1. CHAPTER III
VITAL FORCE

2. • misapprehension about homeopathy among physicians as well
as among the laity
• taught his fundamental principles that he drew forth
antagonism
• conversant is the different forms of energy

3. • In the healthy condition of man the spirit like vital force, the
dynamis that animates the material body, rules with
unbounded sway and retains all the parts of the organism in
admirable harmonious vital operation as regards both
sensations and functions, so that our indwelling, reason-gifted
mind can freely employ this living, healthy instrument for the
higher purposes of our existence.

4. • This was the first introduction to the medical world of the
rational concept of life itself.
• life in three parts
• life is a unity from its inception
• No two individuals are alike
• law of growth is the same in one as in another

5. • The nature of energy is dynamic, and this dynamis penetrates
every particle, every cell, every atom of the human economy.

6. • Such a disturbance may come from prenatal influences,
• the effects of sudden fright;
• caused by indulgences on the part of either or both parents at
the time of conception;
• due to hereditary stigma of either one or both of the parent
cells,
• which may perhaps be due to hereditary diseases or miasms.

7. • Separate individual life has been established
• Mother and child
• Vital energy will direct the course with unerring precision.
• That brings us to the point of looking upon disease as a
dynamic expression of the disturbance of the harmony and
rhythm of the vital energy.

8. • Dr. Boger illustrates this by the picture of the runaway train
• Each individual does not show necessarily disturbances in all
of these spheres in manifesting diseased conditions
• Each is accentuated according to the tendencies of the vital
energy and the individual reaction to the dynamic
disturbance.

9. • disturbance of this vital energy immediately shows itself in
lack of harmony through the outward manifestations of our
beings; in other words, symptoms
• why the remedies are potentized

10. • the unhampered expression of the vital force and its influence
in disease and cure
• One of the easiest methods of dealing with sickness is to give
medicines or mechanical treatments which put a stop to the
symptom

11. • suppresses or distorts the manifestations of the diseased
state.

12. • This may be done in many ways.
• It may be done by sprays;
• it may be done by ointments;
• it may be done by irritative or narcotic treatment.

13. • The altered character or entire suppression of discharge;
• the suppression of eruptions;
• the palliation of pain by narcotics;
• the momentary invigoration by tonics; these are among our
problems.
• The injections in gonorrhea, for instance, may suppress the
discharge.

14. • , Suppression is the easiest and greatest of the errors that can
be practiced by any graduate in medicine.

15. • To what did Hahnemann attribute the harmonious functioning of the
human organism?
• What is the unit of human life?
• What do we mean by the trinity of the individual?
• Cite some conditions that may cause disturbance of the vital force
with consequent disturbed development of the whole economy.
• What is the outward reflection of the inward turmoil?

16. • Why do we look on disease as a dynamic expression rather than as a
local matter?
• Why do we speak of the dynamic force of remedies?
• What is sickness? (Answer: Disturbance of harmonious functions.)
• Why are remedies potentized?
• What is the effect of suppressive treatment in disease conditions?
