No proving has yet been done, and Peter tells us that no "material" was used to make the remedy (sounds very peculiar to me, but I await further info!). As to "how it works", well, I guess that's an open question so far!

As a student of Dr. Hazel Parcells, the late, great Grand Dame of natural healing, I would watch as she prepared all of her formulas from the black box. Curious, many years ago I sent off for the formula on how they came up with the mathematical combinations. It was a difficult formula with angles and a few pages of details. I have it stashed away some where. The Malcom Rae company in London was sold this past five years or so and they originally would make the cards. We do not know if they are accurate any longer. Doctor Parcells healed many people from a variety of diseases with the "black box". She taught me how to use it but I never became a doctor.

Dear Simon,
Whether one uses a chief single remedy, single remedies with acute and chronic intercurrents, alternates remedies, uses tandem remedies one place one before the other, or gives a series of remedies it is ALL homoeopathy. Samuel Hahnemann used all off these case management strategies. He each of the these methods according to the symptoms, time and circumstances usually intermixed with placebos and periods of waiting and watching. He did this with the C and LM potency in medicinal solution and the methods of adjusting the dose.

I don't really know what people mean by "classical homoeopathy" these days? If it is just "modern-classical" homoeopathy (oxymoron) and only using so-called constitutional remedies that is incorrect. Kent's constitutional remedy was just another name for chronic medicines and anti-miasmatic remedies. He used this term to show how they were different than acute remedies. Nothing more and nothing less. Kent used acute remedies, constitutional remedies, anti-miasmatic remedies, nosodes and prophylactic remedies. I would think the methods Hahnemann used is really "classic homoeopathy".

This looks like very strong miasmatic prescribing with nosodes, etc. Perhaps, a few refinement are in order but...? Let us know if you find anymore details.

Sincerely, David Little

Dear Robyn,

Thank you for the information. Although PC1 appears to making a good contribution in the field - one must not forget that traditional homoeopaths have been doing some very good work. I think this work can get much, much better if we do a serious group case made up from a larger group of HIV patients and then repertorize the symptoms and refer to the MM. We need better provings of the nosodes of HIV and to test auto-nosodes of various types. We also need to investigate the system, organ and tissue remedies more closely as they can play an important role. If this work is done I feel confident the results will improve greatly and we may start seeing HIV + going to HIV -. I feel the C and LM potency in medicinal solution can play a large role here also. This is not going to happen unless more like minded persons start working together.

Sincerely, David Little

If anyone manages to find this material could they please post a the details of where they found it and provide a few essential glimpses of the data.

Sincerely, David Little

Dear Chris,

Thank you very much! We are in full agreement! We've been in full agreement for quite some time now...

Dear Didi,
Thank for the information. What does "fully recovered" mean? Asymptomatic? Have you done any laboratory test that show HIV+ patients changing to HIV -? Any CD4+ tests? This type data would certainly strengthen the idea of "fully recovered". We need some of this type of documentation. Just a few examples will mean a lot in the scientific world. What is happening with the other 40%?

Keep up the good work.

Sincerely, David

Pardon me if this is a rather dumb question, but does HIV+ and - refer to presence of the virus itself, or only of antibodies in the blood? Antibodies would be present as long as there was an active exposure, no matter how successfully it was being challenged by the immune system, whereas latent immunity would be permanent but not necessarily readable as blood antibodies.

I've often wondered whether the AIDs test shows only past exposure, and not at all whether one has successfully dealt with the challenge and thus is no longer a carrier.

Dr Agarwal,
Could you possibly send men Dr Harimohan Chowdhury's Email address or phone number. I'd be much obliged.

Umm, maybe not about PC1, or at least not yet.
