That's a great explanation Divina - the dangers of the Similimum!
- Just a corollary to that, in a country like India, family need and duty overides individual need.
So unless its a very abusive situation, couples rarely separate ... so maintaining cause may persist ... so do the symptoms, as a result.
That's what we would term as "compensated" right?


Fitness, I assume what you're refering to is the use of homeopathic remedies inappropriately.
That can be dangerous - yes, in the long term - as the disease continues to progress and suppressions push the disease deeper into the system (just as in allopathy).
We seem to hide behind the fact that people think homeopathy "has no side effects" and it is 'safe'.

In the short term the situation can be reversed - even the wrong use of homeoapthic remedies - I shudder to think of what would happen if this was conitnued for a long time.
But then people have become so used to (or have accepted) the destructive effects of the dominant system of medicine, they hardly seem to notice this with homeopathy.
