So why do we offer specialist courses on case taking? Anybody in homeopathic practice that has been taking patients cases for the longest time, or even for new practitioners, there is a problem with understanding what is essential to prescribe for in the symptoms.
For those that have been through the Kentian school of homeopathic learning, that is emphasis placed on the mental and emotional symptoms above the pure clinical symptoms the are present and belong to the disease state. Until a practitioner fully understands the difference between aphorism 5 and 6 and 153 the results in the clinic will be less than ideal.
The IHM has spent over 30 years in research and training in homeopathy using the principles Hahnemann clearly enunciated for us to use. The three-day training course is to focus the practitioner on essentials in the case taking and in the evaluation of the collection of symptoms to find the correct prescribing criteria that is both in the disease and in a remedy that produces that state.
Everybody that has trained with us and applies the principles have seen much success in the clinic. Some of the cases that has being presented to us by practitioners as incurable or unable to help, have resolved quickly by application of the Hahnemannian principles…
The staff of the IHM claim no special abilities personally. We place emphasis on careful case taking, and in the evaluation, a criteria based selection of symptoms that represent the individual expression of disease and can be matched to the curative remedy.
Everything has been stated by Hahnemann in his writings. We just help you to understand it .
Hahnemann developed a very precise and penetrating case analysis mode for ascertaining the precise sx of the disease state. Modern ‘homoeopathic’ approaches do not utilise ANY of the founders instructions and therefore success in clinical terms is not high on the list. I often hear, “but the patient feels better”… yes, but they still have the problem they came to you with….

§ 76 Sixth Edition
Only for natural diseases has the beneficent Deity granted us, in homoeopathy, the means of affording relief; but those devastations and maimings of the human organism exteriorly and interiorly, effected by years, frequently, of the unsparing exercise of a false art, with its hurtful drugs and treatment, must be remedied by the vital force itself (appropriate aid being given for the eradication of any chronic miasm that may happen to be lurking in the background), if it has not already been too much weakened by such mischievous acts, and can devote several years to this huge operation undisturbed. A human healing art, for the restoration to the normal state of those innumerable abnormal conditions so often produced by the allopathic non-healing art, there is not and cannot be.
Too often the physician finds a patient before him that has been plyed with numerous drugs in the treatment of their affection. How much can homoeopathy do in a situation like this?
For this reason Hahnemann asserts that Homoeopathy is only really useful in the treatment of NATURAL DISEASES and that these acute and chronic non miasmatic iatrogenic drug diseases are almost impossible to treat successfully.
I have sadly turned away several patients with drug induced disease states that did not respond to treatment on this basis.
