Preface
Homeopaths and Homeopathy have been in the background for a long time. In
the "tram" of medical sciences, it is the only science with firm principles and
unaltered and with a concrete philosophy as a basis. None of the principles
homeopathic or the ancient medications, became obsolete over time
of time. None of them developed resistance forces against the viruses and beings
humans as well. They are as effective in 'single dose' as they were 250 years ago.
years ago, when they were discovered. This persistence and "consistency" of the
homeopathic medicines and their results occur despite drastic changes in the
world scenario and no progress in the investigations
made by any multibillion-dollar multinational company. This speaks for itself,
clearly about the stability and scientific nature of this science called Homeopathy. The
other medical sciences that self-define as scientific sciences are occupied
redefining their "principles" in multi-million dollar extortion industries and laboratories
which produce in large quantities and very quickly new and modern
versions of 'killer drugs' (which are supposed to kill bacteria and viruses), to be
considered and discarded as dangerous and ineffective after a decade of their
invention All this in the name of scientificity!
These sciences have been struggling to find a drug that can 'cure'
an allergy or a "common cold", in the true sense of the term. Its knowledge
superficial limits you to 'thinking' of a human being as a pile of 'pieces

super specialists”, they are, unknowingly, blissfully unaware of the “connections

Prologue
The nature of my son Prafull, since childhood, was to do good. His character
inquisitive made him go through paths not frequented by many. His creativity
that garnered praise in manual work, today has helped him create more paths
easy, new theories and hypotheses. His stubbornness made him hold on to his theories with
conviction. His voracity for knowledge led him to acquire deep knowledge in
genetics, embryology, human biochemistry, psychology, medicine, and materia medica.
Additionally, his mischievous, cheerful, and jovial nature has helped him not to take things seriously.
annoying issues and situations.
This second book, in which he works with acute diseases and their
management will become a benefit for practicing homeopaths, as well as
for students who wish to practice classical homeopathy naturally. In this
book, it reveals all the secrets of a well-executed practice, being this another of its
qualities that will benefit the homeopathic fraternity. I wish Dr. Prafull a
immense success in his adventure and I pray to the Almighty to help him serve the
afflicted humanity.

Chapter 1
Introduction
When Homeopaths, even prestigious Homeopaths, face cases
of pneumonia or of typhoid fever, they prefer to refer the patient to a doctor
conventional.
Many medical texts were written regarding the treatment of fevers and
acute diseases. Likewise, homeopaths encounter difficulties in obtaining
results in such cases. The reasons can be many, but the main reason is the
In disobedience to the laws, the 7 cardinal principles of Homeopathy are not
applied and the laws, such as those of Hering, are set aside.
The new concept that I propose here is not, in fact, a new concept, but
a renewal of the principles of Homeopathy, so preached by the masters,
but not understood by many. I have planned a simple way to reach the
simillimum in acute cases. It is nothing more than the simplification in the search for
similar without violating the seven cardinal principles of Homeopathy.
8
Acute diseases, for example, fevers, diarrhea, dysentery, abdominal pain,
neuralgias, etc. have been, until today, treated with much 'panic', proportional to the
severity and acuteness of the condition. I take the blame and include myself in engaging in this type of
prescriptions, prevalent in most homeopathic circles, in the early
years of my practice.
Fever has been and has been treated under non-homeopathic principles with
homeopathic medications such as: ferr-p 3X or 6X, kali-m 3X/6X, nat-m 3X/6X or
a combination of Belladonna, Aconitum, Ferr-p or Eucalyptus, china, chin-a, etc., in
potencies 30 or 200 or Azadirachta, Baptista, Pyrogenium, etc. In the form of mother tincture
frequently repeated.
Diarrhea is treated with Podophyllum, Aloe, Gratiola, Gambogia, Veratrum.
album, China, Arsenicum, Croton-t, all repeated every hour, two hours or three
hours, depending on the 'mood' of the homeopath or the formula established by the homeopath
(the formula with which he or she has achieved better results). Atrophy of similia...?
Secondly, the patient should not feel down, weak, or tired despite
of high temperature, nor, in fact, lose their appetite or vigor for work. Likewise,
patients with positive Nidal test for typhoid fever have been seen returning to their
usual work without realizing that they are suffering from typhoid fever. And all this with the
fever responding to a single dose of the indicated medication within the first
24 hours!
The classical homeopathic treatment with a single dose obscures, by far, the
old treatments with multiple doses or with multiple medications.
9
With the old concept, even the doctor does not trust the result.
With the new concept, the doctor can 'foresee': 'around 9 in the morning,
you will be ready to work soon, etc.
With the old concept, allopathic crutches are often necessary. With the
new concept, no.
The treatment for typhoid fever should never be followed by 'hair loss'.
it should not be understood as an externalization.
Explanation:
Observing the embryological origin, it can be concluded, with certainty, that the
the disease has been transferred from the endoderm to the mesoderm, the latter being,
definitely, deeper in its origin and more important. Therefore, alopecia
after typhoid fever there is suppression and lumbalgia or arthralgias after typhoid fever or
Dysentery is suppression.

The table shows the list of acute diseases in which the 'Acute Table' can be used.

c.- Ailments such as acidity, transient discouragement, colds, gastric discomfort due to
food excess or heavy food, bruises and minor abrasions, etc. They are
self-limiting and do not require any treatment.

The second group (b), that is, the one of acute exacerbations of the
chronic diseases must be treated strictly as a chronic case,
using the constitutional genetic simillimum. A medication is not justified.

The Table of Agudos presented in this book should not be used to obtain
results in such exacerbations. If used, it can provide you with a
improvement followed by worsening of the disease, leading to suppression.

understood by most homeopaths. For acute treatment, many
light attitudes are taken and any medication not linked to the constitution is
selected based on one or two symptoms and ends up being prescribed.

On the other hand, medications such as Tarent, Merc, Bell, Nux-v, etc. have

The new painting that has appeared is known as an acute painting, and it has, without a doubt
doubts, relationship with the original constitutional framework.
Thus, if the 'Opium genetic Constitution' suffers from fever or dysentery, for being
affected by stronger dynamic influences, temporary disturbances will occur
in the basic constitutional framework, in terms of activity, thermal, thirst, giving
origin, invariably, to a picture of Acon, Bell, Bry, Nux-v, Hyos, Nux-m, the
which are related to Opium. This occurs only if the Opium picture

important quality of nature that can be used, virtually, as a
rubric for eliminating to reach the simillimum.
Obviously, the issue can be summarized with the question 'why is that so
important"? How can being Diligent or not Diligent make such a
difference when deciding on the simillimum? The difference is simple for the people who

Recommendations to patients

example, cold drinks, sorbets, acidic things, fruits like bananas, etc. We are

c. Allow the patient to work and carry out their usual activities, if they have
interest and so you wish.
DO NOT DO
a. Do not allow anything that is, in any way, an anesthesia for the tissues or
cells. Things that contain menthol or mint, such as mentholated oils,
mouthwashes, refreshing pills, Vick-type tablets, can anesthetize the cells

ointment, including homeopathic ones (calendula, arnica, graphites) should not

electric potential gradient at the cellular level and in the skin tissues,
preventing, as a consequence, the action of our third excretory system, or
skin (the other two are urine and feces) for excreting toxins. These
local applications, including eye drops, optical drops, chemical tattoos,
hair conditioners, dyes, anti-dandruff shampoos, soaps
medicinal, etc., should not be allowed, to achieve better results (the
The only exception is mentholated toothpaste, as people are
accustomed to them for many years and homeostasis is established by itself
alone since childhood with these pastas)
The homeopathic medicine does not fail in its action within the first 24
hours, causing worsening or improvement, when it is well indicated. Let the body
heal. Do not force the healing, just stimulate the body to heal. Hering's Law is a
mandatory knowledge that every homeopath must know.

Attention
I hope that diseases change from a syphilitic state to a psychotic one, and
from this, to a psoriatic one, for example, in skin lesions, the deep cracks and the
destructive ulcers must disappear first, followed by the disappearance of the
corneal lesions, calluses and warts, followed, finally, by pimples or
boils (For more details, see the Table of the 7 Levels of Suppression).

In the reported case, the diarrhea that occurred was undoubtedly due to some infection or
food poisoning. The body, or the constitution of the human being, is made of
such a way that it does not tolerate absurdities, toxins, or anything else that may cause

harm to the person. That is why it has its own defensive mechanism that,
instantly, it starts to eliminate toxins through the intestine by inducing
hyperperistalsis that manifests as diarrhea. In fact, diarrhea, at least in
this case, was a mechanism of the body to heal itself. The healing was
in progress and, after the elimination of toxins by the body, the patient is already

Returning to the clinical case, one should never give importance to the Chills, at the time

sweat time. These chills and tremors are symptoms of the disease, or
better said, a general mechanism for heat production. They manifest themselves by themselves
the same only when the patient is sick. Chills or tremors occur as
a mechanism for increasing temperature, when the primary engine center of
chills, located in the dorsomedial portion of the posterior hypothalamus, is excited by
cold signals, coming from the skin and the spinal cord. This results from the
oscillation of the feedback from the stretch reflex of the muscle spindle. The Tremor

Repertory, much of which may not be very reliable, the homeopath may be led to
the confusion. Moreover, it is a symptom of the disease, a reaction to the
disease. So, if we do not take into account fever or chills, what should we
consider to prescribe?

What we would like to know is: was the constitution affected so drastically by
point of provoking a change in the Activity, in the General and Thermal symptoms, in
thirst and in mental symptoms? Does it mean that this is how the constitution is
does it react to acute illness? Only if the General Symptoms, the Thermal ones,
thirst and the mentals were altered in relation to the "original", the patient should need
something different from its original constitutional remedy.

General Activity
Because "Activity" is important to assess whether the constitution was altered,
that was already explained in the previous chapter of ACTIVITY.

Singing: The patient, due to the elevation of temperature or toxicity, becomes more

c. Hot or cold are very difficult to define, therefore they are discarded.
My answer is:
a. Whether hot or cold was recorded in the temperatures of the West, likewise
recording at 4 am or recording at midnight, they were also
defined by Western patterns. Should we, then, convert them to the
patterns of India and take aggravation at midnight being at 7 or 8 of
the morning?. If so, Arsenicum would be given instead of Bryonia, etc. If the
time is relative, temperature is equally so. Hot and cold must

or 'aggravation from heat' or 'aggravation from the Sun'.
Likewise, a cold-sensitive patient does not mean 'aggravation by the cold' or

hot or cold bath. I have seen students fooled because of the temperature of the water
of the bathroom.
The bathroom with hot or cold water is not reliable information, as it is nothing more than
a habit. In cities and developed urban areas, where electricity
it is easily available and heaters and hot water sources are easy
accessibility, there is a trend to bathe with hot water, which ultimately
make it a habit.
With greater sophistication, more people tend to incorporate the use of hot water and
of heaters, even in hot climates like in Mumbai. In rural areas or in
those not so developed where heating or daily water use is
impracticable, you can find people bathing in cold water, even in the most
cold of winters, without labeling them as warm. It is more of a habit.
Speaking about the bed, many patients can be found saying: 'I
I have to have a blanket, thin or thick, over me when I sleep at night.
Again, here, we have a habit. In such patients, one must be aware of
considering their nature, before labeling them as warm or cold.

Another notable point in this section of warm and cold is that, in most of
In neurotic patients, the importance of thermal sensitivity can be minimized.
These are antagonistic. The reason here is the following: being hysterical, as suggested by the
the word hysteria, they have a tendency to react more than normal to the
usual stimuli. We can cite, for example, a common argument between husband and
woman, because of the fan at night, which is exaggerated by one of them,
leading to divorce or suicide: one of them is positively reacting

hysterically. When a common contradiction from someone leads the other to the
Rabia, this person is hysterical. In summary, when any reaction to situations
it becomes disproportionate in relation to the action or the stimulus, the sensitivity of
that person is heightened, and on the verge of hysteria.
At this point, speaking of thermal sensitivity, the same rules are applied.
Heat and cold are stimuli. If a patient is hypersensitive to almost all stimuli, the

we refer to the skin's ability to lose heat to the environment.
The skin, the subcutaneous tissue, and the fat of the subcutaneous tissue are insulators of
heat.

Fat is, especially important, because it transmits only one third of
heat in comparison to other tissues, because most of the heat is produced in
the deep parts of the body. The insulation beneath the skin is an effective means to
maintain the central internal temperature normal.

Drug Relationships
It has been observed that everything in this world is mathematics. Human beings and
their perfectly balanced feedback systems are in homeostasis by
mathematical reasons. Even the complex intracellular mechanism or that of the organism
Humans are governed by laws and mathematical formulas.
The Nernst equation that controls sodium and potassium in all tissues and
cells claims:
The permeability of the cell membrane for various elements is given by the
formula:
Membrane permeability = a x b / c x d x e
These and many other mathematical formulas exist abundantly in the books of
physiology. The defined values established as normal for hemoglobin,
leukocytes

etc., are, by themselves, a great proof of the mathematical nature of the body.

It will only be the inflexibility (or foolishness) on the part of the doctor not to be
agreement that any change that occurs in nature, in behavior, or in
other words, in the secretions of neurotransmitters that result in anger and fear
(adrenaline), depression and sadness (serotonin, epinephrine), etc., is not related to the
original nature of a person.
In summary, if changes in the simillimum are temporarily observed.

It can develop diarrhea from Nux vomica, Pulsatilla, Aloe, Arsenicum, etc.
In a Calcarea carbonica constitution, fever must develop general symptoms.
For example, Belladonna's Heat and Sensibility, Rhus tox, Nux vomica, Sepia,
Silicea, Graphites or Natrum carbonicum, if the chilly type is still present. If it has changed from
sensitive to heat during fever, then it can, mathematically, manifest
symptoms of Lycopodium, Pulsatilla, etc.
If the Lycopodium constitution is affected by stronger dynamic influences,
can switch to the general manifest symptoms of Lachesis, Sulphur, Pulsatilla,
Bryonia, Iodum, Kali iodatum, or Ignatia, Ipeca, Silicea, Sepia, Nux vómica, Phosphorus.
Those who do not perceive the need to act this way may not be

I never perceived the importance of the relationship between medications.

To confirm a cold constitution, please do not ask questions about the bathroom.
hot or cold bath. I have seen students fooled because of the temperature of the water
of the bathroom.
The bathroom with hot or cold water is not reliable information, as it is nothing more than
a habit. In cities and developed urban areas, where electricity
it is easily available and heaters and hot water sources are easy
accessibility, there is a trend to bathe with hot water, which ultimately
make it a habit.
With greater sophistication, more people tend to incorporate the use of hot water and
of heaters, even in hot climates like in Mumbai. In rural areas or in
those not so developed where heating or daily water use is
impracticable, you can find people bathing in cold water, even in the most
cold of winters, without labeling them as warm. It is more of a habit.
Speaking about the bed, many patients can be found saying: 'I
I have to have a blanket, thin or thick, over me when I sleep at night.
Again, here, we have a habit. In such patients, one must be aware of
considering their nature, before labeling them as warm or cold.
A timid constitution like that of Calcareous, which prefers to withdraw into a shell,
she climbs under the sheets and blankets believing that they are a shell and, then, she needs
they for their comfort, regardless of being hot or cold.
Another notable point in this section of warm and cold is that, in most of
In neurotic patients, the importance of thermal sensitivity can be minimized.
These are antagonistic. The reason here is the following: being hysterical, as suggested by the
the word hysteria, they have a tendency to react more than normal to the
usual stimuli. We can cite, for example, a common argument between husband and
woman, because of the fan at night, which is exaggerated by one of them,
leading to divorce or suicide: one of them is positively reacting
