- The basis of our understanding and utility of potentized X-ray must be the severe and detrimental effects of repeated exposure to these rays so common these days.
- Common sources of radiation injury include ultra-violet radiation from the sun and man-made sources, microwave radiation from radar and ovens and other appliances, high-intensity ultrasound and ionizing radiation from natural and man-made sources etc. Ultra-violet radiation, produced by the sun, is largely absorbed by the atmosphere of earth. However, owing to decreased ozone layer (the ‘green-house effect’), ultra-violet radiation has now considerably increased.
- A general suppression of all cellular elements of blood (except the heterophile leucocytes which increase). Adverse changes in blood, lymphatics and bone marrow. Obstinate anemia and even leukemia. Fats exposed there to become toxic.
On the epidermis
- I Degree: Hyperaemia and infiltration of the skin with exfoliation. Atrophy of the appendages of skin, glands, hair, nails may follow.
- II Degree: Dermatitis: blisters, watery growths with intense pains.
- III Degree: Total destruction and sloughing of tissues, non-healing ulcers, ultimately end in(dry)gangrene. Destruction of blood-forming elements in bone marrow. Bone necrosis. Osteomyelitis.
- Inflammatory processes with pains-the ubiquitous burning, stinging, smarting, tingling, pricking, throbbing, boring, crawling etc. of indescribable severity. “Sting of a honey bee or passage of a renal calculus are painful enough, but before these they are a comparative pleasure;” they have at least a limitation, these have none. Inflammations and growths (warts) tend to break open into ulcers which refuse to heal, assume a fistulous even malignant aspect. In one word, destruction of tissues soft or hard, too deep rooted and utterly refractory even to the most intensive treatment. Consequently, potentised X-ray should offer a powerful agent with a potential to cure the most obstinate chronic diseases.
Highlights:
- Deep seated dyscrasias and chronicity-symptoms go on intermitting and recurring stubbornly (at regular intervals) or symptoms disappear with detriment to the patient due to a deep seated sycotic diathesis, resulting either from a suppressed gonorrhea or cauterized condylomata etc. With Med. it shares the distinction of being a sycotic Sulph.; may even be called a more chronic counterpart of Med. The sycotic aspects of Psor. are also there. Lack of response to the best selected remedies, even to those like Med., Psor., Syph., Thuj. or Tub. considered usually in such states “where a sycotic or syphilitic virus is engrafted on a psoric or a tubercular diathesis” and from a paucity of presenting symptoms, it is difficult to ascertain the prevailing diathesis. Remedies employed so far fail to rouse the overpowered vitality to a degree sufficient to throw out the dominating ‘toxin’. A deep miasmatic involvement in short.
- Our X-ray will, by stimulating cellular metabolism, arouse the reactive vitality (physical and mental) and acting centrifugally (from centre to periphery), bring to surface (like Aur-m.), suppressed symptoms (especially gonorrheal or mixed miasm) or eruptions (with degenerative or multi-infectious history, Carc.).
- Persistent exhaustion and languor, fatigue and tiredness, a miserable feeling as though very sick (Bapt., Onos.). Frequent sensation of swooning (sinking) as if dying. Physical and mental incubus (oppressive burden) making life unbearable.
- Universal commotion. Trembling all over. Thrills (like Lec.), general sensation of electricity, magnetic thrill in right hand, tingling in limbs as of an electric current or as if asleep. Twitching internally in various parts.
- Pains: Stinging (Psor.), congestive (bursting).
- Discharges: Strong smelling (leucorrhoea, sweat, menses), greenish.
- Growths: Warts horny, watery (hygromae) with telangiectasis (capillary dilatation) between them, warts after x-ray exposure (may also need Calc-fl. etc.). Breast tumours. Malignancies; leukemia. Worth trying in lipomas.
- Atrophy: Ovaries; testicles.
- Degenerations: Nails thicken, degenerate, become shapeless masses. Multiple sclerosis. Posterior spinal sclerosis (locomotor ataxia). Keratosis of nails.
Mind:
- Irritable, tendency to kill, < before and during menses. Misanthropy. Somnolence. Confusion. Insightful, possesses ‘x-ray vision’. Deceptive. Mental processes not clear, writes wrong words in letters. Sadness, despondency; after sleep. Suicidal disposition, wants to throw himself from a height.
