-    Anne Vervarcke, ' Homeopathy Strange Rare and Peculiar,'  http://www.thewhiteroom.be/Books.html   www.thewhiteroom.be (AV= Anne Vervarcke   AvdM= An van de Moortel) AvdM: What if a patient gets mentally and emotionally totally better but physical symptoms persist? AV: That’s a good question. We expect all signs and symptoms to disappear with the right remedy. Now I often come to a situation where I know the remedy is right but still the patient keeps having for example his joint pains or some headaches or poor sleep. Since we tend to consider the disappearance of physical symptoms as an objective sign that the remedy was right and thus give more importance to them; we feel the physical symptoms should go away. AvdM: But don’t you agree? Isn’t it obvious that if the symptoms don’t disappear the remedy wasn’t a similimum? AV: If they do disappear it can either be suppressive or curative. So, in general I would say that this ‘objective’ sign of the su...
