    This document discusses inappropriately named chronic diseases, also known as pseudo-chronic diseases. These diseases are brought upon by patients themselves through injurious addictions, unhealthy environments, and bad lifestyle habits rather than miasmatic backgrounds. Examples given include addiction to substances like alcohol, living in unhealthy places like marshlands, small confined dwellings, overexertion of body and mind, and constant worries. However, these pseudo-chronic diseases can disappear under improved living conditions without the presence of a chronic miasm, as the causes are lifestyle and environmental factors rather than inherent disease.

    INAPPROPRIATELY NAMED CHRONIC DISEASES

    APHORISM 77
    Those diseases are inappropriately named chronic, which persons
    incur who expose themselves continually to avoidable noxious
    influences, who are in the habit of indulging in injurious liquors or
    aliments, are addicted to dissipation of many kinds which
    undermine the health, who undergo prolonged abstinence from
    things that are necessary for the support of life, who reside in
    unhealthy localities, especially marshy districts, who are housed in
    cellars or other confined dwellings, who are deprived of exercise or
    of open air, who ruin their health by overexertion of body or mind,
    who live in a constant state of worry, etc. These states of ill-health,
    which persons bring upon themselves, disappear spontaneously,
    provided no chronic miasm lurks in the body, under an improved
    mode of living, and they cannot be called chronic diseases.
    In this Aphorism, Dr Hahnemann describes about
    INAPPROPRIATELY NAMED CHRONIC DISEASES. It is also
    known as Pseudo-Chronic Diseases.
    Here, the diseases are not produced because of any miasmatic
    backgrounds, but these diseases are brought up by the patient
    himself because of the injurious addictions, unhealthy environment
    and bad life habits. Addiction to liquors, cigarette smoking and
    other drugs will spoil the natural vital force in our body leading to
    disharmony in the function of vital organs which further leads to
    serious diseases.
    People living in unhealthy environment like marshy districts,
    workers in Coal mining factories, Cotton wool factories, Chemical
    factories will also develop diseases because of the allergens or
    chemicals present in there. If such patients are locating to a better
    healthy place, their vital force can be retained.
    Patients who are living in small rooms where open air flow is very
    much less will also have a tendency to produce diseases due to
    unhealthy environment. These also can be corrected by taking
    them to a better place.
    Another common reason is overexertion of body and mind.
    Constant emotional stress, worries, work related stress – all these
    leads to derangement in peace of mind which affects the vital force.
    These affections further lead to derangements in the health of the
    individual. The can be corrected by proper control over the
    overexertion.
    If we are checking on the above states of health, there is no miasm
    involved in each cases. The mode of living and emotional status are
    responsible for the conditions. The diseases may be present in them
    for a long period of time. These can be corrected by proper living
    habits and controlling the emotions. So they are called as Pseudo-
    chronic diseases.
