Abstract
Introduction: a paradigmatic familial case demonstrating the rules of Homeopathy in curing illnesses. Case description: a two-year-old girl, suffering from a juvenile idiopathic arthritis and her eight-year-old brother, affected by a serious genital and retroauricolar haernorrhagic cheratotic dermatitis, were both cured exclusively with homeopathic remedies. Interestingly the girl's joint disease has improved with Bryonia remedy together with the orsening and spreading of her skin eruption (typical evolution from internal to external and from head, peripherally), which partly resembled the hallmarks of her brother's manifestations. Particularly the girl's skin eruption, its timing and site of appearance has given the key for choosing between two different homeopathic remedies (Medorrhinurn alternate with Sulphur iociatum), necessary for the disappearance of the symptoms in one-year-time. Discussion: these two cases could give the cue of a profound analysis regarding the practice of the complementary medicine in serious chronicicomplicated cases, but homeopathy can specially contribute to the understanding and treatment of a chronic disease, beginning from the concept of illness as an individually-specific dynamic process. The homeopathic treatment can be seen as an individually-specific epigenetic reprogramming, aimed to the eradication of the chronic disease (E.. Burgin " Atti del X congresso F.I.A.M.O. 2012" ),The epigenetic programming is indeed a progressive and constant process of cellular and tissue genomic adaptation to the local and systemic environment.The homeopathic remedy would give a coherent information, able to directly modify the morphology of the system's electromagnetic field.
