Snoopy,

Don't assume it's an accepted practise. Others are saying it is not. But, you rely on one man -- and one book to support your 'advice'.

Oh, and Mathur's book is NOT on the School of Homeopathy's booklist. It's not even on the "OTHER-BOOKS" (i.e. OPTIONAL) book list - books that aren't required for the coursework but may be of interest to students.

Why don't you stop and think about what you are doing instead of taking everything in without scrutinizing it.

Stop and CRITICALLY synthesize (digest) the material you read and refer too and see if it matches up with what the Organon says.

And realise that these are real people asking questions. And any advice or answers they get will have an impact on them.
