Organon 6 Aph 3

[Soroush Ebrahimi]

§ 3

If the physician clearly perceives what is to be cured in diseases, that is to say, in every individual case of disease (knowledge of disease, indication), if he clearly perceives what is curative in medicines, that is to say, in each individual medicine (knowledge of medical powers), and if he knows how to adapt, according to clearly defined principles, what is curative in medicines to what he has discovered to be undoubtedly morbid in the patient, so that the recovery must ensue - to adapt it, as well in respect to the suitability of the medicine most appropriate according to its mode of action to the case before him (choice of the remedy, the medicine indicated), as also in respect to the exact mode of preparation and quantity of it required (proper dose), and the proper period for repeating the dose; - if, finally, he knows the obstacles to recovery in each case and is aware how to remove them, so that the restoration may be permanent, then he understands how to treat judiciously and rationally, and he is a true practitioner of the healing art .

Thanks, Soroush --

And if the physician can't distinguish between morbidity and character, doesn't have a knowledge of medicinal powers, doesn't know how to adapt one to the other anyway, and shuns all clearly defined principles by which to do so, let's still call it homoeopathy!
Actually, the use of medicines without a known relationship to the patient's symptoms (or to those of the epidemic to which the patient is exposed) has been a long and hallowed tradition since Hahnemann's time, and he gave it a very special name.
He called it allopathy.
Cheers!

I think this perfectly sums up what a few of us have been trying to say for quite a long time and I still cannot understand why this simplicity has to be tweaked by anyone. It is lamentable that is it ever done so.
