Kent's cases 105: Totality and individuality. Sycotic excrescenses. Thuya

A lady who suffered from sycotic excrescences became reduced from
repeated hemorrhages. When she would go for some time without the loss
of much blood her totality of symptoms was similar to Thuja, but an
exhaustive flow would add several symptoms to the original picture and
mask the individuality of the true chronic disorder.
One symptom in particular was a cold feeling in the left side of the head,
another, cold damp feet. These would make a young man naturally think of
Calcarea, but a closer study must result in a conclusion that Calcarea could
only result in a failure to cure until Thuja had removed the sycotic nature of
the disorder.
The cold sensation is not found under Thuja, but the case made a good
recovery, because it was similar to the ruling feature of the case.
Now because Thuja removed the individuality of a case with the cold left
side of the head, it is no sign it will remove that symptom.
It only shows that the individuality of a disease must be known; such
information is best acquired by observation in the wilderness of
symptomatology.
The pathologist might score this as a victory for himself, but he only has
learned it from a careful individualization of symptoms.
When the evidence of a chronic miasm is suppressed by a remedy
corresponding to the acute or last appearing symptoms, after which the
individuality of the chronic miasm will be manifested by its true expression
or symptoms.

These little things were well known to the great Hahnemann, and are taught
in the Organon and Chronic Diseases.
No Homeopathist can make a truly homoeopathic prescription when the
individuality of a disease is unknown, or only partly known. The
individuality can only be known by observing and knowing all the
symptoms.
When a woman calls for treatment with a pessary in her vagina, she will
most likely fail to obtain a correct remedy because her symptoms are
masked or changed so that the totality does not express the individuality of
the disease.
The pessary should be removed, and the disease permitted to express itself
in the language so well known to every true Homeopathist.
After a week the symptoms will most likely express individuality, in its
totality of symptoms, and then an appropriate remedy can be found. There
is no other way known.
These things were all known to the great Hahnemann. The ignorant
pretenders use the supporters and smile at the Organon, and go on with
their failures; they seem to glory in their ignorance of the true healing art.
The physician who does not individualize uses Morphine to stop the pain
and reports his ignorance to the society, having the audacity to ask what
remedy he should have used. The question asked, no less than the failure,
shows that he is not acquainted with the teachings of the Organon.
Each case must be studied with a view of its own individuality. The
physician who is not competent to direct the appropriate remedy is not
acquainted with the individuality of his case; and with such ignorance of
his case, how can even a more competent physician inform him what an
appropriate remedy might be?
The questioner could not prescribe for his own case as a general thing if he
would individualize correctly. These are the ones who are wise enough to
direct remedies on their knowledge of pathology, only to fail, and then
have the audacity to ask for the right remedy to be pointed
