Suppressive therapy can induce a shift of symptoms. Suppression can complicate chronic diseases and set them on a dangerous journey through the system. This odyssey is what the author describes as ‘the journey of a disease’. He exposes many mainstream medical practices as suppressive therapy of symptoms. On the background of Hahnemann’s theory of miasms, Mohinder Singh Jus paints vivid and detailed pictures of psoric, sycotic, syphilitic and tubercular forms of disease.

The book follows Kent’s work. Written in simple language, it has helped homeopaths and laypeople to understand classical homeopathy, which may cure chronic diseases and reverse suppression. Many homeopaths recommend this book to their patients as part of the therapy, as they will understand the homeopathic principles and follow them on the journey to the right cure. The book has a fascination of its own. Many readers who did not know homeopathy before became convinced of its efficacy after going through Jus' vivid accounts.
