Homoeopaths’ sweet success

        NEW DELHI JAN 29: This is the period for IT/ITES, medical tourism, animation and now, homeopathy India was never so shining, so global. And experts predict that in the next 5-10 years, India will also become the hub for clinical research in homeopathy. As for China, it doesn’t stand a chance here, say experts.

       For the new homeopath, the world is a stage. Diwan Harish Chand, Former Vice president of CCH and former president of the International Homeopathy Medical League, has traveled to 70 countries; his patients come from as far and wide as the US, Canada, Kenya, Singapore, Australia, Germany, West Asia and Pakistan.

        “India can be the Mecca of Homeopathy with huge number of practitioners estimated at 0.3 million,” he says. Kolkata’s Parimal Banerjee too is a visiting physician for his 20,000 global patients. Of them, about 4,000 are from the US. “Over Rs 1 lakh worth of medicines are sent abroad from my lab every month,” he says. The demand is so high that 25 doctors attend to health-related queries on computers at his clinic. The growing faith in homeopathy worldwide is evidenced by a phone call that Delhi-based doctor Kalyan Banerjee received from China. Last year, he was invited by a 59-year-old terminally ill cancer patient to Beijing after surgery proved futile.

        The rates are nominal. Some charge a flat consultation rate of Rs 1,000 for SAARC countries and Rs 2,000 for others. Meanwhile, teams from Russia, US, France and Italy have evinced interest in clinical research, especially for cancer and various viruses.Already 37 centres in India are carrying out research. There’s also interest in using homeopathy for animals,” says Chand.

       India also has the largest homeopathic infrastructure: institutions as well as drug manufacturing centres. And these can be effectively utilised globally, says, R K Manchanda, deputy director, homeopathy, Delhi government.
