Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
*******************************
Aphorism 147:
'Whichever of these medicines that have been
investigated as to their power of altering man's
health we find to contain in the symptoms observed
from its use the greatest similarity to the totality
of the symptoms of a given natural disease, this
medicine will and must be the most suitable, the most
certain homoeopathic remedy for the disease; in it is
found the specific remedy of this case of disease.'

Re: Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 147
Notice, Piet et al.."in it is found the specific remedy for this case of
disease."
this case of disease. not this person. and not the textbook version of the
disease. just this particular case of disease that we see in front of us.
not tendency, disposition, personality or constitution either. the disease
which has manifested the specific symptoms that can be observed objectively
by the attentive physician.
you are entitled to say "treat the person, not the illness." just don't
call it Hahnemannian homeopathy. call it Neo-Platonic healing or something
which reflects its intelllectual origin.

Re: Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 147
implied in this aphorism is the 'whole' picture which is stated in the phrase
"totality of the symptoms." this is not just the allopathic description of a
disease, but accomodates the mental and emotional as well. as an extension,
i find it implies the constitutional condition as it manifests in a given dis-ease
state.

Very true ....
not the *allopathic* description of the symptom-picture, but
the
symptom-picture of *this individual case of *disease* as
perceived
in regards alterations in sensations and functions of the
VF -
but not more, either !
an extension,
most certainly - and not even only 'as an extension' -
mental/emotional alterations can and mostly do come
along with diseases - and thus become part of the 'totality'
of the disease
to be considered for similarity -
made very clear (as we all know and are aware) in other
paragraphs by Hahnemann -
manifests in a given dis-ease
Fine - if you find it implies ...
but it then is a matter of definition of what one considers
as a 'constitutional condition manifesting ' -
as is written, ther eis no wording or implicit meaning in
147 to indicate
or hint at 'constitutional' anything ...
of course, there's no right or wrong definition of
'consitutional ..... ',
anyone's is as well as anyone else's -
just that to discuss it one needs to be aware of one's own
definitions and everyone else needs to be on the same
definition - at least for the length of that individual
discussion -
-
It is prettty clear in his writings that with 'totality' he
does not refer to
a person's *general* character and temperament, but that the
mental/emotional
symptoms are those alterations that are *altered because of
and since* the disease -
To just say
' treat the person, not the disease'
or
' treat the disease, not the person'
continues to be chronically either misunderstood, or
interpreted in only one way ....
It would be more precise (albeit elaborate) to write:
" We do treat the person... and not the disease....
in the sense that symptoms manifesting in
all areas/aspects/the whole person/VF are to be
considered for similarity,
and we do not treat the disease...- *name* -
but we very much so treat the 'disease' in the
sense of it being the influence causing the alterations,
and being what is to be cured,
and we do not treat the person, ... in the sense of
'treating' characteristics of the personality/'constitution'
in general health "
As usual, most posters seem to be intending to say
quite similar ideas .... but we gotta be clear in our
homoeopathic-technical language if we want to do any
fruitful discussions, instead of going around in
never-ending circles ...
otherwise we end up always only trying to explain what we
are
trying to say, and never get to getting the message across
....
