Seven criteria for verification

Abstract

Verification of remedy symptoms both proving and clinical symptoms is of critical importance to homeopathy to the accurate depiction of your remedies symptomatology. Verification of proving symptoms through repeated clinical cures enables us to recognize a remedy's more characteristic symptoms. Clinical symptoms, those symptoms which were apparently cured by a remedy can be a source of important additions to a remedy's symptom profile; however they especially require repeated verification of the highest standard- complete and lasting cure of a symptom repeatably before they can be added to our repertory. Any less stringent standard will severely compromise the repertory's reliability. Seven criteria are suggested for establishing this standard, two of which are discussed in detail.
