Minutus

Dear David,

in your
you give a brief account on multi-miasmic remedies.

Surely there are many remedies with specific effect on certain chronic
miasms.
However, I read in various books and articles the opinion that in
certain cases a severe chronic miasm can only be rooted out by giving
one of the miasmic nosodes: psorinum, medorrhinum, syphilinum,
tuberculinum (Koch)
What do you think about?
Can a chorinc miasm be defeated without the miasmic nosodes?

Yours sincerly,
Claudia

Dear Claudia,

I have treated many very protracted chronic miasmatic cases
successfully without the nosodes. Granted, however, nosodes are very
important remedy to understand and know when to apply them in such cases.
It is question of studying the characteristic rubrics very carefully and
applying the remedy with the most similar symptoms. Hering, the father of
the nosodes, was of the opinion that when nosodes were used in the same
diseases from which they are made they were only useful as chronic
intercurrent remedies and needed to be complimented by remedies from the
mineral, plant and animal worlds to complete the cure. He taught that the
only time the nosode is completely curative on its own is when its
characteristic symptoms are active in the patient and it is the simillimum.
