What is the responsibility of the patient who undertakes homeopathic treatment?
Of all the symptoms a patient may have, the homeopath observes only about 10%. The remaining 90% of the symptoms must be reported to the homeopath by the patient. As such it is important that the patient learn to observe themselves and their life in a manner that is uncommon for most people. For example, reporting to the homeopath that you feel ‘bad’ is of no use. Instead, reporting that you feel ‘shooting slivers of white heat racing up the skin of your right forearm’ is excellent reporting. Another responsibility of the patient is to avoid expectations of quick fixes. Although sometimes astounding quick results do take place, these should not be expected. Particularly in chronic illnesses the patient must be prepared to wait. In the process of improving the patient’s health through strengthening of the vitality, the symptoms may in fact worsen temporarily. Usually this is short lived and an opportunity to consult with your homeopath; but not to scurry back to allopathic medicine for
