aggravations early on

[Sheri Nakken]

Note footnote 2

§ 249

Every medicine prescribed for a case of disease which, in the course of its
action, produces new and troublesome symptoms not appertaining to the
disease to be cured, is not capable of effecting real improvement,1 and
cannot be considered as homoeopathically selected; it must, therefore,
either, if the aggravation be considerable, be first partially neutralized
as soon as possible by an antidote before giving the next remedy chosen
more accurately according to similarity of action; or if the troublesome
symptoms be not very violent, the next remedy must be given immediately, in
order to take the place of the improperly selected one.2

1 As all experience shows that the dose of the specially suited
homoeopathic medicine can scarcely be prepared too small to effect
perceptible amelioration in the disease for which it is appropriate (§§
275-278), we should act injudiciously and hurtfully were we when no
improvement, or some, though it be even slight, aggravation ensues, to
repeat or even increase the dose of the same medicine, as is done in the
old system, under the delusion that it was not efficacious on account of
its small quantity (its too small dose). Every aggravation by the
production of new symptoms - when nothing untoward has occurred in the
mental or physical regimen - invariably proves unsuitableness on the part
of the medicine formerly given in the case of disease before us, but never
indicates that the dose has been too weak.

2 The well informed and conscientiously careful physician will never be in
a position to require an antidote in his practice if he will begin, as he
should, to give the selected medicine in the smallest possible dose. Like
minute doses of a better chosen remedy will re-establish order throughout.
