Thetheory was formulated in 1994 and is being enriched ever since.An initial observationconcerning
the number of fixations according to psychoanalytic theory and the number of miasms mentioned by
Hahnemann was made in 1990. then it was realized that what psychoanalysts called anal character
corresponded to Hahnemanns sycotic type. Later the tubercular miasm was correlated to oedipal
fixation and the syphilitic one to oral fixation. The psoric miasm was correlated with the process of
repressionandtheconstrictionofconsciousness.

The next correlation was made with Paracelsus three categories of diseases. Diseases of sulfur were

An homeopath can readily understand why they were correlated in this way, since according to
Hahnemann,sulfuristhekingofantipsoricmiasmsandmercurythekingofantisyphiliticones.

Later on, the the four humours of Hippocrates drew our attention. The key to correlation was the
informationthatthetubercularmiasmisacombinationofthepsoricandthesyphiliticmiasm,asitwas
examined together with the Hellenic term melancholia, Melancholia is the disease of black bile
certainly corresponded to the syphilitic miasm as melancholy is a grave syphilitic state. Yellow bile
corresponded to the tubercular miasm. The hypothesis that phlegm corresponded with sycosis and
blood with psora were only initial hypotheses which could only be such as there was no clinical
evidence.

WhenJawahar Shah came to Hellas and lectured on miasms, he presented a miasm theory based on a
stimulusresponse model, resembling Pavlovs model. This is how the idea that there could exist a

yielded the following: weak inhibited syphilitic, strong excitabletubercular, placid balancedsycotic,

Plato and Saint Gregorius of Nyssa had also written about the four elements, each with a different
terminology,though.
