PRACTICE MODELS AND DELIVERY
1805 J.H. Rausse (d. 1848) Articulates scientific principles of water cure. “Rousseau of water cure.” Critiqued Priessnitz, advanced nature cure; suppression, VMN, healing crisis, detoxification, treat patient not disease, many facets of illness and health, common factors, causes and cure underpinning many disease states. Alias, Heinrich F. Francke, forest geometer, introduces Naturheilkunde.
1805 Hahnemann, in Hufeland’s Journal, presented his evolving doctrine under the heading “Therapeutics of experience.” In 1797, he had for the first time distinguished between “dynamically” and “chemically” acting medicines. In 1800, he further contrasted “dynamic” with “mechanic,” and, in 1801, with “atomic.” In 1801, Hahnemann introduced his concept of “fixed diseases” which have a stable cause (e.g. a “quite invariable miasm” like syphilis or psora) and a similar course. In 1807, in Hufeland’s Journal, Hahnemann introduced and defined the term “homeopathic,” argued that the “truth” of curative healing was not yet “scientifically recognized”, and described his doctrine as “the most rational and perfect way of healing” (Josef M. Schmidt. “200 years Organon of Medicine – A comparative view on its six editions (1810–1842).”)
