Prescribing on the Basis of Removal of Suppressions

In para 4 of Organon of medicine  Hahnemann says: "for the purpose of cure that the homeopathic physician should know the causes of diseases and how to remove them." The immediate and remote causes are in fact morbific influences which are to be neutralized, immunized or the patient is desensitized to recover from these diseases. There are differences between neutralization, immunization, desensitization and the method required for the removal of suppressions. All those factors that suppress the vital dynamis are to be removed so that recovery from diseases may occur naturally. These factors may be exogenous or endogenous.

Exogenous factors consists of diseases which have an affinity to different organs of the body and the vital dynamis is unable to remove them unless we strengthen the vital dynamis to though them out of the body. This process is called as Canalization, Drainage and overhauling the background. The exogenous disease like malaria, gonorrhea, tuberculosis and other viral/bacterial diseases have to be analyzed so that there presence which vitiates over vital dynamis is removed. Killing these germs and parasites by allopathic medicines/homeopathic medicines may palliate but not cure. It may cause other harmful effects too.

The diseases which have viral/bacterial and parasitic origin and produce epidemic, endemic, sporadic, acute and chronic diseases begin from the bulk of acute diseases and of they are not cured and remained suppressed by wrong treatment they may form into chronic diseases like Organopathic, tuberculosis, gonorrheal rheumatism, chronic amoebiasis, malarial spleno megaly etc... These diseases require a drainage and regular treatment so that the inimical toxins are thrown out from body.

Dr. Bernoville and Nabel states in their book "Tuberculosis" in chapter "Drainage and regulation", the drainage is the general effect of means applied to the regular elimination of toxins that encumber the organisms of patient.

What is Drainage remedy?

The remedy of drainage is that which has an action selectively on the tissues of the organ of which the function is hindered, deviated or paralyzed by in toxification.

Mechanisms of Drainage Remedy

It is easy to make precise schematically the conditions in which the organ is found before and after the drainage.

• Before Drainage: There exists in the peri-cellular milieu i.e. to say in blood:

  1. Some microbial toxins diffused out of the cell

  2. Some autogenously secreted toxins by the cells

  3. Some viruses and some microbial toxins directly secreted by the peri-cellular milieu.

  The rejection of toxins out of the peri-cellular milieu has become insufficient, there is some toxic retention and peri-cellular tension that hinders the normal excretory function of the cell. Demineralization progressively, decalcificating flow carries with it the constitutive elements towards the urine (phosphoturia) and to the intestine (constipation).

• After Drainage: After the drainage proved by the introduction, in peri-cellular milieu, of the remedy indicated by the morbid symptoms and given in infinitesimal doses, one obtains the regular elimination of toxins through the peri-cellular milieu. Elimination equals the production. Demineralization is slightened, the cell losses less calcium salts. The toxic tension of the peri-cellular milieu i.e. to say blood diminishes and there results a sort of attraction of the toxic elements of the over active cell towards peri-cellular tissue. This attraction is represented by the patient in the form of ephemeral fatigue very often seen in the beginning of the treatment of a subject drained.

The remedy of drainage diminishes the intra-sanguine toxic tension by awakening the activity of the cell and in assuring the regular elimination of its toxins.

Dr. Bernoville and Nabel of France warns us that although elimination of chronic disease or over-hauling the background is sound in theory but unless the physician knows the whole technique he is liable to produce disastrous results. The patient suffering from chronic diseases must be adequately prepared before the removal of background so that his vital dynamis becomes strong enough to do this hazardous job. They suggest four pre-measures before starting the removal of the malefic background. These are given as under:

1. The eliminating organ must be in perfect condition for which Organopathic remedies are required.

2. During removal of background demineralization occurs which keeps the vital dynamis not potent enough to properly eliminate chronic diseases and their toxins.

3. The constitutional remedy for the chronic patient is essential for the purpose stimulating the vital dynamis so that the sick individual can  produce enough antibodies required for the process of desensitizing, immunization and canalization of the chronic diseases which are exist in nature.

4. The detoxification remedy should be potent enough to react and start the eliminating process. It should be selected on the basis of its characteristic symptoms, for ex. there are a number of tuberculin, carsinosins, sepsins, bowel nosodes and specific toxins of each virus, bacteria, chemical, vaccination etc.
