International press abstracts and reviews that are soon spent'. However, Ms Castro does not provide any evidence to substantiate this attractive scenario. The optimum duration time for a potency is 30 doses, moving to a higher potency thereafter to speed up the process of cure. Such an idea of altering the dose each time is not exclusive to LMs for Hahnemann first developed the method with centesimals. Such an approach is recommended for patients with severe pathologies or who have had a lot of suppression. Results can be expected within days. Several case studies are presented.

Nutrition and cancer E. VALSTAR Many of the earliest proponents of complementary medicine, including Hahnemann, recognized the importance of balanced nutrition as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Now, with the wider acceptance of an holistic approach, attention is again turning towards the contribution that nutrition can make prophylactically and therapeutically. One example is the increasing number of factors being recognized in the relationship between nutrition and cancer; over 60 have been identified. The author considers a number of these factors and provides an outline of the current scientific position and some key references for different nutrients. One of the more bizarre is the dried rhizome of Curcuma longa, a curry ingredient. It has been shown to inhibit tumour production in mouse skin. Garlic, onions, leeks and shallots have also been found to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer in animals. The review does not claim to be comprehensive, but the 163 references provided would certainly provide a good base for further study. Nutrition and cancer: a review of the preventive and therapeutic abilities of single nutrients.
Innovation or heresy? A. SAINE This is a historical paper in which a Canadian homoeopath recounts the development of deviations from Hahnemannian homoeopathy over the years. He covers such disciplines as isopathy, pathological prescribing, tissue salts, the flower remedies and anthroposophical medicine, pointing out that in some cases the use of these therapies was based on speculation of what might reasonably be expected to happen, rather than on proper provings. The author then challenges the way in w h i c h c o n s t i t u t i o n a l m e d i c i n e s are prescribed and even takes a swipe at the apparent inconsistencies inherent in Hering's Law of Cure. Giving medicines in coffee? Apparently not a big problem--according to Andre Saine! I found it an interesting paper, and I am not going to spoil the plot by telling you exactly what is said! A good read--it comes recommended, even though I did not agree with many of the comments. Fads, trends and dogma undermining the quality of the practice of homoeopathy in America.

CASTRO Miranda Castro initially had difficulties with LM potencies, finding the palaver of giving patients instructions on how to take them 'irritating and c o n f u s i n g ' . She goes on to suggest that LMs provide a very gentle treatment. With the centesimal or the decimal scale you throw a big pebble in the pond; the attendant risks are that it may cause a splash or dredge up mud from the bottom. With the LM potencies you are throwing a very small pebble into the pond, creating 'gentle ripples
