“To understand an individual, it is not enough to understand only him. We have to understand his family and the society he lives in. It is essential to look at the uniqueness of an individual only by understanding the conflict between him and his family, the conflict between him and the society he lives in, and based on the changes that happened in his state of mind resulting from such conflicts.”
– John Scholten
Dutch homoeopathic scientist John Scholten was the first to study the relationship between the elements and human life based on the atomic number of the elements. He saw medicines as the mother, father, children, brothers and sisters, friends, workers, artists, scholars, leaders and all aspects of society. Realizing that Scholten’s homeopathic view is essential for every physician, Mr. Vellaichamy has captured its essence in his booklet ‘Scholten’s Minerals’. Mr. Pazha Vellaichamy makes it clear to us through his thirty years of medical experience that a homeopathic physician must study man and society very deeply. According to him, one cannot be a good homoeopath without good social knowledge.
Homoeopathic Master Pazha Vellaichamy (PLV) was born in a small village called Sembanur in Karaikudi Taluk. Even as a youth, he was interested in working with the people’s movement. He joined the Communist Party of India (CPI) at the age of 17 and continues to be part of it to date. As an active communist, he was involved in various struggles and was imprisoned for 7 months in 1976. A decade later, as a result of his search for permanent and humane, curative solutions to people’s problems, he arrived at homoeopathy.
He soon discovered that homeopathy was not just a method of medical treatment, but a law of nature and a solution to the struggles of life faced by humans. In 1990, he, along with some friends, started an organization called ‘APROACH’ (Pure Homeopathy Propagation Society) for Homeopathy.
Crossing 30 years, this organization has been providing equal service to all classes of people with free homoeopathic treatment every Sunday in many regions of Tamil Nadu. The organizers recently distributed anti-inflammatory drugs to the villagers to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Mr. Vellaichamy is also the General Secretary of the Federation of Homeopathic Societies.
Mr. Vellaichamy has written many books on homoeopathic and humanitarian thought in English and Tamil, including Love is God’s Code, Humanity, A Brief Introduction to Homoeopathy, Why Learn Homeopathy?, Study of Tragedy as shown by Hahnemann, Role of Mental Symbols in Homeopathic Medicine Selection, Minerals in Scholten’s View, Homeopathy An Introduction, Homoeopathic Repertory An Introduction, Homeopathy 50 Millesimal Potency, Homeopathic Philosophy Explained in Organon Way, Miraculous Cures in Organon Way and so on.
Mr. Vellaichamy is one of the five or six prominent figures that Nammalvar mentions as his Master’s on every platform When he was suffering from illness, Mr. Vellaichamy was the first person that Nammalvar Ayya sought for treatment. Instead of stopping at professing Marxism as a mere ideology, he dedicated his life to it and the personalities he created from his role as a teacher are serving as doctors and as living proofs, in different parts of Tamil Nadu. Also, today if any village boy or girl from any small village of Tamil Nadu, decides to study ‘Homeopathy’, the most natural choice they will reach out to is ‘PLV Appa’ named ‘Maruthuvar Pazha Vellaichamy’.
On 15.05.20, at 5:00 PM, in Cuckoo Conversations Live Online Chat, Homeopathic Master Mr. Vellaichamy participated and shared his life experiences and profound observations in the field with us. He explained naturopathy through its scientific truths and emphasized that humanity should always be the core aim of medical treatment. His insightful dialogue inspired courage and clarity, encouraging many to make informed and self-empowered decisions.
