Doctrine


May I here point out that these Doctrines of Hahnemann apply equally to such homoeopathic measures as vaccines; and that had hahnemann’s Laws been known and observed in regard to vaccine, X- ray and radium therapies….


But it was not enough for Hahnemann to have merely discovered power; he devoted a long life to its investigation, and to showing under what conditions it best works. ANd he has bequeathed to us, not only the Law, Similia Similibus Curentur, but also what he calls his “Doctrines,” which not to obey to render much of our work inferior, if not futile.

May I here point out that these Doctrines of Hahnemann apply equally to such homoeopathic measures as vaccines; and that had hahnemann’s Laws been known and observed in regard to vaccine, X- ray and radium therapies, better and more reliable results might from the first, have been obtained; since those who use them have had perforce to approximate to the methods of Hahnemann.

For Hahnemann teaches, not only

The like remedy, but also

The single drug,

The small dose,

The infrequent dose,

Non-interference with vital reaction,

Initial aggravation, and

Potentisation.
