The cornerstones of predictive homoeopathy
1. Treat the person, not the disease (Organon §§ 5, 11)
2. Treat the miasm, not the symptoms
3. The Materia Medica is also 3-miasmatic
4. Case history according to Hering’s law
5. The layers of pathology - table of suppression
6. Constitution
7. Mind of pathology = The psyche of pathology
1.1) Treat the person. Not the pathology
§ 5
Useful to the physician in assisting him to cure are the particulars of the most probable exciting cause of the acute disease, as also the most significant points in the whole history of the chronic disease, to enable him to discover its fundamental cause, which is generally due to a chronic miasm. In these investigations, the ascertainable physical constitution of the patient (especially when the disease is chronic), his moral and intellectual character, his occupation, mode of living and habits, his social and domestic relations, his age, sexual function, etc., are to be taken into consideration.
§ 11
When a person falls ill, it is only this spiritual, self acting (automatic) vital force, everywhere present in his organism, that is primarily deranged by the dynamic1 influence upon it of a morbific agent inimical to life; it is only the vital force, deranged to such an abnormal state, that can furnish the organism with its disagreeable sensations, and incline it to the irregular processes which we call disease; for, as a power invisible in itself, and only cognizable by its effects on the organism, its morbid derangement only makes itself known by the manifestation of disease in the sensations and functions of those parts of the organism exposed to the senses of the observer and physician, that is, by morbid symptoms, and in no other way can it make itself known.
1.2) The medicine does not heal, but stimulates the person’s self-healing power
Homoeopathic remedies do not cure diseases or symptoms. We have no remedies for coughs, diarrhoea, asthma, diabetes or arthritis etc.
It is not wewho heal, but – we stimulate the system to heal itself.
