- Time
- has
- come
- for
- a
- serious
- dialogue
- regarding
- a
- scientific
- REDEFINING
- and
- rational
- rebuilding
- of
- the
- fundamental
- principles
- and
- methods
- of
- Homeopathy.
- Rebuilding
- of
- the
- whole
- system
- is
- essential,
- to
- emancipate
- this
- powerful
- therapeutic
- art
- from
- the
- clutches
- of
- unscientific,
- metaphysical
- and
- vitalistic
- ideologies.
- Modern
- scientific
- knowledge
- and
- its
- technologies
- have
- evolved
- into
- such
- a
- state
- of
- maturity
- that
- we
- can
- now
- at
- least
- attempt
- with
- their
- help
- to
- provide
- a
- scientific
- and
- satisfactory
- explanation
- for
- the
- centuries-old
- mysteries
- and
- riddles
- associated
- with
- this
- wonderful
- therapeutic
- system.
- Such
- a
- fundamental
- re-building
- shall
- obviously
- result
- in
- finally
- enthroning
- homeopathy
- on
- its
- rightful
- status
- as
- the
- most
- advanced
- branch
- of
- modern
- medical
- science,
- unfairly
- denied
- for
- more
- than
- last
- two
- hundred
- years.
In
- this
- modern
- era
- of
- scientific
- enlightenment
- and
- technological
- advance,
- we
- can
- no
- longer
- hope
- to
- proceed
- further
- ahead
- with
- Homeopathy,
- without
- the
- help
- of
- a
- well
- proven
- and
- universally
- acceptable
- scientific
- THEORY
- an
- PRACTICE.
- We
- can
- no
- longer
- hope
- to
- depend
- merely
- upon
- certain
- set
- of
- somewhat
- mysterious
- 'quotes'
- and
- philosophical
- speculations
- inherited
- from
- our
- great
- masters
- and
- 'stalwarts'.
- It
- is
- very
- important
- that
- Homeopathy
- has
- to
- be
- first
- of
- all
- dealt
- with
- as
- a
- subject
- of
- science,
- not
- as
- a
- religion
- or
- philosophy.
- Essentially,
- the
- principles
- of
- Homeopathy
- have
- to
- achieve
- the
- right
- to
- be
- recognized
- as
- part
- of
- modern
- medical
- science.
- To
- begin
- with,
- it
- has
- to
- attain
- acceptability
- among
- the
- modern
- scientific
- community,
- at
- least
- in
- terms
- of
- methodology,
- and
- paradigms.
I
- would
- like
- to
- entitle
- this
- emerging
- 'REDEFINED'
- scientific
- version
- as
- Dialectical
- Homeopathy,
- since
- this
- reclaiming
- is
- essentially
- achieved
- utilizing
- the
- theoretical
- tools
- of
- dialectical
- methodology.
- Dialectical
- Homeopathy
- is
- basically
- an
- innovative
- and
- positive
- enhancement
- of
- classical
- Hahnemannian
- Homeopathy,
- and
- as
- such,
- may
- be
- considered
- as
- its
- 'dialectical
- negation'
- at
- large.
- Historically,
- it
- represents
- a
- qualitatively
- higher
- stage
- in
- the
- natural
- evolutionary
- growth
- and
- maturation
- of Homeopathy.
