What does the following mean in homeopathic medicine???

Question

That is the correct way to administer the remedy but unless you are succussing each time it is the same potency which means that you are probably going to prove it, or show marked accesory symptoms.

Answer 1

A non-believer in homeopathy cannot explain the phenomena to you as is evident from the 3 answers received.

What it means is that if the symptoms are absent in the patient and the same potency and remedy are repeated a number of times; the patient will start (proving) showing the symptoms of that medicine or show similar (accessory) symptoms e.g. Glonoine is homeopathically made from TNT and is used to treat heat/sun stroke symptoms where patient is restless and has great thirst and a hammering/throbbing headache. If 3 doses of Glonoine 30 are administered to a healthy person at 15 minutes interval; the very same symptoms would show in the healthy individual; this is called proving.

In Homeopathy we prescribe only those medicines whose medicinal properties are known through 'drug proving'. Drug proving is a systematic investigation of pathogenic (disease-producing ) power of medicine on healthy human being of different ages, both sexes and of various constitutions. These recordings of drug proving give the only reliable knowledge of medicines which is very essential to cure disease homeopathically. Different medicines must be proved thoroughly in order to obtain full details of their curative properties. The drug must be proved on human beings because:

1. Animals do not give subjective or mental symptoms.
2. Effects of the same drug on animals and on human beings are different.
3. We do not get the modalities and finer symptoms in animal provings.

The drug must be proved on the healthy human being because:

1. The symptoms of the drug and the disease will be mixed together.
2. Moreover, the action of the drug on the sick person is different from normal person.

Answer 2

Its the only kind of medicine that can actually help you, the nay sayers are just full of crap they give the same chant for every question about Homeopathy while they know next to nothing about it. I am speaking with my experience and that of my family and friends, they nay sayers have never ever even tried homeopathy and they are ready to sat negative things about it. Just paid propaganda nothing else. I would suggest you go ahead with homeopathic remedies and they will help you I have not seen them fail yet despite all the propaganda against them and I have been using them for more then 35 years now. Never have they failed. Best regards.

Answer 3

(1) Succussing it means repeatedly shaking it vigorously and banging it down on a hard surface. Succussing the remedy is said to release the energy in the drug.

(2) The statement may relate to a homeopathic system of dilution called the fifty millesimal dose system, or LM for short.
This is said to allow for the potency of the remedy to be increased fractionally at every dose, so slightly increasing the potency each time. There are various ways of administering it, but usually it will be a variation of the following.

The patient receives a bottle in which a drop of the original LM potency has been dissolved in water. Before taking anything out of this bottle, the patient is told how to succuss it. Every dose taken from it is preceded by succussing the bottle. There is less and less liquid in the bottle as the days go by, and if the succussing is done correctly, the same successive force is directed onto a decreasing quantity of dilutant, increasing its potency.

The liquid removed from the bottle is dissolved in (typically) 8 more tablespoons of purified water, stirred vigorously. From this the patient takes only one teaspoonful, discarding the rest.

Answer 4

Considering that is pseudo-scientific jargon I wouldn't worry about it because homeopathic remedies are crap anyway. The only effect you'd ever get is a placebo effect.

The idea behind homeopathic remedies is that the material, whatever it is, is somehow energised with the properties of the healing agent. In other words, if you were to boil some willow bark tea (aspirin) and then mix it with a huge vat of purified water so that it's diluted so much you can't taste the bitterness anymore then bottle it in small little bottles, you could sell that as a homeopathic remedy for headaches. "Experts" will tell you that the water somehow took on the properties of the willow bark tea and now it will cure headaches in the same way the tea would.

And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

Answer 6

It's all bull crap anyway, so you can safely ignore it. Essentially, Homeopaths think you have to tap or 'succuss' the solution between serial dilutions; this is somehow supposed to activate or enhance the power of the magic water. Otherwise, somehow diluting the solution doesn't really dilute it because the magic vibrations don't get transferred or something like that. To 'prove' or test a compound means to consume macroscopic (i.e. detectable) levels and then attributing *EVERY* tiny tic or symptom of any kind for the next few days to the compound, as though every other substance and influence in the universe had suddenly ceased to operate.

It's pseudo-scientific jargon intended to confuse people and distract from the fact that it's all a bunch of crap.

Answer 7

I'm with the others. It's complete bunk. See these links. The 1st is an entire site devoted to debunking; the 2nd explains why people think it works.
