Let us not deny the evidence of cure because of the source of the healing. A reputation is generally at stake with the process of cure and must sometimes give the illusion that it is handling more than it is while other methods that might be at work are primitive, untested, exotic, unscientific, or un-American. This can be a cure that is the result of an MD’s alien technology or a ethnically based night of witchcraft. A cure by means other than homeopathy is still a cure. And if homeopathy doesn’t create the cure that we are looking for we must look at what the body is telling us about our methods. It is a learning process and we must have the ability to fail if we are to know the possibility and certainty of its success.
The nature of a cure is that it will restore the organism to health which can be evidenced by the regaining of daily energy and the sustained lack of the evidence of disease. It is not enough to eliminate the offending symptom for a month or two. The battle to have a stronger medicine than the symptom is called disease management which is the prevailing way to handle chronic disease. As long as the substance can prevent the emergence of the symptom and not cause to much harm, the result is seen as arithmetically better. When the medicinal power subsides, the substance has to be restored.
