ORGANON OF MEDICINE
Every thing in this
world is guided by
MIASM
PSORA -GENERATION
SYCOSIS -ORGANISATION
SYPHILIS –DISTRUCTION
Eg brahma ,vishnu mahesh
NEED -PSORA
DESIRE -SYCOSIS
GREED- SYPHILIS
What is
 MIASM
Its myth
philosophy
Hypothesis
Just an excuse
 From 1816 to 1828 dr hahnemann was deeply
involved in findind the truith,which ended in 1828
with publishing of his book
 CHRONIC DISEASE
 HE HAD BEEN EMPLOYED IN DAYS AND
NIGHT,WITHVERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF
FINDING OUT
 WHY
 ALLTHE MEDICINES KNOWNTO
HOMEOPATHY BRING ABOUT NO
REAL CURE INTHE DISEASES
 In a letter to frederich golthelf baumgastener hahn
writes in the year 1820
 THEREWILL ALWAYS REMAIN SOMEAILMENT
UNCURED BY HOMEOPATHY
 He further adds,THERE IS STILL LACKINGTHE
GREAT KEYSTONEWHICH BINDSTOGATHER ALL
THAT HAS BEENTHUS FAR PUBLISHED,so that we
may able to improve the treatment of chronic
diseases and effect complete cure
 I have striven day and night ,by thousands of expt
and UNINERUPTED MEDITATION
I have at last attained my object. none of my pupils
as yet know anything of this invaluable discovery
the worth of which to mankind exceeds all else
that I have ever discovered and without which
existing homeopathy remains defective or
imperfect
His greatest discovery he concedes, the discovery
of the missing keystone that is the discovery of
MIASM as the base of chronic maladies .without
miasm theory,homeopathy remains defective or
imperfect
Our mission is to cure and not
to palliate or supress
 If we superficially prescribe then relief is sure
…it may palliate or supression
 But if we intend to cure ,
 then we have to go deep and understand
miasmatic backgrond,,then
 cure is must
psora
sycosis
syphilis
Superficial or
deep pathology
deepest
moderate
superficial
Superficial very short
lasting result-very
little relief
Initialy very good
improvement and
then patient
complains of no
further improvement
Lasting relief comple
or compensatory
cure
PSORA
 Basically functional ailmaints
 Pathology wise slowly progressing
 Intensity wise may be severe/moderate
 Vitality is good
SYPHYLIS
 Rapid progress& deterioration
 Destructive condition
 Lot of activity &dynamism seen
 Disorder/unpredictable/defiant condition
 CHRONIC DISEASE ALWAYS
RETURN IN MORE OR LESS
VARRIED FORM AND WITH NEW
SYMPTOM SO CALLED
SEPARATE DISEASE ARE
SEPARATE MANIFESTATION OF
SAME ORIGINAL DISEASE
 SYCOSIS IS LIKETHIEF ENTERING NYOUR
HOME
 LAW OF SYCOSIS
 DECIET
 YOU ARE UNAWARE OF SYCOTIC MIASM
 ALL SYCOTIC BEHAVIOURS IS BASED ON
INSECURITY
 ALL SYCOSIS BEHAVIOUR CAN PROGRESS
TO SYPHYLIS,WHENTHEY INCREASE AND
GO OUT OF CONTROLL
 SYCOSIS S MOST FREQUENTLY
ENCOUNTERED AMONG ALLTHREE MIASMS
HAHNEMANN
 “MIASM ISVERY IMPORTANT AND IFYOU
DON’T CONSIDER MIASM

MEDICINE FAILTO ACT

Every chronic illness has 3
stages
 Stage1 beginning state after trauma this is
psoric stage ,here physiology is at work
there are changes in biochemistry
(producing
inflam,irritation,sensitiveness,pain,spasm,co
ngestion but no structural or permanent
changes)physiological defence is in progress
to counter the trauma.it is an acute
manifestation
 Stage 2-second stage when body tries to stabilise
and compromise.STRUCTURAL CHANGES takes
place
illness become chronic and
longstanding=SYCOSIS
 STAGE 3 third stage when body looses controls
that were stabilising damage to structure and
organ occours.this bring in destruction every
where.it threatens to destroy organs and finally
itself =SYPHILIS
psora
syphilis
sycosis
 In PSORIC case –sycotic and syphilitic
symptoms are important
 In SYCOTIC cases –syphilitic symptoms are
important
 In SYPHILITIC cases –syphilitic symptoms are
very much important
In most cases ACUTE or CHRONIC
SYPHILITIC SYMPTOM ARE IMPORTANT
Aphorism for syphilitic
symptoms

 In this search for a homoeopathic specific remedy, that is to say, in this
 comparison of the collective symptoms of the natural disease with the list of
 symptoms of known medicines, in order to find among these an artificial
 morbific agent corresponding by similarity to the disease to be cured, the
 more striking, singular, uncommon and peculiar (characteristic) signs
 and symptoms 109 of the case of disease are chiefly and most solely
 to be kept in view; for it is more particularly these that very
 similar ones in the list of symptoms of the selected medicine must
 correspond to, in order to constitute it most suitable for effecting the
 cure.
 The more general and undefined symptoms: loss of appetite, headache,
 debility, restless sleep, discomfort, and so forth, demand but little
 attention when of that vague and indefinite character, if they cannot be more
 accurately described, as symptoms of such a general nature are observed in
 almost every disease and from almost every drug.
If the antitype constructed from the list of symptoms
of the most suitable
medicine contain those peculiar, uncommon, singular
and distinguishing
(characteristic) symptoms, which are to be met with in
the disease to be
cured in the greatest number and in the greatest
similarity, this
medicine is the most appropriate homoeopathic specific
remedy for this morbid
state; the disease, if it be not one of very long
standing, will generally be
removed and extinguished by the first dose of it,
without any considerable
disturbance.
82-only GENERAL CONSTITUTION IS
NOT SUFFICIENT TO GIVE RESULT
 Altough,by discovery of that great source of chronic diseases
,as also by the discovery of the with specific homeopathic
remedies for the psora, medicine had advanced some steps
nearer to a knwoledge of the nature of majority of diseases it
has to cure, yet for setting the indication in each case of chronic
disease he is called on to cure ,the duty of careful
apprehension of its ascertainable symptoms and
charecteristics is as indispensible for the homeopathic
physian as it was before that discovery as no real cure of this
or of other diseases can take place without a strict particular
treatment (individualision) of each case of disease
Nly that in this investigation some difference is
to be made when the affection is an acutec
oand rapidly developed disease,when it is a
chronic one .,seeing that ,
In acute diseases,the chief symptoms strike us
and ebcome evident to senses more quickly
,and much less time is requisite for tracing
the picture of disease and much fewer
questions are required to be asked,as almost
everything is self evident,than
 Only that in this investigation some difference is to
be made when the affection is an acute and
rapidly developed disease and when it is chronic
one ;seening that
 IN ACUTE DISEASE,the chief symptoms strike us and
ebcome evident to senses more quickly ,and much
less time is requisite for tracing the picture of
disease and much fewer questions are required to
be asked,as almost everything is self evident,than
 IN CHRONIC DISEASE,which has been gradually
progressing for several years,in which the
symptoms are much more difficult to ascertained
 APH 206
Before commencing the treatment of chronic
disease,it is necessary to make the most careful
investigation as to
A whether the patient had a veneral infection
(SYPH)
Bor an infection with condylomatous
gonorrhoea(SYCO)
For then the tratment must be directed towords
this alone,when only sign of (SYPHILIS)
 If such infectionhave previously occoured,this
must also be borne in mind in the treatment of
those cases in which psora is present,becouse in
them later is complicated with the former ,as is
alays the case when the symptpms are not those
of pure syphilis;for when physician thinks he has
 A case old veneral disease before him,HE HAS
TO ALWAYS,OR ALMOST ALWAYS,TO TREAT A
SYPHILITIC AFFECTION ACCOMPANIED
MOSTLY BY (COMPLICATED WITH) PSORA,
 For the internal itch dyscrasia (psora)is far the
most frequent most certain fundamental
cause of chronic diseases
 Either united complicated with syphilis or
with sycosis,if the latter infections have
avowedly occoured
This means we have to FIND
SYPHILITIC SYMPTOMS
And find out PSORA (need) of the constitutions
A physician who wants to see
reversal of disease according to LAW
OF CURE has to be aware of
A)what is the NEED of every remedy
(PSORA) and
B)what are SYPHILITIC SYMPTOMS
OF EVERY REMEDY
SYCOSIS (facade)is dangerous miasm

balance called homeostasis)
