Joe is simply trying to tell his experience with Arnica. He never claimed that it will be useful for each and everybody. His feedback is that it is helping many people.

May I know what is meant by 'clinical' symtoms? Are they to be accepted as symptoms or not?

Perhaps, we will accept them, if a Kent or Clarke says it.!!

Don't have preconceived notions. Materia Medica can be evolved continuously. All experiments should be welcome, and the results are to be verified.

You can't scare away people, from telling their experiences. It is upto you to take it or leave it. Better still, experiment with what is being told, and tell your experience with it.

When Joe said Nat.Phos 6X cures obesity, I tried, but it didn't help me. I told him about this. But, there are many people benifitted by it. Who, knows, one day, it may become the number one remedy for treatment of obesity.

There are certain things called 'specifics' in homeopathy, and many believe in them, if not yourself.

Is classical homeopathy a static one, where no more additions can be made, be it in enlarging materia medica, selection of potency, or methods of administration?
