Sycosis & Common Gonorrhea 3

Post by David Little »

Dear Mininus,

My respected colleague, Will Taylor, has taken up the view that
gonorrhea Neisserian is only a sub acute disease and not a chronic miasm.
He like Dr. Ardavan, point out correctly that genital warts are caused by
HPV. Thus they opine means Hahnemann's sycosis is HPV and has nothing to do
with gonorrhea N. From what I have seen in the Paris casebooks this is not
the whole story.

Hahnemann's general pattern in treating primary infections of gonorrhea
N was to start of with remedies like cannabis, clematis, copaiva, cantharis
and once the inflammatory symptoms were calmed to follow up with remedies
like Thuja, Nitric acid and Cinnabaris. Why did he always give these deep
acting antisycotic remedies when treating gonorrhea N? I believe the answer
is quite simple. He thought that gonorrhea N was a sycotic diseases that
need antisycotic treatment. This is how he practice so it must be what he
thought!

I do not agree with Will Taylor about the nature of gonorrhea N. My
experience and the experience of many great homeopaths has show that
gonorrhea Neisserian has the potential to cause chronic constitutional
disorders, especially when suppressed! Just because we now know that
genital warts are caused by HPV does not change this clinical fact. To
reduce gonorrhea N an acute diseases is a grand mistake! Ove100 years of
clinical experience show otherwise!

I believe that sycosis may have related subspecies that tend to thrive
in a similar terrain and often piggyback one upon the other. Many case
histories show that after the suppression of gonorrhea N the patient lost
their memory, became confused, developed yellow green to brownish foul
catarrhs, suffered from fishy smells, dark hairy patches, arthritis,
rheumatism, heart disease, kidney disease, kidney stones, PID, cysts,
tumors, cancer, and yes, even warts, moles and flecks! Gonorrhea N seems to
increase susceptibility to warts, moles, flecks and other skin tags. These
persons become extremely susceptible to a host of non syphilitic venereal
disorders. These symptoms have been removed by careful homoeopathic
treatment and in some cases the original suppressed gonorrheal discharge
comes back! This is proof positive that the cause of these symptoms was
suppressed gonorrhea N.

I have also seen persons who had suppressed HPV with no history of
gonorrhea that develop joint pains, backaches, foul smells, pelvic
diseases, kidney problems, mental confusion, etc. As of yet the allopaths
have yet to make these links! Let us not leave our methods for the
allopathic view about HPV and gonorrhea N. They don't understand
suppression and constitutional sequels. Our methods are the group cases and
a deep study of the time and progression of the symptoms after suppression.
It also includes evidence from the reversal of symptoms to the Causa.

I have also seen chronic sequels appear after the suppression of genital
chlamydia and trichomoniasis. Psora involves the suppression of mites,
bacteria, fungi and herpes, etc. The common denominating factor is a
similar susceptibility based on the internal terrain, the same disease
pathway and a homogeneous set of chronic symptoms. This has lead me to
believe that like psora, sycosis, may have more than one microorganism
involved. It may involve a spectrum of related infections that tend to come
together just like those who are susceptible to psoric often suffer a host
of skin infections.

The miasma animalcule may be killed or removed but the internal
deranged vital force continues to degrade the inner terrain making it more
susceptibility to a spectrum of non syphilitic venereal infections that
piggyback one upon the other. The chronic effects of suppression leads to a
particular type of autoimmune and immunodeficiency disorders that we call
"sycosis". This change in terrain opens the door to a host of opportunistic
infections and makes them more virulent. The suppression of these symptoms
only adds more and more complex disorders related to sycosis.

Why can't sycosis involve a spectrum of elated pathogens like gonorrhea
N, HPV, HSV 2, chlamydia, and other non syphilitic venereal infections just
as psora involves mites (scabies), bacteria (leprosy, staph, strep),
fungi (ringworm, tetter, tinea) and viruses (herpes)? I believe Hering was
right when he said we must be open to subspecies of chronic miasms. L.
Pastur first focused on the organisms but on his death bed he said that the
organism are nothing - the terrain is everything! The suppression of
miasmas produces great changes in the internal terrain that increases
susceptibility and makes a spectrum of pathogens more and more damaging!
Sycosis is an internal terrain or internal climate that produces a
homogenous set of chronic symptoms not just an infection in the allopathic
sense of the word.

Now I have no problems with pointing out that HPV is the cause of
genital warts, etc. I do, however, have a big problem with calling
gonorrhea N an acute local disease! Over a century of documented
homoeopathic records show that this is simply NOT TRUE! Great Masters have
offered a number of cases that show that the suppression of gonorrhea N.
causes chronic diseases of many sorts. Many have traced the symptoms from
the original gonorrheal infection to the suppression to the development of
chronic sequels. They have given the anti-miasmic remedies according to the
symptoms and the symptoms were removed and the suppressed discharge came
back. These cases are proof positive that gonorrhea N produces chronic
diseases!

James Kent wrote:

"So it is often the case that a man with a thick, yellowish-green
discharge from the nose, after a dose of Calcarea, which is an
anti-sycotic, one of the deepest in character, has his old discharge
brought back, and he says: "Doctor, I am not able to account for this, for
I have been nowhere but with my wife."

- It is time to sit down and tell that man that in his earlier life he
had a gonorrhoea, and that its nature was sycotic; for if it had not been
of a specific character, it could not have transferred itself to the man's
economy, affecting in that way his nose; that it has disappeared from its
new site under the action of a truly homoeopathic prescription, and the
original discharge has been brought back, the trouble that he had in the
first place.

- This must be explained to him, and you can now tell him that he is a
position to regain his health, to become well, to get rid of his catarrh;
but that if he meddles with that discharge from the penis he will never
recover.

- Just this kind of a case has been seen so often that there is no longer
a doubt about it.

- It is in the nature of gonorrhoea to go to the surface in the earlier
stage, and so when the catarrh comes on in vigorous constitutions soon
after the suppression of the discharge from the uretha it may locate itself
in the nose, but if the catarrh does not come on soon the constitution is
too weak for the catarrh to represent the disease, and it will be
represented on deeper tissues.

- Bright's disease may come, breaking down of the lungs, breaking down of
the liver, rheumatic affections of the worst form, finally killing the
patient."

COMMENTS BY DL

Evidence such as this show that gonorrhea N is not a local acute
disease! Many homoeopaths have had similar cases. It is hard to ignore the
return of an old suppressed gonorrhea.

Kent wrote:

"- Of course, the books will tell you that gonorrhoea is not a
constitutional disease; but when gonorrhoea will produce warts, and
gonorrhoeal rheumatism, and will last throughout life, and children be
brought into the world with the same disease, how are you going to get
around it?

- There was a young man in the St. Louis City Hospital who had been there
many months, and who was so sore in the bottoms of his feet that he could
not get around; he had to leave his business, he was a baker.

- Finally his old employer came to me and wanted to know if I could do
anything for young man.

- I did not know anything about the nature of his disease.

- I told him to bring the young man to me.

- He was brought, an I learned from his history that years before he had
had gonorrhoea; that it had been suppressed with injections.

- I put him under such constitutional treatment as these theories that I
have just mentioned guided me to, and I cured him.

- In our city I have cured twenty-five or thirty cases of this peculiar
kind of sycosis that dated back to a latent gonorrhoea."

COMMENTS BY DL

Although some allopaths might think gonorrhea N does not cause
constitutional sequels after treatment with injections and antibiotics the
records of homoeopaths show otherwise. Let us not follow them in their
ignorance! The gonorrheal N species of sycosis causes serous chronic
diseases. The early Homoeopaths also knew that not all gonorrheal type
discharges produced chronic diseases. They properly differentiate the acute
from the chronic gonorrheas. Kent also knew this! James wrote:

"I have observed this, that there are two types of gonorrhoea - one is
a simple urethral discharge, which when stopped by injections, will not
produce a constitutional taint, because that is not sycosis; and the other
from is the sycotic gonorrhoea, which, if suppressed with injections, will
appear in constitutional symptoms."

COMMENTS BY DL

IMO, sycotic gonorrhoea is caused by gonorrhea Neisserian. This is not
an acute or local disease. Just because we know that HPV causes genital
warts does no change the fact that we have 100 years of documentation
showing that gonorrhea N causes chronic constitutional disorders AND that
gonorrhea N and HPV warts are related in some cases. I think that the
allopathic explanation of these states is far too reductionist to be the
sole source of information about infections and sequels. I believe in the
group anamnesis, the time and progression of the related disease states and
symptoms, and the reversal of symptoms. I rest my case on the basis of the
work of generations of homoeopaths.

Dear Nadar et al,

I am going by the symptoms recorded in the Hahnemann Paris casebooks and
the fact that Hahnemann treated these symptoms with chronic anti-sycotic
remedies. He did not treat these cases of gonorrhea like a simple acute
diseases. He used remedies like Thuja, Nitric acid and
Cinnabaris during the course of treatment.
There are clear cases where Hahnemann treated the gonorrhea with Thuja
and other chronic anti-sycotics that had NO WARTS listed in the symptoms!
The osymptoms were only of classic gonorrhea N with a discharge and
complications. Even in primary gonorrhea he sometimes alternated remedies
like Cannabis and Thuja right from the start. This shows he considered them
to be sycotic states right from the start. These cases histories list NO
HPV warts and only show the symptoms of gonorrhea. I will be presenting a
detail case history of his gonorrhea and its treatment in my coming book.
Yes, we must bring all this materia up to date in harmony with our history
and principles.
Hahnemann treated both gonorrhea N and HPV with anti sycotic remedies
like Thuja in the Paris case books. What Hahnemann called sycosis seems to
be a mixture of gonorrhea N and HPV and possible other non syphiltic
venereal infections. The chronic symptoms of this spectrum of infections
have been observed for 160 years. During this time a massive amount of data
including detailed chronic symptoms have been collected. We simply cannot
ignore all this information as it has lead to 1000s of cures! These facts
cannot be ignored nor forgotten.

Hahnemann included mites (scabies), bacteria (leprosy, erysipelas,
boils, pimples), fungi (ringworm, tetter) and viruses (herpes) as primary
agents that transmit Psora. He knew very well that there were different
agents involved. Psora is a constitutional terrain associated with
suppressed skin infections not one microorganism. Hering stated that we may
have to include several subspecies under the title Psora. I agree with
this. That is why I have P1 (mites), P2 (bacteria) P3 (fungi) and P4
(viruses) as subgroups. I have even noticed variations on the Psora theme
with these 4 vectors but this work is yet to be completed.

I am doing the same thing with Sycosis. Sycosis 1 is HPV warts and
Sycosis 2 is gonorrheal sycosis. Some person have S-1, the wart disease,
and some have S-2 gonorrhea, and some have S-1 and S-2 (this is quite
common). There also may be other agents involved in sycosis just like there
are more than one agent involve is Psora. By the above logic we should get
rid of the term Psora and just call each infection by its disease name like
scabies, ringworm, herpes like the allopaths. IMO, this would be a useless
as it is all PSORA because the skin infection miasma is the inner terrain
related to a spectrum of infecdtions with a homogenous group of chronic
symptoms not an single pathogens.

I think sycosis may be a terrain related to a spectrum of microorganism
that all share a similar susceptibility, pathway of disease, and produce a
homogeneous set of chronic symptoms in patients. I believe that a number of
related microorganisms may piggyback one upon the other in the sycotic
terrain. There are also related opportunistic infections that appear as
part of this group as immuno-deficiency increases. I believe that we need
to look at the whole syndrome very carefully before taking things
completely apart and separating them.

Many of the symptoms we have collected on sycosis may be related to
gonorrheal sycosis. The chronic symptoms of HPV are yet to be studied in
depth by the group anamnesis. We have to chart the primary, latent and
secondary symptoms in a larger group to really understand the disease
state. I have observed, however, that the suppressive removal of genital
HPV tends to produce syndrome very similar to the symptoms we have already
recorded under the title sycosis. I have not recorded enough cases to be
definitive but my preliminary study shows that suppression is often
followed by affections of the genitals, back pains, joint pains, muscles
pains, foul smelling perspiration, etc. None of these symptoms are outside
classical sycosis.

Now my suggestion to list the differing agents as subspecies of sycosis
solves most of the problems. We can still use the general body of
information collected over the last 150 years under the general title
"sycosis" and we can refine the pictures of S-1 HPV sycosis and S-2
gonorrheal sycosis and have a very good look at what happens when one
suppresses genital chlamydia, tichomoniasis, etc. If they are found to
share the similar sycotic tertian and similar chronic symptoms they can be
included in S-3 and S-4, and their variations on the theme noted. I think
this is a good way to bring this material up to date in a homoeopathic way
without falling into the trap of reductionism like the allopaths.

Psora is the Mother of the miasms and sets the pattern for all that
follows. Psora is NOT based on one single infective agent! It is based on
an inner terrain produced by the suppression of a number of skin
infections. Sycosis, the first venereal disease, also may involve more than
one infective agent. My caution is to beware of automatically separating
everything by modern disease names and take a very long and hard look at
inner terrain changes, spectrums of related infections, similar pathways of
disease, and homogeneous symptom patterns.

Dear David,

Would you pls show us one of these cases of Hahnemann?
Treating N. gonorrhea with thuja does not mean that N. Gonorrhea is
sycotic. we all know that many remedies have capable of curing different
miasms.
Can we say that Psora is SYCOTIC because Thuja can cure Psora, too?!
Therefore isn't it better to call them based on their related
microorganisms? not by subdivisions such S1 or S2.
As far as I understood in your opinion, miasms are a collection of
symptoms with a specific pattern and picture and for this pattern there
is a spectrum of microorganisms and specific remedies? am I right?
Can not it be due to co-infection of N. Gonorrhea and HPV?
I agree with you but not with calling them as S1, S2 o S3 etc.
Regarding Psora we know that Hahnemann had mixed it with TB but IMO this
was the first step and even now Psora is a mixture of multiple miasms
which must separated like Sycosis.

Kind Regards,
Nader

Dear Nadar.

I am sorry but I can do this at this time. I am going to publish such
a case this year. These cases take years of work by an experienced team and
I will make them public at the proper time in a proper place.
I am saying much more than the above! In the Materia Medica Pura
Hahnemann said that "bad gonorrhea" was a sycotic diseases that should be
treated with Thuja. The Paris casebooks show that he treated :"bad
gonorrhea" with Thuja and other antip-sycotic remedies. I am noting that
Hahnemann treated the wart disease and severe gonorrhea with the same
anti-sycotic remedies like Thuja, Nit-ac and Cinnabaris. I am putting 2
(suggesting treating bad gonorrhea with Thuja in the MMP) + 2 (treating bad
cases of gonorrhea in the Paris Casebooks with Thuja) together and getting
4 = Hahnemann considered and treated gonorrhea as a sycotic disease.
Hahnemann considered Thuja his number on remedy and used in case of
gonorrhea that had NO WARTS. This type of historical evidence has to taken
into consideration and can not be so easily dismissed.
At this time, we have a very large group study under the name
"sycosis" that includes the symptoms of chronic gonorrhea and HPV as
interrelated non syphilitic venereal diseases. Perhaps they share a similar
terrain and produce a homogeneous set of symptoms on suppression. The first
phase for me is to study each of these subdivisions more closely by the
group case before rejecting traditional sycosis completely. If the symptoms
prove to homogeneous than there is no need for a complete separation. If
the symptoms prove to be to heterogeneous they have to be separated. I
believe we need to study the suppression of each genus species more
carefully by the group cases in many sufferers before making major changes
in terms and classifications. We can not just follow what is written in the
allopathic books.
I am saying that "some miasms" may be based on similar disease
pathways and a shared terrain that appears on the suppression more than one
microorganism. Psora certainly has more than one microorganisms involved so
this sets a precedent in this regard. If one goes just by microorganisms
like the allopathic books then the term Psora should be replaced with 10 to
20 new skin miasms. Hahnemann was very well aware that scabies and leprosy
were not caused by the same microorganisms but he included ALL suppressed
skin infections under the title Psora. We best not look only at the name of
the microorganism. I think we should also study similar inner terrains,
spectrums of susceptibility, similar pathways of diseases, and similar
groups of symptoms, etc. If all the primary infections of psora cause a
homogeneous group of symptoms on suppression than the term Psora is valid.
Psora is a internal terrain not the name of one microorganism. Sycosis may
be similar.
The cases suppressed HPV I am observing have never had gonorrhea N. That is
part of my criteria for the studies. So far the symptoms I have seen are
homogeneous with the symptoms found under the title "sycosis". It is too
early to be definitive as all good things take time.
Sycosis a syndrome that covers a set of common non syphilitic venereal
diseases. I am noting the different types of sycosis as subspecies at this
time so I can investigate their group symptoms more closely. If I find that
any a group of infective agents causes homogeneous symptoms I am going to
include them. If any one infective agent produces heterogeneous symptoms I
am going to separate it. This is a scientific way of proceeding in
accordance with homoeopathic principles.
To separate Psora into 10 perhaps 20 new miasms like the allopathic
books is easy but is it right? Hahnemann knew that mites and leprosy were
different infections but he viewed Psora as a internal terrain not a single
microorganism. He saw the decline in the internal terrain as part of the
development of Psora that contributed to an increase in virulency. The
suppression of skin infections has contributed to a decline in the internal
terrain and immune system making human beings weaker and microorganism more
dangerous. He observed the suppression of a number of infections over the
centuries caused inner changes in the constitutional terrain he called
internal psora and lead to mutation of virulency. This hypothesis raises a
number of interesting questions about susceptibility, terrain changes,
spectrums of infections, mutations, pathways of diseases, hereditary
decline and more! These ideas should not be replaced automatically by the
names of microorganisms without looking at the bigger picture Hahnemann
called Psora!

IMO, to drop the term "Psora" and replace it with scabies,
staphylococci, leprosy, etc., like the allopaths may be too reductionist. I
prefer a more middle path approach that takes into account similar
susceptibilities, similar terrains, similar pathways of disease, mutations,
opportunistic infections and similar groups of homogenous symptoms along
with the names of infective microorganisms. Psora is an inner terrain
produced by the suppression of skin infections that leads to a homogeneous
group of symptoms associated with chronic sequels. This suppression opens
the constitution up to a number of infections that can not be look at as
complete unrelated diseases like the allopaths. To look in a one sided
manner at the microorganisms and forget the inner terrain is a mistake
Pasteur made for years. Remember on his death bed he said: *The terrain is
everything - the bacteria are nothing*. Let us not ignore the inner terrain
related to the miasms and only look only outwardly at the microorganisms.

Hello David, Ardavan, all,

Talking about the bigger picture, it isn't always clear weather the
micro-organism are the cause or a symptom of the change in constitutional
terrain.
To add an element to this:
I agree with David that it is to simple to say that a miasm is just a
certain infectious disease. Beside that it is a fundamental disturbance of
the vital force, causing changes in the constitution, but it also method of
disease classification.
Those multiple facets make the discussion so complicated.
Interesting part is that constitutional changes caused by mineral
deficiencies over many generation also play a part in this. It is no
coincidence that the mineral remedies are so important in the treatment of
the miasms.
I would say this is also an integral part of the miasm, is it a cause or
symptom, we don't really know, but in my opinion it also belongs to the same
miasmatic circle.

Interesting article on this subject is the article by Daniel P. Towle, D.C.,
DNBHE:
Miasms: A Theoretical Review of an Antiquated Concept"

Hello David, Ardavan, all,

Talking about the bigger picture, it isn't always clear weather the
micro-organism are the cause or a symptom of the change in constitutional
terrain.
To add an element to this:
I agree with David that it is to simple to say that a miasm is just a
certain infectious disease. Beside that it is a fundamental disturbance of
the vital force, causing changes in the constitution, but it also method of
disease classification.
Those multiple facets make the discussion so complicated.
Interesting part is that constitutional changes caused by mineral
deficiencies over many generation also play a part in this. It is no
coincidence that the mineral remedies are so important in the treatment of
the miasms.
I would say this is also an integral part of the miasm, is it a cause or
symptom, we don't really know, but in my opinion it also belongs to the same
miasmatic circle.

Interesting article on this subject is the article by Daniel P. Towle, D.C.,
