thanks hans. it is essential to understanding boenninghausen's method, so no wonder the english speaking world has not understood boenninghausen in all this time.

i like the analogy you made some time ago regarding boenninghausen's method in terms of footy. i.e. like lining up a goal by putting the case in a position to score a direct hit with the main remedy.
one concern i have about it in practice [purely practical] is that my patient comes to me, and i see, say calc carb as the main antipsoric in that person's case, but a few symptoms that do not fit calc. so first of all, i use a different remedy [or maybe two...but not together of course] to try to line up the case ready for the 'delightful' action of the best remedy.
-> ?will the patient bother to come back for the goal-scoring remedy, if they had a decent improvement from the lining-up remedies?

ultimately i wonder if we need to become as expert as boenninghausen in reading the cases so we can send the patient away with a course of remedies to avert the problem of non-returners?
