Re: Iodine stopped but what is this yellow ooze?
Homeopathy sees illness as layers; when we work with a patient we want to see healing that goes from inner to outer "layer" (not the opposite as doc`s meds do)
Lets say you have a child with excema. You go to the doc and get a steroide cream for it, and within a week or three the rash is gone. Repeated courses of steroide cream are taken and it works.
After a year or three the child developes asthma, the rash can now be gone.
If this child comes to a homeopath with asthma we know that before this child gets well, she has to go through a period with excema again, as the illness simply have gon from the outside to the lungs. The parents has to be explained this; as for them that would look as a worsening.
Skin is the outer layer, the least "important" for the body, that tries to protect its heart, lung, inner organs before anything. Limbs are also less important than the head.
The innermost layer is the mental / you mind. I have worked at a mental hospital, and the patients there was next to never physically ill, despite a rather crappy diet, smoking, tons of drugs etc.
If a homeopath would get the chance to treat a mentally ill,and succeed, the patient would have to go through a phase where physical illness would manifest.
The same happens with
Iodine protocol if done right; I had a two months period where I was "ill" a lot / the detox period.
But this was not serious illness; it was minor infections, fevers, colds etc, while the body repaired itself from within (higher temperature, energy was better, brain become sharper).
What made me continue was the knowledge I had from my homeopathic education; knowing about the layers and what kind of worsening that is "good".
