Dear Hans,

Paul does not select the first remedy for a case unless it covers the totality of the present state of the patient. However, most people will develop a pattern/cycle of how they deal with stress and will use it over and over. If treated soon enough after the CC started or if the person is using the same responses to similar stresses that causeed or contributed to the CC in the first place, the remedy they needed 20 years ago may be the same remedy they need today. These are the one remedy miracle cures we wish we had more of. You can often see several cycles of a patient but you must treat the one that with the most intense/frequent, peculiar, rare symptoms that are the most debilitating to the patient. I gave Anac based on the persons confusion leading to dullness and mistakes leading to shame/guilt, leading to a lack of confidence and fear of failure casuing fear before appontments or performanc eof some type being required leading to them being over sensitive to offensives and defensive leading to violence leading back to feeling confused as to who they are and how could they be this way. It was a simple case. At the same time in finding the cycle it was clear she exhibited many qualities of Plat and if this remedy is well understood you can see how if it goes untreated and a major shock or grief happens how this peson could go into an anacardium state especially when anti-depressents are involved.

Again, there are no assumptions made, just a discovery of how a person can go into a deeper more debilitating state if they go untreated and more severe stresses lead to them there. I do not know where you got the idea remedies are selected on assumptions. I never said it anywhere in these notes so i can only conclude it is your misunderstanding or my porr communication skills. in either case no assumptions are made when it comes to what symptoms matter as the vital force clearly exhibits those out of harmony and those that need cured first.

Also I want to state that no patients case is 100% predictable as to what remedy they will need next as the vital force is to unique and only the next set of symptoms that come to the surface as the most intense, strange, peculiar and debilitating to the patient will be prescribed upon. Yet often, you can see the pattern or cycle a person was in that lead to the state they are currently in and often they do return to that state.

However, the longer a person goes untreated the more likely they will go deeper into how they respond to stress. Just like many grief cases that initially clealry would have needed ignatia, that get anti-depresents often end up needing anacardium as they loose focus, become hard hearted - unfeeling/unsympathetic (rubric)(supressed grief), loose confidence, have violent thoughts or tendencie and have alot of confusion and 2 wills. In most these cases if they were given ignatia right away they would have never gone into an anacardium state.

So for the record, remedies are not given on assumptions and Inever stated this but you readit into what I was saying.

Regarding the aconite. we knew the child suddenly became fearful when he relaized each tiem he was going to his dads in the car and each time he vomited and would end up staring at the floor as if in shock as the mother could not get his attention and this happened every weekend for 6 weeks in a row. After the remedy that next weekend he did much better and no episode at all. That is how we know aconite removed it.

Then his mother called and sure enough, the violent side of Stram came out at school and screaming at night and being inconsolable all intensified, and 20 other stram symptoms made it a clear case. Both sets of symptoms came out fully in the initial case taking but because Aconite symptoms were more debilitating to the kid compared to the stram symptoms, aconite was given. I have seen Herscu make these decisions many times and I myself have made them often enough to understand which set of symptoms you treat first when it is a difficult decision.

The present sufferings that increased did so because the deeper state those most debilitating to the patient were removed which allowed more energy to be used in expressing what was left to be cured. Paul said in this case often times aconite will resolve the stramonium layer as well as you are removing the fear of being molested and pain which caused the viloent acts towards others and the stram symptoms but in some cases the stram. symptoms will hold and then must be treated but only if in fact they present themselves and usually only if they intensify would you prescribe to be sure the first remedy is still not working. Again the vital force is so unique this varies greatly but again it can be predictable at times. Have you not seen many flu cases that needed 2 remedies and at times was it not predictable Bapt or Kali-bi may be needed as a follow up once the most severe issue -the high fever was reduced? I surely saw this last year in the U.S. as previously noted.

Regarding your last 3-4 statements I think you really misunderstood what I was trying to communicate so I have no further comment then what is noted above.

Regarding Pauls cases, I have read over 200 of them and I am only half way through his 2 year course. Also there are about 55 summary cases at my website homeoapthycuredcases.com for docs and cases can be read at medicalhealthcures.com He has 2 interesting autism cases and several good fear ones (including my daughters case he cured with Manc) and 10 allergy cures and hepatitis and ...etc etc but you have to look through to find them. More importantly I know many people he has cured. Also he has many cured cases in his journal the new england journal of homeoapthy.

I am guessing he has cured several 1000's of chronic cases.

I often get the feeling from the tone of your letter that you do not trust me. I can not do much about that. I can only say I am not doing this for money and only because I beleive his method to be superior for many reasons.
