ABSTRACT
Os principais pontos que desejo levantar aqui são inteiramente novos e um tanto revolucionários quando comparados com noções aceitas, divulgadas e aplicadas nas cinco edições anteriores do Organon, ou pontos já declarados, mas reelaborados e reexaminados. Eles são, via de regra, pouco conhecidos ou nem um pouco conhecidos pelos homeopatas. Procurarei, portanto, extraí-los como ouro e diamantes são extraídos de uma mina e deixados brilharem sob o sol da verdade. Isto é o que me proponho fazer em benefício dos meus ilustres colegas aqui reunidos. Não procederei parágrafo por parágrafo, mas por ordem de importância. Os parágrafos que considerarei primeiro são os de interesse prático e, depois, tomarei os parágrafos que forem interessantes do ponto de vista teórico.
The main points I wish to raise here are entirely new and somewhat revolutionary when compared with the accepted notions, disseminated and applied in the five previous editions of the Organon, or points already stated but reworked and reexamined. They are, as a rule, little known or not at all known to homeopaths. I shall therefore seek to extract them as gold and diamonds are extracted from a mine and allowed to shine in the sun of truth. This is what I propose to do for the benefit of my distinguished colleagues assembled here. I shall not proceed paragraph by paragraph, but in order of importance. The paragraphs I shall consider first are those of practical interest, and then I shall take up those paragraphs which are interesting from a theoretical point of view.

Desde los orígenes de la Homeopatía y hasta la actualidad, diversos autores han pretendido modificar la enseñanza contenida en el Organon, obra cumbre de Samuel Hahnemann, lo que ha dado lugar a una gran diversidad de formas de practicarla, generando una comunidad anárquica y carente de unidad que no ha sido capaz de consolidarse en el sistema de salud de prácticamente ninguna región en el mundo. Por otro lado, es tema de preocupación el hecho de que cada paciente examinado por diferentes médicos recibiría una prescripción distinta, lo que revela falta de congruencia y unidad en la enseñanza. Una de las principales razones para que se hayan configurado las dos situaciones expresadas es la falta del estudio reflexivo y crítico del Organon, un legado irremplazable que contiene los pilares que sostienen al método para lograr la misión, la visión y los valores del arte de curar. El análisis de esta obra es esencial para lograr una comunidad más profesional, más segura y menos dividida ideológicamente, que pueda resolver con certidumbre la gran mayoría de las dudas que se presentan en la clínica diaria. Hahnemann fue un genio, un visionario cuyas ideas están siendo confirmadas en el último siglo por biólogos, químicos, médicos, físicos y físicos cuánticos de reconocido prestigio, entre las cuales se encuentran los conceptos vertidos en las obras Paradigma holográfico y El orden implícito de David Bohm, que son especialmente relevantes para explicar la teoría homeopática. Su comprensión hace que se eleve el entusiasmo y que se fortalezcan la identidad y el orgullo de ser médico homeópata. (AU)
Since the beginning of Homeopathy until today, several authors have attempted to modify the contents of Samuels Hahnemann´s Organon, this has given place to a great diversity in practice, to an anarchic homeopathic community, a lack of unity that has failed to be incorporated in the health system in any country of the world. Besides, it is worrying that every patient examinated by every doctor receives a different prescription which ultimately shows a lack of concurrence and unity in teaching. One of the main reasons for this problem is the lack of a reflective and critical reading of the Organon, which has an irreplaceable legacy with the principles that support the method, and contains the Mission, Vision and Values of the art to cure. The analysis, of this masterpiece is essential to achieve a more profesional, unified and confident homeopathic community. That means, the capacity of solving most daily clinical cases with conviction. Hahnemann was a genius, a visionary whose ideas are being confirmed by biologists, chemists, physicians, physicists, and famous quantum physicists, since this last century. David Bohm´s holografic paradigm and its theory of "The Implicated Order" are specially outstanding to explain Homoeopathy, its comprehension will ignite enthusiasm and both reinforce the identity and pride of being an Homeopathic physician

La sexta edición del Organon de la Medicina está elaborada a partir del llamado Organon interfoliado o de su copia manuscrita "fiel y exacta", como la definiera el doctor Richard Haehl; ambas obras se encuentran bajo el resguardo de la Biblioteca de la Universidad de San Francisco, California, Estados Unidos de América, y pueden consultarse en internet. Dependiendo del criterio de su traductor o revisor, a cada versión de la sexta edición se le agregan pequeños o grandes comentarios y se le hacen observaciones sobre la exactitud o inexactitud de los textos del Organon. Al cotejar varias de las ediciones de este libro, el autor del presente artículo encontró una quinta edición del Organon, traducida por el doctor Robert Ellis Dudgeon, que podría ser la versión del Organon que sirvió de base para obtener en limpio el Organon interfoliado y editar la citada obra en su sexta edición en inglés. (AU)
The Organon of Medicine, in its sixth edition, is based on the interfolded Organon or its handwritten copy, "faithful and exact", as Dr. Richard Haehl comments (both located in the Library of the University of San Francisco Cal. USA), and that can be consulted on the internet. Depending on the translator or reviewer of this work, small or large comments are added, observations are made about the accuracy or inaccuracy of the Organon texts. When comparing several of the editions of this book, the autor of this article found a fifth edition of the Organon translated by Dr. Robert Ellis Dudgeon, which could be the version of the Organon that served as the basis to clean up the organon interfoliate and edit the Organon in its sixth edition in english language.

O preparo e a dispensação dos medicamentos homeopáticos, em nosso país, são realizados em farmácias com manipulação homeopática, fato que possibilita a perfeita adequação da prescrição às necessidades do paciente. O trabalho da classe farmacêutica homeopática levou à publicação de várias edições da Farmacopeia Homeopática Brasileira; com isto foi padronizada a manipulação desses medicamentos nas diversas farmácias do país. Com o tempo, porém, observamos que algumas necessidades não foram supridas. Com o objetivo de colaborar com a padronização dos medicamentos, neste trabalho propomos um procedimento para preparo e dispensação de medicamentos com o método cinquenta-milesimal diluídos (para pacientes mais sensíveis), sob a forma decomplexos e ainda em glóbulos. (AU)
In Brazil, homeopathic medicines are prepared and delivered by homeopathic pharmacies, which allows for exact fitting of the medicines to the patients needs. As a result of the cumulative work of homeopathic pharmacists, several editions of the Brazilian Homeopathic Pharmacopeia were published, resulting in nationwide standardization of the preparation of homeopathic medicines. That advance notwithstanding, clinical practice showed that some particular cases escaped the scope of the standards. To contribute to a more thorough standardization of the preparation of homeopathic medicines, in the present article we describe procedures for preparation and delivery of fifty-millesimal (LM) potencies with additional dilutions (for more sensitive patients), in complex formulas or globules.

El tema de la posología homeopática ha dado pie para controversias, se busca utilizar lo que Hahnemann dejó documentado en sus diferentes obras, para ayudar a los estudiantes de homeopatía, como también a los médicos homeópatas ya formados, a tener clara la evolución del pensamiento de Hahnemann, con respecto a la posología. Se realizó la revisión de las seis ediciones del Órganon, extrayendo los parágrafos que hacen referencia al tópico de dosis y potencia, para luego compararlos. En las primeras cuatro ediciones del Órganon, Hahnemann recomendaba la prescripción del medicamento homeopático en forma diluida, pero con la intención de disminuir las posibilidades de agravación homeopática y acortar los tiempos de tratamiento, realiza cambios en la manera de prescribir el remedio en las últimas dos ediciones del Órganon. Hahnemann hizo modificaciones al proceso de preparación y la dosis del medicamento homeopático, en la búsqueda que la curación fuera suave y pronta. Los primeros cambios importantes en la prescripción homeopática, se dan en la tercera edición, donde describió el método de trituración y sucusión; en la quinta con la preparación de la escala centesimal, pero el giro más importante, se evidenció en la sexta edición del Órganon, cuando expone el método de preparación de la escala cincuentamilesimal y el método plus. La prescripción a través de los glóbulos, fue descrita por primera vez en la tercera edición del Órganon, buscando llegar a la administración del remedio en dosis verdaderamente pequeñas. En su quinta edición propuso acortar los tiempos de tratamiento en las enfermedades crónicas, objetivo que fue alcanzado finalmente con el desarrollo del método plus, logrando la administración diaria del medicamento. El padre de la homeopatía, tuvo la oportunidad de trabajar mucho más tiempo con la escala centesimal que con la escala cincuentamilesimal, se calcula que estas últimas las manejó en sus últimos cinco años de práctica médica, mientras que la escala centesimal la utilizó en un tiempo de aproximadamente quince años. Se puede inferir que Hahnemann, por su espíritu metódico y científico que siempre lo caracterizó, solo publicó sus avances en cuanto a posología se refiere, después de un tiempo prudente de experimentación, se abstuvo de divulgar en la tercera y cuarta edición la escala centesimal, que desarrolló aproximadamente en 1822, según información registrada en la Materia Médica Pura. La escala cincuentamilesimal, fue uno de los últimos aportes del padre de la homeopatía, con la intención que el medicamento fuera administrado en forma diaria, recortando tiempos de tratamiento y minimizando la agravación homeopática, alcanzando con esta técnica de posología su método casi ideal, volviéndose punto de referencia para que los médicos homeópatas actuales pudieran formularla en forma más continua, según las recomendaciones dadas por Hahnemann.

La Homeopatía tiene su origen en la obra de su fundador, Samuel Hahnemann, y entre sus escritos más importantes está en primer lugar el Organon, que fue corregidoy editado seis veces. A través de la historia de esta disciplina se han hecho diversas interpretaciones de los conceptos principales, lo que obliga hoy volver aHahnemann y confrontarlo con sus exégetas e intérpretes. Se analizan principalmente conceptos como fuerza vital, Natura morborum medicatrix e hipocratismo.Se despoja a la Homeopatía de toda aura espiritual y filosófica para situarla como lo que es: una disciplina médica con fundamentos científicos. (AU)
Homeopathy has its origins in the works of Samuel Hahnemann, of which the Organon is the most important. Organon was corrected and edited six times. Throughout the history of this discipline, the interpretation of the main concepts have been diverse which prompts a return to Hahnemann and confronts him with his exegetes and interpreters. The main concepts analyzed are the vital force, Natura Morborum Medicatrix and analyzed hipocratism.

La toma del caso es uno de los aspectos fundamentales en la práctica de la homeopatía, siendo un arte que requiere por parte del médico diferentes abordajes para conocer la individualidad del paciente. El Dr. Samuel Hahnemann resalta su importancia en los diferentes parágrafos del Organon en su sexta edición. Desde finales del siglo XX, el Dr. Rajan Sankaran plantea una alternativa en la toma del caso para ser aplicada en la práctica diaria, conocida como el método de sensaciones. En el presente trabajo se inicia con la descripción de los planteamientos establecidos por el Dr. Samuel Hahnemann relacionados con la toma del caso. Posteriormente se presentan los fundamentos del método de sensaciones y su aplicación en el proceso de presenciar el caso (toma del caso), para finalmente, establecer la relación entre los parágrafos del Organon en lo referente a la toma del caso y el método de sensaciones. De esta forma, se encuentra que los planteamientos del método de sensaciones en la toma del caso parten de lo establecido por el Dr. Samuel Hahnemann en el Organon en lo que respecta a este tema. Al ser así, se puede considerar el método de sensaciones como una técnica que facilita el abordaje del paciente por parte del médico homeópata.

With this special issue, IJHDR celebrates the 200th anniversary of the first edition of Hahnemann?s Organon, published in 1810. By 1796, in a previous foundational article published in Hufeland?s prestigious Journal of Practical Medicine [1], after criticizing with fine reasoning the usual ways of studying the ?curative properties of medicinal substances?, namely according to their chemical actions, their effects on animals, their external aspect or sensitive properties, their taxonomic classification, or the random use of multiple drugs by the so called empiricists, Hahnemann stated what can be regarded as one of the cornerstones of homeopathy: ?The true physician, whose sole aim is to perfect his art, can avail himself of no other information respecting medicines, than ? first, what is the pure action of each by itself on the human body? Second, what do observations of its action in this or that simple or complex disease teach us?(AU)

Organon , Homeopathic PhilosophyABSTRACT
The question, proposed by the German Central Union of homeopathic Doctors, is the pivotal subject addressed in a series of lectures and discussions being held all over Germany in 2010, to celebrate the bicentenary of homeopathy´s first medical textbook. Hahnemann´s Organon of the Healing Art is the basis for classical homeopathy. Reading its 6th and posthumous edition is part of the education of 90% of the homeopaths, as indicated by a survey carried out at the 60th Homeopathic World Medical Congress (Berlin 2005). This might be odd to conventional doctors, used to read the latest editions of textbooks and journals, but Hahnemann´s therapeutics seems to be ahead of his time, in that classical homeopathy can be at least as effective as current standard pharmacotherapy. For instance, classical homeopathy for children suffering from atopic eczema showed comparable results to conventional treatment in usual care. Moreover, randomized controlled double blind trials using the dynamization scale introduced by the 6th edition (fifty-millesimal or Quinquagintamillesimal dynamization and its products, the Q-potencies) showed that homeopathically individualized Q-potencies were superior to placebo for fibromyalgia or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children, and not inferior to the antidepressant fluoxetine in a sample of patients with moderate to severe depression. More studies using the clinical-pharmaceutical protocol of the Organon are of course needed, but so far its use by trained physicians have yield to challenging results, keeping up with what is recommended in most recent clinical textbooks for the treatment of some chronic diseases.(AU)

Há 20 anos iniciamos uma padronização dos procedimentos para o preparo e uso das diluições cinquenta-milesimais (LM ou Q) de acordo com a 6ª edição do Organon. O presente artigo visa relatar as principais etapas dessa padronização e nossa experiência com o ensino e a pesquisa usando os princípios essenciais da obra de Hahnemann. Observamos uma menor incidência de agravações homeopáticas com o uso de medicamentos padronizados, em relação à nossa experiência anterior com diluições LM não padronizadas. O protocolo clínico-farmacêutico, que aqui denominamos Organon.modus, mostrou-se adequado ao ensino da homeopatia na Faculdade de Medicina de Jundiaí, primeira escola de medicina no Brasil a oferecer uma especialização em homeopatia para médicos. Diluições LM individualizadas não foram inferiores ao antidepressivo fluoxetina no tratamento de pacientes com depressão moderada a grave em um estudo randomizado e duplo-cego. Conclui-se assim que o protocolo Organon.modus mostrou-se adequado ao ensino acadêmico da homeopatia e eficaz em um estudo clínico controlado, resultados que favorecem seu uso como denominador comum entre a arte de curar e a ciência médica.(AU)

El Organon del arte de curar conserva hasta nuestros días conceptos inalterablesque siguen aplicándose con mucho éxito en la práctica clínica cotidiana. Sin embargo,una relectura de la obra, lejos del rigor que supone su análisis al interior deuna aula académica, abre la puerta a un estudio crítico de las hipótesis originalmenteescritas por Samuel Hahnemann, pero también a las múltiples interpretacioneshechas por diversos autores a lo largo de más de 200 años.Disentir acerca de algunos de los preceptos que aparecen a lo largo decientos de parágrafos no significa faltar a la memoria del genio que configuró lamedicina homeópata, sobre todo si se considera que fue él mismo quien corrigióconstantemente sus primeros manuscritos en aras de perfeccionar sus primerasteorías.
