Hi,

The willingness to look at disease pathways from different vantage points is epidemiology. Hahnemann was an epidemiologist and Chronic Diseases is his homoeopathic miasmatic record of the pathway of diseases.
He published this material in the 1st and 2nd editions of Chronic Diseases and was apparantly still reviewing some of this earlier work up until near the end of his life. This work was continued by later homoeopaths and is being carried on by serious homoeopaths today.
Some find this tantamount to sacrilege, others are excited and enthusiastic.
Hahnemann was a constant experimenter, open minded, listened to his students, encouraged them in some areas of their experimentation, gave his counsel, rebuked those who ignored his commands, snubbed or fought with those who disagreed with him.
For me, the success of homoeopathy lies in being willing to take Hahnemannian principles and apply them faithfully in our modern settings.
There is a difference between being open to new vantages and being so anal retentive that one can only see things in a limited context.
Being extreme at either end of the spectrum is rigid, skewed and counterproductive.
Those in our world who believe death is the ONLY solution for all problems are under the influence of the syphilitic miasm predominantly. The syphilitic miasm does not have any one country's national emblem stamped on it.
For me, the success of homoeopathy, like anything in life, lies in the middle path.
