Dear Mark, Sorry, I didn't get back to you. I realise that it is a potential minefield when people wave books such as those by Louise Hay, Caroline Myss, Detlefson, and Christine Page. To say that disease is a manifestation of 'spiritual decay' is bound to upset a lot of people and often they will h...

Dear Dr Swift, Your copy of Predictive Homoeopathy may have cured cases but mine certainly does not. My Chapter Seven is entitled 'Science of Genetic Constitutional Similimum.' It comprises of three very ungrammatical pages and not a case in sight. Which edition is yours? Mine is the Second Revised ...

Dear Piet I am grateful to the members of this group for bringing Predictive Homoeopathy to my attention. I have perused the contents of Volume One in spare moments. I am glad that Dr Vijayakar is trying to make further sense of the direction of cure. For instance, let us say a young patient comes w...

Dear Soroush, I totally agree about self-treatment. I would argue that our blind spot is what our personal disease is. Having said that I don't believe that it is 100% necessary to find a good homoeopath to get the bearings right. There are numerous ways to tackle the mountain. I have met numerous p...

Hi Dave, Echinachea, another massively used remedy, is also a good example. I have heard that even 'respected' sources in Germany have come to the conclusion that it is best taken for a couple of weeks on and then a period off (a week or so) before resuming. Without the respite it is accepted that i...

Dear Piet and anybody interested, I was asked what I meant when referring to disease being caused by spiritual decay. I would define this as a state of a lack of purpose - Where the patient has little or no awareness of why he/she is alive in the Here and Now. There would appear to be a deliberate r...

Dear Charlotte, and Piet and everybody, I do hope that I haven't given anybody the impression of being against Hering's Law because I am not. I would not want to replace it. The main thing is that I would rather it had been called a General Principle of the Direction of Cure - Something along those ...

Hi Piet, Thanks for your reply. My contention is that it is essential to be critical and avoid unnecessary dogmatism regarding cure. I HIGHLY recommend reading the article on www.homeopathy.ca/articles/heriing_law.html (note the unfortunate error in Hering's spelling). My experience is that as a gen...

I am worried to see the assumption that Hering's 'Law' is a long-standing. traditional tenet of homoeopathic philosophy. It is not! The phrase 'Hering's Law' does not appear in any of Kent's writings. He does mention Hering's 'rule' at one point - That is all. 'Hering's Law' as we know it is a MODER...

It is often stated that homoeopaths should not go overboard with signatures but quite honestly it is a lot of fun and helps you to remember the remedy. It gives you a line to hang the symptoms onto. We don't all have superhuman memories. Quite honestly I believe that the resurgence of homoeopathy ha...
