The Banerji Protocols for Treatment of Common Health Problems
Dr. Sarter’s presentation will introduce the audience to the legacy of the Banerji Protocols, including a brief history of their development in India by the Banerji family across four generations, and their current world-wide reputation. Dr. Sartar has had the privilege of studying with the Drs. Banerji in Kolkata, India for six months in one uninterrupted stretch, followed by several shorter repeat visits to the clinic. The Banerji Protocols are disease-specific and potency-specific, and can be described in terms of their tissue/organ specificity as well. She will share with the audience after a general overview of these principles some of the protocols that she has found to be particularly effective for a variety of common problems encountered in the USA. Though in India the Banerji Protocols are chosen by many patients as primary treatment of virtually all cancers, and with remarkable success. This presentation, however, will not focus on this group of problems, given that in our country, treating cancer exclusively with homeopathic medicines is not legal.
Barbara Sarter is a Professor at Bastyr University’s California School of Naturopathic Medicine.
