Hi,

I know when talking about yourself to a homeopath you should mention previous illnesses or traumatic incidents in the past but what about previous likes/dislikes or mental/physical characteristics that have changed.

For example I couldn't eat onions as a child without retching but now I can, or 5 years ago I could take the cold but now in the winter I have to sleep with socks on, or i used to suppress my feelings but now i've learnt to talk about them. Just how much of this is relevant?

Dear Tranq. All of it is important,the more you say the better,even going into dreams,some subjects that might be disturbing to bring up might also be introduced in the casetaking. Sometimes homeopaths also need imput from a close relative or close friend regards an objective look at your personality. Gina Tyler

Dear Members
A live-history of all events and diseases is not neccessary for homeoapthic treatment. Likewise personality and dreams don't form important indications. History relating to the now present condition will be included. Most and formost your current situation needs to be addressed and is the indication for the homeopathic remedy.

Dear tranq. My reply was regards chronic casetaking,to access deep miasmatic predisposition its best to go back far as possible. In regards looking for an imbalance within a small child and the onset/cause it might even begin in fetus or pre-birth. My reply was not for 'acute casetaking'.

But dreams and personality are ALL part of the PRESENT condition -- which has evolved from the depths of the genetic structure.

Sorry Paskey
I fail to verify your statements.
In your books every dream which comes forth after the onset of chronic miasmatic disease is a disease symptom. Therefore by removing dreams as such, the patient would be cured ??? Or the other way around,-- a healthy person should not have any dreams ??
Or, the personality of a patient is expression of disease in your books in the case of chronic miasmatic disease, so in order to cure deep miasmatic disease we have to remove personality from the patient ?? this means that a healthy person does not have a personality, and personality then is always an expression of disease, actually of chronic miasmatic disease.
Do you see the contradictions -- Do you see the nonsense??

ONLY a person can have dreams.

They are part of the personality and need to be considered as part NOT THE WHOLE of the CASE .


Do you SEE THE ABSURDITIES ?

What? this seems like nonsense itself

I'm not sure that only people can have dreams, but certainly only living beings definitely do (my dog last night was dreaming about running, obvious since he does not have full sleep paralysis). Certainly it would seem that a repetitive type of dream could be just as significant as a physical symptom like itching or pain...esp if it were a disturbing sort of dream like falling or dying. Taking into consideration dreams or personality does not equate with getting rid of dreams entirely or getting rid of personality entirely. Just as taking into account pain sensations would not mean the goal is to end up with a person having no sensation at all.
