Priorities in Singling Out a Set of Impressions

The Set

Cones of thuja orientalis constitute one of the select remedies. Some pass that plant every day. You could make a remedy from it!

There is a singled-out set of potentised impressions on the site. They may offer special benefits (below) compared to other potentised remedies. And there may be many millions of potential remedies to look into.

Any substance and chemical compound can be turned into a homeopathic remedy. So may any insect, animal part (tongue, liver, glands etc), and various parts of plants - and whole herbs. The combined concentrations of chemical elements can differ from one plant part to another, and from plant to plant of the same species, depending on the soil and regular conditions. Much depends on the growth conditions of the plants - potato should not be exposed to sunlight, or it may become toxic (the green parts that develop in such cases)

A further thing worth noting is that by heating and drying plant products, their chemical properties change. Thus, some plant parts that are somewhat poisonous while fresh, become eatable products when cooked for a while - and sprouting changes the seeds remarkably too, as a result of the work of enzymes.

This simple scenario shows that it is possible to produce millions of different homeopathic remedies, and thereby add to the few thousand conventional ones.

My select set contains several remedies that are not described in ordinary texts on homeopathy, and others that are only meagrely described elsewhere. To try them, you could have to prepare them yourself, as most pharmacies do not sell them. The British MGA sells software for producing most of these added remedies, though.

Why one more set of select remedies?

Question: Why focus on these remedies and not others?

An answer: For the sake of administering clearly defined remedies with the prospect of more success. After examining the human life and conditions I saw that some remedies help more and better in setting it in order than other remedies.

I found I could form a better set of remedies than the current ones. After biting through misfortunes - mine and those of others - it might happen that many others may benefit from the remedies too. However, what some persons may truly need in the long run, is clarity of moral stands that many troubles seem to call for between the lines. Proficient changes in the ways of living should be contemplated along with thanking for remedies given - and why?

A partial answer: Since there are no particular substances in most homeopathic remedies (of potencies of D5 and above) that can work effectively on organisms,I suggest that homeopathic remedies could be worth a try against psychogenic diseases and various psychological and relational disturbances. Some common diseases are clearly stress-related, and they point at problems (read: challenges) to be solved to one's ability. Both the psycho and somatic aspects of psychosomatic symptoms may vanish if people improve their relationships.

Yet, as long as extensive research on the claimed effects of my remedies is missing, it is necessery to be careful and cautious. That is the correct standpoint for now. I also mind Buddha's views on healing efforts.

Room for More

Testing out properly the workings of each added remedy is thought to be be time-consuming and wearisome. And the said effects of the remedies - both old and newer ones - needs to be debated, because not all homeopathic provings are extensive enough to be taken as final words of wisdom. There are some sources of error to take into account as well; it is not sure whether all homeopathic provings are sound provings either.

Nearly three decades ago I thought it best to limit the array of remedies according to plan. Several thousand of possible remedies were looked into as the set began to take shape.

Basic Priorities behind It

1. GET A WIDE, DECENT COVERAGE: We want a wide enough range of remedies - in other words a set of remedies that together may cure the recurrent troubles that homeopathic remedies may help against - and correct the most severe imbalances in human beings in general, and can blend well with one another in any combination. And a minimum of overlaps among these remedies.

2. EXCLUDE REMEDIES THAT APPEAR TO HAVE SIMILAR WORKINGS AS FAR AS IS CONVENIENT: We don't really need many remedies that are very similar in their effects and thus overlap a lot. We want the remedies that cover major symptoms (diseases) best in the most frequent maladies or cases.

3. INCLUDE NO COUNTERACTING REMEDIES IN THE SET: Since the homeopathic texts tell that some remedies counteract others, the set of remedies ideally needs to exclude homeopathically counteracting remedies (agents).

4. TOP STURDY REMEDIES: Since the possible or claimed effects of many homeopathic remedies - but not all remedies - are said to be weakened and disappear in the continued presence of such as coffee and other stimulants (possible foods too), let the chosen remedies be the most sturdy ones too - or at least as sturdy as possible too.

5. MINIMUM DANGERS OF USE: It is thought in homeopathic texts that some remedies have a more violent (severe) and prolonged aggravation effects ("healing crisis effect") for some time than others. Find the gentle ones.

6. ADDED AFTERWARDS: STABLE UPKEEP of the health-favouring remedy influence after intake in the face of untoward influences, "barricading", and so on. This means the effects are to be as lasting as can be. That seems favourable in the face of chonic diseases.

My select set of some 500 remedies so far should conform to the first five preconditions formed. In special cases other remedies, and some of those in current homeopathic lists, could serve particular needs better, though. There is such a possibility.
