Return to the Outline

185. Local maladies appear on external parts of the body. That they stand alone is absurd.

186. Problems which are "local" and have been produced from without have great effect on the whole living organism. When mechanical aid is needed, then surgery is required (setting bones, bringing skin together, extracting foreign objects, etc.) but the whole living organism requires dynamic aid to accomplish the work of healing.

187. But "local" manifestations that are not produced by external injury have their source within the body. To see them and treat them as external is as absurd as it is pernicious.

188. It is absurd to think that living organisms know nothing of these external problems.

189. All external maladies (except injuries) come about as a result of an internal diseased state.

190. All treatments, therefore, must be directed against the whole.

191. This is confirmed through experience.

192. All changes, not just the local affliction, must be taken into account when determining the remedy.

193. When the dose is taken, the general morbid state of the body is cured, and with it, the local affliction-- which was an inseparable part of the whole disease.

194. In local diseases it is of no use to apply remedies locally for the topical affliction, even if it is the same remedy that is used internally. If the vital force was not competent to restore full health, then the acute disease was a manifestation of latent psora which has now burst forth.
