Hahnemannian444 is an unknown quantity at this point

That's what his return address has always said, and it's stamped inside his books. It's some college that might as well be on the Moon as far as me knowing exactly where it’s at. What I like about his address is that it's on Hahnemann Rd. They must like him too, wouldn’t you also say?

I certainly hope that the few Indian high-potency pseudo-homeopaths (HPHs) I've noticed calling themselves Hahnemannians do not increase in numbers. It's bad enough that they’ve corrupted the very language by ridiculously calling themselves "classical" homeopaths while proving with virtually everything they say and do that it's untrue. Then there’s the fact that Hahnemann summarily dismissed them as ”beginners," "bunglers" and "aggravators of disease" on pp. 121-22 of THE CHRONIC DISEASES and identified two of their seven mistakes that are readily seen here and elsewhere in supposedly homeopathic literature. Argh... So, yeah, I don’t want such pseudo-homeopaths to directly stain Hahnemann’s name the way they have his contributions called homeopathy.

On the other hand, as a hopefully very positive note for the future, it's very significant that India and other countries have produced so many HPHs, for those mistakes are not so difficult to overcome and that is a common staging point for transition to being a Hahnemannian homeopath, meaning "of or belonging to" the tradition of Hahnemann, which also translates as "in or after the manner of" him. I call them pseudo-homeopaths because they are, but they at least are not the allopaths all others are (Art. 52). I personally think that’s why we see Hahnemann soundly rebuking them only once, whereas he had endless diatribes to offer against allopaths and LPHs. Is this not true, and what does it tell you?

You said, "I have no doubt that all these follow the Principles of the Organon." Well, goodie! Seems we have a different calculus, though, huh? Let us hope they do adhere to Hahnemannian laws, principles, rules, precepts and other thingamajigs but not be surprised when they constantly don’t given how thoroughly they’ve been and are constantly mislead by mislead teachers everywhere today, huh? Argh...

I quote you again for fun effect: "From what I can see of your criticisms being made all over the threads, your GREAT 'Hahnemannians' seem to have an enormous homeopathic burden to carry! Only two in the US (including you), one in India (for 15 billion people, where homeopathy thrives) none in Britain, .... Amazing!" Fifteen billion people in India, huh? Must be a lot of them living in caves. Sorry, I couldn’t resist, and point well taken because I’m painfully aware of it and have been for about the 15 years since I figured out I’d been being mislead by contemporary HPHs but not from 19th- and 20th-Century Hahnemannians. I also think that the historically low number of Hahnemannians does and always has sucked for air, but it’s not my fault. Whose fault is it, though, if not LPHs and HPHs, who constantly reinforce each others mistakes? A form of homeopathy also thrived in 19th-Century Usa, but so what since they were wretches who destroyed and abandoned American homeopathy? I also think it’s amazing that the British disheartened Quin and still haven’t rectified it. Doesn’t, however, say they won’t, and the large numbers of HPHs today give hope they will, right? I, in my turn, have noticed that one of the most defining characteristics of HPHs is an extreme propensity to engage in presumptions, psychobabble and sophistries akin to their general worldview easily identified as gullible hyper-mysticism. I did. Argh... Still, it’s far better than hyper-materialism, for LPHs proved in 19th- and 20th-Century Usa that the jump is too far for them, yes?

Have you seen me name all of the living and dead Hahnemannians I've discovered in 25 years? No! But I can at least readily identify LPHs and HPHs, because they make particular mistakes in most everything they say and do, and Hahnemannians mostly because they don't make them, which is clearly a perception sadly, totally lacking in 99.99% of professed homeopaths, who should therefore obviously SHUT UP till they can and stop making like they can to those who're homeopathically ignorant since they just confuse such people, usually in need of our help, and misrepresent Hahnemann, Hahnemannians and homeopathy. I did. Hering et al. (about 35 people at the start, and never over 150) founded the International Hahnemannian Association (IHA) in 1880 for the expressed purpose of distancing and even removing themselves from the American Institute of Homeopathy (AIH) they earlier founded (i.e., in 1844, three years before the total quack-organization called the American Medical Association) but had to abandon it because LPHs and low-level HPHs had taken it over. Still, it's very difficult to think homeopathically, and all HPHs are also certainly 99.99% better off than LPHs and the self-admitted "therapeutic incompetents" or (by definition) quacks we call allopaths, who constantly prove it with nothing but incurable diseases with the minor fractional exception of bacteriological diseases we can also handle as well if not far better without side effects, iatrogenic ("physician-induced") deaths and diseases and premature-death-precipitating sequel standard for all allopathic therapies classed among the very chronic diseases they admit to being totally incompetent to cure. Argh...

Besides, this has nothing whatsoever to do with the man’s question, does it? And he’s one of the very people I referred to above who are looking for help from us, isn’t he? Likewise, did I not say in the very first sentence to this response that a “great many impressive Indian homeopaths have appeared in the last decade?” Moreover, you are one of them I referred to; so chill out, okay?

Finally, it is indeed pitiful and pathetic that the number of Hahnemannians are still few and always have been. Hahnemann himself said in late life that he could count true homeopaths on his fingers. It doesn’t, however, say anything about me that others find homeopathy so easy to corrupt and so difficult to get right. Okey-dokey?
