Merits ​of ​Palliation ​1​. I​ n ​life ​threatening ​conditions

some ​initial ​relief ​is ​possible ​by ​palliation​. ​De​-​merits ​of
Palliation ​1​. ​Palliation ​is ​not ​a ​curative ​process​, ​it ​is ​extremely
faulty ​method​.
After ​initial ​relief ​the ​disease ​recurs ​again ​either ​in ​the ​same
intensity
 ​ ​. ​The ​condition ​of ​the ​patient
or ​in ​the increased ​intensity​. 2
becomes ​worse ​after ​the ​initial ​relief ​of
symptoms​. ​To ​relieve ​the ​patient ​progressively ​increasing
doses ​of
drugs ​will ​be ​needed ​repeatedly​. ​3​. ​Repeated ​use ​of
palliative ​remedies ​in ​pro​gress​ive ​doses ​might ​lead
to ​production ​of ​artificial d
​ rug ​or iatrogenic ​diseases​. ​4​.
Palliation ​is ​a ​one ​sided ​symptomatic ​treat​ment​; ​only f​ ew ​troubling
symptoms ​are ​covered ​to ​relieve ​the ​patient​. ​Removal ​of ​the
symptoms ​in ​total is ​only ​cure; ​hence ​palliation ​is ​extremely
unscientific
treatment​. ​5​. ​Prolonged ​palliative ​treatment ​will ​aggravate ​the
symptom ​at every
step ​of ​repetition ​of ​the
remedy​.

SUPPRESSION ​The ​word ​"​suppression​" ​is

​ ere​" ​which ​means ​"​to ​press ​down
derived ​from ​a ​Latin ​word ​"​s​upprim
forcibly​"​. ​Suppression ​is ​the ​process ​of ​forcibly ​removing ​the ​present
disease ​manifestations ​by ​any ​means ​other ​than ​fixed ​principles ​at ​the
cost ​of ​a ​new ​disease​. S
​ uppression ​diverts ​the ​disease ​manifestation
from ​least ​important ​organs ​to ​the ​most ​important ​organs​. ​It ​is ​in ​the
reverse ​order ​of ​the ​Hering​'s​ ​law ​of ​cure

Importance ​of S
​ uppression ​As ​a ​result ​of ​suppression
the ​disease ​is ​div​erted i​ nto
​ ​othe​r ​part o​ f ​the ​body​. ​This i​ s
totally ​against ​the ​Hering​'​s ​law ​of c​ u
​ re​. ​Su​ ppr​ ession ​is ​not ​a
good ​condition​.
Homeopathy believes ​in ​p​sy​chos​om​atic ​ca​u​ses ​of
disease​. ​Suppression ​of ​emotions ​is ​responsible ​for ​all
sorts ​of ​ailments ​like p ​ sychotic​, ​psychoneurotic ​and
psychosomatic ​problems ​of ​today​. ​By ​identifying ​the
emotional ​side ​of ​totality ​and ​the ​nurture ​of ​suppression​,
the ​homeopathic ​physician ​can ​select ​a ​similimum
remedy​. ​H.​ ​A.​ ​Roberts ​says​, ​"t​ he ​one t​ hing w ​ e ​should
always ​bear i​ n ​mind and s​ hould ​ho ​ ld a ​ s ​our ​a​im i​ s ​to ​allow
the ​vital ​force t​ o ​express i​ tself ​in ​its o
​ wn c​ hosen ​way
when ​it ​is ​deranged​".​ ​"​The ​administration ​of
physiological ​medicine ​at s​ uc​h t​ imes c​ hanges t​ he w ​ hole

imm​ed​iate ​effect o

Types ​of ​Suppression ​Suppression ​can ​be ​of ​two ​types​: ​1​.
Natural ​suppression ​2.​ ​Artificial ​suppression ​Natural ​suppression
His ​a ​type ​of ​suppression ​caused ​by ​natural ​external ​f​actors
that ​supp​ress ​the ​normal ​functions ​of ​vital ​force ​a​nd ​the ​body​.
Example​: ​Menstruation ​checked ​by ​extreme ​cold ​bathi​ng​,
 lochia ​stopp​ed ​after ​catching ​cold ​etc​.
H​.​A​.​Roberts ​says ​"c​ onditions ​like ​shell ​shock​, ​fri​ght​, ​fear ​excessive
joy​, ​intense ​unsatisfied ​longing ​for ​mate ​or ​off​ sprin​g,​ ​unrequited
love​, ​grief from ​loss of ​family ​and ​friends​, ​business
apprehension ​and ​worri​es​, ​disappointed ​ambitions​, ​extreme
fatigue ​or ​e​xhaustion etc​.​, ​we ​often ​sa ​cases ​where ​the

In the ​“​Chronic ​diseases​” ​Hahnemann ​says ​that ​the primary

manifestations ​of ​Psora ​i​.​e​. ​skin ​eruptions ​can ​someti​mes ​be
suppressed ​hy ​natural ​environmental ​causes​. ​So​, ​the ​primary
manifestatio​ns ​of ​Psora
on ​change ​either ​into ​latent ​Psora ​or ​in ​to ​sec​ondary ​manifestations
even ​by ​environmental ​changes ​like exposure ​to ​extreme ​cold ​or ​extreme
heat ​etc​. ​Emotional ​factors ​of ​the ​patient ​can ​also ​play a
​ ​major
role ​in ​such ​suppression​. ​When ​a homeopathic ​doctor ​is
dealing with ​such ​naturally ​suppressed cases​, ​the ​similimum
must ​cov​er ​both ​the cause ​of ​suppression ​and ​the ​totality​.
Artificial ​suppression ​This ​is ​the ​type ​of ​suppression ​that ​is
caused by ​artificial ​me​ans​. ​It ​might ​be ​of ​various ​types​: ​1​.
Artificial ​suppression ​by ​external ​application​. ​2​. ​Artificial
suppression ​by ​harmful ​internal ​treatments​. ​3​. ​Artificial
suppression ​of ​natural ​secretions ​of ​the ​body​. ​4​. ​Artificial
suppression ​by ​surgical ​removal ​of ​disturbing ​organs​. ​1​.
Arti​ficial ​suppression ​by ​external ​application​: ​This ​type
of ​suppression ​is ​frequently ​seen ​in our day ​to ​day ​practice​.
The ​skin ​manifestations ​of ​eczema ​are ​suppressed ​by ​external
applications ​like ​ointments​, ​liniments ​etc ​by ​allopathic
physicians​. ​When ​the ​miasm i​ s ​robbed ​of ​its ​external
manifestations​, ​it ​is ​forced ​to ​take ​the ​inward ​direction​. ​By ​such
treatments​, ​cure ​is ​not ​possible ​as ​the ​miasm ​is ​not ​eradicated
from ​the ​body​. ​The ​prolonged ​suppression ​prove ​dangerous ​to
the ​patient​. ​The ​symptoms ​take ​inward ​direction ​and ​nervous
and ​psych​oneuro​tic ​manifestations ​may ​result​. ​Such ​treatment​,
if ​continued ​for ​a ​lo​ng ​period​, ​it ​becomes ​impossible ​to ​cure
the ​patient​. ​Example​: ​i​. ​When t​ he ​primary ​manifestations ​of
the ​Psora​, Syphilis ​and ​Sycosis
are ​removed ​by ​external ​treatments ​of ​allopathy​, ​the ​nature
develops ​secondary ​manifestations ​of ​each ​miasm
under ​different ​nosological
​ uppression ​of ​eczema ​by ​powerful ​local ​ointments
names​. ​ii​.
S
for ​a ​prolonged
time​, ​may ​develop ​into ​asthmatic ​manifestations​. 2 ​ ​. ​Artificial
suppression ​by ​harmful ​internal ​treatments​: ​The ​prolonged
and ​continued ​usage ​of ​the ​harm​ful ​allopathic ​medicines ​drive
the ​symptoms ​to ​the ​deepest ​and ​the ​vi​tal ​organs ​of ​the ​body​.
The ​natural ​development ​of ​the ​disease ​process ​gets ​diverted ​to
the ​other ​parts ​of ​the ​body​. ​This ​happens ​because ​the ​power
conicals ​thatod​:​57

llopathic ​non
ble​, ​the
 m​ost
used ​as ​the ​me​dic​ines ​wea​ken t​ he ​vital ​force.​ ​Hahnemann ​in
comment​s​, ​“t​ hese i​ nroads ​on h ​ uman ​health ​effected ​by
allopathic ​healing ​art ​are ​of ​all ​chronic ​diseases ​the ​most
deplorable,​ ​the
incurable​".​ ​Dr​. ​H​. ​A​. ​Roberts ​also ​sa​ys "​ T
​ he ​present ​indiscriminate ​use o
​ f
salicyla ​and c​ oal t​ ar ​derivatives i​ n ​rheumatic ​and ​allied s​ tates
invariably ​send ​the ​trouble t​ o t​ he central o ​ rgans​, ​especially ​to
​ ​. ​Artificial ​suppression o
the ​heart​”​. 3 ​ f ​natural ​secre​tions ​of
the b ​ ody​: ​Another ​type ​of suppression ​is ​artificial ​s​upp​ress​io​ n ​of
the ​natural ​secretion o ​ f ​the ​body​. ​Example​: ​i​. ​Suppression ​of
perspiration ​by ​the ​medicinal ​powders​. ​ii​. ​Suppression ​of
menstruation ​by ​hormonal ​derivatives​.
​ etabolic ​end products ​are secreted ​through ​proper
The m
channels ​in ​the ​body ​like ​the ​elimination ​of ​perspiration
through ​the ​skin​. ​But ​in ​the ​name ​of ​civilization ​when we ​try
to ​suppress ​them ​by ​the ​artificial ​methods​, ​this ​process
suppresses ​the ​elimination ​of ​metabolic ​end products
through ​the ​natural ​channels​. ​The ​body ​tries ​to
eliminate ​these ​products
through ​other ​possible ​channels​. ​This ​change ​disturbs ​the
harmony ​of ​the ​organism​, ​leading ​to ​constitutional
defec​ts​. ​4​. ​Artificial ​suppression ​by ​surgical ​removal ​of
disturbing ​organs​: ​In ​conditions ​like ​tonsillitis ​and ​sinusitis
etc​, ​the ​vital ​force ​is ​expressing ​its ​suffering ​through ​its
selected ​organs​. ​As ​we ​know​, ​these ​symptoms ​of
inflammation ​are ​the ​outwardly r​ eflected ​picture ​of ​the
internally ​deranged ​vital ​force​. ​By ​surgical ​section ​of
tonsils ​and ​draining ​of ​the s​ inuses​, ​we ​are ​only ​dealing ​with
 the ​end ​products ​of ​t​he ​diseases ​and ​not ​with ​the ​cause​. ​This
form ​of ​suppression ​is ​most c

Treatmen​t ​of ​Suppressed ​Cases

Case ​taking ​is the ​source ​to ​identify ​any ​fo​rm ​of
suppression in ​the ​patient​'​s ​life​. ​The ​enquiry ​into ​the
past ​and ​the ​t​reatment history ​will
aid ​the ​physician ​to ​identify ​any ​sort ​of ​suppression ​in
the ​case​. ​2 ​The ​physician ​with ​his ​knowledge ​of
pathology​, ​sur​ger​y ​and ​allied
subjects ​can ​easily ​judge ​whether ​the ​present
condition ​of ​the ​patient
is ​curable ​or ​not​. ​3​. ​The c
​ urable ​cases ​can ​be
treated ​with ​the ​curative ​similimum ​remedy​.
In ​doing ​so ​both​, t​ he ​present ​symptoms ​and ​the
symptoms ​that ​were
present ​at ​the ​time ​of ​suppression ​have ​to ​be ​considered​. ​4​.
Appearance ​of ​the ​old ​suppressed symptoms ​is ​a ​good ​sign
in ​the
follow ​up​. ​It ​indicates ​that ​the ​administered ​remedy i​ s
correct​. ​5​. ​No ​medicine ​should be ​administered ​during
the ​period of ​homeopathic
aggravation​. ​Kent​'​s ​"w
​ ait ​and w
​ atch​” ​approach ​might
 prove ​curative
in ​the ​future​. ​6​.
​ fter ​the ​end o
A ​ f ​aggravation​,
even ​if ​symptoms ​persist​:
i​. ​Either ​the ​same ​remedy ​can ​be ​repeated ​in ​different
potency​, ​if
symptoms ​still ​indicate the ​same ​remedy​. i​ i​. ​Or ​a ​fresh
case ​taking ​can ​be ​done ​and ​the ​most ​appropriate
remedy ​to ​the ​existing ​symptoms ​can ​be ​administered
This ​procedure ​has ​to ​be ​repeated ​till ​the
improvement ​of ​the
patient ​occurs​. ​Hence​, ​suppression ​is ​a ​crime ​against ​the
human ​economy ​where ​instead ​of ​curing ​the ​patient​, ​more
harm ​is done ​by ​diverting ​the ​curative ​process ​of the ​disease
symptom​. ​Here​, ​the ​simple ​curable ​disease ​present ​in ​the ​least
important ​organ ​is ​forced ​to ​develop ​into ​the ​dangerous ​disease​,
affecting ​the ​vital ​organs ​of ​the ​body​. “​ ​Suppression a ​ nd
