§ 1
The physician’s high and only mission is to restore the sick to health, to cure, as it is termed.1
1 His mission is not, however, to construct so-called systems, by interweaving empty speculations and hypotheses concerning the internal essential nature of the vital processes and the mode in which diseases originate in the interior of the organism, (whereon so many physicians have hitherto ambitiously wasted their talents and their time); nor is it to attempt to give countless explanations regarding the phenomena in diseases and their proximate cause (which must ever remain concealed), wrapped in unintelligible words and an inflated abstract mode of expression, which should sound very learned in order to astonish the ignorant – whilst sick humanity sighs in vain for aid. Of such learned reveries (to which the name of theoretic medicine is given, and for which special professorships are instituted) we have had quite enough, and it is now high time that all who call themselves physicians should at length cease to deceive suffering mankind with mere talk, and begin now, instead, for once to act, that is, really to help and to cure.
§ 2
The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles.
§ 3
If the physician clearly perceives what is to be cured in diseases, that is to say, in every individual case of disease (knowledge of disease, indication), if he clearly perceives what is curative in medicines, that is to say, in each individual medicine (knowledge of medical powers), and if he knows how to adapt, according to clearly defined principles, what is curative in medicines to what he has discovered to be undoubtedly morbid in the patient, so that the recovery must ensue – to adapt it, as well in respect to the suitability of the medicine most appropriate according to its mode of action to the case before him (choice of the remedy, the medicine indicated), as also in respect to the exact mode of preparation and quantity of it required (proper dose), and the proper period for repeating the dose; – if, finally, he knows the obstacles to recovery in each case and is aware how to remove them, so that the restoration may be permanent, then he understands how to treat judiciously and rationally, and he is a true practitioner of the healing art .
§ 4
He is likewise a preserver of health if he knows the things that derange health and cause disease, and how to remove them from persons in health.
§ 5
Useful to the physician in assisting him to cure are the particulars of the most probable exciting cause of the acute disease, as also the most significant points in the whole history of the chronic disease, to enable him to discover its fundamental cause, which is generally due to a chronic miasm. In these investigations, the ascertainable physical constitution of the patient (especially when the disease is chronic), his moral and intellectual character, his occupation, mode of living and habits, his social and domestic relations, his age, sexual function, etc., are to be taken into consideration.
Please feel free to comment or ask questions:-
1) a short and easy stanza but it carries a huge weight and responsibility and it also resonates with the idea that we get on a do that and not indulge in too many theories as he writes in the note attached to the first stanza - forget theories and speculation - no need to reinvent the homeopathic wheel
2) stick with the fundamentals of homeopathy and cure will be quick, gentle and permanent - the disease has to be removed (annihilated) - this has a deeper meaning in as much as real cure has to be deep and not localised or short lived cure via therapuetics
3) we have to recognise what needs to be cured in each and every case and we have to recognise what the real and actual disease state is and what goes beyond the presenting complaints of your clients. This isnt always easy as we need to know a great deal about the disease progression, the paradigm of health and how it becomes deranged into ill health - a journey that can seem complex and hidden at times. We need to know our remedies and how to decide on potency, dose, repetition of dose and case management. And if we can identify any obstacle to cure such as antidoting, client not being amendable to instructions, etc, and deal with them then the progress of the case towards cure should ensue
4) we have to be knowledgeable about health, and what causes it to be deranged - emphasis here on causation
5) we need to understand and observe the exciting cause in acutes and pay attention to the particulars and the significant changes and the fundalmental causes when the chronic miasm is active. We have to pay regard to the person's physical constitution, their moral and intellectual states, their chosen opccupation, living habits, social intereaction, sexual energies and so much more as per taking the case thoroughly and completely.
Fundamental causes - physical and emotional traumas, vaccinations, antibiotics. These can also be exciting causes and if persistent can be a mainataining cause. The primary cause comes from the underlying miasmatic influence of each individual = susceptibility.
