The Significance of Follow-up
Why I decided to write on follow up?
We have seen many cases in seminars and read in books and magazines of cases that have shown good results and success. Every one will happy for all those results if they have followed  Hering’s law of cure and also the miasm. But many times, they show only the prescription and declare that the patient has been cured. Any one will wonder, ”Is this ok?” Is only removal of symptoms from the patient considered to be the cure?

Many times in seminars, they have shown on the video, that the symptoms have disappeared.  However, it is difficult to digest and satisfied with the patient’s overall looks as well as his behaviour.  Despite the patient narrating that he is happy, his problems have disappeared, and that he is not in pain, simultaneously, he looks weak, or has a dull or sad face or at times, looks older than his age. Many times, they declare the patient is cured but after some time he comes out with a new grave disease, manifesting for the first time. This is not as per Aphorism 2 which states that, “The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and
most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles”- Organon Of Medicine by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann
