Hi Rochelle,
The phrase "properly matched constitutional" could be a little confusing or
misleading, as "constitutional" prescribing has no coherent meaning across
the spectrum of homeopathic practitioners, clients, or other interested
parties.
People who don't believe that remedies can suppress (*homeopathic* remedies
will obviously move toward *cure* as opposed to suppress) fall into one or
more of these categories
1. those who have either not read or not understood foundational homeopathic
literature
2. those who may be unable to perceive, through lack of educational
background, clinical experience, or both... the concept of or the concrete
evidence of .. homeopathic suppression.
Obviously, in end-stage pathology (which certainly would include concurrent
chronic and acute renal failure) .. the criteria for evaluating risk of
suppression vs. desireability of true palliation (as opposed to the
potential for short-lived change in a particular severe symptom, accompanied
by aggravated decline in vitality &/or new & troublesome symptoms .. caused
by wrong remedy) shifts dramatically toward "try something that may work" ..
but this is NOT a time to abandon the practice of analyzing the case in
depth, and selecting remedy appropriate based on homeopathicity with regard
to complete symptoms (location, sensation, modification [modalities] and
concommitants)...
Whether you understand this, or the original poster does.. is not my major
concern or reason for this or the last post; it seemed to me that both the
original post and your answer could be too easily misinterpreted.
