Questions to Dr. Farokh Master

To Dr. Farokh J. Master Editor-in-Chief The Homoeopathic Heritage New Delhi

Dear Dr. Master:

Thank you for sending me the Homoeopathic Heritage, Vol.28 October 2003. The issue is interesting and I may to it after reading a couple of more issues.

Your hard-hitting editorial titled DELUSION - I am an honest, intelligent and a good homoeopath, was refreshing. The 11 questions (not 12) that you have raised are not rumours or gossip. But I do not think any of your readers would stand up to prove them. If that had happened, our country would not be suffering from the cancer of corruption. Have you got any vaccine/nosode for corruption?

I too would like to ask a few unwelcome or unpalatable questions so that things are put in proper perspective.

1.. Why some of the homeopaths say (like rotten allopaths) that you may take coffee, coke, pepsi, brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste, eat what you like as long as you take correct homoeopathic medicines? This medicine-based, disease-oriented approach, forgetting the Hippocratic exhortation "let diet be your medicine", is not conducive to the growth of homeopathy.

2.. If classical homoeopathy is the only true homeopathy, then why so many compounds and complexes are available and easily prescribed? In some of these combinations there are some remedies which antidote each other. Yet, I find some of these compounds quite effective.

3.. Why the prices of homeopathic medicines, in last two years, have sky-rocketed? Is it to make hay while the sun shines? In that case, how are homeopathic pharmacies different from the modern pharma mafia who fleece the patients?

4.. If homepathic case taking is what gives the complete profile of the patient and each patient is different, then why some homeopaths too insist on modern, unreliable, costly tests? Keeping in mind the percentage?

5.. Some diseases like Muscular Dystrophy are infact diet deficiency diseases, what they in modern medicine call "genetic disorders". Do you have some gene mending medicine in Homeopathy?

6.. Can semen potency be improved by potentisation? And can potentised semen cause conception even though a woman may be having vaginal acidity? If not tried, why not try this my original premise or hypothesis instead of blindly following allopathic in-vitro fertilization technique?

7.. Why Homeopaths follow blindly the double-blind and triple-blind protocol of modern medicine, in their research, when Dr. Hahnemann rejected it?

8.. Can very high potency Arnica be prescribed for terminal cancer patients to give them "sleep death" (call it euthanasia) or tarantula cubances in terminal cases where pain unbearable, for as Ayurveda says a good death is also part of good medical practice.

9.. Finally, you are MD in Homoeopathy and "a great exponent/expert of Homeopathy". And yet why do you prescribe costly, not easily available, Iscador injections for Cancer when viscum album and several other "cancer remedies" are available in homeopathy?

Can we do some intelligent discussion on these questions too?
