Homeopathy of Tomorrow
Homeopathy of Tomorrow
A body of knowledge that claims to be a science must be prepared to be adventurous and never loth to change. It must be:
- Flexible to adapt to the changing scenario of scientific advancements and incorporate new discoveries and insights;
- Have courage to discard antediluvian tenets and all unscientific and illogical impedimenta;
- Homeopathy has an immutable therapeutic law with two centuries’ impeccable application; but in modern circumstances every patient cannot be nailed on the cross of homeopathic ideal of cure. Lesser and lesser percentage of patients is left who can be cured according to homeopathic ideal of cure. The similimum of homeopathy has become an endangered species. (read the Book)
- But all the patients, with all their various complaints, can be treated with the law of Similia.
- Prejudice against Palliation should be modified or entirely shed. Law of similia can be used for the whole or for a partial complaint. (Read the Book)
- Minimum Dose is the exclusive discovery of Homeopathy, corroborated in practice, for two centuries; and the Optimum Dose is the therapeutic methodology of Allopathy.
- Proving of Drugs should be re-enacted to the point of developing pathology in the provers, first in animals and, later on, with all wonted cares, on humans.
- Pathology should be considered the hallmark or the basis of therapeutic. If a drug cannot produce certain pathology, it cannot cure that pathology. (Read Book) Kent censured giving Aconite to a typhoid patient, because, as he says, Aconite cannot create typhoid.
- Give precedence to pathology over all considerations, including mind symptoms. When few medicines are indicated on the basis of pathology, differentiation among them will be done according to mind and other personal symptoms.
- Mind Symptoms and Mental Disorders should always be differentiated. The latter can have pathology as their basis, while the former can be the cause of pathology: as, for example, from a drastic loss or a loss of a loved one.
