Try this change of potency before rashly changing the drug. As an extra precaution you have better cut out all coffee whilst under homoeopathic medication. Our remedies are very subtle and delicate. Also bear in mind that too much strong tea will very likely constipate you. Avoid all acids, and other condiments, and try to live (eat) simply.
Your “disease symptoms” are as Nature demanding an additional “stimulation” in the “similar” direction to help the vital forces to cure. The Homoeopathic or similarly acting and stimulating drug is the one which Nature is thus asking for, to complete this work. Can anything be clearer?.
An allopathic doctor challenged me a short time ago thus: “You say you can cure many cases immediately. If I do this, how can I live, support my family, pay rent, taxes and my car, etc.” My reply was: “For every case you cure so dramatically, that case or family will send you many other new patients, so you will be kept busy, besides helping so many chronic sufferers. Thus do the homoeopaths manage to live and prosper, and learn better all the time, with their single drug cures.”.
After all, the public have some rights, and they want a quick cure, without damage to any organ of elimination. Strong drugs have always a secondary action, and allopathic pharmacopoeias and toxicology bear witness to their destructive secondary actions (q.v.).
Homoeopaths the world over are more and more content with their “positive medicine”, inherited from Hahnemann (1796), who gave priority, in honourable fashion, to Hippocrates (450-400 B.C.), but this undoubted Law of Nature must have existed from the beginning of all TIME. Hippocrates only saw the light of this Law in but very few instances, he failed to see or learn our Law of the small or minutest doses, in order to avoid unnecessary aggravations.
He gave the ordinary huge doses of his time, so he cured in but few instances, because of all his drug “aggravations”. Thus, the idea of “Similia” fell into disrepute for centuries, and it remained for Hahnemann (1796) to recognize the useless “drug aggravations”, which he avoided by at once instituting the fractional doses, so common in this day.
So, secondary to the correct choice of a remedy, we must employ the fractional or non-aggravating sized dose. Another common sense point to observe. If you desire precedence and warranty before adopting “this Homoeopathy” I offer you the dates 400 B.C. and again A.D. 1796 which is a reasonable antiquity, stating that we have not altered those precepts one iota.
Homoeopathy acts as well in ACUTE diseases. See “HEAL THYSELF” for November-December, 1934 for my PNEUMONIA STATISTICS of comparative death rates of allopathic and homoeopathic doctors, in this disease. The publishers of this Journal have to-day written me that they are reprinting my pneumonia article in pamphlet form.
Comparative death risks are there shown to be 29.5 per cent. for the allopathic treatment, which has remained constant for many decades, whilst our homoeopathic death risks are under 5 per cent. This is for all ages and all classes of this disease.
In Influenza the same advantage lies with Homoeopathy. (See “HEAL THYSELF”, page 137 for 1935.) We Homoeopaths lose under 1 per cent. of all cases of flu, which have not been damaged with any “fever-breaking drugs” before coming to us. Whilst the allopathic death rate in fly is about 30 per cent.
These figures stand good until disproved, but as all those statistics are taken from Public Records, there is no chance of alteration. Which death rate do YOU prefer?.
As an introduction to Homoeopathy I beg of you to buy Dr. Charettes small book called What is Homoeopathy? to be had from the publishers of this Journal. It has been translated into seven languages, which speaks for itself. It is written in light French vein, yet with quotations for every statement given. It is most enlightening and easy for any laity to grasp.
He proves that many allopathic leaders have spoken highly of the Law of Similars, and the mystery to me is that they, as a school, have not seized hold of Homoeopathy long before this. The rank and file of the allopaths, want to do so, as many such have told me personally, but they actually fear the censure of the G.M.C. who will have none of it. Evidently they are too old to change, and you, the public, suffer.
Public spirited “HEAL THYSELF” is trying to help the allopathic profession, also the laity, and if the profession do not learn and act, then let the laity take hold in earnest, which they are doing, judging from the increasing circulation of this Journal. And, so to bed?.
