HI Pete and Anna,
Thanks fror your discussion. Certainly made me reflect some more on miasmatic blocks in patients. The good thing today is that Mercury Amalgams are much less used than in the past. But then miasmatic toxicity from numerous other sources has definitely not let up!!
Anna, I'd be interested to know more about what you meant when you metioned the following below. Would you oblige? I would be most grateful. Basically I would like to understand this from a therapeutic perspective.
"About Hahnemann's view of treating poisoned cases, from Chronic Diseases pp.115-6 I think the idea is if the poisoning has gone further than to cause dynamic change, and has caused organic transformation, then homoeopathic treatment of the psora can only be an adjunct to a system of restful living aimed at supporting the vitality as it attempts to throw off the effects of poisoning.
This being so, it makes some sense that there are non-antipsorics listed by Boenninghausen for the treatment of mercury poisoning provided it has caused only dynamic changes, not organic ones".
Pete, You mentioned the use of Psorinum and Hepar Sulph as antimiasmatic. Do you have specific indications for using them? Why not Sulphur, or even Merc itself? Thank in advance.
Warm regards,
Doctorleela
