Oh my goodness, I think we are being a little unfair. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but we keep getting back to the debate of should we "modernize" homeopathy. I believe that Hans has always said that in order to move forward with our knowledge we need to understand our past knowledge; ie: start at the beginning, truely learn the information that H. gave us, before exploring alternate routes. I'm sure if more homeopaths took the time to understand the fundamentals they wouldn't waste so much time on theories that clearly go against the founding principals and in fact search to "modernize"homeopathy based instead on a strong foundation. But I'm sure I don't need to defend Hans (he does fine on his own). As a student I do feel alarmed that so much of the information I have gleaned is evidentally wrong (and in my limited experiences have proved themselves to be wrong and hurtful); but then I never started at the beginning either until now. Quite frankly, (no offence), I would rather follow a study tactic of boenninghassen (tried,tested and true)at this point and again thank Hans for the information which I believe he was re-posting after a specific request to do so.
