Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 30

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
*******************************

Aphorism 30:

The human body appears to admit of being much more
powerfully affected in its health by medicines (partly
because we have the regulation of the dose in our own
power) than by natural morbid stimuli - for natural
diseases are cured and overcome by suitable
medicines.(1)
Footnote 1:

The short duration of the action of the artificial
morbific forces, which we term medicines, makes it
possible that, although they are stronger than the
natural diseases, they can yet be much more easily
overcome by the vital force than can the weaker
natural diseases, which solely in consequence of the
longer, generally lifelong, duration of their action
(psora, syphilis, sycosis), can never be vanquished
and extinguished by it alone, until the physician
affects the vital force in a stronger manner by an
agent that produces a disease very similar, but
stronger to wit a homœopathic medicine. The cures of
diseases of many years’ duration (§ 46), by the
occurrence of smallpox and measles (both of which run
a course of only a few weeks), are processes of a
similar character.'
