| Myth | Truth |
| It is slow to act. | Not really. Homoeopathy is fast acting in acute
conditions such as infections, fever, diarrhoea, etc. The chronic
and old disease such as psoriasis take a long time to treat hence
homoeopathy has been labeled as slow acting. One may say that
homoeopathy may be slower than the effect of pain-killers,
antiinflammatory medicines and steroids. One must know that
homoeopathy is faster in the treatment of conditions such as
allergy, asthma, eczema, migraine, arthritis.
Homoeopathy is like a tortoise in the well-known story of
tortoise and rabbit.

| Homoeopathy is useful only for the chronic conditions and
and has no role for acute ailments. | Homoeopathy is a great alternative medicine for acute
diseases. In fact, almost 50% of our practice ( at the Sanjivak
Center) consists of acute ailments varying form cough-cold-fever
to otitis media, pneumonia, tonsillitis, hepatitis, sinusitis,
etc.
Homoeopathy is a real alternative medicine.
|
| When it comes to handling infections, nothing can beat
antibiotics. | This misbelief is an example of mass ignorance in the hi-
tech era that we are living in. Over an again, thousands of
practitioners world over, have repeatedly and regularly observed
that infections of all kind including the bacterial infections,
respond beautifully to homoeopathy and no antibiotics are
required for most of such conditions. It is in rare case when the
infection is very massive and the body has lost the vitality to
recover, probably antibiotics are required in addition to
homoeopathy.
One, day homoeopathy will be recognised as a latest
generation antibiotic measure.

| Homoeopathy is more placebo effect and faith healing... |
Scientific double blind studies have indicated that
homoeopathy far above the placebo effect. The effect of
homoeopathy medicine has been observed millions of time, which
cannot be labeled as placebo effect. New born babies, infants,
animals such as lions, dogs, etc. have shown healing effects of
homoeopathy, which goes against the placebo effect. Saying that
homoeopathy is placebo, in the light of above facts, is not just
a misbelief but a prejudice.
Frankly, this is an insult. However, over the period, we have
realised that those who continue assuming that homoeopathy is
mere placebo, are superstitious.
|
| Homoeopathy can only help functional problems such as
pain, weakness, where there are no structural changes in the
body.
| Homoeopathy has proved its efficacy for the treatment of
structural pathology. Numerous documented cases where the
reversal of the structural pathology has taken place indicating
the depth of homoeopathy action.
The skeptics should keep the eyes open to evaluate the documented
cases.
|
| Homoeopathy is practiced by some quacks and those who
have no scientific back-ground...
|
Well, homoeopathy in most parts of the world is practiced
by the qualified allopaths, the practitioners of the modern
medicine. The founder of homoeopathy, Dr.Samuel Hahnemann, MD was
a German scientist. And most of the masters and the pioneers in
the past were enlightened allopaths.
Those who think we are quacks, we just smile... |
| Homoeopathy is a miracle medicine and it cures every disease under the sun. | Homoeopathy is no panacea. It has its own set of limitations. We do fail in many cases, and keep learning to heal the suffering humanity.
Homoeopathy is not an ultimate medicine, for nothing is ultimate on this universe.
