• to explain why an appreciation of the disease process is important to understanding the Homoeopathic approach
to trauma and distress.
• To present a few remedies that can be used in an Acute situation 1. To help reduce the impact of the trauma,
and, 2. In reducing the impact it is possible to reduce the possibility of awakening the more serious and destructive
• What is perceived as the problem to be treated is generally the Tertiary expression of health, the abnormal
growth, the abnormal thoughts and or behaviours.
• If this then festers away within the organism, like a virus, until something erupts onto the surface,i.e. eczema, a
mole, a wart, an unusual discharge. the secondary phase.
• When this is ‘treated locally or removed’, the activity beneath the surface continues and will find a new way to be
expressed, which if repeatedly ‘treated’ will lead to the third stage, the abnormal structure which may be manifest
anywhere in the body or thoughts and or behaviours.

A traumatic event
• Female, 40yrs.
• Referral after another suicide attempt…. overdose.
• Case… ME for 10yrs, bed ridden for last 4. Can only go out in wheel chair.
• Numerous attempts to end life.
• Was professional dancer with international group. Initial case/story. 10 yrs earlier, Male partner had been
controlling and abusive. Eventually he told her “you will go to the devil.”. Same phrase had been hurled at her
before by 2 other men, but this was the last straw.
• Over about 6weeks of visiting, listening/talking and remedies, the story unfolded.
• At the age of 5yrs, one Monday at school, the teacher had asked who had not been to mass. Believing it was a sin
to tell a lie, she put her hand up and confessed. The teacher made her stand on a chair in front of the class, and
scolded her and said “you will go to the devil!” The child was mortified and confused. Why be punished for telling
the truth? The family had only one pair of smart shoes, so a sister had gone to mass that weekend. She could not
tell anyone, let alone her parents..
• Naturally the parents were devastated by this revelation 35yrs later.
• Several weeks later she walked into town to meet me for a coffee before I left the area.
• Last I heard she was doing well.. .10yrs ago.
•
Never been well since..Gross trauma
• Many ‘severe ailments’ seem to have had followed a traumatic event, or events.
• Subtle… from conception on…Can be inflicted by parents with their own trauma and now it
reflects that upon their children…or it can be that their own parents treated them that way. This
can go back generations…..
• The subtle traumas create the unconscious responses …produce the physical postures/gestures
and beliefs…. that they are unlovable etc
• Subtle traumas develop Insidiously ..
• NBWS
Subtle trauma in the apparently normal healthy individual
• Stress in school.
• A simple ‘error,’ such as getting cold and wet, excess alcohol, an ice cold drink,
sunburn, excessive joy etc can then trigger the silent undercurrents.
Didier Grandgeorge
• “In the beginning was the word…and the word was made flesh”
• “…in the beginning there are words, and these words are transmuted into physical illness. When
words remain unspoken, they are suppressed into the unconscious and can act like a curse
affecting several generations, as they get handed down from parent to child.”
• The reverse is also true…a physical pain, and unidentified tension etc can also lead to a change
in the mental and emotional behaviours.

• Pain provides us with a warning that we need to give attention to some bodily dysfunction;
•
• Inflammation and suppuration are the extreme manifestations of normal leucocyte function;
• Gangrene and decaying tissue, skin eruptions, perspiration, catarrhs and diarrhoeas are all
the release of waste products from normal metabolic processes;
• mental illness is the workings of the defence mechanism which tries to make sense of the childhood
conflict between the primitive impulses
and repressive education.
• Tubercular…a combination
• Cancer.. Again a combination of all the above. ..largely sycotic m
• Modern miasms/ genetic predispositions.. Radiation, drugs, etc
Each of the miasms corresponds to one of the basic functions of the body that has
become exaggerated.

be transformed by, rather than something that is attacking you that
has to be driven out.”
internal disease that appears after a skin problem has been treated!
Syphilitic..
Decay, destruction and death.
• Suppression of the ulcer leads to neurological illness, skeletal pains, vascular problems and
chronic infections of rhinopharynx.
• Self destructive behaviours. Disintegration of self, mind and body leading to Mental and Emotional distress. Inner conflicts,
the shadow side ..the greatest depths of despair into hopelessness. Continual balance between control and chaos. Mentally
Slow or underactive.
• Pains and anxieties worse Sunset to sunrise. (sycosis Better sunrise to sunset)
• Skeletal pains…the structure. Inflammation and Pains in long bones and joints.
• Distortion of nails, teeth, facial features and chronic infection.
• Kidney problems,
• Originated from gonorrhoea(sycosis) …Fig like growths all over body. Either inherited or acquired. Made worse
from suppressions, cauterisations, burning/freezing etc
• Over production; Excesses.
• The first indication the excessive catarrhal discharges. Problems round mucous membranes.
• Over the top behaviours. Fits of anger/anxiety. Cunning, Deceitful. Suspicious. Will use any means to vindicate their actions. Everything is Secret.
• Worst types of cruelty. Worst forms of mania of any miasm. Unable to collect thoughts while speaking or writing. Unable to think of appropriate word
so slowness in speech. Afraid of forgetting something; then shortly will remember what was forgotten.
• When linked with psora, basis of criminal insanity and most suicides.
• Multiple growths…on skin, catarrh and mucus problems. Heart disease, sexual diseases, urinary diseases.
Inflammatory diseases Esp. round pelvic area and joints. Chronic conjunctivitis
• Profuse discharges, ..fishy odours.
• Babies with constant snuffles; Unbelievable colic from birth to about 3months
• Babies who sleep on stomach with bum up! Crave orange juice.
• Better for breakout of warts; return of old ulcers; return of gonorrhoeal manifestations/discharges.
Sycosis ..JH Allen. The Chronic Miasms. 1900.
• “…Sycosis may be said to be the most venereal of venereal diseases….. It is a disease of lust in
the broadest sense hence the appearance of the mental phenomena early in its history..That
monarch of the mind, the Will, is overthrown. He thinks, he wills, he acts, and out of that false
triune develops the lust disease…..He at once becomes a victim of that false and disintegrative
power of the broken law and the true physiological process at that moment ceases, and a false
one is set up with in that organism.”
• “Sycosis implanted on a rich of pseudo-psora soil develops into one of the most formidable
enemies of the human race, whose destructive power and depth of action ….cannot be expressed
by any combination of words.”
•
Tubercular
• A combination of psora, syphilitic and sycotic. Now recognised as entity on its
own.
• Related to the inheritance of TB. Exhaustion, body sweats and weight loss.
• Panic attacks.
• No childhood illnesses.
• “Souls way of telling you are not doing what you should be doing.”
Modern Miasms
• Radiation/mobile phones
• Pollution
•
Later he will say home was cold and relationships distant.
•
• Historically the first 4 are milder forms of Scarlet fever, Smallpox, Polio and Diptheria respectively. Ie Chronic
diseases.
• The Acute Miasm arises when there is increased health/energy to deal with it. Usually it will be resolved of its own
accord without complications or continuing consequences.
• However there is an increase in complications and continuing consequences. With the increase in suppression of
acute disease, and with the increase in toxicity caused by modern drugs, the Life force finds it increasingly difficult
to clear out the miasmatic load .
• What is happening is the disease process is reaching deeper levels and resulting in more complicated chronic
diseases in the population as a whole.
•
Louis Detinis
• A traumatic experience can awaken one or more miasms. The stronger miasm
will overpower and combine with the Life force, utilising its energy to infiltrate
the whole organism
• Primary stage signs may be slight mental and emotional changes…or a rash, or small growth on
skin, a discharge or a slow healing open wound, ..depending on the miasm involved.
• If suppressed,
• Secondary stage; changes in function of normal processes. Additional and
abnormal growths on skin. A more prominent action of the individual miasm or
a combination with another.
• Again if suppressed.
• Tertiary action… the level that tends to get the attention. Generally when sycotic and syphilitic
• Individuality is shown in the speed of responsiveness to Remedy. Differences arise from the
underlying health. The response may be to slow down or speed up.
• Potency 30C will resonate with the GENERAL level of organism which is not compromised by any
underlying disease.
• Use 6C where process is slowed down by underlying dysfunction or in a case of structural
damage.
• My method is One pill into a small bottle of water, shake and sip till feel better.
Acutes/Flare ups
• Proper Acutes are short lived. But they Can Kill if too powerful for the LF…….
High grade fevers
• The Acute off the Chronic will last longer and would not be so intense. And
generally will be the same set of symptoms each time. This condition needs to be
treated miasmatically and not suppressed! Low grade fevers

• “Though necessary at times, medicines which remove symptoms without
removing the causes or strengthening organs or tissues, ultimately reduce health.
Invasive and toxic treatments disrupt the body and undermine biological
intelligence and integrity, contributing to the epidemic immune system failure
we are witnessing today.”
