The homeopathic model considers the secondary action or the organism vital reaction of the body as a therapeutic method and therefore prescribes treatments by the principle of similarity, which consists to administer to the sick person substances that have caused similar symptoms in healthy individuals. The vital homeostatic or paradoxical reaction of an organism may be explained scientifically based on the rebound effect of modem drugs, which can cause fatal iatrogenic events after discontinuation of the antipathic treatment (a term used in alternative medicine for palliative, also known as enantiopathic). Although the rebound effect has been studied by modem pharmacology, this was not widely known and discussed among health professionals, who have often been deprived of crucial information necessary for the safe handing of current medications. This article presents a current review on the rebound effect of modem medicines as a fundament of homeopathic healing, and alert doctors about these side effects usually are not notified.The rebound effect of modem palliative drugs, which was pointed out by Hahnemann more than two centuries ago, might cause fatal adverse events, which might be illustrated with the examples of acetylsalicylic acid, anti-inflammatory agents, bronchodilators, antidepressants, statins, proton-pump inhibitors, etc. Although the rebound effect is expressed by a small fraction of (susceptible) individuals and might be avoided by gradual tapering of antipathic drugs, it exhibits epidemiologic importance as a function of the massive use of such palliative drugs and lack of knowledge in its regard.
