YEs that is a commonly heald view - that the remedy in question must be dealing with the miasm. BUt that's a very superficial way of looking at the whole issue of cure over the long term.

HAve you encountered failure cases?
Have you encountered cases that improve for a while and then stop?
Have you encountered cases where there is so much of pathology that an indicated remedy does not work?
Have you encountered cases that require a change of remedy or alternating between remedies and still you're going around in circles?
HOW do we understnad these situations and how to deal with them?

Not taking the miasmatic element into case taking is wearing blinders about the scope of homeopathy as well as long term management.
It also supposes that we're going to find that one single core similimum every time that will cure the patient totally, which I think can be a simplistic idea given the myriad of Clinical Case presentations and Practitioner capabilites.
