HOMOEOPATHIC SENSITISATION

HOMOEOPATHIC SENSITISATION. People who have treated for many years with large doses of allopathic drugs frequently do hot respond at all if given homoeopathic medicine, but if homoeopathic treatment is persevered with for some time normal reaction to homoeopathic remedies occurs, even in the most stubborn cases. Persistency is often rewarded only after months of endeavour.

THE fact that people get very distinctly sensitised by using homoeopathic medicines is apparently not sufficiently considered in homoeopathic literature and treatment. I have noticed this interesting and important fact in numerous cases. People who have treated for many years with large doses of allopathic drugs frequently do hot respond at all if given homoeopathic medicine, but if homoeopathic treatment is persevered with for some time normal reaction to homoeopathic remedies occurs, even in the most stubborn cases. Persistency is often rewarded only after months of endeavour. Furthermore, I have noticed that people who respond fairly well to low potencies get sensitised to homoeopathic remedies after some time and require higher potencies.

The optimum potency can easily be ascertained by giving patients the same remedy, let say ascertained by giving patients the same remedy, let us say Belladonna or Carbo vegetables or Nux vomica, Sulphur in various potencies, in dozes marked 1,2,3, etc., and they are asked to change every few days or every week from one box to the other and observe carefully which medicine suits them best. Some people are most benefited by a low potency, others by a high potency, others by a medium suits them best. Some people are most benefited by a low potency, others by a high potency, others by a medium potency.

This process has the advantage that patients carefully observe themselves and take an interest in their treatment instead of expecting their doctor to do all the thinking and observing. Hahnemann and other homoeopaths who have taken homoeopathic medicines frequently for experimental purposes became highly sensitised and herein probably lies the reasons that Hahnemann, Boenninghausen Kent, etc., were in favour of high and very high potencies, forgetting, or not knowing, that the average patient has not been sensitised in the way in which they were sensitised.
