I've heard it said - to have a natural medicine practice in the '70's and '80's was 90% knowledge and 10% marketing, these days it's 10% knowledge and 90% marketing.

So buyer beware.

Hello Jayne - my first time hearing this! I suppose it applies across the board!

It is indeed sad and heartbreaking that we continuously have to defend authentic (classical) homœopathy against impostors using the same name. That's such a conundrum which I'll have to delve into one of these days...

I completely understand where you come from. I respect it. Nevertheless, I find the Banerji family (India) 150 years of research and methodology a very effective and efficient way to use homeopathy in a practical manner, even from non-homeopaths. As you probably know, they match very common symptoms with remedies, without diminishing the individual or the practice. It would be interesting to hear your point of view on this kind of homeopathic healing.

Hello Martinos!

Personally, I do not know enough to make comment on Banerji protocols specifically - are you able to provide study links etc., please?

I do know that this methodology evolved from necessity due to huge daily patient loads within their hospital in India.

For us living luxuriously, routine (allopathic) prescribing of homeopathic medicine is not only unnecessary, it downgrades the true value of its potential.

Individualized homeopathy always respects you as an individual.

Keen to hear more from you Martinos!

hello Sarah, this here is a link to Banerji Foundation blog (https://www.pbhrfindia.org/blog.html). I am afraid not much is there online, as they are very busy, and an important family member passed away last year.

They did launch a new book, I have ordered it but it takes forever to come from India... 😁

I learned of the Banerjies while exploring homeopathy online, as I cannot afford extra formal education, yet. A homeopath that often writes for the Weston Price Foundation caught my attention, Joette Calabrese, who runs a homeopathy-for-home education portal.

I have benefitted greatly from homeopathy from an early age, but this kind of help through practical remediation of everyday issues has enabled me to do two things very effectively.

A. Keep my big family mostly away from modern allopathic doctors.

B. Have useful tools to complement my own protocols for several health concerns.

Together with lifestyle, diet and environment, simple protocols can change the game in favor of natural healing.
