Hi Rafy
As usual you need to go by his individual symptoms with all modalities
Does he know where it started?
What is his work?

They love to categorize and give a name to things in allopathy but it
doesn't really help us.

Still need a whole symptom picture including m/e, concommitants, generals,
and modalities as well as what preceded it

Some conditions just happen to have well defined symptoms, well-defined underlying causes, and well-defined treatments based on a knowledge of those underlying causes.

To missdiagnose or mistreat a case of tarsal tunnel syndrome is not a biggie. The patient may merely spend the rest of his or her life with a burning pain in his or her foot as a result of permanent injury to the posterior tibial nerve.
On the other hand, to miss or mistreat a case of Addisons disease will prove fatal for the patient.

It is incumbent on you to make proper diagnoses.
How else will you ensure that your next patient will not end up dead?

There is rhyme and reason to the scientific method and it has shown it's increasing utility throughout the past couple of centuries, unlike the unchanging homoeopathic paradigm which has shown no ability to develop in the face of increasing knowledge. In the 1800s it didn't matter if you did not diagnose addisons disease because they all died no matter what you did, because the symptoms were not recognised, the cause was not known and the specific treatment was not available. That is no longer true today. Addisons disease is fatal if not diagnosed and treated appropriately with corticosteroids.

I just wonder what it will take to wake you up to that fact?

Do you have any evidence as to how addison's disease was treated in the 1800's?

Addisons disease couldn't be treated until the discovery of hydrocortisone about half way through the 20th century.
