In his video, posted on Predictive Homoeopathy page on facebook(April 13, 2020), Dr Vijayakar has imposed a defective explanation about Corona Infection, Covid-19 disease and it's Homoeopathic management.
The defects in his explanation are manifold. I want to divide these flaws in two broad categories, based on issues related to Modern Medicine and secondly, issues related to theoretical and practical part of Homoeopathy.
Modern Medicine issues:-
Cause of COVID-19 according to Dr Vijayakar
Dr Vijayakar propagates the "injury to earth" as the cause of COVID-19 disease. In his clarification, electro-magnatic waves, or waves of 5G networks may cause this kind of "injury to earth". This "injury" further increased the vulnerability of Human DNA and RNA. In consequence of this "earth injruy" human DNA/RNA becomes "fragile". And according to Dr Vijayakar, this "fragility" is basic cause of COVID-19 disease.
False and Unscientific Explanation of Cause
Modern physics, does not accept this kind of "injury to earth" by electro-magnatic waves or waves of 5G network.
Modern medicine explains under Genetics that "fragility sites" on DNA may cause defective repair of DNA/RNA, which may cause various carcinomas, but any "viral disease" related to DNA fragility sites is yet unknown.
In last four months, while the CORONA virus infection is prevalent in humans, various scientific studies are continuous all over the world, but still there is no link discovered between Corona virus infection and "DNA/RNA fragility", in humans. So we can certainly propound that any claim of "fragility of DNA/RNA" as etiology of Corona infection is not based on facts, and totally unscientific.
It would be ridiculous to ask that in purview of "earth injury", why only humans are suffering? Every living being has some kind of DNA/RNA sequence in their cells, why only humans are dying? Although, we already know Corona viruses infect cows, pigs, bats, chickens and other animals as well. Only humans are recent victims.
Homoeopathic issues:–
Theoretical matters-
Although their is no accepted explanation yet, that why the death rates in Western part of the world is much more than Eastern part. Scientists are suggesting various causes, but they are not certain until they found any explanation with evidences.
But, Dr Vijayakar, claimed that Indians have "herd immunity" due to their "Satvik" genes which the westerners are lacking. Due to these superior quality of genes, Indians have only physiological or Psoric manifestation of COVID-19 disease while Western world has destructive-syphilitic manifestations, due to which their RNA-Genome is committing suicide.
But all the above explanation is transcending the Hahnemannian "Miasma theory". Even, it can be said, Dr Vijayakar's explanation does not compatible to Hahnemannian Homoeopathy, but something else.
Practical Matters-
While explaining the management of COVID-19 and Corona infection, Dr Vijayakar classify the patients under three categories.
In, Stage I, Psoric approach, he suggests to use his "Acute Chart" for management.
In, Stage II, where patients are asymptomatic, he explains virus is hiding and patient is Indifferent. Dr Vijayakar advised to take rubric INDIFFERENT, and suggests Sepia 200 on behalf of this rubric. Further he advises, to drop this medicine on patient's heel and spray medicine around home to use as preventive.
In, Stage III, when sudden Pneumonia, Multiple Organ Failure, high fevers start to pose a threat to life, Dr Vijayakar describes this as INSANITY, or MADNESS of GENOME. He termed this stage as CRAZY STAGE, and suggests to choose rubric INSANITY, MADNESS. Here, he prescribes VERATRUM ALBUM 50 M, as a curative medicine.
In Hahnemannian homoeopathy, either to select a preventive medicine(Genus Epidemics) or for a prescription, we need to collect all the sign and symptoms of a patient, organise and classify those clinical features, first as Mental Generals, Physical Generals, Particulars, Modalities, Concomitants, then to mark as PQRS and SRP. After the classification of clinical symptoms, we select rubrics from this raw data to analyse a case with help of repertorisation charting.
Let us quote from Organon:-
"It may easily happen that in the first case of an epidemic disease that presents itself to the physician's notice he does not at once obtain a knowledge of its complete picture, as it is only by a close observation of several cases of every such collective disease that he can become conversant with the totality of its signs and symptoms. The carefully observing physician can, however, from the examination of even the first and second patients, often arrive so nearly at a knowledge of the true state as to have in his mind a characteristic portrait of it, and even to succeed in finding a suitable, homoeopathically adapted remedy for it" (Organon of Medicine, §101) .
James Tyler Kent also emphasize the similar methodology :-
Kent described in the third lesson of his Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy a semiotic protocol to diagnose the group of medicines of the epidemic genius . He proposes to observe 20 patients affected by an epidemic disease, recording all symptoms in a schematic way (repertory classification) that when addressed collectively "will present one image, as if one man had had expressed all the symptoms".
By placing before each symptom the number of patients exhibiting them, the homeopath will be able to "find out the essential features of the epidemic" (nature of the disease) through the common (pathognomonic symptoms) and characteristic (peculiar symptoms) symptomatic totalities.
Sadly, Dr Vijayakar does not follow both the Masters of Homoeopathy. His methodology in selecting a preventive medicine as well as curative one, does not follow the prevalent methodology in Homoeopathy.
A person of well repute and trustworthy guide of many Homoeopaths, can not be reckless, irresponsible and unscientific in his public statements in matters of such a big concerns.
We are surprised on the blind faith expressd by our fellow homoeopaths on Predictive Homoeopathy. Are they blind indeed?
