The
World of Bacteria Nosodes and Miasms
"What I intend to
do over the weekend is to take a jaunt through the
history of bacteria, from 4 billion years ago to the present.
I'd like to look at the 'family relationships' of some bacteria - for
example Neisseria includes not only Medorrhinum, but also a
meningococcal bacterium which might be useful if the case looked like
a skewed Medorrhinum case - one with more headaches than sexual
symptoms etc.
Borrelia, Weil's disease and Syphilis are all connected by being
spirochaetes, although the symptoms are very different and the method
of transmission is different in each case. If we take Syphilis as our
'baseline' of information, we can see exactly how 'syphilitic'
Borrelia and Weil's disease are.
My information is not just homeopathic, but also clinical.
I am also interested in the many different ways of casetaking, and
the fact that we should be able to make a good prescription with the
information we have, whether it is simple observation, a Kentian-type
case, one taken using Facial Analysis, or using the Bombay method,
and even deeper, in tracking the Source Language of the case. I'd
like to show how we can track a bacterial remedy [nosode] using these
different methods.
Working over a weekend on the Bacterial Remedies, the Monera Kingdom,
means that we have to question our understanding of Miasmatic theory,
and to discuss how we use this theory or if, as with many homeopaths,
we discard it as unusable. So we have to look quite deeply at the
whole idea of disease. I know it sounds boring, but I have found
these questions fascinating, as they are the history of the human
race - and our history is ever evolving of course.
I still have more questions than answers. And I have a passion for
all the minutiae of life, whether it be bugs or bacteria! "
