Miasm - the theory

---------------
In Hahnemann's words ,'the true natural chronic diseases are those that arise from a chronic miasm, when left to themselves, improper treatment, go on to increase, growing worse and torment the patient to the end of his life.' - 78 Organon
Hahnemann spent 12 years of his life investigating miasms, collecting proof these findings going unnoticed by others in the medical professions, 'the chronic diseases' was written. He describes how using antipsoric medicines used on the psora miasm would enable a practitioner to cure effectively.

The conditions that would modify a miasm in a persons body would be things like, climate and peculiar and physical character of the person it is in, mental delays, excesses, or abuses in life, in diet passions, habits and various customs.

The medical profession (allopathic doctors) have put names on various diseases such as, jaundice, dropsy, leucorrhoea, hemorrhoids, eczema, asthma, lysteria, rheumatism, herpes, mania to name a few. Hahnemann considers all these based from the same beginnings. The medical profession treats each one on an individual basis with each a medical treatment. All these names have no use and no influence on the practice of the true physician.

Only the totality of the signs of the individual state of each particular patient is used to cure the disease. So no real cure of miasms can take place without a strict particular treatment (individualization) of each case of disease. A difference between acute and chronic disease. Acute meaning starting suddenly, lasting for only a short amount of time. Chronic, a slow progression of imbalances being treated by allopathic suppressive medicines turning into further and further complications as the disease lasts and goes deeper into the human mind and physical body, even years go by without let-up. Chronic miasms are very hidden, the symptoms are much more difficult to be ascertained. Lots of questions need to be asked to trace the picture of disease. Questions about the history of one's family, mental delusions, dreams, peculiar symptoms.

The miasms are: psora, sychosis, syphillis, and tuburcular. Psora, the mother of all diseases goes back the farthest in human history. Psora or 'itch' is the monstrous internal chronic miasm, the only real fundamental cause and producer of all the other numerous forms of disease. (more on psora)

Diseases with such allopathic names as: Convulsions, mania, imbecility,
madness, epilepsy, scoliosis, cancer, gout, hemorrhage from nose, lungs,
bladder, asthma, impotence, deafness, urinary calculus, defects of the senses and pains of thousands of kinds. Psora has passed on through hundreds of generations of people and has produced an innumerable variety of defects, injuries, derangements, and sufferings

Physical expressions of the miasms

The mind and body work together as a unit and the disturbances are
expressed in both spheres.

A.- Psoric Miasm: reaction of body on exposure to environmental stimuli to ones surroundings like noise, light, and odors, producing functional disturbances like headache, nausea, and discomfort.
B.- Sycotic Miasm: hypersensitive response to something specific arising from a deficiency of the normal response like tumors, allergies, keloids. Deficient feeling gives rise to an increased attempt to repair the fault.
C.- Syphlitic Miasm: Not manageable, finding destruction like gangreen, ulceration. Body and mind destroy itself, give-up.
D.- Tuburcular Miasm: respiratory imbalance, weak lungs, offensive, headsweat, worse with exposure to cold, re-occurring epistaxis, bleeding gums, long eyelashes, craving for salt, enuresis, bleeding stools, milk disagrees causing diarrhea, anemic, weakness, ringworm, acne, white spots on nails, nightmares.
Personality types
A.- Psoric Miasm: highs and lows, struggling with outside world, becomes apparent at times of stress, lack of confidence, constant anxiety feelings, fear, like he can't do it, insecurity, anxiety about the future but always having hope, mentally alert.
B.- Sycotic Miasms: secretiveness, hide his weakness, tense, constantly covering up situations, fixed habits, suspicious, jealous, forgetful.
C.- Syphlitic Miasm: strong pessimistic view on life, cannot modify what is wrong, give-up, destroy, no point in trying to adjust, sudden impulsive violence directed at himself or others, dictational rigid ideas. Mental paralysis, mentally dull, suicidal, stupid, stubborn, and homicidal.
D.-Tuburcular Miasm: dissatisfaction, lack of tolerance, changes everything, does harmful thing to one's self.
General Nature of the Miasm
A.-Psoric Miasm- itching, burning, inflammation leading to congestion.- philosopher, selfish, restless, weak, fears.
B.-Sycotic Miasm: over production of growth like warts, condylomata, fibrous tissue, attack internal organs, pelvis, sexual organs.
C.-Syphlitic Miasm- destructive, disorder everywhere, ulceration, fissures, deformities, ignorance, suicidal, depressed, memory diminished.
D.-Tuburcular Miasm: changing symptomology, vague, weakness, shifting in location, depletion, dissatisfaction, lack of tolerance, careless 'problem child', cravings that are not good for them.
Dermatological Symptoms of the Miasms
A.-Psoric Miasm- dirty, dry, itching without pus or discharge, burning, scaly eruptions, eczema, cracks in hands and feet, sweat profuse < during sleep offensive.
B.-Sycotic Miasm- Warty, moles, unnatural thickening skin, herpes, scars, nails are thick and irregular---corrugated, oily skin with oozing, disturbed pigment in patches.

D.-Tuburcular Miasm- ringworm, eczema, urticaria, herpes, re-occuring boils with pus and fever. Does not heal fast. Leprosy < by warmth of bed > by cold nails white spots.
Pains Of Miasms
A. -Psoric Miasm: neurological type, sore, bruised, >rest motion, stitching, pulsating, wandering
C.- Syphlitic Miasm: Bone Pains, tearing, bursting, burning
D.- Tuburcular Miasm: Great exhaustion, never enough rest, sun> give strength.
Miasmetic Clinicals
A.-Psoric Miasm: Acidity, burning, cancer, sarcomas, constipation, epilepsy, flatulence, hoarseness, itching of skin, leprosy, burning of spinal cord, watery discharge from nose and eyes with burning
B.-Sycotic Miasm: Abortion, acne without pus, angina pectoris, anemia, appendicitis, cough (whooping), colic, pelvic disease + sexual organs, piles, prostatitus, nephritis (kidney), gout, arthritis, dry asthma, dysmenorrhoea, herpes, rheumatism, warts, urinary ailments.

The inheritance of the miasms is not genetic and actually takes place because the 'vital force' of parents is tainted by such states. As observed with mother and father at time of conception. Miasms are seen to be transmitted to the offspring. It is not the pathology which shows the miasm but the state. The characteristics in that individual, keeping with the mental and physical state. The three together reflect the miasm. The mental = delusion and the physical = type of reaction. A disease state is usually a combination of miasms with it's main focus on one miasm,. It is important to percieve each miasmatic state of the remedy, in order to understand the disease state, because then we become aware of how a person perceives and react to his surroundings, how he perceives himself and how he reacts when things became unmanageable and stressful. We need to understand the remedy as how it's related to the miasm. This understanding comes from study of the symptoms both physical and mental. The understanding of the mental delusions of a particular miasm in a remedy. The delusion of that remedy must lie in that particular miasm.
Example: Arsenic (syphlitic) despair of recovery, suicidal disposition, weakness, feels unloved, insecure

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Miasms are a past
or

current symptoms present the whole key?

Giri

A person came to you with a complaint of Rhinitis. You give a medicine and he is palliated.

But, he gets the same problem again, and now the previous medicine doesn't work. You think hard, choose another medicine and again the patient gets relieved of the symptoms.

But unfortunately the patient is again affected with the same problem after a few months. The problem keeps on repeating despite choosing the suitable medicines based on 'present' symptoms.

Hahn. faced the same problem in his initial days. He is not able to abort certain types of problems. They kept recuring. Then he set out to think, and after a long study spanning 12 years, he came out with the theory of miasms, and identified 62 (I am not very sure of the number. around 60) medicines that can abort these recurring tendencies permanently.

The book 'Chronic diseases' is the first book that talks about miasms, and discusses about the miasmatic medicines.

Murthy

Incidentally the author of the article Pankaj refering is none other than the Gina whom you know from Hpathy. :-)

Now perhaps you understand why she harps on miasmatic analysis being crucial to solve a chronic case.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
Yes Gavini ...author is Gina Tyler.

Where there is presence of miasm....a miasmic remedy has to be given.

But Giri in his won way knows if drug picture matches ....the med has to be given. And the med he choses might be a miasmic remedy like...Sulphur, Lyoc, Merc., Thuja , Acid Nitric, Medo, Turb. or Bacilnm. .....etc. etc.

So ...even if one does not read much about the theory ...yet uses the Materia Medica correctly......one wud end up choosing the right med.

Ultimately totality of the symptoms is important. And miasmic remedies are part of every MM.

On another thread ...'Acid Nitric' has been chosen as a answer to Joaquin's problem.

Sorry ...the totality of symptoms is no where near the 'drug picture' and I have pointed it out there on that thread.

Just as you want prescribers to justify their recommendations...I hold the same opinion.

Best wishes,
Pankaj Varma

'On another thread ...'Acid Nitric' has been chosen as a answer to Joaquin's problem.

This is of course based only upon your understanding of the drug, which from a comment you personally made on the thread you mention, would itself seem to be based only upon a few symptoms you have read in a text book rather than the full personality, OR totality of the remedy in question.

It is though good to see other members here are NOW discussing miasms, since this was brought up, even if the original (and rather lengthy) post was merely the work of someone else, and not the understanding of the poster in question, or that this was posted overwhelmingly for 'personal reasons' rather than the education of others, as would be evident from there constant reference to one prescription made, and the innumerable ways (this being one) they have tried to use to undermine this.

'Ultimately totality of the symptoms is important. And miasmic remedies are part of every MM.'
How the poster can even state this when a good proportion of the prescriptions I have seen him make here have been simply matching disease name to remedy, or suggesting remedies based upon only one or two symptoms, is quite beyond me, but something only he and his own perceptions may justify.

An excellent explanation Mr Murthy.

No matter what you say Organon...I have many success cases here at ABC itself.

Whereas, you have yet to prove yourself here.

So keep doing good work...and if it is really good...we will definately applaud.

Mere sermonising won't help.

the reference quoted by dr. Pajkaj Varma is a guidline. If we start the cases particular chronic with the miasmatic medicine we get success in the cases.

Thank You,

Oh I'm very much aware of this thank you, and AGAIN, that is all I am trying to do, and have been since I arrived, but I'm sorry, is this some kind of joke?

Mr Varma here has done nothing but make snide, underhand, confrontational, and often blatantly personal comments since the moment I arrived here, and you have simply sat back and watched him do this. I am now just becoming sick and tired of this childish behaviour, and his constant attempts to undermine my prescriptions, and I will point these out whenever they occur, and above all, I will CERTAINLY not be 'reprimanded' like a child for eventually retaliating to such shameful, and unprofessional behaviour, simply because you choose not to moderate this, for reasons unknown.

So again, I would respectfully ask, for both my information, and that of other members, in the interests of the truth, WHY IS HE ALLOWED TO DO THIS?

Again, thankyou.

Re: Homeopathic Information sources From PANKAJ VARMA on 2008-01-15
The Companies that manufacture 'combination homeopathic meds' employ qualified homeopathic doctors.

The meds in each combination are checked for complimentry action.

I have discussed this with the Chairman of SBL India Ltd. (a former collaboration of Bioron) and with the Marketing Manager of Wilmar Schwabe India Ltd (WSI)....a wholly owned company of Schwabe of Germany. The CEO of WSI is a German who has been posted by the parent Company to oversee all the activities of the company in India.

My information is that the Chairman of SBL India is a alumani of Harward University of USA and is fully aware of his responsibilites as the head of a Company manufacturing healthcare products.

These two companies have a number of homeopathic combination meds avilable in the market.

Thought I would share this info with all who have doubts about combination homeopathic meds.

This is totally irrelevant, and also not something I have seen any evidence of so on your opart anyway.

I don't have to 'prove' anything, and maybe that's the difference here. IIII am not here for the purposes of receiving adulation, or personal gratification, which from what I have seen, seems to be the only reason YOU are here.

Again, I am not here for your 'adulation' , so it is irrelevant to me if you 'applaud' or not, MY only concern is the patient.

I had never even ONCE mentioned your name, nor would I have after reading previous posts you have made directed at other members which have been pointed out to me via e-mail, before your childish tirade begun, and please don't feign innocence or pretend you do not know what is going on here, as you know EXACTLY what you've been doing, and the reason behind posting this thread.

I am SORRY, Joaquin chose to follow our advice and not yours, because he obviously felt ours to be of more value to his case, and I am SORRY, you do not have sufficient knowledge of the remedy suggested to see how it is applicable, but whinning about it endlessly, and playing ridiculous underhand games to try to discredit my prescriptions is not going to change the difference in our knowledge levels, and it is only making YOU look the fool for trying.

Educate yourself, gain some more experience, do whatever you have to do in order to gain the confidence you need to prescribe correctly and voice your opinions with complete confidence, because these things are NOT a gift, they come with WORK, and II have worked for them, and as such will not be held responsible when these are recognised by the patient, or put up with your ego based attempts at undermining them because they are things you lack.

Get off my back.
 
Dr Organon last decade
Why on EARTH would this be what I am referring to? A nice attempt at diversionary tactics Mr Varma, but please, do not play games with me, you will lose.

I am also quite happy to go through every single post you have made at my expense since the moment I arrived here, and arrange them chronologically so it is clear even to those who choose to colse their eyes, your motivations here.

I NEVER back down when I have done nothing wrong, and I will do whatever I have to expose the real culprit, so if you wish to continue with the game playing, please, go ahead :)

Thanks for letting us know this.

I think members of ABC have a right to ask where he has received his 'doctorate in homeopathy' from !!

O, you have crossed the line into indecent attacks now. You are making personal attacks against longstanding members of this forum. Your manner is agressive and offensive. You have no regard for anyone who might disagree with you, let alone that they would attempt to defend themselves against the dogma you present as fact. Everyone is entitled to different opinion.

Please spend some time with your 'pts.' They need you.

Again, this is NOT what I am referring to, do NOT play games with me.

This post was made by Mr girilal anyway, who has at least shown the common sense to calm his posts, where you have not.

The post in question also does not even refer to academic qualifications, it refers to the apparent disagreement between professional Homoeopaths. You have merely quoted this out of context in order to apply it to something entirely different, for the purposes of further attempts at discrediting.

STOP...WITH...THE GAMES.

They are only exposing YOUR motivations, not mine.

However you need to see this, but this is merely retaliation, not initiation, it is not me who is continually acting like a child here.

And I am TRYING to just this, as I have since arrived here, if pople like Mr Varma will allow me to undisturbed.

'Others here at ABC are also questioning your knowledge of homeopathy dear Organon.

See this:

Re: Cell salts & Homeopathic remedies From Astra2012 on 2008-01-14
are you saying now that about 200 years ago it was said that trit. breaks the molecular structure?

I'll quote you not to change your words :
'Of course, what else would there be to break down? '

(as I said water and lactose. Why woudln't their structure break too?) .


Anyway I don't think this makes sense as instead of having different understanding of cell salts I keep it the same as I see your ideas growing more and more bizarre. Maybe you are right and I'm wrong (although I do not think so)
but I still am conviced that cell saalts act only on material plane and trituriation does not dynamize them.'

Again, ANOTHER attempt at discrediting, and the poster in questions innability to understand the process of dynamization is not my problem, I tried to explain this to him to the best of my ability.
 
Dr Organon last decade
Organon,

A number of people posted on Jaoquin's thread...and each one had a different suggestion for him. None of them agreed with me.
You mean I will be against all of them.

Are you 'CRAZY' !

(You guys have yet to reach a common agreement on that thread).

This is a Forum and each one has a right to post his views in a decent way.

I just questioned your wisdom in suggesting 'Acid Nitric'.

That was a question related to homeopathy and I was seeking a justification.

Attend to the questions on homeopathy...and....

Stop making snide remarks about me and others !!

You are a fool Mr Varma, you do nothing but initiate argument for the purposes of your own personal gratification of seeing people become somewhat 'annoyed', and then try to deny all knowledge that you have done just this.

I pitty the kind of real life you must have.

[Dr Organon, this sort of Ad Hominum attack is not permitted here, and I have suspended your membership. If you feel that Pankaj Varma attacked you in a similar manner, please email me with the offending post. I thank you for the time you gave and the helpfulness of some of your posts.]

This is a very offensive post made by you and requires an apology!!
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
In other forum sajjadakram told that he treated a psoriasis patient by ignoring everything else but just focusing upon the external symptoms.

One can look for a miasm, there might me another miasm behind that misam and then there can be another.

Exploring at miasms as well mental symptoms is such that looking for an image in between two parallel mirrors.

One mirror is sufficient to reflect, more then one becomes a whole galaxy. More and more makes the whole problem a maze puzzle. John Stantan use to get lost in his own investigations.
