There is a great article here
http://www.wholehealthnow.com/homeopathy_pro/wt1.html
on how to take a homeopathic case.. by
Dr. Will Taylor, M.D., faculty: The School of Homeopathy, New York.

Pathological generalities are of limited use.
A *complete* homeopathic symptom should include
Location
Sensation
Modification (better / worse)
Concomitants

There is discussion of what constitutes a homeopathic symptom here
http://www.pulsemans.com/rsem2.htm

T.F. Allen on "Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocket Book" is here
http://www.homeoint.org/cazalet/allen/therapbook.htm
this explains the purpose of repertorization, and goes into some detail on
case-taking, recognizing 'totality of symptoms' -and collating partial
symptoms into complete symptoms.

Rather than a panel of tests, what is needed is a properly taken case.

My apologies, this post was incomplete and intended to be saved for completion this day. It follows as a synthesis:
The patient is a 46 year old female, paramedic, Dx in '98 with Hep C chronic; necrosis of the Liver; and Diabetic (insulin dependent), by her medical doctor(s). Her Tx protocol has been Interferon with the addition of Rebitron, Zanax, Prozac, and Insulin. She had a hysterectomy in '98.

She ran away from home at age 15, her father was a fighter pilot, abusive and alcoholic. The mother is separated. Pt. states her husband is imposing and officous and that her children are very supportive.

She has presented herself with a clinical picture of pain in the Lv region; profound fatigue; insomnia; blurred vision; constipation; bowels which are odorous and with mucous; melancholy; headaches of a frontal nature; dizziness and unstable; tremors; abdominal bloating; deficient appetite; an absence of sense of smell; low grade intermittent fever; pallor; explosive disposition to conflict; craves sweets; periodic sore throat; chest oppression; frequent urination; nite sweats; pain in joints systemically; a maroonish tongue and slippery weak pulse.

Her blood/sugar varied from 255 to 75 and attends to it with 3 to 5 inj. per day of 3 to 5 units per inj.

If anyone wishes I have a collection of diagnostic tests regarding her history of viral load, Lipid studies, Hemoglobin, auto chem pnl, comprehensive metabolic panel, etc.....

My diagnosis (oriental medicine) is of dampness in the Lv/Gb and stagnation of Lv blood which is overacting on the Sp/S resulting in a disrupted transformation and transportation function of the digestive system.

The treatment intention was to clear the stagnation, promote the enzymatic function of the Lv; clear the dampness of the Lv/Gb; tonify the organs and bowels; tonify the pancreatic system.

The protocol was acupuncture involving meridian treatment and extraordinary vessel treatment with tuina (massage); herbal formulas; homeopathics, both single remedies and compositions of varied potencies.

The patient maintained weekly office visits from September to the end of January whereupon she became asymptomatic, stopped all pharmaceutical medications; follows internal medicines of herbal and homeopathic prn.

The patient was urged to maintain her healthcare relations with her medical doctor, which she did; this office forwarded unsolicited communication to that office regarding patients progress; the response to the patient was to assert that oriental medicine was good for pain only, that homeopathy is quackery, that she is wasting her money, that he would suggest massage, that her improvement is due to her estoppel of pharmaceuticals.

The patients blood/sugar became stable at 130 and would fluctuate between 160 and 108. Her clinical presentation was asymptomatic in all respects and her attitude was a manifested hopefullness. Her husband recognised that they were able to maintain a dialogue.

The specific remedies applied during the course of treatment were:

Shi Chuan Da Bu Wan; Jia Wei Chai Hu Shu Gan Wan; Ma Zi Ren Wan; Jia Wei Si Jun Zi Tang; Yu Ping Feng San.

Belladonna LM, & 1M; Pancreatonic (composition conveyed in an earlier thread); and a composition of Carduus Marianus 2X, Zingbre 2X; Lep 3X, Berberis4X, Cheld.4X; Mag. Mur4X; Nat. Mur.5X; Lv 6X; Nat. S6X; Atrop S 6X; Bry 6X; Lyc12X.

An acupuncturist with a homeopathic remedy correspondence chart and an
otherwise apparent *PROFOUND LACK* of homeopathic understanding.

What is your purpose here?!

If you wish to learn homeopathy, great.

If you wish to brag about cases cured by an unexplainable mixture of TCM and
unfathomable conglomerations of (un)homeopathic remedies, you are now
certainly quite aware that this is not the place.

Kindly take this thread private, or bring it into some sort of relevance to
our topic.

Since flaming and toasting are forbidden in list rule #5, perhaps it is time
to begin considering banning as a cure for individuals apparently intent on
off topic incursions as turf-war.
