The homeopathic medicines can prove to be more dangerous if not allowed to act freely once it has shaken the internal life force and started diverting life energy to a specific direction to expel negative force associated with disease. It is a great misconception that small sugar pills of homeopathic medicines are absolutely harmless with no side effects. In fact, these pill acts like gates of a great dam. These medicines directly hit at the central nervous system. Their action is instantaneous just like an electric switch or a gas lighter. Their action starts the moment our nervous system makes a contact with them mostly through our tongue. 

In case of previous example of diarrhea, the life force was directed in a particular direction but was blocked by crude allopathic medicines. Since this artificially modified force was having great potential to remain active for some more hours, it diverted its energy to unprotected weaker area of heart and aggravated its natural functions. The valves of the heart were not strong enough to sustain abnormal high blood pressure. The child may have died due to brain hemorrhage. So, before shifting to new treatment it is necessary to neutralize the effect of previous homeopathic medicine by proper antidote medicine. Many homeopathic medicines are inimical to other homeopathic medicines and require neutralization by proper antidotes before shifting to other medicine.
