REAL CURE. GENTLE CURE.
Because of the Theory of Miasms, Homeopathy stands much above other systems of medicine. it is unrivalled in treating chronic cases. By chronic we do not mean diseases which last for a long time. Chronic disease in Homeopathy has nothing to do with time. It has everything to do with miasms. Wherever miasms are present, the case is a chronic one and will not be cured even with the best similinum (matching disease picture with drug picture). Then is Homeopathy is useless, you may say. No way!
Best indicated remedies will not cure in chronic cases unless while prescribing the miasmatic dimension of the case is included. Hahnemann had faced the same problem centuries ago. He found that despite giving the best indicated remedy, the disease did not go away. After the first dose, there was some improvement. But soon there was a relapse. The second and third dose did nothing.
"Is the law of similars useless," Hahnemann had asked himself for a fleeting moment. But so sure was he that Homeopathy could never be wrong that he continued his hard work.
After much trials and tribulations he slowly gave shape to the theory of miasms. Today many Homeopaths still say it is all rubbish (luminaries like Dr. P. Sankaran tops the list). But experience has told me the theory of miasms is the greatest gift to humanity.
Hahnemann said there were only three miasms- psora, sycosis and syphilis. J.H.Allen added one more; tubercular miasm. Rajan Sankaran added six more. But it is widely accepted that these additional miasms are just combinations of the basic three miasms. They are not new.
I will not explain to you what these miasms are. Better and superior minds have given a clear account of them in their books. My advice to you is, read them. Though in the next article I will give you a table of miasms according to Rajan Sankaran. It has been prepared by Roger Morrison.
Essential Reading on Miasms:-
1. Miasmatic Diagnosis by Dr. Subrata Kumar BANERJEA (This can be taken as gospel as far as miasms are concerned. The book also has a table of remedies with corresponding miasms they act on. Invaluable. Read this before you go to Sankaran's interpretation of miasms. You will not get confused. Banerjea gives the pathology of miasms, Sankaran gives the mental states of miasms. Both are indispensable).
2. Predictive Homeopathy part 3. The End of Myasmtion of Miasms-Mathematics of Human Defense against Diseases by Prafull VIJAYAKAR. (He puts it all very succinctly. He derides Sankaran, but remember that Vijaykar is a brilliant Homeopath).
3. The Substance of Homeopathy by Rajan SANKARAN
(Page numbers: 20-24, 29, 30, 31-32, 37-45, 51-57, 72-73, 74-78 )
4. Notes on the Miasms by Proceso Sanchez ORTEGA (He says the color of psora is blue, of sycosis yellow and of syphilis red)
5. Chronic Disease- Its Cause and Cure by N. Ghatak (translated by P.N. BANERJEE)
6. Indications of Miasm by Harimohon CHOUDHURY
7. The new book by Henny Heudens-Mast is being highly praised. I haven't got to read it. Give it a try if you get a chance.
