How Homeopathy Cures

 

Homeopathic medications appear safe, natural and individualised for some, whereas, there is an equal degree of strong scepticism from the “scientific” community, which largely characterizes it as a placebo-based, unproven, or pseudoscience. To understand how homeopathy cures, it is vital to understand the cause and nature of disease and principles of cure.

For people who wonder how the tiny sugar coated pills could cure morbid ailments like tumours, eczema, migraines, depression, rheumatism – here is a primer to the theory of disease and cure.

Natural vs Artificial Disease

Natural disease is a morbid, dynamical mistunement of our vital force that keeps us in a healthy state. The power of natural diseases to make us sick is NOT ABSOLUTE. It depends on our susceptibility and on our exposure to them. The natural disease thrives only in optimal conditions. An organism becomes sick only when it is just exactly and sufficiently disposed and assailed by the cause of disease that is present. That explains why the same heat wave, deep freeze, thunderstorm or infections, DO NOT sicken all the people in identical way.

However, the power of medicine, as an artificial disease, to affect the health of every human being is absolute and unconditional. A medicine would cease to be a medicine if it did not carry the capacity to influence the organism’s vitality unconditionally. Unlike natural disease,  the artificial disease does not require “optimal” conditions to thrive. Further, a medicine’s effects will be perceptible if the dose is large enough e.g. a “Poison” cripples the life force because it is a large enough toxic dump that unconditionally annihilates the vital force. The homeopathic remedy as an artificial “disease”, unconditionally and absolutely creates sub-optimal conditions for the natural disease, leaving it with no option but to recede, resulting in cure. As the homeopathic remedy was administered in minimal dose, the artificial disease soon runs over its course and disappears, leaving behind a healthy individual.

For cure to take place the relationship between diseases is utmost important to understand. If two dissimilar diseases co-exist in the organism, and the older disease is stronger, it will keep the newer and weaker disease at bay. If the newer disease is stronger, it will suspend the older disease. Once the newer, disease wanes off, the older one reappears. This explains relapse of chronic afflictions which do not get cured by intermittent interventions, as the latter suspend the former, but can never completely cure it. Worse, two dissimilar diseases may manifest as a deadly combo, further crippling the organism on multiple fronts

However, if two similar diseases co-exist in the organism, then the stronger of the two similar disease will annihilate the weaker one.

Therefore, an existing natural disease can never be lifted and cured by a dissimilar disease, howsoever strong. The cure take place only by virtue of another similar disease, stronger, and minimally administered.

Here are a few examples of how similar and dissimilar diseases interact – resulting in cure or further complication:

How do Dissimilar Diseases Play Out

If the two DISSIMILAR diseases meeting together in a human being be of equal strength, or still more if the OLDER ONE BE THE STRONGER, the new disease will be repelled by the old one from the body and not allowed to affect it. A patient suffering from a severe chronic disease will not be infected by a moderate autumnal dysentery or other epidemic disease. For example, plague fails to affect patients already under the influence of scurvy or eczema. Similarly, those suffering from pulmonary consumption are not liable to be attacked by epidemic fevers.

If the THE NEW DISSIMILAR DISEASE IS THE STRONGER, the disease with which the patient originally suffered, being the weaker, will be kept back and suspended by the accession of the stronger one, until the latter shall have run its course or been cured, and then the old one reappears UNCURED. For example, children affected with a kind of epilepsy may catch a ringworm infection, suspending epilepsy for the duration the ringworm infection was present – but as soon as the eruption on the skin was gone the epilepsy returned just as before.

At times, THE NEW DISEASE, after having long acted on the organism, at length JOINS THE OLD ONE THAT IS DISSIMILAR TO IT, and forms with it a COMPLEX disease, so that each of them occupies a particular locality in the organism, namely, the organs peculiarly adapted for it, and, as it were, only the place specially belonging to it, whilst it leaves the rest to the other disease that is dissimilar to it. Thus a syphilitic patient may become psoric, and VICE VERSA. AS TWO DISEASES DISSIMILAR TO EACH OTHER, THEY CANNOT REMOVE, CANNOT CURE ONE ANOTHER. 

The Effect of Similar Diseases

Unlike Dissimilar diseases, similar diseases can neither repel one another, nor suspend one another, or together form a double complex disease. When two similar diseases meet, the stronger disease invariably annihilates the weaker – and cure takes place. There are umpteen examples of the same, wherein Smallpox completely cures or immunes the organism form being affected by Cowpox, Rhinovirus blocking Influenza, stronger strain within Hepatitis A, B, C or D overpowers the weaker strain.

The potentised homeopathic remedy therefore acts as a stronger and similar disease to the underlying ailment, thereby completely annihilating the latter, resulting in a cure. The remedy itself being a miniscule foreign agent is absorbed or eliminated, once it has run its cure, leaving behind a healthy being.
