I dont think the experience of Joe is wrong.
Before criticising him let us think whether Arnica is meant for those diseases or not??
Can we use this medicine as per the pathological findings??
I here refer the book Physiological Materia Medica by WM.H.BURT,M.D and his classification.
Arnica belongs to Animal Group which is meant for acute and sub-acute diseases. Arnica is a short acting remedy(6-10days).
Through the cerebro-spinal nervous system,Arnica has six special centers of action such as Skin,Venous System,Muscular system,Digestive Organs,Serous Membranes and Circulation.
So his claim about curing so many patients may be true.
Although it is especially adapted to sanguine,plethoric persons with lively complexions ,most Homoeopaths use it in painful conditions of the cutis vera and subcutaneous cellurar tissue,whether traumatic or idiopathic in inflammation of the skin and cellular tissue,with extreme tenderness upon pressure(for all).
And when a patient is under coma due to accident Arnica acts well then other remedies in that case, most of the first aid personals using Homoeopathy don't see the symptoms.
That does not mean you will advise others to take one medicine(Arnica) for every disease.
But If He thinks that Arnica can cure all diseases then Hahnemann might have left a large book on Arnica and no other remedies.[There is no Arnica in Chronic Disease-by Dr.Samuel Hahnemann]
And using a remedy daily
needs research work,
it is not advisable to take a remedy years together,and is not Homoeopathic way of treatment.
