A disease is a condition in which the potency of chromosomes and organs decreases and the potency of pathological formations increases. Restoring the potency of chromosomes, organs and stopping testing of pathological formations is evidence of the recovery of the organ. In allopathic medicine, the concept of potency of an organ or organism is absent - it is available in homeopathic medicine. The article provides a method for changing potency in homeopathic medicine, presents materials on changing the potency of chromosomes, organs and stopping testing of pathological formations, which is evidence of the recovery of the body. The author of the article clearly understands that restoration of only the potency of organs does not always lead to recovery - there are other mechanisms that are part of recovery. However, restoring the potency of the organ is an extremely important part of recovery, which has not previously received any attention in allopathic medicine.
The study of any issues related to both medicine and its history and biographical facts of its heroes is always a relevant and in-demand process. Thus, in particular, the author of this research article has written dozens of articles over the past 15 years dedicated to various facts and events in the history of world medicine and a significant number of its heroes. But the research dedicated to Hippocrates, one of the greatest heroes of medicine, for a number of objective and subjective reasons, has not yet taken the form of an article about him, waiting for its time. Now, finally, this time has come, and the article has been written and presented to the judgment of both specialists and all its readers. Hippocrates is often called the father of modern medicine. But, in my personal opinion, he is one of the fathers of medicine, primarily European, Avicenna/Abu Ali ibn Sina, sharing this title, in particular, with the father of world medicine, primarily for the Arab East and, subsequently, the whole world. Their joint contribution to world medicine, as well as dozens of other famous doctors and scientists, determined the creation, formation, and dynamics of development of world medical science, from ancient times, and - to this day! The author of this research article has carried out significant research and search work to identify the memory of Hippocrates, in the reflection of a number of collecting tools, such as, in particular, philately, phaleristics, numismatics, philocarty.
The purpose of writing this research article is to present the materials found as a result of the author's research and search work, both text and illustrative, presented in the form of their screenshot copies, their analysis and accompanying comments to them. Hypothesis of the study At the beginning of this study, its author had the following working hypothesis that there is a fairly large number of the most diverse collection materials: philatelic, phallocratic, numismatic, phal eristic and a number of others, which bear both portraits and situational plots, which are thematically dedicated to the historical memory of Hippocras and his service to medicine.
When writing this research article, its author used such research methods as literary-critical analysis of all available sources of information on the issue under study. For this purpose, he viewed and analyzed both medical and scientific, historical, collection sites related to the study of the memory of Hippocrates and his medical and scientific activities. All the collection and text materials selected as a result of the study were analyzed and systematized. The found drawings and illustrations of the found collection materials, after their systematization, were transformed by the author, using a number of computer programs, into screenshot copies, which were used by the author of this article as illustrative material. At the same time, the author of the article, in order to comply with copyright. All materials found by him, have a mandatory link to the places of their borrowing on the Internet.
I would like to begin my story dedicated to the historical figure of Hippocrates and the memory of him by presenting a large philatelic collection dedicated to him. Figure 1 shows philatelic miniatures of such countries as: San Marino, Greece, the Yemen Arab Republic, Lebanon, Iran (Hippocrates is depicted together with Avicenna), Syria, Hungary, Transkei, Moldova, Ukraine (more than 50% of all the presented screenshot copies of postage stamps - 24 copies of screenshot copies). In total - 43 copies of screenshot copies of postage stamps of the world [1-16, 76]. Of particular interest are the postage stamps of Syria, the Democratic Republic of Yemen and Iran, on which Hippocrates is depicted together with Avicenna, as a kind of union of Eastern and Western medicine, represented by their founding fathers [13-15, 26].

This completes another authorial research work dedicated to the reflection of the history of medicine and its heroes, in particular – Hippocrates, in the reflection of a number of various means of collecting. The author is preparing for publication new, large research articles dedicated to Avicenna and Claudius Galen, in the reflection of a number of means of collecting.
