Banerji Protocol

​
I had a very classical training in homeopathy. The kind of 'only one remedy is allowed', ‘wait to repeat the remedy’ and ‘prescribe only on the totality’ training. So, when I first read of the Banerji Protocols years ago, they did not make much sense to me. Prescribing remedies for illnesses, fixed remedies?
 
I have never questioned if this was homeopathy or not as the remedies prescribed where homeopathic remedies. But the system did not make much sense in classical homeopathic terms, so I did not look into it any further.
 
As the years went by, I became more aware that my training was falling short for the complex cases that my clinic presented. These were not cases of a simple cold or teething issue, or cases where the acute or chronic grief was the main feature of the case.

My patients presented me with complex pathology most often several ones entwined in the case and with symptoms that needed attention there and then. Treating the children that were coming to my practice became very laborious as those children were not responding to the miasmatic remedies or constitutional remedies as I was expecting. 

​Those remedies would only stir the vital force to throw out symptoms of the central disturbance making it uncomfortable for the patient and myself to navigate through their cases. 
​
At that point, I realised that something was missing in my practice and I became aware that by using different methodologies, success rates sharply increased. As I started to incorporate those, I became curious about the Banerji Protocols and started to study them. I introduced them into my practice, and they became my most successful tool and they often exceeded my expectations.

It had become clear to me that this was a very powerful system and it was far from two remedies together for a given disease. Those remedies were successfully treating illnesses with no aggravations. Although at the beginning I did not understand it's meaning, and I was simply applying them as per instructed by the Banerjies, in time I began to understand a bit more about how they worked and why they worked.
 
The protocols became less of a focus and it was becoming obvious that this methodology was focusing on remedies that targeted systems of the body.

The same remedy was repeated for different protocols that had similar disease processes, so, for instance, they would use Hepar 6c as an antibacterial agent for soft tissue infections or Thuja 30 for diseases of the urinary system.

​In the same way, Hepar 6c was used for the lymphatic system, Nit-ac 3c as a specific for mucosal tissue [1] or Merc Sol 200 for changes in the microflora. So when you look at the remedies and their affinities you begin to understand a bit more why the remedies in a protocol are put together, for instance, you will find Mer Sol as a part of the Oral Candidiasis Protocol and also in the Colitis Protocol.
​
​The "protocols" can be seen in a different light when interpreted in that way, they are very cleverly put together with a lot of knowledge of the Materia Medica. And above all, the protocols are used on hundreds of patients per day, surpassing the method as simply a theory, as evidenced in the Banerjies incredible success rates.
 
At this point, my mind was bursting with questions as to why the protocols worked in the way they did as they do not obey the cardinal principles of homeopathy.  I began to question my training and what we were taught about homeopathy.

If what we know to be the tenets of homeopathy are to be the working pillars of our profession, the Banerji Protocols should not work, however in my experience, they are the strongest and most predictable tool in my practice.
 
Treating disease with specific homeopathic remedies goes totally against the individualised process in homeopathy but, could it be possible that the protocols were another way of entering the vital force of the patient by addressing the symptoms that the patient was presenting?

Could they act as constitutionals in some way? This sounded plausible to me and offered a solution to unfold the mechanism of action behind the Banerji Protocols. 
​
Some philosophical aspects, the Banerji Protocols

​​In my personal opinion and experience, the Banerji protocols address all miasmatic, fundamental and lesional layers as well as "constitutional" or the also called totality prescription in the majority of the cases.

In my clinic, I do not have the opportunity and privilege to see the hundreds of cases that pass through the Banerji Clinics, what I do have, is time to sit down with my patients and take a full case. When I prescribe a Banerji Protocol, I do the opposite to them, I analyse the protocol against the case of the patient- I deconstruct the case.

I know what protocol I am going to prescribe, and I ask questions that are central to understanding those remedies on a totality level. I study the case to try to see if there is any resonance between the protocols and their life history.  To my amazement, the remedies prescribed in the protocols most often match either the causation, mental picture or miasmatic susceptibility in the case.
 
Of course, the Banerjies provide 3 lines of remedies and also, they recommend treating other symptoms as needed. So, some of those lines will be more relevant to the case of the patient than others and more often this would be the curative protocol in that particular case.

Also, important to mention that in a given case, often the patient requires more than one protocol, as you will be treating several ill-health problems at the same time so patients often will be on a couple of protocols or more.

This is paramount in understanding the depth at which the Banerjies work, as they are treating different layers parallel to each other in the same case. Thanks to this, the case progresses much faster than with other methods.
 
In some cases, the protocols are based on acute and chronic remedies for instance in the Colitis Protocol as in the second line remedies the protocol consist of Aurum 200 and Merc Sol 200, Aurum being the chronic of Mercurious [1].

In other cases, the remedies in the protocols are complementary to each other such as in Diseases of the Kidneys Protocol where Bryonia and Lycopodium are complementary remedies [1].

​This is not to say that all protocols are set in this way, but it is very interesting to see that there is a lot of sense to why those protocols would work. Different lines tackle different angles of the case and it seems that this is relevant to why more than one line is needed to produce the maximum success rates they accomplished when dealing with a disease. 
​ 

For instance, if we look at the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Protocol [1], we notice that the first line is Tuberculinum 200 and Nux Vomica 30 and the second line is Ignatia 200 and Cheledonium 30 + Merc 200. The first line will be addressing a miasmatic susceptibility, a digestive and liver cleanser organ support and an antispasmodic with an -stress out- aetiology.

The second line will be focusing on a different area, which centres around grief and anxiety, a state of emotional instability as the main causation for both remedies. Furthermore, Ignatia main affinity is the nervous system and it is another great antispasmodic remedy and Merc+ Chel is used as liver support and a highly inflammatory remedy to combat any imbalance of the internal mucous membranes in the bowels. 

The combination of each line works in harmony because the remedies complement each other, one working on a chronic deep level and the other one on a lesional level relieving symptoms but at the same time, complementing the action of the other one.
 
In this way, the protocols are very cleverly put together from a homeopathic perspective- lesional and constitutional- and as a result, the aggravations of the medicines are checked as both aspects of the case are taken care of at the same time.

​This together with a faster repetition where the action of the previous dose is checked with the next dose make the Banerji Protocols the gentlest of all methodologies in homeopathy. Altogether a very impressive methodology that stands the test of time going back to 150 years and it is strongly supported by the incredible amount of cases and analysis on their database. Something unheard of with any other methodology for the inability to replicate the same results due to individualisation on each case.
​
​So how do the Banerji Protocols relate to homeopathy? The Banerjies themselves state that they do not follow the cardinal principles of homeopathy [1].

But are the Cardinal Principles of homeopathy correct as we know them?  Or are they part of a reality that we have constructed with the limited understanding that we have about homeopathy.

The principles of energy in which homeopathy is based are changing and evolving as we speak, and something that Quantum theory suggests is that reality is not objective. This leads us to question the connection between thought and reality [2]. Maybe the concept of Vital Force is constructed with our limited understanding of life and described within the framework of the limitations of our language. This makes it difficult to further understand homeopathy as a whole.
 
But in the same way that the present theories of relativity and quantum physics present some incompatibility, methodologies in homeopathy present the same problem.

Relativity theory looks at the big cosmic picture and quantum physics looks at the very small subatomic picture, both theories seem to be producing incompatible results.

In homeopathy, the Banerji Protocols look at the small picture and more classical approaches look at a much larger picture suggesting they are completely different from one another. But just as in physics we know that both theories form part of the bigger picture, even if we cannot understand it right now, the Banerji Protocols are an integral part of understanding homeopathy, just as any other methodology.
 
Probably the Banerji Protocols do not follow the theory of Chronic miasms or Vital Force because the definition of those terms is incorrect.

Homeopathic remedies are based on energy and the Banerji Protocols tap into that energy, no doubt about it.

​The Banerji Protocols are homeopathic, for sure. If there is something to learn from them is the fact that they teach us something about the nature of homeopathy; somehow it seems to be simpler than we make it be. It is more predictable than we have expected and maybe, we are just making it too complex ourselves. 
​If the Banerji Protocols can address disease, this means that humanity has some common grounds where we all fall in, there may be some individualised aspects but there are some common ones as well for all of us.

For instance, this can be seen with the homeopathic trio of remedies and acute chronic relationships, they are predictable, we know that one follows another one well.
 
Let's look at the famous trio; Sulphur, Calcarea, Lycopodium.  We know that a constitutional Sulphur is likely to follow with Lycopodium and Calcarea at some time along with their life. The Calcarea child turns into a Sulphur teenager and very likely he will need a few doses of Lycopodium along with their life.
 
In our clinic, from a more classical perspective: we may see it as the easy-going, plodding-along toddler that has now grown into a young man that during his academic education is likely to feel that a teacher undermines his knowledge in the class in front of his friends, he feels challenged and as a result, he may start to develop gastric issues with digestive problems. Later to be diagnosed with dyspepsia and a gastric ulcer.
 
In here we see the clear picture of the famous trio emerging and a prescription would be very clear at this point, Lycopodium would be one of the clearly indicated remedies at this stage. However, the Banerjies, are able to access this aspect of the case from another perspective, pathology.

This pathology responds well to their first protocol for dyspepsia and gastric ulcer: Arsenicum album 3c and Lycopodium 200. Here, the Banerjies do not know the full story behind that prescription and they do not need to, because they are tapping into that energy from a sideway, looking at the symptoms of that pathology and the body system affected.

Their methodology is disease based.
​
Some philosophical aspects, the Banerji Protocols
The pathology of a patient creates symptoms and those symptoms, are the pointers to our homeopathic remedies. Most diseases target the same organs or tissues and tend to produce similar symptoms. That is why Banerji Protocols have 80% success rates, because the symptoms fit the diseases well.

On the other hand, looking at constitutional remedies, we can also predict what remedies patients are more likely to need at some point in their life, depending on the life situations that they encounter and how they affected them. There is a cause and effect relationship and either side, tells us the same story, whether we understand it or not.
 
David Bohn talks about an undivided wholeness were both quantum theory and relativity are compatible [2]. He explains this by understanding it from a new order and measure. This undivided wholeness in only fragmented by us, we can only see a small aspect of it which makes us think that they are unrelated.

He uses the analogy of a hologram, and in fact, this is a great analogy to understand what is happening when taking a case in homeopathy or analysing it with different methodologies. We can only see a fragmented reality as only a small side will be highlighted during the consultation but that side, forms part of an undivided wholeness, regardless if it is analysed by the physical world, emotional, spiritual or a mixture of all.

It all forms part of the same reality and somehow, they are all connected; the Banerji Protocols allow us to understand a tiny fraction more of that wholeness, and we should not take it for granted.
​
​
We boost our own ego by believing that only we can understand the disease process in every single patient that passes through our clinic, but in reality, the Banerjies show us that most people will fall into certain categories, labelled diseases. 

In reality, this is not so different from the concept of miasms where certain symptoms are allocated to a certain miasm. The problem with the theory of miasms is that it is theoretical. The Banerjies have gone further and tested against a population and give us results providing empirical proof that the Banerji Protocols do work. 

Understanding a bit more about the Banerji Protocols will only help us to understand homeopathy a bit better and in turn, to be able to help our patients faster. They provide us with a small window to the inner workings of something that although present, we cannot comprehend - energy principles and workings.

While attempting homeopathy I have found it a case of mathematical modelling. It is an analysis by permutation and combination of symptoms and potencies. There are a number of ways about how to attempt it.. As long as one is not crossing the aphorisms the path is correct. There is a lot of scope for thinkers. It is a system for genius ones.

Thank you for your perspective on why you think the Banerji Protocols work! I really appreciated your explanation!

Since you have experience with prescribing the Banerji Protocols, I am wondering what your thought is on the importance of using a liquid remedy when a protocol specifies using a liquid remedy. And the WHY behind it.

Reply
Cristina
3/3/2020 06:47:29 am

Yes, because liquid remedies tend to work a bit faster and gentler. They cover more of the mucus membranes as they enter the mouth (at least, this is the physical explanation that we can think of!)

Very insightful article. It decodes the basis on which the banerjies have prescribed fixed sets of remedies in their book on the bases of labelled diseases.Their own explanation is that it is based on their experience of countless cases. Long back, 30 years ago, I suffered from sinusitis & the remedy prescribed by a classical homeopath didn't help me at all. Over a period of time it healed on it's own. But my sinuses get affected whenever I get even a mild cold with violent sneezing. . Just last week, with corona scare, when i felt the cold about to start with burning sensation, I looked into their "Emergency medicines" on their website & saw the prescription "sanguinaria can" if the sinuses are affected. I mixed bryonia 200c & sanguinaria can 200c & took the drops on the tongue. It worked like a charm. There was instant relief! I took 3 more doses on the following day too. Amazing result. Now I know what works for sinusitis. By the way, the emergency medicines list is found only on their website, NOT in their book.

HI, Great article thankyou.
I am not a qualified homeopathy but I study it and use it on myself and all my aniamals. I considered studying it but saw a shortfall in classical homeopathy and feel that some homeopaths are so entrenched in their ways they wont allow this science to develop further.
Thankfully I found the Banerji Protocols and I have the Banerji books.
I always mix the remedies with water for my aniamls and birds and have had some amazing results by just giving one drop in the morning and evening for 2-3 days.
With sick birds I give Aresen Alb, Hepar Sulph, Hypericum, Nux Vom, Cina, all at once. It has got many pigeons and a cat better in a matter of days.

Last year my father died, he had Pulmonary Fibrosis (scar tissue in the lungs.) We finally got him to try homeopathy, probably too late. THe Banerji's prescribed Hepar Sulphur, Chelidonium Majus, Kali Iodatum, Lachesis Mutus.

I spoke with my firend who is a very good medium and she was shown that this combination was forming new cell growth. This I found fascinating.
So clearly the Banerji's are on to something and are moving homeopathy forward in the right direction.

I do believe that the potencies have effects on lauyers. I got a pigeon better form a virus after 9 months. I finally found that camphor stopped her tetanic spasms that the virus was causing. I gave Camphor 200 and it worked. It was purely by fluke as I gave it to clear the slate as I had tried so much on her to get her better and nothing held
After 2 weeks she was so much better, then the progress stopped. I did some research and gave her Camphor 1M, I happened to have it in. She just got better and better after that and finally flew off from my aviary. I have never seen her so well and she had not flown in 9 months. She never returned!
So I think there is work to be done on the potencies and when to use them, and what action they have and when to go higher or lower.
So fascinating.
Thankyou.
Clare
Its a very intersting science.

after taking the 1st line of the Banerji protocols for about 2 months and there is no change in symptoms, can one stop the 1st line of medicines at once and begin the 2nd line of medicines or, does one need to slowly decrease the 1st line of medicines, before beginning the 2nd line?

Hi Cristina,

Thank you so much for this article.

Can one come back to first line from second line?

For e.g. my classical homeopath prescribed me Kali bi for my sinus:

Kali bi is working but not 100%, I was having ropy mucus from throat and nose while taking the remedy.

I came across the first line i.e. Sanguinaria. The result was better than Kali bi i.e. no more PND and mucus from the nose, but I am observing minor provings like rawness and dryness in the throat and hoarseness. With the repeated doses will these provings go away?

While I was taking Kali bi, the mucus was ropy from the nose, throat,and with Sanguinaria it is different but very little due to the dryness.

Thank you.

Awesome article. So helpful and gives me a sense of confidence about their approach.

I was actually thinking a while back about the different approaches in classical and modern homeopathic remedies. In a quantum sense of how our thoughts and beliefs affect our physical world and, in turn, how our world then interacts with and affects us, I thought perhaps some of the more restrictive rules of classical homeopathy may have been more matched to the lifestyles and beliefs of the 1800s. We are living so differently now, and perhaps some of the shifts we are seeing (e.g., homeopaths noting that in their experience, the remedies are *not* affected by factors like sunlight, brushing teeth with mint flavor after taking them, etc.) are more consistent with our current beliefs and desires for easier lifestyles and treatment options. It's a fascinating subject.

I was curious about your experience with the development of "tolerance" to remedies. I've read in classical homeopathy that sometimes people will do well for several doses of a given potency, but then the effect of that remedy will start to wear off for them, requiring a higher (and perhaps progressively higher and higher) potency. Did you notice this when you were practicing classical homeopathy, and do you see it with the Banerji protocols, or does their frequent repetition of dosing seem to get around that potential issue?

Reply
Cristina
5/20/2021 08:37:16 am

You are right! things have changed since 200 years ago and everything evolves, even homeopathy and our understanding of it.
Yes, that is correct about " the energy burning the remedy" and then something different is needed- but it can be a hight potency or a change of remedy. But this is only one way of working, the Banerjies use a different technique where they change remedies rather than going up in potency. This is not something new, Burnett used to do that too because it gave him much better results without overwhelming the system. That is called rotation of remedies and to answer your question, yes this type of methodology gets around that issue.

Hello, I would like to know please, if with Banerji protocols you always need to start with first line of remedies even if it looks like the second or third line would be a better match? I have a child with Asperger’s Syndrome and the Banerjies give three lines of remedies for autism. Is it appropriate to start with second or third line if I feel it’s more suitable? I really appreciate your answer, thank you

Cristina
6/27/2021 10:37:12 am

The first line is what helps most people and for a beginner, I would advise to start in that way. The protocols are sets of remedies and when you have lots of clinical experience you can see patterns that help you decide to apply them less mechanically. But to get the best results if you are not a homeopath with plenty of experience, I advise to follow the book instructions.

Hello Angela, thank you for reading my blog! To answer your question, no there is no school that teaches how to use the Banerji Protocols but I need to emphasise that the Banerji Protocols are part of homeopathy. You will need to have trained as a homeopath to work with them if you want to get the best results. You will need a good working knowledge of homeopathy, pathology and disease, and homeopathic theory and materia medica in order to work with them. They help you get to the place you need through another door but still you need to know how to navigate through the case while working with them. Think that the Banerjies were homeopaths and most of the homeopaths that work in their clinic in India are Medical doctors+have completed the homeopathic training. I hope this is helpful.

Thank you Cristina, for great article, as always :)

I have 2 questions for you.

1. For how long would you give remedies from first line until you go to second line? (1 month, 2 months, 3 months..)

2. If we have remedies for example for pneumonia: Kali carb 200 c, 2 times daily; bry 30 + acon 200 every 3h alternatly with chel 6x (liquid) plus hepar 6c every 3h (to add if there is bacterial infection), how can we arange all those remedies?
To give them every 1,5 h starting from 9am to 10pm if we dont want to give some of them at the same time... example: 9am kali c; 10am hep; 11am b+a; 1pm hep; 2pm chel; 4pm hep; 5pm b+a; 7pm hep; 8pm chel and 10pm kali carb? In this way the procedure is respected but I found that in some protocol Banerjis put hep 6c and chel 6x every 2 or 3 hours alternatly...

Thanks for your reply!

I read that there are no aggravations with the Banerji protocol. But what if the symptoms increase or get worse a bit after having taking 2-3 doses?

for example, I started to take Lycopodium 200 and Ars. 3c for bloating and gas and tummy upset/pain, as per the BJ protocol, but after 3 doses somehow my symptoms got worse a bit.

Is this an aggravation or proving, or, is this just a normal sign of healing and this will go away in a few days? I am studying homeopathy as a hobby, and am studying the banerji protocols out of great interest, and I would like to know what to do in such a case, where symptoms get worse after starting a remedy.

Should I stop? should I continue? Thank you a lot for your amazingly helpful articles.

This is a big question because I do not believe in aggravations or provings as per the same way that you have read online or been taught by others. I believe this is a misinterpretation of the energy moving and what is happening. This is even more true with the BP given the way they are prescribed. Most people that think this is what is happening it is because they are engrained into this train of thought and they expect something to happen. I can not comment on individual cases but this is 90% of the times. For others, this means that the remedies are pointing in a given direction and of course, you need to understand what is happening. Then there are a few possibilities depending on the case. Sometimes you need to add something, other times yo need to move to other lines and in other cases you need to address something else or you have got the wrong protocol because it is not what you think it is. Lots of possibilities. You would enjoy my course when it comes out!

Cristina, I love your multilayered approach. I was raised with Homeopathy and have studied classical homeopathy in an unofficial way in the past couple of decades. For the last 3 years I have been successfully using the Banerji Protocols with my family and an ever increasing amount of friends and acquaintances (and animals). It is hard not to offer solutions to those who are suffering! I am now looking into becoming a certified homeopath, but as all certified schools are classically based, I am wondering if you have any suggestions on how to choose a school? I absolutely believe that quality training is foundational. AND the idea of having to put BPs on the back burner or fall in line with the classical philosophy that would negate them is really hard for me. Do you have any shining words of advice or nuggets of wisdom on how to pick a school, knowing that a future practice would take a similar approach to yours? Thank you.

Than you Ivonne!
Unfortunately, there is no one school that is "scientific" and explores homeopathy as a whole understanding it from different methodologies. Even when the Banerji Protocols are taught, they are sold as something mechanic, "if you have this, take this", which is not what the Protocols are about if you understand them. The Banerjies themselves where homeopaths and Medical doctors and there is a lot of knowledge behind each protocol, regardless if the Banerjies realised of that when they were put together or not ( I only say that because they never taught their thinking behind them, so we will never know!)
Each school will teach the original aspects of the "Organon" from 200 years ago and a selection of which ever modern methodology they agree with. So for some of my patients that are students of homeopathy, their school does reject protocols or working with several layers at the time. These students are kind of scared to talk about their own success when working with me because of that, yet they know it works!
I order to work with the Banerji Protocols to the maximum depth, you will need a good classical foundation training, that is the basis of what we know in homeopathy and this is the best starting point. After that, you will need to learn the Banerji Protocols against that foundation knowledge and expand it with clinical practice. Choose a school that has several homeopaths teaching and that will give you exposure to different ways of thinking and practising. But unfortunately, you will need that training in order to become a homeopath and I believe you should that in order to work with the Banerji Protocols. Gook luck in your learning path!

Thank you for your thoughtful reply, Cristina. I suspected as much. Perhaps some day you will deepen the understanding of budding homeopaths and offer mentorship and teaching…or perhaps you already do that. It is indeed a shame that the Banerji doctors left us so soon and took so much of their insight with them.

Does the Banerji Protocol for Hepatitis B have you take the remedies at the same time, or spaced apart (by at least 15 minutes)?

Also, is Chelidonium 6c an acceptable substitute to use until I’m able to get Chel 6x?

For example, take 1 dose of each- Chel 6c & Thuja 30c - twice a day. Mix the pellets under the tongue. An hour or so later, take 1 dose of Nux Vomica 30c (also twice a day). Switch to Chel 6x when available.
