Better Living through (un)Chemistry

You know Conrad’s type: one whose whining tone puts your nerves on full alert before you have grasped a word of his message. When he has a question about a book or program, it aims firstly to discover how His Highness might receive an unprecedented discount or other favor. Yet this nail-on-a-chalkboard was to astonish me one afternoon by sweetly gliding into the room with an air of love and interest in what others were feeling! “Was he medicated? doing Little Theater? possessed?” I pondered. No, none of the above, it turned out.

He had been chronically sick and recently begun consulting with Susie Cooper on possible homeopathic remedies. At the time that his metamorph graced my yoga class, the health blessings from the homeopathy had yet to heal Conrad’s body, but I was already registering blessings of his treatment.

I was impelled to witness to Susie about the benefits her alchemy had unintentionally bestowed on me. “Was there some Narcissus Similosis remedy which could rework a chronic personality?” I wanted to know. She was not about to divulge any particulars about an individual case. But she did explain that Homeopathic Medicine, when applied in its classic, constitutional form, is a most wholistic therapy, working at the deepest levels of a person. Homeopathic therapy’s method is not to manipulate either physique or personality, but rather to enable both to express their most positive, most powerful natures—the original beauty and health of the spirit.

My B.C. understanding of homeopathy (Before Conrad) had been limited to the idea of offering an off-the-counter bottle of Rescue Remedy to someone in distress. Now I come to appreciate why Susie has spent years dealving deeply into the constitutional analysies of Homeopathy’s vibrational healing.

I also come to anticipate psychological as well as physical breakthroughs in natrual health through Homeopathy. May it someday offer potent alternatives to Prozac? to Valium? May it lead to a more natural, less chemical psychiatry? So we may hope—we who would rather not use brain-numbing as the primary psychotherapy if we can instead help a person to sprout natural seeds of perfection. Praise be to the intuition that urged me to recruit Susie Cooper for our staff at the Center. © Richard Pinneau, 1996.
