Late Kalipada Banerjee was born in a town near Calcutta in the year 1846. After completion of basic studies, he became interested in Homoeopathy and started studying Homoeopathy of his own accord. At that time there was no Homoeopathic Colleges in Calcutta. After acquiring knowledge in the Homoeopathic science, he started practicing Homoeopathy in his native hometown. Gradually his reputation fell around. At that time a German Homoeopath, named Dr. L. Salzer, M.D. was practicing Homoeopathy in the city of Calcutta and have had a good reputation. Late Kalipada Banerjee consulted him for one of his difficult cases. Dr. Salzer was much impressed to see the prescription that have already been made by Kalipada Banerjee and opined to continue the treatment in the same line. Later Dr. Salzer took him as his Clinical Assistant and also as an interpreter; as Dr. Salzer was not acquainted with local Bengali language, which hindered him a lot to take case histories. Later Kalipada Banerjee started a Homoeopathic Chemist shop at Calcutta where Dr. Salzer attended as Consultant Physician. Dr. Kalipada Banerjee practiced Homoeopathy for 38 years. His Philosophy was single remedy given according to Hahnemannian dispensing directives (Single Globule e.g. § F.N. 246, 5th Ed. and § 275 6th Ed.; Poppy Seed Sized e.g. Foot Notes of § 153, 155 and 285, 5th Ed.; and dispensing in water e.g. § 288, 5th Ed. and § 246, 272, 6th Edition of Organon of Medicine) and waits and watches for reaction!

The most successful clinician and a lecturer of world-wide reputation of ‘Homoeopathic Banerjea’ family, Dr. Subrata Kumar Banerjea, the Gold-Medalist of Calcutta University.

Dr. Subrata Kumar Banerjea, is one of the most promising Homoeopaths now settled in England, who have already achieved many laurels and crowns!

Born at Calcutta, on 6th September 1957, in a family of Homoeopathic legends for the last 3 generations, and this being the root cause of his deepest regards and dedication to Homoeopathy, the rational art of healing.

Dr. Subrata Kumar Banerjea has 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 is the first Homoeopathic Graduate from the said 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 at 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 very popular for introducing the Live Materia Medica and incorporation of Miasm 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!

It is also remarkable that Dr. Banerjea, being the first Indian and also the First Foreign Homoeopath, who has been 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.

These days, Dr. Subrata K. Banerjea only periodically visits India to run consultant clinics there (where heavy pathology like advance 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, and every generation pass their wisdom, intuition and clinical gems to the next, which evolves an incredible practical and clinical intuition in Homoeopathic Prescribing. His Philosophy is adhering to the Classical techniques of his three generations of ‘Homoeopathic Ancestry’ along with `Look and Diagnose' the remedy from gestures and postures of the person which gives him an unadulterated picture; and in this modern world of suppression which results diseases with very few manifestations (e.g. One sided diseases: Section 173: Insomnia, Fatigue etc.), he opens the case through peeling of the Miasmatic layers!

When he visits India, sees so many patients in so little time (viz. 15 patients in an hour) in outpatient's clinics that his Homoeopathy evolves into a rare combination of a great learning of Comparative Materia Medica coupled with profound intuition and application of clinical tips and wisdom. More importantly, he has the ability to teach the kind of prescribing, that his practice demands.
