It would appear the communications are getting a bit blurred. I understood the origin of this thread to be a statement about MSM being a basic nutrient in which some or even most people were deficient. This led to a post that questioned if the supplementation of MSM could be suppresive. Followed by another suggesting it was

If we could get back to the original thread - the concern is that there a deficiency in a specific nutrient that may be causing specific symptoms. That is something we must take into account when taking a case and treating the person. Simply using the 'right remedy' will not correct a mineral (or vitamin) deficiency if the basic materials are not made available to the body. And, if a supplement is needed, it is certainly not palliative or suppresive.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I don't believe this thread was concerning unnecessary supplementation for those with no symptoms. I do think this thread was a reminder that there are specific nutrients that cause symptoms and we should be aware that diet and supplementation may be appropriate parts of approaching those symptoms.

Hi Donna,

Sorry, that I misunderstood where you were coming from.
I agree with you, this is strictly according to the Organon

§ 3:
".... if, finally, he knows the obstacles to recovery in each case and is
aware how to remove them, so that the restoration may be permanent, then he
understands how to treat judiciously and rationally, and he is a true
practitioner of the healing art."

and:
§ 4
"He is likewise a preserver of health if he knows the things that derange
health and cause disease, and how to remove them from persons in health."

Homeopathy is much more then applying the simillimum.

On the other hand it is true that a healthy (undisturbed) vital force is
able to compensate for a lacking mineral by means of biological
transmutation. In this process an available mineral is converted to the
missing one.

Kind regards, Piet

Sulphur is rather ubiquitous and found in concentration in many
foods, yet MSM is quite a unique supplement with remarkable
results in some people who already eat lots of high sulphur foods

going on here than sulphur. I expect MSM will have the most
effect in what the Pfeiffer people call "under-methylated".
Again, details and caveats in my article. I would consider
MSM a nutriceutical.
