Aphorism 30


Aphorism 30
Proposition of Modus Operandi of Homoeopathic cure. In last line of previous aphorism, it was mentioned that the probable explanation which Dr. Hahnemann was going to put forward is based on proposition which is mentioned here. Dr. Hahnemann here says that human body is more powerfully affected in health by medicines as compared to that of natural disease 

1. Partly because regulation of dose of medicine is under our control 
2. Partly because natural diseases are cured and overcome by suitable medicines.

 ► In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that short duration of action of medicine is comparable to acute miasm like small pox, measles etc., contrary to chronic miasms - Psora, Syphilis and Sycosis, which after effecting organism once is not removed by irrational effort of instinctive vital force unless treated by stronger anti miasmatic medicines. But in case of acute miasm after affecting organism, it cures previously existing similar disease and leaves the organism spontaneously and permanently after running its natural course.

Explained of Aphorism 89 Need of asking special questions.  When the patient has finished on his own accord his story of suffering and has answered to the questions of physician, but physician thinks that he had not made complete picture of disease then he is at liberty to ask some special questions.  Physician has to rely on patient for description of his sensation of suffering unless it is a case of malingering.
