Dear Shirl,

It's amazing a novice like yourself is able to find and understand this paragraph but actual homeopaths have neither seen it nor understand it.

Most patients are resilient enough to withstand and triumph over most errors in prescribing; and this happens often enough to encourage a practitioner to keep making the same errors over and over again, and even to elevate some of them to a dogma; for instance: "Start with a 30C, an hour later give a 200C, and an hour later give a 1M." Totally arbitrary. Right now, we, as a profession, believe that an aggravation is a necessary part of treatment and a good sign. What could be farther from what The Organon--our "owner's manual"--actually says?
