Hi Dear Doctors

With Reference To '' Relation Of Remedies '' By R. Gibson Miller. I Quote.

Remedy --------- Complement --------- Inimical ------------ Antidote

Lach .................. Ac. Nit ................. Ac NIT ...................AC, NIT


My question Is, How Can One Decide That After "lach" Ac. Nit Shall Act Inimically Or It Shall Complement Or Antidote The Remedy.
Unfortunately I Could Not Find Any Guidence About It.
I Hope Some Learned Doctor Of This "bb" Will Guide Me.

Thanks A Lot

relation of remedies are based on symptoms and not on actual ingridient found in the medicine.

Hi Mshafiq,

Always, what determines the next remedy is the portrait of symtpoms (mental, physical, etc.) that presents itself after re-taking the history. One cannot predict in advance which remedy is needed, but it is possible to know that some symtpoms indicate particlular group of remedies.

Once one has made an analysis and synthesis of the symptom picture (after the first prescription), then there are a group of remedies that are available for differentiation. It is at this point that using the relationship of remedies table helps one to pick the most appropriate remedy - one that is complementary in action. This is assuming that the first remedy was beneficial and actually moved the case forward towards cure.

Hope this helps,
doctorleela

Hi DR.LEELA

Thank you for your prompt reply.
What you said above I agree with it, but my question is quite different.
Let me put it in another way. I give LACH in a particular case. Patient's response is good but after some time no further improvement is noted.
After retaking the history he gives a group of symptoms clearly indicating NIT-AC. Now I am puzzled what to do !!!
I am bound to prescribe NIT-AC. But I don't know how the NIT-AC shall act. Either NIT-AC shall act inimically or complement LACH or antidote it.
I think this explains my question.


Best regards

Hi Mushafiq,

The remedy relationships are only a guide and not a binding rule. I believe they are observations made by reputed homeopaths while studying case progressions in their individual patients.

IF your patient clearly needs Nitric Acid and there is no other possible remedy - then you need to him give Nitric Acid. the Nitric Acid will only antidote the Lachesis if it was a very partial similimum and the changes produced by it were superficial.

OR otherwise, why was Nitric Acid not indicated at the beginning itself? What changed in the patients symptoms picture to change the LAchesis indications? It is important to understand your cases and analysis in these details if you wish to really understand and apply the concept of remedy relationships.

Each individual case needs to be assessed by its own merits to make these judgements though, and often we understnad what has happened only in retrospect.

Doctorleela,

If I am not mistaken, I think, he just want to ask: how Ac. Nit. is/can be compliment, inimical & Antodote to Lach. at a given time?

I am sorry to say that the problem is still unsolved.
I want to know the sequel of the case before giving NIT.AC
On what basis one can decide that NIT.AC shall complement LACH and not act inimically or antidote it.
There must be clear indications for it otherwise the case will be spoiled.

Best Regards.

Mushafiq, somehow there seems to be a blind spot somewhere that I don't think I help to get past.

If the picture of symptoms indicate Nitric Acid, if the miasmatic stage of disease corresponds with Nitric Acid, if the symptoms in your patients correspond with the proving in the MAteria Medica of Nitric acid, if the pathology that you are treating has been clinically proven to be helped with the remedy nitric acid - what is it that stops you from prescribing nitric acid???!

HEre I'm assuming that you knew exactly what you were doing when you prescribed the LAchesis - that it also fulfilled all the criteria of above!
And if it did - and the case is not one of complex pathology and chronic suppression and miasm - then Lachesis may have been the ony prescription required!!

I appreciate your sensitive conscience about "spoiling" the case . Bu while your poor patient waits for you to deal with that and make your decision. I hope, you sincerely make a genuine homeopathic prescription.
All the best to you!

KAyveeh - Maybe you could give him a better answer.

doctorleela, Actually, I also want to understand it that how in principle Ac. Nit. can act as compliment, Inimical & Antidote to Lach? I think it not a tissue remedy's problem.

I just could understood it partly that suppose a remedy adds to other remedy or compliments it, and after given origional remedy wrongly, it is showing proving symptoms, the 2nd remedy being compliment, will add to its symptoms so can be taken as Inimical also. Now, if 2nd remedy is powerful than the first remedy, then it(2nd remedy) can suppress/antidote the symptoms of first remedy & shows its(2nd) effects seprately. It is just an logical understanding but you can better guide him-- just in principle.

P.S. Just see here:

Complementary means completes the cure started by another remedy.

Inimical means don’t follow each other well.

Antidotal means modifies or opposes the effects of a remedy.

Sugar after jaggery can be a compliment in normal & required circumstances but inimical in diabetic disease.
