The best way to come out of this prejudice is to undergo treatment from some qualified honest and efficient homoeopathic doctor. To identify such a doctor you need an unprejudiced mind. So first let us understand theoretically that it is a myth and our prejudice that homoeopathy is slow.
1. WITHOUT A PROPER COMPARISON IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO LABEL ANYTHING AS TALL SHORT BIG SMALL SLOW OR FAST. When we say that homoeopathy is slow obviously we are comparing with allopathic system of medicine. COMPARISON SHOULD BE ALWAYS IN TOTALITY. Comparison in parts, according to our own convenience, especially where there is a question of HEALTH is unscientific illogical and unethical. For e.g. if we are comparing results of homoeopathic treatment in ASTHMA with allopathic treatment then in allopathy it is not possible to give permanent cure to patient and in homoeopathy it is possible, so there is no comparison. Rather there is a strong possibility that due to suppression of cold and cough with anti-histaminic and steroids the disease is going to get multiplied. We cannot compare actions of these drugs with homoeopathic medicines as THE FINAL OBJECTIVE OF BOTH THESE MODE OF TREATMENTS IS NOT ONLY DIFFERENT BUT OPPOSITE. Every weapon has its own advantage and limitation. Wars like MAHABHARTA cannot be won by one single weapon. Trying and expecting to cure all the different type of diseases under different stages with one system of medicine is impractical unwise inhumane and prejudiced act. Similarly there are circumstances where homoeopathy should not be the option for treatment. One such example is status asthmaticus (severe attack of asthma where bronchodilators doesn’t work), acute myocardial infarct (heart attack), malaria falciparum, lung abscess etc... Only a CONSCIENTIOUS DOCTOR will guide the patient to right treatment, depending upon the scope of the system of medicine which he is practicing.
2. THE DURATION OF TREATMENT (especially in homoeopathic treatment when permanent cure is the objective) DEPENDS UPON OBJECTIVE FACTORS:
A) DURATION OF ILLNESS
B) AMOUNT OF SUPPRESSIVE TREATMENT TAKEN PRIOR TO HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT
C) TYPE OF SUPPRESSIVE DRUGS THAT HAS BEEN CONSUMED PRIOR TO HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT
D) STAGE OF DISEASE E) COMPLICATIONS OF DISEASE IF ANY
SUBJECTIVE FACTORS:
A) EFFICIENCY OF DOCTOR
B) SINCERITY AND COOPERATION OF PATIENT
C) DOCTOR PATIENT RELATIONSHIP
D) TIME AND ENERGY WHICH THE PATIENT CAN AFFORD TO CONTRIBUTE FOR CURING HIS ILLNESS.
Though it is uncommon but fortunately when we as homoeopathic doctors get such a patient whose illness is of very short duration and has not been treated by any other system of medicine then it is easy to demonstrate a quick response from homoeopathic medicines.

PATIENT’S FEEDBACK IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CRITERIA TO DRAW RIGHT CONCLUSIONS
THIS IS A MISCONCEPTION.
THE TRUTH IS, AS A RULE PATIENT UNDERGOES HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT ONLY AFTER SUPPRESSING IT WITH ALLOPATHIC MEDICINES FOR YEARS TOGETHER. FEW OVER ENTHUSIASTIC PATIENTS OR HOMOEOPATHIC DOCTORS STOP ALL ALLOPATHIC MEDICINES SUDDENLY, OBVIOUSLY WHICH WOULD LEAD TO SURFACING OF THE SUPPRESSED ILLNESS. THIS IS WRONGLY PERCEIVED AS INITIAL AGGRAVATION DUE TO HOMOEOPATHIC TRATMENT. IN CASE OF CHRONIC ILLNESS PATIENT NEEDS TO HAVE FAITH IN THE DOCTOR WHO IS CURING HIM
NAME OF THE DISEASE
is not the first criterion to know and understand whether a particular disease is curable or not in homoeopathy.
The first criterion is to know and find out whether the STAGE at which the patient has been brought for homoeopathic treatment is curable or not. There are many diseases which are labeled incurable by allopathic system of medicine or need surgical intervention but homoeopathy can cure it. That’s why the final judgment of deciding whether the patient’s illness is in curable stage or not should be made by qualified homoeopathic doctor who is expected to be honest while giving his final verdict.
The second criterion is to know about the type of patient who is suffering from that disease.
Sincere cooperative patients make impossible things possible and insincere patients who come with fear distrust and antagonism make simple cases also very difficult to cure.
FORTUNATELY WE HAVE MEDICINES FOR MOST OF THE ILLNESSES IN HOMOEOPATHY but practically speaking few ailments like Lung tuberculosis, typhoid etc. are best left to be treated by allopathic system of medicines.
YES, it is definitely effective in treating acute illnesses. For patient’s reassurance we have tried to present patients’ feedbacks that have undergone homoeopathic treatment and have found quick results. Refer under section PATIENT’S FEEDBACK – “Homoeopathy acts fast”
