I think this would have been called Doctrine of Signatures at that time - Hahnemann developed homeopathy AFTER this - it was taken from a manuscript which reported the HERBAL use of this remedy by indiginous peoples in Sth America.

Most patients don't care - polypharmacy vs single remedy - so long as you still have a leg! In extreme cases extreme measures can be called for, this seems to be one such. Robert & Shannon Nelson wrote:On Jun 24, 2005, at 8:02 AM, Simon King wrote: OTOH it could have been a case of, "That p...

The diagnosis does not tell about the patients' experience of their symptoms. These need to be understood - and then repertorised - ie pain sensation, the inflammation, and so on. This might actually be a wound infection, despite the radiography. Remedies such as Bellis perennis, or Thiosinaminum ca...

I see this as sides of the same coin. I am the first one to uphold standards, indeed I am very critical of what I see as poor practice, but it is only my opinion - and I am open to exploring other perspectives. I certainly do not need a lecture on the beauty of Homeopathy - it is why I am a homeopat...

Wowo, what a stunner! Firstly I woudl have hoped that a practitioner would be more sensitive to this patient - and giv him some careful guidance in the direction of another therapist. I do not regard telling someone to go read Louise Hay as a professional move. Sure, go read it, see wht you think - ...

There are some very sensitive patients who do not acutally need to physically have contact with a remedy - I have treated 2 such people - like you, they just hold the bottle, and can feel the effect as it starts to work. So you are not alone! Regards Liz Jagannath Chatterjee wrote: Well, I am a very...
