Suppression and Resolution: Rethinking the Nature of Healing

Hering, Homeopathy, and the Art of Observation
07 November 2026 ~ 23 minute read

We spend a great deal of time trying to understand the body, often through the lens of what we’ve been taught about disease, symptoms, and treatment. But perhaps we’ve been looking at things from the wrong direction. What if many of the things we regard as problems are actually expressions of the body’s ongoing efforts to restore itself? And what if understanding those responses requires a little less intervention and a little more observation? Exploring the work of Lies are Unbekoming and the historical principle attributed to Constantine Hering, we consider the relationship between suppression and healing, the remarkable intelligence of the organism, and the importance of understanding our own individual stories.

The Unseen Connection: Beyond Mechanistic Understandings of Life

There’s more to life than what we can measure, and more to understanding than what we’ve already been taught to accept. Sometimes a curious observation opens a door to a much larger question, one that has little to do with the original story and everything to do with how we understand ourselves, the nature of life, and the connections that may exist beyond the boundaries we’ve drawn around them.

There’s something about the simplest questions that can open into much larger territory. A cold, a symptom, a restless night, a shift in mood, a change in the weather: none of these things necessarily exist in isolation. They happen within a living system, within a particular person, at a particular moment, in relationship with everything surrounding them. And perhaps some of what we have forgotten begins there, in the relationship itself.

Asking Better Questions: Notes on Health and Understanding

Questioning the Models We Inhabit
08 July 2026 ~ 17 minute read

Some conversations are less about arriving at definitive answers than they are about examining the assumptions beneath them. This exchange became an exploration of health, physiology, medicine, and the language we use to describe the body itself. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the perspectives presented, the value lies in slowing down long enough to question inherited narratives and consider the possibility that our models of understanding are always evolving.
