I WANT TO SEE A WORLD WITH MINIMUM SUFFERINGS WHERE A CHILD WOULD SMILE WITHOUT PAIN OF MEDICINES........BIG TABLETS, INJECTIONS, OPERATIONS, INNUMERABLE UNWANTED INVESTIGATIONS, ANTIBIOTICS, STEROIDS, UNNECESSARY VACCINATIONS, INTERMITTENT OUTCOME OF NEW DISEASES AND THEIR NEW MEDICATIONS......A FUTILE EFFORT WHICH UNDERMINES THE HEALTH OF HUMAN BEING AND GRADUALLY THRUSH THEM IN THE DARK FATHOMLESS AURA OF UNHEALTHY EXISTENCE FROM WHICH ANYONE IS UNABLE TO REGAIN PROPER HEALTH AND IT ENDS IN THE GRAVEYARD.......THE STORY DOESN’T ENDS HERE, COMING GENERATION STARTS FROM WHERE THEIR PARENTS ENDED, ONLY TO REACH THE GRAVEYARD HASTILY I.E. IN A MUCH SHORTER SPAN THAN THEIR ANCESTORS.
I THINK IT IS CLEAR TO ALL MY HIGHLY ESTEEMED READERS, MY PATIENTS, MY FOLLOWERS THAT THE VISION IS VERY PRUDENT IN PRESENT HEALTH SCENARIO OF THE WORLD, TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT FREE FROM DUPLICACY IN THE NAME OF TREATING AILED PEOPLE ALREADY IN TROUBLE, RATHER TO BRING THEM UP IN A DISEASE FREE STATE AND NOT TO PUSH THEM IN A MORE COMPLICATED STATE OF HEALTH.
The word "Homoeopathy" is Latin, which means similar suffering. (Homoeo = similar and pathy = suffering). Substances possessing poisonous property to produce sufferings in healthy human beings when used in small doses become medicines to cure natural diseases of similar sufferings. This was an old principle stated by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. A German allopathic doctor named Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) verified the above principle convincingly while investigating into the reason for cure of malaria by cinchona. He subsequently continued research with the verification of results on similar experiments made and founded a new system of medicine, to which he gave the name as Homoeopathy. It was he who had named the prevalent western system of medicine as Allopathy because he had proved medicines used in allopathy to treat a particular disease, as producing opposite or indifferent signs and symptoms (Allo = opposite; pathy = suffering) when tested in healthy human beings, than those of the disease treated.
Homoeopathic treatment is now recognized in almost all developed and developing countries of the world. It is second in importance and popularity of various systems of treatment available in India.
It was never an aim of my life to become a homoepath. Like most of us, i came to study homoeopathy in Kolkata as i didn’t get a chance to study allopathic system of medicine. Accidentally, my destiny brought me to the city of joy which is also known as the MAKKA of homoeopathy, and also in the best college of homoeopathy in all over india as well as world i.e NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HOMOEOPATHY (N.I.H). After being a student of homoeopathy, started learning with an almost broken heart. As my days were passing in N.I.H, got an opportunity to see a huge no of patients getting treated by homoeopathy daily in the OPD. Most of the cases were chronic, difficult to treat and nevertheless tried all other systems of medicines with very unsatisfactory results. Observing the wonderful results, got some hope and started attending OPD and standing behind our teachers to observe and follow them, how they are doing the wonders with these so called “ tiny sweet pills”. As my days passed i came across and had an opportunity to learn from our well known teachers, like , DR. SUNIRMAL SARKAR, DR.SOUMENDU ADHIKARY, DR. L.M.KHAN, DR.S.Z KHAN and lots more. They are the stalwarts of homoeopathy in present era. Among all them, i was lucky enough to get an opportunity to be associated with dr.sunirmal sarkar, an excellent teacher, an extraordinary speaker and a successful practitioner of homoeopathy.I Started attending his OPD, classes, clinics. Had a tremendous and wonderful experience of learning and treating patients with him, even the most dreaded diseases like cancer and what not. While learning with him, observed the beautiful and unbelievable efficacy of homoeopathic medicines, which turned my mind to be a homoeopath in true sense.
ADVENT OF HOMOEOPATHY IN INDIA –
The history of Homoeopathy in india can be traced as far back as the year 1835 when a Romanian man Dr. John Martin Honigberger visited India. He was called in by the Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Lahore who was suffering from paralysis of the vocal cords with swelling of the feet. He treated the Maharaja dispensing “Dulcamara” in wine, in low potency. This medicine cured him. The Maharaja was also impressed when he treated his favourate horse of his ulcer of the leg. Dr. Honigberger became the chief physician of his court.
Later on after the Maharaja’s death Dr. Honigberger shifted to Calcutta. In Calcutta, he was known as the “Cholera Doctor”. He wrote many books among which were “Thirty five years in The East, Adventures, Discoveries, Experiments and Historical sketches of Punjab and Kashmir”. He practised in Calcutta up to 1860. Dr. Honigberger happened to go to Vienna and caught Cholera. He saved himself by taking Ipecac, every half an hour. This incident greatly impressed him and he started dispensing Homeopathic medicines both for himself and for others.
In 1836 in Tanjoor, Dr. Samuel Brookling, a retired surgical officer, dispensed homoeopathic medicines to his civilians and army officers stationed at Madras. In 1836-1867 Dr. Mahendra Lal Sircar, learned about Homoeopathy from a layman, Rajendralal Dutta, popularly known as Babu Rajen Dutta. He had a number of cases to his credit. He cured Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar of asthma and also cured gangrene of the foot of Maharani of Shorapur, and greatly impressed Raja Sir Radhakanta Deb Bahadur of Shorapur. On 16th February 1867, Dr. Sircar wrote an article condemning allopathy titled "On the Supposed Uncertainity in Medical Science and the Relationship between Diseases and Medicine". He was the first man to start a journal on homoeopathy – “India Medical Review” and to attend the first Homoeopathic National Congress conference under the chairmanship of Dr. C. Hering.
In 1867 Dr. Salzar of Vienna was the founder of Homoeopathic education in India. He influenced two persons towards homoeopathy namely Dr. P. C. Majumdar and Dr. B. L. Bhaduri. Dr. Majumdar along with Dr. Roy, Dr. B. N. Banerjee and Dr. Younan established the first Homoeopathic college in India in the year 1878 under the name of "Calcutta Homoeopathic Medical College". Dr. S. C. Ghosh proved many drugs from the Indian herbs and gave them to his patients in low potency with great results. He compiled a book named “Drugs of Hindustan”. Unfortunately, nobody noticed this book, until 1970-1971, when the “Central Council for Research in Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy” (CCRIM & H) unearthed the book and a number of drugs were proved.
In August 1869, a Bengali named Babu Priyanath Bose started a hospital with an OPD (Out Patient Department) in Allahabad. It was at this centre that Mr. Motilal Nehru took treatment during his struggle for freedom.
In 1880 Father Augustus Mueller, a priest and teacher of a school founded by the Society of Jesus in Kankanady in Manglore, started dispensing free homoeopathic drugs.
In 1902 there was an epidemic of pneumonic plague and Father Augustus Muller treated most of the people successfully. He established a plague and leprosy clinic. Seeing this, the British presented him with the "Kaiser-e-Hind" award. He also wrote a book entitled "Twelve Tissue Remedies".
In 1937 the British government had not recognised this system of medicine and it was for the first time that M.L.A. Miyan Ghias-ud-idin passed a regulation in the Bengal Assembly to allow recognition and patronage to homoeopathy. Thus, homoeopathy was introduced in Bengal for the first time in the pre-independence years.
After independence, the Government was more sympathetic and on 17th Feburary 1948, Sir Satis Chandra Samanta, M.P from West-Bengal, piloted a move in the constituent assembly to establish a Central Agitation Body i.e. Central Council of Homoeopathy. This was passed after a modification by Mr. Mohan Lal Saxena M.P (U.P). It was supported by Dr. Pattabhi Sitaramayya, the President of India. Some of the important items in the draft proposal given by the representative of the All India Institute of Homoeopathy to the Government of India was of great help to put the education of homoeopathy on a firm base.
In 1944, the Government of India set up a five member committee with the Late Dr. L. D. Dhawale being one of its members. He requested the Government to recognise and allow Homoeopathic practice and teaching. He wrote a book in Marathi called the “Homoeopathic Chikitsa”. He was the spearhead in starting the "Government Homoeopathic Hospital".
In 1946 the "Council of Homoeopathy" of West Bengal was established with homoeopathy being recognised.
Dr. B. K. Sarkar, (M. D.), was a renowned teacher in Homoeopathic Philosophy at Calcutta Homoeopathic Medical College. His contribution to homoeopathy was enormous. His commentaries on the 5th edition of The Organon were well known. Dr. S. P. Dey compiled one of his collections into "Essay on Homoeopathy".
Dr. B. K Bose the “Grand Teacher of Homoeopathy” passed his M.D. from Chicago and was a direct student of Dr. Kent. He was an excellent teacher in Materia Medica.
In 1952-1954 the National Congress Government appointed a small committee – Homoeopathic Reference Committee constituted by Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, the Union Health Minister of India (1952). Dr. J. C. Mukerjee was nominated as chairman of this committee comprising of six homoeopathic practitioners and four allopaths.
In 1956, the need for creating a post of Honorary Advisor in the committee was felt. However, the Government approved of this post in 1960, and Dr. Krishna Gopal Saxena was the first to be appointed.
The Government of India constituted a Central Council of Health, which was a committee of Health Ministers from all states and was headed by the Union Minister. This committee used to meet once a year. It passed a resolution that each state would give recognition to Homoeopathic colleges from 1960.
The Planning Commission of India gave free aid to colleges from 1966 onwards. Soon, 20 colleges availed of this facility. They were given aid to start libraries and laboratories. One of the colleges to benefit from this was the Pune Homoeopathic College.
In 1966, the Central Government, under the Ministry of Health passed a bill, which was a joint bill for setting up a Central Council of the Indian system of Medicine and Homoeopathy. This act was passed in 1969, when Ayurveda was recognised and the Central Council of Ayurveda was formed.
In 1970, the Government proposed a separate bill on homoeopathy. It took one year before this bill was submitted to the parliament as new health ministers had been appointed. The Prime Minister gave consent to pass this bill in 1971, but unfortunately, because of mid-term elections, it was delayed.
On 3rd April 1972, it was introduced in the Rajya Sabha. A Joint Select Committee under the chairmanship of Smt. Purabi Mukhopadhayay (M.P. West Bengal) was formed. This committee worked for all the colleges.
On 19th December 1973, the President gave his consent to the bill and thus the “Homoeopathy Central Council Act 1973” was passed. The necessity of this bill was felt long back because most of the states had recognised colleges but the course was not established. Therefore, there was a lot of confusion as doctors could not migrate to other states to practise.
This Act achieved the following :
During this time, the Government of India constituted a research organisation called the Central Council for Research in Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy (CCRIM & H).
In 1972, the Central Research Institute at Calcutta was established by the Government of India and three regional research institutes were set up at Delhi, Kottayam and Orissa.
"It is not merely a collection of few medicines but a new Science with a rational philosophy as its base. We require more scientific interest and inquiry into the matter with special stress upon the Indian environments."
"An allopath comes and treats cholera patients and gives them his medicines. The Homeopath comes and gives his medicines and cures perhaps more than the allopath does because the Homoeopath does not disturb the patients but allows the nature to deal with them."
"I believe Homoeopathy as a system of cure has great scope in a poor country like India and deserves encouragement."
"Homeopathy did not merely seek to cure a disease but treated a disease as a sign of disorder of the whole human organism. This was also recognized in the Upanishad which spoke of human organs as combination of body mind and spirit. Homoeopathy would pay an important part in the Public Health of the country along with other systems. Medical facilities in India are so scanty that Homoeopathy can confidently visualize a vast field of expansion"
"Homoeopathic treatment is my first choice not only for me but also for my family. Homoeopathy should be developed as full-fledged alternative system of medicine. More research and more development are essential to make Homoeopathy more popular and useful Homoeopath treats their patients in more compassionate way. Homoeopathy is second largest system of medicine being practiced in India."
"Homoeopathy, unaided by the State, has wonderful progress to its credit. Its cheapness, its simplicity is remarkable. The cures it has affected are no less remarkable. I have no doubt; therefore, that it deserves state patronage as any other system of medicine."
"The introduction of homeopathy forced the old school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of the allopaths to destroy it."
