CURE
Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2009 10:55 am
Dear John
This was excellent thank you!
Now you had mentioned that other methods of practice had managed to Cure. Do they manage it as per below - or is it symptomatic treatment.
You mentioned TCM as being curative. Is that really the case? Or are there a lot of suppression? So as soon as you stop taking the combinations prescribed, the sx come back.

My thought exactly. And § 2. But the meat of his meaning is found in "Nature of Chronic Diseases", in Chronic Diseases.
From page 26, 1976 Jain edition (summing up the previous few pages' discussion of the failure of homoeopathy to maintain its effect in certain chronic illnesses):
"This was, and remained, the quicker or slower process in such treatments in all non-venereal, severe chronic diseases, even when these were treated in exact accordance with the Homoeopathic art as hitherto unknown. Their beginning was promising, the continuation less favourable, the outcome hopeless."
And from page 76:
"In the chronic miasmatic diseases nature observes the same course with respect to the mode of contagion and the antecedant formation of the internal disease, before the external declarative symptoms of its internal completion manifests itself on the surface of the body, but then that great remarkable difference from the acute diseases shows itself, that in the the chronic miasmata the entire internal disease, as we have mentioned before, remains in the organism during the whole life, yea, it increases with every year, if it is not exterminated and throughly cured by art."
And from the footnote to page 144 (the final page of the chapter):
"Now since, in addition, the other remedies, although also selected according to the similarity of their symptoms, do not by far yield so durable and thorough a cure in such chronic diseases, as those which are recognised as anti-psoric, and which are selected in as Homoeopathic a manner, because these more than the others are adequate to the whole extent of the endless number of symptoms of the great Psora malady: I do not see why men will deny to the latter the title of the especially anti-psoric remedies, unless this springs from dogmatism."
What these paragraphs and those they sum up convey of the matter is that Hahnemann's standard is one of the illness's entire and permanent removal -- which in the case of chronic diseases entails recognition of the greater part of the illness of which only some portion may be manifest at the time of the homoeopathic consultation.
