Thank you Soroush and of course we can thank David Little for more:-
Shortly after the publication of The Chronic Diseases, Hahnemann reviewed the use of the miasms as homoeopathic remedies. He was quick to point out that what Hering was suggesting was not the same old isopathic method because the material used is potentized by the homoeopathic technique and given in minimal dose. This changes an ordinary isopathic substance into a homoeopathic remedy IF used properly.

Vide aphorism 56 of the 4th Organon (1829).
It is the transformation of the medicinal substances by potentization that opens the Homoeopathic Materia Medica to the remedies used in the ancient isopathic tradition. Dr. Swan, who proved Medorrhimun, was once asked if it was legitimate to use nosodes against diseases when they were not proven homoeopathically. His answer to this question was that "since the symptoms of the infectious miasms have been observed in so many individuals they represent a natural proving". The syndromes they cause are similar to the conditions they remove even if the person does not have the exact same disease. (What a rather interesting point!) In this way a remedy like Morbillinum (measles nosode) has cured meningitis, erthyematous lupus, conjunctivitis, and spontaneous abortion when chosen by the characteristic signs and symptoms. All of these conditions are similar to the complications caused by measles miasm in the populace.

In the light of Hahnemann's logic the use of the miasmic material without potentization was crude isopathy whereas their use in potencies is within the realm of Homoeopathy. Vide The Chronic Diseases, the chapter called "The Medicines".
The major difference between isode and a homoeopathic nosode is that a homoeopathic remedy is proven on the healthy so its symptom picture and therapeutic range is greatly expanded. The idem prescription can only be used for the same condition it causes or its prevention. Isopathy without the principle of the potentized remedy is an extremely dangerous method. Once an isopathic substance is dynamized it becomes a pure homoeopathic potence. Therefore, it must be applied by the cardinal principles of Homoeopathy if it is going to be used correctly.

That is exactly why it is called isopathy and not homeopathy.
It deals ONLY with the apparent cause/origin of the pathology, not with its interaction with a specific patient.
Its use is to remove causality, often lingering, and obstacle to cure, same as removing a splinter or telling a patient to move out of a damp dwelling, which is real estate and not homeopathy, but if not accomplished, will prevent the patient's cure and negate the action of a properly prescribed remedy.
I really do not see what the problem is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be really frightening and have trauma, if you were my homepath. I don't see the way of communicate with patients(or people) and that would be the skill of homeopath for long time acquirement. Joy Lucus knows how to deal with ignorance. I don't think you gave any good advice and understood my story. I only know you were talking with your co-worker so I didn't think you were talking to me. In another word, your words were talking to a wall because your words were not reaching to me with your compassion. You were talking to yourself or among your group of people. I think you didn't need take a case before you start your treatment so you don't know how to deal with patients that I can assume. But anyway, this is my opinion and you think you are greater than other homeopaths or people, that is your way of thinking. I have to wash my mouth....

Hi Soroush,
thanks for this reminder, and I can testify to the good effect. Burnt my finger recently, normally would result in a blister etc. put it straight under the hot tap, (not hot enough to cause a burn) and gradually increased the cold tap. the result - no blister, less pain and eventually the area healed, still no blister or peeling, in fact no damage was evident after a few days other than the skin being slightly different textute, but NO blister.
regards,
Paul
(and yes, as Sam says its a homeopathic not an isopathic action).
