Homeopathy - What is it? Part 5 (Teacher: Michael)

The homeopathic physician never looks for specific remedy to cure all cases of named disease. He realises that it is impossible, because individuals differ so much one from another in their reactions to apparently same infection. He is always in search of individual remedy that fits that particular person at that particular time.

What about chronic illnesses? In treating much of chronic illness nowadays, ordinary physician tends rather to concentrate on suppressing or masking most prominent symptom of his patient. For example, use of cortisone in rheumatoid arthritis, although it relieves pain, is by no means curative treatment. It also has great disadvantage of possibly setting up some other complaint by reason of so-called side effects. Indeed, much of modern medicine is becoming more and more system of suppression - putting dust under mat - and subjecting patients to what some physicians regard as unnecessary risks, bearing in mind that many or most of these modern remedies do not cure but merely relieve.

From these statements one must not get idea that sulphonamides and antibiotics are not of value. They are of great value if physician knows of nothing better. homeopathic physician, however, will occasionally make use of them, but only in very severe illnesses such as for example, meningitis, where risk to life or of permanent disability is so very urgent that he would combine his homeopathically chosen remedy with use of requisite antibiotic.
