The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Psoric - Sycotic or Syphilitic

I am confused on miasms.
I am doing an assignment and need to see which miasm my cases relate too.

I have a 16 year old cat with severe nasal discharge with loss of smell and appetite. Im thinking sycotic? He is very nervous.

Then i have a 2 year old cat with bad diarrhea which is chronic. Every time he eats he has it with lots of flatulence. It is painless. Psoric??

Thank you for your help

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Do you have any basic material with you on the basis of which you have identified these miasms?

Miasms is a very confusing issue and a homeopath should be able to write at least 10 pages on miasms if he wants to influence a big group of homeopaths.

A sycotic miasm is a state that comes comes into existence when discharges are suppressed.

A syphilis miasm is generally found in the state where disease causes discharge from surface of body like skin or from surface of organs.
http://healthy-ojas.com/systems/syphilitic-miasm.html

A psoric miasm is a state of breaking out. It may be skin break outs or break outs of a philosophical mind.
http://healthy-ojas.com/systems/psoric-miasm.html

These concepts are very fluid and you will get a high score if you are good at confusing others!!

You may say that blocked nose is caused after suppression of nasal discharge, so it is sycotic.

Irritable bowel is causing diarrhea. It is the state of psora that irritates so it is psoric.

Homeopaths talk all these funny things when they address seminars.

Thanks kadwa
I don't have much material on miasms only class notes.
In our assignments we need to take them into consideration when choosing a remedy,

Thank you for you reply!
This forum is great

thanks for those links , Kadwa. I was reading in the Dr. Andre Saine
interviews on minimum books, how he explained some of
Hahnemann's miasms away, not right, bc they did not understand
some causes of disease back then. Yet people keep referring to
some of these miasms as correct- just as people might not want
to prescribe silicea bc there is a rubric of being afraid of pointed
objects ( when the fear of pointed objects was from only one person-)
but keeps getting carried forward.

People can argue forever when it is such a waste of time bc they
are using a different set of facts, some of them wrong.

A prescriber can see a miasm dominant in his patient. A miasm becomes evident and it is also taken care of if due care is taken while constructing totality of symptoms.

Old timers at this forum did lot of hot discussions on this topic. One of the old timer who started as a staunch proponent of classical homeopathy later became much liberal with his approach. He has now concluded that a homeopath should know well the Materia Medica as the final selection of remedy is done on the basis of MM. One can't afford to have a poor knowledge of Materia Medica and focus on fast food concepts like repertorization or exotic concepts like Miasms.

Of course the technique of repertorization and the theory of miasms can't be disregarded.

I agree that you cannot disregard it. I guess just frustrated
in reading debates etc on this stuff- as it reminds me of people discussing
the BIBLE.
An example would be the huge numbers of Church sermons I have heard,
On Jesus saying- It is harder for a rich man to get into Heaven than for
a camel to pass thru the Eye of a Needle. Many scholars in many Christian
religions know that - this meant LITERALLY - a gate in Jerusalem called
the eye of the Needle that was difficult to pass thru.

Yet thousands of ministers, etc still preach as tho it is about putting a camel
thru a real Needle - and thus impossible and go on from there, even when
the real info is out there.

I feel homeopathy is like this, with people practicing off misunderstood,
old theories, corrupted materia medica that has things never properly proved
and so on, countless arguments about what Hahnemann 'really meant'
just like the arguments about what Jesus really meant, when some people
really do know the historical reason something was said and why it is not
true anymore and thousands of others are still arguing over what others
have shown to be wrong-a waste of brain power.

You are right. People should understand the spirit of Law instead of being too particular about the letter of Law.

I second that! :-)
