Subrata Kumar Banerjea – BHMS, FFHom FHMA, Homoeopath and Lecturer
Born: 6th September 1957.
Born in Calcutta, in a family of Homoeopathic legends for the last 3 generations, he has had the utmost dedication to Homoeopathy, the rational art of healing.
Dr. Subrata Kumar Banerjea successfully completed his schooling career in a serene divine atmosphere of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda’s philosophy, from Ramakrishna Mission Ashram, Narendrapur and was creditably placed in the First Division.
His medical academic accomplishments crowned him with many coveted distinctions and records at the University of Calcutta. He was the first Homoeopathic Graduate from Calcutta University after 5 years of intensive and integrated full-time degree curriculum with a record of securing honours marks (more than 75%) in nine subjects and became eligible for five University Gold Medals, having secured the highest marks in the entire University, in those subjects.
He maintained the unbeaten record of securing first position throughout his medical academic career with some scholastic records at the University, securing 93% of marks in the final graduation examination of Materia Medica (oral part).
His first printed publication appeared in 1981 when he was just 24 years of age, under the title of “Synoptic Memorizer of Materia Medica (two volumes)”, introducing a unique mnemonical expedient in Materia Medica and attended a wide popularity; which was indicated by the fast exhaustion of the first edition of the book.
Besides this, his Guide to Materia Medica, Pictorial Charts like “Mr. & Mrs. Psora Chart”, Aggravation Chart, etc., and his latest book “Miasmatic Prescribing”, has achieved immense popularity in the homoeopathic world.
As a lecturer too, he is well known for making Materia Medica come to life and incorporating miasmatic theory in every case for clinical prescribing. Amongst his international lecture commitments, he has the proud privilege to lecture several times in almost all the countries of the world where Homoeopathy exists!
Dr. Banerjea was also the first Indian and the first foreign Homoeopath, to be invited to lecture on Miasmatic Prescribing and its Philosophy at the Kiev Academy of Medical Sciences, Soviet Russia in April 1990 and also to Nigeria in 1992.
He is the Director of Bengal Allen Medical Institute, and International Teaching Division of the Bengal Allen Homoeopathic Medical College, which was founded by his grandfather. The Bengal Allen Medical Institute has been running Clinical Training Programmes for overseas Homoeopaths since 1986.
These days, Dr. Subrata K. Banerjea only periodically visits India to run consultant clinics (where heavy pathology like advanced cases of Cancer; Nephrotic syndrome, Demyelinating disorders etc. are treated) .
In India and many of the overseas countries where he has lectured, he was acclaimed as the only thorough teacher on Miasms and Comparative Materia Medica. A fourth generation Homoeopathic physician, where through every generation wisdom, intuition and clinical gems have been passed on from one to the other. His Philosophy adheres to the Classical techniques of his previous three generations, along with his classic ‘Look and Diagnose’ techniques to find the remedy from the gestures and mannerisms of the individual. He also places great emphasis on the peeling of miasmatic layers in today’s modern world, where suppression and one-sided diseases are rife.
When he visits India, he tends to see a huge number of patients in a short amount of time. Therefore his combination of comparative materia medica skills coupled with profound intrusion and application of clinical tips, leads to strong and successful prescriptions.
Dr. Subrata K. Banerjea is currently the Principal of Allen College of Homoeopathy in Essex, England, established in 1998, alongside running a busy practice and playing an active role in the running of the Calcutta Mobile Clinic Charity.
