Selection of potencies by medical and non-medical homeopaths: a survey
1University of Exeter, Germiston, South Africa. deroukakis_m@yahoo.co.uk
Objectives:
To examine the differences between medical and non-medical practitioners with regard to the selection of potency.
Design:
Postal survey to medical homeopaths belonging to the Faculty of Homeopathy, and to non-medical homeopaths, members of the Society of Homeopaths.
Participants:
One hundred medical homeopaths and 100 non-medical homeopaths.
Results:
Homeopaths from both groups agreed on certain fundamental concepts. Medical and non-medical homeopaths differ in the prescription of potency most significantly on greater use of LM potencies and greater consideration of pathology by non-medical homeopaths and greater use of a lower potency in the case of an aggravation in medical homeopaths.
Conclusions:
Despite the differences in education of medical and non-medical homeopaths, there appears to be general agreement on the philosophical aspects of potency prescription.
