Background Various authors have explained Dr.Hahnemann’s concept of vital force and its substantialism.However,the explanation of Dr.Stuart Close,in his book Genius of Homoeopathy,remains in a scientific view.The introduction of homeopathy involves philosophical and ethical foundations,with Dr.Stuart Close’s work offering a scientific perspective on vital forces and their role in health and disease.His statement,“All force is persistent and indestructible”,is the scientific statement of the Doctrine of Immortality[1].He provided the linear concept of power,force,and motion,representing the physical concepts of our dynamic,vital principle.According to him,power corresponds to a life principle(vital principle),force corresponds to vital force,and motion corresponds to the healthy state of man in the dynamic plane[1].When the life principle is deranged,the vital force becomes improper,leading to disease.Humanity has gone through different periods when it comes to physical well-being to lead a disease-free life.Gone were the times when the human race was expected to endure physical stress due to disease and quick relief is expected nowadays at all levels with the development of innovative and modern medicines.This transient alleviation of symptoms is temporary,and the patient would somehow return with the suffering again.This article emphasizes a new ideology of administering homeopathic medicines during the symptom-free period where the dynamic,vital principle is at rest and the action of which is substituted by yet another artificial morbific agent in materialistic doses,which remains an unavoidable situation that all homeopaths face.
