I have sometimes mentioned my concept of the return of old symptoms as having a relation to a human tape recorder. This relates to Hahnemann’s work pointing out the danger of suppression. Also Kent’s frequent mention of the fact that in the best and most positive cases the old symptoms [ that have been suppressed – driven inwards ] reappear in the reverse order that they were driven inwards. I:E , the most recent appears first and the oldest last.

THE HUMAN TAPE RECORDER.

Allopathy is often referred to as “the symptom curer”. This is because they assume that the illness is contained totally in the symptoms. Which from a Homeopathic point of view is absurd.
Starting with Hahnemann Homeopathy has always had the concept of a
Life Force/Vitality from which all illness originates.
Also there is the point that each individual has an inherited pattern of weakness, A Predisposition or, Path of Least Resistance, which is taken by all symptoms that are driven inwards and is also followed as those symptoms are thrown out; by homeopathic treatment on the way to cure. .
It is this Individuality that is at the root of constitutional treatment. To match the individual to a remedy is the ideal or objective. All remedies have patterns of indications, just as all individuals have a predisposition [ or pattern] .For instance it is not possible to mistake a Arsenicum person for a Sulphur person .
Suppression is possible in many ways and, remotely, can even be the result of clumsy homeopathy. A life style can cause a sickness of the Life Force. The outcome of addiction to stress and the resultant Adrenalin, may be Poly Cystic Ovaries [PCO] or Fibroids.
I have dealt with a case where stress caused a depression of the Immune System, to the point that Toxoplasmosis was part of the patient picture.
But above all and way out in front is the use of crude drugs [pharmaceuticals] to “cure” a set of symptoms. When a symptom is driven inwards by such allopathic treatment, it follows the Path of Least Resistance which leads it to the internal apparatus, that I think of as the Tape Recorder. There the vitality – or life force – is “soaked up’ by the need to control this problem. A problem which it had sent to a vent at the ‘surface ‘ to relieve internal pressure- thus creating the “Symptom” ‘cured’ by the Allopath. Totally closing off the natural ‘vent; created by the body.
The more often this process is followed and the more symptoms that are driven inwards,the more vents that are closed, the longer becomes the Tape. And the more of the Life Force is “soaked up” leaving less at the disposal of the body.
Eventually a set of Chronic, Incurable symptoms are in place and the suppressive measures of Allopathy are useless. The patient is told I am sorry but there is nothing further we can do for you.
It is at this point that they often turn to Homeopathy in desperation. But by now it is very late in the day and whilst it is not impossible to “unwind” the Tape it has become very difficult and requires a great deal of time and skill. Of course it is easy to see if the tape is unwinding and the most recently suppressed symptoms are re-appearing.
After the start of treatment one of my first questions to patients is “Has this symptom ever happened in the past”. But the patient often says “You have made me worse!”. This happened so often I prepared a standard sheet, pointing out that this ‘unwinding’ process was in fact part of the cure and that normally old symptoms returned only for a day or two as part of the process of cure.
The problems mentioned above can also be created by drugs that are not pharmaceuticals but narcotic . There have been cases of the ‘sniffing’ of cocaine creating a hole in the tissue between the two nostrils . A clear indication of a basic Miasm [syphilitic] being brought to the surface.

dear passkey

Thanks for your wonderfull post,oh so true........

But, will it bring latent/suppressed infections & disorders(think about possibility of metastatis of maligent tumor) to their active stage? About latent TB; will homeopathic remedies bring a patient's latent stage to active stage, initially? Will it be harmful or beneficial- suppose if treatment discontinued or there is some mistake in prescribing a suitable remedy to cure active infection after it has come from latent condition due to any remedy's application?

There can be no such thing as a "Latent" malignant tumour . Only the latent possibilty of tumour - which can be raised from its latent conditon by the allopathic suppression of symptoms.
Yes it is possible to suppress homeopathically by very clumsy prescribing - but this is hardly a ;norm;.
After the tumour has been raised by allopathic treatment it can then be turned into a malignant phenomena by further allopathic prceedures such as , chemotherapy , operative preceedure , etc;.
TB is a phenomena that has been located in dinosaur bones . It is a very versatile , flexible organism , with millions of years experience in mutation!.
Under attack it simply mutates.
The things most likely to rouse latent TB are poverty and sickness , as well as the allopathic suppression of a symptom picture .

There can be two type of genetic/heriditary/inherant predispositions; genotype & phenotype. There can also be aquired conditions--acute or chronic, with in one's lifetime. Do you mean to say there can be no latent aquired condition/infection within the lifetime of an individual?

Whether, latent is a foreign body effect or an internal body's effect? Whether our body consider/treat it as foreign body & so try to remove it with its defence system or not?

How can you relate differant miasms, silicea(Silica in crude form), Calc.Fluor(fluoride in crude form) & Kali sulph(suphur in crude form) with getting & curing latent conditions.

While the study of the invariant factors in human genetics is almost intoxicating in its simplicity, we now face the formidable challenge of identifying the contribution of the environment, with all its attendant variables, to the generation of the clinical phenotype we define as illness.

The above qutation is , I assume the view you wish to put forward. And is , of course ,a part of the Nature vs Nurture discussion.

However I still maintain that the body responds to all external stimuli according to the predisposition built into it at gestation.

How do you "aquire ' a condition. Only by the response of the built in hereditary pattern.

Yes you will be affected by many external conditions in a lifetime [ Acute are either self curing , or lethal.] .

The immune system grows by defeating external attacks . Those it cannot kill it may call a truce with . So that in the case of gonorrhea the micro organism is accepted as a co-defender . Thereafter "my" gonorrhea defends me against all other varieties . Where my sexual partner does not have such a co-defender then "my" gonorrhea moves in .

I assume this is the type of "aquired " condition you refer to?. But this is simply an aid to my survival and health. As well as the reason that the WHO declared gonorrhea "Out of Control" - after trying to wipe it out with antibiotics.

Latent conditions. You dont "get" a latent condition. You are born with it.
In general you dont "cure" latent conditions . The only time you deal with latent conditions is when they cease to be latent and become a full blown problem.

Always there are indications in the psycho-somatic picture of the patient which point to the individual miasm that is at the root of the problem - which arises in the non material life force/vitality , as per Hahnemann .

I have posted a seperate item on tumor formation - which points out that a tumor is often a "vent" for a stress , and as such only to be cured by inducing the body to retract its vent . Which it will do if the problem that caused the body to prduce the "vent" is solved.

I think, you are right in sense of, immunities, resistances & suppressions can be inherited & these make predisposition to aquire diseases & disorders within the lifetime. It is alike body's strength & weakness to aquire any disease or disorder. If I am not wrong these predisposed strengths & weaknesse can be modified within the life time to carry forward--as an ongoing process by " genetic's natural selections". It is justified in sense that 'out of two person exposed to any disease similarily, one gets the disease but other not.

Now my important question is;

Whether these inherited strengths & weaknesses(immunities, resistances, suppressions, miasms etc.) are alike suppressions/latent or one kind of foreign substance deposit in our system or not(pls consider a person in origional perfect health alike Adam & eve)? If yes, will Silicea, being capable of removing all foreign substances from body, can remove all these inhereted predispositions(deposits)?

No, absolutely not . These are inherant , built lnto the genes- the things that make each person a unique individual.

You have to remember that silica only removes those things that are "foreign" to the body -- NOT those things that are inherant to that body and its genetic structure.

It is possible -- by using the Homeopathic indications -- to strengthen the constitution of an individual - but not to eliminate all the flaws which make him/her a persoality. If you could , you would have the secret of immortality.

A project well worth persuing!.

We have genetic inherantance/predisposition to aquire any infection or disorder. We can aquire infections & disorders within the lifetime, if exposed to these within the life time. Right? This predisposition may not be considered as suppression or foreign substance to our body. But, whether aquiring of any infection say TB, or a disorder say cancer, during lifetime, can be considered as a foreign substance to body or not? I mean whether TB bacterias or cancer cells can be considered as foreign substance to body & Silicea act accordingly.

Furthur, whether constitutional & miasmatic remedies are not related & suitable to strengthen the constitution of an individual (by constitutional remedies) & to eliminate all the flaws which make him/her a persoality(by miasmatic remedies)?

We are certainly tightening the focus of this .

TB or Cancer, are very latent -- NOT -- foreign substances or bodies. Given enough poverty and depression these things come to the surface .

Hahnemann had a lot to say about this under the heading of the Psoric Miasm and its relation to Leprosy. And of course the relation of suppression to Psoric phenomena.

Silica has a relation to the vitality/life force of a particular individual. Its usefulness is in accord with the signs of character of the individual and how they match to the provings of silica.

Certainly I have taken many remedies to see what effect they would have on me, you recognise those signs better in a patient , if you have experienced them. I once took Carcinosin and the only effect I noticed was that a black mole complete with black hairs , that I had since childhood - vanished. I therefore take notice of moles in a symptom picture .

To go back to silica . On another site they have been making mother tincture of silica as laid out by a contributor called Kuldeep. It was recommended for the treatment of Acne . I was sceptical - but a number of people have used it and reported a high rate of cure - also for the scarring.

As a rather stubborn person I have always considered silica as one of "MY" remedies . I have made up some mother tincture as per instructions and am taking some of it at short intervals . Certainly something is happening . If you want to try it I'll post the instructions.
