1. Question: My patient wants to use ayurvedic oil (with strong fragrance of mint) for massaging his body, will this affect the efficacy of his vibro pills?
Answer: In order to maintain the efficacy of the remedy, it is best to take vibro remedy at least 20 mins before or at least one hour after the massage.

2. Question: In order for the vibro remedy to be effective, we advise patients not to touch the remedy pills with their hands. However, will there be any contamination of the pills if we touch the blank pills?
Answer: Even though the pills may not get contaminated if touched by clean hands, we strongly recommend that you use a non-metallic clean spoon to handle pills. In any case thoroughly wash your hands with only water (without using soap) before making remedies.

3. Question: We are not supposed to accept any donations or gifts but sometimes patients of their own accord bring bottles, pills or rose water (for making eye drops), can we accept these?
Answer: Unsolicited gifts of such items for seva are acceptable provided we do not encourage the patients to bring them.

4. Question: My bottle of alcohol is charged with anti-radiation cards NM45 Atomic Radiation & SR324 X-ray. Can I use this alcohol for making nosodes. My understanding is that no other vibration should be added to a nosode.
Answer: It is true that while preparing a nosode we generally do not add any other vibration but anti-radiation remedies can be added while making a nosode from a bodily discharge such as urine, sputum or pus. However, we recommend you to use only pure alcohol while potentising blood or hair as these two are integral parts of the body.

5. Question: If a patient is taking a blood nosode for a long period for some chronic problem and now develops an acute pressing problem, can we give appropriate remedy for the new ailment along with nosode?
Answer: As the acute problem is likely to disappear after a short time, it is best to stop the nosode. It is possible to take both with a gap of an hour between nosode and new remedy. However, this may slow down the improvement of the acute ailment.

6. Question: One of my patients is unable to take the remedy in normal cool water. He needs to warm the remedy water by keeping it in a glass bottle in a vessel filled with hot water. Is this method satisfactory? Or is it better to advise the patient in such cases to take the remedy in pills only? I am not clear if the heat from gas stove would affect the remedy adversely?
Answer: It has been mentioned elsewhere that the vibro remedies should be kept at temperatures under 40C. The method used by your patient to warm up the remedy water is good provided the water in the outer vessel is not too hot.

7. Question: My plastic remedy vials do not have flat bottoms since the outer edge of the base is slightly raised. As the inner base is not in contact with the bottom of the remedy well, am I allowed to use them for preparing remedies? In fact, I have found that most plastic and glass bottles have a slightly raised outer edge at the bottom.
Answer: We know that many bottles have a raised outer edge. The good news is that vibrations are able to travel up the raised rim to the medium inside; hence such bottles are OK to use.

8. Question: Do samples and remedy mediums need to be placed in containers with lids in the SRHVP wells?
Answer: No, it is perfectly okay to prepare remedies in uncovered containers.

9. Question: While preparing a combo in the SRHVP using a drop of alcohol, sometimes a lot of alcohol evaporates, especially when using several cards. Can we still put the pills in and shake to prepare the remedy?
Answer: Yes, you can still put the pills in and shake to prepare the remedy. Evaporation is less likely to occur if you put a lid on the bottle before placing it in the Remedy well. Nevertheless you must be comfortable before adding pills that there is enough alcohol in the bottle. When preparing a long combo which takes several minutes, use an extra drop of alcohol to take account of any evaporation. If you still consider that there is insufficient alcohol left, another drop can be added even after the charging process.

10. Question: When you give vibrational version of an allopathic medication to a patient, for example a painkiller or antibiotic, does the patient continue to take the allopathic medication or can he stop it and take only the vibro remedy?
Answer: In the case of an antibiotic, it should not be stopped until the full course is completed. The painkiller can be reduced/stopped provided the patient feels comfortable and has advised his physician.
