Dear Nader,
When I wrote 'He is comparing these forces to some
types of infections which he believed can affect the
organism unconditionally irrespective of the strength
of the organism to adapt. He has repeatedly mentioned
his idea that 'Psora' his proposed old infectious
disease can affect even the most robust constitutions
(in introduction to his 'Chronic Diseases....')', I
was referring to the following description of Psora by
Hahnemann and not the comparison of Natural and
Medicinal diseases in Aphorisms 32 and 33. I think
that using the word 'unconditionally' which is a
keyword in these 2 aphorisms, lead to this confusion.
"PSORA is that most ancient, most universal, most
destructive, and yet most misapprehended chronic
miasmatic disease which for many thousands of years
has disfigured and tortured mankind, and which during
the last centuries has become the mother of all the
thousands of incredibly various (acute and) chronic
(non-venereal) diseases, by which the whole civilized
human race on the inhabited globe is being more and
more afflicted. PSORA is the oldest miasmatic chronic
disease known to us. Just as tedious as syphilis and
sycosis, and therefore not to be extinguished before
the last breath of the longest human life, unless it
is thoroughly cured, since not even the most robust
constitution is able to destroy and extinguish it by
its own proper strength, Psora, or the Itch disease,
is beside this the oldest and most hydra-headed of all
the chronic miasmatic diseases. In the many thousands
of years during which it may have afflicted mankind, -
for the most ancient history of the most ancient
people does not reach to its origin, - it has so much
increased in the extent of its pathological
manifestations - an extent which may to some degree be
explained by its increased development during such all
inconceivable number of years in so many millions of
organisms through which it has passed, - that its
secondary symptoms are hardly to be numbered. And, if
we except those diseases which have, been created by a
perverse medical practice or by deleterious labors in
quicksilver, lead, arsenic, etc., which appear in the
common pathology under a hundred proper names as
supposedly separate and well-defined diseases (and
also those springing from syphilis and the still rarer
ones springing from sycosis), all the remaining
natural chronic diseases, whether with names or
without them, find in PSORA their real origin, their
only source……….PSORA has thus become the most
infectious and most general of all the chronic
miasmas. For the miasm has usually been communicated
to others before the one from whom it emanates has
asked for or received any external repressive remedy
against his itching eruption (lead-water, ointment of
the white precipitate of mercury), and without
confessing that he had an eruption of itch, often even
without knowing it himself; yea, without even the
physician's or surgeon's knowing the exact nature of
the eruption which has been repressed by the lotion of
lead, etc. It may well be conceived that the poorer
and lower classes, who allow the itch to spread on
their skin for a long time, until they become an
abomination to all around them and are compelled to
use something to remove it, must have in the meanwhile
infected many." (Introduction to Chronic Diseases -
Samuel Hahnemann"
