miasms/psora - Evolution

[muthu kumar]

Thanks - That is interesting to see...

I wonder if Hahnemann knew of or at least considered the Theory of
Evolution...though Darwin probably published his works at a later
period... People who have read Hahnemann and his case notes
extensively might be able to comment on this - esp. if Hahnemann had
a vet practice as well and what he thought of disease in animals and
what would cause chronicity in them if it were...

If Psora ( and other miasms) are infections and also genetically
transmissible then did Psora originate in our ancestral primates and
then humans evolved with it already in place? Monkeys and probably
other furry animals have fleas, ticks and what not which carry
infection and as I said there is always the chance of suppression of
the same inadvertently without resorting to "suppressive allopathic
ointments"- saliva etc. could also suppress... So did does Psora or
something similar to that predate humans?
After all, we have seen that species after species have died out
due to some reason...

As much as I would like to confirm this but it is very difficult. Hahnemann
was aware of Lamarck's work on the transmission of developed qualities by
inheritance. "Lamarckism" was being discussed in many medical and
philosophical circles. Of course, Hippocrates spoke of hereditary
traits but Hahnemann was one of the first in the modern period to
integrate hereditary predispositions and the fact that the affects of
miasms could be inherited in a medical work. One of the ancient Greek
philosophers found a sea shell in the mountains and opined that all life
came from the sea! These ideas are no exclusively "modern". In India they
have been saying that life and consciousness evolved through the mineral,
plant and animal worlds for 1000s of years. The fight between science and
religion and creation and evolution is a Judao-Christian-Muslumo dichotomy
not found in India and China. The Indians believe that Brahman created life
through evolution!
That is an interesting thought. Certainly animals experience psora in the
form of primary skin infections. Hahnemann taught that when psora was left
on the skin and not suppressed is did not produce it worst destructive
secondary diseases. He was of the opinion that medical suppression was
responsible for causing psora to mutate into more virulent man-assisted
forms. The idea that nature alone would not have produces some of the
virulent, resistant and mutating strains of infections witnessed today has
been confirmed by modern science. Wild animals do not receive medical
treatment but domestic animals certain have. We, however had not evolved
from domestic animals. So....? I think one needs to apply the ideas raised
in the Chronic Diseases to animals and use the group case to study obvious
collective miasms in animals. What a great task! Us human homeopaths only
have to worry about 1 species but the vets must know many! What a challenge.

Ah ha, if you don't have suppression, you don't have a psora. That's a missing bolt in my head. Thank-you David.

Animal psora is probably testable in the lab whether suppression of
itch causes psora and due to such suppression secondary deeper
involvement occurs. Probably in a mice population or something
deliberate skin infections could be created and a) given allopathic
topicals b) homeopathic topicals c) Neutral applications d) No
treatment at all e) Internal homeopathic medication non psoric f)
Psoric medication g)some non infected mice and after a specific
period the rats internals could be autopsied to find out the effect.

Darwin did not come up with the theory of evolution!
The theory arose because of the discovery of fossils
by the early geologists. In fact Charles' grandfather,
Erasmus Darwin, wrote about evolution before Charles
was even born. The reason Darwin sailed on the HMS
Beagle in the first place was because Captain Fitzroy
selected a newly graduated theology student (Charles)
to sail as their naturalist was because Fitzroy wanted
to disprove the evolutionary theory. Darwin was the
first to correctly identify the mechanism of evolution
(natural selection) although not the first to propose
a mechanism for evolution, that was Lamarck.

Hello,

I am not saying that if you don't have suppression you don't have
psora. Hahnemann taught that when psora is left on the skin the lesions act
as a pressure valve for the internal complaint that offers a certain amount
of palliation although the internal and external disease gets slowly worse.
When the lesions is suppressed this makes the disease much more quickly
destructive because the full force of the disease is transferred to the
internal spheres where it attacks the vital tissues and organs. Hahnemann
blamed the great increase in internal virulency of psora and the
proliferation of secondary diseases states on generations of suppression.
So suppression makes psora worse but psora is psora suppression or not.
Read the theory portion of the Chronic Diseases again very carefully. Every
time I read it I find something new to think about.

Sincerely, David Little

You are right Dr David, psora precedes the eruption and becomes worse
upon suppression. The mere reappearance of the eruption does not mean
that psora has been healed. It just means that the healing process has
begun and is (maybe) on the right path. It is the patient who must say
that he/she is feeling better with the treatment.
