Hahnemann’s observations regarding “miasms” involved in CHRONIC DISEASES, relating it with INFECTIOUS DISEASES, would have been celebrated as a revolutionary invention in medical history, had anybody- be it hahnemann himself, his followers or scientists- taken up the task of explaining it in scientific terms.
Had anybody asked the question how an infectious disease can cause life-long RESIDUAL EFFECTS in the organism even after the infection is over, everything would have been clear. It would have been obvious that infectious agents can produce life-long RESIDUAL EFFECTS in the form of CHRONIC DISEASES only through ANTIBODIES generated in the body against infectious agents.
Such a realization would have helped medical as well as scientific community to view ANTIBODIES from a different perspective- as CAUSATIVE AGENTS of diverse types of CHRONIC DISEASES- over and above their role as DEFENSE molecules.
Such a realization would have enabled the modern medical community to approach the so-called AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES from a different perspective. They would have understood that so-called autoimmune diseases are caused by off-target actions of antibodies generated in the body against infections, and not against “auto antigens”! Such a realization would have led them into developing better strategies and tools for diagnosing and treating such diseases.
Even though modern scientific community have started researching about the role of infectious diseases in causing so-called autoimmune diseases only very recently, hahnemann was talking about the role of “miasms” of infectious diseases in chronic diseases more than 200 years ago! Scientific commuinity is obliged to salute the great genius of Dr Samuel Hahnemann!
