Susceptibility

Susceptibility is reaction of organism to external & internal influences

It’s

a

vaccum

which attracts & pulls for the things most needed that are on the same plane of vibration as the want in the body

General

inherent quality / capability of living organism of receiving impressions

Power to react to a stimuli

This reaction takes place only in living organism

Fundamental attributes of life

All functioning, vital process – Physiological / pathological depends on it

Plays important role in

Maintenance of health

Evolution of constitution

Development of diathesis, disease & its manifestations

Process of recovery & cure

Determination of dose & repetition

Evolution of drug picture

Manifestation of remedy reaction

Cure - depends on power of organism to react to the

impression

of the curative remedy

Proving - symptoms following drug intake represents the

reaction

of the susceptible organism to the specific irritant /

stimulus

administered

Homoeopathic aggravation

-which

follows administration of

curative

remedy is reaction of organisms to stimulating

action

of medicine

Susceptibility includes affinity, attraction, desire, hunger, need

which

exist & express normally as states

They may become morbid, perverted & cause disease,

suffering

& death

To satisfy susceptibility, supply need, hunger, desire, affinity,

attraction

Normal susceptibility maintains

=health

Abnormal

susceptibility-

Disease

Treatment aims at restoration of normal susceptibility

Satisfying morbid susceptibility constitutes disease

Disease demands medicine ( As hunger demands food)

Cure is simply satisfying the morbid susceptibility & putting

an

end to influx of disease producing cause

Living organism is susceptible to homogeneous/ similar

stimuli

than to dissimilar stimuli

Organism

selects elements similar to their own elements &

excretes

elements analogous those of its own basic

structure

Only similar medicine satisfies susceptibility

Susceptibility varies in degree in different patients & at

different

times in the same patient

The cause why a person succumb to a disease was in him

long

before the infection appeared

If susceptibility to a disease is sure in an

individual,that

disease is sure to come in time as air is full of disease

waiting

to be employed

He is

vaccum

for its pressure

Kind & degree of reaction to medicine depends on the

degree

of susceptibility of the patient which can

be modified

by the physician –Basis of art of physician

Physician should know

how

to modify susceptibility to satisfy the requirement of

sick

organism

where

to find the necessary modifying agents

& bring about a true cure

Size & quantity of dose depends upon degree of

susceptibility

of patient

A dose which would produce no effect upon a well person

may

cause a dangerous / distressing < in sick person

Vibration of sick individual call for something to meet the need

Homoeopathic remedy meets the susceptibility & fills the

vaccum

present

in sick.

The application of homoeopathic remedy in sickness satisfies the

natural

susceptibility

Susceptibility is greatly accentuated in sickness

Similar

potentized

remedy is always stronger than the susceptibility

so

that it fully satisfies the morbid condition

Kent’s views

Disease causes flow into man

he

can neither control nor resist & make him sick

No limit to influx cause continues to flow in

& would receive enough to kill him

When susceptibility is satisfied (resistance is offered for cause)

there

is cessation of cause & ultimate ceases

Cure & contagion are very similar & principle applying to

one

apply to other

Curative remedy must be on the same plane &

susceptibility

is to be satisfied

Dose should be sufficient to cause suspension of influx

Disease begins, Susceptibility ceases, Change takes place

which

protects from any further disease cause flowing in &

disease

develops manifesting its symptoms

Idiosyncrasy – Extreme susceptibility manifested

In

increasing potency – the capacity of drug to effect

susceptibility progressively widens

In

proving – Drug is administered till it meets the

susceptibility

& evokes the response

A

sensitive &

gracile

subject is extremely susceptible

Coarse type requires repeated stimulation through lower

potencies

Well defined characteristic picture of remedy especially in mental sphere – High susceptibility – High potency

Advanced stage of disease when pathological states have taken over – Poor susceptibility – Lower / material doses with frequent

repitition

Infant & children – Highly susceptible – Medium / high potency

Old

age – Low susceptibility – Low / medium potency with frequent repetition

In proving the remedy produces an artificial susceptibility similar to susceptibility of sick which gives the basis of similarity of remedy to sick

individual
