​The body is an elaborate, interconnected, living matrix of individual parts, the whole being synergistically greater than the sum of the parts. Any attempt to divide the body into separate, functional systems based on anatomy, proximity or physiology is plagued by inaccuracies and shortcomings. The functional groups or systems that contemporary medicine recognizes are so interconnected that no bodily system exists or functions independently of any other system. Recognizing, however, that medical schools still teach the systems model, it is familiar to most medical personnel and thus a helpful learning aid. A systems approach to homeopathy is a practical, simplified version of contemporary homeopathy to assist the doctor in finding the appropriate remedy quickly and with as little disruption as possible. Simply stated, the systems approach first identifies the particular system that is presenting a problem, and then treats that system based on the 3 steps.

A Note of Caution: Hering’s ‘Law of Cure’ specifies that healing occurs from the inside out, from the top down, and from most vital to least vital organs. If a patient has been treated unsuccessfully by a number of doctors, or has been chronically sick for many years, true healing may take an extended period of time, and the patient may experience the brief reappearance of old illnesses – normally in the reverse order that they were originally experienced. This is to be expected. Given this phenomenon, it is advisable that the doctor or practitioner have access to the complete medical history of the patient so he may reassure the patient when these illness briefly recur.
