Coffee and Hahnemann

[Peter Graham]

is coca cola as problematic in homeopathy as coffee?

[H. Balasubramanian]

coffee.

Hahnemann in Chronic diseases: Most difficult for a homoeopathic physician is the decision as to drinks. Coffee has in great part the injurious effects on the health of body and soul which I have described in my little book (Wirkungen des Kaffees [Effects of Coffee], Leipzig, 1803); but it has become so much of a habit and a necessity to the greater part of the so-called enlightened nations that it will be as difficult to extirpate as prejudice and superstition, unless the homoeopathic physician in the cure of chronic diseases insists on a general, absolute interdict. Only young people up to the twentieth year, or at most up to the thirtieth, can be suddenly deprived of it without any particular disadvantage; but with persons over thirty and forty years, if they have used coffee from their childhood, it is better to propose to discontinue it gradually and every day to drink somewhat less; when lo and behold! most of them leave it off at once, and they will do so without any peculiar
trouble (except, perhaps, for a few days at the commencement). As late as six years ago I still supposed that older persons who are unwilling to do without it, might be allowed to use it in a small quantity. But I have since then become convinced that even a long-continued habit cannot make it harmless, and as the physician can only permit what is best for his patient, it must remain as an established rule that chronic patients must altogether give up this part of their diet, which is insidiously injurious; and this the patients, high or low, who have the proper confidence in their physician, when it is properly represented to them, almost without exception, do willingly and gladly, to the great improvement of their health. Rye or wheat, roasted like coffee in a drum and then boiled and prepared like coffee, has both in smell and in taste much resemblance to coffee; and rich and poor are using this substitute willingly in several countries.

I would say YES, but for other reasons....
A number of people believe it is not the *caffeine* that is
problematic, but the other essential oils in the coffee. These folks
have seen de-caffeinated coffee have a detrimental effect on weak
constitutions.

Coke, to me, is more problematic because of the other artificial
ingredients, and, of course, the large amount of sugar used.

Diet Coke is TERRIBLE stuff because of the aspertame.

Dear H.B.,

Can you tell us what you think of decaffeinated coffee used as a
substitute for caffeinated coffee?

Thank you,

I know some companies use formaldyhide in the decaffeination process.

Dear,

"Angela Blaen" asked: regarding coffee deca….

I live in Chennai in south India, where coffee is part of regular diet. The coffee is not black. It is not coffea cruda it is roasted coffee. It is mixed with milk and sugar. They would prefer to forego Homoeo treatment, rather than discontinuing coffee. Therefore, I don’t restrict my patients from drinking coffee or tea, though I don’t drink it. For that matter I don’t put any specific restrictions. As in the case of remedies, diet is to be individualised and not to be generalised. I advise them to be guided by their own body mechanism. What the body rejects or the item that disorder them must be avoided. Of course there are some remedies where coffee, salt etc. are to be avoided.
If my memory serves me well, Hahnemann also advised in similar lines.

Hi Julian,
Here's my contribution to the conspiracy theory database. One ingredient is
phosphoric acid. Now if you ask why - what benefit does it have for Coke?
Look at the proving of phos ac. Thirst and craving for sweet. So you drink
coke and get more craving for coke !!

Somebody knew about this and - they are out to get us. By the way, the
formula is different for plastic and glass bottled coke. Different
stability issues. I can drink a litre from glass but a sip from plastic or
can and I get a specific headache. Sure it may be the plastic or can, but
the effect is not the same for other drinks.

Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,
You must be mistaken , From what I read on my Coke
products there are no artificial ingredients.
they are listed as:
Carbonated Water
High Fructrose Corn Syrup/And or Sucrose,
Carmel Color,
Phosphoric Acid,
Natural Flavors,
Caffeine.
Theree are only 39 grams of sugar per can,50mg
sodium,and total carb is 39 grams, there are only 140
calories per 12 oz. , it is by far one of the least
problematic sodas on the market today . You are
surely think of Pepsi with all of its un natural
ingrediants.
also i would love to know where you are getting coke
in Glass. They do special promos in glass bttles but i
have not seen it in litre of glass ever.
