Interview in Vital Informer
Introduction:
'World Homeopathy Summit' (WHS), a scientific international conference devoted to recent advances in homeopathy, is happening for the first time in Mumbai, India on 11-12 April 2015. This unique conference will be organized by Global Homeopathy Foundation. Here is an interview with Dr Rajesh Shah, MD, Organising Secretary for the conference, discussing what the conference is all about.
Vital Informer: Dr Shah, please tell us something about World Homeopathy Summit (WHS). Why this conference?
Dr Rajesh Shah: Well, being a homeopathy researcher I've known that there is significant research in the field. Also, there is criticism about the lack of research. The homeopaths, other doctors, scientists, media and the common public are unaware of the latest research. There is a gap between the homeopaths and the researchers. As a result, homeopaths are not able to use the latest knowledge in their practice.
WHS is an effort to bridge this gap.
VI: Please tell us who will benefit from WHS?
Dr Shah: All those who are connected with homeopathy are going to be benefitted in a huge way. WHS will help senior and junior homeopaths, it will help students, teachers, principals, pharmaceuticals, management of colleges, etc. This will be a mega event for all. No one should miss this opportunity.
VI: What will be clinical benefits to the delegates? Would this WHS help the delegates to be better practitioners?
VI: Good question! The conference is expected to help immediately to the practitioners, by giving them reliable understanding of the scope of homeopathy for various difficult diseases such as Cancer, Eczema, various infections, HIV, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis C, Hemophilia, etc. More importantly, it will help practitioners boost their faith in the system as well as their self-confidence. It's likely to change the way you looked at homeopathy earlier!
VI: Can you tell about the speakers at WHS?
Dr Shah: Yes, there will be over 25 speakers from 8 countries including India. The speakers from Italy, Cuba, Brazil, France, USA, Holland, etc are university professors who are coming to India for the first time.
Very interestingly, scientists from some of the most prominent Indian institutions such as BARC, IIT-B, TIFR, Haffkine, Bose, ICMR, etc. who have conducted homeopathy research, will be sharing their findings. It's amazing. This will benefit homeopaths immensely.
VI: Please tell us who are the people behind WHS?
Dr Shah: WHS will be organized by Global Homeopathy Foundation, which is an NGO, non-commercial, non-political organization formed by a group of committed, senior homeopaths. They are Dr Eswara Das (New a Delhi), Dr SreevalsMenon (Cochin), Dr Jayesh Sanghvi (Chennai), Dr Kanan, Dr Sait (Cochin), Dr Praveen Kumar (Hyderabad) and myself (from Mumbai). We have decided to work for homeopathy upliftment. GHF collaboration with CCRH, HMAI, IHMA, IPRH for the conference. We do not compete with any organization, we would like to collaborate with all those who are working for homeopathy. Anyone can join us as an associate member.
VI: What will be the take-home message from the conference?
Dr Shah: The delegates will go home with revised faith in the science of homeopathy. Scientific evidence about the nature of homeopathic medicines, their proven efficacy through accepted scientific norms and also some probable mechanism of action will be updated in the conference.
The delegates will have a lifetime experience of learning directly from those scientists who have contributed in the growth of homeopathy.
It is my assurance that a day after the conference, you will attend your clinic with a totally revised perspective!
