LANGUAGE:YOUR POWER:POINT TO PONDER. - by Dr.Fatema Palgharwala.@ #HappyHomoeopathy Clinic
I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did my dad understand that specific words affect our mental pictures, but he understood words are a powerful programming factor in lifelong success.One particularly interesting event occurred when I was eight. As a kid, I was always climbing trees, poles, and literally hanging around upside down from the rafters of our lake house. So, it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old brain didn't realize the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was fun to be up so high.My older cousin, Tammy,was also in the same tree. She was hanging on the first big limb, about ten feet below me. Tammy's mother also noticed us at the exact time my dad did. About that time a huge gust of wind came over the tree. I could hear the leaves start to rattle and the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad's voice over the wind yell, "Bart, Hold on tightly." So I did. The next thing I know, I heard Tammy screaming at the top of her lungs, laying flat on the ground. She had fallen out of the tree.I scampered down the tree to safety. My dad later told me why she fell and I did not. Apparently, when Tammy's mother felt the gust of wind, she yelled out, "Tammy, don't fall!" And Tammy did fall. My dad then explained to me that the mind has a very difficult time processing a negative image.In fact, people who rely on internal pictures cannot see a negative at all. In order for Tammy to process the command of not falling, her nine-year-old brain had to first imagine falling, then try to tell the brain not to do what it just imagined. Whereas, my eight-year-old brain instantly had an internal image of me hanging on tightly.This concept is especially useful when you are attempting to break a habit or set a goal. You can't visualize not doing something.The only way to properly visualize not doing something is to actually find a word for what you want to do and visualize that.For example, when I was thirteen years old, I played for my junior high school football team. I tried so hard to be good, but I just couldn't get it together at that age. I remember hearing the words run through my head as I was running out for a pass, "Don't drop it!" Naturally, I dropped the ball. My coaches were not skilled enough to teach us proper "self-talk." They just thought some kids could catch and others couldn't. I'll never make it pro, but I'm now a pretty good Sunday afternoon football player, because all my internal dialogue is positive and encourages me to win.I wish my dad had coached me playing football instead of just climbing trees. I might have had a longer football career. If our parents can set a lifetime of programming with one wrong statement, imagine the kind of programming you are doing on a daily basis with your own internal dialogue.Here is a list of Toxic Vocabulary words. Notice when you or other people use them. Ø But: Negates any words that are stated before it. Ø Try: Presupposes failure. Ø If: Presupposes that you may not. Ø Might: It does nothing definite. It leaves options for your listener.. Ø Would Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen. Ø Should Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen implies guilt Ø Could Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn't actually happen but the person tries to take credit as if it did happen.Ø Can't/Don't: These words force the listener to focus on exactly the opposite of what you want. This is a classic mistake that parents and coaches make without knowing the damage of this linguistic error.Example-1:Toxic phrase: "Don't drop the ball!"Likely result: Drops the ballBetter language: "Catch the ball!"* *Example-2:Toxic phrase: "You shouldn't watch so much television."Likely result: Watches more television.Better language: "I read too much television makes people stupid.EXCERPTS FROM WHAT I READ ! extracting

CONCLUSION: INFORMED CONSENT
Conclusion:
In the
end it can be said that informed consent is at heart shared decision making—a recommended
approach to medical treatment decision in which patients actively participate
with their doctors.
The Patients must have adequate information if they are to play a
significant role in making decisions that reflect their own values and preferences,
in cases like HALAL vs. NON-HALAL medicine and side effects of medicines or
treatment outcomes consequences of
denying treatment and lastly areas like trust the doctor or trust self-study.
The physicians play a key
role as educators in this process.[1]
To avoid legal action, according to the doctrine of informed consent,
physicians must disclose enough information for the patient to make an
“informed” decision. However, because informed consent laws and principles do
not specify the amount of information that must be disclosed like the process
of treatments, time consumption, life expectancy, perfect treatment outcomes in
theory and practice etc., physicians might find it useful to know what they
must typically disclose.[2]
In India also the situation has been made clear by the apex
courts. The courts in all their decisions have held that the patient has the
right to know all about their treatments and procedures. The doctor should
disclose everything before going for any surgery or treatment. Whenever the
doctor failed to disclose such information to the patient, they are found to be
at fault.
In UK as we studied found that the core
of everything lies with the NHS; which is completely responsible for complete
care of the patient irrespective of any condition. The informed consent and all
rules and regulations pertaining to the same.
The CAM treatments hold their own
shortcomings and ethics following the Hahnemannain and Hippocratic Oath; they
do their best in complete disclosure to the patient and help them achieve cure.
Thus pin pointing here in conclusion that CAM treatments are purely in
unification of doctor-patient relationship both are equally involved; opposite
in case of a typical surgery where the patient is under anesthesia and cannot
do anything.in CAM its always collective efforts thus informed consent is of
utmost importance at every step of treatment.

MEDICINE AND RELIGION AND INFORMED CONSENT
MEDICINE AND RELIGION AND INFORMED CONSENT
In India
medicine and religion go hand in hand doctors are next to God since they save lives,
with the advent of variety of information available over the internet many patients
are now aware about the content of the medicines they consume.
Example many
Ayurvedic medicines would contain NUTMEG, or homoeopathic medicine prepared
from cuttle fish, numerous examples can be enumerated,
Allopathic
medicine contain alcohol in preservative contents. These are very important
questions for a physician now a day.
Religion emphasis
on HALAL products
Now while a
prescription is made it will be necessary for the physician to state whether
this will be halal or not halal,
Again going by
the route of Medical negligence, in Malay Kumar Ganguly vs. Sukumar Mukherjee
2009 the Supreme Court cited 3 American cases Canterbury vs. Spence 1972;
Cobbs vs. Grant
1972;
And Hamilton vs.
Hardy 1976
The apex observes,
The Law on medical negligence also has to keep up with the advances in medical
science at treatment and diagnostics. Doctors increasingly must engage with patients
during treatments especially when the line of treatment is a contested one and hazardous.
A significant number of jurisdictions, however, determine the existence the
scope of doctor’s duty to inform based on the information a reasonable patient
would find material in deciding whether or not to undergo the proposed therapy.
As we observe
that same pertains to halal and non halal medicines as balance has to be struck
and it will be fair for a physician to mention specifically the possible developments
after taking the medicine prescribed by him.
Here HALAL or
NON HALAL medicine will Impact the religion of the client which, implies that
he may be sent to HELL after Death OR NOT;
Physical
example cited in Consumer Protection Act 1986 is as follows: A patient being
treated with steroid must be asked to take care against rise of pressure and
sugar level in blood, or when patient suffering with arthritis is treated with
SULPHASALAZINE, he must be informed about chance of drastic fall of platelets
count and the probable consequences thereof .disclosure in cases like these
seems to be a must. Negligence is strictly nonfeasance and not malfeasance. The
patients are by and large are ignorant about the disease and side or adverse
effect of the medicine.
In an English
decision in SIDAWAY vs. BOARD OF
GOVERNORS of Bethlehem hospital and Maudsley Hospital 1985, it was observed as
follows:
“The decision
what degree of disclosure of risks is best calculated to assist a particular
patient to make a rational choice as to whether or not to undergo a particular
treatment must primarily be a matter of clinical judgement.
An issue
whether non-disclosure of a particular risk or cluster of risks in a particular
case should be condemned as a breach of the doctor’s duty of care is an issue
to be decided primarily on the basis of expert medical evidence. In the event
of a conflict of evidence the judge will have to decide whether the responsible
body of medical opinion would have approved of non-disclosure in the case
before him. a judge might in certain circumstances come to the conclusion that
disclosure of the particular risk was so obviously necessary to an informed
choice on the part of the patient that no reasonable prudent medical man would
fail to make it, even in a case when no expert witness in the relevant medical
field condemned the non-disclosure as being in conflict with accepted and
responsible medical practice”,
As I observe
and concur from the above citation is HALAL MEDICINE DISCLOSURE A RISK
Or vice versa
is NON HALAL medicine disclosure a risk, the risk defined here being made
according to the religion that it would cost the client an entry to HELL,
theologically HELL is considered a bad place to be!
Can any expert
medical man give any evidence on this factor, can it be proved that intake of
NON HALAL medicine would cause entry to HELL, can we check this implication?
As a physician
does it include in my syllabi to cover and have a complete understanding of
each religion and cover the food and drug part of Halal and Non Halal foods and
drugs.
In my opinion
here I would follow the halal protocol for my client simply because I follow a
religion which expects me to follow certain rules. As the religious texts show
that there is a presence of Good vs. Evil in every aspect of life and justice
is evident in every field, I will stick to my religion purely because I trust
and believe in it and I follow that “BELIEF COMES BEFORE PRACTICE”

WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE
MEDICINES?
The term Alternative Medicine means any form of medicine that is outside the mainstream of western medicine or conventional medicine as practiced a majority of doctors today. This term is loosely used to over all forms of medicine except allopathy. In 1973, the Medical Faculty of the University of Rome convened the first World Congress of Alternative Medicines and the provisional program contained no less than 135 therapies.
Alternative medicine exists in all cultures to some degree and terms such as traditional medicine, indigenous medicine or folk medicine etc. are used to describe such practices. These medicines date back hundred or even thousands of years depending on the country and culture concerned.
There are more than 100 systems of alternative medicines still in practice all over the world. Every country, region or area has its own traditional system of health and medical cares such as for the Chinese it is acupuncture, for the French, magnetic healing; for the Germans, Heilpraxis; for the English, Herbalism; for India, Ayurveda with Siddha being widely practice in the southern part of the country; for Japan, Shiatsu etc.
The most popular forms of alternative medicine are Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Yoga, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Magneto therapy, Shiatsu, Herbalism, Meditation, Aromatherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, Chromo therapy, Diet therapy, Hydropathy and Reiki.
Alternative Therapies
The following is a guide to some alternative therapies
Acupressure
Similar to acupuncture, but using finger pressure rather than fine needles on specific points along the body to treat ailments such as tension and stress, aches and pains, menstrual cramps, arthritis.
Acupuncture
Fine needles are inserted at specific points to stimulate, disperse, and regulate the flow of vital energy, and restore a healthy energy balance. In addition to pain relief, acupuncture is also used to improve wellbeing and treat acute, chronic, and degenerative conditions in children and adults.
Aromatherapy
Using "essential oils" distilled from plants; aromatherapy treats emotional disorders such as stress and anxiety as well as a wide range of other ailments. Oils are massaged into the skin in diluted form, inhaled, or
placed in baths. Aromatherapy is often used in conjunction with massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology, herbology, chiropractic, and other holistic treatments.
Astrology
Astrology is a humanistic attempt at trying to understand the cycles that we share with the forces in the Universe. The planets have corresponding ruler ship to certain vitamins, minerals, cell salts, herbs, metals, colours and parts of the body. Through the chart, one can look to see what natal health conditions exist. Through these precepts, we can then look at the present and into the future to see what areas of our lives are being affected and potentially how we can head off ill health and promote wellness.
Atlas Orthogonal
Atlas Orthogonal is a chiropractic program to evaluate and correct subluxation based on scientific and biomechanical procedures. By incorporating the latest advancements in scientific technology, chiropractors can calculate, in precise detail, the vectors specific to an individual subluxation pattern, and program their instrument with the specific correction vectors to deliver the adjustment without any manipulation at all.
Ayurvedic Medicine
Practiced in India for more than 5,000 years; ayurvedic tradition holds that illness is a state of imbalance among the body's systems that can be detected through such diagnostic procedures as reading the pulse and observing the tongue. Nutrition counselling, massage, natural medications, meditation, and other modalities are used to address a broad spectrum of ailments.
Auricular Therapy
Ancient Egyptian writings state that pain can be relieved by stimulating certain points on the ear. In the 1800's, several publications indicated that there were several techniques of cauterization and manipulation of the ears to aid certain disorders. Many benefits can be achieved by massaging and palpating specific points on the ear.
Alexander Technique
the Alexander Technique is a method that works to change (movement) habits in our everyday activities. It is a simple and practical method for improving ease and freedom of movement, balance, support and coordination. The technique teaches the use of the appropriate amount of effort for a particular activity, giving you more energy for all your activities. It is not a series of treatments or exercises, but rather a re-education of the mind and body.
Autogenic Training
It is a century-old European method for achieving relaxation based upon passive concentration and body awareness of specific sensations. Its effectiveness has been shown in relieving many stress-related disorders including anxiety, tension, insomnia, and examination stress. Persons with chronic medical conditions ranging from migraine, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure, to thyroid disease and many other conditions have also been shown to benefit from the practice of autogenic training.
Anthroposophical Medicine
Anthroposophical Medicine involves an internationally organized group of people who think that Rudolf Steiner (an Austrian physician, 1861-1925) found the ultimate truth - the anthroposophy. Steiner said: By anthroposophy, I mean a scientific investigation of the spiritual world which will bring to light the weaknesses and half-truths not only of science but also of modern mysticism. It is a method which, before attempting to investigate the spiritual worlds, first develops psychic powers not normally used in daily life or in current scientific research.
Auto-Urine Therapy
This practice comes from Yoga and is the use of one's own urine as food, medicine, restorative, transforming agent and immune system booster. It is sometimes called 'Your Own Doctor'.
Holotropic Breathwork

Holotropic Breathwork
It is a simple yet powerful technique for self-exploration and healing,
based on combined insights from modern consciousness research, depth psychology
and perennial spiritual practices. The method activates non-ordinary states of
consciousness which mobilize the spontaneous healing potential of the psyche.
Sustained effective breathing, evocative music, focussed energy work and
mandala drawing are components of this subjective journey. 'Holotropic'
literally means 'moving towards wholeness'.
Biofeedback
A method of monitoring minute metabolic changes in one's own body with the aid of sensitive machines. The technique is used especially for stress-related conditions such as asthma, migraines, insomnia, and high
blood pressure. Clients learn to make subtle adjustments to move toward a more balanced internal state by consciously visualizing, relaxing, or imagining while observing light, sound, or metered feedback.
Bach Flower Remedies
A system of herbal remedies devised by Edward Bach; these floral remedies can supposedly alter the disharmonies of personality and emotional state that trouble us all from time to time. These remedies are mostly aimed at curing emotional states rather than physical ones.
Cellular Therapy
Cellular therapy also called live cell therapy, cellular suspensions, glandular therapy, fresh cell therapy, siccacell therapy, embryonic cell therapy, and organotherapy -- refers to various procedures in which processed tissue from animal embryos, foetuses or organs, is injected or taken orally. Products are obtained from specific organs or tissues said to correspond with the unhealthy organs or tissues of the recipient. Proponents claim that the recipient's body automatically transports the injected cells to the target organs, where they supposedly strengthen them and regenerate their structure. The organs and glands used in cell treatment include brain, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, thymus, liver, kidney, pancreas, spleen, heart, ovary, testis, and parotid. Several different types of cell or cell extract can be given simultaneously -- some practitioners routinely give up to 20 or more at once.
Chromotherapay or Colour Therapy
The use of colour (usually in the form of coloured light) to produce beneficial or healing effects.
Colon Therapy
The therapeutic goals of colon therapy are to balance body chemistry, eliminate waste, and restore proper tissue and organ function.

Colon Therapy, also known as colonics, is believed to relieve a wide range of symptoms related to colon dysfunction.
Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is a series of intravenous injections of the synthetic amino acid EDTA, designed to detoxify the body. It is also often used to treat arteriosclerosis. Most frequently, this is administered in an osteopathic or medical doctor's office.
Chinese (Oriental) Medicine
Oriental medical practitioners are trained to use a variety of ancient and modern therapeutic methods - including acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, heat therapy, and nutritional and lifestyle counselling - to treat a
broad range of both chronic and acute illnesses.
Chiropractic
The chiropractic views the spine as the backbone of human health: misalignments of the vertebrae caused by poor posture or trauma cause pressure on the spinal nerve roots, leading to diminished function and illness. Through manipulation or adjustment of the spine, treatment seeks to analyse and correct these misalignments.
Colonics
A colonic is colon irrigation, the irrigation of the large intestine with sanitized, filtered water under gentle pressure to wash out or detoxify it of stagnated faecal material; it is a full intestinal enema.

Common conditions homeopathy addresses are infant and childhood diseases, infections, fatigue, allergies, and chronic illnesses such as arthritis.
Hypnotherapy
a means of bypassing the conscious mind and accessing the subconscious, where suppressed memories, repressed emotions, and forgotten events may remain recorded.

In this paper I would
like to show how I , tackle Informed consent in my daily practise and also try
to answer some questions that may arise in this process.
So what information
should we as Homeopaths give to patients to ensure they are able to give their
'informed consent'.
How homeopaths tackle
the tricky issue of informed consent?
Do we set out some of the controversial
aspects of homeopathy, the current lack of understanding of how homeopathy
might work, and so on?
Do we allow patients to
make their own informed decisions on the back of this information, or do we
make that decision for them?
Homoeopathy is a very
complex science based on the laws and thus I as a homoeopath will get furious
in case homeopathy was called PSUEDOSCIENCE,
Not getting into the
bureaucracy of medicine here’s is a SCIENTIFIC UNDERSSTANDING OF EVIDENCE BASED
HOMOEPATHY
Homoeopathy is based on the
natural or Fundamental laws. These laws are in accordance with the established
scientific laws of the universe. The same laws apply and hold good in
homoeopathy, hence it is called the scientific system of medicine. The laws of
nature cannot be changed or cannot change. They remain for ever and so does the
homoeopathic laws.. The fundamental laws of homoeopathy are as follows,
1. Law of Cure:
a. Similia Similibus Curentur.This is the law underlying the cure and its knowledge to the mankind was known since ancient period. It is recorded in the manuscript of ancient hindu religion.It was known by Aristotle and was appplied by Hippocrates in treating some cases.
b. Cure takes place from above downward, from within outward, from the more important to the less important organ, and in the reverse order of the onset of the symptoms.
Cure doesn't simply mean the disappearance of symptoms. Their disappearance must be as per the anove law. Every true cure that has taken place has followed this law of direction and will follow the same in the future.
2. Law of Action:
Action and reaction are equal and opposite.
3. Law of Quantity and Dose:
The quantity of action necessary to effect any change in nature is the least possible; the decisive amount is always a minimum, an infinitesimal.
4. Law of Quantity:
The quantity of drug required is in inverse ration to the similarity.
This means in patients where there is greater similarity between the indicated drug and disease symptoms, then the less quantity of drug is required.
5. Law of Quality:
The quality of the action of a homoeopathic remedy is determined by its quantity, in inverse ratio.
6. Law of Biological development:
Function creates and develops the organ.
7. Law of Disease Development:
Functional symptoms are produced by the vital force in exact proportion to the profundity of the disturbance. The functional symptoms precede structural changes.
8. Law of Use governing the homoeopathic remedy:
The dose and quantity that will thoroughly permeate the organism and make its essential impress upon the vital force is that which will affect the functional sphere of the individual.
9. Law of Repetition(for Proving):
Never repeat the dose while symptoms are manifest from the dose already taken.
The above law guides the physician while proving the drugs in healthy human beings to discover the symptomatology of the drug. The symptoms are developed in natural cycles during proving.
10. Law of Repetition(for Cure):
Never repeat your remedy so long as it continues to act.
11. Laws of Proving:
These laws deal with various types of substances for proving. These laws are in accordance with the above laws of action, law of quantity and dose, law of quantity and law of quality.
i. Any drug which in its natural state affects the vital energy but little will develop a proving only in a high potency.
ii. Any drug which in its natural state disturbs the vital energy to functional manifestations only may be proven in a crude form.
iii. Any drug which in its natural state disturbs the vital energy to destructive manifestations should be proven only in a potentiated form.
a. Similia Similibus Curentur.This is the law underlying the cure and its knowledge to the mankind was known since ancient period. It is recorded in the manuscript of ancient hindu religion.It was known by Aristotle and was appplied by Hippocrates in treating some cases.

Homoeopathy
has a rich Historical value also where Dr.Hahnemann who was actually an
allopathic physician has worked tirelessly for years and proved every drug.
Eventually formed the science of cure
that is known as Homoeopathy.
Every new Homeopathy patients who enters my clinic fit into one of two categories.
1.)Some arrive at an early stage of their
illness because they have already decided that they do not want to go through
the Modern medicine route of drug-based treatment.
2.) second have gone through the modern
medicine route, some for many years, and found that their health has not
improved, or has gradually declined.
In both the scenarios I don’t not take for
granted that the patient knows enough about their illness, and its treatment by
Homeopathy, to ensure that they can make an 'informed choice' about it. I sit
with them spending enough time and explaining various aspects I always start
with the question; HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW REGARDING HOMOEPATHY? Maximum times its
to my relief I have found that potential patients have already done
considerable research into Homeopathy, and/or have heard about it from former
patients who have been treated successfully. But nevertheless the question
remains important. What patients say in response to it will determine what the
Homeopath needs to say to enable them to make an 'informed choice' about
proceeding with Homeopathy. Like for example after the news of MMR vaccines
causing autism in children, many parents met me with the queries of making
HOMOEOPATHIC PROPHYAXIS an option for the new born, with the onset of such
queries it became important for me to understand the rules laid down for
newborns, diseases like TUBERCULOSIS
POLIO
MUMPS
MEASELS
SMALLPOX
Are very dangerous and I hold a very important
responsibility of giving prophylaxis to my young patients.
Here the Consent was very important for my
safety because though homoeopathy only deals with PROVED DRUGS which are then
USED AS MEDICINES, it can be difficult and tricky.
Before giving any prophylaxis to my patients it
was made sure that a complete understanding was given to the parents.
A 5years prophylaxis course was designed for
the children from birth to 5years of age, and a safe method was proposed and
very stringent protocol is observed.

How can
we stimulate immunity without killing the person?
How can
we mimic natural responses diseases to disease with artificial means?
HP works to stimulate your child’s immune system
in a natural and gentle way so as to stimulate immunity to specific diseases
without damaging the immune system. HP is the introduction to disease agents in
the attenuated form of a homeopathic dilution. No disease is present, no toxic
adjuvants included. Some immune system response such as mild temporary fever or
discharge is the expected outcome, of stimulating the immune system in this
way. The result is a healthy immune system, with learned immunity to a variety
of infectious agents without side effects.

My patients should know how does homeopathy work?
Usually I have
experienced it is not important! Indeed, it is probably not important for
patients who seek help from any medical discipline. Patients know that they are
ill, and that they want to get better. And it is not my experience that
patients want to sit through a long, philosophical lecture on the working
mechanism of any particular medical therapy!
So I usually
keep the explanation (or answer) to this question quite brief, mentioning the
homeopathic principle of 'treating like with like', and briefly describing
'remedy pictures', and 'symptoms of illness', and the importance in Homeopathy
of matching the two together. If patients want to ask further questions about
this (and most don't) I will try to provide them with answers, based on my
understanding.
However, one
important point should be made in response to this question. This concerns the
nature of the healing process, and how this will be driven by the body, and not
by the homeopathic remedy. All the remedy does is to seek to assist the body to
do so - it will not do so in its own right. Remedies are not 'wonder cures',
all they do is to 'nudge' the body towards its self-healing task.
In addition,
every patient should be told that Homeopathy works best when it is used as part
of a 'holistic' strategy, which stresses the importance of good diet, exercise,
and other life-style factors.
Another Important question put forward by patients. Is homeopathy an effective treatment for their condition or illness? And how safe is it?
Safety.
I usually begin with
the latter - safety. I tell them that homeopathy is safe, and will not cause
'side-effects', 'adverse reactions', or indeed, cause disease or death. To
support this, I will give a brief description of how remedies are made - by
serial dilution and succussion. I will then affirm that if, together, we arrive
at the wrong remedy it will do absolutely no good whatsoever - but likewise it
will do no harm!
Thus showing my patients
that homoeopathy is completely safe and never cause a side effect in medical
dosage.

Citing the case of a homeopathy
overdose
Juggankhan v State of Madhya Pradesh (1965)1 SCR
14]
Date of Decision: 10.08.1964
The appellant, a registered Homoeopathic medical practitioner under the Madhya Pradesh Homoeopathic and Bio-chemic Practitioners Act, 1951, issued a pamphlet advertising that he inter alia treated Naru (guinea worm). Believing this, Smt. Deobi, aged about 20 year visited the appellant's clinic. along with some member: of her family, for treatment. The appellant administered 24 drop. of mother tincture stramonium and a leaf of dhatura. However, soon after taking the medicine, Deobi felt restless and ill and despite administration of antidotes, she died the same evening. In the trial for murder under section 302 of the IPC, the appellant was convicted. When the matter reached the Apex Court, the Court considered whether. in view of the nature of the appellant' offence he was rightly convicted under s 302 of the IPC. The Court agreed with the lower Courts that Deobi' death resulted from poisoning. However. after considering the material, the Court found it could not be established that the administered dose was fatal or that the appellant had administered stramonium drops and dhatura leaf with the knowledge that it was likely to cause death. But the court observed that stramonium and dhatura leaf were poisonous and in Homoeopathy dhatura leaf was never administered as such. In fact. in no system of medicine, except perhaps Ayurvedic, was: dhatura leaf given as a cure for guinea worms and that the appellant prescribed the medicine without thoroughly studying the effect of giving 24 drops of stramonium and a leaf of dhatura. The court held that it was a rash and negligent act to prescribe poisonous medicines without studying their probable effect. The Court also held that though it was true,as ruled in , John Oni v King [AIR (1943) 30 PC 72], that care should be taken before imputing criminal negligence to a professional man acting in the course of his profession, even then it was clear that the appellant was guilty of a rash and negligent act and hence liable for conviction under s. 304A, IPC.

Effectiveness of my Homoeopathy treatment and
medicines
It is then
quite easy to move on to discuss effectiveness. I have always felt it important
to tell patients that in order to be effective, a correct or 'similar' remedy
has to be found. If such a remedy is found there will be some measure of
improvement in the condition or illness. If it is not there will be no
improvement. At this stage I always feel that it is important to manage
expectations. There are no guarantees. This is especially important, perhaps,
when a patient has arrived after homeopathy has cured or successfully treated a
friend or relative (the source of most new referrals). My hair loss patients
always come looking for more hair on their head and always refer automatically
and yet as a physician I cannot claim that every bald head will get hair,
reasons will be based on age, body dynamics, diagnosis. Etc.
A classic
case of Hydrocephalus which I came across in March 2013 was a rare occurrence
and this one case which fetched me the whole village as my client.
Homoeopathy
case-taking is a very exhaustive process and often makes patients nervous and
tired, yet it’s the most important part of treatment with us, I make my
patient aware about homeopathy,
that the treatment process needs to be a partnership, and that it is not an
'expert-client' relationship. Although
the Homeopath may have all the training and knowledge needed to determine a
remedy that is 'similar', he/she can only arrive at this if the patient is able
to openly, honestly and with insight, explain and describe their
symptoms.
Understanding
the concept of sign and symptoms is very VITAL in Homoeopathy practice
Definition of Sign
1: one of a set of gestures used to represent
language
2: an objective evidence of disease especially as
observed and interpreted by the physician rather than by the patient or lay
observer <narrow
retinal vessels are a signoff
arteriosclerosis>—see brudzinski
sign, chvostek's
sign,homans' sign, kernig sign, physical
sign, placental
sign,romberg's
sign, tinel's
sign, vital
signs, von
graefe's sign;
Definition of
symptom
: subjective evidence of disease or
physical disturbance observed by the patient <headache is a symptom of many diseases> <visual disturbances
may be a symptom
of retinal arteriosclerosis>; broadly : something that indicates the presence
of a physical disorder
This means that the patient
is a vital part of the process. Even the most skilled and experienced Homeopath
has to depend on the patient for the treatment to be effective.
Normally I will also tell
patients that I am likely to ask some strange, and sometime intimate questions,
and that these questions will often appear to have little relationship to the
illness or disease being treated (at least, not in conventional terms).
In my experience,
Homeopathy works best when it is conducted within a professional relationship
that is open, honest and transparent. And I know of no reason why the
homeopath-patient relationship should be based on anything else!
Homoeopathy prescription:
After the above methods and arrangement for the same is made the patient
is now aware about the methods to be used, I follow the method of APPOINTMNET
AND MEETING THE CLIENT on the given time, this makes it easy for me and client
to understand and work together,
The diagnostic reports,
surgical reports and earlier prescriptions have to be submitted for scrutiny
before the consultation, a fee structure is explained and payment options
given.
Complete case taking is performed and followed
by required diagnostic tests are prescribed,
A complete
physical examination is then commenced and all notes taken.
Homoeopaths like
me have become modern and we prefer video case taking instead of sitting and
writing out every point, and this is a very IMPORTANT AREA for INFORMED CONSENT
IN HOMOEPATHY PRACTISE,
The Patient is
made completely aware that I am making a VIDEO RECORDING, during the consultation,
patients generally consent for this method and ask questions about privacy and
it is made sure that it is followed.
The video
recording of surgical processes is also made by many hospitals and surgeons
which is made it important for Doctor-Patient safety.
Thus a complete
holistic approach is achieved here,
After completion
of case taking and examinations and diagnostics, a Homoeopathic Prescription is
made, which states the
HOMOEPATHIC
PRESCRIPTION:
DATE.
NAMES.
REMEDY NAMES.
DOSAGE .
TIME OF DOSAGE.
PERIOD OF DOSAGE.
FOLLOW UP CRITERIA.
DIET REGIMEN.
DIET RESTRICTIONS.
EXERCISE REGIMEN.
EXERCISE
RESTRICTIONS.
The general
understanding in India is that Homoeopaths make their own medicine and supply
to the patient, yet this is a MYTH and not always correct,
A proper
prescription and the client will decide where the homoeopathy medicines can be
bought from.
A proper address
of the pharmacy is always supplied for ease to the patient. And a proper
invoice for medicine bought is supplied.
Thus in practice
it is observed that every aspect of healthcare and CONSENT TAKING proper
communication is achieved.
In my observation
homoeopathy is no different than any other pathies and the ETHICS will never
change and rather should never change.
Looking at the
opposite factor which is also possible and is an invitation for trouble
For CAM practitioners
is
The alternative
medicine world is faced by a theory which says that these pseudoscience’s are
NOT EVIDENCE BASED SCIENCES there is not enough research and evidence that a
particular organic substance will cause cure, while Homoeopathy and Ayurveda
have little acceptance in the Modern Medicine in India the case is complete No
in US UK OR Canada where these science hold No status, reason being that the
science according to them is NOT EVIDENCE BASED,
The area of
Informed Consent is jeopardized by CAM because,
The intrusion into “conventional”
medicine of implausible and unproven treatments by supporters of CAM, and those
who will benefit from their support, does not alter the ethical and legal
obligations of physicians to be truthful with their patients. Medical ethics
demand that such treatments not be offered. If they are recommended, ethically the
physician has, at the very least, a duty to disclose implausibility and lack of
evidence of effectiveness. Legally, physicians offer such treatments at the
risk of being sued for battery based on the claim that patient consent is
nullified by misrepresentation if implausibility and lack of effectiveness are
not disclosed. Alternatively, if the CAM treatment results in harm, physicians
risk suit under a negligence theory. It should be easy enough to prove by
expert testimony, under the physician standard of disclosure that implausible
and ineffective treatments would not be offered by a reasonably prudent
physician. Under the patient standard, a jury would be hard pressed to conclude
that a reasonable patient would find it immaterial to that the proffered
treatment lacked scientific plausibility and evidence of effectiveness.
Ethical Duty of Informed Consent and CAM
I understand that certain
treatments should not be offered to patients, even if the physician believes
they are unlikely to result in harm to the patient. Which would include any
treatment which:
a. is implausible on a
priori grounds (because its implied mechanisms or putative effects contradict
well-established laws, principles, or empirical findings in physics, chemistry
or biology),
b. lacks a scientifically
acceptable rationale of its own,
c. has insufficient
supporting evidence derived from adequately controlled outcome research, or
d. has failed in
well-controlled studies done by impartial evaluators and has been unable to
rule out competing explanations for why it might seem to work in uncontrolled
settings.
Such treatments are called “quackery” and beyond doubt it is unequivocal
that “doctors should not truck with quackery” and that “physicians should not
offer or accede to patient demands for unproven treatments.”
For example When a patient
enters a homoeopathy clinic and presents a case of Classical Gall-Stones
requiring surgery and intervention, it is my duty as a clinician to explain the
same to my patient and not simply take the case and handle is medically and
give homoeopathic drugs and wait for the gall-stones to melt, which is seldom possible,
although in my theory books it is possible, there has to be a discretion in me
that includes modern medicine and its helpful areas. The same is expected from
the modern medicine practitioners; while we physicians understand this point or
view it is very important for the law also to understand this, when a modern
medicine practitioner would refer a case to a CAM practitioner and vice versa
the patients consent is considered to be understood as trust, it will be
difficult if patients were allowed to sue us on meager basis.
Patients have a range of
expectations of their physicians, with different patients looking for different
things, which may include hope, compassion and comfort. However, patients
universally seek effective and safe treatment; they want to be cured.
Consequently, the legal and ethical systems that establish the parameters
within which physicians practice must demand at the very least that physicians
utilize their skills and knowledge to offer patients treatment which they
reasonably believe will actually treat the condition from which they suffer.
This minimum requirement precludes physicians form offering as medicine
something that is not – even if it will, in a psychological or emotional sense,
make the patient ‘feel better.’ To do otherwise misleads the patient about what
ultimately matters — that she is receiving treatment for her condition. . . .
The very fact that it is a physician who prescribes the therapy will endow the
treatment with a false sense of legitimacy. . . . Patients do not expect physicians
to succumb to fads or illegitimate pressure to provide treatment that has no
reasonable chance of helping the patient. In medicine, that hope is inspired by
scientific proof, whether or not the treatment is conventional or alternative.
If offering CAM to patients
is ethically contraindicated, and the basis of that conclusion is, in part, a
physician’s fiduciary obligation to be truthful with their patients, and the
corresponding desire of patients for treatments that are actually beneficial,
then, a fortiori, a physician offering implausible and unproven CAM
treatments would have an ethical obligation to tell patients about that very
implausibility and lack of efficacy.
