SUMMARY FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION:
Not very substantiated nor clever, but will add a couple of cents...
AH
To summarize for further discussion, at least two questions are being
posed here:
1. Why does (a crude TB preparation at some place and time reportedly)
protect against Leprosy but not against TB?
2 Why in this case does a (crude form attenuated pathogen) appear to work
homeopathically for prophylaxis ( Leprosy protection) when its isopathic
properties (TB protection) do not apparently operate. (This question has
further extensions in order to try to understand:
-- if (potentized or unpotentized) isopathy and homeopathy work by the
same mechanism;
- why isopathy generally works in prophylaxis but not in settled disease;
while homeopathy can work in both cases…)
==============================================
A.IDEA: Dr. J (paraphrased, I hope accurately): Mycobacterium tub and
Myco. Hansenii are taxonomic relatives and thus a nonspecific could
(either provoke humoral immunity, or act via resonance or other mechanism
to eliminate a sufficient portion of miasmatic susceptibility – not sure
Dr. J specified one or the other or both of the latter as mechanism).
B. IDEA: Irene: There is a principle of replacement per Hahnemann (Aph 45,
analogy of sunlight replacing light from a candle) - the one disease
replaces the other.
Prophylaxis is merely an extension of a proving exercise - done in such
a way as to induce the health improvement (resistance) without incurring
the actual proving symptoms - as if those go "under the radar".
As it says in the Organon - provers will develop resistance to the
symptoms they proved (Aph 141) and be more robust, healthier, etc. This
*does* involve isode resistance.
One has to combine the two principles - the stronger light overtaking
the candle - with the proving principle in developing resistance - to
manage an *effective* prophylaxis in my view.
With TB and Leprosy or other very similar systems - the replacement
will happen without an abnormally high strength of remedy being needed.
To get replacement of identical symptoms you need a lot higher strength
(sunshine as compared to a candle) and that is NOT available in TB
versus Leprosy vaccines as the vaccines used are akin to tincture -
there is no potency involved. (Irene)
===============================
C. Analysis and further ideas for discussion (AH):
===============================
Assumption analysis:
First Assumption --Where is the data (common medical knowledge, or
statistically proven?) of this phenomenon. How widespread is it? Is there
a TB vaccine that appears to "work" for prophylaxis of TB?
Second Assumption -- These questions mix the ideas of antigenic
provocation (humoral immunity effects); and resonance (based on pattern
similarity in the language of symptoms) effect on miasm (inherited
infectious disease remnants in the host). The crude vaccine may do both,
though resonance effect may also be absent because it is unpotentized and
not of the optimal potency.
So that is one problem in our beginning assumptions, as Irene suggests.
We compare crude preparations - with our theory based on potentized ones.
Not that crude ones cannot have law of similars effects – we know that
they can. But it is a different analysis to compare our theory using
mostly potentized isopathics – with crude isopathic preparations.
**Potency** IS a significant variable as well as similarity, as Dr. P.
Banerjea has proven extensively.
In Law of Similars medicine we usually deal with potentized rx with no
chemicals or biological antigens – the effect from these can ONLY be
nonphysical (mostly, we posit, by similarity (pattern resonance). The
target is miasmatic terrain which is highly likely to be only nonphysical
-- as its transmission between generations occurs without apparent
physical bodies (although those bodies identified by Bechamp, etc and
ignored by mainstream microbiology are a possibility). Vaccines have
crude antigens AND pathogenic (symptom-producing) properties (effects on
miasmatic terrain if potency correct). So potentized and crude isopathic
preparations are different animals, difficult to compare one-to-one.
This is not to say that **potentized** isopathics do not affect antigen
receptors and provoke humoral immunity. The mechanism of potentized
isopathy may include some effect there, as antigen receptors may respond
to nonphysical as well as chemical stimulus, as the cell is animated by a
template which is its double, yet nonphysical. But it seems likely that
potentized isopathy (when it works) works mostly by the same principle as
homeopathicity. Destructive resonance of nonphysical pathogens (foreign
vital bodies inherited from the parents = miasms) seems the most likely
mechanism. Grafting a replacement state temporarily is not here considered
to be either homeopathy or isopathy, though Irene is likely correct that
this is anyway one possible mechanism of some of the homeopathic
prophylaxis remedies we use.
=========
Comments (AH):
=========
Dr. J points out that prophylaxis of the nontarget disease (Leprosy) is
here provoked by a **simile** (“closeenoughicum”) (TB vaccine) without
premeditation, (as opposed to an isopathic or homeopathic prophylactic
based on preordained theory). As happens occasionally, an empirical
result by law of similars from an "allopathic" intervention goes
unexplained and uninvestigated by the "orthodoxy". But the phenomenon
remains for us to discuss from the perspective of resonance (Law of
Similars) medicine.
Dr. J’s hypothesis presents that symptom similarity and resulting
prophylactic action here is related to **taxonomic relation**. We know
there is a relation between conventional taxonomy and symptom producing
capability to some significant extent. We know this from other areas of
homeopathy, in plants, animals, fungi, and even elements. So one view is
that the Linnean/genetic relative Myco. tub apparently provokes immunity
to Myco. hansenii by homeopathic similarity – in this case empirically by
happenstance. Irene discusses this phenomena in her analogy using
smallpox and cowpox. Related animal diseases can be used for homeopathic
prophylaxis, e.g. Malandrinum (horse grease) for smallpox. Malandrinum
may be a horse expression of smallpox, or a related pathogen.
Irene also suggests that the effect of Leprosy prophylaxis in this case
could be one of disease-grafting.
========================================================
WHY DOES ISOPATHY FAIL FOR PROPHYLAXIS IN THIS SITUATION?
========================================================
If the isopathic effect (TB prophylaxis) of this crude preparation is
absent, this IMO does not present a question of failure of isopathy as we
think of it. Mode of preparation (not enough strains used, etc) could
be one variable. Vaccine contamination another. Potency issue (TB miasm
not affected by crude when would be affected by potentized…) might be the
most **likely** explanation.
We do not see isopathy ever failing **completely** for prophylaxis. That
isopathic prophylaxis can work with a high degree of efficacy is strongly
suggested by records and statistics taken in epidemics extending back into
the 1830’s, after Hering introduced nosodes and invented isopathic
prophylaxis. This was already presented ad nauseum on minutus a couple of
years back. Saine (1988) from exhaustive literature search and personal
experience, cites an isopathic as - across the board -- 80% effective in
prophylaxis.
I suggest that the anomaly in isopathic failure of TB in this situation
from a crude preparation -- is not in a vagary of isopathic mechanism --
but is related either to the formula for the vaccine (strains);
contamination/method of prep of the vaccine; or (perhaps most likely) a
potency issue.
======================================
Why does the Leprosy prophylaxis occur here?
======================================
As to why the Leprosy prophylaxis would happen in absence of TB
prophylaxis, both Dr. J and Irene’s proposed explanations are attractive.
Either symptom similarity is happening (homeopathic by taxonomic
relation); or the vaccine is grafting a low-level disease which is similar
and long-lived enough to replace the miasmatic (my hypothesis: inherited
nonphysical microbial vital body) level of susceptibility that exists on
the surface of those whom would otherwise have been infected by the
Leprosy pathogen. Either or both could be occurring. As Dr. J says, it
could be a game of speculation -- without a study that would take funding
and full-time research.
==================================================
Why does Isopathy work for prevention, but not treatment of extant disease?
==================================================
Idem (remedy from identical source substance) is specific to the
pathogenic organism with or without its physical body; **not** its
expression in the host as a "disease" or "suffering" (pathy)). The "pathy"
involves the complex nonphysical (miasmatic) taints of the individual
sufferer and the pattern produced by its interaction with an whole-microbe
infection. Only an agent in resonance similar to that pattern of
**suffering** will “knock off” that state.
So isopathic will work by (probably) partial resonant destruction of
nonphysical microbes in a host **before** a colonization occurs. - or
possibly early in one. But *after* a colonization starts to become an
“infection” - the remedy must be similar to the whole response of the
organismal unit, as Shannon points out. It must be similar to the
suffering (homeopathic). This complex of suffering response is in turn a
representation of presence of nonphysical microbe vital bodies which
accelerated the colonization and allowed the infection (this is my
hypothesis). Iatrogenic influences mix up the situation and make
explanations difficult, and most of the population has some degree of this
modification.
Hypothesis: the suffering already occurring is stopped by resonance with
the pattern which is both the susceptibility and the extant disease *as
expressed*. The susceptibility itself is due (my hypothesis) to foreign
vital force bodies of the same specie (or close enough) of the infecting
whole microbes being already present in the host - so as to greatly
accelerate reproduction. Exponential increase of daughter cells is
effected, as there are already nonphysical microbial vital bodies of that
species existing in the host that can occupy the bodies of dividing cells.
This idea is still at the hypothesis stage as explanation of what a miasm
IS (cf. paragraph 148- sixth edition).
Isopathy is for the dormant miasm only. Homeopathy is matched to the
extant disease which is a reflection of that dormant miasm and the same or
close specie whole microbe (vital program plus physical vessel) which the
host imbibes; and the whole state of the organism before the imbibement.
So isopathy does not work when the response and symptoms of the disease
are EXTANT – because the remedy made from the pathogen is not similar to
the whole complex of miasmatic susceptibility. That complex results in
the expression of symptoms on which we base our similarity between
organismal state and remedy.
=======================
Homeopathic Prophylaxis
=======================
**Homeopathic*** prophylaxis has various angles for similarity, and is
more hit-and-miss than isopathic (we have, for example many suggested
homeopathic prophylactics for Malaria).
Genius epidemicus (in the special case of the single-remedy epidemic
(typically a virulent (e.g. mutated) strain in an unsuppressed population
which now is only found in isolated rural areas)) – is close to 100%
effective in both prophylaxis and treatment of the disease extant . But
requires advance information on the symptom picture. So can only be used
as a prophylactic when the disease is already nearby.
Some perennial homeopathic prophylactics “specific homeopathic
prophylactics” exist also, e.g. Bell for Smooth scarlatina. The latter
also have good prophylactic track records, but there are few that have
been identified as natural substances (Ramakrishnan and Mitra are doing
very good work on this; Chappell makes these specifics electromagnetically
based on the group totality of the peculiars of the disease, acute or
chronic).
But other homeopathic prophylactics have been successfully used which are
neither recent and local genius epidemici nor “specifics” – (e.g. Nat-m,
China, for Malaria). The latter are occasional genius epidemici, and so
may be closeenoughicums...or they fail.
======================
Summary of Prophylaxis
======================
So, for prophylaxis, we first have chronic treatment, but this must be
going very well, and have gone up the scale of potencies (Kentian method)
according to Pierre Schmidt, in order to confer broad immunity.
For proactive methods, we have isopathics and homeopathic “specifics” as
first line of defense.
When the extant dangerous disease has erupted nearby, if Genius group
totality remedy or remedies have been identified, then a very good
homeopathic prophylactic might be identified *a priori* to arrival
locally, based on info provided by homeopaths elsewhere.
But otherwise, we have mostly hit or miss homeopathic prophylactics, some
with better records than others. Level of success is in part probably a
matter of nature of the miasmatic terrain of the local populace, and the
local strains of the pathogen. The typical local expression of the
disease in the population will have a homeopathic “closeenoughicum” which
local practitioners will find empirically.
==========================================
Grafting of State as a means of Prophylaxis by Replacement
==========================================
Remedies that are neither genius epidemici nor “specifics” can also be
used for homeopathic prophylaxis. As Irene posits, some of our homeopathic
prophylaxis may well have to do with temporary grafting of a “replacement
state” which takes the organism as a whole out of the spectrum of
resonance with certain pathogenic influences. If so, this is a more crude
and artificial form of the art of prophylaxis -- as we are not destroying
a relevant portion of the miasmatic susceptibility in the host terrain.
But still valuable, of course, and markedly less damaging than its crude
counterpart.
