Re: beyondhom Short forms

Hi Irene,

Actually, I am not at all sure about this idea of a constitutional remedy.
I agree, finding the similum is a better description of what we are doing.
 Personally, I am not sure that my practice would change if I were sure
that there was an ICT or a constitutional remedy.

Here is what I see around me:

 I am working with miasm categories in two different ways of thinking.
 That is as close as I get to something inate.

 I don't really know if Dr. Shahrdar gets to any thing inate.  He has so
many viruses that he is working with, I think he would easily slip out of
those sorts of speculative categorization theories.  He is certainly
working with susceptibility in the classical sense and because his present
work is with the viruses, the DNA is involved, he thinks.  So he is
creeping up on inate.

HFA  Homeopathic Facial Analysis does propose a life long miasmatic
category.  I don't have enough experience to affirm one way or another.
 Certainly, when I am very sure of the miasmatic category, the individual
seems to stay within that category for acutes and chronics.  But I wish I
had more experience to be more emphatic.  Grant Bentely says that the
categories are life long.  He also notes that human natal families vary
greatly in the category memberships so that is a vote against his way of
thinking and a DNA connection.  Grant's categories are energy movement
patterns in the life of the patient.  Sounds very abstract but that is the
best I can do.  The facial features, behavior and physiology all express
the same type of energy movement. (Inward, outward and spinning with
combinations of those three types added).

Herscu suggests some basic polocrests as the fundamental ICT.  Calc-c,
sulpher, .Lyc, Nat-m, phos, puls, as the basic types.  Psor, med, tub, carc
are deeper into disease syndroms.  He is looking at autistic remedies so he
gets into Bar-c and Stram as the next level and finally Arnica, Bufo,
Cannabis indiac Hell, opium as off shoots of Barty Carb  and Hyos, Tarent
and veratu Album as off shoots of Stram.

I bet if you were looking at a different type of problem, you would make a
different type of tree.  But the basic idea of some polycrests as ICT is
implicit in his diagram. (see Stramonium p. 25)  I like the idea and hope
it is true.  Life would be so much simpler if there were some simple
patterns.
Ha ha

I just took my cat to the vet and was told that I needed 3 shots to get her
spade.  Parvo, herpes simplex and something else.  It was all in Japanese.
 My husband can't stand the yowling and says the neighbors will complain.
 Groan.

Best,
Ellen
