You keep telling us the read the GOOD books.
Would you mind listing those that are good in your opinion and explain why they are better than the others???

Hi ! Answer to : apexpreci2000@yahoo.co.in : today, I repeat today - 200
years later, in which severe and radical changes took place in
life/society/diseases, actually only Organon 6-th edition is the prime book somebody should start
with and it should be read with great care. Than, there are several other
materials from Hahnmenann which one should get in touch with, however the rest -
I mean the remedies - shoould be read in the old authors including Hahnemann
but also in the new ones, especially from the 20-th century. This knowledge is
in part in the new electronic repertories as well as in new books.
"Chronic diseases" is definitely history - great history, but history.
Kind regards, Dr medic V.V.Bucur ( www.dr-bucur.com).

Hi Dr. Bucur,

In view of your remarks below, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this
point: In the Organon Hahnemann says that symptoms to prescribe on are
those that reflect the change *from the patient's prior state of good
health* (or words similar). My question has been, What about a patient who
has *never* had a state of good health, where you are attempting to cure an
imbalance which has been present from birth? In other words, a "miasmatic"
illness? It has been my understanding that this is exactly where the
information in CD becomes useful, as it provides guidelines to evaluate a
state of health that *differs from optimal*, not merely from a supposed
prior state of health. What do you think?

Hi Dr Bucur,

you wrote "Chronic diseases" is definitely history -

Is it not fact, rather than history ? When you mean
modern books the symptoms in modern reps, incl
electronic are just not complete. For example, in a
case I got the clinching mental sx of 'irritable
though cheerful' of silicea from Chronic diseases
only.
Every materia medica is but an incomplete version of
Ch dis. I read Jeremy Sherr saying' You can hardly
count 25 decent provings since Hn' also this, ' All
the remedies he proved became polychrests not because
they were important but by the thoroughness of the
proving'.

I look at Hn as a great dr and medical philosopher.
Just that. He was human. He might have erred. He was
not a saint or god. He is too much of a genius than
all the present Drs combined.

Regards
Venkat

Dear Listee
I think first we should differ between local application and
external application. What do we mean by external application? It
seems that the meaning is: remedy application through skin (healthy
skin of an unaffected organ) Then it is better to know it as an
approach to affect vital force as a whole, it is like application of
a remedy through inhaling. When we want to approach to vital force
we may use from any organ (unaffected organ), this organ may be
mouth and tongue, respiratory system or skin. But when the patient
suffers from symptoms in one of these organs, we shouldn't apply a
remedy through there, because our aim is to affect vital force, not
organs. The reason has been discussed by other listees. For example
we can use a remedy through skin (as described in CD, thanks
Rosemarry) if the skin or the part is unaffected. Or we can use
another remedy through the respiratory system (inhaling) if the
respiratory system is not affected. Thus in case of bronchitis we
are not allowed to use inhaling system. On the other hand in case of
buccal trauma it is better to use arnica through skin or inhaling
system. According to Organon we should only affect vital force and
let it begin the healing process. If we apply a remedy locally (not
externally, I mean locally and it means in the location of the
symptoms) the remedy may hide the symptoms without restoring health
to vital force. It means that: "Local application is forbidden,
external application if is not in the location of disease is allowed"
There is an exception for local application. If we applied a remedy
internally (orally or inhaling) or externally on skin of unaffected
organs and vital force is repairing but the organization (the static
feature of dynamic imbalance in vital force) is advanced, we are
permitted to use LOCAL application beside the internal application
(or external one on unaffected skin).
It means in a case of fig wart if we applied the similimum (for
example thuja) and if the vital force respond well, we can use thuja
cream or solution on the warts. Here is the quote from CD:
"The gonorrhoea dependent on the figwart-miasma, as well as the
above-mentioned excrescences (i.e., the whole sycosis), are cured
most surely and most thoroughly through the internal use of Thuja,*
which, in this case, is Homoeopathic, in a dose of a few pillets as
large as poppy seeds, moistened with the dilution potentized to the
decillionth† degree, and when these have exhausted their action
after fifteen, twenty, thirty, forty days, alternating with just as
small a dose of nitric acid, diluted to the decillionth degree,
which must be allowed to act as long a time, in order to remove the
gonorrhoea and the excrescences; i.e., the whole sycosis. It is not
necessary to use any external application, except in the most
inveterate and difficult cases, when the larger figwarts may be
moistened. every day with the mild, pure juice pressed from the
green leaves of Thuja, mixed with an equal quantity of alcohol."

I think the issue is not to hide the vicarious symptoms as
alleviation for vital force and also as a disease marker.
