WHAT
IS YOUR APPROACH TO PRESCRIPTIONS?
(Constitutional,
Causations, Pathology, Key notes, Mental
only, Physicals only, Repertory, Miasmatic, Nosodes, Bowel nosodes, Biochemic
remedies, Bach flower remedies, etc.) “My favorite approach to prescribing is ‘Keynotes’, which includes causation, pathology and a few mentals. In a few cases, my prescriptions are based on the constitution and miasm where the mentals play a great role. Apart from these, from time to time, I may give nosodes or bowel nosodes. This is the best approach for me as it has given the maximum results. ” -
Dr. Neeraj O. Goel, Professor
and Head of Materia Medica Dept., CMP Homoeopathic Medical College, Bombay,
India “Approach to cases depends on the type of case. I have no set rule or fixity. Practically, the constitutional/causation and keynotes/pathological approach works for most cases depending on their presentation.” -
Dr. S. K. Goel, Principal of
CMP Homoeopathic Medical College, Bombay; formerly A.M.O. Govt. Homoeopathic
Hospital, Bombay and Deputy Director- Homoeopathy, Govt. of Maharashtra “Every case demands a different method (of approach).” -

produce the result.” -Dr.
Jawahar J. Shah, Developer
of the homoeopathic software ‘Hompath’; Member- Central Council of
Homoeopathy, Govt. of India; Internationally renowned teacher “Except
Bach flower and Biochemic, all other aspects are considered. The totality of
symptoms under different aspects is considered to make a prescription. The
various aspects that construct a total picture of the disease helps me in
simplifying the process of understanding cases. The remedy is chosen after
tracing the connection and determining where lies the weight in the case but at
the same time it is also important what goes through and through the case, e.g. A 28 years old male,
Mr. RA, consulted me in January 1996 for recurring cold and bronchitis. He
complained that in last 4 years I have been having frequent throat infections,
which starts with sneezing, later bodyache and fever. Inspite of my leaving
cigarettes the problem still continues and has aggravated to such an extent,
that it comes every 3 months. I cannot breathe. I start wheezing. Constant
feeling of tiredness throughout the day. When I asked him to
talk about himself - he said I am into computer software.
My line is sales and communication. I love meeting people and love
meeting friends. I got into it because it is not monotonous and everyday there
is something new. I love traveling. I work 12-14 hrs/day regularly for 7 days.
Now body feels tired and heavy. Never given importance to my body and looking
after it. I like taking up
challenges. If something has to be
done in two weeks I have to do in 4 days. I know people suffer because of me.
Since I never give time to my parents and wife. My
motivation is that I have to come up with ideas. If there is a problem you have
to come up with 10 ideas. If something is not possible through route A then you
have to try 2nd or 3rd route. There is always an opening.
I love fast driving. I eat 6-8 bananas in the morning. Prefer windows
open. I feel the fresh breeze or else I feel suffocated. I have a nightmare,
never to get stuck in a small hole where the ceiling is short where I cannot
stand up to my full height making me bend all the time. I cannot be in such a
place for more than 5 minutes. Before
that I have to “BREAK AWAY, GET OUT”. No dreams. What
was most apparent was the need for very intense, rapid and constantly new or
changing activity. Glimpse of the inner feeling is too much work being
compressed in too little time and need to find an opening. Other features of
case like need for traveling, love for fast traveling, intolerance of closed
space on be explained by his main feeling. His
main feeling is of being cramped into narrow a place or being oppressed. His
reaction is, wanting to break out and this can be achieved only by rapid
activity which leads to exhaustion. This
feeling is seen, as well, in his physical complaint, which is an inability to
breathe. The
remedy chosen was Bacillinum, which is known to affect the lungs and cause
difficulty in breathing. RUBRICS:
