[Dr. Joe Rozencwajg, NMD]

They did not know much in his time.

So if a patient comes in, complaining he has shortness of breath, and that is about all he can tell you, not only because he is short of breath but because that is all he has been able to observe, you need to find the cause yourself to properly chose the remedy.

The same SOB due to heart failure, kidney failure, silicosis or asthma, will not require the same remedy or remedies for cure. At times you might use the same remedy for symptomatic relief, same approach as in conventional medicine, herbalism or naturopathy, but not to eradicate the disease and cure the patient.

Or did I misunderstand homeopathy all those years???

Joe.

It needs to be read in teh context of the times.

Nowadays it is necesary to know the cause of the symptoms to be a good homeopath.
For the difficult chronic issues at least, and also for acutes.

Acute example:
Had I known my cat was having an anaphylactic reaction rather than the diagnosed pneumonia
she would not have died two hrs later.

Chronic example:
A cat with a chronic disease died, becasue the lack of fluidity in the blood vessels was missed.
All it needed was an IV of fluid, and no remedy could have helped before it had one;
If it had been hydrated, a treatment could have been provided which also would prevent the vessels leaking out their fluid.
(The body itslef was well hydrated.)
Rubrics like "loss of fluid" REQUIRED the infomation of the fluidless vascular system in this case.

In fact Ebola patients all die if they do not immediately get IV fluid for the same reasno as the cat case - vessels devoid of enough liquid to circulate - an internal fact that needs to be known to help by homepathy.

Namaste,

Sheri,

I explained "cause" well in my email with examples. You ignored it and went for a new idea.
I gave good examples to illustrate the kind of cause needed to be known - not "allopathic" cause or "ultimate" cause as you added as red herrings - but the ones needed to be a successful homeopath, as below.

Namaste,
Irene
