Aphorism 202 to 230

1. APHORISMS FROM
§ § (202 – 230 )

2. ORGANON
§ 202 – By removing the external symptom, the internal
malady is getting worsened.
 If old-school physician should now destroy local
symptom by topical application of external remedies,
 under belief cures whole disease,
 Nature makes up for its loss by rousing internal
malady & other symptoms
 that previously existed in a latent state side by side
with local affection;
 ie, she increases internal disease.
 When this occurs it is usual to say, though incorrectly
that local affection has been driven back into system
/upon nerves by external remedies.

3. ORGANON
§ 203 – most criminal procedures leads to unnamed
chronic diseases.”. About the use of local application
 Every external treatment of local symptoms,
object is to remove them from surface of body,
while internal miasmatic disease is left uncured,
as, driving off
- skin psoric eruption by all sorts of ointments,
- burning away chancre by caustics &
- destroying condylomata on their seat by knife/
ligature /actual cautery;
- pernicious external mode of treatment,
- most prolific source of all innumerable named
/unnamed chronic maladies - most criminal procedures
1( foot note :
1 medicines at same time given internally will have no
specific power of curing whole disease,

4. ORGANON
§ 204 -§ 209 – Case Taking of
Chronic diseases

5. ORGANON
§ 204 – 1o vicarious local symptom of psora is
Scabious eruption.
Fn – It Causes Metaschematism(refer intro)
 chronic affections, a persistent unhealthy mode of
living, (§ 77)
 innumerable medicinal maladies (v. § 74) - by the
irrational , pernicious treatment of diseases
 chronic diseases result from development of three
chronic miasms,
- internal syphilis,
- internal sycosis,
- internal psora,
 primary, vicarious local symptom of each of them
- psora - scabious eruption,
- Syphilis - chancre or the bubo,
- Sycosis - condylomata

6. ORGANON
 if deprived of their local symptom → mighty
Nature sooner → burst forth → ends up in
nameless misery → plagued mankind for hundreds
and thousands of years,
 none so frequently have come into existence →
physicians cure radically & to extinguish three
miasms by the internal homoeopathic medicines
not by topical remedies
(See fn to § 282). – pg 253
 General rule to start ch.dis by smallest dose – here
they require large dose of specific med + O
(possibly several times daily)
 Experience teaches , itch + extn manifest &chancre
+ inner veneral miasm = specific med internally
 Figwarts = extn app + internal use of specific med
must to be given

7. ORGANON
§ 205 –Treat the miasmatic dise. by internal
remedies only & never remove their external
manifestation by external appl. Reference of the
book chronic diseases is made
 homoeopathic physician never treats one primary
symptoms of chronic miasms,
 nor one of their secondary affections that result
from their further development, by local remedies
(neither by those external agents that act
dynamically,

8. ORGANON
( foot note :
 cancer of the lips and face (psora + syphilis) =
arsenical remedy of Frere Cosme = succeed in
freeing the affected part
 vital force is necessitated to transfer the field of
operation of the great internal malady to some more
important part (as it does in every case of metastasis),
and
 the consequence is blindness, deafness, insanity,
suffocative , asthma, dropsy, apoplexy, etc.
 vital force is still very energetic - internal cure is
practicable.
 when removed by the knife - at any rate death is
hastened & is same disastrous results.
 in cases where the one or the other appears,

9. ORGANON
 only the great miasm on which they depend, whereupon
its primary, & secondary symptoms disappear
spontaneously;
 but as this was not the mode pursued by the old-school
practitioners
 the homoeopathic physician generally, alas!, finds that the
primary symptoms
2( foot note :
 Itch eruption, chancre (bubo), condylomata.been
destroyed by them by means of external remedies,
 has now the secondary ones, i.e., the affections
resulting from the breaking forth and development of
these inherent miasms,
 but especially with the chronic disease evolved
from internal psora
 I have endeavored to point out in my work on
Chronic Diseases, must refer

10. ORGANON
§ 206 – Careful CT of chronic diseases especially
regarding past illness(had any venereal infect.) Psora is
the fundamental cause of all Chronic dis. It can
complicate with syphilis
Fn – Factors that arose latent psora.
 Before commencing the treatment of a chronic
disease,
 it is necessary to make the most careful investigation
fn1
 patient has had a venereal infection (or an infection
with condylomatous gonorrhoea) - signs of syphilis
 complicated with the internal itch dyscrasia ( psora)
 psora is the sole fundamental cause of all other
chronic maladies,
 bungled, increased and disfigured to a monstrous
extent by allopathic unskillfulness.

11. ORGANON
 1 ( foot note :
 If a cold caught (a thorough wetting, drinking cold
water after being heated) many years ago,
- or a former fright,
- a sprain,
- a vexation etc.
 These causes are much too insignificant to develop a to
keep it up for years, and to aggravate it year by year,
 as is the case with all chronic diseases from developed
psora.
 Remember noxious influences must lie at the root
- of the initiation
- progress of a serious,
- obstinate disease of long standing;
 the assigned causes could only rouse into activity the
latent chronic miasm.

12. ORGANON
§ 207 – Importance of Treatment History
 When the above information has been gained, it
still remains for homoeopathic physician to
 ascertain what kinds of allopathic treatment been
adopted for the chronic disease,
 what perturbing medicines had been chiefly and
most frequently employed,
 also mineral baths been used & what effects had
produced,
 in order to understand degeneration of disease
from its original state,
 and possible, to correct in part these pernicious
artificial operations,
 enable him avoid the employment of medicines that
have already been improperly used.

13. ORGANON
§ 208 – Find the maintaining cause of Ch.Dis
-The age of the patient,
-his mode of living & diet,
-his occupation,
-his domestic position,
- his social relation & so forth,
must next be taken into consideration,
to ascertain whether these things have tended to increase
his malady/ in how far they may favor or hinder the
treatment.
the state of his disposition & mind must be attended to,
to learn , presents any obstacles to the treatment,
or requires to be directed encouraged or modified.

14. ORGANON
§ 209 – Look for the most Characteristic Symptoms/elicit
the portrait of Ch.Dis.
 After this is done,
 the physician should -- repeated conversations with the
patient to trace the picture of his disease
 to elucidate the most striking and peculiar
(characteristic) symptoms,
 in accordance with which he selects the first antipsoric /
other remedy having the greatest symptomatic
resemblance,
 for the commencement of the treatment, and so forth.

15. ORGANON
§§ 210-230 – MENTAL
DISEASES

16. ORGANON
§ 210
 Of psoric origin of one-sided, the single, great,
prominent symptom. are termed mental diseases.
 In corporeal diseases , the condition of the disposition
and mind is always altered
 cure-- the patient’s disposition + totality of the =
accurate picture → treat it homoeopathically with success.
 foot note :Every diseases produce some changes in the
state of mind
 mild, soft .disposition – how often we meet them

17. ORGANON
 witnesses - ( ingratitude, cruelty, refined malice and
propensities most disgraceful and degrading to
humanity,) – because of it
 (often become obstinate, violent, hasty, or even
intolerant and capricious, or impatient or disponding )-
effect/ found in clinic the qualities possessed by the
patient before he grew ill;
 Comparison :
 chaste and modest become lascivious and shameless.
 A clear-headed person becomes obtuse of intellect,
 weak-minded becomes more prudent and thoughtful
 man slow to make up his mind sometimes acquires great
presence of mind and quickness of resolve, etc.

18. ORGANON
§ 211- state of disposition,characteristic symptom –
selection of remedy
 The state of the disposition of the patient determines the
selection of the homoeopathic remedy, as being a
characteristic symptom which can remain concealed
from the accurately observing physician.
§ 212- medicine also produce the similar state of
disposition of the mind (like the natural diseases)
 The Creator of therapeutic agents has regard to, the
altered state of the disposition and mind, for there is no
powerful medicinal substance in the world which does
that in the healthy individual who tests it, and every
medicine does so in a different manner.

19. ORGANON
§ 213 – in order to get Cure, medicine must also be also
be selection of hom. Remedy by the change in state of
disposition
 along with the other symptoms, those relating to the
changes in the state of the mind and disposition,
 medicines disease-force must also producing a similar
state of the disposition and mind.1( foot note :
 1 Thus aconite will seldom or never effect a rapid or
permanent cure in a patient of a quiet, calm, equable
disposition;
 nux vomica be serviceable where the disposition is mild
and phlegmatic,
 pulsatilla where it is happy, gay and obstinate, or
 ignatia where it is imperturbable and disposed neither to
be frightened nor vexed.

20. ORGANON
§ 214 – mental diseases must also be cured like other dis.
By symptom similarity
 a power of producing a morbid state as similar as
possible to the case of disease before us, and in no other
way can they be cured.
§ 215 – MD Due to Corporeal condn
 Almost mental and emotional diseases are nothing
 corporeal diseases in which the symptom of derangement
of the mind and disposition is increased, while the
corporeal symptoms decline (more or less rapidly), till it
attains the most striking one-sidedness, almost as though it
were a local disease ( in the invisible subtle organ of the
mind or disposition.)

21. ORGANON
§ 216
 corporeal disease that threatens to be fatal – a suppuration
of the lungs
 e.g., in childbed, etc. – becomes insane, (a kind of
melancholia or into mania) by a rapid increase of the
psychical symptoms
 transformed into a one-sided , mental disturbance, as
become the chief symptom,
 (corporeal) symptoms, whose intensity it subdues in a
palliative manner,
 almost spiritual, mental and emotional organs, which the
anatomist has never yet and never will reach with his
scalpel.

22. ORGANON
§ 217 - treatment
 In these diseases we must acquaint
 corporeal symptoms, the chief symptom, predominating
state of the mind and disposition, , for the purpose of
extinguishing the entire disease,
 among the remedies whose pure effects are known, a
homoeopathic medicinal pathogenetic force –, with the
greatest possible similarity, not only the corporeal
morbid symptoms , but also mental and emotional
state.
§ 218 – TOS = Previous C + Present M
 To this collection of symptoms , corporeal disease,
before it is degenerated into a one-sided increase of
psychical symptoms . This may be learned from the
report of the patient’s friends.

23. ORGANON
§ 219 – compare the previous C + present less perceptible C
 A comparison of these previous symptoms of the corporeal
disease, though they have become less perceptible (when a
lucid interval and a transient alleviation of the psychical
disease occurs), will serve to prove them to be still present,
though obscured.
§ 220
 state of the mind and disposition observed by the patient’s
friends and by the physician himself, we have thus
constructed the complete picture of the disease,
 medicine capable of producing strikingly similar
symptoms,
 antipsoric remedies, if the physical disease have already
lasted some time.

24. ORGANON
§ 221 (C dis. Due to acute origin)
 If, however, insanity or mania (caused by fright,
vexation, the abuse of spirituous liquors, etc.) have
suddenly broken out as an acute disease in the
 arises from internal psora, like a flame bursting forth from
it, yet when it occurs in this acute manner it should not be
immediately treated with antipsoric, but in the first place
with remedies indicated for it out of the order class of
proved medicaments (e.g., aconite, belladonna,
stramonium, hyoscyamus, mercury, etc.) in highly
potentized, minute, homoeopathic doses, in order to
subdue it so far that the psora shall
 for the time revert to its former latent state, wherein the
patient appears as if quite well.

25. ORGANON
§ 222
 But such a patient, who has recovered from an acute
mental or emotional disease by the use of these non-
antipsoric medicines, should never be regarded as cured;
on the contrary, no time should be lost in attempting to free
him completely,1( foot note :
 1 the insane persons who seek for admission into such
institutions could scarcely find room in them unless some
of the insane in the house died.
 Homoeopathy, able to restore and so give them back again
to their delighted friends and to the world!
 by means of a prolonged antipsoric treatment + the diet
and regimen prescribed for him.

26. ORGANON
§ 223 -- antipsoric treatment be omitted
 But if the antipsoric treatment be omitted,
 periodic or continued mental derangement, which is
then more difficult to be cured by antipsorics.
.

27. ORGANON
§ 224 – M dis due to doubtful origin
 If the mental disease corporeal affection, or results from
faults of education, bad practices, corrupt morals,
neglect of the mind, superstition or ignorance;
 the mode of deciding this ,it will diminish and be
improved by sensible friendly exhortations, consolatory
arguments, serious representations and sensible advice,
 whereas a real moral or mental malady, on bodily disease,
would be speedily aggravated.
 -the melancholic would be more dejected, querulous,
inconsolable and reserved,
 - the spiteful maniac would be more exasperated,
 -the chattering fool would be more foolish .

28. ORGANON
§ 225 – MD due to prolonged emotional causes
 Certainly a few emotional diseases which not merely been
developed into corporeal diseases, but the body being but
slightly indisposed, and kept as emotional causes, such as
continued anxiety, worry, vexation, wrongs and the
frequent occurrence of great fear and fright.
 This kind of emotional diseases in time destroys the
corporeal health, often to a great degree.
§ 226 – treatment
 Such emotional diseases as these, before they have made
very great inroads on the corporeal state,
 By means of psychical remedies, such as a display of
confidence, friendly exhortations, sensible advice, and
often by a well-disguised deception,

29. ORGANON
§ 227 –antipsoric medicines must be given
 But the fundamental cause in these cases also is a psoric
miasm,
 which was only not yet quite near its full development,
 and for security’s sake, patient should be subjected to a
radical, antipsoric treatment, in order that he may not, fall
into a similar state of mental disease.

30. ORGANON
§ 228 – Auxillary mental regimen
 In mental and emotional diseases resulting from corporeal
maladies, which can only be cured by homoeopathic
antipsoric medicine conjoined with carefully regulated
mode of life,
 an appropriate psychical behavior by way of an
auxiliary mental regimen.
 To furious mania we must oppose calm intrepidity
 cool, firm resolution – to doleful, querulous lamentation,
 a mute display of commiseration in looks and gestures –
to senseless chattering
 a silence not wholly inattentive – to disgusting and
abominable conduct and to conversation of a similar
character, total inattention.

31. ORGANON
 We must merely endeavor to prevent the destruction and
injury of surrounding objects, without reproaching the
patient for his acts,
 and everything must be arranged in such a way that the
necessity for any corporeal punishments and tortures1
(foot note :
 1 the hard-heartedness, torturing with the most violent
blows and other painful torments.
 This is so much the more easily effected, because in the
administration of the medicine – the only circumstance in
which the employment of coercion could be justified
 – in the homoeopathic system the small doses of the
appropriate medicine never offend the taste,
 the patient without his knowledge in his drink, so that
all compulsion is unnecessary.

32. ORGANON
§ 229
 On the other hand, contradiction, eager explanations, rude
corrections and invectives, as also weak, timorous
yielding - pernicious modes of treating mental and
emotional maladies.
 The physician and keeper must always pretend to believe
them to be possessed of reason.
 All kinds of external disturbing influences on their senses
and disposition should be if possible removed;
 there are no amusements , no salutary distractions, no means
of instruction, no soothing effects but the care -
tranquillity.( 1 Foot-note in Sixth Edition only.
 The treatment of the violent insane manic and
melancholic only in an institution specially arranged for
their treatment - not within the family circle of the patient.

33. ORGANON
§ 230
 If the antipsoric remedies selected based on faithfully
traced picture
 principal symptom of such a patient, is so unmistakably
perceptible, –
 then the improvement in no very long time,
 NO need of repeated doses of all other unsuitable
(allopathic) medicines.
 Indeed, I can confidently assert, from great experience,
that the homoeopathic system from the other
conceivable methods of the treatment is more triumphant
for the mental and emotional diseases of long standing,
which originally sprang from corporeal maladies
