The document discusses the concept of susceptibility in homeopathy. It provides definitions from homeopathic scholars on susceptibility as the body's ability to receive impressions and react to stimuli. Susceptibility plays a role in health and disease and determines how the body will respond to remedies. There are different types of susceptibility including natural, morbid, and artificial susceptibility induced by medicines. Factors like constitution, age, habits modify one's susceptibility. Homeopathy aims to restore normal susceptibility through similar remedies to cure diseases.

Concept of homoeopathic materia medicasarojsawant2
Materia Medica is a Latin medical term
for the body of collected knowledge
about the therapeutic properties of
any substance(drug) used for healing with their sources, preparations, doses and use.
homeopathy is one of effective system of medicine founded by Dr.Samuel Hahnemann.
It is based on the principle Like cures Like.
My ppt is about the homeopathic law of cure given in §25- §29 and how a homeopathic medicine works. :)
Classification of diseases by hahnemannN J V S Pavan

this presentation may fit the requirement of every homeopath.
Hahnemann proposed the law of homeopathy in 1796: “Like Cures Like,” or in Latin, “Similia Similibus Curantur.” Homoeopathy is based on inductive method of reasoning.
The power point presentation discusses here the drug picture of Pulsatilla Nigricans with emphasis on its mental generals. Pulsatilla has been compared with Chamomilla, Bryonia, Kali sulph, Cyclamen and Natrum mur with regards to its mental and physical generals.The respective source has been provided alongside the symptoms to enhance its authenticity.

Martha Stark MD – 13 Apr 2023 – The Therapeutic Use of Optimal Stress to Prov...Martha Stark MD
The therapeutic provision of “optimal stress” – against the backdrop of an empathically attuned and authentically engaged therapy relationship – is sometimes the magic ingredient needed to overcome the inherent resistance to change so frequently encountered in patients with longstanding emotional injuries. Ongoing challenge will destabilize and support will then prompt restabilization at ever-higher levels of resilience and adaptive capacity.
Growing up (the task of the child) and getting better (the task of the patient) are therefore a story about transforming need into capacity – the need for immediate gratification into the capacity to tolerate delay, the need for perfection into the capacity to tolerate imperfection, the need for external regulation of the self into the capacity to be internally self-regulating, and the need to hold on into the capacity to let go.
Martha Stark MD – 26 - 27 Apr 2019 – My Psychodynamic Synergy Paradigm – A C....Martha Stark MD
Dr. Martha Stark has developed a comprehensive theory of therapeutic action that integrates the interpretive perspective of classical psychoanalysis (which speaks to the power of insight); the corrective-provision perspective of self psychology and other deficit theories (which speaks to the importance of corrective experience as compensation for early-on deficiencies); and the contemporary relational perspective (which speaks to mutual enactment and negotiation by both patient and therapist of the entanglements that will inevitably emerge at the intimate edge of their authentic engagement).
Her focus throughout the seminar will be on the interface between theory and practice; and Dr. Stark will demonstrate, by way of numerous clinical vignettes and prototypical interventions, the ways in which the three modes of therapeutic action (knowledge, experience, and relationship) can be used to accelerate the healing process.
review of basic constructs: knowledge, experience, relationship as curative factors; “supporting” by being with the patient where she is vs. “challenging” by directing her attention to elsewhere; the therapeutic process as involving recursive cycles of defensive collapse and adaptive reconstitution at ever higher levels of integration and balance.
the process of transforming defense into adaptation; the importance of awareness (wisdom), acceptance, and accountability; therapist as neutral object, empathic selfobject, authentic subject; prototypical interventions specifically designed to facilitate the grieving process and to accelerate the healing.
working through the negative transference and disruptions to the positive transference; transforming infantile need into mature adult capacity; focusing on the contributions of both patient and therapist to the relational dynamics at their intimate edge; use of instructor’s process recordings to demonstrate the role of knowledge, experience, and relationship in strengthening the ego, consolidating the self, and resolving relational difficulties.
Martha Stark MD – 22 Feb 2023 – A Handy Reference Guide for all Therapists.pptxMartha Stark MD
Although you believe that you are offering your clients plenty of support, do you sometimes worry that you might not be offering them quite enough challenge?
My workshop will teach you to "construct" a number of "growth-incentivizing interventions" specifically designed to "catalyze" deep and enduring psychodynamic change in your clients – by facilitating their advancement, whatever their diagnosis, from “less healthy” rigidity (defense) to “more healthy” flexibility (adaptation). These interventions can be strategically formulated to offer just the right balance between anxiety-provoking challenge and anxiety-relieving support.
I will be providing you with a set of "therapeutic tools" – both "minimally stressful" and "optimally stressful" interventions – that you will be able to call upon during universally relevant, pivotal “clinical moments” with your clients.
These interventions will “incentivize” your client to (1) confront anxiety-provoking truths about her “self,” (2) grieve anxiety-provoking truths about the “objects of her desire,” (3) take ownership of anxiety-provoking truths about her “relational self,” and (4) expose anxiety-provoking truths about her “private self.”

Martha Stark MD – 16 Jun 2017 – The Transformative Power of Optimal Stress.pptxMartha Stark MD
Psychodynamic psychotherapy affords the patient an opportunity – albeit a belated one – to master experiences that had once been overwhelming, and therefore defended against, but that can now, with enough support from the therapist and by tapping into the patient's underlying resilience and capacity to cope with stress, be processed, integrated, and ultimately adapted to. This opportunity for belated mastery of traumatic experiences and transformation of defense into adaptation speaks to the power of the transference, whereby the here-and-now is imbued with the primal significance of the there-and-then.
Ultimately, the therapeutic goal is to transform less-evolved defense into more-evolved adaptation – from externalizing blame to taking ownership, from whining and complaining to becoming proactive, from dissociating to becoming more present, from feeling victimized to becoming empowered, from being jammed up to harnessing one's energies and then channeling them into the pursuit of one's dreams, from denial to confronting head-on, from being critical to becoming more compassionate, and from cursing the darkness to lighting a candle.
Growing up (the task of the child) and getting better (the task of the patient) are therefore a story about transforming need into capacity – the need for immediate gratification into the capacity to tolerate delay, the need for perfection into the capacity to tolerate imperfection, the need for external regulation of the self into the capacity to be internally self-regulating, and the need to hold on into the capacity to let go.
In sum, it could be said that, as a result of intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy, "resistance" will be replaced by "awareness" and "actualization of potential," "relentless pursuit of the unattainable" replaced by "acceptance," "re-enactment of unresolved childhood dramas" replaced by "accountability," "retreat and resignation" replaced by "accessibility," and “relentless despair” replaced by “awakened hope.”
The focus throughout will be on the interface between theory and clinical practice.

Martha Stark MD – 23 Mar 2019 – Contemporary Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.pptxMartha Stark MD
Dr. Martha Stark has developed a comprehensive theory of therapeutic action that integrates the interpretive perspective of classical psychoanalysis (which knowledge); the deficiency-compensation perspective of self psychology and other deficit theories (experience); and the intersubjective perspective of contemporary relational theory (engagement in authentic relationship “with”). Martha’s focus throughout the course will be on the ways in which theory informs practice; and she will demonstrate – by way of various “prototypical interventions” (specifically designed to highlight the client’s ambivalent attachment to her suffering), process recordings, clinical vignettes, and selected readings – the ways in which the three modes of therapeutic action (awareness, acceptance, and accountability) can be used to facilitate the healing process and to promote transformation of defense into adaptation – need into capacity.
Martha’s particular interest is in the client’s “relentless pursuit of the (bad) object.” The client’s relentless hope (which fuels her masochism) is a stance to which she desperately clings in order not to have to feel the pain of her disappointment in the object, the hope ultimately a defense against grieving; the client’s relentless outrage (which fuels her sadism) is the stance to which she resorts in those moments of dawning recognition that, despite her best efforts, the object of her intense desire might well never be forthcoming after all; and the client’s relentless despair is the stance to which she retreats when attachment itself has become intolerable and the only viable option appears to be detachment / withdrawal. The masochistic defense of relentless hope, the sadistic defense of relentless outrage, and the schizoid defense of relentless despair all speak to the client’s refusal to confront – and mourn – the limitations, separateness, and immutability of the object.
Martha will demonstrate the application of her three modes of therapeutic action to catalyze transformation of the relentless client’s “defensive” need to possess and control the object (and, when thwarted, her need to retaliate by attempting to destroy it) into the “adaptive” capacity to relent, accept, grieve, forgive, internalize, separate, and move on – richer and wiser, even if sadder, for having had and then lost.
Participants will be encouraged to present some of their own case material – all with an eye to demonstrating how the psychodynamic psychotherapist, by offering interventions that provide just the right balance of challenge and support, can offer the client an opportunity, even though often long after the fact, to manage experience that had once been overwhelming (and therefore defended against) but that can now be processed, integrated, and adapted to. Psychotherapy is, after all, a story about the belated processing of unmastered experience and the grieving of early-on heartbreak.
Martha Stark MD – May 2022 – Modes of Therapeutic Action – Enhancement of Kno...Martha Stark MD
A comprehensive theory of therapeutic action will be presented that integrates (1) the interpretive perspective of classical psychoanalysis (enhancement of knowledge “within”); (2) the deficiency-compensation perspective of self psychology and other deficit theories (provision of corrective experience “for”); and (3) the intersubjective perspective of contemporary relational theory (engagement in authentic relationship “with”). The focus will be on transformation of defense (resistance, relentlessness, re-enactment) into adaptation (awareness, acceptance, and accountability) in each of these three modes of therapeutic action. Particular attention will be paid to the therapist’s ability to remain ever attuned to the level of the patient’s anxiety – “challenging when possible” and “supporting when necessary” – in order to catalyze the induction of healing cycles of disruption and repair and, ultimately, transformation of defense into adaptation and need into capacity.

With treatment centers and programs like the Watershed, offered all over the United States, there is help out there and we do recover.
Martha Stark MD – 20 Mar 2020 – Holistic Psychotherapy – Knowledge, Experienc...Martha Stark MD
Superimposing an acute physical injury on top of a chronic one is sometimes exactly what the body needs in order to heal.
But just as with the body, where a condition might not heal until it is made acute, so too with the mind. The therapeutic provision of “optimal stress” – against the backdrop of empathic attunement and authentic engagement – can be the magic ingredient needed to overcome the inherent resistance to change so frequently encountered in patients with longstanding emotional injuries.
Too much challenge (traumatic stress) will overwhelm. Too little challenge (minimal stress) will reinforce the dysfunctional status quo. But just the right combination of challenge and support (optimal stress) will galvanize the patient to action and provoke healing.
With our finger ever on the pulse of the patient’s level of anxiety and capacity to tolerate further challenge, we can formulate “incentivizing statements” strategically designed “to precipitate disruption in order to trigger repair.” Ongoing use of these optimally stressful interventions will induce healing cycles of defensive destabilization followed by adaptive restabilization at ever-higher levels of integration, dynamic balance, and functional capacity.
Behind this “no pain, no gain” approach is a firm belief in the underlying resilience patients will inevitably discover within themselves once forced to tap into their inborn ability to self-correct in the face of environmental challenge – an innate capacity that will enable them to advance, over time, from less-evolved defensive reaction to more-evolved adaptive response.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. WHAT DICTIONARY SAYS:-
1. STATE OR CHARACTER OF BEING SUSCEPTIBLE: SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISEASE.
2. CAPACITY FOR RECEIVING MENTAL OR MORAL IMPRESSIONS; TENDENCY TO
BE EMOTIONALLY AFFECTED.
3. SUSCEPTIBILITIES, CAPACITIES FOR EMOTION; FEELINGS: HIS SUSCEPTIBILITIES
ARE EASILY WOUNDED.
3. WHAT STALWARTS SAID:
• SUSCEPTIBILITY IS THE GENERAL QUALITY OR CAPABILITY OF THE LIVING ORGANISM TO RECEIVE
IMPRESSIONS AND THE POWER TO REACT TO STIMULI - BY S. CLOSE
• SUSCEPTIBILITY HAS ALSO BEEN DEFINED AS AN EXPRESSION OF VACUUM IN THE INDIVIDUAL,
WHICH VACUUM ATTRACTS AND PULLS FOR THE THINGS MOST NEEDED THAT ARE IN THE SAME
PLANE OF VIBRATION AS THE WANT OF THE BODY. PRIMARILY SUSCEPTIBILITY IS THE REACTION OF
THE BODY TO EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL INFLUENCES - BY H.A. ROBERTS.
• THE APHORISM § 30,31,32,33 BEAR A LIKELY EXPLANATION FOR THE CONCEPT OF SUSCEPTIBILITY
WITH REGARD TO ARTIFICIAL MORBIFIC AGENTS. SUSCEPTIBILITY IS ONLY A NAME FOR A STATE
THAT UNDERLIES ALL POSSIBLE SICKNESS, AND ALL POSSIBLE CURE. THERE IS THE INDIVIDUAL
BEHIND IT ALL – BY J.T KENT
4. SUSCEPTIBILITY PLAYS VITAL ROLE IN MAINTENANCE OF VARIOUS BODILY
FUNCTIONS, AS WELL AS ALTERATION OF STATED TO DISEASED. FOLLOWING ARE
SOME OF THE FACTORS WHICH ARE ROOT TO SUSCEPTIBILITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL :
1. PHYSICAL CONSTITUTION
2. DIATHESIS
3. MENTAL MAKE UP
4. BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS OF BODY
5. EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT
6. PSYCHOLOGICAL OUTLOOK
5. TYPES OF SUSCEPTIBILITY
IN HOMEOPATHY, SUSCEPTIBILITY IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT CONCEPTS ON CAUSATION OF DISEASES
AND REMEDY REACTION.
EVEN THOUGH THE TERM SUSCEPTIBILITY IS NOT DIRECTLY REFERRED IN ORGANON OF MEDICINE BY DR
HAHNEMANN, DR JAMES TYLER KENT IN HIS LECTURES ON HOMEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY, QUOTES
APHORISMS (§) 30,31,32,33 IN ORGANON TO EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT OF SUSCEPTIBILITY.
FURTHER, H.A. ROBERTS DEFINES SUSCEPTIBILITY AS THE EXPRESSION OF VACUUM IN THE INDIVIDUAL. THE
VACUUM ATTRACTS AND PULLS FOR THE THINGS MOST NEEDED THAT ARE IN THE SAME PLANE OF
VIBRATION AS THE WANT OF THE BODY. PRIMARILY SUSCEPTIBILITY IS THE REACTION OF THE BODY TO
EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL INFLUENCES.
DR STUART M. CLOSE DEFINES SUSCEPTIBILITY AS THE GENERAL QUALITY OR CAPABILITY OF THE LIVING
ORGANISM TO RECEIVE IMPRESSIONS AND THE POWER TO REACT TO STIMULI.
6. NATURAL SUSCEPTIBILITY OR NORMAL SUSCEPTIBILITY
• THERE IS AN INNATE ABILITY OF THE ORGANISM TO REACT DEFENSIVELY TO A TOXIN, A CONTAGION OR
AN INFECTION AND TO REACT CONSTRUCTIVELY TO FOOD AND DRINKS. THIS IS CALLED IMMUNITY.
• HUMAN BODY IS PROTECTED FROM THE EXTERNAL INFLUENCES LIKE PATHOGENS OR CHANGES IN
ROUTINES DUE TO THIS IMMUNE RESPONSE. WHEN THE IMMUNITY IS REDUCED OR THE IMMUNE
MECHANISM IS DERANGED, THE PERSON BECOME SENSITIVE AND GET EASILY SICK.
• HOWEVER, THERE IS A NATURAL SUSCEPTIBILITY IN EVERY LIVING ORGANISM TO PROTECT IT FROM
HARMFUL EFFECTS OF SUBSTANCES THAT WE USE ON ROUTINE LIFE.
• FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE PEEL ONION, IT IRRITATES EYE PRODUCING WATERING AND BURNING, RUNNING
NOSE AND SO ON. THIS IS A NATURAL RESPONSE OF THE BODY TO PROTECT THE BODY. LIKE THIS WHEN
ONE IS EXPOSED TO SMOKE OR DUST, SOME IRRITATION OR DISCOMFORT IS EXPERIENCED AND THE
MOMENT, WE COME OUT TO OPEN AIR, WE FEEL NORMAL. THIS IS NATURAL SUSCEPTIBILITY OR NORMAL
SUSCEPTIBILITY.
7. ARTIFICIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY
•KENT SPEAKS OF ARTIFICIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY IN HIS LECTURE OF
HOMOEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY.
•WHEN MEDICINES ARE GIVEN THEY ACT FOR A TIME SATISFYING THE
SUSCEPTIBILITY. THEY ALTER THE SUSCEPTIBILITY AND WHEN THAT DOSE
OF MEDICINE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACT ON ALTERED SUSCEPTIBILITY
ANOTHER DOSE OR POTENCY IS REQUIRED.
•THIS ALTERED SUSCEPTIBILITY THAT IS ARRIVED AT IS CALLED ARTIFICIAL
SUSCEPTIBILITY.
8. MORBID SUSCEPTIBILITY
SUSCEPTIBILITY MAY BECOME MORBID AND PERVERTED
UNDER CONDITIONS OF DISEASE, SUFFERING AND DEATH.
ACCORDING TO S.CLOSE MORBID SUSCEPTIBILITY COULD BE
REGARDED AS A STATE OF NEGATIVE OR MINUS
CONDITION-A STATE OF LOWERED RESISTANCE.
10. SUSCEPTIBILITY AND HEALTH & DISEASE
THE NORMAL SUSCEPTIBILITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL IS EVIDENCED BY HIS(HER) CONSTITUTION, TEMPERAMENT, ETC.
IT IS THIS SUSCEPTIBILITY, WHEN MORBID RESULTS INTO DEVELOPMENT OF DISEASE IN AN INDIVIDUAL AND AT THE SAME
TIME ALSO DETERMINES HIS(HER) RESPONSE TO THE SIMILIMUM IN THE DISEASES STATE (SC).
SUSCEPTIBILITY IS MODIFIED BY AGE AND IS GREATEST IN CHILDREN.
IT IS ALSO MODIFIED BY CONSTITUTION & TEMPERAMENT, HABITS AND ENVIRONMENT.
THE POWER OF ASSIMILATION AND NUTRITION IS ONE OF THE PHASES OF SUSCEPTIBILITY. ONE EASILY ASSIMILATES ONE
KIND OF FOOD WHILE ANOTHER FINDS THE SAME FOOD INDIGESTIBLE.
11. •SUSCEPTIBILITY IS MODIFIED IN VARYING DEGREES BY THE CHARACTER AND STAGES OF THE DISEASE
AND BY PREVIOUS TREATMENT (SC).
•MANY MEDICINES OR PREPARATIONS ARE INTRODUCED INTO THE ORGANISM EITHER BY MOUTH OR
BY INJECTION (SERA, ANTISEPTICS) INTO THE BLOOD STREAM THAT HAVE NO BASIS OF SIMILARITY TO
THE SUSCEPTIBILITY, AND WHICH ARE THEREFORE DESTRUCTIVE TO THE RESTORATION OF NORMAL
SUSCEPTIBILITY (HR).
•THE DEGREE OF SUSCEPTIBILITY OF A PATIENT CAN BE SAFELY JUDGED BY THE CHARACTER AND
COMPLETENESS OF THE SYMPTOMS.
12. THE KIND AND DEGREE OF REACTION TO MEDICINES DEPENDS UPON THE DEGREE OF
SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE PATIENT.
IN TERMINAL CONDITIONS THE POWER OF THE ORGANISM TO REACT EVEN TO THE
INDICATED HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDY MAY BECOME SO LOW, THAT ONLY MATERIAL DOSES
CAN AROUSE IT.
THE PHYSICIAN MUST JUDGE THE DEGREE OF SUSCEPTIBILITY FOR MAXIMUM RESPONSE
FROM INTERVENTION IN A SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME. THE POWER TO MODIFY
SUSCEPTIBILITY IS THE BASIS OF THE ART OF THE PHYSICIAN. CURE CONSISTS SIMPLY IN
SATISFYING THE MORBID SUSCEPTIBILITY.
13. SUSCEPTIBILITY & MIASMS
• THE PREDISPOSITION OF CERTAIN SOMATO-TYPES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN DISEASES
LED TO THE DOCTRINE OF SUSCEPTIBLE CONSTITUTIONS OR DIATHESIS.
• THE DIATHESIS REPRESENTS CERTAIN DEVIATIONS IN SUSCEPTIBILITY WHICH ARE NOT
SUFFICIENTLY MARKED TO MERIT THE LABEL DISEASE AND IN WHICH HE RESPONSES TO
ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULI TEND TO BE EXAGGERATED OR ERRATIC (ML DHAWALE).
• AS PER THE HOMOEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY, THE MIASMATIC INFLUENCE (OR THE INHERITED
DYSCRASIAS) IS THE FUNDAMENTAL OR THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL DISEASES. THE PSORA IS A STATE
OF SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISEASE FROM WILLING EVILS (JK). A PERSON WITH PSORIC DIATHESIS IS
LIKELY TO DEVELOP DISEASES AT THE FUNCTIONAL PLANE TO WHICH HE/SHE IS SUSCEPTIBLE.
14. SPORADIC DISEASES ARE SUCH A KIND AS ATTACK SEVERAL
PERSONS AT THE SAME TIME, HERE AND THERE (SPORADICALLY),
BY MEANS OF METEORIC OR TELLURIC INFLUENCES AND
INJURIOUS AGENTS, THE SUSCEPTIBILITY FOR BEING MORBIDLY
AFFECTED BY WHICH IS POSSESSED BY ONLY A FEW PERSONS AT
ONE TIME (S HAHNEMANN).
15. SUSCEPTIBILITY &THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE
• SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF DISEASE DEPENDS NOT ONLY UPON CONSERVING AND UTILIZING THE
NATURAL SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE LIVING ORGANISM, BUT ON PROPERLY ADJUSTING BOTH REMEDY
AND DOSE TO THE NEEDS OF THE ORGANISM SO THAT SUSCEPTIBILITY SHALL BE SATISFIED, NORMAL
REACTION INDUCED AND EQUILIBRIUM OR HEALTH RESTORED (SC).
• SIMILAR THE REMEDY, THE MORE CLEARLY AND POSITIVELY THE SYMPTOMS OF THE PATIENT TAKE
ON THE PECULIAR AND CHARACTERISTIC FORM OF THE REMEDY, THE GREATER THE SUSCEPTIBILITY
TO THAT REMEDY AND THE HIGHER THE POTENCY REQUIRED (SC).
• FURTHER AS PER APHORISM § 281 (6TH ED) PERSONS WITH LESS SUSCEPTIBILITY WILL REQUIRE
FREQUENT REPETITION OF MEDICINE AND HIGHER DOSAGE, WHERE AS PERSONS WITH HIGH
SUSCEPTIBILITY WILL RESPOND FASTER AND THE DOSAGE IS REQUIRED TO BE RAISED LESS AND MORE
SLOWLY (SH).
16. FACTORS WHICH MODIFY
SUSCEPTIBILITY
• AGE: – SUSCEPTIBILITY IS GREATEST IN YOUNG PERSONS AND CHILDREN AND IT DIMINISHES
WITH AGE. CHILDREN ARE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE DURING THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD.
THE MOST SENSITIVE ORGANS ARE THOSE, WHICH ARE BEING DEVELOPED.
• CONSTITUTION AND TEMPERAMENT: –
• HIGH POTENCIES - NERVOUS, SANGUINE AND CHOLERIC TEMPERAMENT, INTELLIGENT, INTELLECTUAL,
ZEALOUS AND IMPULSIVE PERSONS WHO ARE QUICK TO ACT AND REACT.
• LOWER POTENCIES -TO TORPID, PHLEGMATIC INDIVIDUALS, COARSE FIBERED, SLUGGISH INDIVIDUALS
OF GROSS HABITS AND TO THOSE OF GREAT MUSCULAR POWER WHO REQUIRE POWERFUL STIMULI
TO EXCITE THEM.
17. • HABIT AND ENVIRONMENT: –
• SUSCEPTIBILITY IS INCREASED BY INTELLECTUAL OCCUPATION, BY EXCITEMENT OF IMAGINATION AND
EMOTIONS, BY SEDENTARY OCCUPATION BY LONG SLEEP AND EFFEMINATE LIFE. THEREFORE HIGH
POTENCIES ARE REQUIRED. A PERSON WHO IS ACCUSTOMED TO LONG AND SEVERE LABOR OUT OF
DOORS WHO SLEEP LITTLE AND WHOSE FOOD IS COARSE IS LESS SUSCEPTIBLE.
• PERSONS EXPOSE TO CONTINUOUS INFLUENCE OF DRUGS SUCH AS TOBACCO WORKER AND DEALERS,
DISTILLERS AND BREWERS AND ALL CONNECTED WITH LIQUORS AND TOBACCO TRADE, DRUGGIST,
PERFUMERS, CHEMICAL WORKERS ARE LESS SUSCEPTIBLE AND REQUIRE LOW POTENCIES. MENTALLY
LESS ALERT REQUIRE LOW POTENCIES. PERSONS WHO HAVE TAKEN MANY CRUDE DRUGS OF
ALLOPATHIC, HOMOEOPATHIC OR BARGAIN COUNTER PRESCRIPTION OFTEN REQUIRE HIGH POTENCIES
FOR THEIR CURE.
• PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS: – IN CERTAIN TERMINAL CONDITIONS THE POWER OF ORGANISM TO
REACT EVEN TO INDICATED HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDY IS LOW THEREFORE MATERIAL DOSES ARE
REQUIRED. THIS MAY BE DUE TO EXISTENCE AND GROSS PATHOLOGICAL LESIONS, LONG EXISTENT
EXHAUSTING CHRONIC DISEASE OR MUCH PREVIOUS TREATMENT. IF THE GRADE OF DISEASE IS LOW,
POWER OF REACTION IS LOW; THE REMEDY MUST BE GIVEN LOW.
18. • SEAT CHARACTER AND INTENSITY OF THE DISEASE: IN CERTAIN RAPIDLY FATAL DISEASES
LIKE CHOLERA, SUSCEPTIBILITY IS LOW SO IT REQUIRES MATERIAL DOSES OR LOW
POTENCIES. DISEASES CHARACTERIZED BY DIMINISHED VITAL ACTION, TORPOR,
COLLAPSE REQUIRE LOWER POTENCIES AND INCREASED VITAL ACTION REQUIRES HIGH
POTENCIES.
• PREVIOUS ABUSE OF MEDICINE: – DUE TO THIS WE MAY FIND THAT THE PATIENT IS NOT
AT ALL SENSITIVE EVEN TO THE INDICATED REMEDY. THEN THE MEDICATION HAS TO BE
STOPED FOR FEW DAYS, REGULATE THE DIET AND REGIMEN. HAHNEMANN
RECOMMENDS THE ADMINISTRATION OF OPIUM IN ONE OF THE LOWEST POTENCIES
EVERY 8TH OR 12TH HOUR UNTIL SOME SIGNS OF REACTION ARE PERCEPTIBLE. BY THIS
MEANS, SUSCEPTIBILITY IS INCREASED AND NEW SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE ARE BROUGHT
TO LIGHT. CARBO VEG, SULPHUR AND THUJA ARE OTHER REMEDIES, WHICH SERVE TO
AROUSE THE ORGANISM TO REACTION SO THAT INDICATED REMEDIES WILL ACT.
19. HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH
• THE “HOMŒOPATHIC AGGRAVATION," IS ALSO THE REACTION OF THE ORGANISM OF LOWERED
SUSCEPTIBILITY, AS IT RESPONDS TO THE GENTLY STIMULATING ACTION OF THE MEDICINE. IT IS
UNDERSTOOD THAT ACTION AND REACTION IN THE MEDICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSE TAKES
PLACE ONLY IN THE LIVING ORGANISM, AND THAT IT DEPENDS UPON THAT FUNDAMENTAL
QUALITY AND ATTRIBUTE OF LIFE WHICH WE CALL SUSCEPTIBILITY.
• WE SHALL SEE THAT THE KIND AND DEGREE OF REACTION TO MEDICINES DEPENDS UPON THE
DEGREE OF SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE PATIENT, AND THAT THE KIND AND DEGREE OF
SUSCEPTIBILITY, IN ANY PARTICULAR CASE OR PATIENT, DEPENDS LARGELY UPON HOW THE CASE
IS HANDLED BY THE PHYSICIAN; FOR IT IS IN HIS POWER TO MODIFY SUSCEPTIBILITY. INDEED,
THIS POWER TO MODIFY SUSCEPTIBILITY IS THE BASIS OF THE ART OF THE PHYSICIAN.
20. • THIS MORBID SUSCEPTIBILITY WHICH CONSTITUTES DISEASE MAY EXIST TOWARD SEVERAL
DIFFERENT MEDICINES, THE DEGREE OF SUSCEPTIBILITY TO EACH DEPENDING UPON THE DEGREE
OF SYMPTOM SIMILARITY; BUT THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF SUSCEPTIBILITY EXISTS TOWARD THE
MOST SIMILAR - THE SIMILLIMUM, OR EQUAL. HENCE, A GIVEN PATIENT MAY BE CURED OF HIS
DISEASE HOMŒOPATHICALLY BY EITHER OF TWO METHODS; BY GIVING SEVERAL MORE OR LESS
SIMILAR MEDICINES IN SUCCESSION, OR BY GIVING ONE EXACTLY SIMILAR MEDICINE--THE
