Дон Гамильтон - Гомеопатическое лечение кошек и собак

Характерные симптомы в точности отражают болезнь данного пациента. К характерным симптомам не относятся распространные симптомы; характерные симптомы позволяют индивидуализировать каждый случай заболевания и выявить на их основе наиболее подобное гомеопатическое средство.

Распространенные симптомы отмечаются у большинства пациентов с тождественным состоянием; на их основе не удастся индивидуализировать случай и подобрать подобное гомеопатическое средство. Например, у всех собак при развитии парвовирусной инфекции отмечается диарея с примесью крови.

Общие симптомы представляют собой реакцию на болезнь организма в целом, в том числе ответную реакцию организма на воздействие окружающей среды. Следовательно, общие симптомы более ценны по сравнению с местными.

Местные (локальные) симптомы представляют собой реакцию организма на болезнь местного характера. Эти симптомы менее важны, так как обычно они являются распространенными симптомами и не отличаются особым разнообразием.

Необычные, редкие и особенные симптомы представляют собой неожиданные, специфичные для данного пациента исключительные признаки заболевания, имеющие большую ценность, так как часто указывают на подобное гомеопатическое средство.

Сыпь.Сыпь представляет собой поражение кожи или слизистых оболочек в виде пустул, папул, гнойничков или язв.

Хемоз.При хемозе отмечается выраженное воспаление конъюнктивы глаз с гиперемией и отеком глазного яблока под веками, напоминающее поражение глаз химическими реагентами. См. гл.10 «Орган зрения».

Хронический. См. «Острый» в данном разделе. Хронические болезни развиваются медленно и постепенно, симптомы проявляются спустя месяцы и даже годы. Часто хронические болезни имеют аутоиммунный характер; их возникновение часто связано с неполноценным питанием, вакцинацией или воздействием ряда токсических факторов. Безосновательно было бы предполагать, что болезни такого характера могут исчезнуть менее чем за несколько месяцев; в некоторых случаях процесс излечения занимает два-три года. В настоящее время хронические болезни встречаются значительно чаще, чем острые. Многие заболевания, которые ранее считались острыми, на самом деле представляют собой острые проявления хронических болезней, как, например, цистит или дерматит с участками раздражения кожи.

1989. Hahnemann's Organon is the Bible of homeopathic medicine. The O'Reilley edition is the easiest and clearest one, and although it is more expensive, it is a beautiful book. The Kunzli edition is also very good. There are other editions by Boericke, but these are harder to read because of the translation.

His work is somewhat controversial (some homeopaths believe he strays from Hahnemann, while others feel he has greatly expanded upon Hahnemann's ideas), but he gives a very good explanation of disease and the homeopathic approach, and the book is very interesting to read — and very thought-provoking.
