ORGANON APHORISM \u00a7231<\/span><\/h3>\n

The\u00a0INTERMITTENT DISEASES<\/strong>\u00a0deserve a special consideration, as well those that recur at certain periods\u2014like the great number of intermittent fevers, and the apparently non-febrile affections that recur at intervals like intermittent fevers\u2014as also those in which certain morbid states alternate at uncertain intervals with morbid states of a different kind.<\/p>\n

These latter, ALTERNATING diseases, are also very numerous,but all belong to the class of chronic diseases; they are generally a manifestation of developed psora alone, sometimes, but seldom, complicated with a syphilitic miasm, and therefore in the former case may be cured by antipsoric medicines; in the latter, however, in alternation with antisyphilitics as taught in my work on the\u00a0CHRONIC DISEASES<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

ORGANON APHORISM \u00a7233<\/span><\/h3>\n

The\u00a0TYPICAL INTERMITTENT DISEASES<\/strong>\u00a0are those where a morbid state of unvarying character returns at a tolerably fixed period, whilst the patient is apparently in good health, and takes its departure at an equally fixed period; this is observed in those apparently non-febrile morbid\u00a0STATES THAT COME<\/strong>\u00a0and go in a periodical manner (at certain times), as well as in those of a febrile character, to wit, the numerous varieties of intermittent fevers.<\/p>\n

ORGANON APHORISM \u00a7234<\/span><\/h3>\n

Those apparently non-febrile, typical, periodically recurring morbid states just alluded to observed in one single patient at a time (they do not usually appear sporadically or epidemically) always belong to the chronic diseases, mostly to those that are purely psoric, are but seldom complicated with syphilis, and are successfully treated by the same means; yet it is sometimes necessary to employ as an intermediate remedy a small dose of a potentized solution of cinchona bark, in order to extinguish completely their intermittent type.<\/p>\n

ORGANON APHORISM \u00a7235<\/span><\/h3>\n

With regard to the\u00a0INTERMITTENT FEVERS<\/strong>, that prevail sporadically or epidemically (not those endemically located in marshy districts), we often find every paroxysm likewise composed of two opposite alternating states (cold, heat\u2014heat, cold), more frequently still of three (cold, heat, sweat). Therefore the remedy selected for them from the general class of proved (common, not antipsoric) medicines must either (and remedies of this sort are the surest) be able likewise to produce in the healthy body two (or all three) similar alternating states, or else must correspond by similarity of symptoms, in the most homeopathic manner possible, to the strongest, best marked, and most peculiar alternating state (either to the cold stage, or to the hot stage, or to the sweating stage, each with its accessory symptoms, according as the one or other alternating state is the strongest and most peculiar) ; but the symptoms of the patient’s health during the intervals when he is free from fever must be the chief guide to the most appropriate homeopathic remedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
