Hi all,
Perhaps bio-chemic medicines are given less credit than they deserve.
Bio-chemic medicines do work and many times they work miraculously. But
they have their own special place. Suppose you are treating somebody
constitutionally and they come down with some acute condition. In such
cases instead of giving a remedy for the acute condition and spoiling the
action of your constiotutional remedy it might be better to give a
bio-chemic remedy as these remedies usually do not antidote the high
potencies we use in Homoeopathy.
As an experiment I once decided to treat all new cases with bio-chemic
remedies for two weeks. I treated more than 100 cases some of them acute
conditions but many of them chronic. I was surprised at the results. I
gave single remedies in the 6x and I had to shift to homoeopathy in only
nine or ten cases. Most of the cases responded with the first prescription
in some I had to change the tissue remedy. If after the second prescription
there was no change I would shift to Homoeopathy.

The only bio-chemic remedy I have never seen work in the 6x is Calc-flour.
But many people have had good results with this remedy too in the 6x. It is
good to know the bio-chemic remedies if you have to deal with a lot of acute
diseases.

Thanks for those thoughts, elham!
I assume that the cell salts wouldn't usually be as lasting (i.e.
"curative") compared with more high-potency, individualized treatment --
what do you think?

More than to know how better they work, the funda
question is whether you subscribe to Schusslers theory
of deficiency of the salts and the substitutons. They
are also potencies ( as anything beyond 6x is) and
sure to work. Their mat med is not on proving. That's
the difference. I approach them on purely homeo
grounds. Elham's posting is interesting.

Hi,
You wrote:

With calc-fl, you have to be patient as well as the patient to
use
it continuously for 1 to 2 months on a daily dose and then
only
you can see the result. In a case of extra bone growth on the
left
thumb of a 30 year old woman who was otherwise hale and
healthy
but had cancer background in her family, I gave this not able
to find
a homeopathic remedy to suit her condition and imagine my
surprise
when the lady reported back with a cheerful face after 3
months.

Are these not Homeopathic remedies in lower potencies?

Hi elham,
Whose idea was it not to prescribe for an acute condition? And whose idea
was it that you "spoil the case" in so doing? I know the "modern day" idea
is that this will happen, but I am wondering who thought this up.

My line of thinking is, you have chronic disease and acute flare ups (of
psora). If the patient gets an "aggravation" this may appear as an acute
condition. Firstly the severity of the acute condition determines whether
you must do anything. The idea that "aggravations are good" is a fallacy.
A slight aggravation tells you, if it is related to the patients condition,
that the patient was ideally suscpetible to the remedy and so you may have
given the simillimum, depending on the outcome,. And you know the remedy
was a "slighlty stronger similar disease". This is in line with the
Organon's first aphorisms about the "gentlest possible way".

Now the aggravation may be slight and clear by itself - the "7 days with
medicine or 1 week without scenario". However what if the aggravation is
dissimilar to the patients CHRONIC state and manifests with characteristics
of a well indicated remedy? For example, a Silica child is given Silica.
We know that Silicas can get ill under certain conditions, say they get
exposed to a cold draft. So the child is out at night and gets a cold draft
and the next thing they have a snotty nose and otitis and the
characteristics of Pulsatilla - which would include the mental changes such
as clingy and weepy. This is what Hahnemann talks about in the flare up of
acute psora - there is a change in the disposition. Should you leave the
child or treat? For my money the vital force is in a derangement of
Pulsatilla - that is the current simillimum. I would prescribe Pulsatilla.
And when the chiild is better I would observe and if it looks like the
Silica is needed I would prescribe again - at the same potency if I felt
the original was OK, or at lower or LM potency if I felt teh Silica was too
high. I would base this on the fact that the child's vital force was
"Silica deranged" as chronic disease, became too intensely Silica deranged
by my high prescription - i.e. it was not a Slightly stronger morbific
influence, and so I need to rethink posology. In this case the previous
dose of Silica is no longer active because my assesment of the case
(mentals, characteristics) tells me "Silica is no longer working", i.e.
return of old symptoms means the Silica is not working Then I would
prescribe Silica.

If after the acute the child recovers and is quite happy and the mentals and
characteristics are much better, I would wait and do normal follow-up. The
silica did enough good work in the begininng and the Pulsatilla acute was
developed at the tail end of cure, probably due to intense exposure to the
cold weather. In practice this is the approach I follow and haven't seen
any cases "spoilt". If the "simillimum" doesn't work well after the acute
prescription, its been because it was the wrong prescription (and I can see
that because certain changes I would have expected to happen didn't happen),
the child got sick as usual and as Jeremey Sherr says "shit happens". Then
I have to rethink and choose a new remedy. In this case, where the remedy
was wrong to start with, it could even be that the Sx are proving Sx and
need to be anitidoted.

Paul Booyse
