Miasma Syphillis/Syphillinie
Syphilis Miasm: A situation beyond salvage,
leading to complete hopelessness and despair. In a desperate effort, he tries
to change the situation and the result is usually destruction. homicide;
suicide; syphilis; ulcers; impossible; despair; psychosis; devastation

Syphilinum – Teeth decay at
edge of gum and break off. Craving alcohol, in any form. Hereditary tendency to
alcoholism (Asar., Psor.,
Tuber., Sulph., Sulph. ac).

[Judyth
Reichenberg-Ullman]
This is the final miasm in the progression, and the most desperate. Prior to
antibiotics, syphilis carried a death sentence, resulting in physical or mental
destruction.
Pathologies involve
destruction of the bones, heart, and nervous system, leading ultimately to
death. Violent thoughts, suicidal ideation, and destructiveness, such as
through addictions,
are common, including alcoholism.
The syphilitic miasm is about end-stage destruction, decay, despair,
devastation, violence, murder, and death. The mere image of victims’ noses
falling off, a deformity resulting from the destruction of the bony framework,
makes one shudder. Think of anarchy, suicide bombers, nuclear war.
Having babies in
bomb shelters or missiles being fired on a maternity hospital. The
moment-to-moment life-threatening work conditions of journalists in war zones
internationally, such as the Palestinian, Shireen Abu
Akleh, as she shouted for aid to save the life of a
colleague. The utter, senseless destruction of humans, animals, habitats for
the sake of resources, power grabs, pure selfishness. The breakdown and wanton
desecration of bodies, families, homes, hospitals.
War is nothing new
in our lifetimes. As much as we might hope that the genocide and mass
destruction of WW2 might have taught us “never again,” that is far from what
has happened.
Ukraine- The world
is now riveted on the current battle for Ukraine which is only too real and
immediate thanks to the social media and the intimate, up-to-the-moment world
wide web. Vladimir Putin, for one, seems to be the epitome of the syphilitic miasm: poisoning or imprisoning enemies, sending
19-year-old Russian soldiers to die in a foreign land for no apparent reason
except for power.
I recently learned
a bit about the chilling history of Putin’s family. During the Siege of
Leningrad, Putin’s brother died of diphtheria and his parents only later
learned where he, along with half a million other victims of the siege were
buried.
Putin himself
shared the story of his mother’s remarkable salvation. Returning from the
hospital, Putin’s father saw corpses being carried out on stretchers to be
buried in
a mass grave. He
recognized his wife, Putin’s mother, injured but alive, on her way to being
buried in a mass grave.
Striking out with
his crutches, he made them carry her back to their apartment. There he nursed
her back to health, only to give birth, sometime later, to their son, Vladimir.
Previous to that time, five of his six brothers had perished in battle, as well
as some of his mother’s relatives. This is the ongoing generational terrain of
the syphilitic miasm.
The Destruction of
Sea and Land Habitat Worldwide– The Amazon rain forest is a prime example of
this unconscionable selfish land rape. We had the good fortune to visit the
indigenous Huaorani tribe of Ecuador some years ago.
They were the victims of extraction and logging by Royal Dutch Shell, then
Texaco.
The deforestation,
illegal hunting, and collection of animals and their parts for food, Chinese
medicine, and pet trade, have pushed many species to the brink of extinction.
This is the same message of the recent films Seaspiracy
and Becoming Cousteau.
Deaths Due to Covid Worldwide– The number of reported deaths worldwide
are 522 million, of which over 6 million have been reported in the US, 43
million in India, and 31 million in Brazil. I have no desire to engage in a
discussion of accuracy of reporting, but rather to point out the enormous
destruction/loss of life during this time, not to mention of livelihood.
Decay and Despair
on Individuals, Families, Social Systems During the Pandemic– Regardless of
personal beliefs about CV diagnosis, mass vaccinations, lockdowns, the effect
on the social fabric worldwide has been devastating, individually, culturally, societally.

Syphil.
[Frans Vermeulen]
Syphilis was known as the "great
imitator" because its multiple manifestations mimicked other known diseases.
Lyme borreliosis, likewise,
has now entered the stage as
"the new great imitator." P.H. Duray concedes: "Initially thought to be a disorder
beginning in the skin and progressing to involve the joints, Lyme disease is
now ranked
as one of the great mimickers of other
diseases, in a manner similar to that once ascribed to syphilis." Sir
William Osler remarked that "to know syphilis is to know all of
medicine."

Syphilis = destructive and self-destructive processes (e.g. alcoholism; phagedenic ulcers, etc);

Einschätzung der Situation und der nötigen Reaktion
Der Mensch hat das Gefühl, er stehe vor einer Situation,
die nicht mehr zu retten ist. Das führt zu völliger Hoffnungslosigkeit und
Verzweiflung. Er unternimmt einen verzweifelten Versuch, die Situation zu
verändern, was meist in Zerstörung endet. In einer syphilitischen Situation muß etwas endgültig zuende
gebracht werden.
Die Situation ist weit jenseits der eigenen Möglichkeiten
und Fähigkeiten. Man ist fühlt sich in höchster Weise und alleinig
verantwortlich. – das unverzeihliche Verbrechen.
Es entstehen stärkste Schuldgefühle.
Häufiges Thema: "Menschen wollen mich töten, also
töte ich sie."
Andererseits wollen sich Syphilitiker auch selbst
umbringen – manchmal durch Rauchen oder Alkoholismus.
Gegenüber anderen Menschen besteht ein Gefühl von völliger
Isolation. Man steht völlig allein im Leben. Totale Verzweiflung um die
Genesung. Es ist ein Gefühl als ob man verrückt wird.

Es herrscht das Gefühl intensiver Unterdrückung (oppression) und Ausbeutung und der Wunsch nach Veränderung
vor. Die Reaktion darauf ist intensive, hektische Aktivität, um aus der
Unterdrückung auszubrechen.
Gefühl von gepackt und zusammengedrückt. Die Situation

Intensive hektische Aktivität, um aus der

bleiben.
Version des Versagens
Wo findet man die Lepra- Haltung physiologischerweise?
Typische Situation wäre die eines gelähmten, inkontinenten Menschen. Das typische Alter wäre zwischen 70
und 80 Jahren. Man ist nicht mehr in der Lage, sich nützlich zu machen und
leidet an Alterskrankheiten. Es ist schwierig, mit den jüngeren Menschen und
ihren Werten in Beziehung zu treten, und der Kreis an Bekanntschaften ist
entsprechend eingeengt. Man ist nicht mehr erwünscht bei seiner Familie und in
der Gesellschaft.
Man wird in ein Altersheim gesteckt. Man fühlt sich
ausgestoßen. Es gibt keine Hoffnung, es bleibt nur der Tod.
Perversionen wie Sadismus und Masochismus könnte man mit Lepra-Miasma in Verbindung bringen. Der Mensch gewinnt
seinen Genuß daraus, daß er
einer anderen Person Grausamkeit und Schmerz zufügt oder man hat das Gefühl, daß andere grausam zu einem sind und einem Schmerzen
zufügen.
Eine sadistische Handlung ist auch gesellschaftlich
geächtet und wirkt damit auch isolierend.

sykotisch: die Gruppe besteht zunehmend
aus Auserwählten. Der eigene Schwachpunkt muss verdeckt werden. Der Mensch
fühlt sich nur in Gesellschaft von Wenigen wohl.
syphilitisch: Hier herrscht das Gefühl der völligen
Isolation vor. z.B. Lepra-Miasma (steht Syphilis sehr
nahe) ist das Gefühl, von den eigenen Leuten aufgegeben und verlassen worden zu
sein.
Somit hat man niemanden mehr auf der Welt.
Groß und klein – Ego und die Angst vor dem Fallen
Gefühle von Größe bzw. Egoismus und Kleinheit bzw.
Wertlosigkeit sind auch in der miasmatischen
Betrachtung zu unterscheiden.
z.B. Sulphur und Plat-met. haben beide das Gefühl, verachtet zu werden.
Die Sulphur-Person hat
Phantasien von ihrer Großartigkeit und das Gefühl, sie sei die Größte. Aber sie
(psorisch) hat auch ein charakteristisches Gefühl von
Zufriedenheit. Sie strengt sich an, den Respekt anderer Menschen zu gewinnen,
und wenn ihr einmal Anerkennung als gelehrter Mensch zugekommen ist, dann ist
sie glücklich. Das darunterliegende Gefühl von Verachtet sein geht nur so weit,
daß es durch wieder gewonnen Respekt durch Andere
ausgeglichen wird.
Im Fall der Platinum-Person
geht das Gefühl des Verachtet seins mit einer solch intensiven Demütigung
einher, daß sie die Rettung nur darin sieht, sehr
große Höhen zu erreichen. Sie muß über allen anderen
Menschen stehen, sie muß die Adlige sein, die
Königin. Sie kann sich nicht damit zufrieden geben, normal zu sein. Die daraus
folgende Angst vor Höhen, entweder bewusst ausgesprochen oder in Träumen
ausgedrückt, variiert entsprechend mit dem Miasma.
Im Falle von Sulphur mag es im
Traum um den Sturz von einem hohen Vorsprung gehen.
Im Fall von Platinum wird der
Traum von der Angst handeln, vom höchsten Gebäude der Welt herabzustürzen.

With the syphilis miasm
the person is unable to be themselves because they have begun to hate
themselves. With this they are understandably very sensitive to being disliked
by others around them. We find this feeling of being hated also in the
following symptoms;
Enemy, considers everyone (Merc.).
Suspicious talking about her, people are.
Delusion laughed at mocked, being (Bar-c.).
Fear, hanged to be (Platinum) (Dr Chawla).
These remedies are at least partially derived
from substances of row 6 of the periodic table of elements. The main feeling
common to the remedies derived from this row is also of being hated.
With Platinum it is the feeling of being
powerless (column 10) and hatred that is suppressed.
With the suffering corresponding to Mercury it
is the suppression of being treated immorally (column 12) together with the feeling
of being hated. The rubric of Mercurius “When taking
a walk he
felt a strong inclination to catch by the nose
strangers whom he met” (Materia Medica
Pura), means to treat someone immorally, which is an
expression of the non-integration of the feeling of oneself being treated
immorally.
The difference between the feeling of row 6 and
of the syphilis miasm is that in syphilis it is more
having come to hate oneself while with row 6 it is the feeling of being hated,
is healthy because it
is real or was originally real and is therefore
giving information to the person about how they are feeling. With the syphilis miasm the hate of oneself is an expression of
non-acceptance of self.
[Sankaran]
He is under the delusion that he is surrounded
by enemies. He is suspicious of everyone, thinks everyone is his enemy. This
intense suspiciousness gives him the impulse to kill, he wants to kill anyone
that contradicts him, even loved ones. Becomes antisocial, indifferent, thinks
there is no hope of recovery, in despair may even become suicidal. Also present
is compulsive handwashing. A patient in this stage
will have this feeling of I cannot manage. I cannot cope with all of these
problems both on the inside and outside. This kind of feeling results in a last
ditch attempt to change himself or his environment, this is a violent process,
while at the same time there is an internal feeling of despair and futility.
Some of the associated pathologies are ulcers, heart attack, psychoses and
paralysis. The keywords he uses for Syphilitic miasmatic
classification are: destruction; homicide; suicide; syphilis; ulcers;
impossible; despair; psychosis; devastation (Sankaran,
2002: 65).
[Herbert A.
Roberts]
In the mouth we
find the characteristic tell-tale of the syphilitic taint, even though the
child may appear well otherwise. Pathological and structural changes take place
in the dental arch and the teeth come through deformed, irregular in shape and
irregular in order of eruption. The teeth often decay before they are entirely
through the gums. They are always worse
at night; all the symptoms develop more after the sun goes down. There is
oppression, restlessness and anxiety at night; they dread the night because it
is so oppressive. Restlessness is so great that it drives them out of bed.
[Vithoulkas]
Wenn man auch die Unterdrückung der Syphilis durch die
Allopathie natürlich nicht bemängeln kann, so hat diese Unterdrückung dennoch
schlimme Folgen gehabt, indem sie die Menschheit
insgesamt negativ beeinflusst hat. Die Unterdrückung der
Syphilis mit Penicillin hat die Lebenskraft der Menschheit in ihrem inneren
Kern, auf der geistigen und emotionalen Ebene, unterminiert. Hier ist der Grund
zu suchen, warum das syphilitische Miasma die jüngeren Generationen so sehr
prägt und warum Aurum heute so häufig benötigt wird. Vithoulkas schätzt, dass 20% der homöopathisch behandelten
Menschen irgendwann eine Gabe Aurum brauchen.
[Dr. Ernst Trebin]
Syphilinie: dessen Verbreitung schätze ich

Poem:
Night thoughts
If I think of
Germany in the night,
my sleep won’t come
or just be light,
I can no longer
close my eyes,
and my hot tears,
they flow and, fill the skies…
Heinrich Heine:
Nachtgedanken
Denk ich an Deutschland in der
Nacht,
Dann bin ich um den Schlaf gebracht,
Ich kann nicht mehr die Augen
schließen,
Und meine heißen Tränen fließen.
Extreme right-wing
terrorism, politically motivated violence and hate-crimes are a growing threat
to Germany as in many other countries, with statistics showing an increase
in Germany during
the so-called “refugee crisis” in 2015/2016, when hundreds of thousands Syrians
fled to Germany to escape war.
Recently
(10/10/2019), a 27-year-old boy, intending to make a massacre with worldwide
impact, carried out a terrorist attack on a Jewish synagogue in Halle/Germany,
killing several
people. The Jews he blamed for everything. Many Germans and especially those
who have not forgotten the horror of the World War II, are shaken to the core
and convinced that the sad history of the Nazi era must be prevented from being
repeated. Policy and institutions struggle for an understanding of the crimes
and to find adequate ways to counter that elusive threat. A threat that finds
their breeding ground in the destructive syphilitic miasm
as we homeopaths know from Hahnemann’s theory of the chronic diseases.
After years of
investigating patients and their disease patterns Hahnemann found that primal maladies were of a miasmatic, chronic nature and he established the theory of
chronic diseases. He investigated the ways of suffering through group anamnesis
and found that a variety of diseases were linked by a mutual background,
thereby giving diseases a constitutional basis and the subject a predisposition
towards certain diseases. Miasms show themselves in
each aspect of the individual, altering the entire physical and psychical
constitution and urging the subject to behave and live in certain ways. In
disease, they find their expression in characteristic symptoms and patterns.
Neither the healthiest diet nor lifestyle could cure them, not even in persons
with the most robust constitution. Constituting a deep-rooted disease force
that rules at the very foundation
of the person’s
body and mind, miasms continue to increase with the
years until the end of life. Miasms can be inherited
or acquired from contagion and get worse from suppression, which causes the miasm to develop further and more serious symptoms to
occur. In Europe, Hahnemann found three of such miasms
which he named Psora, Sycosis
and Syphilis, with the main features of weakness and inhibition (psora), excess and overgrowth (sycosis),
destruction and perversion (syphilis).
Understanding the
nature and dynamics of these disease patterns and the character of symptoms
allows the homeopath to recognize the patient’s miasmatic
state and what
is behind the
symptoms that is to be cured.
The syphilitic miasm = destruction, degeneration and deformity on all
levels
The syphilitic miasm carries with it a mental, emotional and physical
destructiveness of sheer enormity. Syphilitics show in their appearance
asymmetries in the face, ears or elsewhere, with deformities of bones, birth
defects or missing toes or fingers. Lips are thin and early hair loss is
common. Caries of bones may show in the sunken nose bridge, and teeth may be
serrated, missing, crack or crumble, or are irregular, not in the correct
position. Early tooth decay with caries is common. The expression is
emotionless, they don’t want to be talked to or looked at, and their hardened,
cold-blooded look let‘s you feel their hate. Skin is cracked and ulcerated.
They are sensitive to heat and cold and typically averse to meat.
The syphilitic
subject has distorted ideas and a pessimistic view of life. They are usually
depressed and often suicidal. They tend to isolate themselves and to keep their
troubles to themselves, feeling alone and hopeless about them. Syphilitic
persons can’t comprehend or remember anything because their mind is destroyed.
They have nothing
to say and if so, are unable to express themselves. Because of their weak
mental power they forget what they were about to say and lose the meaning
when reading.
Syphilitics have few fears but fear being killed and threatened. They are
physically insensitive.
Syphilitic children
frequently look old and have a grayish skin and often
some deformities. The baby cries as soon as he is born (at night), but cannot
be consoled.
They don’t like
being held or touched, don’t smile and do not seem to need their mother. The
mothers, when being syphilitic too, may have had several aborts, stillborn
children, or bleeding during pregnancy. At school, syphilitic children have
learning difficulties due to their lack of comprehension. They cannot
concentrate and do not remember what they have learned. They don’t find any
friends because of their inability to make contact and they sit alone, or show
their aggressive tendencies by fighting with others. They prefer to play at
fighting, shooting and playing dangerous games. With their innate feelings of
hatred you can see these kids tramping on insects or snails
and enjoying
killing them. They like wearing dark colors like
gray, brown and black, and later, in youth, they spend their time in dark clubs
and at goth parties, pierced and tattooed with
death’s heads, and wearing barb wires around their neck. They dress to shock
and to hurt other’s feelings and often hurt themselves by self-mutilation,
cutting
or body piercing. I
remember a little boy when being on vacation, who asked me for the tick that I
had just removed from my dog. He said he wanted to be the one to kill
the tick because he
loved to see the blood splashing around. With the progression of the syphilitic
miasm these early sadistic or masochistic tendencies
will cause the most destructive symptoms to appear.
Having a fondness
for aggression and violence, syphilitics prefer watching horror movies with
lots of killing and shooting. Their desire to fight and kill is often fulfilled
by choosing
professions or hobbies that support their tendencies. They may even join the
army voluntarily to kill other people without any feeling of compassion.
Their desire for
death also finds its expression in alcoholism, drug problems and addiction,
which make them even more aggressive and slowly destroying themselves.
Syphilitics mistrust people and expect everyone to be their enemy. This may
drive them to kill others, even their own children. Feeling easily provoked,
they react with
extreme anger and
violence.
Hate is always
present, wherefore they use the word hate a lot. They hate people, their life, job and family, and may
become anarchists, assassins or serial killers due to their maliciousness.
…There is only defiance, hate, hate, and again hate… Hitler shouted with his
murderous slogans, filling his speeches with hateful accusations and promises
of revenge. As a
syphilitic person he tended to react by counterattacking and fighting at each
perceived provocation and promised …to destroy anybody who is against me.
Brutality, cruelty, contemptuousness, madness, insanity, and ferocity, all
indicate the destructiveness of this miasm. War and genocides literally demonstrate an ultimate
intensification of its destructive features with indescribable cruelties as
happened in Rwanda in 1994 or the Holocaust from 1941-1945. Hitler had always
expressed his
love for war and is
most remembered for his central leadership role in the rise of fascism in
Europe. He constantly perceived threat, was insanely suspicious and suffered
from persecution mania. One of his basic delusions was that Germany was
surrounded by enemies and the Jews …a parasite in the body of other nations. He
had a strong tendency to blame others and fervently expressed his hatred and desire
for revenge. His syphilitic delusions and inveterate antisemitism
became the pillars of his ideology and made
him capable of
killing and destroying nations without feeling guilt or moral scruples.
Hitler feared
infections and especially syphilis, in which he saw one of the greatest dangers
to mankind. This made him obsessive with hand washing and always carrying
a suitcase of
medicine with him when travelling. He knew about the mental diseases in his
family and was concerned about the questions of heredity and malformation,
which lead him to
promulgate the euthanasia program in Nazi Germany, systematically killing
physically or mentally disabled and emotionally distraught people.
Although Hitler
himself hadn’t been infected with syphilis we can find strong traits of it in
his family history – psychotic and mentally retarded family members, heavy
drinkers, criminals, early death of children, severe depression etc. Hitler
tried to make a secret of his ancestry as he wanted nobody to know where he
came from.
In syphilitic
patients the family history frequently reveals the signs of destructiveness,
with early death and suicides, stillborn children, and birth defects affecting
the most precious organs like kidneys, brain and heart, or genetic mutations
such as Down syndrome. Destructiveness also shows in the family history with
mental diseases such
as bipolar disorder
and schizophrenia, or they may suffer from Alzheimer‘s disease, multiple sclerosis
or Parkinson‘s disease due to the destruction of the brain or nerve cells.
Diseases of aging may also include destroyed function of memory such as
dementia and advancing to mental paralysis. Autoimmune diseases, in which the
person’s immune system attacks itself are syphilitic. As all diseases come with
a destructive tendency, lung infections may be lethal, and there is a tendency
to perforation in otitis media
or appendicitis.
Ailments such as sepsis, gangrene or necrosis may appear, and a corrosive, suppurative and bleeding tendency renders all ailments
dangerous.
Syphilitics die
suddenly, at a relatively young age, although they may seem to be in good
health for many years. Suppressive treatment measures and a lifestyle that is
out
of sync with nature
account for the miasms to become stronger and
complicated during the years of life.
Due to the
inheritability of miasms it is also common to find
people afflicted whose parents, grandparents and even more remote ancestors
originally acquired the miasmatic infection. During
the 18th and 19th century, syphilis was an extremely
common disease, stigmatizing its victims and their families, who tried to hide
the disease.
The Old School had
already discovered that syphilis is a constitutional pathological disease, but
for centuries, syphilis was not differentiated from gonorrhea.
It was Hahnemann
who reached to single them out and characterize them as different miasmatic diseases that leave their lifelong traits in
those who have been infected
and in their
offspring.
The syphilitic miasm is most active at night, from sunset to sunrise, and
so ailments start or aggravate at twilight and make the syphilitic subject fear
night. He gets easily depressed and more so at night, when he can’t sleep or
has horrible dreams of murder and killing.
Brooding over his ailments he cannot fall asleep and tosses and turns
restlessly. Thoughts of suicide or other destructive thoughts may come to mind.
Syphilitics prefer to have sex in secret because of the shame. Their sexual
expression is unnatural, perverted and destructive; they can have anal sex, sex
with animals or incest, leading to birth defects. Sexual abuse, rape, or any
sort of violent or harmful sex
or sexual fantasies
are common. Hiding is a central theme wherefore the syphilitic is secretive in
many ways. The German Wolfgang P., who kidnapped Natascha
Kampusch at the age of 10 and kept her hidden
underground in secret for 8 years was strongly syphilitic. He demanded absolute
obedience, felt easily provoked, and reacted with extreme anger and violence
from a small provocation, beating and kicking her. He let her almost starve and
molested her until she could finally manage to flee at the age of 18, when
he went right away
to the railway track to commit suicide by throwing himself before the train. He
lived in isolation and was unable to connect with other people, capable
of hiding his crime
for so long even from his close family members who visited him regularly.
Every thought,
feeling, creation, action or reaction mirrors the current miasmatic
state of the individual. In art, syphilitics typically express themselves
through a heavy tinge
of melancholy,
defeat and hopelessness. Many artists in the 18th and 19th
century became victims of that dreaded disease, that caused many to die early,
often from suicide,
or to suffer from
the aftermath of neurosyphilis. With psychiatric
symptoms, loss of cognitive functioning and change in personality they often
had to spend the rest of their lives in insane asylums, paralyzed, blind or
deaf. Their families often destroyed their medical documents to keep the
shameful secret, or dragged them away from publicity
to preserve their
fame and dignity. Anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, mania, despair,
hallucinations and paranoid delusions tortured them and influenced their
creations. One can feel the clouds always present in their works and becoming
increasingly darker with the progress of the disease, until finally reflecting
bleakness, despair and feelings of presentiment of death.
Some of the most
famous composers of classical music of that time bear the signs of syphilitic
mental deterioration like Franz Schubert. He was born in 1797 in Vienna/Austria
and died in 1828 from syphilis. In 1823 syphilis was diagnosed when he suffered
from severe mood swings, depression, periods of dark despair and violent anger,
headaches and dizziness. It is said that the shock of the diagnosis was so huge
that he decided never to return and finish his Unfinished Symphony. Symptoms of
mercury poisoning
from treatment
added to his torment, and especially his last works depict the melancholic
feelings of a tormented soul which despairs over his situation. Both his works,
Winter Journey and
Death and the Maiden are filled with strong syphilitic elements like death.
Reflecting his despair about having been infected so young with the prospect
of an early end of
his career and life, his hopes had come to nothing and he wrote to a friend: In
one word, I feel myself the most unhappy and miserable man on earth.
Robert Schumann was
a German composer and pianist and is regarded as one of the greatest composers
of the Romantic era. Born in Germany in 1810 he died already in
1856 from syphilis.
He probably got infected at the age of 20 and reached neurosyphilis
early, suffering from a lifelong mental disorder, and melancholic, depressive
episodes alternated with phases of exaltation. He made several attempts at
suicide and spent his last years in a mental asylum, suffering from delusions
and hallucinations of angelic and demonic visions because of the neurological
damage. Schumann tended not to compose during his periods of depression but
would wait until he felt better. Nevertheless there is a great sadness in some
of his works as for example, the opening of the slow movement of the First
Piano Trio, Op. 63, in which he leads us into the world of hopeless depression.
Syphilitic drawings
and paintings are usually painted in dark colors and
have a threatening look as those of Egon Schiele (1890-1918), an Austrian painter of expressionism,
whose father died of syphilis. Although he himself hasn’t been infected, his
artwork with distorted faces and often painted in brown or black, depict the
typical syphilitic
traits of deformity
and asymmetry. He died very young, at
the age of 28, from the Spanish flu.
In poetry, we can
also find the agony of a soul suffering from the syphilitic miasm
as in Robert William Service`s poem A Hero, which
shows the destructive mind of a
person who wishes to
kill another, and in the end decides it’s better to kill himself (in the poem).
He was a British-Canadian author who was born in 1874 and passed away
in 1958 from a
heart attack.
A Hero
Three times I had
the lust to kill,
To clutch a throat
so young and fair,
And squeeze with
all my might until
No breath of being
lingered there.
Three times I drove
the demon out,
Though on my brow
was evil sweat. . . .
And yet I know
beyond a doubt
He’ll get me yet,
he’ll get me yet.
I know I’m mad, I
ought to tell
The doctors, let
them care for me,
Confine me in a
padded cell
And never, never
set me free;
But Oh how cruel
that would be!
For I am young -
and comely too . . .
Yet dim my demon I
can see,
And there is but
one thing to do.
Three times I beat the
foul fiend back;
The fourth, I know
he will prevail,
And so I’ll seek
the railway track
And lay my head
upon the rail,
And sight the dark
and distant train,
And hear its
thunder louder roll,
Coming to crush my
cursed brain . . .
Oh God, have mercy
on my soul!
Great artists of
all genres dealt with the emotional truth of mankind of their time and many of
them gained the immortality they deserved by their creations, being capable
of inspiring
audiences and especially those who can deeply resonate with the expressed
feelings. Franz Schubert said: My music is the product of my genius and my
misery; and that which I have written in my greatest distress is that which the
world seems to like best.

The theory of miasms elucidates the fundamental cause of true chronic
diseases and is essential to understand humans illnesses and how they affect
the individual and the group as a whole. Being supported by the whole German
nation, C.G.Jung called Hitler “the loudspeaker that magnified
the inaudible whispers of the German soul“. Untreated, the syphilitic miasm is transmitted to future generations, where it
continues to manifest with even more destructiveness due to suppressive
measures and a lifestyle that is out of tune with the individuals pure nature. Proceso Sanchez Ortega opined about miasms
and the curative power of the homeopathic simillimum:
“The miasms represent everything that has been superimposed on
his essential being… they also represent a false personality, that is, a
personality which does not correspond faithfully to his intimate essential
nature.“
“The homeopathic
remedy, that is, the true simillimum prescribed one
after another through time will effect liberation of this essential nature of
man and reintegrate it into the homeostasis or harmony with the whole as well
as with itself. Thus, it stimulates and impels him toward plenitud.“
The capability of
curing miasms by homeopathy based on the law of similars is unparalleled by any other therapeutic method
and makes the destructive force of syphilis an evitable fate of mankind. As
homeopaths, we are able to go back to the very origin of the disease which
allows homeopathy to be truly eugenic, for the good of humankind!
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE SyphillitIC MIASM
The
syphilitic miasm is oxygenoid,
and is characterized by destruction. Homeopathic treatment can’t undo the
damage, but can stop the trait being passed on.
Symptoms
< night, < sunset to sunrise, < heat of the bed. The person is
self-destructive, may be suicidal, has no itch but skin eruptions that can
ulcerate, and is worse for elimination.
There
may be a great fear of the night, and a tendency to negative thoughts, and the
patient may be always washing their hands.
