 Preface
This book is intended for the use of medical practitioners and anyone who is curious about finding
a means to a healthy life, and aims at
a. making widely known the "Banerji Protocols" of treatment with homeopathic medicines-
an effective and time-tested system of treatment, based on not only the vast experience of
four generations of a family involved in the practice of homeopathy since 1863, but also on
research conducted by institutes of international repute, testifying to their effectiveness and
scientific acceptance;
b. projecting how the process of treatment with homeopathic medicines can be simplified,
standardized and made more acceptable in terms of present-day needs to comply with standard
protocols in medical and allied sciences and efficiency.
c. addressing facts and myths about treatment with homeopathic medicines which have taken
root during the last 200 years;
d. establishing the Banerji Protocols of treatment with homeopathic medicines as a method of
treatment for a greater population, owing to their cost-effectiveness;
e. serving as a ready reckoner to practicing doctors for the treatment of various diseases and
ailments; and
f. encouraging young entrants in the field of medicine to view the Banerji Protocols of treatment
with homeopathic medicines as being representative of a veritable "rebirth, of homeopathy
-with excellent prospects for rewarding careers, based on the opportunities to treat more
patients, in a shorter time frame, made possible by the efficiency of treatment under these
Protocols.
In this book, the details given with regard to the treatment of various diseases and ailments will
clearly reflect what the Banerji Protocols represent- the prescription of specific homeopathic
medicines, in specified potencies and dosages, often with frequent repetitions, and also in
combination with other medicines.
There are three steps in the selection of medicines:
1. the administration I application of the "first line of medicines" is expected to cure, or offer
relief, in 80o/o of the cases;
2. in the remaining 20o/o of the cases, the "second line of medicines" should be administered first;
and
3. thereafter, the "third line of medicines", if the first and second lines of medicines do not give
proper response, in a reasonable time frame.

IX
 Preface

Referred to in this book are some common, homeopathic medicines which may be administered
as supporting medicines in the treatment of any disease - e.g. Belladonna 3C or Magnesia
Phosphorica 3X or Hypericum Perforatum 200C for pain; and Ferrum Phosphoricum 3X or
Hamamelis Virginica 200C for bleeding.
In this book, five types of homeopathic medicines have been prescribed:

• the mother tincture (9) in liquid form;

• liquid potenrized medicines;
• globules or pills in pill no. 40;
• medicines in powder form; and
• tablets.

The tincture, or liquid, form is denoted by Q ore i.e., mother tincture, contains certain amounts
of crude drug materials in alcohol. For Q or e , 3 ro 5 drops (unless otherwise specified) of the
tincture in 2 or 3 teaspoonfuls (TSF) of water will make one dose. 1l1e mother tincture is then
serially diluted and agitated in the following way:

• O ne part of the mother tincture + 99 parts of Alcohol + agi tation = Dilution I C.

• One part of Dilution 1C + 99 parrs of Alcohol + agitation = Dilution 2C.
• O ne part of Dilution 2C + 99 parrs of Alcohol + agitation = D ilution 3C. .. and so on.

Or

• One part of the mother tincture+ 9 parrs of Alcohol+ agitation= Dilution I X.

• O ne part of Dilution 1X + 9 parrs of Alcohol + agitation = Dilution 2X.
• O ne parr of D ilution 2X + 9 parrs of Alcohol + agitation = Dilution 3X... and so on.

For liquid potenrized medicines, we use 2 drops a dose in a spoonful of water.

G lobules which are soaked in, and medicated by, liquid medicines, are available in different sizes,
and numbered 10 to 60; of these, we use the globules numbered 40 . Two globules at a rime are
given by us as a dose.

In the case of medici nes in powder form, these are usually triturations, and the process of potentizing
the preparations is done according ro the same ratios; five grains of powder will make one dose.

Medicines in powder form can be transformed inro tablets; generally, one grain or five grain tablets
are used .
In each case at the beginnings of the treatment one dose of Cam ph ora 200c is usually given, as this
neutralizes the after effects of prior treatments.

X
 Preface

At our clinics, we often use a combination of two potentized medicines served to the patients in
the same bottle. These medicines are added to the globules one after the other in equal proportion.
The plus (+) sign between two medicines in the protocol sheets means that this is a combination
of the two medicines.
Before reading and using this book, it is vitally important for readers to acquaint themselves with
the contents of the next section - "The Background". It is only by so doing that they will be
able to acquire the best perspectives with which to view our unique approach with homeopathic
medicines.
It is also important to read the chapter "Banerji Protocols in the Treatment of Cancer", bearing
in mind the facts that cancer is the most common cause of death in the present-day world, that
limited success has been achieved in combating cancer with conventional medicines, and that the
effectiveness of our treatment of cancer under the Banerji Protocols has been scientifically proved
and accepted, with our research collaborations on cancer treatment having been conducted during
the last few years with several institutes of international renown.
Readers will find in the biographical sketch on Dr. Pareshnath Banerji the very inspiration behind
the Banerji Protocols. It is unfortunate that very few people today know about his remarkable life,
his values and his pioneering work which, we feel, should be brought to the knowledge of the
medical community.

 The Background ·
The World H ealth Organization (WHO) defines health as a " ... state of complete physical, mental and
social well-being, and not merely an absence of d isease or infirmity, with an ability to lead to a social
and economically productive life ... ".
While this definition is straightfonvard, its interpretatio n is nor simple, bearing in mind the complexities
of present-day life. Attaining and maintaining high standards of health calls fo r a multi-dimensional
approach and the participatio n of society as a whole.
It is undeniable, h owever, that the role of medical science is very important in the attain ment and
maintenance of high standards of health.
The mission of medical science is: to c ure, when it is possible; when cure is not possible, to give relief
and help the patient maintain a better quali ty of life (Palliation); to prevenr diseases ... all of which aim
to maintain good public health of the masses.

Systems of medicine may be conventional or unconventional. Whi le the conve ntional system o f
medicine relates to the allopath ic system, the unconventional systems are homeopathy, ayurveda,
acupuncrure, C hinese herbal treatment, and many more.

ABOUT DR. SAMUEL CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICH HAHNEMANN

AND THE BIRTH OF HOMEOPATHY
Looking back into the histo ry of mankind, o ne is often amazed to fi nd the emergence of some
outstanding personalities at different intervals of t ime. Their tho ughts and futuristic (read as =
unconventional) viewpoints revolutionized existing perspectives in the fields of science, philosophy
and social order. The embodiment of such a perso nality in the field of medicine was Samuel C hristian
Friedri ch Hahnemann (1 755-1843), t he fa ther of hom eopathy. H e was born on the 10'" of April 1755
in the small town of Meissen, nea r Dresden , in Germany. A doctor in co nventional m edicine, by 1790,
he was recognized as one of the most distinguished physicians of his generation, and was appo inted
physician to the King of Germany. Soon, however, he becam e dissatisfied with contempo rary medical
ideas and the cruel practices that often ensued, as well as the drugs being p rescribed. H e realized that
m any of these medicines owed their pride of place in rhe Mate ria M edica due to their very biologically
active nature, which could easily occasion death or p roduce new diseases, on whomsoever t hey were
applied. Disillusioned, Hahne mann re nounced his practice of medicine. W hile engaged in translating
a treatise on herbal medicine, he felt dissatisfied with the explanatio n give n for the cure of malarial
fever by giving cinchona bark. He rook the drug himself in order to in vestigate the changes induced by
it on his healthy system. Strangely, the symptoms of malaria m ade their appearance in him, one after
the other, bur without the chilly rigor. This reminded him ofHippocrates' apho rism, "Similia similibus
curentur", meaning "Let likes be cured by likes".
H ahnemann felt convinced that the drug, which was th e best agent to cure malarial fever, prod uced in
him the initial symptoms of that fever. H e then investigated the actio n , on healthy human beings, of as
ma ny as 50 more drugs over a period of six years. H e recorded the symptoms produced , and com pared
them with the symptoms of diseases against wh ich they were used successfully.
In 1776, Hal1nemann published the results of his findings in a paper entitled "Essay on the new
principle for ascertaining the curative power of drugs". In this, he postula ted the most important

XII
 The Background

principle of homeopathy, stating, "Every powerful medicinal substance produces in the human body
a kind of peculiar disease, the more powerful the medicine, the more particularly marked and violent
the disease. We should imitate nature, which sometimes cures a chronic disease, by superadding
another, and employ in the disease {especially chronic) we wish to cure, that medicine which is able
to produce another very similar artificial disease, and the former will be cured similia similibus". In
181 0, he published 7be Organon ofthe Rational Art ofHealing, his greatest book, wherein he elucidated
systematically the methods and principles of a system of medical treatment to which he had given the
name of "Homeopathy".

WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?
Hahnemann (1755-1843) being its founder, homeopathy is a much younger and newer system of
medicine than most others. Homeopathy is very different from other systems - in terms of its very
perceptions about diseases and ailments, and their treatment and cure. The homeopathic approach
is holistic, that is, while treating a patient, a homeopath will consider not only the disease, but the
whole constitution of the patient. It is based on the treatment of the patient as a whole, and not on
the compartmentalization of the human anatomy. To know about homeopathy, we should know what
"individualization" and "similimum" mean, because these two are the basic tenets on which selection of_
homeopathic medicines depends, as practiced and taught from the time of Hahnemann.
What is "individualization"? Every individual person is different from the other-physically, mentally,
constitutionally, and in his or her likes and dislikes. In general, we may find some persons alike, but
all individuals have their own special features. "Similimum" means the most similar medicine as per
symptoms narrated by a patient. After noting down the symptoms of a patient, the physician thinks
of a few medicines out of which he finds one medicine which appears to be the most similar to the
symptoms narrated, considering the mental and constitutional status for that particular individual. In
classical homeopathy, only a single medicine is given in a single dose, and then the patient is observed
for his/her response.
Classical homeopathy has, therefore, no specific remedy for any disease by name, but it has specificity
for each individual case of disease. A specific drug cannot be used for a specific disease. In general,
when a homeopathic physician examines a patient, only a few medicines come to his mind. This small
group of medicines exhibits similar symptoms when given to healthy subjects for pharmacological
testing, a process called "proving". Finally, only one is selected as a result of practical experience,
and this procedure requires a long and intense interrogation of the patient. In an interesting study
of homeopathic diagnosis and treatment, it was shown that a typical classical homeopathic initial
consultation took 117 +1- 43 minutes for each adult patient, and 86 +1- 36 minutes for each child
patient. Theoretically, there should be only one such medicine considering the entirety of the patient.
The homeopathic drug is not administered in usual pharmacological doses, but in minute to
ultra-molecular doses prepared according to certain principles. These medicines are produced
using various plant extracts, salts, animal products, minerals, etc. and then diluting the extracted
mother tincture or the crude materials, as per pharmacopoeia! methods. These solutions are serially
diluted and succussed (agitated) until the desired potency is produced. Greater dilution leads to
greater potency of the medicine. The crude or slightly diluted extract, when ingested by healthy
volunteers, produces symptom complexes that mimic various diseases. The symptoms produced

XIII
 The Background

and recorded are a result of che dynamic action of drugs on healthy volunteers, or "provers': The
symptoms produced by the drug in "provers" are exactly what the potentized mecUcine is prescribed
for in che sick.

THE CENTRAL PROBLEM OF CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY

1l1e cenua1 problem of homeopathy is, whether a correct similimum can be selected by a ny such
method of individualization. There are multiple problems in this approach:
a) Homeopathy has no specific remedy for any disease by n ame, but it has specificity for each
individual case of disease. The subjective symptoms elicited in the typical rwo-hour initial
consultation are often "lost in the tra nslation", thus, should a patient be examined separately by
different homeoparhs on rhe same day, he will be perplexed to find that none of them seem to agree
as to the so-called "similimum." 1l1en, how can individualization be explained logically and used
to benefit the suffering population? Do all rhe medicines suggested by various homeopaths fo r a
patient behave as a similimum for that particular case? Obviously not! Then what is the solution to
this central question of how the correct medicine should be determined ?
b) If a homeopath examines six or eight cases d aily, he will have to charge high fees fro m each
individual patient fo r his own maintenance. This will put homeopathy out of reach to rhe suffering
population who really need it. At rhe same time, with such a small number of patients, a ho meopath
hardly gets enough clinical experience to become a true physician. It is common knowledge that
experience makes a doctor. In an interesting study done by Becker-Witt et al in 2004, it was shown
that a typical homeopathic initial co nsulrarion rook 11 7 +1- 43 mi nutes for each adult patient and
86 +1- 36 minutes for each child patient.
c) Lack of standardized treatment protocols has stalled scientific validation of the efficacy of
homeopathic medicines. 1l1is has also produced an ina bility to conduct clinical trials owing to
the mystique created in choosing medicines for administ ration to patients. For this reason, the
true healing potential of homeopathy has been repeatedly challenged and denied by mainstream
medicine and the scientific communi ty. Thus, this system of medicine is at risk of being delegated
to the archives of hisrory.
d ) In its present form homeopathy is attracting less patients everyday due to lo ng hours ofquestioning.
Even after spending so much time in taking a case, the medi cines suggested by va rious ho meopaths
for a patient do not behave as a similimum for rha t partic ular case. H ence due to lack of standardized
treatment protocols it is d enied by main stream medicines a nd the scientific community.
e) H ence it is becoming less am active a nd lucrative as a profession and many ho meopaths are having
to supplement their income by having an alte rnate caree r, such as teaching in schools, being
insurance agents, etc. A survey in June 2004 by Dr. Sushi! Vats in Delhi revealed an alarmingly
grim picture of the homeopathic practice. Out of the total of 3500 homeopaths in the city area,
only 50% are 'into active practice and of these 50% have another source of income and of che
remaining, only 10% have income worthy to survive in metros li ke Delhi .
f) The curriculum of study in homeopathic colleges and unive rsities are nor producin g doctors who
are capable or have sufficient hands on experience or a standardized treatment approach . When
these doctors complete their education and start t heir practice, they are floundering due to the
fact that they are taught mo re philosophy and less practical application in the doctor-patient
environment; in sh ort, they are unable ro treat the patients.
XIV
 The Background

THE GLOBAL USE OF HOMEOPATHY

Since the time of Dr. Hahnemann, the growth in popularity of homeopathy has been slow and less
widespread than it should have been - even though it is a safer, more easily administrable, and more
economical system of medicine than others. The main opposition to homeopathy has come from
the scientific community, based on the lack of standardization in the prescription of medicines- an
important feature of"classical homeopathy" in which different medicines are prescribed on the basis of
different symptoms of different patients. This feature alone has made it difficult, in fact impossible, to
conduct research, draw conclusions, generalize and theorize on the basis of adequate data made available
on the basis of standardization of prescriptions. Ironically, and intriguingly, "classical" homeopaths
have themselves also been responsible for the slow growth in the popularity of homeopathy in another
way: they have been rigid in their attitude and thoughts, and never regarded homeopathy as an evolving
science in which changes may be required to be made on the basis of the availability of vast amounts
of reliable data; in fact, they have suppressed the changes in the thoughts of Dr. Hahnemann himself
in his later life in this regard.
Also, since the time of Hahnemann, there have been radical changes in conventional medicine.
The most important of these relate to the development of antibiotics and sophisticated diagnostic
techniques, and a tremendous growth in their acceptability and usage. The ability of conventional
medicine to adapt and incorporate features and drug substances of other treatment ~ystems has also
contributed to the growth in its popularity. This growth has now assumed the form of a "rat race"
for economic success at the cost of the suffering humanity - because treatment by the conventional
system of medicine has become expensive and beyond the reach of the masses.
In spite of these deterrents, homeopathy currently is used in over 80 countries around the world. In several
countries, including India, Mexico, Brazil and the UK, homeopathy is integrated into the healthcare
systems. In the United States, homeopathic remedies are regulated as non-prescription drugs, which
give them a unique status over other natural therapies and supplements. Homeopathy is very popular in
the UK, where the Royal Family has had homeopathic physicians since the 1830s, and as many as 45%
of conventional medicine MDs refer patients to homeopaths and the treatment is part of the National
Health Scheme (NHS). In France, 40o/o of the population use homeopathy. Thirty thousand French
doctors use homeopathic medicines, there are twenty thousand pharmacies providing them, and 32%
of French family physicians use homeopathy. In Italy, homeopathy is the most popular alternative
therapy, used by 8.6% of the population. In Germany, 25% of family physicians use homeopathy, and
non-MD homeopaths are eligible for licensure and until recently were reimbursed by the National
Health System.
Nine million people use homeopathy in Brazil. Fifteen thousand Brazilian doctors practice homeopathy.
In 1985, homeopathy was included among the therapeutic options offered at the outpatient facilities of
the Brazilian public health system.
In Asia, the homeopathic medical system is very popular, especially in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

HISTORY OF HOMEOPATHY IN INDIA

Because of the economy it offers, homeopathy can be readily associated with India where many in its
large population cannot afford the high costs of treatment by conventional medicine.

XV
 The Background

Seen through the mists of rime, the early history of the advent of homeopathy in India is a
fascinating episode. As early as in 1810, some German missionaries landed in Bengal. They used
to distribute homeopathic remedies among the poor people to alleviate t hei r sufferings. Slowly, the
elite of the society recognized its efficacy, and many civil servants and military perso nnel became
amateur homeopaths. On the othe r hand, due to the efficacy and affordability of the medicines in the
rural environment, many schoolteachers also rook to reading the homeopathic mnteria medicas and
prescribing medicines to their village communi ties. In 1852, John Martin Hoenigberger, who was initiated
into homeopathy by Hahnemann himself in Paris in 1835, published a book which gave a glimpse of
the beginning of Indian homeopathic practice in Lah ore, at the court of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. In
his chron icles, he gives a vivid account of his successful t reatment of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's chronic
disease of partial paralysis.
During the seco nd half of the 19'h centu ry, some homeopathic dispensaries were opened in Bengal and
in southern India. The pioneer in this field in Kolkara was Rajendralal Ourra (1818- 1889). H e belonged
ro a scholarly and aristocratic family of Bengal. He engaged a French doctor, O r. Tonnere, and placed
him in charge of a homeopathic hospital and dispensary in Ko lkara in 1852. Unfortu nately, this venture
failed. Subsequently, Rajen Dutta himself rook up the cudgels, and started p ractice in homeopathy.
Among his illustrious patients may be mentioned the great early social reformer Pandit lswarchandra
Vidyasagar and Raja Radhakanta Oev Bahadur. Rajen Outta cured Pandit V idyasagar of a migraine wh ich
the conventional system had failed ro cure. Moreover, the cure of a gangrenous ulcer of Raja Radhakanra
O ev Bahadur created a sensation in Kolkata at the time.
In order ro strengthen the roots of homeopathic practice in India, Durta looked a round fo r a
suitable person of eminence. His efforts were crowned with success when he was able to persuade
Or. Mahendralal Sircar, a medical doctor and a skeptic of homeopathy, to rest its scientific efficacy
a nd curative potential. In his experiments, the administration of homeopathic medicines became
effective even when Or. Sircar's conven tional medicine failed. 11ms, Dr. Sircar became converted to
homeopathy, and carved a n iche for it in the medical history of India. A number of allopathic docto rs
starred homeopathic p ractice following Sircar's lead. l11e Calcutta Homeopathic Medical College, the
first homeopathic medical college, was established in 188 1. This institution rook on a major role in
popularizing homeopathy in India.
G radually, homeopathic dispensa ries opened in other cities like Benares and Allahabad, and by rhe
beginn ing of the 20'h century, ho meopathy had spread all over India. l11e epoch-making statemen t of
Mahatma Gandhi, "Homeopathy. ... cures a Lmger percentage ofcases than any other method of treatment,
and is beyond doubt safer and more economical and most compLete medical science': added another feather
to the cap of homeopathy. In 1973, the Government of India systematized homeopathy by setting
up the Central Council of H omeopathy (CCH) to regulate its education and practice. Now, only
qualified registered homeopaths can practice h omeopathy in India. At present, in India, hom eopathy
is probably the most p opular system of medicine, due to its easy administration in the home setting
and its affordability.
In India today, there are 162 degree colleges teaching homeopathy, a nd the largest pool ofhomeopaths
in the world - over 200,000 doctors practice homeopathy. Ab our I 00 million people use homeopathy.
This is a very conservative estimate because, in the 1950s and 1960s, there were nor many conventional
doctors available for the rrearmem of the masses. In that era, most village schoolmasters and scholars
educated themselves in this economical and easy-to-administer treatment form. Thus, homeopathy

XVI
 The Background

had a much further reach amongst the general population than conventional medicine. Of India's
1.16 billion population, approximately 70% live in villages and rural areas, where access to expensive
conventional medical facilities is limited.

A NON CLASSICAL APPROCH

Dr. Pareshnath Banerji, being one of nine students to graduate from the University of Calcutta in the
year 1910, did not join as District Magistrate, a position offered by the British Government for patriotic
reasons. He also refused to accept the tide ofRai Bahadur, later in his life. He wanted to serve his country
and do something for the less than privileged of India. His knowledge and keen interest in chemistry
lead him to develop a medicine for snake-bite, Lexin, which became very popular and was even exported
to the South Americas. Pareshnath based himself in Mihijam where thousands used to come to him for
homeopathic treatment every day. Treating his patients gratis, he naturally had to deal with a vast number
of patients every day. He felt that if he was to use homeopathy to treat this huge patient population, he
should devise a way to reduce the time per patient. If he had followed the homeopathic approach to case
assessment, he would have been able to examine, at the most, a dozen patients a day. He found that about
80o/o of his patients suffering from common ailments were curable by specific homeopathic remedies. For
the remaining 20°/o, he gave the greatest importance to symptoms narrated by the patients themselves.
Thus, he achieved success through sheer practical experience.

EVOLUTION OF THE BANERJI PROTOCOLS

Dr. Prasanta Banerji, son of Pareshnath, spent his childhood in such an environment where thousands
of patients were not only treated free of charge, but free meals were cooked for the patients, who
came from distant places. When Prasanta completed his education and started assisting his father. It
is here that he got his first experience of the treatment of patients with the specific approach. Prasanta
decided to relocate to Kolkata in the year 1960. That year he started his practice there. His practice
grew exponentially and within 2 years he had to see 500 patients a day, this is when it occurred
to him to standardize treatment protocols for every disease as per conventional diagnosis. He not
only devised specific medicines for specific diseases like conventional medicine, he also realized that
specific potencies and dosage patterns could also be determined - and this is the basis from which have
arisen the Banerji Protocols. At this time, he realized the potential of the treatment form that he had
created and started to present successful case studies at different international forums. For many years,
Prasanta struggled against the disbelieving attitude of the conventional system of medicine towards
homeopathy. Truly, the basis of this disbelief could not be said to be unfounded, as science must be
constant and replicable. The concept of individualization is probably an impossible idea for the basic
scientist even today, the fact that the homeopath prescribes 5 different medicines to 5 patients suffering
from the same disease defies current ideas of a standardized protocol. This did not deter his efforts, as he
continued full-heartedly in his mission to make known to the scientific community that his approach
was different. This aspect of what is the Banerji Protocols allows conventional research, where the 5
patients suffering from the same disease are treated and regressed with the same medicine protocol and
in the same potency with the identical dosage pattern.
Dr. Pratip Banerji, son ofPrasanta, completed his BHMS from the Calcutta University and was placed
2nd in the University with Honors in Pathology and Materia Medica. He Post Graduated from the

XVII
 The Background

Londo n College of Classical Homoeopathy (UK), and was awarded a Post Graduate Degree with a
Diploma in Teachers Training. H e is also Doctor of Medicine, M.D.(Hom), from the JRN Rajasthan
Vidyapeerh (Deemed University), Udaipur, India. After completi ng his degree in London, he had an
offer to reach at the College and practice in the UK, bur Pratip decided to come back to India and jo in
his father Prasanta. From 199 1, he starred his own practice and took charge of the charitable clinic that
had been starred by Prasanra, seeing over 300 patients a day. Prarip got deeply involved in writing and
documenting case studies and preparing scientific articles for peer-reviewed journals. He has brought
scientific approach and international standards to allow verifiabili ty of research data. 1l1e process of
data accrual and documentation according to the highest international standards was introduced by
him. This has made their research acceptable to the international scientific community.
Ever since the completion of his education, Pratip has accompanied his father to every international
scientific fo rum. Together they have attended and made dual presentations at many seminars and
conferences, invited by conventional medical institutions and bodies all over the world.

THE BANERJI PROTOCOLS: WHAT ARE THEY?

The Banerji Protocols are a new system of Medicine, in which Specific H o meopat hic Medicines are
prescribed for Specific Diagnosis of Disease wid1our considering the individual person. It can be said
that they are the fruits o f a cumulative experience and careful analysis of observed trends in patient-
medicine interaction and the translation of the same into a system of prescribing with a view to
standardi7.e and make easy rhe practice of an extremely complex system of medicine using homeopathic
medicines.
At rhe clinics of our research foundation, we do no t practice classical homeopathy. We have developed
a method of treatment in which specific medicines are prescribed for specific diseases. Diseases are
diagnosed using modern state-of-the-art scientific methods. 1l1is is done because modern diagnostic
approaches incorporate and help in the selection of medicines, so that specific medicines can be easily
prescribed for specific diseases. With the passage of rim e and the availability of new diagnostic tools like
ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, cancer biomarkers and other advanced tests, we have
been able to further streamline ou r treatment protocols. 1l1e efficacy of this app roach is reflected in the
encouraging results of our new method of rrearmem, which we call the Banerji Protocols.
We often combine two potentized medicines and use the combination in our practice. This combination
of rwo potentized medicines is made in a meaningful way, based on years of clinical observations by
us. Medicines are combined for special advantages in treatment, so that rhe aggravation due ro the
medicines can be checked, side effects of the medicines abated, and quick and uneventful recovery can
be ensured in a much shorter time.
The use of specific medicines in specific potencies, in fixed dosage patterns, eliminates the necessity for
any guesswork on the part of novice practitioners, and is always a tremendo us help for even seasoned
doctors. Our ·approach is more diagnostic than individualistic, i.e. more objective than subjective.
These protocols are easy to learn, and since the focus is on the diagnostic approach the case-raking time
is shortened. That is why it is easy to dissem inate to medical students and the general public. In a short
time, more patients can be treated. Consequendy, it also makes the treatment affordable to the weaker
sections of society, making it the "people's medicine". Fo r any scientific medical system, it is a rule that

interventions should be repeated with almost the same results- meaning, a treatment should have
replicability- and the Banerji Protocols fulfill this criterion.

THE NAMING OF THE BANERJI PROTOCOLS

In the year 2000 Dr. Prasanta Banerji and Dr. Pratip Banerji were invited by the National Cancer
Institute, USA to present a scientific paper at the Comprehensive Cancer Care 2000 (CCC 2000).
They gave a joint presentation on Bronchogenic Carcinoma, where they showed cases treated by
homeopathic medicines according to their method. After the presentation a homeopathic practitioner
from England raised a question that all the cases of Bronchogenic Carcinoma have been treated by
the same medicine, hence this approach cannot be homeopathy. He emphasized that each individual
case to be considered separately and the medicine should be different as per the merit of each case. To
which Dr. Prasanta Banerji clarified that they treat cases by diagnosis and prescribe fixed medicines in
fixed potencies and this method has evolved by careful observation and analysis over years of practice.
Dr. Evans of NCI, USA who was conducting the session announced that all the cases presented by
Drs. Banerji were evaluated, scrutinized and certified by the NCI. He also emphasized that NCI has
accepted this method of treatment.
After the conference was over Dr. Evans and the Director of the NCI, USA joined Drs. Banerji during
dinner, and explained the need to name this method of treatment, as there was a general objection
from homeopaths to call this a homeopathic way of treatment. Dr. Prasanta Banerji requested them
to suggest appropriate name to their method of treatment, both of them thought for a moment and
said, 'Banerji Protocols' sounds good. They said that if agreed then the name will be mentioned in the
websites ofNCI. It was agreed and since then this method has been known as the 'Banerji Protocols'.

WINDS OF CHANGE
Compared to conventional medicine, homeopathy has always suffered from a lack of credibility and
recognition the world over, having been acceptable usually to those who cannot afford the high costs
of conventional medical treatment.
However, since 1977, there have been winds of change. There has, on the one hand, been a perceptible
lack of success of conventional medicine to cure various ailments and diseases - notably cancer -
and, on the other, the serious- and growing- concern of researchers to identify options for medical
treatment offered by various streams of alternative medicine, including homeopathy. It is here that the
Banerj i Protocols of treatment, based on the use of homeopathic medicines, have had an important role
to play. Dr. Prasanta Banerji and Dr. Pratip Banerji, along with their assistants, together attend 1000 to
1200 patients every day, including 300 to 400 patients at their free clinic, in Kolkata. By doing so, they
help make the Banerji Protocols a mode of medical treatment for the masses. The second important
objective of the PBHRF is to ensure the collection, documentation and use of vast amounts of data in
meaningful research in the years to come. The operations of the PBHRF and the development of the
Banerji Protocols have been giving homeopathy a scientific basis and making it eligible for scientific
research.

 The Background

WORLDWIDE INTEREST IN THE BANERJI PROTOCOLS

Ir was in 1996 when the National Institutes of H ealth (NIH) of t he United States asked us to produce
records of our successes in the treatment of cancer as a parr of their Best Case Series Program fo r evaluating
clinical data from alternative healrhcare practitioners. We submitted complete records of cured cases in
1998, and our presentation of cases was accepted after derailed scrutiny by the National Cancer Institute
(NCI) in 1999. Subsequently, we provided a six-hour presentation befo re a 17-member Cancer Advisory
Panel. This panel included cancer specialists from all the leading American Comprehensive Cancer
Cenrers, including the Washington Cancer I nstitute, The U niversity ofTexas M D Anderson Cancer
Cenrer, rhe M emorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and rhe Joh ns Hopkins Medical Center. 1he panel
accepted our presentatio n unanimously, and this was indeed a great victory fo r Banerji Prorocols.
Since the n, we have had many visito rs from the United States of America, includ ing D r. Jeffrey D .
White, MD, Director, Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative M ed ici ne, Nation al Cancer
Institute; Dr. M oshe Frenkel, Associate Professor of Integrative Med icine and Medical Di recto r of
the Integrative Medicine Program, Di visio n of Ca ncer M edici ne Department of Pall iative Ca re and

An impo rtant aspect o f the PBHRF's activit ies is resea rch , and under its banner, Drs. Banerji have been
involved in recent years in collaborative research p rojects with Am erican institu tes of international
renow n which include 1he U niversity of Texas M D An derso n C ancer Center, Columbia University,
and the University o f Kansas M edical Center. Si nce 1977, Drs. Banerj i h ave been invited to a la rge

Spain has assumed great importance fo r o ur work in recent years. D rs. Banerji and the PBHRF have been
deeply involved in popularizing treatment under the Ban erji Prorocols, based on tl1e use of Homeopathic
or homeopathic medic ines in Spain -and, by extensio n, to other Spanishspeaking countries- where they
have received tremendous response. In 2008, a three-mem ber cancer support team from Spain undertook
a week-long visit to th e PBH RF to acquire fi rst-hand knowledge about the Banerji Prorocols; two hold
senior positio ns at the University of Barcelona, while the third runs a Valencia-based web portal fo r cancer
support, which is visited by nearly 1000 persons daily, nor only in Spain, bur also in Span ish-speaking
countries elsewhere in the world - with many enquiries on rhe Banerji Protocols.

XX
 The Background

The response of Spanish homeopaths, pharmacists and patients to the Banerji Protocols has been
extremely enthusiastic. In 2008, Drs. Banerji made a presentation at a conference exclusively for
classical homeopaths who enthusiastically welcomed the Banerji Protocols. A documentary film on Dr.
Prasanta Banerji is now being made by two Spanish documentary film makers who have undertaken
visits to Kolkata and Mihijam.
The operations of the PBHRF and the development of the Banerji Protocols have been giving
homeopathy a scientific basis, and making the Banerji Protocols, based on the use of Homeopathic
medicines, eligible for scientific research. Substantial progress has been made in this regard, as the
undernoted facts will bear out:
• Conclusive proof about the status and the scientific basis of the Banerji Protocols has been
provided to institutes as prestigious as the National Cancer Institute of USA, The University
of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, the University of Kansas, Director of Cancer Research
Institute, St. Luke's Hospital, Kansas, the Medical Director of St. Luke's Brain Tumor Center, the
Columbia University, New York, Pediatric Brain Cancer Department.
• Talks for research collaborations are now in progress with important universities and medical
institutes not only in the USA, but also in Spain, Japan and Israel.
Other internationally important achievements of Drs. Banerji and the PBHRF include:
• the presentation in 1998- and acceptance by the US Government's National Cancer Institute (NCI)
in 1999 - of 14 cases relating to patients with various kinds of malignancies, under the Institute's
Best Case Series Program launched in 1991 to seek out alternative approaches to cancer treatment,
and support research projects utilizing therapies based on this Program. (This represented the first
ever tie-up of a US Government health institution with any branch of alternative medicine for
research on cancer treatment; moreover, the agreement signed between the PBHRF and the National
Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicines (OCCAM) and the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA, is the first document in the world which recognizes the
imponance of the Banerji Protocols in the treatment of lung cancer); and
• the presentation of a paper on "Possible Use of Homeopathic Medicines for Health Problems
during Lunar Mission" at the Rutgers Symposium on Lunar Settlements", organized at the
Rutgers University, USA, in June, 2007; Drs. Banerji's presentation received tremendous response
(See Chapter 6).

XXI
 The Background

Homeopathy was invented by Or. Samuel C hristian Fried rich Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy.
H e was born on rhe I Oth of April 1755 in rhe small town of Meissen, near Dresden, in Germany.
A doctor in conventional medicine, by 1790, h e was recognized as o ne of the most distinguished
physicians of his generation, and was appointed physicia n to the King of Germa ny. Soon, however, he
became dissatisfied with contemporary medical ideas and the cruel practices that often ensued, as well
as the drugs bei ng prescribed. H e realized that many of these medicines owed their pride of place in
the Materia Medica due to their very biologically active nature, which could easily occasion death o r
produce new diseases, on whomsoever they were applied . Disillusioned , Hahnemann renounced h is
practice of medicine. While engaged in translating a treatise on herbal medicine, he felt d issatisfied with
the explanatio n given for the cure of malarial fever by giving cinchona bark. H e rook the drug hi mself
in order to investigate the changes induced by it on his h ealthy system. Strangely, the symptoms of
malaria made their appea rance in h im, one after the other, bur without the chilly rigor. This reminded
him of Hippocrates' aphorism, "Si milia similibus curenrur," meaning "Let likes be cured by likes".
H ahnemann felt convinced that the drug, which was the best agent ro cure malarial fever, produced in
him the initial symproms of that fever. He then investigated the action, o n healthy human beings, of as
many as 50 more drugs over a period of six years. He recorded the symptoms produced , and compared
them with the symproms o f diseases against which they were used successfully.
In 1776, Hahnemann published the results of his findings in a pa per entitled "Essay on the new
principle for ascertaining the curative power of d rugs." In this, he postulated the most important
principle of homeopathy, stating, "Every powerful medicinal substance produces in the human body a
kind of peculiar disease, the more powerful the medicine, the more particularly marked and violent the
disease. We should imitate nature, which sometimes cures a chronic disease, by superadding another,
and e mploy in the disease (especially chro nic) we wish to cure, that medicine which is able to p roduce
another very similar artificial disease, and t he former will be cu red similia similibus." In 18 10, he
published The Organon of the Rational An of H ealing, his .greatest book, wherein he elucidated
systematically the method s and principles of a system of medical treatment ro which he had given the
name of"Homeo pathy".
Homeopathy is a much younger and newer system of medicine than most others. Homeopathy is very
different from other systems- in terms of its very perceptions about diseases and ailments, and their
treatment and cure. The h omeopathic approach is holistic, that is, while t reating a patient a homeopath
will consider not only the disease, but the whole constinHion of the patient. Iris based on the treatment
of the patient as a whole, a nd not o n the compartmentalization of the human a natomy. To know abo ut
homeopathy, we should know what " individualization" and "similimum" mean, because these rwo are
the basic tenets on which selection of homeopathic medici nes depends, as practi ced and taught from
the tim e of Hahnemann. These b asic tenets are exacdy wha t a re not used by the Banerji Protocols. 1l1e
Banerji Prorocols are based o n a Diagnostic approach, much like conventional medici ne.

HOW THE BANERJI PROTOCOLS ARE SUCCESSFUL IN ADDRESSING THE

ABOVE PROBLEMS THAT PLAGUE THE HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH
a) Specific medicines are prescribed for specific diseases. Diseases are diagnosed using modern state-
of-the-art scientific methods. This is done because modern diagnostic approaches incorporate and
help in the selection of medicines so that specific medi cines can be easily prescribed for specific

XXII
 The Background

diseases. The use of specific medicines in specific potencies, in fixed dosage patterns, eliminates the
necessity for any guess work on the part of novice practitioners and is always a tremendous help for
even seasoned doctors. Our approach is more diagnostic than individualistic, i.e. more objective
than subjective.
b) The focus is on the diagnostic approach hence the case-taking time is shortened. In a short time
more patients can be treated.
c) The Banerji Protocols ensures replicability - the standardization of medicines makes it more
acceptable to the scientific community. It is possible to conduct clinical trials.
d) Easy to learn and disseminate to medical students and even experienced doctors. We have
conducted teaching seminars in various cities in India such as Nagpur, Ranchi, Agartala etc.,
e) A doctor following the Banerji Protocols can easily treat 50-70 patients a day. This makes it a viable
profession.
f) At present, we have an estimated many doctors trained in the use of the Banerji Protocols, both in
India and abroad, and they are in private practice in many locations. These doctors on an average
have 3 clinics each of which are attended by approximately 150 patients' every day. In the main
clinics at Elgin Road and Ashutosh Mukherjee Road, there is a daily footfall of 1000 to 1200
patients.
g) The popularity of the Banerji Protocols are spreading rapidly all over the world and we are getting
enquiries and being invited to teach this system from homeopaths and doctors all over USA,
Canada, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy etc.
h) At present we treat patients with every disease, via the internet, ·primarily different types of cancer
in over 80 countries around the world, using only the Banerji Protocols.
i) The cost of treatment by our medicines and protocols are much lower than any other system of
medicine. The approximate cost for medicine for one month Banerji Protocols are f 100.00, at
present. The socio-economic impact is evident.
j) We have successfully used the Banerji Protocols as an effective alternate to antibiotics in treating
infectious diseases, producing no toxic side effects and bringing about rapid recovery. We have
definite treatment for most of the infectious diseases like as Sinusitis, Tonsillitis, Bronchitis,
Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Meningitis, Otitis media (pus from ear), Gastro-enteritis (vomiting-
diarrhea), Dysentery, and Urinary Infections amongst many others.
k) Viral infections such as common cold, influenza, measles, chickenpox, mumps, viral hepatitis
{jaundice), viral meningitis etc. are very well treated with our treatment
l) We are not against surgery. Surgery is an art and science in itself. Surgery is called forth in
conditions where medicines have a limited or no role, and where surgical aid and an operation
can cure or improve the condition. There are a number of diseases that are labeled as 'surgical',
where our Banerji Protocols work curatively and one can avoid surgery. Some such ailments are:
Septic recurrent Tonsillitis, Piles, Anal Fissures, Fistula of different varieties, Appendicitis, Chronic
Suppurative Otitis Media, Vocal cord nodules, Polyp in nose-ear, Kidney & Biliary calculi, Uterine
Fibroids, Ovarian Cysts, Warts, Corns, etc.
m) In modern life, infections have diminished and various allergic disorders have grown rampant.
The Banerji Protocols offer very effective treatment in all allergic diseases such as various skin
diseases like Urticaria, Eczema, Contact Dermatitis, as well as gives excellent results in Asthmatic
Bronchitis.

XXIII
 The Background

n) Migraines, Asthma, Peptic ulcer, Allergy, Ulcerative colitis, etc. are successfully treated with our
prococols.
o) 1l1e Banerji Prococols are not limited to certain diseases but is universally applicable to all kinds
of diseases. It is time that people, especially the scientific community, muse be made fully aware
of the benefits and the scope of our treatment in various diseases. The Banerji Protocols should be
made available to the benefit of all ailing persons, as it can positively help majority of the diseases
that we have today.

LOOKING AT THE FUTURE

To meaningfully serve medical science and humanity, homeopathy required a re-birth. Perhaps nothing
can provide this better than the Banerji Protocols and the work of the PBHRF, both aimed at making
homeopathy with the use of the Banerji Protocols scientifically acceptable.
Opposition to the Banerji Protocols and the work of the PBHRF from the scientific community and
followers of"classical" homeopathy notwithstanding, everything augurs well for this "Banerji Protocols
driven" international re-birth-if the attitudes of researchers and "integrative med icine" oriented
medical practitioners in the USA, and homeopaths (including classical homeopaths), pharmacists and
patients in the Spanish-speaking world are any indication.
In countries like India, where m illions cannot afford the high costs of conventional medici ne,
homeopathy will always have a future - "classical", or otherwise. However, a change in mindset is
urgently required, bearing in mind t hat many who graduate from homeopathy colleges do not pursue
homeopathy as a career.
Much therefore is required to be made known about the Banerj i Protocols and the role of che PBHRF. ..
everywhere in the world.

 A Tribute
Pareshnath was born in the very year that Pandit Iswarchandra Vidyasagar
(1820-1891), the great social reformer and educationist and his father's
eldest brother, passed away. Born with a tremendous legacy and social
responsibility, Pareshnath had much to live up to, and the onus was on
him to study hard and prove himself. On the one hand, his famous uncle
Vidyasagar was the epitome of what every mother looked for in a son----
honest, upright, outspoken, scholarly, socially aware, revolutionary and a
man of vision and action. On the other, Pareshnath had to look up to his
own father Ishanchandra who was the physician in his local village after
having been initiated into homeopathy by Vidyasagar himself- the first
practicing homeopath in the family.
Dr. Pareshnath Banerji Even though Pareshnath was only 12 years old when his father passed
away in 1903, he must have got some meaningful insight into homeopathy as his life and
work clearly revealed later. Thereafter, the main influence in Pareshnath's life was his mother,
Kashishwari Devi, who provided for his education from the monthly widow's stipend ofRs. 10 she
got as a form of support from a family trust which had been set up by Iswarchandra. Pareshnath
studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at the University of Calcutta and was one of the
nine who received their Bachelor of Arts degrees in 1910. He received a British Government offer
for training in Civil Service, with an assured appointment as a District Magistrate, but refused
it as he was imbued with the spirit of the Indian freedom movement which had gathered great
momentum after the Partition of Bengal in 1905. He enrolled himself for the Master of Arts
course of the Calcutta University, but was unable to continue further studies owing to the passing
away of his mother.
Pareshnath now had to earn, and after responding to a newspaper advertisement, he got a job
which appeared suitable - of the headmaster of the Bagnan High School, in the Howrah district
of West Bengal, at a salary of Rs. 60 per month. However, he left after only a month, owing to a
feeling of uneasiness as most of the students of the school were older and better built than he was!
Pareshnath was positive enough to plunge wholeheartedly into the adventure of his life. With the
only salary he had ever earned, he set out to see as much of India as he could, living frugally and
even travelling mostly on foot to save as much money as he possibly could. He finally arrived at
Georoki in Kustia, now in Bangladesh, at the house of his sister who was 15 years older and, having
been married soon after Pareshnath's birth into the rich and well-known Rai Choudhury family of
Kustia, had seen very little of her younger brother. Dearly loving Pareshnath, she and her husband
almost adopted him into their family, providing him with monetary and other forms of support,

XXV
 A Tribute

to pursue his interest in studying Chemistry and Homeopathy. TI1eir four sons, who were not
very much younger, become very close to Pareshnath, probably looking upon him as a role model
because of his greater independence and travel experience. They remained close throughout their
lives.
Pareshnath stayed in Kustia till 1918, treating people in the Rai Choudhury fiefdom, and seriously
applying his mind to invent Lexin, a medicine for snakebites. He went to Karmatar in Bihar where
his famous uncle Iswarchandra had spent the last 18 years of his life. H e liked Karma tar and stayed
there for some time till he shifted to Mihijam, a small health resort village not too far away, with
which he had fallen in love at first sight.
In Mihijam, Pareshnath became painfully aware of the hazards faced by villagers when they became
sick and required medical treatment. The hospital nearest to Mihijam was 15 kilometers away in
Jamtara, and there were numerous cases of patients dying on the way to the hospital. The villagers'
lack of education and ignorance, particularly in matters of health and hygiene, did not help, and
it may be said that Pareshnath was compelled by circumstances to take up the important role of a
healer. Once, in the early stages of his stay in Mihijam, he was disturbed to see a group of villagers
carrying a sick woman o n a makeshift stretcher all the way to Jamtara. When Pareshnath asked
the villagers what had happened, they said " .. . she has been possessed by an evil spirit ... we have
tried everything possible, and are now taking her to the hospital at Jamtara ..." Pareshnath looked
at the sick woman, and felt the she would not survive the 15-kilometer journey. H e diagnosed
pneumonia on examining her; moreover, he convinced the woman's family members that he was
well versed in magical practices and healing, started ro treat her with homeopathic medicines and
cured her!
TI1e rest is history. Word spread and within a few months, every sick person in Mihijam and in
its surrounding regions was being treated by Pareshnath. Wi thin a year, he was treating a few
hundred padents per day. W hen this happened, the Indian Railways were compelled to arrange
for the stoppage of every major train at Mihijam's tiny railway station.
Pareshnath Banerji soon became a legend, achieving phenomenal success in treating all kinds of
diseases. Apart from his analytical brilliance as a doctor, what also made him stand out were his
several qualities of head and heart, including those of a philanthropist and a social worker. He
treated his patients free of cost, charging them neither consultation fees nor the cost of medicines
which was borne from the sales proceeds of his growing business in Lexin-the drug he had
invented for treating snakebites. He earned enough to meet his family needs as well, as Lexin
became very popular not only in various parts of India, but also in various snake-infested areas of
South American countries. H e also had a few other patent homeopathic medicines.
Pareshnath could confidently and successfully treat both acute and chronic conditions of numerous
diseases and ailments affecting villagers, and naturally had to treat a very large number of patients
every day. This being so, he could not possibly follow the approach of"classical" homeopaths; had

XXVI
 A Tribute

he done so, he would not have been able to treat more than a dozen patients every day. He devised a
new approach-based on his long experience in treating very large numbers of patients. He found
that about 80°/o of his patients suffering from common ailments could be treated successfully with
the use of specific homeopathic medicines. It was by devising and following this new approach that
Pareshnath was able to treat very large numbers of patients- because the time required for each
patient was very much less in about 80o/o of the cases. He did not always adhere to Hahnemann's
dictum "single, simple and minimum,, and did not mind prescribing mixtures of medicines, or
their frequent repetitions, whenever required.
In 1931, Pareshnath married Ava Rani. They had four sons, three of whom became successful
practicing homeopaths.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose with Dr. Pareshnath

Banetji at Mihijam in 1940

The British Government conferred on Pareshnath Banerji the title of"Rai Bahadur"; as a patriotic
Indian, he refused to accept this award, having completely identified himself with the Indian
freedom movement. Among Pareshnath's friends and patients were the great patriot and nationalist
leader Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the first two Presidents of India Dr. Rajendra Prasad and
Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, the well-known medical practitioner and former Chief Minister of
West Bengal Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, and many other such luminaries.
Pareshnath Banerji's philanthropic bent of mind found reflection not only in his interactions with
patients, but also in those with common people in Birsingha, his ancestral village in the Medinipur

XXVII
 A Tribute

district ofWest Bengal. By virtue of being the best loved among his siblings, Pareshnath inherited
almost the who le of his family wealth which included the extensive agricultural landholdings of
Iswa rchandra Vidyasagar himself - over 160 acres of agricultural land and a lake (the well-known
Paramanik Pari) of about 33 acres which had been specially dug up on lswarchandra's insistence
with a view to ensure that the villagers of the drought-ridden area never suffered fro m a shortage
of water. Even in his most difficult times, not fo r even one day did Pareshnath use any part of
his inherited wealth for the benefit of himself or his own fa mily. In fact, on the contrary, when
land settlement operations were taken up in the 1950s, he directed his son Prasanta to arrange to
register each plot of land in the name of the particular farmer who had been tilling it. He retained
in his own name only the lake which was intended for use as a water reservoir by the people of
Birsingha and its surrounding villages.

Pareshnath Banerji's life and work was a clear reflection of what could be achieved if someone
combined all-round brilliance as a medical practitioner with all the qualities of head and heart of
a philanthrop ist and social worker. The beneficiaries were nor only the thousands and thousands
of people he himself treated, bm also those treated later under the new approach to homeopathy
he had devised, thereby giving it a veritable rebi rth.

CHAPTER 1
BANERJI PROTOCOLS IN THE
TREATMENT OF CANCER

C ancer is a subject of great concern because there is a lack of effective treatment even in the
21st century. At present, cancer is the most common cause of death in the world. However,
the etiologies of most cancers remain unknown.
Ever since the information about this dreaded disease became widely known, and research on it
conducted, two important points have come to the forefront:
1. that cancer is an unregulated and undesirable proliferation of cells in the system; and
2. even though there have been substantial efforts undertaken, and resources spent, in addressing
issues relating to various cancer types, no "magic pill" is yet in sight.
In spite of the very best ofintentions, without definitive knowledge, it is impossible to find solutions
to problems presented by this disease. Due to this situation, along with a search for conventional
solutions, researchers are actively trying to identify treatment options offered by various systems of
complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), including homeopathy.

THE ROLE OF CAM IN TREATING CANCER

The role and efficacy of homeopathic medicines for treatment of malignant tumors is largely
unknown and unproven so far. Homeopathy is mainly used for supportive cancer care, and some
have suggested an integration of this therapy with conventional methods. In numerous studies, it
 The Banerji 'Protocols: Cancer

has been found that orthodox medicine fails to meet the needs of many patients, and that CAM
may somewhat substitute for conventional medicines. Interestingly, most patients indicate that
their problems improve with CAM which they have found incrememal in their Qualiry of Life
(QoL).
A comprehensive worldwide survey of studies of the use of CAM by cancer patients concluded
that its use is common and widespread. W ithin this broad arena of therapies, homeopathy is
consistently listed as one of the systems chosen by patients with cancer. A large descriptive survey
of cancer patients in Europe revealed that, on average, 35.9% were using some form of CAM
therapy. Homeopathy was the most commonly used of these therapies in Belgium, and was one
of the top five choices in six other countries. In other European countries, it was second only to
herbal medicines. In France, a recent study in a hospital oncology department revealed that 34%
of the patients were using CAM, and homeopathy was the most frequent choice. Homeopathy is
one of the eight most popular CAM therapies used by cancer patients in the UK.
A recently reported European survey included a prospective one-year observational study of cancer
patients, comparing one cohort of 259 patients under homeopathic treatment with a matched
cohort of 380 patients undergoing conventional treatment. Outcomes compared included QoL,
fatigue, and anxiery/depression. The researchers found a significant improvement in QoL in the
"homeopathy gro up" after three months, and a continued improvement after twelve months. The
conventionally treated group had no improvement in one Q oL scale after three months, and a
slight improvement in the other QoL scale; at twelve months, there was a slight increase in one
indicator and a decrease in the other. Fatigue and anxiery/depression were not improved in the
conventionally treated group; fatigue, but not anxiery/depression, improved in the homeopathy
group. A meta-analysis of all clinical studies on cancer treatment outcomes using homeopathy
found that all studies examined were investigating the use of homeopathy for adj unctive symptom
treatment, not as primary anti-tumor treatment.
There are a number of in vitro and in vivo studies, however, that have investigated the anti-tumor
activiry of homeopathic m edicines. In India, the laboratory of Khuda-Bukhsh has reported
a significant anti-tumor effect of homeopathic medicines Chelidonium and Lycopodium.
In America, several studies have reported an anti-tumor effect of five homeopathic medicines
used for treatment of prostate cancer. 1l1ere was a 23% reduction in tumor incidence, and for
animals with tumors, there was a 38% reduction in tumor volume in the homeopathy-treated
animals versus controls. However, in another study, there were no di rect cellular anti-cancer effects
demonstrated in these researchers' in vitro and in vivo studies. A third study examined in vivo
effects on mice treated with homeopathically prepared Sabal Serrulata, and clearly demonstrated a
biologic response to homeopathic treatment as manifested by cell proliferation and tumor growth.
Two other homeopathic medicines tested did not show similar anti-tumor effects. Another study
done in India reported that homeopathic drugs retarded liver tumor growth in mice, reduced the
incidence of chemically-induced sarcomas, and also increased the life span of mice harboring these

2
 The Banerji Protocols: Cancer

tumors. What we see in this review of laboratory research of homeopathy are consistent reports
of its effectiveness in slowing tumor growth in mice without a dear mechanism of action being
demonstrated.
Our own studies done in collaboration with American researchers at The University of Texas
M D Anderson Cancer Center must be mentioned at this point, for they have demonstrated
plausible biological mechanisms for the anti-tumor effects of the homeopathic medicines tested.
In one report, we described 15 patients diagnosed with documented intracranial turners, who
were treated exclusively with the homeopathic remedies Ruta Graveolens 6C and Calcarea
Phosphorica 3X without additional chemotherapy or radiation. Of these 15 patients, six of the
seven who had glioma showed complete regression of the tumors. In this study, we also reported
that these medicines stimulated induction of survival-signaling pathways in normallymphocytes
and induction of death-signaling pathways in brain cancer cells. Cancer cell death was initiated by
telomere erosion and completed through mitotic catastrophe events. More recently, we reported
a study of four homeopathic remedies that we use for treating breast cancer against two human
breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), and a cell line derived from
immortalized normal human mammary epithelial cells. The remedies exerted preferential cytotoxic
effects against the two breast cancer cell lines, causing cell cycle delay/arrest and apoptosis. These
effects were accompanied by altered expression of the cell cycle regulatory proteins, including
downregulation of phosphorylated Rh and upregulation of the CDK inhibitor p27, which were
probably responsible for the cell cycle delay/arrest, as well as induction of the apoptotic cascade
that manifested in the activation of caspase 7 and cleavage ofPARP in the treated cells.

THE BANERJI PROTOCOLS IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

The popular beliefabout cancer is that it is a localized disease which needs to be treated and removed
from the system by any means -like surgery, or burnt out by radiation, or generally combated with
cytotoxic substances, as in chemotherapy. This approach often leads to a diminution in the Qol
of cancer patients, because sometimes the side effects of such treatment become more painful and
unbearable than the disease itself. These forms of treatment are at best palliative in nature.
In a cancer patient, cancer is in the system, and appears in certain organs. If one organ is surgically
removed, and radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy carried out, cancer metastasizes to other organs.
The situation calls for a safe, non-invasive and effective form of medical treatment.
This is just what the Banerji Protocols offer: the homeopathic medicines prescribed are ultra-
dilute, non-toxic and destroy cancer cells selectively, while rejuvenating normal cells.
The Banerji Protocols have been developed on the basis of careful observations made on vast
amounts of data relating to the treatment of cancer patients with homeopathic medicines and
clinical experience over a period of more than 55 years. At our clinics in Kolkata, India, an average
patient turnout of 1000 to 1200 a day gives us a clear perspective as to disease and treatment trends

3
 The Banerji Protocols: Cancer

in the population we serve. We treat an average of 10% to 15% of our patient rumour - 120 to
200 cancer cases a day- whose suffering from this d readed disease has helped us to formulate set
protocols for their treatment. At present, patients from more than seventy countries follow the
Banerji Protocols for treatment of their cancers through the website www. pbhrfindia.org, seeking
online medical advice and treatment. At our clinics, we are privileged to have the opportunity
to treat every type of cancer, an d at every stage of the disease. The majo rity of our patients opt
to take only our treatment without any conventional treatments, and we also have patients who
use our medicines as adjunct therapy along with conventional treatments, or after they fail. We
often also have patients who come to us to seek relief from the various side effects of conventional
chemotherapy and radiation. O ur protocols fo r the different types of cancer are mostly customized
according to the location and tissue type, and the specific medicines, in their specific dilutions and
dosage patterns, have been standardized by us.

TREATMENT OF CANCER WITH BANERJI PROTOCOLS

The main objective we follow while undertaking the treatment of our cancer cases is to p rovide
them with a better QoL and, if possible, to provide a permanent cure. The Banerji Protocols are
designed taking into account the diagnosis as well as the various complaints being suffered by the
patients. We give a basic set of medicines to treat each cancer type, and have l st-line, 2nd-line and,
in most cases, 3rd-line med icines already thought out and designated. This is complemented by pre-
set medicines to give palliative relief to the suffering of the patients b rought on by accompanying
symptoms. This is the basis of the Banerji Protocols, where QoL is given paramount importance.
The med icines that we use fo r different types of cancer are listed in detail in relevant sections of
the book, but require an insight into cancer care for the practitioner in terms of pathology and the
cause and effect of the morbid situation affecting the individ ual.

THE DATA COLLECTION PROJECT OF THE PBHRF:

A UNIOUE PLATFORM FOR THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY
At our research foundation, the main research activity consists of recording in our electronic
database the treatment and response of all cases of various types of cancer and other life-threatening
diseases treated at our clinics. To this end, we maintain a recen tly upgraded, state-of-the-art
computer network with a high-end server and five nodes. O ur system also has two stand-alones
for internee access and image processing and storage. At present, our patient database running on
customized software on Oracle and MS Visual Basic has more than 20,000 cases inputted with
more than a hundred thousand visits recorded. The data consists of ap proximately 60 cancer types
by site, including three cases of cancer of the heart. This data is the epicenter of the PBHRF, and
makes us attractive to researchers from premier institutions througho ut the world. Clinicians and
researchers from many of these institutions have visited our clinics for an insight into our way of

4
 The Banerji Protocols: Cancer

treatment. This is an ongoing research initiative that has been active since 2003, though due to
our access to cases treated prior to this year, we have been able to get a wider perspective from even
earlier periods in our experience.
At present, we are in the process of collaborating with researchers from the National Cancer
Institute of the United States with a view to mine the data and use the information to understand
better the sphere of efficacy, as well as eo fine-tune our prococols.

CANCER TREATMENT OUTCOMES AT PBHRF

 The Banerji Protocols: Cancer

We feel that we have reached a point where we should call upon the scientific community to look
deeper into the systems of measurement than the molecular aspects. Here, experiments such as
those of the legendary Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose (1865-1937) become more relevant- in which
he demonstrated that the photosynthetic activity of the hydrUla plant was increased by 20o/o when
less than a billionth part of nitric acid was added to carbon dioxide saturated water in which the
plant was submerged. Sir Bose also investigated the effects of the extracts of the thyroid gland,
iodine and formaldehyde, and obtained similar results on the same plant. These experiments
clearly demonstrated the definite action of an extremely high dilution on the material world.
With the Banerji Protocols, we operate on the basis of fixed medicine protocols for patients
suffering from the same disease, in definite and fixed potencies, and in pre-set dosage patterns. We
have shown innumerable cases of complete remission achieved as a result of following the Banerji
Protocols which remain unchanged for many different disease diagnoses. The case studies we have
presented on various occasions have proved the effectiveness of our medicines under the Banerji
Protocols, and have been making them more and more acceptable to the scientific community.
Our protocols of treatment drew the attention of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA,
and we were invited to their headquarters in November 1996, where the then Director of the
Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) requested us to join their Best Case Series (BCS) Program
on Cancer. We joined the Program in 1997, and our presentation of cases was accepted after a
detailed scrutiny by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the US, in 1999. Following their
acceptance, the NCI recommended the presentation of our cases before the Cancer Advisory
Panel (CAPCAM). In July, 1999, we made this presentation- a 6-hour presentation before a
17-member CAPCAM panel consisting of cancer specialists from all the leading institutes of the
USA, including the Washington Cancer Institute, The University ofTexas M D Anderson Cancer
Center, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, theJohns Hopkins Medical Center, and the
Food and Drug Administration of the USA.
The panel accepted our presentation unanimously, and this was indeed a great victory for
homeopathy. Subsequently, our presentation was published as a paper in a peer-reviewed journal,
entitled "Cancer patients treated with The Banerji Protocols utilising homeopathic medicine: A
Best Case Series Program of the National Cancer Institute, USA,, Prasanta Banerji, Donald R.
Campbell and Pratip Banerji, Oncology Reports, 20:69-74,2008.
Our efforts to bring about the scientific acceptance of our system of homeopathic treatment under
the Banerji Protocols have helped produce three more scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals:

• A paper entitled "International Cysticercosis: An effective treatment with alternative

medicines", published in In \1vo of the International Institute of Anticancer Research,
Volume 15, Issue No.2, 2001;
• A paper entitled "Ruta 6 selectively induces cell death in brain cancer cells but proliferation
in normal peripheral blood lymphocytes: A novel treatment for human brain cancer",

 The Banerji Protocols: Cancer

published in the International journal of Oncology, October, 2003, jointly authored by

Pathak S and Multani AS (Department of Molecular Genetics, M D Anderson Cancer
Center, Houston, USA ) and Banerji Prasanta;
• A paper entitled "Cytotoxic effects of ultra-diluted remedies on breast cancer cells",
published in the International journal of Oncology, 36: 395-403, 2010, jointly aurhored
by Moshe Frenkel, Bal Mukund Mishra, Subrata Sen, Peiying Yang, Alison Pawlus, Luis
Vence, Aimee Leblanc, Lorenzo Cohen, Pratip Banerji and Prasanta Banerji; and
• A book chapter in A Compendium of Essays on Alternative Therapy , edited by Dr. Arup
Bhattacharya; the chapter entitled "Homeopathy: Treatment of Cancer with the Banerji
Protocols" published by lnTech in January 2012 has been written by Prasanta Banerji and
Pratip Banerji.

At present, we are actively involved in collaborative research projects involving homeopathic

medicines as prescribed by us under the Banerji Protocols on various in vitro and in vivo studies
with researchers at The University ofTexas M D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, USA, the
Columbia University in New York, USA, and The University of Kansas Medical Cenrer, St. Luke's
Hospital, in Kansas City, USA.

While there are a very large number of cancer patients under our treatment, we have in the following
pages given derails only about some cases considered incurable by any form of oral medication
currently available in conventional medicine. At our research foundation and clinics, we have
treated these cases with the use of homeopathic medicines only under the Banerji Protocols.
Some different types of cancers with their protocols of treatment for some cases treated at the
PBHRF follow.

INTRACRANIAL SPACE OCCUPYING LESIONS (BRAIN TUMOR)

The incidence of tumors of the brain, of its meningeal covering, and of the spinal cord ranges
from 11 to 19 per 100,000 persons. About one-half of brain tumors are primary lesions derived
from neurons, glia, or their supporting meningo-vascuJar structures. The remaining tumors are
metastatic lesions. Throughout the world, approximately 176,000 new cases of brain and other
tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) were diagnosed in the year 2000, with an estimated
mortality of 128,000 (Parkin et al, 2000). An estimated number of 18,820 new cases, and 12,820
deaths from brain and other nervous system tumors, were recorded in the USA in 2006 (American
Cancer Society: Cancer Facts and Figures 2006. Atlanta, Ga: American Cancer Society, 2006. Last
accessed August 7, 2006). Brain tumors account for 85% to 90% of all primary central nervous
system (CNS) tumors (Levin et al, 2001). and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results
(SEER) database for 1996 to 2000 showed that the incidence of primary invasive CNS tumors

8
 The Banerji Protocols: Cance r

in the USA is 6.6 per 100,000 persons per year, with an estimated mortality of 4. 7 per 100,000
persons per year.
As per traditional methods, treatments of brain tumors include maintenance medical therapy,
surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and immuno-therapy. In many cases, surgical removal
of the tumor is impossible; in such cases, sometimes, partial resection is effected. Response to
radiotherapy and chemotherapy is poor in many cases, and, in a fairly high percentage of cases,
their administration is contraindicated . There are recurrences in many cases, and a number of
them show poor prognosis.
At our Foundation, brain tumor cases are treated successfully with homeopathic medicines.
In our long clinical experience, we could give relief in a large number of cases, some of which
subsequently showed complete regression. A study of seven cases treated by us have been presented
with all medical reports and information documented over the years, including CT Scans before
and after treatment.

BRAIN TUMOR CASES:

Brain Tumor: Case Study 1 (GBM)
AA, a 60::-year-old male, came to our clinic on 3rd August, 2004, with a gradual weakness of the
left side of his body and limbs, headache, sleeplessness and mental irritabiHty being the complaints
for the past 2 months.
Before coming to us, he visited the Christian Medical College, Vellore. ACT Scan of his brain was
done on 28th July, 2004 showing " ... Impression: Multicentric Glioma ... ".
A Stereotactic Biopsy, also done at Christian Medical College, Vellore on 29th July, 2004 .. . from
the right internal capsule showed " ... High grade neoplasm ... Glioma ...".
He was advised surgery by the Christian Medical College, Vellore, followed by radiation and
chemotherapy. This was refused by the patient's party which decided to take the Banerji Protocols
of treatment.
With the Banerji Protocols, all his clinical symptoms disappeared within 8 months of medication.
A follow up CT Scan of his brain (plain and contrast study) done on 16th April, 2005, showed
" ... Hypo dense areas and calcification in right frontal region. As compared to previous CT Scan
of Brain done on 28th July, 2004, the mass has almost resolved ...".
We know that the patient lived a normal life till 2009 after which he has not been contactable.

The initial observations, based on a CT Scan of the brain (plain and contrast study) done on 9th
May, 200 1, were " ... suggestive of nodular enhancing lesion left thalamic and left basal ganglia
region with perilesional oedema component. Measuring the lesion 20 mm. x 14 mm . ? Glioma ...".
His economic condition was very bad, and he was unable to have a Stereotactic Biopsy done.
C linically, the patient. felt much bener and asymptomatic within six months of our medication.
The observations made during his treatment, based on a repeat CT Scan of the brain done on 14th
May, 2002, revealed that CT features, after a comparative study with the previous scan done on
9th May, 2001 , now showed complete regression of the nodular enhancing lesion with perifocal
edema in the left basal ganglionic region, presently showing a normal scan study.
He continued the medication with reduced doses and lived a normal life for one and a half years,
until a repeat CT Scan of the brain done on 8th May, 2003 revealed " .. . Impression: Plain CT
Scan of brain appears normal ... ". {The CT Scan plate is missing.)
We stopped our medication in July, 2003.
To follow up the case again, a CT Scan of the brain (plain and contrast study) done on 6th
September, 2004 again revealed " .. .Impression: CT Scan of brain appears normal ... ".
Well after the completion of treatment for 3 years, a follow-up CT Scan of the brain was done on
28th April, 2008, the report of which stated "Impression: CECT Scan of brain as compared to
previous CT Scan done on 9th ofMay 2001 the left thalamic enhancing lesion showing complete
regression with residual dot enhancement".
O n our last enquiry in July, 20 12, the patient was found to be keeping good health, working and
living a normal life. This being the case, we have included him in our current Best Case Series
presently submitted to the OCCAM of the NCI, USA. The series as of now (September 2012) is
under review. We called him to our clinic on 5th September, 2012, to rescan him- so that he
could sign the consent form for the OCCAM. The CT Scan of the brain done on 5th September,
20 12 showed, " ... CECT Scan ofbrain within normal limits ... ".

Brain Tumor: Case Study 4 (Astrocytoma Gr-11)

S K S, a male aged 10 years, was suffering from dim vision of the left eye for 1 year and 9 months,
deviation of the left eye since July, 1987, and progressive paralysis of the whole left side, trembling
of the arm, and a weak memory when he came to us for his treatment on 2nd May, 1989.
The first C T Scan of Brain was done on 27th June, 1988 when the SOL Brain was detected.
He was then admitted to the Christian M edical College, Vellore, on 28th July, 1988 with
progressive left sided paralysis and dimness of vision. He was discharged from the hospital on
14th August, 1988. During his stay at the hospital, aCT Scan of Brain and a Biopsy were done on
12th August, 1988. The Biopsy showed " ... Astrocytoma Grade II ... ". The hospital doctors
advised radiotherapy and physiotherapy on discharge from hospital. Radiotherapy was not
given, bu t he continued with the medicines as advised by the hospital on discharge.
ACT Scan of Brain dated 23rd March, 1989 showed" . . .Well defined hypodense circular lesion
with a nodule right basal ganglionic region . .. ".
After using the Banerji Protocols, the patient started improving within one month. The left sided
paralysis showed improvement, and all symptoms started regressing. He was walking freely and his
left eye vision improved considerably.
A follow up C T Scan of Brain dated 21st February, 1994 revealed " ... Described attenuating
lesion in right basal ganglionic region has regressed considerably. Nodular enhancing areas in
paraventricular region has now become tiny dot like calcification. Considerable improvement ... ".
The last follow-up was done in 2000, when some of his family members came to us for their
treatment, and we were told that he was in good health and living a normal life. Since then, he
has not been contactable.

After undergoing our treatment, the haziness of her vision lessened from the first month of the
commencement of the treatment, and thereafter her vision was completely restored, and the pain
and weakness of the right arm completely disappeared.
ACT Scan of Brain dated 27th April, 1992 revealed" ... Follow up case of a fairly large intrasellar

 The Banerji Protocols: Cancer

Along with the Professor of Cell Biology and Genetics at The University of Texas M D Anderson
Cancer Center, Houston, USA, apaper was published, entitled "Rura 6 selectively induces cell death
in brain cancer cells bur proliferation in normal peripheral blood lymphocyres: A novel treatment for
human brain cancer" in the International journal ofOncology in October, 2003, where the excellent
results on following our method of treatment with Rura and Calcarea Phosphorica has been dealt
with.
According to our observations for the last 30 years, these medicines have the definite power to
reduce and cure Intracranial SOL. It may be interesting to note that our claims with regard to the
action of these medicines have been succes~fully vindicated in vitro.
Both in vivo and in vitro results showed induction of survival-signaling pathways in normal
lymphocytes, and the induction of dearh-signaling pathways in brain cancer cells. Cancer cell
death was initiated by telomere erosion and completed through mitotic catastrophe events. We
proposed rhar Rura, in combination with Ca3(P04)2, could be used for effective treatment of all
types of brain cancers, particularly glioma.
Of interest in this context is the fact that the brain tumor community in many countries in the
world has shown an immensely favorable response to this protocol of treatment. We all know that
patients suffering from serious diseases often acquire a good deal of knowledge about their diseases.
Lately, we have been receiving 60 to 70 mails a day from patients all over the world who have read
the paper on Rura and, in an uncontrolled manner, have started taking the medicine themselves.
When, after 3 to 4 months of treatment, they find that their tumors have regressed, or become
static, they contact us to fine-tune the treatment for them.

Ruta Graveolens

17
 The Banerji Protocols: Cancer

Rutin, the active ingredient of Ruta, is known for its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory
activities, and also for reducing oxidative damage in a rodent model. In addition, Ruta is also
known to protect from DNA strand breaks and to prevent mutagenesis. Calcium phosphate
activates phospholipase, which cleaves a membrane bound molecule that activates protein
kinase C.
Thus, one may consider these aspects for a possible explanation of such effects.

BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA/LUNG CANCER

Lung cancer was the most commonly diagnosed type ofcancer, as well as the leading cause ofcancer
deaths in males, in 2008 globally. Among females, it was the fourth most commonly diagnosed
cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer deaths. Lung cancer accounted for 13% (1.6
million) of the total number of cases, and 18% (1.4 million) of the total number of deaths in
2008.
Lung cancer is the leading cancer site in males, accounting for 17% of the total number of new
cancer cases, and 23% of the total number of cancer deaths in 2008.
Lung cancer is now one of the most frequent causes of mortality in industrialized countries, and is
rapidly becoming one of the main causes of death in undeveloped countries. During this century,
its incidence has been increasing rapidly, not only in men, but also in women. Lung cancer has
already surpassed breast cancer as a cause of death among US women. In Mexico, the mortality
rate of lung cancer is increasing in men and in women, and is becoming a major health problem.
This neoplasm occurs most often in patients with a cigarette-smoking history, or in workers heavily
exposed to asbestos or other similar materials.

In this book, we have reported our cancer treatment outcomes using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
We have included only chose patients who had at least one follow-up visit 6 months or more after
the first visit for treatment. We cannot draw any meaningful conclusions on patients who do not
meet these criteria, In general, about V2 to 2h of the patients who come to our clinics do not return
for a second follow-up visit, or, if they do, we do not see them again 6 months or more later. Thus,
we have smaller numbers of patients included in our statistical analysis than actually come to our
cUnic for treatment.
The Kaplan-Meier analysis allows for the fact that, in a typical study of medical outcomes, one
cannot calculate the actual mean survival time of a group of patients unless the survival time for
each patient is actually known, which would be only when the last patient has died. Survival
curves, therefore, plot percent survival as a function of time. Time zero is not some specified
calendar date; rather, it is the time that each patient entered the treatment protocol. At time zero,
by definition, all patients are alive, so the survival rate is 100%. \Vhenever a patient dies, the
percent surviving decreases.
With the Kaplan-Meier method, survival is recalculated every time a patient dies. In most survival
studies, including ours, some surviving subjects are not followed for the entire span of time
indicated on the curve. This happens because some patients are still alive at the end of the data
collection period. Many studies enroll patients over a period of several years. The patients who
enrol! later are not followed for as many years as patients who enrol! early. Also, some drop out
of the treatment early. In either case, we know that a given patient survived up to a certain time,
but have no useful information about what happened after that. Information about these patients
is said to be censored. Before the censored time, we know they were alive and following the
treatment protocol, so we have useful information. After they are censored, we do not use any
more information on the patient.
The mean survival time calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method provides us with the average
survival time of the patients. The survival function, calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method,
captures the probability that a patient will survive beyond a specified time.

27
 The Banerji Protocols: Cancer

In order to extrapolate from our knowledge of a specific group of patients to the overall population,
a survival curve is far more informative when it includes a 95% confidence interval (Cl). This is
represented by the top and bottom lines of the graph, with the actual survival function of the
patients we treated represented by the middle Hne. We can be 95% sure that the true population
survival curve lies within the 95% Cl shown on the graph.

BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer is the most frequendy diagnosed type of cancer, and the leading cause of cancer
deaths among females in the world, accounting for 23% (1.38 million) of the total number of
cases, and 14o/o (458, 400) of the total number of deaths in 2008. It is now also the leading cause
of cancer deaths among females in economically developing countries.
Millions of breast cancer deaths all over the world have been a matter of great concern for health
authorities. In conventional treatment, surgery and chemotherapy are the only options. But, in a
majority of cases, metastasis occurs in bones, lungs and other organs which results in death. Under
the Banerji Protocols of treatment, we use homoeopathic medicines only and get a high percentage
of success.

breast cancer cells, but not the normal cells. The results were very encouraging, and clearly showed
the effectiveness of the medicines used. The results of the experiment have been published in the
International journal ofOncology 36: 375 - 403, 2010, as a paper "Cytotoxic effects of ultra-diluted

ESOPHAGEAL CARCINOMA
In esophageal carcinoma, the mortality rate is very high. Treatment by conventional medicines
consists of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and, in some cases, replacement of the esophagus.
It is not possible to analyze scientifically the treatment of esophageal carcinoma by conventional
medicines; as a result, reliable statistics are nowhere available.
At our clinics, the treatment of such cases has been carried out for more than 40 years, and records
have been kept since 1993 when our research foundation was established.

and making it possible for
the food to pass easily.

The botanical name of Condurango is Marsdenia Condurango under the family Asclepiadaceae.
Homeopathic medicines are produced from the bark, and the medicines used by us were procured
from reputed homeopathic medicine manufacturers.
It is very difficult to explain the action of Condurango, and how it helps in the regression of
esophageal tumors. Condurango contains large amounts of tannins. Tannins (commonly referred
to as tannic acids) are water-soluble plant polyphenols comprising a heterogeneous group of
compounds. An increasing body of experimental evidence indicates that tannins exert anti-
carcinogenic activity, and can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and induce apoptosis. Tannins
of Terminalia Catappa, which is a folk medicine, can prevent lipid peroxidation, superoxide
formation, and have free radical scavenging activities. In these ways, they can prevent cancer. It
has also been observed that tannic acid dietary intake in low doses can produce a strong chemo-
protective activity against spontaneous hepatic neoplasm development in C3H male mice, most
probably through anti-promoting mechanisms. Considering all these facts, it appears that tannins
of Condurango prevent the development of cancer by anti-promoting mechanisms, free radical
scavenging, decreasing lipid peroxidation and superoxide formation. After development of cancer,
tannins of C ondurango can initiate apoptotic mechanisms in the tumor cells, and thereby produce
a regression in the tumor. Thus, our findings indicate that Condurango is a medicine that can be
used with reasonable confidence in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma.

PROSTATE CANCER
Prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed type of cancer and the sixth
leading cause of cancer deaths in males, accounting for 14% (903,500) of the total
number of new cancer cases, and 6% (2 58,400) of the total number of cancer deaths in
males in 2008.
The incidence of prostate cancer is generally more in those aged between 65 years and 80 years.
The most prominent symptom is passage of blood through the urine (hematuria), with restricted
flow of urine and occasional retention. At our research foundation, we have treated a very large
number of cases with success.

OSTEOSARCOMA
Tumors develop from osteoblastic being connective tissues included osteoid osteoma and
osteosarcoma. Osteoid, osteoma are benign tumors. Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant tumor
of the bone; it occurs in young children, the most common site being around the knee, but it
also occurs in other bones like head of humerus, scapula bones, etc. This is commonly treated by
surgery under the conventional method, and in the case of those which are occurring around the
knees, the leg is amputated from just above the lesion. But, at our clinics, we have treated many
such cases with a high percentage of success by the treatment protocol given below. Osteosarcoma
is the most common malignant bone tumor in youth. The average age at diagnosis is 15 years.
Boys and girls have a similar rate of incidence of this tumor until late adolescence, at which stage
boys are more commonly affected. The cause is not known. In some cases, osteosarcoma runs in
familial retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye which occurs in children. It appears to be a defective
tumor inhibitor gene. Sometimes, in the course of our practice, we s~e the action of homeopathic

STOMACH CANCER
A total of989,600 new stomach cancer cases and 738,000 deaths were estimated to have occurred
in 2008, accounting for 8o/o of the total cases and 1Oo/o of total deaths.
Cancer of the stomach often starts with symptoms like gastric pain, sometimes hunger pain; this
being so, it is treated as a gastric pain. In conventional treatment, surgery and chemotherapy are
the usual options; these, in many cases, are not very helpful. Generally, stomach cancer is detected
in an endoscopy examination in which ulcerative growth is found in the stomach.

Rectal cancer usually starts with bleeding in the rectum, and then increases slowly to a condition
in which the frequency of stool increases, and ultimately involuntary passage of mucoid matter,
mixed with small quantities of stool results. Sometimes, there is pain and burning.

Generally, the symptoms in the case of colon cancer depend on the location of the tumor. But,
generally, in most of the cases we get bleeding in the rectum off and on. This is a very serious
complication, and the second leading cause of death due to cancer in the USA. These cancers are
found to be adenocarcinomas in almost all the cases. In many cases, a lump formation is found.

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Alzheimer's disease is now one of the most serious concerns globally, as it has been predicted that
it will affect one in every 85 persons by the year 2050. The commonest starting symptoms of
this disease are premature ageing and a lack of memory for recent events. Confusion, irritability,
aggression, mood swings, deterioration of language or language breakdowns, and long-term
memory losses lead to a general withdrawal of the sufferer as his senses fail, resulting in a loss of
body functions and, ultimately, death.
We have treated numerous cases ofAlzheimer's disease. In many cases, our medicines have benefited
patients greatly by effectively halting the spread of the disease.

ANIMAL AND HUMAN BITE WOUNDS

In the case of animal bites, particularly when someone is bitten by a mad dog, hydrophobia- a
life-threatening disease- follows.
Using the conventional system of medicine, anti-rabies inoculation is given immediately, or as soon
as possible, after an animal bite; this is very effective in preventing hydrophobia. But, as rabies has
an onset-to-death period of I 0 days, in most animal vectors, while the human onset period is much
longer, the option to capture the animal vector and wait for the I 0-day period to be over, and to
observe whether the animal responsible for the bite lives beyond it, is of paramount importance. This
will determine whether any pro-active vaccination/interference is required.
Under our system of the Banerji Protocols, and based on our long experience of treating various
kinds of animal bites, particularly in Mihijam in India, where there were no other facilities for
treating them, Stramonium 200C + Arsenicum Album 200C, given four times a day for one
month, was found to be of immense value in saving lives.

FIRST LINE MEDICINES

• Hypericum 200C + Arsenicum Album 200C,

one dose every 3 hours for any type of animal
bite.
• Stramonium 200C + Arsenicum Album
200C, particularly for dog bites, to be given,
four doses a day for one month.

In the case of both animal and human bites, these two medicines are very effective.

APPENDICITIS- ACUTE AND CHRONIC

Appendicitis starts with pain in the peri-umbilical region, and then in the right iliac fossa. Though
appendicitis is considered a case for surgery, it is curable with specific homeopathic medicines. The
protocols given below have been used successfully at our clinics.
A very interesting case of the successful treatment of acute appendicitis was in our very own family
in the mid-1950s in Mihijam which then had no facilities for proper medical treatment. When
Mrs. Ava Banerji, Dr. Pareshnath's wife, was in severe pain with fever and acute inflammation of
the appendicular region, he started giving her homeopathic medicines; within hours, the pain
subsided, her condition improved, and she became well.

BED SORES (DECUBITUS ULCERS)

Bed sores are generally caused by pressure ulcers in patients who are already bedridden, and have to
be moved whenever possible. These ulcers pose a great threat to patients already in a critical state
owing to their primary illness. Bed sores become almost impossible to cure once they take root.

BREAST ABSCESS
Breast abscess is generally seen in lactating mothers. It is a localised area of infection. It ruptures
when a considerable quantity of pus accumulates. Generally, surgical intervention is done under
the conventional method of treatment. However, with our treatment, no surgical intervention is
necessary; breast abscess is regressed by our oral protocol, with the medicines helping to rupture
the abscess followed by drying up of the discharges.

CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS (CVA)

Cerebrovascular accidents can occur due to various reasons -- hemorrhage, infarction or embolism.
Often, there develops a hemiparesis which, if not treated promptly, can be a permanent disability.
In our practice, we routinely come across patients who have this weakness in the limbs, and we
are able to help them. It is usually believed that there can be no further improvement than that
which takes place within the first year of the CVA, but we have seen that even these cases get some

Choledocholithiasis was the most common cause ofbiliary tract obstruction resulting in cholangitis.
Over the past t:Wo decades, biliary tract manipulations/interventions and stents have reportedly
become more common causes of cholangitis.
Cholangitis can be life-threatening, and is regarded as a medical emergency. Characteristic
symptoms include jaundice, fever, abdominal pain, and, in severe cases, low blood pressure and

Cholera causes acute diarrheal illness, and while in these cases there is generally no temperature,

CHOLELITHIASIS
All pathological gall bladder cases do not require surgery. They can be treated very effectively
with specific homeopathic medicines under our protocol. Surgical treatment is required for only
those cases in which there is no response to oral homeopathic treatment, and complications have
developed.
The electrolite composition of gall bladder bile differs from that of the hepatic bile since most
of the inorganic anions, chlorides and bicarbonates have been removed by reabsorption across
the basement membrane. Hepatic (liver) bile is a pigmented isotonic fluid with an electrolite
composition resembling blood plasma.
When the gall bladder is operated out, the gall bladder bile is lost and digestion becomes weak, and
fatty food, fried food, etc. are likely to give discomfort, when taken after the gall bladder operation.
Reabsorption of anions, chlorides and bicarbonates also do not take place, resulting in disruption
of the bile function.
The solubility of cholesterol in bile depends upon the relative molar concentration of cholesterol,
bile acids and lecithin.

58
 The Banerji Protocols: General Diseases

The most important mechanism in the formation of stones is increased biliary secretion of chol-
esterol. This may occur due to many reasons which cannot be pinpointed. If, by oral medication,
the secretion of cholesterol is regulated, density of bile is made normal, the stones melt and the
disease can be cured. In some cases, even if the disease is cured, i.e. the bile is made normal, the
stones do not melt. By the intake of homeopathic medicines, the stones become silent and fixed in
one place. The patients become symptom-free for the rest of their lives.
This is my observation for my long years of practice. Now, it is confirmed in current conventional
medical books. Reference can be made to:

i) Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment, 2010 edition, page 634-635 (USA)
ii) Clinical Medicine, Kumar & Clark, 4th edition, page 341 (London)

In many cases, the stones do melt, which is proved by ultrasonography examinations. Operation of
gall bladder is only indicated, if the stones do not melt and also the symptoms of pain etc. cannot
be controlled with oral medication.
Conclusion: All cases of stones in the gall bladder are not required to be operated. They should be
treated with homeopathic medicines. Homeopathy has specific medicines for the treatment of gall
bladder stones - only those cases which do not respond to oral homeopathic treatment, or those
which develop complications, are to be treated surgically.
Patients sometimes fear that the presence of stones in the gall bladder for a long time may cause cancer~
This idea is totally wrong; the cause of cancer is not yet known to the medical profession. I have in my
knowledge many cases where gall stones have become silent with our treatment, and have discontinued
the medicines prescribed. The patients have been keeping well for the last 20 to 25 years.

GASTRITIS AND GASTROPATHY, PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE

Gastritis is a condition relating to the inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach. The
stomach lining contains special cells which produce acid and enzymes which help dissolve food for
digestion, and mucus, which protects the stomach lining from acid. When the stomach lining is
inflamed, it produces less acid, enzymes, and mucus. It may be acute and chronic.
Common causes of these diseases are excessive alcohol consumption, gastric mucosal erosion,
and damage of the mucosal protective layer of the stomach, the prolonged use of a few

78
 The Banerji Protocols: General Diseases

drugs like acetylsalicylic acid {Aspirin), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, stomach

infection by Helicobacter pylori, smoking, few injuries, certain diseases like pernicious
anemia, autoimmune disorder, backflow of bile into the stomach (bile reflux), mental stress
and tension, excess gastric acid secretion, eating or drinking caustic or corrosive substances,
such as poison, etc. These diseases also afflict those who do not take food in time, and keep
the stomach empty for long periods.
Peptic ulcer is a break in the gastric and duodenal mucosa that arises when the normal mucosal
defensive factors fail in their function. Ulcers occur five times more commonly in the duodenum,
where over 9So/o are in the bulb or pyloric channel. In the stomach, benign ulcers are located most
commonly in the antrum (60o/o) and at the pylori junction, patients taking NSAIDs on a long-
term basis, and acid hyper-secretory state. Ulcers are more common in smokers. Men suffer more
from ulcers than women.
Ulcers produce symptoms like epigastric pain, mainly related to intake of food, feeling of
abdominal fullness, vomiting and nausea, sometimes blood vomiting, heartburn, melena, loss of
appetite, weight loss, etc. Rarely can an ulcer lead to a gastric or duodenal perforation, which leads
to acute peritonitis.

GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is defined as chronic symptoms or mucosal damage
produced by the abnormal reflux of stomach acid to the esophagus. A typical symptom is
heartburn. This is commonly due to transient or permanent changes in the barrier between the

79
 The Banerji Protocols: General Diseases

esophagus and the stomach. This can be due to incompetence of the lower esophageal sphinter,
transient lower esophageal sphinter relaxation, impaired expulsion of gastric reflux from the
esophagus, or a hiatus hernia. A different type of acid reflux which produces respiratory and
laryngeal manifestations is laryngopharyangeal reflux (LPR), also called extraesophageal reflux
disease (EERD). Unlike GERD, LPR is unlikely to produce heartburn, and is thus sometimes
called 'silent reflux'. Possible symptoms are heartburn, regurgitation of food, dysphagia, chest
pain and painful swallowing.

GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING
This is a symptom which relates to bleeding from the pharynx to the rectum. Gastrointestinal
bleeding can be roughly divided into two clinical syndromes- upper gastrointestinal bleeding
and lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is from a source between the pharynx and the ligament ofTreigz.
An upper source is characterised by hematemesis (vomiting up blood), and melena (tarry stool
containing altered blood).
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding may be indicated by red blood per rectum, especially in the
absence of hematemesis. Isolated melena may originate from anywhere between the stomach and
the proximal colon.
Gastrointestinal bleeding may originate from a number of sources like injury and trauma, and
diseases related to the gastrointestinal tract (peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, gastric perforation,
portal hypertension, esophageal varices, anorectal diseases and malignant diseases related to the
gastrointestinal tract. Sometimes, the diagnosis is confirmed by the occult blood examination of
the stool.

Pareshnath Banerji. A lady of about 50 years came to him, and said that she had been suffering
from migraine on the left side of her head for 19 years; for nearly the last 6 years, she had been
having a daily attack of dull pain which was very annoying, making her unable to concentrate on
any work. Dr. Banerji gave her two doses of Sepia 200c in water, and advised her to take one dose
every 7 days. She visited Dr. Banerji after 7 days, and said that after she had taken the first dose,
the pain stopped completely and did not recur. Dr. Banerji advised her not to take the second
dose, until and unless the pain recurred. The case was followed up by us for the next 3 years during
which there was no recurrence.

POLIOMYELITIS (POST-POLIO PARALYSIS)

Poliomyelitis is an infectious viral disease which affects mainly young children. The virus is transmitted
through contaminated food and water, and multiplies in the intestine from where it can invade the
nervous system. Poliovirus is an RNA virus which is transmitted through the oral-fecal route. The
incubation period for poliovirus is 5 to 35 days. The viral particles initially replicate in the nasopharynx
and the GI tract, and then invade lymphoid tissues, with subsequent hematologic spread.

105
 The Banerji Protocols: General Diseases

symptoms of paralytic polio include high fever, headache, stiffness in the back and neck,
asymmetrical weakness of various muscles, sensitivity to touch, difficulty in swallowing, muscle
pain, loss of superficial and deep reflexes, paresthesia, irritability, constipation, or difficulty in
urinating. Paralysis generally develops one to 10 days after the early symptoms appear, progresses
for 2 to 3 days, and is usually complete by the time the fever breaks.

and pose a threat to the lives of patients. Under our Protocols, we treat patients only with the
medicines prescribed below.

RABIES
Rabies is a viral (rhabdovirus) encephalitis transmitted by infected saliva which gains
entry into the body by animal bite, or an open wound. The rabies virus travels to the

108
 The Banerji Protocols: General Diseases

brain by the peripheral nerves. The incubation period of the disease is usually a few
months in humans, depending on the distance the virus must travel to reach the central
nervous system. Once the rabies virus reaches the central nervous system and symptoms
begin to show, the infection is effectively untreatable and usually fatal within days. The
prodromal syndrome consists of pain at the site of the bite in association with fever,
malaise, headache, nausea and vomiting. The skin is sensitive to changes of temperature,
especially air currents (aerophobia). The encephalitis produces the classic rabies
manifestation of delirium alternating with periods of calm. Extremely painful laryngeal
spasms on attempting drinking (hydrophobia}, autonomic stimulation, hypersalivation,
and seizures. The less common paralytic form manifests as an acute ascending paralysis
resembling the Guillain-Barre syndrome, and the ultimate stage is coma, autonomic
nervous system dysfunction, and death. Immediately after the bite of an animal, or as
soon as possible, anti-rabies inoculation should be given.
From our side, we suggest giving Stramonium 200C + Arsenicum Album 200C, one dose every 3
hours for 15 days, to prevent the disease.

RENAL STONES
The causes of formation of stones in the kidneys are unknown. Under the conventional system of
medical treatment, renal stones are treated as cases of surgery, and there are at present many forms
of surgical procedure. Under this system, the constitution of the patients- for which renal stones
are formed- is never the subject of such treatment; this being so, renal stones are formed again.
Moreover, owing to the surgical and invasive process followed, the nephrons of the kidneys are
damaged. There is no question of such damage to the kidneys under our system of treatment; on
the contrary, our protocols of treatment improve the immune system of patients, and help prevent
recurrence. More important, small renal stones are dissolved, and some pass out with urine. We
have also observed that if the stones are silent, they do not cause any problem.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Rheumatoid arthritis is a colagean disease, and it requires a fairly long treatment for relief
and cure. It is a chronic system inflammatory disease with pain, stiffness and, in many cases,
deformities set in in the joints. The cause is not known, and it is a chronic multi-system
disease.
I shall always remember a remarkable case of rheumatoid arthritis, treated by my father
Dr. Pareshnath Banerji. The concerned patient came to him, restless and screaming with
severe pain, after having tried out conventional, ayurvedic and also homeopathic systems of
treatment. All painkillers under these three systems had failed, and he could not get any relief
from pain.
At first, my father's medicines also failed to relieve him ofhis pain. He then thought ofMedorrhinum
200C- a medicine which had been tried before. He changed the dosage to one dose every 3
hours, and asked the patient's attendant to continue giving the medicine throughout the night and
report to him the next morning.
The next morning it was found that the pain had completely disappeared. The doses were then
reduced to 2 doses daily for one month. The patient was completely cured, as follow-ups during
the next 5 years did not reveal any recurrence.

Bearing in mind that the treatment of salivary stones and any type of tumor is usually surgical,
unless the actual cause of the development of a stone of the salivary gland is addressed to, there is
a possibility of recurrence. The medicines under our Protocols, prescribed below, directly address
the functioning of the salivary glands; thus, the problem, once treated and solved, usually does
not recur.

SALMONELLOSIS I TYPHOID FEVER

In the case of typhoid fever, if a patient comes with some temperature but not with a proper
diagnosis, it is not possible for a doctor to identify the disease and assess the duration of the treatment
required. It is possible to identify the disease by clinical examination, or by an examination of the
tongue and abdomen. What is advised next is to have blood taken for Widal, followed by a blood
examination for the Widal test, to confirm the disease.
As our Protocol below will bear out, our approach is based on the prescription of specific
medicines. Mter cure by these medicines, there is absolutely no chance of any relapse of the
disease.
Typhoid fever may affect the lungs, the gall bladder, the kidney, etc. and specific medicines
are prescribed under our protocol following which we give symptomatic relief for the other
complications too.
For typhoid fever, the following Protocol may be used very successfully:

SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERVTHMATOSUS (SLE)

Systemic lupus erythmatosus (SLE) is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder characterized by
autoantibodies to nuclear antigens. This can affect multiple organ systems, occurring predominantly in
young women rather than men. People with lupus produce abnormal antibodies in their blood which
target tissues within their own body, rather than foreign infectious agents. Because the antibodies and
accompanying cells of inflammation can affect tissues anywhere in the body, lupus has the potential to
affect a variety of areas. Common manifestations may include arthralgias and arthritis; malar (butterfly)
rash and other skin rashes; pleuritis or pericarditis, renal or CNS involvement; and hematologic
cytopenias. The precise reason for the abnormal autoimmunity that causes lupus is not known. Inherited
genes, viruses, ultraviolet light, and certain medications may all play some role.

ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition which, on affecting an individual, usually leads to an
intake of medicines for the rest of his life. At our clinics, we have had the experience of treating
numerous cases successfully with permanently beneficial results.
I give below an interesting case history- of the first case of ulcerative colitis I treated after I had
shifted from Mihijam to Kolkata.
One day in the early 1960s, a gentleman came to me at my 114A Ashutosh Mukherjee Road clinic
in Kolkata, and wanted to take me to his residence to see his son who was so ill that he could not
he brought along.
His son, suffering from blood dysentery, was passing stool with blood, and hospitalised for treatment
in London where he had been pursuing his legal studies. The doctors said that he was suffering from
ulcerative colitis, with eight inches of the colon ulcerated. They treated him with steroids which
gave him temporary relief only, and said his was a case for immediate surgery. The father's signature
was required for surgery; as this was not possible in London, they gave him very heavy doses of
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which gave him some immediate , but temporary, relief,
and sent him back to Kolkata, advising immediate admission to the School of Tropical Medicine
for follow up treatment and surgery. The doctors in London sent the full details of his case to
the School the doctors at which also advised immediate surgery after commencing treatment. His
condition deteriorated very fast after a warm water douche had been given. One day, his father was
called shortly after midnight to be told that his condition had worsened, making immediate surgery
imperative. His father was requested to sign for his consent to the surgery. On being told that there

124
 The Banerji Protocols: General Diseases

was no guarantee that his son would regain normal health after surgery, the father signed on a risk
bond and arranged for his son's discharge from the School ofTropical Medicine.
Being a believer in homeopathy, the father called two well-known homeopaths who examined his
son, and prescribed medicines which his son took for a week. As there was a further deterioration
in his condition, the father came to me and took me to his residence. I was then completely
unknown to the family, and had been referred to the father by someone as a "son of the famous
Dr. Pareshnath Banerji, who has recently commenced practice in Kolkata''. When I examined his
son, I saw him in an extremely emaciated condition, reduced to skin and bones, lying down with
folded legs which he could not straighten owing to severe pain in the lower abdomen. A bed-pan
was taken out from under his bed; there was a lot of blood and scrappings of the intestine in it,
and I was told that he had been passing such stool 20 to 24 times daily. His tongue was red as a
result of taking the Ayurvedic medicine Makaradhwaja which contains mercury, and is given to
patients at the last stage to rejuvenate the system. I was surprised that the homeopaths treating him
had allowed this. I advised cleaning the tongue and discontinuing the taking of Makaradhwaja.
I enquired about the food that he was being given, and was told that he was taking fruit juices,
barley water and fish soup. I asked the patient if he liked the food, and was told that he did not. I
advised him to take normal Bengali food, cooked with spices, and discontinue taking fruit juices
which induce loose motion, explaining to him and his father that the ulcer was in the last part
of the colon, and that whatever food was taken was digested long before it reached the ulcer. I
prescribed Cantharis 6C (two doses every two hours) for ulcerative colitis where scrappings of the
intestine are passed, throughout the day and night, but not if he slept at night, and one dose of
Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum 6C to combat the adverse effects of mercury.
The treatment I prescribed gave very good results within 7 days, with the stool becoming solid and
hard, a considerable increase in body weight, and no adverse effects whatsoever. I advised continuing
these medicines for 2 or 3 years, because there could be relapses, and I wanted to ensure that the
patient was completely free from ulcerative colitis. I also advised the patient to repon to me from
time to time. This he regularly did, to confirm that he was fit and healthy. His physical well-being
gave me the greatest possible satisfaction, and his success later as a legal practitioner only added to it.
The medicines we prescribe are as follows:

CHAPTER 3
RENAL FAILURE

RENAL FAILURE
We have done work on fearsome diseases such as chronic renal failure (CRF). On analysis of our
gathered data on the cases at our clinics treated with the "Banerji Protocols to Retard Progression
of Chronic Renal Failure·: we did a poster presentation in Puerto Rico, with Dr. Barbara Sarter,
PhD, RN, FNP-C, Associate Professor, Advanced Practice Programs, Hahn School ofNursing and
Health Science, University of San Diego.
On analysis of CRF cases in India, we found that approximately I 00,000 new cases were
diagnosed each year, with fewer than I Oo/o of all patients receiving renal replacement therapy. The
vast majority of patients starting hemodialysis die, or stop treatment, because of cost constraints
within the first three months, and about 5% of all patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD)
end up having a transplant. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of our protocols on
the course of CRF.
At our clinics, we have treated in excess of 4000 cases of chronic renal failure (CRF) at every stage
of the disease. We have observed that 75°/o-80% of these cases have a history of long continued

are static, and 15°.10 the of cases are aggravated or expired,
5%
while 10o/o of the cases have discontinued treatment.
From the current trend at our clinics, it is seen that the
number of renal failure patients are increasing day by day.
Due to this, from January 2012 to August 2012, we have treated more than 400 new renal failure
cases.

ACUTE RENAL FAILURE

Usually the sudden onset of worsening of the kidney function over hours to days results in
azotemia; in most of the cases, conicomedullary differentiation is well maintained in the kidneys,
and outward symptoms like edema, nausea, vomiting, hypertension, acute retention of urine,
anorexia, etc. are present.
Of the numerous cases which we have treated at our clinics, one cqncerned a 33-year~ old man
with a blood urea level of over 200 (normal: upto 40), and a serum creatinine level above 20
(normal: upto 1). His brother rushed him to our clinic straight from a hospital where he had been
discharged after doctors had given him no hope from treatment under conventional medicine.
Medicines based on our Banerji Protocols were started immediately, and, as reflected by serial
blood tests, there was a gradual improvement in his condition over a period of 6 months. He
continued taking our medicines for about one and a half years, and his urea and creatinine levels
became completely normal. Till today, nearly 15 years since he was cured, he brings along other
patients suffering from various ailments.

CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE

Chronic kidney disease is the long~standing, progressive deterioration of the renal function, and it
is rarely reversible. Chronic kidney disease is identified by a blood test for creatinine. Higher levels
of creatinine indicate a falling glomerular filtration rate and, as a result, a decreased capability of
the kidneys to excrete waste products. The condition is discovered if urinalysis (testing of a urine
sample) shows that the kidney is allowing the loss of protein of red blood cells into the urine.
Symptoms develop slowly, and include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, dysgeusia, nocturia,
lassitude, fatigue, pruritus, decreased mental acuity, muscle twitches and cramps, water retention,
malnutrition, GI ulceration and bleeding, peripheral neuropathies and seizures.

BLOOD PRESSURE

BLOOD PRESSURE
The importance of hypertension
According to the medical dictionary, hypertension is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the
force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as it flows through them. Arteries are the blood
vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body's tissues. It is said that its effects
cannot be underestimated in modern-day life, with the rising incidence of strokes, coronary heart
failure and renal failure which generally shorten life expectancy. The time has come to evaluate the
correctness of this statement.
Blood pressure varies with age, sex, race, and from country to country. For clinical purposes, in
the case of a young male, a diastolic blood pressure above 100 and a systolic blood pressure of 160
may be considered definitely hypertensive; a diastolic blood pressure above 95 may be considered
probably hypertensive. According to a definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), a
blood pressure of 160/95 or over is deemed abnormal, whUe 140/90 to 160/95 is to be regarded
as 'borderline'. It has been recommended that blood pressure be taken three times, and the mean
 Blood Pressure

of these three readings be used to indicate normality or abnormality. For purposes of prognosis,
systolic blood pressure is more relevant than diastolic or mean arterial pressure.
According to Clinical Cardiology: New Frontiers, 2000, published by the American Heart Association
lnc, Carretero et al, essential, primary, or idiopathic hypertension is defined as high blood pressure
in which secondary causes such as renovascular disease, renal failure, pheochromocytoma,
aldosteronism, or other causes of secondary hypertension or Mendelian forms (monogenic) are
not present. Essential hypertension accounts for 95°/o of all cases of hypertension. This generally
means that in most cases, the cause of high blood pressure is unknown; these cases are known as
primary or essential cases. Blood pressure is determined by the product of the cardiac output and
the peripheral vascular resistance.
In discussing blood pressure and its probable causes, it may be noted that the observations made
by the WHO and other authorities are open to some doubt as they may not be applicable in the
case of all ethnic groups such as the Indian or Japanese populations. Observations such as these are
generally made in the USA or in European countries where most of the population is covered by
insurance schemes and have ready access to medical facilities. Observations made in such countries
may be overrated due to the fact that the doctors who report these observations rarely get untreated
cases which are actually the key to the study of "the natural history of the disease". Patients who
visit such doctors, whether they are 5 years old or SO, get their blood pressure checked at every
visit, whether required or not! And treatment is arranged for without any application of the clinical
expertise of the practitioner, because the insurance companies dictate it. In these cases, it is not
possible to make a correct assessment of the ill effects of high blood pressure.
However, in a country like India, where medical and insurance facilities are not available to the
vast majority of the population, and the expenses of medical treatment have to be borne by the
patients themselves, the regular checking of blood pressure and the regular intake of medicines, is
not possible owing to the non-availability of doctors as well as economic constraints. Since we have
observed and studied these untreated persons for 10 to 15 years, we have been better equipped to
be able to assess whether or not high blood pressure, particularly essential hypertension, is harmful
and, if it is harmful, the number of those afflicted as a percentage of the total number observed.
In the course of our medical practice in Kolkata since 1960, we have examined patients, given
medical advice and prescribed medicines to about 1000 to 1200 patients every day, with the help
of our assistant doctors; we have also been privileged to observe, and make keen observations on,
many diseases. ·our observations on patients with high blood pressure are different from those of
doctors engaged in present-day medical practice in the developed countries. We have observed that
patients with blood pressure as high as 180/100, 200/100, 200/110 and 2101110 for 20 years or
more have not suffered from ill health. Between 1995 and 2005, more than 1000 cases have been
studied by us, and we have observed that a subset of more than 200 patients with blood pressure
levels varying from 190/100 to 200/110 have all enjoyed normal health, with no Auctuations in
their blood pressure which has been stabilized by our treatment.

138
 Blood Pressure

At our clinics, we treat cases with our protocols as follows:

1. Rhus Toxicodendron 30C +Aconitum Napellus 200C, two doses daily (one dose =3 to 5 drops only),
2. Aconitum Napellus 9, two doses daily,
3. Rauwalfia Serpentina 9, two doses daily,
4. Glonoine 30C, two doses daily.

In treating such cases of essential hypertension, we constantly monitor if there are fluctuations
in blood pressure levels. If there are fluctuations, our treatment with homeopathic medicines is
aimed at stabilizing the blood pressure levels and making the patients symptom-free. Based on our
collective experience of over 50 years as practicing homeopaths, we have identified and developed
specific medicines for cases of essential hypertension. These medicines do not have to be taken by
patients for the rest of their lives; the patients are observed carefully, and their blood pressure levels
are checked till stability is ensured. When there are no fluctuations for one year, the medicines are
stopped, and the patients continue enjoying good health.
As bodily strength and the strength of the muscular system varies from patient to patient, so does
the strength of cardiac muscles. This being so, there are persons with cardiac muscles strong and
competent enough to bear high blood pressure which may be considered normal for them. We feel
that the arbitrary and routine measurement of blood pressure at any excuse, and the indiscriminate
prescription of medicines without a careful analysis as to the cause of the elevated blood pressure,
and to the possible consequences that may ensue by the use of those drugs are most unscientific
and injurious to health.
The conventional approach to the medical treatment of any disease consists of:
1. Kill it = antibiotics
2. Poison it = antibiotics
3. The immune system is reacting! Stop it, because it does not know how to protect the human
animal = give steroids, will kill the natural immunity of the patient, thus "protect them"!!
4. Burn it = radiation
5. Make the system toxic, so that it is deadly to the disease = chemotherapy
So, the conventional attitude towards disease actually believes that there cannot possibly be any
effective treatment that is acting in reverse, like homeopathy which seeks to activate immune
response. As the cause of blood pressure is not known in 95o/o of patients, and moreover, physicians
do not focus on the patients, but on the effects as they try to lower the blood pressure to what
they consider the "normal range" for all people, the treatment delivered leads to a multitude of
problems. As mentioned earlier, we do not think that the "normal range" is the same for all people.
To understand this, we need to realize how the "normal range" is arrived at. From the population,

139
 Blood Pressure

pick a 100 or a thousand persons without prejudice, and have them fill up a questionnaire,
as below:

1. Do you feel dizzy?

2. Do you have vertigo?
3. Do you get neck pain?
4. Have you ever had any episodes of unconsciousness?
5. Are you prone to anger?
6. Do you smoke?
7. Do you drink?
8. Do you get lapses of memory?
9. Tell us about the stress factors in your life .. .!
There are more than 100 questions.

When the answers match the result sheet, the subjects are deemed to be eligible for being part
of the study group: the results of their measured blood pressure are added up and divided by the
number of persons selected ... and that is the so called "average presswe'', or also advertised as the
desired "normal blood pressure". In this group exists individuals with a blood pressure of 90/60,
as well as those with 200/110. So, what is "normal" when the study population consists of these
extremes? 120/80 averages the group so . . . do you have a blood pressure of 120/80? If not, you
need medicines.

The Properties of the Ideal Antihypertensive Agent

• Effective
• Effective over 24 hours with once-a-day dosing
• High response rate; works well in all subgroups of hypertensive patients
• No side effects
• No metabolic side effects
• Affordable (reduces the cost of treating the patient)

Since it is very difficult to achieve the ideal situation with monotherapy, attempts have been made
to create a more ideal treatment for hypertension by combining complementary drugs in low doses.
Ref: Combination Drug Therapy in the Treatment of Hypertension: Properties of the Ideal
Antihypertensive Agent by Neutel et al, 2002.

140
 Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is generally lowered with the use of allopathic drugs under the conventional systems
of medicine in two ways:

• by dilating the arteries by Beta blocker drugs, so that blood flows easily, thus lowering blood
pressure; and
• by diuretics, i.e., drugs which help produce more urine by whipping the kidneys.
Based on our experience, we feel that dilating the arteries by Beta blocker drugs may produce
cardiac enlargement in many persons, since the heart is actually an integral part of the arterial/
venous system; moreover, in many patients, the kidneys cannot tolerate the whipping action of the
drugs which help produce urine, with the result that chronic renal failure is a natural conclusion.
These adverse effects apart, the recognized bad effects of conventional drugs used for the control
of hypertension are:

• the lowering of potassium, sodium and calcium levels;

• hyperuricemia, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia;
• impotence and sexual weakness;
• excessive urination;
• renal dysfunction which may cause chronic renal failure and/or renal stones;
• hormonal imbalances which sometimes cause gynacomastia and hirsutism;
• palpitation, headaches, drowsiness, etc;
• hepatitis, hemolytic anemia;
• depression, nightmares;
• nasal blockages; and
• salt and water retention which produces edema (swelling).

It is our advice that sudden withdrawal of the conventional/allopathic blood pressure drugs should
not be done. It can cause an unpredictable and sudden rise of blood pressure which may cause
cerebro-vascular accidents (CVA) in many cases. The drugs should be withdrawn very slowly: we
advise to reduce the drugs at the rate of JA the doses every month, that is, to stop the drugs in the
course of 4 to 5 months.

A PROTOCOL OF ULTRADILUTE
MEDICINES FOR APPLICATION
IN SPACE MISSIONS AND
EXTRATERRESTRIAL
SETTLEMENTS
Dr. Prasanta Banerji and Dr. Pratip Banerji
The text below was presented by Drs. Prasanta and Pratip Banerji as a paper
~'Possible Use of Ultradilute Medicines for Health Problems during Lunar Missions" at the Rutgers
Symposium on Lunar Settlements, organized at the Rutgers University, USA, in June, 2007.

Abstract:
Conventional medicines create significan~. problems in addressing health problems in zero and
microgravity extraterrestrial environments. This paper explores whether ultradilute medicines with
proven efficacy may possibly be used without these problems in such environments. Its purpose
is to arouse interest among the scientific community in the potential of these medicines so that
rigorous research might be conducted in simulated space environments. We have classified some
ultradilute medicines into different groups according to their potential effectiveness in treating
common health problems found in extra terrestrial environments. Some clinical data documenting
their effectiveness in both preventing and treating similar health problems at our clinic is
presented. Finally, protocols for use before, during and after a space flight are proposed, based
 The Banerji Protocols

on the groupings we developed. Our classification has been done according to the proven efficacy
of specific ultradilute medicines on specific health problems in earth-bound human beings, and
is guided by our long clinical experience in treating over one thousand patients a day with these
medicines at our clinic.

1 INTRODUCTION
In the very near future, there will be a significant increase in the space faring population, which
will ultimately assume monumental numbers with the crystallization of the lunar habitat. The
commissioning of the lunar habitat will also greatly increase the duration of travel and period of
stay in hostile environments in space and on the moon.
Conventional medicines face significant handicaps in addressing health problems in zero and
microgravity extraterrestrial environments for a number of reasons. Blood levels of medications
may not be predictable usin g earth-based data. Also, the complex fluid shifts and changes in
electrolyte balance that occur during a space flight and habitation in reduced G environments
make distribution of conventional drugs consistently abnormal[!] . In the zero or microgravity
of extraterrestrial environments, altered gastrointestinal emptying and intestinal transit rates lead
to erratic plasma levels and inefficient absorption of conventional medicines considering the
dimensionless ratio of gravitational forces to viscous forces[l, 2].
In space, there are problems of dispersion, solubility, absorption, availability at tissue level,
metabolism and excretion of drugs including problems of recycling and disposal[!]. Thus, it is
obvious that the scope of use of conventional medicines in space may be greatly limited due to the
above factors.

150
 A protocol of ultradilute medicines for application in space missions and extraterrestrial settlements

The concept of ultradilute medicines has been in existence starting from the ancient medical
texts of China and India (about 3000 B.C.), Hippocrates (400 B.C.), Paracelsus (1500 A.D.)
and Hahnemann (1800 A.D.). Although initial experiments were done upon equine and caprine
populations, later it was introduced in the treatment of human subjects. However, treatment with
ultradilute medicines went into obscurity only to resurge in recent times. Ultradilute medicines
are nontoxic, non addictive, low cost and easily administrable. These medicines are prepared
by a unique process of serial dilution beyond the micro~level (10~6) of different plant extracts,
biological materials and minerals. They have an extended shelf life, are absorbed through the
oral mucosa and are believed to have effects on cellular function that are independent of normal
pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic principles. The emerging disciplines of complexity,
nanosdence, and materials science[3] seem to be more appropriate for explaining how ultradilute
medicines exert their effects, despite minimal to negligible quantities of the active ingredients as
measured by conventional instruments[4]. Although the real mechanism of their action is still
under investigation, according to past and present workers in the field, one mechanism might be
through the nerve receptors on the tongue[S]. At present, we do not have a good understanding
of their mechanisms of action. A recent article offered testable and credible hypotheses about the
ability of ultradilute solutes to alter the structure of water through epitaxy coupled with succussion
(vigorous shaking) generating pressure and nano bubbles leading to properties markedly different
than those of untreated water. Epitaxy is the transmission of structural information from the
surface of one material (usually a crystalline solid) to another (usually but not always a liquid)[3].
We do have ample evidence of the effectiveness of ultradilute medicines in treating a wide variety
of health disorders and diseases[6].
Ultradilute medicines can be used easily in space as they are expected to be the least affected by zero
gravitation; different types of radiations and the transient thermal changes that are encountered during
space missions. This creates a scope and possibiliry to exploit their use in space medicine where various
factors limit the pharmacodynamics of all available conventional drugs. Due to the hostile environments
faced during exploration and journey into space, the primary concern in such missions is to maintain
the integrity of our space travelers' minds as well as their bodies in these inhospitable conditions. This
paper presents our perspective based on a retrospective analysis of our results in treating a vast number
of problems simulating those encountered during space travel. In this paper, we will:

1. Present some clinical outcomes at our clinic using ultradilute medicines to treat and prevent health
problems analogous to those present in space travel.
2. Propose a group of ultradilute medicines for possible use in space and lunar settlements that should
be tested in simulated circumstances.
3. Suggest optimal doses and duration ofprevention and treatment in pre-flight, on board the space
ship, post-flight, and in lunar settlements.
4. Discuss the structural and functional requirements ofa prototype ultra-dilution medicine center on
the moon and its administration from earth.

151
 The Banerji Protocols

Overall, we will explore future prospects of ultradilute medicines in lunar settlements and during
travel through the lunar terrain.

SELECTION OF MEDICINES
We have selected medicines for different space symptoms under three categories; namely, first line,
second line and third line medicines. These selections were based on our vast experience in treating
similar ailments with ultradilute medicines over three generations of practice, extending to a period
of more than 100 years. In most of the cases, the regimens of treatment have been modified by
Dr. Prasanta Banerji, and that is why at present this approach is commonly known as the "Banerji
Protocols" by the scientific community. The Banerji Protocols have brought scientific acceptability
and opened a new horizon in treatment by ultradilute medicines. We have made some publications
and important presentations on these ultradilute medicines with significant success[?, 8].

SOURCES AND GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE MEDICINES

Our medicines are prepared according to the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia ofIndia and the British
Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia, and they are readily available in the market throughout the world. These
medicines were prepared using materials from various sources such as plants and minerals. For their
descriptions and methods of preparation, please consult the British Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia,
2nd edition, British Association of Homeopathic Manufacturers, 1999, or the Homoeopathic
Pharmacopoeia of India at http://www.rheinindia.com/hpllindex_l.php.

THE PROPOSED LIST OF MEDICINES FOR DISEASES IN SPACE

AND IN EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS
Different medicines were classified according to acute and chronic manifestations of different
health. problems as encountered commonly in space and in extraterrestrial environments. The
selected list of medicines arranged according to different health problems are given in Table 1 (for
acute problems) and in Table 2 (for chronic problems).

OUTCOMES OF TREATMENT OF VARIOUS PROBLEMS WHICH ARE

SIMILAR TO HEALTH HAZARDS WHICH MAY ARISE IN SPACE
AND IN EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS
We analysed the treatment outcomes of hundreds of patients suffering from similar problems
which are found in space and in extraterrestrial environments. Results are given in Table 3. It is
apparent that the first line medicines are effective in treating a wide variety of relevant acute and
chronic problems in over 60°/o to 90o/o of the cases.

OUTCOMES ON THE PREVENTIVE USE OF ULTRADILUTE MEDICINES

Patients who recovered after undergoing treatment with I line medicines were subsequently divided
51

into two groups. One group was given the same medicines in a preventive dose of once every 15
days, and another group was given placebo in similar dosage, and the results were compared. We

used as placebo Saccharum Lactis, which according to the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia ofIndia is
a purified, milky white, hard, crystalline substance soluble in five parts of water, optical rotation D
+55.3° free from fat, starch, alum, phosphates, NaCl and copper. Table 4 presents the differences
in outcomes between the treatment and control groups. Treatment with preventive doses resulted
in 2 to 4 times fewer recurrences than in the placebo groups.
Thus, in our practice, we have obtained excellent results with hundreds of patients suffering from
similar ailments as in space and on extraterrestrial environments (Table 3); similarly, we have
observed a significant beneficial role of these ultradilute medicines in preventing recurrences of
these health problems (Table 4).

DESCRIPTION OF TWO CASES TO SHOW THE REMARKABLE ACTION

OF ULTRADILUTE MEDICINES IN TWO DIFFERENT DISEASES
WHICH SIMULATE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN SPACE
We have treated many patients suffering from various problems that are similar to complications
which may arise in space and on extraterrestrial environments. Two of the most serious complaints
faced in space are the demineralization of bones due to zero G, and the likelihood ofbronchogenic
carcinomas resulting from exposure to lunar dust in prolonged space habitation. Below, we
describe two patients -one suffering from massive bony destruction due to an osteogenic sarcoma
(a malignant tumor originating from the bone), and the other suffering from a lung cancer. All
histological and radiological evaluations of these two patients before and after treatment with
ultradilute medicines is presented.
Below, we shift to a more detailed discussion of the health problems commonly encountered in
space, and explain how we developed specific formulations and protocols for space travelers based
on our earth-bound treatment of these problems.

ULTRADILUTE MEDICINES AND RADIATION HAZARDS

Radiation hazards are important problems enc~untered in space travel. Although Galactic
Cosmic Rays (GCR) consist of atomic nuclei mainly with protons {75°/o), it is the heavier
nucleus (1 o/o) only which is mainly responsible for energy deposition. Solar Energetic Particles
(SEP}, which consist mainly of protons and alpha particles, show less energy deposition
than GCR, but they have more flux activities from both GCR. The carcinogenic risk from
SEP exposure ranges between 4 and 15, as observed by the Space Studies Board[9]. In our
observations, we have found that our medicines have both curative and preventive roles in
combating carcinogenesis. This is also well supported by many cases of complete regression
of malignant tumors (for example, Case Nos. I and 2 above) which may be encountered in
space as hazards from long-standing radiation exposure. Research on the preventive use of these
medicines against radiation-induced malignancies should be a priority.

ULTRADILUTE MEDICINES AND HAY FEVER

In our study, we have also found that ultradilute medicines are also very effective in mitigating
allergic rhinitis or sinusitis, which simulates the initial caudal fluid shift that occurs in space
travel. Nasal congestion is a common response early in space flight[lO, 11]. On the moon
during the Apollo 17 mission, exposure to regolith containing fine particles of silica caused

158

Harrison Schmitt to suffer from "hay fever" after exposure to lunar dust. In addition to our data
presented above, other studies have demonstrated the efficacy of ultradilute medicines in allergic
rhinitis[l2] .

PROPOSED PREVENTIVE FORMULATION

OF COMBINED ULTRADILUTE MEDICINES
After thorough analysis of the treatment outcomes of different patients on earth suffering from
similar ailments in space travel, we have devised two combined medicines, PBHRF-1 and PBHRF-2,
for prevention of common health problems before and after the journey. Their compositions and
purposes are given below.
Following this classification, two combination medicines (PBHRF-1 and PBHRF-2) were
prepared. PBHRF-1 is to be administered to the astronauts from a week before the start of
the mission. It contains Lycopodium Clavatum 30C, Symphytum Officinalis 200C, Berberis
Vulgaris 200C, Nicotiana Tabacum 200C, Fluoricum Acidum 200C, Coffea Cruda 200C, Ruta
Graveolens 6C, Calcarea Phosphorica 3X, Kali Muriaticum 3X and Ferrum Phosphoricum 3X
in equal proportions. This combination medicine will prevent and alleviate different health
problems in travel to space, such as: mental stress, 'fluid shift' (stuffy nose, headache, facial
edema), bone loss, renal stone formation, destruction of anti-gravity muscles, motion sickness,
protection from radiation, destruction of RBC, immuno-suppression {due to reduced action of
lymphocytes), insomnia, etc. [10,11].
PBHRF-2 is prepared by combining Aconite Napellus 200C and Crataegus Oxyacantha
3X in equal proportions which will be used to prevent cardiac de-conditioning on return
to earth.

DOSAGEOFPBHR~1ANDPBHR~2
The optimised dose pattern for these medicines in relation to their duration of treatment was
analysed, and the following protocol is suggested:

• pre-flight: two pellets of PBHRF-1, twice daily at a 12-hour interval for a week preceding the journey.
• on board the space ship: two pellets of PBHRF-1, twice dai!J at a 12-hour interval during the journey.
• post-flight: two pellets of PBHRF-2, twice daily at a 12-hours intervalfor 2 days, beginning one
day before landing.
• in lunar settlements: medicines will be selected according to the chart of individual medicines,
and the dosage will be determined by the attending physician at the lunar settlement.

ULTRADILUTE MEDICINE CENTER ON THE MOON

We have further conceptualized the structural and functional requirements of an ultra-
dilute medicine center on the moon and its administration from earth in the following
way:
Inside the lunar settlement, a room may be dedicated for storage of medicines and providing
treatment facilities to lunar inhabitants, both tourists and long-term stay personnel, preferably in
the middle part of the atrium (Fig. 8). Facilities must be provided for direct communication to
the eanh control station for consultation, and special opinions to be taken from experts present at
the earth station. At the earth station, a similar area may be dedicated where some experts would
be there to give advice, and to solve any medical crisis which may happen in the lunar settlement.
Routine medicines may be taken by the astronauts in the spacecraft during the mission, and any
medical crisis may be solved as aforementioned.

PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ULTRADILUTE MEDICINES

IN LUNAR SETTLEMENTS AND DURING TRAVEL THROUGH THE LUNAR
TERRAIN
In future, explorations should be made in collaboration with prospective lunar industrialists to
manufacture all required medicines from indigenous materials on the moon. Research facilities
should be provided to discover new medicines from local sources. Drug trials should also be done
first on animals, then on humans. Drugs to improve immunity and prevent infections can easily
be developed to protect the population of the lunar colony from possible locally unique infections
from micro organisms.
The method of preparation of new ultradilute medicines has been standardized over the past
two hundred years into a relatively simple process that allows for the constant generation
of new medicines responsive to new internal and external threats to human health. In
short, one starts with either a known medicinal or other substance with known effects on
the human organism, or with an offending disease-producing agent from the surrounding
environment. Then it is serially diluted with ethanol and water in a way that creates a
biologically active ultradilute solution to produce a medicine of a standardized potency
(dosage). For example, since lunar dust has been found to evoke allergic reactions, in a
lunar drug manufacturing plant samples of lunar dust can be taken and converted into an
ultradilute medicinal formula that will be able to prevent or treat lunar dust allergy. This
process is roughly analogous to that of vaccination or inoculation of the human organism
with a minute amount of an offending substance in order to evoke an appropriate immune
response against that substance.

CONCLUSION
From time immemorial, the moon has been close to the human heart. Ever since man first
looked up into the sky with intelligence enough to understand that the moon was more than
just a picture, the desire to touch it has inspired humankind in different ways. In aesthetic,
astronomical, astrological and, more recently, in analytic physicochemical ways of the modern
sciences, not necessarily in chronological order, mankind has been inspired by this .circling
orb.
Even before modern scientific explorations, human beings exploited the moon in their
literature, mental expressions and in astronomical pursuits. We can compare present
explorations of the moon to the exploration of the extreme depths of an ocean. & a puppet
made of salt is utterly unstable in an ocean, human beings are as unstable in the hostile
environments of space and extraterrestrial terrains. Thus it is our primary duty to maintain
the integrity of our body as well as our life in these inhospitable conditions, perhaps with the
help of ultradilute medicines.
We have argued above that there is great potential for the application of ultradilute medicines in
space and extraterrestrial environments. Further research in simulated environments is a necessity
in order to explore this exciting possibility.

 Acknowledgments
THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A BOOK. This is an initiative to provide a degree ofwellness and
comfort to humankind. Our acknowledgments must thus transcend the act of literary finesse. We
are sure that we will miss some important persons whose contributions have been monumental
in this endeavor, but they too have a place in this initiative and we apologize in advance for this
lapse on our part. The list is actually endless, and we have only managed to capture those who
immediately come to mind. We hope to be forgiven for this by anyone whom we have missed.
1. The patients, for allowing us the privilege of treating them during their illnesses, and, in the
process, teaching us all we know about various diseases and enriching us with more experience,
thus helping us to develop and fine-tune the treatment protocols.
2. All the assistant doctors, as well as the support staff, at our clinics, who have played a major role in
minimizing our workload in our main occupation - that of alleviating the suffering of our patients.
3. Mrs Nabanita Ghosal for all her support and for accompanying us on our tours all over the
world and helping us to acquire the right present-day perspectives.
4. Mr. Sujoy Ghosh and Ms. Arundhati Gupta without whom truly the book would never have
come to fruition- for they undertook the preparation of its text, on the basis of data, additions
and alterations made available at various times. Sujoy drove us, exhorted us, threatened us,
edited, corrected, and followed up the whole process and, at the last instant, even took the pain
to correct and edit the whole manuscript in hardcopy! He would land up like clockwork, at
every Sunday research meeting and just sit... silently asking for the next installment, so that he
could do his magic. If there are any typos and errors, this is because of our amateur efforts in
our attempt to become authors, and no fault of his.
5. Mr.Tapas Sarkar, the architect of our data recording software. It is due to this database that we
can produce evidence of the marvelous action of our treatment.
6. Mr. Avijit Sen, for having more information at his fingertips about our success in treating
patients than we could ever have, being in control over our data management system. His speed
and efficiency in providing suitable cases and their documentation is what added to the wealth
of the book.
7. Dr. Gobinda Chandra Das, for constructive criticism and his tremendous help in putting
together the protocols for each disease and for always being there, whether as a sounding board
for ideas, or a support.
8. Dr. Apurba Dey, for his help in editing the protocols, and for taking on the unenviable job of
correcting the myriad of medicine spellings in this manuscript.

9. Ms. Mahashweta Roy, for setting up our website which has greatly popularized our protocols by
making information available to the general population as well as to the medical community.
Our website has received visitors from over 146 countries so far, and this number is rising every
day.
10. Dr. Barbara Sarter, about whom we can never have enough to say. Most of the statistical
information, including the Kaplan-Meier Curves, was her idea, and further than that, she
worked as hard as us in constructing the manuscript. Her contribution in taking the Banerji
Protocols to the next level, in terms of being the engineer of the consortium for research,
needs acknowledgment. Barbara is instrumental in more ways than several in bringing us into
mainstream research. We acknowledge that her contribution has enhanced our deliverance,
and enriched the final creation that the Banerji Protocols are.

11. For Dr. Naomi Aschner, we must take our hats off for her support in editing the manuscript.
12. Ms. Asuncion Pastor Cuartero (Susi) for creating a platform for patients, doctors and
researchers in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, to spread awareness about the
Banerji Protocols.
13. Dr. Wayne Jonas, for being the first to make us aware that we had something to contribute
to science and medicine. It is due to his "finding us out" that we ventured into the world
of data validation. He challenged us to get together our first Best Case Series (BCS) saying,
"We know you can cure cancer, but your data won't satisfy the NCI"; he inspired us to put in
place a system acceptable to the scientific community. This has taken us to that next level, and
we are grateful.
14. Dr. Jeffrey D. White, for his unstinting support and the enthusiasm with which he scrutinized
our BCS on cancer. More than that Jeff has always been ready to offer any help through the
NCI'sOCCAM.
15. Dr. Anil Srivastava, the 'Magician', for his help in finding ways to take forward collaborative
research, and building bridges between us and like-minded scientists throughout the US.
There is no one whom Anil does not know, and his unreserved help is much appreciated.
16. Dr. Sen Pathak, Dr. Subrata Sen, Dr. Sushanta Banerjee, Dr. Snigdha Banerjee, Dr. Donald
Campbell and Dr. Arup Bhattacharya, for their never-ending ideas and thoughts as to our
strengths and how to present them in a scientifically acceptable way.
17. Dr. Torako Yui, who is herself an institution in Japan. She has planted the seed of homeopathy
in Japan only about 20 years ago, and it is already a towering tree. Her enthusiasm for our
protocols has resulted in two teaching seminars in Japan and has made them very popular
amongst Dr. Yui's school of homeopathy.

18. InTech, to acknowledge that a part of our cancer chapter has been published in the book
compilation A Compendium ofEssays on Alternative Therapy, edited by Dr. Arup Bhattacharya,
as the chapter entitled "Homeopathy: Treatment of Cancer with the Banerji Protocols,.,
published by InTech in January, 2012.
19. And if we fail to acknowledge the great contribution of our spouses, the late Mrs. Krishna
Banerji and Mrs. Rinku Banerji, and of course our children, then we would be, to say the
least, ungrateful. To live the life like ours, the family support is what actually allows us to do
what is our destiny.
