MIASM CODES
The concept of a miasm developed prior to an understanding of microbes as a cause of disease.
The word miasm was first used by Hippocrates as a “fault or a taint” in water or air as a cause for the transmission for certain diseases.
Miasms described by Hahnemann are infectious principles or agents that are passed from one generation to another. Transmission is vertical, from parent to child, not lateral as in contagion such as in measles. He described two broad categories of miasms: venereal and non-venereal. In the venereal category Hahnemann listed fig wart and chancre. In the non-venereal category he included psora or “itch” and tuberculinum. We now classify fig wort as Condyloma accuminata, a growth associated with the Human Papilloma Virus; chancre is due to Treponema pallidum or syphilis. Psora, obtained from fluid from a scabies cyst is associated with the Sarcoptes scabiei, the acarus mite; tuberculinum is associated with Mycobacteria.
There are other miasmatic agents than those described by Hahnemann. These include various bacteria, some viruses and fungi, and non-infectious agents like drugs, chemicals and biologicals. Any agent that can be identified in successive generations in which direct exposure can be ruled out should be considered a “miasm” from an electrodermal standpoint.
An example of vertical transmission is congenital syphilis. In this case one of the parents is infected with either a classical spirochete or or a variant cell wall deficient form (CWD) of it.
This commonly undetectable variant of Treponema pallidum may also cross the placenta to produce an attenuated form of syphilis, giving a clinical picture of a syphilitic miasm rather than a classical picture of congenital syphilis. I will discuss the concept of a polythetic class of bacteria below. In my database, the signal for syphilis is the most frequent and widespread of all the signals. Almost none of those tested had a history of being diagnosed with syphilis. One of the interesting features of syphilis is that it is very frequently difficult to see a spirochete in a microscopic slide from a chancre, the skin lesion of syphilis. The same is true for another spirochete, Borrella burgdorferi. It is rare to find a spirochete in the area of erythema (bull’s eye) or from draining lymph nodes in a case of Lyme disease. Morphologic changes occur in both spirochetes making their spiral configuration unrecognizable by microscopy. They become cell wall deficient.
There are three types of cells:
Cells that classically have an intact cell wall: coccus, bacillus or spirillum or filament
Cells that have complete or partial absence of a cell wall (CWD). They form large budding yeast-like forms, discharging cysts, budding or branching filamnents, balloons with sprouting rhizoids, syncitia or sheets.
Cells with no cell wall: protoplasts. These cells have a different DNA than the CWD’s without a cell wall.
CELL WALL DEFICIENT FORMS (CWD)
Native bacteria and fungi have an intact cell walls but they may become cell wall deficient (CWD) when the cell wall is partially or completely removed.
Cell wall deficient forms are also known as L-Forms” (Lister Institute) named by Kleineberger-Nobel; “L-phase” or “Spheroplasts”. Most bacteria and many fungi can be induced to become cell wall deficient by changing their microenvironment, such as the oxygen content in which they are growing, temperature, pH, and electrolyte concentrations, types of amino acids and by bacteriocins (toxic molecules produced by some bacteria) and by exposure to chemical toxins including antibiotics.
Once bacteria or fungi are transformed into CWD’s their morphology, metabolism, and staining characteristics are changed. Even the pathogenicity of the organism may be changed.
In this form the organism may not be recognizable by the usual methods of detection. They may form slender branching filaments with buds of various sizes and locations or they may form sheets.
Colony appearance, sensitivity to penicillin, nutrient requirements and biochemical activities vary from species to species.
As mentioned before,two microbes that readily transform into cell wall deficient forms are the spirochetes Treponema pailidum and Borrelia burgdorferi, the causes for syphilis and Lyme borreliosis respectively. Instead of spirochetes being identified in a chancre of syphilis or in the skin or the lymph nodes of borreliosis, granular structures, mycelia or large bodies are found. With special techniques these unusual structures may be made to revert to their parental spirochete form.
Reversion can also take place naturally, but it is rarely a complete reversion.
The recognition that bacteria can be transformed into cell wall deficient forms and that they may revert to their parental forms implies that bacteria may have more than one morphologic form-they are pleomorphic .They undergo developmental changes and adapt to environmental changes Only in one stage is the organism monomorphic, a classic rod, coccus, or spirillum.
Each of the pleomorphic forms may be produce a disease that may or may not be exactly the same as that of the parent organism.1
Each pleomorphic cell wall deficient forms belong to a Polythetic Class, a category or class that is defined in terms of a broad set of criteria. One part of the set is neither necessary nor sufficient to define the entire set. Each member of the category must possess a certain minimal number of defining characteristics, but none of the features has to be found in each member of the category.
See a graphic illustration of a polythetic class in my journal entry on Taxonomy of viruses and other critters-fuzzy sets and hazy boundaries by van Ragenmortel.2 He illustrates the polythetic nature of viruses and demonstrates that viruses are more diverse than one would think by depending on morphology alone. This concept helped me to understand why we see changing electromagnetic changes in signals for species of microbes during sequential testing while signals for the genus of the organism remain the same. With the influenza virus there are “shifts” and “drifts in the type of flu that occurs from year to year implying a developmental or an environmental adaptation of this polythetic virus. See my log, An Overview of Influenza.

ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPRINTING
Electromagnetic imprinted information in biological water of the parent is another way of transferring information from one generation to the next.
There are two types of imprinting, one is biological, and the other is computer based. In the first case, organisms living in a host have electromagnetic fields (auras) that extend into the surrounding host structures producing an electromagnetic field effect in those structures.
A good example is the effect that Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) has on its host. This helminth produces intense pruritis ani (anal itching) in children. Generally, in adolescence and in adulthood, the pinworm is no longer present but, in some instances, the pruritis persists. This implies that there was a residual effect from the pinworm that causes itching in the tissue adjacent to its nesting site. Since all tissue contains water, there is a strong probability that the electromagnetic field of the pinworm has been imprinted in the water of the mucosa, the fibrous connective tissue or in the nerves of the surrounding area. This may be an electromagnetically induced cause of the pruritis even though the pinworm is no longer there. The possibility that the pruritis is an electro magnetic effect is strengthened by the relief of the symptoms of pruritis after an electromagnetically induced solution of Enterobius vermicularis is applied to the tongue.
A homeopathic remedy made from Enterobius vermicularis is another way to treat this type of pruritis. It is called isopathy because it is made from the helminth Enterobius vermicularis. This isonosode has a signal equal to Enterobius vermicularis, the cause of the pruritis. The homeopathic iso-nosode is an equilium of Enterobius vermicularis.
The electromagnetically imprinted signal acts like the signal for native Enterobius vermicularis. Equiliums are not the same as Hahnemann’s similimums. Similimums are expressions of the totality of symptoms that are similar to the disease for which it was being used to treat. Electromagnetically the signal for a similimum signal can also be detected at sites expressed by the disease.
Occasionally, miasms can be detected at TW 20, the Hypothamic Detection Site. Since they have a conductance effect at the Hypothalamus Site, they exhibit a constitutional effects.
Typically, Constitutional signals are found at TW 20 although I had a case of thyroid carcinoma that resolved with Natrum Muriaticum when tested at TW 20 the hypothalamic gland site and at the Thyroid Gland Site ST 10. She had been humiliated and falsely accused of cheating in school as a child and had low personal esteem and depression ever since. The electromagnetic signal for Natrum Muriaticum matched the Constitutional state of Natrum Muriaticum which is homeopathically used for depression and low personal esteem.
Miasms have been viewed as microbial in nature but, in my view, they may be non-microbial too. Drugs and other chemicals can be detected vertically or trans-generationally by electrodermal means.
As an example, it is not uncommon to identify a code for cocaine in children whose parents used cocaine, even though the children were not exposed.
Codes for cocaine and other recreational drugs are located at the same sites as their parents, GB 17, the Reticular Formation Site; NV 1—1, the Neurotransmitter Site, and SV 52, the Acetylcholine Receptor Site. This transfer of information from parent to the child is a biological transfer, most likely in body water of seminal fluid or vaginal fluid, spermatozoa or ova.
