“You suffer from …cholesterol!”
It is a common thing nowadays to see patients anxiously running to medical laboratories to have their blood and urine checked. Then they urgently visit the doctor asking for answers: “Doctor, is my test normal? Am I sick? How severe is my case? What medicines should I take?” Blood tests are often called “health indicators” and people and often doctors, consider such tests as a measurement of the state of health/disease of a person. Is this correct? How reliable are they? Can you measure a person’s state of health from one or some or many biochemical tests?
Many times the first thing that a patient does entering a doctor’s office is to hand him the latest tests he did? And often the first and last thing that the doctor does nowadays is to diagnose and prescribe according to the tests. He gives no special credit to the patient’s history and present symptoms, he rarely does a clinical examination and he asks very little or nothing about his way of life, his present physical or psychological stresses and his character. The only thing that counts more are his “magical numbers”, that is, his blood sugar, cholesterol, uric acid, haemoglobin, haematocrit, urea, iron etc.
The worst of all is to name a person as a patient, as sick, only because he has a blood test out of normal ranges, either high or low. It is also a great mistake to set diagnosis of an illness just from one test, without any follow up to confirm the case; without taking in consideration past history, present symptoms, clinical examination and predispositions of the person. But the most irresponsible thing to do is to give chemical drugs or start a long course treatment with drugs that have many side effects “so as to cure the cholesterol” or “so as to prevent the cholesterol from going high”!
“Fish sting from the head downwards!”
Voltaire used to say: “Doctors prescribe medicines for which they know few things, for illnesses they know less about, for persons that they know nothing at all!” If you are an allopathic doctor you have learned to view a man only as a material organism. You only care about his blood tests, his x-rays, his symptoms, his biopsies and his clinical findings. You don’t take in consideration his vital energy, his psychological state, his character, his way of life, his family and job problems. You don’t see him as a whole and you don’t treat him as a whole.
Biochemical state of a man is hierarchically his last and less important state. Man is not only biochemistry. If we follow the homeopathic Law of Hierarchy first in a man is considered psychic level, then energy level and then his body. Furthermore, in physical level first is situated nervous system then hormonal system, heart and lungs, viscera, muscles and bones and last skin.
Ordinary people wisely say: “Fish sting from the head downwards!” And so does disease in a man! Disease originates first from imbalance of psychic level, then from disorder of the energy level and then from body. Furthermore, as concerns body, disorder shows itself first of all in symptoms, then in biochemical changes and then in tissue and organ findings. So it is wrong to determine a person’s state of health and moreover his treatment solely on his biochemical tests.
Let me give you a common example. A person faces financial problems or a love disappointment. He is stressed and this amounts to high cholesterol or high blood sugar or high blood pressure, high scores that he never had in the past. He goes to the doctor and the doctor tells him: “You are sick! You have three illnesses. You have cholesteremia, diabetes and hypertension! You have to take anti-diabetic drugs, anti-cholesterol drugs and anti-hypertension drugs and follow a strict diet. The patient is startled, frightened and more stressed than ever. He takes the medication, follows a strict diet and after a month he goes back to the doctor with his new tests.
“Oh”, says the doctor, “your blood tests are even worse than before! What on Earth did you do! Didn’t you follow my consultations? Do you want to die young?” The patient tries in vain to convince the doctor that he did strictly as he was told. The doctor prescribes heavier drugs in higher dosages and a more strict diet. But test results deteriorate again because the main cause of the disorder is the original stress of the patient which is even worse from the strict diet and the fear of the “severe three illnesses with the complicated scientific names” that as his doctor said threaten his life!
Holistic Diagnosis and Holistic Homeopathic Treatment
Such cases do happen and in fact often enough, just because the allopathic doctor views his patient not as a psychosomatic whole. If you act only on biochemical level by giving chemical drugs you may have superficial therapeutic results. But these results last as long as you are on medication, along of course with their many side effects. If you don’t deal with real causes of any illness then you will not have a deep and permanent therapeutic result.
This does not mean that chemical drugs for diabetes or cholesterol or hypertension are all useless. They can be even life saving at times in acute cases but they are not therapeutic drugs since they don’t remove original causes of the biochemical disorder. They can and must, most of the times, be used in urgent cases or in cases that other natural treatments fail to give results especially in elderly or weakened persons. But they shouldn’t be considered as first choice, deep and chronic treatment.
Homeopathic treatment treats the person as a psychosomatic whole mobilizing not only physical defense mechanisms but psychological as well. It also lessens predisposition for diabetes or cholesteremia or hypertension. It can and does act promptly also on biochemical and physiological level restoring disorders. Even then this does not mean that doctor shouldn’t advise the patient to lead a healthier way of life.
Physical exercise, healthy diet, rest and sleep and pleasant hobbies do help the patient to get better as a whole and this reflects directly also to his blood tests. The motto of Homeopathy is at the same time scientific and simple: “Treat the patient, not the disease!” And if we want to be more specific: “Treat the patient as a whole and not his biochemistry!”
