## Description

How to change the subconscious patterns underlying chronic conditions • Explains how to use prominent emotional and physical symptoms to determine the core existential stress underlying one’s chronic condition • Introduces five, seminal existential questions correlating with both the five miasms of homeopathy and the Five Phases of Traditional Chinese Medicine • Presents homeopathic remedies connected to specific existential quandaries and explains their indications through detailed examples from the author’s practice In addition to working well for physical ailments, homeopathy offers remedies for engaging with the subconscious mind to ameliorate embedded, existential causes of chronic illness— called “miasms.” Jerry M. Kantor presents diagnostic insight, specific homeopathic remedies, and successful case studies about the profound connections between emotions and their physical manifestations in illness. He further correlates the five classical miasms and their core existential quandaries with the Five Elements and Phase Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He likens inborn foundational emotions to tools, each one designed to solve a stress-related problem. Self-sabotaging imbalances occur when an emotional tool is excessively used. He explains how identifying a default emotional response—such as anxiety or anger—along with its accompanying physical symptoms can determine the core existential stress or hereditary pattern underlying a chronic condition. For each of the five classical miasms and their associated physical and emotional conditions, the author presents homeopathic remedies that mollify the impact of specific existential quandaries and explains their indications through detailed examples from his practice. Revealing that the subconscious mind is amenable to change, Kantor shows how to accurately select remedies to defuse the energetic charge of unresolved existential stress and thus quell the root causes of chronic illness.

Review: Recognizing the plights that ensnare us - Humans are enmeshed in fundamental uncertainties. Yet not all become fixated on the same uncertainty, and nor do all dwell in them in the same ways. Kantor identifies five of these core dilemmas (e.g. Am I alone in life or do I act in synchrony with nature and with others? Can the boundary between life and death be abided?) He finds traces of our encounters with them lodged in mind and body, seeding health and illness. Wresting grace is ever at issue. Recognizing the plights that ensnare us then allows for development of perspectives on how to better meet them. Bringing these enduring tensions to light is a significant contribution, certainly enough to recommend the book. Yet Kantor has more to offer, linking these dilemmas to the theoretical frameworks of traditional Chinese medicine and homeopathy. His creative insights into homeopathic remedies are a gift to readers now and well into the future.
Review: Very difficult to understand - This book is not for someone who is simply a reader wanting to know more about the subject. It’s very hard to understand. It was so frustrating I actually gave up on it without finishing it. Full disclosure. Why is it that doctors that write books have to write it in language the average person can’t comprehend? I’m not stupid and am an avid reader. But this is way too technical and filled with jargon that’s confusing. I feel bad writing a bad review but I felt it was valid.
