MIT CONCEPTS, MIT PROTOCOL AND MIT FORMULATIONS were developed for helping homeopaths in building successful homeopathy practice, by incorporating advanced scientific knowledge and its methods into the conventional tools of homeopathy. In order to reap the full benefits of MIT approach of homeopathy, we should understand its rational and scientific theoretical basis properly, and utilize its powerful clinical tools diligently.
UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOLECULAR DRUGS AND MOLECULAR IMPRINTED DRUGS, TO BECOME A SCIENTIFIC HOMEOPATH
There are a lot of different brands of homeopathy combination drugs currently available in market, promoted by almost all big and small manufacturers. When considering those formulations, first thing a scientific minded homeopath is whether they contain molecular forms or molecular imprinted forms of drugs. You can see, most of the formulations coming with big brand names contain drugs in 1x, 3x, 6x, 12x or even mother tinctures. We should know, drugs below 12c potency contain DRUG MOLECULES, where as drugs potentized above 12c contain only MOLECULAR IMPRINTS of drug molecules. It makes a big difference according to scientific understanding of homeopathy.
DRUG MOLECULES act as therapeutic agents due to their CHEMICAL properties. It is an allopathic action, same way as any allopathic or ayurvedic drug works. They can interact with biological molecules and produce short term or long term harmful effects, exactly similar to allopathic drugs. Please keep this point in mind when you have a temptation to use mother tincures, low potencies or biochemic salts which are MOLECULAR drugs.
On the other hand, MOLECULAR IMPRINTS contained in homeopathic drugs potentized above 12 or avogadro limit act as therapeutic agents by working as artificial ligand binds for pathogenic molecues due to their conformational properties by a biological mechanism that is truely homeopathic.
Dear homeopaths, kindly try to understand the fundamental difference between molecular imprinted drugs regarding their biological mechanism of actions, before deciding which formulations to use. MIT FORMULATIONS are disease-specific combinations of homeopathic drugs in 30c potency, which contain only molecular imprints that can act by a genuinely homeopathic biological mechanism. Please do not compare MIT FORMULATIONS with other commercial combinations of mother tinctures and low potency drugs.
There are a lot of doctors who occasionally purchase a few bottles of some selected MIT FORMULATIONS, that too only for cases they fail by giving their usual prescriptions of high dilution drugs, mother tinctures, biochemic salts, and even those unprincipled commercial combinations available in the market. They consider MIT FORMULATIONS as “just another commercial preparation” to be tried. Then they will prescribe it along with mother tinctures and biochemic combinations! Even though MIT FORMULATIONS are expected to be dispensed to patients as sealed bottles itself, to be used in doses of 10 drops directly on tongue twice daily chronic cases and more frequently in acute cases, most doctors dispense them in the form of medicated pills!
Dear doctors, do not think MIT FORMULATIONS are “just another” brand of commercial combination remedies similar to those flooding the market. It is not! MIT is a new way of approach, a new way of thinking, a new way of practicing. MIT is a totally new way of understanding homeopathy, based on scientific answers to the fundamental questions of homeopathy.
MIT FORMULATIONS are actually expected to be used exclusively as main prescriptions- not as optional accessories to your usual prescriptions consisting of mother tinctures and biochemic salts. Then only you will get the full benefits of MIT approach.
In acute cases, one or two bottles of MIT FORMULATIONS will be enough for producing a complete and lasting cure within a few days. In Chronic and recurring complaints, it is found to be more effective if a few doses of constitutional medicine of the patient or selected nosodes and sarcodes are also included in the prescriptions along with MIT FORMULATIONS.
At our MIT CLINIC attatched to the headquarters of Fedarin Mialbs Private Limited at kannur, kerala, we treat all cases according to MIT PROTOCOL only. And we are getting excellent results. Failures are minimal. Based on presenting complaints, previous reports and initial tentative diagnosis, we prescribe one or more MIT FORMULATIONS. In acute complaints it will be enough. In chronic or recurring complaints, we collect the physical generals and mental symptoms of the patient by detailed case taking, and select the constitutional remedies by repertorization using SIMILIMUM ULTRA software. These selected remedies are also prescribed along with the formulations.
Making an MIT prescription is very simple. Just collect the diagnostic information required to understand what are the complaints he is suffering from. Select the MIT FORMULATIONS indicated by the diagnosis. Collect the physical generals and uncommon mental symptoms, find out the constitutional remedies through repertorization. Prescribe the selected MIT FORMULATIONS along with a few doses of selected constitutional remedies in 30 c potency. Work is done! With in a few days, patient will return to you with a broad smile of thankfulness.
Remember, do not prescribe mother tinctures, low potencies or biochemic preparations along with MIT FORMULATIONS. Drug molecules contained in them may deactivate the molecular imprints contained in the potentized drugs being part of MIT FORMULATIONS.
For example, if a young lady comes with complaints of acne, facial blemishes and hair fall, we will give FACIOMIT and TRICHOMIT one bottle each, directing to take 10 drops each twice daily directly on tongue. FACIOMIT will be advised to apply on face externally also. Everything will be ok by one course in most cases. If it is recurring, we add a few doses of her constitutional remedies also in 30c potency, such as pulsatilla, sulphur or natrum mur.
If a patient comes with chrinic gastritis and gerd, we prescribe GASTROMIT. If he is very anxious and worried, we add ANXOMIT. If he complains about habitual constipation, BOWELMIT also added. If complaints are recurring, constitutional drugs such as lycopdium, sulphur etc also may be added after detailed case taking and repettorization. 95% of patients will come back after two weeks with a smile of satisfatction and thankfulness.
If the cases is type 2 diabetes, we will have to prescribe GLUCOMIT along with LIVOMIT. If the diagnosis indicates the presence of metabolic syndrome, add METAMIT also. HYPERMIT could be added if there is hypertension also. Add selected constitutional medicine also. You will get a positive feedback by two weeks itself.
I would request homeopaths to make MIT FORMULATIONS the mainstay of your clinical practice, and see how it changes your practice. But the problems is, you should have a minimum stock of all important formulations with you for using them when need arises. Without enough stock, you cannot prescribe MIT FORMULATIONS when a patient comes. If you are a homeopath with average practice, and want to practice MIT, you should try to build up a minimum stock of at least 200 formulations 10 bottles each.
WHAT IS MIT HOMEOPATHY?
MIT or Molecular Imprints Therapeutics refers to a scientific hypothesis that proposes a rational model for biological mechanism of homeopathic therapeutics.
According to MIT hypothesis, potentization involves a process of ‘molecular imprinting’, where in the conformational details of individual drug molecules are ‘imprinted or engraved as hydrogen- bonded three dimensional nano-cavities into a supra-molecular matrix of water and ethyl alcohol, through a process of molecular level ‘host-guest’ interactions. These ‘molecular imprints’ are the active principles of post-avogadro dilutions used as homeopathic drugs. Due to ‘conformational affinity’, molecular imprints can act as ‘artificial key holes or ligand binds’ for the specific drug molecules used for imprinting, and for all pathogenic molecules having functional groups ‘similar’ to those drug molecules. When used as therapeutic agents, molecular imprints selectively bind to the pathogenic molecules having conformational affinity and deactivate them, thereby relieving the biological molecules from the inhibitions or blocks caused by pathogenic molecules.
According to MIT hypothesis, this is the biological mechanism of high dilution therapeutics involved in homeopathic cure. According to MIT hypothesis, ‘Similia Similibus Curentur’ means, diseases expressed through a particular group of symptoms could be cured by ‘molecular imprints’ forms of drug substances, which in ‘molecular’ or crude forms could produce ‘similar’ groups of symptoms in healthy individuals. ‘Similarity’ of drug symptoms and diseaes indicates ‘similarity’ of pathological molecular inhibitions caused by drug molecules and pathogenic molecules, which in turn indicates conformational ‘similarity’ of functional groups of drug molecules and pathogenic molecules. Since molecular imprints of ‘similar’ molecules can bind to ‘similar ligand molecules by conformational affinity, they can act as the therapeutics agents when applied as indicated by ‘similarity of symptoms. Nobody in the whole history could so far propose a hypothesis about homeopathy as scientific, rational and perfect as MIT explaining the molecular process involed in potentization, and the biological mechanism involved in ‘similiasimilibus- curentur, in a way fitting well to modern scientific knowledge system.
If symptoms expressed in a particular disease condition as well as symptoms produced in a healthy individual by a particular drug substance were similar, it means the disease-causing molecules and the drug molecules could bind to same biological targets and produce similar molecular errors, which in turn means both of them have similar functional groups or molecular conformations. This phenomenon of competitive relationship between similar chemical molecules in binding to similar biological targets scientifically explains the fundamental homeopathic principle Similia Similibus Curentur.
Practically, MIT or Molecular Imprints Therapeutics is all about identifying the specific target-ligand ‘key-lock’ mechanism involved in the molecular pathology of the particular disease, procuring the samples of concerned ligand molecules or molecules that can mimic as the ligands by conformational similarity, preparing their molecular imprints through a process of homeopathic potentization upto 30c potency, and using that preparation as therapeutic agent.
Since individual molecular imprints contained in drugs potentized above avogadro limit cannot interact each other or interfere in the normal interactions between biological molecules and their natural ligands, and since they can act only as artificial binding sites for specific pathogentic molecules having conformational affinity, there cannot by any adverse effects or reduction in medicinal effects even if we mix two or more potentized drugs together, or prescribe them simultaneously- they will work.
