Man is affected in the internals and in every cell. Every cell has all the planes. Every cell is what man is as a 'Whole. This elevates the thought to the curative principles. Hahnemann says it is strange that medicine in the old times could not go in the opposite way from that which it took and perceive these things.
Crude drugs produce the opposite effects from the attenuated dose.
The primary action of a drug represents the effect of the crude drug. The effect of the attenuated dose is similar to what would be experienced long after taking the crude form. In attenuated form, primary and secondary effects, opposite effects, are found. The attraction of matter and repulsion of light account for these effects. It may be that one of a material cast of mind may perceive that these things are true and thus the mind can be elevated to think higher than the fingers and toes.
