I wanted to share with you all some interesting information which I and my wife have come across. As she is studying to become a homeopath and into her second year which goes deeper into Homeopathy and covers Miasms and Chronic diseases.

Background
There is already some information posted on the forum regarding Homeopathy as per the link below. I have provided a brief explanation as well. If you Google Homeopathy, there are some good articles floating around as well as on Wikipedia. http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,6407.msg61577.html

Homeopathy (founded by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796) is a lot different from allopathy in the way the patient is treated. In homeopathy, the patient is treated as a whole individual and not simply by the disease i.e. dissimilar to other patients with similar diseases. Before treating a patient, his/her mental symptoms are considered as top priority, followed by physical and emotional symptoms. In addition, a patient’s family history, diseases, past/present experiences are gathered to create a detailed list of symptoms. Those symptoms are then used to prescribe the appropriate remedy or medicine. E.g. 10 patients suffering from a symptom such as sneezing would not get an identical remedy due to their overall symptoms being different.

A homeopathy remedy is generally taken in liquid form mixed with warm water (most effective) or by placing and sucking tiny white sweet tasting granules on the tongue. The remedy comes in different potencies (30C to 10M in regular use) with 30C being quite common and a higher potency is only recommended when a fast acting response is required. The remedy goes directly into the nerves to attack the symptom at its root. This is different from allopathic medicines as they try to suppress the symptoms for a while which would return sooner or later. Think why common cold keeps on returning? Also, the remedies are made from natural ingredients which practically rule out any side effects. The only side effects which result from Homeopathy is when the correct remedy or right amount of potency isn’t prescribed which cause the symptoms to return or aggravate. This is essentially dependent on the experience and knowledge of a Homeopathy practitioner as well as the approach to treatment. As long as the right approach is followed, an amatuer practioner can also prescribe the right remedy.

Homeopathy is one of the safest ways to treat chronic cases. This may be difficult to prove scientifically but there are plenty of cases out there which we have personally come across. Some of the cases that Homeopathy has been able to treat include but not limited to Eczema, Asthma, Diabetes, Joint problems, chronic back pains, bronchitis, cold, hay fever, sinus problems. It has been said but not documented that homeopathy has been able to cure early stages of cancer. In addition, if someone has a family history of diabetes, asthma or cancer, a preventive remedy can be prescribed in early age to prevent the occurrence of such disease. By the way, you can practically administer the same remedy to humans as well as animals with matching symptoms.

Another important aspect is Vital force of the body. Homeopathy seeks to restore the vital force of the body by fighting the symptoms and letting the body grow stronger and more able to withstand negative effects on vital force. Also a patient has to have the will and some belief in homeopathy process and the prescribed remedy. This is not blind belief or some kind of blind faith in something but simply required to kick the body’s vital force into action. It has been noticed that someone who is against homeopathy in his/her mind may not get treated at all. The remedies would simply not work!!

Now I want to talk about Miasms
Samuel Hahnemann, while he was treating his patients discovered that especially in chronic cases, the symptoms kept on returning i.e. he was unable to eradicate the diseases completely from an organism. He started researching this vigorously and after approx.10-12 years, he made a huge discovery and coined it Miasms. Miasms simply means pollution or pollution of mind to be specific.

His research gave him ample data and evidence of the mind pollution prevalent in his research subjects and society as a whole. Mind pollution can be described as thoughts of greed, violence, dishonesty, deceitfulness, narcissism, gluttony, adultery and just about everything that can turn one onto a path of STS. Such mind pollution creates miasms. And the more miasms an individual has, the more sick that individual would become as a whole. Miasms are easily transferable – via multiple sex partners, to a child from parents. The exchange of bodily fluids during sexual intercourse leads to miasms being exchanged between both partners.

Hahnemann then concluded that miasms (mind pollution) manifested as physical symptoms in an individual and hence they kept on returning. This is a crucial discovery as it explains the link between mind and body and how one affects the other. Hahnemann, then adopted mental symptoms as the most important aspect when treating his patients and started testing and inventing new remedies. This is how homeopathy was born.
Hahnemann categorised miasms into three groups which was expanded into five by later homeopathic practitioners. The last two are a variation on first three in order to pin point the correct symptoms and prescribe an accurate treatment. They are as below and first three are covered in detail.

PSORIC, SYCOTIC, SYPHILITIC, TUBERCULAR, CARCINOGENIC

PSORIC MIASMS
Mental Symptoms –
Effects the financially poor, lack of confidence, melancholic, fear from worst outcomes, fear of failure, anxiety about the future, worry about money, greed of money (wants to have everything that the neighbour has), prefer savings and not spending, miserly, struggling with materialism, self-limited thinking, fear of getting diseases, afraid to be lonely, shy and fearful of richer people, dull and forgetful, always confused and unstable, slow thinking and slow acting, everything appears to be an effort. Mind paralysis is quite common.

Physical symptoms - Scabies (eruption of itch on skin around stomach, pancreas, spleen

SYCOTIC MIASMS
Mental Symptoms – Greed and desire for more and more, manipulative, deceptive and deceitful
Extreme mood swings, very secretive and close minded, does not like to be controlled by others.
Prefer competition and being in a state of power and control they would happily migrate to places where power and control can be exercised. Use emotional tricks to control people, suspicious of other people’s motives, afraid of getting caught.

Fissures, worse at night
Nervous system – Parkinson’s
Epilepsy, Paralysis, drug addiction, alcoholism

TUBERCULAR and CARCINOGENIC MIASMS
These miasms were not established by Hahnemann and at moment I do not have clear information on it. Perhaps as my wife goes further in her studies, I will have more information.

Conclusion
Now, as me and my wife have been actively discussing homeopathy and various other topics from Cass. Forum and the going through the recommended books, something struck me when the topic of miasms came up. That Hahnemann, while discovering miasms actually and inadvertently discovered psychopathy and ponerisation of society as its aftereffect. The psychopathic gene which seems to contain all three miasms gave rise to the first miasm and then it spread over a period of time and currently, the majority of world population has picked up miasms and it continues to spread. As a result, more people are falling sick, dying, cancer is on increase, stress has become an epidemic and psychopath numbers are increasing. No wonder, the PTB want to ban Homeopathy because it can potentially cure Psychopathy or at least the people suffering from the after-affects. Miasm could also be loosely related to what Carlos Castaneda and his master Don Juan described as the Predator mind which only seeks to control and destroy the individual.

As a living example, I can testify that homeopathy has cured my morning cold and hay fever. Now in order to eradicate it completely from my body, my wife is focussing on my immune system which is the root cause of all my sickness. I am also a case of SYPHILITIC MIASM as discovered with my sessions with my wife due to suppressed emotions, family history and other life experiences I had to go through. Now, the usual disclaimer that the above information is a personal opinion and I do urge readers to treat the above information with a grain of salt and not start comparing their own symptoms and going in all sorts of directions. It is always best to seek advice from a professional Homeopath.
I do invite comments from other members regarding this and would post more as I learn more about homeopathy.

Some recommended books on Homeopathy include –
Hahnemann: The Oragnon
The Chronic Diseases
The Chronic Miasms by Kent
Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy by James Tyler Kent
Comparisons of the Miasms by Speight
 
Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), the founder of modern homeopathy, was a physician who was primarily concerned with treating and curing disease. When confronted with patients having chronic health issues which did not get cured completely with the application of "the law of similars" and "minimum dose", he set about to find the root cause of chronic diseases and came up with the theory of miasms (Greek: to defile). He identified "psora" as the original miasm or "pollutant" which perhaps affected mankind since the fall of Adam. Psora is said to be latent in every human being and gets activated through a variety of causes like diet, trauma, vaccination etc. The principal mental characteristic of psora seems to be fear. The syphilitic and sycotic miasms were said to be derived from psora through some physical action. The miasms have a physical or somatic as well as a mental component. Hahnemann advised physicians to look for history of somatic ailments even for patients whose current complaint was predominantly mental/emotional in nature for miasmatic treatments.

If we come to what is known about psychopathy today, it is not a disease in the proper sense of the term. The psychopath is "at ease" with his/her condition. There are apparently no distinct somatic markers in psychopathy - like one sees somatic symptoms in miasmatic diseases. Psychopaths - at least the primary variety - are fearless. So I doubt whether there is any primary connection between Hahnemann's miasms and psychopathy - and that is assuming the objective validity of the miasm theory.

What Hahnemann and other homeopathic physicians were seeing in miasms could be the "effect of psychopathy" on otherwise normal people, for whom the ponerizing effect of psychopaths would be a "disease" - one with mental/emotional and physical markers. The homeopathic physicians of yesteryears could have been studying predominantly neurotics who may display pathological characteristics as a result of ponerization. George Simon's "Character Disturbance" (discussed here ) is a good place to look at the spectrum of how neurotic characteristics differ from character disorder or disturbances. The medical community has confused the two for a very long time.

fwiw
 
I have to agree with Obvyvatel Sid, in my opinion your conclusion is quite a stretch FWIW
 
In our family we have used homeopathy and Chinese Traditional Medicine for about 30 years, and we have come to realize that disease conditions can be from various causes - from physical pathogens, from toxic conditions, from allergic reactions, or from energy imbalances.

Of these the energy problems are perhaps the most difficult to address, as it is not often obvious as to the cause. Sometimes it almost seems that these cases are the result of psychic attack.

Homeopathy can treat all of the above, but we have observed that it seems to be very well suited to treating energetic problems. Other methods of treating these are Jaffe-Mellor Technique, cupping and acupuncture. Combining different methods seems to have the best effect.
