Miasmatic Repertory
Re: Miasmatic Repertory
Perhaps the word "tainted" is better than "infected" when referring to
miasms.

Re: Miasmatic Repertory
Hi Shannon,
Knowing sings&symptoms and also nature of infectious diseases have many practical point in selecting true simillimum.By studying nature of infectious diseases one can find that which one can be chronic miasm or acute one.For example if one studies Hepatitis A, he/she can find that it can not be chronic miasm,then when one has a patient with a history of Hepatitis A,then he can find that signs&symptoms of his/her patient can not be due to Hepatitis A dynamism but if we study Hepatitis B,we can find that it is Chronic then if our patient has a history of it therefore although according to lab data our patient may be is only HBsAg positive but we as a homeopath know that Hepatitis B is chronic and some of our patient signs and symptom can be due to Hepatitis B then our patient has one more miasm(it may be Latent,Dormant,Active)and we must be aware not mingle all symptoms in finding true simillimum or when the other symptoms of patient become more dominant then one can guess other miasm becomes active.
Of course there are many ways that we can use it in our practice by studying infectious diseases that I think it can not be discussed and elucidate in this mailing list.
Kind Regards,
Nader

Re: Miasmatic Repertory
Dear Shannon,
Sankaran has created theme for his miasms classification but studying remedies,for example for drawing picture of his psora miasm he has compared Sulph with psorinum but Hahn has not done this and on the contrary he first has studied psora then classified the remedies.,in Sankaran method one can study for example Lyc with psorinum and then create a new theme which will be different than sankaran psora picture,then Sankaran's psora can not be equal to hahnemann's one and etc.In Hahnemann method one must study natural dynamisms then classified remedies based on nature of dynamism but in sankaran it differs.
Of course there are other differences that you can find from studying sankaran's works.

Re: Miasmatic Repertory
Dear Shannon,
Although saying "Flue Miasm" or "Flue" may not has any benefit but suppose that one error in the beginning has many many errors at the end.For example Kent once has done wrong and said there is not differences between Dose &Potency and High potency means small dose!!!!!!!!!!!
Even now there are homeopaths how think as Kent thought!!!!!!, I don't want to start a new discussion about Dose& Potency,pls do not send email about it.
Or (I don't know how has said sycosis is due to gonorrhea but now many Homeopaths speak about gonorrhea in referring to Sycosis!!!!!!!!!)
Recently I have begun to study about Gonorrhea and although now I can not say confidently but in my opinion gonorrhea can not be chronic miasm.

Nader

Re: Miasmatic Repertory
Exactly, and Hahnemann's work on miasms was concerned with chronic miasms,
not acute ones. Acute "miasms" he simply treated with acute remedies.
Which goes back to my question whether there is really any benefit in the
present to using the term "miasm" when one is talking about an infectious
disease? Why not use "miasm" to mean "chronic miasm" (since that *is* the
way it is commonly used, and the term "miasm" has fallen into disuse with
respect to contagious/infectious diseases), and simply say "infectious
disease" if that is what one means?

Re: Miasmatic Repertory
Thanx Chris for beautiful elucidation.
Without Miasm theory,how one can understand that his case is flare up of miasm or acute epidemic one?or How he can find that when he must change his remedy?or how not intermingle all sign&symptoms of the patients,I have seen that esp in migraine cases some of Homeopaths intermingle sign&symptoms of headache attack with the other symptoms of the patient.If we study Ken's lecture on Nat-s regarding treating Asthma cases ,we notice that as Kent was treating only attacks of the patient therefore his selected remedies didn't helped only for a time.But after understanding miasm! he prescribed Nat-s and could treat asthma case.of course it was not because that Nat-s is antisycotic(as he said in his lecture) but nat-s was suitable for the case in between attacks.

Nader

It is *irrelevant* that Hahnemann made no reference to one of the derivations of the term miasma regarding the association of swamp emanations with Malaria. That is simply the derivation of the word. You have oversimplified the connotation of "noxious gases" as Hahnemann employed it. Yet (elsewhere) you clearly understand that miasms are an etheric emanation--clearly noxious.
If you refer to mention of the definition of the term miasm in my post in this thread, then will respond here to point out that "noxious gases" on the *material level* are not the entire point of the meaning of the word--particularly and expressly this is the case in Hahnemann's usage of it, as I think you will agree. Assuming that the translation into english of whatever word in german Hahnemann used which was translated as"miasma" and forever became that word for us who inherited homeopathy---then it should be pointed out that Hahnemann *chose* that term for a reason.
The reason was that "miasma" CONVEYS the meaning that--since the life force which animates all flesh on this planet is nonelectromagnetic; outside of the classical thermodynamic laws; etheric; dynamic; spirit-like; and thus nonmaterial-----then so must ALSO be any *derangement/dysfunction* of life force. Hahnemann, sometime between 1810 and 1828 chose the term miasma ("vaporous noxious exhalation" by definition) because it conveyed that disease was based on something *nonmaterial*. With no more precise terminology available, miasma conveys the meaning very well Anyone who has
worked intimately in psychic healing can attest to having sensed a bolus of malevolent or deranged energy, and it is a palpable noxious bundle of air like wind or fog--and sometimes has a thermal component.
The reference to malarial transmission is merely part of the understanding of the usage and derivation of the word. Coincidentally, Hahnemann discovered homeopathic resonance while testing the mechanism of a malarial palliative. But I did NOT intend to imply that he himself had a simplistic understanding of the term miasma. Obviously, he did not---the nonmaterial connotation of swamp vapor would be what he would have intended to refer to by using the term in that context. Hahnemann chose the term--I gave the definition. Please don't equate the literal of the reference I gave
to be the actual meaning of the word as in Hahnemann's context. Noxious etheric medium IS like a noxious vapourous exhalation. All language is an analogic representation of that which it purports to identify. Thus Hahnemann chose "miasma" to indicate the transmissible taint which allows contagion and compromise of immunity and function.

Yes, Leewenhouk had already posited "animalcules":
"...in 1677, a student from the medical school at Leiden, Johan Ham, brought him a specimen ostensibly of semen in which Ham himself had found small animals with tails, which Leeuwenhoek now observed as well (5). Leeuwenhoek resumed his own observations and in his own semen—acquired, he stressed, not by sinfully defiling himself but as a natural consequence of conjugal coitus—observed a multitude of "animalcules," less than a millionth the size of a coarse grain of sand and with thin, undulating transparent tails (6)..."
))))) But in Hahnemann's time Pasteur had not yet engendered the popularization of a "germ theory"--this did not happen until the 1880's:
"...In the mid-1860s, the French silk industry was seriously threatened by a disease that killed silkworms and Pasteur was commissioned by the government to investigate the disease. He announced in 1868 that he had found a minute parasite that infects the silkworms, and recommended that all infected silkworms be destroyed. His advice was followed and the disease eliminated. This stimulated his interest in infectious diseases and, from the results of his previous work on fermentation, spontaneous generation, and the silkworm disease, Pasteur developed the germ theory of disease.
This theory was probably the most important single medical discovery of all time, because it provided both a practical method of combating disease by disinfection and a theoretical foundation for further research.
Continuing his research into disease, in 1881 Pasteur developed a method for reducing the virulence of certain pathogenic micro-organisms. By heating a preparation of anthrax bacilli he attenuated their virulence but found that they still brought about the full immune response when injected into sheep. Using a similar method, Pasteur then inoculated fowl against chicken cholera, following the work of Edward Jenner (who first vaccinated against cowpox in 1796).
In 1882 Pasteur began what proved to be his most spectacular research: the prevention of rabies. He demonstrated that the causative micro-organism (actually a virus, although the existence of viruses was not known at that time) infects the nervous system and then, using the dried tissues of infected animals, he succeeded in obtaining an attenuated form of the virus suitable for the inoculation of human beings. The culmination of this work came on 6 July 1885, when Pasteur used his vaccine to save the life of a young boy who had been bitten by a rabid dog. The success of
this experiment brought Pasteur even greater acclaim and led to the establishment of the Pasteur Institute in 1888..."

I would add, however, that Psora, the hydra-headed umbrella, is probably a catch-all which begged further differentiation--and which Hahnemann did not have either the time nor the resources to undertake. Psora is the name he gave to everything not encompassed by syphilis and sycosis. He identified Leprosy as a precursor to Psora but did not characterize it--perhaps you can tell me if he also discussed either Tuberculosis or Cancer (I seem to recall characterization of these only came well after 1843).

))))) IMO Psora is and was used as a convenient resort to everything not yet explained by other miasm categories can be seen in one sense as a "cop out" to the limitations of Hahnemann's time and what he had not life duration to be able to accomplish. The benefit of inspiration and computer database analysis of known medicines facilitates this kind of differentiation when the uncategorized genre of derangement makes itself known by the patients. Traditional Psora is probably a category which will diminish over time because in many cases previously considered Psora, OTHER
infectious origin of an inherited chronic syndrome will be identified by equating signs, symptoms and themes with a prior causation and type of disease from empirical observation of cases. The process by which Sankaran does this identification of secondary syndrome with original infectious agent of a previous generation is similar if not identical to Hahnemann's process 1810-1828 in originally identifying the concept of a contagious energy which is either self-limiting (ACUTE MIASM) or engrafts (CHRONIC MIASM), and if engrafted is transmitted to further generations.
What it looks to me lke Sankaran is doing is identifying a type of patient that doesnt fit in an existing miasm and then using a set of actual cases to posit the themes, signs, and symptoms of a miasm that could account for those cases. Hahnemann associated cutaneous ulcers that looked like tertiary syphilis---with a syphilis that had been aquired by the patient NOT in the *present* life, but which had been transmitted to them from the parents.
How are these processes different such that Sankaran's deductions are erroneous? And *which* Sankaran miasms are the offenders, in your opinion, and why.
=====
Nader wrote:

))))) Psora IMO was a catch-all category, and therefore Hahnemann's Psora *cannot* be equivalent to Sankaran's Psora. Sankaran's Psora would be by definition a subset of a larger category previously called "hydra headed". Quite possibly Sankaran's Typhoid, Acute, Ringworm, and Malaria miasms are also subsets of Hahnemann's Psora.

Nader wrote:

))))) My sense is that Sankaran is examining the dynamisms of the clients first, and that is what inspires his notion that the observed syndromes have not yet been categorized miasmatically. That Sankaran uses materia medica of rx employed in certain miasms to assist with defining or explaining the miasm does not mean that the original basis is other than empirical observation. Perhaps, but so far you have not convinced me. One thing that is clear is that the miasms that Sankaran posits are more subtle. Even in Hahnemann's time without the onslaught of suppression we have
now, miasms which can be identified mainly on subtle psychological factors would have been *very difficult* to define.
All the miasms we inherited had more gross characteristics in present time:
psora--itching skin expressions
sycosis--warts and hydrogenous joints
syphilis--suicide and mental pathology
Leprosy---had not been categorized well by Hahnemann
Later
TB--wasting diseases, respiratory diseases
Cancer--moles, neoplasms
Of the miasms that Sankaran has so far added
Typhoid--a febrile disease
Acute--a temporal disease (eg accidents, sudden manifestations--energy which attracts such incidents and fast-paced diseases)
Ringworm--cutaneous and systemic disease
Malaria--febrile disease
ONLY ringworm has gross characteristics that one could very easily connect with the disease from which the miasm originated.

Difference from Hahnemann ALONE as logical point does not and should not mean "incorrect". I agree Hahnemann was a scientist nonpareil, and reliable. But the miasmatic theory was a WORK IN PROGRESS. I enjoyed reading your expositions in comparing Hepatitis A and B as acute and chronic, respectively. I would appreciate it, and think the whole group would, if you would further discuss your findings and knowledge of any miasms not commonly discussed and their self limiting or chronic nature.
=======
Question: Influenza (in a never been well since patient) has engrafted on the organism. Can influenza influence the gametes and be passed on as a miasm, and if not, why not??
========
I really think that homeopathy will benefit from further in-depth work on miasmatic categorization. It may differ from Hahnemann in Psora, but that is because Psora was multi-pronged as Hahnemann pointed out. It was multipronged IMO because it included many other as-yet undifferentiated component miasms. We are at the point of refining and further differentiation. Do you agree? Disagree?
I have used Sankaran's miasmatic information. Initially skeptical, I am provisionally convinced on at least Typhoid and Malaria---by RESULTS by remedies that he had put in those categories for clients that had those diseases earlier in their lives--and could well have had the subtle psychological syndromes he identifies for those miasms. But those psychological characteristics alone were NOT sufficient for me to use as indicators, at least yet--while I continue to get familiar with Sankaran's system and continue to test it.
I think Sankaran has only scratched the surface of inherited chronic miasms. For example, Rajan does not include hydrophobia nor AIDS in his pantheon yet. How MANY infectious diseases exist in the world that could be suppressed and engrafted on an organism and then passed on? Are these ALL "Psora"? No, it was in all likelihood merely a catch-all category. The individual characteristics of these miasms is essential to identify because many of the clients with them will require at some point a NOSODE in order to eradicate in clients. Psorinum will not work as a lynchpin
intercurrent if Psora is not the actual miasm involved. If we cannot categorize all the important miasms, then we will miss cases in part because we will miss cases that need the nosode of that miasm. Simon's exposition from notes of the characteristics of the nosode of the AIDS miasm is a case in point.
"Psora" can be in many cases a "cop-out" for much of what it previously represented. Yes, of course there is a psoric miasm. But only by testing out the expanded miasmatic system of Sankaran, and clinically confirming (or deconfirming) its validity for oneself will be allowed scientific comment without prejudice on the matter. IMO we should not dogmatically cling to parts of a theory which was INCOMPLETE and begs completion.
=========
Another point on miasms:
Example: Downs syndrome---With our present understanding this can be recognized as derangement of the vital energy and resulting material derangements of the parent's GAMETES. Down's syndrome if treated optimally with homeopathically immediately after birth can in some cases be modified to the degree that the patient has passable "IQ" and loses the Down's facial features. This is indicative that the derangements in many if not all cases are *energetic*. If they involve missing genetic information, then that information can be replaced during the still malleable time just after
birth. The material is repairable to a marked degree in these cases by the organism once the energy (miasm) has been identified and annihilated by the remedy and by the vital intelligence of the organism. Form and functional components that crystallized completely and only during gestation cannot be corrected fully, but the result of those malformations might be minimized by removal of the energies which created them.
Point-- this amplifies that all disease is energetic---even what is considered "genetic" and immutable. Thus, those with genetic diseases and advised not to reproduce could *theoretically* produce healthy offspring if treated with optimal homeopathic treatment.

Andy

I would add, however, that Psora, the hydra-headed umbrella, is probably a catch-all which begged further differentiation--and which Hahnemann did not have either the time nor the resources to undertake. Psora is the name he gave to everything not encompassed by syphilis and sycosis. He identified Leprosy as a precursor to Psora but did not characterize it--perhaps you can tell me if he also discussed either Tuberculosis or Cancer (I seem to recall characterization of these only came well after 1843).

))))) IMO Psora is and was used as a convenient resort to everything not yet explained by other miasm categories can be seen in one sense as a "cop out" to the limitations of Hahnemann's time and what he had not life duration to be able to accomplish. The benefit of inspiration and computer database analysis of known medicines facilitates this kind of differentiation when the uncategorized genre of derangement makes itself known by the patients. Traditional Psora is probably a category which will diminish over time because in many cases previously considered Psora, OTHER
infectious origin of an inherited chronic syndrome will be identified by equating signs, symptoms and themes with a prior causation and type of disease from empirical observation of cases. The process by which Sankaran does this identification of secondary syndrome with original infectious agent of a previous generation is similar if not identical to Hahnemann's process 1810-1828 in originally identifying the concept of a contagious energy which is either self-limiting (ACUTE MIASM) or engrafts (CHRONIC MIASM), and if engrafted is transmitted to further generations.
What it looks to me lke Sankaran is doing is identifying a type of patient that doesnt fit in an existing miasm and then using a set of actual cases to posit the themes, signs, and symptoms of a miasm that could account for those cases. Hahnemann associated cutaneous ulcers that looked like tertiary syphilis---with a syphilis that had been aquired by the patient NOT in the *present* life, but which had been transmitted to them from the parents.
How are these processes different such that Sankaran's deductions are erroneous? And *which* Sankaran miasms are the offenders, in your opinion, and why.

Quite possibly Sankaran's Typhoid, Acute, Ringworm, and Malaria miasms are also subsets of Hahnemann's Psora.

Perhaps, but so far you have not convinced me. One thing that is clear is that the miasms that Sankaran posits are more subtle. Even in Hahnemann's time without the onslaught of suppression we have
now, miasms which can be identified mainly on subtle psychological factors would have been *very difficult* to define.
All the miasms we inherited had more gross characteristics in present time:
psora--itching skin expressions
sycosis--warts and hydrogenous joints
syphilis--suicide and mental pathology
Leprosy---had not been categorized well by Hahnemann
Later
TB--wasting diseases, respiratory diseases
Cancer--moles, neoplasms
Of the miasms that Sankaran has so far added
Typhoid--a febrile disease
Acute--a temporal disease (eg accidents, sudden manifestations--energy which attracts such incidents and fast-paced diseases)
Ringworm--cutaneous and systemic disease
Malaria--febrile disease
ONLY ringworm has gross characteristics that one could very easily connect with the disease from which the miasm originated.

I enjoyed reading your expositions in comparing Hepatitis A and B as acute and chronic, respectively. I would appreciate it, and think the whole group would, if you would further discuss your findings and knowledge of any miasms not commonly discussed and their self limiting or chronic nature.

Question: Influenza (in a never been well since patient) has engrafted on the organism. Can influenza influence the gametes and be passed on as a miasm, and if not, why not??
========
I really think that homeopathy will benefit from further in-depth work on miasmatic categorization. It may differ from Hahnemann in Psora, but that is because Psora was multi-pronged as Hahnemann pointed out. It was multipronged IMO because it included many other as-yet undifferentiated component miasms. We are at the point of refining and further differentiation. Do you agree? Disagree?
I have used Sankaran's miasmatic information. Initially skeptical, I am provisionally convinced on at least Typhoid and Malaria---by RESULTS by remedies that he had put in those categories for clients that had those diseases earlier in their lives--and could well have had the subtle psychological syndromes he identifies for those miasms. But those psychological characteristics alone were NOT sufficient for me to use as indicators, at least yet--while I continue to get familiar with Sankaran's system and continue to test it.
I think Sankaran has only scratched the surface of inherited chronic miasms. For example, Rajan does not include hydrophobia nor AIDS in his pantheon yet. How MANY infectious diseases exist in the world that could be suppressed and engrafted on an organism and then passed on? Are these ALL "Psora"? No, it was in all likelihood merely a catch-all category. The individual characteristics of these miasms is essential to identify because many of the clients with them will require at some point a NOSODE in order to eradicate in clients. Psorinum will not work as a lynchpin
intercurrent if Psora is not the actual miasm involved. If we cannot categorize all the important miasms, then we will miss cases in part because we will miss cases that need the nosode of that miasm. Simon's exposition from notes of the characteristics of the nosode of the AIDS miasm is a case in point.
"Psora" can be in many cases a "cop-out" for much of what it previously represented. Yes, of course there is a psoric miasm. But only by testing out the expanded miasmatic system of Sankaran, and clinically confirming (or deconfirming) its validity for oneself will be allowed scientific comment without prejudice on the matter. IMO we should not dogmatically cling to parts of a theory which was INCOMPLETE and begs completion.
=========
Another point on miasms:
Example: Downs syndrome---With our present understanding this can be recognized as derangement of the vital energy and resulting material derangements of the parent's GAMETES. Down's syndrome if treated optimally with homeopathically immediately after birth can in some cases be modified to the degree that the patient has passable "IQ" and loses the Down's facial features. This is indicative that the derangements in many if not all cases are *energetic*. If they involve missing genetic information, then that information can be replaced during the still malleable time just after
birth. The material is repairable to a marked degree in these cases by the organism once the energy (miasm) has been identified and annihilated by the remedy and by the vital intelligence of the organism. Form and functional components that crystallized completely and only during gestation cannot be corrected fully, but the result of those malformations might be minimized by removal of the energies which created them.
Point-- this amplifies that all disease is energetic---even what is considered "genetic" and immutable. Thus, those with genetic diseases and advised not to reproduce could *theoretically* produce healthy offspring if treated with optimal homeopathic treatment.

Andy

Re: Miasmatic Repertory
Dear Andy,Chris,
Regarding meaning of "Miasm" as you wrote:it has wide range than only infectious diseases in other healing methods such as pranic healing ,etc. but in organon are there any diseases other than infectious one to be miasmatic in nature?I checked the file which has been sent by Soroush regarding words "Miasm" and "Miasmatic" but I couldn't find anything.Would you pls tell more about this.
