A new non-homeopathic insect repellent

[Irene de Villiers]

Each individual remedy is a homeopathic remedy because its symptoms activity list is KNOWN, and therefore MAY be useful if the patient's symptoms are WITHIN the remedy symptom list - and thus one can PREDICT what the remedy can do, with certainty when it MATCHES.
That is the natural Law of Similars by which homeopathy functions.

A MIXTURE of several homeopathic remedies - much like a MIXTURE of regular drugs - has NOT got any known action areas or known symptoms - thus it CANNOT possibly have symptoms of a patient within its action as its action is a complete unknown. SO are its effects and longterm effects - all unknown.

A mixture is NOT "homeopathic".
By definition a homeopathic remedy (and this is the formal HPUS definition as well) has ONE and only one substance from which it is made, listed by its Latin name, (to be the same in any country for lack of confusion) plus its potency number. So there is ONE ingredient with ONE potency number made by the formal classical method.
In fact the US FDA can close down any manufacturer calling anything else a "homeopathic remedy". It's a legally reserved term.
No. It is a mixture of homeopathic remedies with unknown, unpredictable effect.
It's like expecting a mix of 5 drugs to be safe or effective at something or other. Would you let someone mix 5 drugs together (with no testing or studies on the mixture) and feed them to you?

IF - the mixture is proved in the homeopathic way, then the mixture could get a SINGLE name and potency and be a homeopathic remedy. But as a mixture, and while unproved, it is simply an unknown substance with unknown action, both short term - and more especially - long-term, when proving symptoms or grafting occurs.

Namaste,
Irene
