What shall we call it?

When Homoeopathy was resurrected in UK in the early 1970's the teachings
went along certain lines.
Those students then eventually formed the Society of Homoeopaths. They had
established certain standards for practise.
Those standards have now fallen by the way side. It is now very difficult
to know from the Register of SoH how the practitioner will practise and what
has been the level of his learning in terms of Philosophy etc.
Few of the people who call themselves Homoeopath have ever read the Organon
cover-to-cover.
So those of us who keep to certain standards need to some how identify
ourselves and also enable the public to be able to ask the right questions.
I find nothing wrong in the term of Classical Hahnemannian Homoeopathy. I
have a feeling that those that object to the term classical, may have other
motives. Most are not true practitioners of the healing art.
Aph 3
If the physician clearly perceives what is to be cured in diseases, that is
to say, in every individual case of disease (knowledge of disease,
indication), if he clearly perceives what is curative in medicines, that is
to say, in each individual medicine (knowledge of medical powers), and if he
knows how to adapt, according to clearly defined principles, what is
curative in medicines to what he has discovered to be undoubtedly morbid in
the patient, so that the recovery must ensue - to adapt it, as well in
respect to the suitability of the medicine most appropriate according to its
mode of action to the case before him (choice of the remedy, the medicine
indicated), as also in respect to the exact mode of preparation and quantity
of it required (proper dose), and the proper period for repeating the
dose; - if, finally, he knows the obstacles to recovery in each case and is
aware how to remove them, so that the restoration may be permanent, then he
understands how to treat judiciously and rationally, and he is a true
practitioner of the healing art .
