single or multiple remedies

[Kerry]

I wouldn't say that you would update the rep or MM with this. The rep and MM should come from the provings done on human beings where a totality of symptoms can be seen/felt and documented. My personal belief is that it is not necessary or acceptable to be experimenting on animals (dead or alive) and that the information necessary to work cases is documented from well done provings that follow Hahnemann's guidelines. As this experiment had already taken place it seemed applicable to the discussion taking place regarding the use of single or multiple remedies.

I recall Chris Gillen giving details of a proving of two remedies (my memory tells me it was Bryonia and Rhus but I could be remembering incorrectly) that again showed that two remedies given together produce different effects to each individual proving of the remedy. Perhaps someone on the list still has that info and could post it???

Yes, Kerry. Our thoughts should not be limited to our own metholodogy. Testing like this helps in communicating with outsiders. Chris's proving sound very interesting.

Best,

I guess that it would take merely the imagination of an explorative scientist to devise a way to demonstrate such a functional difference without victimising any animal. Much animal testing, it seems to me, results from sheer intellectual laziness to devise something ethically and scientifically more suitable.

I too seem to recall Chris's reference to that proving… Yes, I've found it. I'll forward it in a moment (and I'll try to do so in this thread).

This is Chris's message from 2009 referring to the attempt to prove Bry. and Rhus-t. together.
