Dear Shahzad,
As with Valium and aspirin, the way in which Viagra does what it is commonly prescribed to do is that it causes a characteristic kind of alteration from the healthy state. Valium inhibits certain brain functions and so on; aspirin inhibits certain nerve functions and so on; and Viagra increases blood pressure and so on. And all do these things in the healthy just as well as they do them in the ill.
In other words, a prescription of Viagra is in no sense corrective of an existing state of ill-health; it merely adds a medicinal derangement to the existing state, usually with the aim of opposing the original state with the medicinal one and not inducing too strongly the medicinal state’s other symptoms. The result, naturally, is one of continuing battle, the patient’s organism being the battleground.
Homoeopathy’s approach to ill-health is completely different. It seeks to medicinally effect in the patient a medicinal derangement most similar to the existing state, with the aim that the organism’s opposing reaction to it will have a curative tendency. Rather than ignore and attempt to overcome the organism’s opposition to the medicine, homoeopathy exploits it in order to allow the organism’s healing mechanisms, in overcoming the medicinal state, to overcome the very similar prior illness.
So when a patient with a particular symptom -- say, insomnia, or headache, or erectile difficulties -- is treated by homoeopathic means, that can never, ever include a medicine whose primary effect is to cause sleep, or anaesthesia, or erection, as this is prescription by opposites, or enantiopathy. Prescription by similars, homoeopathy, aims not to cause an opposing primary state but a similar one: similar in the broadest aspects of the patient’s illness. Homoeopathy could use, for instance, Viagra; but it would do so in certain cases that tended toward priapism (or at least persistent erections) and high blood pressure rather than toward impotency and low blood pressure, since the former will be the cases to which it will bear some similarity to the derangement that the medicine is capable of causing. Of course, it will only be useful in those cases in which the patient's other symptoms too resemble the drug's state of derangement.
Does that answer your question?
Kind regards,
John

that isn't how homeopathy works
for something that is chronic, need the whole picture looked at.
Homeopathy doesn't work like allopathy where they give a pill for one symptom.

In homeopathy all patients are treated as individuals, we take a whole case and find the remedy that fits the patient as accurately as possible.

That said, didn't a homeopath (Kent?) say Lycopodium helped the older man when married to a younger woman?

Please note, if the patient doesn't have 'lycopodium symptoms' it will not work.

If the question was meant for you or your friend, see a professional homeopath, It will save you or your friend a lot of time, energy and disappointment.

Dear Shahzad,

Impotence is almost always a sign of cardiovascular problems. If the cardiovascular problems go away, because of homeopathy or increased Vitamin C up to perhaps 6 grams or more per day, then the problem may just disappear. Animals that create their own Vitamin C, and that would be most animals, create the equivalent of an averaged sized person assimilating about 5.6 grams of Vitamin C. Great apes do not create their own Vitamin C, and gorillas eat roughly 8 grams of Vitamin C. So it is easy to see that most human beings, especially those living in the modern world, do not eat enough Vitamin C. And Vitamin C deficiency causes heart diseases.

There are almost certainly other issues with cardiovascular diseases; I just happen to be studying Vitamin C right now as I type this.

Hi Shahzad,

As much as these problems are best dealt with in individual
consultation and prescription, nevertheless, there's a handful of
remedies that can meet the needs of dysfunction. There could be a
number of underlying problems that should be dealt with first. Heart
problems, previous STDs, age, anxiety, longstanding illnesses all
could lead to dysfunction.

Dysfunction is usually a sign of something else going on and the body
has taken steps to protect itself. So if you don't address the
underlying problems you may be causing more harm through this
ignorance. Better to see a practitioner to deal with all problems.

Nevertheless some remedies are there. Most of them work well as
low-potency tinctures or herbals, as well as higher potencies.
According to feedback from my clinic, these may work within 30-60
minutes. But as said by other minutus contributors, these remedies,
when not individuall prescribed may or maynot cure, but only work for
sort periods.

selenium
yohimbrim
agnus castus
damaris
withania somnifera (ashwagandha)
sabal serrata

Also
lycopodium
phos acid
avena sativa

[John Harvey]

… and, just to put this in context, when prescribed in order to attain such a result or without accounting for the patient's entire state, such a "remedy" bears no known homoeopathic relationship to the patient's state, and therefore cannot be said to have been prescribed homoeopathically; its use is, in the broadest sense, allopathic.

John
