Sankaran Analysis for RADAR and EH

Rajan Sankaran, MD Since this download depends heavily on the concept of miasms, I thought it necessary to incorporate a summary of the miasms. What follows is 1. A short summary of each miasm 2. A chart explaining various aspects of each miasm 3. The key words of the miasm For a detailed understanding of miasms the reader can refer to my books, The Substance of Homoeopathy and The System of Homoeopathy. This work should not be looked upon as a final word, but as an evolutionary process. It must also be remembered that a remedy belonging to a particular miasm will have qualities of the miasm before and after it. Many remedies are absent from this categorization because I was not sure where to place them and had no clinical experience. This fact must be kept in mind when using this material. Please keep in touch with updates to this work, either through wholehealthnow.com or through my website, www.thespiritofhomoeopathy.com The Miasmatic Spectrum
Acute (Aco.) Panic Typhoid (Bry) Critical Psora (Sulph) Psorinum Struggle Malaria (Chin) Ringworm (Calc-s) Ringworm Trying Sycosis (Thuja) Medorrhinum Fixity Cancer (Nit-ac) Carcinosinum Perfection Tubercular (Calc-p) Bacillinum Change Leprosy (Secale) Leprominium Isolation Syphilis (Merc) Syphilinum Destruction

-- Short Summaries -Acute miasm: The feeling is of an acute threat and the reaction is strong and instinctive. Some remedies: Aconitum, Belladonna, Stramonium, Veratrum-album, Arnica, Croton-tig, Chocolate Note: I had earlier classified Hyoscyamus as belonging to the acute miasm. With my further work on miasms I have classified it as a typhoid miasm remedy. Typhoid miasm: The feeling is that of a critical situation which, if properly handled for a critical period, will end in total recovery. The reaction is an intense struggle against it. Some remedies: Bryonia, Nux vomica, Rhus-tox, Chamomilla, Hyoscyamus, Baptisia, Paris-q, Nux-m

Psora: The feeling is that of a difficult situation where one has to struggle in order to succeed. There is anxiety with doubts about his ability, but he is hopeful and failure does not mean the end of the world. He must struggle in order to recover or maintain his position. Some remedies: Sulphur, Psorinum, and Lycopodium. (Note: I didn't find any plant remedies that fit my definition of the psoric miasm. I also found that the plant remedies that were previously thought to be psoric, for e.g. Nux-v, Bry, fit very well in to the typhoid, ringworm and malarial miasms, and therefore I classify them as such. I believe that my classification of miasms has replaced the previous three, and the so-called psoric remedies have been placed in the newer miasms.) Malarial miasm: There is an acute feeling of threat that comes up intermittently, in phases, between which there is an underlying chronic, fixed feeling of being deficient. This miasm is characterized by sudden, acute manifestations that come up from time to time, followed by periods of quiescence. Some remedies: Berb-v, Capsicum, Cina, China, Colocynthis, and Spigelia. Ringworm miasm: It is characterized by an alternation between periods of struggle with anxiety about success, and periods of despair and giving up. Some remedies: Calcarea sulphurica, Calcarea Silicata, Magnesium sulphuricum, Teucrium, Sarsaparilla, Dulcamara, Taraxacum. Sycosis: The feeling is that there is a fixed, irremediable weakness within the self. The action is to attempt to cope with it and hide it from others; hence he covers it up with egotism, compulsive acts, is very secretive, etc. Some remedies: Copaiva, Medorrhinum, Mangifera, Pulsatilla, Sabadilla, and Thuja. Cancer miasm: There is a feeling of weakness and incapacity within, and the need to perform exceedingly well and live up to very high expectations. The reaction is a superhuman effort, stretching himself beyond the limits of his capacity. It is continuous, prolonged struggle which seems to have no end. His survival depends on it, for failure would mean death and destruction. Some remedies: Anacardium, Anhalonium, Bellis-per, Carcinosinum, Nitricum acidum, Argentum nitricum, Ignatia, and Staphysagria.

Tubercular miasm: The feeling is of intense oppression and a desire for change. The reaction is intense, hectic activity in order to break free from this oppression. Some remedies: Abrotanum, Acalypha-indica, Agraphis, Tuberculinum, Drosera, Calcarea p., Balsum-p. Leprosy miasm: The feeling is of intense oppression, intense hopelessness, isolation and an intense desire for change. Some remedies: Secale, Hura, Ocimum-s, Aloe, Cicuta, Mandragora. Syphilis: The feeling is that he is faced with a situation beyond salvage, leading to complete hopelessness and despair. In a desperate effort, he tries to change the situation and the result is usually destruction. Some remedies: Mercurius solubilis, Syphilinum, Aurum metallicum, Baryta carbonica, Hoang-nan, Leptandra, Echinacea, Clematis erecta.
