Miasmatic influence

[Ellen Madono]

Hi,

Gosh Therea you know those who belongs to that hodgepodge of symptoms.
How funny. You Brits. I wish I knew the crazies of my history so
well.

According to Grant Bentley's facial analysis, I am syphilitic and I
have found a number of my patients who also fit his syphilitic
definition. I would not place myself as very close to crazy nor am I
suffering with huge amounts of deteriorating tissue. The Hahnemannian
pathological miasmatic definitions leave me baffled because anyone
with that much inborn destruction stands a very poor chance of
reproduction. How are those "genes" passed on? Each miasm needs a
functional description. Not pure pathology.

Bentley says a high functioning, high energy persons like myself can
be syphilitic. The difference from the other miasms is the energy is
inward. The syphilitic miasm does not get energy from outside. So, I
had a syphilitic aurum the other day. She is extremely social and
constructive. Hard working of course. So much so that she can't
rest. You might have a hard time seeing the syphilitic aspect except
she is suffering from some kind of nerve problem. (vertigo,
headaches, restless feet and leg tension that are nerve related).

I am very interested in this interpretation of miasms. Anyone else
into Bentley's work?

Best,
Ellen

The wars in Europe have a lot to answer for!
A mass grave was dug up a few years bag in a town that is half way between Moscow and Paris. It contained Napoleonic soldiers.
The examination of their bones showed that nearly 80% had had syphilis!
Syphilis was rampant at the time of Hahnemann.
Both Gonorrhoea and Syphilis were at high levels during the first and second world wars. Whether they had been allopathically treated or not the miasm was there (Kent has a case about this). And what was it the soldiers did when they got home?
So that is why cases in Europe especially are sometimes so hard. Yet you go to the villages in Eastern Europe and you see cases that are walking materia medica.
Sadly most of the higher echelons of the society were also affected because of their continuing lack of morals - ie the wife was to produce an heir and then after that what they did was their own business - this continues to date when one reads stories about certain Briticism royalty!

I knew it was Hviii because Joy said it was!! There is the 'golden boy' side of syphilinum, as with Fluor ac, though and Hviii was reputed to be very good looking in his youth - and a poet to boot.

Ah! Well, if there was ever a homoeopathic version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" and the last big question was "...what would you consider to be the miasmatic influence of..." I'd lock in the answer which said "Hahnemann's original list of secondary active psora" - which he assembled from his actual case journals. The list contains tubercular, sycotic and some syphilitic symptoms which, apart from Merc and Thuja, he was able to treat with the anti-psorics (mostly multi-miasmatic remedies).
I think I should get a consolation prize!

I also am very interested in his work! (Managed to read his first book before my study time dried up (sob), and an hoping to get back at it, with his website, Facebook posts, and new book!!).
