New Drug Provings

If you see the history of drug provings in Homoeopathy, it was quite brisk from the time of its inception with Hahnemann,and his followers. The net result was vast and voluminous materia medicas of Homoeopathic medicines.

Have we now reached our saturation point or are more efforts required to induct newer medicines? There are sporadic efforts even now which lack a systematic approach, as far as new drug provings are concerned, in my opinion.

Imagine what can be the result of our sincerest efforts when searching and then selecting a true similimum in cases that are out of the current Materia medicas? In all such cases we will never be able to reach the best selection for the required medicine from out of existing MMS.

Therefore I personally feel that we have to exert systematic efforts to add more medicines, after completed provings, in order to deal with 21st century diseases like HIV and advance stages of caricinoma etc.
