GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The greater strength of the artificial diseases producible by medicines is, however, not the sole cause of their power to cure natural disease. In order that they may effect a cure, it is before all things requisite that they should be capable of producing in the human body an artificial disease as

HOW SHALL I FIND THE REMEDY ?
As long as we depend too largely upon scattered facts our claim to be called scientific physicians cannot be said to be the best; on the other hand, science demands more than reason alone, which left to itself has slain hosts of human beings. In so far as the ills of the flesh are many and the art

Manuel Swedenborg and Kent:
Manuel Swedenborg and Kent: I was tremendously excited by what I had found. Swedenborg's thought is exactly the same as Hahnemann's discovery, only more far-reaching. The principle of likes extends throughout existence, and, in fact, is the means by which the world is manifest. The excitement of di

From this indubitable truth, that besides the totality of the symptoms with consideration of the accompanying modalities nothing can by any means be discovered in disease wherewith they could express their need of aid, it follows undeniably that the sum of all the symptoms and conditions in each ind
