DIAGNOSIS

• NATURE CHARACTER OF DISEASE
• CLINICAL HISTORY
• GROUPING OF SIGNS SYMPTOMS

3
CLINICAL HISTORY

• Symptoms presented
• Origin Evolution
• Factors influencing
• Immunological
• Climate environment
• Nutritional
• Metabolic
• Infections
• Genetic

4
CLINICAL HISTORY

• 4.Physical Findings
• Objective Evidence of Disease
• 5.Investigations
• General
• Special

5
TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS

• 1. Numerical - Chaotic
• 2. Logical - Portrait Producing
• Expressive of an Idea
• Diagnostic
• Therapeutic

6
IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS

• 1.Prognosis
• 2. General Management
• 3. Treatment on Conventional Line
• 4. Scientific knowledge of Disease

7
DIAGNOSIS IN HOMOEOPATHY

• Individual Diagnosis-
• Reflects the inner ESSENCE of the sick person
• Based on the Therapeutic Totality

8
IMPORTANCE OF EVALUATION OF SYMPTOMS

• To identify the symptoms that constitute the
  Therapeutic Totality

9
HAHNEMANN

• General symptoms ( Vague, Ill-defined )
• Uncommon (Characteristic )

10
J.T.KENT

• General
• Mental General
• Physical General
• Particular
• Grade I
• Grade II
• Common Vague, Ill-defined

RICHARD HUGHES

• Selection of SIMILIMUM
• Generic Similarity
• General Character of Disease

12
RICHARD HUGHES

• Selection of SIMILIMUM
• 2. Specific Similarity
• Seat of Action
• Kind of Action
• Character of Pains Sensations
• Originating Cause
• Concomitants

13
RICHARD HUGHES

• Selection of SIMILIMUM
• 3. Individual Similarity
• Constitution Temperament
• Mental Moral State
• Conditions of lt gt
• Time of lt gt
• Side Affinity

14
HughesScientific Knowledge of Disease

• Phenomenon -The side of the Disease turned
• towards the physician
• Noumenon The side of the Disease
• explained by Pathology
  Morbid Processes
• Every Phenomenon should have a corresponding
  Noumenon

15
J.H.ALLEN

• Hahnemann did not reject Pathology, but he put
  it where it belonged as a part of the great
  whole, in the pyramid of Symptomatology
• Pathology is the finished work of the perverted
  Life action.
• Something behind Pathology little deeper in the
  Organism.
• Hahnemannian Pathology is base on the concept of
  Chronic Miasms.

16
J.H.ALLEN

• Miasm the Dynamis behind
• Pathology
• Acting Miasm decides the true Pathognomonic
  Symptoms
• Every Phenomenon determined by the action of a
  Miasm or a combination of Miasms
• Manifestations of Miasms expressed first in Mind,
  then in the physical plane ( Functional)
  finally in pathological plane ( Structural
  ,Organic )

17
STUART CLOSE

• A true science of pathology must include
  explain all the symptoms of a disease, the finer
  subjective individual symptoms as well as the
  general functional organic and objective changes
  that occur in disease. Only a miasmatic study of
  disease can readily explain the whole disease
  Phenomenon Noumenon.

18
MIASMATIC DIAGNOSIS

• Miasm is the fundamental, constitutional,
  pathological state of the individual- the
  predisposition to certain specific illnesses. The
  pathogenic Dynamis occurs in 3 directions
•     
• Inflammation
•        Proliferation
• Destruction

19
MIASMATIC DIAGNOSIS

• Alterations in cellular functions - 3 types
• Deficiency
• Excess
• Perversion

20
Basic Miasmatic Expressions

• PSORA
• CriteriaDeficiency, Inhibition, Lack, Absence,
  and Scantiness
  HypoAtrophy,Anaemia,
  Ataxia,Anorexia
• Hypo immunity Hypersensitivity
• Key word Irritation
• Physical Itching,
  Hypersensitive to agents
• Mental -Fear
• Anxiety,Alertness,
  Apprehension

21
Basic Miasmatic Expressions

• SYCOSIS
• Criteria Hyper Hypertrophy, Hyperplasia,
  Hyper-sexuality, workaholics
• Key words Inco-ordination
• Physical - in development proliferation or
  excess.
• E.g. Tumors,Warts,Growths
• Mental in sensorium comprehension. E.g.
  Flight of ideas, Absentmindedness

22
Basic Miasmatic Expressions

• SYPHILIS
• Criteria Dys Irregularity
• Key words Destruction Degeneration
• Physical Ulceration, Pus formation,
  Necrosis
• Mental Perversion Suicidal tendency,
  Perverted sexuality,
• Perverted cravings

23
Basic Miasmatic Expressions

• Tubercular

        
Criteria Alternation constipation
diarrhoea          Periodicity 7th day
headache          One-sidedness Insomnia,
Migraine          Ill-defined symptoms         
Haemorrhages
24
Basic Miasmatic Expressions

• Tubercular
• Key words Dis-satisfaction
• Physical Food, Sex
• Mental Changeable mentality
• Not satisfied with present
  affairs
• Vagabond mentality- cannot
  stay at one place, must travel

25
Miasmatic Concept ORTEGA

• Miasmatic Totality the real Signature of the
  Sick
• Miasmatic combinations make the situation more
  complex

26
Miasmatic Concept ORTEGA

• Biotyping
• Individual characteristics Personality Traits
  determined by Miasms
• E.g. Psora Slow, Passive, Timid, Introvert
• Sycosis Over expression, Out-spoken,
  Extrovert
• Syphilis Mistrustful, Aggressive,
  Offending look

27
Miasmatic Concept ORTEGA

• Analogy between Miasms Colors
• Psora Blue
• Sycosis Yellow
• Syphilis Red
• Different combinations give rise to innumerable
  Constitutions Personality Traits

28
Utility of Studying Miasms

• Herring What influence can it have, whether a
  physician adopts or rejects the Psora theory, so
  long as he selects the most similar medicine
  possible?

29
Utility of Studying Miasms

• A more confident prescribing
• An intelligent warfare
• Prognosis
• Selection of the most similar remedy necessitates
  knowledge of Acting Basic Miasms.
• Disease Phenomena related to existing Miasm

30
Utility of Studying Miasms

• Primary Miasmatic Symptoms lead the Totality
• Miasmatic remedy hits the Prima Causa Morbi
• Change of plan of Treatment
• Open up a case in One-sided Disease

31
WORLD OF MULTIPLE SUPPRESSIONS

•      Physical
•   Emotional       
• Conjoint
•       Allopathic malpractice
•      Homoeopathic malpractice
•       Vaccinosis Serum therapy

32
Layers of Suppression

• Chronic Miasmatic Disease compared with a Lotus
  Flower
• Outermost petal reflects the surface miasm

33
Miasmatic Treatment

• Surface miasm consists of presenting
  manifestations corresponding miasmatic symptoms
• Layer by layer can be removed sequentially
• Deeper layers become manifest when the outer
  layer is removed

34
Relation between Disease Diagnosis Miasmatic
Diagnosis

•  v      Disease Diagnosis depends on knowledge of
  Pathology
• Nature of Pathology is determined by the
  underlying Miasmatic complex

35
CONCLUSION

• q       Disease Diagnosis
• Miasmatic Diagnosis are
• positively co-related
