The Perfect Prescription

My father had 40 years experience in treating patients with homoeopathy, could tackle most cases without any fear or doubt because he was a firm follower of Dr. E.B. Nash. Even today any doctor who follows Nash will be able to tackle any case however complicated.
Although the law "Similia Similibus Curentur is the same for such homoeopath, the way of approach differs.
Those who lack mental ability and confidence practise polypharmacy. None of our masters have ever used mixed medicines or even alternated medicines may be, in emergencies.
ALTERNATIONS:
On page 108 of his "Leaders" on Hyoscyamus-niger, Dr. Nash says - "When delirium goes beyond the power of Rhus to control, I suspend the Rhus for a day or two and give Hyoscyamus which will so improve the case, that Rhus may come into use again and carry it to a successful termination. This is the only alternation that I am ever guilty of; it is like Hahnemann when he alternated Bryonia and Rhus in fevers."
He adds while explaining Kali-iod (138, 139) - "it is just here that we Homoeopaths believe that such vague general terms as alternation, tonics, narcotics etc., are too unmeaningful for the purpose of close prescribing and therefore misleading. They allow the doctor to prescribe loosely a class of remedies, instead of the particular remedy of that class best adapted to the individual case. We claim great superiority for our system of prescribing, which is based upon a system of proving which brings out the closest, finest shades of difference between remedies belonging to a class of remedies. There must be no substitution of one for the other, if we would do the finest prescribing possible." This is also true in some emergencies. "I do not believe in so called compatibles as some do. I should give Causticum after Phosphorus, if found their indicated." (Page 206) or Silicea after Mercury or Rhus-tox after Apis-mel.
SYMPTOMATOLOGY:
Whatever the name of the disease (already diagnosed) in the latest technology we have to extract rare and unusual symptoms though it seems to be not at all connected to the original disease. We will have to search out his whole life history to catch such rare seemingly unimportant symptoms. Dr. C. Hering in his Analytical repertory of the symptoms of the mind on page 24 - "Here we decide all cases by symptoms which in the pathology are scarcely mentioned, nearly always being considered of not the slightest importance." And also adds - "In most cases the last medicine employed allopathically or homoeopathically forms the main indication for the next choice." and "In all chronic and lingering cases, the symptoms appearing last, even though they appear insignificant are always the most important in regard to the selection of a drug." Dr. Chimthanawala used Penicillin in renal disorder case 2 on page 185 and 186 of NJH (June 1994) and got miraculous results.
EMERGENCY:
In the Accoucheurs Emergency manual by Dr. W.A. Yingling, he writes in the introduction-" Let the physician be true to homoeopathy, and it will never fail him in emergency. Live or die true to your declared principles." (page 13) "A physician has more to do than keep his patients and make money. He must respect the honour of his profession. (Page 17). The more danger to the life the more speedily will the homoeopathic remedy act. This is a fact corroborated by the experience of the best prescribers. (Page 20). I have several times observed such miracle cures within few seconds in dangerous cases which no other private practitioners will dare undertake.
Homoeopathic drugs act through the nerves of the tongue and act in seconds. The answer is obtained in a matter of minutes. Thus it is easier than solving chronic cases.
I have used 10M potency of drugs like China-off, Lach, Kali-ph, Ars-alb in life and death situation of cold sweats (who could have died in half an hour) frequently - every five minutes - 3-4 doses do the trick. Such severe cases need a glass of hot milk as a follow up. Soon after the favorable reaction we must stop the medicine.
Potency Problem:
I prescribe 200 potency of nine doses for three days and if required 10 M, 6 pills twice a day for three days each. 50M or CM twice a day for at least 2 days.
People who take food rich in spices like - ginger, garlic, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, nut-meg, saffron, mint, lime and lots of capsicum require high potencies and repeated doses to achieve curative process.
Kents Philosophy, page 257 reads "The third, fourth or sixth are dangerous potencies if you are a good prescriber but if you are a poor prescriber but if you are a poor prescriber it will do nothing. You will naturally go to higher and higher potency for the purpose of departing from what seems to be a poisonous dose."
Diet:
Lime juice, pickle and ginger are great antidotes to all homoeopathic medicines. Strong smelling cosmetics, tobacco, agarbatti, sprays or local applications like amrutanjan, zandu balm etc. should be avoided.
