Thanks for the info, Shannon. Grant's system looks quite useful though it should be pointed out that he is redefining what a miasm means vs. Hahnemann (adaptive stress response/evolution vs pathology/devolution) and discusses these differences.
He also comments in the video that his system is not intended for inherited miasmatic diseases.
Since I have two inherited miasmatic diseases determining current "active" miasm may not be that useful.
As I'm writing about on the homeopathy mail list, I started Tuberculinum after much reading on miasmatic prescribing.. After recently discovering the constitutional antipsoric LM I've been taking, and so helpful for me, is not considered anti-sycotic, it forced me to reconsider nosodes other than Medh which had been helpful. Now taking Tub in split dose, in one week, my blood sugar has went down to all time lows, at times, in addition to feeling quite relaxed, peaceful and physically better, though certainly not yet cured of diabetes. It has allowed me to reduce, at times, injected insulin I recently begun. Also, this has been the longest I've not taken the antipsoric that "cures" bipolar and has allowed me to not take lithium after 35 years.
For those not familiar with Hahnemann's Advanced Methods, or choose to ignore them, instead of taking one dry dose, here 200C, you dissolve the dry dose in liquid, here 4 ounces water, succuss, here 6 hard bangs plus 6 shakes, and take more often, for me daily. Thus you are distributing the power of the single dry dose more evenly and often, attenuating it by succussion, as Hahnemann discovered the vital force responds much better to slight increases in potency vs. repeated dry dosing which I've experienced.
I've found 1/2 teaspoons work better than one teaspoon for a dose, thus have been taking two 1/2 teaspoons per day, experiencing good results. I've only used 1/3 of the 4 ounce botttle so have only taken 1/3 the dose of a single 200C dry dose, so far, that I would have gotten by taking it dry.
Not sure if the HFA method would have led me to Tub, since one rubric of Tub I used is secretion behind the ear, which I've had for years on and off, which would not show up on facial pictures. Now that has subsided while on Tub. Additionally, diabetes is considered primarily a tubercular miasmatic disease, from what I've read, plus Tub seems to work well in bipolar as mania/melancholy is discussed in the MM.
Possibly Tub is my simillimum regardless of its nosode status and I may switch to LM to see if it works even better and faster.
We do need more homeopaths around the world and HFA looks like a good way to attract newbies besides encouraging miasmatic prescribing vs. pathological. We can't expect all new homeopaths are going to immediately delve deeply into the original texts and writings of our Founder, his peers and great successors and learn classical homeopathy the long hard way though nothing should replace learning as much as we can from our past and basic principles. As Grant showed, he repetorized a rubric with 311 remedies and reduced it down to 11 remedies, much easier to deal with. Successful HFA cases could encourage homeopaths to further their knowledge. Like the Olympics, we can have gold, silver and bronze homeopaths and cases appropriate for each.
