Quackery in Homeopathy: Stigma of our Society.

There is no doubt in the authenticity and efficacy of Homeopathic Medical Science. Actually It was discovered by an Allopathic Doctor who was fed up with the traditional methods of medicine and surgery and also some horrible methods which were used to give more pain than to cure the patient.

In European countries and In United States of America, the homeopathic education is given under strict discipline and there are certain requirements under which only persons of required qualification and skills can only get admission for the study of Homeopathy, but in Pakistan it is very unfortunate that even a simple matriculate person having no solid knowledge of even the basic science succeeds to get admission in homeopathic colleges of Pakistan.

The educational system of these colleges is also not up to the mark, the management of the institutions never bothers to check even if a student remains absent for many days or even for couple of months and students only study at their homes or just cram before the exam and manage to get through the examinations. It’s true that there are very few colleges who have strict control and discipline and the passing out students of those colleges have adequate knowledge and they become a cause of the service to humanity.

But sadly most of the students of other colleges only get license from government and start their clinics in the nook and corners of cities and villages and treat the patients by hit and trial method.

According to homeopathic medical Science every person has his own specific symptoms of disease and the single remedy matching to the symptoms of that disease can only cure the disease and for which doctor has to work hard to collect individual symptoms of the patient regarding conditions of aggravation, alleviation of disease, symptoms of hunger, thirst, perspiration, smell, bowel system, skin color and even mental condition of that specific patient. But in our society mushroom homeopathic pharmacies have sprung up which are preparing combination medicines containing 6 to 7 medicines in a bottle and that medicine is used randomly to all patients. Sometimes that type of medicine succeeds to give palliation to patient but in most of the cases patient is not cured and his or her case even gets worse.

Medicines regarding treating impotency, infertility, obesity, dwarfishness etc. are being sold in market which have nothing to do with the original principles of classic homeopathy founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It is advisable for the patients to only contact the qualified and experienced homeopathic physicians who can take your case and administer you medicines under the right rules of homeopathy.
