A JOURNEY OF LEARNING, INSPIRATION AND LOVE
Report on the 7th International & 27th National Conference on Homeopathy and Complementary Medicine


Presided by Her Royal Highness Permaisuri Siti Aishah Bt. Dato Seri Abdul Rahman
Organized jointly by the Malaysian Homeopathic Medical Practitioner Association (MRHP), Persatuan Iktisad Homeopathy Malaysia (POLYCREST) The faculty of Homeopathy Malaysia (FAHOM) and Singapore Faculty of Homeopathy (SIFOH)
Sponsored by Masood Homeopathic Stores and Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan
Chaired by Prof Dr Nik Omar bin Hj Nik Daud
1-3 September 2006, Genting Highlands, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

1. The Journey
The Singapore team, comprising 19 practitioners and 6 accompanying family members set out from Singapore in the early hours of September 1, 2006 by various means, by coach, by plane and by car, but all to the one and same destination, Genting Highlands. For many of us, it was a first experience in an international homeopathic conference with many homeopathic masters and real practicing doctors. For once, we would be seeing more of, and different “Dr Rangacharis”, who till now, is our one and only Homeopathic master. In our hearts there was hunger to learn and grow in homeopathy. Little did we know that this would turn out to be more than just a journey of learning, but more so, one of inspiration and love.

Arriving at the conference hotel past 3pm, we were pleasantly surprised at the efficiency and simplicity of the check-in process, very ably handled by Dr Nik Omar himself and his team. Each armed with our conference kit and bags, we set out to our rooms and thereafter to a hearty local Malaysian lunch.

Being in the midst of a large and inviting shopping mall and with the majority of us being of the female gender, the next course of action was obvious. No need for consensus, it was obviously time to shop, shop and shop. After 3 hours of enriching the Malaysian economy, and with aching legs, we settled down to a relaxing dose of foot reflexology which calmed the nerves and added to the joy of a day well spent. Somehow the pains from the long journey just vanished magically.

By evening, it was time to gather in Dr Rangachari’s room and in very organized Singaporean style, to get a briefing for the next day. Aunty (Mrs Rangachari) had arranged for dinner for all and made sure everyone had a chance to eat his/her fill before a good nights sleep. It felt like being at home with love and warmth of family.

After dinner, the more energetic amongst us ventured out to the conference hall, to as they say, “check it out” and to do a dry run of the Singapore presentations. Along the way, we were pleasantly surprised to meet Dr Dhole who started the journey of inspiration by expounding on various aspects of homeopathy. His words flowed like music to the ears. Mesmerised by the depth and complexity of the discussion, we were finally led back to the basics – the simple principles of Homeopathy. So complex and yet so simple.

2. The Conference – Day 1

The Singapore Team in full force.
The Singapore team sat together in full force with pride and enthusiasm. The programme started with the reading of the Quran and the solicitation of blessing from the Almighty Allah.

Address by Prof Nik Omar, President of Malaysian Homeopathic Medical Practitioners Association and also The Chairman of IChc 2009
Prof Nik Omar, gave the opening address and welcomed all the participants from over twenty-seven nations. He highlighted that Homeopathy had grown from its infant state in Malaysia and was now a major challenging force to modern medicine. The number of homeopaths had grown from a mere handful to over 2000 today. Much of this growth was possible with the support from countries like India and Pakistan.

Prof Nik Omar also highlighted that the Ministry of Health supports the development of Homeopathy and he gave credit to the Homeopathy Faculty of Malaysia for successfully persuading over 6 staff from the Ministry of Health to attend a short course on the principals and practice of Homeopathy. This gave them a deeper understanding of the science. He also highlighted that the Malaysian Medical Act sanctioned the practice of Homeopathy since 1971, and that homeopaths were free to practice in the whole of Malaysia. From a national perspective, Homeopathy could eliminate the need for diagnostic tests and to some extent hospitalization.

He highlighted the work of the various organizations in Malaysia and their significant contributions to many countries around the world who had sought assistance from Malaysia. Homeopathy would open a whole new chapter of healthcare in Asia and that all homeopaths should come forth and seize the challenge.

Address by Dr A K Seth, Secretary General, AHML, India

Dr Seth praised Prof Nik Omar for organizing the international conference and for strengthening the roots of Homeopathy. He said he was especially happy as he had a chance to reconnect with old friends and make new ones at the conference and encouraged all to do the same.

Dr Seth highlighted the shortcoming of allopathic medicine, citing the creation of disease resistant conditions (e.g. through the use of antibiotics) and the high cost of medicine with no total cure. Homeopathy as a science was complete and provided man with total healthcare. He felt it is the responsibility of all homeopaths to strengthen their roots and prove themselves worthy of this science in order for all to have a brighter future.

Address by Dr M A Rangachari, Founder and Principal, Singapore Faculty of Homeopathy
Dr Rangachari congratulated Prof Nik Omar for his stalwart leadership and said that his efforts had provided great impetus for the growth of Homeopathy in Singapore and the region. He also shared the common goal of serving humanity through Homeopathy and highlighted the many activities that were being undertaken by the Faculty of Homeopathy Singapore for the benefit of the less privileged and ill in Singapore. He also extended a personal invitation to all present to the next international homeopathy conference to be held in Singapore in April 2007.

Address by Dr B S Chandhok, Chief Medical Officer of Punjab and visiting Professor at The Faculty of Homeopathy Malaysia.


Dr Chandok congratulated Prof Nik Omar for having made Malaysia the most progressive country in terms of adoption of homeopathy in the region and also in the world. He highlighted that creating 2000 homeopaths in 30 years was a great feat, and added that he was most impressed with his interactions with the Malaysian students of homeopathy. He felt they were by far the most diligent and inquisitive students that we had met and said that homeopathy in Malaysia had a great future.

4. Highlights of Scientific Papers

Contribution of Homeopathy to Modern Surgical Oncology by Dr Alok Pareek, India

Prescribing the Homeopathic Way by Dr.A.K.Seth, India
Every patient has many layers of pathology and there is a need to deal with each layer. Proper constitutional prescribing taking into account totality can deal with the deepest layers. Even then only superficial layer is apparent. Some pathology remains in constitutional layers for life and are only brought to surface in traumatic conditions.

Case : Female , 42 year with cancer of throat. PH: chronic sinusitis and leucorrhea. Patient not worried about death, but worried about cost of treatment and how her hard-earned money will fizzle out. No one helped her with money and she felt resentful that she was not able to spend the money for her own enjoyment.

Cure :
o Rx : Progression from Psora to Sycosis
o Pulsatilla 10M. Sac Lac 2 months.
No change in ulcer. All old symptoms came back. She felt better.

Advantages of CFS treatment using Homeopathy include – whole person affected so constitutional treatment works, effective, no side effects, individualization.

Homeopathy : A Surgeon without Knife by Dr K M Nisanth Nambison, India
Dr Nisanth introduced a revolutionary concept in treating chronic disease, that is, with the use of a homeopathic anti-oxidant in combination with the administration of a deep acting anti-miasmatic remedy. He cited the case of Hepato-Cellular Carcinoma which was treated with Lycopodium ( deep acting anti-psoric) and Cardus Marianus Q [Hepatic anti-oxidant]. Over the years, Carduus Mar Q has been used as a homeopathic hepatic tonic, but only in recent years it has become evident that two of its major components protect the liver from free radical induced oxidative damage. Other remedies that can be used in the same manner as a homeopathic anti-oxidant include : Agaricus[cerebro vascular], Calendula [Local and system anti-oxidant], Capsicum, Fucus, Cuprum Met, Silymarin and Silybin [inhibits lipid peroxidation].

Ovarian Cysts with Homeopathic Treatment by Dr Harshal Anaokar, Singapore
Case : Female patient 42 year old
o Came with the chief complaint of excruciating pain in right abdomen, since the last 5 days, pain radiating towards the right thigh, pain aggravated with least motion or pressure
o LMP two months ago
o USG shows multiple cysts in the right ovary
o Operated on for left ovarian cysts 3 years ago
o Menses usually profuse with severe pain before menstruation and better after the flow starts
o Associated symptom : Severe throbbing headache
o Diagnosis : Right Ovarian Neuralgia

Cure :
o Apis Mel 200 (three times a day) was prescribed taking into consideration the following acute totality:
o Given as a acute remedy for ovarian neuralgia
o Acute pain and soreness in the right inguinal region
o Pain aggravated by touch, pressure or movement
o Suppressed menses with throbbing headache
After 2 days, patient’s husband reported pain was 40% better and that she could perform her daily chores. Dosage was continued for 4 more days. Pain had completely subsided after 4 days.
o Lachesis 200 (one dose)
Constitutional medicine. “I noted when prescribing Lachesis as the constitutional medicine, there was the lack of mental picture of Lachesis which we all have in our mind. We always conceive a Lachesis lady as a talkative, highly loquacious, jealous, suspicious woman. But this patient was very quiet, mild, gentle and contradictory to Lachesis. In fact, mentally, she fit more into the Pulsatilla picture. The physical generals strongly indicating Lachesis were : Complaints from left to right, severe dysmenorrhoea before menses, better with the flow, Suppressed menses with congestive headache, Cannot tolerate tight clothing”. Patient had her periods after 8 days. Subsequently, sonography done showed remarkably shrunken cysts
Case :
o Female aged 24 yrs, came with missed periods. Pregnancy tests negative. Sonography showed chocolate cyst in left ovary. Married since one year. Normally menses regular. Recurrent urinary tract infections. Painful intercourse with sensitiveness of vagina. Depressed and worried about the presence of cysts and the diagnosis. Had fear that she may not conceive because of the cysts. Physically presenting with heaviness in abdomen. Was operated for fibro-adenoma of the right breast a year back.

Cure :
o Thuja 200 (one dose) and placebo
 Left sided ovarian cyst
 Sensitiveness of vagina
 Emotionally vulnerable
 Anti-sycotic
Got her periods after 8 days. Heavy bleeding with lot of clots and pain from back to the thighs
o Sabina 30 was given for week
 Heavy bleeding with clots
 Severe dysmenorrhoea, pain from back to the thighs
 Complementary to Thuja

Bleeding and dysmenorrhoea was reduced by Sabina.

Patient complained of urethral burning for which Cantharis 30 was given. Sonography was repeated after a month which showed that the cyst had shrunk considerably. Now periods are regular, no dysmenorrheal, no dysparunia, no urethral burning.
Most patients come with the fear of undergoing surgery for any cause. Ovarian cysts and their related surgery also put the fear of infertility in the minds of the patients. Homeopathy is a very effective cure and a great alternative to surgery.

Ethical Case Taking in Homeopathy by B S Chandhok, India
“ A good doctor can make the patient laugh and cry in the first meeting “.

o Important observations : How he speaks , how he dresses [expressive/not expressive], innate characteristics
o Innate Characteristics
o Will [e.g. strong or weak willed, positive or negative, courageous or coward]
o Morals [e.g. diligence]
o Intellect
o Natural Traits (non-diseased state)
o Emotions (diseased state)
o Sensitivity
o Attachments
o Energy/Activity level (important for acute cases)
o Speech
o Thermals
o Case Taking
o Note down observations and statements.
o Do not interrupt. See how he is narrating the complaints
 Sepia, Puls, Nux V – constantly talking of their coughs
 Arg Nit – sits in FRONT of the doctor and challenges him
o Past History : traumas or past traumas
o Family History :
o Personal History and Mentals (FEEL the patient)

o Tips for Beginners
 Impress upon the patient on the need to open up. For this explain what is homeopathy (prepare 1-2 page brochure)
 Give him the background and likely course of action
 Very important to imbibe : confidence, confidentiality, hope and finally faith in the patient
 We need to be friendly and trust he science
 Positive inter-communication stimulates the vital force
