Letters to the Editor
Congratulations on bringing out another very good issue on Brain. You have achieved the impossible of bringing out another issue on record time. The introductory comments by our dear friend Dr Asrani in important articles or cases in that issue will enhance tremendously the utility of the magazine, as it is an integration of allopathic diagnosis and cme with Homoeo-practice. Special thanks to Dr Asrani for his overflowing generosity in freely transmitting to our readers his fund of knowledge and clinical acumen.

Hahnemannian Greetings! Best Wishes for the New-year!!

My Views and Thoughts:
Comments on Editorial 4/03 on untimely death of Homoeopaths. Nature’s Law: Birth is permanent foe is death. Whenever and wherever the vital force diminishes, then it falls prey to death. The fundamental causes of unripe deaths is as follows: Firstly, genetic effect. Secondly, effects of environmental influences. Organon Aphorism No 74, 78, 81 relating to effect of allopathic medicines, miasms and heredity respectively: from this we can understand that our ancestors and those who lived during the lifetime of Dr Hahnemann were diseased in some way or other. Among those diseased people, a few were selected under the assumption that they were healthy. The select few were subjected to drug proving. As this process was done, one could understand that the selected group also might be having poor Vital force. In case, the patient recovers from his ill-health on account of the homoeopathic treatment based upon nature’s law of cure ‘Similia Similibus Curantur’, it can be considered that the vital force of the person subjected to drug proving is similar to the proved similar medicine administered to the person in consideration of the symptoms of the disease. In case, the expected results do not occur, it means that they are not similar. ‘The Homoeopathic Law of Similars’ applies here too. The reason for revealing my inner thoughts here is that the Homoeopathic Medical System must improve and be at par with the Allopathic Medical System. The vital force is as essential as the heart. Wherever in Homoeopathy system the lack of vital force prevails, that should be rectified. Then only the premature deaths of Homoeopaths may be lessened.
