Dear Phil et al,
Some people talk as if one only has the choice between a single chief
remedy (which they mistaken call "classical homoeopathy") and mixtures of
remedies at the same time (combination remedies). Hahnemann introduced the
chief remedy, the acute intercurrent, the chronic intercurrent, the
anti-miasmatic remedy and the prophylactic remedy. He used single remedies,
alternations, rotations, tandem remedies and a series of remedies whenever
he though it was necessary. He tried dual remedies (two remedies given at
once) in the early1830s but found they did not work very well and were
"never necessary". He preferred to expose the vital force to one remedy at
a time, so where more than one remedy was needed in complex miasms, he
develop special strategies that were rapid, safe and effective,
In complex diseases and multiple miasms he suggested the use of
alternations, rotations of remedies, tandem remedies, and a series of
remedies if and when necessary. I have reviewed such cases in the Paris
casebooks. These remedies were not used by rigid mechanical preconceived
schedules. They were given according to the nature of the disease state,
the signs and symptoms as well as the time and circumstances. Until one has
tested all of Hahnemann's methods in the clinic they should not be saying
that traditional homoeopathy doesn't work on multiple miasmatic cases. That
is simply NOT true. Tbe truth is that one has to know how to treat such
conditions properly. If someone DOESN'T understand these specialized case
management strategies then they should NOT blame their failures on
traditional homoeopathy. The fault lays in themselves.
Hahnemann developed a system of flexible response that works better
than several remedies given at the same time. Off the shelf combinations
cannot be customized and personally tailored for the individual in
accordance with the specific causative agents, the nature of the layers of
dissimilar complex diseases, and their active, latent and dormant signs and
symptoms. I have watched the work of many combo prescribers and they cannot
reach the level of work that one who understands Hahnemann's advanced case
management strategies. This includes all of the above case management
scenarios as well as the advanced posology measures using the C and LM
potency in medicinal solution and the methods of adjusting the dose. As
Hahnemann said in the 1830s, combination remedies might work in a few
instances, but they are never necessary and do not work as well as single
remedies either alone, in alternations, as tandem remedies, or in a series
of remedies if and when needed.
Sincerely, David Little
PS. When diet and nutritional deficiency form obstacles to the cure the
situation should be remedy by appropriate measures.
