Aph 21 - Organon 6

[Soroush Ebrahimi]

§ 21

Now, as it is undeniable that the curative principle in medicines is not in itself perceptible, and as in pure experiments with medicines conducted by the most accurate observers, nothing can be observed that can constitute them medicines or remedies except that power of causing distinct alterations in the state of health of the human body, and particularly in that of the healthy individual, and of exciting in him various definite morbid symptoms; so it follows that when medicines act as remedies, they can only bring their curative property into play by means of this their power of altering man’s state of health by the production of peculiar symptoms; and that, therefore, we have only to rely on the morbid phenomena which the medicines produce in the healthy body as the sole possible revelation of their in-dwelling curative power, in order to learn what disease-producing power, and at the same time what disease-curing power, each individual medicine possesses.

Treat others as you would wish to be treated.

Like this one and how the heck can you achieve this with combos, especially as most are not even proved?

Hi, Joy --
A similar problem prevents parahomoeopathic use of psychiatric interviews, group therapy, music, and colours. There aren't, and cannot be, any pathological trials of them, and if one of them -- psychiatric interviews, say -- were to induce symptoms, its effects would be irreproducible, making it useless as paramedicine.
Complexes' and combinations' pathological irreproducibility is the major stumbling block to their parahomoeopathic use.
Cheers!
