Thanks for your input Geovani. I am familiar with Hahnemann’s Organon

(5th & 6th editions), Chronic Diseases and much of the writing of Kent

and other illuminaries of Homeopathy. I am less familiar with TCM at

this time, that will change with my continued schooling.

 

My thoughts about integrating them are mostly for case taking,

diagnosis, differentiation, Direction Of Cure (a law of homeopathy),

the Law of Similiars (another of the fundamental premises of

homeopathy).

 

For instance, the one and only reference I have been able to find to

date to both homeopathy and TCM is in the TCM appendix of a homeopathy

book written by Dr. Luc Du Schepper, MD, who has written on both

homeopathy and TCM separately before. His newest book, Hahnemann

Revisited, has an appendix in which he explains the fundamentals of TCM

to people who are studying homeopathy. He feels that you can use the

organ clock and other TCM diagnostic tools to aid in homeopathic

prescribing. This appendix is very limited and I feel there is much

more from each modality that could aid the other modality.

 

I won’t take up any more time of the list to discuss this specialized

interest of mine unless others are interested too. But thanks for the

information, and if anyone else knows of any resources for me I would

be very appreciative.

geovani: Well....what could be the meaning of similimum in acup?

Realy don't know... For " diagnosis " and " diferentiation " , one could say

that in homeop. it is only one movement - the search of the similimum.

The searching for the remedy that will represent the tottality of the patient's

patology. I don't see correspondences with acup. here...unless we could

" simulate " certain simptoms in a sane person through needling. Is that possible?

Now...direction of cure...as you call it, i think that yes. I am inclined to

beleive that the ...directions, modalities of cure....may be analogous in

both sistems. Maybe it is just a matter of attention towards this issue.

Have any acupuncturist seen skin manifestations during or after a successfull

" recuperation " ? I wonder.....as i daid, maybe is a matter of being attent to

it.
