Minutus

Hello Dr. F. Shaddel,

Thanks for your insightful contribution to this list.
Yes, there is a paradox between Aphorism 13 and 40-42.
But isn't the approach we take depending of the case we meet?
In some cases the simillimum is obvious, but in other cases the choice is
not that evident.
When we subdivide the totality of symptoms concerning the present and the
past, this according to Hahnemann can be done safely by means of the chronic
miasms. By this method we prescribe for the present totality, but somehow we
neglect the true totality. This leads sometimes to remarkable opinions of
people that claim there can be two or more totalities at the same time.
I agree the underlying miasmatic susceptibility/ predisposition contributes
to a more general disease classification. For this reason some teacher say
there are only three (main) miasms, Psora, Sycosis, Syphilis. According to
them all other forms are mixtures of those three.
I hope you find the time to write that other article.

Kind regards, Piet

Dear Piet,
I have no problem with what you're saying. I am just saying that your definition of miasm is actually 'chronic miasm' in Hahnemann's terminology.

Ardavan

Dear Ardavan,

Exactly, this is their effect, but this doesn't belong to the infection
state, but is does belong to the miasm.
So you can't say miasm and infection are equivalent. They are or could be
closely related, that's true', but are not the same.
The term "infections and their sequels" like David uses is much better, and
that's the Hahnemannian way.
This is not splitting hairs, because this has some implications, like I
explained before.

I rest my case,

Kind regards, Piet

Dear Piet,

Does it matter to consider Miasm equivalent to "Infectious disease" or
to "infections and their sequels" ?

Kind Regards,
