Easy Guide to Miasmatics " It is true that thousands of practitioners today recognise psora, and all the chronic

miasms, for that matter, as internal constitutional affections. But, not knowing the methods, which Hahnemann employed, or not being acquainted with a law of cure, they cannot apply internal medicines in a way that will remove their effects from the organism. Therefore not knowing what else to do, they resort to expedients of all kinds, not as a matter of choice, but from that of necessity. The majority of men are honest in these things, and would gladly adopt our methods if they understood them. But they are so diverse and so different from the teachings of the scientists of today that in order to change their methods of treatment they would, to a great degree, have to abandon or cast aside their present teachings and knowledge of physiology and pathology in general. So that even their conception of life as well as therapeutics, must be changed. They would have to put a dynamic life force being in their physiology and abandon their theory of chemical action as governing the growth and repair of the organism. Replacing it with Hahnemann's dynamic theory of both disease and life." Prof.J.H.Allen "THE CHRONIC MIASMS" (1960 Edition) (I) What is a Chronic Miasm? Because of its "Victorian" sound and the image of vapor rising from a swamp, one is tempted to abandon the term. But to honor Hahnemann and to assert the strength of traditional homeopathic therapy (through such people as C.Hering, H.S.Allen, J.H.Allen, J.C.Clarke and J.T.Kent) one accepts that miasmatics (constitutional therapy) is a basic and rewarding study. There are 3 miasms and many diverse combinations; one of which is so well known and widespread, that it has its own classification. First and most widespread is the Psoric. Like some of the sub atomic particles it is detectable only by its effects. Many of the particles of physics cannot be photographed or portrayed in more than tentative form; yet no one doubts their existence. The Psoric miasm then is detectable mainly by its effects. The most typical is the itch. Here one must distinguish between the irritation caused by external irritants such as hair shirts, fleas, and air borne irritants and the true Psoric itch that travels along the nerves from the interior to the skin and makes that skin's owner scratch himself. Briefly or for more prolonged periods. Whilst the itch is the typical Psoric display, its field is the disturbance of function rather than the creation of specific lesions. One can live to a ripe old age, so long as the only miasm the body has to cope with is the Psoric. The pulled muscle, the sprained ankle, the rupture are all Psoric, and show a disturbance of the elasticity of striped muscles; and other fibers in the body, (i.e. a disturbance of function). As the skin contact of a handshake will infect anyone whose body is not strong enough to throw off the Psoric miasm (and some authorities say that to even be in the same room will do it), one can treat all, as being to some degree Psoric. The Psoric often talk at great length but to little point, again a perversion of function, as effective talk is to communicate the maximum of information with the minimum of words. Next one must distinguish between primary (or inherited ) miasms. Psora can be inherited; but at first touch of the midwife or gynecologist can communicate it to the newborn. With the remaining classifications the hereditary can be the primary.

The second miasm is Syphilis in its tertiary (hereditary) manifestations. Typical of these is the ulcer but again one must discriminate. The syphilitic ulcer is round, "punched out"; the edges will be possibly raised and may be purple. If spreading and in a ragged irregular shape, then another miasm will be present. In healing it leaves a thin, taut brown colored tissue over the original lesion. Disturbance of shape is a further typical manifestation. In the eye, Myopia (short sight) and astigmatism; are both due to the eyeball, or the cornea not being spherical. Very tall or very short people the very obese or excessively thin; all these disturbances of shape have an element of this miasm in their make-up. The primary source i.e. when the miasm crept into the genetic chain that led to the case confronting you; may go back many generations, possibly 2 or 300 years The third order of miasm is more complex and includes numerous phenomena. In its main stream are the many orders of Gonococcus, with Catarrh and Gonorrhea the principal manifestations. All discharges from mucal surfaces relate to the miasm and relieve its worst effects. However all animal and vegetal poisons capable of affecting genetic material are included. In this class are the many, supposedly harmless "killed " strains of Vaccines that are in the serum, plus diseases such as malaria. Vaccinosis has long been condemned by the most eminent homeopaths; such as Burnett, Allen, Clarke and Kent; as giving rise to many neuralgic pains and skin disorders, skin in this sense including internal skin, i.e. mucal surfaces. Nosodes of the relevant epidemic will normally protect the body for up to one month. Gout, not in its music hall context but as homeopathically defined by J.H.Allen is an acidic condition of the blood which deposits many varieties of uric crystals and substances to line joints, arteries, veins. As well as the nephrons of the kidney, and can lay a deposit on the tympani of the eardrum causing deafness. Which is why the correct homeopathic remedy can in the right hands cure varicose veins, kidney dysfunction, heart disease and deafness, all in one person. There are warts that have some element of Syphilis, but the wart is a sycotic manifestation. As are the small spider web of purple capillaries on each cheek- bone under the eye and the blood red polka dot pin- head on the skin; mostly of the trunk and abdomen. What is a "Mixed" Miasm? At some point in time there must have existed an individual who was highly Psoric and who was infected with Syphilis. That person would not suffer the worst ill effects of his miasmatic trouble. But provided that he/she was still potent and of child bearing age could provide a child that would contain, at birth, the genetically wedded (or welded) dual miasm of Psora and Syphilis. This is how "Mixed" miasms arise and the example given is the most dreaded and largely incurable known as Pseudo Psora or tuberculosis. Tubercular ulceration leaves an irregular and extensive scar, while the scars of lupus are superficial. Syphilitic scars usually show the peculiar brownish or copper colored pigmentation for a long time, and sometimes it is permanently present, presenting beanshaped horse-shoe round or oval, depressed lesions with sharp, well-defined edges. What is Reactive (or Vital) Force? . In its most basic sense it is defined as the ability to function. Science can now provide

life support systems that will maintain all the necessary functions of a body. At a flick of a switch to "off" the body will "die". The missing item that will allow that body to be a normal member of society, and function independently; has gone.

That missing item is the reactive (or Vital) force. Among its manifestations is the projection of personality from the film star, statesman, to any form of charismatic persona. In our personal daily life we meet people we "instinctively" like or dislike. All these relate to the reactive (or Vital) force. Where spontaneous cures occur they are due to a positive application of this force. Miasmatics relate to this force in that it is the only barrier or container of deep miasmatic illness that prevents the physical body from being over- whelmed. It can contain one miasm for a hundred years It can contain two miasms for 50-70 years. Three miasms will defeat it sooner or later. To relieve itself of Pressure and to stave off defeat the body will normally control one to two miasms and let the third manifest itself in a manner that will do least damage to the person and their function. In a very real and serious sense the body will maintain itself at the optimum condition of its capability. In particular catarrhal discharges, from any orifice, and ulceration are acting to relive the miasmatic stress on the reactive force .It can thus be seen that any external application capable of suppressing the discharge (or ulcer, or eczema) will increase the stress the miasm is applying to the reactive force. Antibiotics taken internally and homeopathic remedies that do not cover the existing similia, plus the under lying miasms will add to, rather than decrease that stress. These courses of action will all possibly "cure" the local symptom but result in an overall lowering of the general health. The body (or reactive force) will in its effort to improve its condition; reestablish the "cured" symptom. If it is strong it will achieve this, if not it will retreat and stabilise itself at some less obvious point as dictated by the underlying and inherited miasms. This may be; in the case of the most active miasm being sycosis; warts, uterine or anal; inflammation of nerve sheaths, giving sciatic or rheumatic pain; where the miasm is Syphilitic ulcers and abscesses of stomach, cervix, liver or disease of the central nervous system could also be expected. Where psora is the most active we get eczema. Eczema is always of constitutional origin, and the patient as well as the physician should be well pleased to know that the life force had divorced it from within and thrown it as an eczematous eruption out on the skin. We have the worst forms to deal with in the tubercular or syphilitic child, especially during the teething period. No man can tell how many lives are saved when the disease comes to the surface , preserving the vital organ especially the brain, from the ravages of this destructive miasm. Therefore always ointments and medicaments of every name. and description should be discarded depending always, upon the anti-miasmatic treatment or the removal of the miasm which alone is the higher pre-disposing cause; using by preference the higher potencies. What effect do potencies have on Miasmatics?. Potencies sold to the public for selfadministration are normally 6x or 6c. These are relatively harmless in that they will not affect underlying miasms, and they can alleviate superficial discomforts. At Ix and 2x some substances could still be considered dangerous (Burnett warned against using the more powerful nosodes (like Tuberculin) at less than 30c) but used with skill these potencies could have curative effects. Where one wishes to aid the body and not disturb

any of the 'miasms the 30th potency is very effective as a gentle prompting over a period of weeks, or months. While M.Tyler a report a German source as considering the 200th a wicked potency, Prof.J.H.Allen states that 1m is relatively low and is where the "high" potencies begin. So it seems that there is a borderline of 200c-Im. where one starts to touch the miasms. At this point one can distinguish between two schools of homeopathy (with the Possibility of a foot in both camps). First there is the "low" potency school, directly related to the (3reek origins where minute doses of poison were used to cure. There is also a large body of French homeopathic opinion using potencies up to 12c; in all of which it is possible to have some part (however small) of the original substance. This is done in a pathological setting and it is possible that patients do not know if they are treated allopathically or homeopathically. The "High Potency" or Miasmatic school will regard all symptoms along with the generalities -and mental attitudes as a jig saw to be pieced together to reveal the active and latent miasms present in any case. The active miasm will relate to most of the complaints of the client. It is the Miasm the reactive force has judged to be least harmful and free to relieve itself on the surfaces of the body.

Bearing in mind that the reactive force will be containing the psoric miasm or the Pseudo Psoric (TB). That with these on its hands it is easier to let the sycotic loose, one can see why most of the displayed-symptoms relate to the sycotic miasm, warts, veruccas, catarrhs, nerve pains, acnes, and "gouty" complaints such as varicositys. Correct treatment of the active miasm will reduce its power to a point where it may vanish forever. But more likely the reactive force will see that for less effort it can control the now reduced active miasm, and let loose one of the latent miasms. This would accord with the principle of conservation of energy. Thus in curing, correctly, a catarrhal or gonorrheal discharge one might secure an improvement in general health accompanied by an attack of dandruff or eczema between the fingers and toes. Which shows that the latent Psoric miasm was now the upper most and therefor the most active. Prof. J.H.Allen quotes Hahnemann as saying "... if allopathic treatment has so disturbed Psora or Syphilis that were Iatent, and they now become manifest and active. The order of treatment is reversed and we first annihilate the Psoric miasm, by the indicated anti Psoric remedy and then use the remedy indicated for the sycosis", this by the master 150 years ago. How many now follow the paths he laid out. In contrast the use of antibiotics to suppress the discharge will cut off the external symptoms but drive the miasm deeper into the body where it will unite with the latent miasm. There will be a pause of 18-24 months and if the latent miasm is Tubercular - the worst possible effects may be expected. As Prof. J.H.Allen points out; All abnormal growths are inhibitory points of miasms in their tertiary-state". The amount and quality of the reactive force determines if the growth is benign or malignant. Surgical intervention at this point is further suppression and will lead to regrowth or incurable nervous or mental conditions. Over 50 years ago, Prof. J.H.Allen was writing "... For sycosis plays as great a part as psora, and this is why the malignant diseases are increasing. (A medical writer of England says..."Cancer at the rate it is increasing will destroy all life on this island in 200 years") Malignancies increase and diseases multiply and are magnified by miasmatic blending and suppressive treatment.... When we are not well

versed in nature and movements of the chronic miasm we are unable to distinguish drug proving from miasmatic processes, or from the curative action of a well selected remedy and thus may have aggravation from supposedly well chosen remedies. Hahnemann's striking, singular, extraordinary and peculiar symptoms are, basic miasmatic ones; always", In this context it is obviously important to recognise the main outlines of each: miasm and to be ready to use the correct remedy when the reactive force changes the uppermost, or active, miasm. To continue with the originally chosen and effective remedy is pointless and counter productive. To quote J.H.Allen "... One who cannot detect the presence of Sycosis in a patient without a history of Gonorrhea has little knowledge of miasmatics. The bond between two miasms can only be broken by a prescription that meets the totality of the more active one". J.T.Kent "... In selecting a remedy, we are to arrange the symptoms according to their value, giving preference to those last appearing, for they are the symptoms of the active miasm, the remainder belong to the latent grouping". As Dr. D.M.Foubister points out in his publication (1967) "The Carsinosin Drug Picture", that nosodes carry in their potentised state the nature of the proceeding disturbed vitality. Pointing to blue sclerotic and a slight swarthiness of complexion in young children. A pointer to the hereditary predisposition, also an inherited illness. He quotes a close relationship between Carsinosin and Medorrhinum (also Tuberculin and Lueticum), also mentioning that Kent felt that cancer could result from suppressed psora. Dr.D. Ross is quoted as considering carcinosin a sycotic remedy and 2 other doctors found that it could be used for bad after affect of vaccination All these well researched items indicate that the heavy suppression of any of the miasms can lead to cancer. What use is Miasmatics in diagnosis and cure? Pathology is like a curled up hedgehog. It points, in all directions. Miasmatics narrows the search area (for curative remedies). To quote Prof. J.H.Allen When we treat pathological formations we get no permanent results from our potentised remedies unless we base our prescription on the pure miasmatic symptoms in the case.

If the miasm were Psoric we have Psoric manifestations. If it were Sycotic we have sycotic pathology: If syphilitic we have Polymorph presentations. If Syphilis and Psora were combined we get the multiplied changes and destructive processes known as tubercular. Add the Sycotic and there then develops the malignant types of Tubercular disease". Also ".. It is the sick person that is to be treated not the pathological name". Historically speaking, the miasm was first postulated by Hahnemann in Chronic Diseases Vol.1 pl8/19. Where he refers back to 181 6/ 17 and says " . . . Chronic disease repeatedly and successfully removed by homeopathy, reappeared in modified form with a yearly increase of disagreeable symptoms.... This ostensible disease was a mere fragment of a much deeper seated, primitive evil... This primitive disease owed its existence to some chronic miasm". While it is not possible to go into great detail in a short general work of this type, some pointers (drawn from the works in the recommended further reading list at the back of this pamphlet) should be emphasized. Age considerations and the state of the reactive force must be carefully looked at. A vigorous 50-year-old may be a better prospect for cure than a weakly 40-year-old may. Also the seriousness of the complaint must be weighed. In this area it is often better to

relieve symptoms and make life easier than to rouse latent miasms that might make more trouble in an attempt to gain a permanent cure. Caution and patience must be exercised. Prof.J.T.Kent refers to "That hidden spring" that may be operated by successively higher potencies. In this connection Hahnemmans "Single divided dose" can be useful, i.e., -' 3 doses at 24 hour intervals which can be all 30; or may be 30-200-1m. This ensures that initial aggravation is kept to a minimum and the individual is willing to continue the course of treatment. A necessary source of information is Clarke's "Clinical Repertory , as this gives length of effectiveness of any remedy (which allows one to modify the effect of any remedy ). Also giving dynamic antidotes to the effect of any remedy to which the patient may be oversensitive, and each other . Which is the case with Mercury, which needs an intermediate if it precedes Silica. Usually in homeopathy one gets cases that have "tried everything else". This means that almost certainly suppression will have taken place. This is usually by chemical means such as antibiotics. In this sort of case few clear symptoms, pointing to a single remedy are available. One of the contributory factors to the problem is the demand by the public that unpleasant discharges of whatever nature are immediately suppressed. Antibiotics do this, but as Prof. J.T.Kent points out on p909 of his lectures "... The great mischief done by allopaths is due to the fact that they want to cover up everything that is in the economy. They act as if ashamed of everything in the human race: whereas homeopathy endeavors to reveal everything in the human race and to antidote those drugs that cover up, and to free those diseases that are held down. It is true that many patients will not have homeopathy because they do not want the evidences of their indiscretion brought to light, but homeopathy endeavors to do that. Conditions that are in the economy will come out under proper homeopathic treatment. Sulfur brings complaints to the surface so that they can be seen. It is a general broad antidote. It is a medicine often called for in the suppression of eruptions from cold and from drugs". One must then wait, possibly as much as a month while the case clarifies itself and the outlines of a miasm become clear. It is then possible to base the second remedy on that miasmatic basis In an ideal case many complex groupings of symptoms may come up until, after the application of appropriate homeopathic remedies a history of illness disappears in the reverse order of its original appearance.

So that the brief reappearance of some past malady is a sign of progress in the right direction. This is all in accord with Herings law of cure: 1) Symptoms move from center to circumference of body. 2) Symptoms travel from above downwards 3) Symptoms travel from note vital to less vital organs. 4) Symptoms disappear in the reverse order of their onset, those that appeared first being the last to disappear These observers have also noted the reappearance of conditions, which the person experienced in past life, but which have lain dormant either because of the body's defenses being unable to deal with them. Or through inappropriate suppressive treatment having been administered, even extending to the ill effects of accidents, which occurred years ago.

1. Do acute diseases relate to miasmatics? 2. To quote Prof.Allen; "... Acute diseases are short and normally self-limiting. Their symptomology is usually clear and the remedy obvious". Often however the acute (which often has a sycotic basis) complaint, such as "flu" will vanish readily but leave behind a sense of debility and weakness that may endure and hang fire for months. This chronic sequel to an epidemic of "flu" is due to one of the latent miasms being stimulated and the reactive force being unable to get it entirely under control. Here a miasmatic remedy is the only one that will work for more than a very short period 3. Thus while an anti sycotic may relieve the acute condition, as soon as it subsides an anti psoric may be required. To quote Prof.J.H.Allen "... Is not the totality of symptoms all there is to disease? ... If you do not know what is behind that totality you are prescribing for a jack in the box. You cannot follow the evolution of the curative process. You cannot even prescribe the proper diet for the patient unless you know the basic miasm. A Psoric patient requires a different diet from a Tubercular patient, and the same may be said of those affected with Syphilis and Sycosis. 4. A uric acid diathesis never lies behind a Tubercular Syphilitic or Psoric Constitution". Both he and Hahnemann are unanimous that case history should be set out to confirm at what point inherited miasms show themselves (in pre puberty they usually only show up where shock acute infection, stress or injury unbalance the equilibrium.) Normally at puberty the body, due to so many glandular changes; is so busy maintaining equilibrium that signs of the strongest latent miasm show up. From eczema and dandruff displaying the relatively simple Psoric to the most stubborn and disfiguring acne involving the mixture of the tubercular with sycosis. Later history will usually contain some suppression of sycotic phenomena and its fairly simple to relate the use of antibiotics and the condition they cured, to an acquired miasm. Now suppressed and probably the cause of the current complaint. The complaint will usually show itself about 18-24 month after the suppression. 5. Vaccination is another sycotic origin that should be listed as a causative suspect. It should be remembered that sexual communication is not the only cause of sycosis. The vulgaris and filiformic forms of verruca stand out pathologically as a positive sign of either hereditary or to acquired sycosis, due to, gonorrheal infection.

They cannot exist without sycosis. In the hereditary sycotic Child they make their appearance usually about the completion of the eruption of the temporary teeth. Where warts are suppressed either by excising or by cautery. some internal condition of a gouty or other nature is certain to develop. Such diseases as gout, neuralgia, rheumatism, interstitial changes of the kidneys or fibrous changes in any organ stomach troubles, especially diseases of the pylorus, in fact any condition may be set up after the suppression of any manifestation of sycosis. What mental qualities distinguish the miasms from each other? The Psoric is never (except when depressed and fearful) at loss for words. Bright talkative and restless. Lets everyone know when he is in the dumps. Acquisitive, seeking more wealth and numerous romances. The Syphilitic is dull and obstinate with fixed ideas. Depressed and sulky; conditions get worse at night when suicidal impulses may be strongest.

The Sycotic is cunning cruel and selfish, and very bad at spelling and has difficulty in stringing words together in more complex sentences. In the Tubercular when the Psoric is predominant we have the globe trotting jet setter, a cosmopolitan Wheeler-dealer with prominent eyeballs. For more specific details refer to P.Speight's "A Comparison Of The Chronic Miasms" a comprehensive work covering all the departments of mind and body. Other reading to be recommended: - Kent's "Lectures" with special references to the section on "Natrum Sulfur and Sycosis" (pI074), J.H.Allens's "Chronic Miasms" (but here one must discount his attitudes to sin and just in order to dig out the priceless information on the miasms and their workings.) Any homeopath with an enquiring mind will be driven by numerous references to syphilis and g6norrhea, scattered throughout the literatures; to investigate a textbook on venereology. Anyone who does this will be struck by the closeness between the symptoms shown and the listings for some homeopathic remedies. Genital Herpes referring to Rhus.Tox and Petrol as an instance. This would be a good point to repeat that individual suffering from the effects of miasms have not necessarily contacted the primary disease. To take an extreme case a virginal nun age 40 could, due to the menopause, show the symptoms (tertiary) of all the miasms yet never have had any sexual experiences of any kind. The miasms having been handed down by some remote ancestor. How are remedies classified miasmatically? Just as the individual containing only one miasm is rare, so the remedy that affects only one miasm is rare. At the other end of the scale, sulfur and silica are listed as having considerable effect on all miasms. The-theory of miasmatics is not an easy option. '. Rather it is a difficult option demanding greater understanding on the part of the prescriber. The individual still has to be matched to the remedy but a true appreciation of the miasm that is active in any case allows one to rapidly discard large sections of the repertory. Also to disregard parts of the total symptom picture as relating to the latent rather than the active miasm, thus eliminating many apparent contradictions. Whilst at the same time, being aware of the latent miasm one can predict the next likely set of phenomena and be ready to apply the appropriate remedy.

J.C.Burnett in the late 1800's was the first to draw attention to the development of the embryo and to recommend the study of embryology. This hint has curiously been ignored by all until O.Vithoulkas enlarged upon it in his work "The Science of Homeopathy". The basic point is that parts; often far apart in the finally developed human body . Developed from a closely packed minute batch of cells in the very early development of the ova. For some reason the miasm will easily migrate from one part of the body to another, so long as each of the parts came from closely associated cells of the original ova. What excuses can be used for the failure of homeopathic treatment? There is a massive body of "reasons for failure". Interestingly these all blame the client who 1) drank too much coffee (or tea)

2) Took the remedy at the wrong time of the day. 3) Ate cough sweets. 4) Stored the remedy in a cabinet near a camphorated product. 5) Exposed the remedy directly to sunlight. 6) Drank too much alcohol. 7) Allowed someone else to touch the remedy etc. 8) The list is endless. In rare cases the reason is genuine. I know someone who, for years, has at the slightest sign of a cold eaten a camphorated ointment, he is saturated with camphor and homeopathic remedies do not work on him. A lifetimes consumption of garlic might have a similar effect. Putting such exceptions to one side the rest are excuses. Having had several clients who through misunderstanding or simple forgetfulness have washed homeopathic remedies down with a swig of tea or coffee. It is impossible to say if the effect was blunted but it still worked. 9) One has only to study Callavardin who used to give unhappy wives, remedies 200c to 10m to cure drunken or sexually overactive husbands. These were given mixed into wine, soup, water and other various beverages. So as Kent points out in his "Lectures" Homeopathy never fails only the person administering it. A firm grip of miasmatics may reduce the number of failures that affect any practice of homeopathy.

Probably because anti psoric so many authors list remedies Kent does not devote a section to psora but these are headed by SULPHUR, LYC, GRAPH, and NAT MUR and include such remedies as K.CAR, IPEC, and PODOPH. Further details can be obtained from H.S.Allen's Keynotes and Comparisons and Kent's Lectures. SUPPRESSIONS. SYPHILIS flies to the meninges of the brain and the brain itself to the larynx, throat, eyes, bones, and periosteum. PSORA suppressed affect nerve centers, often producing nervous symptoms and mental phenomena of a serious character all ameliorated by eruptions on the skin. SYCOSIS attacks the internal organs, especially the pelvic and sexual organs in the worst forms of inflammation producing hypertrophies, abscesses, cystic degeneration,

mucous cysts, etc., and when it affects the brain it produces headaches, acute mania, insanity degeneracy, dishonesty etc. There is no substitute for study of the Materia Medica. Once again to quote J.H.Allen "... You have your Materia Medica, which is a reflected image of the disease to be cured. You can see Psora in Sulfur and Lycopodium, in Arsenic and Psorinum. Syphilis in the Mercuries. in the lodides and in Nitric acid Sycosis in RHUS Tox , THUJA, KALI- SULPH, CAPISCUM, MEDORINUM and others. A useful work to be considered when looking at the anticipation of a miasm's next move is Vithoulka's book "The Science of Homeopathy". The only book since J.C.Burnett in the late 1800's to draw attention to the ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm and their relationship to the likely paths to be used by miasms. I.e. those parts being formed in the embryo. from the same cells will allow an easy passage for the miasm from one part of the body to another apparently unrelated part. As Prof.J.T.Kent says on P879 of "Lectures" "... Many times the infant is unable to take any milk and the ' physician is driven to prescribe all the foods (and vitamins) in the market if he does not know the right remedy". Additional reading: - The assumption that homeopathy is like allopathy, in that any thing written 50 or 100 years ago is now "out of date", is absolutely wrong. The laws and principles of homeopathy are valid and unaffected by the passage of time. Miasms may change the form they display in individual cases but their basic nature is unchanging, and the homeopathic treatment is as valid today as it was in 1817 and 1917 (and will be in 2017). Bearing this in mind reading of the Early Days Of Homeopathy is both rewarding and exciting. Social mores must of course be discounted, but the homeopathy is unchanged.

THE CARCINOSIN DRUG PICTURE". D.M FOUBISTER . APPENDIX, Miasmatics and AIDS We are led by the great men of our tradition to expect that suppression will strip away the body's defenses one by one until death may occur in whatever way the constitution has as it's weakest point. Thus accounting for the many forms of death by AIDS. As homosexuals are most at risk one then asks how could they be subject to constant and repeated suppression. An answer could be their promiscuity. R.B.Fisher in his book "A.I.D.S." quotes one case of over 1,000 different partners in one year. Because promiscuity leads to repeated infection such as herpes and gonorrhea which are apparently easily "cured" (i.e. suppressed) by antibiotics, the body eventually becomes unable to create fresh antibodies to deal with new infections. The suppression has plumbed the ultimate depths.

Apparently the body is still able to combat all the infections which it had previously experienced up to a "cut off" point. After that any new virus is not detected or reacted to by the creation of a new antibody this is obviously a death sentence. R.B.Fisher points out in his book "A.I.D.S." (P35) that a possible cause is "... malfunction under the stress of repeated infection" and (on page 42/3), the (CMV) symptoms include eye infections, cold sores and urinary tract pain". All things for which antibiotics would be given. It is possible to speculate that one of the herpes family; CMV, Simplex, EBV, Zoster, etc. can act like the last straw in a weak constitution and that the treatment of herpes in that situation by antibiotics can tip the balance into AIDS. Does anyone know of an AIDS case that is pure and untouched by any form of antibiotics? It would also be interesting to trace the number of times in the last 4 years that any AIDS. case had received antibiotic treatment, and to see if there was a significant statistical relationship between AIDS. and the frequency of administration of antibiotics. One of the contributory factors to the problem is the demand by the public that unpleasant discharges of whatever nature, are immediately suppressed, Antibiotics do this. That a Victorian attitude is still prevalent is shown up in part of a third world report in the Observer 17.3.85 "... in east and central Africa many now identify antibiotics by the color of the capsules. Thus the "red and black" are seen as sure remedies for the "shame disease" gonorrhea; this is because ampicillin, one recognised treatment for gonorrhea, often comes in red and black capsules". At the turn of the century J.C.Burnett said arthritis due to suppressed gonorrhea was worth a I, 000 per year to his practice. Prof.J.Kent on page 1081 of his lecture points out that gonorrhea is a constitutional disease and can be handed down from father to son, as can syphilis. It is one of the chronic miasms. It is as dangerous to suppress a gonorrheal discharge before its time, as it is to suppress a syphilitic chancre before its time". If this is true then the current wave of arthritis will not reach its peak for some time. Homeopathy can, in my own experience relieve and cure the pain while orthodox treatment is responsible for at least 130 deaths (Opren 96;Zomax5; Osmosin 15; Flosint

7; Flenac 7; and 1652 cases of sever side effects including liver and kidney damage, internal bleeding and perforation plus allergy reactions.) A little thought will indicate another area of medicine where the phenomenon of immunology has received a great deal of attention; this is in the are of heart transplants and organ transplants in general. One would expect some degree of correspondence between the post transplant experience, illness-recovery-worse illness- and the experience of AIDS. With its illness recovery-worse-illness cycle leading to fatality. Obviously because the AIDS, case is due to the specific suppression of a miasmic outcropping its course will be more serious and its conclusion more rapid. In the organ transplant case the suppression is not so deep and is not applied directly to a miasm. The body gets an outside chance to fight off the worst effects and the shorter and shallower the course of the suppression the greater the chance of survival.

The mechanism is the same. In both of the above cases the immune system is suppressed to the point where it is unable to react to fresh infection. Where it is necessary to produce a new antibody it fails. Where the existing "memory bank" can be drawn on to combat infection then that disease can be dealt with. A brief review of the transplant field shows that as long ago as 1981 the use of cyclosporin produced cancer of the lymph glands (lymphoma) in a number of passes; one case showing cancer at 3 separate sites of the lymph system. Another study showed that the body could no longer deal with EBV, another virus implicated in AIDS , phenomena. Where azothiaprine is used, "an increased number of malignant tumors especially lympho-reticular and epithelial, has been observed in transplant recipients", as well as various anemias, acute restrictive lung disease and unexplained meningitis reactions (brain disorders). In both drugs liver diseases relating to hepatitis BI virus (another AIDS. implicated virus) and kidney dysfunction have been observed. R.Moskowitz in an article in the J.A.I.H. points out that vaccination can give rise to latent viruses, incorporated inside the body's cells and not subject to attack by antibodies. In time this "accommodation" will break down, under stress or shock and give rise to "autonomous multiplication of cells" i.e. tumors and cancer. It may also account for the phenomena of the body attacking itself . He quotes Prof. R.Simpson, sponsored by the American Cancer Society who pointed out that immunization could form latent proviruses in cells throughout the body, which could result in a variety of diseases including rheumatism, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus, erythematosus, Parkinsons disease and perhaps cancer. Vaccination and its later symptoms normally affect the sycotic miasm but its final form will depend on which miasm has the strongest grip on the individual.
