I think the remedy stimulates the vital force in a particular direction. If something comes along that the person is sensitive to, it can then stimulate the vital force in a different direction. We then no longer see the action of the remedy, so we say the remedy has been antidoted. I really think the remedy, once the initial action has occurred, is no longer active. It merely appears to be active because we continue to see the results of the initial stimulation. We use the word antidote because it's denotes the results of what we see, but maybe there is a better word.
