Experiment

[Soroush Ebrahimi]

Wasn't Kent's personal health problems due to the fact that he had done too
many self proving without perhaps waiting long enough to be at the peak of
health before trying another remedy?

I was thinking of how much us homeopaths tend to
disagree when taking a case, and how much it bothers
me...
Is there anyone willing to make a collective
experiment?
Like, posting a case and comparing our individual rx
results?

That does not bother me at all.......because:
- we all come from different backgrounds with different experiences
- we all have different priorities, educations and belief systems in what is
primordial in a patient and his/her cure
- we all see a patient through the prism of our own imbalances.

But what is even more important when selecting a remedy is that we are
talking about finding a similar remedy, not an identical one.

By definition, being similar means very closely resembling, therefore being
somewhat different is an inherent part of being similar.
So the same remedy will be the similar for different patients even though
those patients are obviously different in many aspects of their dis-eases,
but by the same token the same dis-ease in the same patient can be similarly
but not identically, covered by different remedies.

Take a breath......

In other words, when you read the MM of Ignatia and Nat Mur, you see the
differences clearly; often, like in a recent case of mine, the symptoms
given, extracted, seen, by and from the patient were few and all perfectly
covered by BOTH remedies. As I do not do kinesiology or pendulum or ART, to
me both were simillimums with different differences but very wide common
grounds. I gave one, patient was better, gave the other, patient was even
more better".
Some would say I missed the *real* simillimum.... maybe, but I do not think
so; others would say if I had given the second remedy first, I would not
have had the need to give the first....maybe, we will never know.

To link this with other threads, in acute situations I often find the same
situation, but worse: detailed common symptoms, few if any at all modalities
and concomitants, 2, 3 or 4 remedies seem to cover everything, each of them
equally indicated.
In an ideal situation (treating my family), I would give one, wait, change.
With patients, I cannot keep them for 6 to 8 hours in my waiting room, so I
give them the remedies either separately and instruct them to alternate them
until amelioration or mix them all in the same bottle.
Classical? definitely not.
Effective? absolutely.
My choice? I prefer to be effective.

Dr.Rozencwajg-
for your words> " mix them all in the same bottle"
The HHIS ( Hogwart's Homeopathic Inquisition Squad) is going to
rewrite your slogan as
"The greatest enemy of OUR science is a closed bottle- with mixed
medicines"

Hahaha...

For that insolence you will have to appear in front of the Hogwart Council

That philosophy works well for me too. Nature, the Universe, insert higher being of your choice, did not provide just one correct solution to each problem. When you read the provings of all the new remedies, Ginseng, Lotus, Dolphin's Milk, etc. you can see how they overlap with other remedies. Most remedies, if well proven, do, as the Supreme Sorcerer points out. Just read the Differentials in any Materia Medica. Nature does not make things that difficult, maybe there is just one "similimum" for that patient, maybe it hasn't been made into a remedy yet. If you knew that was the case would you give up or try other similars? Something will work for them, I don't believe "nature" would have it any other way.

10 points to Griffindor.

This has often been done on this list and the Homeopathic Symposium had
some great Team Effort cases with contributions from around the world
as well. I always liked doing this.
