2. ORGANOPATHIC
MEDICINES: MEDICINE
THROUGH WHICH YOU
CAN HANDLE DRUG
DEPENDANT CASES AND
GRADUALLY WEAN-OFF
CONVENTIONAL
MEDICINES
© Subrata

3. © Subrata
Subrata’s approach for the present drug dependant
world is aimed to give the homoeopath and his
patient the confidence that homoeopathy is working
within 1st or 2nd follow-up, through gradual reduction
of the conventional medication, if the patient so
desires. Thus patient becomes free from the side
effects of the chemicals and develops trust upon
you and your prescribing.

4. © Subrata
The “Modern Classical Prescribing” has been
specifically designed to use homoeopathic
medicines (homeopathic medicine) in drug
dependant cases and if the patient desires, wean off
gradually the conventional chemicals without any
complications or side effects. Dr. Banerjea has
extensively used either deep acting anti-miasmatic
medicines or lesser known organopathic medicines
to open such cases and when the totality is clearer,
prescribe a polychrest or constitutional medicine.

5. © Subrata
In aphorism §91 of Organon, Hahnemann clearly mentions about
prescribing for natural disease and not for conjoint disease
(where the drug induced artificial chronic disease is super-
imposed on natural disease and patient cannot give us a clear
picture e.g. modalities, sensation or characters of pain etc.). For
example, in a pain-killer dependant migraine case, you ask the
patient about the character of the pain (e.g. whether it is
stitching, tearing, throbbing, dull aching, bursting, numbness,
fullness etc.) or you ask the modalities (e.g. if the pain is better
by cold or warm application/flannel; how about the open air,
warm room etc.) and the patient replies, whenever I have the
pain. I take the pain killer; so I don’t know! Therefore, you
cannot frame an uncontaminated picture of the disease, as you
are unable to complete the symptoms with sensations,
modalities etc. to prescribe your powerful polychrest.
So please prepare the patient for receiving the polychrest
(PPPP).

6. © Subrata
In such situation, which is very common in the present
drug dependant world, on the basis of the few available
symptoms, prescribe an organopathic medicine (as
discussed here under Approach B) and start gradual
weaning off the conventional medicine. You may think
that, it can be risky, but have the confidence that the
patient has come to you because s/he is tired of the ever
increasing dosage of the conventional medication or its
side effects. So, as soon as you have given the control
of reducing the dosage in the hand of the patient; their
will power also helps them in a positive way. They also
get the confidence that (a) yes, I can control the dosage
and may take fewer chemicals; (b) there are alternatives
to manage my problem and © homoeopathy is working
for me!

7. © Subrata
The weaning off will be very gradual, e.g. for a pain killer
dependant migraine case, say the patient is taking pain killer
every 8 hourly; select an Organopathic homoeopathic
medicine and ask the patient that whenever s/he have the
pain, can take homoeopathic medicine, which is selected by
you in accordance with the few available symptoms and tries
to defer (even 1 or 2 hours) the conventional medicine as
much as s/he can. When he can’t anymore, take the pain
killer; as homoeopathy will take some time and our main
moto is to reduce the medication and get the uncontaminated
picture of the natural disease. In this way, the pain-killer
dependent patient who used to take the medication 8 hourly
can, with the help of homoeopathic medicine now defer the
pain-killer to 10 or 12 hourly, then 24 hourly and so on. In this
way the conventional medication/inhaler can be gradually
reduced or weaned off, if the patient wants (with the consent
of the patient &/or GP).

“…….…….The reason why Homoeopathy swallowed
up organopathy lies in the fact that Homoeopathy is
organopathy an something else besides, viz., the
differentiating law of similars. But one has to admit
when the other principles cannot be applied for the
selection of a homoeopathic remedy one should not
and ought not to neglect the principle of prescribing
on the basis of organo-therapy. Drs. John Henry
Clarke, R. T. Cooper, C. M. Boger and J. C. Burnett
have given in their writings and experiences the
importance of selection of Organopathic remedies
and their usefulness when other guiding symptoms,
causations and miasms were wanting……………..”

9. © Subrata
“…….…….If it be asked, What is here meant by
ORGANOPATHY? My reply is, that organopathy is
the specific local action of drugs on particular parts
or organs, as first systematized by Raemacher in the
early part of this century. It is thus, a very
convenient term in therapeutics as well as in
aetiology and pathology. In pathology the term
organopathy has long been in general use,
particularly on the Continent Europe. The French
understand by Organopathic an organ disease, and
as such it is an accepted term in pathology. The
same is true of Organ leiden in the German
language. All this by the way……………..” Ref:- Page

• As it is given in physiological or material doses,
therefore it acts more superficially, hence on the
patho-physiological level (stimulates the organ)
but not in the dynamic plane.
• By giving Homoeopathic Medicines in Tinctures,
you are prescribing on proving symptoms and
NOT on primary effects of crude drugs!
• When giving Pothos Q for asthma, you are still
prescribing on the basis of Law of Similia!
• By prescribing one simple, single medicine; you
are adhering to Law of Simplex and by Tinctures
are 1x= 1/10th dilution; therefore you are following
the Law of Minimum, as well.
