Provings
Question: Dear Dr. Luc, it is frequently said that provings keep healthy
and even provide longevity. How is this possible if only the simillimum
can cure ? Thanks for your insight, Katja
Answer: Dear Katja. Excellent question. And indeed we only have to look at
Hahnemann's longevity (89 years old in his time!) after proving more than
100 remedies on himself. Here too we see the subtle difference between a
cure and prevention or the exercising of your Vital Force or Qi. Each time
we do a proving (with 30C as preferred potency), the Votal Force is asked
to react to it, and deal with the subtle attack. However as the dose and
potency are small, and repetition infrequently, the Vital Force is able to
overcome this "assault" or "exercise" and therefore only got stronger. The
time to react to it depends of course also on the Nature of the patient (A
281). And we should not give 1M potencies in those provings as Kent did
(see Lesser Writings opf Kent) where he aggravated a lady with lachesis
for three months. Similar results are also obtained when the true
constitution of the patient is given. It strenthens the overall health of
the patient.As long as the provings are conducted like Hahnemann did,
indeed the patient's health improves rather than declining.
Warmest regards
Dr luc
