About Rajan Sankaran
Dr. Rajan Sankaran is a world famous homeopath. He is renowned for his groundbreaking ideas and for his visionary way of thinking in homeopathy. Whether it is in the domain of philosophy or materia medica his deep insights have profoundly affected the way many homeopaths think and practice today. Some of the radical ideas that Rajan has brought us include: searching for the central disturbance within the individual, expanding the concept and spectrum of miasmatic classification, and looking at situational materia medica. Most recently he has been exploring classification within the natural world and working with kingdoms and subkingdoms. Simultaneous to this is his search to find the 'vital sensation' in the case and his teaching of the 'seven levels of experience' within the human being. He is globally renowned as a clear and innovative thinker and is best known for his original and inspired concepts in homoeopathy. His ideas and lucid style make him very popular as a teacher amongst homoeopaths worldwide. His seminars and teaching courses have been widely attended internationally.

To all dislikes, if you don't understand Homeopathy, don't dislike it, it is great science beyond understanding of idiots

Dear Doctor! Can homeo dilutions kept for future use after part of it is used?

[murdocha]

Hold on a second, the description states that he "explains how homeopathy works and goes into detail about its ability to cure".
Did I miss something? Where is the description of how homeopathy works? Where is the detail about ability to cure? I heard vague statements about what homeopathy is and that it can cure, but no real details.
What about it being "fantastically scientific"? Where is the evidence for that? I can agree that the idea of homeopathy is fantastic, but in this case the definition reads:"imaginative or fanciful; remote from reality."
I like that he explains that 10 asthma patients might get 10 different remedies. I assume, then, that he would agree that companies such as Boiron, Hylands, Hahnemann Labs, Freemans and Ainsworths are fraudulent.

[lalitharamanan]

I can never get tired of listening to the genius that he is!

[AnnGrain]

Sankaran is always so clear and so inspirational!

[saibabaschool]

All are welcome to their opinions. But the fact remains that Homeopathy is the best way of treatment. Please talk to those who received a tiny dose of remedy and were well after taking the medicine.

[Zealith]

when he talks about the art of homeopathy, what he is really referring to is the art of eliciting a placebo effect.

[divyachoudhary]

Homeopathic is best thought it takes time bt it tries to cure d prob which is deep rooted
It cures d body nd makes d body potential enough toh fight with d same disease with out rushing to d clinic for next time
Just because d doctors who are practicing homeo are not dat passionate every time because homeo is vast nd is based on practice nd experience it doent means dat homeo is not effective

I want to engage the believers without rancor and trolling. Please let's get a discussion going. I have a few questions regarding homeopathy.

1) Why does homeopathic chemistry not work in situations that are not subjective and defined only by how the patient feels? If there is a 'vital energy' then it can and should affect other things around it beyond a patient. I should be able to exploit that vital energy to do things in the real world. Examples- how come I cannot dilute and succuse gasoline and run my car with it? How come I cannot dilute and succuse and dilute paint and paint my house with it? How come I cannot dilute and succuse and dilute a beer and serve a whole gang of people at a party?

2) Does homeopathy believe in the germ theory of disease?

3) Do you believe that standard pharmaceuticals operate under normal pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles, such as dose-response? How can you tell if a patient has overdosed on a homeopathic drug? What tests can you run to quantify the levels of medication in their systems?

4) What advances has homeopathy made in the past 50 years? Any field of knowledge working towards improvement should have made some significant and real achievements since it was originally envisioned? Or was homeopathy considered 'perfect' as originally envisioned, with no room for change, no room for updates, and no space for improvement?

5) If I gave a homeopath a vial of a homeopathic solution, with no label and no documentation, could they tell me what it is through any means of chemical of physical testing? If so, how? If not, then how can it be any different from plain water?

I need to get into the homeopathy business.

Just looking at the numbers. For a 60C dilution, if we start with a volume of 1mL (0.001L), then dilute with 99mL water (0.099L) we get 100mL (0.1L) of 1c remedy.
Remember that Hahnemann recommended a dilution of 60c for openers. The higher the dilution, the more potent the result.
Keep that up 60 times and we get 1e10^117L of 60c homeopathy.
Converting L to cubic metres, it's 1e10^114 cubic metres.
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=4/3πr^3
This gives a radius of 6.204e10^37m
That's 6.204e10^34km
It's a sphere with a radius of 6.204e10^34km
Want to put that into perspective?
The Universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old. Given the speed of light, the estimated size of the universe would be roughly spherical with a radius of 13.8 billion light years. A light year is 9.461e10^12km
So, doing the math, the sphere of 60c Homeopathic remedy created with a 1mL starting volume is 4.751e10^11 times larger than the observable Universe.
Yup.
There's nothing in it.

Saajeev Antony, remedies are given for the individual and so what works for you may work for a family member for the same condition/s - there are familial links - but probably would not.

Yes it works. The naysayers are generally ignorant about Homeopathic methodology and present prejudice and propaganda as opposed to well researched and clearly presented and articulated cases to reject it. Rejecting Homeopathy, or Allopathy for that matter, is anyone's right, but it is wise to do the work so you know what you are rejecting.

[silentgames]

I still can't believe people in this day and age still believe in homeopathy.

[ashwinmandan]

Btw, Homeopathy is from the 18th century, not from 2013

[rosasadeghian]

-HOMEOPTH'S  are an artists.
 The beauty of the life is art of understanding the individuality of the person .
Natural healing is inside you, not out of yours, We speak for themselves .
-Surgery is the end of the result of the diseases. ( They are an artists too ).

Homoeopathy One Of The Miraculous Gift From Our God

[bizop]

No use "throwing your 'pearls' among swines" and the ignorants here. Most critics think they know everything when in reality, they know 'nothing' at all, so they have no right to even comment when they've done no research on the matter cause it just make them look stupid. I am not a homeopath, but Homeopathy is a way of life and have helped many people, including myself and others I know.
Dr. Oz swears on the power of homeopathy and have been using this method for his family for many years, (even sells homeopathy kits). Dr, Mercola and Deepak Chopra studied homeopathy and practice them. Any men of their caliber will not waste their time on something which does not work... and they do intensive research on any subject before spilling it out in the public... so who's gonna listen to the dum-dums here who's done no research, but freely opens their mouth to criticism that have no truth behind them.
BBC went to all the trouble criticizing 'Homeopathy', but if you dig deeper, BBC and most other networks conspire to abolish anything that's good for humanity and they're bribed to broadcast lies to the public, but promote the 'big Pharmas', the big corporations, Monsanto, Con Agra and all the greedy corporations that are hurting our well-being... all in the name of 'profit'.
"Those who think it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it."
