One can not choose a medicine before the patient is present with the symptoms, which together determine the medicine needed. No combo can meet that need.

Combo mixmakers like to imagine that any numer of remedies witha rubric in common are somehow able to fix a problem involving tha rubric.
It's not true;
It takes litle medical experience with homeopaphty to find that a notquitegoodenoughicum is no way to cure anytig.l It needs a real simillimum that takes the totality of the patient ito account.

Having a mishmash of remedies by definition can not achieve that. The rubric in question can come right ONLY if the rest of the patient's symptoms are in liine with the remedy. Otherwise there is no "simlarity" as needed for the remedy to effect cure by law of similars. And there is no other law that has been shown to work to cure.
