About this listen
• 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.
Critic reviews
“Eye-opening and mind-expanding for homeopaths, practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and practitioners of existential psychology. For homeopaths, Kantor provides a new psychologically based typology system that relates to aspects of both TCM and existential psychology; it will no doubt expand their patient analysis capabilities. For practitioners of TCM and existential psychology, Kantor reveals the all-embracing and deeply symbolic nature of homeopathy, which is able to address not only emotional and mental problems but physical ones as well. This is truly a wide-ranging book that weaves many threads together.”
“Enlightening, erudite, engaging, and expressive. I like the local links between the five senses, the five Chinese phases, and the five main miasms. The remedy portraits are picturesque, with delicately descriptive themes, sublime application of astute language, all in a context of world literature, philology, and religion. Kantor’s use of language is masterful and highly engaging. I truly enjoyed reading it.”
“This remarkable synthesis of cutting-edge knowledge is rooted in ancient practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as in homeopathy’s futuristic, Western medical tradition. Five revelatory existential questions are introduced. Convincingly, each provides the subtext for health, epigenetics, and emergent chronic illness. Offering case histories, clinical pearls, Greek myth analysis, and much more, Kantor’s book is a stunning yet enjoyable read. Highly recommended.”
“This book by Jerry Kantor gives good insights in the reactions between medicine and psychology. It points to the source of disease as psychological. Added to that is its relationship with philosophy, which gives his work even further depth. It is a great book.”
“Jerry Kantor is a gifted and experienced homeopath who thinks deeply about homeopathy and its applications to living beings. He has written this wellthought- out, highly philosophical book that gets the reader to think about one’s existential reality and roots, to learn more about homeopathy, and see how both relate to Traditional Chinese Medicine. He makes some easy-tounderstand analogies using familiar movie and literary characters to make his points easier to understand. An incredibly intellectual and poignant read!”
“A tour de force of the philosophical and existential themes inherent in a homeopathic understanding of illness, Kantor provides a newly emerging synthesis of the relationship between miasmatic human conditions and the life-enhancing force of nature’s own substances encased within homeopathic remedies.”
