This Issue contains the Vth part of interview of Jesemy Scherr, where he talks about provings of noble gases Argen and Krypton. A noble gas is complete in its outer shell. It doesn’t need anybody to interact and is totally happy on its own. Nobles are complete in themselves. Krypton proving was mind blowing and powerful. If a person is straight, physically, morally, emotionally, truthful in all ways, that is when they’ve been enlightened. Krypton proving brought out these qualities. Provers felt very very centered, very in their truth and nearly enlightened !

Dr Sarabhai’s article gives his long experience with diabetic patients. He opines that modern science is limited to controlling blood sugar, and nothing more. It is doubtful whether vascular changes have decreased with the use of insulin. Some antidiabetic drugs are suspected to enhance cardiac troubles. It is interesting to note that insulin, which in small quantities is able to prevent hyperglycemic coma, in larger doses produces hypoglycemic coma. He has given number of cases to support his views-where stopping insulin, heated the suppuration faster. Hepar-sul, Silicea, Phosphorous, Calc-sulph, Secale, Lachesis and Merc are the often indicated medicines.

Dr Amiya Datta gives an interesting case of a 7 years old boy with behavioural problem and torture from father. Selection of Gallic-acid based on the rubrics: Rudness, Jealousy and cursing- proved to be a miracle.

Dr Farokh Master in his editorial clears the mist surrounding potency. There are many views, but Dr Hahnemann has given three guidelines viz. nature of the disease - acute or chronic; nature of the patient and nature of the remedy. According to Dr Kent, the selection of the best potencies is a matter of experience and observation and not the matter of the law. Whatever potency a physician uses, one potency is not sufficient for a chronic disease. It may do for acute disease. High potency may work well in non-sensitive patients with a strong vital force. A potency which may not affect a hypo-sensitive Baryta-carb, will cause tremendous aggravation in a hypersensitive pt. Normo sensitive patients have a stable Vital force, conditions are purely mental or emotional. Here 200 C or LM potency is chosen. In LM it will be four ounce of bottle, four to six succussions, taken in one tsp. In constitutional like Phos or Ars or in advanced pathology with weak vital force, drug reaction/abuse LM potency. In eight ounce bottle with two succussions and ½ tbsp dose is chosen. Or Calcarea 1 M or 10 M is chosen three pellets dry or one pellet in water.
Also discussed in the article are olfaction and skin method of administration.

Dr T K Basu gives a clinical study of Physostigma-variorum tried on 75 patients of Myopia. Different age groups were selected and the medicine was given in different potencies for six months. Patients were reviewed every 45 days. Improvement of vision was found in 45 cases in 6-20 age group. Further research is in progress.

Also published is Dr Hahnemann’s article on attenuated medicine. This was written in 1,825 as a reply to a skeptic who tried to show nothingness of Hom. The skeptic’s argument, was if a drop of such highly attenuated medicine can still act, then a drop of strong medicine in the lake of Geneva should display such power too. To this Dr Hahnemann wrote at length that it is the process of succussion and trituration that gives the spiritual dimension to the medicine making them so powerful and to doubt its efficacy itself is foolish. Even if one doubts he says, what actually takes place’ must at least be possible. He then gives an example of sparks flying off from steel when rubbed against a hard stone like agate or flint. People light their tinder in that spark ,but no one perceives what a great natural phenomenon has taken place. When these sparks are caught on a sheet of paper, small palettes of steel can be seen with naked eye or by a lens. These pellets are detached from the surface of the steel due to smart collision with the flint and fallen like small fire balls from sparks when they are cooled. It is the friction that causes such a great heat - energy to fuse steel into fire balls: Normally 3000Fú of heat is required to melt steel. He then questions: where does this tremendous heat comes from?

Not of thin air, for this phenomenon takes place in vacuum! Therefore it must come from the substances that are rubbed together. Similarly all the inert medicinal properties of a substance are brought alive when succussion takes place. He thus warns: he who pretends to be a seeker after truth will not search for where it is to be found, namely in experience, he will certainly fail to discover it.
