Minutus

Hello,
I'm a recent new member, and had a recent influx of Minutus members
join our ADDthruAutism group.

By way of introduction:
I have been in private practice for 8 years doing a sequential
homeopathic approach. I was joined in practice 5 years ago by a
second homeopath, and by a third last year. A major focus of the
practice is and has always been vaccine injury and related toxicity
and immune system issues. In the last 3 years one focus has been on
Autism and autism spectrum disorders.

My major reason for posting is that I use many bacterial and viral
nosodes in practice, and wondered if anyone here has ever looked at
Monera by Vermeulen as a resource. Is it set up as a MM resource, or
in repertory format, or what? I am thinking of purchasing the book,
but wanted to see if anyone had any opinions, first.

Thanks,
Cindy Griffin

I would like to know more about this sequntial approach also. Is
this the layer methodology? I am still a student so undoubtably
green but if you are treating the case as it is in front of you - ie
the presenting picture - where is the sequence?
Presumably the history of the case gives clues as to the sequence to
take but I see great differnece in what one homoeopath will do in
reference to another - approach the miasm is one way or look at
treating the aetiology - say the vaccine MMR.

Can you expand on the sequence particularly in light of autism/ADD

thanks

If, as I assume, it is Sequential Therapy she is talking about, there
doesn't seem any possibility of having rational discussion about it on
this list. It's been tried in the past, and always devolves into
name-calling and aspersion-hurling. (From "our" side much more than
from "theirs".)
Below:
As with any problem, there are a variety of *possible* ways to approach
any case. Different homeopaths' different approaches to similar cases
will be based partly on differences in training (possibly but not
necessarily "better" or "worse"); partly on differences in temperament;
or differences in circumstance (of the patient and/or homeopath); or
differences in casetaking / casegiving....

And, different cases and patients are better suited to different
approaches. That is IMO one big reason why it's so useful to have a
variety of approaches in our "toolchest": if you "always" prescribe on
mentals, what do you do with a non-communicating patient? If you
"always" begin with aetiology, what do you do when it's unknown? If
your only training is in a Kentian (or whatever) approach, what do you
do with those cases for which it is just not working?

Sequential Therapy (from the little I've been able to glean in the
past) is a different way of approaching cases. It's *not* classical
homeopathy, and if you try to evaluate one from the framework of the
other, you will make yourself crazy. Which does not in any way
address the question of "better" or anything else; it appears to me
that they need to be evaluated separately on strength of their own
track records and long-term results, and that in the past has proved to
be a process that "this list" (meaning certain members of this list)
has been unwilling or unable to permit.

However--perhaps someone can share information about the book Cindy was
asking after? (Monera)

It is difficult to know at start how a case may pan out and which remedies
would be needed. It may be the case that a sequence of remedies are needed
until the patient feels very well. We can of course discuss these to their
limit.

However, if the idea is that at the start of case one decides that a
sequence of remedies are going to be prescribed without much further
thought, then that does not sound like homoeopathy to me!

I think the case for "not homeopathy" is fairly easy to make, if we
accept Hahnemann's definition. (Which I've always thought seems fair,
since after all it's "his word"! Or at least he coined it.) Which
relates to my statement that you can't evaluate one from within the
framework of the other.

So there is a big difference then between the layered method and
this sequential therapy. What happens in the course of this
sequential therapy? Does it work or does it enforce artiificial
illness on the vital force - pseudo health? What is the general
consensus on it - without causing an argument please! It seems to me
to be the difference between the simillimum and and a enforced
likeness.

Cindy, if you often use nosodes, you'll love this book. It's written with
Verlmeulen's customary thoroughness, and gives cases, themes, background,MM
symptoms, related remedies -- very thorough. Also written in a lively style
that's even fun to read.

By all means, get Monera. It's an MM (think Prisma of the microbial world)
and full of useful info hard to find elsewhere.

Peace,
Cinnabar

Many thanks. It's a bit pricey, but when information is hard to
find, what's a few bucks. But a bit of a review is always nice to
find.
