GOLDEN RULES OF ACUTE PRESCRIBING

1) BE A MINIMUM PRESCRIBER: As every acute disease initates a reacton in the body called
'immune-response', most of the infectons or the acute illnesses are self-limitngg If and only if the
organism or the body fails to recover within stpulated tme, the physician is justied in interfering
with a homoeopathic remedy assistng the body to recoverg

Cure or recovery should be brought about by reacton of the organism (the patent's body) to our
remedy rather than acton of our remedyg Bringing down fevers with Ferrum-Phos, Belladonna,
Aconite, Azadirachta, Eucalyptus, Methylene Blue etcg is wrong and may lead to suppressionsg
(Refer- Scientic explanaton)

2g BE A SINGLE REMEDY PRESCRIBER: There cannot be TWO similimums of the given state
holistcally at one tme in one organismg Any mult-remedy theory is a blatant violaton of our
Homoeopathic Cardinal Principlesg

3) BE A SINGLE DOSE PRESCRIBER : If generals, mentals, and thermals of the drug coincide with the
patent's changed state, all that is reuuired is ONE DOSE to take care of any acute or serious illnessg

Remember: If ONE DOSE does not initate a curatve process, your remedy is wrongg Throw away
that remedyg Do not try to repeat and get resultsg Homoeopathy is such a gentle- touch art, that
not more than one stmulus is reuuired to produce recovery or cure!

4) HUNT FOR ACTIVITY-THERMAL-THIRST AXIS: Find out the actvity of the afected patentg Find
the right thermals of hot or chilly as shown later in this chapterg

Find out the mental changesg Find out the desires and aversions and the 'RIGHT SIMILIMUM' is
ready to be prescribedg

5) KNOW REMEDY-RELATIONSHIPS ACUTE SIMILIMUM indicated, is most of the tmes related to

the genetc consttutonal similimumg

6) LOOK OUT IF THE MOON IS A 'ROUND': The consttutons which are very sensitve ind
themselves easily afected by Full Moon or New Moong They fall ill, get fevers, pain in the joints,
neuralgias, malaise, urtcaria etcg

These problems generally arise two days before New Moon or Full Moong Just wait and watchg Do
not prescribe to these patents on these daysg Predict to these patents that your cough or your
pains will disappear in the morning at 10 ag m on a Full Moon day or New Moon dayg Just sit back
in comfort and win laurels or a ttle of ASTROLOGER-DOCTOR and enjoy! In this way, you increase
your reputaton as a 'knowledgeable' physician!

7) EXPECT fevers, diarrhoeas or aggravatons on the irst day and amelioraton on the second dayg
Fever on the irst day is a good signg Loose motons on the irst day is a good signg AGGRAVATION of
already existng fever or cough is a good signg Remember feeling beter on the irst day but worse
on the next day is a sign of wrong medicine unless there is a moon phase around in which case
wait! But, all these should be accompanied by the beterment of generals or what I call as
'Homoeopathic Parameters'g

8) KNOW HOMOEOPATHIC PARAMETERS :

Homoeopathic parameters are exactly opposite of allopathic parametersg Since we treat the MAN
in disease the parameters of improvement are the generals egggg
a) Desire to workg
b) Stamina to workg
c) Desire to eat and drinkg
d) Sleepg
e) Excretons igeg: stool, urine and perspiratong

Know these parameters well and look out for their improvement in a patent rather than looking
out for improvement in temperature, cough, headache, throat pain, nose-block etcg Slightest
improvement in desire to work, stamina, appette can be the most dependable signs of patent
proceeding towards cure or recovery than even pathological reports of Hb increasing or Wg Bg C
count coming to normal or Serum Bilirubin coming down in jaundice or X-rays showing
improvement!

ADVICE TO PATIENTS

DO'S AND DON'TS

DO'S

a) Allow your patent to eat or drink anything including things which aggravate him eggg cold drinks,
ice-creams, sour, fruits like bananas etcg We are trying to immunize the patent against the allergic
factorsg What beter test can one conduct?
b) Allow your patent wholesome food, as a normal diet helps to increase the energy within him to
ight the illness and recover without weaknessg
c) Allow your patent to work or do his normal dutes, if he has interest and desire to do sog
DONT'S

a) Do not allow anything which is in anyway an anaesthesia to tssues or cellsg Menthol or mint
containing things like polo, colos, icy cool, vicks tablets may anaesthetse the laryngeal cells which
may benumb their ightng propertes igeg stop the natural cough-refex or sneezing refex thus
work against the homoeopathic acton of increasing the immunity to cureg Spiritous drinks may
also hamper cure in the same wayg

b) Local applicaton, not only of menthol, xylocaine etc, but also any medicated ointment including
homoeopathic Calendula, Arnica, Graphites ointment should not be applied on the sking These and
other skin ointments may alter the Electro potental-Gradient at the cellular and tssue level of the
skin, thereby obstructng our third excretory system igeg skin (irst two being stool and urine) from
excretng toxins on to the sking These local applicatons also including eyedrops, eardrops, chemical
tatoos, hair conditoners, mehendi, ant - dandruf shampoos, medicated soaps etcg should not be
allowed for best resultsg [only excepton may be menthol in the toothpaste since every person is
habituated to these toothpastes for years together and the homeostasis establishes itself since
childhood with these pastes]g

ADVICE TO DOCTORS

Have patence- don't repeatg

Homoeopathic medicine does not fail to work within 24 hrs giving either aggravaton or
amelioraton when indicatedg Let the body cureg Don't force a cure, just stmulate the body to cureg
Herring's law is a compulsory knowledge which every Homoeopath has to haveg

During the course of recovery, expect symptoms in lesser important spheres and do not interfereg
Cure is in progressg Just watch itg eggg

1) If cough disappears, expect sneezing and coryza or itching in the eyes - don't treatg

2) When sneezing or coryza disappear, expect itching or small eruptons on the skin which proceed
from above downwards; from trunk and chest to upper and lower extremitesg

3) When pain in the neck of cervical spondylits disappears, expect pain in the lumbo-sacral region
and then down to the knees - legs - ankle - foot and then toesg This may be followed by coryza or
diarrhoea igeg the toxins have come down from the mesoderm to the endodermg Further, the same
patent has to develop mild skin eruptons when the toxins come down to the ecto-dermal levelg

WARNING:

Any skin eruptons should be mild and non-septcg A gross long standing septc or a destructve skin
lesion is not what you should expect in exteriorizaton of the diseaseg It is not CUREg

Expect diseases to come down from syphilitc to sycotc to psoric types eggg in skin lesions deep
cracks and destructve ulcers should disappear irst followed by disappearance of corns, callosites
or warts followed lastly by acne and boilsg (For further details refer Chart of 7 layers of
Suppression)g

A good knowledge of Chart of 7 layers of Suppression is essental to understand 'Cure' taking place
in the body in embryological order of descendanceg

Finally, if no result is obtained, take the generals again and reconsider the caseg Perhaps, some
'causatve factors like grief, shock, morticaton, suppressed anger may lead you to a diferent
group of drugsg

The drugs in the chart have been compiled from my experience of the last 25 yearsg They may yield
a result of 70-80%g

There may be drugs indicated out of the chartg A short chapter on 'HINTS' atached in this book
may help one to bridge the shortcomings in the fow chartg
