Asclepius in the Balance 1 Asclepius - the Circus Clown

I do find it interesting that it is *now* that we have this suggestion of a
move to take combo remedies from the shelves. When so many *other*
potentially useful health care products (vitamins etc.) have been/are being
pulled from the shelves? The pharmaceutical companies are eager to have
just as many choices as possible eliminated...

Hi David,

I'd love you to talk more about this. By "one-sided modern
constitutionalists" are you referring to folks who practice only e.g. the
(?)Kentian style, placing emphasis on mentals and conditions of the entire
system, altho this might be unsuccessful in one-sided disease, or once
tissue changes have occurred? (I am guessing; please correct and expand as
you see fit!)

Would you say that Eizayaga's work provides a useful counterpoint to this
limitation, and/or who else should one read on the subject?
Thanks!

The action in acutes is fast; but to cure a specific complaint in the
context of constitutional treatment may of course *not* be fast! I assume
this is the type of situation that H2002 is referring to. (Which has
nothing to do with the issue of combos!)

Cheers,

Thanks, David

Ah, that is apparently what I've been calling "lifetime prescribers",
because they seem obsessed with finding the "lifetime remedy" and are
clueless about how to do anything else (and believe that anything else would
be beneath them). I've had some ***HORRIBLE*** frustration with several of
these folks!!! One had trained at the same -- very traditional "classical"
-- school that I did, but then became convinced that this "lifetime" thing
was better, and came to "not believe in" miasms and gave extremely limited
(read, "inadequate") use to nosodes. Ah, I shudders at the memory... So
that is a "one-sided constitutionalist"? Who started or currently advocates
this approach? I find it BIZARRE!!!!

I know that sometimes you *can* find a "lifetime remedy", and it's
marvellously convenient when you get it. But to have that as the *only*
tool, and advocate drugs over acute remedies? Lordy...
Okay, all this I understand, tho surely not as well as I could.
Okay, I think Burnett is who I need to read more of for now.
Thanks again!
