Cancer Miasm

The Cancer miasm lies between the fixity of the Sycotic miasm and the destruction of the Syphilitic miasm. The sensation is perceived to a depth where it is seen as a chaos which is going out of control into destruction and the person has limited abilities to bring the situation back under control. There is a feeling of weakness and incapacity within, and the need to perform exceedingly well and live up to very high expectations. The reaction is a superhuman effort, stretching himself beyond the limits of his capacity, in order to bring the chaos under control. It is a continuous and prolonged struggle which seems to have no end. His survival depends on it, for failure would mean, death and destruction. Unlike the Syphilitic miasm, the experience is not completely destructive; there is some hope of establishing control.

Dr. Roger Morrison wrote of the correlation between the Cancer miasm and the desperation of the typical cancer patient:

When a patient receives a diagnosis of cancer, it is obvious that the condition is life threatening. The patient and the family feel there is almost no hope but yet they do not give up. They search high and low for a new drug trial, a new surgery, or even a farfetched alternative like homeopathy. The feeling is one of desperation, of holding on to hope with the fingernails. The patient who needs a remedy from this miasm feels he must carry out his life perfectly - one failure of duty, one lapse in cleanliness, one cheat of the proper diet and all will be lost. Perfectionism and the need for control with the feeling of being strained to one’s very limit are the normal presentation.

Pathology:

Physically the Cancer miasm is often found in patients with a history of cancer but many other physical ailments can be produced. Anorexia nervosa is often treated by remedies of this miasm. Tumors of any sort, neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis are often found in this miasm.
