Title for references: Edge H.T. - The Mattei Electro-Homoeopathic Treatment
Short description:
423 The remedies and treatment of Count Mattei will appeal to students of Occultism by reason of their conformity with the laws of correspondence in Nature. The vegetable kingdom is the storehouse of “qualities”, the physical manifestation of the universal principle of “Form”. Herbal remedies heal disease by inducing their particular mode or quality into the human system and causing the Prâna to vibrate in that mode. Any increase of strength that may be produced thereby, comes from our own store of vitality, hence a purely vegetable remedy merely stimulates for a time, and adds nothing directly to the stock of vitality. Herein indeed lies the whole theory of stimulants, which serve merely to liberate a portion of our stored-up Prâna. We feel the life tingling in the organs of action and sensation, and are under the delusion that force is passing into our system from without, whereas the fact is that it is passing out from within. Hence, after the temporary excitement has subsided, we are left poorer than before, like a glass of flat seltzer water which is aroused to renewed effervescence by being stirred up. Mattei, however, adds (as he claims) the vital principle to his drugs, thus rendering them dual in their composition, for they now contain both force and form; hence they do not rob the system. How this vital energy is imparted is not made known, but his variously-coloured “electricities” suggest the experiment of vitalising water by exposing it to the sun in coloured bottles (Fate and Fortune, Sept., 1890). The colours of these electricities and their uses will be suggestive to students of occult correspondences. They are, chemically speaking, pure colourless water, but are called respectively white, red, yellow, green and blue. The red and blue are called positive, the green and yellow negative, the white neutral. The red and yellow are stimulating and heating, the blue and green sedative and cooling. The red and blue are applied to the right side of the body, the green and yellow to the left. Count Mattei’s directions as to the application of the external remedies show a considerable acquaintance with physiological correspondences.
