EPILOGUE
A FEW WORDS
ABOUT THIS BOOK
I did not wake up one day and said to myself: Oh! Today I am going to
write a book about Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Homeopathy! As it is true
about all true things, this book is the fruit of a seed that grew up gradually
in the mist and all of a sudden popped up spontaneously coming into
light.
8
I also had to explain the difference between Miasmatic Idiosyncratic
Diagnosis that Ive been practicing for many years and other common
and widespread methods of homeopathic diagnosis like Repertorising,
Key-Note Prescribing, Disease-Oriented Prescribing and Computer
Expert Systems.
There were already a lot of books written by me in the past that dealt
fragmentally with Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Diagnosis and Miasmatic
Idiosyncratic Homeopathy. Yet, now was the time to realize that there
wasnt any specific book about Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Homeopathy;
one that could explain my point of view and practice of Homeopathy and
in what ways this differed from other common views and practices.
So, I postponed the original idea of a book about Acute Illnesses and
started writing this very book. There is a relevant Greek saying that has
also become lyrics of a certain song: Weve sailed for one place but life
lead us to another You see, Life has its own way of going on and this
is in accordance with Universal Laws and specifically with the Law of
Eternal Flow.
INTRODUCTION
You can go deep into any matter just by examining its history of
evolution. The reason is that you will be able to see different aspects of
the same thing in different eras and societies. This is also true if we
examine the evolution of Homeopathic Medicine through time from its
origin around two hundred and fifty years ago until today.
10
energy entity and accordingly Illness as a disorder of Etheric Energy; and
that is the reason why it employs energy remedies so as to achieve deeper
and more permanent therapeutic results.
One can easily realize that in the above paragraph we have already
mentioned four fundamental Homeopathic Laws of Diagnosis and
Treatment: The Law of Whole, the Law of Hierarchy, the Law of
Individualization and finally the Law of Similarity!
Only when we employ these fundamental laws, only then we can claim to
practice True Homeopathy or Classical Homeopathy or Miasmatic
Idiosyncratic Homeopathy. For so many years in the field of clinical
practice Ive been asking myself again and again: What is the most
correct and scientific way of practicing Homeopathy?
11
experimentation by the method of Triple Blind Trial in healthy people
(Homeopathic Provings).
12
trainee homeopathic doctor develops the precious tool of Holistic
Thinking not only in the medical field but in all fields of knowledge.
These are the three pillars of the tripod on which Miasmatic Idiosyncratic
Homeopathy stands; but all the above are of no practical use in clinical
practice without correct and long clinical training. It is clinical training
next to an experienced and inspiring homeopathic doctor that brings all
three pillars in one in the same way that the three legs of the tripod unite
in one stand, on which the camera is supported.
13
state of Chronic Illness-state of Clinical Health. Now its time, after the
Acute Illness has passed, to prescribe that homeopathic medicine which is
similar to the last, recent Chronic Idiosyncrasy.
Yet, a lot more can be revealed and photographed. If the doctor focuses
on the background of the scenery he will also take snapshots of the
possible emerging Chronic Idiosyncrasies that are not as strong as the
similar-to-the-present Chronic Idiosyncrasy but are the most possible
ones to pop out in the close future and for which he will possibly
prescribe.
In the end, the sum of snapshots from all levels and areas will reveal to
the photographer-homeopathic doctor not only the External Self of the
patient, but also his Internal Self, that is, the deepest moral quality of this
Individual Psyche. We must never forget that the sum of our miasmatic
and idiosyncratic influences, occurrences of the past, education,
ideologies, beliefs and mental patterns are but our External Self and have
nothing to do with our core, our Internal Self.
14
passes as a trailer in front of the eyes of the experienced homeopathic
doctor in just 45 minutes of Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Case Taking!
This amazing achievement becomes possible only if the doctor lets the
knowledge and experience of Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Homeopathy to
transform him from a materialistic scientist to an evolved morally and
psychologically human being-unselfish therapist!

CHAPTER 1
ILLNESS VERSUS DISEASE
16
This book is about Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Homeopathy. According to
Holistic Thinking and Philosophy, in order to achieve its goal, it must
clearly define relevant basic terms. To do so, it must give satisfying
answers to questions like: Whats Health and Illness? Whats the
difference between Disease and Illness? Whats Diagnosis and whats
Cure?
17
Homeopathy, on the contrary - especially Miasmatic Idiosyncratic
Homeopathy - employs Universal Laws-Homeopathic Laws at all stages
of diagnosis and treatment and at all theoretical attempts towards health
matters.
18
For example, I may inhale polluted air from a polluted industrial area or
the air may be clean but I choose to smoke tobacco. Or, there may be
plenty of natural healthy food around but I choose to eat unhealthy or
unnatural food. Or, I may choose healthy natural food but due to
overcooking or unnatural cooking I transform it into something toxic for
my organism. Last, but not least, I may often malnourish my body due to
psychological imbalance (greed, unnatural fasting or diets, nervous
anorexia, etc)
19
In respect to the above we must also examine Health at the Lower Energy
Level. Man has always been bombard by lower forms of energy like heat,
sound, solar energy, electricity, magnetism, etc. Nowadays, due to
technological progress we are also tremendously affected by radio and
TV waves, microwaves, radiation and other forms of energies.
20
contact with the Spiritual World. However, this level being the highest
and being part of the World of Uniqueness is characterized by eternal and
absolute balance, by nature, and thus it does not play any role in regard to
the phenomena of Illness.
From the above mentioned, its clear that Man, been created in the
image of God and Universe participates and interacts with all levels of
Universe, i.e. Material World, Lower Energy World, Etheric World,
Psychic World and Spiritual World. Moreover, Man is created with a
certain mission by the Creator. In addition, each Individual Psyche is
deeply affected by the phase of Universal Evolution, Earth Evolution and
Human Society Evolution.
On top of all the above factors, any human being has been gifted by the
Creator the precious gift of Free Will, that is, the ability to act naturally
and according to Universal Laws or unnaturally and against Universal
Laws. Thus, Free Will becomes a critical factor affecting our balance
with other living beings and the Worlds of Universe, therefore affecting
in a direct way our state of Health/Illness.
Summing up all the above we conclude that Health is the state of balance
between the individual on one hand and the Material World, Etheric
World, Psychic World, other living creatures, Universe and God on the
other hand. This balance is maintained when the individual makes
21
correct and moral use of his Free Will in respect to Universal Laws, thus
fulfilling his natural mission given by the Creator.
Even greater problems arise for the allopathic concept of Disease by the
fact that, quite often, the same Disease is characterized by different
Etiology and different Pathogenesis. For example, arthritis, diarrhea and
migraine, all considered diseases, may have different and even opposite
causes of pathogenesis.
22
In addition, people diagnosed suffering from the same disease differ
widely in regard to prognosis. There are also differences in regard to
treatment even though, as a rule, the allopathic treatment aims to the
suppression of symptoms or of the disease as a whole.
23
Does that ring a bell in your mind? Does that explain why billions of
allopathic medical statistical research findings are so contradictory and
chaotic? Theres nothing wrong with the science of Mathematics! Theres
so much wrong with the Science of Allopathic Medicine mainly
because its foundation is the concept of Disease!
However, this is definitely not the case! Different people under the
influence of the same external causes develop different pathology and
require different treatment. The reason for this well established fact is the
obvious truth that each human being, each individual, is but a unique
multilevel living creature (material, etheric, psychic, social). Moreover,
he is an Individual Psyche with past lives that bear specific fruits in the
form of inherited Miasmatic and Idiosyncratic Influences that also define
his present Physical and Psychological Chronic Predispositions.
Let me lay down some relevant examples. Under the influence of the
same morbific factors - cold, fatigue, unhealthy nutrition, tobacco,
24
divorce, financial problems, job problems some people remain healthy
and balanced while others may develop a slight, medium or severe Illness
and some even die. Another example: different people may be struck by
the same factor, namely death of a beloved person: one may maintain
his healthy state, the other may develop herpes of the lips, the third one
may develop a gastric ulcer, the fourth one develops depression and the
fifth person commits suicide!
Even in the case where two people under the influence of the same
external factor (extreme cold) develop the same disease (pneumonia), yet
their symptoms, both physical and psychological, will vary a lot. The one
may have a tremendous anguish that he is going to die; he will feel icycold although he has a high fever, will be very thirsty and will have
copious nasal secretion and expectoration. The other may have the
opposite symptoms: calmness, heat, absence of fever and thirst, dryness
of mucous and absence of secretions.
25
merely suppresses symptoms or pathogenesis while Homeopathic
Treatment is focused on restoring balance in a very primary level, the
Etheric Level, by administering energy remedies and thus achieving the
elimination of all physical and psychological symptoms and the
restoration of Health as a whole. Allopathic treatment is, more or less, the
same for patients suffering from the same Disease while homeopathic
treatment is similar to the patients Idiosyncrasy/Illness and not similar to
his Disease.
Its also very important to realize that Disease refers only to the body
(Allopathic pharmaceutical psychiatric treatment treats the brain and
nervous system and not the Psyche of the patient) while Illness refers to
the psychosomatic whole of the individual. The Greek term for Illness is
quite revealing of its meaning. In Greek language Illness is A-sthenia,
i.e. lack of strength. Strength is a general term that refers to the
psychosomatic whole while pathology refers only to local
organs/systems.
26
previous Chronic Idiosyncrasy (Lycopodium) or as a rule gradually and
consecutively get under the influence of some Acute Idiosyncrasies until
he returns back, after a few days, to the influence of his previous Chronic
Idiosyncrasy. Sometimes, the severity of Acute Illness and attitude of the
patient towards his Illness in combination with other factors may result in
changing the Chronic Idiosyncrasy that influences the patient, for
example from Lycopodium to Argentum Nitricum or Sulphur or
Phosphor (related psoric Chronic Idiosyncrasies).
This fact raises a question: Whats the difference between Chronic and
Acute Illness? When it comes to Allopathic Medicine we always refer to
Disease and not to Illness and so Acute Disease is any sudden and
usually intense onset of clinical picture usually of short duration that may
be a result of relapse of a Chronic Disease or may stand on its own.
Consequently, Chronic Disease is any gradual onset of clinical picture
that lasts long, sometimes for a lifetime, and is characterized by periods
of remission of symptoms and intervals of exacerbation of symptoms
(Acute Disease). A Chronic Disease, if severe, may even be the cause of
death of the patient during a certain exacerbation (Acute Disease).
27
Level and Social Level as well. In addition, it also involves the relation of
this individual with corresponding external Worlds, i.e. Material World,
Lower Energy World, Etheric World and Lower Psychic World.
We, deliberately, didnt include Individual Spirit of the person and his
relation with Spiritual World, since these two, being parts of World of
Uniqueness, are above duality and thus above phenomena of HealthIllness. Health at the level of Spiritual World surpasses the conventional
terms Health-Illness in the same way that purity is above the conventional
Good-Bad.
Concept of Illness also includes all those negative influences that come
from the phase of spiral evolution of Universe, Earth and Humanity and
affect any person at the given time of his earthly life. Last but not least,
Illness also has to do with negative physical and psychological actions of
any person during this life time from birth until recently; actions for
which the person is responsible since he has the gift of Free Will by the
Creator.
28
For example, John, as we know him at the present time as patient, relative
or friend, carries with him inherently, as soon as he is born, what could
be called Karmic Heredity. Parts of his Karmic Heredity are Psychic
and Etheric Karmic Heredity that have nothing to do with his parents but
are directly connected to Johns own actions during his previous earthly
lives.
Nowadays, we know through the use of Kirlian Photograph that until the
end of the third month of pregnancy the embryo is made live by the
Etheric Body of the mother. At the end of the third month a dramatic
change takes place. Johns Individual Psyche enters the embryo
(reincarnation) bringing with it the proper Individual Etheric Body of
John. Thats the reason why after that specific time the pregnant woman
when photographed by the Kirlian Method has two different Auras: the
Aura of mother and the Aura of embryo (Johns aura).
29
Theres nothing random or accidental in Universe! As Jesus said, Even
the hairs of your heads are of a determined number. Universe obeys
strictly to Universal Laws. Ancient Greeks believed that even gods, even
Zeus, the father of all gods, obey Fate and Destiny.
We know from Physics that both Material World and Lower Energy
World follow and obey certain Universal Laws. If Lower Worlds follow
Universal Laws its illogical to believe that Higher Worlds like Etheric,
Psychic and Spiritual are not ruled by the same Universal Laws, since
Lower Worlds originate from Higher in the same way that matter
originates from energy.
30
31
searcher of Truth, whatever that may be! In my search I try to stay tuned
with Universal Laws so as to be as closer as possible to Universal Reality
and Truth.
32
Man was carried away from the Creator due to his negative actions; these
negative actions created Karma and subsequently physical pain,
unhappiness and Illness. So, Man is doomed to successive lives in order
to learn his lesson and return back to the arms of the Creator in Spiritual
World where there is no Health/Disease duality but only balance at a
higher level.
Let me propose an analogy. Just think that the beginning of any mans
life resembles to the beginning of a chess game. However, theres an
important difference. The game does not start from scratch! Its rather the
continuation of a chess game that was left unfinished!
33
pawns, queen, king, horses, etc, are already placed in a specific formation
and so is the army of his opponent player. Lets say that his army consists
of the positive actions and virtues that he gained through battles of his
previous lives while the opponent army consists of his negative actions
and vices that originated from the same route through time. So, the
beginning of his new life is already planned and decided according to his
previous lives. A new play is to begin, yet it brings with it the profits and
losses of past games.
34
To be more specific, John is a psoric and introvert individual. He is very
intellectual yet coward in a masked way; he has a considerable amount of
sexual lust yet without great performance skills in the field. Furthermore,
he has a sensitive stomach, a great tendency to eat very quickly and the
right side of his body is very sensitive and prone to problems. All the
above are miasmatic characteristics, idiosyncratic characteristics and
chronic predispositions; they arent clinical symptoms, signs or findings
in any way.
However, if John burdens his back with a lot of weight lifting and
carrying, if he doesnt eat healthy and if on top of that he is involved in a
relation with a syphilitic Valeriana woman who will play hell with him
sexually and emotionally, then he tends to develop back pain on the right
side, duodenal ulcer, early ejaculation and depression. In addition, all
these diseases, either acute or chronic will bear the specific characteristics
of Psoric Miasm and the specific characteristics of idiosyncrasy
Lycopodium.
Acute Illness is the acute, yet general disorder of the patient as a whole. It
originates from the exacerbation of Chronic Illness as defined previously.
35
On the other hand, Acute Disease is defined by Allopathy as the acute
local disorder, either physical or psychological, that may origin from a
Chronic Disease or stand on itself. As a result, during Acute Illness there
may be one or more Acute Diseases and during Chronic Illness there may
be one or more Chronic Diseases.
36
the Emergency Team of the Hospital adds the diagnosis of
Gastroenteritis. The surgeon on call decides that he isnt an emergency
surgical case, yet, he suffers from exacerbation of the symptoms of
Hernia and Hemorrhoids. Finally, the psychiatrist reaches the diagnosis
of Panic Attack on a background of Chronic Depression.
What a troubling situation! In one and single state of Acute Illness five
doctors of Allopathic Medicine have reached diagnosis of eight Acute
Diseases: Acute Rhinitis,
Sinusitis,
Tonsillitis,
Pneumonia,
Gastroenteritis, Inflamed Hernia, Inflamed Hemorrhoids and Panic
Attack!
37
If we go back on a previously mentioned example, what runs through the
species of parrot isnt the color of his feathers but those, naturally given
determinant characteristics that make him have the anatomy, physiology,
etheric body and psychology of a parrot. The same stands bold for Man.
The determinant characteristics of Illness in any individual arent the
arbitrary conceptions of Acute or Chronic Diseases but Miasmatic and
Idiosyncratic Influences that run through nearly all the levels of a human
being either at a state of Chronic Illness or Acute Illness.
Lets take the example of Johns case a step forward. Allopathic doctors
of 5 specialties have diagnosed 8 different Acute Diseases and 7 different
Chronic Diseases. How about if for each Acute Disease every specialist
prescribed from 1 to 3 different drugs? Lets narrow this down to one
drug for each category for this certain case: antibiotic, nasal decongestant,
a drug for the increase of mucous secretion, antipyretic-painkiller,
bronchodilator, cortisone spray, anti-diarrheal drug, and anti-anxiety
drug.
Is Johns nightmare over? Not yet! On exit from the hospital, poor John
carries with him an official medical document that says: We strongly
recommend the use of antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs for
depression. Inhibitors should be used for chronic treatment of the existing
gastritis-recurrent duodenal ulcer. In case of recurrent relapses of
hemorrhoids and right hernia we recommend surgical treatment. In case
of recurrent tonsillitis surgical extraction of tonsils should be considered.
38
Again, do you think that I exaggerate? Well, once again, I dont think so!
Take a minute and think also of all side effects that may come up if John
follows the recommendations for the treatment of his Chronic Diseases
with chemical drugs for a long time; in addition think of negative
implications from any surgery.
In Acute Illness things change rapidly and at times more than one Acute
Idiosyncrasies may develop successively until this acute phase is
surpassed. Accordingly, each state will call for the similar to the state
homeopathic remedy.
After the state of Acute Illness has passed, homeopathic doctor would
recommend John to continue treatment with focus on Chronic Illness and
Chronic Predispositions. Now, it would be time for a Chronic
39
Idiosyncrasy, like Lycopodium in high potency (1M) in this case.
Treatment would last for a couple of months depending on the case until
not only his symptoms would vanish but also his chronic predispositions
would be satisfactorily reduced to minimum. Perhaps, there would be
need for repeating the same Chronic Remedy or a different, usually
relevant one; the one that would match the changes of the patients
idiosyncrasy.
1.18 The three routes of Acute Disease and the two routes of Acute
Illness
In any Acute Disease Allopathic Medicine describes three possible
routes, three possible endings. If the organism is strong enough then
symptoms will subside very soon no matter how strong they will be and
cure will be the result.
If the organism is very feeble and tired then the outcome may be death.
Finally, in the case of an organism with medium strength, without the
ability for complete cure, Acute Disease changes form and becomes
Chronic Disease; its a compromise between organism and Illness.
40
CHAPTER 2
41
2.1 Do symptoms belong to Disease or to Patient?
In Chapter 1 we have analyzed and compared Allopathy and
Homeopathy/Holistic Medicine in regard to conceptions of Health/Illness.
We have also focused on the critical difference between Disease and
Illness. Furthermore we have discussed homeopathic conception of Acute
and Chronic Illness. Now, its time to discuss two more very important
subjects: What are symptoms? What do we treat in Medicine?
42
In the final analysis, both, allopathic doctors and patients, nowadays,
believe that Disease is something external, something bad;
consequently all symptoms are but bad situations that belong to bad
Disease. Accordingly and profoundly any treatment should aim at the
fastest elimination of symptoms in any possible way, natural or unnatural.
In every day allopathic clinical practice this is translated into suppression
of symptoms or where this isnt possible into suppression of the patients
Immune System (Cortisone, Immunosuppressive drugs).
43
From birth until death our organism gives birth to new cells that replace
the old or dead ones. During a life time even if our body seems, more or
less the same, its being rebuilt again and again and this is true of the
whole body as well as its parts, i.e. tissues, organs and organic systems.
Not only our anatomy, is renewed every day but also our biochemistry
and our physiology. Homeostasis is constantly achieved each time at
different levels. Our cells, organs and systems are under a constant
education, learning each time how to achieve the best regulation, the best
homeostasis for the benefit of the whole Man.
44
Principles of the founder of the Orchestra (Individual Spirit) which
defines the principles and mission of the Orchestra. In turn, the founder is
inspired by the laws of harmony of music (Universal Laws) and by the
Creator of Music (God)!
While the car, the machine, in our previous example, is but a passive
receiver of the external morbific causes, Man is not a passive receiver. He
45
is an active and wise whole with a numerous defensive, self-regulating
and self-treating mechanisms. In fact, every individual has his own
specialized and individualized defense mechanisms, self-regulating
mechanisms and self-treating mechanisms. This is in accordance with the
fact that individuals differ in regard to Material Level, Etheric Level and
Psychic Level. In turn, this is due to their different Miasmatic and
Idiosyncratic Influences which originate from their different previous
lives.
Thats the reason why under the influence of the same external material
or etheric morbific cause one person remains balanced, another one is
slightly ill, a third one is severely ill and a fourth one is driven to death. A
group of friends goes to ski at a mountain. Although they, more or less,
wear the same clothing and are exposed for the same period of time, one
doesnt get ill, the other has a slight rhinitis and the third goes down with
pneumonia. Even if a fourth one also goes down with pneumonia,
nevertheless, symptoms, severity of the case and prognosis differ a lot.
46
crying and mourning for some days or weeks he finally gets over it and
goes on with his life.
The third child will not cry at all. He will repress the fact, avoid talking
about it, yet his whole life will change greatly and finally he will sink into
depression. The fourth child will start suffering from guilt since he
believes that his behavior towards his mother before her death wasnt at
all the right one. In the end, he will punish himself by committing
suicide!
47
then we are fully justified to suppress any symptom and thus, often,
suppress Illness in deeper levels, levels that are more crucial to life itself.
Its a very important difference and a crucial one because many of the so
called side effects of the use of chemical drugs and many of the
implications of any Illness come from the suppression of
symptoms/Illness/Immune System by allopathic chemical drugs. The
numerous side effects of any chemical allopathic drug are due to two
reasons/mechanisms. The one mechanism is the direct poisoning of the
organism and the other mechanism is the suppression of
symptoms/diseases/immune system.
Well, as in many cases, answer is in the middle and not at the extreme
viewpoints because there are in general two kinds of symptoms: those
that are the direct outcome of the mobilization of patients Defense
Mechanism and must be considered as useful and those that are the result
of pathology and disorder that must be considered as potentially harmful.
48
In Chronic Illness we dont have symptoms; we have characteristics. In
Acute Illness, Acute Diseases and Chronic Diseases we have both useful
and harmful symptoms. This mixture happens because in all above cases
we have a combination of two states: disorder caused by pathology and
effort for order caused by Defense Mechanism of the patient. If pathology
prevails (for example in advanced cases of Illness) then harmful
symptoms prevail. If pathology doesnt prevail and the patients organism
is vigorous and has the control then useful symptoms prevail.
Now let us see some examples of harmful symptoms and signs. If you
have a patient with hyperthyroidism he tends to have increased appetite
yet he grows thinner; his body temperature is erased and he cant stand
heat at all; he is restless and he easily gets angry; his eyes are protruded;
his thyroid gland is enlarged; his metabolism rate is increased. In this
case increased appetite, intolerance of heat, restlessness and irritability
are harmful symptoms because they are the outcome of a disorder not
controlled by the patients organism and natural psychological Defense
Mechanisms. Accordingly, emaciation, increased body temperature,
49
protruded eyes, increased metabolism and enlarged thyroid gland are
harmful findings.
Only when harmful symptoms endanger patients life and only if we cant
overcome this emergency situation with natural therapeutic means, only
then we have the legal and moral right to suppress symptoms or suppress
patients Defense Mechanism or perform a surgical operation.
50
System. Or if I have a case of advanced Appendicitis and I cant control it
by natural therapeutic means I must not hesitate to proceed to surgical
operation. Or if I have eliminated all other symptoms, useful and harmful
by homeopathic treatment, but yet, due to an anatomic obstacle, lets say
a deformed meniscus in the Knee joint, the physiology of the joint cant
get back to normal, then I am fully justified to proceed also to surgical
operation.
First things, first and first things are Karmic Heredity of John expressed
in the form of Miasmatic and Idiosyncratic Influences which in turn gave
birth to his Chronic Predispositions. John has been psoric(predominantly
under the influence of psoric miasm) since his childhood and one of the
most frequent idiosyncrasies that also affects him since childhood for
long periods of time and even recently, is Chronic Idiosyncrasy
Lycopodium. His Chronic Predispositions are: very sensitive Peptic
System (especially stomach) and sensitive Respiratory System (especially
sinuses and lungs).
51
During the last couple of years he is facing a lot of professional stress due
to his suppressive boss and also a considerable stress due to financial
problems. On top of that, his affair, a syphilitic Valeriana individual,
discovered that he has been cheating on her. As a result she is constantly
making scenes of jealousy although he apologized and promised not to
cheat on her again. She has always been very jealous but now things have
gone to extremes.
Things have gone worse since he constantly tries to prove to her that
sexually nothing has changed between them, i.e. he goes to bed with her
often, even if he hasnt got the desire. Being pressed to have sex even
without desire, he no longer enjoys sex so much and this leads to
inadequate erection or early ejaculation. To make things worse, his
partner perceives his sexual malfunction as proof that he is still under the
influence of his previous affair. In addition, during a quarrel she calls him
impotent. All the above facts affect John immensely because of his
psoric miasm and because of his Lycopodium idiosyncrasy and block the
flow of Etheric Energy in his body.
For the last couple months he doesnt get a good nights sleep and he eats
fast food and junk food. The latter increase the blockage of flow of his
Etheric Energy and fill his body with toxins. His existing indigestion
becomes even greater and fills him with more toxins.
He got up after a few hours of troubled sleep feeling lousy. At first he felt
hot and cold alternately. Then he started feeling all his body ice-cold
while his head was very congested and felt as if in an oven. Chills ran all
52
over his body and especially along his spine as if icy water was poured on
him. His stomach was a mess. He also had copious transparent watery
nasal secretion, high fever, sore throat, obstructed nose, dry cough and
chest pain.
He took the car and drove as fast as he could to the nearest hospital. He
was diagnosed with pneumonia. Laboratory exams verified clinical
diagnosis adding the term pneumococcal. He received proper for the
case antibiotics in high dosage.
Its obvious that all psychological morbific factors act on Psychic Level
and thats also the case with John. Subsequently, disorder of Psychic
Level affects normal flow of Etheric Energy through the Meridians and
53
this, in turn, affects body. Stress also directly affects all physiological
functions through Autonomic Nervous System.
Lets get back to John. Inadequate sleep does not give his body and
psyche the chance to make repairs on physical and psychic level and in
addition disorders his Etheric Energy. Unhealthy nutrition deprives his
Etheric Body from fresh, natural Etheric Energy. It also fills his body
with toxins. His Chronic Predisposition in regard to digestion makes
things worse. Sausages and beer late at night drive things to extremes. His
organism is full of toxins and needs urgently detoxification.
The last straw is exhaustion from skiing and exposure to cold while full
in sweat. This exposure is the pretext that his wise organism had long
been looking for in order to detoxify itself by mobilization of one of the
most efficient self-repairing and therapeutic mechanisms, i.e. Mechanism
of Inflammation.
54
2.10 All useful Symptoms are created by the patients Therapeutic
Mechanisms
Therapeutic Mechanism of Inflammation creates many physical
symptoms like nasal secretions, perspiration, copious urination, fever,
chills, increased thirst, anorexia, cough, expectoration, etc. All the above
symptoms aim at the same useful purpose, i.e. detoxification of the
patient, cleaning of the system. Moreover, these symptoms are not the
outcome of any loss of control of the organism. On the contrary, they are
the product of a vigorous organism that tries to control disorder and
overcome it. Thats why they should be considered as useful symptoms.
The same is also true for most cases of gastroenteritis. Colds in winter
and Gastroenteritis in summer are two beneficial cleaning procedures
helping the organism to detoxify itself by two naturally designed
phenomena.
When his beneficial actions are completed and he is no more useful for
the organism and in order not to have nay harmful implications the
Immune System of Johns organism takes full action and exterminates the
recycler. Its crucial to realize that its the organism that mobilizes the
Mechanism of Inflammation and controls the whole procedure; unless the
organism is so exhausted (very old people) or immunosuppressed by
allopathic medicines that he may start the procedure and later on lose
control of things. If we permit our organism to do his therapeutic job then
the result will be a cleaner, healthier and stronger organism.
55
56
2.11 Allopathic Treatment: at what level of Etiological Chain of
Illness does it act?
Its now time to examine each and every Therapeutic System in order to
see at what level of Etiological Chain of Disease they act. The same
question must be asked about the various methods of practicing
Homeopathy.
The greater the suppressive action of an allopathic drug the severer the
consequences on the organism. If I suppress an isolated useful symptom
by limited interference at a certain biochemical procedure this is less
harmful than suppressing a mechanism of pathogenesis. If I suppress a
part of Immune System is definitely less harmful than suppressing
Immune System as a whole. If I suppress Illness in general this is much
more harmless compared to suppressing a local Disease. Finally, if I
suppress Psychic Level then things are more severe than suppressing
Physical Level. All the above are in accordance to Law of Hierarchy.
57
Very often, nowadays, Allopathic Treatment is focused on suppression of
biochemical findings. For example, treating High Blood Pressure by antihypertension drugs or hypercholesteremia by anticholesteremic drugs or
hyperuricemia by anti-uricemia drugs is merely suppression of
biochemical findings. Bottom line, in Allopathy, we treat abnormal
biochemical findings, abnormal lab tests, instead of Illness or instead of
Morbific Factors that lead to Illness. Causes or Morbific Factors remain
untouched and working and so is Illness and that is the reason why the
patient is ordered to take such medicines for years or even for life
endangered with severe side-effects.
58
Another example of Substitutional Treatment is administration of insulin
in diabetic patients, thyroid hormones in hypothyroidism and estrogens in
menopause. If disorder is non-reversible like for example, in some cases
of Juvenile Diabetes this practice is justified. Yet, in many cases of
hypothyroidism we can cure by treating the causes and not by
substituting. In the case of menopause due to age we shouldnt cause a
hemorrhage by excessive estrogens and think that this is beneficial for an
organism that no longer needs to have a menstrual cycle.
In all the above cases of administering hormones, many side effects arise
from the fact that we cant imitate precisely the hormone molecule.
Furthermore, we arent able to give to each patient precisely the dosage
needed every time. In addition, the rate of secretion of any hormone
obeys to a certain 24 hours cycle, to a monthly cycle, to a seasonal cycle,
etc. This is not in accordance with our technique of administering the
same dosage each day/month/season at a certain fixed hour.
59
A detailed and full of examples analysis of wrong techniques and side
effects of Allopathic Treatment is laid down in the two volumes of my
book A Thousand and One Medical Delusions.
60
soon after that, things get back to previous state of Chronic Illness
leaving behind a more tired and organism.
All Vitamins, Food Supplements and Super Foods act like herbs mostly
on Physical Level and especially at biochemical level. They may
eliminate lack of elements or they may promote cleaning and detoxifying
mechanisms of the body through their antioxidant properties. Yet, as the
saying points out Its the dosage that turns any medicine into poison!
Even though above means and herbs usually act in a mild and natural
way, if they are given too often and in large dosages they may cause side
effects; milder than chemical drugs, yet considerable ones.
61
deeper way not only the whole (including Psychic Level also) but even
Chronic Predispositions of the individual.
62
CHAPTER 3
63
3.1 Evolution of Homeopathic Materia Medica
For any patient and moreover, for any doctor that turns to Homeopathy
three crucial questions arise:
1. Why are there so many Schools in Homeopathy?
2. Which is the right one?
3. How can I judge what kind of Homeopathy a doctor applies?
64
the patient), Miasmatic Diagnosis, etc. The last two decades I have
developed and practice a new method of diagnosis that I have termed
Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Diagnosis.
Accordingly, we may use the same Materia Medica, lets say Kents
Materia Medica, yet laws that govern our prescription may differ widely.
For example, one doctor is based only on physical symptoms while
another one is based on disease and a third one is based on the individual
as a whole and mainly from the point of view of the patients
idiosyncrasy. The outcome will be different diagnosis and different
treatment. Even if all homeopathic doctors, pretty much, use the same
homeopathic remedies, if the method of selection of the remedy is
different, then the treatment is different.
65
addition, for each symptom there were data about its onset, duration,
intensity, locality and periodicity.
The next step was Clinical Materia Medica. Every time a certain
homeopathic medicine prepared from the homonymous substance used in
Provings was prescribed and cured successfully those symptoms revealed
at Provings this was a reconfirmation that the latter symptom was
characteristic of the proved substance.
Confirmation was not done only for isolated symptoms like for instance
burning renal pain extending to urine bladder. It was also carried out
for a combination of symptoms that could be considered as a local
disease, for example kidney colic with burning pain, frequent urination,
bloody urine, fever, restlessness and irritability.
Moreover, clinical practice revealed data that could not have been
observed during Provings because of the short duration of the latter that
did not permit pathology to take place. Histological and anatomical
66
findings as well as diseases were related as happening more frequently to
patients that had been prescribed with a certain homeopathic remedy. For
example, certain individuals prescribed by X homeopathic remedy had a
predisposition for warts or diabetes and seemed to have a tendency for the
development of a specific body type, etc.
67
Lycopodium Idiosyncrasy) tends to have certain specific modalities, i.e.
stomach pain of X type, retching of X type, more often during specific
time of the day or night, ameliorated by this and that conditions,
aggravated by this and that conditions, etc.
If any Idiosyncrasy had been influencing any person for a long time, then
during the State of Health/Chronic Illness, this certain individual, for
example Lycopodium individual, had the tendency to develop certain
chronic idiosyncratic characteristics: eats hastily, dyspepsia if he eats
late at night, specific body type, sexual behavior characterized by lust,
etc.
68
Take for example the plant Valerian that has been used as Crude
Substance during the Proving of the plant Valerian. From this
experimentation on healthy human beings arose data that when put
together create into our minds the pathological Proving Picture of
Valerian, saved down on paper in our Materia Medica. This Proving
Picture of the Crude Substance of Valerian is similar to the Idiosyncratic
Picture of Valerian developed on a person under the etheric influence of
homonymous Idiosyncrasy that exists outside and beyond that individual
and beyond Man as an entity. In order to get over this etheric imbalance,
the homeopathic doctor prescribes the energy Homeopathic Remedy
Valerian that is similar to the Idiosyncratic Picture of Valerian. We have
already described four states/concepts that, although bear the same name
of Valerian, are different!
If these etheric influences act for long enough they can alter not only the
persons physiology but also his anatomy (anatomic findings and body
type) and create Chronic Predispositions for Illness or specific Diseases.
In addition, they tend to establish a specific personality, a certain kind of
thinking and attitude towards life, i.e. a specific External Self.
69
Any person has his Internal Self, his balanced self. External Self is but
the contaminated, unbalanced self. Idiosyncratic influence is an
external etheric disordering factor existing independently from any
person although it can affect him greatly.
In the same way that we shouldnt identify Man with his physical or
psychological disease or illness, in the same way we shouldnt identify
any individual with the, each time idiosyncrasy/miasm that affects him.
An individual isnt his colitis or his depression. Accordingly, an
individual isnt Valerian or Lycopodium or Psoric Miasm.
In conclusion, apart from the plant Valerian, the Proving Picture of the
plant Valerian to healthy people and the etheric Idiosyncrasy Valerian
theres also the etheric Homeopathic Remedy Valerian. The latter
neutralizes/antidotes the disordering influence of Idiosyncrasy Valerian to
the suffering person. Any confusion between the above arises mainly due
to the use of the same word (the name of the mineral/plant/animal
product) for all four different states/concepts.
Its very important, always to bear in mind that the first state corresponds
to the mineral/plant/animal product, the second to a clinical picture (sum
of physical and psychological symptoms and characteristics), the third to
a negative external disordering etheric influence on the patients Etheric
Body and the fourth to a positive, healing, balancing pharmaceutical
influence on the same Etheric Body.
70
This is also true at the Material World. For example, the combination of
protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom doesnt result to a
continuous spectrum of Elements in the Periodic Table of Elements.
Another well known example is the state of water according to its
temperature. Although theres a continuous spectrum of temperatures,
water suddenly becomes solid ice below zero degrees Centigrade and gas
over 100 degrees Centigrade. Theres a visible transformation of quantity
into quality.
Another example is the fact that not all combinations of the elements of
the Periodic Table can take place and give a chemical compound. The
same is also true for the combination of the basic parts of DNA. Not all
forms of DNA correspond to living organisms with a specific identity. In
the Psychic Level of a human being differences between indisposition,
melancholy, depression and catatonia isnt only a matter of quantity;
theres a qualitative change also present. The same is true for agitation,
71
nervousness, irritability and mania. All the above obey to the Natural
Law of Transformation of Quantity into Quality.
If you believe that Illness is an energy disorder, then its profound that
you must employ energy means of treatment. Thats why Hahnemann
employed the procedure of Potentization in order to prepare energy
homeopathic medicines that could neutralize/antidote negative action of
Idiosyncrasies/Illness.
72
Some doctors and researchers believed that, time given and after
continuous proving of the same substances, we could reveal the full
spectrum of action of any substance that would involve all organic
systems and all areas of the Psychic Level. However, time,
experimentation and clinical practice confirmed the fact that only few
substances presented a wide Proving Picture that included a specific
psychological picture and only few homeopathic medicines were indeed
polychrest and at the same time deep and long acting.
73
When you deal with life you must differentiate between naturally existing
phenomena and artificially created/laboratory phenomena. As discussed
previously, most phenomena of Material and Lower Energy World are
found in discrete forms and so are etheric phenomena of life. Etheric
abnormalities/Illness tends to appear in specific forms because
Idiosyncrasies tend to appear in specific forms. Consequently, only few
potentized substances can be considered as homeo-pathic remedies, i.e.
similar to the above specific forms of Illness.
74
This fact doesnt make Homeopathy less effective. Quality over Quantity!
My clinical practice taught me that Chronic Idiosyncrasies that affect the
whole spectrum of human disorder are around 50 and these Idiosyncrasies
are treated by deep and long acting, polychrest, corresponding, Chronic
Homeopathic Remedies of equal number. Accordingly, Acute
Idiosyncrasies that correspond to Acute Illnesses arent more than a few
hundreds. These Idiosyncrasies are treated by corresponding Acute
Homeopathic Remedies of equal number.
If you dont follow Universal and Natural Laws you end up in various,
popular delusions like for example I am trying to find that rare
homeopathic medicine that suits the case or I am trying to find the
combination of homeopathic remedies that suits the case.
75
medicines, a thousand pages) managed to give a satisfying idiosyncratic
picture only for 5-10 Chronic Idiosyncrasies/Remedies (Sulphur,
Arsenicum, Pulsatilla, Argentum Nitricum, Natrum Muriaticum).
Kent is quite honest when in his Materia Medica often says that this
substance/medicine is partially proven and so we dont have yet a clear
picture of its full action. In such cases, he merely lists isolated symptoms
from Recording Materia Medica of Herring.
76
patients end up having, more or less, the same symptoms. They are not
characteristic and specific; they dont refer any more to the individual.
77
Kents Materia Medica is also valuable for another reason. It includes the
first effort for a more advanced compared to Hahnemann miasmatic
analysis of some Idiosyncrasies/Remedies. Yet, most of the times this is
partial and does not run through both physical and psychic level. It
mostly refers to pathology than to the manner of thinking and acting of
the person during Chronic Illness/Every Day Life.
78
CHAPTER 4
MIASMATIC IDIOSYNCRATIC
HOMEOPATHY
79
4.1 Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Materia Medica
After many years of clinical practice and application of Universal Laws
and Holistic Philosophy in the area of Medicine/Homeopathy I gradually
established what I like to call Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Homeopathy.
This is founded on three interconnected pillars.
psychological
idiosyncratic
80
Chronic Idiosyncrasies/Chronic Illness rather than focus on Acute
Idiosyncrasies/Acute Illness.
In addition, versions of the same Idiosyncrasy due to age (child, old age)
or gender (male, female) or profession and cultural level are also
mentioned where theres a diagnostic interest.
81
seem contrary. For example, you can prescribe Lachesis for a syphilitic
woman that adopts Secondary Behavior of the poor, sensitive victim
and for a syphilitic woman that adopts Secondary Behavior of the strict,
mean, dominant mother/wife/boss/principal.
82
When we question the patient about his psychological characteristics we
should be very careful. Quite often, theres a great gap between theory
and practice, between declarations and actions. This is true of all people
and even truer when it comes to syphilitic people that are the majority
nowadays, in the syphilitic era that we live in. We must find out if theres
a difference between theory and practice and what are the real, primary
intensions of the person in study.
For instance, quite often Lachesis and Valerian subjects say that they
arent jealous although their husbands or boyfriends swear about the
opposite! Or you may often see a Lachesis woman who publicly declares
a religious, moral and good person while in everyday life she makes her
husbands/children life a hell with her dominant behavior.
83
hypofunction and decreased motility of his large intestine. The outcome
is usually dry and hard stool and consequently difficult defecation.
The corresponding sycotic state would rather be diarrhea, yet, theres also
a kind of constipation with sycotic characteristics. It would consist of a
difficulty in defecation due to a sudden yet temporary spasm of intestines.
The patient would feel urgent tendency to stool, would run to the toilet,
yet there would be a sudden spasm and then after the pain ceases
defecation would be sudden, copious and full of sounds and gases.
Psoric course of Illness or psoric course of a disease is the slow and mild
onset, slow and mild exacerbations and mild pathology. On the contrary,
sycotic course of Illness is the sudden and intense onset and sudden and
intense exacerbations with hypertrophic anatomical findings. Syphilitic
course is the irregular, non typical, strange and destructive course.
In every day clinical practice, as in everyday life there are no clear states
and images as previously mentioned. If the person/patient doesnt project
a clear image we shouldnt waste energy and time on determining his
84
dominant miasm. We should look for an idiosyncrasy that hasnt got a
clear, dominant miasm prevailing. Furthermore, we should bear in mind
that there are several idiosyncrasies that have psoric, sycotic and
syphilitic versions. There are also certain idiosyncrasies in which a
certain miasm dominates on one area/level and another one dominates on
a different area/level.
85
Thats the reason why this active case taking usually lasts around 45
minutes only if done by an experienced homeopathic doctor. Take in
consideration that the whole case taking includes greeting the patient,
personal data recording, giving information to the patient about
Homeopathy, a complete allopathic case taking, the special homeopathic
case taking, writing the prescription and giving instructions about the
treatment. In reality, what we call special homeopathic case taking lasts
from 5 to 20 minutes.
These same laws are also fully applied during treatment of the patient.
They help the doctor in second prescription and follow up of the patient
and during the whole procedure up to complete cure. All these are
described in details in the book Homeopathic Therapeutics.
86
87
In the end, the sum of snapshots from all levels and areas will reveal to
the photographer-homeopathic doctor not only the External Self of the
patient, but also his Internal Self, that is, the deepest moral quality of this
Individual Psyche. We must never forget that the sum of our miasmatic
and idiosyncratic influences, occurrences of the past, education,
ideologies, beliefs and mental patterns are but our External Self and have
nothing to do with our core, our Internal Self.
This amazing achievement becomes possible only if the doctor lets the
knowledge and experience of Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Homeopathy to
transform him from a materialistic scientist to an evolved morally and
psychologically human being-unselfish therapist!
88
CHAPTER 5
CRITISISM
OF OTHER METHODS OF
HOMEOPATHIC DIAGNOSIS
5.1 What does similarity really means?
5.2 What we call State of Clinical Health in Allopathy is but the
State of Chronic Illness in Homeopathy
5.3 Repertorising is wrong when it comes to Chronic Illness
5.4 Chronic Idiosyncrasies
Idiosyncrasies in Acute Illness
in
Chronic
Illness
and
Acute
89
5.16 Whats wrong with Key-Note Prescribing?
5.17 A stupid homeopathic rule!
5.18 The majority of Proving Pictures doesnt correspond to
Naturally Existing Idiosyncrasies/Homeopathic Remedies
5.19 The curse of Great Masters!
5.20 So many violations
5.21 Homeopathy is fascinating only when its actually Homeopathy!
5.22 Energy similarity of the Homeopathic Remedy to a Naturally
Existing Illness
5.23 Towards a new, Clinically Proved Miasmatic Idiosyncratic
Materia Medica
5.24 At what level/levels of Etiological Chain of Illness acts each
homeopathic method of diagnosis?
90
Unfortunately, this is an existing practice and its more than obvious that
this isnt a homeopathic approach since similarity doesnt refer to the
whole of the patient and since it violates Homeopathic Law of the Whole,
Law of Similarity and Law of Individualization. Thats the reason why
there are no therapeutic results or very poor ones mainly in the form of
palliation if the administered remedy by chance happens to be relative to
the simillimum.
If doctor does not focus on Acute Disease, per se, but on similar
version of Acute Disease then he may say: This version of pneumonia
resembles the Proving Picture of Arsenicum from respiratory system, the
other version resembles the Proving Picture of Lycopodium, etc. So
whenever I have such a similar version I prescribe the remedy that is
similar to the version of Acute Disease according to Proving Pictures.
You focus on Acute Disease, yet you individualize based on specific
symptoms.
Thats what Hahnemann did for many years and thats what many
homeopathic doctors do nowadays. That is, they do a Repertorising
focusing on special symptoms of Acute Disease and they prescribe that
remedy that seems to be similar to Lycopodium version of pneumonia
or to Arsenicum version of pneumonia.
91
What could go wrong in this case? I may have to do with a person that
was influenced by Chronic Idiosyncrasy Lycopodium during the State of
Clinical Health/Chronic Illness and the last days during the State of Acute
Illness he is mostly influenced by Acute Idiosyncrasy Arsenicum. He
now has the physical and psychological idiosyncratic symptoms of
Arsenicum and if I prescribe Arsenicum he will do well and overcome
this temporary state of Acute Illness.
The child with recurrent colds or the woman with recurrent vaginitis or
the man with recurrent Panic Attacks do well every time they are
prescribed for the Acute Relapse, yet, their Chronic Predispositions are
there untouched. The person of our example was never given
Lycopodium after the treatment of Acute Illness. He keeps taking
Arsenicum or Belladonna or Aconitum during every incident of
pneumonia, bronchitis or cold. There isnt any focus on the State of
Clinical Health/Chronic Illness.
92
So, its crucial to realize that whenever we say that someone is clinically
healthy or healthy this isnt a clear state of health either physically or
psychologically.
-OK, you may be influenced by a certain idiosyncrasy, yet, you may be
balanced
-Nevertheless, this is a state of relative balance. You may not have an
Acute Illness at the physical or psychological level, yet
-I mean not to have the intense characteristics of the idiosyncrasy to be
in balance.
-Yet, its a relative balance. You may not have idiosyncratic symptoms
but you still have idiosyncratic characteristics. For example you may not
have manic attacks of anger which can be considered a Disease (Mania)
by Allopathy yet you are the irritable unbalanced person for example with
the characteristic irritability of Stramonium or Hyoscyamus at stage A,
the state of Clinical Health.
93
after the treatment he will be better and more balanced, yet, his balance
will again be relative although at a higher level, at a more stable level.
Most of the times its not the intention and the goal that matters but the
way, the method employed to reach the goal. If you use the wrong
method, then despite good intentions and right goal, you end up in a
different outcome. And the wrong method usually employed is
Repertorising. If you try to go from Europe to America by a car (Disease
Oriented Diagnosis) then you will never get there. If you try to go by a
small fishing boat/balloon (Repertorising) you may make it but the odds
are pretty faint. Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Diagnosis is the jet plane that
will get you there quickly and safely!
94
off the right course since only few remedies are described there in an
integrated idiosyncratic way, let aside the miasmatic picture.
in
Chronic
Illness
and
Acute
Let me give you an example. Lets discuss again the previous example of
a person who is influenced by idiosyncrasy Lycopodium during his State
of Clinical Health/Chronic Illness. During an Acute Illness he may be
influenced by several Acute Idiosyncrasies (Arsenicum, Belladonna,
Aconitum, etc) before he returns back to previous chronic influence of
Lycopodium.
95
couldnt become self-dependent homeopathic doctors! Anyway, I will not
say more about it because its a long and bitter story
The outcome of this peculiar situation was that I was obliged for many
years to focus almost exclusively on Chronic Idiosyncrasies and Chronic
Illness having nothing to do with Repertory and Repertorising. This made
it possible to have a complete focus on miasmatic and idiosyncratic
characteristics and this gradually let me to the formation of my Miasmatic
Idiosyncratic Materia Medica.
96
Nevertheless, the most surprising and important realization was that all
other thousands of Proving Pictures are not, in fact, naturally existing
states! They are merely Laboratory Poisoning Pictures, pictures of
Artificial Illness that dont correspond to Naturally Existing
Idiosyncrasies. Consequently, they should not be considered as
Homeopathic Remedies since they arent similar to any naturally existing
state!
So, whenever a patient comes to me the first step is to ask about the
symptoms of the Disease in order to come up with the allopathic
diagnosis. If he is in a state of Acute Illness I do a special kind of
Repertorising so as to prescribe first for his Acute Illness giving Acute
Homeopathic Medicines for a couple of days.
My next step is to focus on his Chronic Illness and on his miasmatic and
idiosyncratic characteristics so as to prescribe a Chronic Remedy that
suits his Chronic Idiosyncrasy/Chronic Illness. He will receive this
Chronic Remedy immediately after his Acute Illness has passed, usually
after three to five days. Even if he comes to me with a history of Chronic
Disease I never focus on his chronic physical symptoms but on the
contrary I always focus on his miasmatic and idiosyncratic
characteristics.
We must realize that from the point of hierarchy, what really matters, is
the State of Clinical Health/Chronic Illness and not his State of Acute
Illness. Consequently, hierarchically, what matters are first miasmatic
characteristics, then psychological characteristics and profile, then
general physical characteristics and only then come symptoms. And
when it comes to symptoms first are psychological symptoms in Acute
Illness, then are general physical symptoms (generals), then follow Key
Notes and last are local symptoms (particulars). The above classification
is in accordance with Universal/Homeopathic Law of Hierarchy.
97
Lets get back to hierarchy of characteristics and symptoms and put all
said in a table/list.
Its of utmost importance to realize that the kind of case taking done and
the kind of Materia Medica consulted will define our homeopathic
diagnosis/selection of simillimum. If I focus on Acute Illness I may
prescribe the Acute Remedy that is similar to the Acute Idiosyncrasy thus
helping my patient overcome the stage of Acute Illness. However, I wont
touch his Chronic Illness at all unless I happen to deal with the rare case
where my patient during his Acute Illness is influenced by the same
Idiosyncrasy as in his Chronic Illness state. On the other hand if I focus
on his Chronic Illness and prescribe the Chronic Remedy that is similar to
his Chronic Idiosyncrasy then I will help my patient overcome his
Chronic Predispositions.
98
99
Let me give you an example: If you go to Kents Repertory and look at
the rubric Weeping, tearful mood you will find enlisted many psoric,
sycotic and syphilitic Chronic Idiosyncrasies, all together with no
differentiation (not to mention that we have to let apart all Acute
Idiosyncrasies enlisted there and all Artificial Proving Pictures that dont
correspond to Naturally Existing Idiosyncrasies).
An extra reason for mistakes is that syphilitic individuals, who are the
majority nowadays, tend to exaggerate in regard to the intensity of their
symptoms leading any inexperienced doctor to over-grade it. So, if you
are mainly supporting your diagnosis to Repertory, then you are in big
trouble.
So, if you are a Repertorising doctor and you dont know anything about
Miasms or if you know some theoretical staff but you dont know how
miasms affect case taking, then you are entrapped. You are lost and the
100
case is definitely lost! Youve probably prescribed Pulsatilla instead of
Lachesis!
The next step was to identify the miasmatic characteristics of all Chronic
Idiosyncrasies. It has come to my attention that individuals influenced by
the same Idiosyncrasy had significant differences according to the leading
miasm and according to the intensity of influence of the second miasm.
For example, while Lachesis is a leading syphilitic idiosyncrasy the
clinical picture of individuals influenced by it, vary a lot if theres a
strong second miasm also affecting the person. Thus, we may have the
psoric version of Lachesis or the sycotic version.
101
In fact, quite often, Valerian teenagers or young women (syphilitic
miasm) when becoming mothers gradually become overprotective
mothers and tend to be influenced by Lachesis. They havent changed
miasmatic influence, yet clinical picture of Lachesis is altered slightly or
greatly due to the yet existing effect of the Valerian background. This
background does not only include present etheric influence but it also
includes all the adopted ideas and patterns of behavior of the past that still
characterize the person. Please, do remember that the Individual is a lot
more than the Idiosyncrasy that, at times affect it.
102
Philosophy and especially Holistic Philosophy. The latter one gave me
insight into Universal Laws and the levels of Universe and Man. The next
step was to apply these laws into everyday homeopathic clinical practice.
For years Ive been wondering what Kent really means when he says in
his Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy that Man is but his will and
understanding. After much consideration I ended up in the following
translation: An individual is made up from his desires/motives (will)
and from the way he interprets facts (understanding).
Kent, also classified as more important those symptoms that were strange
(peculiar symptoms) than those that were ordinary (regulars). For
example, if I have fever, sweat a lot and I feel thirsty, then the latter one
is a regular symptom. On the contrary, if I have fever, sweat a lot and yet
not only I am not thirsty but on top of that I have an aversion for water,
then this is a peculiar symptom.
103
I have applied the Universal Law of Hierarchy to Man and Illness and the
result was the Etiological Chain of Illness as mentioned above and as
described in details in the book Causes of Illness. On top of the Chain
are Miasmatic and Idiosyncratic Influences of a person that affect his
motives, intentions, will and desires. Then come Thoughts, then
Emotions and finally Behavior.
Its crucial for the doctor to be familiar with the various Secondary
Behaviors that all Chronic Idiosyncrasies tend to develop. In the
description of Chronic Idiosyncrasies in my Materia Medica I mention
most of the Secondary Behaviors that each idiosyncrasy tends to put
forward. If homeopathic doctor prescribes focusing on Secondary
Behavior without taking in consideration Primary Behavior that lies at the
background then he is very often mistaken.
-Well, in Acute Illness also, the behavior of the person differs from his
usual behavior.
-Thats right, but this doesnt have to do anything with Primary and
Secondary Behavior. This has to do with the fact that during any Acute
Illness the individual is, as a rule, influenced temporarily by one, or
successively by two or more Acute Idiosyncrasies that differ from the
Chronic Idiosyncrasy prevailing during the State of Clinical
Health/Chronic Illness.
104
Lets now get back to what I was saying previously. Its critical for the
doctor to prescribe according to Primary Behavior of the patient and not
according to his Secondary Behaviors. And thats the reason why in my
Materia Medica I describe most frequent Secondary Behaviors that each
idiosyncrasy tends to adopt comparing them to the Primary Behavior.
That doesnt mean that diagnostically any Secondary Behavior isnt
useful. In fact, many times its Secondary Behavior that leads you to
Primary one.
105
In fact, Repertories and Materia Medica include mostly symptoms from
Stage C and D, secondarily symptoms from Stage B and only few
characteristics from Stage A. Even the great master Kent, has these stages
mixed not only in his Repertory but even in his Materia Medica
especially when he describes Acute Remedies/Idiosyncrasies or even
Chronic Ones for which he didnt grasp the essence. He then quotes an
arbitrary list of symptoms with only criterion the organic system they
refer to. At times in his Materia Medica he distinguishes between a
primary stage and an advanced stage of Illness.
When things move to Stage B, of primary Acute Illness, then we have the
typical phobias of Phosphor about his health as described in most Materia
Medica and his typical extrovert disposition in regard to symptoms. Yet,
at Stage C, of advanced Acute Illness, theres a profound withdrawal. He
is still afraid about his health, yet he is so disappointed from the fact that
he finds no cure and relief that he doesnt talk so much about his fears
and doesnt attend often doctors. He is more withdrawn to himself, less
expressed, not wanting company so much, less social and more
depressed.
106
In regard to Non Verbal Information let me remind you that even at the
allopathic case taking we record not only symptoms mentioned by the
patient but also signs observed by the doctor. Especially in the case of
psychiatric case taking these signs may be much more important and
crucial to diagnosis than symptoms. Often the psychiatric patient says one
thing and you observe the opposite.
For example a paranoid schizophrenic patient may seem to lay down very
rational arguments and comments about society or politics or philosophy
and an inexperienced doctor may say: How rational and composed is his
thinking! However, if doctor compares what the patient says with what
he does at his everyday life then he will recognize clear signs of insanity.
107
You will not find such Non Verbal Information in any Repertory or
Materia Medica apart from my Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Materia Medica
and my Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Case Taking. I consider such
information as valuable and guiding. Its more than certain that theres no
direct absolute relation of any certain Non Verbal Information with a
specific Idiosyncrasy. Any certain Idiosyncrasy may develop several
different or even contrary Non Verbal signs yet there are distinctive signs
that can be used only as guiding data, as data that remind doctor of
certain idiosyncrasies. They are things to be taken in consideration and to
be compared with the whole of the patient.
Even at the first phase of case taking, the phase of collecting data, the
doctor is an active receiver not only recording data but also thinking of
possible idiosyncrasies and miasms and gradually asking targeted
questions to verify or reject these possibilities. This enables him to reach
final diagnosis in a very short time. On the contrary, if you do
Repertorising its going to take two hours or more and you may get not
even close to the simillimum. The reason is that you dont take things
hierarchically and you get drowned in an ocean of mixed and arbitrary
symptoms.
108
-You are so right! You get lost if you dont evaluate things correctly and
systematically.
-You have seen me in the office and you know how I work. First of all I
grab the patient by the collar and I dont let him drive me astray into
information that isnt important. Yet, this is done in a very careful way so
as to avoid driving him to prejudiced answers.
You must have also noticed that the average duration of a first case taking
is about 45 minutes and that most of this is spent on procedure: recording
of his personal data, allopathic case taking, check his laboratory
examinations, express my opinion about his diagnosed diseases, express
my opinion about his present medication, explain briefly what is
Homeopathy and what it can do to his problems, instructions about his
homeopathic treatment, etc.
Miasmatic idiosyncratic case taking, per se, lasts from 5-20 minutes!
Nevertheless, the method of Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Case Taking already
begins from the very first second of the contact with the patient; even
from the time he calls to set an appointment. I believe that you must have
seen me noting down an appointment after a telephone call and you must
have noticed that many times I note down his possible idiosyncrasy
-Yes, yes and I remember asking you about it. So you start observing
him even from the very beginning.
-Well, thats possible because of the utilization of Non Verbal
Information. Let me also remind you that we can have miasmatic and
idiosyncratic information from the diseases he had in the past and from
present diseases.
109
We should not forget that Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Case Taking goes
along, hand by hand, with Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Materia Medica. Only
if you bear inside your mind and heart the miasmatic, idiosyncratic
pictures and essence of all Chronic Idiosyncrasies, only then you can
perform an active miasmatic idiosyncratic Case Taking.
110
It was Kent that continued this work of Hahnemann. He managed to
identify certain Chronic Idiosyncrasies not only at the state of Acute
Illness but also at the state of Chronic Illness/Clinical Health. Although
he classified many remedies as deep and long acting and other as short
acting he never managed to grasp the differentiation between Chronic
Remedies/Idiosyncrasies that correspond to Chronic Illness and Acute
Remedies/Idiosyncrasies that correspond to Acute Illness.
I was truly inspired by Kent, both by his Philosophy and by his Materia
Medica. I find his Repertory very useful in Acute Illness and very useful
for the study of Idiosyncrasies. Nevertheless, its use in Chronic Illness
especially in the method of Repertorising has done a great damage to
Idiosyncratic Diagnosis.
111
satisfying psychological profile of Chronic Idiosyncrasies are not
included. A third source of mistakes is the numerous entries of
homeopathic remedies that shouldnt be considered as so since they
dont correspond in any naturally existing Acute or Chronic Illness; they
are merely Proving Pictures, i.e. Artificial Illness.
The next step is to search the rubrics of Repertory. You will find out that
for each rubric there are dozens of corresponding remedies. In addition,
the proposed remedies differ from Repertory to Repertory and so differs
the evaluation. Another thing is that you may find the same remedy as
capital in opposite symptoms.
For example, you will find Rhus Toxicodendron in capital degree both in
back pain, motion, during and in back pain, motion ameliorates. If
112
you dont know the real nature of Rhus Toxicodendron you will be
confused.
The first problem is that not all entries of symptoms are valid since such
Expert Systems include data from many Repertories of different authors
that have different proposals for the same symptom and in addition
different evaluation for the degree of proposed remedy. Lets assume that
homeopathic doctor took a detailed case taking and evaluated symptoms
correctly and now its time to put these symptoms into the System for
search. So what? Youll have an endless printout of rubrics and proposed
remedies without rational evaluation.
Even those Expert Systems that claim that they do rational evaluation
they end up in failure because Human Psyche is an abyss that cannot be
limited into manmade stupid and heartless dictionaries or computers.
The same is also true about Human Physical Pathology. No machine can
113
ever replace human intelligence that originates from Individual Psyche
and from its resonance with the Psychic World and not from the brain.
Furthermore, in Homeopathy you dont have to do with isolated
symptoms of a malfunctioning machine but you have to do with a
suffering, intelligent human being, with an individualized entity.
Lets say that you have noted down all his physical and psychological
symptoms during this Acute Illness and that in addition you have also
included his general physical characteristics and his psychological
characteristics during the previous State of Clinical Health/Chronic
Illness. Since the symptoms of Acute Illness outnumber characteristics of
Chronic Illness you will end up prescribing Belladonna or Aconitum or
Arsenicum for Acute Illness. You wont prescribe Lycopodium after the
Acute Illness has passed, which is the remedy that suits Chronic Illness.
114
Doctors based on this method tend to hunt such symptoms and thus let
aside the whole of the patient. If the image you have in your mind about a
certain idiosyncrasy isnt the whole and the essence of it and instead the
image is a bunch of Key Notes, then you have lost the whole. Thats the
reason why this method ends up in unacceptable, not to say stupid kinds
of practice that I see every day in patients coming to me from other
doctors like: cries all the time give her Pulsatilla, aversion sex give her
Sepia, motion ameliorates give Rhus Toxicodendron, fastidious give
Nux Vomica, wants feet out of bed in winter give Sulphur, etc.
115
116
Natrum Muriaticum is a relative to Sepia idiosyncrasy. It can also
develop a state of aversion sex. However, there are very important
differences if we focus on the person and not on the symptom. Natrum
Muriaticum is usually a person with normal energy and increased desire
for sex and emotional exchange although she tends to be very
conservative and very shy in regard to sexual matters.
Many times, women that havent had a relation for months or years
develop a state of no desire for sex, yet, this isnt, by no means, a case
of aversion sex! Is it now clear how important is to evaluate the degree
of any symptom accurately? Is it also clear how tremendously important
is not to focus on the key-symptom but on the person that lies behind it?
117
-Nevertheless, Key-Note Prescribing is widely practiced even by doctors
who claim to practice Classical Homeopathy. Recently I happen to read a
magazine of a well known Homeopathic Medical Association. It had a
standard column called Case Report. The doctor made a presentation
of the case by giving to the readers a few Key notes and a few other
capital(grade 3) and italic(grade 2) symptoms. These were the clues
and the reader was called to reach a homeopathic diagnosis!
Well, I say that this isnt Homeopathy! This is a grocery shop from which
if you buy two or three kinds of meat and five vegetables then you
certainly have a Hungarian goulash, i.e. meat and vegetables soup! For
Gods sake! Is this Homeopathy? Is this Medicine? Is this Science?
If you follow the above homeopathic rule you may end in ten different
idiosyncrasies. Thats the reason why you may have the same patient
examined successively by ten different Key Note Prescribing doctors
and they may end up in five different prescriptions. Moreover, these
prescriptions are usually wrong or they may be similar to Acute Illness
and not to Chronic Illness.
118
-I dont know what to say! I just cant believe that so many homeopathic
doctors practice Homeopathy in this way!
-Let me remind you of a certain case analysis during your training. There
was that woman patient with love disappointment who had come to me
from another homeopathic doctor. That doctor was a colleague of mine.
He had the same training as I, yet after years of practice he adopted KeyNote Prescribing. So, he prescribed Ignatia according to the Key-Note
saying Love Disappointment, give Ignatia or Natrum Muriaticum! Yet,
as I have proved to you, she was a clear typical case of Lachesis,
something that you, yourselves have guessed even from the beginning of
the presentation.
119
results. Consequently, they proceed to new Provings using the most rare
or complex chemical compounds or the most rare plants or animal
products. They go as far as using all possible disease products for the cure
of corresponding diseases or for the cure of new arbitrary Miasms
founded by their vivid imagination.
All these, usually are mere desperate efforts to fill in the blanks of their
therapeutic deficiency. In the majority of cases, this effort leads to
thousands of Proving Pictures that are merely laboratory poisoning; i.e.
Artificial Illness that hasnt got any corresponding, naturally existing,
similar Clinical Picture.
When we apply the Law of Similarity we should always bear in mind that
it doesnt refer only to Acute Illness and symptoms but to the whole and
this definitely includes Chronic Illness/State of Clinical Health of the
individual, the emphasis focused on miasmatic and idiosyncratic
characteristics. Unfortunately, nowadays, many bright and honest
homeopathic doctors are lost and disappointed in the labyrinth of
Repertory and the wrong methods of Repertorising, Key-Note Prescribing
and Computer Expert Systems.
120
This was done for three reasons. The first reason is that Money and
Glory spoil people the second reason is that Money and Glory spoil
people and the third reason is that Money and Glory spoil people
-(laughing)
-Whenever you create Associations and Centers and Schools that
become the hen that lays golden eggs and if you are a syphilitic person
characterized by dominance and vanity you want people to remain under
your control or under your shadow. So, your educational system and your
professional system creates dependent submissive students that praise
your name, that are in need of your well paid seminars and that are in
need of your Computer Expert Systems, etc.
This isnt only the case of X. So many students of him replicated his
system of manipulation in order to become caliphs instead of Caliph.
They opposed the original master and created their own School
claiming that now they were the ones possessing absolute truth! So,
nowadays, we have many great masters and many dependent, semiblind students that follow this or that School.
Let me remind you of what I have told you again and again, a thousand
times. Universal Law of Truth says that you possess that quantity and
quality of Truth corresponding to your moral and psychic evolution; not
more, not less. If you fall so does your wisdom!
Some other desperate ones find relief and comfort to Disease Oriented
Materia Medica, the so called Homeopathic Therapeutics. For example
121
they go to the rubric Pneumonia and try to find what remedy has the
similar to their patients disease clinical picture.
The first problem is that you are based on the arbitrary allopathic concept
of Disease instead of founding your research on the whole individual and
on Illness. The second problem is that there are so many remedies and
resembling pictures that you get lost. The third problem is that many of
these pictures correspond to Acute Remedies and not to Chronic while
the majority corresponds to Proving Pictures that dont correspond to
naturally existing illness/idiosyncrasies/remedies.
122
-I am surprised by all these especially from what you say that most
homeopathic doctors practice the method of Repertorising. What about
their therapeutic results?
-You must take in consideration that things are severely screwed when
you apply Repertorising for Chronic Illness. In the case of Acute Illness
things arent so bad. So, these doctors have some considerable results in
the treatment of Acute Illness/Acute Diseases or in relapses of Chronic
Diseases. Most of the times, these results are better than the results of
Allopathy and with the great advantage of no side effects on the part of
Homeopathy. So, the patient is pleased and says: Homeopathy really
works!
However, such a Repertorising doctor may treat a patient for years with
considerable results in Acute Diseases yet his Chronic Predispositions
wont be cured and his psychological state may remain unaltered. Have
you noticed that whenever a patient treated by other homeopathic doctors
comes to me I always ask him: Have your diseases improved? Do they
keep coming back? What about your psychological state? Has it also
improved?
Many failures also come from the following method of treatment. The
homeopathic doctor prescribes the similar idiosyncratic remedy and the
patient improves significantly for some months. Then he starts
deteriorating and instead of prescribing the remedy that is now similar to
the patient, the doctor repeats the same remedy again and again since it
helped the patient in the past.
For example, the patient was a Sulphur individual in the beginning and
Sulphur 1M helped him a lot for some months. Then, due to
circumstances, the patient started being influenced by another
idiosyncrasy, i.e. Argentum Nitricum or Lycopodium or Phosphor. If you
keep prescribing Sulphur 1M there will be no improvement.
123
Often, the doctor makes a more severe mistake. He has heard about
Herrings Law, he misinterprets it and starts prescribing with short
intervals Sulphur 10M, Sulphur 50M and so on. Or he may give Sulphur
1M quite frequently, lets say every week or even every day! If the
patient is sensitive then he may develop a Pharmaceutical Proving of
Sulphur as I have explained to you and as it is explained in details in the
book Incidents during Homeopathic Treatment.
In some other cases the doctor prescribes a relative remedy instead of the
similar one. For example the patient is an Argentum Nitricum subject and
the doctor prescribes Sulphur. Due to relative nature the prescribed
remedy does a palliation but not a cure. Then the doctor says to himself:
He did well; this is his simillimum! I will repeat Sulphur whenever his
state relapses!
This wrong impressions and notions are imposed to the patients by those
homeopathic doctors that practice Repertorising. The therapeutic results
of this method are poor and Homeopathic Diagnosis seems so difficult.
Moreover, some doctors believe that theres only one similar remedy for
any patient for life! This notion is totally wrong and totally against any
and all homeopathic laws!
124
Homeopathic Laws in Diagnosis and Treatment. Always think of Laws as
a valuable compass that can direct you to the right course and always use
your clinical experience to confirm that your course is right.
I am not saying that the picture of all Chronic Idiosyncrasies that I have
in my mind and heart are totally right or complete. Life reveals new
aspects all the time. Yet, when you have identified a Chronic
Idiosyncrasy, when you have grasped its essence then you can talk for
hours about it without the help of any book or notes.
125
Dont think that this is some kind of magic ability. Let me tell you that if
I ask you How is your close friend/relative/child/companion going to
behave in this or that situation? then you will be able to give me a
satisfying answer. This is happening because you have a very good
picture of the essence and the whole of this person in your mind and
heart. Something that can never be done ever by any Computer Expert
System!
The same is true when you read the book of a foreign writer either of the
same era or of a past era. If you focus on Primary Behavior you can
always identify Idiosyncrasies but if you focus on Secondary Behavior
you may get lost. Since Miasmatic Idiosyncratic Homeopathy helps you
get acquainted primarily with Primary Behavior you can always see
deeper and sort things out.
126
If you turn Homeopathy into zodiac gossiping in the form of weeps so
give her Pulsatilla, aversion sex so give her Sepia (Key-Note
Prescribing) then all magic is gone and all therapeutic results are gone.
Let me remind you that we have dealt with Repertorising only for an hour
or so at the last lecture of a series of 25 two-hour lectures. In fact, we
talked about Repertorising for Acute Illness only, and moreover, we
spend much time in criticizing its use in Chronic Illness.
127
idiosyncratic characteristics, psychological profile and general physical
symptoms.
Less frequent and important Chronic Idiosyncrasies were left last. I never
described any Acute Idiosyncrasy to you, as you well remember. I just
told you that you could read all about it in Kents Materia Medica where
they are prescribed pretty well.
128
Truth is often bitter yet at the same time is liberating! Its bitter because it
unmasks our delusions and it forces us to change. On the other hand,
Truth is liberating because it brings us back to reality. In Science it is
only by dealing with reality that we can have therapeutic results. Theres
no other way!
The closer we are to Truth, the closer we are to Reality, the closer we are
to Balance, Health and Happiness, the closer we are to God. The farther
we are from Truth the closer we are from Delusion, the closer we are to
Imbalance, Illness and Misery, the farther we are from God.
129
of homeopathic doctors of a tremendous burden and would make their job
easier and more effective.
130
5. Decrease of Chronic Predispositions
6. Decrease of Miasmatic and Idiosyncratic Influences
7. Reduced Hereditary Burden to descendants
Its obvious that any therapeutic result depends also on many individual
factors like: Degree of Chronic Predispositions, severity of anatomical
lesions and functional disorder, state of Etheric Body, way of life,
previous chemical pharmaceutical treatments, previous surgery, positive
thinking and attitude, moral attitude, present actions, family and social
environment, etc.

EPILOQUE
Some readers of this book could be disappointed not only from the state
of Medicine nowadays but also from the state of Homeopathic Practice. I
can understand their reaction since most of homeopathic doctors, despite
their good intentions, are lost while using wrong homeopathic methods
of prescribing.
However, I believe that I have long ago got over the delusion that, all of a
sudden, Medicine and Homeopathy will radically become rational,
natural and effective. That would presuppose the sudden, radical change
of Humanity from delusion and disorder to truth and order. Whenever we
attempt to generalize from the individual level to the social level,
delusion sneaks in. If a doctor surrenders to such social delusions then he
will usually develop a Messianic Syndrome.
133
Consequently, each doctor must try to become a better doctor and each
patient must try to choose a better therapeutic system and a better doctor
in order to stop being a patient.
Moreover, doctors and patients, should actively adopt a more natural way
of living at all levels of existence, out of a holistic point of view, in order
to become more healthy and more happy; closer to Nature and closer to
God!
