1. Question:  I know that vibro remedies should not be taken along with homoeo or ayurvedic medicines but what about supplements eg, vitamins, minerals or herbs?

   Answer: It is perfectly acceptable to take supplements along with vibro remedies. However a gap of at least 20 minutes between      the two should be kept as we do between food and vibro remedies.

2. Question: In order to advise my patients, I need to know which minerals are essential for good health and which foods contain them?

Answer:  This question is beyond the scope of this Answer corner. In any case, practitioners should take it upon themselves to expand their own knowledge and understanding about diet and lifestyle, about health and disease, through reading and research. Powerful search engines are available for this. Use information from reputable academic sources and not from sites which are trying to sell products or services.

3. Question:  There appears to be a lot of concern about Zika, a newly discovered mosquito-borne disease. Please can you suggest a preventive remedy? 

    Answer:   We recommend you give SR300 Malaria Off 200C…BD for 3 successive days every 3 months in areas of high risk. Do not take any other homoeopathic or vibrionics remedy during those 3 days. ‘Malaria Off’ is available from a homoeopathic store. It is also included in CC9.3 Tropical diseases.

4. Question: If a patient is on his death bed, how would we know? What remedy should be given?

    Answer: You will normally get this information from a family member/carer who in turn would have got this from the doctors attending to the patient. The calming remedy SR272 Arsen Alb CM or CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic…QDS is most helpful for a person on his deathbed. However, as nobody can predict death, it may be premature to think that death is approaching. In any case, the above remedy will help in bringing peace to the patient. It is also important for people close to the patient to take an appropriate remedy.

5. Question: When we make blood nosode for some disease, I understand that no other vibro medicine should be given for that problem. If the patient later complains of hair fall or dandruff, can I treat it with a separate vibro remedy, while still taking the nosode?

    Answer: When we give a blood (or hair) nosode for any disease, it works on other problems too; in other words, it treats the patient as a whole. No other vibro/homoeo remedy is given as this would have the effect of diluting the nosode.

6. Question: If the photo of a patient is not available for broadcasting, can we use a piece of paper (with details like name, date and place of birth, ailment) in the 'Remedy' well instead?

Answer: For broadcasting, we need in the remedy well, a witness of the patient because the vibration of the patient is embedded in it. For this reason, it is not a good idea to use a piece of paper with patient’s details on it. It is recommended that you use either a blood spot or a lock of hair or a photograph (full-length photo maybe better) of the patient.

7. Question: I have a patient who did not have a bowel movement for 3 days after taking a remedy for another problem. Is constipation a form of pullout? I also asked her to take a lot of water. 

     Answer:  If the patient generally does not get constipated, then it is most likely to be 2^nd type of pullout. Constipation occurs when excessive amount water is absorbed in the colon making the faeces hard and difficult to move. If constipation is accompanied with extreme discomfort, then only one may consider reducing the dosage for a short time otherwise take no action. Drinking lots of water is always good especially when one is constipated. Taking prune/prune juice/psyllium husk/herbs can help naturally with constipation.

8. Question: In the 108CC book, it is stated that patients with eye issues (eg, cataract) take 25,000 units of Vitamin A daily. Is this the correct amount? 

     Answer: The maximum recommended daily dose of Vitamin A is less than 10,000 IU. The 25,000 Vitamin A recommendation prescribed  by Swami Narayani is outdated. The next edition of the 108CC book will reflect the latest information.

9. Question: What can I tell patients about how to clean pesticides off their fruits and vegetables?

    Answer:  Add one tablespoon of salt and two of vinegar to a bowl half full of water. Soak vegetables and fruits in it for twenty minutes; this leaches out pesticides and insecticides. Now wash them in running tap water to remove any residue.
