Hi Chris,
***1) This is not what you said. 2) I have no idea what you mean by
that.
***If I call anythin impertinent and unfair to boot, it is "quoting
out of context" and giving only part of the quote.
I wrote:
"Either Hahnemann didn't practice as he preached **or we misinterprete
what he said in the Organon**"
and then you
+++My evidence for this statement is in the Preface for the Project v.
Boenninghausen on my homepage
www.bar-do.net, for all to read. I also
posted on all lists etc. that it is there for all to read. If you do
not consider this evidence as proof - well that is your privilege. The
same goes for anyone else. Who is interested can go there, read the
Preface and make up his/her own mind!
So I'll say just this: either v. Boenninghausen made up the story or
he was a very sloppy case-taker. Or how do *you* explain that he did
not mention this phthisis in his anamnesis, an illness that he in his
publications claimed to have suffered from just 2 years previously,
which he claims had brought him to the fringe of death, but mentioned
his gout, his susceptibility to colds, his being apt to problems from
lifting? How do *you* explain that he mentioned Nux.vom and Dulcamara
as remedies that had previously worked for him, but did not mention
Pulsatilla and Sulphur?
***Adding to what JROZ wrote:
Very often combos are prescribed on "what has worked before", in other
words on "cured symptoms". Even the purest of classical homeopaths
prescribe partly also on those cured symptoms. E.g. almost none of the
prescriptions for Arnica for trauma are based on provings. So the
line dividing single remedy prescription and combo prescription is
very blurry.
***I do not know any polypharmacist who does. They would not be able
to make a living. In Germany most people do not go to homeopaths for
acutes, they go go MDs. and where it has something to do with muscles,
spinal chord etc. they sometimes go to acupuncturists or
chiropractors. The polypharmacists as well as the classicals mostly
treat chronic states.
In fact, we have just read about such a case
***Indeed - and how about the effect of Na. sulph. - single remedy,
also on this list?
I have had the
***And had they gone to MDs and taken ABs and cortisone and/or any of
the myriad drugs/surgery that would have been the alternative in many
cases, it would have been straigt delight comparatively? Or had they
taken the non-homeopathic OTC-drugs - another alternative?
***There is no agreement on the boundaries of "homeopathy". In Germany
all potentized remedies are by official definition "homeopathic
remedies", they can only be sold in pharmacies, they are labelled as
such. (Anthrophosphic Medicine may be different - I am not sure) The
only difference between combos and single remedies is that -
so far - single remedies do not have to carry an indication.
Traditionally in Germany Naturopaths have been known by the people as
"homeopaths".
In other countries things are probably different - from Germany and
between the various countries.
Homeopathy is thus not defined. Especially on an international list it
would be hard to define it. It is up to Ardavan.
hard.

***In Germany this is called "über den Tellerrand schauen", translated
for the list "to look further than the rim of one's plate":-).
It's not making a whole lot of sense.
***From what other posters wrote - I have not been on this list for
long
- other things have been discussed that are not homeopathic?
