Dear Hart
Please read Hn's writings on the meaning of miasm and then report back. For this exercise, please ignore all other 'definitions' of miasm.
Best regards

Hi all,
I, too, would like to applaud Didi for her thorough casetaking and resourceful prescribing (as well as for her organization's work). But when I finished reading her post, I was also surprised at the use of the terms "cure" and "miasm" in the subject line.
Leaving aside entirely the idea of a pertussis miasm (as opposed to a disease layer), I agree with John that it would be good to apply a rigorous standard of cure when publishing our cases..
So, what do the people on this list think is a reasonable amount of time without relapse to claim a cured case? At a recent talk in the U.S., Massimo Mangialavori proposed a disease-free period of 4-5 years.
For an infant, perhaps a shorter time would be reasonable?
Regards,
