Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Dear Betsy, Actually, there is a specific reason why a person would in a very narrow case take something to make them sick in the name of healing. That is called proving a homeopathic remedy. In this case you would give a material dose of a substance until it makes a person ill and then record what those symtpoms of illness are. If you take arsenic it might result in stomach upset, waking around 1:00 in the morning and having critical, judgemental thoughts of others. Once this information is recorded, you stop taking the arsenic and health should return. This is obviously all done in controlled circumstances. You do this so when a person seeking health comes to your door for help and has stomach upset with problems of waking around 1:00 am and is critical of others you have a pretty clear match of their symptom picture with the symptom picture that Arsenicum Alb. will address. Notice the name of the remedy is slightly different than arsenic- that is because it is given in Homeopathic form which uses latin. Where you proved the material does- what we are all familiar with- the remedy itself is diluted. And almost always diluted to the point where no remaining physical atoms of arsenic remain- a purified expression of the energetic signature of arsenic. Ironically, the more dilute the more powerful, the more potent, the remedy becomes. Less truly is more. These dilute administrations are said to stimulate the body's inner healing wisdom resulting in the restoration of balance to the body. When people think Homeopathic- obviously the dilution part sticks in their mind- a very unsual concept, and a very important principle, but Homeopathy itself means Homeo- Similar Pathy- Suffering So put together " Homeopathy " literally means taking a remedy that has the ability to cause the illness in a healthy person that it will cure in a sick person. Thankfully once the remedy has been sufficiently proved there is no longer a need to keep proving it. Not to say that it can't be or shouldn't be, nor to say that new remedies are going through this process all the time. Just that you, the end user, need not suffer through these provings. Unless you wish to participate in this great learing experiment. The dedication and sacrifice of these brave people, often times 150-100 years ago, still brings healing and relief to people today from the vast, intricate and extremely comprehensive information that they helped to collect.

Let me add one more thought and I don't remember who said it but I'll try to find out: " Why would a sick person take a medicine that would make a healthy person sick if he took it?
