APPLICATION OF ORGANON ★ Thus it prepares the homoeopathic physician to learn the fundamentals of Homoeopathy ★ To practice HEALING ART ★ Its the natural science, so it is the gift to Humanity as the greatest healing art. ★ It is the only system of medicine which CURES ★ Organon teaches us scope and limitaltions of HOMOEOPATHY ★ The detailed discussion on FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF HOMOEOPATHY, CASE TAKING, DRUG PROVING, PHARMACY

APHORISM 1 ★ MISSION : The physician’s high and only MISSION is to restore the sick to health, to cure as it is termed ★ Disease originates in the interior of man, its a morbid vital processes not just the visible pathology ★ Theoretic Medicine : ★ Based on empty speculation, hypothesis ★ Not based on any law and principle ★ Old school medicine ★ Materialistic approach ★ BEGIN NOW

★ IDEAL CURE ★ The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle, permanent restoration of health in its whole extent in most reliable way on easily comprehensible principles ★ The cure is based on Law of Similia in Homoeopathy ★ The cardinal principles of Homoeopathy APHORISM 2 IDEAL CURE

★ KNOWLEDGES OF PHYSICIAN ★ T o achi e v e Mission ★ T o achi e v e Idea l Cu r e ★ T o kn o w K n o wled g e o f Disease ★ T o kn o w kn o wled g e o f Medicine ★ To know knowledge of Posology ★ To know knowledge of obstacles to cure APHORISM 3 KNOWLEDGES OF PHYSICIAN

APHORISM 4 PRESERVER OF HEALTH ★ Physician is Preserver of Health ★ If he knows the things that derange health ★ The causes of diseases ★ In the patient ★ In the healthy person ★ PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE ★ Constitutional Medicine ★ Antimiasmatic Medicine ★ Genus Epidemicus

APHORISM 5 CAUSES OF DISEASES ★ CAUSES OF CHRONIC DISEASES ★ FUNDAMENTAL cause ★ MAINTAINING cause ★ IMPORTANCE OF CONSTITUTION in chronic disease: DIET, MODE OF LIVING, OCCUPATION, HABITS, SOCIAL AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS, AGE, OCCUPATION, SEXUAL FUNCTION MORAL AND INTELLECTUAL CHARACTERS ★ CAUSES OF ACUTE DISEASES ★ EXCITING cause ★ The most important aspect of cure is to treat the cause of diseases

★ PHYSICIAN IS UNPREJUDICED OBSERVER ★ CASE TAKING - Notes the changes in the health of mind and body of patient by his SENSES ★ Deviations from former healthy state of the now diseased individual felt by patient, observed by relatives and physician ★ PORTRAIT OF DISEASE ★ PHYSICIAN GIVES RATIONAL AND RADICAL TREATMENT ★ He grasps the symptoms which are related to the interior of the organism ★ The spiritual being- produces the symptoms cognizable by physician’s senses ★ The old school physician sees the morbid symptoms of organ pathology APHORISM 6 UNPREJUDICED OBSERVER

APHORISM 7 T OTALITY OF SYMPTOMS ★ TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS: is the outwardly reflected picture of internal deranged vital force ★ Disease is sum of symptoms which are due to morbid phenomena of deranged vital force ★ Totality of Symptoms are the sole indicators for the choice of similimum

APHORISM 8 REMOVAL OF SYMPTOM IS REMOVAL OF DISEASE ★ Hufeland’s comment : Homoeopathy removes symptoms but disease remains ★ Cure is removal of morbid symptoms and disappearance of signs ★ NO DISEASE REMAINS THEN, ONCE SYMPTOMS ARE REMOVED ★ Dr. Kent says ★ Removal of TOTALITY IS REMOVAL OF CAUSES- ★ TOTALITY CONTAINS CAUSES ALONG WITH SYMPTOMS ★ So when symptoms are removed patient is cured

APHORISM 9 VITAL FORCE ★ SPIRITUAL VITAL FORCE ★ THE REASON GIFTED MIND CAN FREELY EMPLOY THIS LIVING HEALTHY INSTRUMENT FOR THE HIGHER PURPOSE OF EXISTENCE ★ HEALTH ★ HARMONY ★ EQUILIBRIUM ★ SERVICE TO HUMANITY

APHORISM 10 ABSENCE OF VITAL FORCE- DEATH ★ No Vital Energy ★ No sensation ★ No Function ★ No self preservation ★ Death ★ Decay ★ Vital Energy- All sensations and functions animates the material organisms in health and in disease.

APHORISM 11 MATERIA PECCANS DYNAMIC INFLUENCE ★ DISEASE IS DYNAMIC DERANGEMENT OF SPIRITUAL VITAL FORCE BY MORBIFIC AGENT INIMICAL TO LIFE - THE DYNAMIC INFLUENCE- THE DYNAMIS ★ PATIENT EXPERIENCES DISAGREEABLE SENSATIONS AND FUNCTIONS ★ Natural phenomenon of tides, gravitational force, moon phases, magnetic energy. ★ Not mechanical ★ DYNAMIC ★ Dynamic action of disease producing agents e.g. small pox ★ Dynamic action of medicines on provers and patients ★ Not the action of atoms ( is it so difficult to understand) ★ Action of Dynamic energy hidden in medicinal substance acts on life energy of patient ★ Old school considers the MATERIAL cause of disease, denies DYNAMIC cause of disease

APHORISM 12 CURE ★ Morbidly deranged vital force produces morbid phenomena ★ Its outcome of internal derangement of this internal dynamis ★ Morbid alterations that differ from healthy vital operations ★ CURE Restoration of the integrity of vital operations ★ Morbid phenomena- DISEASE ★ Expresses through perceptible signs and symptoms ★ Cure is removal of symptoms

APHORISM 13 MATERIA PECCANS ★ Old school considers Disease separate from vital force ★ They deny Disease is in the interior of organism ★ They deny The disease is subtle ★ They consider the disease is visible to the eyes ★ The disease is materialistic

APHORISM 14 CURABLE INDICATIONS ★ Curable indications of disease are the symptoms of the disease are the symptoms which physician perceived through senses

APHORISM 15 SYMPTOMS ARE THE MIRROR OF DISEASE ★ O rganism is material instrument of life. ★ It is animated by vital energy ★ Vital force is not cognizable by the organism ★ VITAL ENERGY AND BODY IS A UNIT

APHORISM 16 HEALTH ★ HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING OF VITAL FORCE ★ EQUILIBRIUM IS MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE FUNCTIONING OF VARIOUS ORGANS ★ HARMONY ★ PE R SO N A T E ASE

APHORISM 17 REMOVAL OF TOTALITY IS REMOVAL OF DISEASE ★ Physician has to remove symptoms ★ The internal disease is annihilated ★ Health is restored ★ True mission of physician

APHORISM 18 TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS IS THE SOLE GUIDE FOR THE SELECTION OF SIMILIMUM ★ Disease is discovered only by the totality of symptoms ★ The sum of symptoms in each case are the sole indications, the sole guide to direct us for the choice of similimum

★ Concept DYNAMISM, SPIRITUAL VITAL FORCE ★ HEALTH- HARMONY, EQUILIBRIUM, OF VITAL FORCE ★ DISEASE- SYMPTOMS EXPRESSED, OF INTERNAL MORBID DISORDER OF VITAL FORCE ★ CURE- REMOVAL OF SYMPTOMS is REMOVAL OF DISEASE ★ Which symptoms are curable?- symptoms perceived by physician through senses (patient’s mental symptoms and physical general symptoms not which are seen by eyes means visible organ pathology ) ★ Curative medicines are possessing dynamic energy due to potentization R E VISION

C OM P ARISON HOMOEOPATHY AND OLD SCHOOL OR MODERN MEDICINE ★ CONCEPT OF DYNAMIC SPIRITUAL ★ MATERIAL CONCEPT- MATERIA ★ VITAL FORCE HEALTH, DISEASE PHENOMENA OF ★ PECCANS HEALTH, DISEASE IS ORGAN ★ VITAL FORCE CAUSE OF DISEASE - DYNAMIC ★ FUNCTION AND PATHOLOGY CAUSE OF DISEASE- MATERIAL ★ MEDICINES- POSSESS DYNAMIC ★ MEDICINES - IN LARGE HAZARDOUS ★ ENERGY AROUSED BY POTENTIZATION LAW OF SIMILARS ★ DOSES NO LAWS, EMPTY SPECULATION

APHORISM 19 S T A TE OF DIS E A SE restoration to S T A TE OF H E A L TH ★ Disease is nothing more than alterations in the state of health of the individual ★ Medicines have power to alter man’s state of health ★ They produce symptoms ★ Hence they cure the diseases ★ (The disease curing power is the disease producing power)

APHORISM 20 CURATIVE POWER OF MEDICINES - observations ★ The spirit like power of medicines to alter man’s state of health ★ It lies hidden in the inner nature of medicines ★ It is discovered not by reason but by experiencing the phenomena ★ Its action on healthy organisms (Drug Proving)

APHORISM 21 THE CURATIVE PRINCIPLE IN MEDICINE MEDICINE REMEDY ★ Medicines possess power to alter state of man ★ When they cure the morbid symptoms of disease in patient called as Remedy ★ The curative property of medicines is brought into play only by the production of peculiar symptoms also can be called as morbid symptoms in healthy person is due to this indwelling power.

★ Heterogenous type of medicines ★ Not based on Similar law ★ Not based on Opposite law APHORISM 22 ALLOPATHY

★ Symptoms of disease are removed by production of opposite symptoms of medicines ★ ANTIPATHY ENANTIOPATHY ---- PALLIATIVE ★ But symptoms are not removed ★ They return again ★ With increased intensity APHORISM 23 ANTIPATHY

★ MEDICINES WHICH ARE SIMILAR ★ Selected on totality of symptoms ★ Pathogenetic effects are known ★ Tested on healthy individuals ★ Medicines produce artificial morbid state similar to natural disease ★ LAW OF SIMILARS APHORISM 24 HOMOEOPATHY

APHORISM 25 MODUS OPERANDI OF CURE: HOMOEOPATHY - THE HEALING ART ★ Experience after trials; The Healing Art is achieved by medicines acting curative ★ When the medicine has produced similar symptoms in healthy (prover) like those observed in patient ★ Rapidly remove the symptoms ★ If given in proper dose and repetition ★ Old school physician gives complex prescription ★ Imagined cause of disease is in organ pathology, tried to cure ★ They couldn't understand the disease, the results and unknown cause ★ E.g. kaleidoscope

REVISION ANTI P A THY AL L O P A THY HOMO E O P A THY ★ Curable in disease- General symptoms of mind and body very near to man ★ Curative in medicine- The latent curative powers are hidden in the drug ★ Drug- alters the state of health ★ Medicine- have hidden dynamic powers, produces symptoms in provers ★ Remedy- similimum which cures after matching of symptoms in provers with patient

★ A weaker dynamic affection is permanently extinguished in the living organism by a stronger one if the latter is very similar to the former in its manifestation but differing in kind ★ Physical aspect e.g. Candle and sunlight ★ Moral aspect e.g. Crying of soldiers not heard in beating of drums ★ Disease aspect e.g. Ophthalmia removed by small pox, orchitis removed by mumps APHORISM 26 NATURE’S LAW- stronger removes the weaker

APHORISM 27 MODUS OPERANDI OF CURE ★ Curative power of medicines depends upon ★ Symptoms similar to disease and ★ Superior in strength than the natural disease ★ Each individual case of disease is permanently annihilated by such medicine

APHORISM 28 MODUS OPERANDI OF CURE ★ Homoeopathy works as its a natural law of cure ★ How it works, matters a little ★ Its based on pure experience, derived by-- ★ Observations made after experimentation

APHORISM 29 MODUS OPERANDI OF CURE ★ Disease is morbid, dynamical alteration of our vital energy ★ Cure: Principle of life is dynamically altered by natural disease ★ Seized through the action of medicine- Similar and Stronger ★ Produces the artificial disease ★ Feeling of natural disease ceases ★ Artificial disease produced by medicine has limited span of time ★ It soon disappears leaving the organism free from disease ★ The dynamis is disease free now, ready to carry its functions again

APHORISM 30 MEDICINES ARE SUPERIOR TO NATURAL DISEASE CURING AGENTS ★ Importance of REGULATION OF DOSE OF MEDICINES in the hands of physician ★ During Drug proving on healthy provers ★ If during proving pathology develops, further administration of drug is stopped- dose is in the hands of physician ★ While treating the patient of Natural disease, stronger similar disease is produced by similimum which soon disappears as the dose is small

★ Natural disease producing agents ACT CONDITIONALLY ★ E.g. small pox cures ophthalmia - its not in our hands to suffer from small pox to remove ophthalmia ★ Don’t affect all persons AND ★ NEVER At all times ★ Due to underlined SUSCEPTIBILITY- CONDITION APHORISM 31 MEDICINES ARE SUPERIOR TO NATURAL DISEASE CURING AGENTS SUSCEPTIBILITY

★ Action of MEDICINES ★ ACT UNCONDITIONALLY ★ ALL CIRCUMSTANCES ★ ALL TIMES ★ ALL LIVING BEINGS ★ PRODUCES SYMPTOMS ON LIVING BEINGS APHORISM 32 MEDICINES ARE SUPERIOR TO NATURAL DISEASE CURING AGENTS

APHORISM 33 MEDICINES ARE SUPERIOR TO NATURAL DISEASE CURING AGENTS ★ Morbific noxious agents and infectious agents possess a power of morbidy deranging man’s health CONDITIONALLY ★ Medicinal agents derange man’s health UNCONDITIONALLY ★ MEDICINES ARE SUPERIOR TO NATURAL DISEASES ★ Foot Note 17- Scarlet Fever cured by Belladona ★ Also prevented it in healthy children who took Belladona

APHORISM 34 SIMILIMUM CURES DUE TO SIMILARITY AND SUPERIORITY IN STRENGTH ★ Medicine should be superior to natural disease ★ And similar to the natural disease ★ Vital force has no reflection or act of memory ★ Stronger similar natural disease can cure weaker natural disease ★ Stronger dissimilar natural disease can never cure weaker disease

★ TWO DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURES ★ ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE NEVER CURES ★ UNHOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES NEVER CURES APHORISM 35 DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURES IN NATURE

★ Its based on Nature’s law- e.g. of natural cures ★ Similar medicines are superior than natural disease curing agents and they act unconditionally while natural disease curing agents act conditionally ★ Similimum cures as it produces stronger, similar artificial disease and its dose is regulated ★ TWO DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURES ★ ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE NEVER CURES R E VISION HOMOEOPATHY

APHORISM 36 DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURED IN NATURE ★ 1st CONDITION ★ If the older disease is stronger then new disease will not affect the patient ★ E. G.Severe chronic disease will not suffer from dysentery ★ E.G. Scurvy is present won’t get affected by plague ★ E.G. If patient has T.B. will not be affected by the epidemic

APHORISM 37 ★ Old chronic disease if treated by allopathic medicines ★ Disease is more difficult to cure ★ Cure never happens

APHORISM 38 DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURED IN NATURE ★ 2nd CONDITION ★ Old disease is weak and if affected by new stronger disease ★ Old disease is suspended, new disease will run its course ★ After it has finished its course, old disease comes back ★ E.G. Epilepsy was suspended for few days when infected with ring worm when eruption had gone, epilepsy returned. ★ E.G. Itch disappeared after scurvy appeared and when scurvy cured itch appeared ★ E. G. mania-- consumption- mania

APHORISM 39 Nature never cures dissimilar diseases ★ Dissimilar drugs never cure ★ Suppress or suspend the malady for short time ★ Add new morbid state to old one if used for a long time

APHORISM 40 DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURED IN NATURE ★ 3rd CONDITION ★ Old disease is dissimilar and new has acted after a long time joins hand together ★ Two dissimilar diseases if chronic in nature:- E.G. psoric eruption joins syphilitic patient, They occupy the parts of the organism which they are more adapted ★ They can not be removed, can not cure one another Patient is more diseased ★ Two dissimilar diseases if acute in nature E. G. measles and small pox ★ Together they form COMPLEX DISEASE

APHORISM 41 COMPLEX DISEASE ★ Natural diseases complicate each other ★ More complications by treatment with current unsuitable treatment then ★ Mercury if given in large doses causes swelling and ulceration of bones ★ Actually in small doses can cure venereal disease

APHORISM 42 COMPLEX DISEASE ★ In nature there can be 2 or 3 natural diseases ★ They do not remove nor annihilate and cannot cure ★ They occupy parts peculiarly appropriate to it

APHORISM 43 WHEN TWO SIMILAR DISEASE MEET IN NATURE ★ When new disease is stronger to the already existing ★ Natural Cures takes place

APHORISM 44 WHEN TWO SIMILAR DISEASE MEET IN NATURE ★ Two similar disease neither repel ★ Nor suspend ★ AS LITTLE ( very rare, almost never) ★ Two similar disease don’t exist beside one another ★ Don’t form a Double Complex disease ★ {stronger similar disease will remove/ cure weaker similar disease}

APHORISM 45 WHEN TWO SIMILAR DISEASE MEET IN NATURE ★ When two similar diseases meet the stronger disease annihilates weaker ★ Stronger power invades the system by reason of its similarity of action involves same part of the organism affected by weaker disease ★ This weaker disease no longer acts on these parts ★ Vital force affected by similar and stronger dynamic power which controls feelings of patient ★ Now life principle no longer feel the weaker similar disease ★ Life principle affected only by new stronger similimum

APHORISM 46 WHEN TWO SIMILAR DISEASE MEET IN NATURE E. G. NATURAL CURES ★ Ophtalmia cured by small pox ★ Deafness, dyspnoea cured by small pox ★ Cow pox cured by small pox ★ Herpes removed by measles ★ STRONGER SIMILAR DISEASE REMOVES WEAKER SIMILAR DISEASE

★ Dr. Hahnemann with his keen observations of natural diseases------ ★ When two dissimilar disease meet in nature---36,38,40 ★ When two similar disease meet in nature---43 ★ A phenomenon in nature is evident ★ Stronger similar disease is replaced by artificial stronger similar disease produced by remedy whose dose is regulated, its not dangerous and disappears soon as dose is regulated ★ Homoeopathy is a natural science ★ CURE ONLY TAKES PLACE IN HOMOEOPATHY --- NATURAL CURES R E VISION

APHORISM 47 OBSERVATION WITH SIMILIMUM ★ These examples teach physician what kind of artificial morbific agent (medicine) is required to cure ★ When he sees the natural cures ★ Of course the SIMILIMUM

APHORISM 48 CURE POSSIBLE ONLY BY SIMILIMUM ★ Dissimilar morbific agent never cures even when strong ★ Similar medicinal agent to the symptoms of disease ★ Stronger in nature ★ CURES

APHORISM 49 CURE POSSIBLE ONLY BY SIMILIMUM ★ More examples of natural cures might have been observed ★ Nature is deficient of diseases to bring such cures

APHORISM 50 CURE POSSIBLE IN NATURE BY SIMILAR DISEASE ★ They are hazardous cures ★ Incomplete cures ★ The more stronger disease which removed weaker disease remains in patient ★ How new stronger similar disease will be removed? ★ By another still stronger? ★ How one can wait for the new still stronger and similar disease to remove the present disease?

APHORISM 51 HAPPY-GO- LUCKY OPERATIONS ★ Law of Similars can thus be easily understood from these examples in nature ★ Natural Cures are not sure, they are accidental, not in all cases ★ Where as we have at our disposal so many Homoeopathic medicines which are known to produce similar morbific affections ★ The dose is in our hands so that the artificial disease produced by Homoeopathic medicines is slightly higher than the natural disease and it disappears after its action is over ★ It’s a gentle cure ★ No violent attack on the organism

APHORISM 52 2 Methods of Treatment- HOMOEOPATHY, ALLOPATHY Criminal Treason against Divine Homoeopathy ★ HOMOEOPATHY- BASED ON OBSERVATION OF NATURE ★ - CAREFUL EXPERIMENTATION ★ ALLOPATHY / HETEROPATHY - Sometimes practice Homoeopathy and ★ - Sometimes practice allopathy ★ According to pleasure of patient

APHORISM 53 TRUE CURE - HOMOEOPATHY (not in Antipathy, Isopathy) ★ True, Mild, Permanent Cure is in HOMOEOPATHY ★ Based on Eternal Laws of NATURE ★ True Homoeopathic Healing Art ★ Based on eternal laws of Nature ★ Straight line between two given points

REVISION TRUE CURE - HOMOEOPATHY- LAW OF NATURE ★ Two dissimilar diseases never cure ★ Two similar diseases meet, cure ★ They exist with each other takes place ★ There are never cures observed ★ Stronger natural disease removes ★ They never cure each other weaker ★ Antipathy never cures ★ But this is not option to cure ★ Stronger disease remains, dangerous ★ Its not in our hands to suffer ★ Natural cures are accidental as ★ Diseases act conditionally ★ Medicines act unconditionally

APHORISM 54 ALLOPATHY ★ Allopathy method of treatment utilized many things against diseases. ★ Different methods at different times ★ Claimed themselves Rational Medicine ★ They falsely thought they touched the inner nature of life of Healthy and Sick ★ So treatment given to remove the noxious matter from patient e.g. cathartics, emetics diuretics given ★ Classified diseases according to names ★ Medicines were imagined to cure the abnormal conditions

APHORISM 55 (1) ALLOPATHY ★ People learnt that patient’s sufferings increased ★ Empirical medicines gave palliative relief ★ So allopathic medicines were supported by patients

APHORISM 56 (2) ANTIPATHY / ENANTIOPATHY (3) ISOPATHY ★ Teachings of Gallen ★ Law of Contraria ★ This Antipathy mode of Treatment adapted by Allopaths ★ Isopathy was thought to give relief ★ Law of Equalia ★ T eaching s o f W . Lux ★ It also didn’t cure but caused trouble and aggravation

APHORISM 57 ANTIPATHY ★ A Medicine produces exact opposite to the morbid symptoms ★ Based on law of contraria ★ Advantage- speedy recovery ★ E.G. - Large doses of opium to relieve pain as it benumbs the sensibilty; also for diarrhoea as it produces constipation; burnt hand put in cold water; chilly patient takes hot water bath ★ Opposite medicine is given which is relieved patient ★ Primary action of drug

APHORISM 58 ANTIPATHY ★ Faulty symptomatic treatment ★ Few symptoms are only treated ★ Feels better for short time ★ Followed by aggravation

APHORISM 59 ANTIPATHY PRIMARY ACTION and SECONDARY ACTION OLD SCHOOL believes on false theories- Palliation ★ Primary action : patient is better due to opposite action of medicine ★ Secondary action : the previous symptoms of sufferings are increased ★ Relapse ★ E.G. sleepiness is better with coffee but after its action is over ★ E. G. opium given to patient of diarrhoea ( primary action )constipation, followed by severe diarrhoea (secondary action) ★ E. G. purgatives given to treat constipation

APHORISM 60 STRONG DOSES IN ANTIPATHY ★ With each increasing symptoms physician gives more stronger dose ★ Disease is not cured but increases ★ Palliation ★ Brousseau stopped giving mixtures of drugs ★ Applied leeches to suck the faulty blood which was thought to cause diseases ★ Patient more weaker, debilitated, exhausted

APHORISM 61 ANTIPATHY NEVER CURES ★ Physicians did not see the sad results of Antipathic treatment ★ TRUE RADICAL HEALING ART MUST BE FOUND IN THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF SUCH AN ANTIPATHIC TREATMENT OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE ★ Transient relief ★ Aggravation is followed ★ Permanent cure only with similimum if physician used it or accidently used it ★ Natural Cures

R E VISION NATURAL CURE = HOMOEOPATHY ★ Stronger similar disease cures weaker disease ★ Stronger disease is fatal ★ It’s not in our hands to invite stronger disease to remove weaker ★ They act conditionally ★ Natural diseases is not option to cure ★ Homoeopathy is natural science ★ Artificial similar disease produced ★ It is based on law, the only method to cure ★ Dissimilar disease never cures ★ They form complex disease ★ It’s not in nature that, dissimilar disease ★ ANTIPATHY NEVER CURE ★ Allopathy never cures ★ Large doses, mixtues, hazardous ★ Secondary reactions severe complaint ★ No law

APHORISM 62 HOMOEOPATHY ALONE CURES ★ Dr. Hahnemann was the FIRST to perceive this fact ★ Through Manifold Observations ★ Homoeopathy cures not like palliation by Antipathy ★ So the importance of This Healing art must be understood

APHORISM 63 PRIMARY ACTION SECONDARY ACTION ★ Every medicine deranges vital force- PRIMARY ACTION ★ Vital force reacts to this action- SECONDARY ACTION

APHORISM 64 PRIMARY ACTION S E C ON D A R Y A C TION ★ During Primary action - Vital force is passive, receptive to action of medicine on it ★ During Secondary action - Vital force shows two actions ★ Secondary counter action- exact opposite condition of health is produced (ANTIPATHY) ★ Secondary curative action- similar superior power is generated to extinguish the disease ( HOMOEOPATHY)

APHORISM 65 PRIMARY ACTION (examples) SECONDARY ACTION (COUNTER) ★ A Hand first bathed in hot water is first warmer (primary action) ★ Then it becomes more colder (secondary action) ★ A Hand first bathed in cold water is first pale ( primary action) ★ Then it becomes more warmer ( secondary action) ★ Sleeplessness in patient, after opium sleeps a lot ( primary action) ★ Following night he is more sleepless ( secondary action) ★ Secondary action is more antagonistic or counter

APHORISM 66 CURATIVE SECONDARY ACTION ★ Antagonistic secondary action NOT seen in HOMOEOPATHY ★ SMALL DOSE ★ SIMILIMUM ★ Small reaction is generated similar to the sufferings ★ Restoration of Health

APHORISM 67 SUSPENDED ANIMATION ★ Antipathy is advised by Dr. Hahnemann in most urgent cases ★ Patients with Accidents, Asphyxia, Drowning, Electric shock ★ Vital force is in danger to be lost ★ Homoeopathic medicines have no time to act ★ Symptoms may disappear ★ So Antipathy is required to save the patient ★ Coffee, application of heat, antidotes,

APHORISM 68 HOMOEOPATHIC CURE ★ Due to minute doses ★ Due to similimum ★ Stronger a little ★ Natural disease is removed ★ Medicinal disease remains soon disappears due to small dose ★ Vital force has no need to react against this medicinal disease now present ★ Health is restored ★ Previous morbid state is extinguished

APHORISM 69 ANTIPATHY ★ In antipathy physician administers the medicine which produces opposite effects to the disease ★ So for some time the sufferings are not felt by vital force, patient feels better ★ Antagonistic / opposite symptom does not occupy the symptoms of the disease ★ Similimum occupies the symptoms of the disease so vital force no longer feels the previous morbid symptoms but only the symptoms of similimum ★ Antipathy palliates, symptoms return in more intensity after the action of dose is over

APHORISM 70 INFERENCE ★ LIFE PRINCIPLE maintains Health ★ Disease is derangement of LIFE PRINCIPLE ★ Disease represented by symptoms ★ Symptoms are curable in disease ★ ★ ★ ★ DISEASE HEALTH CURE possible only by SIMILIMUM Power to produce same symptoms on healthy individual Cure brought by LIFE PRINCIPLE

REVISION 1-70 APHORISMS ★ MISSION ★ When two dissimilar disease meet in ★ IDEAL CURE nature , they never cure ★ KNOWLEDGES OF PHYSICIAN ★ Stronger Similar Disease removes ★ PRESERVER OF HEALTH weaker disease in nature ★ CAUSES OF DISEASE ★ ANTIPATHY never cures ★ TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS ★ HOMOEOPATHY alone cures ★ VITAL FORCE ★ PRIMARY, SECONDARY ACTION ★ SECONDARY CURATIVE ACTION

T O A CC OMPLISH MISSION OF PH Y SICIAN OPERATION OF CURING ★ No doubt that the diseases of mankind consist merely of group of symptoms and may be annihilated ★ Disease known by symptoms - CASE TAKING ★ Transformed into health BY medicinal substances are capable of artificially producing similar morbid symptoms- KNOWN THROUGH DRUG PROVING ★ Judicious employment of medicines for cure of natural disease

APHORISM 71 MINIATURE OF ORGANON-case taking, drug proving, judicious employment of medicines ★ 1. How is the physician to ascertain what is necessary to be known in order to cure the disease- CASE TAKING ★ 2. How is he to gain a knowledge of the instruments adapted for the cure of the natural disease , the pathogenetic powers of the medicines- DRUG PROVING ★ 3. What is the most suitable method of employing these artificial morbific agents (medicines) for the cure of natural disease- SECOND PRESCRIPTION, POSOLOGY

APHORISM 72 CLINICAL - DISEASE CLASSIFICATION ★ Classification of disease is not Nosological but Clinical ★ 1. Disease is rapid morbid processes of the abnormally deranged vital force, which have a tendency to finish their course more or less quickly but always in moderate time - these are termed as Acute Disease caused by exciting causes ★ 2. Small imperceptible beginnings , dynamically derange the living organism, vital force opposes to them at the commencement and during their progress there is in-sufficient resistance and unable to extinguish them and gets abnormally deranged again and again. These are termed as Chronic diseases caused by miasms

APHORISM 74 CHRONIC DISEASES - 1. ARTIFICIAL CHRONIC DISEASES ★ ALLOPATHIC TREATMENT of violent allopathic type- calomel, mercurial compound, silver nitrate,iodine, opium, sulphur ★ Vital energy is weakened ★ To maintain life against these destructive attacks it produces ★ Dilatation, Contraction, Relaxation or induration or destruction of certain parts ★ E.g. Brousseauic treatment of venesection, hunger diet- debilitating treatment ★ Cures only by similar medicine ( accidentally )homoeopathic to case ★ Dr. Hahnemann says its murderous malpractice, irrational, cruel, no ground, absurd

APHORISM 73 ACUTE DISEASES-Cause: Exciting, TYPES- Individual, Sporadic, Epidemic ★ Causes of Acute Diseases : Acute diseases are transient explosion of latent psora, return to its normal state if acute disease is not of too violent character and soon subside ★ Individual: Few persons due to excess in food, heat or chill impression, chilly weather or hot weather, Mental emotions, exciting cause of acute febrile ( fever) conditions. ★ Sporadic: several persons, same time, same cause (meteoric, telluric), different places ★ Epidemic: many people are attacked with similar sufferings, highly infectious (war,famine) ★ Acute miasms : Recurring (e.g. typhoid) and Non recurring (small pox) ★ E.G. Homoeopath treats not by the name of disease but by its peculiar symptoms ★ Ref. 1801- Purpura Miliaris- Aconite; Scarlet Fever - Belladona

★ ACUTE DISEASES ★ CHRONIC DISEASES ★ Types of Acute diseases ★ Individual diseases- Single persons, Different causes(exciting- weather, emotions), Different place, Different time R E VISION 3 POINTS OF BUSINESS OF PHYSICIAN- Case taking, Drug proving, Judicious Employment of Medicines ★ Sporadic diseases- Several persons, Same cause( atmospheric- heat stroke in summer in Jalgaon and Chandrapur) , Different places, Same time ★ Epidemic diseases: Lot of people, Same cause ( cholera, influenza), Same place, Same time

APHORISM 75 CHRONIC DISEASES: 1. ARTIFICIAL CHRONIC DISEASES ★ Allopathic non healing art ★ Changes in health are incurable ★ No Cures ★ Side effects of such drugs

APHORISM 76 HOMOEOPATHY ALONE CURES ★ God- beneficent deity has granted us HOMOEOPATHY means of cure ★ Vital force is weakened by the mischievous acts of allopathic drugging ★ Does not cure ★ If the patient succumbs its due to this pseudo art but he tells to relatives patient died of incurable diseases

APHORISM 77 CHRONIC DISEASES: 2. PSEUDO CHRONIC DISEASES ★ Inappropriately named chronic diseases ★ Indulging into Avoidable noxious influences- alcohol, habits ★ Prolonged abstinence from things necessary to life residing in unhealthy localities like marshy districts, housed in cellars, no open air, constant state of worry

APHORISM 78 CHRONIC DISEASES: 3. TRUE NATURAL CHRONIC DISEASES ★ True natural chronic diseases are caused by Miasms - Dynamic causes if unchecked ★ Go on increasing and growing not withstanding to best mental and corporeal regimen, torment the patient to the end of his life with ever aggravated sufferings ★ Numerous ★ Greatest scourges on human race ★ For the most robust constitution, the best regulated mode of living and most vigorous energy of vital force are insufficient for their eradication ★ Adverse events in life diseases are renewed which were relieved in past

REVISION TYPES OF CHRONIC DISEASES ★ 1. Artificial Chronic Diseases:- Allopathic medicines are given ★ 2. Pseudo Chronic Diseases: - ★ a] Indulgence in substances harmful to life ★ b] Abstinence from substances necessary to life

APHORISM 79 CHRONIC DISEASES: - SYPHILIS, SYCOSIS ★ Dr Hahnemann says, Syphilis is alone is a chronic disease ★ Sycosis (condylomatous disease) ★ Both are ineradicable by vital force ★ Physicians didn’t recognize it as a chronic miasmatic diseases, Which they are ★ These chronic diseases had some skin growths which were removed by physicians ★ They claimed they cured the diseases ★ Ignored the disease developed in other systems

APHORISM 80 CH R ONIC MI A SM : PSO R A ★ Syphilis - externally shows chancre- represents internal dyscrasia ★ Sycosis- externally shows cauliflower like growths- represents internal dyscrasia ★ Psora- externally shows cutaneous eruption- vesicles, ITCHING, ODOUR- monstrous internal chronic miasm, Fundamental cause ★ Produces numerous forms of diseases by various names- rachitis, mania,epilepsy, cancer, gout, haemorrhoids, jaundice , asthma, calculus ★ ( Primary psora-Itch, Secondary psora -diseases affecting various systems)

MI A SM- PSO R A ★ Dr. Hahnemann spent 12 years in discovering the CAUSE OF CHRONIC DISEASES ★ Source of these large no.of chronic affections ★ Discovering antipsoric remedies ★ Observations published in the book Chronic Diseases 4 volumes- 4th edition 1829 ★ Successfully treated these maladies but they recurred ★ Increased intensity ★ Antipsoric remedies gave effective cure

APHORISM 81 MIASM- PSORA ★ This infecting agent is ancient , Passed hundreds of generations Various morbid forms ★ What’s the cause of chronic diseases- Secondary psora ★ Numerous diseases present in variety of mankind with different names ★ Transformation of psora to chronic diseases depends upon climate, improper physical and mental training in youth, faulty diet, habits, customs of various kinds ★ Even a new epidemic comes give different names and treat as if they knew about it ★ Sydenham opposed this ★ Dr. Hahnemann- names of disease should not influence physician in treatment ★ Names of diseases required in reference of patient

APHORISM 82 CHRONIC DISEASES, ACUTE DISEASES (difﬁculties in) case taking ★ Discovery of Chronic diseases and their various forms ★ Discovery of Homoeopathic remedies- Anti Psoric remedies ★ Study of Medicine is also done gives us knowledge of diseases ★ In acute diseases- the chief symptoms strike us and become evident to the senses more quickly, less time is required for tracing the picture of disease ★ In chronic diseases- it is progressing gradually, symptoms are difficult to be ascertained

★ Dr. Hahnemann was disappointed as diseases recurred again and again ★ In spite of treating diseases successfully with homoeopathic medicines ★ He wanted to solve the mystery why the diseases recurred ★ He worked for 12 years and thoroughly took case takings generations back ★ E.G. Diseases like Asthma, Migraine, Epilepsy recurred in spite treated with Homoeopathy ★ So his logical mind started thinking step by step to find out the cause of recurrence ★ So he discussed it in 5 points to search the cause of recurrence REVISION-1 MIASMS- Dynamic disease producing agents

REVISION-2 MIASMS- Dynamic disease producing agents ★ The most important aspect he noticed was that patient had history of eruptions in past which were removed by ointments ★ The eruptions in PSORA or chancre in SYPHILIS, condylomatous growth in SYCOSIS ★ They are seen externally ★ They can not come externally without internal disturbance ★ Internal disturbance channelized externally on skin ★ Removing the skin eruptions caused closing the channel ★ So disease which was superficial on skin was driven more deeper affecting vital organs

REVISION-3 MIASMS- Dynamic disease producing agents ★ It was usual practice of physicians to remove what is visible to the eyes ★ They were ignorant what they have done ★ They didn’t understand the significance of what they have done ★ Nature saved vital organs by keeping the disease on skin, superficially ★ The cause of internal disturbance was disturbance of vital energy ★ This expressed outside on the surface on skin ★ But by removing skin eruptions the internal dyscrasia was not at all cured ★ By closing the channel through which internal dyscrasia expressed itself had to find now new channel - at the site of various systems- diseases like asthma, epilepsy

REVISION-4 MIASMS- Dynamic disease producing agents ★ He gave the name Psora as the fundamental cause of diseases of non- venereal origin ★ He proved antipsoric remedies which covered vast variety of diseases ★ Treatment is internal medication ★ So MIASMS are the cause of chronic diseases

APHORISM 256 FOLLOW UP CRITERIAS EVALUATION ★ If patient mentions the incidence of fresh symptoms ★ Means new symptoms arise ★ If patient is good natured then he won’t tell ★ But e.g. in Phthisis patient ( T. B. ) lung abscess is common ★ Physician should not believe patient’s assurance that he feels better when new symptoms arise ★ Consider the state is aggravated ★ Don’t believe on patient

APHORISM 257 FAVOURITE REMEDY- SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE ★ True physician will avoid favourite remedies prescription ★ By chance some remedies were useful, more often prescribed ★ Physician May not consider the remedies which were homoeopathically suitable ★ So more effective ★ So physician may neglect such important remedies ★ May miss their prescription

APHORISM 258 ALL REMEDIES ARE GOOD IF SIMILARITY IS MATCHED ★ If you avoid some remedies because you have bad results with them ★ But it's the fault of physician ★ All remedies are useful when the similarity is matched with the totality ★ No paltry prejudices should interfere with this choice

APHORISM 259 DIET AND REGIMEN - IN CHRONIC DISEASE ★ The doses are so small of homoeopathic medicines anything which has medicinal action must be removed from the diet and regimen ★ These substances which have some medicinal value interferes with the action of the medicine ★ So avoid strong medicinal substances ★ Which can extinguish the small homoeopathic medicine.

APHORISM 264- PHARM A C Y SOURCE MUST BE GENUINE PURE MEDICINE ★ The true physician must be provided with genuine source ★ Having its inherent power ★ Physician should judge, confirm the purity and genuineness of medicine

APHORISM 265- PHARM A C Y RIGHT MEDICINE ★ PHYSICIAN MUST HIMSELF PREPARE THE MEDICINE ★ Physician should confirm that patient takes right medicine ★ Right medicine means PURE, GENUINE, SIMILIMUM ★ Preferably physician himself prepares the medicine ★ And dispenses to patient

APHORISM 266- PHARM A C Y ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE REMEDIES ARE BEST IN RAW STATE ★ Substances belonging to animal and vegetable kingdoms possess their medicinal properties in raw state ★ F. N. All crude animal and vegetable substances have medicinal power ★ They alter man’s state of health in their own peculiar way ★ Many plants and animals are used as food due to their nutritious property. ★ They may have less medicinal properties or its destroyed while cooking / culinary way ★ Extraction, Fermentation, addition of vinegar for pickle, smoking, boiling, stewing, toasing, baking-- All such processes destroy medicinal properties ★ Addition of salts, vinegar also destroys the medicinal properties

APHORISM 266 F . N . - PHARM A C Y ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE REME DIES ARE BEST IN RAW STATE ★ Those plants which possess medicinal property ★ These properties are lost during such processes ★ By Desiccation all the roots of various iris , of the horse radish or arum and the peonies lose almost all their medicinal virtue ★ The juice of virulent plants becomes inert, pitch like mass due to the heat employed in preparation of extracts ★ By merely keeping for long time, the expressed juice of the deadly plant becomes powerless, even at atmospheric temperature it rapidly takes on vinous(resembling red wine in colour) fermentation losing all medicinal power. ★ When number of green plants are laid one above other they lose their medicinal property

APHORISM 267- PHARM A C Y PREPARATION OF EXTRACTS- indigenous plants ★ Powers of indigenous plants in the fresh state ★ Mixing their freshly expressed juice with equal parts of spirit ★ Keep in closed stoppered bottle for a day and night ★ Fibrinous and albuminous matter is deposited ★ Superincumbent (lying on something) liquid is decanted( gradually pour from one container to other) off for medicinal use ★ Due to wine it is not fermented ★ Kept in well corked bottles, away from sunlight

APHORISM 267-F. N. PHARMACY PREPARATION OF EXTRACTS- indigenous plants ★ F. N. 1- Buchhloz said we have to thank Russia in (1812) for Mode of operating medicines in 1812 ★ It is unjust practice of Germans not to give credit to countrymen (Dr. Hahnemann) ★ The directions given are just the words of Dr, Hahnemann from 1st edition of Organon of Medicine (1810) ★ Alcohol was used for mixing with vegetables ★ But it was never used to administer medicines with it

APHORISM 267-F. N. PHARMACY PREPARATION OF EXTRACTS- indigenous plants ★ F.N. 2 Generally equal parts of alcohol and freshly expressed juice ★ But for plants with Thick mucus e.g. symphytum, viola ★ Excess of albumen e.g. aethusa, solanum ★ Double alcohol is needed ★ Plants which are deficient in juice ★ Oleander, ledum

APHORISM 268- PHARMACY GENUINE MEDICINE ★ The exotic plants, barks, seeds, roots which are not obtained in fresh state ★ The sensible physician will not take in Pulverised form ★ He will first convince himself in genuineness in the crude form ★ F.N. These are preserved as powder ★ Druggist neglect the even of well dried animal or vegetable could not be preserved uninjured even in well- corked bottles ★ It may contain some moisture, can’t be preserved in cork bottles ★ This is best prevented by water bath ★ Spreading the moist powder in a flat tin saucer with a raised edge, stirring it and drying so that small atoms are like fine sand powder (not forming lumps)-preserved in dry well corked bottle, preserving the powers of medicine ★ Preserve in air tight - vessel, away from sun and daylight

APHORISM 269 POTENTIZATION ★ In homoeopathic system of medicine a method very special is designed, uptill now never ever designed ★ Inner homoeopathic powers of the crude substance becomes ★ Penetrating and effective and remedial ★ Even though in the crude form there is no trace of the medicinal property. ★ F.N. 1. Long before Dr. Hahnemann friction, several changes were done in natural substances by warmth, heat, fire, magnetization of steel

APHORISM 269 F . N. POTENTIZATION ★ Friction brought physical changes or material changes in the substances ★ If physiological or pathological changes to happen in bodys it is the law of nature that forces capable of changing the crude material of drug even they never have shown the medicinal properties till now ★ This is brought by TRITURATION and SUCCUSSION ★ This wonderful law of physical, physiological, pathological was not discovered before Dr. Hahnemann ★ Current physicians and students may not believe the powers present in the medicine in minute doses prepared by dynamization method of potentization

APHORISM 269 F . N. POTENTIZATION ★ F. N. 2 Magnetic energy is invisible but not seen in the interior of magnet ★ It magnetizes steel and iron but again magnetism not seen in their interior ★ The iron bar gets magnetized / dynamised after rubbing with magnet ★ It attracts the steel bar and imparts the magnetic property to steel bar in contact or away from it ★ In the same way a TRITURATING a MEDICINAL SUBSTANCE and SHAKING A SOLUTION ★ DYNAMIZATION/ POTENTIZATION --- Develop the medicinal powers which were hidden within ★ Spiritualizes the material substance itself

APHORISM 269 F . N. POTENTIZATION ★ F. N. 3 - This stronger development of power within the medicinal substance ★ They are capable of producing changes in the state of health of man ★ If these natural substances in the improved state are brought ★ Very near to living sensitive Nerve fiber or brought in contact with it- olfaction ★ E.G. Magnetic bar shows the power in steel needle whose pole is near ★ The steel remains unchanged in physical and chemical properties ★ CAN NOT BRING Change in brass but only in iron ★ Dynamised medicines as little have any action on lifeless, material body,

APHORISM 269 F . N. POTENTIZATION ★ F. N. 4 We hear that medicinal potencies are called mere dilutions ★ But they are actually opposites ★ True opening of natural substances ★ Bringing into light hidden medicinal power present within ★ Brought up by rubbing and shaking ★ The unmedicinal substance is the medium for attenuation ★ Simple dilution, solution of a grain of a salt in water, the grain of a salt will disappear in the solution of water ★ It will never develop the medicinal salt as it has not undergone the dynamization so not generated the marvellous medicinal power

APHORISM 270 LM POTENCY ★ In order to develop this power in material substance ★ One grain is triturated for 3 hours for 3 times 100 grains of sugar of milk= 3C (1/10 6) ★ One grain of this powder is dissolved in 500 drops of mixture of 1 part of alcohol, 4 parts of distilled water= 1/500 * 1/10 6 = 1/5*10 8 = Mother potency ★ To this added 100 drops of pure alcohol- give 100 succussions- on elastic pad ★ This is first dynamization =1/5*10 8 * 1/100 = 1/5*10 10 small sugar globules are moistened ★ Then quickly spread on blotting paper to dry and kept in well corked bottle.- 1st pot ★ Only 1 globule is taken for further dynamization ★ Put in 2nd vial with a drop of water and give 100 succussions second potency ★ With this alcohol, globules are moistened, spread on blotting paper, dried quickly ★ This is done till 29th potency and 30th potency is prepared

APHORISM 270 LM POTENCY- Preparation ★ This method forcibly influences the suffering parts of the sick man ★ Similar morbid affection removes the natural morbid process which influences the life principle ★ By this mechanical process change is effected on the material, unmedicinal crude drugs ★ By this higher and higher dynamizations the drug is sublized (very delicate, fine) spirit like ★ This power is not felt by senses (its energy) (power) ★ This dry globule or if dissolved in water, becomes the carrier of this power ★ This is the HEALING POWER which manifests on the body ★ F.N.1 Preparation of LM POTENCY ★ Preparation of 3C potency

APHORISM 270 F .N. LM POTENCY- Preparation ★ F . N . 2 Vial used for is filled with 2/3rd full ★ F . N . 3 Take leather bound book ★ F . N . 4 Globules are prepared by confectioner with starch and sugar ★ Fine globules are sieved to remove the dust ★ They are passed through strainer so that 100 globules form 1 grain ★ F. N. 5 A small cylindrical thimble (plastic or metal cap) glass, porcelain or silver ★ Globules are kept to be medicated; They are moistened with the dynamised medicinal alcohol ★ Stirred and poured on blotting paper to dry them quickly

APHORISM 270 F .N. LM POTENCY- Preparation ★ F.N. 6 - 1 Drop of lower potency was taken and 100 drops of alcohol was added ★ But this proportion was limited and giving so many succussions were insufficient ★ So by the method described above the medicinal power is increased to great extent ★ The ratio between medicine and medium is extremely disproportionate ★ But this produces very high dynamic power ★ This proportion of 1:100 of medicine and medium if machine is used for succussions then these medicines have great dynamic power which act with great force even on weak patients without long lasting reaction of vital principle ★ Medicines are produced with the highest degree power but with the mildest action ★ If accurately chosen --- touches all the suffering parts curatively ★ In acute fevers - the medicine of long duration e.g. Bella can be repeated in short interval ★ In the treatment of chronic disease - begin with the lowest degree of dynamization ★ Then advance to higher but milder in degrees ( LM )

APHORISM 270 F .N. LM POTENCY- Preparation ★ In rare cases with good vital strength but local disease is persistent ★ Repeated doses of the remedy which proved efficacious ★ If given many succussions to this remedy ★ It makes the remedy highly potentised ★ Local disease disappears after some time ★ F. N. 7 This dynamization method, Dr. Hahnemann derived after so many experiments- most perfected method ★ The dose becomes more powerful, but in mild action ★ Material dose becomes less 50,000 times ★ The 30th potency is not expressing in numbers ★ Material part gets dissolved in spirit like dynamic essence.

Substances which are naturally found combine together in fixed form ★ Sulphur and alkaline salts e.g. Natrum sulph and Calcarea sulph ★ Acids of alkaloids of plants are exposed to great variety of preparations are not the simple medicines- strychnine, morphine ★ Alkaloids are not the only constituents of plants

APHORISM 274 ADMINISTER THE SINGLE REMEDY ★ True physician administers the SINGLE UNCOMBINED REMEDY ★ The artificial disease force which completely over power and cure natural disease ★ ‘It is wrong to attempt to employ complex means when simple means are available’ ★ Give always single simple remedy ★ Simple medicines are thoroughly proved with respect to their pure peculiar effects on the healthy condition of man ★ Two or more substances hinder and alter each other’s action on the human body ★ When simple medicine given to patient on accurate totality and its symptoms were accurately known in HMM constructed after noting the symptoms on provers ★ Even if the remedy is prescribed turns wrong then new symptoms are seen ★ Its advantage that you can confirm the symptoms of that remedy ★ This advantage is lost if prescribe compound remedy

APHORISM 275 SIZE OF THE DOSE SHOULD BE SMALL ★ Suitableness of medicine is not only on ACCURATE selection alone ★ But on size of the dose - SMALLNESS OF THE DOSE / MINUTENESS OF THE DOSE ★ Large dose is harmful ★ Even large dose of homoeopathy is harmful, injurious due to its magnitude ★ Large size of the dose (quantity) ★ Due to similarity, the strong and large dose causes great impact ★ On the sensitive parts of the organism and ★ Those parts which are affected much by natural disease

APHORISM 276 TOO LARGE DOSE IS HARMFUL ★ Minute dose is not harmful ★ Large dose is harmful ★ If highest similarity and ★ Higher the potency ★ It does more harm than ★ The unhomoeopathic remedy ★ It does no good ★ Large dose of accurately chosen homoeopathic remedy is harmful ★ It puts the patient in danger, or disease is incurable ★ Patient suffers from more serious similar medicinal disease, difficult to destry

APHORISM 276 F .N. TOO LARGE DOSE IS HARMFUL ★ F.N. 1- Some homoeopaths agree to large doses ★ Dr. Hahnemann 20 years ago used to use it ( 1822) ★ Maybe it was not similimum ★ Imperfectly prepared by pharmacist ★ F.N. 2 - Allopathic large doses of mercury for syphilis causes development of incurable malady ★ Use of mild active mercurial preparation would have cured the venereal disease with chancre, provided it was not removed by the local applications ★ Use of quinine and peruvian bark in large doses used to treat intermittent fevers. ★ A dose of highly potentized cinchona, would help patients in marshy area and those who don’t have psoric states

TOO LARGE DOSE IS HARMFUL ★ A chronic china malady is produced along with the development of psora ★ Internal vital organs are damaged ★ Especially spleen and liver are damaged ★ Suffering for long years ★ Sad state of health ★ There is no antidote to large dose of homoeopathic remedies which cause such state

APHORISM 277 SMALL DOSE- MINUTE DOSE ★ A medicine with a sufficient small dose ★ Is salutary- producing good effects, beneficial ★ Is marvellously efficacious ★ If selection is accurate on homoeopathic basis ★ All the more its dose is reduced ★ Degree of minuteness of dose ★ Gentle remedial effect is obtained

APHORISM 278 SMALL DOSE- MINUTE DOSE ★ What is the most suitable minute dose to effect remedial effect? ★ How much small the dose of individual medicine ★ The dose must be minute, gentle to bring rapid cure ★ It can not be speculation or imagination or not by fine spun (developed with great care)reasoning, not by sophistry (false argument with intention of deceiving) ★ Pure experiment, careful observation of sensitivity of patient and accurate experience will choice the best suitable dose ★ It is absurd to administer the large dose of allopathic medicine, which does not affect the diseased parts homoeopathically. ★ It attacks the parts unaffected by the disease ★ So pure experience respects the small and minute doses which efect rapid cure

APHORISM 279 SMALL DOSE- MINUTE DOSE ★ If the disease is not advanced much even in chronic disease ★ And if the patient has not much received the allopathic treatment ★ The dose of the homoeopathic remedy which is highly potentized remedy can not be prepared so small as it won’t act to produce stronger, similar artificial morbific disease ★ It then can not extinguish the natural disease from the sensation of life principle ★ Can not bring effective cure

APHORISM 280 SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT- CURE ★ The SIMILIMUM with its correct dose; Does not produce the new symptom ★ General improvement ★ Return of old symptoms; Indicates REAL CURE ★ This is achieved by Gradual ascending of moderate doses modified by succussion (*247) ★ This now indicates vital principle no longer needs to be affected by similar medicinal disease (no need to give similimum ) to lose the sensation of natural disease(No adverse symptoms) ★ It shows vital principle is free from natural disease, now under the control of medicinal disease (similar artificial disease)- known as Homoeopathic aggravation ★ (May not be seen in all cases)

APHORISM 282 IF DOSE IS TOO LARGE- First dose produces Aggravation in chronic diseases- HOMOEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION ★ If the dose was large of homoeopathic medicine given for the treatment of chronic disease, homoeopathic aggravation occurs ★ Increase in the original symptoms of the patient ★ HOMOEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION ★ By every repeated dose modified by shaking before administration ★ F.N. 1 COMMENCEMENT OF HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT IN CHRONIC MIASMATIC DISEASE- Eruptions- PSORA; Chancre- SYPHILIS; Figwarts- SYCOSIS ★ They require large doses of specific remedies in higher degrees of dynamization daily, or several times daily

APHORISM 282 F .N. IF DOSE IS TOO LARGE- First dose produces Aggravation in chronic diseases- HOMOEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION ★ Excessive doses are given to treat these miasmatic disease, it extinguishes the disease and not produce chronic medicinal disease.(no danger to fear of medicinal dusease) ★ But if given in such course of doses, does not produce the medicinal disease (aggravation) ★ During external manifestation of these 3 miasms- progress of the treatment can be judged by to what degree the large dose withdraws the sensation of disease from vital principle ★ Most important is their disappearance makes the physician decide to stop the medicine ★ Physician can claim that he has cured is only by their disappearance externally
