Hallo everybody
Hahnemann with the term ‘’mesmerism’’ relates to strokes done alongside a limb, or the back in order to make the patient susceptible to the remedy, in cases where the well indicated remedy failed. It is not done under the direct term of healing, or like ‘’healers’’ around Ireland do it. The healers around here stroke in the aura, or lay hands on different parts speak something which sounds like a prayer, and then in some cases the disease disappears.
Interesting, also in this context, to read the proving of the magnet in the MMP.
And by the way—we all claim to treat according Hahnemann’s rules and principals and are not using one of his most important tools: The Symptomindex---
This Symptomindex was misinterpreted by Haehl as being a repertory, but in fact it is a Materia medica of the characteristic symptome re-eranged in reportorial fashion.
Since Hahnemanns times it was never published and was largely forgotten. I saw it years back when they opened the Institute in Stuttgart.
A colleque of mine is in the process of republishing the thing and everyone interested who has German can read more about it on:
www.symptomenlexikon.de
As soon as I have a copy, I will report back.
