Retracement - Hering’s Law of Cure

[Guest guest]

Hi DB.

Retracement as I understand it is based on a pillar of homeopathic

doctrine--the body heals from top to bottom, inside to out and from the

most recent to the oldest.  So as you heal, old symptoms reoccur.  In

my understanding, they are generally less severe than when originally

experienced but they will come back.  The great mathematician

Fibonacci's used the term retracement in describing the direction

numbers go in finding equilibrium...which is a similar pattern to how

the body behaves in following Hering's Law as stated above/below.

Hering’s Law of Cure

Constantine Hering, M.D. (1800-1880) observed that healing occurs in a

consistent pattern. He described this pattern in the form of three

basic laws which homeopaths can use to recognize that healing is

occurring. This pattern has been recognized by acupuncturists for

hundreds of years and is also used by practitioners of herbalism and

other healing disciplines.

#   According to the first of Hering's laws, healing progresses from

the deepest part of the organism - the mental and emotional levels and

the vital organs - to the external parts, such as skin and extremities.

# Hering's second law states that, as healing progresses, symptoms

appear and disappear in the reverse of their original chronological

order of appearance. Homeopaths have consistently observed that their

patients re-experience symptoms from past conditions.

# According to Hering's third law, healing progresses from the upper to

the lower parts of the body. For instance, a person is considered to be

on the mend if the arthritic pain in his neck has decreased although he

now has pain in his finger joints.

As the symptoms change in accordance with Hering's Law, it is common

for individual symptoms to become worse than they had been before

treatment. If healing is truly in progress, the patient feels stronger

and generally better in spite of the aggravation. Before long, the

symptoms of the aggravation pass, and leave the person healthier on all

levels. (more on Herring's Law of cure)

Have you considered retracement? Perhaps that's what's going on at this

point. And while I have you, thank you for your forthrightness and clarity.<

Saralou- I googled retracement, but didn't see a medical definition, can you

explain for me?
