The first practice that I visited was Dr. Ramakrishnan. Dr. Ramakrishnan has been a close friend and has been very helpful with my homeopathic evolution. He has made several visits to my practice in Pittsburgh to study problem eye cases. He has been very kind to hold two seminars in Pittsburgh: the first on cancer and the second on diabetes.
Dr. Ramakrishnan is noted for his work with cancer patients. His approach to cancer is very aggressive often utilizing two remedies: the constitutional and a lesional remedy specific for the cancer. He has also developed a plussing technique and believes in frequent repetition. He uses a 200C potency of a remedy for plussing. (Frequently in cancer cases it is either Carc. or Scir. ) Three pills of 200C are placed in 11 teaspoons of water. The patient is instructed to take one teaspoon every 15 minutes, stirring gently between each dose. In this method of plussing and second dose is infinitesimally stronger than the first dose. One teaspoon is left in the glass for the next day. The following day 10 more teaspoons of water are added and again the patient takes 1 teaspoon every 15 minutes leaving one teaspoon in the glass. This is repeated every day for one week. This constitutional remedy is alternated with a lesional remedy for one week. The lesional remedy is also taken in the plussing manner. He has done this alternation for as long as three months. He believes with cancer there is no time to give one dose and wait, “Cancer is a race against time”. Dr. Ramakrishnan has documented a better response using this method in the treatment of over 3,000 cancer patients. He teaches that there is a constitution of the person and also a constitution of the tumor; “You must look at both to affect a cure”.
Dr. Ramakrishnan has considerable experience in treating eye problems homeopathically. He has used Senecula in cases of macular degeneration with the symptom of wavy vision. He also has reported success using Vanadium 200C q month. In glaucoma, because many of these cases are one sidedand when there is no clear remedy in the case he utilizes one of the following: Apis, if there is glaucoma and the patient is thirstless; Physostigma, if there is a family history of glaucoma and Glonoinum, if there is glaucoma and hypertension or renal disease. His recommended treatment is 200C every 15 days for two months. He will often alternate with the constitutional remedy if it becomes evident.
His day begins at 5:00 AM when he reviews correspondence from his patients who are located all over the world. Most of this is done by fax and email. He begins his office examinations at 7:30 AM and often works until 9:00 PM. New patient visits are scheduled every 30 minutes and follow ups 10 to 15 minutes.
