"Every year in August, morning coryza, with violent sneezing, very sensitive to the odor of flowers and skin of peaches."

That is one form of hay fever cured by Allium cepa. It will wipe out an attack of hay fever in a few days, when the symptoms agree.

You may know that the true nature of hay fever is not generally understood. It is really only an explosion of chronic disease, that is, it is a manifestation of psora, and can be eradicated only by antipsoric treatment. Many a time have I seen hay fever wiped out in one season by a short-acting remedy, only to return the next just the same, and perhaps another remedy will be required.

Psora: As soon as the hay fever is stopped you must begin with constitutional treatment. There will be symptoms, if you know how to hunt for them, that differ altogether from the acute attack. When the hay fever is on these do not appear.

It is a difficult matter to find a constitutional remedy when the hay fever is at its height, for it resembles an acute disease; but it is a manifestation of psora, like an other manifestation of psora, as eruptions, cough, etc.

The nose may manifest only a certain phase of chronic disease in one season which may, for instance, be suited to Allium cepa. I remember one time having occasion to prescribe Allium cepa at long distance. it was near a homoeopathic pharmacy. I wired the pharmacist to send my patient Allium cepa, and he labeled it.

Well, the patient kept the bottle and used it next season, but it did no good. That is likely to be the case, even when the symptoms seem to agree. In a psoric condition a short-acting remedy is insufficient; it may help for one day only, and the deep-acting remedy that includes the patient as well as the hay fever and all the other symptoms will have to be administered.

Murthy

Of course, increasing the potency to see if it aborts the recurrence permanently is what any homeopath will do, provided the symptoms come back unchanged.

However if the remedy chosen is a short acting one, to suit the superficial symptoms alone, it is unlikely that even increasing the potency will lead to cure. As Kent points it out it may lead to palliation only.

Perhaps Kent is amplifying and clarifying what Hann. said.

Murthy

With acute symptoms, one may prescribe short acting remedies,which may often be of temporary help.But it cannot be radically cured by such remedies which fail to reach the depth of the organism where the chronic miasm responsible for such acute outbursts.

What do you mean? They only need one remedy because it's the similimum?

Unfortunately Hahnemannian is not able to contribute currently ....his computer died and he cant afford to replace it

Its very sad because he knew Homeopathy inside out and backwards and I desperately need his help

Yeah. That means "thing most similar." There can only be one, and the Law of Similars isn't fulfilled without that most-similar remedy. People otherwise zigzag cases to cure, and it's a big mistake because there's no guarantee you'll continue the cure with additional drugs, and it's always much slower and far less dramatic. For instance, along with everything else resolving, you often get miraculous results that revolve around mental freedom (try to imagine that) with the simillimum. Hahnemann explained this stuff about zigzagging cases to cure in the ORGANON, but I unfortunately didn't bring my copy to this terminal.

People in the Vithoulkas school of thought (GVs) constantly make this mistake. They call it layer theory, and they go on about miasms and miasmatic layers and God only knows what else related to this fundamental mistake. That word simply means "contagion." Hahnemann mistakenly believed -- and with every reason to do so, too -- that the vast majority of chronic diseases were caused by a pathogen he called psora. No, it's lots more complicated than that because a breakdown of the etheric energy pattern (the vital force) on the Etheric Plane of existence is involved whenever the body attacks itself and goes haywire in chronic diseases and psychiatric maladies and even in failures of the immune system in adults. More importantly, continual negative thought will almost always be involved, and our societies and the half-truths and lies of accepted knowledge about practically everything produces this negative thinking.

The GVs have done a mystification thing about this like all priestcraft types of teachers and followers. Hahnemannians don't have either, just colleagues, so of course you see nonsense like this from follower personalities and their dumb leaders, all of whom are misguided. You can always recognize high-potency pseudo homeopaths by seven or eight serious mistakes like that, and low-potency pseudo homeopaths never get anything right. Fortunately, the GVs think homeopathically, just not fully, so they'll eventually transcend these mistakes if they keep at it, live long enough and rethink their basic assumptions and definitions. It's truly a big deal to think homeopathically. The problem is that mistakes compound. Ultra-unfortunately, allopaths also make nothing but mistakes, and virtually everyone in the entire world suffers due to this. I stipulate that because we're not really throwing mud at the GVs when they do this stuff. We're just trying to get them to Hahnemannian status and to quit calling themselves classical homeopaths since they're not.

I've written about this a lot. Go read, please. Questions are easy; answers aren't.

God bless!
