MIASMS Sankaran SANKARAN VIEW OF MIASMS MIASMS

In a large number of chronic diseases, Hahnemann found that the disease

continued to progress in spite of the administration of the carefully selected
homoeopathic remedy. Hahnemann was occupied with finding the solution to this
problem, and at length, he discovered that chronic diseases nearly always had a
pattern that could be related to Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis - the chronic miasms.
He postulated that the chronic diseases resulted from badly suppressed scabies
(itch), gonorrhoea and syphilis respectively. He then indicated the drugs likely to
be most useful in treating such cases - the anti-miasmatics. This new
understanding enabled Hahnemann to succeed where he had failed in the past.
Having studied the theory of miasms, and understanding it in the light of my own
concept of disease as a delusion, my practice of Homoeopathy has become
much simpler, and my prescribing more certain. As I understand it, disease is a
false perception of reality... a delusion. It seems as if this false perception has its
root in either an actual situation from the patient's own life, or in a situation of a
parent or ancestor. As long as the situation did exist, the patient's reaction was
justified. However the impact of the earlier situation is such that even when faced
with another situation, the patient's reaction is as though he even were still in the
previous situation. This is his delusion. Relating this idea to the theory of miasms,
it became clear that the classification of diseases must be a classification of
delusions. And as drugs are nothing but artificial diseases, the classification is
both a disease-state and a drug-state classification. The symptoms of the
disease (or drug) represent the survival mechanism called for in the original
situation. But the person feels that in order to survive, he must always respond
as if in the original situation. The original situation or the patient's (false)
perception of reality differs according to the miasm of the patient. Therefore to
recognize the miasm, one has to determine how reality is perceived by the
patient. The original situation of each remedy would demand an acute, psoric,
sycotic or syphilitic reaction predominantly.

This miasmatic classification of disease, based on the concept of disease as a

delusion, is not restricted to the mental state alone. We know that the mind and
the body work harmoniously as a unit, and the disturbance is uniformly
expressed in both spheres. The state of the mind and body are always related,
the delusion belongs to the person as a whole and is reflected at both levels. The
mental state, the physical state and the characteristic features of the pathology
together represent the totality. And before searching for a remedy in a particular
case, one must settle upon the miasm. The miasm of the remedy and the miasm
of the disease have to be matched. In order to find out if there was a particular
theme to each miasm, I studied some drugs generally accepted as belonging to
that miasm, attempting to find a common theme amongst them, if there was one.
I used Hahnemann's classification of diseases and drugs.
Acute: Aconitum, Belladonna, Stramonium Chronic: Psora: Sulphur, Psorinum
Sycosis: Thuja, Medorrhinum Syphilis: Mercurius, Syphilinum In studying the
miasms with the help of different remedies, I came to understand that the nosode
represents the centrepoint of the miasm. The nosode is the product of tissue that
is fully under the influence of the infectious disease. It represents these defeated
tissue qualities of the infection and infectious process. For example a study of
Psorinum will show the very character of Psora, likewise with Medorrhinum and
Syphilinum. The problem of the nosode is non-specific and of an undifferentiated
character, whereas with other remedies belonging to the same miasm it becomes
differentiated and specific. My conclusions about the themes of the various
miasms which follow, are a result of a detailed study of the various remedies in
relation to the miasms, as well as my own clinical understanding of drugs and
patients. Further, I have added other miasms that would lie between the already
known miasms listed above. One of these is the tubercular miasm, on which
there is abundant literature available. The other

additions are my own, having been discovered and verified by me in my practice.

SANKARAN: -

APPLICATION OF THE THEORY OF MIASMS In Understanding the Cases The

miasm has to be settled upon before searching for the remedy; the drug must
match the pace and nature of the disease. One has to ask the question: "What is
the element in the case?" Is it: • threatening (acute miasm), • a struggle (psora), •
a fixed, irremediable weakness within the self (sycosis), or • a destruction
(syphilis). In Understanding and Differentiating Remedy States For example
Hyoscyamus (acute) versus Lachesis (syco-syphilitic). The state of Hyoscyamus
is that of a man whose delusion is that his wife is trying to poison him; someone
is trying to hurt and injure him, someone persecutes him. So he loses control of
himself and starts behaving foolishly and ridiculously. He is always excited and
presents an instinctive, instantaneous reaction. Lachesis is the situation of a
menopausal woman whose husband has a young girlfriend. She has a feeling of
weakness within herself. She is competing with someone better and her survival
depends on winning. She develops egotism, always talks about herself, becomes
sarcastic (putting others down) and deceitful (putting herself up). In
Understanding and Using the Repertory Many rubrics contain remedies of all
different miasms, and therefore each rubric has to be examined thoroughly as to
where it originates and what it represents, what is its pace, quality and underlying
element. For example let us take the rubric "Kill, impulse to". Behind, this rubric
had the delusion that someone is pursuing the patient. The acute miasm
personality would react in an instinctive way. The psoric state will

struggle. The sycotic will try and hide. The syphilitic remedies will collapse or hit
back. In the Selection of the Remedy The most characteristic symptoms in a
case will give an indication of the predominant and other miasms present. It is all
important to match the miasm present in the case in the selection of a similimum.
MIASMS Classification Remedies
=============================================== =======
SUMMARY OF CURRENT MIASM CLASSIFICATION WITH MAIN
CHARACTERISTICS (The refinement and expansion of miasmatic classification
has continued since 1828, identifying additional natural miasms, which tend to be
expressed in terms of their relation to other miasms via symptomology and
“essence” of the miasm. Much of the most recent classification work has been
done by Rajan Sankaran. Additional miasms have been created by the
suppressive practices of vaccination and allopathic medicinal measures, which
generally do not remove the disease. Some call these “Drug Miasms”. As well,
poisonings by chemical and technological influences create miasmatic damage
to the genome which is passed down; examples-the “nuclear” miasm or the
“petrochemical” miasm. So the miasms have proliferated. However, since
sickness does not manifest without susceptibility, the original “natural” miasms
tend to be the most important, and tend to determine even susceptibility of the
compromised organism to various influences, including those of medicine and
industry.

It is important to recognize that most of this information, while being empirically

derived, is theory. •PSORA Fear; Hyperfunction (ex-allergy) Nosode: Psorinum

THE PSORIC MIASM The situation of the psoric miasm is a difficult one, where
the patient has to struggle in order to succeed. The delusion in Psora has two
components: • Stress from outside, and • Anxiety from doubt about his own
ability/capability to deal with the stress. He is hopeful, and failure does not mean
the end of the world. Let us take for example Sulphur, the "King of Anti-Psoric
Remedies". One finds the following rubrics: • Delusion, is getting thin. • Delusion,
disgraced. • Fear, of poverty. The reaction is seen in the following: • Talks of
business.

• Imagines himself a great man; though ignorant, despises literary men and
education. We find here a struggle with ego and money. The feeling is that the
person is losing something, and he must struggle in order to get it back. These
conclusions are corroborated by the central features of scabies itself. In scabies,
there is a lot of itching, a constant struggle, with extreme discomfort, but it is not
life-threatening, not hopeless. The psoric personality is usually active and
expressive. The patient generally has highs and lows. The struggle is like a tug-
of-war with the outside world - when the balance is on his side, he feels high, but
when the balance is on the other side, he feels low. It is an active struggle, and it
becomes more apparent during times of stress. At the same time, there is a lack
of confidence in facing the situation, a feeling that he won't be able to do it. This
causes a constant anxiety, which becomes apparent when he is actually faced
with the situation (active psora). It is also present when he is not faced with the
situation; it is then a kind of anticipatory anxiety, and it is not so distressing
(latent psora). This causes a kind of internal restlessness, insecurity,
dissatisfaction, sensitivity and anxiety about the future. However, there is always
hope, now matter how bad the situation. The psoric person is usually expressive
during case-taking. He is keen of mind, observant and describes his symptoms
well. He has many and varied dreams which reflect his anxiety about not being
able to cope with a situation, and the struggle to cope. Since the delusion
belongs to the whole, the symptoms of the mind and body are common, and in its
physical aspect the psoric miasm will show the same highs and lows we see in
the mind. It will demonstrate a hypersensitivity to physical factors and will
manifest the same struggle and activity. There is a reaction to one's
surroundings, a response to environmental stimuli. For example light, noise,
odours, etc., affect the psoric person and cause in him functional disturbances,
e.g. headache, nausea, discomfort, etc. These functional disturbances can be
seen at various levels, in the various systems, and they will be accompanied by a
plethora of modalities. Accompanying this will also be seen a plethora of
generalities, and psora has the maximum number of cravings and aversions.
Pathological changes, whenever present, are usually reversible, although this is
not invariable.

The psoric miasm is usually predominant in the years where one has to stand on
one's own feet and face the world - the years of youth and adolescence, which is
usually the period of struggle.

Syphilitic Remedies: Mercurius, Aurum, Syphilinum Keyword: BREAKING

Central: Situation is delusion beyond repair: so change or destroy. Reaction to
stress: Destruction of self or stressor. Form of reaction: DESTRUCTION THE
SYPHILITIC MIASM The delusion of syphilitic remedies is that they are faced
with a situation that is beyond salvage, leading to complete hopelessness and
despair. The response to this feeling is a drastic do-or-die attempt to change
either oneself or the environment, a violent process - a last ditch attempt. For
example Mercurius, one of the most syphilitic remedies in the book, has the
delusion that he is surrounded by enemies. He is therefore, very suspicious and
has suicidal and homicidal impulses against anyone who contradicts him.
Syphilitic personalities have a strongly pessimistic view of life. They believe that it
is not possible to modify what has already gone wrong; it has to be radically
changed or destroyed. With this internal feeling, they react impulsively and
violently to any situation - be it insult, criticism or domination. There is a chronic,
deep-seated pessimism with occasional sudden violence directed at himself or
others - a mercurial temper. The syphilitic person also has very rigid ideas, not
only about himself (as in the sycotic personality) but also about the situation. He
is usually aggravated by contradiction, is dictatorial, and not amenable to
change, unlike the psoric personality who is impressionable. The syphilitic
response occurs when one is faced with a superhuman task - one where no man
can succeed. Syphilis itself is a chronic desperate struggle. It is an infection
where the body destroys itself in an attempt to survive by producing ulceration,
caries, gangrene, etc. It is a violent effort in a hopeless situation. The syphilitic
process is a slow and degenerative process which has been taking place over a
long time. The syphilic feeling therefore is: "The situation is desperate and
hopeless and I can't cope".

There must be change. The mind and the body move towards destruction. The
age of syphilis is that of senescence. There is no hope now, the struggle is over.
Even coping with the self is not possible, and the only way out is death and
destruction. -

Sycotic Remedies: Thuja, Medorrhinum Keyword: BUILDING (masking) Central:

Weakness in self which he has to cover up, to mask, to keep secret. Reaction to
stress: Fixed ideas leading to compulsions and compulsive actions out of a
feeling of inner weakness. Form of reaction: COVER UP THE SYCOTIC MIASM
The feeling of sycotic remedies is: "I am incapable of handling this situation.
Something is wrong with me". It is a the feeling of a fixed, irremediable weakness
within oneself. With this admission, there is an attempt to cope with it by covering
it up, and hiding it from others by egotism, secrecy and compulsive acts. The
feeling probably arises after having struggled without success for sometime.
Thus we say that psora is the mother of sycosis. To understand the feeling of
sycosis, let us take the example of Thuja. Thuja has: • Delusion, he is made of
glass.

• Delusion, he is thin. • Delusion, his body is fragile. He therefore develops fixed

ideas, will not be touched or approached, becomes secretive, fanatical, etc.
Gonorrhoea itself shows a chronic, steady, fixed defence in the form of gleet.
There is no likelihood of complete recovery, but the situation is not a desperate
one. It is in fact a fixed state. The sycotic personality is very secretive. The
patient is always trying to hide his weakness and is constantly tense. These
constant efforts to cover up his weakness make even everyday life stressful. He
never hopes to get rid of this weakness; all he wants to do is somehow to cover it
up. Consequently he is more closed during the interview. The sycotic person has
fixed habits and traits, and acts in particular ways; even his dreams are specific.
The sycotic individual is less active and more reserved than the psoric. Sycotic
personalities and drugs have this feeling of inadequacy, and the consequent
efforts to cover up the same on the physical sphere as well. The mind and body,
both overact, to cover up this imagined weakness. Since, unlike psora, one is
trying to cope with the body's own weakness rather than with any stress from
outside, sycosis is not usually affected by external factors. The aggravating
factors will be more specific and there will not be the plethora of modalities nor
the accompanying generalities as is seen in psora. The reaction is in fact
concentrated at specific sites and organ systems, tending to cause chronic, slow
troubles usually with a tendency to overreaction in that particular sphere. The
reaction will be the same no matter what the stimulus, or even when there is no
stimulus. Thus we see overgrowths, hyper-immune responses, fixed and steady
disease states like asthma, and structural pathology. The disease usually has an
insidious onset and its course is steady. The accompanying modalities and
generalities like cravings and aversions are very specific and therefore limited in
number. There is a tendency for the discharges to leave indelible stains. The
nosode Medorrhinum represents the centre-point of the sycotic miasm. The
feeling of incapacity and the fear of being exposed is represented in
Medorrhinum by his fears and anxieties. He is always anticipating that something
bad will happen. He has an anxiety of conscience, as if guilty of a crime. He has
a fear that someone was behind him. On the physical plane, this inner anxiety
and restlessness is

manifest by signs such as restlessness of the feet, constant nail-biting and the
need to wash his hands repeatedly. But in order to cover up this feeling of
incapacity, Medorrhinum may appear egoistic, rude, critical, extravagant and can
act as if nothing really bothers or affects him. He is unwilling to take up
responsibilities, because he feels that he is unable to fulfill them, his weakness
will be exposed. The sycotic miasm will be seen predominantly around middle
age when the person, having struggled a long time, sees many defects within
himself, and tries to cover them up. This is the time when ideas become rigid,
freedom restricted, and the person is content to cope rather than to struggle.

MIASMS IN BETWEEN SYCOSIS AND SYPHILIS The Tubercular Miasm There

is in homoeopathic literature, abundant material on the tubercular miasm as well
(apart from the classical trio of psora, sycosis and syphilis). The main feeling in
the tubercular miasm is a sense of oppression. It is a feeling that one's weakness
is being exploited. The reaction is violent, almost tending towards syphilis. The
tubercular miasm can be understood through Drosera. The theme of Drosera is
one of being stabbed in the back, of being deceived by one's own friends:
"Imagines being deceived by spiteful, envious people" (Phatak's Materia Medica).
At the same time there is a great deal of dependence of the patient on his
friends. He feels his weakness

is being taken advantage of. He feels harassed and let down by his own friends,
and reacts to this oppression violently. The cough also is described as
"harassing" by Phatak and the slightest irritation causes violent bouts of cough
excited by a tickling sensation in the throat. Drosera also has suicidal
inclinations. Tuberculosis is one of the most widespread infections known to
mankind accounting for much morbidity and mortality. In its pathology we see
destruction of tissues and lasting disability in the form of restricted lung space
due to fibrosis. There is a great need to take a deep breath: "Oppression of the
chest", "Suffocation". We have the sycotic aspect wherein the person lives for the
rest of his life with a fixed weakness, and very often has tendencies to recurrent
colds and other respiratory affections. On the other hand, tuberculosis is known
to have violent progressive features which are almost totally hopeless without
medical intervention: for example TB meningitis, miliary TB, etc. -

THE HYDROPHOBIC MIASM (Lou Klein) This miasm has some resonance with
the myth of the werewolf and has connection with dogs/wolves/canines and the
“howling at the moon” archetype. The moon controls movement of the physical
water on the earth. .Lyssin (Hydrophobinum) is the typical remedy of the this
miasm. It is made from the sputum of a rabid dog. The etiology of the disease, or
the triggering of the miasm, can be from a dog bite, the rabies vaccine, a strong
miasmatic inheritance, or violent electrocution. Rabies is on the increase as is
the use of the vaccine. Bites from violent cats will give Rabies-like symptoms.
Around the time of Pasteur, there are recordings of many people being treated
for Rabies. The acute phase of the disease includes: Fear of Water Cannot
swallow water Wounds heal too quickly Death from suffocation and paralysis

Thus, Lyssin and the miasm in general may have the sensation of suffocation or
sensation of choking, esp. when drinking water. Lyssin and Stramonium remove
the effects of the bites of rabid dogs. According to Boericke, rabies can be
antidoted acutely and after Rabies vaccine by Lachesis. The bites of violent cats:
consider Acetic acid. Lyssin is well represented in the repertory compared to its
frequency of use. It has a primary food craving for chocolate, salty things, and
strange things during pregnancy. The typical remedies of the hydrophobic miasm
are Lyssin, Stramonium, Hyoscyamus, and Belladonna. The name of the miasm
relates to the fear of water present in persons afflicted with the disease or miasm.
This fear also extends to sparkling reflection and mirrors. This miasm, according
to Klein, is associated with situations where consistent abuse has occurred, such
as when someone has been insulted continuously by those on whom they are
dependent. This leads to a forsaken feeling.

example, the person must urinate on hearing running or “slurping” water.

The Leprous Miasm The leprous miasm has features to indicate that it is almost
exactly between the tubercular and syphilitic miasms. The main feeling in the
leprous miasm is one of intense oppression and an intense hopelessness, with
an intense desire for change. In its pathology, leprosy is of three distinct types.
Tuberculoid leprosy though progressive, has a better prognosis than the other
types - there is hope. Lepromatous leprosy on the other hand, is rapidly
progressive and destructive, resembling syphilis. The intermediate type lies
between these two. According to me the drug which best represents the leprous
miasm is Secale cornutum In his Repertory, under the rubric "Skin, eruptions,
leprosy", Kent gives Secale and Sulphur in bold types. The symptoms we find in
the leprosy patient are loathing for self, ashamed, abandoned (forsaken), hatred
and despised. Lepers are treated worse than animals and are often the objects of
loathing. It is an almost hopeless situation. In Secale we find "Violent, fight, wants
to", "Forsakes his relatives" and "Becomes shameless". It is known for its
destructive pathologies, especially gangrene which would be one of the
prominent pathologies of the leprous miasm. This miasm requires much deeper
investigation and I haven't been able to understand it fully as yet.

THE RINGWORM MIASM

I had some difficulty in finding a miasm in between psora and sycosis. It would
have to have both, the characteristics of psora i.e. the struggle with anxiety about
success, as well as sycosis i.e. the fixity resulting from a feeling of inadequacy
within oneself. I was searching for an infection which comes up suddenly with an
intense struggle which is not life threatening, but at other times is quiet and fixed.
After much thinking and reading, I got the idea that this infection was none other
than Ringworm. The latter is characterized by periods when it is just another skin
lesion and at times when it itches terribly like scabies, compelling scratching.
Thus, there are both, the resigned acceptance as well as the element of struggle.
In order to confirm this idea, I conducted a proving of Ringworm. For the details
of the proving, I refer the reader to my book "The Substance of Homoeopathy".
The theme of the miasm was reflected in the dreams of the provers. Most of the
dreams had the feeling of trying to do something. On the one hand there were
periods of trying with a feeling of hope. At other times there was resignation and
acceptance of the situation, only to be followed by another trial. Thus, there was
an alternation between struggling and giving up in the dreams of most provers.
The situation of the ringworm miasm seems to be one that is on the borderline of
the patient's capacity, and while not threatening, it is good for him to succeed. So
he tries periodically but each time he fails, he gives up and accepts it. This
reminds me of the struggle of obese people trying to lose weight. There are
periods of struggling, jogging, walking, dieting, followed by periods of acceptance
and calories. The main remedies for the miasm are Calcarea sulphurica and
Calcarea silicata. Calcarea sulphurica has periods when the person sits and
meditates over imaginary misfortune (nothing can be done), and at times when
he is "Quarrelsome", "Hasty", "Hurried", etc., he feels he is not appreciated and
so tries to win appreciation. When he fails, he just sits and broods over his
misfortune. Calcarea silicata has "Anxiety about health" and "Utterly
ambitionless" on one hand, while on the other it has "Hurried", "Impatient" and
"Anticipatory anxiety". The patient feels incapable of performing and gives poor
health as an excuse for not being able to perform, but at other times he somehow
tries to live up to the expectations.

BETWEEN ACUTE AND SYCOTIC MIASM - THE MALARIAL MIASM

A miasm between the acute and sycotic should have an acute feeling of threat
that comes up intermittently in phases between which there is a chronic,
underlying fixed feeling of being deficient. The idea that came to me immediately
was the malarial miasm. Malaria is a very common infection; it has periods of
relative dormancy, intermitted with sudden, acute attacks of fever with chills
followed again by a quiet phase. The main remedy of the malarial miasm is
China. The main feeling of this miasm and of China is one of persecution. China
has two components - the acute threat, with its fear of dogs, etc., on the one
hand, and on the other, it has fixed ideas and the chronic, tormented, hindered,
persecuted feelings, which give rise to theorizing and planning without any hope
of executing these plans. This remedy has severe spasmodic colics and periods
of quiescence. Phatak describes the pains as atrocious. It is as though atrocities
are being committed on him - akin to persecution.

THE SUBACUTE/TYPHOID MIASM I concluded that a miasm between the acute

and the psoric miasms had to be typhoid. Typhoid has a prolonged prodrome
with a feeling of malaise, days before the temperature rises significantly. The
fever is continuous, rises higher each day, and can become life threatening.
Typhoid has both the acute features as well as the slowness. It is an intense
struggle in which there is an acute threat from outside - the response is not just
instinctive, but also has the component of struggle. The feeling is that of a critical
situation which, if handled properly for a critical period, will end in total recovery.
One of the main drugs of the typhoid miasm is Bryonia. Bryonia has "Fear of
Poverty" and a struggle for wealth. It has "Delirium, talks of business", which
gives an indication as to how critical and acute the situation is, and how intensely
the patient is struggling against it. Bryonia ia also listed under "Fear of starving". -

REACTION (instinctive) Central: Threat is too strong. Reaction to stress:
Instinctive reaction, with no sense of fault in oneself., Fault is entirely on the side
of stressor. Form of reaction: Reflex - ACTION THE ACUTE MIASM In the drugs
of the acute miasm, there is the feeling that: "There is a strong threat from the
outside world". The reaction to this threat is strong, instinctive and reflex. For
example Stramonium has "Delusion, alone in the wilderness". The reaction is
seen in the following symptoms: "Desire for light and company" and "Children
wake up screaming, recognize no one, and cling to those nearby". The central
features of the acute disease itself correspond to the feeling of threat and the
strong, almost immediate reaction. The acute disease has a sudden onset, rapid
progress and a swift termination; it ends either with death or recovery. It will be
noticed that Aconitum and Belladonna which are the best examples of the acute
miasm are given in Volume II of the Synthetic Repertory under "Sudden
Manifestations". And indeed we do find in these drugs a sudden, rapid pulse,
flushed face, etc.

The features of the acute personality are that the patient perceives the situation
to be one of acute threat and therefore reacts instinctively, sharply and intensely.
The situation is overwhelming and there is a state of alarm; the feelings about
one's own self are not in the forefront here. Further, the acute personality, has
compensated and uncompensated phases, and although these are present in the
other miasms as well, they are especially marked in the acute. In general, acute
personalities are excited, easily excitable and hyperactive - they react as though
to a threat. But when in a chronic situation, these features are heavily
compensated for, and they become uncompensated only under stressful
conditions. This may seem to appear like mood swings, but when examined
closely, they are actually manifestations of the compensated phase going into the
uncompensated phase. The dreams, too, are full of excitement and represent
acute, threatening situations. Many of these persons could go into a contra-
phobic behaviour, which means they do exactly the opposite in their life to what
they fear. For example a Stramonium personality may have many pet dogs,
whereas Stramonium is normally known to have a fear of dogs. They can also
have manic reactions, like excessively loud laughter and abnormal bursts of
courage and cheerfulness. There may also be sudden, impulsive violence as in
the syphilitic personality, but without the counterpart of chronic, deep seated
pessimism. In general, they function at a very high voltage. Physical
manifestations of the acute miasm are in the form of sudden and violent
reactions, exacerbations and threatening conditions that cause panic in the mind
of the patient and those around him. The state of the mind and body being
related, the delusion is expressed at both levels the mental and the physical. This
can be seen in the example of Aconitum. Aconitum has the feeling that
something sudden will happen leading to his death. Mentally this is seen as fear
of death, anxiety and restlessness, etc. In the physical sphere, we find racing
pulse, palpitation, flushing of face alternating with paleness, etc. The acute
miasm usually does not cause chronic structural pathology. It can however
aggravate structural pathology, especially when the tendency (genetic
predisposition) to such a pathology is quite strong in the patient. The acute
miasm will be found more in babies and children, because this is the time when
threatening situations from the outside are more

often found. The reaction of the acute miasm is an innocent, instinctive, childlike
reaction. Therefore even when the acute miasm is found in adults, there is a
certain childishness in the response. Such a response would help one recognize
this miasm.

The Cancer Miasm The cancer miasm lies between the sycotic and the syphilitic.
It develops when the sycotic (with the feeling of a fixed weakness) is subjected to
extreme stress, wherein he is expected to perform exceedingly well. There is a
feeling of weakness within, yet there is the need to perform very well and live up
to expectations. The main feeling of this miasm is therefore that he is expected to
perform exceedingly well, which he feels incapable of doing. So, the demand has
been put upon him, and although he would like to cover up his imagined
weakness and feeling of incapacity, he has to put in everything he has and much
more in a really intense effort to survive. It is a superhuman effort, he stretches
himself beyond the limits of his capacity. It is a continuous and prolonged
struggle which seems to have no end. His survival depends upon it, for failure
would mean death and destruction. In the pathology of cancer we see the sycotic
element of building up as in new growths, with fixity and at the same time
breakdown and destruction, as in syphilis. The main remedies of the cancer
miasm are Carcinosinum and Nitricum acidum. The clinical picture of
Carcinosinum is of a person who is a model of perfection - one with whom it
would be difficult to find fault. We often have a history of high expectations on the
part of the parents and a high level of performance on the part of the subject to
live up to them. On the one hand we have the rubrics: "Timidity", "Dwarfishness"
and "Ailments from anticipation", and on the other "Fastidiousness", "Obstinate",
"Suicidal" and "Dreams of murder". These symptoms show the sycotic and
syphilitic dimensions, as well as the need to perform. The patient is constantly
striving to be perfect and in doing so stretches himself beyond the limits of his
capacity. There is no rest or freedom from tension.

MIASMS Sankaran SANKARAN VIEW OF MIASMS MIASMS In a large number
of chronic diseases, Hahnemann found that the disease continued to progress in
spite of the administration of the carefully selected homoeopathic remedy.
Hahnemann was occupied with finding the solution to this problem, and at length,
he discovered that chronic diseases nearly always had a pattern that could be
related to Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis - the chronic miasms. He postulated that
the chronic diseases resulted from badly suppressed scabies (itch), gonorrhoea
and syphilis respectively. He then indicated the drugs likely to be most useful in
treating such cases - the anti-miasmatics. This new understanding enabled
Hahnemann to succeed where he had failed in the past. Having studied the
theory of miasms, and understanding it in the light of my own concept of disease
as a delusion, my practice of Homoeopathy has become much simpler, and my
prescribing more certain. As I understand it, disease is a false perception of
reality... a delusion. It seems as if this false perception has its root in either an
actual situation from the patient's own life, or in a situation of a parent or
ancestor. As long as the situation did exist, the patient's reaction was justified.
However the impact of the earlier situation is such that even when faced with
another situation, the patient's reaction is as though he even were still in the
previous situation. This is his delusion. Relating this idea to the theory of miasms,
it became clear that the classification of diseases must be a classification of
delusions. And as drugs are nothing but artificial diseases, the classification is
both a disease-state and a drug-state classification. The symptoms of the
disease (or drug) represent the survival mechanism called for in the original
situation. But the person feels that in order to survive, he must always respond
as if in the original situation. The original situation or the patient's (false)
perception of reality differs according to the miasm of the patient. Therefore to
recognize the miasm, one has to determine how reality is perceived by the
patient. The original situation of each remedy would demand an acute, psoric,
sycotic or syphilitic reaction predominantly.

This miasmatic classification of disease, based on the concept of disease as a

delusion, is not restricted to the mental state alone. We know that the mind and
the body work harmoniously as a unit, and the disturbance is uniformly
expressed in both spheres. The state of the mind and body are always related,
the delusion belongs to the person as a whole and is reflected at both levels. The
mental state, the physical state and the characteristic features of the pathology
together represent the totality. And before searching for a remedy in a particular
case, one must settle upon the miasm. The miasm of the remedy and the miasm
of the disease have to be matched. In order to find out if there was a particular
theme to each miasm, I studied some drugs generally accepted as belonging to
that miasm, attempting to find a common theme amongst them, if there was one.
I used Hahnemann's classification of diseases and drugs.

Acute: Aconitum, Belladonna, Stramonium Chronic: Psora: Sulphur, Psorinum

Sycosis: Thuja, Medorrhinum Syphilis: Mercurius, Syphilinum In studying the
miasms with the help of different remedies, I came to understand that the nosode
represents the centrepoint of the miasm. The nosode is the product of tissue that
is fully under the influence of the infectious disease. It represents these defeated
tissue qualities of the infection and infectious process. For example a study of
Psorinum will show the very character of Psora, likewise with Medorrhinum and
Syphilinum. The problem of the nosode is non-specific and of an undifferentiated
character, whereas with other remedies belonging to the same miasm it becomes
differentiated and specific. My conclusions about the themes of the various
miasms which follow, are a result of a detailed study of the various remedies in
relation to the miasms, as well as my own clinical understanding of drugs and
patients. Further, I have added other miasms that would lie between the already
known miasms listed above. One of these is the tubercular miasm, on which
there is abundant literature available. The other

additions are my own, having been discovered and verified by me in my practice.

===================================================== ========
SANKARAN: -

APPLICATION OF THE THEORY OF MIASMS In Understanding the Cases The

miasm has to be settled upon before searching for the remedy; the drug must
match the pace and nature of the disease. One has to ask the question: "What is
the element in the case?" Is it: • threatening (acute miasm), • a struggle (psora), •
a fixed, irremediable weakness within the self (sycosis), or • a destruction
(syphilis). In Understanding and Differentiating Remedy States For example
Hyoscyamus (acute) versus Lachesis (syco-syphilitic). The state of Hyoscyamus
is that of a man whose delusion is that his wife is trying to poison him; someone
is trying to hurt and injure him, someone persecutes him. So he loses control of
himself and starts behaving foolishly and ridiculously. He is always excited and
presents an instinctive, instantaneous reaction. Lachesis is the situation of a
menopausal woman whose husband has a young girlfriend. She has a feeling of
weakness within herself. She is competing with someone better and her survival
depends on winning. She develops egotism, always talks about herself, becomes
sarcastic (putting others down) and deceitful (putting herself up). In
Understanding and Using the Repertory Many rubrics contain remedies of all
different miasms, and therefore each rubric has to be examined thoroughly as to
where it originates and what it represents, what is its pace, quality and underlying
element. For example let us take the rubric "Kill, impulse to". Behind, this rubric
had the delusion that someone is pursuing the patient. The acute miasm
personality would react in an instinctive way. The psoric state will

struggle. The sycotic will try and hide. The syphilitic remedies will collapse or hit
back. In the Selection of the Remedy The most characteristic symptoms in a
case will give an indication of the predominant and other miasms present. It is all
important to match the miasm present in the case in the selection of a similimum.

MIASMS Classification Remedies

=============================================== =======
SUMMARY OF CURRENT MIASM CLASSIFICATION WITH MAIN
CHARACTERISTICS (The refinement and expansion of miasmatic classification
has continued since 1828, identifying additional natural miasms, which tend to be
expressed in terms of their relation to other miasms via symptomology and
“essence” of the miasm. Much of the most recent classification work has been
done by Rajan Sankaran. Additional miasms have been created by the
suppressive practices of vaccination and allopathic medicinal measures, which
generally do not remove the disease. Some call these “Drug Miasms”. As well,
poisonings by chemical and technological influences create miasmatic damage
to the genome which is passed down; examples-the “nuclear” miasm or the
“petrochemical” miasm. So the miasms have proliferated. However, since
sickness does not manifest without susceptibility, the original “natural” miasms
tend to be the most important, and tend to determine even susceptibility of the
compromised organism to various influences, including those of medicine and
industry.

It is important to recognize that most of this information, while being empirically

derived, is theory. •PSORA Fear; Hyperfunction (ex-allergy) Nosode: Psorinum

THE PSORIC MIASM The situation of the psoric miasm is a difficult one, where
the patient has to struggle in order to succeed. The delusion in Psora has two
components: • Stress from outside, and • Anxiety from doubt about his own
ability/capability to deal with the stress. He is hopeful, and failure does not mean
the end of the world. Let us take for example Sulphur, the "King of Anti-Psoric
Remedies". One finds the following rubrics: • Delusion, is getting thin. • Delusion,
disgraced. • Fear, of poverty. The reaction is seen in the following: • Talks of
business.

• Imagines himself a great man; though ignorant, despises literary men and
education. We find here a struggle with ego and money. The feeling is that the
person is losing something, and he must struggle in order to get it back. These
conclusions are corroborated by the central features of scabies itself. In scabies,
there is a lot of itching, a constant struggle, with extreme discomfort, but it is not
life-threatening, not hopeless. The psoric personality is usually active and
expressive. The patient generally has highs and lows. The struggle is like a tug-
of-war with the outside world - when the balance is on his side, he feels high, but
when the balance is on the other side, he feels low. It is an active struggle, and it
becomes more apparent during times of stress. At the same time, there is a lack
of confidence in facing the situation, a feeling that he won't be able to do it. This
causes a constant anxiety, which becomes apparent when he is actually faced
with the situation (active psora). It is also present when he is not faced with the
situation; it is then a kind of anticipatory anxiety, and it is not so distressing
(latent psora). This causes a kind of internal restlessness, insecurity,
dissatisfaction, sensitivity and anxiety about the future. However, there is always
hope, now matter how bad the situation. The psoric person is usually expressive
during case-taking. He is keen of mind, observant and describes his symptoms
well. He has many and varied dreams which reflect his anxiety about not being
able to cope with a situation, and the struggle to cope. Since the delusion
belongs to the whole, the symptoms of the mind and body are common, and in its
physical aspect the psoric miasm will show the same highs and lows we see in
the mind. It will demonstrate a hypersensitivity to physical factors and will
manifest the same struggle and activity. There is a reaction to one's
surroundings, a response to environmental stimuli. For example light, noise,
odours, etc., affect the psoric person and cause in him functional disturbances,
e.g. headache, nausea, discomfort, etc. These functional disturbances can be
seen at various levels, in the various systems, and they will be accompanied by a
plethora of modalities. Accompanying this will also be seen a plethora of
generalities, and psora has the maximum number of cravings and aversions.
Pathological changes, whenever present, are usually reversible, although this is
not invariable.

The psoric miasm is usually predominant in the years where one has to stand on
one's own feet and face the world - the years of youth and adolescence, which is
usually the period of struggle.

Syphilitic Remedies: Mercurius, Aurum, Syphilinum Keyword: BREAKING

Central: Situation is delusion beyond repair: so change or destroy. Reaction to
stress: Destruction of self or stressor. Form of reaction: DESTRUCTION THE
SYPHILITIC MIASM The delusion of syphilitic remedies is that they are faced
with a situation that is beyond salvage, leading to complete hopelessness and
despair. The response to this feeling is a drastic do-or-die attempt to change
either oneself or the environment, a violent process - a last ditch attempt. For
example Mercurius, one of the most syphilitic remedies in the book, has the
delusion that he is surrounded by enemies. He is therefore, very suspicious and
has suicidal and homicidal impulses against anyone who contradicts him.
Syphilitic personalities have a strongly pessimistic view of life. They believe that it
is not possible to modify what has already gone wrong; it has to be radically
changed or destroyed. With this internal feeling, they react impulsively and
violently to any situation - be it insult, criticism or domination. There is a chronic,
deep-seated pessimism with occasional sudden violence directed at himself or
others - a mercurial temper. The syphilitic person also has very rigid ideas, not
only about himself (as in the sycotic personality) but also about the situation. He
is usually aggravated by contradiction, is dictatorial, and not amenable to
change, unlike the psoric personality who is impressionable. The syphilitic
response occurs when one is faced with a superhuman task - one where no man
can succeed. Syphilis itself is a chronic desperate struggle. It is an infection
where the body destroys itself in an attempt to survive by producing ulceration,
caries, gangrene, etc. It is a violent effort in a hopeless situation. The syphilitic
process is a slow and degenerative process which has been taking place over a
long time. The syphilic feeling therefore is: "The situation is desperate and
hopeless and I can't cope".
There must be change. The mind and the body move towards destruction. The
age of syphilis is that of senescence. There is no hope now, the struggle is over.
Even coping with the self is not possible, and the only way out is death and
destruction. -

Sycotic Remedies: Thuja, Medorrhinum Keyword: BUILDING (masking) Central:

Weakness in self which he has to cover up, to mask, to keep secret. Reaction to
stress: Fixed ideas leading to compulsions and compulsive actions out of a
feeling of inner weakness. Form of reaction: COVER UP THE SYCOTIC MIASM
The feeling of sycotic remedies is: "I am incapable of handling this situation.
Something is wrong with me". It is a the feeling of a fixed, irremediable weakness
within oneself. With this admission, there is an attempt to cope with it by covering
it up, and hiding it from others by egotism, secrecy and compulsive acts. The
feeling probably arises after having struggled without success for sometime.
Thus we say that psora is the mother of sycosis. To understand the feeling of
sycosis, let us take the example of Thuja. Thuja has: • Delusion, he is made of
glass.

• Delusion, he is thin. • Delusion, his body is fragile. He therefore develops fixed

ideas, will not be touched or approached, becomes secretive, fanatical, etc.
Gonorrhoea itself shows a chronic, steady, fixed defence in the form of gleet.
There is no likelihood of complete recovery, but the situation is not a desperate
one. It is in fact a fixed state. The sycotic personality is very secretive. The
patient is always trying to hide his weakness and is constantly tense. These
constant efforts to cover up his weakness make even everyday life stressful. He
never hopes to get rid of this weakness; all he wants to do is somehow to cover it
up. Consequently he is more closed during the interview. The sycotic person has
fixed habits and traits, and acts in particular ways; even his dreams are specific.
The sycotic individual is less active and more reserved than the psoric. Sycotic
personalities and drugs have this feeling of inadequacy, and the consequent
efforts to cover up the same on the physical sphere as well. The mind and body,
both overact, to cover up this imagined weakness. Since, unlike psora, one is
trying to cope with the body's own weakness rather than with any stress from
outside, sycosis is not usually affected by external factors. The aggravating
factors will be more specific and there will not be the plethora of modalities nor
the accompanying generalities as is seen in psora. The reaction is in fact
concentrated at specific sites and organ systems, tending to cause chronic, slow
troubles usually with a tendency to overreaction in that particular sphere. The
reaction will be the same no matter what the stimulus, or even when there is no
stimulus. Thus we see overgrowths, hyper-immune responses, fixed and steady
disease states like asthma, and structural pathology. The disease usually has an
insidious onset and its course is steady. The accompanying modalities and
generalities like cravings and aversions are very specific and therefore limited in
number. There is a tendency for the discharges to leave indelible stains. The
nosode Medorrhinum represents the centre-point of the sycotic miasm. The
feeling of incapacity and the fear of being exposed is represented in
Medorrhinum by his fears and anxieties. He is always anticipating that something
bad will happen. He has an anxiety of conscience, as if guilty of a crime. He has
a fear that someone was behind him. On the physical plane, this inner anxiety
and restlessness is

manifest by signs such as restlessness of the feet, constant nail-biting and the
need to wash his hands repeatedly. But in order to cover up this feeling of
incapacity, Medorrhinum may appear egoistic, rude, critical, extravagant and can
act as if nothing really bothers or affects him. He is unwilling to take up
responsibilities, because he feels that he is unable to fulfill them, his weakness
will be exposed. The sycotic miasm will be seen predominantly around middle
age when the person, having struggled a long time, sees many defects within
himself, and tries to cover them up. This is the time when ideas become rigid,
freedom restricted, and the person is content to cope rather than to struggle.

MIASMS IN BETWEEN SYCOSIS AND SYPHILIS The Tubercular Miasm There

is in homoeopathic literature, abundant material on the tubercular miasm as well
(apart from the classical trio of psora, sycosis and syphilis). The main feeling in
the tubercular miasm is a sense of oppression. It is a feeling that one's weakness
is being exploited. The reaction is violent, almost tending towards syphilis. The
tubercular miasm can be understood through Drosera. The theme of Drosera is
one of being stabbed in the back, of being deceived by one's own friends:
"Imagines being deceived by spiteful, envious people" (Phatak's Materia Medica).
At the same time there is a great deal of dependence of the patient on his
friends. He feels his weakness

is being taken advantage of. He feels harassed and let down by his own friends,
and reacts to this oppression violently. The cough also is described as
"harassing" by Phatak and the slightest irritation causes violent bouts of cough
excited by a tickling sensation in the throat. Drosera also has suicidal
inclinations. Tuberculosis is one of the most widespread infections known to
mankind accounting for much morbidity and mortality. In its pathology we see
destruction of tissues and lasting disability in the form of restricted lung space
due to fibrosis. There is a great need to take a deep breath: "Oppression of the
chest", "Suffocation". We have the sycotic aspect wherein the person lives for the
rest of his life with a fixed weakness, and very often has tendencies to recurrent
colds and other respiratory affections. On the other hand, tuberculosis is known
to have violent progressive features which are almost totally hopeless without
medical intervention: for example TB meningitis, miliary TB, etc. -

THE HYDROPHOBIC MIASM (Lou Klein) This miasm has some resonance with
the myth of the werewolf and has connection with dogs/wolves/canines and the
“howling at the moon” archetype. The moon controls movement of the physical
water on the earth. .Lyssin (Hydrophobinum) is the typical remedy of the this
miasm. It is made from the sputum of a rabid dog. The etiology of the disease, or
the triggering of the miasm, can be from a dog bite, the rabies vaccine, a strong
miasmatic inheritance, or violent electrocution. Rabies is on the increase as is
the use of the vaccine. Bites from violent cats will give Rabies-like symptoms.
Around the time of Pasteur, there are recordings of many people being treated
for Rabies. The acute phase of the disease includes: Fear of Water Cannot
swallow water Wounds heal too quickly Death from suffocation and paralysis

Thus, Lyssin and the miasm in general may have the sensation of suffocation or
sensation of choking, esp. when drinking water. Lyssin and Stramonium remove
the effects of the bites of rabid dogs. According to Boericke, rabies can be
antidoted acutely and after Rabies vaccine by Lachesis. The bites of violent cats:
consider Acetic acid. Lyssin is well represented in the repertory compared to its
frequency of use. It has a primary food craving for chocolate, salty things, and
strange things during pregnancy. The typical remedies of the hydrophobic miasm
are Lyssin, Stramonium, Hyoscyamus, and Belladonna. The name of the miasm
relates to the fear of water present in persons afflicted with the disease or miasm.
This fear also extends to sparkling reflection and mirrors. This miasm, according
to Klein, is associated with situations where consistent abuse has occurred, such
as when someone has been insulted continuously by those on whom they are
dependent. This leads to a forsaken feeling.

to •In the case of the hypersexual state, the organs of water are affected. For
example, the person must urinate on hearing running or “slurping” water.

to •And water is a deep unconscious element which triggers animalistic

tendencies in the person. Person may demonstrate animalistic behavior such as

The Leprous Miasm The leprous miasm has features to indicate that it is almost
exactly between the tubercular and syphilitic miasms. The main feeling in the
leprous miasm is one of intense oppression and an intense hopelessness, with
an intense desire for change. In its pathology, leprosy is of three distinct types.
Tuberculoid leprosy though progressive, has a better prognosis than the other
types - there is hope. Lepromatous leprosy on the other hand, is rapidly
progressive and destructive, resembling syphilis. The intermediate type lies
between these two. According to me the drug which best represents the leprous
miasm is Secale cornutum In his Repertory, under the rubric "Skin, eruptions,
leprosy", Kent gives Secale and Sulphur in bold types. The symptoms we find in
the leprosy patient are loathing for self, ashamed, abandoned (forsaken), hatred
and despised. Lepers are treated worse than animals and are often the objects of
loathing. It is an almost hopeless situation. In Secale we find "Violent, fight, wants
to", "Forsakes his relatives" and "Becomes shameless". It is known for its
destructive pathologies, especially gangrene which would be one of the
prominent pathologies of the leprous miasm. This miasm requires much deeper
investigation and I haven't been able to understand it fully as yet.

THE RINGWORM MIASM I had some difficulty in finding a miasm in between

psora and sycosis. It would have to have both, the characteristics of psora i.e.
the struggle with anxiety about success, as well as sycosis i.e. the fixity resulting
from a feeling of inadequacy within oneself. I was searching for an infection
which comes up suddenly with an intense struggle which is not life threatening,
but at other times is quiet and fixed. After much thinking and reading, I got the
idea that this infection was none other than Ringworm. The latter is characterized
by periods when it is just another skin lesion and at times when it itches terribly
like scabies, compelling scratching. Thus, there are both, the resigned
acceptance as well as the element of struggle. In order to confirm this idea, I
conducted a proving of Ringworm. For the details of the proving, I refer the
reader to my book "The Substance of Homoeopathy". The theme of the miasm
was reflected in the dreams of the provers. Most of the dreams had the feeling of
trying to do something. On the one hand there were periods of trying with a
feeling of hope. At other times there was resignation and acceptance of the
situation, only to be followed by another trial. Thus, there was an alternation
between struggling and giving up in the dreams of most provers. The situation of
the ringworm miasm seems to be one that is on the borderline of the patient's
capacity, and while not threatening, it is good for him to succeed. So he tries
periodically but each time he fails, he gives up and accepts it. This reminds me of
the struggle of obese people trying to lose weight. There are periods of
struggling, jogging, walking, dieting, followed by periods of acceptance and
calories. The main remedies for the miasm are Calcarea sulphurica and Calcarea
silicata. Calcarea sulphurica has periods when the person sits and meditates
over imaginary misfortune (nothing can be done), and at times when he is
"Quarrelsome", "Hasty", "Hurried", etc., he feels he is not appreciated and so
tries to win appreciation. When he fails, he just sits and broods over his
misfortune. Calcarea silicata has "Anxiety about health" and "Utterly
ambitionless" on one hand, while on the other it has "Hurried", "Impatient" and
"Anticipatory anxiety". The patient feels incapable of performing and gives poor
health as an excuse for not being able to perform, but at other times he somehow
tries to live up to the expectations.

MALARIAL MIASM A miasm between the acute and sycotic should have an
acute feeling of threat that comes up intermittently in phases between which
there is a chronic, underlying fixed feeling of being deficient. The idea that came
to me immediately was the malarial miasm. Malaria is a very common infection; it
has periods of relative dormancy, intermitted with sudden, acute attacks of fever
with chills followed again by a quiet phase. The main remedy of the malarial
miasm is China. The main feeling of this miasm and of China is one of
persecution. China has two components - the acute threat, with its fear of dogs,
etc., on the one hand, and on the other, it has fixed ideas and the chronic,
tormented, hindered, persecuted feelings, which give rise to theorizing and
planning without any hope of executing these plans. This remedy has severe
spasmodic colics and periods of quiescence. Phatak describes the pains as
atrocious. It is as though atrocities are being committed on him - akin to
persecution.

THE SUBACUTE/TYPHOID MIASM I concluded that a miasm between the acute

and the psoric miasms had to be typhoid. Typhoid has a prolonged prodrome
with a feeling of malaise, days before the temperature rises significantly. The
fever is continuous, rises higher each day, and can become life threatening.
Typhoid has both the acute features as well as the slowness. It is an intense
struggle in which there is an acute threat from outside - the response is not just
instinctive, but also has the component of struggle. The feeling is that of a critical
situation which, if handled properly for a critical period, will end in total recovery.
One of the main drugs of the typhoid miasm is Bryonia. Bryonia has "Fear of
Poverty" and a struggle for wealth. It has "Delirium, talks of business", which
gives an indication as to how critical and acute the situation is, and how intensely
the patient is struggling against it. Bryonia ia also listed under "Fear of starving". -

REACTION (instinctive) Central: Threat is too strong. Reaction to stress:
Instinctive reaction, with no sense of fault in oneself., Fault is entirely on the side
of stressor. Form of reaction: Reflex - ACTION THE ACUTE MIASM In the drugs
of the acute miasm, there is the feeling that: "There is a strong threat from the
outside world". The reaction to this threat is strong, instinctive and reflex. For
example Stramonium has "Delusion, alone in the wilderness". The reaction is
seen in the following symptoms: "Desire for light and company" and "Children
wake up screaming, recognize no one, and cling to those nearby". The central
features of the acute disease itself correspond to the feeling of threat and the
strong, almost immediate reaction. The acute disease has a sudden onset, rapid
progress and a swift termination; it ends either with death or recovery. It will be
noticed that Aconitum and Belladonna which are the best examples of the acute
miasm are given in Volume II of the Synthetic Repertory under "Sudden
Manifestations". And indeed we do find in these drugs a sudden, rapid pulse,
flushed face, etc.

The features of the acute personality are that the patient perceives the situation
to be one of acute threat and therefore reacts instinctively, sharply and intensely.
The situation is overwhelming and there is a state of alarm; the feelings about
one's own self are not in the forefront here. Further, the acute personality, has
compensated and uncompensated phases, and although these are present in the
other miasms as well, they are especially marked in the acute. In general, acute
personalities are excited, easily excitable and hyperactive - they react as though
to a threat. But when in a chronic situation, these features are heavily
compensated for, and they become uncompensated only under stressful
conditions. This may seem to appear like mood swings, but when examined
closely, they are actually manifestations of the compensated phase going into the
uncompensated phase. The dreams, too, are full of excitement and represent
acute, threatening situations. Many of these persons could go into a contra-
phobic behaviour, which means they do exactly the opposite in their life to what
they fear. For example a Stramonium personality may have many pet dogs,
whereas Stramonium is normally known to have a fear of dogs. They can also
have manic reactions, like excessively loud laughter and abnormal bursts of
courage and cheerfulness. There may also be sudden, impulsive violence as in
the syphilitic personality, but without the counterpart of chronic, deep seated
pessimism. In general, they function at a very high voltage. Physical
manifestations of the acute miasm are in the form of sudden and violent
reactions, exacerbations and threatening conditions that cause panic in the mind
of the patient and those around him. The state of the mind and body being
related, the delusion is expressed at both levels the mental and the physical. This
can be seen in the example of Aconitum. Aconitum has the feeling that
something sudden will happen leading to his death. Mentally this is seen as fear
of death, anxiety and restlessness, etc. In the physical sphere, we find racing
pulse, palpitation, flushing of face alternating with paleness, etc. The acute
miasm usually does not cause chronic structural pathology. It can however
aggravate structural pathology, especially when the tendency (genetic
predisposition) to such a pathology is quite strong in the patient. The acute
miasm will be found more in babies and children, because this is the time when
threatening situations from the outside are more
often found. The reaction of the acute miasm is an innocent, instinctive, childlike
reaction. Therefore even when the acute miasm is found in adults, there is a
certain childishness in the response. Such a response would help one recognize
this miasm.

The Cancer Miasm The cancer miasm lies between the sycotic and the syphilitic.
It develops when the sycotic (with the feeling of a fixed weakness) is subjected to
extreme stress, wherein he is expected to perform exceedingly well. There is a
feeling of weakness within, yet there is the need to perform very well and live up
to expectations. The main feeling of this miasm is therefore that he is expected to
perform exceedingly well, which he feels incapable of doing. So, the demand has
been put upon him, and although he would like to cover up his imagined
weakness and feeling of incapacity, he has to put in everything he has and much
more in a really intense effort to survive. It is a superhuman effort, he stretches
himself beyond the limits of his capacity. It is a continuous and prolonged
struggle which seems to have no end. His survival depends upon it, for failure
would mean death and destruction. In the pathology of cancer we see the sycotic
element of building up as in new growths, with fixity and at the same time
breakdown and destruction, as in syphilis. The main remedies of the cancer
miasm are Carcinosinum and Nitricum acidum. The clinical picture of
Carcinosinum is of a person who is a model of perfection - one with whom it
would be difficult to find fault. We often have a history of high expectations on the
part of the parents and a high level of performance on the part of the subject to
live up to them. On the one hand we have the rubrics: "Timidity", "Dwarfishness"
and "Ailments from anticipation", and on the other "Fastidiousness", "Obstinate",
"Suicidal" and "Dreams of murder". These symptoms show the sycotic and
syphilitic dimensions, as well as the need to perform. The patient is constantly
striving to be perfect and in doing so stretches himself beyond the limits of his
capacity. There is no rest or freedom from tension.
