What we would like to know is, has the constitution been affected so drastically as to bring about a change in Activity, other Generals and thermals, thirst and mentals. This means, how has the constitution reacted to the ACUTE ILLNESS?
If, and only if, the Generals, the thermals, the thirst and the Mentals have changed from the ‘original’ then, and only then, should the patient require something different from the original constitutional drug.
This means that if there is change in ACTIVITY of a person the Generals have changed.
If there is a change in tolerance to Heat and Cold – the THERMALS have changed.
If there is a change in water intake, – the Thirst is changed.
If there is a change in Mental attitudes e.g. irritability, anxiety, etc., – the ‘MENTALS’ have changed.
Thus, the ACTIVITY-THERMAL-THIRST
(MENTAL) AXIS has changed.
A new remedy which is ‘Similimum’ to the
new Activity-Thermal-Thirst Mental Axis is required to bring about a ‘cure’ on the basis of our cardinal principle of SIMILIA.
