“You are Crazy” ; “It’s figment of your imagination”


“You are crazy”; ‘Its figment of your imagination”, have you been told something like this by a doctor, even by family and friends when you tried explaining a strange or queer symptom you have been experiencing and you were at your wits end because nobody understood you! 

Don’t despair, you are not alone.

I had case of a colleague (not into homoeopathy) who had consulted me few years ago for severe acidity.  Before the onset of the acidity attack he said “I can hear a sound, a crackling sound in the head, as if the corner edge of a paper being flipped”. 

I responded by saying WOW!!! This is a fantastic revelation; this symptom may help me zero-in the right remedy for you. 

My reaction surprised my colleague and he remarked “Ah! Really!?, At last I know I am not insane” he continued “I have told this symptom to all the doctors I consulted so far and all they had said to say was that it is a figment of my imagination, and one of them even suggested that I could visit a psychiatrist to deal with the crackling sound, while he will take care of my acidity" (obviously with antacids).

Your homeopath will be the happiest to hear your weirdest, queerest or peculiar symptom or sensation you have been experiencing.  It only means that you are listening to the clues being given out by your mind and body to help you get well.  You are never ‘Crazy’ to a homoeopath, as the real crazy ones will never be able to articulate their symptoms.  You are only helping the homoeopath to discover ‘the remedy’ that will restore you to health. 

Homoeopathy is the only system I know which takes cognizance of the weirdest of sensation as this helps them select ‘The Right Remedy’ from its armory of over 3000 + remedies.

So, when you consult a homoeopath, do disclose the queerest of symptom or sensation you may be experiencing both at mind and body level. You will be helping yourself to a speedy restoration to health by doing so. I have listed below few examples of symptoms which are strange and hence in many instances remain unexpressed by many.

Read each symptom by suffixing ‘Sensation as if…

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
