Aphorisms are short, precise statements dealing with a particular truth.
In other words, the laws of healing. In homeopathy, there are about 300 of these laws. Aphorisms allow the practitioner to know the status of the patient under any given circumstance. Without mastery of the aphorisms, it is possible to heal only by accident. Unfortunately, chiropractic has very few clearly defined laws of healing, and none of our chiropractic colleges, to my knowledge, teach them.
