The lady homeopath who uses her laptop to find cures

As I have already mentioned, I have had the pleasure to have been associated with homeopaths for a long time and am aware of how they normally operate. They do have their reference books and they do listen to the ailments of the patients but they hardly maintain any record – to them, the brain is the best place to maintain records.
One such homeopath has become a millionaire by treating patients who come to his doorsteps from far-off places like Abu Dhabi. In fact most of his patients are moneyed people – some own acres of land, others own industries and others flock to him by referring to word of mouth.
I know him from his school days and am amazed at the way he has minted his millions. As a student he was mediocre and, after finishing school, his father had sent him to Kolkata to study Homeopathy. And, neither he, nor his father or his friends could ever have imagined how he struck gold, literally.
He had the Midas touch.

Of course, there are exceptions to any rule. And, this lady homeopath who has impressed me with her style of functioning is an exception. She is a modern day woman who comes to her clinic riding a Scooty. Once in a while she brings along her daughter who studies in KG, to keep her away from mischief on holidays.
This lady homeopath sits in front of her laptop and uses the data stored in it to locate the best possible medicine to take care of all the complaints of the patient.
I had been suffering from several problems, mostly associated with old age and chanced upon one of her promotional leaflets that had arrived inside the local newspaper. My problems were typical and the first session I had with her convinced me that she could cure me. Believe it or not, the session lasted more than an hour and she noted all the information in her case diary. The information she sought covered every possible aspect of one’s life from dreams to fears.
From being a name, I became another number in her books. It is now more than one year that I have been under her treatment. (to be continued …)

Homeopathy plays an important role in spondylosis

There is a general feeling that homeopathy is for the poor because the medicines prescribed usually cost next to nothing when compared to allopathic medicines. Moreover, homeopathic medicines do not have any side effects and there are not many restrictions to be followed. In fact, these are ideal for children who love the sweet taste of the medicines in the form of powder or tiny globules.
My association with homeopathy is a long one.
My father used to practice it after his retirement during his stay with me in my quarter in Nashik. Many of my friends and acquaintances would come to him for medicines and he would study their cases and prescribe the medicines.

As for me, I had to go to a homeopath for a typical problem – it was a sort of spondylosis. Due to this, my left arm would become numb while driving the scooter. I had to keep my left arm dangling from time to time to get the blood circulation back.
When I went to the hospital, the physiotherapist suggested that I wear a neck brace. I did and it did give some relief but it was cumbersome and turning my neck was a problem.
I decided to get the opinion of a homeopath and there were two of them nearby. Both were Malayalee – one of them was an elderly gentleman who had retired from the Air Force and had set up practice in one of the quarters allotted by HAL. The other was a young man employed in HAL – but, due to his effective homeopathy treatments, he was given special permission by HAL to carry out practice in his quarter.
The Air Force man would open his clinic in the mornings and the younger one would open his clinic in the evening. Obviously, they had their own set of clients and there was no clash of interests.
I went to the younger one because evening was more convenient for me and, his medication helped me to come out of the shackle of the neck brace. (to be continued …)
