Homeopathic Narratives: How Nature Heals

N:46 Source Words as the Rare and Peculiar in Prescribing Remedies

A continuation of the discussion on source words in prescribing a remedy while also looking at a number of remedies. Rajan Sankaran and Divya Chhabra are both homeopathic doctors who after extensive experience in using homeopathy, came to understand and write new additions to the homeopathic understanding.  The source and the methods to reach it are what makes these two homeopathic doctors master homeopaths.  Remember that these podcasts are general in nature and that how you practice depends on the regulations of your area and region.  In addition, if you need a health practitioner, please find one for your personal health needs.  When using source words, you are looking at the patient who identifies the remedy themselves by giving separate unrelated characteristics that are the characteristics of the case as well as those of the source material. Source material being the substance that was used to make the homeopathic remedy.
Question for today –  What is the difference between an allergy or cold and flu, and how does homeopathy see the difference? 
Recommended book: Rajan Sankaran has his source words in his book of source words in pictures which has been recommended before.

N45: The Rare and Peculiar Signs and Symptoms in Homeopathic Prescribing

Rare and peculiar prescribing can be confusing when trying to define what is rare and what is peculiar without considering yourself biased.  And how rare or peculiar can a symptom be.  Looking at physical pain, we see the body using this as a tool to improve health.  When taking a well indicated remedy, a homeopath has to choose a remedy that has the same experience of pain as the patient in front of them.
In our metaphors and comparisons that we make, we see the rare in peculiar.  Common sense is very important; people are losing the capacity for common sense.  Plants, animals and minerals have specific experience of pain as seen through the human expression in provings of homeopathic remedies.  Looking at opium, Papaveraceae family of plants, we see a good family of plants with keynotes that help understand a patient needing this remedy.  Homeopathy is a nanomedicine – there is no opium left in the remedy other than the DNA resonance with vibrational frequency.  Books that are materia medica or self-help books with remedy suggestions show us remedies that are good for certain ailments, but choosing the right remedy is connected to ensuring the ‘experience’ of this substance is the same as the person with the ailment.
Question for today –  Why is the homeopath looking for the faulty experience?

N44: The How and What of Prescribing a Homeopathic Remedy

When prescribing a homeopathic remedy aphorisms 1, 6 and 153 are important to remember.  Prescribing as unprejudiced and open to understanding the patient and the remedy that both share a similar experience, source, rare and peculiar.  No matter whether you are looking for the characteristics of the case, the keynote, and or the source words or characteristics of the substance, in the end it must be the rare, unusual and very peculiar that leads the homeopath and the prescriber to the Similimum – best indicated remedy for the totality of symptoms before you.
Question for today – What is ‘experience’ in comparison with ‘feeling’?

N43: Building Susceptibility, Reaction and Immunity - The ’side effect’ of homeopathic remedies

Whether you want it or not, the ‘side effect’ of homeopathic remedies is that the body cannot only fix the one ailment you may want taken care of. When given a remedy, whether constitutional, a proving, or a first aid remedy, the body will use it to find and correct all possible ailments that the remedy substance can find.  A homeopathic remedy is a code, and the code can be used by the automatic (autonomic) brain to reveal and heal many more problems stemming from any substance that has impacted the body – drugs, stings, bites, injected substances, genetically engineered damage, and poisons from any source.  In Chapter 7 of Stuart Close's book, The Genius of Homoeopathy - Lectures and Essays on Homoeopathic Philosophy with Word Index, he talks about susceptibility and the natural state of the human organism.

N42: Approaching Neurological Disorders with Homeopathy

Neurological disorders are approached differently by homeopaths depending on the patient, the specific cause of the disorder and the totality of symptoms taken for the constitutional remedy.  The remedies often turn out to be homeopathic versions of those substances needed by the brain: copper (cuprum), lead (plumbum), iron (ferrum), iodine (iodinum), zinc (zincum), manganese (mangenum) and mercury (mercurius). The substances, drugs and poisons the body comes into contact would be the equivalent of what the pharma refer to lifestyle, infections, environment, and nutrition. Injury often is related to remedies that correspond as well as the genetic and congenital causes of neurological disorders which are often the way our energy brings our physical being to an end, unfortunately it should not be Alzheimer’s or a stroke at 50, but rather at 80 or 95 when it was supposed to help life come to an end.  Functional neurological disorder is not caused by damage or a physical problem but rather how something is working – in many ways this corresponds to homeopathic ‘mistunement’ that precedes any physical destruction of any organs or units in the body.
Question for today – What causes people to not use Homeopathy?  This question is complex and will be looked at over the next few weeks.  Today we will look one answer: Homeopathy was taken away from people 100 years ago and hidden, destroyed or lied about.  Giving it a voice is a way to bring it back into the consciousness of the general public.

N41: A Continued Discussion on Neurological Disorders and Homeopathy

Neurological disorders are combinations of symptoms that are artificially combined to form an allopathic picture.  The functional damage of any system is seen in the end in the organ most impacted and in this case the CNS will see the impact of MS later in an MRI.
Homeopathically one needs to pay attention to the time frame, how advanced the problem has become, which allopathic medications are being used and whether the patient understands what to look for when observing the action of the homeopathic remedy as seen in the movement in the body from the coded medicine.  There are no drugs or molecules in a remedy, it works on the quantum level having enough substance on a vibrationally active level of the healing system in the automatic/autonomic part of the body. 
Question of the day: Why do some remedies make you feel worse during the first few days after the remedy while others immediately make you feel better?
Remember that homeopathy is a rediscovery of nature’s healing mechanisms and you can always go back to nature and carry out the laws of nature yourselves.
Learning how to differentiate the modalities of CNS disorders, Morrison’s book, Desktop Companion to Physical Pathology is a good place to start.  However, when choosing a deep constitutional remedy using Sankaran, Chhabra, Scholten and so forth will help you find a deeper source remedy.  To shift an individual, one needs to be sure you are reaching the deepest remedy and not change the remedy too fast.

N40: A Discussion on Neurological Disorders and Homeopathy

Neurological disorders are very specifically diagnosed in allopathic modern medicine, but in homeopathy they are specific combinations of symptoms related to the body and neural experiences such as paralysis, numbness, twitching, pain, painless etc.  The constitutional remedy is there to activate the body’s capacity to heal and not to take away a specific symptom.  Something that pops up on the physical realm does not need to be an acute new symptom.  Usually, it is an acute exacerbation of a chronic dis-ease and as such the homeopath gives a remedy to create an artificial disease to find it through bringing back the pain, inflammation and fever that it never was able to use the first time it tried fixing the problem.  Because it lost the fight, the problem become a chronic one.  Two books I recommend include Roger Morrison book, Desktop Companion To Physical Pathology, as mentioned before, but also a great book to start thinking about this idea that all chronic disease can be fixed with one divine shot – like the naturopathic vitamin B12 shot, or the allopathic shots.  Chronic disease is impacted by any bite, sting or injection and certainly for the short duration it seems everything has disappeared symptom-wise, but in fact over the next few months to years the chronic disease after the ‘remission’ comes back even worse because the body has gone into the confusion that happens before autoimmune disease begins.  Please go back to some previous explanations of homeopathy and each of these concepts to better understand the process of the body according to homeopathy.

N39: Fever & Chills - Nature’s Homeopathic Response

Chills followed by fever is a beautiful example of one of homeopathy’s fundamental principles.  Like cures like, or the Law of Similars, is about giving your body more of what it is experiencing to illicit a response.  With fever and chills, we see the chills helping the body’s temperature drop so that the body can create a fever.  If their body is able to make a fever without the chills, the individual will not experience it.  Managing illness such as flu and colds is important.  One needs to remember that sometimes taking a remedy too soon will mess the totality of symptoms picture and thus making it hard to choose a good remedy.  It is important to keep people safe, but chills and fever are even accepted by allopathic medicine to be important in the body’s ability to heal itself.  Taking the fever and chills away without letting the body use them can lengthen the dis-ease and weaken the body’s natural defenses.  Looking at the individual and their specific set of symptoms and capacity to stay hydrated and happy during this period is very important. Giving the constitutional first is also well recommended. Desktop Companion To Physical Pathology by Roger Morrison, M.D. has been recommended in previous narratives and here too it is an amazing resource to consider. 
Question of the day: What do we do if they take homeopathy away from us?
Remember that homeopathy is a rediscovery of nature’s healing mechanisms and you can always go back to nature and carry out the laws of nature yourselves.

N38: A Discussion on Degenerative Arthritis/Osteoarthritis and Homeopathy

Degenerative arthritis is the same as Osteoarthritis and is at the stage where functional changes during arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis begin to take on degenerative changes. |Remember that when allopathic medicine determines a disease, they take individuals with a similar set of common symptoms and take out anything rare and peculiar.  As homeopaths we take the common symptoms out of our repertory and have to find the rare and peculiar, as well as the pain and the modalities to find a well indicated remedy for our patient.  The joints change form and the pain becomes unbearable.  When there is a change in structure in the body, especially when there is pain and disintegration there are remedies like those in the Asteraceae family and in the Acid Remedies that do amazingly for this ‘more than pain, pain’.

N37: A Discussion on Rheumatoid Arthritis and Homeopathy

What is the difference between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Arthritis? Homeopathically we do not look at the symptomatic picture of the allopathic disease to determine the disease.  It is the individual disease picture expressed by the patient during case taking that determines the remedy of choice.  No matter the disease, a homeopathic constitutional remedy is always needed.  Using Roger Morrison M.D.’s book, Desktop Companion to Physical Pathology, we can look at the nature of rheumatoid Arthritis as exhibited by the patient during a case taking – using modalities to find the rare and peculiar, you can go one step further and go deeper to find the words of the source.  Homeopathically is usually not the first choice of a patient suffering the pains and symptoms of this disease, and as a result, the patient and practitioner need to have a discussion on the need to follow up with homeopathy as well as with their allopathic doctors.  Tapering off a remedy is the responsibility of the patient and their medical doctor and does not fall under the scope of practice of homeopathy in Ontario as homeopaths are not considered primary care givers. The body can heal itself of anything it creates when the mistunement is altered in the direction of health.
Question of the day:  What can you do homeopathically if your patient comes to you and they are on heavy drugs?
