Minutus

Its the totality of the _disease_ (mental, physical & emotional) symptoms that are considered for proper acute (and chronic) homeopathic treatment. You wouldnt _necessarily_ consider the miasm, birth trauma, color preferences, hand gestures or other irrelevant cr*p when doing an acute! And yet it would not necessarily be considered local treatment. Local treatment is defined by whether as a result of the treatment new symptoms develop (e.g. side-effects) as opposed to a return of old symptoms (ie. curative response).

That is a new definition of the concept of "local".

As far as I understand, in the field of therapy, it means a treatment that is focused on the place, organ or system that is now presenting with symptoms, without taking into consideration the "irrelevant cr*p" you so elegantly describe...

Not new unless you consider the Organon to be new, as I read it.
