In US, many people lost their sense of smell using Zicam nasal spray, a cold remedy they thought would be safer than other medicines because it was sold as homeopathic (!!).
Zicam’s homeopathic label allowed it to be marketed for a decade without a review for safety or effectiveness by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Homeopathic products — over-the-counter remedies that use plant, mineral or animal derivatives — don’t need marketing clearance from the FDA under U.S. rules.
Computer repertories have a significant role in homeopathic practice. I, recently, gave a comparative study of different homoeopathic softwares in Nehru Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, Defence Colony, New Delhi, and Dr. B. R. Sur Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, NanakPura, New Delhi.
I included four homeopathic software repertories programs in this comparison:
1. MacRepertory
2. RADAR
3. CARA
4. Hompath
This comparative study of 4 homeopathic softwares was presented to final year students of BHMS of these 2 homeopathic colleges.

I hope this message meets you in good health & spirit.
For long, I could not write to you about any event or happening at NHMC Alumni platform because of certain reasons. This year I had seen two major breakdown of my computer system where I lost nearly all my data, and each time it took much efforts to revive it back. It is really important to take backups timely, and would like to tell you that I found following utilities essential to keep the system in good shape -
1. ZoneAlarm Firewall
2. AVG Antivirus
3. CCleaner for crap cleaning and registry maintenance
If you don’t have any experience with these softwares, please read the details before installation. You can find all these freeware at www.filehippo.com
Now, lets talk homeopathy…
This is always perplexing situation whether we need to give more emphasis to location of the disease or the person. Dr. Gyan Wadhwani says “The Site of the disease (Location), for the homoeopathic physician, is of importance only in those cases, where the pathology has advanced so much so as to obliterate the General features of the patient. When we talk about Seat of the disease, we are talking about the entire morbid constitution that is giving rise to manifestations in the form of various illnesses…”
Homeopathy (also spelled homoeopathy) from the Greek words homoios (similar) and pathos (suffering), is a therapy that strives to treat “like with like” (the etymological origin of the word homeopathy: ’similar suffering’). Read more…
