Minutus

I know everyone needs a good starting point. It still leaves an uncomfortable
feeling in my heart when I read all these exact directions.
I have this vision of a person choking in the background while a bunch of
Doctors are arguing about which technique to use on him.
I certainly would encourage everyone to start reading the Organon, at least,
the last two, and chew on it for a while, before they hang their Homeopathic
shingle out.
Was it you, David L.? Who gave a diagram in a class (about fifteen years ago)
of a triangle, with Materia Medica on one side, Repertory on one, and Organon
on the third, showing a balance? Then, of course, there is perception of the
person, and the progression of the ailment, and so many more factors.... than
how many teaspoons to mix a few pellets into. Good starting point, never a
law....
Rapid, Gentle, Permanent ..........I have a sign on my desk to remind me of
my goals.
I hope we don't raise a generation of allopathic homeopaths....Cindee

Dear Cindee,

It was indeed me and I remember you well. One must have a good knowledge
of the Organon, the materia medica and the repertory to practice
homoeopathy well. Homoeopathic philosophy and pathology is the guiding
light to a balance practice. Even if you find the remedy you must know how
to apply it to the patient. This includes the critical area of posology and
case management procedures. The allopathic school specializes in
standardization for all patients while homoeopathy specializes in
individualization. Using mechanical prescriptions appeals to those who have
not quite yet grasped the essence of posology. Individualization is central
to the method of a true healing artist. Most of all Homeopathy is a system
of flexible response.

All the best, David

Thanks David,
You were a wise teacher and my clients have been blessed with healing
benefits from it even though many years have passed. I enjoy reading your
posts. It's homeopathic poetry.
