they are very easily to see in most patients. The difference between a
phlegmatic temperament and a sanguine temperament IS as obvious as the
difference between water and fire. The same may be said about sycosis and
TB because the follow similar innate patterns! Sycosis produces cold,
watery retentions and causes unhealthy weight and growths gain while TB
produces heat, fever, sweat and emaciation. These are opposites. It is
important to understand the collective symptoms categories that found in
homeopathy. Two of the major categories related to constitutional
temperaments and chronic miasms, which of course, are interelated.
Hello all,

Interesting to note is that the real primary problem of Sycosis is in the
element Earth and this is compensated for with symptoms of the element
Water. ie Thuja has the delusion he is brittle or made of glass, which is an
earth problem, but this is protected with a lovable (water) image to keep
people on distance.
In the Ayurveda the earthy elements Earth and Water are interconnected in
the dosha Kapha.
The same is true for the TB picture, the real problem is in the element Air,
the element air is always on the move, is connected to the longs. The way
Tuberculinic people are build suit the melancholic type which has a cold
thin long body.
This is compensated with the opposite Fire reaction, an energetic attempt
trying to find a home.
Air an Fire are the spiritual elements.
TB and Sycosis are opposites, TB compensates the psoric "lacking" with
spirituality and esoteric issues and loses weight.
Sycosis compensates the same issue with material things, such as money, body
weight, possessions, company, sex etc.

Kind regards, Piet

Thanks that's an interesting analysis.. food for thought...
How does it help in finding the medicine... do you follow some such
analysis method for medicines as well? If not how is it going to
help...

The way I have understood homeopathic materia medica and remedy
selection is as if we have the solutions to problems ready and we
are searching for problems...

Where other medical therapies need to find the causation of the
disease or find out the diagnosis in terms of humors, temperaments (
this is necessary for treating it) or meridian flows, homeopathy has
the solutions and needs to match it with the problem... that is our
is Solution Focused in comparison to others which are problem
focused. While every little thing helps,in homeopathy because of
the nature of the focus on the solution and not on the problem such
factors like temperaments, Five elements, even diagnosis take the
back seat as it were. Once again I am NOT denying the importance of
diagnosis but I am saying it is not primary in the approach to
cases. (As I once said there was this lay-homeopath in India who
cured a menstrual problem of the wife of a doctor and when the
amazing doctor enquired on what basis the prescription ( which
cured) was made - to sound knowledgeable - the homeopath said he
prescribed for her prostate...)

For example - when I was an allopathic doctor my approach would be -
this fever is it a malaria, typhoid, pneumonia or viral fever ( all
diagnostic classifications) As a Siddha / Ayurveda practitioner - it
would be is it a vadha-pitta fever or pitta - kapha etc. so that I
would know what the excretion paths are and what diet should be
given and what medicine to give - still the diagnosis is problem
focused I am trying to understand the problem...

whereas as a homeopath my approach is -"for this fever - is it
Aconite, or Bell or Bry or whatever what is indicated"... The
homoepathic diagnosis is a remedy diagnosis not a disease diagnosis -
for us the disease is the medicine is the disease...

the attitude is much more Solution Focused and therapy focused than
other systems... so all the theories that come up including Psora/
constitutions/ temperaments / or whatever if they are not Solution
focused are sometimes seen as confusing than illuminating...I like
the miasmatic theory because it allows me some routinism and in that
way limits the remedies I need to search- once again my remedy
diagnosis becomes easier because of that - but I am not really
excited by Hahnemann's or others explanations till now as to what
the cause is....
