"You can know one drug from another by studying their points
of difference. Drugs impinge in their resemblance and separate in
their difference. Drugs, which produce similar symptoms or affect
similar organs and tissues of the body, are similar to one another.
They can only be differentiated by the study of their mentals and
modalities of the drug.( Dr Farrington)"
What often makes a cure hard is the laying of too much stress upon
some particular factor at the expense of the disease picture as
a whole thus destroying its symmetry and forming a distorted conception
of the natural image of the sickness. This does not, however, mean
that all symptoms stand on the same level for certain effects must
be more prominent than others, yet be part and parcel of them. This
is the sense in which we must learn to know our remedies, just as
we do our friends by their air or personality, and ever-changing
composite effect, but always reflecting the same motive.
Repertory is an aid to the Materia Medica . When you find indicated
medicine or medicines through repertorisation, you should not
be satisfied with it but you must read the pathogenesis effects
of the medicine in the Materia Medica to see that other symptoms
including those we have taken for repertory work are found in the
same medicine and get confirmed the medicine by comparing the symptoms
of the case. The remedy which comes through repertorisation is best
described in Materia Medica and not in the repertory.
Only by such procedure we can come to the similimum. Dr Kent advises that
at the final stage of differentiation when the choice has been limited
to a few remedies the Homeopathic Materia Medica should be studied
carefully and the selection of the remedy finally made on the basis
of the picture presented in it.. WE DO NOT HAVE DRUGS FOR DISEASE
BUT HAVE DRUGS FOR INDIVIDUALS.
