific and rational model for BIOLOGICAL MECHANISM involved in the phenomenon of ‘similia similibus curentur’, in a way fitting to the paradigms of modern biochemistry, molecular biology and pharmacology. Only MIT concepts explain homeopathic therapeutics in terms of dynamics of target-ligand interactions and removal bio-molecular inhibitions. Only MIT explains homeopathy and potentization in terms of MOLECULAR IMPRINTING, without any involvement of unscientific concepts of ‘non-material’ ‘dynamic drug energy’ and ‘vital force’. Only MIT explains homeopathy as a specialized higher branch of MOLECULAR MEDICINE, without contradicting any of the accepted principles of modern science.
——————————————————————————————–
Most homeopaths skillfully evade all FUNDAMENTAL questions and discussions regarding WHAT, WHY and HOW of homeopathy by quoting Aphorisms of hahnemann, and declare homeopaths should be concerned only with PRACTICE and EXPERIENCE- not THEORIES! In the absence of rational thinking, common sense and scientific knowledge, EXPERIENCE never lead you to TRUTH. Do you think idiots will turn knowledgeable by mere EXPERIENCE?
—————————————————————————————
Without knowing what happens during potentization, what are the active principles of potentized drugs, and the exact biological mechanism by which potentized drugs act on our organism, how can you make ‘LAWS’ and ‘RULES’ regarding potency selection, doses, mode of administration, repetitions, drug relationships, antidoting, single/multiple drugs and such things related with PRACTICE?
By EXPERIENCE? Whose experience? Experience of ‘masters’ and ‘stalwarts’? What if ‘experiences’ and ‘interpretations’ differ from ‘stalwart’ to ‘stalwart’?
Some people say LOW potencies are better than HIGH potencies, according to their experience. For some others, HIGH potencies are better. HIGH potencies are ‘dangerous’ as per ‘experience’ for some homeopaths. LM potencies are ideal for certain people. Mother tinctures are OK for many homeopaths, but there are other who believe their use is un-homeopathic. Only SINGLE drug and SINGLE dose are admissible in homeopathy as per EXPERIENCE of a section homeopaths, but others consider there is no harm in using MULTIPLE drugs and MULTIPLE doses. Drugs will act from a ‘distance’ by ‘resonance’ of ‘frequencies’ for many homeopaths!
All these claims are based on EXPERIENCES- and EXPERIENCE is the PROOF for homeopathy! All these things reminds us about the story of ‘seven blind men’ who EXPERIENCED an elephant!
——————————————————————————————————
Scientific community is grossly misled by the ‘international representatives’ of homeopathy, by presenting it as an ENERGY MEDICINE discipline, as some sort of faith healing or spiritual healing, and talking all sorts of absurd ‘theories’ about it, which led the scientists to the summary rejection of homeopathy as ‘implausible’.
They are not inclined to take homeopathy as a serious topic to be researched, because, nobody has so far even proposed a rational and scientifically viable working hypothesis that could be considered as a candidate for scientific verification. Scientific research cannot happen without a sound hypothesis as its baseline, which should explain the phenomena in terms of ‘existing’ scientific knowledge system and formulate the concrete questions to be ‘proved’ according to scientific methods.
———————————————————————————————
Misusing the lack of regulations and absence of an official machinery for overseeing homeopathic practice and education, the unscientific CAM practitioners and ENERGY MEDICINE theoreticians have HIJACKED homeopathy in western countries! Even in India, with strict regulations and governmental control over the system of homeopathic education and practice, DRUG TRANSMISSIONIST QUACKS have succeeded in gaining control of our educational system!
———————————————————————————————
Most ‘homeopathic’ practitioners in western countries use RADIONICS, REFLEXOLOGY, DOWSING and all sorts of absurd things under the label of CAM. Whatever ‘homeopaths’ pretend or imagine, it is really gravely hopeless situation for homeopathy there. They are leading homeopathy to its ruin. Homeopaths should be ‘scientific’ PHYSICIANS- not FAITH HEALERS. They should Update scientifically, think scientifically, act scientifically, talk scientifically.
————————————————————-
I dont mind shedding some numbers from my facebook friends list by saying on their face that they are talking NONSENSE, when they talk utter foolish theories about homeopathy, making it a subject of unending mockery and ridicule by the scientific minded community. I take it as an honor conferred up on me for my work, when such people unfriend or block me.

Commenting on my post about RADIONICS machines, DAVID WITKO, the creator of the popular systems such as CARA, ISIS and AKIVA, posted on my page as follows:
“While I cannot speak for every remedy making machine – only the ones I know of – and as part of my homeopathic work I have spoken to some manufacturers of these machines – most of them have decided the frequency (or whatever it is) that is generated for a given remedy and potency by dowsing with a pendulum which frequency to give. Now let me be clear – I am not stating these machines do not work – that is for others to decide. I have no experience of using such remedy machines. Also I am not saying that dowsing with a pendulum is a bad thing.as I have tried this myself to interesting effect – but not as a homeopath. I am prepared for certain other kinds of remedy machines to be considered but I have personal reservations about these machines created by dowsing,.”
I was very much surprised and frustrated to read his comment, as it was beyond my imagination that an internationally respected person like David Witko, who created the popular homeopathic software systems such as Cara, ISIS and Akiva could support a totally unscientific RADIONICS MACHINE, which he calls REMEDY MAKING MACHINE.
His statement that “I am not saying that dowsing with a pendulum is a bad thing, as I have tried this myself to interesting effect”, and “I am prepared for certain other kinds of remedy machines to be considered” was really unbelievable for me.
It is wonderful to note that he has no any fundamental objections to RADIONICS MACHINES as such being used in Homeopathy, but is only ‘looking for’ a RIGHT brand of it. He is not questioning the UNSCIENTIFIC theory of ‘vibrations’ and resonance’ involved in it. He has no objection to the ‘theory’ that ANY homeopathic drug in ANY potency could be ‘prepared’ by ‘charging’ sugar of milk or sugar pills with SPECIFIC ‘frequencies’ of the selected drug in selected potency, which are ‘digitally’ PRELOADED in the computerized system of your machine.
For him, the issue is which particular brand of REMEDY MACHINE is better than another! He is not concerned about the totally NONSENSE principle behind it. He seems to support the unscientific VIBRATION theory, which postulates drugs can be represented by their vibrations- the theory that potentized drugs act by VIBRATIONS of DYNAMIC ENERGY. It is obvious that he failed to understand the foolishness involved in this VIBRATION THEORY, and as such, he could not discuss my topic in its correct scientific perspective.
I FEEL VERY SORRY TO NOTICE THAT MOST OF THE ‘LEADING’ PERSONALITIES OF INTERNATIONAL HOMEOPATHY LACK SCIENTIFIC WORLD OUTLOOK, RATIONAL THINKING, AND MINIMUM COMMON SENSE.

DAVID LITTLE EXPLAINS HOW TO USE ‘PALPATION’ FOR SELECTING SIMILIMUM AND POTENCY:
“Palpation is a method of assessing the state of health by means of examination with the hands. The different regions of the body are investigated for heat, cold, unusual growths, swellings, tightness, looseness, and pain by the hands of the examiner. Much of the information acquired during palpation can be used to test remedies much in the same manner as the other reflexes. For example, the tissue can be assessed for areas of tension, relaxation and pain before and after the remedies are brought in contact with the patient. The tight areas of the body become more relaxed and loose areas become more tight. Pain on contact is usually significantly reduced when the correct remedies are in contact with the human electromagnetic field or the body.”
” With proper biofeedback equipment the human operator can be removed from the testing altogether and the results analyzed by computers. This area of research is an aspect of modern science where homoeopaths can prove that their remedies have definite physiological results. These biofeedback systems can also be combined with the radionic methods to demonstrate the presence of subtle waves emanating from the human body as well as homoeopathic remedies. This work needs the assistance of those who are experienced in Homoeopathy if it is going to yield the best results. Dr. G. B. Stearns was such a man as he was one of the only Americans to use Boyd’s Emanometer and clinical reflex testing in conjunction with homoeopathy.”

And you should know sir, DAVID LITTLE is a big shark, roaming in the vast oceans of international ‘classical’ homeopathy! Scientific and skeptic community see him as one of authority and representative of homeopathy. They consider his words as homeopathy.
The latest Hpathy interview with David Little says: “Katja Schuett converses with David Little, one of the world’s greatest experts on Organon.” I wanted to show the real face of this “greatest experts on Organon”. His expertise in organon is so great, as to incorporate even reflexology into homeopathy!
—————————————————————————
DAVID LITTLE EXPLAINS HOW TO USE ‘SKIN RESPONSE” FOR SELECTING SIMILIMUM AND POTENCY:
“The skin resistance test is another easy to read response of the autonomic nervous system to a correct remedy. It is best if a sitting patient faces west or a prone person lies with the head to the north. The abdomen of the patient should be bared, and if the weather is humid, dried well with a cloth. The operator should then stroke the abdomen with a dielectric rod, such as one made out of glass, rubber, or bakelite. A drinking glass or a 6 oz. remedy bottle works very well. The remedies to be tested should be placed close by and handled by an assistant or the tester. The operator lightly strokes the abdomen in an up and down direction t in order to get a feel of the skin tonus of the patient.
The assistant or operator now picks up the remedy to be tested and brings it close or in contact with the body while the stroking motion is continued. The operator continues to stroke the abdomen to see if they can observe a “clinging” or “sticky” sensation as the skin is stroked. The dielectric rod will appear to “stick” or feel slightly retarded because of the galvanic skin response. In order to observe the stick effect the rod should be held horizontal to the abdomen and stroked vertically. To start with a single area to the side of, or immediately below the navel should be stroked. All remedies that cause a stick reaction should then be retested by stroking the other areas of the abdomen to see which one causes the largest area of the abdomen to respond. The remedy that shows the largest pattern of reaction will be found to have a strong effect on both the pupil dilation and pulse reflexes. It has also been found that the areas along the spine are also good areas for the testing of the remedies.
The same technique may be used for testing the remedies on the spine as for the abdomen. Some individuals seem to react better on the back than the front. It is also useful in those men who have too much abdominal hair to get a good response. The remedy that shows the largest area of reaction along the spine is the most suitable. Those individuals who have experience in Osteopathic or Chiropractic methods may notice certain relationships between the reflexes that respond and the areas of the illness treated. This is a phenomenon where research will prove most interesting to those with knowledge of the field. The inside of the arm, especially over the elbow joint, is also another area that responds well to the skin reflex. This area is convenient in situations where it may be impractical to bare the trunk of the body.”
———————————————————————————-
DAVID LITTLE EXPLAINS ‘PERCUSSION TECHNIQUE’ OF SELECTING SIMILIMUM AND POTENCY:
“The percussion technique can easily be done by anyone who has experience in the art of percussion for diagnostic purposes although a person can be trained in this method especially for the purpose of testing remedies. In this technique the patient is to be seated facing the west in a chair in the same manner as the previous tests. The experimenter may sit in front of patient toward the left side so that they can percuss the upper and outer section of the person’s chest. They may also stand behind the subject so as to reach over and percuss the subject’s chest from behind. An assistant stands about four or five feet away with the vials of the homoeopathic remedies placed on a table or chair”.
“The operator then begins to percuss the upper outer area of the apex of the lungs in a steady rhythm where the percussion-note is between flatness and resonance. When the experimenter is ready the assistant picks up a remedy and steps three or four feet away from the rest of the vials and then takes about two seconds to lift the vial upward until they reach the full length of the arm. If the remedy has any relationship to the patient, the percussion tone will become dull once the assistant touches the vial containing the remedy. As the remedy is raised upward the percussion-note may change to a higher pitch or becomes resonant again. Only those remedies which maintain a dull sound no matter how high the vial is held above the body are to be considered for retesting by the other methods for further assessment.”
“The distance that the remedy “holds” the dull percussion-note is related to its ability to influence the constitution in question. Some of the most active remedies have maintained the reaction at a distances of 75 to 100 feet or more! This imponderable remedy energy passes through walls made of brick, stone, concrete, or plaster without any obstruction. Stearns and his team observed remedy reactions at distances up to 200 feet. The remedy that “holds” the dullness of the percussion-note at the greatest distance is the remedy that will have the greatest influence over the vital force. Although these techniques are not very practical in the clinic it is quite amazing as a demonstration of the sensitivity of the human aura to the energy of a related homoeopathic remedy.”
————————————————————————————–
DAVID LITTLE EXPLAINING HOW TO USE ‘RESPIRATORY RESPONSE’ TO SELECT SIMILIMUM AND POTENCY:
“First of all, observe the rate, rhythm, depth, movement of the chest, and effort in breathing of the client. The normal respiratory rate for a resting adult is 14 to 20 breaths per minute. Infants can breathe up to 44 cycles per minute. After observing the respiration bring the remedy near and touch the patient as in the other testing methods and watch for a response. When a related remedy is brought near the patient will sometimes almost sigh, or take a deep breath, then a new respiratory rate will be established. Look for changes in the rhythm, depth and movement of the chest. Counting the respiration can be done at the same time that the pulse is assessed. These affects can be watched together after one has gained experience in the method. Breath sound changes can be ausculated with a stethoscope much in the same way as the heart sounds. Observation, tactile fremitus, palpation, and percussion also supply information about the state of health of the respiratory system and can be used to assess the actions of related remedies.”
—————————————————————————————
DAVID LITTLE EXPLAINS HOW TO USE ‘PULSE REFLEXES’ FOR SELECTING SIMILIMUM:
“While reading the pulse the remedy vial is brought near the subject’s back with a quick swing stopping a few inches away from the patient’s body and the changes in the pulse are recorded. The vial only needs to be in contact with the body for a few seconds but the effect may last for up to 60 seconds. The heart usually responds to the correct remedy with a sudden hesitation, sometimes for up to 1/2 a beat, followed by one loud beat of the heart, and a perceptively new rhythm and volume.”
“Sometimes the pulse will respond as soon as you pick up the remedy. These effects can be plainly distinguished by auscultation with a stethoscope and can be viewed on a fluoroscope. In cases where there are irregular beats the correct remedy seems to stabilize the pulse and make it more regular. If the heart is arrhythmic because of a serious pathological lesion there is still often a clear response.”
“The pulse can easily show the homoeopath which remedy the vital force wants in that moment. It will also help show you which potency is the most suitable. Autonomic reflex testing can make a great difference in any homoeopath’s practice, particularly when it is difficult to chose between a few well chosen remedies. It is also useful after several remedies have been used and the symptoms have become masked due to too many partial simillimums”.
———————————————————————————-
SEE DAVID LITTLE EXPLAINING HOW TO USE ‘PUPIL REFLEX’ FOR SELECTING SIMILIMUM:
“Once the is patient is relaxed and ready the operator shines the light into the person’s eyes. If one is using a shaded light it should be held no higher than the waist and suddenly turned upward so that the light shines into the patient’s eyes. If one is using a flashlight it should be held to the side and directed into the patient’s eyes from one to two feet away. The pupils will immediately contract and then after one or two seconds dilate slightly and come to rest. At this moment the assistant should come up behind the patient and with a quick movement bring the remedy close to the person’s body or lightly touch them. If the homoeopath is working alone they may bring the remedy very close or lightly touch the remedy to the hand of the patient while watching the pupils.”
“If the patient is sensitive to the remedy the pupils of the patient will dilate quite clearly and come to rest in a new position. In certain rare instances the pupils may contract first and then dilate. The remedy that causes the most dilation of the pupil of the pupil is the remedy to which the body is the most susceptible. After allowing the nervous system to settle down for a few minutes, retest the chosen remedy in various potencies. The potency that causes the largest, most stable dilation is the potency to which the body is most reactive. In this way we can use the vital force as a guide in helping to choose a suitable remedy in the proper potency”.
—————————————————————————————
See DAVID LITTLE, the most revered contemporary ‘international master’ of homeopathy, talking about using of REFLEXOLOGY in selecting Similimum and Potency:
“Through skillful reflex testing the homoeopath is able to communicate directly with the vital force by learning its language. We can ask the vital force what it wants through reading the reaction of the autonomic nervous reflexes to the stimuli caused by homoeopathic remedies. In this way we can know if a remedy is going to react before we give it! It can also help us to find the correct potency to use. This certainly is a great advantage. This can most easily be done by observing the pupil reflex, the pulse and respiration, palpating and percussing the chest and abdomen, and testing the galvanic skin response with a dielectric substance on the skin of the patient.”
“All of these effects are the reaction of the autonomic nervous system to the radiations of energy waves from the homoeopathic remedy. In fact many of these reflexes will react before the vial is actually brought into contact with the patient”.
Nothing to wonder scientific community dismisses homeopathy as ‘fake’, ‘superstitious beliefs’ and ‘quackery’! No wonder James Randy and his skeptic friends rocking!

After deciding the similimum for you patient through ‘classical’ case taking and repertorisation, instead of going to your medicine racks, simply move to the RADIONICS machine on your table. Place some blank sugar of milk or sugar pills in the machine, and set the dials of the machine to select the name of drug and potency you want to prepare. ANY DRUG, ANY POTENCY! Then switch on the machine. With in seconds, the sample of sugar of milk or sugar pills will be CHARGED by the SPECIFIC ‘frequencies’ of the selected drug in selected potency, which are ‘digitally’ PRELOADED in the computerized system of your machine. Take the CHARGED sample out of the machine, and give it to the patient. You need not worry about availability of drugs or potencies, need not worry about investing money for purchasing medicines!
This is not a fairy tale. This is what is done in in the posh clinics of most of the ‘classical’ ‘HOMEOPATHY’ practitioners in western countries now-a-days. They claim this is SCIENTIFIC HOMEOPATHY!
Using this wonderful device, you can prepare in seconds ANY potency of ANY drug, even such as INDIAN ELEPHANT, BERLIN WALL, MILKY WAY, RAINBOW, INDIAN PARROT, TIGER, LION etc etc! Unlimited!

SCIENTIFIC OUTLOOK is different from SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE. How much knowledge one might have accumulated in particular branches of science, in the absence of RATIONAL THINKING and COMMON SENSE, he will be most UNSCIENTIFIC in his WORLD OUTLOOK. That is why we see a lot of prominent SCIENTISTS and EXPERTS without any SCIENTIFIC WORLD OUTLOOK.

DR. BS.. RAJPUT, LUCKNOW, INDIA, COMMENTED ON MY PAGE:
“You must be knowing about Grand Master Choa kok sui. The World Pranic Healing Foundation of Manilla, Philippines where method of treatment is based on Erehetic body(Energy body) and Aura and auric body. The treatment is given through Pranic Healing method sitting any where in the world. There are great literature on the this method of treatment. If one can treat any patient sitting in any part of the world by pranic Healing method, why the patient can not be cured by giving homeopathic medicine on the eyes of the photograph of the person. There are so many miracles in the world having no scientific explanations but they work well. The experience in this filed and reported cases are the true scientific data. In this world any thing may happen provided one knows the correct techniques. We should not discard the distance healing through Homeopathic medicines. We have the examples. The Homeopathic treatment is itself based on practical examples, where is the scientific research on homeopathic treatment and its system. I pay full regards to the practitioners and their efforts.”
His logic: “If one can treat any patient sitting in any part of the world by pranic healing method, why the patient can not be cured by giving homeopathic medicine on the eyes of the photograph of the person?”. This question is enough for him to justify ‘hair transmission’!
Dr Rajput also is a HOMEOPATHIC ‘PHYSICIAN’, holding an honorable BHMS degree from a reputed HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGE in India!. We are talking SCIENCE to a community of which people like him make the majority! I feel sympathy for myself!

One of homeopath friends commented on my page:
“Regarding hair transmission, as I think, at first we should examine & observe the effect of this mode of application of homeopathic medicines. Only then one has right to comment either in positive or in negative aspects.”
This doctor seems to think that there is some possibility for ‘hair transmission’ to work, which we have to ‘experiment’ ourselves before denying. He is not still sure whether or not our hair, skin, blood and other body wastes can keep a ‘dynamic relationship’ with our body even from far distances! He is not still sure, whether or not such body wastes can act as ‘transmitters’ of ‘drug energy’! He is not sure whether or not potentized drugs can ’emit radiations’ of dynamic energy that could be ‘transmitted’ by hair to ‘specific targets’ at long distances! He asks me to EXPERIMENT myself first to make it sure whether it WORKS or not, to attain RIGHT for criticizing it!
Sir, according to your logic, we have to ‘experiment’ every obviously nonsense things before opposing them? We have to experiment all woodoo, witchcraft, astrology and black magics, before saying they are nonsense?
According to your logic, I have to ‘experiment’ with meditation proving, trituration proving, dream proving, pc resonance remedies, mp3 file remedies, paper remedies, radionics, reflexology, photo transmission, phone transmission, and HAIR TRANSMISSION, for getting RIGHT to comment on them?
I have to ‘down load’ the ‘digital files’ of ‘resonance medicines’ of Peter Chappel, and ‘experiment’ by ‘playing’ them to HIV patients and BIRD FLU, before saying they are pure rubbish? I have to by a RADIONICS machine and start preparing ‘any medicine in any potencies’ by imprinting their pre-recorded ‘frequencies’ into sugar of milk or sugar pills, to EXPERIMENT them?
When a ‘homeopath’ says he treats sitting in london, patients around the world by applying drugs in the eyes of their photographs downloaded from computer, as per your logic, I have no RIGHT say it is nonsense, before collecting clinical evidences in my support, by experimenting myself with applying drugs in photos of people in another country?
We have to experiment all proven laws of physics and chemistry again and again to make it sure they are right? Do you remember, if hair transmission is right, ALL things we learned so far in physics, chemistry, biology and every science will have to be wrong? Certain thing obviously impossible as per scientific laws need not be experimented to know whether they work or not. Giving the favor of even suspicion to nonsenses such as ‘hair transmission’ amounts to indirectly supporting them.

Dr Pranab Gupta says: “In hair transmission we deal with the DNA- TeleProcess of hair strands and energy of medicine of 50 millicimal potency”! He said ‘Hair Transmission Homeopathy is a “sort of micro-surgery’!
Shall I cry or laugh? Dr Pranab Gupta seems think that, having a label of ‘homeopath’, one need not have any limits to talking absurd?

Today I got a very valuable piece of advice from Dr Bhabinesh: “if you are boxing with a pig in the mud u r getting dirtier, n the pig is enjoying the play.”

One homeopath commented on my post: “More than 3 years I practice Classical Homoeopathy through Hair transmission.”
It is a funny paradox!. A person, practicing ‘Hair Transmission’ claims he is practicing ‘CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY’!
Would anybody here, please define what is this Classical Homeopathy? Is it a feather that fits to any clown’s cap?

EFFECTS OF VIBRATIONS AND SOUNDS ON BODY:
A particle represents a specific ‘quantum equilibrium’ of forces. Once this ‘equilibrium’ is lost beyond certain limits, it cannot exist as it is- it will have to get divided into smaller particles, or modified to another structure. Every particle of matter vibrates in an attempt to resist external forces, and to maintain its specific internal balance of forces or quantum equilibrium. Whenever some extra force from an external source try to disturb its equilibrium, it vibrates more, in order to shed off the extra force, and retains equilibrium. That means, vibrations or motions are processes related with maintaining Quantum Equilibrium of particles. When a particle sheds of extra forces, that extra force will obviously be transmitted to other particles nearby, since force cannot exist free from matter particles. That is why motion of an object set other objects also into motion, which we call ‘resonance’.
When our vocal chords vibrate using extra forces transmitted into it by the energy generated in the mitochondria of muscle cells, that vibrations shed off forces to produce vibration in the air. Those vibrations in air travels through air or any medium as waves. It affects our body, when these vibrations reach their. Various neurochemicals in the cells in our skin is activated, and these vibrations are converted into chemical signals, which travels to brain, producing a cascading of chemical changes which we experience as SENSATIONS as well MENTAL processes. Vibrations belonging to specific frequencies activate neurochemicals in our internal ears, which are transmitted to certain centers of brain through auditory nerves, which produces the sensation of HEARING, and followed by generation of mental images associated with it.
ALL the vibrations entering our body from environment can affect the biochemical processes in our body in different ways. They can have disease-causing and disease-curing effects.
Most important point to be noted is, VIBRATIONS are physical motion of matter particles, which can be transmitted through a material medium, and its effects on our body are purely BIOCHEMICAL. There is no IMMATERIAL vibrations. Nothing immaterial, divine or spiritual in these sounds or its effects. No saint can chant mantra if there is no air to be set into motion by the motion of his vocal chords. Even if he saint chants any holy mantra of whatever intensity, it can be transmitted only through MATERIAL medium such as air. His mantra will not travel through vaccum, or affect anybody if there is no a MATERIAL medium to carry it forward to a listener.
Regarding the possibility of DNA changes or PROGRAMING by sounds as some people imagine to happen, it seems to be an exaggerated fancy. Better to say BIOCHEMICAL changes. EVEN if any effects are produced in our bodies by material vibrations of various frequencies, they are BIOCHEMICAL effects produced by PHYSICAL motion of MATTER particles. There is nothing IMMATERIAL or SPIRITUAL in this phenomenon.
———————————————————————————
ENERGY MEDICINE nonsense is based on the concept of IMMATERIAL vibrations, immaterial FORCES, immaterial FREQUENCIES, immaterial RESONANCE and such things, which contradict our existing scientific knowledge system. That is why they talk about DRUG ENERGY without any DRUG MOLECULES, which act from DISTANCE dynamically. I know it a futile exercise to talk science to those who do not know the basic lessons of science.

A young 28 year old BHMS homeopath from Ghazipur, Uttar pradesh, India, asked a wonderful question while commenting on my post regarding ‘homeopathic drug transmission through hair’ as follows:
“What is the problem to all of you from drug transmission?”.
I consider this question as very ‘important’, since it reflects the dangerous mindset of a prominent section of homeopathic community, who are not at all concerned with any absurd things happening in homeopathy, and who are content with the ‘good’ PRACTICE they get and ‘good’ MONEY they generate.
I dont think I have to learn anything from someone practicing ‘hair transmission’. I am not available for an argument with those who do not understand even the basic priciples of science or scientific method. Beg excuse.
————————————————————————–
Chairman of Educational Committee of CCH under Government of India, conducting a QUACKERY course in ‘DRUG TRANSMISSION THROUGH HAIR’! It is a shame up on whole homeopathy community of India. He should be made accountable by the community.
If it were you or me conducting such an UNRECOGNIZED ‘post graduate’ course for ‘homeopathy graduates’, CCH would have put us behind bars with in no time! Not only CCH. There are many high profile professional organizations for homeopaths. Why nobody raising this question?
—————————————————————————-
I stumbled across the works of the followers of Dr. B. Sahni who runs the Research Institute Of Sahani Drug Transmission & Homoeopathy in Patna . The Sahani protocol is rather wonderful: a homeopathic remedy is chosen in the classical way, by matching symptoms to a remedy. The chosen pill is then dissolved in a vial and a single hair is then plucked from the customer’s head and placed in the vial with a little bit sticking out. The hair is then able to transmit the ENERGY of the remedy back to the owner.
This Institute with the present Chairman Dr.M.K.Sahani is now working on Research, Teaching and Clinical Help to patient by this method. It has come out with a postgraduate course in Drug Transmission for the medical graduates, which is of three months duration . Institute is also working on the project of Tele-medical Center with satellite center in different places, with facility to treat patient with Drug Transmission.
According to their website, Dr. M K Sahani MD (Hom.) PGDHHM is also the Chairman, Education Committee, Central Council of Homoeopathy, New Delhi, and President, The Homeopathic Medical Association of India, Bihar State Branch.
KINDLY NOTE: A person decorating the high profile official position of “Chairman, Education Committee, Central Council of Homoeopathy, New Delhi” is also working as the “Chairman of Institute Of Sahnai Drug Transmission & Homoeopathy in Patna”, and conducting “postgraduate course in Drug Transmission for the medical graduates”. Did anybody inquire whether “hair transmission” is RECOGNIZED by Central Council Of Homeopathy? Is it LAWFUL and ETHICAL for the Head of Education Committee of Central Council of Homoeopathy of Government of India to run such an UNRECOGNIZED ‘post graduate course’ in DRUG TRANSMISSION?

‘prominent’ proponent of ‘DRUG TRANSMISSION THROUGH HAIR” explains his method of practice as follows:
“A strand of HAIR is taken out either cut or uprooted from the head of the patient. Selected medicine is taken in fifty millisimal potency and diluted in water in a 5ml vial and ten stroke was given. This vial is ready for putting the hair in it. Strand of hair taken out from the patient is inserted in the vial containing diluted medicine. This is termed as “Transmitting set”. It is put in safe cupboard after putting name of medicine, date and patients name OR code number allotted to the patient. When the hair is put in the vial of transmitting set it is termed as Transmission “ON” and when the hair is detached from it is termed as Transmission “OFF”
Patient is advised to report for progress after fifteen days. Follow-up progress is noted when the patient revisited the clinic after fifteen days. Homoeopathic observation of the caseis followed up and change in medicine is made considering the action.
Following changes are made depending on the result: No change in symptoms- ten stroke were given to the transmitting set. Positive progress- No change is made in the transmitting set. Aggravation in symptoms- Either hair is detached from the transmitting set or waited without any change depending on the progress noted. Adverse changing symptoms- Transmission is put OFF and waited for change.
When need of change in medicine is felt either due to wrong selection or for use of complementary medicine. Hair was taken out from the first transmitting set and inserted in the new transmitting set containing new medicine. Has to be properly wiped out before inserting in new medicine.
Medicine used for transmission is selected from the general pool of the Homoopathic medicine in fifty millisimal potency.
The advantages of this method are as follows: Distance of patient is no bar for patient either in first or subsequent consultations. In case of aggravation simply detaching the hair will check agg. It is a continuous process, patient receives medicine till the vial contain his hair. It is the quickest method of effects obtained by homoeopathy which I have witnessed in my practice several times. Change of medicine is so simple that after washing hair put it in another medicated vial. Patient need not to come your office, he has only to inform us by telephone or message.”
—————————————————————————————-
Dr M K Sahni, who is the present Chairman of this ‘school’ of practice, says:
“We at our Institute and other general Hospital in Patna are practising this Drug Transmission very successfully. Hair taken out from the patient is inserted in this phial containing medicine and ten stroke is given. We are providing training for its detailed application, which also need thorough knowledge of classical Homoeopathy. Use of single similar medicine is really actualized in our Drug Transmission. Hair transmission has got many advantages over the oral route: 1. It is easy and handy. Control of dose does not arise as control man be maintained by simply removing the hair. 2. When there is cnfusio in the selection of medicine the same may be put to test and the correct one aministered. 3. As distance is no bar out-station patient can be treated easily. We have many such patient outside. 4. Action by this method is quicker 5. It helps in the selection of the potency also 6. In case of aggravation. the hair is detached and further medication is checked. There is no need to antodote. 7. It is the cheapest method 8. It is victory ver space in medical field. 9. It removes the dogmas of so many donts like smell, smoke tobacco etc. 10. It is advancement towards the tele-treatment and now emerging as the system for many patients who are now placed in different cities all over the globe. THey keep in touch of us through the email, telephone. 11. In case of emergency also we have handled such cases from our clinic and patient remained at their place, thus saving lot of time and energy.”

SCIENTIFIC-MINDED HOMEOPATHS should not let these people go like this. They should not be allowed pretend as homeopaths. If they want to practice occult, let them do without misusing the name of homeopathy
If this type of occult practice is being claimed to be homeopathy, we should really feel ashamed to say we are homeopaths. How can we face the scientific community and talk about “scientific explanation of homeopathy”?
If ‘drug energy’ can be “transmitted” to me from long distances through a hair, nail, blood or other tissues removed from my body, and even photographs, how can I dare to throw away my hair in a garbage pit? What if somebody unknowingly deposits some toxic substances on it? How can I entrust my blood sample to a clinical lab, without fearing that they can do some mischief to me by putting some harmful medicines in my blood sample? I think I have to be very cautious to preserve my cut hair and nail without reaching the hands of my enemies!
——————————————————————————————
WHOLE SCIENTIFIC MINDED HOMEOPATHS AND PROFESSIONAL BODIES SHOULD COME FORWARD AGAINST THESE “OCCULT” PRACTICES DONE IN THE NAME OF HOMEOPATHY. THESE PEOPLE ARE MAKING HOMEOPATHY A SUBJECT OF MOCKERY BEFORE THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY.
—————————————————————————————
The “experience” you are talking about “drug transmission through hair is nothing new to us. The are a lot of black magicians doing “occult” practices in Indian villages, especially tribal areas, who uses hair, blood, nails, foot prints, and even “shadows’ of enemies to ‘send’ evil forces’ to harm them. Only difference is that you claim to send “medicinal forces” of potentized homeopathic drugs instead of “evil forces”. All those ancient occult practices existed here in the name of “experience” the same way as you also do. They also do good ‘business’ even now, and could produce many ‘genuine’ witnesses to authenticate their claims.
——————————————————————————————–
If any body want to ‘practice’ ‘drug transmission’ or any other such occult practices, it is their choice. But when you link those unscientific practices with homeopathy, and to conduct POST GRADUATE ‘courses’ and seminars for attracting homeopaths into it, it is a different matter. Homeopathy is a system of therapeutics. Any ‘therapeutic’ system uses one or other drug substance into the body of the patient. Nobody can practice ‘drug transmission’ in the name of homeopathy. Sir, did you ever think about the harm you are doing to our attempts to make homeopathy accepted as part of modern scientific medical practice? Adding something that goes completely against accepted scientific knowledge system into homeopathy will create a lot of difficulties to the homeopathic profession who try it it to establish as a scientific therapeutics. You are making homeopathy a subject of constant mockery before the scientific community.I feel very much disgusted to see eminent respected homeopaths like you being part of these unscientific practices. I can only pray your goodness to return back to your rational senses.
I know I am “not the authority to stop those who are practicing Homeopathic drug energy transmission through hair”. But as an Indian citizen, it is my inalienable constitutional right to openly express my opinions- right for freedom of expression.
———————————————————————————————
If this method is proved by scientific method, its proponents will get ALL nobel prizes in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine together. LOL!
Proving HAIR TRANSMISSION to be right means all existing sciences are proved wrong. ALL the nobel prizes so far given through years to scientists will have to be taken back by the sweedish academy!!!

If you say EVERYTHING said in ORGANON is right, that means either you did not read the whole of organon carefully, or, you lack the capacity of rational and reasonable thinking about what you were reading. That means you lack a SCIENTIFIC mind. As time and human knowledge advance, at least SOMETHING in every book will become obsolete, especially if it is dealing with MEDICAL SCIENCE. Homeopathy is an art of therapeutics, and organon is a text book explaining that art of therapeutics. EVERYTHING said in a textbook of THERAPEUTICS written 250 years ago cannot be right. If any body hope to prove himself to be a BETTER CLASSICAL homeopath than others by saying everything in organon is right, he is thoroughly mistaken.

Our friend, Gala Homeopathy has placed an advertisement on our discussion group regarding a NEW ‘homeopathic’ drug THYMUS GLAND claimed to be PROVED BY MEDITATION.
“Thymus Gland, from the meditative provings, is a relatively new remedy but has already proved itself to be invaluable for understanding and treating chronic patterns of illness which reflect the hectic changes and demands of our modern society. The thymus gland plays a vital role in developing and maintaining the immune system and it is important to appreciate that a fully functional thymus is essential to our health and well being on a physical level as we become adults with a mature immune system in place. This seminar will explain the idea that the thymus gland stores the totality blueprint of the individual including often syphilitic karmic and spiritual patterns which enable our life paths. It is of major importance to consider this aspect of the gland.
When the gland is undamaged then this physical, emotional and spiritual inheritance can be referenced in order to guide us through childhood and puberty to develop into adults that are emotionally and spiritually aware and able to take advantage of their innate individual strengths to develop strategies for the fulfilment of their lives.
Unfortunately the thymus gland is very susceptible to environmental, emotional, mental and physical traumas, especially vaccination and toxicity that are able to damage the blueprint and, in extreme cases, distort the successful passage to puberty and beyond. These traumas are very common, they manifest in a variety of individual guises and can be difficult to resolve or sometimes even to recognise.”
MEDITATION PROVING is the latest ADVANCEMENT in western homeopathy, and a lot of NEW drugs, materia medica and repertories are emerging on that basis. In meditation proving, the PROVER does not take the risk of consuming drugs, but simply holds a sample and meditates over it. SYMPTOMS will appear by the DYNAMIC ACTION of the drug! It is very simple, and getting very popular now.
GALA HOMEOPATHY provides a big list of DRUGS PROVEN MEDITATIVELY on their website, and invite orders from homeopaths.
You can see for sale here BERLIN WALL, MILKY WAY, RAINBOW, BANYAN TREE, BLUE, GREEN, ORANGE, PURPLE, RED, YELLOW, SNOW DROP and such wonderful drugs, all PROVEN BY MEDITATION.
If anybody can PROVE a drug by MEDITATION, they should be capable of CURING by meditating the drug selected as similimum. Select the similimum, give a sample of it to the patient to HOLD in his hand or keep under the pillow, and ask him to MEDITATE. Drug will act homeopathically and CURE! Since we can use a single sample repeatedly for many patients, it will be very economical also. For better, instead of MEDITATING a remedy for proving, why cant the physician MEDITATE about the patient sitting before him, RECORD his VIBRATIIONS into water or sugar of milk, and prescribe?
DEAR GALA, KINDLY LEAVE POOR HOMEOPATHY ALONE. AT LEAST DO NOT CALL YOUR OCCULTS AS HOMEOPATHY. MARKET IT UNDER SOME OTHER CAM LABELS, PLEASE!

I am trying to promote SCIENTIFIC approach in HOMEOPATHY. I am trying to evolve and prove an explanation regarding ‘how homeopathy works’, in a way fitting to modern scientific knowledge system and methods. I am interested in DISCUSSIONS only with those who can understand the ‘language of science’. I want to discuss homeopathy using scientific paradigms.
I am not interested in fruitless arguments with those who believe in ideas such as ‘homeopathy is energy medicine’, ‘homeopathy is spiritual healing’, ‘potentiized drugs act dynamically at a distance’, ‘science is unscientific’, ‘homeopathy is beyond science’, ‘hahnemann is the greatest ever scientist’ and the like. Kindly excuse.
————————————————————————————————-
According to modern science, ‘force’ exist and act as a function of ‘matter’. There is no ‘force’ without matter. ‘Force’ acts through specific carrier particles. Actually, force particles are minute forms of matter itself. There are ‘four’ fundamental forces in nature- strong force, weak force, electromagnetic force and gravitational force. All these four fundamental forces exist and interact though carrier particles of specific quantum states. Exactly, all these four fundamental forces are different quantum states of same force, which is the ‘motion’ associated with ‘matter’. There is no ‘matter’ without ‘motion’, or motion without matter. Matter exists in motion, and motion is form of existence of matter. Motion is expressed as ‘space’, and ‘matter’ is expressed as ‘mass’. There is no ‘mass’ without ‘space’, or ‘space’ without ‘mass’.
According to dynamism, ‘force’ exists and interacts free from matter or space. Dynamic drug energy can exist free from drug substance. Drug force can act from a distance, without any ‘material’ involvement.
————————————————————————————————-
’Remedies are DYNAMIC’. Remedies interact with ‘dynamic’ vital force. Disease and cure are ‘dynamic’. Drugs act due to ‘dynamic drug energy’. These are very common phrases in ‘classical’ homeopathic paradigms.
What is exactly meant by ‘dynamic’? This word comes from the metaphysical concept of ‘dynamism’. Dynamism is a metaphysical concept conceived by Gottfried Leibniz (1646–1716) and developed into a full system of cosmology, totally unacceptable to modern science and scientific method. Dynamism in metaphysical cosmology explains the material world in terms of active, pointlike forces, with no extension but with action at a distance. Dynamism describes that which exists as simple elements, or for Leibniz, monads, and groups of elements which have only the essence of forces.
According to ‘dynamic’ view, interaction between elements takes place without contact, through modes or even harmonics of motion, yielding all phenomena in the Universe.
Various treatments of Dynamism can be found in the works of Baruch Spinoza and Henri Bergson, and also, long before them, Parmenides, the Atomists, and Plotinus. In more contemporary works, elements of Dynamism also developed into process philosophy, via Alfred North Whitehead and others, as well as systems theory via Ludwig von Bertalanffy and William Ross Ashby. Immanuel Kant was another philosopher who helped the development of the theory of dynamism.
———————————————————————————————
Hahnemann’s explanations of homeopathy were obviously influenced by the ancient philosophy of ‘dynamism’. Modern proponents of ‘energy medicine’ theories also explain homeopathy on the basis of concepts of ‘dynamism’.
‘Forces’ existing free from matter, and ‘matter acting at distances without any material contact or interaction’ is an idea very dear to all practitioners of occult healing arts. The idea of a ‘medicinal force’ that can be ‘freed’ from drug substance, and ‘transferred’ to water of sugar of milk, that can act on organism in ‘dynamic way’- all these come from ‘dynamism’.
Without freeing homeopathy from the influence of ‘dynamism’, we cannot hope it to be accepted as a scientific medical system.
———————————————————————————————–
Some homeopaths argue, drug substances are ‘converted’ to ‘energy’ and ‘transferred’ to rectified spirit or sugar of milk during potentization. And this ‘dynamic drug energy’ acts upon the vital force to effect a cure.
Mechanical energy applied during trituations may break the intermolecular bonds in the drug substances, and they would be divided maximum up to the level of constituent molecules and ions. Further division to atomic level will not happen, since nobody can generate such a high amount of energy by ‘trituration’ to break the very strong chemical bonds between atoms inside molecules. Imagining about ‘conversion’ of matter into energy by potentization reflects utter ignorance of fundamentals of physics.
———————————————————————————————–
Medicinal properties of a substance is decided by the structure and chemical properties of constituent molecules of that drug substance. If those molecules were divided further into atoms or subatomic particles as some people imagine, the medicinal properties would have been lost.
For example, the medicinal properties of nux vomica is based on the structure and properties of various chemical molecules contained in it, such as strychnine, brucine etc etc. Strychnine is C21H22N2O2. Brucine is C23H26N2O4. If these molecules were divided into atomic level during trituration or potentization, there will be only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen remaining. Both strychnine and brucine contain same atoms. It is the difference in their structural level organaization that give them different chemical and medicinal properties. If substances are divided into atoms during potentization, potentized brucine and strychnine should not differ in medicinal properties, since both of them contain same atoms.
————————————————————————————————
Logically, there is only a single way by which the medicinal properties of complex drug molecules could be transferred to medium during potentization. It is by ‘molecular imprinting’. Individual molecules and ions being part of the drug substance are subjected to molecular imprinting during potentization. These ‘molecular imprints’ of drug molecules are the exact active principles of potentized drugs, which act as therapeutic agents by binding to pathogenic molecules and thereby removing molecular inhibitions.
————————————————————————————————
There is no such a thing called ‘drug energy’ that can be liberated from drug substances and ‘transferred’ to another medium abandoning the original drug substances. Medicinal properties of substances come from the ‘structure’ of individual constituent molecules contained in drug substances. In the absence of ‘drug molecules’, there cannot be any ‘drug energy’. During potentization, through the process of molecular imprinting, the supra-molecular structure of water is changed, and it is this ‘changed water’ or molecular imprints that act as therapeutic agents. It has nothing to do with ‘liberation’ or ‘transfer’ of drug energy. Only molecular imprinting.
————————————————————————————————-
Without a baseline knowledge of biochemistry- especially the mechanism of ‘ligand-target’ interactions of biological molecules, molecular basics of pathology, molecular inhibitions and dynamics of ‘cure’ as removal of molecular inhibitions, you cannot follow the scientific explanation of similia similibus curentur.
Without a scientific perspective of molecular composition of drug substances, and the molecular mechanism by which the drug substances interact with biological organism to produce pathological inhibitions and symptoms, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of drug proving.
Without getting yourselves introduced to the latest information regarding supra-molecular properties of water and ethyl alcohol, hydrogen bonding, hydration shells, supra-molecular nano-structures, guest-host complexes, molecular imprinting in polymers and related subjects, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of potentization in terms of ‘molecular imprinting’.
Scientific understanding of homeopathy, similar to any rational science of medicine, should be primarily based on the realization of ‘life’ as a ‘material’ phenomenon. Living world represents a higher level of organization of same elemental factors existing in the non-living world, an advanced stage of its evolution that happened through millions of years.
‘Living organism’ is a highly complex and self-regulated material system that exists through ‘vital processes’ or metabolic processes, consisting of systematic chains of inter-dependant biochemical pathways of complex molecular interactions, enabling an unhindered flow and conversion of matter and energy between organism and its environment that ensures the existence of life.
Phenomena of ‘mind’ and ‘mental faculties’ are the ‘functional’ products of complex biochemical molecular processes happening in the central nervous system, which is an integral part of ‘body’, and as such, mind has no existence free from the material body.
If you cannot understand this basic scientific perspective of ‘life’, ‘vital processes’ and ‘mind’, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of homeopathy.
In the absence of these essential basic scientific knowledge, you will go on talking about ‘energy medicine’, vital force, dynamic drug energy, spiritual healing, vibrations, resonance, distance healing and such diverse unscientific and pseudo-scientific things, and continue to make homeopathy and homeopaths a subject of unending mockery and ridicule before the scientific community. And of course, you will go on declaring homeopathy is the ultimate science, hahnemann is the greatest scientist, and modern science is lagging far behind homeopathy!

COMMENTING ON MY POST ABOUT APHORISM 28 OF ORGANON, A YOUNG LADY HOMEOPATH POSTED ON MY PAGES AS FOLLOWS:
“hahnemann statement is right beacause science has limitation beacause in science you can only observe how its happen i.e. mechanism ,reaction but why it happens u dont know and science dont know so master says in 28 aphorism its matter little.
science has limitation beacause its made by human mind and human mind also has limitation. science is imperfect in science theory and concept continious change. correct master neglect the scientific explanation beacause u never see why it happen mechanism
homoeopathy is natural science , nature is same before thosund year and present time no change and hope in future nature remain same. science never make perfect beacause its made by human mind. human mind and science both are changable. imperfecr and changble thing have no existance in universe
human mind(science) only seee from tosound oof year back how is happen how is this happen. but have no fixed theory after thousund year and u r saying advance science. in our universe only immaterial thing have existance and material thing have no existance in universe. anger love etc all are immaterial thing and they have existance. human mind and science sees anger and love they see always reaction after anger and love
hahnwmann know all the thing very well and understand very clear in unprijudice way so he say scitific explanation is little.”
DID ANYBODY GET ANY IDEA FROM THIS POST? I UTTERLY FAILED TO FOLLOW HER PROFUSE FLOW OF THOUGHTS, AND HAD TO GIVE UP DISCUSSING WITH HER. I AM RE-POSTING IT HERE TO DEMONSTRATE THE PATHETIC STANDARD OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE, COMMON SENSE AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE OF A HOMEOPATHIC GRADUATE CLAIMING HERSELF TO BE A ‘CLASSICAL HOMEOPATH’.
WHAT DOES OUR REPUTED HOMEOPATHIC COLLEGES ACTUALLY ‘TEACH’ THIS KIND OF STUDENTS DURING THEIR FIVE YEAR COURSE OF STUDY?
——————————————————————————————————
Excuse me, I do not want to be dragged into that sort of NONSENSE argument once again. “immaterial things”, “existence of sound after death”, “scientific proof is limited”, “healing and soothing”, “material and immaterial transposed”….. ENOUGH OF IT! It is very difficult to talk to persons who do not understand LANGUAGE OF SCIENCE. Please leave me alone.
——————————————————————————————————–
Retorting furiously to my comments about those homeopaths who “quote Aphorism 28 as the most convenient way of evading hard questions and covering their ignorance about how homeopathy works”, one prominent homeopath from India made his first ever post on page:
“You are taking too much liberty to comment on homeopathy. It is obvious you do not know anything about this science. Please stop misguiding people with your half cooked knowledge.”
Probably, he might be a man of immense ‘well-cooked’ knowledge about homeopathy, who cannot tolerate anything ‘half-cooked’. I know, not only this man, there are a lot of ‘homeopaths’ feeling uncomfortable and restless over my “taking too much liberty” to ask ‘prohibited’ questions and to comment on homeopathy. People who seems to think they OWN homeopathy, and I should get their permission to “comment” on it! They are of the opinion that I “do not know anything abt this science”. All of them want me to “stop misguiding people” with my “half cooked” knowledge”, as if it is their divine right to ‘guide’ the homeopaths by selling their unscientific theories, methods, and seminars. I know very well the reason behind their anger.
I AM HAPPY THAT THEY HAVE AT LEAST STOPPED IGNORING ME!
—————————————————————————————————–
Some homeopaths seem to think that we have to first prove science wrong, in order to prove homeopathy right! Due to their poor level of scientific knowledge, they believe science and homeopathy are incompatible, and behave as if they have a pathological aversion towards science! They always talk about ‘limitations’ of science and ‘unscientificness’ of science.
My wonder is, how our most talented young students coming after a 12 year stream of higher-secondary level science education, get converted into such a poor level of scientific awareness and outlook, once they undergo a five year course of study in our homeopathic colleges. I think it is our present homeopathic curriculum and the most unscientific-minded academic community that guide them 250 years backwards in scientific knowledge, to make them perfect ‘classical homeopaths’ and ‘true followers’ of our ‘master’. In order to prove they are worthy of those titles, they declare anywhere they appear: “Homeopathy is the greatest ever science, and ‘our master’ is the greatest ever scientist”! They would also say, “science is lagging behind homeopathy”!
——————————————————————————————————
If I think ” Hahnemann’s basic idea was wrong”, why should I spend so much time and energy for discussing homeopathy, and explaining it in scientific terms? BASIC IDEA of homeopathy is true. But it is explained in very unscientific way. That creates all problems for homeopathy.
——————————————————————————————————–
Today I learned one or two very valuable lessons: I should not waste my time to talk science to a person who does not understand the language of science. I should not engage in arguments with idiots who think they are very knowledgeable and clever, as they can very easily drag me down to their level, and beat me by their superiority in idiocy.
——————————————————————————————————–
HAHNEMANN SAYS IN ORGANON Organon aphorism §28:
“As this natural law of cure manifests itself in every pure experiment and every true observation in the world, the fact is consequently established; it matters little what may be the scientific explanation of HOW IT TAKES PLACE; and I do not attach much importance to the attempts made to explain it.”
FOR MOST HOMEOPATHS, quoting Aphorism 28 is the most convenient way of evading hard questions and covering their ignorance about how homeopathy works.
Do you think it is possible for homeopathy to EXIST in a KNOWLEDGE COMMUNITY by declaring ” it matters little what may be the scientific explanation of HOW IT TAKES PLACE”?
Do you think declaring “I do not attach much importance to the attempts made to explain it” is a workable option when some member of scientific-minded society asks you HOW HOMEOPATHY WORKS? Whether WE do or do not attach “much importance” that question, the question always remains live and valid. Homeopaths cannot remain for long burying their heads in sand hoping to hide like an ostrich!
————————————————————————————————–
Hahnemann’s statement was right in that historical context of primitive scientific knowledge. But, if you repeat same thing even after 250 years of scientific advancement, it becomes a grave mistake.
———————————————————————————————
If EVERYTHING said by master were FALSE, there cannot be homeopathy here. Nor EVERYTHING said by him 250 years ago can be RIGHT. Homeopathy is medical science. It should be UPDATED in accordance with the advance of human knowledge. Your statement “sun can rise 7n the west but words of organon cant be proved false” reflects a dogmatic approach. If you mean ALL words, it is ok. PROVING something false is not my intention. I am searching for WHAT IS RIGHT, and what should be preserved and updated in homeopathy.
———————————————————————————————–
One senior homeopath from India says, since potentized drugs contain DYNAMIC drug energy, SIMILIMUM will act CURATIVELY, even if the patient simply holds the DRUG BOTTLE in his hands for a few minutes, without opening it. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
———————————————————————————————-
There a lot of DRUGS marketed by HELIOS, which are PROVED by TRITURATION PROVING, DREAM PROVING and MEDITATION PROVING.
In TRITURATION PROVING, the PROVER simply TRITURATES the drug up to 3c, by which time he is said to produce SYMPTOMS by dynamic effect of drugs he triturated. Those symptoms are collected and compiled as materia medica.
In DREAM PROVING, the drug is kept under the pillow of the prover. Due to the dynamic effects of that drug, prover is said to experience characteristic DREAMS in his sleep, which are immediately recorded.
In MEDITATION PROVING, the prover simply MEDITATES about the drug kept in his hand. In meditation, he experience the symptoms.
If all these things could actually happen, drugs will act by simply holding the bottles in hands. WHY NOT?
———————————————————————————————————–
Dogmatic ‘followers’ of hahnemann believe that potentized drugs contain DYNAMIC DRUG ENERGY, which act ‘dynamically’ up on the ‘vital force’ of organism.
According to hahnemann, DYNAMIC ENERGY is ‘immaterial’, ‘conceptual’, and ‘spirit-like’, which act from a distance, without any carrier particles.
DYNAMIC ENERGY is different from the forms of PHYSICAL ENERGY we study in science. PHYSICAL ENERGY always act through exchange of CARRIER particles, which are forms of matter. LIGHT, ELECTRICITY, MAGNETISM, GRAVITATION, NUCLEAR FORCES- all these physical energies act through exchange of CARRIER PARTICLES.
If we believe in a NON-MATERIAL, SPIRIT-LIKE DYNAMIC DRUG ENERGY, that can act from a DISTACE without any carrier particles, there is nothing wrong in believing that potentized drugs can act from a distance, or by holding bottle in hands. REAL PROBLE LIES IN THE THEORY OF DYNAMIC DRUG ENERGY. If you believe in DYNAMIC DRUG ENERGY and VITAL FORCE, you will have to agree with all these NONSENSE these people talk.
———————————————————————————————————
If you believe potentized drugs carry DYNAMIC ENERGY, how can you imagine it to remain confined inside the bottle only? How can a glass bottle prevent the IMMATERIAL, CONCEPTUAL, SPIRIT-LIKE FORCE from ‘radiating’ out? Why can you say, the ‘energetic’ VIBRATIONS of drugs will remain inside the bottle? Is it not ridiculous to say that a MATERIAL object can block the escape of an IMMATERIAL FORCE?
——————————————————————————————————
SEE HAHNEMANN EXPLAINING HIS CONCEPTS OF ‘DYNAMIC ENERGY’ AND ‘DYNAMIC ACTIONS’ IN ORGANON:
Organon : Aphorism 11 : Sixth Edition: Foot Note:
“What is dynamic influence, – dynamic power? Our earth, by virtue of a hidden invisible energy, carries the moon around her in twenty-eight days and several hours, and the moon alternately, in definite fixed hours (deducting certain differences which occur with the full and new moon) raises our northern seas to flood tide and again correspondingly lowers them to ebb. Apparently this takes place not through material agencies, not through mechanical contrivances, as are used for products of human labor; and so we see numerous other events about us as results of the action of one substance on another substance without being able to recognize a sensible connection between cause and effect. Only the cultured, practised in comparison and deduction, can form for himself a kind of supra-sensual idea sufficient to keep all that is material or mechanical in his thoughts from such concepts. He calls such effects dynamic, virtual, that is, such as result from absolute, specific, pure energy and action of the one substance upon the other substance.
For instance, the dynamic effect of the sick-making influences upon healthy man, as well as the dynamic energy of the medicines upon the principle of life in the restoration of health is nothing else than infection and so not in any way material, not in any way mechanical. Just as the energy of a magnet attracting a piece of iron or steel is not material, not mechanical. One sees that the piece of iron is attracted by one pole of the magnet, but how it is done is not seen. This invisible energy of the magnet does not require mechanical (material) auxiliary means, hook or lever, to attract the iron. The magnet draws to itself and this acts upon the piece of iron or upon a steel needle by means of a purely immaterial invisible, conceptual, inherent energy, that is, dynamically, and communicates to the steel needle the magnetic energy equally invisibly (dynamically). The steel needle becomes itself magnetic, even at a distance when the magnet does not touch it, and magnetises other steel needles with the same magnetic property (dynamically) with which it had been endowered previously by the magnetic rod, just as a child with small-pox or measles communicates to a near, untouched healthy child in an invisible manner (dynamically) the small-pox or measles, that is, infects it at a distance without anything material from the infective child going or capable of going to the one to be infected. A purely specific conceptual influence communicated to the near child small-pox or measles in the same way as the magnet communicated to the near needle the magnetic property.
In a similar way, the effect of medicines upon living man is to be judged. Substances, which are used as medicines, are medicines only in so far as they possess each its own specific energy to alter the well-being of man through dynamic, conceptual influence, by means of the living sensory fibre, upon the conceptual controlling principle of life. The medicinal property of those material substances which we call medicines proper, relates only to their energy to call out alterations in the well-being of animal life. Only upon this conceptual principle of life, depends their medicinal health-altering, conceptual (dynamic) influence. Just as the nearness of a magnetic pole can communicate only magnetic energy to the steel (namely, by a kind of infection) but cannot commu nicate other properties (for instance, more hardness or ductility, etc.). And thus every special medicinal substance alters through a kind of infection, that well-being of man in a peculiar manner exclusively its own and not in a manner peculiar to another medicine, as certainly as the nearness of the child ill with small-pox will communicate to a healthy child only small-pox and not measles. These medicines act upon our well-being wholly without communication of material parts of the medicinal substances, thus dynamically, as if through infection. Far more healing energy is expressed in a case in point by the smallest dose of the best dynamized medicines, in which there can be, according to calculation, only so little of material substance that its minuteness cannot be thought and conceived by the best arithmetical mind, than by large doses of the same medicine in substance. That smallest dose can therefore contain almost entirely only the pure, freely-developed, conceptual medicinal energy, and bring about only dynamically such great effects as can never be reached by the crude medicinal substances itself taken in large doses.
It is not in the corporal atoms of these highly dynamized medicines, nor their physical or mathematical surfaces (with which the higher energies of the dynamized medicines are being interpreted but vainly as still sufficiently material) that the medicinal energy is found. More likely, there lies invisible in the moistened globule or in its solution, an unveiled, liberated, specific, medicinal force contained in the medicinal substance which acts dynamically by contact with the living animal fibre upon the whole organism (without communicating to it anything material however highly attenuated) and acts more strongly the more free and more immaterial the energy has become through the dynamization.
Is it then so utterly impossible for our age celebrated for its wealth in clear thinkers to think of dynamic energy as something non-corporeal, since we see daily phenomena which cannot be explained in any other manner? If one looks upon something nauseous and becomes inclined to vomit, did a material emetic come into his stomach which compels him to this anti-peristaltic movement? Was it not solely the dynamic effect of the nauseating aspect upon his imagination? And if one raises his arm, does it occur through a material visible instrument? a lever? Is it not solely the conceptual dynamic energy of his will which raises it?”
——————————————————————————————————
Explanations hahnemann provide for his concept of DYNAMIC DRUG ENERGY quoted above clearly demonstrate the infantile state of scientific knowledge available to him, obviously due to the limitations of historical context he lived in:
NOTE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS CAREFULLY:
” If one looks upon something nauseous and becomes inclined to vomit, did a material emetic come into his stomach which compels him to this anti-peristaltic movement? Was it not solely the dynamic effect of the nauseating aspect upon his imagination?”
” if one raises his arm, does it occur through a material visible instrument? a lever? Is it not solely the conceptual dynamic energy of his will which raises it?”

“we see numerous other events about us as results of the action of one substance on another substance without being able to recognize a sensible connection between cause and effect”
“dynamic effect of the sick-making influences upon healthy man, as well as the dynamic energy of the medicines upon the principle of life in the restoration of health is nothing else than infection and so not in any way material, not in any way mechanical”
“Just as the energy of a magnet attracting a piece of iron or steel is not material, not mechanical”

“Is it then so utterly impossible for our age celebrated for its wealth in clear thinkers to think of dynamic energy as something non-corporeal, since we see daily phenomena which cannot be explained in any other manner?”
Please note the last sentence carefully:”think of dynamic energy as something non-corporeal, since we see daily phenomena which cannot be explained in any other manner”.
THE TRUTH IS OBVIOUS: HAHNEMANN WAS COMPELLED TO ‘THINK’ ABOUT ‘DYNAMIC ENERGY’, ONLY BECAUSE HE SAW MANY DAILY PHENOMENA WHICH HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN IN “ANY OTHER MANNER”‘
—————————————————————————————————
Please note the last sentence quoted above carefully:”think of dynamic energy as something non-corporeal, since we see daily phenomena which cannot be explained in any other manner”. IT AMOUNTS TO A HUMBLE CONFESSION BY THE MASTER:
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain how limbs are raised at will- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain why people get nauseated by seeing others vomit- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain how measles and chicken pox are transmitted- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain why earth revolves around sun- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain the phenomena of high and low ebbsl- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain how a magnet attracts an iron needle- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain how a steel needle gets magnetized in the vicinity of a magnet – and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain the phenomenon of LIFE – and hence, he explained it using VITAL FORCE and DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain DISEASE and CURE- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain SYMPTOMS and DRUG PROVING- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain how substances get medicinal property- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain how potentization really worksl- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
Hahnemann could not scientifically explain how potentized drugs act- and hence, he explained it using DYNAMIC ENERGY.
THE TRUTH IS OBVIOUS: HAHNEMANN WAS COMPELLED TO ‘THINK’ ABOUT A ‘NON-CORPOREAL’ ‘DYNAMIC ENERGY’, ONLY BECAUSE HE SAW MANY DAILY PHENOMENA WHICH HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN IN “ANY OTHER MANNER”‘

Quoting Aphorism 28 is the most convenient way of evading hard questions and covering our ignorance about how homeopathy works.
Do you think it is possible for homeopathy to EXIST in a KNOWLEDGE COMMUNITY by declaring ” it matters little what may be the scientific explanation of HOW IT TAKES PLACE”?
Do you think declaring “I do not attach much importance to the attempts made to explain it” is a workable option when some member of scientific-minded society asks you HOW HOMEOPATHY WORKS? Whether WE do or do not attach “much importance” that question, the question always remains live and valid. Homeopaths cannot remain for long burying their heads in sand hoping to hide like an ostrich!
——————————————————————————————————
When back in hospital ICU bed after the narrow escape from the jaws of death, the first thing that occupied my thoughts was Molecular Imprints Therapeutics. I badly wanted to live a few more years to complete my work, and get my concepts accepted by homeopathic as well as scientific communities, as the scientific explanation of homeopathy. Once I succeed in it, I am sure, homeopathy will be celebrated as an advanced higher branch of modern scientific molecular medicine. That is my greatest ambition, which makes my life worth living. That will be my greatest contribution to humanity. Its fulfillment will enable me to leave a mark here for the coming generations, and prove that my innings was not a waste.

It was a very very narrow escape. It was a calm, happy week-end evening, playing with my sweet grand children in my village home, 30 kms away from Kannur city. The havoc struck me suddenly at 9PM, as a violent mid-sternal pain radiating to back, accompanied by excessive perspiration and sinking sensation. My son who was watching me, sensed danger and dragged me into car and started without wasting a minute. My brother-in-law living in next house rushed in and took over the wheels. Contrary to normal week-end evenings, the road was traffic-free for us. I was put in a half-conscious state on the CATHLAB table at Koyili Hospital by 20 minutes ride. Cardiologist was ready. I was in the ICU bed by 70 minutes, finishing the angiolasty procedures.
Doctor told me while discharging: “You are lucky. Everything were in place for you. Had you arrived a few minutes later, a return to life would have been almost impossible”.
Now I realize, the dividing line between LIFE and DEATH is very very narrow than we think. Thanks everybody, who dragged me back from death, and made my beautiful life on this earth a little more longer.

I AM BACK! THANKS EVERY BODY, FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND GOOD WISHES!
I never expected a heart attack. No cholesterol, No triglycerides, No high blood pressure, No high blood sugar, No tobacco, No alcohol- I thought I am in the safe zone!

Homeopathy cannot be, and should not be ignored, because it WORKS. Scientific community ignores homeopathy only because homeopaths present homeopathy in most unscientific terms, contradicting all the proven basic principles of SCIENCE.
—————————————————————————————————-
MY LATEST TWEETS:
SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR is the most perfect way of identifying molecular errors, as well as selecting target specific therapeutic agents.
It will take another century for modern science to evolve a way of identifying molecular pathologies better than SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR.
Hahnemann FAILED to explain the SCIENCE of homeopathy. His followers added much nonsense into it. And the scientific community IGNORED it!.
Once you study Molecular Imprinting Technology, you can realize how the ‘shape ‘ of a molecule could be imprinted on a supramolecular matrix.
Once you study the ‘polymer-like’ supramolecular properties of WATER, you realize how it could be used as a medium for Molecular Imprinting.
Once you understand Molecular Imprinting in Water, you would realize how homeopathic medicine act without any single drug molecule in it.
Once you understand Molecular Imprints as ‘artificial binding sites’ for ‘similar’ molecules, you realize molecular mechanism of homeopathy.
Once you understand potentization as molecular imprinting, you perceive potentized drugs as molecular imprints of INDIVIDUAL drug molecules.
Once you perceive potentized drugs in terms of DIFFERENT CONSTITUENT molecular imprints , confusions over SINGLE-MULTIPLE drugs get resolved.
Most SINGLE DRUGS are not really SINGLE. INDIVIDUAL constituent molecules of a DRUG act on biological molecules as seperate INDIVIDUAL UNITS.
Èven a SINGLE DRUG in potentized form contains diverse types of MOLECULAR IMPRINTS representing diverse types of MOLECULES IN DRUG SUBSTANCE.
Homeopathy can CURE only dseases arising from bio-molecular inhibitions caused by binding of endogenous or endogenous pathogenic molecules.
Homeopathy can CURE only those diseases that arise from bio-molecular inhibitions caused by endogenous or exogenous pathogenic molecules.
Molecular imprints of drug molecules act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathogenic molecules with shapes SIMILAR to those drug molecules.
Pathogenic molecules and drug molecules with SIMILAR functional groups or moieties can bind to SIMILAR targets, and produce SIMILAR errors.
Similarity of symptoms means, similarity of functional groups of drug molecule and pathogenic molecule- similarity of molecular inhibitions.
Molecular imprints of drug molecules having SIMILAR functional groups can deactivate pathogenic molecules having SIMILAR functional groups.
SIMILAR bio-molecular inhibitions produced by SIMILAR pathogenic molecules or drug molecules are expressed through SIMILAR symptom groups.

@Dana Ulman: You never answers my question, because you “do not believe that there are simple or single answers” to my questions. But I believe, there ‘should’ be ‘simple and single’ answers to fundamental questions.
You said, I am ” not worthy of “your time and attention”. Thank you for coming to the page of this worthless person, and make all these ‘worthy’ comments. This ‘worthless’ being is blessed by your ‘worthy’ presence.
I know there are are GOOD REASONS “that so many people appreciate” your work. It is very simple- you “prefer to report on multiple explanations”. You ‘support’ every conflicting and contradicting theories, and ‘report’ them. You never commit to any idea or theory. You ‘support’ even the most absurd theories and practices such as hair transmission, photo transmission, mp3 transmissions, telephone transmissions, sensation method, kingdom method, predictive, resonance, radionics, dowsing, mesmerism- every occult arts done in the name of homeopathy. You ‘support’ ghost molecule theory of luc monatigner, same time ‘supporting’ nanoparticle theory of iit-b scientists. You play a great circus, really. For you, all of them belong to your ‘homeopathic fraternity’! AS SUCH , ‘VAST MAJORITY’ OF HOMEOPATHIC COMMUNITY WILL OBVIOUSLY SUPPORT YOU.
I know, there are GOOD REASONS for my “work are ignored by the vast majority of our community”. My thinking, my ideas does not agree with the ‘energy medicine’ theories and practices of ‘vast majority’ of homeopathic community. I never support any thing that does not agree with scientific knowledge system, to enhance my ‘support’ base. I persistently try to expose unscientific and occult like practices in homeopathy, there by more and more reducing the number of ‘supporters’ to my concepts.
But, future of homeopathy lies in the hands of those ‘limited minority’ who understand, support, and promote my scientific concepts of homeopathy. There are ample examples in history that prove it is not the number of supporters that decide the final victory of TRUTH!
——————————————————————————–
Some of my friends accuse me of ‘over-simplifying’ homeopathy. They accuse that I am trying to give ‘simple/single’ answers to ‘complex’ questions involved in homeopathy. I don’t know why they want homeopathy to remain an unresolved mystery for ever. According to MIT concepts, homeopathy is very simple- there are ‘simple and single’ answers to ALL fundamental questions of homeopathy.
——————————————————————-
If I am right, I need not worry about ‘going global. ‘Global’ will come to me, wherever I am- even on facebook. I dont think my reach is limited. I publish my articles on my website http://dialecticalhomeopathy.com/ on a regular basis. My articles on MIT concepts were so far read by more than 25000 people. That means there are ‘somebody’ who ‘care’ for what I am saying and doing. There are a lot of ‘authenticated’ and ‘peer reviewed’ articles about homeopathy which are actually nothing but pure rubbish theories, which shows ‘getting authenticated’ is not the final proof for truth. Let us wait and see how things are going to evolve.
————————————————————————–
One follower of Sankaran’s ‘Sensation Method’ today told me, he cured a patient by prescribing potentized ‘Indian Parrot’ based on his ‘vital sensation’ of ‘caged feeling’.
My question to this friend was, whether we can also use potentized ‘broiler chicken’ or ‘caged dog’ for such a ‘vital sensation of caged feeling’?
When using ‘Indian Parrot’ , should we ensure it is not a ‘wild’ parrot flying free in the woods, as they will not have ‘caged feeling’?
My friend disappeared without responding to my queries. Would any follower of ‘sensation method’ come forward and help me resolve my confusion on this point?
——————————————————————————
A term we frequently encounter in homeopathic literature as well as discussions is DRUG ENERGY. According to scientific understanding of ‘matter’ and ‘energy’, there cannot exist such a thing called ‘drug energy’. We should say ‘drug substance’. By ‘drug substance’, we mean forms of material substances that could be used as ‘medicinal agents’, which consist of ‘single’ or ‘multiple’ types of individual molecules having specific structures and shapes, and having specific physical and chemical properties. When introduced into a biological organism as part of drug proving protocol, these ‘individual’ molecules contained in the drug substance binds to different biological molecules in capacity of their affinities determined by their shapes, structures and electrical charges. Different molecules contained in same drug substance may bind to different biological targets, inhibiting their normal biochemical actions, thereby producing deviations in biochemical processes which are expressed through specific groups mental and physical ‘symptoms’.
It is also wrong to say ‘medicinal energy is transferred to medium’ during potentization. During potentization, only the ‘shape’ of individual drug molecules are ‘imprinted’ into the supramolecular matrix of water and ethyl alcohol, as three-dimensional ‘nanocavities’ having ‘complementary’ or ‘negative’ shapes, which we call ‘molecular imprints’. Due to complementary configuration, these nanocavities can act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathological molecules having shapes ‘similar’ to those of imprinted molecules, thereby producing a therapeutic agents when used as ‘similimum’. Obviously, it is not any mysterious ‘drug energy’, but the ‘shape’ of nanocavities that give potentized drugs specific medicinal properties they exhibit.
Once you start perceiving drug substances in terms of their ‘constituent’ molecules, and potentized drugs in terms of independent ‘molecular imprints’ of ‘individual’ drug molecules, you will experience a fundamental change in your whole approach to homeopathic theory and practice. You will see most of our existing ‘beliefs’ and ‘laws’ vanishing spontaneously. Questions regarding selection of potencies, single/multiple drugs, drug relationships, second prescriptions, fear of suppression, miasmatic analysis, and many other issues that confuse young homeopaths simply fade away in the light of this rational scientific approach. Collecting ‘complete’ symptoms of the patient, finding similimum that contain all the required molecular imprints, administering them in potencies just above 12c, and repeating doses appropriately until cure is ensured- homeopathy is so simple and straight forward. No scope for confusions once you understand MIT!
There are already many imaginative and ‘scientific’ ‘theories’ going around that seek to explain everything about homeopathy but fail to predict or offer anything of relevance. If a hypothesis fails to predict some relevant practical outcomes, then it becomes scientifically untestable and, therefore, unusable in practice.Assumptions being proposed by a scientific hypothesis should be simple, tes
A question frequently asked by homeopaths is, whether potentized homeopathic medicines can CURE ‘genetic disorders’.
A ‘genetic disorder’ is an illness caused by abnormalities in genes or chromosomes, especially a condition that is present from before birth. Most genetic disorders are quite rare and affect one person in every several thousands or millions.
A ‘genetic disorder’ may or may not be a heritable disorder. Some genetic disorders are passed down from the parents’ genes, but others are always or almost always caused by new mutations or changes to the DNA. In other cases, the same disease, such as some forms of cancer, may be caused by an inherited genetic condition in some people, by new mutations in other people, and by nongenetic causes in still other people.
Diseases arising from ‘inherited’ genetic abnormalities cannot be CURED by homeopathy.
Diseases caused by ‘ new mutations or changes to the DNA’ could be ‘prevented’, cured, or at least ‘relieved’ by homeopathic treatment.
In any genetic disorders, there would be a cascading of molecular errors, which are caused by the absence of abnormality of some essential proteins or enzymes. Secondary diseases arising from such cascading actions resulting from genetic disorders could be treated by homeopathy, even though the basic abnormality of genes will remain untouched by such a treatment. We can say, we cannot CURE genetic disorders, but can give relief to many complaints associated with such disorders.
—————————————————————————
Most homeopaths have a lot of misunderstandings regarding what they call ‘body-mind relationship’. This confusion actually arises from viewing ‘mind’ and ‘body’ as different independent entities- or their dichotomy. According to scientific view, mind is integral part of our body, not alien to it- a product of chemical processes happening in a particular part of body (central nervous system). There is no mind without underlying ‘material’ chemical processes, or ‘body’.
—————————————————————————-
Every part of body -including mind- can influence each other, through chemical biological signalling pathways. Mind faculty of body also can influence ‘other’ faculties of body.
What we call ‘auto suggestion’ is nothing ‘immaterial’- it involves some complex chemical processes in brain, which activates endocrine system and biological signalling systems such as cytokines, which in turn affects other organs of body. It is this phenomenon that we call ‘influence of mind over body’. Nobody can do ‘auto suggestion’ without using brain, which is part of body What we call ’emotions’ and ‘moods’ are actually the effects of chemical processes in brain. Drug substances and nutrients can influence our moods and emotions through material level chemical interactions. Mind being the product of biochemical processes happening in central nervous system, nothing can influence our mind without the mediation or involvement of ‘matter’ in any form. Our sense organs convey sounds, smell, taste, touch, vision and other ‘material’ signals from environment to brain in the forms of chemical molecules and ion potentials. Spoken words and reading are actually part of second signalling systems involving the mediation of light and sound. Nobody can influence MIND ‘dynamically’, without a material means that invoke chemical processes in brain.

In the PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION of ORGANON, Dr Hahnemann made the following statement:
“In this third edition I have not refrained from making any alterations and emendations suggested by increased knowledge and necessitated by further experience.”
This statement is a fitting answer to those ‘dogmatic’ homeopaths who argue nothing could be changed or updated in homeopathy.
Hahenemann advises us not to “refrain” from making “alterations and emendations”, if “suggested by increased knowledge and necessitated by further experience.”
—————————————————————————
It is wrong to say “homeopathy uses minute doses of drug substances”, since there cannot be even a single drug molecule present in dilutions above 12c. Something ‘absent’ cannot be called ‘minute’ or ‘nano’- it is ‘nil’. To be right, you have to say “homeopathy uses molecular imprints of drug molecules”. Dear homeopath, by hesitating to explain homeopathy in terms of ‘molecular imprints’, you are actually committing a grave mistake.

Dr. Prabhat Bhattacheryay , Professor & H.O.D. in the Dept. of Organon of Medicine in Burdwan Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, A P.G.Guide., U.G. & P.G. examiner of several universities, author of several books in homoeopathy, commented on my post on our discussion group as follows:
“Increased knowledge & experience of Hahnemann made drastic change in sixth edition. He has departed from
In his eagerness to defend and ‘utilize’ his most cherished ‘nanopharmacology’ concept, respected Dana Ullman now gives a new twist to nanoparticle theory of IIT scientists. He says:
“It doesn’t necessarily assert that it is the nanoparticles that have ALL of the impact. It could also mean that the nanoparticles change the entire sovent (the water medium)”
This is really a new contribution from dana ulman to nanoparticle theory. But it makes the whole puzzle more mysterious and complex, which is the actual intention of dana. By this statement, he is trying to utilize the ‘nanoparticle theory for justifying the most pseudoscientific ‘energy medicine theories’ in homeopathy’, of which he is a prominent proponent along with his CAM counterparts.
He is going to say, nanoparticles are not the real active principles of potentized drugs that makes “all impacts”, but they ‘change the whole solvent’ by inducing it to ‘vibrate’ exactly similar to ‘vibrations of drug substance’, and that these ‘immaterial dynamic vibrations’ are the active principles of potentized drugs! He would also say, these ‘vibrations’ will act upon ‘vital force’ in a ‘dynamic way’ by ‘resonance’ and produce cure!
SEE how cleverly the ‘energy medicine’ proponents twist and convert the nanoparticle theory proposed by IIT scientists in a way fitting to their pseudoscientific ‘dynamic energy- vibration-resonance-vital force’ frame work!!
Now tt is very much obvious that dana ulmann and his ‘energy medicine’ friends are ‘supporting’ nanoparticle theory not to rationally resolve the riddles of homeopathy and make it more scientific, but hoping to utilize it to provide a ‘scientific’ glare to their nonsense ‘vibration’ theories.
———————————————————————————
@Dana Ullman: Sir, you are trying to teach me ” importance of humility”. But, do you think humility and respect are one sided affairs? It was YOU, who broke all limits of gentleman behavior in your very first comment on my post, by commanding me to STOP making posts- hope you verify it.
I have raised a lot of hard questions regarding IIT study, nanoparticle theory, energy medicine and such things here, all of which you conveniently ignored. You wanted to turn this discussion into a personal fight, and declare me ” strange, cruel, and insecure soul who tries to seem smart by attacking others”. I am not ‘attacking’ dana ullman as a person- but trying expose the hollowness of your pseudoscientific energy medicine theories about homeopathy. Anyhow, it is obvious that you are not intersted in a meaningful dialogue. SO, GOODBYE
————————————————————————
IIT-B scientists say they could detect ‘traces’ of nanoparticles of starting materials ‘floating in the upper layers’ of potentized drugs. If those ‘traces’ of nanoparticles ‘floating in upper layers’ were the active principles of potentized drugs, how can we explain the fact that each and every drops or fractions of drops of our drugs produce therapeutic effect? Can anybody say, only ‘upper layers’ of potentized drugs are medicinally active? How can you call something present in each and every minute fractions of our drugs as ‘traces’? I hope somebody enthusiastically promoting nanoparticle theory of homeopathy would come forward to answer these simple questions, please…
——————————————————————————-
Somebody if not crazy, with at least a high school level knowledge of scientific principles regarding maximum number of molecules that could be contained in a given quantity of any substance, will not even imagine about the possibility of ‘drug particles’ remaining in high dilutions such as 30c, 200c, 1m and more.
————————————————————————-
Please dont forget, number of molecules that could be present in a given quantity of substance is fixed ( decided by avogadro number) . How could you imagine drug molecules to be present in ‘each and every fraction’ of a preparation diluted millions of times above avogadro limit? Would you say, drug molecules ‘multiply’ in number during potentization? Can we be that much crazy?
——————————————————————————-
Sir, while saying IIT study ” found nanoparticles in SIX of the SIX homeopathic medicines tested…and at the 200C potency”, did you see their another statement that “there is no difference between 30c and 200c”? What is your learned comment on that wonderful observation? Would you agree with their observation that all potencies above 30c are similar?
Sir, how can “traces” of nanoparticles “floating in upper layer” ” change the entire sovent (the water medium)” as you imagine? Any idea about its possible molecular mechanism?
Sir, you said IIT team ” found nanoparticles in SIX of the SIX homeopathic medicines tested”. Did you ever think why they used only ‘elemental drugs’ for their study? Do you expect ‘nanoparticles of biological molecules’ if the study was done using drugs of complex structure such as animal or vegetable drugs?
———————————————————————————–
Sir, while addressing the issue of ‘repetition of doses’, we have answer three fundamental questions first:
1. What actually happens during potentization?
2. What are the active principles of potentized drugs?
3. What is the exact molecular level biological mechanism by which the active principles act up on the organism and produce a therapeutic effect?
In the absence of rational and scientific answers to these questions, we will be talking only speculative interpretations based on purely subjective ‘personal experiences’
If you are addressing this issue from ‘classical’ view of ‘dynamic drug energy’ getting ‘transferred’ to medium by potentization, and this ‘dynamic energy’ acting upon ‘deranged vital force’ to correct it and induce it to cure the disease, we cannot have an answer fitting to modern scientific models of therapeutics.
I am trying to address the issue of ‘repetition’ on the basis of MIT concepts which explains potentization in terms of ‘molecular imprinting’, active principles of potentized drugs in terms of molecular imprints of individual drug molecules, and homeopathic therapeutics in terms of removal of molecular inhibitions, in a way fitting to modern scientific knowledge.
If you cannot understand or agree with MIT concept I am proposing, we are bound to disagree on the issue of ‘repetition of doses’ also.

It is the ‘private property/profit interests’ of influential people among homeopathic community that obstructs any new scientific advancement of homeopathy. They have vested interests in present theories, present methods and present state of affairs, which is well under their control, which they market profitably. They want to maintain status co. They realize, once the MIT concepts are accepted, syllabuses and curriculum of homeopathic courses will have to be remodeled, most of their ‘authoritative’ books will have to be withdrawn from market, their seminar businesses will have to be closed down, manufacturing and marketing of mother tinctures, triturations, mixtures and patented drugs will have to be stopped. No wonder why profit-motivated people fear MIT and desperately want to defeat it.Marx rightly said, “Capitalism is interested in science only if it helps to increase their profit”
While hoping to get official recognition and support for research on MIT concepts, we should not under estimate the powerful influence those pressure groups of diverse colors with vested interests can exert in higher echelons and decision making bodies of homeopathy in India.

Success in homeopathic practice depends up on physician’s skills to collect ‘complete symptoms’ that would indicate most appropriate similimum.
First of all, we should be capable of differentiating between ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ symptoms.
‘Normal’ symptoms are those which represent ‘normal’ physiological processes in organism, which have no role in determining a similimum. Normal thirst, norm

A section of Homeopaths accuse me of being a SKEPTIC AGENT working with ulterior motives AGAINST homeopathy. Anti-homeopathic skeptics attack me accusing I am trying to DIGNIFY QUACKERY USING SCIENTIFIC PARADIGMS. Actually, I am a SKEPTIC HOMEOPATH, destined to fight against ‘Anti-Homeopathic Skeptics’ on one side, and ‘Unscientific Homeopaths’ on the other side. I know it is a tough and lonely fight. But I am going to be the final winner. Wait and see!
——————————————————————–
Skeptics think homeopathy will be ‘finished’ by laughing off ‘Homeopathy is Magic Water’. Actually, it is a ‘skeptic cliche’ that exposes their vanity and ignorance of ‘Molecular Imprinting in Water’.
————————————————————————-
I suspect an anti-homeopathy conspiracy brewing behind the ‘research’ and the orchestrated media hype that followed over ‘nanoparticle theory’ about homeopathy. My suspicion is based the fact that this theory is pregnant with that much dangers for homeopathy, but propagated as if it is a sincere endeavor to make homeopathy more ‘scientific’. I don’t think these scientists and corporate media have over night fallen in love with homeopathy. Excuse me, if my concerns are wrong.

If it is accepted true that homeopathic drugs contain nanoparticles of metallic elements as IIT team claims to have proved, we will have to address nanotoxicity concerns regarding homeopathic drugs in near future.

A section of homeopaths believe that homeopathy becomes more ‘scientific’ by saying our drugs are nanoparticles. Homeopathy community seems to be totally unaware of the dangers involved in propagating the nanoparticle theory of homeopathy p
Many homeopaths believe in philosophy of ‘idealism’, according to which, ‘material body is the product of mind’- which means, mind is primary, and body is secondary. Vitalism, dynamism, spiritualism etc are part of this idealist philosophy. As per this approach, disease is produced by mind, and cured by mind. Treatment is primarily aimed at curing mind, which will then cure the body. Drugs act upon mind by dynamic energy- not materially.
As per scientific world outlook, ‘mind is the product of material body’, or, the product of complex molecular interactions happening in central nervous system. In turn, ‘mind can influence body’ by material means. Environmental factors, food, drugs etc can influence mind by producing changes in molecular processes that underlie mind. Diseases are produced by molecular level errors in vital processes. Mind ‘reflects’ the state of affairs existing in material level in the organism, and as such, mental symptoms of diseases are reliable minute ‘indicators’ of molecular level pathology, and help us in identifying exact pathology and selecting appropriate remedial agents . Scientific medicine is based on this approach.
To be a rational and scientific homeopath and a ‘physician’ in its true sense, one has to understand the difference between these two opposite approaches, and accept the scientific world outlook.

What we call ’emotions’ and ‘moods’ are actually the effects of chemical processes in brain.

Our sense organs convey sounds, smell, taste, touch, vision and other ‘material’ signals from environment to brain in the forms of chemical molecules and ion potentials.

Nobody can influence MIND ‘dynamically’, without a material means that invoke chemical processes in brain.
—————————————————————————
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THERAPEUTIC ACTIONS OF MOLECULAR FORMS ( MOTHER TINCTURES AND LOW POTENCIES) AND MOLECULAR IMPRINTS FORMS (POTENCIES ABOVE 12c) OF SIMILIMUM:
Molecular forms of drugs (Crude and Low potencies) can act ‘homeopathically’, but the molecular mechanism of action is different from that of similimum in ‘molecular imprints’ forms (potencies above avogadro limit).
SIMILIMUM means a drug having molecules with functional moieties similar to those of pathogenic molecules. When similimum is used in molecular forms, they can ‘compete’ with pathogenic molecules in binding to biological targets. In biochemical interactions, such a competitive relationship leads to freeing of biological molecules from pathological inhibitions. It is liketwo identical keys trying to enter same key hole, which prevents both keys from entering the keyhole.
Molecular imprints of ‘similimum’ are ‘artificial key holes’ that have special affinity to the pathogenic molecules, which consists of ‘molecular key’, which are actually ‘fake keys’ trying to mimic natural ligands which are ‘original keys’, and biological targets are their ‘natural key holes’. Artificial key holes of molecular imprints bind to the pathogenic molecules due to configurational affinity, thereby relieving biological molecules from pathological inhibitions. This is the exact molecular mechanism of homeopathic cure produced by potentized drugs.
It is obvious that both molecular forms and molecular imprints forms of similimum can produce homeopathic cure, even though by fundamentally different molecular mechanisms. The draw back of using molecular forms of similimum is that being molecules, they can bind to unexpected biological targets, producing new inhibitions and pathologies, which we call side effects or unwanted effects. When using molecular imprints forms of similimum, they can bind only to pathogenic molecules having affinity, and cannot produce any new molecular inhibitions, as they consist of only water and ethyl alcohol molecules. That means, using similimum in crude forms and low potencies can have dangerous consequences exactly similar to allopathic drugs, where as using similimum in potentized forms above avogadro limit is completely safe.

I cannot tolerate ‘energy medicine’ concepts that discredit homeopathy, and prevent it from becoming a medical science. These energy medicine theories provide ammunition to skeptics for attacking homeopathy. Without discarding ‘vital force’ and ‘dynamic energy’, you cannot expect homeopathy to be accepted as part of modern science. I consider ‘energy medicine’ is doing more harm to homeopathy than all skeptics do. MIT explains homeopathy in most scientific terms, without any involvement of vital force. I hate those who try to drag in ‘vital force’ during my discussion of scientific homeopathy. I have no doubt, discussing ‘energy medicine’ and ‘vital force’ in homeopathy is UTTER NONSENSE- whether anybody like my words or not.
——————————————————–
When asking to ‘discard’ vital force concepts from the theoretical system of homeopathy, I am not asking you to discard your religious beliefs, which may include god, vital force, dynamism, spirituality, metaphysical, non-material and such things from your individual belief system and world outlook. I am only asking you not to mix up such beliefs while discussing medical science, or the molecular mechanism of drug action. Most modern physicians also have such personal beliefs. But they never drag such beliefs into a discussion about topics such as how an antibiotic acts. Most great scientists believes in god, but they will not mix up god with the specific scientific topic they are dealing with. No scientist- even if he is strongly religious-, will not mix up vital force with biochemistry. Homeopaths should also learn to separate science and personal philosophy. You can have any personal philosophy and beliefs. But, when discussing homeopathy, discuss it as a science, during scientific paradigms. Avoid all religious and philosophical paradigms from homeopathy. Then only homeopathy will become a true medical science. Hope I have made my point clear.
————————————————————-
Homeopathic cure is an objective phenomenon existing in nature which the genius of hahnemann rightly observed. But due to historical limitations of scientific knowledge available during his period, he explained it using most unscientific concepts and theories such as ‘vital force’ and ‘dynamic drug energy’. Human knowledge has made great strides during last two centuries, and we are now in a position to explain homeopathy in more rational and scientific terms. We have to honor our ‘great master’ by updating homeopathy and making it capable of keeping abreast with modern scientific knowledge system, if we are his ‘real followers’.
——————————————————————
I want to rebuild homeopathy on a scientific foundation, which is impossible without demolishing- at least, disturbing- existing structure.
—————————————————————-
My scientific explanation of homeopathy could be abstracted as follows:
“Homeopathy is a therapeutic method of curing diseases by using ‘molecular imprints’ of drug substances, which in ‘molecular forms’ could produce ‘symptoms’ similar to those presented by the patient. ‘Similarity’ of drug symptoms and disease symptoms indicate that the drug molecules and pathogenic molecules have ‘similar’ functional groups, by which they could bind to ‘similar’ biological molecules, produce ‘similar’ molecular inhibitions that caused ‘similar’ molecular pathology which are expressed through ‘similar’ subjective and objective ‘symptoms’. Molecular imprints of ‘similar’ drug molecules can act as artificial binding sites for ‘similar’ pathogenic molecules due to complementary configurational affinity, thereby deactivating them and relieving the biological molecules from pathological inhibitions, which amounts to ‘cure’. This the scientific meaning of Similia Similibus Curentur.”
This explanation has to be proved according to scientific methods, to make homeopathy a legitimate medical science.

I am a SKEPTIC HOMEOPATH, exploring science behind homeopathy. Asking ‘what-why-how’ of everything
———————————————————————-
Skepticism is generally any questioning attitude towards knowledge, facts, or opinions/beliefs stated as facts, or doubt regarding claims that are taken for granted elsewhere. A skeptic inquires about ‘what-why-how’ of every claims and beliefs before accepting them as truth. He would be rational and logical in his thinking. A genuine skeptic is not a ‘denialist’, but one who explores truths hidden behind phenomena. I am a SKEPTIC HOMEOPATH, who accepts nothing only because it is said by some ‘masters’, but want to explore the scientific truth behind homeopathy.

Molecular imprinting involved in potentization is a bio-friendly adaptation of of principle of Molecular Imprinting In Polymers –
The technique of molecular imprinting allows for the preparation of synthetic polymers with specific binding sites for a target molecule. This can be achieved if the target is present during the polymerization process, thus acting as a molecular template. Monomers carrying certain functional groups are arranged around the template through either noncovalent or covalent interactions. Following polymerization with a high degree of cross-linking, the functional groups become fixed in defined positions by the polymer network. Subsequent removal of the template by solvent extraction or chemical cleavage leaves cavities that are complementary to the template in terms of size, shape and arrangement of the functional groups. These highly specific receptor sites are capable of rebinding the target molecule with high specificity, sometimes comparable to that of antibodies. Molecularly imprinted polymers have therefore been named “antibody mimics”. It has been shown that they can be substituted for biological receptors in certain formats of immunoassays and biosensors. They are characterized by high stability.
Target molecules for which we want to prepare ‘artificial binding sites’ or ‘molecular imprints’, which are normally large complex protein molecules, are identified and selected as ‘template molecules. These template molecules are added to a mixture of ‘monomers’ and ‘activators’ and thoroughly mixed. This mixture is allowed to undergo a process of ‘self assembling’ and ‘polymerization’, which is actually a ‘guest-host’ molecular complex, in which the template molecules are trapped in a hardened polymer matrix which act as ‘host’. This ‘host-guest’ complex is pulverized, and subjected to a process of ‘solvent extraction’, by which soluble template molecules are remove from insoluble polymer matrix. The resultant preparation consists of polymer matrix carrying empty spaces or ‘cavities’ where the template molecules were originally trapped. These cavities are called ‘molecular imprints’, which actually mimic the spacial configuration of template molecules. Due to this complementary configuration, these ‘molecular imprints’ exhibit a special affinity towards original template molecules, and act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for them. Due to this special affinity, they could be used as substitutes for biological receptors in certain formats of immunoassays and bio-sensors.
Since ‘molecular imprinted polymers’ prepared by this process are synthetic polymers, they cannot be used as drugs. Homeopathy uses water-ethyl alcohol mixture as ‘host’ in place of polymers, and drug molecules as ‘templates’ or ‘guests’ for preparing molecular imprints that could be used as drugs. Since molecular imprints prepared by this process consist of only water and ethyl alcohol molecules, they could be safely used as therapeutic agents.
It is obvious that homeopathic potentization is actually a biofriendly adaptation of molecular imprinting originally done in polymers.

Genuine scientist inquires truth behind unknown phenomena. Skeptic ‘attacks’ everything unknown to him. That much difference between them
Dear skeptic, phenomenon of ‘gravitation’ is not yet well explained- but would you ‘attack’ gravity, and say that ‘gravity’ does not exist?
Skeptic, you may ‘attack’ those unscientific theories of homeopathy, but from the ‘premise’ that ‘homeopathic cure’ is an objective truth.
Somebody’s pathological ‘skeptic’ ignorance regarding homeopathy cannot be considered an evidence against homeopathy
Ernst categorizes “homoeopathy, acupuncture and reflexology” into same group, proving his utter ignorance of homeopathy
To accuse homeopathy a “faith-based medicine” and then attack it from that angle- it is a common game plan of skeptics
“Faith-based medicine”? Whose faith? Physician’s or patient’s? Faith will not cure in homeopathy, if the physician prescribed a wrong drug
If it were ‘faith’ that is the healing factor, any of the homeo drugs could have cured every patients having ‘faith’
What about new-borns and infants? Do you think ‘faith’ or ‘placebo’ will work on them? To say so is utterly ridiculous
Had you seen an infant persistently crying for days together in spite of using every allopathic drugs, getting calmed down within minutes by a dose of chamomilla 30 single dose, you would never say homeopathy is ‘faith-based’ medicine or placebo.
What about livestock getting cured by homeopathic drugs? Is also ‘faith’ that cures them? I have been working as a veterinary professional for years, in government-owned cattle farms, piggeries and poultry farms. I have seen thousands of cases of pigs cured of violent diarrhea with ars alb 30, devastating coccidiosis in poultry cured by merc cor 30, even gangrenous mastitis cured by phytolacca 30 and conium 30, which I am sure, no sane persons can say are ‘faith-cures’.
Ernst’s comments proves he ‘got trained in homeopathy’ under some unscientific ‘energy medicine’ CAM homeopaths
The ‘training’ Ernst got was obviously of an unscientific mode, which made his homeopathic career an utter disaster, ending in skeptic pit
It is obvious that Ernst was misguided by his training under ‘energy medicine’ teachers, and failed to approach homeopathy in scientific rational perspective
If you are not really biased and prejudiced against homeopathy, kindly look around. You can see hundreds of genuine homeopathic cures
For skeptics, science is a finished product. They think they already know everything. If anything they do not know, it simply do not exist!
‘Academics’ who lack scientific approach towards science and phenomena become skeptics, and ‘attacks’ everything they fail to understand
‘Academics’ having really scientific approach towards science and phenomena explores truth involved in phenomena they do not already know
Dear skeptic, if you are genuine ‘academics’, confine to your academic works. Stop maligning medical systems and physicians you do not like
————————————————————————
Genuine science is all about inquiring truth about unknown phenomena in this universe- not ‘attacking’ phenomena that could not be yet explained. Phenomenon of ‘gravitation’ is not well explained- but would you ‘attack’ gravity, and say that ‘gravity’ does not exist?
Homeopathy is not well explained. People talk different nonsense things about. In spite of all nonsense theories, phenomenon of ‘homeopathic cure’ exists as an objective truth, same way as ‘gravity’ exists. If you are a scientist, you can ‘attack’ those unscientific theories going around about’ homeopathy, but from the premise that ‘homeopathic cure’ is an objective truth.

Dear skeptic, do not be under the foolish notion that homeopaths are uneducated, uncivilized people, and less knowledgeable than you.
A homeopath in In India is a well educated physician. BHMS is a five and half year regular degree course, with one year rigorous internship.
Did you know, only toppers in entrance exams conducted after 12 years of schooling in science streams are admitted to BHMS course in India?
Curriculum of BHMS course constitutes Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Practice of Medicine and all subjects of modern health care science
Homeopathic education, research and practice in India.is controlled by Central Council of Homeopathy constituted as per a Parliamentary Act.
Homeopathy is a very important wing of public health care system in in India, and govt runs over 6000 dispensaries and about 250 hospitals
Did you know India is home to around 285,000 registered homeopaths, and 186 prestigious homeopathic colleges imparting UG and PG courses?
Many respected members of scientific community also use homeopathic medicines, well aware it is not ‘proven according to scientific methods.
Had you ever consulted a good homeopath and got treated for any illness, you would have stopped making demeaning comment against homeopathy
Visit any homeopathic clinic in any city in India, you would realize many people of well-educated and elite class also consult homeopaths.
Through long life experience, most people of India are convinced about effectiveness of homeopathy in treating a wide range of illnesses,
In India, even during sporadic and epidemic conditions, people tend to use homoeopathic drugs very effectively for prevention and treatment
Govt of India successfully ran a national health campaign ‘Homeopathy for a Healthy Mother & a Happy Child’, based on homeopathy.
Homoeopathic doctors provide treatment to millions of patients for different day-to-day illnesses through public health care system in India

I propose to call homeopathy as NEW medicine (Not Explained, but Working). Means homeopathy works, but not yet explained scientifically. It also means it does not belong CAM, where all sorts of unscientific and occult ‘healing practices’ throng.
Medicines are of TWO types: 1. Scientifically explained and verified 2. Not scientifically verified or explained- but working in experience (NEW). Homeopathy belongs to the second type.
I hate homeopathy being called as CAM. All sorts of nonsense and occult practice throng under that umbrella, and being considered one among them is a grave injustice and insult to the great, rational therapeutic system of homeopathy. Tell the world- homeopathy is not CAM.
The term NEW will help to make that difference obvious.

Whether we know it or not, TRUTH is there. Your level of knowledge is not the criterion that decides truth and fake.
Theories only explain phenomena, which are objective truths. If theories are wrong, change them- do not deny phenomena.
Edzard Ernst says: “We should start from the premise that homeopathy cannot work”. He ‘starts’ from a ‘conclusion’, It is not ‘scientific method’.
Edzard Ernst fears: “if homeopathy is correct, much of physics, chemistry, and pharmacology must be incorrect”. SUCH A FEAR IS UNFOUNDED
@EdzardErnst: Sir, you failed as a homeopath, and then turned a skeptic. Your failure is only your failure- it does not disprove homeopathy@EdzardErnst: There are many unexplained phenomena around. If they are objective TRUTH, will be gradually proved, as our knowledge advancesErnst turned skeptic after he failed as a homeopath. All proverbial jackals declared ‘grapes are sour’ when they fail to get it! No wonder!For me, the question ‘whether homeopathy works’ is already settled by experience. IT WORKS. How it works is the real question to be answered@EdzardErnst: Your failure as homeopath only proves you lack the ‘logic and brains’ essential to become a successful homeopath.We know many things our forefathers had no any idea. Our grand children will know many things we do not know now. Human knowledge advancesThere are a lot of unexplained phenomena around us. If they are objective TRUTH, they will be gradually proved, as human knowledge advancesHomeopathy is not yet explained by scientific methods- but it it does not mean it is ‘fake’. I am confident, we can prove it at the earliestIf you are not willing and capable of exploring beyond what you already know, and still you think you know everything, you become a skeptic.Somebody’s pathological ignorance regarding homeopathy cannot be considered an evidence against homeopathy
Dear skeptic, while talking about ‘deaths caused by homeopathy’, do you know how many people allopathy kill everyday around the world?
You should also know how many lives homeopathy saves, before commenting on a death ’caused’ by homeopathy. Homeopathy cannot kill anybody.
If you are ‘not aware’, of ‘evidences for homeopathy’, how can you say it is a ‘superstitious health belief’? I am ‘aware’ that homeopathy works
For the last 40 plus years, I have been ‘live witness’ for homeopathy doing wonders in healing thousands of individuals. I am fully convinced, sir.
If you are not biased against homeopathy, kindly look around. You can see hundreds of genuine homeopathic cures.
Give me 15 genuine patients with different acute and chronic diseases. I will convince you by 15 days that homeopathy works
BY not accepting my challenge, you proved you are not genuinely interested to verify whether homeopathy works. This is what I call bias and prejudice.
You ‘believe homeopathy is quackery’, and you don’t want to verify for truth. YOU think your ‘lack of awareness’ is enough ‘evidence against homeopathy’

According to hahnemann, ‘psora’ is the miasm of itch disease- chronic disease dispositions caused by ‘infectious agents of itch’.
During his time, hahnemann was not in a position to understand or explain how an ‘infectious agent’ can cause chronic disease dispositions in the body, even after the infection is removed. Hence, he explained this phenomenon using his concept of ‘miasms’ or ‘maligning of vital force’.
Now we know, only way by which an infectious agent can ‘malign’ the organism life long is through antibodies, which are produced in response to alien proteins such as infectious matters, and remain in the body for very long period, even whole life time.
Now we know, apart from fighting infections, antibodies are capable of binding to unexpected biological target molecules in the organism, produce pathological inhibitions, resulting in diverse types of chronic immunological diseases we call ‘auto-immune’ diseases.
It is obvious that the great genius of hahnemann actually observed this aspect of chronic diseases, and called it ‘miasms’, in the absence of scientific knowledge of immunology or antibodies.
Understanding and explaining miasms as “chronic disease dispositions caused by off-target bio-molecular inhibitions produced by antibodies generated in the body in response to alien proteins such as infectious agents” is actually a great revolutionary advance of hahnemann’s theory of chronic diseases. Hope homeopathy community would recognize the importance and implications of this scientific understanding of ‘miasms’.
——————————————————————
As per MIT concepts, miasms are chronic disease dispositions caused by off-target bio-molecular inhibitions produced by antibodies generated in the body in response to alien proteins such as infectious agents, and circulating in the body for very long period, even whole life time.
———————————————————————–
What is ‘accessory symptoms’ or accessory factors’ in homeopathic symptomatology?
The word ‘accessory’ means something that ‘adds completeness’ to something else. In that sense an ‘accessory symptom’ might be a symptom that gives ‘completeness’ for another symptom. That means, modalities, concomittants and such factors that give completeness for a symptom has to be considered an ‘accessory symptom’. If a ‘headache’ is ‘amel by cold applications’, ‘amel by cold applications’ is the ‘accessory’ of the symptom ‘headache’, thereby making it a ‘complete symptom’.
In my opinion, factors explaining causations, locations, sensations, modalities and concomitants belong to the broad class of ‘accessory symptoms’. Such factors make the symptoms ‘complete’. Accessory factors are also known as ‘symptom qualifications’. ‘ACCESSORY’ seems to be more meaningful and appropriate.
——————————————————————-
When I read in organon that “measles and small pox are infected not by transfer of anything material, but ‘dynamically’, just like a magnet acting up on a needle”, I cannot think it is a statement ‘pregnant with meanings’, but pure ignorance and absurdity. I can forgive hahnemann , considering his historical limitations. But, a science-educated young homeopath cannot be forgiven for his ignorance, if he says in 2012 that “every word of organon is pregnant with meaning”.
————————————————————————
As per MIT concepts, miasms are chronic disease dispositions caused by off-target bio-molecular inhibitions produced by antibodies generated in the body in response alien proteins such as infectious agents, and circulating in the body for very long period, even whole life time.
—————————————————————-
I want to say you should learn organon with a scientific mind. I want to say you should learn to rationally differentiate between scientific and unscientific things in organon. I want to say you should be aware of the historical limitations of scientific knowledge available to hahnemann during his time. I want to say you should always think what hahnemann would have said if he was living now. I want to say, to follow hahnemann does not mean reciting aphorisms and applying them blindly, but to take his teachings 250 years forward through history and update them to make them fit to the modern scientific knowledge system. I want to say, homeopaths should think, talk and practice as scientific physicians, not ‘spiritual healers’.
———————————————————————–
Once you are genuinely convinced something is right and something is wrong, and that their interests are diametrically opposite, you cannot accept the philosophy of ‘live and let live’, especially when you want to promote the right one.
——————————————————————
If homeopathy works, it ‘proves’ potentized drugs has therapeutic properties. It proves drugs can be selected by similarity of symptoms. It does not prove all those absurd theories of vital force, dynamic drug energy or miasms written by hahnemann are right. Homeopathy WORKS for me even without any such theories. Homeopathy works, but not the way hahnemann explained. It is for modern science to prove HOW HOMEOPATHY WORKS.
————————————————————–
In order to find similimum, we should first of all identify the CHARACTERISTIC SYMPTOMS of the patient we are dealing with.
To be considered a CHARACTERISTIC SYMPTOM, a symptoms should be ‘abnormal’, ‘uncommon’ and peculiar’.
It may be ‘subjective’ or ‘objective’.
It is terrible to talk to these skeptics who pretend to be last words in what is scientific. Full of ‘cocks’ and ‘bullshits’ in their mouth!
Wonder why these skeptics always talk ‘bullshit’ and ‘cocks’ like thugs and street goons. Why cant they behave like normal cultured people?
Scientific knowledge should make us better human beings. Behavior of skeptics make me think that they lack this quality of scientific awareness.
Healthy skepticism is part of scientific thought. But it becomes blind if not coupled with real scientific awareness and a desire for truth.
Science is all about inquiring truth that may be existing beyond what we already know. Not denying everything we do not know or understand.
For skeptics, science is a finished product. They think they already know everything. If anything they do not know, it simply do not exist!
———————————————————————-
If you cannot talk about homeopathy in a way fitting to existing scientific knowledge system, kindly keep quiet. Don’t talk foolish, please.
You cannot make the world recognize homeopathy by talking about ‘limitations of science’, and ‘ultra-science’ and ‘fringe science’ theories
Only way for homeopathy to get recognized as medical science is to explain it in scientific terms, and prove according to scientific methods
Homeopathy cannot be established as a legitimate medical science simply by quoting words of LUMINARIES. We need scientific proof for that.
Words of gandhiji, mother theresa, dalai lama, or such ‘great people’ about homeopathy have no role in scientific validation of homeopathy.
A homeopath being one of the personal physicians of a queen of britain no way contribute anything in the scientific validation of homeopathy
—————————————————————————
A young homeopath from kerala says, he cannot agree with my concepts or works, since he ‘loves’ homeopathy so much. He believes that by propagating ‘un-homeopathic’ and ‘anti-hahnemannian’ theories, I am doing great harm to young generation of homeopathy. He also believes, as a ‘dedicated ‘follower of master’, he is bound to resist my ‘anti-homeopathic’ activities.
I know, he is not alone in his way of thinking.
Dear friend, if you are a ‘dedicated’ homeopath with real ‘love’ for homeopathy, you should support my attempts to get it duly recognized and respected by scientific community by making it a scientific medical system, by explaining it in scientific terms and proving it according to scientific methods.
————————————————————————–
We cannot hope to establish homeopathy as a legitimate medical science by quoting words of gandhiji, mother theresa, tagore, einstein, bernard shaw, nobel laurettes, sports persons or such LUMINARIES. A homeopath being ‘personal physician’ of a queen of britain no way contribute anything in the scientific validation of homeopathy.To make homeopathy scientific, we should answer hard scientific questions, and explain and prove homeopathy according to scientific methods.

In Organon : Foot note of Aphorism 11 : Sixth Edition, we read:
“just as a child with small-pox or measles communicates to a near, untouched healthy child in an invisible manner (dynamically) the small-pox or measles, that is, infects it at a distance without anything material from the infective child going or capable of going to the one to be infected. A purely specific conceptual influence communicated to the near child small-pox or measles in the same way as the magnet communicated to the near needle the magnetic property. In a similar way, the effect of medicines upon living man is to be judged.”
This is a sample of ‘scientific thought’ of hahnemann. ” small-pox or measles” “infects at a distance without anything material from the infective child going or capable of going to the one to be infected.” HOW IS IT?
We should know, hahnemann wrote these words 250 years ago, and the the knowledge environment available to him was very limited. History will forgive him on that account. But hahnemann will not forgive us if we say NOW that everything he said was scientific.
———————————————————————-
It is a very dangerous habit for a homeopath to start searching for similimum from a LIST OF BEST DRUGS expected to be useful for a PARTICULAR DISEASE. Start your search from a GROUP OF DRUGS indicated for a most characteristic SYMPTOM expressed by your particular patient, and then verify which among them is most appropriate, by comparing with other symptoms of the patient. ANY drug may be indicated in ANY patient, if symptoms agree.
—————————————————————
MY LATEST TWEETS:
Any working hypothesis about homeopathy should identify the biological mechanism underlying action-reaction homeostasis of vital processes.
Could Hahnemann explain his observations in a way convincing to scientific world, homeopathy would have changed the fate of medical science.
Homeopaths so far failed to explain and prove similia similibus curentur and potentization by scientific methods before scientific community.
‘Similia Similibus Curenter’ has sufficiently proved its right for existence through thousands of miraculous cures by homeopaths world over
’Not yet scientifically proved’ does not mean homeopathy is fake, or it cant be proved ever. Many things proved now were unproved yesterdays.
A radical re-building of the whole system of homeopathy on a rational and scientific foundation is essential to make it a medical science.
I would not blame any scientist for saying homeopathy Is not scientific, until somebody prove It by scientific methods.
Dana Ullman and other ‘international representatives’ of homeopathy damage its scientific credentials through nonsense theories and writings.
’Energy’ Medicine’ – an attempt to cover up lack of essential knowledge in basic sciences for explaining homeopathy.
Dana Ullman- foremost spokesman of pseudo-scientific Energy Medicine theories of homeopathy makes homeopathy a mockery http://t.co/2JqQryIF.
Nothing to wonder in scientific community dismissing homeopathy as ‘fake’, and ‘quackery’, unless we stop talking nonsense ‘energy medicine’.
Our ‘international masters’, through their unscientific Energy Medicine theories, do more harm to homeopathy than anti-homeopathic skeptics.
If you really want to ‘save’ homeopathy, first save it from the hands of those ‘international masters’ who propagate utter nonsense theories.

Here is my scientific definition for HOMEOPATHY:
Homeopathy is a therapeutic method of curing diseases by using ‘molecular imprints’ of drug substances, which in ‘molecular forms’ could produce ‘symptoms’ similar to those presented by the patient. ‘Similarity’ of drug symptoms and disease symptoms indicate that the drug molecules and pathogenic molecules have ‘similar’ functional groups, by which they could bind to ‘similar’ biological molecules, produce ‘similar’ molecular inhibitions that caused ‘similar’ molecular pathology which are expressed through ‘similar’ subjective and objective ‘symptoms’. Molecular imprints of ‘similar’ drug molecules can act as artificial binding sites for ‘similar’ pathogenic molecules due to complementary configurational affinity, thereby deactivating them and relieving the biological molecules from pathological inhibitions, which amounts to ‘cure’. This is the scientific meaning of Similia Similibus Curentur.
———————————————————————
Probably in a bid to market as the ‘biggest repertory’, Complete Repertory has become extremely blown up by indiscriminately adding unverified new rubrics and new drugs under existing rubrics in the guise of ‘clinically proved symptoms’, that it is becoming more and more unreliable, day by day. Very sorry to say.
No doubt, Roger is doing admirable job. But, it should not be forgotten that symptoms obtained from drug proving is the basis of repertory.
We need ‘symptoms produced by drugs when used in molecular form’ . Clinical symptoms, or ‘symptoms considered to have been removed by using molecular imprints forms of drugs in patients’ are not dependable in selecting similimum. Subjectivity of physician plays a big role when a physician says such and such symptoms were removed by such and such drugs in clinical experience. ‘Symptoms produced’ and ‘symptoms removed’ are not of equal reliability.
I remember a recent incident which demonstrates how casually roger incorporates ‘clinical symptoms’ into his repertory. One of my good friend from kerala, who is a qualified allopath cum homeopath, posted a case on a discussion group. He said that he got instant cure for an infant’s nose block by giving a single dose of calc carb 200. When I asked on what symptoms he selected calcarea, he said he gives calc in routine way for nose block of infants, if there is difficulty in breas feeding due to nose block. I pointed out that ‘difficulty in breast feeding during nose block’ cannot be considered a peculiar symptom as it is very common, as infants have to breath through mouth. At this stage, roger intervened in discussion, and asked my friend whether he got same result with calcarea in nose block, and my friend answered positive. Then, to my great surprise, roger said that he is incorporating this rubric into his repertory as “Nose, obstructed in infants, difficulty to breast feed: CALC”. In fact, I know very well that my particular homeopath friend posted that case very casually, and he had many times confessed me that he has been practicing allopathy so far and started homeopathy very recently. He also confessed me that he is not much familiar with repertories and materia medica. I felt it very bad to see roger incorporating a rubric into repertory on the basis of a very casual case report posted by an inexperienced homeopath.

Prescribing arnica for falls and contusions, typhoidinum for a person suffering from chronic effects of typhoid, thyroidinum in a case of hyperthyroid person, histamine in allergic cases, apis or ledum for insect bites, pepsinum for gastritis, adrenalin for persistently anxious individuals- there are hundreds of such examples where we find a similimum other than by ‘totality of symptoms’
—————————————————————
Some people believe that to be a ‘homeopathic similimum’, the drug should be selected only by ‘similarity of symptoms’, which I think is not absolutely right. According to scientific perspective, similimum is a drug that in potentized form contains molecular imprints that can remove the specific molecular inhibitions in the individual, by binding to the responsible pathogenic molecules in capacity of complementary configurational affinity. Even though ‘similarity of symptoms’ is the most ideal way of deciding similimum universally applicable even to cases of unknown pathology , it is not the sole way for that purpose. In many cases, we can find a similimum utilizing the knowledge of biochemistry and exact molecular level pathology. Aetiological factors, previous repeated experiences of similar cases (specifics), history of previous diseases and vaccinations- there are many many ways of finding similimum for a particular case in hand. Homeopaths should be capable and flexible for utilizing all these diverse methods, so that they can decide most appropriate similimum for a given case.
————————————————————————
Whether a drug is allopathic or homeopathic is not determined by who manufactured it, how it is labelled, who prescribed it or how it is prescribed. IT is determined by the way it acts upon the organism. All drugs, genuinely potentized above avogadro limit so as to contain only ‘molecular imprints’, are ‘homeopathic’, irrespective of prescriber, medical systems, principles or methods of prescribing. Molecular imprints can act only in ‘homeopathically’, by binding to pathogenic molecules having functional groups similar to those of imprinted drug molecules.
———————————————————————–
All drugs in ‘molecular forms’- crude, mother tinctures and dilutions below avogadro limit- ACT up on the organism ALLOPATHICALLY, even if it is labelled as homeopathic medicine, prepared by a homeopathic manufacturer, or prescribed by a homeopath. Only ‘molecular imprints’ can act in genuine ‘homeopathic’ way.
—————————————————————–
MIT concepts do not agree with “the theory of vital force, theory of ‘only’ SINGLE drug, and potencies below 12c or avogadro limit”.
Regarding ‘high’ potencies, MIT considers just above avogadro limit as ideal- 12c and above.
MIT considers potentization as a process of molecular imprinting. By crossing avogadro limit, the preparation will be concentrated with molecular imprints, which are the real active principles of potentized drugs.
Molecular imprints contained in potentized drugs act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathogenic molecules having complementary configuration, thereby relieving biological molecules from pathological molecular inhibitions. Put in simple language, this is the exact molecular level process involved in homeopathic therapeutics.
——————————————————————
MIT concepts are not ‘theories’ until they are ‘proved’ by scientific methods. But you cannot belittle it as mere ‘assumptions’. One cannot make ‘scientific assumptions’ without support of scientific facts. Explanations of a phenomenon based on existing scientific facts are called ‘hypothesis’. A viable hypothesis which fits well to the existing scientific knowledge system is called a ‘scientific hypothesis’. It should be then verified and proved by repeated scientific experiments to make it a ‘theory’. What is special about MIT concepts is that it explains homeopathy in scientific terms, in a way fitting to modern scientific paradigms, and could be presented as a candidate for scientific verification.
While ‘doubting’ the validity of MIT concepts and belittling it as mere worthless ‘assumptions’, do you think there is any ‘theory’ in homeopathy that has been “based on scientific experimentation”? Do you think those aphorisms of organon, or ‘miasm’ theory or any such things are based on ‘scientific experimentation? You should remember, all those ‘theories’ you preach and practice under the banner of homeopathy are mere ‘assumptions’ and speculations, without any support of scientific verification. In fact in the long 250 year history of homeopathy, not even a single scientifically viable hypothesis has been developed in homeopathy. MIT is the first ‘scientific hypothesis’ in the history of homeopathy. To understand this statement, you should have a baseline knowledge of ‘science’ and ‘scientific methods’.
If you have ‘doubts’ only about MIT concepts, and have no any doubt or hesitation in preaching and practicing all those unscientific aphorisms, theories and ‘methods’ as ‘true’ homeopathy, it indicates a pathological mindset which I can comprehend, but cannot cure.
——————————————————————-
Discussions here may not directly ‘shake’ the skeptics. But, by enhancing the scientific awareness of homeopathic community gradually, these discussions will of course EMPOWER them to SHAKE skeptics in the long run.
By detecting the presence of ‘nanoparticles’ in the samples of homeopathic drugs, what did the IIT-B team actually prove”? They only proved that the ‘market samples’ of 6c, 30c and 200c are not much different from each other, and the manufa
Many homeopaths, in a bid to cover up their ignorance regarding modern science and scientific methods, hide themselves behind the argument that “homeopaths are doing cases and providing relief. It is for the scientists to find out how it works.”
Do they mean homeopaths ‘should not be’ bothered about how homeopathy works? I think such an argument reflects our laziness to learn, OR our ignorance of science. If ‘duty’ of homeopaths are only “doing cases and providing relief”, why should they spin and propagate all those ‘energy medicine’ theories about homeopathy? They should at least stop talking unscientific nonsense theories about homeopathy, and refrain from making ‘anti-scientific’ statements, and leave it for scientists to find out how homeopathy works, and wait for their explanations. How can we say it is the duty of of the scientists to find out how it works, same time making unscientific theories about homeopathy?
They argue: “Homeopaths work like operators of case management systems, they should not be be expected to know on what principles the engine works, and it is the botheration of automobile engineers”
OK. ‘Drivers’ need not know “on what principles the engine works”. But, drivers should only ‘drive’- not make absurd theories about ‘how engine works’, and talk theories that contradict all existing scientific laws of mechanics and physics. ONLY ‘DRIVE’.
AS mere ‘drivers’ or ‘operators’, homeopaths should show the minimum wisdom at least to confess ‘I DO NOT KNOW’ for questions such as ‘how homeopathy works’ or ‘what happens during potentization’. They should not talk theories about ‘dynamic drug energy’ and ‘vital force’. SIMPLY DRIVE! AND ‘PROVE’ THE ENGINE WORKS!
I have my own observations and opinions regarding ‘theories and systems’ devised by vijayakar, shankaran, sehgal and such people, and I have already made them known. You can have your opinions. If you think ‘every body is right’, let it be so.
My approach to any such ‘creative’ ‘theory’ is determined by whether they agree with existing scientific knowledge system and scientific methods. I will have to criticize any ‘theory’ that contradicts or does not agree with that scientific criterion.
‘Creativity’ in thinking, in the absence of scientific knowledge and rational methodology results in fanciful imaginations, wild theorizations, empty speculations and nonsense ‘methods’. They contribute nothing for scientific advancement of homeopathy. I DO NOT THINK ‘EVERYBODY IS RIGHT’, which is the excuse of those who are unable or lazy to decide which is right and which is wrong. Everybody, or every theory, cannot be right. We have to differentiate what is right and what is wrong.
—————————————————————
We can learn a ‘master’ or his theory in two different ways- dogmatic way or creative way.
In the dogmatic way, we learn what is preached by the author or ‘master’. The teacher or his ‘book’ is the ultimate authority here. His words are the ultimate truth. Master is considered to be beyond any mistakes, a ‘know-all without any limitations. The learner’s only duty is to grasp what is spoken by the master. Questions should be asked only to clear any doubts regarding ‘master’s words- nly to clearly understand the meaning of what he is saying. His theories should be discussed only to learn it ‘perfectly’. If you try to question the correctness of ‘master’s words it will never be tolerated. Only permitted relationship between the teacher and learner is ‘guru-disciple’ relationship. Here the learning means ‘copying’. “LEARN ONLY WHAT MASTER HAS SAID, BELIEVE ONLY WHAT MASTER HAS SAID, DON’T THINK BEYOND MASTER’S WORDS, QUOTE MASTER’S WORDS CORRECTLY WHENEVER NECESSARY TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE A ‘LEARNED’ AND ‘DEDICATED FOLLOWER’ OF MASTER.
The other way of learning is ‘creative learning’. Here, the learning by itself becomes a creative process. The books, the ideas, the theories and even the teacher- all are tools for the learner in this creative process. Utilizing these available materials and tools, the learner creates his own ideas through this process of learning. In this process, he will have to discard what ever he finds incorrect or unfitting to the ever-growing knowledge system. Learner digests and assimilates the ideas he get from books or teachers. He asks question like ‘why-how-what’ regarding everything preached. He earnestly verifies the correctness of every idea before they are accepted. Every lesson is dissected, analyzed, verified and then synthesized in a new higher dimension. CREATIVE LEARNING INVOLVES CREATION OF NEW IDEAS USING EXISTING ONES.
Homeopathy can be learned either way- dogmatically or creatively. My method of learning is latter one. I prefer to call this method ‘dialectical learning’. I cannot copy the words of ‘masters’ and ‘quote them as ultimate truth. Since most of the concepts, ‘tenets’ and ‘doctrines’ of homeopathy still remain unverified in a scientific way, I need answers for ‘what-why-how” about them to satisfy my scientific mind. Dogmatic preachers and learners may find it difficult to follow or tolerate what I say about homeopathy. I BEG TO BE EXCUSED.
THERE ARE NO UNQUESTIONABLE “BASIC TENETS” IN HOMEOPATHY. ACCEPT NOTHING AS “ULTIMATE TRUTH” ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS SPOKEN BY A “MASTER”.

Learning homeopathy does not mean learning only what hahnemann said, but taking the teachings of hahnemann 250 years forward through history.
There remains a lot to know than what you have already learned from hahnemann about similimum, miasms, potentization and such basic things.
Learning homeopathy means much more than mere reciting and applying aphorisms of Organon, and blindly ‘following’ and ‘defending’ Hahnemann.
Learning homeopathy means understanding, explaining and advancing it in scientific terms, in a way fitting to modern knowledge environment.
———————————————————————-
One young homeopath from Calicut, Kerala, commented on my post about my scientific explanations of miasms as follows:
“Without knowing knowledge about miasms please don’t open the talk about miasms sir. Without correct miasmatic analysis you can’t attain the proper simillimum and if one person doesnt understand about miasm, it is that person’s mistake of not understanding it. Not the mistake of miasm, homoeopathy and Dr Samuel Hahnemann.”
My answer: “Hope you will in course of time realize that there remains a lot to know than what you have already learned from hahnemann about homeopathy, miasms, potentization and such things. You will realize learning homeopathy does not mean learning only what hahnemann said, but to take the teachings of hahnemann 250 years forward through history. Learning homeopathy means much more than reciting and ‘applying’ aphorisms of organon. Learning homeopathy means understanding and explaining it it in terms of modern science, and advancing it in a way fitting to modern knowledge environment. For the time being, I see very limited scope for a discussion between us, as your opening comment itself reflects your thought that I KNOW VERY LITTLE, and I am ‘opening a talk’ about miasms ‘without knowing knowledge about miasms ‘ or how to find a similimum, and that you are in an illusion that you know much more about the topic. In such a mental condition, there cannot be a meaningful dialogue. I am not interested in an argument with you to prove that I know ‘better than you’. ”

’A dose of CARBO VEG before last breath is one’s birth right!’
My father-in-law, 95 years, has been in bed under severe senile dementia for last three years. Since one week, his condition was rapidly worsening, with severe breathing difficulties. Last night, he was in a sinking stage, and everybody around expected the worst to happen. Violent ‘death rales’ in chest, body deadly cold, pupil reflexes lost, eye balls rolling back, almost breathless- it seemed his final moments. During that state of panic, I suddenly remembered the sentence quoted above, which I read somewhere earlier. I opened my medicine box, dropped a few drops of CARBO VEG 30 on his tongue. To every body’s surprise, his pupil reflexes returned with in five minutes. Improvement was very fast, almost unbelievable. A few drops of ANTIM TART 30 produced mouthfuls of expectoration, and breathing difficulties relieved. He is in a far better condition today morning. Identifying people around him, had a light breakfast, expressions brighter, responding to questions and answering in a feeble voice. HE IS BACK TO LIFE!!!
I am still wondering about carbo veg, and also about homeopathy!!

Disease is the outcome of interactions between environment and our genetic substance. We have to learn the dynamics of ‘genotype-phenotype’ relationship to get a scientific answer to the question ‘why same disease express different symptoms in different persons’. Our genetic substance differs from person to person, and as such, our responses to disease-causing external agents also are bound to be different from person to person.
—————————————————————————-
First of all, we should understand what hahnemann actually meant by miasms. He was talking about the causative factors of chronic diseases. He noticed that many infectious diseases such as itch, gonorrhoea, syphilis etc do not leave once their acute manifestations disappear, but cause chronic disease dispositions for the whole life. He advised to deal with this ‘miasmatic’ background of chronic diseases.
Secondly, we should understand how an infectious disease can cause life long disease dispositions. Modern immunology has revealed that any protein substance which are alien to our genetic blue print entering our body results in production of specific antibodies in order to combat the invaders. All infectious agents contains proteins alien to our system. These antibodies, even though intended to combat alien proteins, circulates in the system, and can also bind to unexpected native biological targets and cause off target molecular inhibitions, which may cause pathological molecular errors. Modern immunology has made a lot of studies on this aspect of chronic diseases, which are called autoimmune diseases or immune-mediated diseases. While proposing miasms as an important factor in chronic diseases, hahnemann was actually talking about this anti-bodies mediated diseases.
We should understand, miasms are chronic disease dispositions caused by off target molecular inhibitions produced by antibodies generated against infectious agents and alien proteins entering our organism.

The intellectual exercises happening in the name of ‘miasmatic analysis’ is making homeopathy an unending mockery.
Some homeopaths appear to be experts in ‘miasmatic analysis’. Once a case is presented to them, they cannot avoid ‘miasmatic analysis’ of patients, drug substances, diseases and even rubrics. Instead of discussing symptoms and similimum, they would go on talking about miasms.
I have never seen two ‘miasmatic experts’ talking about miasms in similar language. You give them a case for ‘miasmatic analysis’. Each would come with different analysis.
I never seen two homeopaths agreeing up on ‘miasmatic analysis’ of same case, same symptom or same medicine. Everybody talk differently. Does itnot indicate confusions? If you have any doubt on what I said, kindly post a case for ‘miasmatic analysis’ here. ‘Miasmatic experts’ would fight each other with their strange ways of analysis. They would discuss strange concepts such as “psora merging into tuberculous spectrum”, or “psora converting into sycosis and then to syphilis as disease advances”. They would talk about ‘tri-miasmatic’ drugs, patients and diseases!
’Miasmatic analysis’ is the sum total of ‘confusions’ created in the minds of already ‘confused’ learners, by ‘teachers’ who are gravely ‘confused’ themselves. The final outcome is ‘Utter Confusion for All’!
——————————————————————–
Any ‘symptom’ -mental or physical- represents an underlying physiological process happening in the organism at molecular level. Normal physiological processes are represented by ‘normal’ symptoms. A state of pathology is an ‘abnormal’ state of physiology at molecular level, and they are expressed through ‘abnormal’ symptoms. For finding a similimum for removing a state of pathology, we need to consider the ‘abnormal’ symptoms that represent the abnormal state of affairs in the organism. A homeopath should be capable of differentiating ‘abnormal’ and ‘normal’ symptoms. Abnormal anger, abnormal fear, abnormal anxiety, abnormal thirst, abnormal desires, abnormal behaviors, abnormal pains, abnormal sensations, abnormal emotions, abnormal appetite, abnormal thermal reactions, abnormal sensitivities….. ABNORMAL is the keyword in selecting a symptom for homeopathic analysis of a case.
Most homeopaths try to know whether a patient is ‘hot’ or ‘chilly’ while case taking. There are ‘hot’ remedies and ‘cold’ remedies. In my opinion, these rubrics are relevant only if patient is ‘abnormally hot’ or abnormally chiily’ in his
——————————————————————
Many simple-minded homeopaths point out that vijayakar, shankaran and such people are making ‘excellent’ results. They ask, are not these results convincing ‘proof’ for the correctness of their ‘theories’ and ‘methods’?
My answer is ‘NO’! All these ‘excellent’ results they produce are ‘proof’ for homeopathy- nothing else. These people are well experienced homeopaths. They know well how to find similimum and apply it. Anybody get results if they prescribe correct similimum, and use potentized drugs. Game plan of all these proponents of commercially branded METHODS is to make results by prescribing correct similimum according to symptoms, and then pretend it was done using special METHOD they are marketing. VIJAYKAR, SHANKARAN and all such people actually do this trick to convince their followers. Followers, who try to ‘follow’ the ‘teachings’ and ‘methods’ of these ‘gurus’ fail miserably in practice, as they do not know how to find similimum. They should understand, the results their gurus make are the success of applying ‘similia similibus curentur’- not any particular ‘method’ or ‘theory’ they preach and market.
—————————————————————————————
In the absence of essential scientific knowledge, vijaykar tries to appear ‘scientific’ by sprinkling terms from ’embryology and genetics’.
Wearing a ‘scientific’ mantle, vijaykar successfully marketed his ‘methods’ among the ‘science-starved’ sections of homeopathic community.
Vijaykar plays with some scientific terms, but failed to comprehend the biochemistry behind homeopathic therapeutics.
Drug molecules as well as pathogenic molecules with similar functional groups can bind to similar biological molecules and produce similar molecular inhibitions and similar symptoms. Molecular imprints of similar molecules can act as artificial binding sites for similar molecules and remove similar molecular inhibitions. This is the ONLY scientific explanation for ‘similia similibus curentur’, the therapeutic principle of homeopathy. Unless you understand this statement in its right perspective, you will continue to grope in the dark, meddling with all sorts of unscientific ‘theories’.
———————————————————————
Functional group of pathogenic molecule bind to the biological molecules only if they have ‘complementary’ configuration. It is comparable with blocking of a key hole with a fake key. Only legitimate key can enter the key hole perfectly and open it. Natural ligands are the legitimate keys of biological molecules. Molecular imprints have ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathogenic molecules, with better configurational affinity than biological molecules. As such, due to this comparatively higher affinity, molecular imprints can bind to pathogenic molecules , thereby relieving the biological molecules. This phenomenon could be better understood if we study the dynamics of ligand-receptor interactions, molecular inhibitions and reactivations, especially competitive inhibitions and competitive reactivation
————————————————————————-
Homeopaths feel that they have to ‘prove’ modern science ‘wrong’, for ‘proving’ homeopathy. Hence, they talk about ‘limitations of science’!
We can, and have to, explain and ‘prove’ homeopathy with in the ‘limits’ of modern science- using paradigms, tools and methods of science.
Homeopaths should stop ‘ultra-science’ and ‘fringe science’ pretensions. Think, talk, explain, prove and apply in terms of MODERN SCIENCE.
——————————————————————-
Propagating homeopathy in terms of ‘Water Memory’ and ‘Energy Medicine’, no hope for homeopathy to get accepted by scientific community
’Water memory’ theory says water can carry the memory of any ‘energy’ to which it is exposed- even ‘drug energy’ and ‘mind energy’. NONSENSE
They believe, we can ‘medicate’ water by simply keeping bottles of potentized drugs near it, and that ‘energized’ water could be used as medicine! Some western ‘homeopaths’ claims they ‘medicate’ water by keeping bottles of water on paper in which the name of ‘similimum’ is written. Then it is given to patients, which gives ‘excellent’ results!!. With this type of utter nonsense propagated as homeopathy, how can we hope homeopathy to be accepted by scientific community?
Scientific community should differentiate the scientific concept of ‘molecular imprinting in water’ from nonsense ‘theory of water memory’.
————————————————————————-
Truth is objective, and explanations are subjective. Don’t deny natural objective truth, even if explained wrongly, Change the explanation.
Scientists should not deny the objective natural phenomena involved in homeopathy, only because it was so far explained unscientifically.
Homeopathy works. No truthful person can deny. But HOW? Not the way Hahnemann or his followers explained. Scientists should find it out NOW.
Similia Similibus Curentur and Potentization involve objective phenomena of nature. But they were so far explained in most unscientific ways
Scientific community should explore and realize TRUTH that exists beyond what those nonsense homeopathy theoreticians say about homeopathy.
Science is all about inquiring truth- not denying anything without verifying. Homeopathy deserves a better treat from scientific community.
Instead of out-rightly denying homeopathy and safeguarding big pharma interests, scientific community should try to find out the truth in it
————————————————————————
If a physician belonging to modern medicine is convinced of the effectiveness of homeopathy and its supremacy over allopathy, and comes forward to practice homeopathy, what should be the approach of homeopathic community to such converts? I think it is a debatable topic.
Right or wrong, I feel pride for homeopathy whenever I meet an allopath converted himself to homeopathy by realizing is merits, where as ashamed when meeting a homeopath practicing allopathy after failing and losing confidence in homeopathy.
AN ALLOPATH CONVERTING TO HOMEOPATHY INDICATES STRENGTH OF ‘HOMEOPATHY’, WHERE AS A HOMEOPATH PRACTICING ALLOPATHY INDICATES ‘HIS’ FAILURE.
—————————————————————————
Simila Similibus Curentur and Potentization, TWO essential principles of homeopathy, are based on true, objective, natural laws involved in the phenomena of disease and cure, which the great genius of Hahnemann observed perfectly and very minutely. But due to severe historical limitations of knowledge environment available to him, he was forced to explain those natural phenomena using totally unscientific and spiritualistic concepts of dynamism and vitalism while building the therapeutic system of homeopathy. To make homeopathy a scientific medical system, we have to preserve and advance the objective essence of homeopathy, while remorselessly discarding all the unscientific speculations and ‘theories’ in which this ‘essence’ was wrapped by the master. IN MY OPINION, MORE THAN 90% OF TEXTS IN ORGANON AND CHRONIC DISEASES CONSIST OF THIS UNSCIENTIFIC ‘THEORETICAL’ SPECULATIONS, WORTH ONLY TO BE THROWN AWAY AS MERE HISTORICAL GARBAGE!!
———————————————————
Rats are terminated by offering them ‘free’ courses of feeds mixed with rat poisons. HOMEOPATHY could be terminated by offering ‘free courses’ of allopathy pharmacology to homeopaths. BRILLIANT IDEA, INDEED!
PERMITTING HOMEOPATHS TO PRACTICE ALLOPATHY IS NOTHING LESS THAN LEGALIZED PROSTITUTION!!! THIS IS LEGALIZED QUACKERY.
While demanding permission for homeopaths to practice allopathy, please DO NO’T FORGET THE DISASTROUS EXPERIENCES OF AMERICAN HOMEOPATHY!!
Did any allopath demand for permission to practice homeopathy? Did they demand a ‘course’ in homeopathic pharmacology? Never. Think why?
Whether Legalized or not, a homeopath practicing allopathy will have to be called ‘MEDICAL PROSTITUTE’. The term ‘MONGREL’ is not enough .
Homeopaths demanding permission to practice allopathy should be aware of the damage they are doing to homeopathy, by making us defenseless
Homeopaths demanding permission to practice allopathy is a blatant, shameless admission of skeptic criticism that homeopathy is ineffective
—————————————————————————-
Mind is the product of complex chemical interactions happening in brain and central nervous system. Mind does not exist separated from body.
By the term ‘living organism’, we indicate a material system with a specific quantity, quality, structure and functions of its own, which is capable of self-controlled growth and reproduction of its progeny, by accepting matter and energy from its environment. The phenomenon of life exists through a continuous chain of highly complex biochemical interactions which control each other, depend up on each other and are determined by each other.
’Does homeopathy work?’ is an irrelevant question- IT DOES. The real question now is ‘how it works?’. Let us try to answer this question.
————————————————————–
Jay Thompson @boffchops: @similimum “Water is a polar covalent bond, not a polymer! Most common synthetic polymers are hydrophobic (water-fearing). Educate yourself.”
My answer: @boffchops “Not polymer. But water molecules can form hydrogen bonded polymolecular nanostructures and host-guest complexes like clathrates.”
POTENTIZATION is a process by which host-guest complexes are prepared by dissolving drug molecules in water, and then producing empty ‘nanostructures’ of water molecules by removing the ‘guest’ molecules by serial dilution and powerful shaking.These empty ‘nanostructures’ are ‘molecular imprints’ of drug molecules, which form the active principle of potentized drugs. Molecular imprints can act as artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules having configurations similar to original drug molecules.
During potentization water-drug host-guest complexes are formed, and then molecular imprints are produced by removing the ‘guest’ molecules
Any idiot can pose himself as a skeptic and make nasty comments on homeopathy. To be a homeopath, one should have some substance in his nut
——————————————————————-
Homeopathy contains a most rational and futuristic system of medicine, but explained in a most unscientific and irrational way
‘Molecular Imprinting’ Is The Key-word in scientific understanding of homeopathy. If You Fail To Get It, You Cannot Follow My Concepts.
———————————————————————-
Actually, homeopaths who say ‘science is wrong’, as well as skeptics who say ‘homeopathy is wrong’ are two sides of same coin- ignorance
To combat skeptic attacks effectively, we should make homeopathy scientific. For that, homeopaths should develop a scientific outlook first
First you stop talking unscientific theories, and make homeopaths aware of scientific homeopathy- Only then you can combat skeptic attacks
FIRST OF ALL, we have to rescue homeopathy from the malignant influence of people promoting unscientific theories and occult practices
Talking nonsense, irrational theories, our unscientific homeopaths do more harm to homeopathy than anti-homeopathic skeptics and scientists.
If we had a scientifically viable and rational theory about homeopathy, no skeptics could have attacked us- deficiencies make us vulnerable
————————————————————————–
Study supra-molecular properties of water, water clusters and molecular imprinting to understand science behind homeopathic potentization.
——————————————————————————-
Jay Thompson @boffchops, a Skeptic said: “200C dilution of duck liver (Oscillococcinum) would require 10^320 more universes to simply have 1 molecule in final substance.”
My answer: “YOU GOT IT WRONG! Potentiztion is a process to prepare ‘molecular imprints’ devoid of any molecules, to be used as therapeutic agent. Once you learn molecular imprinting, you can realize how homeopathy medicine works even without a single drug molecule in it.”
—————————————————————————
Let A be the biological target molecules such as an enzyme or receptor, and B be its natural ligand. If C is a drug molecule having functional groups similar to that of B, C can bind to A by mimicking as B, cause inhibition and produce symptoms. This is the process involved in drug proving .
A pathologic molecule D binds to A and creates a molecular inhibition that amounts to pathology. If drug molecule C and pathological molecule D have similar functional groups, they can produce similar inhibitions and similar symptoms. In that case, C is said to be similimum to D. Let E be molecular imprints of C, produced by its potentization. E can bind to D due to complementary affinity, and thereby relieve A from the inhibition caused by the pathological molecule D. That amounts to a homeopathic cure.
—————————————————————————
I hope, scientific meaning of ‘similia similibus curentur’ is well explained by me, and scientifically viable answers provided for the THREE fundamental questions of homeopathy- what happens during potentization, what are the active principles of potentized drugs, and what is the exact molecular mechanism by which potentized drugs produce a therapeutic effect. Answers to all other secondary questions could be easily evolved once you comprehend these fundamental answers.
Diseases, other than those originating from genuine nutritional deficiencies and genetic abnormalities, are caused by diverse types of exogenous or endogenous pathological molecules, which inhibit the normal actions of essential biological molecules by binding to them. Exactly, it is the ‘functional groups’ of pathological molecules that bind to biological molecules and produce pathological inhibitions, which are expressed through subjective and objective symptoms we call as ‘diseases’.
Constituent chemical molecules of a drug substance interact with our body by binding their diverse types of ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ with specific biological target molecules in our organism and modifying their actions. This interaction is determined by configurational as well as charge affinities between those functional groups and biological target molecules. It is the number of types of biologically active ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ available in a drug substance that decides whether it is a ‘single’ drug or ‘multiple’ drug.
Different types of ‘functional groups’ of individual molecules contained in a drug substance bind to different biological target molecules, and produce different types of modifications. It is this ‘modifying’ or ‘inhibitory’ actions that produce molecular states of pathologies during drug proving, which are expressed through diverse types of subjective and objective symptoms.
Similar functional groups being part of different drug molecules of even different drug substances can bind to same target molecules and produce similar bio-molecular modifications and similar symptoms.
When a drug molecule has functional groups or moieties similar to those of a pathological molecule, they can attack same biological targets, and symptoms they produce would be similar. In such a situation, the drug molecule is said to be ‘similimum’ to that pathological molecule. Obviously, according to scientific perspective, we should understand the concept of ‘similimum’ in terms of similarity of ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ of pathological molecules and drug molecules.
Potentization is exactly a process of controlled ‘host-guest’ interactions, by which the three-dimensional configuration of ‘functional groups’ of individual constituent molecules of drug substances (host) are imprinted into a hydrogen-bonded supra-molecular matrix of water-ethyl alcohol molecules (guest) as ‘nanocavities’.
These nanocavities or ‘molecular imprints’ can bind to and deactivate any functional group having configuration similar to that of original ‘host’ molecule imprinted into it. As such, a potentized drug can act as biological antidote towards any pathological molecule, if the drug and disease were capable of producing ‘similar’ symptoms, which actually mean, they contain similar ‘functional groups’.
————————————————————————–
Only way I can be truly ‘positive’ to homeopathy is by being myself ‘negative’ to ‘negative’ things in homeopathy. Lot of ‘negatives’ there.
A prominent lady homeopath messaged me today: “I read your articles when ever i get time from my practice and agree to most of the points but i feel if a positive approach is posted that will motivate many young drs to associate with you and you can be a very good guide to them if you have any strategies to involve them in research.Thanks”.
Being negative to negatives, and positive to positives- that is the essence of dialectical scientific approach. If you take a positive approach to negative things in homeopathy, you actually become negative to true positive homeopathy.
—————————————————————————
Hahnemann could not provide a scientific explanations for the phenomena involved in homeopathy, due to the historical limitations of knowledge environment available to him. That is understandable and acceptable. But, what were the ‘faithful disciples’ of hahnemann doing for explaining homeopathy scientifically all these 200 hundred years after hahnemann? Only making it appear more and more absurd by talking all sorts of ‘anti-scientific’ and ‘ultra-scientific’ nonsense ‘energy medicine’ theories that contradicts all existing scientific knowledge system. By talking about ‘miracles’ ‘magics’, and doing occult practices in the name of homeopathy that no rational minded human beings can agree with. Nobody so far bothered to evolve even a scientifically viable working hypothesis about homeopathy that could be presented as a candidate for verification according to scientific methods. All those ‘newtons’, ‘ensteins’ and ‘gurus’ of homeopathy were only busy with amassing money by conducting seminars, propagating and marketing their branded ‘methods and principles’. Our ‘research institutions’ were only interested in preparing bills and vouchers for the huge money they were allotted from public exchequers. How can we blame scientific community for saying homeopathy is unscientific.
————————————————————————–
Had he happened to live 200 years later, Hahnemann would have presented a therapeutic system totally different from our present Homeopathy.
————————————————————————–
The sad thing we should never forget is that we have not yet evolved even a scientifically viable working hypothesis regarding homeopathy.
—————————————————————————
Homeopathy should be learned and applied as subject of science, not as religion or metaphysics. Homeopaths should learn how to talk science
————————————————————————-
In present knowledge environment, no hope for homeopathy to exist and advance, unless we provide a scientifically viable explanation for it.
————————————————————————–
Homeopathy is so far not proved by scientific methods, and as such, scientific community has every right to say homeopathy is not scientific
————————————————————————–
Learning homeopathy for long 40+ years, there remains a lot for me yet to learn. Learning process never ends for a dedicated homeopath.
————————————————————————–
True, most homeopaths talk a lot of bogus things about homeopathy. But I assure you, there is science in in homeopathy, which even those homeopaths fail to understand. I would not blame anybody for saying homeopathy is nonsense. It is Homeopaths themselves who misguided the scientific community by talking that much nonsense theories no rational mind can tolerate. Homeopathy is not nonsense, but there are a lot of nonsense homeopaths who make homeopathy appear nonsense before the scientific community.
————————————————————————
Dear Skeptic, you say: “Homeopaths only have to learn the art of flannel, remedies are identical!”. Means either you got it wrong, or you are prejudiced against homeopathy. Doing homeopathy 40+ years, I have a lot to learn yet!
—————————————————————————
Being a skeptic is much easier than becoming a good homeopath. Homeopath has to learn science and art of curing. Skeptic needs only negating
——————————————————————————-
Skepticism is the real pseudoscience. Being a skeptic, one can pretend to be a big scientist, without knowing science or scientific methods
————————————————————————–
Skeptic approach basically differs from genuine scientific approach. Science is concerned with truth. Skeptics negate truth unknown to them!
———————————————————————-
Every ‘science’ has an ‘art’. Every ‘art’ has a ‘science’. ‘Art of Science’ and ‘Science of ‘art’. ‘Science’ represents ‘theory’ and ‘art’ represents’ ‘practice’. Practice without theory is blind, theory without practice is impotent. Theory evolves from practice. Practice is guided by theory. Theory and Practice- Science and Art- forms a ‘dialectical unity’, where one cannot exist without the other.
————————————————————————-
According to skeptics, anything they fail to understand is ‘pseudoscience’ and ‘quackery’. They simply don’t understand homeopathy!!!!
—————————————————————————————
Modern medicine should cast aside their ego and imbibe homeopathy into their arsenal for the benefit of humanity.
———————————————————————–
Most homeopaths as well as skeptics say they have been “laughing and arm waving” after reading my articles explaining homeopathy as Molecular Imprints Therapeutics. When everything you read simply fly over your head, only thing you can do is “laughing and arm-waving”. Pitiable, indeed.
Homeopaths would have been happy if I said “homeopathy is ultimate science”. Skeptics would have been happy if I said “homeopathy is quackery”. Sorry sir, I differ from both of you.
—————————————————————–
Homeopathic potentization is ‘target-specific drug designing’, and ‘similia similibus curentur’ is a way of ‘target-specific drug piloting’
Homeopathy actually involves target-specific drug designing, targeted drug piloting, and a way to avoid off-target actions of drug molecules.
That is why I say, Homeopathy is Molecular Imprints Therapeutics- an advanced branch of Modern Molecular Medicine. For the time being, it will be difficult for both homeopaths and modern scientists to realize this great truth. But I am sure, a day will come when everybody understand and accept what I say.
————————————————————
By potentization and similia principle, homeopathy provides most scientific and practical answers to three important issues of modern molecular medicine- target specific drug designing, targeted drug piloting, and a avoiding side effects arising from off-target actions of drug molecules. Modern medicine should cast aside their ego and imbibe this wonderful therapeutic tool into their arsenl for the benefit of humanity as a whole.
———————————————————————-
Target-specific drug designing and piloting devoid of any chances off-target actions- it is the most cherished dream of Modern Molecular Medicine. Once they comprehend the scientific meaning of potentization as a way of drug designing by molecular imprinting in water, and ‘similia similibus curentur’ as an advanced technology of target-specific drug piloting, scientific community will have to accept the truth that ‘Homeopathy is the right answer’ for their inquiries.
——————————————————————–
If you are not willing to abandon some of the existing beliefs that are based on comparatively ‘less perfect’ old knowledge you call ‘classical homeopathy’, and update yourselves with ‘more perfect’ new scientific knowledge, you cannot comprehend or accept the concepts of advanced scientific homeopathy. You are doomed to belong to that class of intellectual morons who resist all scientific advancements in homeopathy, and declare ‘homeopathy is ultimate science’ and ‘our master is the greatest scientist ever lived’.
————————————————————————
Everything I say about homeopathy will appear to be “too much” for those who are trained in ‘classical’ homeopathic lessons, and those who are not willing or capable of thinking beyond ‘vital force’ and ‘dynamic drug energy’ concepts of homeopathy. For those who are not willing or capable of updating their scientific knowledge. For those who believe homeopathy is the ‘ultimate science’, and ‘our master is the greatest ever scientist’.
——————————————————————————
Existing more than 250 years as an independent therapeutic system totally alienated from mainstream scientific knowledge, I think time is now ripe for homeopathy to converge into modern molecular medicine, as an advanced branch of medical science.
The great divide between ‘allopathy and homeopathy’ could now be effectively bridged through my scientific explanation of potentization and similia similibus curentur.
Once the people belonging to molecular medicine realizes the historical implications of this convergence, I hope they would also utilize ‘molecular imprinting’ as part of their target-specific drug designing technology.
Since ‘modern medicine’ requires a clear understanding of pathological molecular processes to decide an appropriate therapeutic agent, they cannot treat many diseases which are not well understood. For homeopathy, knowing the exact molecular error behind the pathology is not necessary, since homeopathy identifies the molecular errors and their remedial agents by observing subjective and objective ‘symptoms’ that express the molecular errors. As such, homeopathy can cure any disease even without knowing the underlying molecular errors, merely on the basis of ‘symptoms’. This is a great advantage for homeopathy. Whereas modern medicine can hope for an effective treatment only for well understood diseases, that to with possibility of unwanted side effects, homeopathy can treat any disease effectively and safely.
Since ‘modern medicine’ uses highly reactive ‘drug molecules’ as therapeutic agents, they can create dangerous ‘off-target’ molecular errors in the organism. That is the main draw back of ‘modern medicine’. Since homeopathy uses only ‘molecular imprints’, they cannot cause any ‘off-target’ molecular errors. Hence homeopathy is very safe when compared to modern medicine.

Homeopathic potentization is a process by which dissolved drug molecules are removed from the water, and empty hydration shells preserved
Presence of ethyl alcohol molecules enhances the bond strength, restricts movements of water molecules, and stabilize the hydration shells
———————————————————————-
Without a clear understanding of concepts and methods of ‘molecular pathology’ and ‘proteomics’, one cannot conceive ‘Scientific Homeopathy.
———————————————————————————-
Molecular imprints are ‘stored’ in the supra-molecular matrix of water, just like a fingerprint are ‘stored’ in a waxy surface.
Water always exist as a supramolecular network formed by hydrogen bonding. When any substance is dissolved in water, this H2O network restructuress in such a way that H2O molecules molecules arranges themselves around each individual molecule of the ‘guest’, thereby forming ‘hydration shells’. Normally, these hydration shells disappear once ‘guest’ molecules are removed. But through the process of serial dilution and succussion, the guest molecules are removed without destroying hydration shells. Presence of heavy alcohol molecules also plays a role in stabilizing hydration shells, restricting movements of water molecules. As a result, empty hydration shells remains, which carries the ‘imprints’ of dissolved molecules, which we call ‘molecular imprints’.
—————————————————-
Potentized homeopathic drugs supply molecular imprints which act as artificial binding sites for pathologic molecules of ‘similar’ shape.
‘Similimum’ is a drug that contains molecules having functional groups similar to those of pathogenic molecules, and can bind to same target
Molecular Imprints contained in potentized forms of simimum can deactivate pathogenic molecules by binding to their functional groups.
Molecular Imprints and antibodies act somewhat similar ways- antibodies bind and deactivate antigens, molecular imprints bind to pathogens
Antibodies act as ‘natural binding sites’ for antigens, whereas Molecular imprints act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for pathogens- that much similar, that much different.
Epitopes of antigens bind to peritopes of antibodies by complementary configurational affinity. Similar way, functional groups of pathogenic molecules bind to molecular imprints in potentized drugs by complementary configurational affinity.
Antibodies are ‘molecular imprinted proteins’. Potentized drugs are ‘molecular imprinted water’.
————————————————————————–
Molecular imprints acting as artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules- It is the most fitting scientific explanation of homeopathy
————————————————————–
If you are given two separate samples of ‘rectified spirit’ and ‘Nux Vom 200 in equal quantities, can any body identify them by any means? If not, do you not think it is a most imperative task our researchers should undertake? Have you got any ideas or proposals on this question?
Until somebody answers this question and evolves a reliable solution, homeopathic profession is left to the pity of pharmacists and manufacturers.
————————————————————–
Problem with skeptics in understanding homeopathy is that they blieve that their knowledge level decides the limits of scientific truth
—————————————————————–
Dear skeptics, study ‘molecular imprinting technology’ and supra-molecular properties of water, before declaring homeopathy is impossible.
—————————————————————–
A common factor I could observe in all skeptics is that all of them behave as if they are ‘know-alls’, with a divine right to judge anything and everything that are even beyond their range of comprehension. They believe, nothing exists beyond their limited knowledge levels. They think they have a special right to define what is science and what is not!

Homeopathy is so far explained very unscientifically, using concepts of dynamism and vital force, which alienated it from scientific community.
————————————————————-
With my 40+ years of hard personal experience with homeopatjy, I am fully convinced ‘IT WORKS’- beyond any doubt. Only question is, ‘HOW’?
—————————————————————
Stop nonsense talks about ‘energy medicine’ and ‘dynamic science’. Explain homeopathy scientifically, and prove it as per scientific methods
—————————————————————-
Homeopathic potentization could be rationally explained only by ‘molecular imprinting’. Unless you understand it, you remain in the dark.
————————————————————–
Dear skeptic, bring me ten persons suffering from different acute or chronic diseases. I will convert you into an admirer of homeopathy.
—————————————————————-
A skeptic who calls homepathic drugs as ‘magic water’ is like the legendary frog, believing there is no world outside the well he lives in.
————————————————————-
Skepticism should not be a convenient mask to cover up ignorance. It does not give you power to judge everything. You do not know what really is homeopathy. That is all.
——————————————————-
Most skeptics use the word ‘science’ to cover up their ignorance, and use it to attack homeopathy, without any idea about what it teally is.
—————————————————————-
The scientific concept of ‘Molecular Imprinting’ in water should not be confused with the pseudoscientific ‘water memory’ theory.
The term ‘molecular imprinting’ and ‘molecular imprints’ originally comes from polymer chemistry, where these terms are used to describe a technique of creating template-shaped cavities in polymer matrices with memory of the template molecules, to be used as artificial molecular recognition sites.
This technique is based on the system used by enzymes for substrate recognition, which is called the “lock and key” model. The active binding site of an enzyme has a unique geometric structure that is particularly suitable for a substrate. A substrate that has a corresponding shape to the site is recognized by selectively binding to the enzyme, while an incorrectly shaped molecule that does not fit the binding site is not recognized.
In a similar way, molecular imprinted materials are prepared using a template molecule and functional monomers that assemble around the template and subsequently get cross-linked to each other. The functional monomers, which are self-assembled around the template molecule by interaction between functional groups on both the template and monomers, are polymerized to form an imprinted matrix. They are known in the scientific community as a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP). Then the template molecule is removed from the matrix under certain conditions, leaving behind a cavity compl ementary in size and shape to the template. The obtained cavity can work as a selective binding site for a specific template molecule.
I have been using the concepts of ‘molecular imprinting’ and ‘molecular imprints’ to explain homeopathic potentization in this scientific perspective. My contention is that water has polymer-like properties at supra-molecular level, and as such, water can be used as molecular imprinting medium exactly similar to other polymer substances. During potentization, three dimensional configuration of drug molecules are imprinted as nanocavities into the hydrogen-bonded supra-molecular networks of ethyl alcohol-water matrix. These ‘molecular imprints’ or ‘hydrosomes’ can act as ‘artificial binding sites’ for the drug molecules used for imprinting, as well as to pathogenic molecules having similar configurations. Active principles of potentized drugs are these ‘molecular imprints’.
This is the scientific understanding of ‘molecular imprinting’ and ‘molecular imprints’.
Now, the proponents of ‘energy medicine’ theories are trying to hijack this scientific concept to promote their pseudo-scientific theories of ‘water memory’. They talk about ‘molecular imprints’ of ‘drug energy’ and even ‘spiritual energy’. They talk about ‘molecular imprinting’ of ‘thoughts’ into water. According to them, ‘molecular imprints’ act by ‘emitting’ ‘radiations’, ‘waves’, ‘resonance’ and such things. They mix up ‘molecular imprinting’ with ‘water memory’ theories of people like Emotto, Chaplin and Rustum Roy. Their theories have nothing in common with the scientific concepts of ‘molecular imprinting’.
Anyhow, these people create a lot of confusions during our discussions about scientific homeopathy.
Modern biochemistry explains molecular mechanisms of disease and cure in terms of ‘key-lock’ relationship between ligands and their target molecules. This ‘key-lock’ concept has been proved right by the preparation and use of target specific designer drugs. Any scientific explanation we provide for molecular mechanism of homeopathic therapeutics involved in ‘similia similibus curentur’ should be fitting to this ‘key-lock’ concept of molecular interactions. My explanation of of homeopathy on the basis of ‘molecular imprints’ acting as ‘artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules’ perfectly meets this fundamental condition.
—————————————————————-
Scientific homeopathy can advance only by waging consistent and relentless struggle against pseudo-scientific ‘energy medicine’ homeopathic theoreticians on one side, and negative-mined ‘anti-homeopathic’ skeptic community on other side.
You cannot defeat skeptics simply by scolding them as ‘ignorant fools’, same time talking nonsense unscientific ‘dynamic’ theories about homeopathy.
Merely ‘showing’ “efficacy of homeopathic medicines”, or establishing some “research centers” will not be enough to ‘prove’ homeopathy as a ‘medical science’. For that, somebody should explain homeopathy in a way fitting to existing scientific knowledge system, using scientific paradigms, and prove such explanations through scientific methods.
Not only those ‘anti-homeopathic’ skeptics, but many “qualified and competent homeopathic physicians ” also talk a lot of nonsense foolish theories of “dynamic science” about homeopathy. Actually, it is those ‘foolish theories’ of such people that provide ammunition to skeptics for attacking homeopathy. You should know, even the propagator of ‘hair transmission homeopathy is a ‘great qualified and competent homeopathic physician’, having big ‘credentials’ and ‘authority’. In my opinion, such people do more harm to homeopathy than even skeptics.

During our foetus as well as neonatal stages, we get a lot of diverse types of antibodies from mother through maternal blood and breast milk.
Then, all through our life, ever new antibodies are produced in our body whenever any proteins alien to our genetic blue print enters our body, such as infectious agents, allergens, insect bites and the like. Cancer cells also produce proteins alien to our genetic blue print, and our body produce antibodies against them.
Though these antibodies are generated in our body to fight the attacks of alien proteins, those antibodies remain in our system life long. They can bind to off-target biological molecules and produce divers types of diseases, which we call ‘miasmatic diseases’, ‘auto immune diseases’ or ‘immunological diseases’. Most of the chronic diseases are now known to be caused by these ‘off-target’ actions of antibodies.
Hahnemann studied about chronic diseases caused by antibodies formed against itch, syphilis and human papiloma viruses. We cannot limit miasms to those three. I think miasms are innumerable, and trying to name them is unnecessary.
We have to understand, all these diverse types of antibodies could act as chronic miasms, which should be treated by drugs selected as similimum as well as appropriate nosodes or ‘molecular imprints of antibodies’.
Actually, antibodies are ‘globulin’ proteins in our body, subjected to ‘molecular imprinting’ by alien proteins. Exactly, the ‘epitopes’ of antigens are imprinted into ‘paratopes’ of antibodies.That is why each antibody showing specific affinity towards specific antigens.
Molecular imprints or potentized forms of antigens (epitopes) as well as molecular imprints of antibodies (peritopes) can act as anti-miasmatic remedies. That is why nosodes prepared from infectious agents as well as disease products are effective

Due to deficiency of basic scientific knowledge in biochemistry, molecular biology, supra-molecular chemistry and such other essential subjects, some homeopaths utterly fail to comprehend my explanations of homeopathy in terms of ‘molecular imprinting’ and ‘bio-molecular inhibitions. Some of them are pathetically below even high school level in their science lessons. For them, ‘organon’ and ‘chronic diseases’ are the ultimate scientific texts, hahnemann is the greatest ever scientist, and homeopathy is the ultimate science. They prefer to live in their 250 year old knowledge environment, and hesitate to update themselves. They simply fight tooth-and-nail to safe guard ‘true homeopathy’ from the ‘malignant’ influence of my ‘un-homeopathic theories’. It is difficult to communicate with them.
——————————————————————
Some homeopaths seem to be very much obsessed with ‘single/multiple’ drug issue. For them it is an issue of ‘fundamental’ or ‘cardinal’ principles in homeopathy, that decides whether one is a ‘true’ homeopath or not.
Actually, it is a non-issue, once you perceive drugs in terms of constituent molecules and their functional groups. Obsessive discussing of ‘single-poly’ drug issue indicates deficiency of fundamental scientific knowledge.
From scientific point of view, all ‘multi-molecular’ drugs are ‘polymedicine’, even though you imagine and use it as ‘single’ drug.
—————————————————————-
Identifying the molecular level pathology underlying diseases by observing subjective and objective symptoms of patients, identifying the exact molecular targets of drug substances by observing the symptoms they could produce in healthy individuals, determining medicines for particular patients by comparing their ‘symptoms’ with ‘symptoms’ of diseases, curing diseases by removing pathological molecular inhibitions in the organism using ‘molecular imprints’ of drug molecules having ‘functional groups’ similar to those of pathological molecules- this is the scientific meaning of ‘similia similibus curentur’.
Once the scientific community recognize this real ‘science’ behind homeopathy, they will realize that homeopathy is an advanced branch of ‘molecular medicine’, capable of showing the way for future advancement of medical science as a whole. THEY CANNOT IGNORE THIS GREAT TRUTH FOR EVER!
————————————————————–
In the process of homeopathy evolving into a full-fledged medical system of modern times, we will have to discard many things from what we have so far learned and believed to be ‘indispensable’, if they do not agree with scientific knowledge system.
To accept the idea of a solar system with earth and other planets revolving around sun, even though after a long period of stubborn resistance, humanity had to abandon the age-old concept that sun revolves around earth. The concept of ‘flat earth’ was abandoned once it was proved that earth is a ‘globe’. Any learning involves unlearning also. That is the way human knowledge advances.
If you are not ready to abandon certain things you studied and believed as integral part of homeopathy earlier, you cannot understand or accept the scientific explanations I am proposing. Without such an unlearning, you cannot perceive potentization as molecular imprinting. You cannot perceive disease in terms of molecular inhibitions. You cannot perceive curative process in terms of removal of molecular inhibitions. You cannot perceive drugs in terms of constituent molecules and functional groups.
Without unlearning old lessons, you will go on resisting new ideas tooth-and-nail, to safe guard your cherished beliefs such as ‘homeopathy is ultimate science’, ‘our master is the greatest ever scientist’, ‘homeopathic drugs act by dynamic energy’, ‘vital force theory’, ‘laws and principles of homeopathy are eternally immutable’, and so on. You will go on arguing about what master said about miasms, single drug and single dose. You will go on asking people to ‘read organon and chronic diseases’ whenever hard questions are asked. You will continue to remain ridiculed as ‘intellectual morons’ in front of the scientific community.

Those who claim to ‘prove’ drugs in ‘high’ potencies are requested to submit themselves to a simple experiment to convince it to the world. We shall administer different well-known ‘polychrest’ drugs to 10 apparently ‘healthy individuals’ selected by you. You can decide the potency, number and frequency of doses to be administered, so that you can induce proving. But, you will be kept blind regarding the names of drugs used, as well as who received which drug. You should identify the drugs given to each individual by observing the symptoms produced in them due to ‘proving’, and comparing them with our existing materia medica. If you succeed in identifying at least 50% drugs, it will be considered as a proof for ‘high potency proving’. If you fail, you should agree to stop talking about ‘proving’ high potency drugs. ARE YOU READY?
—————————————————————————-
Once we administer a dose of potentized drug, Molecular Imprints contained in it permeates into the biological fluids, and scavenges the whole body. When the molecular imprints come in contact with exogenous or endogenous molecules having functional groups similar to those of constituent molecules of drug substances used for potentization, they binds to those molecules due to their complementary configurational affinity. By this binding, molecular imprints entraps pathological molecules and deactivates them, thereby removing the molecular inhibitions that caused pathological conditions. Same time, molecular imprints cannot interfere the interactions between biological molecules and their natural ligands which have stronger configurational as well as charge affinities between them, which ensures that molecular imprints cannot act as pathological agents in any circumstances.
——————————————————————-
Potentized drug is actually an ’empty solution’-a solution from which ‘solute’ is completely removed, without disturbing the hydration shells. An ’empty solution’ is different from a ‘virgin solvent’. It contains ‘molecular imprints’ of solute molecules, imprinted into the supra-molecular matrix of solvent molecules as three-dimensional nanocavities. These molecular imprints are the active principles of this ’empty solution’, which can bind to and deactivate pathogenic molecules similar in configuration to ‘solute’ molecules, in capacity of configurational affinity
———————————————————
Once you learn to perceive diseases in terms of molecular inhibitions, drugs in terms of constituent functional groups, symptoms in terms of underlying molecular errors, potentization in terms of molecular imprinting, potentized drugs in terms of constituent molecular imprints, similimum in terms of similarity of functional groups, and cure in terms of removal of molecular inhibitions- you become a full-fledged scientific homeopath. You can see every thing in a new scientific light. You become capable of answering any questions anybody ask about homeopathy. You become theoretically strong enough to defend homeopathy from any attack from anti-homeopathic skeptics from side, as well as anti-scientific energy medicine ‘homeopaths’ from the other side.
————————————————————
‘Unlearning’ is an essential part of ‘learning’. Without going through a conscious process of self ‘unlearning’, you cannot learn or accept what I say about scientific homeopathy. If you are not willing to unlearn yourself, it means you are not willing to learn anything new. In such a mindset, I know, I cannot convince you through arguments.
Our consciousness is the sum total of what we have learned and experienced in the past. They form our ‘beliefs’. ‘ Beliefs’ are rock like sedimentation of acquired knowledge. Beliefs act as an intellectual barricade which try to prevent us from acquiring new knowledge that may contradict existing beliefs. By ‘unlearning’, I mean breaking of this stone wall of beliefs. Without that, we cannot learn new things.
—————————————————–
I think there a lot of very important secondary questions to be answered, which could be accomplished only after we reach a consensus regarding certain fundamental questions. In my opinion, fundamental questions to be answered are three:
1. What is the exact process happening during potentizatio?
2. What are the achieve principles of potentized drugs”
3. What is the molecular mechanism by which potentized drugs produces a therapeutic effect?
——————————————————
Appearance of new symptoms after application of potentized drugs is an indication that our prescription did not supply all the diverse types of molecular imprints required to remove all the diverse types molecular inhibitions existing in the patient.
———————————————————
If a drug substance contains more than ONE type of biologically active ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ as part of their constituent molecules, it is not a ‘SINGLE’ drug. It is a COMPOUND drug. If you cannot comprehend this simple scientific truth, you will go on talking about what ‘master’ said about ‘single’ drug and ‘multiple’ drugs in ORGANON 250 years ago!
————————————————————–
An elemental atom cannot have a ‘functional group’. An atom can be part of functional group of a complex molecule.
In organic chemistry, functional groups are ‘groups of atoms’ or bonds within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reaction(s) regardless of the size of the molecule it is a part of. However, its relative reactivity can be modified by nearby functional groups.
The word moiety is often used synonymously to “functional group,” but, according to the IUPAC definition, a moiety is a part of a molecule that may include either whole functional groups or parts of functional groups as substructures. For example, an ester (RCOOR’) has an ester functional group (COOR) and is composed of an alkoxy moiety (-OR’) and an acyl moiety (RCO-), or, equivalently, it may be divided into carboxylate (RCOO-) and alkyl (-R’) moieties. Each moiety may contain additional functional groups–for example, methyl para-hydroxybenzoate contains a phenol functional group within the acyl moiety.
——————————————————————-
Diseases, other than those originating from genuine nutritional deficiencies and genetic abnormalities, are caused by diverse types of exogenous or endogenous pathological molecules, which inhibit the normal actions of essential biological molecules by binding to them. Exactly, it is the ‘functional groups’ of pathological molecules that bind to biological molecules and produce pathological inhibitions, which are expressed through subjective and objective symptoms we call as ‘diseases’.
Constituent chemical molecules of a drug substance interact with our body by binding their diverse types of ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ with specific biological target molecules in our organism and modifying their actions. This interaction is determined by configurational as well as charge affinities between those functional groups and biological target molecules. It is the number of types of biologically active ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ available in a drug substance that decides whether it is a ‘single’ drug or ‘multiple’ drug.
Different types of ‘functional groups’ of individual molecules contained in a drug substance bind to different biological target molecules, and produce different types of modifications. It is this ‘modifying’ or ‘inhibitory’ actions that produce molecular states of pathologies during drug proving, which are expressed through diverse types of subjective and objective symptoms.
Similar functional groups being part of different drug molecules of even different drug substances can bind to same target molecules and produce similar bio-molecular modifications and similar symptoms.
When a drug molecule has functional groups or moieties similar to those of a pathological molecule, they can attack same biological targets, and symptoms they produce would be similar. In such a situation, the drug molecule is said to be ‘similimum’ to that pathological molecule. Obviously, according to scientific perspective, we should understand the concept of ‘similimum’ in terms of similarity of ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’ of pathological molecules and drug molecules.
Potentization is exactly a process of controlled ‘host-guest’ interactions, by which the three-dimensional configuration of ‘functional groups’ of individual constituent molecules of drug substances (host) are imprinted into a hydrogen-bonded supra-molecular matrix of water-ethyl alcohol molecules (guest) as ‘nanocavities’.
These nanocavities or ‘molecular imprints’ can bind to and deactivate any functional group having configuration similar to that of original ‘host’ molecule imprinted into it. As such, a potentized drug can act as biological antidote towards any pathological molecule, if the drug and disease were capable of producing ‘similar’ symptoms, which actually mean, they contain similar ‘functional groups’.
I hope, scientific meaning of ‘similia similibus curentur’ is well explained here, and scientifically viable answers provided for the THREE fundamental questions of homeopathy- what happens during potentization, what are the active principles of potentized drugs, and what is the exact molecular mechanism by which potentized drugs produce a therapeutic effect. Answers to all other secondary questions could be easily evolved once you comprehend these fundamental answers.
—————————————————————————-
A ‘TOTAL CURE PRESCRIPTION’ is a prescription that is expected to contain ALL the diverse types of ‘molecular imprints’ required to remove ALL the diverse types of molecular inhibitions existing in the patient, thereby offering a TOTAL CURE.
You cannot follow this concept unless you could perceive potentized drugs in terms of diverse types of independent molecular imprints contained in them, representing the diverse types of constituent molecules of original drug substance used for potentization. You should also perceive ‘patient’ in terms of diverse types of molecular inhibitions caused by diverse types of pathogenic molecules, and expressed as diverse groups of ‘symptoms’.
HOW I MAKE A ‘TOTAL CURE PRESCRIPTION’?
Collect ALL symptoms of the patient- all mentals, physical generals and particulars, with the ‘qualifications’ of each symptom regarding its peculiar presentations, locations, sensations, modalities, and concomitants.
Search repertorieis, and select appropriate rubrics for all the collected symptoms .
Classify the rubrics into uncommon, common, subjective, objective, mentals, physicals, generals and particulars. Assign grades.
First repertorize using only mentals and physical generals and prepare a list of top-ranking drugs. Compare their symptomatology using a good materia medica book and determine one or more constitutional drugs that would ‘collectively’ cover all the important mentals and general symptoms.
Arrange the particulars into appropriate groups on the basis of their pathological relationships, and repertorize the groups separately and determine similimum for each group.
Select anti-miasmatic nosodes if necessary, on the basis of history of infectious diseases, anaphylaxis and vaccinations of the patient.
Take all the selected constitutional and particular similimums as well as nosodes in 30 c potency, and mix them in a bottle in equal quantities. Do not bother about number of drugs, or drug relationships.
Administer in drop doses thrice or 2-3 hourly until acute complaints are relieved. Then continue medication once or twice daily, until CURE IS COMPLETE. One drop per one drug is my dosage.
Such a well-worked-out ‘TOTAL CURE’ prescription would CURE not only acute complaints, but the PATIENT in his TOTALITY with in a very short span of time.
—————————————————————
Collect all mentals, physical generals and particular symptoms of your patient, with all qualifications such as causations, sensations, locations, modalities and concomitants. Then grade the symptoms into uncommon, common, mental, physical general and particulars. Then repertorize. Compare the materia medica of drugs coming top in repertorization, and decide a similimum. That is the simple way of homeopathic practice- and the most successful way.
If a drug is similimum according to totality of symptoms, it does not matter whether that drug belongs to animal, mineral or plant kingdoms. It does not matter to which ‘sub kingdom’ or ‘family’ the drug belongs. Such a knowledge does not make any difference in your similimum.
Selecting similimum is most important in homeopathy. Similarity of symptoms is our guide in selecting similimum. All these talk about ‘kingdoms’, sub kingdoms, families and such things only contribute in making homeopathy complex, and confuse the young homeopaths. It may help in creating an aura around the teacher, which would attract people to seminars. That is not a silly thing, where money matters above homeopathy!
——————————————————————————
Any project claiming to be ‘fundamental research in homeopathy’ should be aimed at providing scientifically acceptable answers to the following ‘fundamental’ questions in homeopathy:
1. What is the actual process happening during potentization?
2. What are the exact active principles of potentized drugs?
3. What is the exact molecular level mechanism by which these active principles act upon the biological system and produce a therapeutic effect?
Without answering these fundamental questions in a way fitting to the existing scientific knowledge system, homeopathy cannot exist and advance as a ”medical science’ in the modern knowledge environment.
Central council for Research In Homeopathy (CCRH) should urgently take up projects to answer these fundamental questions, if they w
————————————————————–
I do not think the term ‘body language’ is something different from what we actually mean by ‘symptoms’. ALL symptoms are part of ‘language’ of the BODY, by which it expresses itself- by which it expresses the phenotype constitution as well as pathological molecular errors. For me, ‘body language’ means ‘symptoms’. Even Hahnemann said, ‘symptoms are language of the body’. All genuine homeopathic prescriptions are ‘body language prescriptions’, if you want to use that term. Those much advertised ‘body language method’, ‘facial analysis method’ and such things are only money making gimmicks of certain clever people, who are experts in the art of ‘brand building’ and commercializing homeopathy, and extracting easy money from aspiring young homeopaths by selling ‘courses’, ‘seminars’ and ‘packages’.
————————————————————
We should learn different types of ‘functional groups’ and ‘moieties’ of constituent molecules of our drug substances, as well as diverse types of pathogenic molecules.
We have to study our materia medica from this ‘functional group’ viewpoint, comparing symptoms of different drug molecules having same functional moieties.
Then we can logically explain our concepts regarding phenomena of ‘drug relationships’ such as complementary, inimical, antidoting etc..
We can explain the similarity of drugs belonging to different groups such as ‘calcarea’, ‘merc’, ‘kali’, ‘acid’, ‘sulph’, ‘mur’ etc. Such an approach will make our understanding of homeopathy more scientific and accurate.
——————————————————————
Except those substances of simple chemical formula belonging to mineral groups, most of the pathogenic agents as well as drug substances consist of complex organic molecules.
In the study of chemical interactions involving these complex organic molecules, understanding the concept of ‘functional groups’ is very important.
‘Functional groups’ are specific groups of atoms within large organic molecules that are responsible for their characteristic chemical reactions.
Different organic molecules having same functional group will interact with the same biological targets regardless of the size of the molecule it is a part of. However, its relative reactivity can be modified or influenced to an extent by nearby functional groups.
In the case of smaller molecules such as minerals, we use the concept ‘moiety’ instead of ‘functional group’. Even though the word moiety is often used synonymously to “functional group”, according to precise definition,a moiety is a part of a molecule that may include either whole functional groups or a parts of functional groups as substructures.
The atoms of functional groups are linked to each other and to the rest of the molecule by covalent bonds. When the group of covalently bound atoms bears a net charge, the group is referred to more properly as a polyatomic ion or a complex ion. Any subgroup of atoms of a compound also may be called a radical, and if a covalent bond is broken homolytically, the resulting fragment radicals are referred as free radicals.
All chemical processes in the biological systems are facilitated and controlled by the functional groups of the reactants.
—————————————————————-
It is to be specifically noted that same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the size or configuration of of the molecule it is a part of. However, its relative reactivity can be modified by nearby functional groups known as facilitating groups. That means, different types of drug molecules or pathogenic molecules having same functional groups and facilitating groups can bind to same biological molecules, and produce similar molecular inhibitions and symptoms.
Homeopathic principle of ‘similimum’ is well explained by this understanding. If a drug molecule can produce symptoms similar to symptoms of a particular disease, it means that the drug molecules and disease-causing molecules have same functional groups on them, by which they bind to same biological molecules. Obviously, similarity of symptoms means similarity of functional groups of pathogenic molecules and drug molecules. To be similimum, the whole molecules need not be similar, but similarity of functional groups is enough.
Potentized drugs would contain the molecular imprints of drug molecules, along with molecular imprints of their functional groups. These molecular imprints will have specific configurational affinity towards any molecule having same functional groups, and can bind and deactivate them.
———————————————————————–
To understand the real science behind the phenomena of ‘similia similibus curentur’, ‘drug proving’ and ‘potntization’, we should study drug substances in terms of not only their ‘constituent molecules’, but in terms of ‘functional groups’ and ‘moieties’ of those drug molecules.
A drug substance is composed of diverse types of drug molecules. A drug molecule interacts with ‘active groups’ of biological target molecules such as enzymes and receptors using their ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’. It is the ‘functional groups’ and ‘moieties’ on the individual drug molecules that decide to which biological molecules they can bind to and produce molecular inhibitions.
Different drug molecules with different size and structures, but having same ‘functional group’ or ‘moiety’ can bind to same biological molecules and produce similar molecular errors and similar groups of symptoms.
A drug molecule become similimum to a disease when the drug molecule and disease-producing molecule have same functional groups, so that they could bind to same biological targets producing same molecular errors and same symptom groups.
—————————————————————————–
All of us know, a single case could be treated and cured by different homeopaths by using entirely different drugs. There is nothing to wonder in this common experience, if you understand the role of ‘functional groups’ in causing and curing diseases. Potentized form of any drug which contain a chemical molecule bearing the required functional group can cure, whether it comes from drug A or drug B. That means, different drugs could act as ‘similimum’ for a particular case, if they can supply molecular imprints of functional groups involved in its pathology.
—————————————————————-
‘Similimum’ should be scientifically understood as a drug that contains certain chemical molecules bearing ‘functional groups’ similar to the functional groups of the pathological molecules which produced the particular molecular inhibitions in that patient.
Since similar functional groups can bind to same biological targets, produce similar molecular errors and similar symptoms, we use ‘similarity of symptoms’ to indirectly identify the exact functional groups and biological targets involved in a particular case of pathology.
Potentized drugs contain ‘molecular imprints’ of functional groups of constituent drug molecules, and these molecular imprints can bind to similar functional groups in capacity of complementary configurational affinity, and remove the pathological molecular inhibitions caused by them in the organism.
This is the scientific meaning of ‘Similia Similibus Curentur’.
Once you understand this scientific explanation of fundamental principle of homeopathy, you will see all ‘riddles’ and ‘miracles’ in homeopathy getting automatically unraveled for you .
——————————————————————
Exactly, homeopathy is based on two fundamental observations made by hahnemann regarding the process of cure-
1. Similia Similibus Curentur: Hahnemann observed through his experiments that diseases could be cured by extremely diluted forms of drug substances, which could produce symptoms similar to disease when applied in large doses in healthy individuals.
2. Potentization: Hahnemann developed a special process of preparing drugs by serial dilution and shaking, and observed that such expremely diluted drugs could act as therapeutic agents when applied according to similia similibus curentur
Due to the limitations imposed by the infantile stage of scientific knowledge available to him during that period, hahnemann could not formulate a viable hypothesis to explain his observation in a way fitting to the scientific knowledge system then existed. In fact, science was not properly equipped to provide a reasonable explanation for the phenomena hahnemann observed.
Instead of leaving his observations unexplained as it should have been truthfully done, hahnemann resorted to building up of a system of philosophical speculations and imaginative theorizations to explain them. May be since he found that the contemporary scientific paradigms were not sufficient for his purpose, he tried to develop a speculative philosophical system utilizing concepts such as ‘vital force’, ‘dynamic energy’ being part of spiritualistic philosophy existed then.
Obviously, this speculative part of homeopathy does not agree with scientific knowledge or its methods. As such, scientific community adopted a skeptical approach towards homeopathy. They totally denied the existence of even the fundamental observations of hahnemaan, whereas it would have been judicious to deny the theoretical explanations of homeopathy and asking for a more viable explanation for the phenomena hahnemann observed.
From a rational perspective, we have to logically differentiate between observational part of homeopathy from its speculative part. Observational part is objective experience, which forms the basis of practical application of similia similibus curentur and potentization. They should not be denied on the reason that hahnemann’s theoretical explanations contradict scientific knowledge.
According to me, inorder to promote scientific homeopathy, we have to address fllowing preliminary tasks:
1. Convince the scientific community that homeopathy works, through demonstrations and scientifically acceptable clinical studies.
2. Convince them the importance of differentiating objective observational part of homeopathy from the unscientific theoretical or explanatory part of homeopathy.
3. Propose a scientifically viable working hypothesis regarding how homeopathy works, in a way fitting to the existing scientific knowledge system.
4. Prove the propositions of this hypothesis using scientific methods, in a way undisputable to the scientific community.
While addressing this four-pointed fundamental tasks, scientific homeopathy will have to relentlessly fight against the negative-minded skeptics as well as pseudo-scientific energy medicine theoreticians of homeopathy.
We have to consistently tell the world, real homeopathy is entirely different from those nonsense the pseudoscientific homeopathic theoreticians preach and practice.
We have to understand and tell the homeopathic community that the negative-minded anti-homeopathic skeptics are entirely different from real scientific community.
———————————————————–
Can we change ‘constitutions’ by homeopathic treatment? Thi question is a frequently asked one in homeopathic circles. Some believe they can, some believe they cannot.
Constitution of an individual has a ‘genotype’ and ‘phenotype’ aspects. ‘Genotype’ is the genetic material inherited from previous generation. It cannot be changed by homeopathic drugs. If homeopathic drugs could have produced changes in genotype, it would have to labelled as a most dangerous medical system.
What we call as ‘constitutions’ and ‘constitutional symptoms’ in homeopathy actually deals with ‘phenotype’ aspects of constitution. Phenotype is decided by the way genes are expressed. ‘Genetic expression’ happens through a complex chain of biochemical processes, by which proteins are synthesized using the genetic blueprint involved in genotype.
Synthesizing of proteins in accordance with the genetic blueprints is mediated by diverse types of enzymes, and it requires diverse types of aminoacids and other biological molecules. Hence, genetic expression or ‘phenotype’ could be influenced by many factors such as nutrition, environment, emotions, drugs, and many such things that could inhibit or activate the enzyme systems involved in protein synthesis.
Obviously, we can change or influence the ‘phenotype’ or genetic expression, but we cannot change the basic genetic material of an individual. Any ‘constitutional’ changes we produce by homeopathic treatment are confined to phenotype changes, not genotype changes.
—————————————————————————-
Possibilities of potentized homeopathic medicines interacting with genetic substance in the organism is a subject of much concern, speculations and controversy among homeopaths. Such controversies arise from the lack of sufficient understanding regarding the active principles contained in potentized medicines, and their exact mechanism of action in the living system.
With our new scientific understanding of potentization as a process of molecular imprinting, we are now in a better position to answer these questions satisfactorily. Since, molecular imprints contained in the potentized homeopathic preparations cannot successfully compete with natural ligands in binding with their target molecules, we need not be concerned about the possibility of potentized homeopatic medicines dangerously interacting with genetic material in any way.
Molecular imprints contained in the potentized homeopathic preparations bind to ligands or biological molecules merely due to their complementary cofigurations without any charge affinity, whereas natural ligands bind to their biological target molecules in capacity of their appropriate spacial configurations as well as charge affinities. So, the bindings of molecular imprints with biological molecules or their ligands will be very temporary and cannot stay long. Such bindings of molecular imprints cannot replace the natural ligand-target interactions happening as part of vital processes. Molecular imprints can not compete with natural ligands in binding to their natural biological targets. Hence it is obvious that potentized homeopathic preparations cannot interfere in biological ‘ligand-target’ processes such as ‘substrate-enzyme’, ‘antigens-antibodies’, ‘signal-receptor’ etc. As such, chances of potentized homeopathic medicines acting as pathological agents are very rare even if used indiscriminately.
Molecular imprints can interfere only in interactions between pathogenic molecules and biological molecules, as well as off-target bindings of ligands with biological molecules, where only configurational affinity is involved. Obviously, molecular imprints can act upon only the molecular blocks created by exogenous or endogenous foreign pathological molecules.
At the same time, these molecular imprints can effectively compete with the pathogenic actions of deformed proteins that may result from genetic errors, thereby preventing them from creating pathological molecular blocks at various targets. As such, homeopathic medicines can play a great role even in the treatment of certain diseases of genetic origin, at least as palliatives.
More over, potentized homeopathic medicines can safeguard genetic material from dangerous mutations that may be caused the by inhibitory actions of endogenous or exogenous pathogenicl agents such as toxic drugs, heavy metals, super-oxides etc., on enzymes related with nucleic acid synthesis and genetic expressions.

Without a baseline knowledge of biochemistry- especially the mechanism of ‘ligand-target’ interactions of biological molecules, molecular basics of pathology, molecular inhibitions and dynamics of ‘cure’ as removal of molecular inhibitions, you cannot follow the scientific explanation of similia similibus curentur.
Without a scientific perspective of molecular composition of drug substances, and the molecular mechanism by which the drug substances interact with biological organism to produce pathological inhibitions and symptoms, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of drug proving.
Without getting yourselves introduced to the latest information regarding supra-molecular properties of water and ethyl alcohol, hydrogen bonding, hydration shells, supra-molecular nano-structures, guest-host complexes, molecular imprinting in polymers and related subjects, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of potentization in terms of ‘molecular imprinting’.
Scientific understanding of homeopathy, similar to any rational science of medicine, should be primarily based on the realization of ‘life’ as a ‘material’ phenomenon. Living world represents a higher level of organization of same elemental factors existing in the non-living world, an advanced stage of its evolution that happened through millions of years.
‘Living organism’ is a highly complex and self-regulated material system that exists through ‘vital processes’ or metabolic processes, consisting of systematic chains of inter-dependant biochemical pathways of complex molecular interactions, enabling an unhindered flow and conversion of matter and energy between organism and its environment that ensures the existence of life.
Phenomena of ‘mind’ and ‘mental faculties’ are the ‘functional’ products of complex biochemical molecular processes happening in the central nervous system, which is an integral part of ‘body’, and as such, mind has no existence free from the material body.
If you cannot understand this basic scientific perspective of ‘life’, ‘vital processes’ and ‘mind’, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of homeopathy.
In the absence of these essential basic scientific knowledge, you will go on talking about ‘energy medicine’, vital force, dynamic drug energy, spiritual healing, vibrations, resonance, distance healing and such diverse unscientific and pseudo-scientific things, and continue to make homeopathy and homeopaths a subject of unending mockery and ridicule before the scientific community. And of course, you will go on declaring homeopathy is the ultimate science, hahnemann is the greatest scientist, and modern science is lagging far behind homeopathy!

If you are using similumum, why should you use it as mother tincture? if you are using mother tincture not as similimum, how can you claim you are doing homeopatjy? most homeopaths use MT allopathically
During earlier stages of evolution of homeopathy, before the invenrion of potentization, hahnemann used mother tinctures of similimum. After the invention of potentization, he stopped it.
In my opinion, similimum will act in mother tincture form also, but since they contain original drug molecules, there is chances for off target molecular inhibitions which will cause un expected bad effects.
Drugs potentized above 12c contain only molecular imprints, and cannot cause bad effects. I think only potentized drugs could be considered genuine homeopathy.

My special request to Homeopathy students:
Please be careful not to get confused and distracted by reading my articles. As a student, exam is very important for you. Study what is taught in college, face exams and get your degree. Then you can think about what I am saying about scientific homeopathy.
———————————————————
What are exactly the active principles of potentized drugs? What is the molecular mechanism by which these active principles interact with organism and produce a therapeutic effect?
I think these are the fundamental question to be addressed while trying to make homeopathy a scientific medical system. The answer we provide should be capable of explaining the time-proven experiences of homeopathic practice, same time fitting to the existing scientific knowledge system. Most importantly, it should be provable with scientific methods.
I was trying to explain homeopathic potentization on the basis of modern technology of ’molecular imprinting’, and ‘similia similibus curentur’ on the basis scientific understanding regarding molecular mechanism of resolving pathologic molecular inhibitions involved in therapeutics.
According to my concept, potentization involves a process of molecular imprinting in water, exactly similar to ‘molecular imprinting in polymers’. During this process, constituent drug molecules contained in drug substances are ‘imprinted’ into the supra-molecular matrix of water-ethyl alcohol mixture, generating three-dimensional nanocavities that can act as artificial ‘targets’ for pathological ligands that have configurations similar to the drug molecules used for imprinting. These ‘molecular imprints’, when introduced into the organism can selectively bid to the pathological molecules having complementary configurational affintity, thereby relieving the biological molecules from pathological molecular inhibitions. This is the most rational and logical explanation of molecular dynamics of homeopathic therapeutics.
—————————————————————–
Molecular Imprinted Drugs Will Provide A Converging Point For Homeopathy And Modern Molecular Medicine.
In a far distant historical perspective, I foresee the possibility of converging of modern medicine and homeopathy into a universal molecular medical science of ‘drug-less therapy’, where only molecular imprints will be used as therapeutic agents.
Modern Medicine is gradually evolving into ‘Molecular Medicine’. Molecular Medicine studies vital processes and diseases at molecular level, and deals therapeutics as an art and science of molecular level repairing.
Molecular medicine is the most advanced, most scientific and most recently originated discipline in modern medical science. It is a broad field, where physical, chemical, biological and medical techniques are used to describe molecular structures and mechanisms, identify fundamental molecular and genetic errors of pathology, and to develop molecular interventions to correct those errors.
‘Molecular Medicine’ emphasizes disease and cure in terms of cellular and molecular phenomena and interventions rather than the conceptual and observational focus on patients and their organs common to conventional medicine.
Molecular Medicine studies drug substances in terms of their molecular level structure and organization, and is more and more relying upon target-specific Designer Drugs synthesized by drug designing technology, supported by computer aided designing protocols.
Drug Designing Technology has recently started exploring the possibilities of Molecular Imprinting in the development of target-specific designer drugs. They are now experimenting for developing bio-friendly imprinting matrices and imprinting protocols, so as to prepare artificial binding surfaces for pathogenic molecules that could be utilized as therapeutic agents.
Even though not yet recognized as such, homeopathic potentization is a process of molecular imprinting, where artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules are produced by imprinting drug molecules into water-ethyl alcohol supra-molecular matrices. Homeopathy identifies pathological molecular errors and selects the appropriate molecular imprints through a peculiar technique of ‘comparing symptoms’, which is expressed as the therapeutic principle, ‘simila similibus curentur’
Most probably, modern molecular medicine and drug designing technology is in the new future going to explore the possibilities of water as a molecular imprinting medium as part of their search for novel substances to be utilized as imprinting matrix.
It means, Modern Molecular Medicine is slowly advancing towards the realization of a drug designing technology that homeopathy invented as ‘potentization’ and utilized for preparing therapeutic agents 250 years ago. It is based on this understanding that I try to propagate the concept that ‘Homeopathy is Molecular Imprinting Therapeutics- An Advanced Branch of Molecular Medicine.
In a far distant historical perspective, I foresee the possibility of converging of modern medicine and homeopathy into a universal molecular medical science of ‘drug-less therapy’, where only molecular imprints will be used as therapeutic agents. Instead of our present ‘potentization’, modern science may develop more sophisticated ways of molecular imprinting, that would enable us to produce therapeutic agents more specific and perfect than our present day ‘potentized drugs’.
May be be distant dream. But it is a dream based on scientific knowledge.

During my 40+ years of experience with learning, applying and experimenting with homeopathy, I could never come across with a single individual of ‘pure’ sulphur, calc, lyco or any other drug constitutions. Everybody has ‘mixed’ constitutions, which requires multiple drugs. Some individuals are ‘prominently’ lyco or ‘prominently’ calc- that is all. He will have many symptoms that are not covered by that prominent ‘constitutional’ drug, but indicate some other ‘constitutions’ also. As such, it is a utopian dream to ‘cure’ an individual in his ‘totality’ with a ‘single’ constitutional drug. More over, even those so-called ‘single’ drugs are actually not ‘single’ is you imagine, but contains diverse types of individual drug molecules with specific chemical and biological properties, and hence, are compound drugs.
You can understand the meaning of this statement only if you could perceive drug substances in terms of constituent molecules, and ‘symptoms’ in terms in terms of underlying bio-molecular processes.
—————————————————————–
Use of crataegus, cactus, digitalis and such drugs in crude form as ‘cardiac tonics’ is not the invention of homeopathy, but belongs to old school, which were later discarded by them due to bad long term effects. These drugs were subjected to homeopathic proving later, and incorporated into homeopathic materia medica. If you read the provings and materia medica of those drugs carefully, you can see they are not safe for our heart. Symptoms in our materia medica are actually the ‘diseases’ that could be produced by consuming those drugs in crude form. For applying them homeopathically, we should prescribe for those symptoms, in potentized form or ‘molecular imprints’ form. Using mother tinctures is no way different from allopathy.
See MM of CRATAEGUS:
“Produces giddiness, lowered pulse, and air hunger and reduction in blood-pressure. ·Myocarditis. ·Failing compensation. ·Irregularity of heart. ·Insomnia of aortic sufferers; anaemia; oedema; cutaneous chilliness.
·High arterial tension.
Chronic heart disease, with extreme weakness. ·Very feeble and irregular heart action. ·General anasarca. ·Very nervous, with pain in back of head and neck. ·Haemorrhage from bowels. ·Cold extremities, pallor; irregular pulse and breathing. ·Painful sensation of pressure in left side of chest below the clavicle. ·Dyspepsia and nervous prostration, with heart failure.
Cardiac dropsy. ·Fatty degeneration. ·Aortic disease. ·Extreme dyspnoea on least exertion, without much increase of pulse. ·Pain in region of heart and under left clavicle. ·Heart muscles seem flabby, worn out. ·Cough.
Heart dilated; first sound weak. ·Pulse accelerated, irregular, feeble, intermittent. ·Valvular murmurs, angina pectoris. ·Cutaneous chilliness, blueness of fingers and toes; all aggravated by exertion or excitement.
Diabetes, especially in children. ”
These are some of the symptoms ‘produced in healthy individuals’ by using crude forms of crataegus. If we could produce such serious pathologies during proving of that drug, it could be produced in anybody when we use it in MT or low potency forms. If you are a real homeopath, you should use only potentized forms of crategus for disease conditions having such a symptom picture.

In a human being having average nutrition, ‘deficiency’ of minerals happens not from lack of supply, but due to some errors in biological processes involved in various stages of digestion, absorption, assimilation, transportation, conversion actual utilization of those minerals contained in food articles. Such secondary deficiencies cannot be rectified with extra ‘supply’. We have to remove the molecular errors in related biochemical pathways, not by using potentized minerals, but by using potentized similimum selected on the basis of totality of symptoms
If you are using ‘biochemic salts’ for supplying ‘deficiecies’, do homeopaths ever examine the body fluids to confirm ‘deficiency’ of particular mineral before using them? Do you ever consider the chances of intoxication that may be caused by ‘excess’ minerals?
Exactly, homeopathy is based on two fundamental observations made by hahnemann regarding the process of cure-
1. Similia Similibus Curentur: Hahnemann observed through his experiments that diseases could be cured by extremely diluted forms of drug substances, which could produce symptoms similar to disease when applied in large doses in healthy individuals.
2. Potentization: Hahnemann developed a special process of preparing drugs by serial dilution and shaking, and observed that such expremely diluted drugs could act as therapeutic agents when applied according to similia similibus curentur
Due to the limitations imposed by the infantile stage of scientific knowledge available to him during that period, hahnemann could not formulate a viable hypothesis to explain his observation in a way fitting to the scientific knowledge system then existed. In fact, science was not properly equipped to provide a reasonable explanation for the phenomena hahnemann observed.
Instead of leaving his observations unexplained as it should have been truthfully done, hahnemann resorted to building up of a system of philosophical speculations and imaginative theorizations to explain them. May be since he found that the contemporary scientific paradigms were not sufficient for his purpose, he tried to develop a speculative philosophical system utilizing concepts such as ‘vital force’, ‘dynamic energy’ being part of spiritualistic philosophy existed then.
Obviously, this speculative part of homeopathy does not agree with scientific knowledge or its methods. As such, scientific community adopted a skeptical approach towards homeopathy. They totally denied the existence of even the fundamental observations of hahnemaan, whereas it would have been judicious to deny the theoretical explanations of homeopathy and asking for a more viable explanation for the phenomena hahnemann observed.
From a rational perspective, we have to logically differentiate between observational part of homeopathy from its speculative part. Observational part is objective experience, which forms the basis of practical application of similia similibus curentur and potentization. They should not be denied on the reason that hahnemann’s theoretical explanations contradict scientific knowledge.
According to me, inorder to promote scientific homeopathy, we have to address fllowing preliminary tasks:
1. Convince the scientific community that homeopathy works, through demonstrations and scientifically acceptable clinical studies.
2. Convince them the importance of differentiating objective observational part of homeopathy from the unscientific theoretical or explanatory part of homeopathy.
3. Propose a scientifically viable working hypothesis regarding how homeopathy works, in a way fitting to the existing scientific knowledge system.
4. Prove the propositions of this hypothesis using scientific methods, in a way undisputable to the scientific community.
While addressing this four-pointed fundamental tasks, scientific homeopathy will have to relentlessly fight against the negative-minded skeptics as well as pseudo-scientific energy medicine theoreticians of homeopathy.
We have to consistently tell the world, real homeopathy is entirely different from those nonsense the pseudoscientific homeopathic theoreticians preach and practice.
We have to understand and tell the homeopathic community that the negative-minded anti-homeopathic skeptics are entirely different from real scientific community.

”Do not prescribe for the disease- prescribe for the patient”- this is a much quoted and much misunderstood cliche in homeopathy. What does it actually mean? I think we have to ponder over.
This statement is is understood in different ways by different homeopaths.
Some homeopaths understand it as ‘forget the disease, treat the person’. According to them, whatever the complaints the person heve, his constitutional similimum selected on the basis of physical generals and mentals is enough to remove all his ailments and bring him back to total cure. They call it ‘constitutional’ approach or ‘holistic’ approach. Some people with extreme approach believe we can cure with only ‘mental’ or even ‘sensational’ similimum. According to this people, if the patient is calc constitution, we should prescribe it only, whatever be the ailments- headache, digestive upset, piles, eczema, allergy, acute cold or anything else.
In my opinion, “prescribe not for the disease- prescribe for the patient” should be understood in a different way.
If we try to prescribe on the basis of a disease diagnosis only, it is ‘prescribing for the disease’. Same time, if we prescribe on the basis of totality of symptoms specifically expressed by the individual ‘patient’, it is ‘prescribing for the patient’.
Prescribing for a ‘headache’ on the basis of diagnosis of ‘migraine’ is ‘prescribing for disease’. Exactly, the homeopath should prescribe for the specific ‘patient’. If we collect the locations, sensations, modalities and concomitants of that ‘migraine’ in that particular patient and find a similimum, it is not prescribing for disease- it is a prescription for that ‘patient’. You cannot expect that prescription to cure a ‘migraine’ of another person. He will need another similimum based on his symptoms.
In my opinion, “prescribe not for the disease- prescribe for the patient” should be understood in this way. It doses not mean ignoring the ailments of the patient, and prescribing for his ‘constitution’.
A young homeopath asked me to suggest a drug for his patient with ‘violent knee pain’. When I asked him to provide symptoms, he said: “patient gives no other symptoms”. I get many such requests from young homeopaths daily.
An unqualified symptom is of no use in selecting a similimum.
I told him, we should get detailed symptoms for making a prescription: For example, he has knee pain(expression), right knee(location), swelling and redness(expression), throbbing pain(sensatin), relieved by warm application(modality) and rest(modality), worse by motion(modality), walking(modality), pain extending to heels(concomitants), it is a clear picture. We can prescribe.
‘No symptoms’ only means, we failed to collect symptoms. Collecting symptoms is an art, which needs great talent, creativity and observational and communication skills.
Once the patient reports a symptom, do not leave that symptom without collecting maximum information regarding that symptoms, such as its causations, expressions, locations, sensations, modalities and concomittants.
Same time, we should be careful not to break the flow of narrations by interfering with frequent questions. It would be ideal to allow the patient to complete his narrations uninterrupted, and then return back to each symptom and interrogate the patient to collect the qualifications.
Even a single symptom, if with all its qualifications, will by itself provide a strong foundation for a reliable prescription.
For example, if the patient has a headache (expressions), in forehead(location), bursting pains(sensations), amelioration by cold applications and sleep(modalities), aggravated during menses(modalities), with vomiting(concomitants) and blurred vision(concomitants), we can make a prescription for her headache without considering generals or mentals. Such a prescription will relieve the headache instantly.
If the complaints recur, we will have to find her constitutional similimum using physical generals and mentals, which will cure her permanently.
Homeopathic prescribing is an art of individualization. But ‘individualization’ should not be understood as prescribing ‘constitutional similimum’ always. Individualization exactly means finding a similimum considering the symptoms expressed by the patient in their totality. Qualified symptoms is the key to successful individualization of a case.
”Do not prescribe for the disease- prescribe for the patient” indicates the importance of this individualization. It does not mean ‘prescribe constitutional drugs’ only.
———————————————————————-
Most homeopaths understand homeopathy is a closed system of eternally immutable ‘laws’, ‘rules’, ‘principles’ and ‘methods’ every ‘true’ homeopath is bound to ‘obey’. They believe in ‘seven cardinal principles of hahnemann’, ‘hering laws’, ‘kents observations’ and many other ‘theories’ that rule the practice of homeopathy. Anybody violating or thinking beyond these ‘fundamental laws’ are considered to be ‘wrong homeopaths’. That is why they advise me not to use the term ‘homeopathy’ if I do not abide by the ‘fundamental principles.
We should remember, no ‘masters’ so far knew what really happens during potentization. Nobody so far knew what are the exact active principles of potentized drugs. Nobody so far knew the exact molecular level mechanism by which the active principles of potentized drugs interact with the biological organism and produce a therapeutic effect. Only things our masters actually knew was the objective natural phenomena of ‘likes curing likes’ and ‘high dilution effects’.
Everything else were mere speculations. Speculations based on unscientific philosophy of ‘dynamism’ and ‘vitalism’. All ‘laws’, ‘rules’, ‘methods’ and ‘doctrines’ we consider as ‘cardinal principles of homeopathy evolved from these speculative theories. All ‘directions’ regarding ‘doses’, repetitions’, ‘single drugs’, ‘follow ups’ and everything else were formulated without clearly knowing the substances we are actually dealing with or how they actually work. They were based on misinterpreted ‘experiences’ of ‘stalwarts’ with historically limited scientific knowledge.
Once we acquire scientific knowledge regarding the exact processes involved in potentization, active principles of potentized drugs and the molecular mechanism of their therapeutic action, all the existing ‘methods’, ‘laws’, ‘rules’ and ‘principles’ are bound to change. New ‘principles’ and ‘methods’will evolve.
What ever I talk about ‘principles’ and ‘methods’ of homeopathic practice such as ‘dose’ and ‘repetitions’ are based on my scientific understanding of potentization as ‘molecular imprinting’, active principles of potentized drugs as ‘molecular imprints’, and homeopathic therapeutics as removal of biochemical inhibitions. Unless you understand the concept ‘molecular imprinting’ of potentization and biochemistry of therapeutics, you are bound to fail to understand everything I say.
Acquiring a scientific understanding of the phenomena involved in ‘similia similibus curentur’ and ‘potentization’, and applying that knowledge judiciously for curing the sick- that should be the only ‘fundamental rule’ that guide a homeopath.
‘Likes cures likes’ and ‘high dilution effects’ represent the objective part of homepathy, which are concerned with truthful observations of natural phenomena involved in the process of ‘cure’. This is the strong and rational aspect of homeopathy that have to be preserved, explored and advanced into more and more perfection.
The theoretical explanatory part of homeopathy, which is based on totally unscientific and irrational philosophy of ‘dynamism’ and ‘vitalism’ of eighteenth century europe, as well as the ‘rules’, ‘laws’ and ‘methods’ formulated accordingly, is the real stumbling block that prevents this wonderful therapeutic art from advancing into a scientific medical system.
We have to preserve and strengthen the rational objective aspect of homeopathy, and explain it in terms of modern scientific knowledge. We should show the audacity to discard its irrational and unscientific theoretical parts. Once we understand the real science involved in the phenomena of ‘likes cure likes’ and ‘potentization’, a whole new set of practical ‘rules’ and ‘laws’ would spontaneously evolve.
————————————————————————–
It is wrong if anybody think I have proposed ‘some theories’ about homeopathy. I have proposed only ‘viable working hypothesis that could be presented as a candidate for scientific verification’. You have to know the difference between ‘hypothesis’ and ‘theory’. My hypothesis would become a theory only when it is proved by ‘scientific methods’.
Can anybody claim there is any ‘scientifically verified theory’ in homeopathy? What you say ‘fundamental principles’ of homeopathy are not even ‘scientific hypotheses’.
Did anybody prove ‘similia similibus curentur’ by scientific methods? Did anybody prove potentization through scientific methods? Did anybody prove ‘suppressions’, hering laws or any such things by ‘scientific methods’? Did anybody prove ‘vital force’ and ‘dynamic drug energy’ with any ‘scientific trials? NEVER! They are all mere speculative theorizations, without any scientific validity.
We have to prove similia similibus curentur and potentization with scientific methods. For that, first of all we have to propose a ‘working hypothesis’ that ‘fits well to the existing scientific knowledge system. Then we have to prove that hypothesis through ‘scientific methods’. Then only it will become a theory, and homeopathy become a science.
MIT is the working hypothesis i propose for homeopathy. It is the FIRST ‘scientific hypothesis’ being proposed during the 250 year history of homeopathy. First try to understand it before declaing it is ‘ridiculous’.
——————————————————————————
You cannot ‘save’ homeopathy with noisy slogans or mass mobilizations. You cannot ‘save’ homeopathy with facebook polls. You cannot ‘save’ homeopathy using quotes from luminaries who supported it. To ‘save’ homeopathy, homeopaths should first of al stop talking nonsense ‘spiritualistic’ ‘energy medicine’ theories about homeopathy. They should explain homeopathy in scientific terms, and prove it according to scientific methods, in a way fitting to the modern scientific knowledge system, and in a way understandable and acceptable to scientific community. You cannot ‘save’ homeopathy in this advanced modern knowledge environment, using your 250 year old pre-scientific theories and ‘anti-scientific’ intellectual gimmicks. To save homeopathy, first of all we have to save it from the hands of ‘insane’ unscientific propagators.
——————————————————————————–
To understand the real science behind the phenomena of ‘similia similibus curentur’, ‘drug proving’ and ‘potntization’, we should study drug substances in terms of not only their ‘constituent molecules’, but in terms of ‘functional groups’ and ‘moieties’ of those drug molecules. A drug substance is composed of diverse types of drug molecules. A drug molecule interacts with ‘active groups’ of biological target molecules such as enzymes and receptors using their ‘functional groups’ or ‘moieties’. It is the ‘functional groups’ and ‘moieties’ on the individual drug molecules that decide to which biological molecules they can bind to and produce molecular inhibitions. Different drug molecules with different size and structures, but having same ‘functional group’ or ‘moiety’ can bind to same biological molecules and produce similar molecular errors and similar groups of symptoms. A drug molecule become similimum to a disease when the drug molecule and disease-producing molecule have same functional groups, so that they could bind to same biological targets producing same molecular errors and same symptom groups.
Drug molecules act upon the biological molecules in the organism by binding their ‘functional groups’ to the active groups on the complex biological molecules such as receptors and enzymes. These molecular interactions are determined by the affinity between functional groups or moieties of drug molecules and active sites of biological molecules. Here, the functional groups of drug molecules are called ‘ligands’, and the biological molecules are called ‘targets’. Ligand-target interaction is determined by a peculiar ‘key-lock’ relationship due to complementary configurational affinities.
It is to be specifically noted that same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the size or configuration of of the molecule it is a part of. However, its relative reactivity can be modified by nearby functional groups known as facilitating groups. That means, different types of drug molecules or pathogenic molecules having same functional groups and facilitating groups can bind to same biological molecules, and produce similar molecular inhibitions and symptoms. Homeopathic principle of ‘similimum’ is well explained by this understanding. If a drug molecule can produce symptoms similar to symptoms of a particular disease, it means that the drug molecules and disease-causing molecules have same functional groups on them, by which they bind to same biological molecules.
Obviously, similarity of symptoms means similarity of functional groups of pathogenic molecules and drug molecules. To be similimum, the whole molecules need not be similar, but similarity of functional groups is enough.
Potentized drugs would contain the molecular imprints of drug molecules, along with molecular imprints of their functional groups. These molecular imprints will have specific configurational affinity towards any molecule having same functional groups, and can bind and deactivate them.
According to the scientific definition proposed by Dialectical Homeopathy, ‘Similia Similibus Curentur’ means:
“If a drug substance in crude form is capable of producing certain groups of symptoms in a healthy human organism, that drug substance in potentized form can cure diseases having similar symptoms”.
Potentization is explained in terms of molecular imprinting. As per this concept, potentized drugs contains diverse types of molecular imprints representing diverse types of constituent molecules contained in the drug substances used for potentization.
In other words, “potentized drugs can cure diseases having symptoms similar to those produced by that drug in healthy organism if applied in crude forms”.
Homeopathy is based on the therapeutic principle of ‘similia similibus curentur’, which scientifically means “endogenous or exogenous pathogenic molecules that cause diseases by binding to the biological molecules can be entrapped and removed using molecular imprints of drug molecules which in molecular form can bind to the same biological molecules, utilizing the complementary configurational affinity between molecular imprints and pathogenic molecules”.
So far, we understood ‘Similia Similibus Curentur’ as ‘similarity of symptoms produced by drugs as well as diseases’. According to modern scientific understanding, we can explain it as ‘similarity of molecular errors produced by drug molecules and pathogenic molecules’ in the organism.
To be more exact, that means ‘similarity of molecular configurations of pathogenic molecules and drug molecules’. Potentized drugs contains ‘molecular imprints’ of constituent molecules of drug used for potentization. ‘Molecular imprints’ are three-dimensional negatives of molecules, and hence they would have a peculiar affinity towards those molecules, due to their complementary configuration. ‘Molecular imprints’ would show this complementary affinity not only towards the molecules used for imprinting, but also towards all molecules that have configurations similar to those molecules. Homeopathy utilizes this phenomenon, and uses molecular imprints of drug molecules to bind and entrap pathogenic molecules having configurations similar to them.
Similarity of configurations of drug molecules and pathogenic molecules are identified by evaluating the ‘similarity of symptoms’ they produce in organism during drug proving and disease. This realization is the the basis of scientific understanding of homeopathy I propose.
To be ‘similar’ does not mean pathological molecule and drug molecules should be similar in their ‘whole’ molecular structure. To bind to same targets, similarity of ‘functional groups’ or even a ‘moeity’ is enough. If the adjacent groups that facilitate binding with targets are also same, similarity becomes more perfect. If a drug molecule could produce symptoms similar to a disease, that means the drug molecules contains some functional groups simialr to those of pathogenic molecules that caused the disease. By virtue of these similar functional groups, both pathogenic molecules and drug molecules could bind to same biological targets, producing similar molecular errors and symptoms in the organism.
Molecular imprints of similar functional groups will also be similar. As such, potentized forms of a drug substance can bind and deactivate the pathogenic molecules having similar functional groups. This is the real molecular mechanism of ‘similia similibus curentur’.
Except those substances of simple chemical formula belonging to mineral groups, most of the pathogenic agents as well as drug substances consist of complex organic molecules. In the study of chemical interactions involving these organic molecules, understanding the concept of ‘functional groups’ is very important. ‘Functional groups’ are specific groups of atoms within large organic molecules that are responsible for their characteristic chemical reactions. Different organic molecules having same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the size of the molecule it is a part of. However, its relative reactivity can be modified or influenced to an extent by nearby functional groups.
Even though the word moiety is often used synonymously to “functional group”, according to the IUPAC definition,a moiety is a part of a molecule that may include either whole functional groups or a parts of functional groups as substructures.
The atoms of functional groups are linked to each other and to the rest of the molecule by covalent bonds. When the group of covalently bound atoms bears a net charge, the group is referred to more properly as a polyatomic ion or a complex ion. Any subgroup of atoms of a compound also may be called a radical, and if a covalent bond is broken homolytically, the resulting fragment radicals are referred as free radicals.
Organic reactions are facilitated and controlled by the functional groups of the reactants.
A ‘moeity’ represents discrete non-bonded components. Thus, Na2SO4 would contain 3 moieties (2 Na+ and one SO42-). A “chemical formula moiety” is defined as “formula with each discrete bonded residue or ion shown as a separate moiety”.
We should learn different types of ‘functional groups’ and ‘moieties’ of constituent molecules of our drug substances, as well as diverse types of pathogenic molecules. We have to study our materia medica from this viewpoint, comparing symptoms of different drug molecules having same functional moieties. Then we can logically explain the phenomenon of ‘drug relationships’. We can explain the similarity of drugs belonging to different groups such as ‘calcarea’, ‘merc’, ‘kali’, ‘acid’, ‘sulph’, ‘mur’ etc. Such an approach will make our understanding of homeopathy more scientific and accurate
——————————————————————————
If you know how to collect symptoms, find appropriate rubrics, grade them and use repertories and materia medica judiciously, you can manage almost any case using well-defined general rubrics (dont confuse with general symptoms) of our primary repertories, and a medicine chest containing around hundred well-proven drugs. All these running after ‘rare medicines’ and ‘biggest repertories containing largest number of rubrics’ shows the confusions created by the marketing strategies of compilers of modern materia medica books and repertories.
In my opinion, our materia medica and repertories should be updated not by additions, but by culling and elimination of unverified rubrics and un-proved drugs.
——————————————————————————-
Can we change ‘constitutions’ by homeopathic treatment? This question is a frequently asked one in homeopathic circles. Some believe they can, some believe they cannot.
Constitution of an individual has a ‘genotype’ and ‘phenotype’ aspects. ‘Genotype’ is the genetic material inherited from previous generation. It cannot be changed by homeopathic drugs. If homeopathic drugs could have produced changes in genotype, it would have to labelled as a most dangerous medical system.
What we call as ‘constitutions’ and ‘constitutional symptoms’ in homeopathy actually deals with ‘phenotype’ aspects of constitution. Phenotype is decided by the way genes are expressed. ‘Genetic expression’ happens through a complex chain of biochemical processes, by which proteins are synthesized using the genetic blueprint involved in genotype.
Synthesizing of proteins in accordance with the genetic blueprints is mediated by diverse types of enzymes, and it requires diverse types of aminoacids and other biological molecules. Hence, genetic expression or ‘phenotype’ could be influenced by many factors such as nutrition, environment, emotions, drugs, and many such things that could inhibit or activate the enzyme systems involved in protein synthesis.
Obviously, we can change or influence the ‘phenotype’ or genetic expression, but we cannot change the basic genetic material of an individual. Any ‘constitutional’ changes we produce by homeopathic treatment are confined to phenotype chages, not genotype changes.

Congratulations Chandran Namibiarji, It is great and I am of the opinion you are nearing what we all waiting for. There is a body said to be for Homoeopathy known as Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy.Are they all acting sleepy. They are supposed to say some answers to your questions querries or explanations, and or cooperate with you to bring out the scientific explanation to Homoeopathy.

I am publishing a message received from Soroush Ebrahimi RSHom, administrator of Mintus group, regarding my article “How The Concept Of Potentization As ‘Molecular Imprinting’ Was Evolved?”
Ref: http://dialecticalohmeopathy.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/molecular-imprints-as-the-active-principles/
This is a very good article – however, please could you give references to cover the statements you have made – Specifically the following:
7. Evaporation rates of potentized drugs and control solutions have been found to differ. That indicates change in hydrogen bond patterns and supra-molecular rearrangements.
8. Freezing point of potentized drugs and control solutions are different, which again indicates change in hydrogen bonding patterns and supra-molecular organization of medium during potentization.
9. Intensity of Brownian motions is less in potentized drugs when compared to control solutions. This observation shows that freedom of movements of molecules are comparatively restricted in potentized drugs, which indicates a supra-molecular clustering.
10. Solubility of salts in potentized drugs and control solutions are of different rates. This observation shows that the supra-molecular properties and hydrogen bonding patterns have changed during potentization, which also indicates some sort of supra-molecular clustering.
11. In spectroscopic studies, the rate of absorption, and refraction of light rays were found to be different in potentized drugs and control solutions. This showed that water/ethyl alcohol mixture have undergone some sort of supra-molecular clustering and re-organization during potentization.
12. Dielectric dispersions of potentized drugs were experimentally proved to be different from that of control solutions, which indicated a molecular re-arrangement of medium during the process of potentization.
13. In vitro and in vivo experiments proved that potentized drugs can antidote the biological effects of theirs crude forms. This convinced me that the potentized drugs contained some active principles that can act upon biological molecules in a way just opposite to the action of crude drug molecules.
14. Study of supra-molecular structure of water, hydrogen bonding, hydration shells, clathrate compounds and supra-molecular clusters convinced me that water can exhibit some polymer-like properties at supra-molecular level.
15. Study of molecular properties of ethyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol/water mixtures convinced me that the hydrogen bond strength of water can be enhanced by the presence of ethyl alcohol molecules in an appropriate proportion. Further, the heavy alcohol molecules can restrict the free movements of water molecules, there by helping in the stabilization of hydration shells.
16. Study of the technology of ‘molecular imprinted polymers’ done by polymer scientists convinced me of the use of ‘molecular imprints’ as artificial binding sites for biological target molecules.
17. Study of works done by Benveniste regarding ‘memory of water’ indicated some structural changes happening in water during successive dilution and succession. Benveniste failed to comprehend the real mechanism involved in the phenomenon of ‘water memory’ he observed.
18. Some Russian scientists have earlier observed a phenomenon they called ‘shape memory property of water’, which they could not explain scientifically, since they also did not understand the real process of ‘molecular imprinting’ involved in it.
With references, such an article would be come a very powerful tool – especially against those that deny .

I have no idea how many people have already understood what I have proposed as the scientific explanation of homeopathy. Most probably, that would be very very small in numbers. I know, even most of those who support my concepts have no a clear idea about ‘molecular imprints therapeutics’, which is the basis of my scientific explanations of homeopathy. Regarding those who oppose and try to disprove me, I am sure, their vision of my concepts are miserably out of focus.
I am sorry to say that homeopathy community have so far failed to realize the historical implications of ‘molecular imprints therapeutics’ up on the future advancement of hmeopathy.
I am not much concerned about my personal disappointmemts over this non-recognitipn. But, I am very much worried about what homeopathy is losing due to this indifference towards what I am saying.
Anyhow, I shally carry on my work, and continue talking what I think is right. It is my mission.
—————————————————————————-
Once you understand the scientific explanation of homeopathy on the basis of ‘Molecular Imprints Therapeitics’ (MIT) concepts, you would realize that there are no more unanswerable questions or riddles remaining in homeopathy. Nothing remains scientifically unexplainable or unverifiable. Homeopaths will become more rational in their approaches and methods, and every body will start talking about homeopathy more logically and in same language. You will see everything fitting well to the most updated scientific knowledge system on one end, and the time-proven, truthful homeopathic experiences on the other end. You will realize that through MIT explanation, homeopathy has finally evolved into the status of a perfectly scientific medical system- an advanced branch of modern molecular medicine. Homeopaths are raised to the status of modern scientific physicians. Homeopaths now become more self confident, and can hold their heads high. They can now give fitting, scientific answers to the skeptics who constantly try to malign and defame homeopathy.

“Hearty congratulations Dr. K.C Chandran Nambiar, for a masterly presentation. Well done, keep it up.
I completely agree that in pharmaceutical chemistry, a “single” drug is a molecule or ion that can independently interact with biological molecules. Such a molecule or ion is the active “unit” of the drug substance. If a drug substance contains more than one such active units, capable of independent biological activity, it is a compound drug, not a “single” drug.
Let us join minds and head to suggest homoeopathic pharmaceutics as is available in Modern Scientific Medicine or Allopathy. In fact we have to have a group of like minded ascietists along with a pharmceutical company and a Homoeopathic Research Institute.
Respectful regards from,

THANK YOU, PROF. SHARMA. I CONSIDER YOUR NICE APPRECIATION AS A GREAT HONOR CONFERRED UP ON ME, AND A VALUABLE AUTHORITATIVE RECOGNITION OF MY SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS OF HOMEOPATHY. THANKS A LOT.

Without a baseline knowledge of biochemistry- especially the mechanism of ‘ligand-target’ interactions of biological molecules, molecular basics of pathology, molecular inhibitions and dynamics of ‘cure’ as removal of molecular inhibitions, you cannot follow the scientific explanation of similia similibus curentur.
Without a scientific perspective of molecular composition of drug substances, andthe molecular mechanism by which the drug substances interact with biological organism to produce pathological inhibitions and symptoms, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of drug proving.
Without getting yourselves introduced to the latest information regarding supra-molecular properties of water and ethyl alcohol, hydrogen bonding, hydration shells, supra-molecular nano-structures, guest-host complexes, molecular imprinting in polymers and related subjects, you cannot follow the scientific explanations of potentization in terms of ‘molecular imprinting’.
To make a ‘homeopathic’ prescription, we need ‘homeopathic’ symptoms. Nobody can make a homeopathic prescription using ‘diagnostic’ symptoms alone.
We should collect all physical generals, mentals and particular symptoms, with all associated ‘qualifications’ such as sensations, modalities and concomitants of each symptom, so that we get a ‘homeopathic’ symptom picture of the patient. Then, we can repertorize the case to find most appropriate drugs, which should be applied in potencies above 12c.
Please do not worry much over imaginary issues such as ‘single/multiple drugs, remedy kingdoms, drug families, embryonic layers, drug relationships, selection of potencies, repetitions, medicinal aggravations, suppressions, miasmatic analysis and such things. If you selected right drugs, and administered enough doses in potencies above 12c, your patient will be CURED.

First time in the history of homeopathy, here is a rational, scientifically viable ‘working hypothesis’ proposed, that exactly bridges existing scientific knowledge system on one side, and our time-proven homeopathic experiences on the other side. I dedicate this hypothesis to our great master on his birthday. In this article, I am trying to ‘follow’ hahnemann in a creative way, by taking forward and advancing his theories to keep them abreast with latest scientific knowledge. I hope soul of our master would have been only happy to see this happening. Bless me, and show me light in my mission, MASTER!
—————————————————————-
To combat skeptic attacks effectively, we should make homeopathy scientific. For that, homeopaths should develop a scientific outlook first
—————————————————————-
If we had a scientifically viable and rational theory about homeopathy, no skeptics could have attacked us- deficiencies make us vulnerable
——————————————————————-
First you stop talking unscientific theories, and make homeopaths aware of scientific homeopathy- Only then you can combat skeptic attacks
——————————————————————-
Talking nonsense, irrational theories, our unscientific homeopaths do more harm to homeopathy than anti-homeopathic skeptics and scientists.
—————————————————————
What Homeopathy Awareness Campaign you are doing, under the leadership of these people promoting unscientific theories and occult practices?
———————————————————————
If anybody says “HOMOEOPATHY is the only system of medicine which is scientific”, that only means he knows nothing about other medical systems except homeopathy, and nothing about science except ‘homeopathic science’. Only one who is blinded by ‘dedication’ to homeopathy can make such a statement. Do not forget, science has advanced through 250 years after homeopathy came into existence. Do you think during this 250 years, science could not advance a single step from the level of science homeopathy represents?
By saying ‘homeopathy is the only science and hahnemann is the greatest scientist’, you are actually belittling homeopathy and hahnemann. Be bold enough to accept historical reality. Such statements do not by itself make you a better or ‘true’ homeopath.
—————————————————————-
FOUR FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED TO EXPLAIN HOMEOPATHY SCIENTIFICALLY:
Question 1: What is the real science behind ‘similia similibus curentur’?
In scientific terms, ‘similia similibus curentur’ means, “pathological molecular inhibitions underlying a disease and expressed through specific groups of subjective and objective symptoms can be removed by applying ‘molecular imprints’ of drug substances, which in crude form could produce similar molecular inhibitions in healthy individuals, expressed through similar groups of symptoms”.
Question 2: What really happens at ‘material’ level during the process of potentisation?
During initial stages of drug potentization, crude drug substances undergoes division and ionization, therby individual constituent molecules getting freed from intermolecular bonds. During progressive dilution and succussion, these constituent drug molecules undergo a process of ‘molecular imprinting’. During this process, three dimensional ‘molecular imprints’ or hydrosomes of drug molecules are formed in the supra-molecular clusters of water/alcohol medium through stabilization of hydration shells. Due to serial dilution, drug molecules gradually get removed from medium, and by 12c it becomes free of drug molecules and only ‘molecular imprints’ remain.
Question 3: What are the active principles of potentized medicines?
‘Molecular imprints’ of constituent drug molecules are the active principles of potentized homeopathic drugs.
Question 4: What is the molecular mechanism by which these potentized medicines interact with biological molecules and relieve the pathological molecular inhibitions?
‘Diseases’ are errors in vital processes due to derangement of biochemical pathways in the organism, caused by inhibitions of biological molecules by binding of exogenous or endogenous pathogenic molecules. ‘Molecular imprints’ contained in potentized drugs selectively binds to the pathogenic molecules having complementary affinity due to the configurational similarity of pathogenic molecules and original drug molecules used for potentization. This configurational similarity is decided by ‘similarity of symptoms’. Pathogenic molecules are thus entrapped by the ‘molecular imprints’, thereby relieving the biological molecules from inhibitions. Disease is cured at molecular level itself.
——————————————————————–
If I were viewing homeopathy as a mere outsider with a scientific outlook, and If I had not the wonderful life-long first-hand opportunity of producing and experiencing thousands of undeniable cures with homeopathy, I would have been the greatest skeptic ever, hearing all these foolish, unscientific theories promoted by international ‘leaders’ of homeopathy, and witnessing all these occult practices done under the umbrella of homeopathy. That is why I always keep a soft corner for that section of skeptics who are scientific and rational in their approach.
——————————————————————-
Mark Twain said: “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to your level, and then beat you with experience!”
Had I got this great quote a bit earlier, I would have been saved from a lot of humiliation
Here after, I will try to stay away from arguing with stupid people. I will not say ‘you are stupid’, but would politely say ‘excuse me’, meaning the same
2. They will not understand what you are saying
3. They will not try to understand what you are saying
4. They never answer any of your straight questions
5. They will not discuss any specific points you raise.
6. They always make sweeping, generalized comments
7. They always pretend to know everything
8. They prefer personal abusing, not discussing points
9. They will talk things that are not part of discussions
10. They will blindly follow and praise some ‘idols’.
Diseases in a person at a given point of time are never ‘single’ at molecular level, but comprising of ‘multiple’ molecular inhibitions and molecular errors arising from diverse types of genetic and acquired factors.
Even those drug substance we call ‘single’ are not really ‘single’, but contains diverse types of chemical molecules molecules having entirely different chemical and medicinal properties.
Potentized drugs, which we consider ‘single’, are actually combinations of diverse types of independent ‘molecular imprints’ representing different types of constituent molecules of drug substance used for potentization.
When used as therapeutic agents, all those potentized drugs we consider ‘single’, really act as ‘combinations’ of independent ‘molecular imprints’ they contain, each individual ‘molecular imprint’ acting upon specific pathogenic molecules having complementary configurational affinity, thereby removing the ‘molecular inhibitions created by them.
Once you understand these fundamental scientific factors, you can realize the futility of worrying about ‘single’ disease, ‘single’ drug and ‘single’ dose!!
———————————————————————–
In pharmaceutical chemistry, a “single” drug is a molecule or ion or ‘functional group’ that can independently interact with biological molecules. Such a molecule or functional group is the active “unit” of the drug substance. If a drug substance contains more than one such active units, capable of independent biological activity, it is a compound drug, not a “single” drug.
It is totally unscientific to say that a drug substance that contain more than one type of biologically active molecules or functional groups is a “single” drug, only because it comes from a “single” natural source, or it is administered as a “single” drug. Question is, whether it acts on biological molecules as a “single” unit or “multiple” units. Hahnemann considered such “compound drugs” as “single” drugs, only because modern scientific knowledge regarding the exact molecular composition of drug substances, as well as molecular mechanism of pathology and therapeutics were not available to him at that period.
It shows the totally unscientific and irrational mindset of our “classical” homeopaths that still they do not accept or try to think over this very simple scientific fact, which even a high school student is aware of. The “single drug/multiple drug” dilemma really indicates the very poor level of our scientific understanding of biochemistry and molecular processes involved in the phenomena of disease and cure. This situation is really pathetic.
———————————————————————–
’Classical homeopaths’ argue that the drug substances with compound molecular compositions act as ‘single’ unit when used as ‘single’ drug and produce the ‘drug picture’. That argument simply reflects their utter ignorance of dynamics of biochemical interactions. It is the individual drug molecules that act upon specific biological molecules and produce molecular inhibtions by virtue of their specific ‘ligand-receptor’ affinity, not the whole ‘drug substance’. What we call the ‘drug picture’ is actually the sum total of various symptom groups representing diverse types of molecular inhibitions produced by diverse types of constituent molecules in diverse biochemical pathways.
I wonder why the professional and academic homeopathic community fail to realize the implications of MIT concepts, in spite of it being a most logical explanation, and my unrelenting efforts day in and day out to explain it from different angles. Is it the failure of the ways I am explaining it? It it the lack of scientific awareness of homeopaths? Is it a willful negligence? Is it prejudice? Why everybody feigning dumb and deaf towards MIT? I am totally confused.
I am dismayed to see even such baseless and irrelevant ideas as ‘nano-particle theory’ are fervently celebrated as great ‘research’ and ‘breakthroughs’, nobody ever bothering to ponder over how it explains similia theory of homeopathy. Only reason is, it was proposed by some research students related with the a premier scientific institution!
I know, many scientific-minded young homeopaths and students really read and try to follow what I say, while those seniors and influential sections totally ignore me. May be, the number of people who understand or accept MIT will be below hundred or so in this whole world. By this negative attitude, Homeopathy is actually losing a great opportunity to advance into a scientific medical system. I feel very sorry for that.
BECAUSE, ‘MIT’ IS THE ONLY SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OF HOMEOPATHY- BEYOND ANY DOUBT!
——————————————————
I am not “trying to change fundamental laws of homeopathy”. I am only trying to “explain fundamental observations” of homeopathy in terms of modern science. If you take some time to go through my articles on this topic, you would realize that I have “explained” ‘similia similibus curentur’ and ‘potentization’ “as per ‘already proved’ modern science”. I am not proposing any “new theory” or trying to “change fundamental laws”.
Please note, so far there is no any ‘fundamental laws’ in homeopathy which anybody proved “as per modern science”. Not even “explained” as per modern science”. Not even a scientifically viable working hypothesis that could be verified. But we teach, learn, practice and celebrate those unproved ‘theories’ without any hesitation. Nobody ever asked any master to “prove” his ‘theories scientifically before propagating them. Why this indolence?
——————————————————————-
Only ‘Molecular Imprints’ proposed by dialectical homeopathy explains the molecular dynamics of Similia Similibus Curentur in a way fitting to the ‘key-lock’ mechanism involved in ‘ligand-target’ interactions of biological molecular processes as well as pathological inhibitions. Not a single other hypothesis such as ‘nano-particle theory’, ‘resonance theory’ or anything else provides such a rational explanation, fitting homeopathy exactly well into the paradigms of modern science.
——————————————————
Are ‘higher potencies’ more powerful than 12c or 30c??
Since I consider molecular imprints as the active principles of potentized drugs, I do not subscribe to the idea that ‘higher’ potencies are more ‘powerful’, and I see no special benefit by using ‘higher’ potencies. I think 12c is enough for completing molecular imprinting and removal of all drug molecules from the medium.
——————————————————————–
What may be the possible mechanism of processes happening in ‘high’ levels of potentization??
What happens at molecular level during further potentization is still an open question for me. In supra-molecular chemistry, there is research going on regarding a phenomenon known as ‘induced molecular assembly’. That means, supra-molecular clusters acting as templates and inducing other molecules to form similar clusters. We know, ‘induced molecular assembly’ is involved in crystallization, clathrate formation etc. Even ‘prions’, which are misfolded proteins, multiply by ‘
