Quelle place pour le mode réactionnel chronique tuberculinique dans la pratique de l’homéopathie au XXIème siècle ?

Context

In the early 20 th century, Antoine Nebel developed a new chronic reactive mode (CRM), tuberculinism, in addition to the three “miasms” already described by Hahnemann: psora, sycosis and syphilis. How does tuberculinism fit in within the three other CRMs today?

Goal

To provide diagnostic elements so as to identify the tuberculinic CRM of a patient. To suggest the most effective therapeutic strategy.

Method

By comparing the writings of twentieth century authors with our clinical experience, we will offer the essential features and pathognomonic of tuberculinism as well as its treatment.

Results

Tuberculinism is an inherited or acquired CRM, very common in children and adolescents. It often occurs when there is a family history of tuberculosis or following BCG vaccination or repeated antibiotic therapy for recurrent ENT disorders. It evolves in two stages, acceleration of cellular metabolism then progressive exhaustion. Individuals with a phosphoric constitution are more affected. Morbid manifestations mainly evoke psora but also sycosis.

Conclusion

The recognition and management of the tuberculinic CRM make it possible to effectively treat recurrent and chronic respiratory diseases, which are very debilitating for children as well as for their parents.
