Organon Paragraph 23 and Anti-pathic Treatment

[Dr. Jeff]

Hi everyone!

Here's a short aphorism with one clear message that has been confirmed by many experiences:

All pure experience, however, and all accurate research convince us that persistent symptoms of disease are far from being removed and annihilated by opposite symptoms of medicines (as in the antipathic, enantiopathic or palliative method), that, on the contrary, after transient, apparent alleviation, they break forth again, only with increased intensity, and become manifestly aggravated (see § 58 - 62 and 69).

The take-home is that treatments which oppose symptoms may appear to remove the dis-ease, but really does not.

This is seen by recurring, and even worsening, problems like allergies, ear problems and even cancers.

In this aphorism, Hahnemann makes it clear that working with your pets' bodies, and not against them using antis, is the only way to totally get rid of health challenges.

 

[Dr. Christina]

This is a very important concept.

When conventional drugs, herbs, surgeries, freezing off lumps, even homeopathic medicines are given in an attempt to stop one or more symptoms, you often are working against the body and at best the symptom resolves and there is no improvement in the balance and vitality.

How do you know if the slippery elm, marshmallow root, Arsenicum album or Flagyl has worked against the body? The symptom resolves and there is no overall improvement or there is worsening of quality of life (BEAM - behavior, appetite, energy, mood) and no resolution of any current Early Warning Signs of Internal Imbalance.
