Hello to all,
I really appreciate your attempts to study and
understand Hahnemann's works. But, we should not
forget that he was a human not God, so some of his
teachings might be wrong. I do believe in Hahnemann as
a great scientist, not a prophet. So while studying
his works we'd better keep this in mind.
I hope you have got the point right.
Sincerely,
Feras Hakkak

Re: Hahnemann
It's a strange world we live in, but that's probably due to the vitality of the planet being in a weakened state, which is bound to have an affect on all life on Earth, Mother Gaia, and which is bound to have an affect on one's thought processes.
Every single human being on this planet from time immemorial has made mistakes, including ALL the GREAT people we know throughout history (to err is human...) and no one knows everything - they'd be God incarnate if they did.
In the past, and in the days before I knew anything at all about homeopathy, I read a lot of books dealing with theories on the Vital Force, the trinity, and various kinds of energies that the human being is made up of, books such as the Alice Bailey books, Madame Blavatsky etc etc. but they were just words in a book; I couldn't relate to them, and yet I wanted to understand them but never met anyone that actually lived that way or put into practice those words so that I could see for myself their working.
It wasn't until I started studying Classical Homeopathy and reading what I could of Hahnemann's works and David Little's articles that slowly but surely it all started to sink in - but that's because homeopathy is being practised and, therefore, ARE NOT just words in a book on a theory that someone believes we should all know about.
YET without SH, homeopathy wouldn't exist. He has left us a wealth of information to learn from and to move on with. The mistakes he made should save homeopaths from making the same mistakes. And NO, he didn't know everything and YES, he did make mistakes - but he knew more than the people of his time and made less mistakes than them, and I guess the same might be said in relation to him and the people of today.
What a shame there is so much mis-understanding of Hahnemann. As one girl said to me, "Hahnemann is like a grandfather and times have moved on; he's in the past." Such people have very small minds, and these are the people that practise combination remedies. Whether in high or low potencies it doesn't matter - as Hahnemann himself said when someone suggested combining five remedies, "Why not combine the whole MM?"
Now, around the time of Hahnemann and in the UK was Dr Edward Jenner (1749-1823), the father of immunization. Obviously unlike Germany, in the UK during the time of King George III, when Jenner lived, practicing physicians were not required to pass examinations. According to Dr. Walter Hadwen in his 1896 address, "The Case Against Vaccination", Jenner was a country apothecary with a Degree of Medicine purchased from St. Andrew's University in Scotland for the sum of £15. Dr. Hadwen described Jenner's other credentials which included a Fellowship of the Royal Society obtained by writing a paper on the cuckoo bird and an honorary MD degree from the University of Oxford granted only after he persistently begged the university to give it to him. By the time the medical fraternity realised they'd been conned by this man it was too late. To save themselves embarassment they hailed Jenner as a kind of saviour of the human race and have lived that lie to this very day.
Now just imagine if Hahnemann had been as Jenner was. Criticism and wanting to move away from Hahnemann would be well justified. Yet Jenner is never criticised, despite the fact that immunization was based on false principles.
Just wanted to make my point about the greatness of Hahnemann then and now and that homeopaths today have still got a lot to learn from him.

Re: Hahnemann
Christine-
What you say is absolutely true. Hahnemann was a visionary and a true
scientist... It still amazes me that such a man had lived, researched
and gave birth to such a science that even now unfortunately has not
earned the rightful place in the grand scheme of things...
Unfortunately that is how world works... all that glitters is not
gold and all that succeeds is not worthy of it...More than anything
it was compelling logic and the science of homeopathy that made me
give up my allopathic practice and start practicing homeopathy
against all my well wishers advice...
My sincerest desire is to see Homeopathy be elevated to become equal
to or even greater than allopathy not only for chronic conditions but
also for acutes and infections. Strange viral diseases are on the
rise - ebola fever, marburg virus, bird flu, mad cow disease - you
name it ... whilst regular medicine scratches the collective global
head, homeopathy has the where withall to effectively treat all
these...ebola fever closely resembles Yellow fever and other
hemorrhagic fevers and crotalus, lachesis, Anthracinum, Ars and Phos
should do wonders if applied. But who is going to support the cause
of homeopathy? It is in such conditions that homeopathy should prove
itself - where no one can say that homeopathy works like placebo or
because homeopaths spend a lot of time with patients and it is this
good rapport that is curing- Such utter non sense is still heard.
What Hahnemann gave us was a Science and he wanted to take all the
guess work out of it...
If any one should forget Hahnemann there is nothing that could save
us a science and a system of medicine...
