50 years practice in homeopathy
In this lecture Dr. Srinivasan will share his personal recollections and
reflections on his profession:
I will tell how homeopathy made me from a frail, puny, youth to a healthy
person. And how my interest in studying the source books made me learn
German, as well as the joy of reading the source material and the contemporary
German journals. I still practice "orthodox" homeopathy, i.e. I do not
use any software, and I do not use the computer to repertorise with tens of
rubrics.
Homeopathy is community medicine and is needed to be used more often
among the economically poor and needy. It should be the people’s medicine
and should not be let to be high-jacked by big hospitals and high-tech
promoters, nor should it be dependent on instruments. Homeopathy is
complete and does not need any "modernisation" or "innovation.”
We should not fight shy of the terminology fundamentalist; the word by
itself is alright, even if it is perverted as a smear word. No need to bend
backward to place "evidences" acceptable to the scientific school.
"Restore the sick to health" - that is the only calling.
50 years practice in homeopathy - cases
Dr. Srinivasan will give an account of selected cases he treated during 50
years of homeopathic practice in Chennai, Southern India:
50 years ago there were very few books and a small number of practitioners.
So though it was small, homeopathy was a well-knit world. The few
books could be learnt by heart. I´ll only touch such cases where one
remedy only was given and there was good response and that was all the
case. A response which baffled the "specialists.” In a practice where one
has to see on an average 50 patients at least per day, including new.
Pathologies which come to the homeopath in an advanced stage - which is
the general experience of almost all homeopaths.
Dr. Kalpathi Subramaniam Srinivasan M.D. (India), is truly a doyen of
Indian homeopathy. Firmly rooted in both his own Indian culture and the
work of the great Western homeopaths of the 19th and 20th centuries, his
working method is characterized by precision and straightforwardness. As
a practitioner and teacher with five decades of working experience,
Dr. Srinivasan has collected a vast library of classical works in homeopathy
and he has written countless scientific papers for journals in India and
abroad, including the German Zeitschrift für Klassische Homöopathie
(ZKH). Among others, Dr. Srinivasan is the author of the Additions to
Classical Materia Medica of Clarke and member of the scientific advisory
board of the ZKH.
