Dear Colleques

New Article on: Boger-Boenninghausen.com/
The remedy relationships are still largely unused in the homeopathic community.
A reason might be, that up to now it was unknown to the English spoken world, when and where and how to use these remedy relationships.
Some of the material presented in this article was never before published in English.
I hope, that this article is of benefit to everyone wanting to further their understanding of genuine homeopathy.

thanks hans. it is essential to understanding boenninghausen's method, so no wonder the english speaking world has not understood boenninghausen in all this time.

i like the analogy you made some time ago regarding boenninghausen's method in terms of footy. i.e. like lining up a goal by putting the case in a position to score a direct hit with the main remedy.
one concern i have about it in practice [purely practical] is that my patient comes to me, and i see, say calc carb as the main antipsoric in that person's case, but a few symptoms that do not fit calc. so first of all, i use a different remedy [or maybe two...but not together of course] to try to line up the case ready for the 'delightful' action of the best remedy.
-> ?will the patient bother to come back for the goal-scoring remedy, if they had a decent improvement from the lining-up remedies?

ultimately i wonder if we need to become as expert as boenninghausen in reading the cases so we can send the patient away with a course of remedies to avert the problem of non-returners?

One way to ensure a return that works pretty well is to schedule the follow up while the patient is in the office. Then call the week before the follow up to remind them. Most people are use to doing 'what the doctor says' and will keep the appointment. I also tell people before they firt see me that I expect a six month commitment from them or I won't take the case, and I explain that I do a lot of the preliminary research at the first visit to determine which remedies they might possibly need as the case progresses. I also explain that they may need only one remedy, but it's also likely that they will need a series of remedies over time.

Hallo Anna

Org.ar.:2 sets the stakes:

The highest ideal of cure is a rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest most reliable, and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles.

If this means in the given case to apply different remedies in succession, then this is the right course of action. If one only gives the one remedy, which partially fits most of the case, but not all the symptoms present,--particularily an antipsoric--, one runs risk to cause unnecceesary aggravations, and possibly mess up the case alltogether.

In my experience remedies selected totally wrong never caused much aggravations if not repeated unneccessarily. the remedies partially right caused much more problems, if repeated.

thanks shirley and hans for your answers.

i didn't explain my concern well.

there is boenninghausen, there is me.

boenninghausen could look at a case, see in one consultation the lining up remedies and the main remedy, and the order in which to give them.

in the first consulatation i cannot see ahead like boenninghausen did, so i will try one of the remedies in the case that looks most likely to go first and have to wait to see what comes up after that.

the tension is that patients really want the kind of service that boenninghausen was able to offer, and i'm just frustrated that i'm not up to that

You and me, both, kiddo.

Dear Hans,

Still reading through your clear translation, and assimilting the information. Its really useful to understand how Boenninghausen's mind worked by hearing his own words of explanation.

I definitely find the whole concept of remedy relationships very helpful in practice.
Thanks,
Leela
