Q

cancer at grocery store

A

Actually, they introduced themselves to me, being social. Chocolate in their cart. Colorful, creative outfit with a spot of lunch on the shirt. If the weather was stormy we’d stay in and listen to the rain. I’d make something vegetarian until I was sure they were not. They would not voice a preference. If I were to take them to a restaurant, it would be some seafood place on the beach.

Q

Define “suppression” homeopathically and how does the Vital Force handle suppression

A

Suppression is any form of “cure” that actually aborts the progress of patient towards health.
The body shows its troubles only thru symptoms, and when these symptoms are treated on a superficial level and suppressed the Vital Force must deal with the problem somewhere else, in some other way. Like getting a different kind of cancer, even though you had parts removed to avoid it.

Q

DO we treat all Alzheimer or MS patients with a SYPHILITIC remedy? Why? Or why not?

A

NO. We can classify diseases as their symptoms RELATE to certain miasms, BUT we must always give a remedy that addresses the PATIENT’S state if we are to remove the symptoms of the disease.
