In terms of explaining homoeopathy to children, I find it much easier to explain to non-homoeopaths, regular people who just follow the logic of Hahnemann's findings and ask very relevant questions. As soon as people have been through some training, they are prejudiced with use of certain words and expressions which cloud the issue, quoting teachers rather than just clear-headedly following the logic.
The law of similars works in an "if-you-do-this-you-get-that" kind of way. This is the basis - polypharmacy doesn't harness the law of similars, therefore lacks certainty. And yet I just watched two clips showing busy active homoeopaths explaining homoeopathy without mentioning the law of similars once. It's not a religious law - it's a practical basis for the medical therapeutic. If this becomes irrelevant then the whole basis and raison-d'etre of homoeopathy is undermined - and this is what has happened.

Jeff, if you've read anything accurate (try Hahnemann) about what homoeopathy is and have comprehended it, you'll know that what some have (misguidedly, in my opinion) termed "classical homoeopathy" refers simply to homoeopathy anyway. All the styles arrogating to themselves descriptions as "non-classical" styles of homoepathy ineluctably turn out to be styles of allopathy dressed in homoeopathic clothing. They're usually some brand of polypharmacy (which, as you know, is inherently allopathic, since it is impossible to practise upon a homoeopathic basis, having no possible basis in pathogenetic trials).
Homoeopathy's basis in a knowledge of primary effects is not that hard to understand. I've explained it to children who got it immediately. In the task of distinguishing the number one (as in a single, simple medicine) from higher numbers, dedicated polypharmacists have more trouble than does any three-year-old I've ever met.

Where may I ask, does the above notice say that Mintus is for 'classical' homeopathy?

And what is 'Classical' homeopathy?

Yes, I find the historical approach the most straightforward too. It's easier, I think, for most people to relate to a narrative of why Hahnemann did the research he did and what arose from it over time than to relate to a collection of findings in isolation.

Cheers!
