Clinical Research and Homoeopathy

 
Dear Readers,
       Homoeopathy faces challenges from the days of discovery. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of this excellent system of healing faced enormous hurdles and challenges. Despite of the troubles the wonderful system has grown up in heights. Today the scientific community seeks for the scientific explanation how it works and the high dilutions have been under the eye of microscopic study to find the materials.

    
      We know Homoeopathic system is a holistic system which holds the theory of dynamism. The vital principle, the dynamic disease and the dynamic medicines cannot be explained by scientific parameters. However the theories on Memory of Water and Quantum mechanics and the latest scientific explanation on a new method for detecting viral infections which bore close parallels to the basic tenets of homeopathy by the French scientist Professor Luc Montagnier gave boost to homoeopathy

      The scientific community tries to apply the conventional methods on Homoeopathy for the clinical Research studies which could report flaws. Homoeopathic case study is based on individual approach so the methods adopted for theory study like one remedy fitting all or double blind controlled study with placebos will not be possible. Of course Randomised control studies with supervision of a qualified Homoeopathic physician could be possible to some extent, because results are from the individualistic prescription of a physician.

      Dr. Hahnemann has given a wonderful art of curing the chronic diseases by the “Theory of Chronic Diseases”. Everybody should inspire his sayings and implement it to be successful on incurables, which is not possible with other systems of medicines.

with regards
Dr.P.Mukundan.
