The California Homeopath
Journal of the California Homeopathic Medical Society

Henny Heudens-Mast stands poised at the white board and proceeds to guide a group of homeopathic colleagues through the thrilling unraveling of a difficult case. The case unfolds spontaneously for some time and then the process of tracking the expression of the vital force begins. Each symptom of significance is classified by miasm, with special attention given to symptoms that are strange, rare or peculiar. Henny’s teaching breathes life into the paradigm of miasms. A favorite miasmatic example: A group of homeopaths are attending a seminar when a fire breaks out across the street. The psoric homeopaths cannot even look at the flames and worry about the cost of repairs, the sycotic homeopaths remark “Oh how exciting—lets go over and investigate.” The syphilitic homeopaths secretly ponder how nice it might feel to set things on fire… Seminars in Florida and Oregon function like super visions, and live cases are the focus.
