THE BEGINNINGS OF DISEASE ELEMENTS DEFICIENT OR OUT OF BALANCE CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES

by

It is not necessary in this presence to dwell upon how to find the constitutional remedy, but a little personal experience may not be out of place. For many years we have followed the usual methods-recording the totality of the symptoms; classifying them according to the various spheres, organs, and tissues involved. By this method, with diligent use of the repertory, we have been able to find the group of elements deficient or out of balance, but to pick the paramount one has until recently proved a difficult task.

We could follow our repertory findings with a careful study of the materia medica, and then make a wise guess, but this involved an element of uncertainty, but now, or doubts can easily be swept aside-the guess changes into an actual fact. Take the half-dozen, dozen, or more remedies found by repertory analysis, and test their radio-activity with the blood and prove their power to cancel the diseased conditions according to the electronic methods of diagnosis.

In support of biochemic therapeutics, Schuessler declared in substance, that disease is caused by a deficiency in the amount of inorganic constituents of the body, and that to dissipate the condition it was only necessary to administer the requisite amount of these elements.

“This therapeutic procedure is styled by Schuessler, the biochemic method, and stress is laid on the fact and laws in physiological chemistry and allied science”.

Schuessler grasped a portion of a great truth, and the marvelous success attained by him attests the value of even a portion of a great fundamental law. Undoubtedly disease is caused in part by a deficiency in the inorganic constituents of the body, but this i hardly half the truth; there may be an excess, of a lack of harmony, in other words, elements deficient or out of balance.

The futility of mastering all the disease conditions by the administration of twelve elements-call them tissue remedies, or what you will, is apparent when it is realized that some of these elements may already be in excess, while there may be any one of a dozen or more other elements concerned in the basic causes of disease. Moreover, it may not be possible to administer the element may not have been isolated and prepared for therapeutic use.

Unquestionably all the elements are contained in food, and while we may not be able to administer directly a particular element, we may find that substance, namely, the constitutional remedy, which when administered, will enable the vital force of the body to appropriate from the food that which is required; thus establishing harmony and order in the elements deficient, or out of balance.

We cannot comprehend, but we can to some slight degree apprehend, the great value and mighty powers of the constitutional remedy :

It eliminates confusion;

It restores order; It establishes health;

It fortifies against contagion;

It maintains the physical powers at the high point of efficiency;

It brings tranquillity to mind and spirit;

It tends to restrain the undesirable manifestations of anger, malice, envy, and enables the individual to take a philosophical view of exasperating and trying circumstances;

It abolishes fear;

It assuages grief;

It modifies and even changes unlovely dispositions;

It sharpens judgment, and enables the worlds workers to see clearly and choose that course in business or other relations which tends to the maximum of desirable results.

It is an elixir of life-a precious jewel. Seek for it until you find it, and when you find it, your patients, will say of you: “He brought me up out of an horrible pit, out of the mirey clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.” Like the wise mans description of wisdom, “all the things thou canst desire medically, are not to be compared unto her”; “Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.
