Ricky,
If the symptoms match those of Symphoricarpus and the remedy is given and the symptoms abate;
how is that palliative and not curative?
By that reasoning, if a patients symptoms match, say, Stramonium, and the remedy is given and the symptoms abate, then it is palliative.

Yet, homoeopaths say it is curative.
Which is it?
Surely, you can not pick and choose remedies and say they only act palliatively?
Surely, it would be palliatively
only if the symptoms abated and "new" (i.e. never before experienced Sx) symptoms appeared?
If the symptoms match and all the symptoms are covered by the remedy, then it is curative, right?
