Okay, I can go with that. (Tho I was not associating "one-sided" with
anything to do with end-of life...)
Thanks!

? I sure have, don't know what you mean... Am I being thick, or are
you being "too subtle" again? :-)

Aph 177
To meet with success in [cases with "too few sxs", aka "one-sided"
cases] one should, at first, select the medicine that has been
homeoapthically singled out according to one's best estimation, guided
by these few symptoms. ...

Aph 180:
In this case ... the medicine [rx] will arouse accessory ailments ...
[and] will mix several befallments from its own set of sxs into the
condition of the patient. These befallments are, however, at the same
time, ailments of the disease itself, although they have rarely or
never been felt by the patient up until now.. Befallments that the pt
had not perceived at all before will disclose themselves, or
befallments that the pt had perceived only indistinctly will develop
themselves to a higher degree.

Aph 181
... One has to accept the entire symptom complex that has now become
visible as belonging to the disease itself, as the present true state,
and to further manage it accordingly. ...

Aph 183
Therefore, as soon as the first dose of the medicine produces nothing
further that is beneficial, new findings of the disease must again be
gathered, the status morbi [disease state] must be recorded as it is
now, and a second homeoapthic means must be selected that exactly fits
the present, the current state. This second means should be all the
more appropriate since the group of sxs has become more numerous and
complete."

Which I think is basically what I said!

Maybe I'm just being "picky" about that word "palliation" again...
And more likely, maybe I should just accept it for an observation and
never mind the "whys"!
:-)

Hi H.,
Keeping in mind, however, that Hahnemann at the time of writing his
Organon had very probably used LM potencies only for Sulfur. (If David
Little or Dr. de Schepper or Andre Saine, by reading the manuscripts -
I only have read 2 the published casebooks - have found other
instances where he used LM for other remedies before February 1842, I
should very much like to know in which casebook on which page)

In any case,, by far the greatest number of prescriptions, for Sulphur
and any other remedy up to the time of publication had been in the C
potencies. Dry before sometime in the 1820ies I should think, aftr
that (almost) always in liquid dilution.

Actually it seems that Hahnemann's experiences with LM potencies were
comparatively limited.

Regards

Luise
