Toxins
When do we let toxins come out of the body?
Toxins are in all of us, especially in today's environment. It is not smart to force them out without first making sure the patient is not nutrient deficient or too weak to be able to handle the ordeal. Nutrify first! Take the right nutrients to get strong first, then detoxify, but do it under the guidance of a professional. People who are deeply sick or old and weak must be careful. When you read about fasting it sounds so great and the testimonials are so inspiring that you want to do it right away. Wrong. Seek advice first. Be smart about it. As toxins leave the body they do it in a hundred different ways. It takes a seasoned homeopath to recognize the myriad of ways that toxins manifest.
Hahnemann, the originator of Homeopathy, said that his least favorite type of specialist was a dermatologist. Many times toxins and old diseases leave the body through manifesting eruptions on the skin, from warts, to rashes and blemishes of all kinds. Skin biopsies are done to determine the types of cells comprising the eruption and to give the condition a Latin name. All the names available tell you nothing of the cause of the eruption, the growth. But patients love to have a name applied to a condition, as if it means that at least somebody knows what it is. But nobody knows what it is without a study of suppression. What if a rash is a suppressed mental state of depression, then the rash is the manifestation of depression only it is in the sphere of the physical body now! See? However, it is convenient for Homeopaths to see a dermatological patient after they have a name applied to their condition, it makes it easier for us to look up the condition in the Repertory compendium, but we hope to see the patient before they have filled their prescription; since the prescription will only suppress the condition.
Even the middle ear, which can form puss, is a venue for escape of puss from the body. In the old days, ear drums would perforate, the exudate (puss) would drain from the ear and the ear drum would heal up afterward. Today we are told this would cause hearing loss but studies published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) have shown that antibiotics are the major culprit of hearing loss. In studies done, those that did not allow the puss to drain down the Eustachian tube, or perforate through the ear drum, suffered more hearing loss from antibiotic use more than those who did not take antibiotics.
In fact, another study showed that for many patients interviewed outside the doctor's office after they had just had their ears looked at with an otoscope, and were then re-examined with an otoscope by another physician, found that 40% of those who were told there was some redness in the ear, and were prescribed antibiotics, did NOT have any redness at all. It appears patients want to have objective proof. In other words they want someone, the physician, to say, “Yes, I do see something there”. This is what the medical profession calls ‘objectifying the diagnosis’. If the physician did NOT see redness, and hence did not prescribe antibiotics, the patient or parent of the child would assume the problem had not been found by the doctor and that maybe they should get a second opinion.
