Abstract

Why do some people respond wholly to just one homeopathic remedy, while others require sequential prescriptions? And how can we accurately  evaluate a person’s reaction after a remedy as improvement, moving in the right direction, or neither? Clarity of these concepts informs prognosis,  posology, and expected complexity of treatment, ensuring better case management resulting in retention of the all-important people we work so hard for, and the longevity of our clinics and homeopathy in general.

This case progression of insomnia in a toddler transposes a tapestry of parasitic infection, Staphylococcus Aureus, failure to thrive, dysphagia, worms,  bilateral otitis media, Candida Parapsilosis, enterococci, and protracted cough, in an attempt to illustrate how the pivotal ‘Levels of Health’ theorem  can enhance and measure 21st century homeopathic practice and outcomes.
