AcknowledgementsI would like to thank Dr. Rajan Sankaran, who himself is a master of the Materia Medica and all the members at the other song – International Academy of Advanced Homoeopathy for supporting me wholeheartedly, always. I believe, the other song is the best place in the world to study different approaches of homeopathy from various doctors under one roof.

I would like to thank my family, my wife and my children for supporting me at all times. They are the reason why I can function well at my clinic.

Also a big thanks to my clinic team at Salt Lake and Thakur Nagar for documenting my cases.

I would like to extend a huge thanks to Armeen Jasavala, the editor of this book. Her hard work, dedication, time and efforts are greatly appreciated. She has turned this raw material into a gem, which could be shared with you. She has worked tirelessly and passionately for this book.

Special credit also goes to Dr. Nikisha Harwani, Dr. Bhavika Lulla, Dr. Amruta Hede, Dr. S. Parkavi, Dr. Sheetal D. Bidri, Dr. Abhijit Nanavati and Dr. Arshia Khan as they all have helped immensely to form and refine this book.

This book was mainly Dr. Gaurang Gaikwad’s idea. A brilliant student of mine and now a thriving practitioner, he has worked tirelessly and passionately on this project for the past seven years by studying different Materia Medicas, studying cured cases and countless source books in order to correlate the different pathologies and remedies in those pathologies with one another. He also did vast research on various Clinical Repertories and Provings. I have added my own clinical observations and understanding to his compilation and am very thankful for his efforts.

Also, special thanks to Mr. Haresh Shah and HMP team for working tirelessly on this project.

Foreword

It gives me great pleasure to introduce this book to the homeopathic profession as it represents the lifetime work of Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar. He has worked tirelessly for the last four decades in his very busy practice in Calcutta, treating patients with various diseases and often those with severe pathologies. It is hard for us to even imagine the number of patients that he sees each day, falling anywhere between one hundred to one hundred and fifty.

In order to achieve this massive feat on a daily basis, Dr. Sarkar has studied classical homeopathy extensively and has the most minute of details recorded in his mind when considering a prescription. Through his life, he has been collecting information from various sources and applying them in his practice.

In specific, the main books he utilizes are Burnett’s Specifics, Clinical Remedies from Old Homeopathic Journals - Hahnemanian Gleanings, Guernsey’s Specifics, Bernoville Clinical Materia Medica, and Clarke’s Clinical Materia Medica. Also, he has picked up many tips from his extensive use of the repertory.

This along with years of vast clinical experience has allowed him to develop a list of tried and tested remedies for each presenting condition he sees, along with their indications. While this holds true, Dr. Sarkar does not limit himself only to these remedies. He is open to other possibilities too.

In this magnum opus, he along with Dr. Gaurang Gaikwad, who worked on this book for many years, compiled information of more than two hundred disease conditions along with a list of remedies that are commonly indicated in each condition.

To get the full value of this book and to understand Dr. Sarkar’s approaches in a more complete way, the reader is encouraged to read his earlier and popular work, Just You See: Broadening the Homeopathic Horizon.

Page 11: JUST YOU THINK · 2020-02-26 · JUST YOU THINK... The Top Remedies for Various Disease Conditions (Volume I) From the vast practice of Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar Compiled by Dr. Gaurang

12

In my opinion, this book can be utilized in many ways. For example: As a reference tool when there are no clear indications at higher

levels of experience such as mental and peculiar symptoms As a confirmation of the remedy (or as an additional indication) As a clue to examine the commonly used remedies in each

condition As a guide to consider rarer remedies (i.e. in cases of adenoids,

when Calc carb is indicated and fails, use Calc iod to get results) To see if any of the listed remedies fit the whole case When considering the use of an organ-specific remedy in cases of

severe and specific pathology To consider related remedies (i.e. Kali iod is known as ‘the hot

Rhus-tox’ or Hippozenium is the chronic Silica)

One of the best applications of this book is to use it in connection with all the other aspects of the case. An example I can give falls within the first condition he has described: Acid Reflux. One remedy mentioned in the list for this condition is Sulphuric Acid, where he writes:

Sulphuric Acid

I have found that in today’s day and age, especially in the IT profession, there is a lot of hurriedness. Sulphuric acid is indicated more in today’s environment than Nux vomica.

Sulphuric acid is egoistic like Sulphur, with the hurriedness, heat and aggravation by warmth of Medo. In this remedy, there is a lot of pain.

Below this interesting description he has given the medicine’s Noteworthy Symptoms.

When I read this, it made a lot of sense even from a Sensation point of view. Acids generally have the polarity of too much activity followed by collapse.

Many years ago in The Soul of Remedies I wrote:

Sulphuricum acidum has features common to the Acids and to Sulphur. An acid represents much effort followed by exhaustion; Sulphur

Page 12: JUST YOU THINK · 2020-02-26 · JUST YOU THINK... The Top Remedies for Various Disease Conditions (Volume I) From the vast practice of Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar Compiled by Dr. Gaurang

13

represents the need for effort to be recognized, to appear good, to earn a position of respect.

The most important thing that can be seen about Sulphuricum acidum is its tremendous hurry. It is one of the most hasty remedies in our Materia Medica. Sulphuricum acidum is hurried while eating, in movements, he cannot do things fast enough, he is hurried in walking, in writing and in occupation. But when we look behind this hurry, we find that there is a constant anxiety to finish one’s work as fast as possible. The hurry is much more in occupation than in other things. The anxiety, for example, is more in the morning and is ameliorated in the evening, when the work is over. It is an anxiety about completing his work and getting the things done.

He is also “serious”, “industrious” and “restless”. On the other hand (failed side), we have “weary”, “speech, monosyllabic”, “prostration of mind” and “discouraged”.

This book also highlights lesser-known remedies and compares remedies to one another. For example, under Acid Reflux, Dr. Sarkar writes that Robina is the ‘male Platina’. This is a very useful clinical tip, but we also must see how he came to this understanding. If you study the Materia Medica, you will find interesting mind rubrics that are shared between the two medicines including: delusion emperor, delusion better than others, unfeeling, hard hearted etc. This gives meaning to his words, rather than simply taking them at face value. As previously mentioned, Dr. Sarkar has invested countless hours of study to come to this point of understanding and this book will help guide the reader back to some original sources and foundations of knowledge.

Further, this book encourages us to look at the source of the remedies we use and also facilitates the opening of the mind to discover new remedies. Dr. Sarkar’s approach broadens our horizons and takes us out of our comfort zone. For example, his experiences with remedies outside of their conventional use are fascinating. He has utilized Indian remedies, Bach Flower Remedies, and often relies on allopathic pharmacopeia to help his patients. He uses homeopathic preparations of Cisplatin and Cyclophosphomide in cases of bladder cancer and gives specific indications that match the side effects of these medicines allopathically. I can say that this expansion of the materia medica by the inclusion of all these allopathic remedies is definitely appreciated.

I recall a case of mine where the patient had severe peripheral neuropathy. She was female and could not bear the slightest amount of touch on her feet. She found it impossible to put her feet on the ground. I tried many remedies using her symptom totality with little effect, and then remembered Dr. Sarkar. I went back to the patient and tried to trace the reason for the problem in the first place. She explained that this problem began after taking a medicine called Linezolid.

After hearing this, I went to study the Pharmacopeia and found that neuropathy was not only a main side effect of Linezolid, but the patient currently had all of the side effect symptoms. We procured the medicine in its homeopathic form and it provided significant relief to the patient. Interestingly, the side effects of allopathic drugs also become its homeopathic indications - and Dr. Sarkar has used this to great advantage.

Additionally, Dr. Sarkar’s forte is treating cancer cases and the information he has provided in this work is of incredible value and it is well-documented. For example, in cases of stomach cancer he mentions the medicine Agrimony (a well-known Bach flower remedy), and compares it to having a similar internal grief to Ignatia. He gives insights into his own clinical experience and observations as well, explaining that these patients feel tortured, yet talk with a smiling face. They do not discuss their suffering with others (this is known as ‘artificial smiling’). When we go back into the archives and study the Bach flower remedy understanding, we find that Agrimony has interesting symptoms like cheerfulness with sadness while thinking about death, laughing when sad, and saying he is well when he is very sick. We must realize while reading this book that Dr. Sarkar’s knowledge and ideas about remedies were not originally invented by him, but come from a much deeper study of homeopathic literature, which has been applied in countless amounts of cases.

One of the best qualities of this book is its modernity. Books on homeopathic therapeutics do exist, but he has brought his study into today’s day and age, including information on diseases like ALS, AIDS, and Cancers.

A book like this is quite alluring and some may say that it will be used as a short cut by practitioners or it could potentially create a dichotomy in

Page 14: JUST YOU THINK · 2020-02-26 · JUST YOU THINK... The Top Remedies for Various Disease Conditions (Volume I) From the vast practice of Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar Compiled by Dr. Gaurang

15

the minds of aspiring students as to whether or not to use a therapeutic approach or a traditional and classical approach. It might even seem that a book like this encourages a more superficial case-taking and not one that goes into the depths of the patient’s mind. But all of this is untrue. Dr. Sarkar completely bases his case taking on a holistic and individual approach and I strongly suggest that all homeopaths stick to these fundamentals of case-taking and analysis to ensure success.

Dr. Sarkar’s significant contribution is very valuable and gives us very useful clinical hints, which are quite in sync with our own observations. I do feel that each case must be studied in depth and in its totality. I also believe that if we put all of the different viewpoints together we will get a more rounded picture of the patient. I further hold that no work (including this one) should be studied in isolation. This work specifically focuses on a pathological approach to cases, but in the end, we must see how this information relates to the other aspects of a remedy such as the mind, the sensation, the kingdom, the miasm, the genius, the modalities, the source, etc. A more complete understanding of the remedies and of our patients allows for more consistent results in practice. With this basic understanding, if one has a case where there is a strong pathological foundation, this book is invaluable and can be used in a smart and judicious way.

We all owe Dr. Sarkar a great debt of gratitude for putting this bountiful amount of information down on paper. It is truly a labor of love from a man who lives and breathes homeopathy.

I salute him.

Introduction

Nowadays, we are seeing more and more complex disease pictures in our clinics. Treating complicated cases of cancer, autoimmune disease, and various other multi-system or deep pathological cases are just a few examples where homeopaths lack in confidence.

The idea of JUST YOU THINK came from the need for a modern-day clinical therapeutic resource. I would like to emphasize that this work is not going to replace the older and classical method of individualization and case analysis, but we wanted to form a Repertorial Materia Medica that can be used as a reference for various pathologies, from simple to complex.

This book was formed based on the study of Boericke’s Materia Medica, Clarke’s Dictionary Practical Materia Medica, Pulford’s Graphic Drug Pictures, NM Chaudhary’s studies, Hering’s Guiding Symptoms, Farrington’s Clinical Materia Medica and Hahnemann’s Materia Medica Pura. Repertories like Knerr’s Repertory, Kent’s Repertory and Boericke’s Repertory were also extensively examined.Old homeopathic journals including Hahnemanian Gleanings and North American Journal of Homeopathy were reviewed, and an in-depth investigation of other writings of various masters like Burnetts, Lippe, R.T. Cooper, Grimmer, and Bernoville was conducted.

Many cured cases of Dr. Sarkar were assessed and reviewed, as well as cases of various other Kolkata masters like B.N. Chakroborty, J.N. Kanjilal and M.M. Duttas.

The content in this book is of a massive scale, so we decided to release the book in two parts. This is the first volume of two. The diseases have been compiled and arranged in alphabetical order along with a list of clinically specific remedies.

Page 16: JUST YOU THINK · 2020-02-26 · JUST YOU THINK... The Top Remedies for Various Disease Conditions (Volume I) From the vast practice of Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar Compiled by Dr. Gaurang

For example, in the chapter CANCER BREAST there is the following list of medicines:I. Asterias rubensII. Hydrastis canadensisIII. Bellis perennisIV. Conium maculatumV. ScirrhinumVI. TamoxifenVII. OestrogenVIII. ArseniciodumIX. Phytolocca decandraX. Lobelia errinusXI. BromiumXII. Mercurius iodatus flavusXIII. Scrophularia nodosaXIV. Aconitum lycotonumXV. Chimaphilla umbellate

Each remedy has a detailed description of how it is applied in the given condition, along with a clinical differentiation of similar remedies, and a list of noteworthy, keynotes, modalities, and concomitant symptoms. Here, I want to stress that this book is mostly compiled of clinically-verified remedies, that have been used by various masters and Dr. Sarkar in practice.

This book also will act to encourage the reader’s curiosity and broaden their minds. In each chapter, the reader will not only see common polychrest remedies, but also organ-specific remedies, Indian remedies, Bach flower remedies, allopathic remedies in potentised form, pathological remedies, etc. proving that there is an entire spectrum of remedies we can use and that we should not be limited in our view. As Dr. Sarkar says, we should just think out of the box.

Page 17: JUST YOU THINK · 2020-02-26 · JUST YOU THINK... The Top Remedies for Various Disease Conditions (Volume I) From the vast practice of Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar Compiled by Dr. Gaurang

19

After reading this magnum opus, one may consider utilizing different approaches while treating various diseases, and especially while trying to analyze the case. For example, we should think of the application of Indian drugs like Rauwolfia in cases of hypertension with the keynotes of insomnia, depression and an amelioration from being outdoors; or we can consider the application of Tamoxifen, a potentized allopathic medicine to be used in cases of breast cancer; or the use of sarcodes like Thyroidinum or nosodes like Scirrhinum to be successfully applied in a number of modern-day disease conditions.

In short, JUST YOU THINK will broaden one’s vision and equip them with more than one approach when the classical or conventional approach fails.

Just You Think...

I. Robinia

This medicine is a clinical gem and one of the top remedies that I prescribe for acidity when the patient presents with the following symptoms: acidity is aggravated at night and on lying down.

I call Robinia, the male Platina. There is sleeplessness, marked aggravation at midnight, and on lying down.

Noteworthy Symptoms:- Pronounced acidity with frontal headache, intensely acrid

eructations with sourness- Acidity of children, irritable, indigestion (Knerr)- Sourness of vomit, stool, eructations, perspiration- Acrid and greenish vomiting, colic and flatulence, nightly burning

pains in stomach, constipation with urgent desire- Strong disposition to obscene, to gormandize and all kind of

orgies (Allen)- Excited passion

II. Mag carb

When there is a history of emotional suppression followed by acidity and reflux symptoms, think of this remedy. Keynotes include constipation from mental shock and hunger before menses.

Noteworthy Symptoms:- Desire for fruit, acids, and vegetables- Eructations sour and vomiting of bitter water- Craving for meat- Constipation after mental shock or severe nervous strain- Stool is preceded by griping, colicky pain; stool is green, watery,

frothy, like a frog-pond’s scum- Milk passes indigested in nursing children; sour, with tenesmus

(DDX Rheum)

Aggressive/Destructive Children

Aggressive/destructive children show distress, are easily upset, and are often hard to calm. It is difficult to sooth and assist them in managing their behavior. Aggressive/destructive children may be argumentative and verbally aggressive. They may have difficulty controlling their temper and are easily annoyed by others. They are often defiant and may appear angry and resentful. Their aggressive behaviors can disrupt lessons in school and hurt, intimidate and frighten other children.

MedicinesI. Saccharum officinale (album)II. Gallic acidIII. TuberculinumIV. Tarentula hispanicaV. LyssinumVI. AndroctonusVII. AbrotanumVIII. AbsinthiumIX. Veratrum albumX. StramoniumXI. BelladonnaXII. Agaricus

Page 21: JUST YOU THINK · 2020-02-26 · JUST YOU THINK... The Top Remedies for Various Disease Conditions (Volume I) From the vast practice of Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar Compiled by Dr. Gaurang

45

Aggressive/Destructive Children

I. Saccharum officinale (album)

One of the most useful remedies in today’s day and time for the destructive behavior in children is Saccharum officinale (Sac-alb). Made from cane sugar, this remedy acts as a nutrient and tonic in wasting disorders, anaemia, neurasthenia etc., increasing weight and power.

This patient is a mix between Pulsatilla (desire to be caressed, desire to sleep with parents) and Tuberculinum (restlessness and hyperactivity, biting, antics).

Noteworthy Symptoms:- Anti-psoric medicine that combats infection and putrefication- Children with apthae- Opacities of cornea- Peevish and anxious homesick- Wants snacks but no solid food- Want of interest; do not care to occupy themselves in anyway- Craves sweets, chocolate- Extreme restlessness and hyperactivity- Fat, bloated, large-limbed children, who are cross, peevish,

whining (like Cina); capricious; want dainty things, tid-bits, refuse substantial food

- Increased modesty of women (chastity)- Acidity and anal itching- Cold expectoration- Irritability when hungry (DDX Ammonium mur)

II. Gallic acid

This medicine is mainly used for pathological cases of tuberculosis, fibrosis and advanced lung pathologies with haemorrhagic diathesis.

This is one of the newer remedies that I use in practice with good results. It is a mixture of states between Stramonium (clinging and fears) and Tuberculinum (abusive and violent).

In this magnum opus, Dr. Sunirmal Sarkar along with Dr. Gaurang Gaikwad, who worked on this book for many years, compiled information of more than two hundred disease conditions along with a list of remedies that are commonly indicated in each condition.

This work is not going to replace the older and classical method of individualization and case analysis, but we wanted to form a Repertorial Materia Medica that can be used as a reference for various pathologies, from simple to complex.

This book was formed based on the study of Boericke’s Materia Medica, Clarke’s Dictionary Practical Materia Medica, Pulford’s Graphic Drug Pictures, NM Chaudhary’s studies, Hering’s Guiding Symptoms, Farrington’s Clinical Materia Medica and Hahnemann’s Materia Medica Pura. Repertories like Knerr’s Repertory, Kent’s Repertory and Boericke’s Repertory were also extensively examined. Old homeopathic journals including Hahnemanian Gleanings and North American Journal of Homeopathy were reviewed and an in-depth investigation of other writings of various masters like Burnetts, Lippe, R.T. Cooper, Grimmer, and Bernoville was conducted.

Many cured cases of Dr. Sarkar were assessed and reviewed as well as cases of various other Kolkata masters.

This book also will act to encourage the reader’s curiosity and broaden their minds. In each chapter, the reader will not only see common polychrest remedies, but also organ-specific remedies, Indian remedies, Bach flower remedies, allopathic remedies in potentised form, pathological remedies, etc. proving that there is an entire spectrum of remedies we can use and that we should not be limited in our view. As Dr. Sarkar says, we should just think out of the box. – Dr. Rajan Sankaran
