Hi Anna (you have to know that I'm "Cha Cha" as well)

In answer to your question, I think Hahnemann and I are "on the same page" regarding our thinking on miasms and the quote you furnished.

In order to accomplish the state Hahnemann writes about, you have to be able to maintain your health.

Health does not mean "disease free, always". It means that you have the ability to undergo the process of illness and recovery in such a way that your defenses--your body's abilities to heal itself--become stronger and stronger in every way. It means that your body has the ability to undergo the process of illness and healing which involves disease, destruction, regeneration and restoration of health--in other words, the vital force continuously challenges and restores itself in order to remain fully functional and powerful.

Now...as for the curability of miasms....

I believe, as I said before, that miasms play a big role in our evolution as people, as well as our evolution as beings. If we could somehow manage to treat disease as Hahnemann suggests we should--using anti-miasmatic remedies as needed, based on our understanding of chronic disease, etc. etc., then we could evolve away from the influence of that disease as individuals as well as beings.

Consider, for a minute, Hahnemann's writing on Genus Epidemicus prescribing....

If we were to understand the concept of "epidemic", and know when an individual person were actually manifesting an illness which is part of an epidemic boundary (not necessarily geographical, but perhaps sharing the same time of occurence...even if others are suffering the disease thousands of miles away...) then we could compare the symptoms of all the known cases in the epidemic and gather case information from all the cases as if they were one patient. If we could come up with good Genus Epidemicus remedies for the epidemic disease we are seeing, and give those remedies to treat those suffering from the epidemic diseases, we then succeed in curing not only those cases in the epidemic, but also in lessening the influence of that disease on human beings in general. So, the opportunity to prescribe this way (Genus Epidemicus) actually helps to eradicate the disease...and eventually the miasmatic influence...from the planet.

This is theoretical, as even Hahnemann would admit--and as we know, we haven't had the opportunity to do this because of the overwhelming control of treatment we have to deal with that is exercised by conventional medicine--but there is reason to believe that it could work.
