Miasmatic Treatment of Chronic Diseases

Homeopathy in itself is a holistic therapy because the whole human being is concerned. Whatever potency is used, you reach the physical, emotional and mental level of a patient. Homeopathy is the only Western medical system based on rhythm. As rhythm is the essential expression of life, as everything in our physical body and every organ system has its own rhythm, homeopathy is so successful. Always keep  in mind, that the physical body is the perfect orchestra and produces the finest, most harmonious music of life. Everything in our body is in perfect composition, in perfect antagonism and balance.

We are no longer living in the 19^th or 20^th century and many changes have taken place in homeopathy. Chronic diseases have changed more to the destructive side and demand new approaches from us, the therapists. We need holistic concepts of healing which comprise the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. There is no rule on how to compose a holistic concept. We must be creative and keep in mind to include the whole man, woman, and child.

A lot of changes have to take place in our own minds. These include, more tolerance, more acceptance of other perspectives and types of treatment and more empathy for others’ experience. If we want to be successful in dealing with today’s severe chronic diseases, we need to put aside unnecessary walls between the different healing arts. There is the intense desire to understand the laws of nature and their correspondence in the human organism. The more we disregard them, the more destructive become the diseases of our time. Healing must be simple, the healing process well structured, and it must make sense to the patient.

To make my point more clearly, I start with a perception that sounds very simple and easy, but stretches its branches to any part of our treatment ideas: The patient´s healing takes place at home.

Can you feel what that really means? In our practise we present therapies to the patient, who gets relief for a while and can experience what is possible. But then he goes home to his normal life, reined in by inherited and established ways of thinking, feeling and acting. For some days our therapies may still vibrate in the patient´s mind. However, he got ill by his way of copying others’ arguments, behaviours and thoughts instead of living authentically. Many people die as copies, not as what they were meant for originally. Healing always aims at unfolding the patient’s originality. Of course, there are patients who feel that inner drive to change their life style, nutrition and conscious mind. But how often do we meet them in our homeopathic practice? Most of our patients need help to get out of their habits and way of thinking.

In miasmatic treatment we consider this reality and administer, beside good remedies, helpful exercises and little rituals which give a useful structure to the patient´s day. Otherwise the patient is stuck in her  disease, with her thoughts turning round and round about the disease. Healing means a change of mind and deep belief in self-healing.

The holistic concept

My holistic concept of treatment for chronic disease is comprised of the following items:

· Miasmatic homeopathy, following the logical self healing programs of the organism

· Creative self-expression of the patient (painting, music, singing, dancing, sculpturing etc.)

· “Healing nutrition” – A plan for 2 months

· Remedies to regulate cellular respiration, the intestines and the metabolism

· Breathing exercises

Miasmatic Homeopathy

We first have to explain a homeopathic concept. There is no doubt that homeopathy plays the most important role in cancer treatment, because it can remove the miasmatic activities. For that we need a clear and simple concept. You know Hahnemann’s concepts of psoric, sycotic and syphilitic miasms. Let us keep in mind: a miasm is not a disease in itself. It is the manifested collective conscious mind which calls forth the corresponding epidemic. Epidemics like syphilis, scabies or gonorrhoea, are not the miasms, they are only the perfect manifestation of the syphilitic, psoric and gonorrhoeal mind. It is the miasm that creates the disease. Mind and matter are of equal manner.  From Hahnemann we got the threefold miasm concept.

We come to the fourfold concept, born by the genius John Henry Allen, who discovered in the 19^th century, tuberculosis as the expression of a new miasm. He considered the tuberculosis miasm as a merging or fusion of the psoric and syphilitic miasms. Today we know the tubercular miasm rests between the psoric and sycotic miasms and has a dramatic correspondence to the syphilitic level. In other words, in this miasm lies the germ for destruction, a syphilitic development. Tubercular processes can be become dramatic and destructive, as we know. In these cases we need to treat the sycotic centre.

Another branch of the miasmatic concept developed since the beginning of the 20^th century is the cancer miasm. It is a combination of sycotic and syphilitic aspects.

Today we work with a sevenfold concept, enriched by the parasitosis, a new branch of the old sycosis. The parasitosis is the result of vaccination and the consumption of allopathic remedies with their side effects. On the sycotic level therefore, we often need isodes of the medical and chemical stuff or drugs.

See the drawing of the miasmatic concept.

The logical way of healing

Another important issue is the logic of the healing process. It makes sense to start on the most serious level of a disease and push it away from the essential body functions to compensating organs and then out to the skin. A chronic disease starts and ends on the psoric level. In between, other miasmatic levels are concerned. As therapists, we have to believe in the healing power of the organism. Often we only believe in the pathological aim of a disease, but don’t trust the self healing power (although in homeopathy we acknowledge the life force). A miasmatic treatment of any serious disease teaches us to trust the natural and logical self healing programs of the body. There is consciousness in each cell and we have to administer new healthy information. We have to speak the same language as the body, not any artificial intellectual language. The body is as wise as nature and its self- healing programs are extremely economical. The Simillimum for the body must be simple and economical. To deal with complicated matters and situations we cannot be complicated ourselves. We have to use an economical and simple concept. Let us consider the logical way of healing chronic diseases with the help of the following drawing:

If we follow this simple concept we establish a rule. From that starting point it is much easier to deal with the many exceptions in the individual healing process of a patient. A well chosen and clear concept functions like a red thread, a guide line.  The patient wants to understand what is going on, what the symptoms mean and what the unreleased conflicts are behind his disease. That is why I developed a simple drawing for the patient, which many colleagues use as well. The “House of Miasms”.

You see stairs from one level to the next. That is very important for a gentle treatment. Each step is represented by certain homeopathic remedies which can release the analogous state of cancer disease. It makes sense that there are not too many remedies of such power.
