HAHNEMANNIAN CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES 2-Response by Ewald Stöteler.
Dear Dr. Rajiv,
In the ‘Chroniuc diseases Hahnemann mentions two exceptions, in the treatment of chronic disease by the use of mineral remedies. (Lycopodium and Sepia).
All True constitutional remedies are minerals. Mainly the same minerals that we find in our physical body. This seems to be quite logical. The relationship between the dynamis and these minerals is most intense as the dynamis uses these minerals to create our body. To cure the dynamis in case of disease we most likely find the remedy to treat these disturbances in the same mineral group that creates the body.
In nearly all other cases where plant remedies are mentioned in the treatment of Psora they are indicated in the treatment of acute miasmatic psoric states. As soon as the dynamic pathological disturbance has calmed down the indicated psoric constitutional mineral remedy can be prescribed. (Miasmatic disturbances are disturbances of the dynamis itself. As a result the dynamis can not restore the healthy homeostasis). The symptoms as a result are the expression of the disturbed vital principle. After severe acute diseases or acute miasmatics the dynamis is likely to be very exhausted, it is in these cases very useful to use an intercurrent remedy like Sulphur, Hepar, Carb.v or Carb.an. These intercurrents are indicated in the different stages of disease when lack of response or as I call it, ‘psoric indifference’ threatens. The dynamis, as a result of the prescription of an intercurrent remedy, will respond better to the following mineral remedy prescribed on the constitutional symptoms.
According to Hahnemann there are only three basic miasmatic disturbances possible.
Psora is slowing down and making the response of the dynamis incomplete. (Disease symptoms tend to disappear temporarily, spontaniously as a result of the pathological lack of energy)
Sycosis is hurrying up and speeding up the reaction of the dynamis to excess and in a pathological manner.
(Inflammation with a lot of pus. Burmett calls Medorrhinum the mother of pus).
Syphilis is creating a destructive responding dynamis which creates autoimmune disease for instance. (like necrosis, the degeneration of tissue.)
Every other so called chronic miasmatic disturbance is based on a combination of two or three basic miasmatic disturbances.
In the tuberculonic pathological tendency we primarily see inflammation and eventually as a result the destruction of tissue. So in the tuberculonic pathological tendency we in first instance see inflammation=Sycosis and secondly resulting in destruction=Syfilis.
In the carcinogenic tendency we see primarily destruction of the properties typical for cellular behaviour as a result of the destruction of the nucleus of the cell. And secondly as a result of this destruction the cells are growing out off control and invading the surrounding tissue.
First we see destruction of the nucleus=Syphilis and as a result excessive proliferation= Sycosis
The tuberculonic and the carcinogenic pathological tendencies are therefore not the basic miasmatic disturbances as seen by Hahnemann. They are complexes based on the underlying Psora, Sycotic and Syphilitic chronic miasmatic disturbances.
As a rule one can say that the carcinogenic tendency is the last to develop and thus the first to be treated. The second to be treated, if the symptoms are present, is the tuberculonic tendency. The third to be treated if symptoms are present is the Syphilitic miasm. Fourth the Sycotic and than eventually the most fundamental miasmatic disease, the ground evil, Psora.
Every miasm to be treated must be based on the disease-dynamics and the individual characteristic symptoms of the patient and every disease form present.
If however the patient presents more or less strong syphilitic symptoms in the present symptoms or biography and/or in the ancestry. The syphilitic layer is the first to be treated.
Treating the patient antipsoricallly an neglecting a strong syphilitic layer will very often result in acute miasmatic flare-ups with a very strong syphilitic exacerbation which can be potentially lethal.
The Stöteler module is based on the classification of disease of Hahnemann and completed with the work of Burnett who followed in his footsteps and used the same Hahnemannian classification method. This method is, in my opinion a very scientific way to approach whatever disease form.
In the module the known disease forms are presented by a flower with the different pedals.
Every pedal presents a different disease form, which symptoms can or must be explained from different sources which indicate a different group of remedies. This makes disease classification a very wholistic approach. By selecting a symptom and clicking on the corresponding pedal the classification takes place. We can use all symptoms of the patient during the classification process.
The symptoms in the different pedals are presented in another screen.
On the Psora symptoms we prescribe a mineral remedy
On the incident symptoms we can prescribe a plant or animal remedy.
On ‘Erfelijke tendens’ or Inherited tendency, a nosode.
It is best to work from the periphery to the center of the flower.
The different pedals or diseaseforms are corresponding with the various clipboards in RADAR. The indicated remedies chosen from the right remedie group and the possible exceptions will also be more clarified in RADAR.
How, in which order and frequency the remedies have to be prescribed depends on the experience knowledge and skills of the homeopath and the used potencies. (LM or Centesimal).
Warm regards,
Ewald.
