◦Teach our students to perceive correctly what they are seeing and experiencing with their patients

◦And from those perceptions, analyze and prescribe correctly

◦Have the practice of homeopathy be more scientific, i.e. with predictable and repeatable outcomes


www.nesh.com

Many kinds of stress We respond to stress in predictable and

patterned ways We see manifestations of stress throughout

an individual: physically, mentally emotionally


www.nesh.com

Patients respond to stress based on their homeopathic constitutional type


www.nesh.com

By:◦Removing the stress◦Doing things that release stress◦Give a homeopathic remedy that shifts the way a patient responds to stress, making them less susceptible to the stress


www.nesh.com

There are patterned ways that patients respond to stress

If you can take the case and think about it by grouping like symptoms together, you can streamline your casetaking and case analysis


www.nesh.com

A group of symptoms that represent the same idea


www.nesh.com

Chronic inflammation of the throat Inflammation of the skin Easy irritability

We would put all these together as examples of inflammation


www.nesh.com

Excessive perspiration Chronic diarrhea Easy quick temper with yelling

All manifestations of the same issue- excess discharges


www.nesh.com

For each symptom that you learn about, think:

*What is that symptom an example of ?

*Are there other examples of it in the person’s story?

*Get concrete examples of each symptom, do not take anything at face value


www.nesh.com

Chronic constipation Can be an example of constriction Are there other examples of constriction in

the story? Once you understand what they symptoms

is an example of, ask if there are other examples in the case◦ Perhaps asthma?◦ Perhaps anxiety?


www.nesh.com

i.e. that constipation might represent something else!

Perhaps it’s more an example of hardness And in the case there are further examples of

hardness hardened glands hard cracking skin. meanness to others


www.nesh.com

Strange, rare and peculiar-crunk it or junk it?

Only pay attention to the SRP if it is part of an overall pattern in the patient


www.nesh.com

When you correctly understand a Segment, you can start to predict what sorts of symptoms a patient might have

We will see the same patterns come through the review of systems and the physical general symptoms


www.nesh.com

A cycle reflects how the Segments relate to one another

No symptoms happen in a vacuum, they are related

Again, all symptoms are context dependent


www.nesh.com

It helps to look for, see and understand that relationship

When using this model, we can start to see symptoms that are opposite to the chief complaint

In this way we might have the Segment before the chief complain, the one that follows and the one that is opposite


www.nesh.com

We can use homeopathic tools to get to the correct remedy

We repertorize on the computer- Herscu Module on RADAR

We repertorize accordingly


www.nesh.com

We like to have 5-8 or so remedies come through the repertorization

From that place we go back to the materia medica and see what remedies come through all 5-6 Segments

When we teach materia medica, we do so through a Cycles and Segments philosophy
