Hi Moondancer

It was under these types of epidemic situations where homeopathy really began to shine. Hahnemann had great results using what he called the "genus epidemicus". Simply put he would take the symptoms that where common to all those who suffered from any given epidemic and then identified the most appropriate remedy based on these combined symptoms. Once the remedy that best matched the epidemic had been identified it could then be given to the masses as means of prevention. This has proven successful yet not foolproof as in homeopathy individualization is key and not all respond to all remedies. The identification of the genus epidemicus is something that is as I understand something that is done even now days. So no doubt an appropriate preventative remedy will be found for this current threat. But I am also curious to know who may be at the forefront of this quest. I know Paul Herscu from NESH does alot in this field but Im not greatly familiar with his work. IN my own rural community there are alot over very concerned people regarding this WHO info. Anyone else on genus epidemicus ?
