Homeopathy - What is it? Part 4 (Teacher: Michael)

But in acute work, say fevers for instance, homeopathic physician again approaches his problems in quite different way to ordinary doctor. What does latter do nowadays? He usually chooses one of many sulphonamides or antibiotic drugs which he thinks, or has proved in laboratory, will most readily deal with microbes held responsible for illness, so that patient will have time to develop his own defensive mechanisms, kill microbes, and thus get well.

However not infrequently patient has to recover, not only from his original infection, but from side effects or poisoning caused by drug used, as you may have experienced. homeopathic physician having made his physical diagnosis, does not, however, take this named disease as indication for remedy to be given. To select remedy he must also take note of speed with which illness has developed, height and character of fever, question as to whether patient is restless or not, has thirst or not, and if he is thirsty whether it is for large or small draughts; if he is suffering pain, whether it is better or worse for movement of painful part, from pressure or application of heat or cold, etc.

Also if patient is delirious, type of delirium is important to observe before deciding on remedy required. By combining answers to these questions, physician is led to remedy which has similar combination of answers when proved on healthy person during research. There are no side effects to be overcome and course of illness is usually remarkably free from complications and convalescence is very quick. By choosing remedy in this way, homeopathic physician has very good reason for believing he is getting at root of trouble: and so when symptoms abate, it is because disease process - cause of symptoms - is being got rid of.
