An Accurate Assessment?

AT the beginning of this century, the late Dr. J. T. Kent was once asked when he thought Homeopathy would be universally embraced, studied, and practiced, and he replied, ” Not for at least three hundred years.”

Lilium Tigrinum

Lilium closely resembles Sepia in its action on the uterine organs. There is no remedy that is more efficacious for uterine displacement than Lilium. It has the persistent bearing-down feeling as if the pelvic viscera were being dragged downward. The choice between Lilium and Sepia might not always be easy. The Sepia case is more likely to be chronic. The Lilium case is more intense, painful and distressing. The Sepia cachexia, would decide easily in its favor.

Two Remedies in Dropsy of the Brain (Hydrocephalus)

Opium 6 is useful where there is entire insensibility, hard, loud breathing, eyes half open. A Dose every 2 hrs.

Zincum 3x may be given in cases which seem hopeless, where there is, in connection with the dilated pupil, half-open eyes, and loud, slow breathing, cold hands and feet, and a scarcely perceptible pulse. A dose every 2 hrs. This remedy has proven successful in these desperate cases.

Some Aspects of Agnus Castus

Agnus castus is a prominent remedy for sprains; worse from a strain, as in lifting a little too much. Also, the feet turn under easily when walking.

Deficient secretion of milk in lying-in women, where this mental symptom is present, “There is no use of doing anything, as I shall die after a while.”

Swelling and induration of the spleen, particularly after intermittent fevers.

An odor of herrings or of musk, is constantly before the nose, which cannot be dissipated.

Homeopathic Pharmacies in U.S. and Canada Targeted

In the USA and Canada, homeopathic pharmacies have faced contrived class action lawsuits in the last few years. Heel Inc., which has been producing combination homeopathic remedies for years, experienced lawsuits requiring substantial financial burden. Consequently they will discontinue their business operations in the U.S. and Canada as of August 31, 2014.

Belgium Sabotages Homeopathy

In Belgium a recent decree by the Ministry of Health sabotages the practice of homeopathy throughout the country. By creating impossible requirements for homeopaths, they insure that homeopathy cannot be practiced legally in the future.

Miasms and Food Temperature

A comparison of the desires of the stigmatic influences is of much help in selecting the remedy: psora desires hot foods; syphilis prefers cold food; sycosis wants the food either hot or cold. Psora desires meats, but the combination of psora and syphilis, in the tubercular diathesis, has an aversion to meats.

Vermont Passes Historic GMO Bill

Defying repeated threats of a lawsuit from Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA), on May 8, Peter Shumlin, the Governor of Vermont, signed a historic bill requiring food manufacturers to label genetically engineered (GE) foods, and to drop the practice of labeling GE foods as “natural”.   On May 9, true to its word, the GMA confirmed that it will sue Vermont in federal court to overturn the bill (H. 112). The GMA, whose 300-plus members include Monsanto and Dow, Coca-Cola and General Mills, is also pushing a bill in Congress that would preempt all states from passing GMO labeling laws.

Five Remedies in Asiatic Cholera

Camphora — Should be given in the first stage with the rapidly sinking strength with great coldness and anxiety before the purging and cramps set in.

Aconitum — Twelve cases recovered under this remedy alone. When collapse comes on very rapidly, with little or no premonitory illness, and unattended by copious evacuations, aconite is indicated. The great rapidity of the onset calls for this drug .

Arsenicum alb — Arsenic is given the chief place for the treatment of cholera when the time for arresting it by camphor is past.

Cuprum. — For the cramping it is unquestionably the best remedy and, I may add, for the vomiting, also.

Phosphorus. — Will be found very useful in cholera to check the drain of brownish fluid from the bowels, which sometimes continues after the other symptoms have subsided.

Bright’s Disease

Plumbum will cure Bright’s disease, at least in the incipient and middle stages, while there is one or two percent of albumin in the urine.

Bismuth

In punctate erosions of the gastric mucous membrane, which are indicated by a sensation in the stomach after meals, as if there were a sore spot in the stomach, the best remedy is the Subnitrate of Bismuth.

Nursing and Lactation

Pulsatilla is the best remedy to arrest the secretion of milk after weaning the child, or to prevent the secondary ailments of weaning. Bell, Bry and Calc are likewise useful.

Galactorrhea requires Calc, especially when the breasts are turgid with milk.

Borax if the milk coagulates readily. If Borax be insufficient, give Lachesis

Silicea if the child throws up after nursing and refuses the breast

Cough

Almost any cough with a hectic flush and dryness of the throat will yield to Sanguinaria.

Sticta Pulmonaria – It allays irritation, soothes irritable tissue, removes hyper-sensitive conditions of the respiratory mucous membrane and promotes sleep.

Iodum in Croup

Iodium’s curative action is all the more favorable the firmer the consistency of the morbid product. Hence Iodium is less indicated for mucous than for membraneous formations. It may be employed in all stages of croup.

Four Tips from The Homoeopathic Recorder

 

Sepia

In young girls, when the menses have appeared but slightly and show no signs of increasing from month to month, Sepia is an excellent remedy to establish the normal flow.

Nux for Sensitivity

Hahnemann advises a dose of Nux vom, as the best remedy to allay the general hyper- sensitiveness of patients who always complain of aggravation of their condition even on receiving very small doses.

 

A Mullein Anecdote

A Mr. Kemmis was treated by various physicians for what they called a rose Cancer, but without relief. An Indian squaw told him to use mullein oil. He distilled it, and for a short time bathed the cancer with the oil. The growth of the cancer was permanently checked, but was not healed. He lived forty years after the treatment and the cancer never again bothered him.

 

Baryta Mur

Weigelf in Schmiedeberg recommends Baryta muriatica 30th as the best remedy in the angina which is very considerable in Variola vera and in varioloid, to be used at intervals of six, eight and twelve hours.

Three Tips from Dr. George Royal

Ammonium Carbonicum

Next to China I consider Ammonium carbonicum the best remedy for anemia caused by loss of blood.

 

Mercurius Corrosivus

I have found it the best remedy for the most severe form of dysentery with high temp., great thirst, severe chill after drinking, stools almost clear blood, with shreds of the mucous lining of the intestines, constant urging to stool and to micturition and terrible tenesmus.

 

Argentum Nitricum

For disordered stomach especially of children who crave sweets. They have thick, white coated tongue, nausea, eructations, diarrhoea and much flatus; with stool of green mucus like chopped spinach. Argentum Nit is the best remedy we have for the gastritis of drunkards.

Homeopathy – Six Principles

In a talk delivered to the American Institute of Homoeopathy, Dr. A. E. Small of Philadelphia summed up the science of homeopathy in six principles:

1. Each medicine must be prepared by itself, with the greatest care.

2. To prove a medicine it must be given uncombined with any other medicinal agent.

3. The symptoms produced upon the healthy are the only means for a perfect rule by which to administer a remedy to the sick.

4. A disease is an interruption of the vital forces, which can only be overcome by forces as inappreciable as those producing the disease.

5. Only one remedy must be given at a time.

6. Medicines must be sufficiently attenuated to administer upon the similia similibus principle, so as not to produce an unnecessary aggravation of symptoms.
