EXCERPT

GC: Some homeopaths are concerned about the difference between the way Kent
practiced homeopathy, that is, using single doses of high potencies, and
the way Hahnemann describes the fifty millesimal potency method in the 6th
edition of the Organon. On your website it says you treat people
exclusively with LM potencies. I have heard it said that Hahnemann may have
had a touch of senility when he wrote the sixth edition. From your
experience and study, how do you compare the value of Kent's method vs the
LM method?
Dr. Luc: It is not correct that I treated patients exclusively with LM
potencies but I certainly was one of the first in this country to treat
patients with LM potencies in the correct way. However the discovery of the
5th edition split method, to which I came later, was a huge improvement in
treating patients. LMs are very penetrating and fast working and patients
with their allopathic mindset often abused it in a mechanical way (even
homeopaths do it). This always leads to unnecessary similar aggravations
(removed from the 6th edition as not being necessary!) and the formation of
more complex diseases. Now I would treat at least 70% of the chronic
patient cases with the 5th edition split method and 100% of the acutes with
this split method. Results are astonishing and if applied worldwide, would
change the face of practice of homeopathy. My only hope is that the 90% of
the homeopaths stuck in the 4th edition, will take advantage of these
advanced methods of Hahnemann and see the remarkable, speedy and gentle
cures as promised in A2 of the Organon. It is Kent who steered all the next
generations of homeopaths on the wrong path, as he never bothered to use
the 5th edition split method (which he could have-1833!) and with his
belief that the "dose (or amount of pellets) was of no importance". This
goes into the face of everything Hahnemann said and what every observing
practitioner has seen. Although in his Lesser Writings , Kent stated that
"no similar aggravation" is what we need to strive for, he was known to
have caused countless severe aggravations. Unfortunately, even well known
homeopaths today, think that they need to cause a "similar aggravation" in
order to know they applied the simillimum, something Hahnemann had removed
from his teachings in the 6th edition of the Organon (A161). Kent and
therefore most homeopaths under his influence, never even applied watery
doses and never dared to repeat a dose "while the patient was improving,
A246." Regarding the "myth" that Hahnemann was suffering from senility in
his later years, it is a cheap excuse for those who claim so to abandon
Hahnemann's teachings and apply their own frivolities. One only has to
study the microfiches of his Paris years and read statements from those
that were present in those years (Dr Croserio, read Lesser Writings of von
Boenninghausen) to observe that until the last days of his life he remained
a staunch intellectual, industrious 'till the end to provide us with his
last legacy, the LM potency. For more about this split method and
Hahnemann’s later years, I refer the reader to my book, " Achieving and
Maintaining the Simillimum."
