After prescribing a remedy, Hahnemann followed up in some cases with another remedy according to the signs and symptoms.

My point earlier was that your homeopath gave you two remedies - to take separately (as far as I can gather from you)...and with the little information you posted about the actual circumstances - I simply said that this did not sound like proper prescribing. Mainly because one cannot know IN ADVANCE what the signs and symptoms will be to prescribe a second remedy. I have no way of knowing how much you really understand of David's article. It's very indepth and a lot of homeopaths would even find it hard to regurgitate it with any meaning!

To close off regarding Elena, I don't know why the patient called the clerk and talked that long, and maybe the clerk was carrying a conversation of their own or was giving the wrong signals! or else not, but you're not the only one they can talk to and it's easy to refer others to a counsellor or a hotline as there are many other supports.

Right, next time I will post when I really have time and can concentrate, not to mislead anyone... The point I was trying to make about the cancer patient, but could not somehow because of lack of time and concentration, was that because he was calling me about comments concerning his treatment, I suggested to him several times that I think that he is getting the wrong treatment and that he should tell his homeopath all that he was telling me, but he always responded to me - and to the homeopath, - that he was sure that he was getting better and the symptoms that he told me and which seemed alarming to me were not serious at all and it was not worth telling the homeopath about them. Many might frown at me, but I have actually suggested that once in a while he might even try to go to a hospital to check the state of the cancer, simply because the colon cancer might physically block the intestine and will have to be removed by an operation, but not when it's too late and he exhausted himself completely, which he did! He refused to do this, said the homeopath was against it and the Reiki teacher was against it, so no matter how I tried to put my point through, he would not listen - and now we know who was right... This upsets me most of all, I tried to reach the homeopath's office, but he was always "very busy" or "abroad" and his secretary listened to me in a way I'm sure she listened to the person's long stories, saying - "yes, yes, I understand" and being nice - so I could not help him this way either.

As for me being able to help him or not, or anybody else for that matter, I think one has to be honest (although this surely does not seem nice to anyone!) and tell people from the start that if one cannot help them they should try to look at other options. After all , that's what Hahnemann did to his "conventional" patients before he discovered homeopathy - he chased them all from his clinic saying "go away, because I cannot make you better with this medicine that I know", at least that's what his biographer writes.

So, I'm sorry, sufferer, I was not able to help you and actually made you worse, maybe, so I just acknowledge that and bid you farewell, hoping that after all you will listen to Lisa's advice and find a good homeopath.

All the best,

Elena

Elena, The point is, I was never expecting your help as I said, this is a discussion forum to discuss any concerns on homeopathy, including comments and for anyone to reply if or whenever they choose (at their leisure)!!
You don't even have to be sorry that you can't help. Others who can't help, don't reply because they don't have an answer. And btw, as I didn't mention, that my homeopath is a classical homeopath as the status and over 20 yrs experience.
Well I was very annoyed but it's over now although to say an official farewell is strange since others can come back to the forum and have further topics but ok, farewell!!

There's a contradiction that you have here. You say I should see another homeopath because he takes long to reply to my questions, and then you also lecture the complete opposite, how the world is too busy for others that they don't even have time for themselves?
