Hi,
Burnett wrote many things, which were rather confusing and had nothing to do with the homeoapthic method.

Just for those who did not see this case-- i posted it earlier here it is again:

Mrs. D.C 33 years of age presents with the following:

First consultation: 20.03.1999
Main symptom:
--Hard lump, inflamed in left breast. It cannot be moved physically -in growing?-. the size of a pea. Some redness and heat externally. The glands underarm left were swollen, hard, and unmovable as well.
---The patient previously went to the medical doctor, who prescribed several courses of antibiotics with no effect and now took a tissue-sample for further investigation.
---the patient was under great distress, fearing cancer, also because her mother died of breast cancer early.
---Haemorrhoids bleeding -continuing problem , more prominent now-
---the following symptoms were found:
She was generally < after intercourse, < wet cold air, < cold becoming.
Despite the doom and gloom she was unusually vivid, so this formed part of the disease picture.

premenstrual gone/ haemorrhoids more prominent/ lump in breast bigger but painless.
Rx.: continue

Second consultation: 22.04.1999
--Breast: slight tenderness, no redness, inflammation went.
Size of lump smaller and movable. Glands swollen soft under arms.

Report back:12.07.1999
The wheeze went and the lump in the breast disappeared subsequently.
All through the summer in good health.
Rx.: wait and see

Fourth follow-up: 10.12.1999
Over the last week:
Return of a slight wheeziness, and she found herself clenching the teeth,-which she used to do as a child.
Periods now clotted and heavy with headaches and tenderness of breasts.
No lumps in breasts, glands free.
No haemorrhoids,
Rx.: Calc-c Q3/ every second day, 3 teaspoons of the second glass.

I met the patient end of 2001 and after the last dose everything disappeared and there had been no more health-problems since.
