Scrichman,
You are the only woman who see things positively irrespective of the current situation on the board. I appreciate your approach.
Let's see some of your points.

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 I really think the remedy, once the initial action has occurred, is no longer active.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.

Yes! Antidote is not the proper word in homeopathy. Becuase we can't antidote any condition / disease / symptom like we are doing in allopathy. Exactly we are using the word "ANTIDOTE" Just to teach the concept of diversion of symptoms which were aggrevating earlier but after the administration of our so called antidote remedy we actually divert the action of remedy and not actually antidote it as we are watching allopath giving antidote to minimize the side effect of their medicines or drug.
It is my opinion . You can disagree on this opinion that Antidoting in homeopathy is a wrong concept. We cant antidote the effect of medicinal physiological action as allopath are doing. We can only apply reverse gear to those symptoms for which we prescribed a remedy earlier by giving new (we are calling them antidote) medicine according to the symptoms or on clinical experience.
