Hi Simon,
Peter Fraser wrote an interesting book: 'The AIDS Miasm
Contemporary Disease and the New Remedies':
Technological advances, particularly advances in communication technology,
create stresses in the vital balance of human beings. These stresses are
countered by symptoms, diseases that match the original stresses.
In some circumstances the new technology is so significant that it brings
about a major shift in our understanding of the world. These major shifts
are answered by a myriad different diseases but one, venereal disease
encompasses the spirit of them all. These are the main miasmatic diseases.
Psora was the response to speech and tools;
Sycosis was the response to writing and the wheel;
and Syphilis was the response to printing and industrialization.
In our own time AIDS has been the response to the stresses induce by
electronic media.
Miasmatic remedies are ones that correspond to some part of the diseases
that arise from the dynamic stresses, not just ones that are used to treat
the miasmatic disease itself.
When we have acclimatized to technological change and found a new balance
the stresses involved in maintaining that balance are different and a new
set of semi miasmatic diseases arise.
The Hydrophobic or Acute Miasm corresponds to settled Psora;
the Tubercular to settled Sycosis
and the Cancer to settled Syphilis.
It is too early to be sure about what settled AIDS will be but there are
indications that it may correspond to a CJD/Alzheimer's Miasm.
As each individual replays the evolution of both his species and his
culture. So it follows that the individual may be particularly affected by
the stresses of a particular point in his development. This may be a very
specific point or it may be more general and miasmatic.
By looking at the combined pattern of the stresses, the nosode and the
remedies that appear to belong to the miasm it is possible to form a picture
of the miasm as a whole. Using proving symptoms to describe that picture
ensures that they are described in the language of the remedies and allows
some understanding of the slight differences between remedies when dealing
with very similar issues.
