Some tips from Dr. Erastus Edgerton Marcy – 1815-1900

Ruta
Ruta has been highly extolled as a remedy for rheumatic paralysis of the tarsal and carpal joints. It is also indicated in local paralysis, which has followed surgical operations, or which is owing to injury or pressure upon some particular nerve.

Cataract
Conium and Cannabis may be employed where the cataract has arisen from a wound or other injury to the eye. Magnesia-carbonica, Pulsatilla, Digitalis, and Phosphorus, have proved curative in capsulo-lenticular cataract and also in opacity of the lens or capsule alone.  These remedies are useful when the disease  has  been  accompanied  with ophthalmia.

Phos Acid
Acid-phosphor  is specific in too profuse menstruation, attended with swelling and pain in the liver.

Camphor
Camphor is the specific against dysuria caused by the absorption of Cantharides.

Nephritis
Nephritis can sometimes be cured by Aconite alone. In all cases this medicine should be kept in view, since the local phenomena are usually accompanied by a violent fever. (Kreussler, Therap., p. 105.)

Calclarea carbonicum
The specificity of Calcarea on the system of nutrition indicates its general usefulness during the general period of development, and in diseases accompanied by excessive emaciation or obesity.

Gangrene cured
A young man, whose tibia and fibula were crushed under a large grindstone, ankle joint contused and lacerated.   On the 7th day gangrene commenced with bluish purple vesicles, covering a dirty-ash-gray ground, and offensive odor.  Amputation now the only resource of surgery.   Lachesis 6 was tried in one dose.   In six hours, the nature of the case was entirely changed, in twenty-four hours the blisters had disappeared, swelling gone down and two days later the dead portions sloughed off.  The wounds granulated favorably and the foot was saved.

Rabies
An instance is given in Hufeland’s Journal, in which a rabid man bit several others, all of whom died from rabies except two, who were treated with Belladonna.

Camphor
This is a good remedy for  poisoning by vegetable substances;  sharp, acrid, burning poisons, which  cause inflammation and redness; in all cases of poisoning in which there are:  vomiting and diarrhoea and the patient cold as  ice, almost senseless.

Malignant disease of the eye
Belladonna has cured malignant disease of the eye, attended with violent pains in the eyeball, a red shining point in the posterior chamber, pupils dilated and immovable, unusual hardness of the substance of the eye, iris of a dark color, and covered with injected blood-vessels.   Malignant affections of the eye have also been cured by Conium, Carbo-vegetabilis,  Arsenicum,  Mercurius,  Acid-nitr.,  Calcarea carbonica, and Iodine.

Antibodies Instead of Vaccines May Protect Against Covid

Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers have isolated two antibodies that neutralize all known strains of COVID-19 – including Omicron – with up to 95% efficiency and will strengthen the immune systems of people at risk.

These may serve as a substitute for vaccines, especially for at-risk populations and those with weakened immune systems, according to the researchers. By using antibody treatment, there is a possibility that the need to provide repeated booster shots to the entire population every time a new variant emerges will be eliminated.

Ultra-processed foods increase risk of colorectal cancer

The consumption of ultra-processed foods can increase the risk of colorectal cancer, a new study shows. The study, published this week in the medical journal The BMJ, analyzed the diets of over 46,000 men and 150,000 women to trace the correlation between what they ate and cases of colorectal cancer. Men who consumed ultra-processed foods in the highest fifth had a 29% higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than did those in the lowest fifth.,”

Ultra-processed foods include “prepackaged soups, sauces, frozen pizza, ready-to-eat meals and pleasure foods such as hot dogs, sausages, french fries, sodas, store-bought cookies, cakes, candies, doughnuts, ice cream” and more.

Synthetic Embryo Grown from Stem Cells

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of the body – a new avenue for recreating the first stages of life.

The team, led by Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, developed the embryo model without eggs or sperm, and instead used stem cells – the body’s master cells, which can develop into almost any cell type in the body.

Button (Lithium) batteries being swallowed by children

There are on average one battery related visit to an emergency room every 1.25 hours among children under 18. The batteries can cause severe internal burns. In one child, the battery burned a hole through his esophagus into his trachea and burned his vocal cords.
