It is very important for a
Homoeopathic Physician to
thoroughly understand the
Classification of Diseases
by Dr. Hahnemann and to
identify the disease condition
presented by his patient before
he attempts to cure him.

Acute Diseases
(IN MY OPINION)
• All are acute manifestations of Chronic
Diseases.
• Microorganisms can produce disease
conditionally only.
• This conditioning is done by Miasms.
• They are no separate entities.
• The influence of the Miasms is visible
in the onset and development of
the acute diseases.

ACUTE DISEASES
(Reflections by Dr. C.J.Varghese )
Recovery or death varies from individual to individual
depending on Miasms.
Triggered by different causative factors- internal or / and
external .
Development is always under the influence of the Miasms.
Every individual is coded with a particular combination of
Miasms.
It determines the susceptibility.
It decides the nature of development and progress.
One of the episodes among whole process of development
of disease.
Complications and Prognosis decided by Miasms.
27-4-08 SAHYA 25
In the process of infection,
mere contact with organisms
does not involve any Miasm
Infection is the
establishment of a colony of
disease producing
microorganisms.
Nature of the organisms,
period of their existence,
nature of their adverse
activities, involvement of the
tissues, return to recovery or
decline or death etc. all
conditioned by Miasms.
27-4-08 SAHYA 26
• All complications or sequelle are
due to wrong and unscientific
(including wrong Homoeopathic)
treatments.
• Nature of the complication or
sequelle decided/determined by
Miasms.
• Many treat chronic diseases as
‘acutes’ out of ignorance or
negligence.
• I would like to treat ‘acute
diseases’ as ‘chronic’.

If Opium Constitution is affected by
stronger dynamic influences, it will
bring about temporary change in the
basic constitutional picture in terms of
activity, thermals and thirst and will be
giving rise to a picture either of Aconite
or Ant Tart or Belladona or Bryonia or
Hyoscyamus or Nux vom or Nux mosch
which are in relation with Opium.
27-4-08 SAHYA 38
This may occur if and only
if Opium picture changes,
which is not a must.
That means, sometimes,
the same picture of
Opium can come up then
another dose of Opium
will help to manage the
