Re: [H] Combos vs. Singles

It's worth noting that some of what we call combination remedies are
truly not-homeopathy, and their makers are not calling them
homeopathic, although they do use (combinations of) various substances
*in potency*. I am thinking of e.g. Apex Energetics, and can't
remember the other names. I'm remembering Apex remedies containing a
large mix of names we have as homeopathic remedies (maybe sepia, puls,
or etc.) and also nosodes and/or sarcodes, maybe e.g. histaminum,
liver, and a wide range of possibilities.

Those I would say act more along the lines of herbal remedies. They
can be very useful. I don't know whether they may eventually confuse
the case, but in the short run they do not appear to. But in any
case, they are well outside the realm of homeopathy for our purposes.
