| A SYNOPSIS OF SAMUEL HAHNEMANN'S MASTERWORK |
- The homoeopath's highest and only calling is to restore health to the sick (HEALING). HEALING should be accomplished in the most speedy, gentle and reliable manner.
- To do this, he/she must know the state of the patient, select the correct remedy, dose and repetition according to each individual case.
- Every homoeopath must have a good understanding of what causes and sustains illness and how to eliminate it from healthy people.
- To cure a patient, the homoeopath must discover the occurrence of the exciting/underlying cause through understanding the individuality of thepatient - her/his constitution (mentals, emotions, physicals etc.).
- The unprejudiced observer must be fully aware of the central state through perceptible signs.
- In every individual case of disease, the totality of the symptoms must be the homoeopath's principal concern.
- After symptoms and perceptible signs of disease are eliminated, health remains.
- In the state of health, the vital force is in total control so the organism can reach its higher purpose.
- The vital force animates the material body and, when it leaves the body, the body dies.
- The disturbance of the vital force presents as symptoms.
- The un-tuned vital force causes disease and health is restored when we tune the vital force.
- The allopathic view of disease as separate from the living whole has made it a non-human science (with the exception of surgery).
- Every imbalance of the central state will present itself in symptoms to the observant homoeopath.
- The diseased central state and the outward symptoms are one and the same.
- The vital force can only be restored to its normal state by giving a remedy which has a similar acting dynamical power.
- The homoeopath has only to remove the totality of symptoms to retune the central state.
- The totality of symptoms and circumstances observed in each individual case, is the only method which will guide us as to the choice of remedy.
- Medicines can cure disease only if they possess the power to alter the way a person feels and functions.
- It is only by experiencing the remedies in action that we can be aware of their power.
- Remedies provoke a number of definite symptoms in the healthy (provings).
- For the disease to be cured, a remedy must be sought that has a tendency to produce similar or opposite symptoms.
- Allopathic suppression by medicines of the opposite symptom causes the disease to return with renewed intensity.
- Only the homoeopathic method of applying remedies to diseases promises to be helpful.
- A remedy's action on healthy humans that has produced the greatest number of symptoms similar to the disease being treated, is the only one that will cure.
- In the living organism, a weaker dynamic affection is permanently extinguished by a stronger one, one which may be similar.
- Curative remedies depend on their symptoms being similar to those of the disease but superior to it in strength.
- Experience has proved the natural law of healing, making scientific explanations of little importance.
- When the correct remedy is administered, that is similar but stronger than the natural disease, the natural one is extinguished and no longer exists.
- Remedies are more powerful than the actual disease, especially since the dosage can be controlled.
- Environmental influences to which we are exposed only affect those susceptible.
- Allopathic medicines cause symptoms in all people, unlike natural diseases.
- Medicinal forces alter human health absolutely and unconditionally, unlike natural disease agents.
- The medicine must be stronger and have the greatest possible similarity to the natural disease being treated in order to destroy it.
- Neither nature nor medicines, no matter how strong, can truly cure disease if they are dissimilar.
- If two dissimilar diseases meet in the same patient, either equally strong , or if the first is more strong than the second, the more recent is repelled.
- Old chronic diseases remain uncured when not treated homoeopathically.
- With all dissimilar diseases, the stronger suspends the weaker, but they never cure each other.
- Allopathy suppresses and suspends the trouble without curing it, and with prolonged use adds a new disease condition.
- Two dissimilar diseases cannot extinguish each other.
- Prolonged allopathic treatment can form a complex disease, which can only be cured with the greatest difficulty.
- The co-existence of two or three diseases can occur, each occupying the organs and system with which they have affinity.
- Cure takes place in nature when two similar diseases meet.
- Two similar diseases cannot ward off, suspend or co-exist in the same organism.
- The stronger destroys the weaker and takes over those parts of the organism until then affected by the weaker one.
- Therefore cure can be obtained by similar diseases.
- As with natural law, the best way to cure surely, rapidly and permanently is to use remedies with similar symptoms.
- To cure, the similar remedy prescribed needs to be slightly stronger.
- Observers must be more attentive to natural cures.
- The one great natural law of healing is: cure by means of symptom similarity.
- Homoeopathic remedies work safely and gently when they are only slightly stronger than the similar natural disease they treat.
- There are only two main modes of treatment, the homoeopathic and allopathic which are direct opposites.
- The pure homoeopathic method of healing is the only correct one.
- Allopathic treatment is presumptuous, has a material view of disease and uses compound prescriptions and other dangerous treatments.
- Allopathy maintained credibility with people because of its ability for palliative relief.
- This palliative method, in which the patient is deceived with almost instantaneous improvement, should be shunned, along with isopathy.
- The orthodox physician treats a single symptom with its opposite.
- This method treats only a small part of the disease, and after a short amelioration, causes an aggravation of the whole disease.
- The salient symptoms of a long-standing disease have never been treated in a palliative way without reappearing worse than before.
- Increasing the dose of an allopathic medicine never cures the disease and an even worse complaint arises.
- The great truth is that real and lasting cure can be obtained based on symptom similarity and the smallest possible curative dose.
- These results, although so evident, had not been explored prior to Hahnemann endeavours.
- Every stimulus affecting the vital force (primary action) causes its life-preserving reaction (secondary action or counter-action).
- Upon reception of the stimulus, the vital force is forced to act in a counter-active, or curative, mode.
- A stimulus (primary action) alters the condition of the body and the vital force produces, in a secondary action, the opposite condition.
- Small dose homoeopathic remedies produce a subtle, inconspicuous action of healing.
- Nature and experience explain to us the benefits of homoeopathic cure and the absurdity of allopathic treatment.
- The remedy gives the vital force the energy required to cure itself completely, inclusive of any slight medicinal disease which may remain.
- The disease symptom becomes worse after the duration of action of the allopathic palliative has lapsed.
- Homoeopathic remedies which produce reactions similar to the disease can cure, whereas allopathic medicines producing dissimilar or opposite reactions, cannot cure.
- To cure a disease, the physician must know about the disease, how the remedies work, and how to prescribe the remedies most effectively.
- Acute diseases are rapid, run their course, and end quickly; whereas chronic disease removes health gradually, often unnoticed, and the vital energy can never extinguish it on its own.
- The exciting causes of acute diseases (including sporadic or epidemic) include physical influences, psychic agitation, the environment and acute miasms.
- Chronic diseases include symptoms artificially created by the violent dissimilar prolonged use of allopathic treatments.
- The result of allopathic treatment is the most incurable of all the chronic diseases.
- This debilitation can only be removed by the life force itself, if given the opportunity to work undisturbed.
- Diseases from self-inflicted disturbances should not be called chronic, and go away on their own with improved living conditions.
- Natural chronic diseases from a chronic miasm will continue to increase indefinitely, despite ideal living conditions and a strong physical constitution.
- The chronic miasms, syphilis and sycosis, are not removed by the vital force when untreated.
- More important is the psora miasm, which is the underlying cause of disease forms not due to syphilis or sycosis, and shows itself as a characteristic skin eruption.
- The psoric state produces disease forms which have previously been mistaken as independent diseases.
- The homoeopath must collate the totality of the individual's psoric disease to decide whether it is acute or chronic in nature.
