The Nucleus - Lectures on Chronic Diseases and Miasms
The title of the Book “Nucleus” would make everyone think about something special. Dr.E.S. Rajendran has given an exposition of the concept of miasm in his lectures, which is useful to students and practitioners. He has explained clearly how Hahnemann entered in to the nucleus of the disease process and finds solutions for the practical difficulties, especially in treating chronic diseases.

He explains Hahnemanns idea that in the treatment of chronic diseases where physicians are required to prescribe several anti-psoric remedies in succession to complete the cure. Similarly “If psora is complicated with sycosis and syphilis, first psora must be treated with anti-psorics followed by antisycotic... “ This application is needed for many diseases, which Dr.Rajendran highlights in his case histories in a very practical way.

Rajendran ".....if psora is bacteria, then antipsoric is not sulphur but the best antibiotic available in the market and in that case homoeopathy would not have survived. I reviewed and evaluated the views of Stuart close and Dr.B.K.Sarkar on miasm and concluded that ...... miasm is a concept. Also the miasms are an integral part of the totality, superior to the established ideas of symptom totality".

He repeatedly affirms that homeopathic practice should be upgraded from the present levels of symptom totality to the holistic totality, which incorporates disease diagnosis and miasmatic diagnosis as the integral entities of the totality along with the characteristics.

This is in fact a totally new opinion, which opens up new possibilities about the prolonged puzzle in homoeopathic practice, how to integrate disease diagnosis and miasmatic diagnosis in to the idea of totality?

Rajendran has explored earlier writings about the miasms by various authors including R.E.Dudgeon. J.T.Kent, Stuart Close, Richard Hughes, H.A.Roberts, M.L.Tyler, Processo.S.Ortega, Rajan Sankaran, R.P.Patel and Prafull Vijayakar. These are brief yet critical and analytical.

He has given illustrations of 45 cases to substantiate his new vision on the concept of miasm. These cases are good study material for students and practitioners to substantiate the miasm from the present vague state in to a more clear level. This book also enables us to understand the miasm and establish its practical utility in day-to-day practice.
