Aethusa Cynapium

Aethusa cyan. is for Cholera infantum that comes on very suddenly in hot weather in infancy, with extreme prostration. Death is stamped on the face from the beginning, and if there are any remedies in the book that save life, this is one of them. Hippocratic face, whitish-blue pallor around the lips, eyes are sunken and a sunken condition around the nose. Without Aethusa, in two or three days the undertaker gets that child.

Fear of Gunfire

Borax is violently frightened at a shot, even when heard at a distance. According to my experience, it is an excellent remedy for hunting-dogs who shy at a shot. There are also children who shrink at every shot and have a great and unnatural fear from it.

Homeopathic Therapy of Vaccine Damages and Vaccine InjuriesVaccine Deaths in India

A spate of sudden infant deaths following vaccination in India has prompted leading pediatricians to call for stronger regulatory mechanisms to evaluate new vaccines for safety. According to data obtained from the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, over the last year, 54 babies are recorded to have died soon after receiving the newly introduced “pentavalent” vaccine that is designed to prevent infection by five disease-causing microbes.

Mullein Oil

Preparation — Fill a bottle with the blossoms, from the Verbascum thapsus, add olive oil, cork tightly and hang in the sun for four or five weeks. By that time there will be an oily liquid distilled.  Mix with ten per cent, of alcohol.  In chronic suppurative disease of the tympanum, or in accumulation of detritus in cases of perforation, scarred drum-heads, etc., it acts to dislodge accumulations, free the ossicula from pressure, and thereby improves the hearing. This process goes on for months till the tympanum has thrown out an amount of debris that is surprising.

Zinc

Zinc, is indicated rather by the constitutional rather than the local symptoms. There must be pronounced failure of the nutritive organs, anemia and a weakened circulation to make this drug curative.

Palsy of Tongue in Dogs

Some dogs are subject to palsy of one side of the tongue.  The tongue is lolling out of the mouth, with an inclination towards one side.  The dog can lap up food cannot thoroughly clean his nose with it.  Nux Vomica is the most likely medicine to be of service in such a case. To obtain effects it should be administered regularly for a considerable period.

Bell, Stram, Hyos, Verat Compared

Now, remember this group of facts: Belladonna is fierce and brave;  Stramonium is wild and cowardly;  Hyoscyamus is jolly and companionable ;  Veratrum alb is hopeless and despairing, or wildly plaintive, beseeching for his salvation, which is apparently lost.

Medusa

Medusa or the jelly-fish has effects which are nearly identical with those of Urtica urens. It produces a nettle-rash and also has some slight action on the kidneys.

U.S. Nuke Plants Flawed

All 104 nuclear power reactors now in operation in the United States have a safety problem that cannot be fixed and they should be replaced with newer technology, the former chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said on Monday. Shutting them all down at once is not practical, he said, but he supports phasing them out rather than trying to extend their lives.

A Keynote Observed in Practice

A boy of four was down with fever. When swallowing a mouthful of water it sounded like water rolling into an empty barrel. The sound commenced just as soon as water enters his esophagus and rolls on down into stomach and bowels. On this symptom Hydrocyanic acid was given and the case at once took a turn for the better and recovery followed.

Why Diagnosis is Important in Homeopathy

1. As a general preventive measure, as in contagious diseases.

2. Its importance in the proper management of the individual patient. (You will know which symptoms are common to the ailment.)

3. Relief from unnecessary suspense to patient and friends.

4. It can aid the prescriber by reason of a smaller group of remedies to be considered, from which to select the right one.

  • Sycotic co has been mentioned as a medicine for chronic dysentery? as a general principle bowel nosodes need not be repeated within three months? In case of chronic dysentery what should be its frequency?

  • Many many thanks for valuable tips especially regarding cholera infontum.But many more needed.Also regarding scorpion bite.

  • I find your inclusion of US Wealth statistics and Nuclear issues to be out of place in this venue.
