Incompatable reacttions

Acetic acid and vinegar have been used successfully to antidotes strong drugs likes Aconite, Anaesthetics, Opium, Stramonium and Tobacco. But if used against some others like Belladonna and Arnica., They increase the sufferings
Coffee is a fairly common antidotes to many drugs yet it increases the excitement and frenzy produced by Cantharis. It complicates cases of Colchicum. Coffee and Chamomilla are in the same group and are likely to upset the effects of one another.
A weakness that may be only remaining complaint after some proving or poisoning may indicate China, which drug does not help in the majority of cases. But once in a way, it increases the sufferings ( if the previous drug was too similar?)
Hahnemann' says Cinchona bark given for the debility produced by Ledum is very injurious ( Ledum is an antidote to Cinchona)
I saw a very bad case of cholera a typical Veratrum alb 200 every 15 minutes three doses. Next day, just to remove the residual debility, seen gave China 30 . Within half an hr the patient started purging again. China must have been an incompatible remedy to Veratrum. Again Veratrum 200; one dose stopped the trouble. After two days Acid phos 6th acted a good pickup to the debilitated patient..
When a prescription is made without the knowledge of the previous treatment. This happens when a patient goes from one Homoeopath to another.The new dr, gets a bad name when his very first prescription upset the patient terribly.Kent says IT is often a hardship for a patient to fall into the hands of a second dr.It is a very common thing for patients to come to me from the hand of good prescribers. I tell them to stay with their Dr. Such changing is often determental to the patient, unless he brings a full record and this is specifically true in relation to a case that has been partially relieved where the remedy has acted properly
A patient having repeated attacks of some trouble improving gradually under treatment with a powerful antipsoric given in asending potencies at long intervals, accidentally takes another remedy ( even in a low potency) in one of these attacks. The whole curative process gets upset. The cases of DRS Gladwin and Clarke mentioned above are typical examples.
During Homoeopathic treatment certain foods do not go well with the remedy. Even things that may usually disagree only slightly act more harmfully during the active phase of the remedial action. Mrs J .T.Kent the untiring co-worker of Dr.Kent has beautifully elaborated this what the patient shall eat and drink must be selected with due regard to the remedy he is taking and his own constitutional demands. When your patient is under the influence of either Carbo veg or Pulsatilla, you will not be surprised if the stomach becomes wonderfully disordered after eating fats or greasy rich food, when your patient has been many days under Bryonia, LYC or Petroleum and he comes in and complaints of an unusually disordered stomach, you may often hit the nail on the head by saying you must have been eating cabbage. Those who have been drinking coffee a long time without any disturbance or wakeful nights will report to you that your medicine has caused them much disturbance, you look up the record and find that you have given them Chamomilla or Nux vom and you will be compelled to request your patient to discontinue coffee at once. Coffee must never be used when China or Nux is the remedy. It would be equally true if you were treating a nervous paralytic with Causticum you would find your patient greatly disturbed by coffee, and you would get no curative action from Causticum. It is very important to warn patients against indulging in cold and frozen foods after giving ARS alb LYC Nux Rhus tox or Pulsatilla. IT is well to warn patients under the influence of Thuja to avoid oysters for a while. Patients suddenly disturbed From drinking milk if under the influence of Calc carb, Nit acid or Sepia and be sure to warn patients under the influence of Ant crud to avoid sour things, vinegar and sour wine. Be sure to tell mothers whose children are under the influence of Ignatia or Argt to keep candy away from them or you will have disordered stomach and diarrhoea to contend with which may interfere with the management of the deeper seated troubles. How wonderfully she has selected the correct phrase. When under the influence of.... Because after the cure, the patient can eat those very things with impunity. Only when under infulance (action) of the remedy are the patients hypersensitive to those incompatible foods. Kent's Materia Medica is also full of such precious advice.
