When a patient has many symptoms and has been diagnosed with several diseases, you need to focus on what is the most debilitating issue for the pateint. If someone has asthma attacks and migraines and severe stomach cramps as all cheif complaints, if you ask questions about intensity and duration and what is the worse thing about each of them for the patient you can easily decide which to focus on. With proper csae taking you should be able to find out what stresses bring on or aggravate complaints and you should find how what are the deeper symptoms that need addressed. It is just like my explanation of someone who comes in the offcie with sevre migrianes and they turn read and are laughing about how painful they are. It is a quesiton of fidning whta needs fixed on adeeper level in terms of how a person deals with stress. In the end, you must treat the totality by finding which symptoms are using the most excessive energy and are logiclaly connected.

Problems like this are easily resolved with Herscu's method of case taking, and cycles and segments and focusing on the excessive energy use.

The only time you should use remedies back to back is in severe acutes when the picture changes as you often need 2 remedies to cure a severe acute.
