Hey Albert - I post to the herbdatanz site on Homoeopathy, tissue salts and a few other subjects of interest to me. It seems peculiar that you spend SO much time talking in riddles and circles. I'm up for constructive criticism, I make mistakes so please please teach me.

Its often the case that the theoretical practitioner of any art is critical of all and any. Talk straight and make some practical suggestions for all to benefit from.

As you well know Paragraph 1 of the Organon of Medicine states:

The physician's high and only mission is to restore the sick to health, to cure, as it is termed.



His mission is not, however, to construct so-called systems, by interweaving empty speculations and hypotheses concerning the internal essential nature of the vital processes and the mode in which diseases originate in the interior of the organism, (whereon so many physicians have hitherto ambitiously wasted their talents and their time); nor is it to attempt to give countless explanations regarding the phenomena in diseases and their proximate cause (which must ever remain concealed), wrapped in unintelligible words and an inflated abstract mode of expression, which should sound very learned in order to astonish the ignorant - whilst sick humanity sighs in vain for aid. Of such learned reveries (to which the name of theoretic medicine is given, and for which special professorships are instituted) we have had quite enough, and it is now high time that all who call themselves physicians should at length cease to deceive suffering mankind with mere talk, and begin now, instead, for once to act, that is, really to help and to cure.


What do you reckon Albert?
