Most of the diseases are chronic, very few are acute. Acute means a very rapid onset, a climax, and a very rapid resolution. You don't need a physician to deal with it, except in extreme cases where the body can not handle on its own and you might die. They are caused by physical factors: wounds, accidents, poisonings, wrong diet, wrong life-style, or epidemics such as cholera, typhoid, flu…

Chronic diseases are those health problems that linger and deepen as we get older. They never, ever get better. There may be times when you feel better, but the problem is still there. They come back again and they are the same, or bringing a new set of symptoms, but progressively worse.

Homeopathy can be very effective for numerous chronic conditions considered untreatable by conventional medicine. This includes any long-term physical or emotional problems, as well as illnesses which return time and time again. It is also appropriate for those who have problems that bother them, even though no disease can be diagnosed.

The human body is a remarkable organism that will go to great extremes to protect itself and survive. Our various symptoms are evidence of this process, and our differing symptoms - physical, emotional and mental - represent different levels of defense that our body is deploying in an effort to survive.

Generally, there are two main important aspects of chronic diseases, suppression and inheritance. Unlike conventional medicine, which feels that the elimination of the symptom is the same as elimination of the disease, homeopathy says that even minor diseases, if suppressed by chemical drugs, they are pushed to a deeper level, paving the way for chronic disease.

For example, if you get a rash, you are given cortisone and the rash disappears. Later when you start having a kidney infection you will be treated with antibiotics and the kidney disease will be 'cured'. Years later you might get chronic fatigue or depression and you will be treated with anti-depressants. All this time nobody makes the connection: when a disease is suppressed it goes deeper and deeper, and just take another form. There is no cure, just a push of the initial disease to a deeper level.

With homeopathic treatment, according to Hering Law, healing would first remove the depression problem, next the kidney infection, and finally the rash. In other words, if treated homeopathically, the symptoms will disappear in reverse order of their appearance. This might alarms the patient who will complain that he came to treat his depression and now he end up with kidneys problems and later with the rash. But these are sure signs that healing is under way.

A very important concept to understand is susceptibility. Disease takes a hold when we are susceptible, have a predisposition to it. It is not something that affects us completely out of the blue. In many cases, emotional or physical stresses, or the environment in which we live or work, make us susceptible to illnesses that otherwise might not affect us.

In modern terms, we are talking about genetically inherited tendencies that come to us from our parents, grandparents and the many generations before which were affected by major diseases. We all carry these 'imprints' which create susceptibility in our organism, opening the door for specific diseases to take place.

It is important to understand that when we talk about chronic disease, we talk about energetic level, because this is the place where resides the root of them. At physical, emotional or mental level we see only the manifestation not the cause/root, and if we don't eliminate the root then we will treat them forever.

And because the root resides at energetic level then the most efficient way to eliminate it is to use energetic medicine, which uses energetic remedies. They are the only ones which can reach the energetic level, the seat of any chronic disease.
