Stages of Disease and Remedies 1 /David

The late, great Dr, Dhawlae MD pointed out many years ago that the
four stages of pathology correspond to the four major
characteristics of miasms, psora, sycosis, pseudopsora TB and
syphilis. Psora is exemplified by irritation and inflammation;
Sycosis by induration, infiltration, and over growth; Pseudospora TB
by suppuration, scarification, and bleeding; and syphilis by
ulceration and necrosis. The non venereal miasms like psora and
pseudopsora TB involve heat, inflammation, suppuration, bleeding,
scarification, etc., while the venereal diseases like sycosis and
syphilis are more prone to infiltration, induration, swelling, over
growth, degeneration, ulceration and necrosis. This show the
different in infections spread by skin contact the droplets and
those passed by sexual intercourse.

As the miasms progress from 1 to 4 they also tend to include some of
the symptoms of the previous miasms. For example, pseudopsora is an
intensification of some of the symptoms of the psora. Syphilis is an
intensification of some of the symptoms of sycosis. An illustration
of this is that pseduospora starts with inflammation similar to
psora but then moves to quickly to easy suppuration, bleeding and
scaring and systemic syphilis first starts with an over growth
called gumma which is similar to sycosis but it quickly breaks down
into necrosis and ulcerations. HIV/AIDS has all of these symptoms in
various degrees and aids in the proliferation of psora and TB. There
are many such relationships.

Dear David,

Do you mean that in your opinion the miasms transform into each
other? (of course I mean the miasm as defined by Hahnemann) As I
understand Hahnemann, he doesn't say that miasms transform into
other ones, just they progress and cause more serious problems for
the patient. Please correct me if there is anything wrong about my
understanding of Hahnemann's teachings.

Sincerely,
Feras Hakkak

I don't think the miasms literally transform into one other although
they may lead to one another due to a progressions in susceptibility. An
individual become increasing more susceptible to miasmic infection complex
miasms build. For example, those suffering from psora are increasing
susceptible to pseudopsora TB etc. The TB miasm makes an individual more
susceptibility to streptococcus infections of the eyes, ears, nose and
throat, etc. this is where primary and secondary infections get involved.
There is little doubt that psora and pseudopsora share many symptoms and
that TB is more quickly destructive in many. The same may be said of
sycosis and syphilis. When a person sufferers from complex miasms they may
show complex symptom patterns involving the characteristics of more than
one miasm. So in this sense, the miasms produce a spectrum of
susceptibility that includes other acute and chronic miasms.
