Side Effects of Vaccinations
The chronic effects of modern immunization are producing three syndromes associated with brain damage, Post Encephalitic Syndrome (PES), Post Vaccinal Encephalitis (PVE), and Minimal Brain Damage (MBD). Harris Coulter documented the Post Encephalitic Syndrome (PES). It has been said that PVE has become the most common cause of encephalitis in the USA and other industrialized countries. MBD is closely associated with ADHD, the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Hyperactive children are 10 times more likely to end up in reform schools or to become felons in their later lives. They are more likely to start smoking, drinking and abusing drugs at an early age than other children. All three of these syndromes have been linked to a tremendous increase in autism, dyslexia, hyperactivity and learning disabilities since the introduction of the mandatory vaccination programs.

Four Major Responses to VaccinesVaccinosis produces four major sets of symptoms. These are autism, dyslexia, hyperactivity and neurological disorders, although they have also been associated with allergies and other hypersensitivities.
13
Autism and Autism-Like Symptoms
Autism and autism-like symptoms such as unresponsiveness to human contact, avoids direct eye contact, prefers peripheral vision; avoid proximity of people; chewing motions and grinding of teeth; confusion of the senses like auditory and visual disturbances; mutism; obsessive need to keep uniformity of environmental changes, passive states, quietness and undemanding if not disturbed but aggravated by interruption, which may cause anxiety and rage; repetitive acts and ritualistic behavior; retarded cognitive development, especially language, dysphasic speech; rocking motions; banging of the head; childhood schizophrenia;
14
Dyslexia and Dyslexia-Like Symptoms
Dyslexia and dyslexia-like symptoms like children with normal intelligence that seem to have learning disabilities; confusion of orientation of letters and numbers; difficulty telling right from left; feeling different than others, difficulty in understanding linear logic but good with seeing the overall picture.

26
Long Term Effects of Vaccines
The connection between a person’s chronic health problems and previous vaccinations is largely overlooked. However, Each vaccine has the potential to produce an insidious syndrome of symptoms somewhat similar to the diseases from which they are made. For this reason, the homœopath must study each vaccine and the target disease for a deeper understanding of the symptoms and possible remedies.

Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
There is growing resistance to antibiotic and antiseptic treatment being reported worldwide. It seems that old miasms we once thought we had conquered are returning while contemporary miasms are rapidly mutating into more dangerous forms. New miasms carried by animal hosts are crossing species lines, and infections are spreading to new areas as global warming and environmental degradation increases. At the same time, the suppression of the infectious miasms by inappropriate medicines is increasing the virulence of microorganisms and their resistance to treatment at an incredible rate. Some researchers are saying that man-made chemicals have increased the deadly power of infectious diseases in a manner that Nature by herself could not. Many predict that the development of new antibiotics will not be fast enough to keep up with the increase of resistance. At some point, the orthodox school may find itself impotent in the face of ever-increasing epidemic disorders. In the future homoeopathic remedies may be the only medicines that will work. It is essential to public health to understand how to prevent, abort and treat epidemic diseases. Homœopaths, Dare to Know!

What is Homœopathy?
• "If our school ever gives up the strict inductive method of Hahnemann, we are lost, and deserve to be mentioned only as a caricature, in the history of medicine.“
• “It is the duty of all of us to go further in the theory and practice of homœopathy than Hahnemann has done. We ought to seek the truth, which is before us and forsake the errors of the past.”

Jenner and the Smallpox Vaccination
Hahnemann was supportive of Jenner’s attempt to prevent smallpox by immunization. Hahnemann believed that the cowpox inoculation had lowered the number of smallpox cases during in his lifetime. His case histories record patients suffering side effects from Jenner’s vaccination but he thought the danger of smallpox outweighed the risks of vaccination. He stated that Sulphur could be used to lower the risks of side effects by preventing the transmission of Psora by vaccination.

Vaccinosis
Hahnemann did not write about the long term negative effects of vaccination nor speak out against the method. It was Wolf, Bönninghausen and Hering who observed that Jenner’s vaccination was causing a man-made chronic miasm. For this reason, Hahnemann’s followers began to seek remedies to remove the side effects of immunization and search for better alternatives to prevent smallpox. Today all diseases caused by immunization are called *Vaccinosis* although this word originally was used only for the vaccination against smallpox.
58
Curative Effects of Thuja in Small-pox
Bönninghausen, Wolf and Hering were very well aware of the dangers of the vaccination and actively searched for better alternatives. The Baron's first experience was his successful use of Thuja as a genius epidemicus remedy for the prevention and treatment of smallpox. He wrote about this experience in Concerning the Curative Effects of Thuja in Small-pox, which is found in Bönninghausen’s Lesser Writings.
59
Curative Effects of Thuja in Small-pox
"The decidedly favorable results caused me not only to use the same remedy with all the following small-pox patients, but to also use the same remedy in several houses where small-pox had broken out, as a prophylactic, and lo! also here the result was favorable, and no case came to my knowledge where, after using Thuja, any other member of the family had been infected.”

Variolinum
After his experiments with Thuja, Bönninghausen went on to test Hering's idea of a nosode made from the smallpox virus. This nosode is called Variolinum. He found that a nosode made from smallpox was very successful in preventing the disease. This led the Baron to say:
"Variolinum 200th is far superior to crude vaccination and absolutely safe.”
61
Different Preparation Methods
Homœopathy has no problem with the use of controlled disease exposure, which is also at the base of orthodox immunizations. Where a homœopath differs from the orthodox practitioner is in the preparation and methods of giving the medicine to the patient.

Curing Scarlatina (1801)
"Who can deny that the perfect prevention of infection from this devastating scourge, the discovery of a means whereby this Divine aim may be surely attained, would offer infinite advantages over any mode of treatment, be it of the most incomparable kind soever?" And: "The remedy capable of maintaining the healthy uninfectable by the miasm of scarlatina, I was so fortunate as to discover".
64
Cure and Prevention of Scarlet Fever (1801)
Three children in a family had succumbed to a very bad attack of scarlet fever; the eldest daughter, who had up to that time been taking Belladonna internally for some other external disease of the finger joints, was the only one who to my surprise refused to sicken with the fever, in spite of the fact that she was always the first to catch any other disease that chanced to be prevalent. After that I did not hesitate to give this providential remedy in very small doses to the remaining children of this numerous family as a preventive; but as the remarkable effect of this remedy does not last for more than three full days, I repeated the dose every seventy-two hours, and they all remained well and were not attacked in the slightest degree throughout the whole epidemic although among the most poisonous odours from their brothers and sisters, who were still suffering from the fever . . . I concluded that a remedy which can speedily cure the beginning of an illness must be its best preventive.
65
Aconite & Belladonna
Samuel Hahnemann refers to homœoprophylaxis in the 6th edition of the Organon of the Healing Art in aphorism 73, footnote 73b that discusses acute miasmic disease. Here he discusses his use of Belladonna for the prevention of scarlet fever and Aconite for preventing purpura miliaris.

Genius Epidemicus
Hahnemann is severely attacked for his use of Belladonna in the treatment of scarlet fever. However, in the year 1838 the Prussian Government ordered the doctors of the country to use Belladonna in small doses against the epidemics of scarlet fever which were very prevalent at that time.
76
1813 Typhus Outbreak
In The Chronic Diseases Hahnemann wrote that he used Bryonia and Rhus tox as specific remedies during an epidemic of acute typhus miasm in 1813. Hahnemann treated 180 cases and only lost two patients. The mortality rate of the orthodox doctors was 30%. These acute specifics represents early *genius epidemicus remedies* chosen by the totality of the symptoms of many persons suffering the same infectious disease.
77
Treatment of the Typhus or Hospital FeverIn 1814 Samuel Hahnemann publishes Treatment of the Typhus or Hospital Fever. In this work, Hahnemann describes his successes with Bryonia and Rhus toxicodendron.

On page 33 Hahnemann writes -
"--- the entire and complete image of the typhus fever reigning at the time could only be obtained by
gathering together the symptoms of all, or at least of many of these patients."

Cholera Epidemic of 1831
• Dr Quin reported that the death in 10 homeopathic hospitals were 9%
• Deaths under homeopathic treatment in Russia were <10% (Admiral Mordoinow)
• Deaths under homeopathic care in Bavaria (Dr Roth reported) 7%
80
Cholera Epidemic
In the 1830s the practice of homœopathy was illegal in Austria.
Despite being illegal, many people used homœopathy during the cholera epidemic of 1831.
Statistics show that those with cholera who tried homœopathy had a mortality rate between 2.4 to 21.1%; whereas more than 50% of those with cholera died under conventional treatment.

Cholera Epidemic in Germany
Hahnemann publishes four pamphlets for gratuitous distribution detailing the use of Camphor, Cuprum, and Veratrum for treatment of the epidemic, with recommendations for sanitation and hygiene.
The remarkable result of the use of Camphor for prevention, treatment and disinfection, and the successful use of Cuprum and Veratrum for established cases, assured the grateful recognition of Homœopathy throughout Europe.
Hahnemann ascribes the cause of the cholera to "infinitely small, invisible living organisms."
83
The Mode of Propagation of the Asiatic Cholera
On board ships… filled with mouldy watery vapours, the cholera miasm finds a favourable element for its multiplication, and grows into an enormously increased brood of those excessively minute, invisible, living creatures, so inimical to human life, of which the contagious matter of cholera most probably consists… The cause… is… composed of probably millions of those animated beings, which, at first developed on the broad marshy banks of the tepid Ganges, always searching out in preference the human being to his destruction and attaching themselves closely to him… Above all other drugs camphor possesses the property of speedily killing by its vapour the most minute animals of a low order. Consequently, it will be able to kill most speedily and to annihilate the cholera miasm.

Cholera Epidemic 1831 Austria
These figures were reported by Dr Wild –an allopathic physician ‐in the Dublin Quarterly Journal and “on account of this extraordinary result, the law interdicting the practice of homeopathy in Austria was repealed”
85
Cholera Epidemic 1854 London
Historically important epidemic ‐ it was the first time a disease outbreak was traced to a particular source – in this case a public water pump. The pump was closed & epidemic ceased. All in all 10,738 people died. The House of Commons requested a report regarding the various methods of treating the epidemic. When the report was issued, no homeopathic figures were included. The House of Lords requested an explanation, and it was admitted that if the homeopathic figures were to be included in the report, it would "skew the results’ so it was suppressed. Upon examination, the buried report revealed that under allopathic care the mortality was 59.2% while under homeopathic care mortality was only 9%.
86
1854 London Cholera Epidemic• London Homœopathic Hospital mortality rate was
16% vs. 55% for other London hospitals, but this information was barred from publication:
• “…that by introducing the returns of homeopathic practitioners, they would not only compromise the value and utility of their average of cure, as deduced from the operation of known remedies, but they would give unjustifiable sanction to the empirical practice alike opposed to the maintenance of truth and the progress of science”

Cholera Epidemic 1855 Rio
388 cases were treated with homeopathy with a 2% death rate, while the allopathic infirmary had a 40‐60% death rate. In 1878, Saturninode Meirelles and others re‐created the old Instituto Homeopaticodo Brasiland in 1880, they changed the name to Instituto Hahnemannianodo Brazil, which still exists. Homeopathy appears to be thriving in Brazil and is an important part of national health care initiatives.
88
Cholera Epidemic 1892 Hamburg
In the 1892 outbreak in Hamburg, Germany, about 8,600 people died. Although the city government was generally deemed to be responsible for this outbreak –their policies went largely unchanged. This was the last serious European cholera outbreak.
89
Yellow Fever Epidemic
Memphis, Tennessee: 1878
The worst yellow fever epidemic in U.S. history occurred in 1878, with over 5,000 deaths in Memphis alone and 20,000 deaths in the whole of the Mississippi Valley. Various yellow fever epidemics raged throughout the Deep South throughout the mid to late 19th century.

Diphtheria 1862 – 1864
In the records of three years of Diphtheria in Broome County, NY from 1862 to 1864, there was a report of an 83.6% mortality rate among the allopaths and a 16.4% mortality rate among the homœopaths.(Bradford)
Diphtheria was difficult to treat as despite its periodicity, it rarely had the same presentation. Practitioners needed to be able to quickly prescribe on an individual by individual basis. Occasionally, the disease would throw up particularly definite symptoms thus enabling the practitioner to prescribe a genus epidemicus.

Influenza Pandemic of 1918
The effectiveness of Homœopathy in acute epidemics was again confirmed during the great influenza pandemic of 1918. The Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy, May 1921 reported the following data. Dr. T. A. McCann of Dayton, Ohio recorded that in 24, 000 flu cases treated by orthodox medicine the mortality rate was 28.2% while those treated homœopathically was only 1.05%. The Dean of Hahnemann College who collected 26, 795 with similar results supported this figure. (Some History of the Treatment of Epidemics with Homœopathy by Julian Winston.)
94
But can our remedies act prophylactically?
95
Finding the Genius Epidemicus
Hahnemann suggested in Cure and Prevention of Scarlet Fever (18O1) that Belladonna could be used to prevent scarlet fever. In Cause and Prevention of the Asiatic Cholera (1831)Hahnemann noted that the skillful use of Cuprum 30C prevents cholera.

Hering uses Psorine
In 1833 Dr. Hering wrote a paper in which he discussed the potential of Psorine to prevent an infection of the itch miasma (Stapf, arch. xii, 3).
97
Bönninghausen & Homœoprophylaxis
Bönninghausen was an ardent practitioner of homœoprophylaxis. He would sometimes give the same remedy he gave a person suffering an epidemic disease to the contacts of the patient. He also used genius epidemicusremedies and nosodes to prevent disease. The Baron wrote the following in the Characteristic Value of Symptoms found in his Lesser Writings.
98
“Homœopathy has the most sure and approved prophylactics, and these indeed are the very same which have the power of healing those diseases when they have developed. Therefore, when we find in a family a case of infectious typhoid fever, there the same remedy which has been given to the patient in accordance with his symptoms, will also be sure to protect those in house from infections, as it destroys the natural disposition thereto, and it will even in the shortest time, restore those with whom there may have already been apparent the beginning of the disease. This last fact is the more important as these first beginning are usually so poor in symptoms that no certain choice can be founded on them: but the known occasional causes fully makes up for what is lacking.”

James Tyler Kent, who many consider the Father of Constitutional homœopathy, wrote:
100
James Tyler Kent
"The great prophylactic is the homœopathic remedy. After working in an epidemic for a few weeks, you will find perhaps that half a dozen remedies are daily indicated and one in these remedies in a larger number of cases than any other. This one remedy seems to be the best suited to the general nature of the sickness. Now you will find that for prophylaxis there is required a less degree of similitude than is necessary for curing. A remedy will not have to be so similar to prevent disease as to cure it, and these remedies in daily use will enable you to prevent a large number of people from becoming sick. We must look to homœopathy for our protection as well as for our cure".
101
Prevention against Tuberculosis
Kent also wrote in his Lectures on Homœopathic Materia Medica (page 1000) that the Tuberculin nosode has the potential to prevent TB infection in those predisposed toward the miasma.

Prevention against Tuberculosis
Kent also wrote in his Lectures on Homœopathic Materia Medica (page 1000) that the Tuberculin nosode has the potential to prevent TB infection in those predisposed toward the miasma.
"If Tuberculinum bovinum be given in 10m, 50m, and CM potencies, two doses of each at long intervals, all children and young people who have inherited tuberculosis may be immuned from their inheritance and their resiliency will be restored."
103
James Compton BurnettIn 1884 Dr. Burnett wrote:
"Speaking for myself, I have for the last nine years been in the habit of using vaccine matter (Vaccininum) in the 30 homœopathic centesimal potency, whenever small-pox was about, and I have thus far not seen any one so far treated get variola."
104
William Boericke
William Boericke wrote in the Pocket Manuel of Homœopathic Materia Medica that Baptisia has a prophylactic power over typhoid, clears carriers of the disease, and could be of service in typhoid Vaccinosis caused by orthodox immunizations.
"Baptisia in low dilutions produces a form of anti-bodies to the bacteria typhosus, viz., agglutinins. Thus it raises the natural bodily resistance to the invasion of the bacillary intoxication, which produces the typhoid syndrome. Typhoid carriers. After inoculation with anti-typhoid serum."

Dr. Wheeler suggests that a nosode in 30th potency will provide protection from a specific infectious disease for at least a fortnight.
1868 – 1946
106
Henry Clay Allen
H.C. Allen wrote in Allen’s Keynotes the following on page 300 in his discussion of Variolinum:
"As a preventive of, or protection against small-pox, Variolinum 200th is far superior to crude vaccination and absolutely safe from sequelae, especially septic and tubercular infection. The efficacy of the potency is stumbling block to materialists. But is it more difficult to comprehend than the infectious nature of variola, measles and pertussis? Those who have not used it, like those who have not experimentally tested the laws of similars, are not competent witnesses. Put it to the test and publish the failure to the world."
107
Cyrus Maxwell Boger
This is a quote from C.M Boger on homœoprophylaxis from the Homœopathic Recorder under the remedy, Psorinum.
“It (psorinum) is useful in suppressed itch, in fact, all nosodes seem to be most successful in types of disease similar to the ones from which they have been derived or in helping to clear up and bring about reaction in imperfectly cured cases of the same disease; thus Tuberculin does its best work in incipient consumption, pneumonia and other respiratory affections which do not react properly. THEY ARE ALSO USED AS PROPHYLATICS, INDUCING A MORE CERTAIN IMMUNITY THAN CAN OTHERWISE BE OBTAINED; this is especially true of Variolinum, the small-pox nosode which I have tested to my entire satisfaction, even allowing unvaccinated persons under its influence to nurse and sleep with the small-pox victim, the children of the family doing the same; out of more than a dozen of such exposures I have not had a single infection.”

In The Collected Works of Arthur Hill Grimmer the good doctor states, “lathyrus has given the most certain protection in thousands of exposed cases of polio through many epidemics in the last forty years”.
It is said that his study included 30, 000 over the years and to his knowledge no one suffered any side effects. Dr. Grimmer preferred the use of a single dose of a high potency, which he claimed could provide protection up to a year. This was the fruit of his experience.

Robert Dudgeon’s Proof
Dudgeon reported in his Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Homœopathy the experience of ten allopathic doctors who gave Belladonna to 1646 children who were exposed to scarlet fever of whom 123 contracted the disease, which is under 1%.. The normal attack rate in unprotected children was as high as 90%.
110
Tests Proving Prophylactic EfficacyDr. P Chavanon (Paris 1932) administered Diphtherinum 4M and 8M and after one to two months the antitoxins were measured in the blood. He noted that 45 children changed from Schick test +ve (no antibodies against diphtheria) to shick test ve(antibodies present) (Chavanon, P. La Dipterie, 4th edition. St. Denis, Niort: Imprimerie 1932.). Patterson and Boyd repeated this test in 1941, and 20 out of 33 children were observed to produce antibodies to diphtheria by Schick test (Patterson, J and Boyd WE. "Potency Action: A Preliminary Study of the Alteration of the Schick Test by a Homeopathic Potency." British Homeopathic Journal 1941; 31: 301-309). Dr. Roux repeated the experiment in 1946. This nosode provided laboratory confirmation of lasting immunity. The blood antitoxins seemed to last up to 5 years with one dose. (Eizayaga, F. "TratamientoHomeopatico de las Enfermedades Agudas y Su Prevension." Homeopatia 1985; 51(342): 352-362.). Allen used Diphtherinumfor 25 years as a prophylactic and no one he treated in such a manner contracted the disease. He challenged the profession to test this assertion and publish their failures.

Meningococcinum 10CH was given to 18,640 children and only four children fell ill
with the disease.
112
Tests Proving Prophylactic Efficacy
In August 1974 in Guarantingueta, Brazil there was a severe epidemic of meningitis. 18,640 children were given Meningococcinum 10CH while 6,340 children did not receive the nosode. Out of the 18,640 children 4 cases of meningitis developed. Out of the 6,340 children 34 cases were noted. Such a large-scale public health campaign cannot be carried out with individualized treatment. This study implies that the success rate of Meningococcinum was 95%. (Castro, D and Nogueira GG. "Use Of The NosodeMeningococcinum As A Preventive Against Meningitis." JAIH 1975; 68: 211-219.)
113
Tests Proving Prophylactic EfficacyOn the basis of the 1974 trial, the Brazilian government funded a larger study in 1998. The study was conducted by two professors of medicine from the University Foundation in Blumenau, Brazil, Blumenau specialist physician, and the Health City Secretary. The field trial lasted one year. 65, 826 persons up to 20 years old were given homœo-prophylaxis, while 23, 532 were used as a non-medicated control group. Out of the 65, 826 cases give homœo-prophylaxis only 4 suffered from meningococcal infection. Out of the 23,532 unprotected individuals there were 20 cases of meningococcal infection. Applying a similar ratio based on the number of infections in the non-immunized group to the 65, 826 treated people should yield around 58 cases yet there were only 4 cases. The study showed that homœo-prophylaxis was 95% effective in the first six months and 91% effective over a full year.

Tests Proving Prophylactic EfficacyDr. W.L. Bonnel, M.D. presented a paper to the International Hahnemannian Association on June 1940 on homœoprophylaxis. He stated:
“Not one case receiving homœopathic care died, while the 'old school' doctors lost 20 percent of their (smallpox) cases... I gave about 300 internal vaccinations (homœopathic remedies), five to adults acting as practical nurses; to the man who installed the telephone and lights in the pest house; to mothers who slept with their children while they had smallpox in its severest form. All of these people, exposed daily, were immune."
115
Variolinum can protect up to 97% of persons taking the nosode.

Three Methods of Homœo-prophylaxis
Homœopathy has developed three methodsof homœo-prophylaxis. These are the chronic remedies, the genus or genius epidemicusremedies and the use of nosodes.
118
Chronic Homœopathic Treatment
The first method of homœoprophylaxis is chronic treatment. These chronic remedies are chosen by the essential nature of the totality of symptoms that tend to reduce susceptibility toward infectious disorders. The chronic remedy is selected by the personal anamnesis, which emphasizes careful individualization.
119
Individualization
120

41
Chronic HomœopathicTreatment
Susceptibility and predisposition to infectious diseases is based on the constitution and the strength of the person’s life-force. For this reason treatment with chronic remedies that act generally is one of the best prophylactic methods. It can be utilized in conjunction with healthy life-style practices to minimize the risk to infectious diseases
121
Genius Epidemicus
The second method of homœoprophylaxis is called the
*the genus epidemicusremedies*.
122
Getting the Complete Picture
This group picture of an acute miasm provides remedies that have both curative and prophylactic qualities. These homœopathic"specifics" were not chosen by the name of the disease alone, but rather, by the grand totality of the symptoms of the entire epidemic in a greater number of people.
123
121
122
123
42
Group Anamnesis
The creation of a group picture is the most suitable approach for finding remedies for diseases of common cause and similar symptoms that affect a homogenous group. Dr. Carol Dunham wrote: "The selection of the prophylactic remedy must, to some extent, be governed by the nature of the epidemic, and therefore the best preventive cannot always be determined until the epidemic has appeared, and its peculiar nature has been ascertained."
124
Aphorism §100In investigating the totality of the symptoms of epidemic and sporadic diseases it is quite immaterial whether or not something similar has ever appeared in the world before under the same or any other name. The novelty or peculiarity of a disease of that kind makes no difference either in the mode of examining or of treating it, as the physician must any way regard to pure picture of every prevailing disease as if it were something new and unknown, and investigate it thoroughly for itself, if he desire to practice medicine in a real and radical manner, never substituting conjecture for actual observation, never taking for granted that the case of disease before him is already wholly or partially known, but always carefully examining it in all its phases; and this mode of procedure is all the more requisite in such cases, as a careful examination will show that every prevailing disease is in many respects a phenomenon of a unique character, differing vastly from all previous epidemics, to which certain names have been falsely applied - with the exception of those epidemics resulting from a contagious principle that always remains the same, such as smallpox, measles, etc.
125
Aphorism §101
It may easily happen that in the first case of an epidemic disease that presents itself to the physician’s notice he does not at once obtain a knowledge of its complete picture, as it is only by a close observation of several cases of every such collective disease that he can become conversant with the totality of its signs and symptoms. The carefully observing physician can, however, from the examination of even the first and second patients, often arrive so nearly at a knowledge of the true state as to have in his mind a characteristic portrait of it, and even to succeed in finding a suitable, Homoeopathically adapted remedy for it.
126
124
125
126
43
Aphorism §102In the course of writing down the symptoms of several cases of this kind the sketch of the disease picture becomes ever more and more complete, not more spun out and verbose, but more significant (more characteristic), and including more of the peculiarities of this collective disease; on the one hand, the general symptoms (e.g., loss of appetite, sleeplessness, etc.) become precisely defined as to their peculiarities; and on the other, the more marked and special symptoms which are peculiar to but few diseases and of rarer occurrence, at least in the same combination, become prominent and constitute what is characteristic of this malady.1 All those affected with the disease prevailing at a given time have certainly contracted it from one and the same source and hence are suffering from the same disease; but the whole extent of such an epidemic disease and the totality of its symptoms (the knowledge whereof, which is essential for enabling us to choose the most suitable homoeopathic remedy for this array of symptoms, is obtained by a complete survey of the morbid picture) cannot be learned from one single patient, but is only to be perfectly deduced (abstracted) and ascertained from the sufferings of several patients of different constitutions.
127
Herbert A. Roberts
“This, too, brings up the question of infectious diseases and the symptomatology attending the so-called contagious diseases. It is the duty of the physician to take very close observation of the first cases he has in an epidemic of infectious diseases, for the symptomatology. Immunity can be assured to patients if we will closely observe the symptomatology and select the epidemic remedy in the early stages of each epidemic, by administering the epidemic remedy as a prophylactic. In this way the symptomatology of epidemic diseases is exceedingly valuable to the homœopathic physician.”

Medicine of Experience
In one of Hahnemann’s earliest works, the Medicine of Experience, he offers several insights into the subject of causation and the nature of the infectious miasms. He carefully explains that miasms are diseases that have "one and the same cause".
139
Medicine of Experience
"We observe a few diseases that always arise from *one and the same* cause, e.g., the miasmatic maladies; hydrophobia, the venereal diseases, the plague of the Levant, yellow fever, small-pox, cow-pox, the measles and some others which bear upon then the distinctive mark of always remaining diseases of a *peculiar character*; and because they arise from a contagious principle that always remains the same, they also always retain the same character and pursue the same course ---"
140
HomœopathicPhilosophy
Hahnemann goes on, "These few disease, at all events those first mentioned (the miasmatic), we may therefore term specific, and when necessary bestow on them distinctive appellations.”

48
A Theory of Infectious Diseases
Most non-miasmic diseases that lead to protracted diseases depend on multiple internal and external causes rather than a single infectious factor that remains constant. From The Medicine of Experience.
142
Dissimilar Causes & Diseases
Most diseases arise from a combination of several dissimilar causes and produce myriad possible responses in any given individual. The choice of possible remedies under these conditions become significantly larger than what is normally found during an epidemic.
143
Dissimilar Causes & Diseases
Homœo-prophylaxis is based on understanding the nature of the human constitution, the nature of the miasms, the method of proving remedies on the healthy, and studying group symptoms in homogeneous groups of sufferers.
It is an extension of the principle of similia simillibus.
Studying §33 to §42 of the Organon will provide a foundation for understanding a more precise application of Homœo-prophylaxis.

Proving Nosodes
Hering continued to experiment with nosodes of the acute and chronic miasms and invited his colleagues to conduct provings. He was the first to recommend the use of potentized itch vesicles (Psorine cum Psorinum); potentized gonorrheal discharges (Medorrhinum); potentized tuberculosis (Pthisine cum Tuberculinum) and potentized syphilis (Syphiline cum Syphilinum) as remedies. He noted that such medicines could be used as curative medicines and intercurrent remedies in chronic diseases. In 1830 Heringproposed the use of Hydrophobinumfor the prevention of rabies, Variolinum for prevention of smallpox, and Psorine for the prevention of the itch miasm.
David Little
145
Nosodes
The publication of Hahnemann's The Chronic Diseases (1828) caused great interest in the nature of chronic miasms and their anti-miasmatic remedies. One of the direct consequences of these teachings was the development of the use of miasmic agents as remedies. Not long after Hahnemann published his new discoveries, Hering begin to experiment with the use of the potentized miasms. He called these new remedies "nosodes". The Greek word "Noso" is a prefix that refers to the morbid roots of disease. This term is connected with the Latin word, "noxa", which is the root of the word, noxious. This name is harmonious with the idea of using infectious materials as a basis for healing. This method had been used occasionally in the past but it was an extremely dangerous undertaking before the advent of potentized remedies.
David Little
146
The Suppression of Infectious Diseases
Hahnemann continued to study the actions of the miasmic diseases on the population and postulated that the suppression of these miasms would lead to new virulent strains, more complicated forms of social diseases and new complex chronic disorders.

We don’t need an Aggravation
The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health; that is, the lifting and annihilation of the disease in its entire extent in the shortest, most reliable, and least disadvantageous way, according to clearly realizable [in-seeable] principles.

Aphorism 281 (partial)
Naturally, for the cure to ensue again, the first smallest doses must also be gradually heightened [increased in potency], however they should be heightened far less and more slowly with patients in whom one perceives a considerable excitability than with the more unreceptive patients, with whom one can raise the dose more rapidly. There are patients whose uncommon excitability is one thousand times greater than that of the most unreceptive ones.

“The above preparation of copper, together with good and moderate diet, and proper attention to cleanliness, is the most certain preventive and protective remedy; those in health should take, once every week, a small globule of it (cupr. X [30C]) in the morning fasting, and not drink anything immediately afterwards, but this should not be done until the cholera is in the locality itself or in the neighborhood.”

The 30th is the most suitable potency in most situations because the Genius Epidemicus will be applied to a large group of people having a wide range of susceptibility. People with low susceptibility may not respond to higher potencies.

He knows [is aware] with the greatest certainty that which he has perceived in himself.
