Homoeopathy vs others

                                                        Homoeopathy vs others

It is always the question invariably in every family and with every individual as to where to go and to whom to consult in case of sickness? This is more in our country because of the fact that we lag   in the health consciousness. Only few of us know the body anatomy. Our interest towards the health awareness is less. Being healthy and disease free has always been a tough task. We need to be disease free first and only then to maintain the health. Depending on the disease and it’s cause the system can be chosen. In doing so we must know the different symptoms available and it’s advantages and disadvantages. 

                                                         All the systems of treatment are available and  open for all of us. In such a case I feel that if one knows about different systems, it would be much easy for him to decide. The major systems in use are Allopathy, Homoeopathy, Biochemical, Ayurveda, Yoga, Acupressure and  Acupuncture. We can start our treatment from any one of the system. If we get a cure, the question of changing to other system does not arise. But in case unfortunately, we could not get a cure, then we are forced to switch over to some other system. There is no restriction, it is only the matter of suitability.  

                                             Allopathy treats the disease that means the disease comes first and then the treatment follows. Obviously because it is a disease based system. The disease is treated directly. If we find an insulin deficient patient, we inject insulin. This is pure science and purely scientific based. It further proves the disease supported by lab. tests. Dr. C. A. Baldwin MD writes in his book" Hahnemann's Organon of the art of healing, restated, page no 6" as follows- "The drug selected as a remedial agent by the allopathic method, does not act curatively, but sets up opposite or contrary symptoms, which temporarily relieves the sick symptoms or ultimately suppresses or complicates them but never cures them." We can take it for granted that in case of emergency this is the best system. And therefore I conclude that there is no survival without Allopathy. The biggest advantage of this system is surgery. Surgery in present days is very advanced and marvellous. The science and the doctors deserve to be highly appreciated for their great achievements. 

                                                  Homeopathy differs in this regard and suggests that disease should never be treated directly. Instead the cause of the disease should be found first and then remove the cause. It maintains that every disease has a hidden cause. Once the cause is removed, the disease  will be cured by it self. I believe this is a very good approach towards a disease. Homoeopathy  can also offer quick results but practically it is not possible because it involves a procedure to understand the cause and find the suitable remedy. And therefore I conclude that there is no cure without Homeopathy. We should be able to decide for survival and cure depending upon the circumstances and switch over accordingly.

                                                        A patient with  “Vitamin D” deficiency, according to the Lab. test report, consults a doctor. The doctor looks at the report and he prescribes  “D lift”, one  tablet once in  a week. “D lift” is a vitamin D tablet. The system Allopathy does not go for correction of the functioning of the body system. The allopathy goes for the restoration of the deficiency and supplements the same. The patient consulted me for opinion. I studied the case considering  why Vitamin D deficiency?  What are the possibilities? What could be the reason? Is the Liver function normal? If not normal, why it is not normal? It clearly means that the “Why aspect” of the case became a major portion of the case study.  The search begins. The cause is established. The remedy is selected and a line of treatment is finalised. There are every chances that the Liver function will be restored to normal and the Vit. D deficiency will be brought to normal. This restoration will be automatic and for ever because the root cause of the Vit. D deficiency has been eliminated. This is Homoeopathy in real sense. And my endeavour  is to promote this sense of Homoeopathy. 

                                                                                           Now we will take a look of the dictionary meaning of Remedy and medicine. Remedy is Means of counteracting or removing anything undesirable. Medicine —A Science or practice of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. It is very clear that the remedy is always about the cause of the disease and the medicine is always about the disease. It is always better to cure a cause rather than treating   a disease.
