Re: Ah-ha, a better understanding of "miasms"

Opinions are like a....everyone has one...

Mine is that a miasm is a toxin left behind by an infection.
So far we have code for Syphilitic Miasm and Haemophilus.B Miasms.

What makes the whole thing a little more confusing is that several branches of quackdom consider you Syph free yet all they end up doing is chasing the organism deeper into the brain or even having them go dormant.

Regardless of the mantras and anything else they tell you, no one really is sure what a miasm is. What we know for sure is that it can be treated and removed; it acts as an agitator for the disease and weakens the body against the disease, there may also be hidden actions like reducing the bodies detox mechanisms.

Perhaps it is similar to Cerebral Malaria and its Nucleic Acids left behind that make re-infection much more likely.

Certainly in the case of Syphilis or as I like to call it Lyme v 0.9, treatment without treating the miasm also is futile…
