Homeopathy


WHAT HOMEOPATHY IS
Homeopathy is a therapy born from the efficiency, before prejudices and criticism, without efficiency it would not have been followed up and it would not have been held in high esteem. If Hannemann, German doctor who discovered homeopathy, did not reach any therapeutic success, he would not have created any answer, but before he reached those successes, he obtained tangible results through the application of a scientific method, that is for instance the “double blind” proving trial. Only after those results the doctrine and philosophy of similars spread itself, it is true that the previous medical philosophical schools saw the same philosophy coming, since they attributed to the human soul the perturbations which tormented the sick person, tracing back the treatment to an individualist and peculiar condition of the disease itself, and the only way to do so was to focus on the philosophy “of the whole”, which means that the individual had to be rediscovered in its uniqueness-totality. So, the disease does not involve any organ or apparatus due to the damage or the contamination, but a process of altered reactivity to external stimuli mediated by the interpretation of the individual and of his background. There are hundreds of thousands of scientific studies proving the efficiency of homeopathic dilutions in the proving trials, and they do not have to be discussed here, there are known physicists, chemists and biologists who proved their efficiency, but their works are not published on official magazines, since also editorial pressures work in favour of an opposed politics, and making holism official means destabilizing the citizen and the consumption by those people addicted to medicines. The homeopathic dilution is at the core of the controversy. It is just like asking a deaf person to describe music, they talk about medicine but homeopathy goes hand in hand with quantum physics. However the law on patents allows to patent “a substance whose chemical structure is still unknown but its effects are known...” for homeopathy, since they are interactions modifying the water molecule, which is the most important conveyor and container of information other than the basis of life, the exact dynamic is unknown in its intimate details. So, the problem has an epistemological origin, in other words science shows a lack which it prefers to deny, when certain answers are not available, in order not to go into fideism, science is diametrically opposed to that. Hannemann proposed the soluble mercury to treat syphilis, he tried to make mercury less toxic by adding water, he wanted to find a curative way through the scientific method by lowering the toxicity of the medicine itself, just like the cancer specialist chooses to adjust chemotherapy according to the patient conditions, but since he is in danger of being controlled he is forced to apply the protocol saving him from the legal consequences but he kills himself and the patient with a very strong poison. The big mistake by Hanneman, if we can say so, was that he opted for the mathematical choice of the dilution criteria. If instead of 1 : 100, which is the CH or centesimal hahnemannian, he chose the halving criteria, that is 1:2, no one would have noticed the presence of the chemical in the dilutions. You will observe then how any metric reference is part of history and of a culture of fairness. From the atomic halving, to the D.L. 50, to the equation, our mathematical, geometric, chemical philosophy is about half the dose, half means dividing endlessly but never disappearing, it is a thin concept but it reinforces those certainties which the human being renews on a regular basis, in order not to disconnect from reality. He would have overcome the Avogadro number without any discussions, everyone would have been sure that even if it was halved there was something inside it. Dilutions for sure would have changed just like succussions, but the problem of the absence of material would have been solved silently. At the end of his brilliant career Hannemann, having obtained many certainties and successes, tries the LM, that is the 50 centesimal, and you will see how in a different but similar way, the mathematic term fifty appears, which is half of a hundred. Anyone who approaches homeopathy and holistic philosophy feels like he belongs to it, because it proposes the most individualized treatment possible. Every individual, like any decayed king, would like to have his merits recognized, conquests, sentences, canticles and loves. Nowadays in the post-modern era, the return to holism is a socio-anthropological need after the totalitarianisms of the xx° century killed 4% of the world population, after the illusion of communism “made us equal just as consumers”, like Eco states, and after that the mass standardization, the stereotypy and the “vegetative collectivism” made the human being equally unsatisfied depriving him of any characteristic of authenticity. The rediscovery of biodiversity and subcultures, as identities essential for the renewal, are looking for the best representations to describe the uniqueness of each and every individual who is not alone under a spacial point of view any more and he is also looking for a redemption showing the peculiar richness within his uniqueness. Everyone of us is a champion in some discipline, maybe only at a provincial level, but if we live in a simple way it is enough for us, but we would like someone to tell us we are champions, after the fact that mass phenomenon oppressed him and after that media phenomena forced him to be a mere spectator even more and in an unidirectional way. Customizing diets, training, injury policy, consumption rate, runs on the same track that the treatment path traced centuries before, since it is linked to the individual in a more intimate way. Holism comes into contact with all true man looking for the truth. The person absolutism as an intrinsic value, shows even more how rediscovering oneself, far away from individualism and egocentrism, becomes a way of re-evaluating the human being as such, with proactive implications of ethic and philosophy. Just like any cell, even if it is part of an organism, is affected by the impulses generated by the receptor cells, each and every individual, even if he is part of a community, needs the right impulse adapting to him in a specific way only through locating the nature of the similar stimulus. If phenomenon linked to the use of low-dose medicines are not entirely clear, according to a mechanistic method, it does not mean that they are inefficient or that they do not have to be prescribed, at all. After all even most of the common medicines are absolutely unknown, the well-known mechanism of action is unknown as far as the 80% of the active principles is concerned, and if we presume to know the pharmacological process, we find out, like it is happening now, that according to the criteria chosen for the explanation, they prove to be absolutely incongruous. All of this, according to scientific epistemological criteria, leads to mystification, which means that we attribute effects or successes to phenomena that happen in a completely different way. Socrates' admission of his own ignorance, but the use of remedies when there are no side effects, pushes to search for a definite explanation, while the use of substances having serious side effects, other than showing that they are unsuccessful, makes us wonder about why it is toxic and also about the efficiency mystified by an incongruous and paradoxical explanation. Excluding the common way of thinking is not the right way of facing the open and mysterious dialogue on the effects of the world outside and inside our controversial self. The other part of Hannemann's brilliant expressiveness is shown by the definitions of diathesis. Diathesis, in other words the predisposition of the body to a disease, is an anthropological observation classifying and describing human types into categories based on the picture of external expressions of mind and body, in the form of symptoms presenting as a portrait of disease and on the reaction to the remedy. He classifies human beings into three types of diathesis: psoric, sycotic, luetic individuals. The classification is done on the basis of clinical signs he considered noteworthy, and those are the inheritance of multiple infections in the history of a patient, caused by microbes which left a morphofunctional mark on the susceptible subjects: psoric individuals with scab, sycotic individuals with gonorrhea and luetic individuals with syphilis. This allows the practitioner to make sense of the history of the patient and which specific symptoms or tendencies must be treated. These descriptions are still used today, since they allow us to recognize such prerogatives and the possible integrations, both at a subjective level and of a social nature. Psora corresponds to childhood-adolescence, in which manifestations are still at an elementary or superficial stage, pure emotions prevail, fear, anxiety, anxiousness, sensibility, superficial forms and fast symptoms and fast recovery. Then we have sycose that is the maturity stage with the tendency to rationalize energies, reaching goals and the tendency for absolutisms to prevail, on the physical side we see a sclerosis of structures, hypertrophies of what has not been overcome in a psoric way, a chronicization, fixity of ideas and of the thought somatizing in the organs, in a positive and negative sense, on the one hand there is evaluation on an individual level, on the other hand there is the loss of flexibility, less adaptability. In conclusion there is the lue, that is destruction, the leutic individual has a strong self-destructive behaviour, the ulceration phase comes after the long healing phase taking place during the sycotic stage, and makes it vain, the loss of matter comes along with the symptoms, there is low vital energy or it is headed towards the wrong direction, there is chaos in the mind just like there is chaos in the healing processes, the attempts to reconstruct the tissues are neutralized by the self-destructive behaviour, by the breakdown, by the will of a painful death, the communication is lost and the delirious stage and insanity starts, it is the old age. These stages are pivotal in order to direct the study of sensible remedies but for those who are not experts, it is the most elementary way to distinguish the therapeutic responses, that is the responses to a medicine, on the basis of the vital energy of the sick person, into three following responses:
PSORIC INDIVIDUALS-----------react to the majority of medicines, both chemical and physical, due to their hypersensitivity they are subjected to side effects and they are forced then to reduce the use of medicines. Side effects manifest themselves mainly on the skin, which is their organ of contact and communication, through rashes, itching, eczemas, acne, alopecia, psoriasis, dermatitis etc. Placebo effect is perceived by these individuals to be more effective.

SYCOTIC INDIVIDUALS-----------------due to the decrease of vital energy, they tend not to solve the conflict causing the disease so they tend to make it become chronicle, tissues become atrophic and tough, warts, cutaneous tumours, sclerosis, hardening, fixations, they coexist with the disease, it becomes a form of social acceptance and of justification. THEY ARE THE BIGGEST CONSUMERS OF MEDICINES, the low vital energy makes them draw from the medicine that drive they need in order to react, since they cannot react any more, they lost their Darwinian drive for survival and reproductive success, they go towards extinction, they do not look for other solutions since they do not want to recover, the chemical medicine with its part of pain, justifies this indolence to change they have, they live for the medicine and with the medicine, they accept and tolerate cycles of chemotherapy, they expiate this nature in “pharmacological masochism”, recovery scares them since it is something new, they can even live long in their pain, death comes slowly, they can survive during long hospital days and burn out like candles, their addiction to the medicine decreases the toxicity of it, which from absolute turns into relative, absence of side effects.
LUETIC INDIVIDUALS--------------luetic people are those who embarked on the wrong track, they use high vital energy the wrong way, they are psoric decompensated individuals heading towards insanity or self-destructive behaviours, in the movements, in the behaviours, they show signs of morpho-functional imbalance, out of reality, dreamers or self-destructive people, alcohol addicted people, drug-addicted people, criminals, they have low consideration of reality, they are apparently calm, but they run a risk in everything they do, in the social dynamics, relationships, job, the component of imbalance is always there. They get sick from forms destructing the organic matter, ulceration, incurable diseases, terminal cancer stages, even if these individuals look healthy from the outside, inside they are exhausted, devastated by unsolved tragedies, they go from one problem to the next without solving any of them, it is called “schizophrenic constellation”, they promise and never stand by what they said, they are in a mental chaos, they do not have points of reference and of resolution, they are excessively altruistic or pathologically selfish people, they are childish, artists whose body is worn-out by alcohol, they have disharmonious bodies, they get sick and die prematurely from deadly incurable diseases like their drama which stays mysterious, like a childish play with hyperbolic rules, ANSENCE OF PHARMACOLOGICAL EFFECTS: NOCEBO EFFECT, their conviction makes medicines ineffective, at most those related to their path work, such as drugs, side effect which kills them: luetic. There are mixed forms where one diathesis prevails, what we are interested in and what allows a striking explanation that only homeopathy holds, is this vision of innate prerogatives which makes the endless human features and the disease features full of interpretations.
