Understanding Fever.......

Fever - A curse or a blessing!

An informative article by Dr. Dorland Martins, a Homoeopath and a friend...

The human body is brilliant, truly brilliant.We as humans have survived as long as we have because of the wisdom of the body. Sadly, there is a strong tendency to assume that symptoms are something wrong with the body and must be treated, or suppressed.

In fact symptoms are a vital effort of the organism in response to stress or infection, and are the body’s best effort to defend and heal itself. The body creates fever, inflammation, pain, discharge etc in order to defend and heal it.

Fever suppressants along with the overuse of medicines and exposure to multiple chemical contaminants in the environment, are at the root of the decline in children’s health and vitality, manifesting in the disablement of immune function, neurological function, and upsurge of chronic diseases today.

Fr. Britto Joseph S.J. - Empowering Health Care

Meet my first Guru who reignited my latent passion in nature consonant medicine. Fr. M. Britto Joseph s.j. a Jesuit Priest, belonging to the Madurai Province, is credited with evangelizing and proselytizing Naturopathy and Homoeopathy in India. Affordable and safe health-care has always been a need and it still continues to be a necessity for the majority of the population (middle-class and rural) in India, a country where major share of one’s earning is spent on housing and food, savings are meager, often liquidated by medical and hospitalization expenses. Families often end up in huge debt. A country that enjoys a rich heritage medicine system in the form of Ayurveda and Naturopathy is today a victim of lifestyle diseases that is only burdening the existing inadequate health-care facilities in India. It is against this background we can come to appreciate the value of Fr. Britto’s mission. Fr. Britto has done a yeoman service through his mission to make people

Aditya Homoeopathic Hospital- World's first homeopathic hospital admitting emergency, acute & life threatening cases

One weekend in October 2012, I was invited by Dr Amarsinha Nikam , M.D. Homoeopath to experience the joy of homoeopathy at his 100 bed Aditya HomoeopathicHospital and Healing Centre , Pimpri, Pune. By the end of the day, I had to qualify his quote ‘the joy of homoeopathy’ with the word ‘sublime’. This visit led to a close friendship and deeper understanding and learning the great science and art of cure - homoeopathy. What followed was an internship of over 2 years where I had the opportunity to sit alongside Dr Nikam every Saturday-Sunday and takedown detailed case history and witness his approach to prescribing. Like a true guru, he gave it all. At the consultation table, he allowed his interns to suggest their remedy along with the reasons. He would then give us his choice and express this thought process and validate it by referring it to the materia medica. Here is a doctor who dared to start a homoeopathic hospital that not just treats emergencies but ‘Critical Emerg

Homoeopathic Posology through the eyes of Dr. S.P. Koppikar

This post brings out two important segments on the –one potency selection and the other repetition. The summary is based entirely on Dr Koppikar’s book “Clinical Experience of 70 Years in Homoeopathy”. What he says is not mere theorizing but comes as a result of ‘diligent’ experience; an experience of 70 years is definitely taking serious note of… It would have been easier to scan and upload the pages but then it would be unjust to the labour of the author. The bold markings are my emphasis. Brackets and italics are my words. 1. In the chapter ‘How I learnt About Doses’ a. He talks about Anaphylaxis or Allergic Shock as a result of a single dose (unchanged) repeated on the 10th day. When his own case met with disaster he then avoided repeating the dose early. b. He then refers to Dr. Margaret Tyler who used to give 1M potency daily for 4 days and stop, with good effect. c. The opposite action of high and low potencies – he narrates his verified experien
