Dear Sue,

I have been quite well but overworking. As far as I can tell Hahnemann
used the symptoms experienced in the proving to chose his remedies and then
attempted to remove those symptoms with the similar remedies. He would make
down the symptoms of the patient and then note if the proven remedy removed
them. This would then give him a clinical confirmation. So I think he
looked at both the provings and cure symptoms. This is also what Hering
based his work upon. His highest grade symptoms were those that were proved
and cured.

Hahnemann tended to note in his casebooks those symptoms that were
cured, old symptoms that appeared, and new symptoms produced by the
remedy. I don't think he did any real statistical studies or double-blind
tests in the modern sense. Most of his work was empirical and based on
personal experience.
I am not sure I understand your needs or can provide with any helpful
information? I will try to do by best but my contribution in this area my
be useless. I willing to try, however.

Sincerely, David
