3. § 67 SIXTH EDITION OF ORGANON OF MEDICINE
…the operation of curing is comprised in the three following
points:
I. How is the physician to ascertain what is necessary to be known
in order to cure the disease?
II. How is he to gain a knowledge of the instruments adapted for
the cure of the natural disease, the pathogenetic powers of the
medicines?
III.What is the most suitable method of employing these artificial
morbific agents (medicines) for the cure of natural disease?

4. DIAGNOSIS ISTHE MAIN NEEDTO ENSURE A CURE
Diagnosis means the art and act of identifying the disease
from its signs and symptoms.
The role of diagnosis in Homoeopathy is not a new idea.

5. “Elimination of the useless may gradually take place with
the growth of accurate physiological and pathological
knowledge.”
The vast and extremely elaborated text in the available
books of Homoeopathy often causes difficulty for the
beginners as well as to practitioners running short of time
for reading, revising and applying. Now we should
eliminate insignificant background and ornaments from
remedy portraits.
IN HIS 9TH EDITION OF ‘POCKET MANUAL OF HOMOEOPATHIC
MATERIA MEDICA’,WILLIAM BOERICKE SAYS-

6. THE ART OF FOCUS-THE ELIMINATION OF UNWANTED ELEMENTS-
Looking at several
diseases/ remedies
at a time
Looking at similar
diseases/ remedies
at a time
Looking at correct
disease/ similimum
remedy at a time
IGNORE UNWANTED DETAILS AND ORNAMENTS IN A PORTRAITYOU
DO NOT NEEDTO CONSIDER

7. Intention must be essentially to reduce the bulky and difficult text of
Materia medica into very simple and easy to understand universal
medical terminology i.e. ‘diagnosis’. Diagnosis is the identification of
the nature of an illness or other problem by examination of the
symptoms.
In contemporary era, the diagnosis of the illness is often asked by
patients for their satisfaction. On the other hand, the disease
diagnosis is also important in determining the depth, nature and
outcome of the disease.This will help in deciding the nature of
remedy to be used as well as posology for complete cure.
IN HIS 9TH EDITION OF ‘POCKET MANUAL OF HOMOEOPATHIC
MATERIA MEDICA’,WILLIAM BOERICKE SAYS-

8. $3. If the physician understands what is curable in
disease, and understands what is curative in medicines,
and understands how to apply the medicines (according
to well defined principles) to the disease, and knows
how to remove conditions which prevent the patient
from getting well, he is a true physician.
$4.The need to recognize and remove the maintaining
causes.
HAHNEMANN’SVIEWS ONVALUE OF DIAGNOSIS ($ 3-4)

9. $5. Pay attention to the exciting cause and the fundamental
cause (which is usually a chronic disease) including the
patient's character, activities, way of life, habits, etc.
$6.There is no need for metaphysical speculation. Diseases
are the totality of the perceptible symptoms *
$7.To cure, you only need to treat the totality [not
symptomatic palliation; a single symptom is not the disease]
HAHNEMANN’SVIEWS ONVALUE OF DIAGNOSIS ($ 5-7)

10. For selecting the case-
Proper diagnosis is a must to decide the type of
treatment
Elimination of the cases-
Elimination of cases requiring surgical or mechanical
management
THE DIAGNOSIS IS NECESSARY FOR-

11. In secondary manifestations, the primary ones are masked.
Diagnosis in case with vague/ obscure symptoms may give
hint towards the seat and nature of the disease.
Diagnosis in the case with multi system involvement gives
hint towards the area of severity and help in the institution of
treatment.
In acute and chronic manifestation, separation of
symptomatology of two is possible through the knowledge
of diagnosis.
THE DIAGNOSIS IS NECESSARY FOR- PLAN OFTREATMENT-

12. Diagnosis gives the idea about the pathological and
constitutional tendencies, that help us to decide whether a
constitutional, miasmatic or palliative medicine is required.
Laboratory investigation reports or diagnosis definitely help us
to access the effect of depth of disease, medicine, progress
etc.
To decide the correct diet and regimen with general
management.
THE DIAGNOSIS IS NECESSARY FOR- PLAN OFTREATMENT-

13. In the evaluation of symptom, from the knowledge of
diagnosis we can separate symptoms of the disease from the
symptoms of the patient.
Sieving out the peculiar, uncommon, characteristic
individualizing symptoms from the various symptoms.
Helping us in the assessment of the real significance of the
new symptom in the course of treatment after first
prescription.Whether the new symptom belongs to the
remedy or due to the further progress of the disease.
THE DIAGNOSIS IS NECESSARY FOR- SELECTION OF MEDICINE-

14. Cautious us in the use of deep acting violent remedies in
too low or too high potencies when there is advanced
pathological condition.
In accessing the depth of disease.
From the pathologically diagnosed condition, certain
nosodes may be prepared.
Help in the selection of potency.
THE DIAGNOSIS IS NECESSARY FOR- SELECTION OF MEDICINE-

15. Diagnosis provides the proper knowledge of general
management including provision and exclusion of diet and
regimen, exercise or rest, and any other accessory
management.
To prevent contagious disease arising from an acute miasm,
diagnosis alone guides us in notifying and instituting proper
preventive measures.
The effectiveness of our system can demonstrate to scientific
society only through diagnosis based statistical data.
THE DIAGNOSIS IS NECESSARY FOR- GENERAL MANAGEMENT,
PROPHYLAXIS AND PREPARING STATISTICAL DATA-

16. FAMOUS PATHOLOGIST AND AUTHOR WILLIAM BOYD SAYS-
• Man is more than the
sum of his parts.
• There are no diseases,
but only sick people.
• For this is the great
error of our day in the
treatment of the
human body, that
physicians separate
the soul from the body.

17. J. H. CLARKE, IN HIS BOOK, ‘THE PRESCRIBER’, SAYS-
“In most cases there are more remedies than one that will
benefit; and if the exact similimum is not found, the next or
the next to that will give a measure of help; so the beginner
need not abandon the ideal as too difficult of attainment.Then
there are many different kinds of similarity, as well as of
degrees, and every kind is available for the prescriber's use.”
“There is similarity between drug and disease in organ-affinity;
in tissue-affinity; there is similarity of diathesis; similarity of
sensations and conditions-all these and other kinds of like-ness
are available for the prescriber to find his correspondence in”.

18. DIAGNOSIS HELPS IN DECIDINGTHE BEST SUITABLE POTENCY-

19. FROMTHE RULINGS LAID DOWN BY CENTRAL COUNCIL OF
HOMOEOPATHY
 Iii. Duties of homoeopathic practitioners to their patients
10. Patient not be neglected (1)
 A practitioner of homoeopathy is free to choose whom he will
serve provided he shall respond to any request for his
assistance in an emergency or whenever temperate public
opinion expects the service.
12. Acts of negligence (1)
(4) A practitioner of homoeopathy shall use any drug prepared
according to homoeopathic principles and adopt other
necessary measures as required.

20. NECESSARY MEASURES OTHERTHAN MEDICINE
 Correction and maintenance of airways, breathing, circulation etc.
Fluid and electrolytes balancing
Maintenance of BP by i.v. Fluids and homoeopathic remedies
Supplementation by oxygen, blood transfusion and nutrients
Minor surgeries as first aid and stoppage of bleeders prior to refer to
concerned specialist
Fixation of fractures etc. Prior to refer to concerned specialist
Conduction of normal labor and maintaining the complicated patient
prior to refer to concerned specialist
CPR, defibrillation, shock management and ventilator use.

21. SOME RESTRICTIONS IN ADOPTING SO CALLED NECESSARY
MEASURES
There are some rumble strips in the way of modernized Homoeopathy. It seems
we have restricted rights. Some examples are-
 Most of the government officials and even general public thinks that the i.v. Use
of saline, supplements, blood transfusion etc. Is not the part of homoeopathy.
 The use of Ryle’s tube, Foley's catheter, ventilator etc. Is presumed not to be
related to homoeopathy.
 Minor surgical procedures, even FNAC and biopsies
 Cardiac examinations like ECG,TMT and echocardiography
 Pathological tests
 Radiological investigations

22. QUESTION INTREATING COVID 19 PATIENTS
Government is
issuing certificates
as ‘Trained Covid 19
Practitioner’ to the
Homoeopaths and
local authorities
raise queries if a
homoeopath treats
a Covid 19 victim.

23. INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND HOMOEOPATHY
 CCH confirms asThere is Right to participate in public health and epidemics

24. CCRH HAS NO DATA AVAILABLE ON
COVID 19 PANDEMIC
• No data available on persons vaccinated
• No data available on Covid episodes no. 1 or 2
• No data available on juvenile Covid 19
• No data available on mortality by Covid 19
• No data available on ill effects of allopathic
vaccination
• No clear cut answer on Homoeopathic
vaccination and its authenticity (as allopathic
vaccination is certified by GOI

25. EMPLOYMENT OF AUXILIARY NECESSARY MEASURES
You can use-
Measures to correct ABC- (airways, breathing and circulation)
Foley’s catheter to empty bladder
Oxygen mask for O2 support
Bi-pep/ c-pep/ ventilator for breathing support
Gastric lavage for GI washing (with normal saline solution and
lubricants)

26. • Antidotes to certain poisons
• Defibrillator for cardiac arrhythmia and cardiac arrest
• Stabilization of fractures
• Closure of wounds with sutures
• Stoppage of bleeders with artery forceps and sutures/ ligation/ cautery
• Use of suction to clear airways
• And so on…
EMPLOYMENT OF AUXILIARY NECESSARY MEASURES

27. Only in the most urgent cases, where danger to life and imminent death allow no
time for the action of a homoeopathic remedy - not hours, sometimes not even
quarter-hours, and scarcely minutes - in sudden accidents occurring to previously
healthy individuals - for example, in asphyxia and suspended animation from
lightning, from suffocation, freezing, drowning, etc.- Is it admissible and judicious, at
all events as a preliminary measure to stimulate the irritability and sensibility (the
physical life) with a palliative, as for instance, with gentle electrical shocks, with
clysters of strong coffee, with a stimulating odor, gradual application of heat, etc.
When this stimulation is effected, the play of the vital organs again goes on in its
former healthy manner, for there is here no disease* to be removed, but merely an
obstruction and suppression of the healthy vital force.To this category belong
various antidotes to sudden poisoning: alkalies from mineral acids, Hepar sulph for
metallic poisons, coffee and Camphora (and Ipecac) for poisoning by Opium, etc.
§ 67 SIXTH EDITION OF ORGANON OF MEDICINE

28. CCH CONFIRMSTHE USE
OF NECESSARY
AUXILIARY MEASURES
Right to use
supplementation and
routine diagnostic methods

29. EMPLOYMENT OF AUXILIARY NECESSARY MEASURES
You can use-
Nebulizer with certain homoeopathic remedies
Ryle’s tube for feeding, administration of certain remedies as
mother tinctures etc.

30. § 286 SIXTH EDITION OF ORGANON OF MEDICINE
The dynamic force of minerals magnets, electricity and galvanism act no less
powerfully upon our life principle and they are not less homoeopathic than
the properly so-called medicines which neutralize disease by taking them
through the mouth, or by rubbing them on the skin or by olfaction.There
may be diseases, especially diseases of sensibility and irritability, abnormal
sensations, and involuntary muscular movements which may be cured by
those means. But the more certain way of applying the last two as well as
that of the so-called electromagnetic lies still very much in the dark to make
homoeopathic use of them. So far both electricity and galvanism have been
used only for palliation to the great damage of the sick.The positive, pure
action of both upon the healthy human body have until the present time
been but little tested.

31. EMPLOYMENT OF AUXILIARY NECESSARY MEASURES
You can use-
Sessions of counselling

32. § 293 FIFTH EDITION OF ORGANON OF MEDICINE
The smallest homoeopathic dose, which however, often effects wonders
when used on proper occasions. Imperfect homoeopathists, who think
themselves monstrously clever, not infrequently deluge their patients in
difficult diseases with doses of different medicines, given rapidly one after
the other, which, although they may have been homoeopathically selected
and given in highly potentized attenuation, bring the patients into such an
over-excited state that life and death are struggling for the mastery, and the
least additional quantity of medicine would infallibly kill them. In such cases
a mere gentle mesmeric pass and the frequent application, for a short time
of the hand of a well-intentioned person to the part that is particularly
affected, produce the harmonious uniform distribution of the vital force
throughout the organism, and therewith rest, sleep and recovery.
