Читать книгу Polarity Analysis in Homeopathy: - Heiner Frei - Страница 17

In 2001, during the initial phase of the ADHD double-blind study, Boenninghausen’s notion of contraindications was used as the foundation of polarity analysis, a mathematical procedure that leads to higher hit rates*, resulting in more solid clinical improvements than was so far seen with conventional homeopathic methods. By grading the polar symptoms of the shortlisted remedies, polarity analysis calculates the likelihood of healing, the polarity difference.

This is calculated for each remedy by adding the grades of the patient’s polar symptoms. From the resulting value, the grades of the corresponding opposite polar symptoms are subtracted. The higher the polarity difference calculated in this way, the more the remedy corresponds to the patient’s characteristic symptoms, assuming there are no contraindications. The rigorous application of these insights about the polarity of symptoms leads to a quantum leap in the precision with which we can determine the correct remedy.^4,5 The effects on the accuracy of the prescriptions and the quality of improvement has been evaluated in several prospective outcome studies (chapter 6). The following example demonstrates the procedure.
