Dear Dr. Bhatia

I do not share your view, that it is an assumption by the historians, that hahnemann gained knowledge about trituration and potentisation during his time in Hermannstadt.

Bear in mind, that there are approximately 5400 letters yet unpublished of Correspondences Hahnemann held. There is a catalogue of more than 600 pages in the institute of medicine listing all the items. Only a very small % has been published. Even Hahnemann’s own tool for accessing the material medica the: symptomecodex has not been republished yet.
So—on these facts you might want to reconsider earlier statements like:

>>Hahnemann has hardly anywhere mentioned his experiences of that time or what influences it had on him.<<
>>Nowhere did he write down what were the influences upon him.<<

Until you have accessed and studied all those documents you are not in the position to support statements like above. Furthermore you would need to become a member of the Freemasons to gain access to correspondences held in strict confidence. Even if you were member of this organisation and eventually got access to those documents, you would be held by their code of ethics to NOT publish any internals. All what I am at liberty to say here, is what I said earlier, and leave it up to yourself to confirm or dismiss the given information.

You wrote:
I believe, where there is an effect, there is a cause and there is a mechanism. Now we all believe in the effects that Homeopathy medicines produce. So finding the mechanish behind its action should not be impossible.

I don’t argue believe, but want to draw your attention to the matter, that by approaching the subject in this manner, leads you into pre-Hahnemannian times.
Empirically it can be shown, that x-amount of symptoms can co-exist in the same person, but no machine, tool, method can ever show, the one being the reason of the others existence. This can only be thought, assumed, and remains metaphysical speculation.
I want to conclude this by an example:

Take a patient with a headache who has a braintumor. Empirically it can be shown, that both coincide in time. No matter what machinery you employ, you cannot show, that the braintumor IS the cause of the headache at the same time.
