It is sad to see, a large
number of Homoeopathic Graduates coming out and not practicing
Homoeopathy. They do not have faith in Homoeopathic medicines.
Comparing it with other system of medicine they fall an easy
prey to that system of medicine. Today a large number of
patients suffer from diabetes, blood pressure, heart and kidney
problems. The other system of medicine seem to have an immediate
treatment for all the above problems and seeing the Homoeopathic
Graduate is attracted to it.
Why is it so? Where is the
problem? What is the solution to it?
Way back in
the 1900 Dr J. T. Kent and Dr Stuart Close saw the problem and
also gave an solution to it then, which escaped the reasoning
mind. In the preface to LECTURES ON HOMOEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY, by
Dr J.T. Kent, he writes” Homoeopathy
is now extensively disseminated over the world, but, strange to
say, by none are its doctrines so distorted as by many of its
pretended devotees. Homoeopathics treats of both the science
and the art of healing by the law of similars, and if
the art is to remain and progress among men the science
must be better understood than at present.To apply the art
without the science is merely a pretension, and such practice
should be relegated to the domain of empiricism.To safely
practice the art of curing sick people, the homoeopathic
physician must know the science.”
And also in
THE GENIUS OF HOMOEOPATHY chapter 10, Dr Stuart Close
writes.” When homœopathic colleges teach homœopathy in
every appropriate chair; when homœopathic hospitals and
homœopathic clinics are conducted on homœopathic principles; and
when homœopathic physicians make at least a sincere attempt
to prescribe homœopathic remedies for their patients; then,
and not before, will the/principles of common honesty
find their application in the homœopathic medical profession. It
is a breach of trust to do otherwise. The moral obligation
is upon every man who is affiliated with a homœopathic
institution, and upon every physician who professes the name of
homœopathy, to be true to homœopathic principles.”
How true and
painful it is to see even though the Homoeopathic Principles are
taught, Dr Hahnemann’s Homoeopathy is tought, there seems to be
no life in it. The teaching faculty do not seem to impress upon
the young Graduate’s mind about Homoeopathy. A number of
patients are being treated in the Homoeopathic institutional
hospital and clinics, still the Graduate fails to see the cure.
In a certain condition everybody seem to be helpless and what
happens is this, the patient is send to the other hospital or
else the other system of medicine doctor comes along and manages
the case. Seeing this the young Graduate’s spirit is crushed to
the ground, looses faith in Homoeopathy and claims that
Homoeopathy can do nothing.
Now the need
of the hour is that the teaching faculty has to make a sincere
attempt to prove the superiority of Homoeopathy over all the
other systems of medicine. The solution is simple.
First :-
Understand Homoeopathy and make others to understand it.
Secondly :-
Apply the art with the science.
Thirdly :-
Fallow and be true to its principles.
According to
Dr Herbert Roberts THE PRINCIPLES AND ART OF CURE BY
HOMOEOPATHY, chapter 1, he writes” Homœopathy is founded upon
principles that are in turn founded upon natural laws. If
homœopathy is founded upon natural law, it is as basic and
eternal as the hills; more, natural laws were formulated before
the hills came into being. If a man follows where homœopathy
leads, he must be able to follow those laws and to hold close to
them regardless of the pressure of influence.”
Homoeopathy
has much to offer to the young Graduate in terms of name, fame
and money.
Set an
example to the students, only then the young graduate will have
faith in homoeopathy, practice Homoeopathy and only then will
Homoeopathy flourish and will cure the sick masses.
