A veterinary homeopath, Irene Villiers, replied to my comments on stereotyping in homeopathy. Her opinion is praticularily meaningful to me because she sees large numbers of cats and has done so over a long period of practice. Most homeopaths could not make the same statements with equal force even if they speak the truth.
To me, reading about remedy personalities in books, is not the same as experiencing them in clinical practice. Because I don't see many patients, I recognize a personaility based on book study or the personality described in books comes out as I get to know a patient even if I did not recognize that personality on the first interview. So, I distrust of book learned personalities and have more faith in the actual experience of the veterinary homeopath below. I use other methods to get around this weakness. At this point in my practice, I don't want to be dependent on "reading personality".
------Written by Irene Villiers, veterinary homeopath
The symptoms in the repertory represent very out of balance states, and not the normal woderful lpersonalities that ALSO are associated with remedies.
Because the nice normal features are not likely to be recorded as proving symptoms - and nor any physical symptoms like shortness, tallness, and so om amd mpr any movement features such as the way one walks etc, there needs to be a much larger and separate study of remedies to determine their physical kinesiological and other as yet undocumented features.
That is something I have been working on for a some decades using cats (faster generation time than humans and plenty of them to study as a cat breeder sice age 7, and geneticist - my study (and book) on cat genetics plus homeopathy combined led to this...). Cats are representative for study of all species as of course the remedy types occur in all species and breeds and plants - and I included others to a lesser extent along the way.
So my recent statements about types are based on many years of study, not just a guess.
It is consistent that every individual has ONE type for life.
They may need other remedies during their lifetime for various reasons - but the type they are born with is core to their being and aligned with all they inherit. I hope to publish it all at some point.
Meantime it is fun to get enough clues to know a type and then to predict sight unseen, all kinds of features known from my research... for example if someone describes their dog or cat physical features, and it is a type I know well, I can describe their personality to the owner in surprising-to-them detail - or vice vera, on hearing personality I can predict physical appearance sight unseen.
Provings cannot help as the type of the prover - and their physical and kinesiology aspects - are not discovered, recorded or taken into account! It has been assumed that they do not matter. But they do.
