2.1.2.3.a.) Pathogenesis and symptoms of syphilis:

If the organism cannot cope with a pathogen, toxin or disease despite a psoric

2.1.3.) Why is it important to recognise the miasms and to work with miasms?

·      Healing chronic diseases is much easier if the miasms are recognised and treated.

·      Only when you know which miasma is predominant will you know which miasma to treat.

·      If the patient is in the psora, the psoric symptoms are sufficient.

·      If the patient is in sycosis, we have to try to find syphilitic symptoms and connect them to the psoric
       symptoms from the past, when the patient was still psoric.

·      In the syphilitic miasm we deal with it in the same way. But here the syphilitic symptoms are
       indispensable.

·      Only if you know which miasm the patient is in can you determine whether it is a question of suppression
       (into a deeper miasm) or healing (into a more superficial miasm) during the course of the treatment. The
       healing process must go from a deeper miasm to one that is not as deep. If this happens the other way
       around, it results in suppression.
