I found this on BDD the other day...
Understanding of Miasm in BDD
The miasmatic view of BDD can be understood in three ways-
1. According to predisposing factors.
2. According to pathology.
3. According to symptomatology.
According to predisposing factors AGE- The incidence of BDD is more in teenagers and adults showing sycotic nature of disease.
According to pathology- Research indicates that low level of serotonin plays important role in BDD. This indicates psoric background of the disease.
According to symptomatology As we know the progression of the disease and the progression of the miasm are always interlinked, so for better understanding of the development of miasm in BDD we should understand the onset and development of the symptoms presented in diseased state.
(A) The disease starts with excessive concern with a specific facial feature or body part creating
Constant checking reflection in mirrors, reflection doors and glasses and any other reflective materials.
Compulsive skin touching, especially to feel or measure the perceived defect.
Obsessive viewing of certain favorite celebrities, models, he or she wants to resemble.
Excessive grooming behaviors, combing hairs, plucking eyebrows, shaving etc.
These behaviors show the suspicious nature of the patient. The person is suspicious about her own body, to her surroundings etc. she even dare not trust herself so she keeps looking in mirror again and again or compulsive skin touching, especially to feel or measure the perceived defect.
At This level of suspiciousness and obsessive compulsions the disease is purely sycotic.
(B) This suspiciousness when turned upon others, leads to the worst form of Jealousy and person becomes jealous of her relatives, friends etc. This jealous nature is also sycotic.
(C) In the next run the patient develops a habit of excessive grooming, makeup in order to camouflage his perceived flaw. He may even run abut for unnecessary medical procedures. This hiding tendency again depicts a sycotic nature.
(D) In next stage severe anxiety about body is developed and this will be manifested by outward expressions. Due to dissatisfaction there is lack of concentration on certain things, which may lead to mental restlessness and lack of confidence.
Restlessness, dissatisfaction and loss of confidence are all sycotic feature.
(E) In the next course of disease fixed ideas and manias are developed, various abnormal sensations
e.g. Thinks poor he is; thinks body is made-up of wood, he is ugly etc. This develops an inferiority feeling; lack of honest thinking and lastly repenting over past events which may lead to suicidal impulse.
Fixed ideas and manias, inferiority feeling with suicidal impulse is also a sycotic feature.
(E) In the last stage, patient falls in to depression and long continued depressive phases may in some cases lead to commit suicide. At this stage the miasm changes itself in the more destructive form and becomes syphilitic.
In conclusion one can say that BDD is disease with predominately sycotic manifestation with psora in the background, but in the last stage it may turn to degenerative phase and becomes syphilitic.
Rubrics to be found helpful in cases of BDD are-

None of that tells you what the central problem is for the person, or how to choose between any of those remedies.
The list of remedies also contains many which are not primarily Sycotic ie. Aconite, Arg-nit, Arsenicum, Aurum, Coffea, Cuprum, Helleborus, Hyos, Ignatia, Lachesis - in fact as I go through it almost none of them are Sycotic.
Firstly, listing the common symptoms for the condition, the diagnostic symptoms, is the worst possible way to go looking for remedies. You are looking for PECULIARS, things that are unexpected or strange for the condition, or not even related to the diagnosis.
Secondly, just making a list of symptoms and adding up the remedies almost never works for chronics - you must establish a totality, a hierarchy, a central core to the case. Without that you will have no direction and no focus.

You only get that if you follow my instructions though. So if you aren't willing to pay the price for my help, don't ask for it. I am serious about that.
