Synopsis

A patient enters the doctor’s office. The homeopathic doctor proceeds to the Usual Medical Case Taking: present and past diseases, diseases of keens, clinical examination, biochemical and paraclinical tests. In the end, he reaches to the diagnosis of the main current disease of the patient. Nevertheless, this isn’t enough. He goes on with the Homeopathic Case Taking which has to do, not only with the patient but, also, with the personality of the unique individual that he has in front of him. Is he introvert or extrovert? Does he easily get angry? Does he express his anger? What annoys him regarding affair, family and others? What fears does he have? What are his dreams and desires? How does he behave to his companion, to his family and to others? Is he hot or cold? What are his cravings and aversions as to food and tastes? The aim of the homeopathic doctor is to diagnose his patient’s Constitutional Picture, i.e. his personality in order to prescribe the most similar homeopathic remedy. In the Classical Miasmatic Constitutional Homeopathy developed by the author, the doctor focuses more on the characteristics of the individual during the State of Clinical Health and less on the symptoms during the State of Acute Illness. During the homeopathic treatment the doctor has to decide his intervention according to the homeopathic laws on the following matters: selection of potency, evaluation of the course of treatment, repetition of remedy, change of remedy, therapeutic aggravation, acute illnesses and parallel treatment. Medicine is both a science and an art; the Classical Miasmatic Constitutional Homeopathy is the art of applying science in clinical practice.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Athos Othonos was born in Cyprus, in 1959. He studied Medicine and Homeopathy in Athens, both of which he practices since 1985. He is founding member, head of the Teaching Center and president of the “Homeopathic Academy”. The latter, is a non-profit, medical, scientific Association, member of the Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis (LMHI). The Academy is also member and accredited Teaching Center of the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH). From an early age, his passion for knowledge led him to the study of various philosophical, religious, political and scientific Ideological Systems. Gradually, he stopped considering himself as fan of any of the above. Instead, he has chosen to focus on their Common Truth, leaving aside any superficial differences. Common Truth, finally, drove him to the formulation of the content and principles of the Holistic Philosophy which is based on the Holistic Way of Thinking and on the Universal Laws. Accordingly, his passion for Medicine, led him to the study of various Therapeutic Systems, once again, focusing on their Common Truth and on the cooperation of medical doctors of all Therapeutic Systems. The outcome of this study is the establishment of the School of Classical Miasmatic Constitutional Homeopathy, which is based on the Holistic Philosophy. He has written over fifty medical, philosophical and literature books, many of which he has translated in the English language. Most of his videotaped lectures are uploaded in his web page. He teaches the Classical Miasmatic Constitutional Homeopathy for free, since decades, at the Greek lessons of the Homeopathic Academy, as well as, at the English lessons of the Athens Four Season’s School and of the International E-Learning Project. During the last years, he enjoys the loves of his life: his daughters, Philosophy, Medicine, teaching, writing books and his ecological farm in Marathon, Athens. • Founding Member and President of the Homeopathic Academy • Member of the Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis (LMHI) • Member of the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH) • Member of the Athens Medical Association 42 Keas str. 112 55 ATHENS - GREECE Tel/fax: +30 210 2138577 www.homeomed.gr athosothonos@gmail.com
