I was told this is considered lesional prescribing, where organs are becoming damaged or weakened as their homeopathic disease has progressed thus also their allopathic named diseases.
Dr. Joe,
There is certainly a need for this as many people wait too late to seek alternative medical help as many of the patients you have described seem to.
I may need this type of prescribing one day as while my constitutional treatment is progressing, so are my miasmatic based diseases.
Kind of a race, will my kidneys, pancreas, liver, eyes, blood vessels, heart suffer irreparable organ damage while I wait for the possibility of the classical homeopathic cure which includes organs as well as all psora based ills, as described by Hahnemann.
Instead of using homeopathic remedies for short term help that may be confusing to my vital force while taking constitutional remedies for long term/permanent cure, I opt for naturopathic methods, using herbal, vitamins, etc. and have been urged by my current homeopath to see a naturopath. Since I have a long history of diverse health systems pointing to liver insufficiencies, I find many liver related herbs and vitamins helpful.. I recently found shiitake mushrooms helpful, that based on it's "super beneficial" status for type B blood, as taught by D'Adamo in his blood type diet plans.
Since you never called your practice classical homeopathy and most, even you, don't consider it that, what school is this type of organ based prescribing and combo complexes taught, if at all? If Hahnemann didn't prescribe and describe how to in the Organon, who did? We'd need someone who looked at Hahnemann's casebooks to see if he ever practiced this way, treating organs, then treating constitutionally.
While I applaud you for being able to tackle these more serious medical cases, as most non-medical lay homeopaths could not, if these quasi-ER style cases were to have pursued classical homeopaths early on, could it have obviated the need to seek this type of emergency help?
Still not sure how mixing the remedies as you do and administering all at once always ensures a successful outcome. While herbal synergy is discussed and promoted, not clear how it is shown to actually be true, how can it be also be shown reliably that homeopathic synergy actually exists, unless it is specifically a phenomenon of organs?

Subject: [H] Combos and complexes
If I still had some hair on my head, they would stand straight right now, in
orror and awe at reading the total lack of knowledge and misunderstanding
bout the real, scientific, way to use complex remedies.
Some of us DO know homeopathy inside out at all levels......
I am not talking about the OTC, commercially prepared bottles, "this for
hat": this is allopathy indeed, using dynamised substances, not homeopathy.
I am not talking about the complex remedies used in Homotoxicology,
nthroposophical Medicine, Homeobotanical medicine, or the Reckeweg system:
hose are homotoxicological, anthroposophical, homeobotanical and Reckeweg
emedies prescribed according to their respective principles of practice,
nd they do not call themselves Homeopaths.
The complexist approach is different: first it is a clinical,
athology-oriented approach, aimed at treating a state of disease in a
ystem or organ of a patient, using the symptoms, signs and modalities
eveloped by that system/organ and not relating to "totality" of the patient
Example: a patient with liver insufficiency or hepatitis; most of the
eneral symptoms and signs that I would include in a
lassical/Hahnemaniann/Kentian approach are the result of the metabolic
mbalance due to the liver situation. Any "constitution", any "miasm" will
resent with almost the same clinical symptoms and the few individual
ariations specific to a patient are not enough to prescribe upon, if at all
erceptible. Therefore it is indicated to treat the liver status first,
emove the pathological symptoms and signs, THEN get to the essential core
f the problem that has led to liver insufficiency or hepatitis.
Within that plan it is possible to "take the case" of an organ: which part
f the liver is enlarged leads to different remedies, the local symptoms,
ggravations, amelioration and modalities will provide a list of different
emedies. So far nothing much different.....but we are here dealing with a
ery physical system where physiology and biochemistry are perturbed; the
ifferent remedies have different modes of actions (and some of us know them
hen studied from a herbalist point of view, just compare the MM for
araxacum, Silybum and Cynara in herbal and homeopathic textbooks....) and
espite what many have written, they DO work in synergy.
In situations like that, what is important is not to know which remedy was
ffective, but that the TREATMENT was effective, the patient is back to his
ormal previous status, now we can go on and treat deeply.
Here is a treatment I prescribed yesterday to a colleague in his seventies
ith sudden (a few months ago) appearance of a mitral valve prolapse with
lowly progressing heart failure and shortness of breath.
Those are the rubrics I used (Mac Rep and RefWorks):
Heart & circulation; HEART and region of; valves, valvular complaints;
itral (27)
Respiration; GASPING; heart complaints, in (1)
Generalities; HEART complaints, in (311)
Respiration; DIFFICULT; heart complaints, in (67)
Respiration; DIFFICULT; heart complaints, in; valvular (2)
Mitral valve prolapse (4) :
Mitral valve (47) : Respiration; DIFFICULT; exertion agg. (123)
Heart & circulation; EXERCISE, after; slight (50)
The major remedies that appeared useful here are Lauroceraseus, Strophantus
nd Apocynum Cannabinum. I eliminated the animal remedies (snakes...) as
eing too potent for him right now and the others as not being sufficiently
eart specific, settled on those 3 using HERBAL indications, which are
xactly the same in homeopathic materia medicas, only more developed....so
es, you could say this is a herbal prescription using potentised herbs, if
ou want.
As a first stage he will take them separately, for a simple reason: IMO he
ill be able to stop the Apocynum quickly, if that prescription works, then
e can adapt the doses of the others (that is the PLURALISTIC approach),
hen both remaining remedies will be put together to form a combo/complex
pecific to his cardiac condition and prepared according to repertorisation
nd materia medica.
That is how you create a combo/complex remedy, that is how you use multiple
emedies at the same time.
What is not acceptable for practitioners is to throw into the same bottle
emedies that vaguely related to a few symptoms and hope for the best.
Have a Happy New Year and a Merry Hanukkah.
Joe.
