suppressed gonorrhea _{Page 2 of 6}

'Dig out any case of Hahnemann where a remedy was selected on a miasm. It was always on the presenting symptoms.'

The only remedies that Hahnemann ever mentioned for gonorrhea were Thuja. and Nit-Ac. The only remedy he ever mentioned for Syph. was Merc. He did have many anti-psorics.

My position is exactly as Kent describes here. You will note that Kent clearly identifies Arnica as a not-psoric remedy.




Kent:
http://www.homeoint.org/books3/kentlect/lect18.htm

'Hahnemann says that before he began that collection of symptoms he was struck somewhat with wonder that Nux Vomica and Ignatia and such short acting medicines were able to cure only a single manifestation of disease, a group of symptoms, or they would relieve for a time and then the symptoms would come back, although he had followed up the treatment to the best of his knowledge.

At the end of a case, he could discover that there had been a continuous progress in spite of the fact that he had relieved his patient of suffering a good many times.

So it is, while acute acting remedies are used, and you will use them if you do not know the psoric doctrine.

The short acting medicines are the ones that contain the counterparts of the acute, manifestations of psora, and hence when these acute manifestations appear in groups of symptoms you will naturally select acute remedies, and you will palliate them from time to time, but at the end of years you will look upon every individual case, and will notice that the case has been steadily progressing.

You will find that you have not shuck at the root of the trouble, that there is an underlying something present and prevailing and that the disease is steadily growing worse.

Hahnemann saw this and it was a mystery to him because he had acquired a perfect mastery over the acute diseases with the acute remedies.

Such apsorics had been at this time very well proved, Belladonna, Aconite, Bryonia, Arnica, China, Nux Vomica, etc., etc., and these had been found to be perfectly suitable for the acute manifestations of psora and for the acute miasms.

Hahnemann had not yet learned that the acute miasms were utterly and strictly acute miasms, and could not, therefore, compare acute miasms with chronic miasms, or vice versa.

He had not seen them yet as miasms.

One will not understand the acute miasms clearly until able to compare them with chronic miasms.

They side up one with another, and make it wonderfully manifest.

The acute miasms come on either with sufficient violence to cause death to patients, or with less violence, wherein there is a period of progress and a tendency to recover.

They cannot be prolonged in the patient, and must subside.'

I've been trying to get people talking about the miasms.

Let's keep this discussion about gardenerd's case.

Kent brought about many changes to Hahnemann's teachings. The major one being giving a completely different meaning to the theory of Miasms. He coloured Hahnemann's teachings in his own religious ideology and developed a new School.

Like you mentioned, your line is just waht Kent said. In my opinion, what Kent said was wrong in light of what Hahnemann said. Any unbiased person will see the anti-miasmatic properties of Arnica in its pathogenesis.

To say that Hahnemann had not recognized Acute miasms is a fallacy of the highest order. This term has been repeatedly used both in the Organon and the Chronic diseases.

The unfortunate part about Homeopathy today is that everybody seems to be reading everything except the Organon and the CD.

Anyways, since you are such a follower of Kent, it is quite evident that our thought will not coincide anywhere.

Keep Smiling.

Aude sapere...

Sorry for the digression. This is decidedly my last post on this thread. Regards your posts, I saw them but refrained from commenting because the comments there are as far away from the conception of miasms as propounded by Hahnemann as it can be.

Best wishes and warm regards,
Niel

'Kent brought about many changes to Hahnemann's teachings. The major one being giving a completely different meaning to the theory of Miasms. He coloured Hahnemann's teachings in his own religious ideology and developed a new School.'

I don't think Kent gave a 'completely different meaning to the theory of Miasms.' I think Kent was faithful to Hahnemann's understanding of the miasms.

I've read the Organon and CD many, many times, and the miasmatic theory is a central part of homeopathy.

I think we've got much to agree on.

May be we can take it on a separate thread. Can you justify how Kent was faithful to Hahnemann's understanding on Miasms. Since you have read the Organon and CD so many times, you should be able to help us? I have always found their ideas on Miasms to be like two opposite poles.

Also, please let us know why Kent appears confused between Miasms, Constitutions and Diathesis.

'Can you justify how Kent was faithful to Hahnemann's understanding on Miasms.'

'Also, please let us know why Kent appears confused between Miasms, Constitutions and Diathesis.'

You'll have to explain what exactly you are referring to by this...


Let's continue discussion of the miasms and anti-psoric and anti-miasmatic medicines here...
http://abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/253993/

Don't think there is any need for further discussion if you could not understand this.

Anyone well versed with CD would know what I am talking about.

Best wishes,
Niel

An interesting discussion seems to be unfolding on HWC somewhat relevant to this topic. Worthy to keep an eye on:

http://www.homeopathyworldcommunity.com/forum/topics/was-ken...

Regards,
Niel

David Little has a great discussion of Kent's use of the word constitutions, and it's towards the beginning of this article.
http://simillimum.com/education/little-library/constitution-....

I have read all of Little...he clearly acknowledges how Kent differed from Hahnemann. Rather than quoting others, it would be great if you could discuss about your understanding. If you have to quote, quote from the Organon and the CD and you will know that most of what Kent says will not fit into the realm of what Hahnemann taught.

Also, since you are asking me to go to Little and Kent all the time, I would request you to go through the following:

http://hpathy.com/homeopathy-papers/facts-and-theories-%E2%8...

It give a fine view of what Hahnemannian homeopathy is and deals with everything from the fallacy of Constitutions (Kentian) to the use of miasms.

Let's bring this over here for reference!

Thankyou for your response,
Here is my attempt to answer the questionnaire on 12/22/2010

1) It has been 38 yrs since I first had gonnorhea and was 'treated' so the symptoms now are more complicated, but not severe- I have constant nasal catarrh in root of nose and dropping into back of throat.-thick and slightly yellow or greenish-always trying to hawk up. My lips, eyes and skin are dry; I have a strong tendency to worry and sadness; constipation; gum disease; since pregnancy with 5 child 21 yrs ago I have had a wart on the inside of my left little finger and one on the inside of my left thigh and a few on my chest that are barely visible-the one on my finger is red and can get irritated; in the last 2 yrs I have developed a pilonatal cyst; I have reduced hearing in my tight ear and constant ringing in my ears; I have genital herpes and I believe genital warts

2)I think those are most of the problems that bother me, but I have had frequent colds in the last 2 yrs-often starting in my nose and I am stiff in the muscles and get sore back-but I am 58 and maybe that is to be expected.
At intervals I have trouble sleeping. I go to sleep easily at first, but if I wake up cannot go back to sleep often around 2 am. Sometimes it is from anxiety, but often the anxieties are about trivial things.

3) I feel anxious, despairing and shamed and sometimes hopeless that I caused my own disease and have passed it on to my children, but I also feel strongly determined to find a cure in homeopathy even if I have to study for years myself to find it. I want to feel healthy

4)When I am at my worst? Probably headache and thick catarrh, tired and sleepless and full because of constipation. I get sores on my tongue-little bumps on tip and around edges, and used to get more sores in my mouth. I think just all symptoms worse and with anxiety-which makes me want to be alone and irritable with those around me

5) Because it was so many years ago that I first contracted gonorrhea it is hard for me to place a beginning. I think it has been a gradual worsening over the years. I have been fairly healthy because of careful diet and discipline. In the past I was unhealthy-36 yrs ago with frequent yeast infections which I did have treated allopathically-the last time 17 yrs ago.

6) evenings because I am tired and in the middle of the night, sometimes after breakfast.

7)stress always makes me worse-I love hot baths, walking and exercise, always feel better outdoors in fresh air. Rubbing makes me feel better and pressure. I do not like tight clothes or scratchy clothes. I feel better while eating, but not always after eating. I feel good in hot shower and like to be warm usually though a hot stuffy room makes me feel horrible-weak and faint.

8)Before menopause I had very bad PMS and during menses-early part-did not feel good. Otherwise I can't think of external factors besides stress factors-crowds, pressure of much that needs done, expectations from others

9)Where I live is very rainy-Northwest washington-US so we do have alot of rain. I don't feel good when it is cold and damp, but warm and wet is good. I love clear warm days in the spring and feel wonderful, but very hot and humid is hard for me. I don't feel good when it is very cold and wet

10) I am irritable and I think impatient, I can get resentful when expectations are high. I feel the expectations (emotional) of others deeply and discouraged if I cannot meet them or someone is not happy with me as I am. I have deep concern and responsibility to others and worry about their needs and feelings. I feel I am easily depressed and discouraged-but always within me is the desire to go on and find the reason. I never despair for long. I want to please God and live a life that pleases Him. I used to be more of a debator-trying to convince others of my convictions, now I ma more patient and understanding of the process for others. I am very responisble-can be overly so. I am not lazy-but the opposite and tend to work too hard and feel I must always be productive and am happier when I am doing something

thunderstorms stimulate me I love them

about consolation-I like it when someone is sympathetic without being overly so-I don't like people making a big deal about things-but I feel better when someone is understanding and not trying to fix the problem or is just compassionate. I tend to hide my tears from anyone but my husband and put on a tough front-yet I do want to talk about problems with others-does that make sense. I just don't want to be fussed over and don't fuss over others. I guess I tend to internalize

my nose gets dry and I tend to pick at it if I think about it when I am not doing something else.

My thoughts and life revolve around my family and especially my husband -but I tend to be over sensitive with him and take things personally. I can get angry over small things-but am getting less so. I feel very loved by my huisband I worry over their difficulties and want to help and be involved even when I shouldn't. though I don't interfere and try to encourage. I tend to carry their worries and want to help if possible and allow it to affect my own worry-for instance if one of my children is in debt I want them out of debt and feel it is an extension of our lives.
Though they are very important to me I don't want to be with my adult children all of the time and love to be alone. In fact being alone is when I feel the best and most energetic. If relationships are strained I cannot just forget, but want to work through.

11 I don't know what my fears are-sometimes I worry about finances-but more about being unfaithful with them. I am not afraid of doing without. No repeated dreams. I don't dream every night-but that may be because I wake up before I have slept long

12 I love fresh foods-grains a vegetables especially and salads. I don't like processed foods and avoid eating them

13 I am very thirsty and drink alot of water

14) It varies. sometimes I am not hungry at all and my digestion seems slow. Other times I am ravenous. If I get hungry and don't eat I get weak and faint. I have high metabolism usually, but my digestion can be slow

15 I cannnot tolerate caffeine or very much sugar
I cannot eat potatoes without protein

16 I don't sweat very much at all. But if I get really hot or nervous it would be all over but not excessive

17 I struggle with constipation-every 2 wks or so I will have several large evacuations then go back to more hard and small-it varies sometimes pebbly, usually just smaller and harder rather than full and soft. I used to more often have very soft stools. I wake up and do not eat until I have stool. I drink several glasses of warm water. If I am not at home I have more trouble with constipation. I think much is mental then, because I am not in my own routine

18) I sleep heavy early and then after 2 sometimes not so light-or I will sleep heavy til 5:30 and then am awake. I drink water every time I wake up so I wake up again to go to the bathroom. Perhaps I would sleep better if I did not drink, but I am thirsty. I sleep on my left side curled up, but if I switch sides with my husband will sleep curled up on my right side. I like to go to bed by 9 or 10

19) Yes I don't have great desire, but my husband does and I am happy to enjoy with him.

20) I am different from others in my love to be alone, that being around many people exhausts me. I love to learn and study

21) 38 yrs ago I received treatment for the gonorrhea-but I don't know what it was. I have not taken any medication for 17 yrs but have used herbs. I don't remember anything from the medication. When I had yeast infections I was given antibiotics and believe it messed with my digestion. Its been along time. At one time a naturopath gave me melatonin for sleeping and it helped, but I stopped taking it. He also gave me something to boost my thyroid for only a few months and I did have more energy, but I did not continue

22) My father has high blood pressure. He had a rash when I was younger that he treated topically. My mother has low blood pressure-like me. they are 88 and 94 and she is on no medicine. He takes blood pressure meds, something to lower cholesterol and something for type 2 diabetes that he developed when he was 82. Otherwise my family is fairly healthy. I believe my one grandma died of heart disease in her 80'2. The women in my mothers family get dementia in their 80's, but not the men.

23) I am tall and have always been thin. My hair was very blond when I was young but since children is brown. I have little grey hair yet. I am small chested

24) I am past menopause, but when I had menses they were very regular and heavy with clots. The week before my period I was very emotional and felt a deep inner anxiety for no reason. The first day I would have back ache and my pelvic would feel engorged. Walking and warm baths helped.

hope this is sufficient. I have been reading and studying as much about homeopathy as I can in the last year and look forward to the process here and your discussions-they are very helpful. I believe that miasms are very important, but also it is difficult to treat. I want to learn.
I forgot to add that in my 40's I developed dark spots on my hands and that I have red moles on my abdomen and thighs and also many moles all over my torso from a child

Thank you so much

What are strong perfumes? Are pure organic essential oils strong perfumes or those perfumes with alcohol in them? What effects do strong perfumes have on homeopathic remedies? Essential oils are used for healing also. They can not be used at the same time?

Dear Gardenerd,

How are you doing today?

1. 'What potency of Avena Sativa Q?'

This is a Homoeopathic mother tincture (Q). It is also considered as low potency.

Avena Sativa Q suggested for you will have a selective action on your brain and nervous system. It will certainly help in influencing their nutritive function. This is the first step in treating SG cases that comes from skill and experience! There is no harm or any side effects, but, only to prepare you for the fight with your diseases.

2. 'I prefer medicinal solution, is that fine?'

Yes, indeed, this is the only way to cure your disease(s).

3.'It may take a while to obtain if I do not have it here.'

Please take your time! The ball is in your court.

4. 'I understand that it will take a while and that there will be changes and additional Qs.'

Your understanding is greatly appreciated. A comprehensive communication and timely actions will lead to cure in a timely manner.

5. 'do take cod liver oil. Also I drink herbal teas-is that OK?'

Yes, it will be OK.

You will be needing Thuja 200C soon, therefore, please go ahead and order.

Please never hesitate to ask any Q's.

We will have to work together to fight these serious diseases of your. I am confident that we will succeed! There is absolutely no worldly gain in this process.

A bundle of prayers for your excellent health and peaceful life.

Regards
Nawaz

Hi,

You are welcome! I don't know where are you at right now? But, in the U. S. one may order from rxhomeo?

Let's get Avena Sativa 1X instead, in tablets form rather than Q, at

http://www.rxhomeo.com/pharmacy/homeopathic.php?act=viewProd....

Thuja 30C will not work in your case. Yes, Thuja 200C is to deal with your state and symptoms.

I will give you the directions for dosage, please no room for assumptions.

Thanks for the additional information that will certainly help!

What is the color of your discharges?

Where are the pains and their severety?

Is there any blood coming from anywhere in your body?

Is there any itching or burning anywhere?

Please tell me in detail about your cyst?

We will work on your occasional abcess and congested nose soon!

Good Luck.

With more prayers.
