Re: [H] Combos vs. Singles

From what I have read, "in the old days" "real homeopaths" sometimes
*would* make up combos for their patients to use, in between visits,
for those acutes that the patient or family were prone to.

This would be an example of what you are saying.

In the case of off-the-shelf remedies, of course the "patient" is
attempting to match their own symptoms to those listed in the package
insert (or, as in Rosemary's case, to what they know about the
included remedies).

But, um, how can A be similar to B, but B not be similar to A? I
understand what you are saying in terms of the *process* we go through
in matching patient and remedy, but in context I think this is getting
nitpicky to the point of meaninglessness. In any case of *course* the
search begins with the symptoms of the patient--why else are they
looking for a remedy???????
