The most frequent location of the sycotic manifestation in woman is in the pelvic organs.

Pelvic
inflammations such as an inflammation of the ovaries, inflammation processes of the fallopian tubes, in
fact all of the inflammatory diseases of the female pelvis may be traced to this taint. In more chronic
types we get cystic degeneration of the ovaries, the uterus and the fallopian tubes.

2.P.S Ortega-Notes on Miasms-Sycosis

- Sycosis, considered as the second Hahnemannian miasm.
- Some amplification of its characteristics.
- General signs and symptoms of Sycosis.
PAGE 69
Sycosis, the miasm which we put in second place, was well recognized by Hahnemann for its
characteristic production of neo-formations, with dentated or pedunculated growths resembling figs.
This is undoubtedly the pathological condition of excess, escape, hyperplasia, ostentation, tumor
formation, acceleration, and also, as Hahnemann indicated, the constitutional state resulting from the
arbitrary and unnatural suppression of fluxes, catarrhal eliminative affections, and abnormal secretions
produced by excess and whose suppression takes away from the natural healing power its possibility of
eliminating and of becoming reintegrated into the rhythm of moderation and homeostasis. These
include the sinful fluxes of gonorrhoea contracted out of the desire for pleasure, as is inherent in natural
functions; they are the consequence of gluttony, of drinking too much, of abusive indulgence in sex, and
of continual suppression of the efforts of the natural healing power to reintegrate itself into the order
which in indispensable for the continuation of life. Elimination of the products of excess is prevented;
detritus remains imprisoned in the joints and the skin or gives rise to hyperplasias and neo-formations.
This miasm is the product of selfishness and covetousness - the desire for pleasure without thinking of
the consequences combined with the selfishness which forgets about others and concentrates only on
itself. This intimate feeling of selfishness - of taking advantage of others through lack of consideration, of
exploiting everything around us without becoming a part of it - necessarily imprints on the mind of the
sycotic that dread and open fear which in no way resembles the timidity or anxiety of the psoric. The
sycotic wants to flee; his covetousness makes him want to hide; distrustful and suspicious, when
angered he screams and shouts and is always in a hurry. In his thoughts and movements ideas stir and
succeed themselves in abundance, even to the point of hallucination; he is given to fantasies, petulant,
inconsistent, voluble, capricious, sensitive to atmospheric changes, aggravated by nightfall, and inclined
to be effusive. His pains are like his mental symptoms, changing and erratic, stabbing, unbearable. He
must always be on the move, changing position, finding another place. He is unstable in every way.
PAGE 70
Dr. Gonzalez Corena stated the following about the genetic aspect of this miasm : "When the biological
reaction is oriented toward enzymatic or proteinic cellular neo-formations, the sycotic diathesis
becomes established... The genes which are altered by such physico-chemical factors as radiation or
medicines whose action is very far --reaching (like Thalidomide) act in accordance with the Mendelian
laws, of dominance and recessiveness. The parents may supply gametes with altered chromosomes and
genes, damaged and thereby abnormal. If this is present in the two parents, it will be homozygous, of in
only one of them heterozygous. The abnormal sycotic gene is dominant if the morbid reaction appears
in the genotype in all generations of the genealogical tree under study; and it is recessive if no clinical
manifestations appeared during one generation. One example of this is Recklinghausen's Disease, with
its tumors, many brown spots and cysts, and which has a recessive hereditary character (even though
dominant in some sporadic instances). Like any disturbance, sycosis is of genetic and environmental
origin, since it results both from the altered genes and from environmental factors. It is a confirmed fact
that the GENOTYPE (the genome or stock of genes), when affected by some non-typical environmental
factor, offers to clinical observation the PHENOTYPE. Sycosis of genetic origin is thus subject to
intrauterine environmental influence during gestations (called epigenetic influence) : an example is the
embryo subjected to the sycotic radiation of rubeola, toxoplasma... a congenital infection can arise from
intrauterine or epigenetic factors and in this case will not be considered hereditary even if congenital.
Eugenics strives to improve the species by helping wise nature in her natural selection, promoting the
best racial traits, or trying to prevent coupling by persons with serious stigmas or defects, avoiding
therapeutic or iatrogenic damage... it will influence the organism directly by treating sycosis,
endeavouring to attenuate it in the course of generations. Clinical experience shows that in cases where
a vegetative dermatosis appears, with concomitant improvement of the general and mental symptoms,
the case is following Hering's Law, and its evolution should be respected and promoted... the same
clinical experience shows that local treatment or surgical excision aggravate the general condition of the
patient."
PAGE 71
From all of this we can conclude that sycosis is an anomalous constitutional state resulting from the
arbitrary and unnatural suppression of acute illness characterized by fluxes and abundant secretions. To
block these and work against the exonerative and redeeming natural healing power means that the
imbalance will be driven further into the organism where it becomes a permanent sycosis; its
constitutional pathology is characterized logically by a tendency to the production of hyperplasias and
hypertrophies. It constitutes a predisposition to excess, to neo-formations, to any anopulous
production. From the dialectical point of view its origin can be seen in the ambition for pleasure without
reflection about others and without considering how they are affected by this pleasure being pursued or
this good being acquired; or it can arise from the use of others as the subjects or objects of the same
pleasure, the mind is perverted and is - logically enough - projected into the body in conformity with this
exaggerated ambition.
The sycotic will typically wrap himself in a thick layer of fat; his perversion not only endows him with
these exaggerated reserves but even prevents him from eliminating that which harms him, producing a
lithic or a uric diathesis as well as other forms of retention and accumulation within the great diathesis
which we call sycosis.
Mentally, the sycotic is audacious; the 'classic winner', whose sagacity gives him the advantage in
everything; he is precipitate; always wanting something and pursing it - including himself. When he fails,
it is due to being ever-hasty, and then he tends to flee or escape in fright; he shapes all his functions
impulsively and is full of ambition. Presumptuous, imperious, fatuous, impertinent but super-active, he
must be continually on the move, always doing something. His sickness will always be subordinate to his
self-love; he can love others, but always much less than himself; and the objects and persons upon
whom his feelings and love are projected will always be suitable for arousing his own self-love.
He is constantly in an uproar, applying himself to numerous projects, and will roam around various
roads until dying in his physical and mental restlessness, in his excess, and his rapid wasting away -
despite his great attachment to life. His end will be that of the covetous person who consumes up to the
last moment what he thinks is due to him in life.
PAGE 72
His pathology, as we have already noted, will manifest the same tendency to accumulation in his bone
structure and his skin. This gives rise to hyper-globulinemia, papillomatosis, arthritic nodes, callouses,

swollen tonsils, ovarian and hydatid cysts. As soon as the natural healing
power can get an opportunity to free itself from a little of his miasmatic burden, it will give rise to an
acute process which will save him either through a copious sweat, a stubborn coryza (as often seen in
children), or through a fistula when the internal situation is really precarious. The salutary eruptive
diseases of infancy are responsible for much miasmatic elimination, and the unnatural vaccinations
which are so extremely contrary to the proper stability of the human race, make the sycotic condition
deeper by suppressing or preventing the miasm from taking an acute form.
When the miasm takes a lethal form, its haste to extinguish clearly promotes the activity of the other
miasmatic conditions present in the individual.

3.Dr.H.A Roberts-Disesase Classification-Sycosis-The Principles

of Art & Cure by Homoeopathy
Sycosis is generally understood to be the gonorrhoeal poison. We should make the distinction clear
between gonorrhoea and sycosis. Gonorrhoea is the acute infection of the gonococci, which takes from
five to ten days to develop a urethritis after an exposure. During this incubation period it is purely an
infection; then the local manifestations are thrown outward by Nature at the point of attack as a
resentment of the vital energy to the infection. If the gonorrhoea is thoroughly and completely cured,
practically no sycosis ever develops. Sycosis is established after a suppressed gonorrhoea, when the
acute infection is driven in upon the vital energy by external methods of suppression, and it then
becomes a systematic stigma, permeating every living cell of the organism, and transmitting its deadly
destructive forces to the offspring as well as retaining the full destructiveness of its power in the original
individual, and impregnating the mother of the child.
The suppressed gonorrhoeal infection is very apt to first show itself in attacking the blood and
producing an anæmic condition, and a general catarrhal condition is set up. Oftentimes an inflammatory
rheumatism develops; inflammation follows in the soft tissues, and changes in the fibre of the muscles.
In fact, the whole organism becomes involved. Sometimes a stasis develops in the lymphatics; there is a
swelling in the groin following the suppression, and inflammation in the prostatic gland.
These are the symptoms that are first produced after a suppression, showing that the whole organism is
involved and in the grip of this destructive force. Seldom do we get these constitutional symptoms when
the initial gonorrhoea is cured by the homoeopathically indicated remedy, and if there is any
constitutional taint, it is in a mild form.
PAGE 230
The transmission of this gonorrhoeal poison, or sycotic poison, as the case may be, is transmitted in the
stage into which the infecting individual has arrived. If it is a true gonorrhoeal infection, true gonorrhoea
will be transmitted; but if it has reached the secondary stage (which usually comes on three months
after the first stage has subsided, and may be delayed a full year) the contracting party will develop the
condition at the same stage as the infector.
The secondary and tertiary symptoms of sycosis can be entirely eradicated by homoeopathic treatment.
In the secondary period of sycosis almost every disease that may arise takes on an inflammatory nature
in some form; it may be acute, subacute or chronic, and it may vary from very mild to very malignant
fevers.
We know how frequently we see cases where soon after marriage a perfectly healthy, robust girl begins
to droop and becomes ill. This is because the secondary symptoms of sycosis have been transmitted to
the extensive mucous surfaces of the female organs. Oftentimes it is a single organ that becomes

involved, like the ovary with its cystic manifestations, or

a fallopian tube manifests inflammation; again they may show a very anæmic state of the blood, and
when this anæmic condition arises it affects every part of her organism, coming on gradually, slowly,
until her whole system is permeated. She becomes pallid, drawn, puffy; there is no stamina to the
muscles. The anæmic condition arises from this stigma because sycosis destroys the red blood cells
through imperfect oxidization of food.

4.A Brief Study Course in Homoeopathy-Dr.E.W Hubbard-

One of the knottiest problems for the beginner is the different concept of pathology and bacteriology.
Homoeopaths accepts the facts of these branches of medicine. The difference lies in the interpretation.
Pathology is an end result of some morbid process. The homoeopath is not nearly as interest in the

diseased tonsil, the haemorrhoid, the ovarian cyst, the cancer, the tapeworm, or
the psoriasis, as he is in the constitutional dyscrasia behind these. He is not eager to remove the
ultimates of disease at once, but rather to cure the underlying cause. In the course of this cure the
ultimate will often disappear, as in the case of diseased cervical glands or fibroids. If not, it can be
removed when it has become merely a foreign body, and when the constitution is so changed that it will
not ultimate itself in further pathology in a more deep-seated organ. Similarly one is taught to consider
that bacteria cause disease. The homoeopath is more interest in the individual's susceptibility, than in
the bacteria themselves. Instead of poisoning the malarial plasmodia with quinine or the syphilitic
spirochaetae with salvarsan, the homoeopath prefers to stimulate the body to make itself uninhabitable
for these organisms, and he does this by means of the similar remedy. to give another instance, instead
of killing off head lice with delphinium and leaving the patient susceptible to further invasions, the
homoeopath gives a chronic constitutional remedy which removes the susceptibility and the lice seek
better pasturage.
