Is this contradictory?
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.
using remedies allopathically is just not curative.
And that fact will never, ever change, no matter how long ago Hahnemann said it.
To:
You have to prescribe on the totality of the vital force.
One patient, with one vital force, only needs one remedy.
Why? Because that is how homeopathy works.
personally, I'd redose with the constitutional remedy
[All found by one member in one tread]
Explanatory:
The vital force, or living principle rules with unbound sway and holds all the parts of the organism in admirable, harmonious, vital operation, as regards both sensations and functions, --- [ par.: 9]
Constitutional remedy= a term alien to homeopathy. A medication becomes remedial by its symptom-similitude with the existing disease and its proper application.
