Well, you can think that way, but the fact is:

using remedies allopathically is just not curative.

And that fact will never, ever change, no matter how long ago Hahnemann said it.

You have to prescribe on the totality of the vital force; not on the pathology. It is the fundamental rule of homeopathy.

Your homeopath in Canada sounds like a naturopath, as naturopathy is definitely an allopathic system. It's hard for a lot of people to "get" the difference in the paradigms, particularly if they've really embraced the allopathic one in their training. A constitutional remedy will have related remedies that may be required at some point in the case--but not usually, as that remedy often does the trick no matter what the ailment is, if it is truly the patient's similimum. I'd be quite surprised that anyone who really trained in homeopathy felt the need to prescribe allopathically for any ailment, if they'd really prescribed on the totality of the case and found the similimum.

There's a place for allopathic medicine, it can serve a purpose...but that place is not in homeopathy.

Homeopathic remedies are only homeopathic if they are diluted and succused as proscribed--and if they are homeopathic to the totality of each individual case. Deviate from that basic foundation, and you're not practicing homeopathy.
So you'll have to call it something else, because labelling it homeopathy is just not accurate.

Scientific method, particularly one like Hahnemann's, which was refined repeatedly over the course of 50 years, is really something that must be followed precisely if you want to obtain predictable results. If you don't follow the method, you can't say you're recreating it at all.
It simply is irrelevant what time we are living in, as the scientific method still applies in homeopathic practice today. Do it right: it works and it cures. Do it another way, and you might get a cure, but it won't be likely, and it won't be by homeopathy.

I think all homeopaths agree: if it isn't in the Organon (and the Chronic Diseases, really), it is not homeopathy.
