We, homeopaths, were right in our opposition to the use of allopathic pharmaceutical medicine, at the ‘drop’ of a symptom. This is primarily because homeopathy, when seen from a health ecology/ microbiome/immunity/environmental perspective, makes fundamental biological sense. Its principles are universally applicable; they have also shown clinical evidence of efficacy, across a wide range of conditions and fields that include physical and mental health.
HEART OF THE MATTER
Chronic Lyme disease is a particularly poignant example of severe microbiome/immune system — microbiome, by definition, consists of bacteria, viruses and fungi, that have a greater complexity than the human genome itself — damage leading to chronic illness. These patients typically present with chronic Lyme disease after having tried [and, failed] to achieve cure using a plethora of oral and intravenous antibiotics, antifungals, antimalarials and other strong medications, usually in combination.
A thorough history usually reveals a strong history of antibiotic abuse many years prior to the Lyme infection. A typical adult suffering from chronic Lyme disease has a long history of treatment with multiple courses of antibiotics for a recurrent childhood infection [or, acne] over many years.
These patients were commonly antibiotic dependent as children. They were prescribed antibiotics for every infectious illness in childhood [including viral infections]. Their immune systems were completely naïve when it came to handling an infection without antibiotic support. As discussed above, this abuse of antibiotics not only damages the immune system and keeps it from maturing, but it damages the microbiome and destabilises the interface between the body and the environment.

The Subtleties of Homeopathic Prescribing
Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control. The unconscious level of the mind is where homeopaths partake in the big story of humanity as a whole: of the individual’s life, the archetypical initiations, transitions and thresholds shared by all humanity.
