Homeopathy  Myth Or Medicine : A Clinical Study 
Prescribing drugs in conventional medicine is not uniformly  governed by any law .Once the disease is diagnosed ,the drugs are prescribed on physiological basis , chemical antidoting , analogy and even emprically .The drugs are aimed at killing pathogens and individual symptoms. The primary focus  is disease and not the individual who is sick , so most of the drugs are designed to work on poplution lavel rather than the individual.Researchers with this background and mind set conduct trials to study Homeopathic drugs .
Prior to undertaking any work in Homeopathy one must first understand Homeopathic concept of health , disease , and cure .Hahnemann postulated that mind , body and life are integrated in the oganisim .Vital force endows the body with sensation,function ,self repair and preservation of health .This harmonious  state is health.Disease per see is nothing more than alteration in the state of health caused by dynamic action of inimical forces up on the vital force of living organisim , making it self known only by perceptible signs and symptoms , the totality  of which constitute disease .Homeopathic cure is restoring health through means that are mild, orderly ,and gentle like the vital force it self , turning internal of the individual in the order with fixed principal and homeopathic remedy .
Therapeutically  oriented  ( not diagnostically ) Homeopathy follows these fixed laws :-
1. Law of similar and single -A drug which can cure is capable of producing symptoms similar to those which it cured in  healthy individual.This similar drug is made more powerfull through potentiation which involve serial  dilution and succession.
2.Law of self healing -the symptoms of illness  ,represent an attempt by natural healing power of the patient (vital force ) to restore health , which must be reenforced  with a  similar , single but more powerfull drug.
3.Law of individuality - Every organism is unique by reason of his individuality , hence his reaction to sick making causes also very , though suffering from same disease from nosological order.
Controlled clinical trials are means of studying the effects of drugs on diseases by random selection of cases based on assumption that any given disease shows the same characteristic features in different individual and therefore can be treated in the same way .It means one drug hits all.Contrary  to it Homeopaty treats individual with a remedy the  symptomatology of which corresponds , to that of patient , so one drug will not suit all.In a trial for mastitis all animals are given either Phytolacca Decandra , Silicea or Byonia Alba or a combination of all the  three in a designated potency.Ideally each case should be studied individually and a similiar ,matching drug should be used  ,because each of these drugs produce their own unique sumptoms on mamary gland.Further even a similar drug may fail in 30/200/1m potency but may  cure in 10 m potency in a single dose or may need repetition at appropriate interval to complete the cure .
Medicine is not an exact science .In it clincal result are paramount and not the statisticaly analysed results of clinical trials . Clinical research by observation rather than planed experiment is the only way to test the efficacy of Homeopathy on animal diseases.
Clinical Testimony Of Homeopathy : Material And Method 
47 cases (34 cows + 13 buffaloes ) with udder infection were reported in my clinic during July 09,from  13 dairy units  located at different places .On the basis of individual symptoms and indicated remedy they can be grouped as below :-
1. 15 cases  (13 cows +2 buffaloes ) had sudden swelling in  one quarter ,redish , hot and hard on palpation ,limping in the adjcent limb , thin watery flacky milk , fever and off feed.Belladona was indicated  and a single dose of high potency was given.14 cases were  reported cured average time was 7 days.One cow showed no improvement withwn 48 hours and the same medicine was repeated in the next potency resulting in complete cure withen 10 days. 
2.9 animals ( 5 cows + 4 buffaloes ) developed swelling  mostly in right quarter with pain ,thick yellowish viscid milk after getting wet in rain.Feed intake was normal .Similar remedy Phytolacca was given in high potency , single dose.All were cured average time 10 days.    
3.12 animals(8 cows + 4  buffaloes )  had fibrosed left quarter with thin watery flaky milk , appetite normal .No response to usual 5 days  antiboitc treatment.First abuse of drugs was antidoted with nux vomica on first day and indicated remedy silicea single dose in high potency was given on next day .Udder became non fibrosed with normal milk, average time 10 days.   
4.8 cases (2 cows + 6 buffaloes ) had bloody milk with blood clots ,in one quarter with swelling in teat , no pain, no history of injurey.
Chamomilla was selected and a single dose in medium range potency was given .All had normal milk on third day . 
5.3 animals (buffaloes ) had laceration on udder with swelling , pain and bloody milk after sustaining injurry .Arnica well known for soft tissue trauma with extravasation was given ,single dose in high potency .Swelling , pain , subsided with normal milk in three days .
Dissussion 
The presence or absence  of drug in doses , it's pharmacological action , it's statisticaly significant cure rate perplexing  the scientific community , does not bother  common man as owner of sick animal. What matters to him is the curre of his sick animal, espically when he pays for it ( clinic are not run on research grants ).What better proof one needs than the enormous  trust Homeopathy enjoys with common man globally ! All skeptics are invited to my clinic , to observe how Homeopathy cures sick animals , including diseases as  not yet clssified in terms of aetiology and prescribed treatment .
