Organon of medicine aphorism 1

  Aphorism 1  The physician's high and only mission is to restore the sick to health, to cure, as it is termed.1 1 His mission is not, however, to construct so-called systems, by interweaving empty speculations and hypotheses concerning the internal essential nature of the vital processes and the mode in which diseases originate in the interior of the organism, (whereon so many physicians have hitherto ambitiously wasted their talents and their time); nor is it to attempt to give countless explanations regarding the phenomena in diseases and their proximate cause (which must ever remain concealed), wrapped in unintelligible words and an inflated abstract mode of expression, which should sound very learned in order to astonish the ignorant - whilst sick humanity sighs in vain for aid.

Seven Homeopathic Remedies for Sore Throat and Tonsillitis

Seven Homeopathic Remedies for Sore Throat and Tonsillitis An acute sore throat can come with a range of symptoms, from soreness and irritation, to swelling, burning and difficulty swallowing.  You may also have a fever, and sometimes throat infections are accompanied by pain in the ears, headache and fatigue.  Acute throat infections are considered to be either viral or bacterial (Strep throat), and in either case the conventional treatment is typically with antibiotics. If you have symptoms of an acute sore throat, with or without swollen tonsils, homeopathy can help.  Homeopathic treatment works with your body, leading to prompt recovery and quickly reducing pain and discomfort.   As always, the proviso with home treatment is this: if symptoms persist, or there is any cause for concern (if you are very unwell, or there is difficulty with breathing or swallowing, for example), seek medical help without delay.

Since vitamin B12 contains the mineral cobalt, it's sometimes known as cobalamin. photo of vitamin b12 lab test A blood test can find out whether your B12 levels are normal.  Your body doesn't make B12, so you have to get it from foods of animal origin, like meat, or from supplements.
