CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES
George: Yes. You are asking how long we take with a homoeopathic treatment to wipe out a predisposition? There is no such thing. If the predisposition can be wiped out, perhaps immediately. But always there is a possibility that it will come back. This question involves a lot of thinking to see when a predisposition can be wiped out. WHEN WE HAVE A CASE WHERE THE PERSON IS SAY Nat-c. CONSTITUTIONALLY, SO HE COMES ONE YEAR AGO AND TAKES Nat-c. AND GOES AWAY. THEN THERE IS A RELAPSE AFTER TWO YEARS. AGAIN Nat-c. IS GIVEN. THEN AFTER FIVE YEARS AGAIN Nat-c. IS HELPING HIM. THAT IS HIS MAIN REMEDY AND Nat-c. IS SUPPOSED TO WIPE OUT THE PREDISPOSITION TO WHATEVER HE HAS IMMEDIATELY. THERE ARE OTHER PERSONS WHO NEED TWO OR THREE REMEDIES BEFORE THEY COME INTO A BALANCE. THEN WE SAY AFTER THE THREE REMEDIES THAT THE PREDISPOSITION HAS BEEN WIPED OUT.
SO THE ONE PERSON WITH THE Nat-c., THE PERSON WHO IS A CLEAR CUT CASE AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDY IS CLEAR, HIS PREDISPOSITION WE CAN SAY IS WIPED OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER GIVING THE REMEDY. ANOTHER ONE WILL NEED THREE REMEDIES BEFORE THE PREDISPOSITION IS TAKEN AWAY - OR ONE LAYER WE CALL IT. THERE IS NO SUCH THING read more [...]
IMPOTENCY – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
IMPOTENCY
George: I think somebody asked yesterday why did I prescribe Staph. The reasons why I prescribed Staph. in that case ... you see, from the impressions that the interview gave, would you say that this man was preoccupied with sex quite a lot?
Response: Yes.
George: Therefore, he has a heavy (strong) desire but there is no capacity. What was interesting is that feeling of the brain not taking part in the sexual act. The feeling was mostly on his occiput. It was one year before l decided to give a second remedy. The reason I waited was because we did not have a complete picture again. The picture would not be developed. What I found out was that he had desire, but no erections, but at the same time there was something which was not moving behind the brain. Can anybody remember from Staph. "a feeling in the occiput' how it is described? There was a solid feeling in the brain, and it was not "moving". This was behind - inside. Staph. gives a sense of weakness in thinking, in performing, in his feelings, weakness generally. It is a feeling that "something is holding the brain" and it is on the occiput. Staph. is one of the main remedies for impotency. What are read more [...]
MELANOMA – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
MELANOMA
Question: There is a very interesting case which I wonder if we could bring up about melanoma.
Answer: This was a patient who was basically treated for a petit mal epilepsy. [gave her Nat-m. and the petit mat epilepsy went away. I didn't see her again for about five months. She came back in and said that a friend of hers had seen a mole on her skin. She went to a dermatologist and had it taken off; a biopsy revealed a melanoma. The mole had been there for a long period of time. Then they did a very wide excision of this melanoma. The petit mal epilepsy came back. What would that mean as far as direction?
George. This is what usually happens. She would be feeling better if she was taking milk. That is an interesting question to ask. In those cases, that get better with milk, they have a great desire for milk. When the gravity of the disease goes to the physical body completely and that is not allowed to the skin - it is suppressed. The melanoma is not a cancer. It is a malignant ulcer which if it is operated upon might cause a metastasis, usually to the brain.
Question: The fact that she got her petit mal epilepsy back is a good sign for her then?
George: read more [...]

The 10 Miasm System – Derived from Rajan Sankaran Miasm System
(Derived from Rajan Sankaran, System of Homeopathy & An Insight into Plants vol I)
One of the most contentious of our theories, one of the most difficult concepts for practitioners to put into practice. Many homoeopaths abandon the idea of miasms as not being useful to them, or being too hard to use in practice.
This also means that in order to try and understand it, the theory has been altered since Hahnemann's day. There are now several models of Miasm.
Hahnemann said that attending to the Miasm was of utmost importance in curing Chronic disease. However due to the confusion over how to classify remedies, how to determine the miasm, it was not adopted by all homoeopaths.
It is often one of the most difficult concepts to teach to students. I have probably found it to be the single most challenging aspect of training - and have tried many different ways to teach it. Some did not work, and some did. In fact I would say that lecturing actually helped me to come to a better understanding of it. Faced with the questions, lack of comprehension, and sometimes frank disbelief of aspiring homoeopaths, it forced me to look at how I applied miasmatic theory in clinic.

Best Homeopathic Medicines for Panic Attacks
What are Panic Attacks?
Panic attacks are severe episodes of sudden anxiety, apprehension or fear. They occur without any real or apparent danger and mostly bring on some form of physical reaction such as dizziness, heart palpitations, dyspnea, nausea and faintness. Panic attacks can be truly frightening and leave the person shaken and deeply upset. Once the mind goes into panic mode, the person losses control over his reactions. Certain situations such as a trauma, past experience or phobia can act as triggers.
Advantage of Homeopathic Treatment
Homeopathy is a proven alternative treatment option for anxiety related disorders such as panic attacks. Natural and safe, Homeopathic medicines are deep acting and have no side effects on the body. Unlike the conventional mode of medicine, Homeopathic medicines do not supress the disease and its symptoms. In fact, they attack the disorder at the root and set off the body’s own restorative processes, making it strong enough to completely eradicate the disease. Supressing the disease process makes it stubborn. Homeopathic medicines are a natural, healing alternative. More importantly, they are not habit-forming in nature and can be taken read more [...] Homeopathic Rubrics of spring season from all the major repertories – Dr Devendra Pal Singh
I have collected rubrics of spring season from all the major repertories. And I wish you all study them deeply. So that when patient comes to you in this season with complaint of dysentery so you better be prepared that you have to consider kali. bi.
Now we all are familiar with spring coryza of allium.cepa, and autmnal dysentery of colchicum. we must think why season used as a symptom by our stalwarts, !!!!Because in both clinical and drug proving they found affinity of certain drugs towards particular seasons with associated complaint.
For eg vertigo in spring season apis is only medicine. In this season you will have complaints of both acute and chronic like vertigo, asthma, cough, skin eruptions, coryza, dysentery, fever, toothache, facial neuralgia, diarrhea, hoarseness of voice, weakness, stomach ulcers, rheumatism and many more.
I give a case example, a chronic patient of asthma ive tried everything but failed ars, nat.s, tub, sambucus but last year he presented with dysentery in spring season and what happened was after kali.bi dysentery was gone and also the asthma.

Swine Flu
What is Swine Flu?
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness and low death rates in pigs. Swine influenza viruses may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans.
The 2009 flu outbreak in humans is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that derives in part from human influenza, avian influenza, and two separate strains of swine influenza. The origins of this new strain are unknown. It passes with apparent ease from human to human, an ability attributed to an as-yet unidentified mutation. The strain in most cases causes only mild symptoms and the infected person makes a full recovery without requiring medical attention and without the use of antiviral medicines.
Why is there so much panic about Swine Flu? After all it’s read more [...]
