Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 61

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

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

Aphorism 61:

'Had physicians been capable of reflecting on the sad
results of the antagonistic employment of medicines,
they had long since discovered the grand truth, THAT
THE TRUE RADICAL HEALING ART MUST BE FOUND IN THE
EXACT OPPOSITE OF SUCH AN ANTIPATHIC TREATMENT OF THE
SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE; they would have become convinced,
that as a medicinal action antagonistic to the
symptoms of the disease (an antipathically employed
medicine) is followed by only transient relief, and
after that is passed, by invariable aggravation, the
converse of that procedure, the homœopathic employment
of medicines according to similarity of symptoms, must
effect a permanent and perfect cure, if at the same
time the opposite of their large doses, the most
minute doses, are exhibited. But neither the obvious
aggravation that ensued from their antipathic
treatment, nor the fact that no physician ever
effected a permanent cure of disease of considerable
or of long standing unless some homœopathic medicinal
agent was accidentally a chief ingredient in his
prescription, nor yet the circumstances that all the
rapid and perfect cures that nature ever performed (§
46), were always effected by the supervention upon the
old disease of one of a similar character, ever taught
them, during such a long series of centuries, this
truth, the knowledge of which can alone conduce to the
benefit of the sick.'
