I won't be surprised if you’re confused; it took me decades to sort out the classical method versus others. I began my training in classical homeopathy more than 38 years ago, and was lucky enough to have studied with the best. Feel free to check out who my teachers were in the “About Joette” section of my website.

I diligently (and I mean diligently) worked in the classical mode, both in full-time practice and in teaching, until about 15 years ago when my frustration level began to peak.

My hands were consistently tied. Nonetheless, I persevered, attended more classes in distant cities, studied more from the Organon, Kent, etc., and yet, there were too many cases that could not be touched.

Meanwhile, I studied with Dr. Ramakrishnan from India, who was an MD and classical homeopath who taught us his little professional tricks and practical strategies of using pathology-specific remedies, all the while apologizing for stepping outside of classical.

FINALLY! Someone honest enough to admit that we needed pathology-specific methods that produced reproducible results! How can we consider homeopathy a viable and scientific method if 5 homeopaths come up with 5 different remedies?

I began using his pathology-specific protocols, guiltily purchased Indian books of the same ilk, and saw better and consistent results. Then I was offered multiple fellowships from 2012-2017 for a total of more than 60 weeks of study in Kolkata, India. I observed and recorded as many as 100 cases per day.

There are 10 homeopaths in the clinic, and each sees 100 cases per day. That’s 6,000 cases per week, all recorded in a computer database that’s irrefutable! I believe it is the busiest medical clinic in the world, and it has been this way for 50 years. And although they are all medical doctors, they use homeopathy only.

But the Banerjis can trace their homeopathic lineage back 150 years.

Dr. Prasanta Banerji, was introduced to the science of homeopathy by his father, and his father by his uncle, and he by one of the original German missionaries, many of who were students of Hahnemann ( the father of homeopathy) and all classically trained homeopaths. Can you image the knowledge passed down from generation to generation?

Sadly Dr. Prasanta Banerji passed away in May of 2018, and his son Dr. Pratip Banerji passed this last January 2021.

The loss for the entire world is immeasurable.

Four generations of homeopathic knowledge, treating masses of patients, and generating databanks full of clinical results stored and classified via scientific data collection under international standards became the incubator that allowed the Banerjis to modify and distill 150 years of classical homeopathic practice into a “concrete treatment form bringing lucidity and user friendliness in homeopathy.”

Can any classical homeopath show consistent results and data that come close to these numbers? In classical, we’re lucky to be able to take 8 cases per day!
Remember: 5 homeopaths might still come up with 5 different remedies.

Several years ago in April, I presented my case for moving from classical to pathology-specific to the National Center of Homeopathy to a standing-room-only group of more than 500 attendees (mostly practitioners and students of the classical mode) and although I expected them to throw tomatoes at me, they were instead encouraged to learn there was a way other than classical that produced consistent results.

As a direct result of this, the Drs. Banerji were asked to present on this very subject.
