Simplified explanation of Aphorism 64
Two types of action under primary action.
Vital force receives active action of medicines in passive manner, letting alteration in its state of health, either -
A. It produces exact opposite condition of health, provided exact opposite is present in nature and its intensity is proportional to intensity of medicinal action, (Secondary action, counter action is directly proportional to primary action in- time, duration, intensity, degree, etc.) or;
B. If exact opposite is not present in nature, vital force in- differentiates itself to make its superior power available in extinction of the change brought by medicines, in place of which it substitutes its normal state.
Secondary action is the reaction of vital force against the primary action of the drug substance.
Eg. The secondary action of a pergetave is more constipation.
The secondary action can be divided into two types:
1. Secondary counter action:
This action is exactly and opposite condition to that of primary action. It is this mode of action which has been taken a by the antibiotic mode of treatment to bring about a cure. The drug bears and opposite relation to the disease
Eg. A person suffering from constipation is given a drop to produce diarrhoea and after the primary action of the drug has worn out, the patients suffers from a more severe state of constipation.
2. Secondary curative action:
In this type of secondary action the vital force is enable to produce an exact opposite condition to the one pre existing. It happens that the drug administred bears a similar relation with the disease already prevailing. In such cases the action helps the vital force to become free of the artificial disease produced by the drug. This reaction of the vital force of the living organism is such that normal health is re-established. This secondary curative action is observed under the homeopathic mode of treatment.
Eg. A person suffering from loose motions is given such a drug which is keypad of producing loose motions and this result in a secondary curative action which finally brings about a permanent cure.
