Ishanchandra’s son Pareshnath Banerji (1891-1971) imbibed the values of both his father and his illustrious uncle, and himself became a legend.
A serious student of chemistry and homeopathy both before and after his graduation, Pareshnath, like his father and uncle, became well known for his commitment to serving the poor.
in 1918, he based himself at Mihijam, not too far away from Karmatar, where he invented Lexin – a drug for treating snakebites, the use of which became widespread in and outside India, and earned him enough money to meet not only the needs of his family, but also to offer free treatment and medicines to the thousands of poor people who came to him, many of them also being served food cooked in the Banerji kitchen!

Pandit Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar spent the last 18 years of his life from 1873 to 1891 at Karmatanr, now in Jharkhand, which is about 57 kilometres from Asansol on the main line of the Asansol – Sitarampur – Jasidih – Patna route of the Eastern Railway. Lying between Madhupur and Jamtara, Karmatanr’s railway station now bears his name – ‘Vidyasagar’.
Even though he was one of the legendary figures of the 19th-century Bengal renaissance as a social reformer, educationist, humanitarian and philanthropist, his life in Kolkata had been full of stresses and strains… with the society’s opposition to his endeavours aimed at the well-being of women causing the greatest distress. Moreover, there was a breakdown in his health too, following a serious liver injury sustained in 1866 in a horse carriage accident. He wanted to retire to some place outside Kolkata where he could rest, live in solitude and get mental peace, and wrote about his decision to all his near and dear ones.
Pandit Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar (1820 – 1891) was one of the legendary figures of the 19th century Bengal renaissance, as an academist, social reformer, humanitarian and philanthropist. It has been impossible to properly assess his greatness, and the importance of his achievements.
At a time when Pandit Vidyasagar’s 200th birth anniversary is being celebrated, it would be interesting to point out that he played a pioneering role in the development of the practice of homeopathy as a system of medical treatment as well.
Sometime in the 1850s, Pandit Vidyasagar suffered from migraine, and was successfully treated with homeopathic medicines prescribed by his friend and well-wisher Rajendralal Dutta after conventional medicines had failed. Rajendralal Dutta’s earlier successes with other patients were followed by his and Pandit Vidyasagar’s interactions with the well-known Dr. Mahendralal Sircar, who belonged to the conventional system of medical treatment and never believed in homeopathy. These interactions led to the ‘conversion’ of Dr. Sircar who switched over to homeopathy, with a number of other allopathic practitioners following his lead.

As one of the legendary figures of the 19th century Bengal renaissance, Pandit Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar (1820 – 1891) is best known for his remarkable achievements in the spheres of academics and social reform. On the one hand, his vast erudition and analytical brilliance helped him develop the right perspectives for an educationist and a social reformer; on the other, his qualities of head and heart helped him become a humanist and a philanthropist.
All these qualities also found reflection in something about which Pandit Vidyasagar is not too well known – his pioneering role in the development of homeopathy as a system of medical treatment, mainly for the benefit of people of small means and others unable to bear the high costs of conventional medical treatment.

Historically, Homeopathy has an excellent track record in the treatments of Epidemics / Pandemics. Homeopathic medicines are safe to use and we can expect very little, if any, side-effects as can be experienced by using other systems of medicine.

(Kindly Note, the doses of the medication has been updated , as in India, Covid19 is spreading fast).
Under 'The Banerji Protocols' of Treatment, with Homeopathic medicines, for prevention of nCorV ( Novel Corona Virus / Covid 19) the best medicine is 'Thuja 30'.
The suggested dose for this medicine will be , twice daily for 7 days, then twice a week for 3 weeks.

As Corona is a viral infection, and humans have no natural immunity against viruses, our approach to the treatment will be on the basis of symptoms. We have very good antiviral as well as medicines chosen according to symptoms. We are very successful in the treatment of measles, chicken pox and swine flu.
This is very similar and can be very successfully handled with our Protocols.

A February, 2000 research study found that the estimated number of people with undiagnosed thyroid disease may be 10 percent -- a level that is double what was previously thought. This may mean as many as 11 crore Indians are currently undiagnosed. Women are at the greatest risk, developing thyroid problems seven times more often than men. A woman faces as high as a one in five chance of developing thyroid problems during her lifetime. That risk increases with age and for those with a family history of thyroid problems.

When the gall bladder is surgically removed, the “gall bladder bile” (bile in which most of the inorganic anions, chlorides and bicarbonates have been reabsorbed) is lost and digestion becomes weak resulting in discomfort after eating fatty and fried foods. The solubility of cholesterol in bile depends upon the concentration of cholesterol, bile salts and lecithin. The most important mechanism in the formation of stones is increased biliary secretion of cholesterol. This may occur due to many reasons that cannot be pinpointed. If by oral homeopathic medication, the secretion of cholesterol is regulated and the density of bile is made normal then the stones melt. In some cases even if the disease is cured, i.e. the bile is made normal, the stones do not melt. By homeopathic medicines, the stones can be made to become silent and fixed in one place. The patients become symptom-free, for the rest of their lives.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which our body’s use of food for production of energy is affected. Most of the food we eat is carbohydrates, and this is broken down by the digestive juices into a simple sugar called glucose. Glucose is the main source of energy for the body. After digestion, the glucose passes into our bloodstream where it is available for body cells to use for growth and energy. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, facilitates the entry of glucose into our cells. When we eat, the pancreas is supposed to produce the right amount of insulin to move the glucose from our blood into our cells. In diabetics, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the body cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. Due to this, glucose levels rise in the blood, floods into the urine and passes out of the body, making the body lose its main source of fuel.
