Suppression Versus Cure

Suppression occurs when a treatment apparently removes symptoms on one

level, but causes them to appear at a different, often deeper, level. If

the body is prevented from expressing symptoms on a more superficial level,

it may have no other recourse than to generate symptoms at a deeper one.

Many common treatments in orthodox medicine, such as hydrocortisone cream

for eczema, laser treatment for venereal warts, or antihistamines for

allergy-induced nasal discharge, are potentially suppressive. Some people

can receive these conventional medications and interventions without

experiencing suppression. For others, the treatment will make the person

even sicker.

Helen

Helen, age 53, developed an acute skin condition called erythema nodosum at

age 30. A large, red, irritated area appeared on one of her legs. She was

hospitalized and given intravenous antibiotics and corticosteroids. Shortly

after she was discharged from the hospital, she began to feel pain in her

joints. This pain, diagnosed as arthritis, plagued her for more than twenty

years. It was only when she sought homeopathic care that her arthritis was

considerably relieved. As her joint pains improved, Helen briefly

re-experienced a rash similar to erythema nodusum on her face and hands.

The rash went away and so did her joint pains.

The phenomenon of suppression has been observed by homeopaths since the

time of Hahnemann and has become much more prevalent due to the increasing

strength of pharmaceuticals and widespread self-treatment with topical

hydrocortisone preparations. Whether or not a treatment will be suppressive

depends on your state of health, the strength of your resistance to

disease, and the intensity and duration of the treatment.

Another common way that suppression occurs is through the use of products

such as antiperspirants and antihistamines. Discharges are the body’s way

to vent waste and the products of disease. In certain susceptible

individuals, suppressing a discharge will lead to more serious health

problems.

, age 9, was brought to us by his parents because of left hip pain

which caused him to limp. He had received conventional care, even hip

surgery, without relief. He was a sensitive and delicate child and fit the

picture of the homeopathic medicine, Silica (flint). Soon after receiving

the medicine, the hip pain quickly resolved. We did not see again for

two years. At that time, his parents brought him back for another visit.

His hip pain had been completely gone until the previous few weeks, then

suddenly returned for no apparent reason. When we questioned

thoroughly, he told us that he had begun to have body odor recently and

that his mother had bought him an antiperspirant. Soon after he started

using it, his hip pain returned. Patients needing Silica are particularly

susceptible to illness from suppressed perspiration. He stopped using the

antiperspirant, we repeated the Silica, and his hip pain again went away

quickly.

Your body, in its attempt to keep your symptoms at the most superficial

level possible, frequently develops skin eruptions as its first defense.

Infants may develop eczema, either at birth or when they are first

introduced to cow’s milk or formula. If the cow’s milk is removed or the

child is treated homeopathically, the eczema will usually resolve readily.

If the child’s eczema is treated with hydrocortisone cream, the eruption

and itch disappear, but the allergic tendency remains. Homeopaths have

observed that infants treated in this way may go on to develop asthma, a

more serious allergic condition. Although the eczema is gone, the child is

much less healthy. If suppression continues, with more hydrocortisone being

given to suppress the asthma, then a deeper mental and emotional problem,

such as severe depression, may eventually occur.

The body has a reason for generating particular symptoms as part of its

attempt to cure the illness. Some medical doctors are beginning to

recognize this phenomenon of suppression in childhood asthma. In a study

published in the medical journal Pediatrics in 1991, the authors speculated

that a type of paralysis in asthmatic children may in fact be due to

suppression by asthma medications such as steroids.

SUPPRESSION OF SYMPTOMS

Homeopaths are trained to look at a person's health history as an evolution

of the expression of the vital force. Symptoms, illnesses and their

treatment, along with a history of emotional traumas or griefs during an

earlier period of life, are understood to have a vital impact on the

current state of health.

Sometimes a symptom that was eliminated by an operation or strong

medication, or a strong emotion that was never expressed, will be

transformed into a deeper level of disease in the person. This phenomena is

called " suppression. " In our present society, suppression is a very

frequent phenomenon.

The most typical cases involve skin diseases - rashes, eczema, psoriasis or

acne - that have been treated with topical ointments. Sometime later, a

chronic allergy or respiratory problem may occur. When that is treated

conventionally, the vital force expresses itself through yet another

disease. And so, years later, a deep-seated chronic condition is established.

Under homeopathic care, such cases often begin to reverse themselves. An

asthmatic patient will notice an old skin rash reappear as their breathing

improves. Or a person with migraines relives a grief was never expressed.

Although this may cause consternation in the patient, it really is a sign

that the case is moving forward.

Hi Anita,

I use a rock crystal deodorant, have done for the past three or four years

and wouldn't use anything else. You are not suppressing because these

sticks do not prevent perspiration. Deodorants in general are not

suppressive, just full of chemicals. Antiperspirants are suppressive - they

are *anti* and like Sheri says, anything *anti* is suppressive.

HTH.

Hi ne,

It's different because it is a naturally-occurring product as opposed to

something produced by the pharmaceutical industry that is loaded with toxic

chemicals. The worse offender is aluminium and many people (self included)

believe that it can contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer.

Statistically, there has been an increase in the number of men suffering

from breast cancer that is in line with the number of men using underarm

deodorants and antiperspirants. Have a look at this site

http://lemonburst.co.uk/acatalog/Lemonburst_Crystal_Body_Deodorant_12.html -

it is a UK site, but you get the general idea.

This looks like a US link http://www.kombuchapower.com/deodorant_stone.htm

You are not asking annoying questions - we all have to start somewhere and

most of us have accumulated this sort of knowledge from experience over a

lot of years. Once you start asking questions, you will never stop....and

you'll never stop learning. But if you want to chat a lot about OT stuff -

and we all do! - try joining us on the OT4VAX group - see the link in my

siggy line. Nothing is OT there. )

HTH.

Love, light and peace,
