1. Question: Can I take my remedy for any other acute or chronic problem along with the Covid-19 prophylactic remedy?

Answer: Covid-19 preventive remedy should be taken on its own (without combining with another remedy) on waking up in the morning. Remedy for any other problem may be taken 20 minutes after that. Incidentally, we know that the 20-minute rule also applies to a nosode and a miasm, when it becomes inevitable to give it with another remedy. We have always taken the view that a 5-minute gap between remedies is usually sufficient but according to latest research, 20-minute gap is found ideal in all cases.

2. Question: For acute problems within my family, I find that a drop from 108CC box put directly in water is quick to prepare and more effective than pills dissolved in water. Can I do the same for my patients also?

Answer: Yes, you may do that but bear in mind that water remedy will last as long as the quality of water remains good for oral consumption, say a week. So this method may not be practical in case of a chronic problem, unless the patient is able to visit you every week for a refill. (Also refer to Q3 from vol 9 #2).

3. Question: The copper wells in my SRHVP have become very tarnished over the years. Does this in any way affect the remedies prepared? Is there anything I can use to remove the tarnish? 

Answer: It does not matter if the wells have become tarnished because this does not affect the quality of the remedies made. However it is recommended that the wells are cleaned periodically using a few drops of ethyl alcohol on a soft white cloth.

4. Question: I have recently started using a diffuser (instead of using a spray bottle) for dispersing the remedy CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic in my house to ward off negative energies. Would you recommend the use of a diffuser?

Answer: On the face of it, the use of a diffuser seems a good idea because it continuously produces a fine spray or mist which can disperse to a wider area of the room. No doubt in the case of something physical like flower essences a diffuser will be very helpful. But when one is spraying a remedy, it is done while praying. By leaving the remedy in a diffuser, one is likely to forget about the prayer aspect which is at least as important as the remedy itself. It is therefore better to proactively spray/sprinkle rather than use a diffuser. Further, the thoughts, feelings, and visualisations of the people living in the house also play an important role in warding off negative energies.

5. Question: My patient who lives abroad has systemic lupus for which, as per the SVP manual, blood nosode works well. He is unable to send a blood sample. Is there an alternative?

Answer: Yes there is. Blood nosode is primarily used to treat blood disorders but because blood carries the complete energetic signature of a person, it is also used to treat any complicated or systemic disease. The only other body part which carries a complete imprint of a person is hair which, although used primarily to treat hair problems, can also be used to treat any systemic disease. So, in the case of your patient, hair nosode should be just as effective as blood nosode. Note a nosode made from morbid matter in the body such as urine, sputum, pus, ear/eye/nasal discharge is used to treat ailments of corresponding bodily system or organ. Blood or hair nosode could also be used for these ailments but the nosode made from the specific morbid matter will achieve a much faster result.

6. Question: I would like to potentise 4 different allopathic medicines that my patient is taking, these are causing some new problems for him due to their side effects, though these are working well for his various health problems. Could the potentised remedy cause a severe pullout?

Answer: The fact that the medicines your patient is taking are causing some new problems implies that there is a buildup of toxins. The potentised remedy can help with the side effects by pulling out those toxins from the body. In most cases, this pullout is silent, so the patient does not feel any discomfort. But in a few cases this pullout can be strong, thus causing some suffering and we have no way of getting a forewarning of this. Therefore it is wise to err on the side of caution by starting with a low dosage, say OD or even a single dose and then slowly increase to TDS. Incidentally, exactly the same applies when a patient is treated with a potentised allergen.

7. Question: As one’s mind is the root cause of all diseases, is it possible that it is also responsible for an illness caused by an accident when one did not have an iota of a thought of accident at that time?

Answer: When a person meets with an accident and gets injured, it would appear that his mind could not have been responsible for it since he did not consciously think about it. Here we need to be aware that all our thoughts and emotions get recorded in our subconscious mind. A negative thought from the subconscious mind can result in an accident thereby causing injury.
