Dynamic
Materia Medica ng1 by Per Neesgaard This
'Materia Medica' is based on the dynamic paradigm for
human health and disease put forward by the Argentinean
Dr. Alfonso Masi Elizalde. It gives a
deep dynamic understanding of human nature in sickness
and in health and contributes to a more precise and
thereby more safe and efficient Homeopathic treatment.
Neither allopathic medicines nor coffee or other known
antidotes can stop the curative process initiated by the
Similimum found by this method. This
dynamic paradigm is faithful to the legacy of Hahnemann
and represents a transcendence of his work. Hahnemann
says that the remedy must be just as dynamic as the
disturbance of the Life Force. Our picture of a remedy
must be just as dynamic so that we can find it. It
fulfils Kent's injunction of making Materia Medica alive. The work of Masi sustains that
all of man’s pathology individually can be traced
back to one original problem. This is not a new idea, but
Masi has on an empirical basis established a practical
and dynamic model which allows the Homeopath, out of any
well-proven remedy or any thorough pathogenesis, to find
and prescribe on that original problem. The name Masi
uses for the original problem is ‘Primary
Psora’. The beauty of this model is the
understanding that it offers; it makes it understandable
how the ‘Primary Psora’ imparts itself through
the hierarchy of man, down to the single symptom.
‘The Miasmatic dynamic’ describes the
‘natural laws’ that this process follows, the
dynamic structure in the hierarchy of man. And it works
in both directions. Knowledge
of this dynamic structure is important; both when you
want to trace a complicated case back to its Primary
Psora as basis for the prescription, and to evaluate the
direction of the process after the prescription. Another
important contribution from Masi is the implementation of
‘The five nuclei’ found in any well-proven
remedy and any thorough pathogenesis. And it is precisely
because they are found in any well-proven remedy and any
thorough pathogenesis, that they are important. It makes
them non-specific for any remedy and thus draw a veil
over the clear picture of individual facts to be
prescribed upon. On the other hand it is important to
investigate which ability in which area that are affected
in these five nuclei, as this is individual and very much
remedy-specific. It
offers an understanding of why a person does what he
does, thus shifting the attention from 'what' he does or
has, to 'why' he does or have precisely that
symptom. It focuses higher in the hierarchy of man,
on the deepest cause behind and above the plane of
symptoms, thus enabling you to differentiate, on a solid
base of understanding, one central theme or cause, which
is easier to remember than a thousand rubrics. By
focusing on the understanding of the dynamic behind the
pathology, instead of on the memory of a thousand
symptoms, it is possible to prescribe with unprecedented
precision. The
Miasmatic dynamic offers a very helpful way of
"taking the case", analyse the anamnesis,
finding the Similimum and, in a follow up,
differentiating the healing process following Similimum,
from the potential suppression following a Simile. None
of the above, however, helps our experience or patient in
the least if the remedy we prescribe does not precisely
correspond to that which was used in the proving. The
'unknown', and often doubtful, quality of homeopathic
remedies is one of the greatest threats against a science
like homeopathy, which is based on empirical methods.
This database therefore includes examples of the problems
to be aware of for the remedies concerned. Invitation
The
Hypotheses remain Hypotheses until they are confirmed in
practice. We have a primary confirmation of the
Hypothesis when we prescribe the remedy to a patient on
the basis of the Primary Psoric Hypothesis, with the
precise Themes and Guiding Motives, and the cure manifest
itself as a quantum leap. Such confirmations will,
however, only be final when a number of patients require
only this single remedy for any relapse and acute illness
over a period of five to six years. It
is very important that as many as possible Hypotheses
manage to be verified in practice so that they may be
adjusted, any holes filled in, and so that the Hypotheses
in the end shall be replaced by a sure prescriptive
foundation. It is my hope that this publication will
contribute to this aim. The
purpose of this publication has exclusively been to make
all of this material available to Classical Homeopaths
for the benefit of all. I therefore welcome
any contribution to complete this database for the
benefit of all, both confirmations of existing
Hypotheses, new Hypotheses and any other contribution to
improve the database for a more precise and thereby more
safe and efficient Homeopathic treatment. The more
complete this database is as a common platform of
knowledge, the more it will be used and the better a tool
it will be for everyone.
