We are cutting off the manifestation of disease and are doing nothing to set in order the vital energy or to prevent further disease manifestations. These diseased conditions have developed as an expression of the inward turmoil and distress under which the whole individual suffers. These are but a few of the common suppressions caused by either physicians or laymen, of from circumstances, and but a few of the form that are constantly met. It is the privilege of the hom opathic physician to relieve these distressed conditions and to set the vital energy in order, thus enabling it to function properly. No greater crime can be committed against the human economy than to aid and abet these suppressions, for these may be the direct cause of many constitutional diseases, and the symptoms are in their natural state always the expression of constitutional conditions.
Suppression is the source of many functional disturbances.
