Mah, what's up Doc?

The purpose of this page is to at least guide patients with enquiries when we cannot respond to them or cannot take their case; Also it serves as general information for those we do intake.

PHYSICIAN SELECTION CRITERIA

The following guidelines in selecting a local homeopath we list for cancer patients, but they apply also to anyone seeking help in the reversal of chronic disease: What to do for Cancer.

Do we take human cases online?

** Before we can take your case, please email Doc Quack with the password at the bottom to electronically sign that have read this page in full, understand things, and accept the liability release.

Yes and no. Now and then people write to us off the web seeking help with their various ailments.

On any case, our suggestion is usually to seek out the following medical care:

1) Retain an Alternative Medicine-friendly M.D. at all times. Look into "Integrative Medicine" doctors rated with an M.D. and an N.D. (Doctor of Natural Medicine). Call around to your local health food stores and naturopaths. Ask if they know any M.D.'s in the local area who are Alternative Medicine friendly.   If your M.D. is a N.D. or a classical homeopath...all the better.

It is unwise to eliminate the M.D., access to their pharmaceuticals, and access to costly labs. For example, where we worked to cure a Hep C case with liver damage, how do we know our methods are working against Hep C without a Viral Load Test?   Tests like that cost about $900. Insurance companies won't pay for it unless M.D. prescribed. The homeopathic perspective is that, if the symptoms are extinguished, we care not of the viral measure or disease name. However, we would have no scientific measure of our curative efforts if we abandon modern technology as an extension of our clinical senses.   Many serious viral conditions are asymptomatic and communicative for some time.

There are also times when classical homeopathy starts to take over the patient and their existing prescription drugs need to be trimmed back. We cannot legally do that. It would be irresponsible to even try at a distance.  Even if we put our M.D.'s to it, nobody sane would change a patient's medications on-line and without in-person consult. Never do we advise the removal of any prescription drug without an M.D. in consult.   Doing so too rapidly can be potentially lethal in blood pressure meds like Atenelol or in other cases like Insulin.

Further, while many homeopaths would tell you that the remedies do not contraindicate prescription drugs, we declare that is all drivel, lies, or b.s. based in poor education and experience.  In our experience so far, when we apply homeopathic remedies to patients, most often we'll boost the efficacy of any pharmaceuticals used -- both the primary action of the drug and also the destructive side effects. This allows patients to cut back on prescription drug use and that is very handy in opiate and withdrawl cases; Helpful in general.

In other cases, though a heretical approach to Classical Homeopathy, an Integrative Medicine approach at times allows the patient to see maximum cancer drug efficacy while minimizing side effects and amplifying cytotoxic power.   Some of the more difficult cancer forms -- Multiple Myeloma, for example -- do pretty well under radiation, non-embryonic stem cell transplant (BMT), and drug therapy in conjunction with herbs and also classical homeopathy.

It's a messy course to the curative objective and homeopathy mixed with only nutrition would be best, but the reality of the clinical situation is that most patients coming to a homeopath have already been through chemo, radiation, and ample drugging. The M.D. has damaged them and you need to keep a local M.D. in the picture to help reverse those damages.

There are many useful pharmaceutical drugs which shouldn't be so readily pooh poohed. Naturalists tend to hate them as "highly refined and chemically laced white powders" which lose and corrupt the power of the herb. All true, but homeopathy has always been the study of poisons, their traits, and their medicinal utilities. The very same pharmaceutical drug which does so much good and also damage can also be transformed or integrated into much more effective methods.

Yes, it is a whore's version of homeopathy to encourage that, but butcherous medical methods cleaned up to do less harm is at least a start. Politics and strategic affairs are all about ugly compromises at times. Pharmaceutical drugs do have their place in the medical tool box, but are just very sloppy in these backward times. We don't position as an enemy of Big Pharma, but try to make their drugs less destructive and more helpful.

The same applies to vaccines. Homeopathy is the mother of modern vaccines. Ancient China is the vaccine granny. Vaccines are a wonderful thing, but not in their present industrial form.  Modern vaccines are so horrible and destructive compared to their ancestors that there is ample room for improvement. It may be a whore's compromise to do so, but, if you can influence companies to put less Mercury in a vaccine; If you can influence dentists to transform to Mercury-free dentistry; If you can make a cancer drug with less birth defects and liver damage....all that is helpful to the patients, trendy, profitable to the industry, and at least cultivation of a win-win situation rather than perpetual fighting.

Compromises are dangerous, however.   Just look at how the first generation of homeopathy was destroyed in the United States through unification with allopathy.   It is important to also preserve our extremist classical homeopathy perspectives; for peace is truly Hell.

Though we prefer strictly homeopathy, we try to work with whatever the patient insists on doing at the time.  That is the #1 rule. The clinical reality is that the bulk of patients come to a homeopath already on prescription drugs, already with a primary M.D., and it's a very scary thing for them to just jump into a new system totally. You have to provide them with a buffer zone and warming up period.   Most leave Conventional Medicine because their M.D. is arrogant and/or incompetent, and so our first priority is to see that any case we take always has a good and open-minded M.D. to use as-needed.

This policy keeps us out of trouble. Keeps you safe and retaining all conventional medical options. It gives us better lab data and scientific assessment of our work. It makes for a better working relationship and total service package provided to our clients.

2) Next, either with that M.D./ homeopath or consult of another local homeopath (sometimes just a lay prescriber), we try to hook you up with someone at least fairly competent in Classical Homeopathy. You need somebody locally.   Remedies can take time to ship, but a local homeopath -- even if you don't like or use them -- often has what you need in lab inventory. Setting up some form of working relationship is beneficial to you and also expands our empire!

As far as "licensed" status for homeopaths go, there is no such thing in the United States at this time. There are several peer-review organizations which issue homeopathic credentials -- some more legitimate than others. In some cases, we find that lay prescribers are often more versed in advanced classical homeopathy than those run through the certification mills and M.D. crash courses. In the future, that should change a bit now that many of the college professors are seeking out higher education in technical methods missing since Dr. Hahnemann.  Overall, the best way for a patient to judge the quality of a homeopath is to start to become one himself.

All in all, taking chronic disease cases on-line is just no way to properly study a patient and our view is limited to the computer screen. Though we can help a lot and point people in the right directions or oversee the course of a case, it is still wise to have someone local to call upon.

What if we tell you about a remedy and it's a bad fit needing additional adjustment or immediate antidote?   What if your condition is worsening and you can't get hold of us? Many homeopaths will do it, but this idea of taking cases over the web, having you buy a local remedy or mail order for one, and then doing that all over again as subsequent remedies are applied will lead to disaster at some point.

While we can provide reference to outside classical homeopaths who do provide 24/7 emergency telephone consult at around $75 to $100, that still doesn't substitute for in-person consult. Unless you have a wide selection of remedies at home, the one you need might not be handy and might not be in stores, but chances are a local homeopath has it in his lab or something very near it. When you're suffering, can't reach us, and don't want to go to your M.D....you can always run to that local homeopath.

And so, we are happy when a new patient has us, their open-minded M.D. for urgent care, a local classical homeopath with remedies for urgent care, a local vitamin store down the road with remedies, a 24/7 homeopath hotline to call if needed, and preferably their own Materia Medica and home remedy kits in hand.   With all that, you're very well covered and able to adapt to the changing symptom situation over time.

In trying to ameliorate or cure anything, it's a very dynamic process. You hit the patient with medicine, stop, observe for remission or other changes, and hit them again.   Where remedies are not a perfect match (and no remedy ever is), subtle problems start to arise as you peel back layer upon layer of chronic disease pathology. The homeopath needs to be able to respond to that rapidly and preferably in-person.

Disease patterns move much more simply in animals, but people are complex disease pictures usually anchored by many mental symptom sets and medical history. What people type via email or say by phone is often not the truth and does not substitute for observation of the eyes, tongue, teeth, pulses, fingernails, toenails, ankles, body language, and the many unspoken communications to the physician.

Imagine how frustrating it would be to come to us for help with your cancer, be given some good help, see remission trend, and then one day you have some liver pains. The dishonest homeopath would tell you that such things are in no way related to their homeopathy and would take your money all the same. If you don't like it, they just stop helping you. Many like that are out there and we've heard some terrible horror stories.   It goes pretty much the same with horrible M.D.'s.

DISCLAIMER & LIABILITY RELEASE

Dr. Quack is not an M.D. He is not a D.V.M. In fact, he is not a certified homeopath in any form. Then again, there is no such thing as a "licensed" homeopath in the United States and certification criteria range from cheesy crash courses taught by idiots to some very good programs.

Dr. Quack is, however, a formal student of basic to advanced classical homeopathy under a master homeopath he considers about as close to the top homeopath in the world as they come. Dr. Quack's student status ranges anywhere from knowing very little in some areas compared to the average homeopath to knowing much more than most. It's a fuzzy path he walks. He is properly described as a "lay prescriber"; for it is not his intention to be a professional homeopath dependening upon the sickly in order to get by.

Dr. Quack's professional background mostly dwells in aviation (pilot & mechanic), aerospace & mechanical engineering, astronomy/astrophysics/ physics (all things related to Light/Time/Matter/ Energy are his true academic love), weapons science, strategic planning, technical intelligence, human intelligence, special investigations, politics, advisory, think tank visionary stuff & conspiracy, and construction/development. Today, he has set aside former warmonger ways, not as a pacifist or "Compassionate", but because he has always seen germ warfare as the country's greatest strategic threat.

That means the proper practice of Medicine is national security critical while the state of medical affairs in the U.S. is vastly incompetent for engaging pandemic threats of natural or man-made origin. Homeopathy has an excellent history of engaging and crushing plagues, and this is one of the technical visions he yaps about with people able to make a difference.

It is Dr. Quack's policy to never take money from people unless they give it to us as a donation - even then, only if we've done you much good; only if you think we saved your life or greatly helped better than anyone previously. The whole way through, we are merely operating as your "research assistants" and teachers. We do not give "medical advice". We don't "treat" patients. Rather, we just teach you what we know as you ask.

Thus, YOU are the tending physician and YOU are taking full liability for all things.  In calling upon us, YOU are fully understanding that there are always risks; That we deal in Experimental Medicine -- much of which is unproven still and a lot that remains theoretical; A lot that is also evidence-based in centuries and even thousands of years in physician experience.

We simply share information and YOU become the acting physician/ intern.   Thus, YOU need to hook up with a local mentor and other local mentors. YOU should join local homeopathic study groups so as to support each other and learn to treat yourself, friends, and family over time.

In our experiences so far, the patients with the best possibility of cure tend to be very proactive about their health (though they don't usually make the best case studies or patients for homeopathy). They dont want to die deep down. They seek all avenues of help. They read and study. They become their own physicians and only need a little navigation at times.

We're your tourguide, but not your physician. Most cured patients are their own physician and that's why they live. Nobody knows you better than you!

Now, in prescribing remedies, the truth is that, if we don't fully grasp upon and extinguish the whole symptom set with a perfect, single remedy fit (and none are perfect), that untouched aspect of disease energy in people almost always does arise with greater aggression.   Homeopathy does have  side effects! Anyone who says otherwise lies or is stupid. You'd smile that we squashed your spreading tumor growth in the lungs only to see previously subtle tumor metastasis arise in another vital organ or area. At that point, you attack again. As you squash that problem, another one arises.

Over time, the case complications should be less and less severe. If done right (especially by starting out in the lower potencies and avoiding high potency prescribing), those case complications should not move so rapidly that they cannot be corrected. But, they are always there!   The trick is to not let a case snowball outside of control and to extinguish side effects as they arise until finally there are none.

Really, the homeopath's way of symptom squashing and the M.D.'s way of prescribing for symptoms are very similar. We both have in common that, as we apply medicinal touches, we do further botch the patient and must tend to that situation as it comes while trying to do the least harm. The homeopathic way, however, is to touch the patient as little as possible with medicine and then to just back off -- letting the body carry out cure. We poke with medicinal actions of similars and await for the secondary action of the patient's vitality to rebound. Homeopathy is nothing more than a medicinal version of acupuncture with the exception that it can reach more deeply, with greater precision, and cure over a broader range of conditions.

The truth is also that finding competent local homeopaths for you is no easy task. There are what we call arrogant, "mediocre" homeopaths out there who hold fancy titles and diplomas from one quack school or another. They love to call themselves "doctor" and undue ego tends to govern their way, though they do some good here and there while never honestly disclosing their failures. A few triumphs here and there has them seeing themselves as god-like and all-knowing, but unwilling to look at themselves closely when failing. This is the sort of classical homeopath to be avoided at all times. There are also advanced classical homeopaths who practice by a much more powerful and gentle method, but, again, ego is most often their downfall per patient.

When seeking out any doctor from any system of medicine, the two most important traits are Honesty and Humility. The good physician of mediocre ways can always be taught (often with just a day's reading and self-study).  They will tell you what they know and don't know -- spending as much time as they can with you. The arrogant physician supposes he knows all there is to know -- often based in his extensive experience and education -- while really only knowing a small fraction of nothing much.

In arrogance, they stopped learning years prior. They will usually tend to blame something else or the patient before themselves, and so will not halt and correct their destructive actions early on.  Honesty with oneself and humility are all the more critical to the homeopath where we deal with medicines that heal or kill from just a single drop properly applied and where the power of those remedies always has the situation changing over time. When things are going wrong, the homeopath has to be able to honestly look at himself first as the most probable cause for patient worsening.

That's not what sheepish people want to hear nor what dishonest physicians wish to tell flat out, though. The physician is supposed to be god-like and all-knowing; all-perfect and most holy; Damn near omnipotent.   He's supposed to be like an invincible and decisive ship's captain who people lean upon to always know the right action to take. Saying "I don't know, but I'll find out," makes him at the level of human again, but it is the classic streak of the most competent mechanics, engineers, scientists, and physicians. Beware those who think they know; for they really know very little and are rarely competent to exercise their existing education. The truly educated man delights in being stumped. The truly experienced physician has no reservations honestly telling patients what he knows and doesn't. The job is to serve the patient above all, not to serve one's ego.

As for us, we learn daily out here which honestly means we are always making mistakes in people and animals. In livestock, sometimes we make intentional experimental blunders and do harm in order to verify that some principles and methods are truly unsound. In more important life, the true art is to ensure that your mistakes are never so great; To move forward in slow, gentle, and controlled fashion -- like spinning clay on a potter's wheel without botching the reshaping of human illness; To establish multiple safety nets and options for the patient; To move fast and accurate when needed, and to back off again to slow and steady when there is no hurry.

Dr. Quack's philosophy is to always hold the flexible, Aikido-like center; To always position your Chess pieces near the center of the board to maximize their motions. At times, Dr. Quack leans on conventional medicine, other times naturopathy, often Oriental Medicine perspectives, and generally classical homeopathy. Whatever will work in establishing improvement trend and is most suitable per patient. Some patients are alo entirely unsuitable for any form of medicine.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE TAKE YOUR CASE?

1) We listen and take notes. At some point, we like to schedule a brief telephone appointment to talk more freely, authenticate you, answer questions, socialize, and clear up any email confusion. Email is too inhuman. We also like to receive personal pictures of patients so that you are not just a case file to us.

2) We build a case file for you that can be taken anywhere.

3) We go about selecting a "theoretical" remedy strategy for you as if a regular patient and we tell you what we think would be the best course while pointing you to suitable physicians or teaching you what to look for in one.

4) From there, we retain oversight of your case file and watch how the local doctor is doing with you. If they're the kind of doctors we suggest, they have no problem keeping in touch with us and swapping notes. Mostly, the patient keeps in touch with us. We try not to step on classical homeopath and M.D. toes if they're working your case, but we pass them information from our own studies and learn from their own perspectives. Sometimes, they'll prescribe for you and we'll just watch. Other times, we'll prescribe and they'll supervise. The triangle formed is a potentially delicate one, and so it is all the more critical to find honest and humble physicians more interested in your care and chosen options than those who serve themselves.

Our function is not to be your acting physician, but to be more of a library that your chosen physician draws upon in regard to homeopathic help and where you can also seek assistance when needed. If YOU medicate and kill yourself based upon our chatter, that's your own doing. We warned you in advance. You accepted those terms in talking to us. We are not your physicians, but simply a research source. All information given or "theoretical" cases taken are meant to be discussed with your chosen doctor before you take any such remedies we tell you about.

If you choose to self-medicate with no physician or local homeopath consult, at our end, we shall always presume you have followed our advice and only self-experiment under local physician supervision. We keep that policy because laws vary from state to state and we are in full compliance with California law. The best way for us to keep within compliance with whatever laws exist in your state is to serve mostly in academic consult to your chosen physicians and as your homeopathic research assistants.

CASE INTAKE FORMS

The following forms provide us with some medical background regarding your case. Just print them out or edit them onscreen and email or fax to us. From there, we have other forms and questions to ask before refining a remedy strategy. All personal information we keep in classified archives. All your case data and emails we mask over with an alias and use for teaching or future publications -- retaining copyright.

Medical History Form 1 Disregard insurance and billing personal information. We don't need to know your policy number or SSN. We do want to know if you have private coverage, an open PPO, Medicare, nothing, etc.-- as that information impacts your ability to seek out suitable doctors. We also want to know about your financial and familial stress factors which may be impacting mental and physical health. Nothing too detailed, but you can see how we put that all together into the "Susan J" case file and others. If you just lost your job and are about to lose your house, that taxes the mind. It gives us a clue as to whether your recent Anxiety and GI tract symptoms are chronic and internal (more serious) or of external cause (acute and temporary). Makes a big difference in remedy and potency selection.

Medical History Form 2

Medical History Form 3

Online Remedy Finder Form This form takes about 30 minutes to complete for a very detailed chronic illness case; About 10 minutes for less complex cases. Run through it completely and check off all subsequent question boxes. At the end, the computer selects a remedy for you but disregard this. Computers are never to be trusted to think for us, but the grid remedy chart is a very handy tool. Select at the bottom the "View Grid Remedy" option. You'll see a chart of remedies and how they apply to your symptoms. Down at the bottom, you'll find a Save results option which allows you to email the form. Email it to yourself and then forward to Doc Quack. Though lengthy, all these forms help to extract a more complete disease picture per patient. By filling out this Online Remedy Finder, you trim out the bulk of interview labor for us so that we can spend more time thinking in key areas.

CLINIC FEES

At this time, there are no fees for human cases helped, but we only take cases known in-person. We provide this page as a general information area for existing patients and others on-line.

AVAILABILITY

Please remember our ability to serve patients is limited at this time due to being spread among a variety of R&D areas. A billing policy like this tends to keep us with a steady flow of business. The more we help people or their pets, the more they tell others about us. A waiting list can grow pretty rapidly.

For those of you we cannot directly serve, this site contains ample information to guide you in seeking out suitable local physicians and other homeopaths, and you can always check in with us later.

Make sure you study the suggested outline in the "What to do for Cancer" link.
