VII- According to Hahnemann, from a therapeutic point of view, the subject of this thesis can be summarized, as follows:
(a) The natural or nosological symptoms of definite semiological value have a primary or a preference value in the comparison of reciprocal similarities with the artificial or pathogenetic symptoms of a definite pharmaco-dynamic value in the selection of the known medical agent, applicable to the treatment of a specific disease (miasmatic), acute or chronic, and of epidemic and sporadic disease, and of specific (non-miasmatic) or non- specific diseases, acute or chronic, which show uniform symptomatologies.
(b) The natural or nosological symptoms of a definite semiological value have a primary or a preference value in the comparison of reciprocal similarities with the artificial or pathogenetic symptoms of a definite pharmaco-dynamic value in the selection of the known medicinal agent, applicable to the treatment of a patient or disease which is specific, even if miasmatic, and of a patient having a non-specific disease, acute or chronic.
(c) The objective, natural or nosological symptoms of a definite semiological value have a primary or a preference value in the comparison of reciprocal similarities with the artificial or pathogenetic symptoms of a definite pharmaco-dynamic value in the selection of the known medicinal agent applicable to the treatment, not only of specific (miasmatic) disease, acute or chronic, and of epidemic and sporadic diseases, and of a specific (non-miasmatic) disease or a non-specific disease, acute or chronic, and which show uniform symptomatologies, but also the treatment of a patient having a specific (even if miasmatic) disease or a non-specific disease, acute or chronic.
(d) The subjective, natural or nosological symptoms of a definite semiological value have a primary or a preference value in the comparison of reciprocal similarities with the artificial or pathogenetic symptoms of a definite pharmaco-dynamic value, in the selection of the known medicinal agent applicable to the treatment, mainly, of a patient having a mental or nervous disease, and in the treatment, also, of a patient having a non- specific disease, as well as in the treatment of a patient having a specific (even if miasmatic) disease, acute or chronic.
(e) The circumstantial, natural or nosological symptoms of a definite semiological value have a primary or a preference value in the comparison of reciprocal similarities with the circumstantial, artificial or pathogenetic symptoms, of a definite pharmaco-dynamic value in the selection of the known medicinal agent applicable to the treatment, mainly of a patient having a non-specific disease, acute or chronic, and, also, to the treatment of a patient having a mental or nervous disease, as well as in the treatment of a patient having a specific (even if miasmatic) disease, acute or chronic, despite the fact that in some clinical cases only hygienic measures need to be taken.
VIII-According to Hahnemann, the natural or nosological symptoms of definite semiological value, but which are of ancient origin or which are not very marked and which cause little discomfort and to which the patient pays little attention because he has become used to the suffering, have a primary or a preference value in the comparison of reciprocal similarities with the artificial or pathogenetic symptoms of a definite pharmaco- dynamic value in selection of the known medicinal agent applicable to the treatment of a patient having a chronic disease, whether this is specific (miasmatic or non-miasmatic) or non-specific, and also to the treatment of a patient having a mental or nervous disease.
IX-According to Hahnemann, in the comparison or reciprocal similarities of a semiological value of the natural or nosological symptoms with the pharcaco-dynamic value of artificial or pathogenetic symptoms have primary or a preference value in whatever is remarkable, special, outstanding, strange, intense, strong, peculiar, violent, shocking, unusual, singular, definite, specific, dominant, surprising, significant, particular, marked out, main, important or original (characteristic), and whatever is concomitant and complementary in the selection of the medicinal agent applicable to the treatment of any disease or patient whatsoever.
X- According to Hahnemann, the classification of natural or nosological symptoms and of artificial or pathogenetic symptoms into general, common, particular-subdivided each into 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees; or else into into general- into mental and physical and local, or else into the characters of the patient, comprising five groups; local, common organic, general, particular or common, which have been proposed by the so-called Masters of Homoeopathy, ancient and modern, and which have each been adopted by many homoeopathic doctors, have no justification in the selection of the medical agent applicable to the treatment of this disease or of that patient.
