Dynamic concept of health disease cure in relation to homoeopathy

1. DYNAMIC CONCEPT OF
HEALTH, DISEASE, CURE

2.  The source of health & disease – not material
but spiritual – immaterial life principle
 immaterial life principle – coordinated with
body and mind in human organisms
 Health & disease – not 2 different states, but
qualitative states.

3.  Life provides – body & mind – sensations &
functions
 Alteration of sensations & functions –
qualitative state of life principle (not material
plane)
 Any agent – some inherent quality to affect life
principle – MORBIFIC AGENT

4.  Morbific agent – concrete reality & quality is abstraction
 In universe, no quality exists so it embodies some
substance
 Comes in contact – organismal body – action & reaction
takes place b/w them
 With out interchange of material parts of substance
 DYNAMIC ACTION - Qualitative process of
interaction & intercommunication

5.  Biologically, this qualitative process –
INFECTION
 In this way, the natural morbific agent, drug
produced disease condition in an organism –
alter through a kind of infection

6.  Example: magnet – iron
 Not by interchange of molecules between them
 But transmitting some imperceptible energy & changing
the property of soft iron
 Similarly in the case of drug…..
 Qualitative interchange takes place b/w drug &
organism
 Organism – changed qualitatively pertaining to specific
quality of drug
Distinguishing dynamic action from
mechanical / chemico - physical action

7.  Same thing – disease – natural morbific agent
 So, disease is not a separate objective entity lying hidden
in the interior of the organism.
 It is changed qualitative state of organism
 Therefore, ntg can be added out/takem out of the disease
but only state of the health of the ndividual is to be
changed
 No materia peccans for diseases

8.  DYNAMIC PROCESS-
 Disease is produced qualitatively & cure is
effected qualitatively
 INFECTION:
 Drugs & natural morbific agent – through specific
qualitative power – produce alteration in state of health

9.  Altered sensations & functions – unchecked – changes
in structure of bodily organs, secretions & excretions –
both qualitatively & quantitatively
 Perceptible pathological changes – end products of
morbid vital process – Disease per se
 They are not due to exciting & maintaining causes of
disease

10.  Disease process – manifested primarily –
dynamic derangement of vital character.
 So, anything which affects the life-principle
must do so qualitatively
 Medicine – cures disease – same thing.

11.  LIFE: Invisible in itself & only cognisible – perceptible
sensations & functions
 DISEASE: altered life, known by perceptible sensations
& functions of org- exposed to senses of observer &
physician
 Pure empericism. Basis of medicine of experience
 SIMILAR BEGININGS MUST HAVE SIMILAR
ENDINGS

12.  DRUGS ARE ADMINISTERED TO NATURALLY
DISEASED PERSON
 Morbid vital process --- original normal vital process
 Pathological changes --- Physiological changes
 Structural/ functional states --- healthy state of
individual
 Healthy vital force keeps the organs, tissues, parts of
body in physiological state of working
HEALTH

13.  Morbid vital process---- original normal
vital process ---altered tissues ---- normal
tissues
To cure a sick individual

14.  Disease – not a thing separate from the living
whole, from the organism & its animating vital
process & hidden in the interior of the organism
 Diseases are ntg more then alterations in the
state of health of the healthy individual which
express themselves by morbid symptoms
conclusion

15.  Cure – only possible by a change to the healthy
condition of the state of health of the disesed
individual
 Medicines – could never cure diseases if they
did not possess the power of altering man’s sate
of health which depends on sensations &
functions.
