Minutus

Dear Joy,
I didn't want to bother anybody,I only asked some questions.
If no-one wants to continue our discussion then I stop it,too.it was very interesting for me that Maism discussions always end in nothing,why?may be Miasm theory is useless and I think that it is very important and every Homeopaths must know and understand it!.
Thanx everybody how joined in this discussion.
BTW,I have been practicing,studying and teaching Homeopathy and have seen more that 5000 patients.

Kind Regards,

hi Nader,

I'm trying to think just what this would mean. I suppose it would mean
that, because of the deep underlying disease, acutes would be only mild
(rather than being absent entirely)? So at one end of the spectrum we have
someone who is basically healthy but gets occasional sharp, clearly limited
acutes. At the other end we have someone who is deeply ill (severe mental
or physical disease) but who does not get *any* acutes at all. In between
would be your example below, where the strong old disease repels new weak
ones in "degrees", which would (I suppose) mean that there are *some*
acutes, but they are pretty mild, and with pretty non-remarkable symptoms.

I thought that we *do* sometimes see this? I have been taught that a strong
vital force throws up a clear (and more easily readable) symptom picture,
whereas a weak vital force (i.e. a person who is deeply ill?) tends toward
acutes that are not clearly expressed, not clearly delineated (slow onset
and hazy and incomplete resolution), more apt to need a very specific remedy
("close-enoughicum" is apt to not be "close enough" for them), more apt to
need a "small" or unusual remedy (which is probably just another way of
saying the same thing). Wouldn't this be an example of old disease
*partially* repelling the new?

Dear Shannon,

This does not mean that new disease is weaker then older one.Acute disease are of two type 1-acute epidemic 2- flare up of miasms.
In acute epidemics the pathogenesis is high and it can affect many individual.therefore suppose this acute epidemic disease wants to affect many individuals.as you said "at one end of the spectrum we have someone who is basically healthy but gets occasional sharp, clearly limited
acutes"at this instance VF reaction is very good and we see sharp symptoms and at the other end we have someone who is deeply ill but who does not get *any* acutes at all,this means that the older disease is stronger than new acute epidemic disease and completely repels new acute.In between situation as you said "there are *some* acutes, but they are pretty mild, and with pretty non-remarkable symptoms",in this instance the new acute is stronger than older one that can affect the patient but not so stronger than former to suspend all of older disease symptoms,on the other hand VF is not so healthy to show sharp sign in response to acute epidemic disease,therefore in this situation we see rather mild form of acute epidemic disease and some remarkable symptoms of older disease.this is the situation which are seen in complex disease in which the new miasm is not so stronger than older one or at least it is equal in strength to older one.
It is very interesting that in those patient with sever disease when acute epidemic disease is prevalent our genus epidemic remedy is not serviceable even the patient acute state may be similar to epidemic,because his/her signs&symptoms are due to flare up of his/her miasm not because of acute epidemic disease.This has been quoted in & 241:

"Those epidemics of intermittent fever that occur outside areas where such fevers are endemic have the nature of chronic diseases composed of single, acute attacks. Each epidemic has its own self-same character which is common to all of the individuals who are taken ill. If the character of the epidemic disease is discovered according to the symptom complex common to all the patients [i.e. , the genus epidemicus], this will point to the homeopathically fitting (specific) remedy for the totality of the cases. This remedy almost always helps in those patients who enjoyed tolerably good health before the epidemic, that is, who were not """chronically sick with developed psora""".

Best,
Nader
