You're right that Kent used a lot of pathological symptoms, but philosophically he thought of the mental/emotional as the underlying cause of the pathology. I want a remedy that covers the entire case. I will also dig, probably harder than many of the non-Kentians, to find the underlying M/E imbalance in the case. I've found that when the case has mostly physical symptoms, the M/Es are what usually differentiates the remedy and vice versa. In cases where this approach does not work, I will look more at the pathology and remedies that are noted for their afinity to specific organs. I do agree that most people are not aware of the degree to which Kent took the physical symptoms into account. They cannot be ignored. Also regardless of what the core of the case is, unless the remedy addresses the presenting symptom, at whichever level is most debilitating to the patient, he will probably not return.
