Dear Jeff
This is a disclaimer in the main!
Homeopathy must by definition adhere to the principles set out in the Organon.
Previously Dr Shahrdar and myself have expressed many times the primary role of Minutus is Hahnemannian homeopathy.
To practise Hahnemannian homeopathy one must understand the first few aphorisms of the organon where Hahnemann defines the scope and then goes on to explain each in great detail. I trust that with your long experience you have read the Organon at least once.
Wheteher you have or have not, join the discussion of the Organon one aphorism at a time. We are at Aph 4.
Best wishes

Jeff, if you've read anything accurate (try Hahnemann) about what homoeopathy is and have comprehended it, you'll know that what some have (misguidedly, in my opinion) termed "classical homoeopathy" refers simply to homoeopathy anyway. All the styles arrogating to themselves descriptions as "non-classical" styles of homoepathy ineluctably turn out to be styles of allopathy dressed in homoeopathic clothing. They're usually some brand of polypharmacy (which, as you know, is inherently allopathic, since it is impossible to practise upon a homoeopathic basis, having no possible basis in pathogenetic trials).

Homoeopathy's basis in a knowledge of primary effects is not that hard to understand. I've explained it to children who got it immediately. In the task of distinguishing the number one (as in a single, simple medicine) from higher numbers, dedicated polypharmacists have more trouble than does any three-year-old I've ever met.

In terms of explaining homoeopathy to children, I find it much easier to explain to non-homoeopaths, regular people who just follow the logic of Hahnemann's findings and ask very relevant questions. As soon as people have been through some training, they are prejudiced with use of certain words and expressions which cloud the issue, quoting teachers rather than just clear-headedly following the logic.

The law of similars works in an "if-you-do-this-you-get-that" kind of way. This is the basis - polypharmacy doesn't harness the law of similars, therefore lacks certainty. And yet I just watched two clips showing busy active homoeopaths explaining homoeopathy without mentioning the law of similars once. It's not a religious law - it's a practical basis for the medical therapeutic. If this becomes irrelevant then the whole basis and raison-d'etre of homoeopathy is undermined - and this is what has happened.

Couldn't agree more. I find no trouble getting homoeopathy across in five minutes to anybody who hasn't come across it before. Given ten minutes, I find it's possible to throw in an explanation of potency, the obvious objection to it, and its role as a mere accessory technology rather than as some essential part of homoeopathy, and have my conversant still with me and thinking about it. And this works with kids as well as with adults. But somebody who's decided that the relative ease of finding several medicines that clearly include the patient's symptoms between them justifies throwing out the homoeopathic principle (but still calling it homoeopathy)? I've had discussions of evolution with Christian fundamentalists that achieved more!
