| There are many issues homeopathic practitioner may encounter, which are seldom mentioned and SHOULD serve as a reminder there is still so much work to be done in homeopathy. | There are many issues homeopathic practitioner may encounter, which are seldom mentioned and SHOULD serve as a reminder there is still so much work to be done in homeopathy. | ||
| - | One of those issues includes the use of certain terms, words in homeopathic literature/knowledge base, i.e. repertories or materia medicae, such as the word "tenesmus" mentioned in the [[http://www.legatum.sk/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/lhgen/20130508094204/|previous issue of our newsletter]] , or the word "wart" as I will show in the example below. Some may think I am cherry-picking the issues, but the ACTUAL problems encountered in practice, and this is indeed one of them, are really about details like these, and if homeopathy should ever become the SCIENCE of therapeutics as it professes to be, it has a long way to go in [[en:objrep|structuring and integrating its basic data]] (e.g. words, terms and expressions describing certain signs and symptoms, be it disorders of the physical body or mental states of the patients) in order to be able to exploit its potential to the maximum extent. | + | One of those issues includes the use of certain terms, words in homeopathic literature/knowledge base, i.e. repertories or materia medicae, such as the word "tenesmus" mentioned in the [[http://www.legatum.sk/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/lhgen/20130508094204/|previous issue of our newsletter]] , or the word "wart" as I will show in the example below.

| {{ :en:hand_before.jpg?direct&200|}}I will illustrate the problems on the case I was involved in, indirectly, some two years ago. The patient of my friend (a student of homeopathy) wanted to get rid of the "warts" (of many years' standing) on the palms and fingers, and I was asked to help analyze the case. The case notes and some photos of the problem arrived by email – [[http://www.legatum.sk/_media/en:hand_before.jpg|this one]] is pretty illustrative. | {{ :en:hand_before.jpg?direct&200|}}I will illustrate the problems on the case I was involved in, indirectly, some two years ago.
