Editor’s Note
Prof. Vithoulkas and the editor (Isaac Golden) debated this topic in 2007 over four editions of www.hpathy.com. This debate is still available to read in the Hpathy archive.
The very relevant issue of whether HP actually works by suppressing the immune system (like vaccines), or works only because it treats what is present during an epidemic, or actually works because it effectively treats specific inherited weaknesses which would otherwise prevent the vital force from protecting individuals if they are exposed to the targeted diseases, is discussed in the final chapter of the editor’s book The Complete Practitioners Manual of Homeoprophylaxis.
