Hahnemann's Organon: The physicians only duty is to heal the sick.

August 2, 2006

This outline was prepared by Julian Winston for the students of the Wellington College of Homeopathy. It was printed in the USA in Homeopathy Today. It was taken from the 5th edition, translated by Dudgeon (1893), with additions (where needed) by Boericke (1922) from the 6th edition, and cross referenced with the Kunzli translation of the 6th. When substantial changes were made between the 5th edition of 1833 and the 6th edition of 1842, the 5th will be in italic type and the 6th will be in plain type. An asterisk ( *) indicates a footnote well worth reading. Paragraph 1-9: Basic postulates about disease and what Healing is about. 1. The physician's only mission is to cure the sick; it is not to speculate on the nature of disease.*2. The ideal cure is rapid, gentle, permanent and removes the whole disease in the shortest, least harmful way,

according to easily comprehensible principles.3. If the physician understands what is curable in disease, and understands what is curative in medicines, and understands how to apply the medicines (according to well defined principles) to the disease, and knows how to remove conditions which prevent the patient from getting well, he is a true physician.4. The need to recognise and remove the maintaining causes5. Pay attention to the exciting cause AND the fundamental cause (which is usually a chronic disease) including the patient's character, activities, way of life, habits, etc.6. There is no need for metaphysical speculation. Diseases are the totality of the perceptible symptoms *7. To cure, you only need to treat the totality [NOT symptomatic palliation; a single symptom is not the disease] *8. If the symptoms are removed, the disease is eradicated9. The physician want to make people healthy so they can use their body to get on with the

higher purposes of their existence. Please read the entire content at: http://julianwinston.com/archives/articles/winston_organon_outline.php "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
