Special Report from Vithoulkas

George Vithoulkas has published a very important article in the conventional medical journal in USA once a month "Medical Science Monitor."

We think it is imperative that all homeopaths should read this important article. It has been said by conventional physicians that this article demolishes everything to which conventional medicine believes.

Summary
This essay’s theme was inspired by a question asked by a child: ‘Why do I get ill?’ The question isvery interesting, but has no easy answer. This paper discusses a few possible answers to this difficultquestion. Through the life of a person, from birth to death, there is a “continuum” in the pathologicalconditions a person may experience. The body, as a whole, suffers deeply any time thereis an acute or a chronic condition that is either maltreated or neglected. Chronic and acute diseasesin the medical history of a person constitute a rigidly related chain of immune responses inthe form of a real “continuum” that at every point in time indicates the end result of this continuum.The idea promoted here is that suppression of diseases, through excess of chemical drugs orother means, many times overwhelms the body’s natural defenses and forces the immune systemto compromise and start a deeper line of defense, which then constitute the beginning of a newchronic condition. Thus, the original inflammation of an acute condition may continue as a subacuteinflammatory process on a deeper level.Acute inflammatory conditions must therefore be treated very carefully from their beginnings inchildhood in order not to force the immune system to compromise. It is also suggested here thatall chronic degenerative conditions have a sub-acute inflammatory character, and that “inflammation”constitutes the main common parameter of all diseases.
