What We Must Not Do in Homeopathy

The book beautifully points out the fallacies of a haphazard prescription and firmly stresses on the understanding of the disease phenomenon and action of the remedy for a successful cure. Written in simple terms it emphasizes vital aspects of remedy selection, dosage, repetition and how to ascertain medicinal aggravation, importance of diagnosis in management and follow up. Finally, duration of action of medicine has been given which helps in second prescription. This book can easily fit into any standard homeopathic library.

Dr. Fortier Bernoville (1896-1939) was one of the famous homoeopaths of France. He was a Doctor of Medicine in French University. He was the author of 'Homoeopathiqe Treatment of the Giddiness & Region Dorsale'. Many of his publications are in French, later translated to English. His other famous works are- Limits & Possibilities of Homoeopathy in Biology & Mental Disease, Homoeopathic Treatment of Cancer, Diseases of the Respiratory and Digestive Systems of Children, Miasms Syphilis and Sycosis and many more.

"What We Must Not Do In Homoeopathy" is a translation of the article Ce qu'il ne faut pas faire en pratiquant Homoeopathie. Thirty doctors of France gave their answers to this referendum. I am giving here only the translation of Dr. Fortier Bernoville’s reply. This translation was first published serially in the "Journal of Homoeopathic Medicine" Nos. I, 2 & 3, 1960.

The second article "Drainage and Canalisation in Homoeopathic Therapeutics" is a translation of the article Application et valeur des principes du Drainage et de la Canalisation en therapeutique Homoeopathique by Dr. Fortier Bernoville, published in L'’ Homoeopathie Moderne, No. 19. This translation was first published in Hahnemannian Gleanings No.19.

Dr. Fortier Bernoville, during his life time was the Editor of the journal "L' Homoeopathie Moderne". He gave me the authorisation to translate and publish all the articles published in the said journal.

My aim in publishing this book is to give to the Homoeopaths of India something new in Homoeopathy that is widely practised by the Homoeopaths of France.

Something new in Homoeopathy is likely to face criticisms. But it is a fact that too much conservatism in medicine is a drawback for the development of medicine which is very aptly explained in these articles by Dr. Fortier Bernoville.
