Sheri-
I know that though you meant well it sounded a little harsh...
And I do feel that there are many different kinds of homeopathy
being practised. There are constitutional prescribers, miasmatic
prescribers, symptom coverers, Drainage prescribers, Low potency
people, LM practitioners, Nosodopaths, Sequential therapists. All
claim to be homeopaths and one way or other all seem to work if not
in all at least in many cases. Which of these makes you ill? And who
makes the final call? Do we trash Richard Hughes just because we are
Kentians. Do we criticize Kent because we are fond of Burnett? Are
Neo Classical masters who spin their web of delusional mysticism any
more true to the Spirit of homeopathy than the barefoot village
practitioner who treats successfully the acutest of acute maladies
with whatever Key note prescription he or she is capable of.Starting
from Boenninghausen,Hering, Lippe, Kent, Dunham, Farrington till
Edward Whitmont, Richard Hayes, MLTyler every one of them practised
what THEY understood as their form of Homeopathy. Each one had
emphasized on what he or she had thought would lead to the simillimum
or remove an obstacle to cure. There is one argument that more than
the bastardization of homeopathy it is the schism in homeopathy (
where the purists high brow the lowly mongrels) that caused its down
fall in US 80 years back. Let us be tolerant and "vaccinate ourselves"
against falling ill in the face of mixed-up homeopathy practice.
Selecting a remedy is different from matching the symptoms of the
patient with the medicinal symptoms. Gathering all the symptoms of
the patient or just the key notes or the generals or the state of the
patient are all attempts to increase the probability of getting a
hit. But they are all NOT necessary. If by looking at a patient you
can arrive at a remedy diagnosis ( no one can do that but just
imagine if it were so) then you do not need to take all these
symptoms into account- right. It is arriving at the correct remedy
that is important and not HOW. Much as I admire your enthusiasm for
homeopathy still I wanted to clarify these.
