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

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."

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.

Wenn jemand z.B. von Gefahr träumt, muß man nachforschen,
ob es einen Weg zur Flucht gibt. Wenn nicht, ist es eine ausweglose Situation –
das weist dann auf ein Miasma nahe der Syphilis hin. Das syphilitische Gefühl
ist völlig hoffnungslos. Will keine Gesellschaft mehr. Gefühl, wie verrückt zu
werden. Totale Isolation. Das Isolationsgefühl ist im Psora-Miasma am
geringsten, im Syphilis-Miasma am stärksten
China ist suizidal aber hat keinen Mut dazu – liegt zwischen
Sykose-Miasma und Malaria-Miasma.
Psorinum hat auch größte Verzweiflung um die Genesung.
Hat Angst und Vorahnungen z.B.: "Mein Geschäft blüht heute, aber morgen,
was wird morgen sein? Da ist immer noch ein Rest Optimismus. Man muß alles tun,
damit das nicht passiert. Und dann ist es auch noch nicht das Ende der Welt.
Psoriker sprechen von Suizid, wollen aber leben.

Einschätzung der Situation und der nötigen Reaktion
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
ist erstickend. Der Spielraum ist eng; Zeit ist zu kurz, zu viel muß in zu
wenig Zeit getan werden.
Version der Bewältigung
Intensive hektische Aktivität, um aus der
unterdrückenden, erstickenden Situation auszubrechen. Die Situation muß um
jeden Preis verändert werden. Es darf nicht so 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.
Pathologien: Gangrän; Lähmung

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.

The task is hopeless, but let me do the best I

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 auf 30 bis 40% und seine Hauptarzneien sind nach meiner Ansicht

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.
