Dr.Syed Ahmed (SFA) have an example to illustrate this
1- Hot days, loose motions, water, several times a day with pains. (call it diarrhea).
2- Hot days, loose motions with severe cramps coming in waves.(call it diarrhea too).
3- Travelling man, never without watery stools that want him to rush to the utility. (diarrhea again)
Now for an effective homeopath, it never mattered to call it diarrhea or xyz. As the symptoms are varying to an extent that the remedies are changing - every condition must have been different is some respect.
Carefully selected remedy would clear the complaint quickly.
Thanks Nancy. This is a useful point to illustrate cases where the disease state is not best viewed as a single discrete entity, which presents problems for a reductionist science.
