What is your opinion about treating with multiple remedies in patient having multiple diseases. If a patient have too many variations of symptoms then what will be our choice to treat the patient with single remedy?

That question denounces a person who absolutely doesn't know what is and how Homeopathy works.

I strongly recommend the study of the Homeopathic Philosophy, then you certainly will never again put a question like that.

The use if several remedies for several diseases is like practicing Allopathy using homeopathic remedies.

To be a Homeopath you need first to completely change your thought about diseases.

One cannot think allopathically in the morning and homeopathically in the afternoon (Hahnemann)

That's the reason I have many doubts about a conventional Doctor doing both practices at same time. That's almost impossible to be a good Homeopath and a good Allopath at same time.

Take care.

Después de lo que ha dicho Dinis, no tocaría ni un acento. Pienso exactamente igual.

After what Dinis Luis has said, it would touch not even an accent. Exactly equal fodder. Regards.

If you have a very complicated case with multiple diseases, and you get too many symptoms that do not clearly point to a remedy, there are several approaches I've had success with. The first is to try to find the essence of the case (Vithoulkas), another is to try to find the central delusion (Sankaran) and the other that I've used is to ask the person what he most wants cured and then hone in on the symptoms of that problem.

Where does the idea of using sulpher to "clear" a case come from...wouldn't it be just such a case....and why would that be wrong if it is wrong?

Many moons ago...my homeopathy gave me sulpher a couple of times because he couldn't make head nor tails out of me. I only remember not feeling hungary for a month and losing some weight.

Some time I feel there is some room for multiple remedies in homeopathy during multiple diseases.

The French use multiple remedies in sequence to affect different levels of the case. It's not classical, but over 11,000 French physicians use homeopathy.

When a patient has many symptoms and has been diagnosed with several diseases, you need to focus on what is the most debilitating issue for the pateint. If someone has asthma attacks and migraines and severe stomach cramps as all cheif complaints, if you ask questions about intensity and duration and what is the worse thing about each of them for the patient you can easily decide which to focus on. With proper csae taking you should be able to find out what stresses bring on or aggravate complaints and you should find how what are the deeper symptoms that need addressed. It is just like my explanation of someone who comes in the offcie with sevre migrianes and they turn read and are laughing about how painful they are. It is a quesiton of fidning whta needs fixed on adeeper level in terms of how a person deals with stress. In the end, you must treat the totality by finding which symptoms are using the most excessive energy and are logiclaly connected.

Problems like this are easily resolved with Herscu's method of case taking, and cycles and segments and focusing on the excessive energy use.

The only time you should use remedies back to back is in severe acutes when the picture changes as you often need 2 remedies to cure a severe acute.

Then why homeopaths do ask so many questions or refer to different questionnaire. If a patient tells you at his first moment directly about his most debilitating symptom, disease or issue. Would you like to recommend him to fill all relevant and irrelevant questions printed in questionnaire proforma.
