We have explained in brief the principles of Homeopathic science, but we find that there are many misunderstandings in the minds of even well educated persons. We should therefore want to remove these as far as possible.
It is often said that there is no surgery in Homoeopathy and without it, it cannot be called a complete science. This is a great misunderstanding. Homoeopathy is a therapeutic science or the art of healing the diseases of human beings by using medicinal substances. Surgery is a technique, a method of removing certain impediments in the way of curing a disease, such as removing a thorn from one’s foot, or setting up a dislocated bone. If a foreign particle has entered one’s eye, we would have to remove the foreign body by washing the eye by using and eyeglass, or if we turn over the lid and clear the eye with wet linen, the foreign body will be removed. There cannot be two opinions about it. All sciences whether it Allopathy, Homoeopathy or Ayurveda, will take the same step. Therefore, where this kind of manipulation or surgery is needed, Homoeopathy will agree to it.
But there is difference of opinion regarding where surgery would be essential and where it could be avoided. We are of the opinion that in 50 percent of the cases where surgery is practiced it can safely be avoided. As soon as a case of tonsillitis or appendicitis is detected, Allopathy would at once advice surgery, but I can say from my own experience that many cases of appendix and tonsils have been completely cured by oral medicines, though there have been such cases of appendix and tonsils or fistula in which I myself have advised operation. Cases of gangrene declared incurable and advised amputation of the affected limb, yielded to Homoeopathic treatment and the patients are hale and hearty. Therefore no system of medicine and be called incomplete if it does not have surgery. It fact, surgery is common to all medical systems.
Often patients ask Homoeopaths: “Doctor, can homoeopathy treat a case of Asthma?” “Are there remedies for liver troubles in Homoeopathy?” “Can enlarged prostates be cured by medicines without operation?” There is only one answer to all such questions- that Homoeopathy can successfully treat and cure all such cases. It will, therefore, be wiser to give it a trial.
