I also think that suffering teaches people, and improves them as people. But I think that illness often comes when people do not learn from their suffering, they become stuck in it, do not evolve past it. Homoeopathy helps them to resolve the situation, it does not simply remove it. This is the big difference between us and Orthodox medicine - they remove suffering, we resolve it. Our patients are better people when the crisis is over, theirs are sicker and emotionally weaker.

I don't believe suffering is an end to itself. It serves a purpose and teaches, but the lesson must be learned, or there would be no point to it. And lessons can be learned when alive, not just at the point of death, or living would have no reason either.

Suffering never really ends. The only true cure is death (we assume). Therefore, we never really cure our patients, just help them continue the journey, more evolved, ready for the next lesson in their lives. I believe that when my patients die, they will move on to something higher than they would have had they never come to homoeopathy.

If illness is allowed to continue unchecked in a person, it often moves into their heart, their mind and finally their spirit. Homoeopathy reverses this. I would find it hard to believe that this is contrary to our purpose on this world, to become stronger more complete beings.
