Minutus

good day Jan, what you describe below is the artful expression of the act of application. Healthcare is not a science, it is an art. That is true for all paradigms. What is of significance is that certain paradigms are based on principle.
Dear Jon, and others,

Your answer gives me the opportunity to ask a question to the group which I
have been wondering about for some time.
I only read until now Sankaran Spirit of Homeopathy and must say it's very
inspiring, that for sure.
But I also noticed his very 'liberal' and 'creative' use of the repertory.

Let me give some examples:
'... in a throat trouble with a mild infection, the patient wants to take
the strongest antibiotic so that it never comes again...'
is repertorized under: 'Desire to kill'.

"Doctor, I'm completely in your hands. I shall do as you suggest. Pls do not
ask me what I want. I leave it all to you. You know best what is good for
me"
is repertorized as ' Desire to be magnetised.'

'"A lady developed a problem of pain in shoulder and inability to move her
joints after the death of a neighbour......I found that this lady was quite
a reserved and shy type, and the neighbour was the only person in the
building with whom she was able to communicate because the neighbour spoke
the same language of the patient"
is repertorized as "Delusion, he walks on knees".

My question: isn't it dangerous to interpret our rubrics in that way or have
you the same positive experiences with such 'enlarged form' of
interpretations of the rubrics?
Just wondering what your opinion are on this (important) matter.

The description of practice as below is "artful" in the same way that
fingerpainting may be a useful exercise for patients in a madhouse.

One individual's incredibly bizarre mentalist-free-associations have NO
PLACE in repertory, and have value only in showing how uncommunicable
insights (hunches) may lead to a good Rx.

One person's "hunch" in one case has practically no bearing on the cases of
other persons.

This

would be "thinly" repertorizable as stated ONLY if the individual were
ranting & raving about killing germs... otherwise, this rubric is about the
state of consciousness of the practitioner (in general &/or at that moment
in time) and about nothing else.

The desire for the strongest antibiotic is plainly "desire to get well" ...
repertorizable as "desire for silver bullet" .. (or magic wellness pill)
as opposed to "desire to kill" .. unless, again... that were very
specifically and unusually expressed... in which case, the lack of
mentioning this is practically criminally negligent on the part of the
author, who may or may not be a great homeopath, but plainly has no business
writing books without a good editor.
sincerely,
