Chronic condition is a long term illness which usually stays throughout your life unless it has been fixed with a remedy which works based on the law of similars.
Chronic diseases do not show up all of a sudden. Many times you aren’t even aware that something is changing or something is just not right in the beginning of a chronic condition. Your health starts to deteriorate gradually and one day you notice that you are not feeling the same way you used to feel years ago. When you realize your current health state, the chronic condition has already dearranged your vital force and you are no longer healthy.
What Causes a Chronic Disease?
Chronic disease often stems from a miasm. According to Hahnemannian Homeopathy the word “miasm” means the effects of microorganisms on the vital force including the symptoms that are transmitted to the following generations. These chronic miasms are capable of producing degenerative illnesses, auto-immune diseases and lead the organism toward immuno-deficiency disorders.
In the Organon he mentions three classifications of long lasting disease:
Those caused by continuing stress factors (disorders upheld by maintaining causes which by their nature are not necessarily true chronic disorders §73)
Those caused by drug toxicity and faulty treatment (physician caused §74.)
and those caused by infectious miasms (naturally caused §78).
When a chronic condition is left untreated, it continues to affect your health. Many times these chronic conditions stay there in your body in the latent form and turn up their head after you go through an adverse situation in your life.
When an acute condition is not treated properly, it can manifest into a chronic condition. Many times we often hear that people say i have never been well since
Chronic conditions can be the result of suppression of acute conditions using pharmaceutical drugs. For example the use of steroids, can result in suppressing the skin conditions and later on showing up as asthma.
When we suppress acute conditions using conventional drugs, this suppression drives things deeper into the body and they transform into another set of symptoms. Then more drugs are given to alleviate those symptoms and we get something else in return as a result of second suppression. This constant suppression of your symptoms leaves you with low vitality and weak immune system.
Besides these long term stress and environmental toxins also contribute to the development of chronic conditions.
