The Way of CURE...

Dr. Kent Says In His Lectures On Philosophy ;-

After a prescription has been made the physician commences to make observations.

 - The whole future of the patient may depend upon the conclusions that the physician arrives at from these observations, for his action depends very much upon his observations, and upon his action depends the good of the patient.

 - If he is not conversant with the import of what he sees, he will undertake to do wrong things, he will make wrong prescriptions, he will change his medicines and do things to the detriment of the patient.

 - If the homoeopathic physician is not an accurate observer, his observations will be indefinite; and if his observations are indefinite, his prescribing is indefinite.

 - It is taken for granted after a prescription has been made, and it is an accurate prescription, that it has acted.

 - Now, if a medicine is acting it commences immediately to effect changes in the patient, and these changes are shown by signs and symptoms.

 - The inner nature of the disease appears to the physician through the symptoms, and it is like watching the hands upon the clock.

 - The observations taken after a specific remedy has been given sufficiently related to the case to cause changes in the symptoms are those of value.

 - The changes are beginning, what are they like, what do they mean, to what do they amount?

 - The physician must know when he listens to the reports of the patient what is going on.

 - The remedy is known to act by the changing of symptoms.

 - The disappearance of symptoms, the increase of symptoms, the amelioration of symptoms, the order of the symptoms, are all changes from the remedy, and these changes are to be studied.

- The second prescription may be a repetition of the first, or it may be an antidote or a complement; but none of these things can be considered unless the record has been again fully studied, unless the first examination, and all the things that have since arisen, have been carefully restudied that they may be brought again to the mind of the physician.

 - This is one of the difficulties to contend with when patients change doctors, and one of the reasons why patients do not do well after such a change.

 - The strict homoeopathic physician knows the importance of this and will try to ascertain the first prescription.

 - If the former physician is strictly a homoeopathic physician, he is most competent of all others to make the second prescription.

- The rule is, after the first correct and homoeopathic prescription, the striking features for which that remedy was administered have been removed, a change has come, and the guiding symptoms of the case have been taken out, and only the common and trivial symptoms remain.

- The second prescription, then, technically speaking, is the prescription after the one that has acted.

 - You may administer a dozen remedies without having any effect upon the economy, and yet no prescription has been administered that has been specific.

 - You may fool away much time in administering remedies that are not related to the case.

 - The result is the same.

 - Consider the first prescription the one that has acted, that one that has effected changes, and subsequent to that the next prescription is the second.

- After the administration of the medicine, when a new group of symptoms appears somewhere in the body relative to the patient, such as the patient has never had, this new group of symptoms means that a new remedy must be considered, and under such circumstances the change of the remedy will be the second prescription, and the second prescription in this case calls for a change of remedy.

 - We will suppose another instance where the remedy must be changed.

 - A patient has been for years under treatment for a constitutional chronic disorder, and you have gone through the potencies ranging from the lowest to the highest, and they have acted curatively.

 - You have administered the different potencies, repeating the same potency until it would not act any longer, and then going higher, until you have gone through the whole range of potencies.

 - You can repeat that remedy many times on a paucity of symptoms, when you cannot give another remedy, simply because it has demonstrated itself to be the patient's constitutional remedy.

 - This remedy should not be changed so long as the curative action can be maintained.

 - Even if the symptoms have been changed do not change the remedy, provided the patient has continuously improved.

 - If the patient says he has improved continuously, and though it would be impossible for you, at this date, from the present symptoms, to select that remedy, hold on to that remedy, so long as you can secure improvement and good from it, though the symptoms have changed.

 - Many physicians say: "If the symptoms change, I change the remedy."

 - That is one of the most detrimental things that can be done.

 - Change the remedy if the symptoms have changed, providing the patient has not improved; but if the patient has improved, though the symptoms have changed, continue that remedy so long as the patient improves.

 - Very often the patients are giving forth symptoms long forgotten.

 - The patient has not heard them, or has not felt them, because he has become accustomed to them, like the ticking or the striking of the clock on the wall.

 - Many of the symptoms that appear, and the slightest changes that occur, are old symptoms coming back.

 - The patient is not always able to say that they are old symptoms returning, but finally the daughter or somebody in the house will delight you be saying that her mother had these things years ago and she has forgotten them.

 - This is likely to be the case whenever a patient is improving.

 - So long as curative action can be obtained, and even though the symptoms have changes, provided the patient is improving, hands off;

 - Whenever in doubt, wait.

 - It is a rule after you have gone through a series of potencies, never to leave that remedy until one more dose of a higher potency has been given and tested.

 - But when this dose of a higher potency has been given and tested, without effect, that is the only means you have of knowing that this remedy has done all the good it can for this patient and that a change is necessary.

 - There is another instance to be spoken of, and that is when the second prescription becomes a complementary one.

 - A second prescription is sometimes necessary to complement the former and this is always a change of remedy.

 - Suppose a little four or five year old child, a large-headed, bright blue-eyed boy, is subject to taking cold, and every cold settles in the head with flushed face and throbbing carotids, etc., you say give him Belladonna and Bell. relieves, but it does not act as a constitutional remedy.

 - He continues to have these headaches, which are due to a psoric constitution, and the time comes when Bell., will not relieve them; but upon a thorough study of the case, you find that when his symptoms are not acute, when he does not have this cold and fever, he does not have the headache and you see an entirely different remedy indicated.

 - You study over the flabby muscles, and you find his glands are enlarged; that he takes cold with every change in the weather, like enough he craves eggs, and you decide that the case calls for Calcarea.

 - The fact that Bell. was so closely related to him and only acted as a palliative further emphasizes it.

 - It is a loss of time to treat more than the first or second acute paroxysm.

 - Do not give Calcarea during the paroxysm, but after the wire edge has been rubbed off by Bell. give him that constitutional remedy that is complementary to Bell., which is Calcarea.

 - Many remedies associate with each other and become cognates after this fashion.

 - Then there are series of remedies, as, for instance, Sulphur, Calcarea and Lycopodium.

 - A medicine always leads to one of its own cognates, and we find that the cognates are closely related to each other, like Sepia and Nux vomica.

 - A bilious fever in a Sepia constitution is likely to call for Nux, and as soon as that bilious fever or remittent fever has subsided the symptoms of Sepia come out immediately, showing the complementary relation of Nux and Sepia.

 - If the patient has been under the influence of Sepia some time, and comes down with some acute inflammatory attack, he is very likely to run towards Nux or another of its cognates.

 - The whole Materia Medica abounds with these complementary and cognate relationships.

In the words of Dr. Venkatesh sir, Homeopathic cures are rotational transformations.

•  The remedy relationship in Homeopathy is something every homeopath concurs with and there is no difference of opinion whatsoever in this regard. The pivotals Sulphur, Calcarea-Carb and Lycopodium and their relationship that, under the action of Sulphur the resultant state usually tend towards Calcarea, and Calcarea to Lyco and again from Lycopodium we can get the original state (remedy picture) of Sulphur- is an internally well established rule.

• State of health doesn't have any starting point in the spectrum of diseases. It can have diffrent starting points in different patients according to their constitution, living condition and environment. that means every vector can be pathological and every rotation from the action of a similimum always is towards less and less pathological state.

Aluminium metallicum

Introduction -

For Aluminium metallicum Dr. Jan Scholten says,

• there is a confusion about who he is and who the other person is.

• They feel they have managed to find their own place and they deserve to have this place, but there are still several points that aren't clear to them. They wonder whether they really want this relationship. They also wonder how to proceed. How much of themselves should they give to this relationship? What is left of them since they have given themselves to this relationship? 

• They are confused about their own position in relation to the other person. They know they are in a relationship but they don't know where their own identity and responsibility end and the other person's begins. They ask themselves questions like: 'Was it really me who did this?' or 'Am I being myself at the moment?' This is the well known rubric'Confusion about identity'. Another typical symptom is that they don't recognise themselves when they look in the mirror. They look at themselves in surprise and think: 'Is that really me?' The confusion about where they end and the other person begins is sometimes so strong that it stops them from taking responsibility for their own actions. 

• Out of a desire to belong to the group they often do whatever the other person wants, thereby ignoring their own wishes. They carry out a task as requested by a family member or a peer group and later on they discover that it was probably not such a good idea. They feel uncomfortable about it and start to ask themselves whether it was really them who carried out this request: 'After all it was the group who asked them to do this, so isn't it the groups responsibility?' We find this in the repertory under the rubrics 'Delusion other speaks', 'Delusion other hears', 'Delusion consciousness belongs to another', 'Delusion head belongs to another' and 'Errors about identity'. 

• It is a very important remedy for people who did wrong during the war, who did things that did not agree with their own morals, but 'Befehl ist befehl'; also for people who spend their life thinking they have committed a crime. 

• These people might talk about themselves in an impersonal way, as if they are talking about someone else, using the words 'you' or 'one' instead of 'I'. 

• They doubt whether they have chosen the right partner or the right relationship. They keep on searching to try and find out whether another relationship wouldn't be more suitable. This creates complicated triangular relationships with all the confusion and doubt that goes with these. Who should they choose? Whose ideas should they follow? Should they listen to their boss or to their colleague? Should they choose for their wife or for their sister. They can never make up their minds, always afraid to make the wrong choice and regret it later. 

• All this wavering and hesitation eventually makes their partner unsure about the whole relationship too. The partner thought that a commitment had been made but now it all looks very unstable and he doesn't know what to think of it anymore. 

• A similar doubt may exist with regard to the family. They know they are part of the family but they don't really feel at ease, as if they can't really be themselves, as if they have to give part of themselves away for the sake of the whole group. 

• This theme may emerge within a very strict or religious family, where everybody has to obey the rules. Or we may see it in religious sects where there is a strong regime of discipline and obedience to authority. Nobody can be themselves, they have to do as they are told. A similar situation exists in the army, where they are forced to do things they would never dream of doing themselves.
