Talking about nicotine receptors in the brain, Professor Richard Mackarness, part of the clinical ecology movement, developed a method of treating allergy or addiction (two sides of the same coin) with very dilute amounts of the substances in question. This can (and still is) being used today to stop people smoking very effectively. A dilution (but not a succussion) of tobacco smoke in water is used (further diluted according to each patient's particular 'endpoint') and a drop is placed on the tongue. This has the effect of switching off the chemical receptors in the brain which in turn stops the physical craving.

I do this most of the time.
Any drug has 2 aspects when looking at side-effects: the chemical and the energetic.
The chemical SE, like nutrient depletion as was already written, or enzyme blockage as happens with statins, are best addressed by nutritional and supplemental means, sometimes targeted remedies (herbal or homeopathic) that compensate or reverse the organic malfunction.
The energetic aspect means that there is a "legacy" of the drug; those molecules have been diluted in the blood stream and through the circulation sort of "succussed"; in turn they have an energetic action on receptors as Prof Quemoun has demonstrated with potentised nicotine blocking the nicotine receptors in the brain (unfortunately he did not publish his research and has never answered my letters to send me the material).
By giving the potentised drug, we simply lift the blockages, the energetic effects of the drug; it is "removing the obstacles to cure"; then the real picture, with real damage, emerges and it becomes easier to find the appropriate remedy.
I found out in my practice that the longer the drug has been taken and the more severe the SE, the more this Isotherapic/tautopathic technique is needed. I have successfully treated patients with the indicated remedy without resorting to isotherapy, but most of them, if memory serves well, were patients wanting to get rid of the drugs and their disease. Almost every time I was confronted with severe SE, I had to resort to giving the potentised drug, along with organ repair and drainage.
All fully explained in my book, btw........
