РЕКОМЕНДАЦИИ
Прибор с индивидуальными программами
ПРИБОР МОЩНОСТЬ 3 ВРЕМЯ НА ЧАСТОТУ 5.
1-ферменты
Ферменты принимаются по схеме -по 1 таблетке 3 раза вдень за 15 мин до еды в течение 1 месяца. Затем 2 недели отдых (не принимать ферменты) и затем повторить прием ферментов ,по такой же схеме еще 4 раза .
Стандартный список запрещенных продуктов.
Субпродукты;
Копчености;
Все молочнокислые продукты и молоко
Маргарин;
Готовые соусы;
Сладости, белая выпечка, десерты.
Мясо жирных сортов
Все виды крупы
Картофель
ЯЙЦА
Яйца лучше вообще исключить из употребления в чистом виде, ведь их рекомендовано употреблять не более 2 в неделю, и определенное количество яиц содержится в составе блюд.
o
Кофе
o Кофе с молоком и сахаром запрещают по вполне очевидной причине. Но почему нельзя пить кофе без сахара и молока? Кофе содержит кафестол, это активное вещество повышает уровень холестерина крови. Согласно исследованиям, уровень холестерина повышается на 6-8% при потреблении 5 чашек кофе в день.
o Кафестол образуется в процессе варки кофе. Он полностью отсутствует в растворимом кофе. Однако его употребление возможно только при отсутствии проблем с почками, ЖКТ, печенью.
o
ПИТАНИЕ
Диета помогает только при условии выполнения основных правил: принимать пищу дробно (5 и более раз) и небольшими порциями. Последний раз рекомендовано есть за 1 – 2 часа до сна. Готовить нужно практически без применения соли. Вторые блюда готовятся методом варки, запекания или на пару. К продуктам предъявляются следующие требования:
Сбалансированная по составу пища.
Необходимо присутствие в меню продуктов с повышенным содержанием холина и метионина — они расщепляют жиры. Сюда относятся растительные масла.
Нужно стараться чаще есть рыбу и продукты, богатые магнием и калием.
ПРОДУКТЫ, КОТОРЫЕ РАЗРЕШАЕТСЯ КУШАТЬ
окунь, судак; свекла, капуста, морковь, кабачки; крольчатина, говядина, хлеб из муки грубого помола или отрубей (исключить весь белый хлеб и все продукты, приготовленные из белой муки); нежирные мясные и рыбные продукты — индейка и курица без кожи, щука,
треска; первые блюда на овощном бульоне йодсодержащие дары моря — кальмары, креветки, морская капуста, омлет из белков или яйца всмятку — 4 шт. в неделю; несоленый и нежирный сыр; зелень и овощи вроде кабачков и тыквы, снижающие холестерин; масла растительные в виде заправки к салатам; сухие и свежие фрукты и ягоды; напитки из цикория и ячменя, отвар шиповника, компот; фруктовые муссы и желе, мед, мармелад; корица, ванилин, лавровый лист, тмин — продукты для улучшения вкусовых качеств пищи

Теория гомотоксикоза доктора Рекевега
(токсины- главный источник проблем со здоровьем)
• 1. Естественное выведение токсинов
• 2. Воспаление и активное выведение токсинов
• 3.Накопление токсинов и возникновение вторичных инфекций
• 4.Проникновение токсинов внутрь клетки
• 5.Разрушение клеток и образование продуктов распада
• 6.Появление злокачественных образований
Собственная система выведения токсинов из организма состоит из 6 этапов.
1 этап работает способность печени делать токсины не активными. Этот путь детоксикации является одним из основных. Те вещества, которые печень может обезвредить и вывести, поступают в желчь и потом через желудочно-кишечный тракт выбрасываются из организма. Вещества, которые организм не может обезвредить, поступают непосредственно в кровь. Попавшие в кровь токсины, попадают во все органы и клетки организма и оседают в межклеточном матриксе. И таким образом происходит, так называемая блокада межклеточного матриксе. На первых этапах организм еще сам справляется с функцией выделения этих токсинов.
2 этап уже пытается вмешаться иммунная система, которая старается сосредоточить эти накопленные токсины или инфекцию в каком-либо одном месте и не дать ей распространиться. И это выражается такой местной воспалительной реакцией, как( лимфангит, конъюнктивит, ринит, цистит, колит, отит и.др). В одном месте локализуется инфекция, и иммунная система пытается максимально ограничить ее распространение по организму.
На этих этапах очень легко и удобно пользоваться прибором. Он быстро и эффективно выводит токсины из организма.
3 фаза иммунная система уже не справляется и возникает накопление токсинов в тканях, их депонирование и отложение в межклеточном матриксе и заболевание из острой или подострой стадии переходит в хронический процесс. Возникают хронические заболевания. Депонирование – этот более экономный режим и он запускает фазу дегенерации.
4 фаза – клеточная фаза, когда клетка до такой степени страдает от отсутствия питательных веществ, что это приводит к возникновению различных тяжелых заболеваний (аутоиммунные заболевания, атрофические заболевания, сахарный диабет и др.).
5и 6 фазы – это доброкачественные и злокачественная опухоли, как крайняя степень накопления токсинов.
Для сохранения и восстановления здоровья
• 1. Очистить организм от шлаков, токсинов и паразитов.
• 2. Восстановить поврежденные органы и системы
• 3. Восстановить энергетику
• 4. Накормить клетку
• 5 Гидратация клетки

Устройство для коррекции естественных
природных биосистем Life Balance
Это прибор для усиления собственных
защитных сил и корректировки естественных электромагнитных излучений
природных биосистем.
Внимание: Устройства для корректировки естественных природных
биосистем Life Balance не является изделием медицинского назначения !
Назначение устройства
Основной принцип работы “ Life Balance” заключается в коррекции функций
организма с помощью воздействия электромагнитных излучений. При этом все
излучения имеют определенные параметры, способные взаимодействовать с
биоритмами организма человека. Воздействие основано на индивидуальном
подборе определенной частоты, которая, вследствие воздействия на организм,
способна усилить физиологические процессы, проводя гармонизацию и
стабилизацию всех процессов в организме человека путем воздействия слабыми
электромагнитными сигналами

Уровни воздействия.
Приборе имеет пять уровней интенсивности излучения (мощность).
1-й уровень используется для профилактики и коррекции организма при имеющихся не выраженных изменениях в органах и системах.
Прибор следует располагать как можно ближе к проблемной зоне (например: сердце, бронхо-легочная система – нагрудный карман, мочеполовая система – карман брюк и т. д.).
2-й уровень интенсивности используется при наличии вялотекущих хронических воспалительных процессах в органах и системах, во время обострения, а так же при наличии острых воспалительных изменениях в организме .
3-й уровень интенсивности рекомендуется устанавливать при использовании прибора в условиях незначительной удаленности.
4-й уровень интенсивности рекомендуется при работе под наблюдением врача после проведения тестирования на оборудовании Life Prof. Этот режим может использоваться при расположении прибора как в непосредственной вблизи к телу , так и на расстоянии 1 метра.

Например профилактического использования при сезонных вирусных нагрузках. Желательно 5 режим использовать под наблюдением врача.
Внимание: При использовании индивидуально составленных программ в автоматическом режиме, по результатам тестирования на устройстве Лайф Эксперт, использовать 1 или 2 уровни интенсивности воздействия. Уровни 3 , 4, 5 использовать под наблюдением врача.
Возможности прибора
● Наличие встроенных 35 антипаразитарных программ, 35 программ
регуляции и гармонизации,1 программа Life Energy (универсальная
программа для снятия усталости и нормализации защитных функций
организма.
● Радиус действия до 1,5 м
● Диапазон рабочих частот 0,1Гц — 100 КГц;
● Шаг установки частоты: 0.01 Гц;
● Количество внутренних антенн – излучателей – 2шт., работающих на
несущих частотах 27МГц и 10 КГц
● Программирование прибора комплексами без программатора через
стандартный USB-шнур;
● Ручная регулировка уровня сигнала;
● Цветной экран с мультиязычным меню;
● Питание: Li-Ion аккумулятор;
Время непрерывной работы регламентировано выбором уровня интенсивности
излучения прибора и составляет 3-8 часов.
Прибор Life Balance имеет две антенны и соответственно две несущие частоты 27,12 МГц и 10 КГц. Обе эти несущие частоты являются „окнами прозрачности” организма человека. Это значит, что они не вызывают колебания и нагрева тканей органов и поэтому не вносят постороннюю энергию, не создают нагрузку и являются максимально безопасными для здоровья. Несущая частота используется для внесения в организм рабочих частот.
В антенне АР рабочие частоты лежат в диапазоне от 0.1 Гц до 100 КГц. Сигналы на осциллографе выглядят как прямоугольные импульсные пакеты. Именно такой сигнал вызывает максимальный резонанс с паразитами и приводит к их разрушению. Частоты избирательно воздействуют на различные виды инфекций, не затрагивая полезную микрофлору и не причиняя вреда органам и тканям человека.
Известно, что частой причиной заболеваний, является наличие в организме вредоносных агентов – бактерий, вирусов, инфекций и других форм: от паразитарных до патологических, с которыми наш иммунитет полностью справиться не в состоянии, в результате болезнь из острой формы переходит в хроническую. Поэтому для качественного устранения причины заболевания, необходимо, сначала полностью удалить возбудителя, далее очистить организм и только потом восстанавливать органы и системы. Для осуществления наиболее эффективного комплекса мероприятий, направленных на устранение причин болезней и направлена наша АП антенна, которая работает на частоте 0,1Гц до 100КГц. – что по безопасности, безобиднее слушания радиопередач, которые вещают в диапазоне 80-100Мгц. В процессе воздействия прибор подаёт частоту строго соответствующую частоте микроорганизма, но по силе, превышающую его собственные колебания, в результате происходит разрыв внешней оболочки агента, что приводит к полному его разрушению, и следовательно уничтожению любой паразитарной формы, на которую направлено воздействие.
В организме человека каждый орган имеет свою частоту
колебания. В человеке насчитывается около 300 циклических
колебаний органов (сердца, желудка, кишечника). Например,
собственная частота колебаний вестибулярного аппарата
(который находится в среднем ухе) равна 0,5-1,3 Гц, желудка 2-
3 Гц, кишечника 2-4 Гц, сердца 4-6 Гц, почки 6-8 Гц,
мускулатуры 20 Гц, глаз 40-100 Гц. Если органы работают
нормально, то их ритмы, сливаясь, образуют гармонию и
человек в этом случае здоров.

В гармонизирующей антенне рабочие частоты лежат в диапазоне от 0.1 до 100 Гц. Антенна генерирует сверхслабые низкочастотные сигналы в виде треугольных спайк- импульсом (всплеск и затухание). Частота этих импульсов соответствует спектрам частот здоровых органов. Такое мягкое щадящее воздействие вызывает резонанс в органах, восстанавливая их энергию и природные ритмы. Поэтому мы получаем пролонгированный регуляторный восстановительный эффект. Это низкочастотная волновая терапия.
Метод низкочастотной электромагнитной терапии, заключается в приведении органов и систем к первоначальным, здоровым колебаниям, и что не маловажно к мягкому, естественному восстановлению утраченного здоровья на клеточном уровне. Экспериментально доказано: если рядом с больным человеком поместить источник электромагнитных колебаний, излучающий частоты здоровых органов, организм воспринимает их как свои собственные и подстраивается под норму. Терапия основана на резонансных явлениях. В данном случае явление резонанса характерно тем, что если подавать слабые токи определенной частоты, то в теле человека на данные токи будут реагировать только биологические ткани, работающие на этой частоте. При таком подходе невозможно передозировать воздействие или навредить человеку, так как дополнительной энергии прибор в организм не вносит, как это происходит при обычной электрофизиотерапии.
ВРЕМЯ НА ЧАСТОТУ
Если прибором пользуются взрослые и дети, то можно установить время 3 – 5 минут и прибором могут пользоваться и взрослые и дети, лечебный эффект будет на них распространяться одинаково. Время, которое необходимо для полного лечебного эффекта, у каждого человека разное, поэтому время устанавливается приблизительно. Ребенку достаточно 1 или 2 минуты, так как у детей воды больше в организме, поэтому процессы у них происходят быстрей, а так, в принципе, никакой разницы нет. Взрослому человеку может быть тоже достаточно 3 минуты, а действуем 5минутами, и это неважно: все, что не резонирует, просто проходит мимо и организм на сигнал не реагирует. В случае пожилых людей и людей с тяжелыми хроническими проблемами время на частоту может составлять и 7- 8 -10 мин.
Приборы можно применять с рождения. Эффективность у детей выше, чем у взрослых. Хорошо влияет программа Антистресс — дети хорошо засыпают и спят. На программе Регуляция желудочно-кишечного тракта хорошо отходят газы, и живот не беспокоит.
Противопоказания к применению
Абсолютные:
● Наличие имплантируемого электрокардиостимулятора
● Наличие трансплантируемых органов
Относительные:
● Доброкачественные и злокачественные новообразования
● Нарушение свёртываемости крови

Внимание : В процессе использования программ возможно обострение основного заболевания, которое может сопровождаться общим недомоганием, слабостью, диареей, учащением мочеиспускания, жаждой, сонливостью, температурной реакцией. В этом случае следует увеличить интервал между сеансами для улучшения самочувствия. Все реакции могут наблюдаться только в первые две недели применения прибора. Данные явления связаны с индивидуальной реакцией организма на волновые воздействия устройства и свидетельствуют об усилении выделительных реакций загрязненного организма. В некоторых случаях возможно появление реакций в более поздние сроки и сохранение дискомфортного состояния в течение 1 месяца после начала применения устройства .

Кожа это одним из органов выделения. Если родственные органы — легкие и толстая кишка — не функционируют надлежащим образом, блокируется естественный выброс токсинов, а на коже появляется сыпь. При эффективной работе органов выделения и здоровой диете ваша кожа будет здоровой. По этой причине людям, страдающим хроническими кожными заболеваниями, часто предписывают режим голодания и очищение крови.
Центральная нервная система – регуляция и интеграция жизненных функций организма.
Система органов дыхания – обеспечение организма кислородом, который необходим для всех биохимических процессов, выделение углекислого газа.
Система органов кровообращения – обеспечение транспорта питательных веществ в клетку и освобождение её от продуктов жизнедеятельности.
Система органов кроветворения – обеспечение постоянства состава крови.
Система органов пищеварения – потребление, переработка, усвоение питательных веществ, выделение продуктов жизнедеятельности
Система органов мочевыделения и кожа – выделение продуктов жизнедеятельности, очистка организма
Репродуктивная система – воспроизводство организма
Эндокринная система – регуляция биоритма жизни, основных процессов обмена веществ и поддержание постоянства внутренней среды
Костно-мышечная система – обеспечение структурности, функций передвижения
Лимфатическая система – осуществление очищения организма и обезвреживание чужеродных агентов
Иммунная система – обеспечение защиты организма от вредных и чужеродных факторов
Периферическая нервная система – обеспечение протекания процессов возбуждения и торможения, проведение команд ЦНС до рабочих органов.
Функции систем заложены природой, как саморегулирующиеся. Ничто не может до бесконечности повышаться или понижаться.
Главная задача всех систем нашего организма: поддерживать гомеостаз, то есть равновесие и баланс. Баланс это и есть здоровье.
Наша задача помочь организму вернуть этот баланс. Как же мы можем воздействовать на организм человека, на функции его систем?
ДЕВИАЦИЯ
Девиация применима только для паразитарных программ. Рекомендуется устанавливать не более чем 5% . Это означает, что частота начнет плавать на 6% до частоты и 3% после частоты. Т.е. принцип сканирования (постепенного перебора частот). Это исключает выработку паразитами и их поколениями устойчивости к воздействию электроимпульсных сигналов. По времени рекомендуется устанавливать 5 секунд.
Увеличение процента девиации (10% максимум, до 7 сек) рекомендуется в случае если пациент не реагирует на терапию. Т.е. спустя несколько дней лечения влияние прибора на паразитарную инфекцию не наблюдается.
В каком положении лучше находиться при терапии приборами?
В общем-то организму все равно, в каком положении вы будете находиться и в какой обстановке. Есть только несколько программ, которые рекомендуется проводить при определенных условиях.
Это программа Восстановление венозной системы при лечении варикозного расширения вен. Чтобы дать возможность венам регенерироваться, программа проводится на ночь, нужно лежать в постели со слегка приподнятыми ногами (подложить подушку или одеяло).
При проведении программ Артриты, Артрозы требуется наличие физической нагрузки: необходимо вращать суставами до максимума возможного состояния. То же правило распространяется на лечение и регенерацию связок.
Что касается анти паразитарных программ вообще не имеет значения, где вы находитесь и в каком состоянии, единственное не рекомендуется ставить прибор на ночь когда вы спите и не пьете воду

Детоксикация
Организм человека — это целостная система, которая существует неразрывно, и каждый орган связан с другими либо анатомически, либо энергетически. Весь организм человека — это совокупная система, и заболевание, которое проявляется на каком-либо уровне, это только симптом общего заболевания всего организма. Поэтому лечение любого органа, патологии, заболевания нужно начинать с общего очищения организма и лечения самого организма, а не каждого органа отдельно.

ВОЗМОЖНО СТАВИТЬ ТАК ЖЕ И ДРУГИЕ ПРОГРАММЫ ИЗ РАЗДЕЛА ДЕТОКСИКАЦИЯ ВСЕ ЗАВИСИТ ОТ СЛУЧАЯ И НЕОБХОДИМОСТИИ.
Детоксикация организма — это печеночный дренаж, программа Дренаж — это стимулирующая программа всех органов иммунной системы, эндокринной, гормональной, выделительной системы, системы кровообращения, логически построенная и серьезная. Лимфа и детокс осуществляет очистку лимфы. При проблемах, связанных с печенью, циррозах, особенно при гепатитах, при проблемах, связанных с поджелудочной железой, длительных заболеваниях, связанных с лимфой, таких как онкология, нужно использовать не программой Дренаж, а Лимфа и детокс. Лимфа и детокс позволяет выводить токсины через лимфатическую систему.
Программы Антисептик Райфом используются в случае, когда есть недифференцированная инфекция. При любой смешанной инфекции выставлять четыре программы Антисептик последовательно. Конкретных указаний, какая из программ действует на бактерии, вирусы, простейшие, Райфом не сделано. Он дает в комплексе, все программы одну за другой, и использовать, в принципе, можно при любой ситуации, а так же при гнойных заболеваниях, причина которых не установлена.

Вирусы
Если есть гельминты они очень закисляют среду и лечение других инфекций не происходит. Если на пример есть острый вирусный процесс, то снимаем сначала его но, не долечиваем и идем на крупные паразиты.
При лечении вирусной инфекции можно брать в работу разные классы вирусов, в случае если не известен вирус берем в работу программы TR1 и TR2.

Если происходит повторное заражение, то паразиты находились на какой-то другой стадии развития (личиночные стадии). В данном случае необходимо программу провести дольше — в течение 2 месяцев. Обязательно выставлять программу по яйцам гельминтов.
ГЕЛЬМИНТЫ
Вы можете использовать антигельминтную программу даже вместе с лечением уреаплазмы. Лечение инфекций, передающихся половым путем, не дает интоксикации. Интоксикацию могут дать только гельминты.

СЕРДЕЧНО СОСУДИСТЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ
Атеросклероз в следствии нарушения липидного и белкового обмена, а также атеросклероз Менкеберга, отложение солей кальция на в средней оболочке артерий (стенка сосудов утолщается теряя эластичность) острые и хронические интоксикации. Все это приводит к:
1 появляются боли
2 нарушение сердечного ритма и кровообращения
3 стенокардия покоя и при нагрузке
4 инфаркт миокарда (некроз мышечной ткани)
Варикоз
Нарушение внутренней стенки вен. Мышечное сокращение помогает поддерживать циркуляцию крови в венах. Проблема варикозного расширения вен возникает, если есть застой (миомах, беременности, долгое стояние на ногах, при наличии паразитов в крови и т.д.). Проявляется болью, тяжесть в ногах, покраснением кожи, появлением узлов на венах и до образование трофических язв. При варикозном расширении вен и при геморрое применяем одинаковые программы.

Лимфология
Лимфа – система сосудов которая выводит жидкость из мезенхимы. При онкология образуются отеки лимфатического происхождения, когда лимфатический узел разрастается и блокирует путь сосудов. При этом состоянии помочь не можем. Если лимфатический узел блокируется инфекцией (закупорка лимфатических сосудов и узлов шлаками, гельминтами, простейшими и другой инфекцией) помочь можем.
Программы АП:
- лимфа и детокс при всех заболеваниях связанных с проблемами лимфы
- лимфангит
- лимфаденит
- лимфостаз
- разрастание лимфатический ткани (аденоиды)
Лор болезни
Все ЛОР органы объединены общей системой соединения, в этих органах общая слизистая оболочка, которая позволяет инфекции передвигаться. По микробиологическому составу все ЛОР болезни вызваны чаще стафилококком, стрептококком, то есть гноеродными бактериями.
Стрептококки дают бурную картину, ангины очень токсичны ,здесь нужна терапия на поддержание сердца, почек и сосудов. Чаще всего к стрептококкам присоединяется кандида. Потому, что на месте гибели микро организмов создается очень хорошая флора для грибка кандида. Сифилитическая ангина проходит безболезненно, есть симптомы ангины есть язвы боли нет. ПРОГРАММЫ АП

ГЕПАТОГЛОГИЯ
Печень
Дискинезия желчевыводящих путей у детей связана с лямблиозом.
Программы АП:
- дренах желчевыводящих путей
- программы на инфекцию
- заболевание печени и желчного пузыря
- застой желчи желчных протоках
- лимфа и детокс
- Программы Терапевтические
Камни в желчном пузыре
Образование камней в желчном пузыре может послужить не правильное питание, стрессы, кровотечения, застой, паразитарная флора (острицы, аскариды, тени, грибы, лямблия, амеба, токсоплазма, кишечная палочка, сальмонелла, вирус Коксакки, гепатит, шистосома и т.д.). Желчь имеет щелочную реакцию, она скапливается возле мертвого агента, это служит началом образования хлопьев и после подключается кальций, билирубин и холестерин и начинается рост камня. Камни могут быть билирубиновые и холестериновые. Если камень больше чем 3 мм необходима операция. Если камни мигрируют в желчевыводящие путь тоже необходима операция.
В случае проведения терапии начинаем работать с печенью и инфекцией, которая вызывает в ней нарушение. Когда печень начинает работать хорошо меняется физико-химический состав желчи и камень растворяется. Процесс идет медленно 3-4 месяца, что бы камень набух и начал разрушаться.

Если разбалансировка по нескольким чакрам, можно ли сразу поставить программу «7 ЧАКР»?
НЕОБХОДИМО найти самый разбалансированный центр и ему в первую очередь помогать. Работаем на ЧАКРУ которая наиболее требует помощи, когда снимается «пробка» с этой чакры, другие начинают «подтягиваться», начинают уравновешиваться. Можно взять два центра, но не больше. Это очень быстро восстанавливающая система, поэтому здесь надо 2-3 дня поработать и прекратить. После этого опять сделать замеры. Чаще всего этого достаточно, чтобы обеспечить энергетикой тот орган или ту систему, чтобы они начали излечиваться.
В программе 7ЧАКР выдается на каждую чакру по одной частоте по 5 минут.

- снижения сахара в крови
- восстановления сосудистой стенки, которая страдает в почках, нижних конечностях и глазах.
Но, восстановить поджелудочную железу, если человек уже длительно применял инсулин не можем, поскольку с течением времени, в которое применяется инсулин, происходит атрофия тех зон, в которых вырабатывается инсулин
Не инсулинозависимый диабет поддается лечению.

ЛИМФА И ДЕТОКСИКАЦИЯ
«Активная защита»
Активная защита выставляется утром, потому, что она активизирует организм. Она работает как раз в то время, когда работает эндокринная система и иммунитет. Программу нужно выставлять только в первой половине дня лучше всего ее включать сразу после того, как вы проснулись. Можно ее включать и при утренней зарядке. Программу можно выставлять до 3 раз в день. Активная защита — это комплексная программа, которая направлена не только на надпочечники, но и на центральные механизма управления иммунной системой. Активация иммунной системы — эта программа больше воздействует на надпочечники. Стимуляция иммунной системы осуществляется так же через надпочечники.
При сахарном диабете и аллергиях нельзя применять программы стимуляция и активация иммунной системы при этих патологии необходимо применять стабилизация иммунной системы, так как при сахарном диабете и аллергии уже имеется повышенная гиперактивность иммунной системы.
ГИНЕКОЛОГИЯ
От содержания гормонов зависит состояние женского организма. При нарушении гормонального статуса (в зависимости от симптомов) применяем программы
- программы регуляции менструального цикла
- дисменорея
- матка
- яичники
- проходимость маточных труб (Если непроходимость маточных труб вызвана недавним воспалительным процессом и формирование рубцов еще не завершено, т.е., соединительная ткань еще рыхлая, то помочь можно).
Применяем программу Дисменорея, в которой введены, как раз частоты и по восстановлению проходимости маточных труб и регенерации всей мочеполовой системы.
КЛИМАКС
Программы Терапевтические
- жар
- пот

МАМАЛОГИЯ
Ткань молочной железы также реагирует на все изменения гормонов.
Программы Терапевтические
- молочных желез – для улучшения бюста
- молочных желез воспаление
- молочных желез гипофункция
- молочных желез киста
- молочной железы
В молочных железах ничего просто так не образуется. Поскольку эта ткань, непосредственно реагирует на стимуляцию, которую дают яичники. Поэтому начинаем лечение с яичников.
Программы Терапевтические
- яичники
- эндокринные железы контрольные частота
- мочеполовая система женская
- молочные железы
И ПО НЕОБХОДИМОСТИ - молочные железы гипофункция
- молочные железы воспаление
Не забываем об инфекциях, передающиеся половым путём. Банальный кандидоз может стать причиной нарушения функции яичников, вследствие воспалительных процессов в тазовой области и в тонком кишечнике.

Дисплазия МАТКИ
Чаще всего дисплазии шейки матки вызывают инфекции — генитальный герпес и вирус папилломы человека, но и другая инфекция может принимать участие микоплазма, уреаплазма, трихомонада, хламидии, гардинелла, кандида
В первую очередь, надо начать с удаления вируса герпеса и папиллома вируса. Затем работаем над уреаплазмой, хламидиями и над всеми другими инфекциями.

Головные боли
Существует много видов головной боли. У головного мозга нет рецепторов болевой чувствительности, поэтому он болеть не может. Головные боли связаны с состоянием сосудов, а также может быть вызвана, интоксикация при неправильном пищеварении, от химических продуктов, от заболевания печени и желчного пузыря, длительный прем лекарственных препаратов, гормональные нарушения, проблемы связанные с позвоночником, с почками , с центральной нервной системой и т.д.

ГЛАЗА И СВЯЗЬ ИХ С ДРУГИМИ ОРГАНАМИ
При заболеваниях глаз, когда применяем программы (глаукома,
катаракта и т. д.) лечение не получается полноценным, потому
что необходимо учесть, чем контролируются глаза. Глаза имеют
взаимосвязь с пищеварительной системой, желчным пузырём и
печенью и соответственно, программы, которые необходимо
применять это по паразитам печени, желудочно-кишечного
тракта и желчного пузыря.
Когда дополнительно включаете эти программы, то улучшение
состояния глаз происходит намного быстрее.
Офтальмология
Все глазное дно – это нервная ткань
Конъюнктивиты – воспаление слизистой оболочки чаще вызывается стафилококками и вирусами.

Катаракта – дегенеративное заболевание. Плотная зрелая катаракта не поддается лечению. Поддается лечению катаракта, которая только образуется, а так же необходимо применять капли в глаза.
Астигматизм – смещение оси проходящего светового сигнала и отражение его на глазном дне. Необходимо заинтересовать все структуры глаза (хрусталик, глазное дно, мышцы)
Зрение на прямую связано с печенью. Программа печень обязательна при лечении глазных болезней

Глаукома – это заболевание глаз, при котором имеется
повышенное внутриглазное давление, которое постепенно
ведет к постепенной атрофии зрительного нерва и потере
зрения. Это состояние является из основных причин
необратимой слепоты у людей старше 65 лет.
Факторы риска: повышенное внутриглазное давление – ранняя
диагностика позволяет приостановить развитее с помощью
глазных капель, которые понижают внутриглазное давление.
Фактор риска: заболевания, увеличивающие вероятность
поражения глаукомой – сахарный диабет, гипертоническая
болезнь, не своевременное лечение болезней,
усиливающих опасность возникновения глаукомы.
Глаукома – трудно поддается лечению. Если не вылечим, то есть возможность остановить развитие заболевания
Паркинсон, Альцгеймер – причиной возникновения этих заболеваний могут стать, как паразиты, так и тяжелые металлы, в результате этого происходит тяжелая токсическая нагрузка на мозг. Из металлов чаще алюминий, который вытесняет магний из клеток мозга и заменяет его
Остеопороз – проблема, нет усвоения Са в крови.

Рекомендации при проведении оздоравливающих комплексов применяя прибор ЛАЙФ БАЛАНС
• Употреблять большое количество чистой воды до 30мл на килограмм веса, небольшими порциями, но равномерно в течение суток.
• Следить за ежедневным очищением кишечника.
• Проводить водные процедуры, поскольку токсины выделяются и через кожу.
• Соблюдать функциональную диету. Питание должно быть лёгким и сбалансированным, включая прием адекватно подобранных пищевых добавок необходимо обеспечить организм аминокислотами животного и растительного происхождения, микро- и макроэлементами, витаминами. Известно, что отсутствие одной незаменимой аминокислоты или микроэлемента приводит к синтезу дефектного белка или невозможности синтезировать гормон или фермент.
Не проводить курсы против инфекционных программ (от глистов, грибов, бактерий, вирусов и простейших) до завершения основного комплекса программ детоксикации организма. Дополнительная токсическая нагрузка при выведении глистов может проявиться в виде интоксикации, боли в животе, тошноте. Бактерии и вирусы часто проживают в глистах и простейших и поэтому их надо удалять после глистов и простейших. Хламидии нельзя убрать из организма, если есть трихомонады, поскольку первые могут существовать и размножаться внутри трихомонад
После комплексного использования программ в большинстве случаев отмечается позитивная динамика в функциональном состоянии организма, а именно:
• стойкое улучшение настроения;
• появление чувства радости;
• исчезновение страха, печали;
• исчезновение депрессии;
• исчезновение агрессивности;
• исчезновение головной боли;
• улучшение работы кишечника;
• исчезновение отеков на ногах;
• улучшение физической активности;
• снятие аллергического отека;
• снижение сахара в крови у больной диабетом;
• улучшение фазы засыпания;
• уменьшение усталости с утра;
• изменение запаха пота;
• быстрое выздоровление при простудных заболеваниях;
• снижение или исчезновение боли в суставах;
• исчезновение геморроидальных узлов;
• укрепление ногтевых пластинок;
• исчезновение бородавок на стопах.

FOREWORD to the Fourth Edition
The rapid increase in new developments in and knowledge of the field covered
by the Antihomotoxic Materia Medica that has occurred in recent years has made
a comprehensive revision of the contents of Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg’s
Homoeopathia Antihomotoxica an urgent necessity.
In addition, to simplify matters for the practising therapist, volume I (A Selective
Pharmacology) and volume II (Index of Symptoms and Modalities) have for the
first time been combined into a single work.
The Homoeopathia Antihomotoxica is now also available for the first time on
CD-ROM, allowing information to be retrieved rapidly and conveniently, so that the
user can browse backwards and forwards between the homoeopathic remedies
described in the first part and their characteristics in the second part.
The first part of the book assigns remedies to clinical indications, symptoms and
modalities. Shown here in bold under ‘Indication’ is the indication as defined by the
Monograph Preparation Commission D for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy,
which in many cases is also the principal indication according to the Materia Medica
Antihomotoxica. Also listed are the main (secondary or tertiary) symptoms
established in clinical provings, which have been included in part II (A Selective
Pharmacology).
Since the clinical indications are listed in alphabetical order, the user can easily
gain a detailed picture of each of the substances listed and – taking account of the
cardinal symptoms and modalities – narrow them down to find the one best suited
to the patient. More detailed information about the profile of the individual remedies
is given in the Materia Medica in part II.
This contains, in alphabetical order, monographs on all the antihomotoxic
substances. Each monograph contains full definitions of raw materials, their names
as listed partly in the current official German Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia and/or
the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia US (HPUS), plus clinical information such as indications,
symptoms and modalities.
In addition to the already documented drug provings in the previous edition
comprehensive, homoeopathic remedy profiles have been produced for up to 40
antihomotoxic substances, the clinical indications and use of which have hitherto
been based exclusively on practical experience.
For greater ease of reference to part II (A Selective Pharmacology), an extensive
index has been compiled that includes the substance names used in the classic
homoeopathic literature (repertories), in the German Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia
(2001) and in the titles of the corresponding Commission D monograph published
in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette). The index also includes
colloquial names.
Ingredients that are no longer used in homoeopathic antihomotoxic therapy have
been omitted from this text. This may, for example, be to protect endangered species
or – particularly in the case of certain nosodes – because the considerable difficulties
VI
involved in obtaining the raw materials make it impossible to guarantee a supply of
these substances in the quality and quantity required.
An overview of the ingredients contained in antihomotoxic products
(homoeopathic compound remedies) is included as a separate supplement.
We hope that the new, completely revised edition of the Homoeopathia
Antihomotoxica will also prove a useful reference work for those wishing to
familiarize themselves with the substances used in antihomotoxic medicine and
their therapeutic capabilities. This work allows the therapist to see at a glance the
characteristics of the substances contained in antihomotoxic combination remedies
and single-agent Injeels. Their classification by indication, symptoms and
modalities in part I also allows similars to be identified.
The author and the publishers always welcome readers’ suggestions, praise and
criticisms.

AUTHOR’S Introduction
Now that homotoxicology has given scientific substance to the working principles
of the homoeopathic remedies through extensive literature on homotoxins, it has
become increasingly necessary to make these remedies accessible to physicians for
their therapeutic work by supplying a description of the chief individual
homoeopathic remedies used in treatment to effect antihomotoxic stimulation of the
body’s defensive systems.
Over the past 40 years, combination remedies have been developed, and these
exhaustively described in specialist literature. Descriptions also exist of numerous
individual homoeopathic remedies, among them the most commonly used
polychrests in homoeopathy. However, these descriptions are dispersed throughout
the relevant literature, and it is therefore highly necessary to collate them into one
volume.
This is all the more necessary since the range of individual substances used in
antihomotoxic therapy far exceeds that of the homoeopathic remedies in common
use and which are described in the homoeopathic materia medicas.
It has been made clear in the scientific explanation of the working principles
of homoeopathy that homoeopathic preparations of whatever kind achieve
their effect according to the Law of Similars of Hahnemann and the Reversal
Effect of Arndt and Schulz. All the individual and combination remedies
used in antihomotoxic therapy are derived from substances or compounds referred
to in the German Pharmacopoeia and of course in the Homoeopathic
Pharmacopoeia, including chemical compounds, plant-tinctures, poisons of animal
origin, etc.
Particularly in view of the many toxic aspects of civilisation, such as insecticides,
pesticides, and especially also in view of the increasing incidence of iatrogenic
damage by chemical drugs and other non-biological treatments, a number of
environmental toxic factors and toxic drugs in homoeopathic potency are also in
therapeutic use. Thus it may still be possible to compensate for some of the damage
which has been caused, by employing stimulative methods according to the Reversal
Effect and the Law of Similars.
Here, descriptions will be found of sarcodes (remedies from healthy organs and
tissues), intermediary catalysts (intermediate products playing a part in intermediary
metabolism), other factors in enzyme-activity such as vitamins (particularly in
combination remedies), and especially the so-called nosodes (i.e. morbid material
in homoeopathic potency), both morbid bodily exudates and also bacterial cultures,
isopathic excreta such as perspiration, discharges, pus, etc., and also, for example,
viral excreta or cultures (such as Coxsackie Virus A9 and B4). The result of this is a
substantially more comprehensive compendium of the remedies needed for the
treatment of patients in a homoeopathic, antihomotoxic way: remedies which have
since come into wide use in general therapeutic practice.
All substances which have an action on the body can be homoeopathically
potentized and used in a wide variety of medicaments to achieve antitoxic effects in
counterpoint.
In consequence of this, pratically every substance and every material in everyday
life, including foodstuffs, common medicines, bodily secretions etc. – in other
words, everything around us – can be used in an antihomotoxic way, i.e. in the form
of homoeopathic single remedies. These also include homoeopathic attenuations of
synthetic drugs, substances such as nitrosodiphenylamine, which do not otherwise
occur in nature, environmental toxins and factors which are isolated from them, as
well as quinones etc.
People often enquire why the sarcodes are obtained from organs and tissues of
the pig. The reason for this is the similarity between these and human tissues.
Because of this, the organs and tissues of the pig act like organ-specific nosodes,
the toxic effects of pork coming into their own as a result of homoeopathic
potentization, both according to the Reversal Effect and as homoeopathic Similars.
Thus they are ideal remedies to use in stimulative treatment where damage has
occurred to the organs and tissues in question: (mostly impregnation and
degeneration phases, but they may also be used experimentally in neoplasm
phases).
Experiments carried out over a period of years have shown that the action of
homoeopathic remedies, whether single or in combinations, is in no way impaired
by adaption to the familiar dispensing methods of Galen. This applies not only in
the case of ampoules, but also in the case of suppositories, ointments, eye-drops,
nose-drops and ear-drops.
The recent investigations by Veith, Snell and others of the molecular combinations
which take place in aqueous solutions and in colloids have shown – along with
earlier investigations by Junker, Kolisko, Nebel, Cahis and others –
that several stages of attenuation (potencies) of one and the same original
substance may be combined within one remedy yet still retain their own individual
action.
As has been shown in experiments carried out on plant-shoots, certain
interferences are possible in this process. Whenever there are various stages of
attenuation, culminating points result. When several potencies of the same substance
are combined, these culminating points interfere with the intervals between one
potency and another.
One important outcome was the establishment of action – explainable in
molecular terms – of potencies above Avogadro’s number (6.021023).
The action of homoeopathic attenuations, triturations, powders etc. is not
impaired by their incorporation into ointments and suppository-bases, not even, for
example, by preservatives added to the ointments, but is maintained indepently.
This means that homoeopathically potentized antihomotoxics have had widespread
external use. In these cases the choice of a suitable base for the ointment
is of importance. It must have an affinity for the skin, must penetrate it easily yet be
free of side-effects.
IX
So as not to present the antihomotoxic therapist with too confusing an array of
the extremely many-sided treatment methods involved in the use of individual
remedies, in this book we thought it important to offer a selective materia medica.
Of course, any other homoeopathic remedies which are recommended in other
materia medicas and which fit the symptomatology of the case may be used when
working along antihomotoxic lines. This is because the symptomatology
corresponds to a particular “toxic state”, which must be broken down by the
homoeopathic or antihomotoxic remedy by stimulating either the mechanisms
which create antidotes, the organs of the “Defensive System”, or the intracellular
detoxification mechanisms.
Much proof indicates that these mechanisms are brought into play by the
introduction of specific enzymes which have detoxifying action. In this process,
both the Law of Similars (along the lines of the Law of Matrices, which is generally
valid in biology: mirror-image effect) and the Reversal Effect are valid. The
Reversal Effect follows the basic biological law of Arndt and Schulz governing the
opposing action of large and small doses: small doses have a stimulative effect,
medium doses act indifferently, large doses inhibit, disable or kill. These
pharmacological points of view are likewise scientifically confirmed and established
by homotoxicology.
Of course it would be pointless to attempt to treat a case of arsenic poisoning
with higher attenuations of the same poison, i.e. Arsenicum 6, or some similar
potency. The receptors of the relevant enzyme-systems are blocked or engaged by
the action of massive toxic doses, so that smaller doses can no longer get through.
However, it is possible to administer another homoeopathic preparation, and so
activate other similar defence-mechanisms (which are still held in reserve) by
creating a similar remedy-picture. According to Hahnemann’s theory, this would
be a “second healing-illness”: according to homotoxicological theory, which
sees illness as equal to the repelling of toxins, a second, reserve defence-mechanism
is being brought into action. From this it may be seen that arsenic poisoning
may very well be susceptible to treatment with homoeopathic preparations of
substances which have a similar effect, e.g. with potentized aluminium tartrate, and
vice-versa.
In view of the operation of the Law of Matrices (Law of Similars) it is
understandable how even homoeopathic remedies which do not provide a 100%
identical match with the remedy-picture or disease-picture at hand may nevertheless
prove highly effective. In that case, usually, further remedies will be needed to
clear up the case, until the point at which the simillimum (i.e the remedy providing
the closest match with the picture of the patient’s illness) brings about the final
healing.
It also follows that, where a mixture of states of illness is present, in which the
effects not only of the patient’s own intermediary toxins are evident, but also sideeffects
of allopathic drugs (so-called “iatrogenic pathology”) and possibly the
burdens of environmental toxins as well (insecticides and others), then a mixture of
antidotal therapies must be applied.
X
This provides the basis for the development of combination remedies, which are
also more suited to the treatment of a syndrome than to the symptomatology of a
single homoeopathic remedy, although the aim of the therapist should always be to
find the simillimum which gives an exact match with the picture of the patient’s
illness.
However, in a large number of cases this is not in fact possible. Thus, in such
cases, the use of a combination- or compound-remedy is required, especially in
degenerative phases to the right of the Biological Division. This sets the
whole toxic state once more into motion, which is indicated by recurrence of
inflammation and other symptoms along the lines of a regressive vicariation.
There may be a recurrence of earlier illness which had apparently been cured,
such as fistulae, eczema, abscesses, etc. These now form channels of elimination
for the homotoxins which have been set in mobilized.
Thus it should be self-evident that such changes in a state of illness must be
correctly assessed in the light of homotoxicology. This means that these detoxifying
processes – and an inflammation must be understood as such (in other words,
nature’s self-healing tendency) – must not be curbed with antibiotics, chemical
drugs or other suppressive measures such as suppression of fevers or discharges,
use of anti-perspirants etc., at the first signs of a slight cold or sore thorat; only
when there are indications of vital significance are such measures justified.
Homoeopathic remedies, properly applied, are capable of rehabilitating blocked
enzyme-systems and thus re-stimulating the process of detoxification. This is
expressed by the restoration of detoxifying mechanisms (e.g. inflammations), which
should therefore only be welcomed by any therapist working along antihomotoxic
and biological lines.
If antihomotoxic biotherapists wish to steer a course of “accelerated natural
healing” (for this is the only way of understanding the action of homoeopathic
remedies), aware of the biological context and fully in control with antihomotoxic
methodology, then they must not only be fully conversant with the combination
remedies – thus easing substantially the work-load of the practice – but will also
find the single remedies of inestimable value.
It may be helpful to think of the toxins as first being surrounded by an army (of
one or more combination remedies etc.). Other units (complex remedies etc.) may
be brought in to give support in the detoxification-battle for the cure of the disease.
Finally the last remaining basic homotoxin – the commander of the enemy troops,
as it were – is finished off by the “pistol shot” of the simillimum.
The physician working along antihomotoxic lines has need not only
of combination- and complex-remedies in every medical form (drops,
triturations, powders, ampoules, ointments, suppositories, etc.), but also of single
remedies in both low and high potencies, in order to achieve the best therapeutic
results.
A knowledge of single-remedy methodology can be combined with general
biotherapy, not to mention other additional procedures such as Niehan’s therapy,
hydrotherapy, Felke mud-baths, ozone therapy, acupuncture, climatic treatments,
XI
massage etc. All this affords both a freedom of action conducive to true healing,
and a profound degree of professional satisfaction.

A Summary of the Basic Theory of Homotoxicology
Anyone who has come to grips with the subject of homoeopathy knows that its basic
law: “Similia similibus curantur” (like is cured by like) was born of Hahnemann’s
own experience. A large number of experiments has proved that it is possible to
influence symptoms and diseases with homoeopathic potencies of a medicinal
substance in a holistic way, i.e. on the physical functional, emotional and mental
levels of manifestation. Homoeopathy represents action through stimulation.
Through the smallest of impulses, the body is stimulated to react (the Law of the
Minimum Dose). Many of today’s diseases are distinguished by a plethora of
aspects and symptoms, as, for example, the multi-morbidity which accompanies
modern civilisation.
How then does the physician find the effective, stimulative homoeopathic remedy,
the simillimum, as it is called?
For this, the physician needs decades of experience. In this difficult search for a
particular simillimum, a great advantage can be gained by the use of complex
remedies, i.e. medicaments consisting of several homoeopathic components. These
mixtures cover a broad spectrum of possible precipitating causes and functional
disorders and also take into account both constitutional factors and environmental
influences.
It is to the German physician, Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, that classical
homoeopathy owes the acquisition of a well-founded scientific background.
Presented below is an outline of the theory of homotoxicology which he developed,
and its consequences for the therapeutic practice.
The word “homotoxin” means “poison to humans”. Thus homotoxins are
substances which are poisonous to mankind, including metabolic products which
are not broken down and eliminated quickly enough. Homotoxicology proceeds
from the fundamental fact that all vital processes depend upon the conversion of
chemically identifiable agents. In the case of a disease, these chemical substances
are the pathogenic toxins. Such toxins, which are active within the diseased tissue,
may be detected in the secretions such as sweat and pus. Within the body they are
responsible for those processes to which we give the name of “illness”.
The Concept of Illness in Homotoxicology
For thousands of years, those concerned with healing have been seeking the causes
of and explanations for diseases. Whereas originally it was thought to be the gods,
or spirits which had attacked or possessed the sick person, as early as Babylonian,
Egyptian and Greek times it had been found that damage to, or a faulty combination
of, bodily “humours” might be responsible. From the 18th Century onwards, the
theory of toxic damage has diminished in significance. In the 19th Century Rudolf
Virchow developed his theory of cytology, and with it a theory of disease based on
XIII
the assumption that the body is a “country peopled by cells”, with the individual cells
being mutually dependent upon and cooperating with each other. Thus it is in
disorders or pathological changes in the individual cells that we must look for the
cause of every disease.
As a result of this cellular pathology, scientific medicine had an extraordinarily
fruitful period spanning the second half of last century and into the present century.
However, areas of weakness occurred, making it necessary to supplement existing
theories or seek out other explanatory models for disease in medical science.
Reckeweg’s theory of homotoxicology represents a further development in
individual etiological research, with the aim of utilising an integral combination of
the various areas which have proved important in the diagnosis of disease.
Thus, according to Reckeweg, illnesses are agent-determined reactive processes in
which homotoxins can bring about an inflammation, for example. In the course of the
inflammatory process, these toxins are then rendered harmless and eliminated by the
body, which is capable of reacting to them.
The theory of homotoxicology proceeds from a completely new, dynamic concept
of disease. Illnesses are processes, images of the physical state, and symptoms which
show that the body is fighting with toxins, with the intention of rendering them
harmless and eliminating them. The logical consequence of this new view of the
disease-concept has to be a corresponding alteration in treatment-methods. Even such
modern concepts as the change of flow-equilibrium and cybernetic control processes
have found their way into Reckeweg’s theory of homotoxicology.
It is Reckeweg’s contention that therapeutic measures should introduce the absolute
minimum of noxious side-effects into the body, already damaged as it is. This
notwithstanding, they should achieve the optimum in healing or alleviation of
complaints. This may mean that, depending on the state of the illness, corrective
surgery may be called for or, after careful consideration of the patient’s holistic
situation, even chemotherapy or other measures such as radiotherapy may be
employed. To inhibit and suppress an illness, for example an inflammation, would
thus be to prevent the body from eliminating the homotoxins and poisons in a
physiological way. In treating patients with his antihomotoxic therapy, Reckeweg
employed single homoeopathic remedies for an extremely wide variety of complaints,
or else suitable combination remedies, which he called Homoeopathica Antihomotoxica.
Substances of all kinds are used, according to homoeopathic principles.
These substances include preparations from plants, organs and tissues, morbid
material (nosodes), trace elements, intermediary agents, potentized allopathic drugs,
as well as attenuations of toxins and of chemical compounds of all kinds.
The Homotoxic Phases of Disease
According to Reckeweg, in the body’s defensive fight against homotoxins we can
differentiate among six separate antitoxic defence-phases of disease. In the case of
the first three, i.e. the excretion phase, the reaction phase and the deposition phase,
XIV
the body’s defensive energy has dealt with the detoxified toxins by elimination or
deposition. These are designated “humoral phases”. There is no damage to either
organs or cells.
The first three phases of disease are separated from the next three, the cellular
phases, by what is known as the “Biological Division”. These three phases are called
the impregnation phase, the degeneration phase and the neoplasm phase. They
represent cellular impregnation, degeneration and neoplastic change or proliferation
(carcinogenic processes). From the fourth to the sixth phase, the body succumbs
increasingly to the deleterious action of the homotoxins. The body endeavours to
preserve the best possible level of life for as long as possible, although it can no longer
prevent cell-damage, organic disorders and finally unbridled growth of the organism.
During the first three phases – the humoral phases – the principle of excretion holds
good, the enzymes remain intact, and the body’s tendency to heal itself is maintained.
In the last three phases, however, the prognosis is unfavourable. Here the enzymes
are damaged and the body’s flow equilibrium is upset. The tendency is towards
deterioration, and the prospects of recovery are doubtful.
The Body’s Own Greater Defensive System
So how does the body defend itself against the influence of the homotoxins?
Reckeweg’s view of the body’s counter-reaction is that of a Greater Defensive
System. This system consists of five subsidiary systems which are mutually
interlinked and render homotoxins harmless in the course of their defensive fight.
These subsidiary systems include, for example: antibody formation; defence through
the use of neuronal adaptation hormones; antitoxic defence by way of the nervous
system; detoxification via the liver; detoxification via the connective tissue, which
represents an extensive storage and drainage system taking up the waste material
which comes from the cells and transporting it away via the lymphatic system, or else
storing it.
If this system is affected, for example by the chemotherapeutic drugs, sulphonamides,
antibiotics, immuno-suppressives, salicylates etc. which are in common
medical use nowadays, the intervention in the normal course of biological defence
may in part be extremely effective, but it will also be attended by tremendous danger.
However, if the Greater Defensive System can be influenced in a harmonic way,
then the progress of disease can be reversed bringing about a change of phase in the
direction of recovery. Thus, to give an example of what may occur, a duodenal ulcer
may regress into a carbuncle and, after this has healed, the pathology in the duodenal
area will also have disappeared. This process in a positive direction was termed
regressive vicariation by Reckeweg. The continued progression of a disease so that
the patient’s condition deteriorates Reckeweg called progressive vicariation.
XV
Homotoxicological Therapy
In homotoxicological treatment, it is therefore of great importance to administer
homoeopathic remedies in the appropriate homoeopathic attenuations, since
otherwise they would reinforce the body’s toxic state or exert a negative influence
upon it.
Building upon the foundation of Samuel Hahnemann’s homoeopathy, Reckeweg
has made a compilation of homoeopathic single and combination remedies for the
treatment of the various diseases from a homotoxicological point of view. An
extremely wide variety of therapeutic agents is employed. Homotoxicological
therapy has as its objective the stimulation and regulation of the body’s self-healing
powers. As an essential part of holistic medicine, this also includes a biologically
correct life-style, the avoidance of iatrogenic damage, which can be caused by the
use of excessively strong chemical drugs – among other things – and, finally, a
further aim of this mode of treatment is the achievement of self-help and motivation
by the patient. However, where extreme cases require them, it does not exclude the
employment of other therapeutic measures, of which familiar examples are
antibiotics and corrective surgery.

A Few Hints Regarding the use of Single Homoeopathic Remedies
The single homoeopathic remedies in common use are usually available in the form
of attenuations, triturations, powders and ampoules and there is normally no
difficulty in procuring them within the geographical area in which a physician
working along antihomotoxic, biological lines is prescribing. However, when
prescribing unusual single remedies there are sometimes difficulties which must be
resolved by the local pharmacist.
In general, the following rules apply:
The more violent the symptoms, the more frequent the dose.
When improvement sets in, reduce the frequency of the dose.
In case of aggravation (this is often a “healing reaction”), temporarily reduce or
completely discontinue the dosage for a period of hours or possibly days.
It is also possible to give several single remedies in succession. This is necessary
in cases in which recognition of the symptom picture of an indicated remedy is
insufficiently clear. One then uses two (or possibly even three or four) remedies in
succession, (or administers them simultaneously). Thus a particular area of
symptoms is eradicated. As Leimbach puts it, “the homotoxins are gradually
excavated”, rather in the same way that a buried monument is gradually exposed
during an archaeological dig.
If one then checks the symptom picture, in many cases it will be found that a clear
remedy picture has emerged. This new situation then requires a new simillimum to
match the new symptom picture in question.
Where a completely different symptom picture emerges, corresponding to a
different “toxic state”, then possibly a completely different single remedy is called
for, or in the case of a new syndrome, a matching combination or compound remedy.
From his position as the practitioner, it often appears to the physician as if “the
illness” (i.e. the toxin which is at the root of the defence-reaction) were being chased
around the body by the stimulative action of the remedy “like a hobgoblin”, until at
last it finds the appropriate exit, the correct elimination-route for the particular toxin
from which the whole disease process originated. This may be a suddenly-recurring
eczema, a fistula, an abscess, an apparent cold, usually a reaction phase associated
with secretions, and with its appearance, all the complaints usually finally disappear.
Without a knowledge of homotoxicology, particularly of the shifts which occur
from one homotoxic phase to another through the vicariation effect, such functions
remain shrouded in biological darkness. Otherwise – and this may be attended by
devastating consequences for the patient – they may be interpreted incorrectly, in
which case medicated creams, for example, may be applied, these days it is usually
cortisone, thus inactivating them by blocking the connective tissue, and so the
detoxification is halted.
In the early years of my practice in Berlin, a 60-year-old businessman came to me
for treatment. He had spent a fortune on medical treatment for his chronic
rheumatism with stiffness and swelling at the bones, and in spite of all the
hydrotherapy treatments he had undergone at spas he was sinking deeper and deeper
XVII
into a state of chronic disease. His big toes were swollen and deformed and his
cervical vertebrae were almost immobilised due to exostoses. Following the
prescription of Mercurius praec. rub 4 to 6, Hekla Lava 8, Kali Iod. 4,
Asafoetida 8 and other remedies, a severely itching eczema erupted on his back.
This was treated with Sulphur 30, Lycopodium 30, Hepar Sulph., Arsenicum
and other remedies. In the space of a few months, this patient, severely immobilised,
in great pain and in declining health, was fully cured. The result was that I was
almost inundated with patients flooding into my consulting room on the
recommendation of this man who had been “sick unto death”. So we may draw this
chapter to a close with the words of the great homoeopathic physician Dr. Gisevius:
“Excellent therapeutic results provide the best advocacy for homoeopathy.”

Part II:
A Selective Pharmacology
Abies Nigra – Black Spruce
The mother tincture is prepared from the gum of the tree, which is a native of
North America: Picea mariana [Miller]. N.O. Pinaceae.
Its main action is on the digestive and respiratory organs. Main symptoms are as
follows:
Depression, inability to think. Pressure as of a hard object behind the sternum.
May also be used where the following occur: Lack of appetite in the morning but
ravenous at noon and at night. Violent stomach pains after a hearty meal. Contractive
pain in the pit of the stomach with retching, sour eructation, vomiting. Constipation,
especially after abuse of tobacco, tea and coffee. Sensation as of a hard object
lodged at cardiac end of stomach.
Becomes easily short of breath.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Resina piceae, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
abies nigra: gastric digestive insufficiency.
Abrotanum – Southernwood
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh young shoots and leaves. The plant
is native to Southern Europe and Asia Minor, and is cultivated in Germany:
Artemisia abrotanum. N.O. Compositae.
The tincture of this plant, also known as Lady’s Love, contains volatile oil, bitter
principles and abrotanin.
Abrotanum acts on the autonomic sphere, especially the endoderm, when – in
spite of a good appetite – emaciation occurs, particularly in children. This emaciation
proceeds upward from below, starting with the legs. Growth may be stunted,
with weakness of the muscles and joints, an appearance as of old age, and possibly
haemorrhoids, blood being passed with the stools.
There is a typical vicariation between rheumatic pains and diarrhoea. If the diarrhoea
is suppressed, rheumatic pains recur. There are also gouty tophi in the hands
and feet, as well as pains and weakness in the neck and back, e.g. in Scheuermann’s
disease. Abrotanum can also be of service in chronic (tuberculous) peritonitis,
pleurisy with effusion, and other exudative processes.
These also include the after-effects of chest surgery for hydrothorax or empyema.
In boys, hydrocoele is said to be an indication.
The face is characteristically wrinkled and pale, with dry skin, and the eyes are
dull with blue rings around them, the so-called “halo” of the eyes, such as one finds
after retoxic treatment of acute illnesses such as influenza. Greasy facial skin with
115
comedones and possibly facial naevi can be helped. In boys there is often epistaxis.
Stomach pains are worse at night, with a sensation as if the stomach were floating
in water. Diarrhoea alternates with constipation and there may be steatorrhoea. Vomiting
occurs, with large quantities of offensive fluid and flatulent distension of the
abdomen.
Difficult respiration and a dry, persistent cough with a raw sensation and sensitivity
to cold air, which causes a rough feeling in the air-passages, are characteristic of
this remedy, as are pains in the ribs after pleurisy.
The patient is so weak he can scarcely hold up his head. Abrotanum is generally
suitable in marasmus and in retoxic phases after the suppression of symptoms, in
gout and rheumatism, in pleurisy with effusion, osteochondrosis and emaciation,
especially when the acute symptoms have subsided. (Follows Bryonia, Benzoicum,
Acidum and Aconitum.)
Summing up the symptoms, the following characteristic picture of the remedy
emerges:
- Emaciation proceeding upward from below. Marasmus in spite of eating well.
Blue rings around the eyes. General problems arising in retoxic phases. - Pains in the stomach. Ravenous hunger at night. Steatorrhoea. Diarrhoea alternating
with constipation. - Pleurisy with or without effusion. Scrofula. Tuberculosis of the mesenteric or
hilar glands. Persistent cough at night. Feeling of roughness in the air-passages
from cold air. - Rheumatic polyarthritis. Osteochondrosis. Gouty tophi in hands and feet.
Rheumatism vicariating with diarrhoea. - Greasy skin, purple discoloration (after suppressed skin eruptions). Itching
chilblains. Comedones. - Hydrocoele in boys.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Artemesia abrotanum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for abrotanum: excessive loss of weight and abnormal growth or development
among children, also as a result of chronic inflammation; skin disorders; gout.
Absinthium – Common Wormwood
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh young leaves and flowers of the
plant Artemisia absinthium. N.O. Compositae.
Gastric catarrh. Heartburn. Distension. Worms. Nervous irritability. Delirium.
Restlessness (constantly walking about for no reason). Also recommended in
cholera.
116
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Artemisia absinthium, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for absinthium: condition of excessive excitement and spasmodic contraction
(cramps); inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
Aceticum Acidum – Acetic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from glacial acetic acid, CH3COOH, MW: 60.1.
The principal symptoms are as follows:
Oedematous swellings. Waxy appearance. Diabetes. Anaemia. Thirst.
Also typical of this remedy are rapid emaciation with fainting, despondency, irritability,
attacks of anxiety and respiratory problems. These may be accompanied by
great debility or rushes of blood to the head with nervous headaches, great weakness,
confusion of thoughts and a kind of stupor.
There may be aversion to salty and cold meals; also stomach pains, heartburn,
sour eructation and abdominal distension with diarrhoea and swelling of the legs.
Steatorrhoea and intestinal bleeding.
Typical symptoms are large quantities of light-coloured or cloudy urine with sediment
of phosphates, escape of seminal fluid during bowel movement, and copious
menstruation.
Aceticum Acidum is helpful in diabetes mellitus and can also be employed in cancer
of the stomach, as well as in chronic gastric catarrh, especially in children and
the elderly.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum aceticum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
acidum aceticum: diarrhoeic disorders; anaemia; feverish conditions; general
weakness and debilitation.
Acetylcholine Chloride
The attenuations are prepared from acetylcholine chloride, 2-Acetoxyethyltrimethylammonium
chloride, CH3CO2(CH2)2N(CH3)3Cl, MW: 181.7 (Potentized allopathic
compound).
Vagotonia. Duodenal ulcer. Bronchial asthma. Angina pectoris. Generally in impregnation
phases.
117
Acetylosalicylicum Acidum – Acetylsalicylic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from acetylsalicylic acid, 2-Acetoxybenzoic acid,
CH3COOC6H4COOH, MW: 180.2 (Potentized allopathic compound).
Retoxic ill-effects of treatment for acute and chronic rheumatic polyarthritis, and of
primary chronic polyarthritis. General damage to connective tissue. Acute glomerulonephritis
and nephroses. Myocarditis, heart defects. Disturbed sleep (from damage
to the mid-brain).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum acetylosalicylicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for acetylsalicylic acid: gastrointestinal disorders; haemorrhages; tinnitus.
cis-Aconiticum Acidum – Aconitic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from cis-aconitic acid, COOHCHC(COOH)CH2-
COOH, MW: 174.2.
As with all catalysts of the citric acid cycle, aconitic acid too shows an affinity for
internal respiration. Asthmatic attacks “out of the blue”, with no warning, are typical.
The patient is easily chilled and sensitive to the wind and to changes of temperature,
linked with facial neuralgia, toothache, lesions of the scalp such as eczema
and urticaria, with frequent changes of mood, irritability and violent temper-outbursts.
In asthma and eczema, also in hay fever, it works well in combination with Natrum
Pyruvicum. In emaciation of the young it may be combined with Pituitary and
Thyroid gland sarcodes. It is also effective when combined with Succinicum
Acidum and Natrum Oxalaceticum.
Pains in the bones at night, also in the spine between T3 and T4, also in C7 and in
the sacrum (and in Scheuermann’s disease). Old fractures are painful, even after
many years.
It is also indicated in disturbances of the Citric Acid cycle, impregnation phases,
also in asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis, precancerous
states, and in neoplasm phases (especially in the early stages) to improve cell-respiration.
The drug picture of cis-Aconiticum Acidum was composed in September 1996 by
David Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.

Aconitum – Monk’s Hood,Wolfsbane
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant and root, gathered
when beginning to flower. Aconitum napellus L. N.O. Ranunculaceae.
The active ingredients of the mother tincture are aconitic acid and aconitin, one of
the most toxic of vegetable substances. Milligrams of it are capable of killing a
horse.
Aconite is one of the most important homoeopathic fever-remedies, especially
when the patient displays hot skin, great anxiety, rapid, tense pulse, strong and possibly
irregular heartbeat, alternating fever and chills, possible hyperthermia (temperatures
up to 41 °C) and with aggravation of all fever-symptoms in the evening. There
are surges of blood towards various organs, with a tendency for the capillaries to
rupture with consequent petechial haemorrhages in the nasal and respiratory mucosa.
There may be cramping, gouging, burrowing pains in the praecordium, with
stitching pains in the chest, coryza, catarrh of the mucosa, tickling in the larynx
causing coughing which in turn leads to soreness of the larynx. The heart complaints
120
of Aconite may also occur without fever symptoms, as for example in angina pectoris
or in acute myocardial infarction.
Apart from great motor restlessness and fear, the remedy also has a characteristic
sensation of internal freezing, as if ice were running through the arteries, and paraesthesia,
which may occur in neuralgia (e.g. in sciatica, after sitting on a cold surface),
as well as other neuralgic pains.
Formerly in general medicine, Aconite was frequently used in the form of ointment.
However, this practice was abandoned because of the difficulties of control
over the dosage, the preparation being highly toxic with the possibility of acute poisoning.
Through the whole picture of Aconite there run the sudden onset of symptoms and
the violence of the complaints, which often arise as feverish chills from exposure to
cold east winds. The restlessness and anguish are always to be seen, as are also the
redness of the mucosa, the sensation of distension, heaviness, pressure and tension
in the gastro-intestinal tract. Stools contain mucus and bile. There is flatulent distension
with small, frequent stools, and an urging to defaecate – all characteristic of the
remedy. So is congestion of the kidneys with blood, with scanty and painful urination
and haematuria, or dark-coloured urine due to precipitation of salts.
Aconite symptoms may not necessarily occur as a consequence of chill; they may
also arise from shock, localising at the point of least resistance.
Low potencies are normally given in pyrexia and organic complaints, catarrhs,
neuralgic symptoms with paraesthesia etc., hyperthermia, encephalitis with very
high temperatures (e.g. post-vaccinial encephalitis or meningo-encephalitis which
may be activated by the implantation of living cells, e.g. in a child with a history of
chronic middle-ear infections); however, in angina pectoris higher potencies (i.e.
above 6) should always be given.
Nash sees in Aconite not only an outstanding fever-remedy, but also a great painremedy
in neuralgias with sensations of numbness, crawling or formication, and
also in fear of death. (Aconite and Arsenicum album are the two most important
remidies for anxiety.)
If we sum up the most important symptoms of Aconitum, we have the following
remedy-picture: - Fever with dry, hot skin, coughing and stabbing pains in the chest. Internal freezing
in influenza and chills. Hyperthermia. - Consequences of chill from exposure to dry, cold winds; (cystitis, acute gastroenteritis,
etc.). - Paraesthesia, neuralgia with formication.
- Restlessness, fear/anguish, consequences of fright. Angina pectoris and myocardial
infarction. Violent, acute complaints.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aconitum napellus, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for aconitum: hyperacute inflammatory disorders; painful nervous disorders;

There are headaches with a heavy sensation, as if numbed, especially above the
eyes, with vertigo and especially with occipital pain, also accompanied by flickering
of vision.
There is a typical constant pain in the sacrum and the hips, particularly pronounced
on bending down and on rising from sitting. Ameliorated after walking.

Aethiops Antimonialis – Hydrargyrum Stibiato-Sulphuratum
Aethiops Mineralis – Hydrargyrum Sulphuratum Nigrum
Equal quantities of Antimonium crudum and Aethiops mineralis are triturated to
produce “Aethiops antimonialis”, and a mixture of mercury sulphide and sulphur
are triturated to produce “Aethiops mineralis”. The attenuations are produced from
these preparations.
Scrofulous inflammations, skin eruptions and discharges. Scrofulous conjunctivitis
with marked photophobia and keratitis. Offensive discharge from the ears. Cradle-
cap on the face. Mucous colitis. Oozing anal eczema.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hydrargyrum sulfuratum nigrum,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for aethiops mineralis: crusty inflammation of skin and the eyelids.
Aethusa – Fool’s Parsley
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh flowering plant including the
unripe fruits, Aethusa cynapium L., found in Europe and Siberia. N.O. Umbelliferae.
The tincture of Fool’s Parsley produces considerable toxic effects, which are noticeable
particularly in disturbances of the nervous system, with various kinds of
spasms, dulling of faculties, or loss of consciousness; also in reflex vomiting and in
gastro-intestinal symptoms without the presence of any noteworthy inflammatory
symptoms; however great exhaustion ensues with a sensation of coldness and a tendency
to develop vertigo and loss of consciousness.
Complaints are ameliorated in the open air and aggravated in an enclosed space.
Oppressed mood with anxiety, restlessness and irritability, possibly also hallucinations,
delirium and sleepiness, maybe to the point of unconsciousness. Epileptiform
125
spasms may also occur, dilated pupils and particularly great weakness of the lower
limbs. There is also a typical feeling of coldness in skin and limbs, linked with hot
flushes and thirstlessness. There may also be catarrhal symptoms, irritations with
tickling in the larynx, and a feeling of heaviness with sighing and yawning.
Particularly typical of Aethusa is the vomiting, obviously originating in the nervous
system. In serious cases it is combined with capillary paralysis, haematemesis, stomach
cramps, tympanitic distension and sensitivity to being touched. Irresistible urge to
pass stool, when a thin pale yellow and greenish fluid, mixed with much bile, is
passed, and bruises may form on the skin of the abdomen. The nervous vomiting is
characterised by spasmodic contractions of the oesophageal muscles and violent
pains which shoot upwards from the cardiac sphincter.
Nash considers Aethusa to be one of the best remedies for vomiting in children,
“of very sour curds, so large that it would seem almost impossible that the child
could have ejected them”. Nash further mentions the Hippocratic face, which is typically
assumed in progressive illness, with its sharply defined linea nasialis (transparently
pale upper lip bounded by the naso-labial folds), and with rapidly increasing
exhaustion and anxiety. Patients often imagine that they see rats or mice running
across the room. Nash considers this symptom a typical indication for Aethusa in
worn-down, nervous women.
Summing up the symptoms, we have the following remedy-picture: - Acute gastric catarrh (of infants) with retching, vomiting and oesophageal
spasms, possibly cholera infantum with consequent prostration. - Gastroenteritis with feeling of coldness and weakness.
- Spasms with dulling of consciousness. Weakness of the lower extremities, vertigo
and unconsciousness. - Bruises on the abdominal skin. Hippocratic facial expression (nasolabial crease
sharply defined).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aethusa cynapium, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for aethusa: acute diarrhoea with vomiting; intolerance of milk; concentration
weakness, especially among children.
Agaricinum – Agaricic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from Agaricic Acid, C22H40O7, MW: 416.6. This
substance is isolated from the Larch sponge (Fomes officinalis). N.O. Polyporaceae.
Sydenham’s chorea. Epileptiform attacks. Paraesthesia.
126
Agaricus – Fly Agaric
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh fungus, Amanita muscaria CL
Hook., which occurs in woodlands throughout the northern hemisphere. N.O. Fungi
– Amanitaceae.
Sensitivity to cold air. Motor restlessness. Sensation of a lump in the upper abdomen.
Sydenham’s chorea, tics. States of agitation, epileptiform attacks, itching,
crawling sensations, burning pains, sensations of numbness, as if frozen. Chilblains.
Coppery discoloration of the nose in heavy drinkers.
The predominant characteristic is a hyperaesthesia of the whole body, the slightest
pressure causing pain. General painfulness of all the limbs, especially the lower extremities,
marked on sitting or standing, gradually subsiding on walking. This is accompanied
by a feeling of coldness with paraesthesia (numbness and crawling sensation)
and a sensitivity to cold air. The pains in the limbs may occur diagonally
(right arm and left leg, etc.), and the general restlessness of the muscles with a compulsion
to move in unusual ways (cf. Stramonium), may change to tetany and stupor.
Ecstatic states as in drunkenness, singing, shouting, declaiming, general intensification
of mental excitement to the point of rage and destructive fury, may reach the
point of Korsakov’s psychosis (cf. Veratrum Album).
On the other hand, there may be dejection, irritability, faint-heartedness with reluctance
for any form of activity or work, a lack of initiative and a mood of despair.
On the skin there is evidence of peripheral circulatory disturbance, such as
chilblains, cold hands and feet, and cyanosis.
Eye symptoms include photophobia, diplopia, and muscae volitantes (floaters).
The circulatory system also shows signs of central under-function, with weak contractions
of the heart, and later on with heart-beats which are irregular or missing.
Liver symptoms include distension of the abdomen and discharge of large
amounts of flatus which smells of garlic.
The oral cavity and stomach are affected by the same whitish, yellowish coating as
is on the tongue; there are oesophageal cramps, stomach pains and nausea.
Agaricus is used less in acute, violent fevers, but more in low fevers with a tendency
to collapse, gangrene and spasmodic states, the lower limbs in particular
showing great weakness.
In Kamchatka, a decoction of fly agaric is drunk in order to induce a state of ecstatic
intoxication.
Agaricus should therefore be tried in cases of ecstatic nervous excitement, and in
epileptiform attacks, especially too in excitement of the sexual drive with lack of
ability and great exhaustion following coitus.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Amanita muscaria, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for agaricus: condition of excessive excitement, also with reduction of excitability
of the nervous system; sequelae of drug and medication abuse; state of
127
confusion; cerebral seizure disorders; disorders in voiding the bladder and intestinal
tract.
Agnus Castus – Chaste Tree
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried, ripe fruits of common Vitex agnuscastus
L., which grows in the Mediterranean countries. N.O. Verbenaceae.
Diminution of sexual energy in males. Leucorrhoea without discomfort. Mental
depression. Thoughts of death. Hypochondria. Increases the flow of milk in nursing
mothers. Coldness of genitalia (penis and labia).
The main symptoms of Agnus Castus always point to a depressive mood, frequently
influenced by sexual hormones, resulting in either a flaccidity of the genitalia
with reduced libido, or an unusually and pathologically increased libido with
persistent erections, emissions of prostatic fluid and drawing pains in the spermatic
cords and testicles; in women drawing pains in the lower abdomen.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Vitex agnus-castus, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for agnus castus: sexual disorders among men; dysfunction in normal milk
flow; nervous emotional discord or upset.

Allium Cepa); also in asthma with a rough, hoarse voice, scratching in the larynx
and a dry cough (paroxysmal in smokers).
Coughing, occurring after meals, seems to come from the stomach. Coughing in
the morning is characterised by copious expectoration of a viscid, tenacious mucus,
of putrid odour (bronchiectasis).
There may also be digestive complaints, colic from distension, glossitis or gingivitis,
with a sensation as of a hair on the tongue.
Haemorrhoids and anal prolapse.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Allium sativum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for

Heaviness and sensation of pressure in the head with vertigo. Dryness of the nose
and oral mucosa. Halitosis. Itching of the genitalia. Nervous excitement, hearing impairment,
difficulty in concentration. Seminal emissions followed by weakness.
Ambra Grisea is not a remedy for inflammatory conditions. In the foreground of its
picture we find nervous symptoms of a predominantly chronic nature such as nervous
weakness of vision and hearing, vertigo, weakness of memory, deterioration of brainfunction
and generaly powers of decision; senility with general mental prostration.
However, Ambra Grisea is also indicated in nocturnal coughing paroxysms with
dyspnoea, whooping cough, states of heightened sexual excitement with seminal
emissions and neurasthenia, and in women with frequent menstruation and leucorrhoea.

urine and seminal emissions at night; in women there is leucorrhoea, strong itching
of the external genitalia and shivering with attacks of faintness during dysmenorrhoea.
Also prominent is unusual irritability and excitement of the nervous system in
weaker constitutions, especially in acute illness of weakened patients, in diseases of
the mucosa and in rheumatic or gouty pains, and also with menses which are painful
and too early and with leucorrhoea.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ammonium carbonicum, published

with pains in the popliteal fossa (as if the tendons were too short).
Ammonium Chloride (Sal Ammoniac) encourages the secretion of urine, also the
secretions of the mucosa generally, especially in the respiratory and digestive organs,
and also enhances the action of the sweat glands in the skin, whereby, apart
from uric acid, the excretion of urea is also increased.
On the basis of animal experiments and provings, similar symptoms to those of
Ammonium Carbonate are shown to be present, though to a milder degree.
Only the mucosa are more strongly affected with catarrhs, tickling and coughing,
hoarseness, râles and constriction of the chest.
Pappy, bitter taste, nausea and tendency to vomit, burning pains in the stomach.
Abdominal distension on account of copious flatus. Discharge of copious loose
stools with tenesmus and mucus. Bleeding from haemorrhoids.
A dominant symptom is the distaste and revulsion to all food and drink during illness,
which may be of long duration.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ammonium chloratum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for ammonium muriaticum: subacute and chronic inflammations of the
respiratory passages; sciatica; neuralgia.
Ammonium Nitricum – Ammonium Nitrate
The attenuations are prepared from Ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, MW: 80.0.
The principal indications are:
Catarrhs. Discharges sharp and excoriating.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ammonium nitricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for ammonium nitricum: catarrh; pungent and biting secretions.
In earlier times Amyl Nitrate served as a smelling and inhaling remedy (4 to 6
drops on a handkerchief), for chronic facial blushing or sudden surges of blood, also
during the menopause and in sunstroke.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Amylium nitrosum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for amylium nitrosum: headaches; tachycardia.
Anacardium Orientale – Marking Nut
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried ripe fruits of the tree Semecarpus
anacardium L., which is native to the East Indies. N.O. Anacardiaceae.
According to Nash the tincture of the fruits of this tree, Semecarpus anacardium,
used for the homoeopathic attenuations, is a valuable remedy which is generally undervalued.
In many cases of so-called dyspepsia, where otherwise Nux Vomica is
prescribed indiscriminately, Anacardium is better indicated, since it has a typical
stomach-ache, which always occurs with an empty stomach and is ameliorated by
eating, whereas the distinctive stomach-ache of Nux Vomica is ameliorated when the
digestive process is finished. This distinguishing symptom has led to the prescription
of Anacardium in cases of duodenal ulcer and duodenal catarrh, in which of course
such hunger-pain sensations are characteristic.
Like Nux Vomica, Anacardium also has the symptom of frequent unsuccessful
urging to pass stool, but in Anacardium there is the additional sensation of a plug or
lump in the rectum, which cannot be squeezed out. This symptom does not occur in
the picture of Nux Vomica.
A. v. Fellenberg-Ziegler characterises the action of Anacardium as bearing particularly
on the skin and brain, and draws attention to the periodicity of the complaints
which are typical in cases of duodenal ulcer. The sensation of a plug is not restricted
to the rectum, but may occur in a variety of parts of the body, linked with weakness
in the limbs, especially the knees.
Cramps in the calves may also occur while walking or on risig from sitting. There
may also be an anaesthesia of the skin or a great sensitivity to draughts and cold,
linked with a burning itching of the skin, urticarial vesicles and wart-like excrescences.
Also characteristic of Anacardium are retoxic impregnations after suppressed
skin-eruptions, in particular cerebral and emotional symptoms with
hypochondriacal irritability, timidity and fearfulness of misfortune and danger.
Such irritative symptoms of the central nervous system may also occur after exhausting
mental work, with brain-fag and tearing pains in the forehead, temples and
occiput; here again there may be the sensation of a plug in the head, or as of a tight
band placed around the forehead.
In many cases there is also extraordinary weakness of memory, such as may occur
after recovery from serious illnesses, possibly associated with a feeling of pressure
or swimming in the head. This may be accompanied by a fear of company or outright
agoraphobia, linked with hard-heartedness, inhumanity and a tendency to use
134
bad language. Precisely this last symptom may provide a characteristic pointer to
Anacardium. If a patient incessantly swears about everything (including the political
situation etc.) one should cast about for Anacardium symptoms, and not infrequently
such symptoms will be found. In such cases Anacardium is capable of curing the
whole condition.
Nash also draws attention to a further symptom: the patient has a feeling as if he
had two wills, each driving him to do opposing things. Here then we are dealing
with a symptom such as is found in schizophrenia.
If we sum up the most essential symptoms of Anacardium, the following picture
emerges: - Periodicity of complaints and pains, stomach ulcers aggravated in spring.
- Itching, burning and sensation of heat in the skin. Formation of vesicles, pustules
and warts. Urticaria with a yellowish fluid exuded. - Anxious and worried mood. Timidity, sensitivity. Tendency to cursing and swearing.
- Sensation of a plug in various places in the body, e.g. in the head, the lower abdomen,
in the rectum or anus, associated with constipation, (even a soft stool can
only be passed with difficulty). - Typical hunger-pains with empty stomach, ameliorated by eating.
- Marked weakness of memory in old people, linked with nervous breakdown,
weakness in the limbs (especially the knees), and possibly headache (with plug
sensation). Cramps in the calf-muscles when walking.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation-Monograph for Semecarpus anacardium, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for anacardium: skin rashes; gastric digestive insufficiency; gastric and
duodenal ulcers; mental exhaustion; emotional discord or upset; delusions.
Anisum Stellatum – Star Anise
The attenuations are prepared from the dried ripe fruits of the plant Illicium
verum Hook. (also known as Chinese Anise), which is a native of China and Tonkin.
N.O. Magnoliaceae.
Anise (Aniseed) has proved its worth as a carminative and mild spasmolytic, especially
in flatulent distension. According to Nash it is also especially effective in
catarrhal conditions of an asthmatic nature, if the pain goes through the upper part of
the left breast and radiates towards the shoulder. It has a mild expectorant action,
and is reputed also to function well as a galactogogue.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation-Monograph for Illicium verum, published the
135
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
anisum stellatum: bronchitis; flatulence.
Anthrachinon – Anthraquinone
The attenuations are prepared from Anthraquinone, C14H8O2, MW: 208.2.
According to W. F. Koch (U.S.A.), it regenerates blocked cell-respiration by
“burning away” accumulated toxins (amines and others), and is therefore indicated
in all cellular phases (impregnation, degeneration and neoplasm).
As Anthraquinone is the raw material for numerous chemical products designed to
enhance the appearance and shelf-life of food-products, and moreover is the active
ingredient of numerous laxatives, together with Hydroquinone it is one of the mostused
quinones. It acts on the regulation of the respiratory-chain function.
Everything affects the colon with diarrhoea. There is almost no other remedy to
match its effect on hypotension. There is scarcely another remedy in which the irritability
and feeling of misery in intestinal disturbances, from infancy to old age, is so
marked as in Anthraquinone.
In affections of the lungs, pleurisy, pneumonia and respiratory illness arising from
chill there is effusion in most cases.
Kidney ailments also react to Anthraquinone, especially when loose stools, a great
feeling of misery and raging headache are present together.
In cancer of the prostate, continual erections and painful discharges of purulent
matter are an indication for Anthraquinone; also in cancer of the uterus, when there
is watery, brown discharge with great tiredness and possibly ascites. On the skin, especially
in the creases, red pustules appear, itching severely, and repeatedly giving
way to new patches. These get better and worse in conjunction with the sluggishness
of the bowels, and there is a tormenting itching, especially at night in bed, as well as
pruritus vulvae.
The drug picture of Anthrachinon was composed in July 1996 by David Riley,
M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Sb2O5, MW: 323.5 and Arsenic trioxide, As2O3, MW: 197.8.
Bronchiolitis with weakness of the heart. Dyspnoea, cyanosis and capillary congestion.
Pulmonary emphysema. Pulmonary oedema. Bronchial asthma with circulatory
weakness and oedema, myocarditis. Tongue coated chalky-white.
Typical of this remedy is the extreme dyspnoea, and the effusion which occurs in
pleurisy and pericarditis; also the aggravation upon eating and lying down.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Stibium arsenicosum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for antimonium arsenicosum: inflammations of the lower respiratory passages;
bronchial asthma; pulmonary emphysema.
Antimonium Crudum – Antimony Trisulphide
The attenuations are prepared from black sulphide of antimony, a mineral primarily
containing Antimony (III)-sulphide, Sb2S3, MW: 339.7.
Black antimony sulphide, or Antimonium Crudum, exhibits in its picture some
characteristic symptoms, a few of which correspond to diseases which are difficult
to treat. In spite of that, such serious cases can show a rapid and fundamental change
when the right remedy, Antimonium Crudum for example, is applied.
Typical of this remedy are gastric symptoms, such as vomiting with ketosis, and
diarrhoea, alternating with constipation and mucous haemorrhoids, almost always
accompanied by the typical thick, chalky-white coating of the tongue. A further
characteristic is the aggravation of complaints, especially the gastric ones, by the
heat of summer and after cold bathing. There is also toothache after swimming, occurring
especially at night and mostly in the summer. These often react surprisingly
rapidly to a few doses of the remedy.
Antimonium Crudum is often indicated in irritable, sullen children who cannot
bear anyone to look at them or touch them. The nostrils and corners of the mouth are
often chapped and scurfy. It is also indicated for fingernails which are deformed,
split and have horny growths on them. Antimonium Crudum has proved its worth as
a remedy for corns, and also for warts, when other remedies such as Thuja, Nitricum
Acidum and Causticum have failed. It has helped with chronic blepharitis
with redness of the eyelids, and has also done good service in many cases of chronic
arthritis and coxalgia. In Antimonium Crudum we have a great healing remedy,
whose most important symptoms may be categorised as follows: - Chalky-white coating of the tongue.
139 - Vomiting with ketosis. Gastritis and enteritis. Stomach-aches, especially after
cold bathing in the summer. - All complaints aggravated by heat of the sun and cold bathing, (also toothache in
very decayed teeth at night, stomach-aches, rheumatism, coxalgia, etc.).
Toothache aggravated by eating and cold drinks. (Pulpitis purulenta.) - Corners of the mouth chapped and scurfy.
- Fingernails split. Horny skin, calluses and corns on the feet. Warts.
- Sentimental mood or, in children, irritability.
- Children bite their nails.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Stibium sulphuratum nigrum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for antimonium crudum: digestive disorders; skin disorders; rheumatism.
Antimonium Sulphuratum Aurantiacum – Golden Sulphide of Antimony
The attenuations are prepared from a mixture of Antimony (III)-sulphide and Sulphur.
Chronic asthma. Bronchial catarrhs.
Copious discharges of mucus from the nose are characteristic of this remedy, also
from the sinuses and in colds with difficult respiratory and asthmatic constriction.
Indications for this remedy are burning pains and heat in the pharynx and larynx,
and an accumulation of tough mucus in the bronchi and larynx.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Stibium sulphuratum aurantiacum,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for antimonium sulphuratum aurantiacum: chronic bronchitis;
emphysema.
Aorta Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the aorta of a healthy pig (Sus
scrofa domesticus).
Hypotension, afflictions of the blood-vessels such as intermittent claudication and
gangrene. To be used with care in states such as angina pectoris: first use antihomotoxic
preparations, e.g. Cor (Heart sarcode) 10X/30X/200X.
140
Apis Mellifica – Honey-Bee
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole honey-bee, Apis mellifica L. N.O.
Apidae.
This unique homoeopathic remedy, prepared from the honey-bee, is distinguished
by typical symptoms. Apis Mellifica is indicated for the characteristically burning,
stinging pains, violent and fiery like the sting of a bee. There is also a certain oversensitivity
to touch and frequently also to any jarring, so that the patient will yell out
at the slightest bump against the bed. This symptom may occur in frozen shoulder,
or in meningeal irritation. In the latter, such a typical penetrating scream (known as
the “cri encephalique”) may begin with no apparent cause. Thus Apis is a polychrest
which is frequently indicated in inflammatory and irritative conditions, whether
these be of the serous membranes, the meninges, the synovial membranes or the mucous
membranes.
Apis has a special relationship with the right-hand side of the body, much as Lachesis
tends to the left side. Thus Apis is also an important remedy in right-sided parametritis,
in salpingitis and oöphoritis, and also especially in ovarian cysts. Here one
mostly finds the typical burning, stinging pains, which may extend to the sacrum.
Apis is also indicated in right-sided tonsillitis, when the uvula hangs down in the
pharynx like an oedematous sac.
Apis, indeed, is a remedy for oedemas of every kind, whether they be of the acute,
inflammatory kind such as may occur following a bee-sting, or whether they be a
consequence of renal insufficiency in glomerulonephritis or of cardiac failure. In all
such cases Apis may be successfully employed, particularly in combination with
other suitable supporting remedies. Oedemas which require Apis frequently occur
around the eyes, causing the lower lids, in particular, to hang down as if full of
water. In erysipelas there is oedematous swelling of the skin, and further indications
include scrotal oedema, pleural effusions and ascites, in which thirstlessness is typical.
Apis is also indicated in acute skin eruptions and urticaria. Apis has similarities
with these, and also complements Sulphur well, since both remedies are able to deal
with suppressive poisonings (retoxications). In the case of Apis, the homotoxin has
been diluted by flooding of the tissues on account of the oedema. A combination of
these two remedies achieves excellent results, or they can be given in alternation.
Nash recommends Apis also in diphtheria, and was able to halt and cure a serious
epidemic with Apis.
Whilst Apis patients can be very restless, in other cases there may be a profound
stupor, interrupted now and again by the “cri encephalique”, as in meningitis. When
patients are found to be alternately hot and dry or perspiring, this alternation is an indication
for Apis, similar to that which we find in Lachesis. Apis is strongly indicated
in scarlet fever, especially when kidney or brain complications occur.
In the Apis patient, the tongue is coated whitish with a red tip. Along the edge we
find vesicles with stabbing pain.
141
The main symptoms of Apis may be summed up as follows for quick reference: - Stabbing, burning pains like the sting of a bee.
- Amelioration from cold.
- Sensitivity to touch and jarring.
- Irritation of the meninges, especially from suppressed eruptions.
- Diseases of the serosa, joints, meninges.
- Oedematous swellings with formations like water-filled sacs. Infiltration of the
cellular tissues. - Right-sided tonsillitis with oedematous swelling of uvula.
- Right-sided adnexitis, and other kinds of right-sided inflammatory illnesses or
deposition phases (cysts in adnexa). - Serous meningitis, “cri encephalique”.
- Alternation between dryness, heat and sweat.
- Scarlatina and acute glomerulonephritis.
- Tongue coated white, with red tip and burning, stinging vesicles on the edge.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Apis mellifica, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
apis mellifica: inflammations and disorders with collection of fluid in tissues and
cavities of the body; allergies.
Apisinum – Honey-Bee Venom
The attenuations are prepared from the careful dried poison of the honey-bee,
Apis mellifica. N.O. Apidae.
The indications are similar or exactly the same as for Apis Mellifica and Formicicum
Acidum.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Apisinum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
apisinum: inflammations and disorders associated with collection of fluids in tisues
and cavities of the body.
142
Apocynum – Indian Hemp
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant Apocynum
cannabinum L., which is a native of the U.S.A., Canada and Russia. N.O. Apocynaceae.
Hydrocehalus. Oedema. Fluid retention of various origins. Great thirst, but vomits
every sip of water immediately. Watery stools with unsteadiness and feeling of
weakness in stomach and abdomen. Haemorrhagic tendency. Nephrosis.
Nephropathies with oedemas and albuminuria. Tobacco heart.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Apocynum cannabinum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for apocynum: cardiac insufficiency associated with edema; chronic renal
inflammation associated with edema; diarrhoea with vomiting.
Apomorphinum Hydrochloricum – Apomorphine Hydrochloride
The attenuations are prepared from Apomorphine hydrochloride,
C17H18ClNO2 · 5H2O, MW: 312.8.
Vomiting with cerebral involvement. Nausea. Hyperemesis. Sea-sickness.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Apomorphinum hydrochloricum,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for apomorphinum hydrochloricum: vomiting, as associated with
various diseases.
Appendicitis Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgically removed inflamed vermiform
appendix.
Chronic swellings of the lymph glands. Irritative conditions such as appendicitis.
May be tried experimentally in chronic constipation.
In their homoeopathic form, the nosodes often offer the body, the missing molecular
fragment, which will bring about a specific enzyme-stimulus directed at the
pathological (homotoxic) situation, in accordance with the Reversal effect (Arndt-
Schultz Law) and the Law of Similars (Hahnemann).
143
Aquilegia – Columbine
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant in bloom, Aquilegia
vulgaris L. N.O. Ranunculaceae.
Menstrual disturbances, functional amenorrhoea. Menopausal problems. Depression
during the menses.
Aquilegia is particularly a remedy for nervous female patients, mostly suffering
from hormonal dysfunction, e.g. with globus hystericus, but also suffering from
sleeplessness, nervous tremors and sensitivity to light and noise, especially during
painful menstruation (dysmenorrhoea). This is often accompanied by painful pressure
in the loin on the right-hand side.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aquilegia vulgaris, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for aquilegia: insomnia in conjunction with nervousness.
Aralia Racemosa – American Spikenard
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant Aralia racemosa
L., which is a native of North America. N.O. Araliaceae.
Hay fever. Bronchial asthma. Leucorrhoea. Pruritus.
Aralia is indicated by a great sensitivity to draughts; the slightest draught causes
sneezing. Respiration makes a whistling sound, with a feeling of imminent suffocation,
especially on inspiration, worse lying. At night coughing paroxysms occur,
waking the patient from first sleep and obliging him to sit up. This is accompanied
by a constriction of the chest, as if laced up, with the sensation as if a foreign body
were lodged in the throat.
Aralia is often indicated in retoxic phases resulting from suppressed discharges,
e.g. suppressed menses, retoxically treated leucorrhoea, and also in asthma following
harmful use of narcotics.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aralia racemosa, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
aralia racemosa: common cold; allergic disorders of the respiratory organs, such as
hay fever and asthma.
144
Aranea Diadema – Diadem Spider
The mother tincture is prepared from the Diadem spider, Araneus diadematus
Clerck. N.O. Araneidae.
Lack of vital heat. Chilliness. All complaints aggravated by wet and cold. Neuralgia
of the upper jaw at night. Feeling as of ice in the bones. Hydrogenoid constitution.
Pain in the heels. Haemorrhagic tendency. Colitis with bleeding.
Also characteristic of this remedy are intermittently occurring fevers, the fever expressing
itself almost exclusively as a chill, followed only seldom by heat and never
by sweat. Aranea is indicated in numerous complaints associated with impregnation
phases, especially in the neurodermal area (nervous system), such as the feeling of
great relaxation, tiredness and faintness with very restless sleep and frequent waking,
and possible delusions of the lower arm and hands being larger and heavier
than usual. There may also be a painful burrowing and drawing in the spinal nerves,
with headache and a feeling of heaviness in the head. There is also the sensation as if
the eyes were trembling, and there may be tremors in the upper arm. Aranea is also
said to be indicated in malarial cachexia, with considerable enlargement of the
spleen.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Araneus diadematus, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for aranea diadema: abnormal blood pressure; periodically occurring neuralgia;
intermittent episodes of fever; Parkinson’s disease; paralgesia; painful articular
disease.
Arctium Lappa – Burdock
The mother tincture is prepared from the freshly-gathered roots of one-year-old
plants of Arctium lappa L., Articum minus [Hill.] and Arctium tomentosum Mill.
N.O. Compositae.
Skin diseases. Eczema of the scalp.
Arctium Lappa is recommended not only in boils, but also in chronic, recurring
erysipelas, and for uterine prolapse.
Arctium Lappa is used externally for offensive perspiration of the axillae. (The
area in question should be washed with a 50 : 50 mixture of tincture and water.)
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation-Monograph for Arctium lappa, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
arctium lappa: weeping skin eruptions; prolapse of the uterus; rheumatism.
145
Argentum Metallicum – Silver
The attenuations are prepared from a trituration of metallic silver, Ag, AW: 107.9.
Loss of memory. Pain in the left ovary, as if enlarged. Chronic hoarseness of
speakers and singers. Pains in the joints. Coxalgia. Pains in the rib cartilage. Braintiredness
in mental workers. Repeated low potencies of Argentum Metallicum over a
long period eventually cause argyria, resulting from a deposition phase of silver in
the epidermis.
Indications for Argentum Metallicum include a cramping pain at various sites in
the body, and the symptom: vertigo on looking into running water.
Other characteristic symptoms include occipital headache after mental exertion,
with an empty sensation in the head and loss of memory; also a pale, wan face and
itching in the canthi.
There is a dryness of the mouth with accumulation of sticky saliva which makes
speaking difficult, and sore throat with hoarseness and difficulty in swallowing and
attacks of deep coughing; a feeling of weakness in the chest with constriction are
also indications for Argentum Metallicum.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Argentum metallicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for argentum: chronic inflammations of the pharynx and larynx: mental
exhaustion; disturbances of the nervous system, accompanied by lameness and
cramps in the arms and legs; inflamatory swelling of the ovaries.
Argentum Nitricum – Silver Nitrate
The attenuations are prepared from Silver nitrate, AgNO3, MW: 161.9.
Silver Nitrate, also known as “lunar caustic”, is the medicine with which
every civilised person unavoidably becomes acquainted at the beginning of his
or her extra-uterine existence, for, as a part of the Crede prophylaxis, every newborn
child has one drop of a 1% solution (formerly 2%) introduced into the eye-tissue.
Whereas in orthodox medicine Argentum Nitricum is used primarily as an astringent,
a disinfectant and a caustic, in homoeopathy it is an important polychrest, distinguished
by its extensive range of healing action. Many types of orthodox treatment
with this substance, e.g. cauterisation of excess tissue, astringeing of the mucosum
in duodenal ulcer as part of the Roll treatment, may, when effective, be seen
as unintentional homoeopathy. Of course, the dilutions used in these procedures correspond
to the homoeopathic low potencies in common use. Furthermore, an additional
resorptive effect is always to be reckoned within external use. In tabes dorsalis
146
there is also an oral indication for Argentum Nitricum tablets which were formerly
much used.
Argentum Nitricum in homoeopathic potency has obvious effects on the autonomic
nervous system, and vagotonous conditions in particular derive benefit from it.
However, irritations too, eg. lancinating pains in tabes are alleviated or removed by
Argentum Nitricum. Radiating pains are typical, especially stomach pains extending
up into the chest cavity and mimicking angina pectoris. Frequently there is also distension
of the abdomen – part of the gastro-cardiac symptom-complex, ameliorated
by loud, explosive eructations, as can also be the case with Phosphorus and Asafoetida.
The Argentum Nitricum patient is anxious and restless, exhibiting many features
of neurasthenia, and is very concerned about his state of health. Argentum Nitricum
patients furthermore have cravings for sweets, especially sugar. Diarrhoea easily occurs
from excitement, and all symptoms, especially gastric ones, are aggravated by
becoming flustered. The typical Argentum Nitricum headache is ameliorated by having
a cloth firmly bound around the head. Vertigo also occurs, accompanied by general
weakness and trembling, also tinnitus, such as one finds in Ménière’s syndrome.
Argentum Nitricum is indicated in hoarseness of singers, with roughness and
scratching in the throat and a sensation as of a splinter lodged in the throat; also in
polyps of the vocal cords. Tiredness in the lower legs, calves and lower arms are
likewise typical. Argentum Nitricum is indicated in epilepsy, when the pupils are enlarged
for hours or days before the attack. In this area it is only seldom that one will
be able to expect a full and final cure; however, distinct improvements can often be
achieved, e.g. in the frequency and violence of the attacks. It must also be mentioned
that in such it is absolutely necessary to maintain a diet which is strictly free of sutoxins.
Let us sum up the most important symptoms of Argentum Nitricum: - Distension in the upper abdomen, gastro-cardiac symptom-complex, amelioration
from eructations. - Spluttering diarrhoea, flecked, green, mucoid stools like chopped spinach.
- Headache, ameliorated by tight binding of the head.
- Catarrh and hoarseness of singers, speakers, teachers etc. after over-exertion of
the voice. Sensation of a splinter in the throat. Catarrh of the pharynx, ears and
conjunctiva. - States of weakness and exhaustion, primarily in the calves and lower arms.
- Lancinating pains in tabes-sufferers.
- Gastric crises.
- Epilepsy with mydriasis a few days before the attack.
- Agoraphobia, neurasthenia, restlessness and worry. Diarrhoea from excitement,
stage-fright, vertigo. Romberg’s sign is positive. - Bleeding gastric ulcers. (Use high potencies!)
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Argentum nitricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
147
Gazette) for argentum nitricum: psychosomatic disorders of the alimentary tract;
migraine.
Aristolochia Clematitis – Birthwort
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts of the plant Aristolochia
clematitis L. N.O. Aristolochiaceae.
Skin diseases (ulcers, wounds, eczema, acne, etc.). Diseases of the female reproductive
tract (amenorrhoea). Menopausal arthropathy. Gastro-intestinal catarrh.
The following further symptoms appeared in the provings: stabbing and lancinating
pains in various areas of the body, cramping pains in the heels, stabbing pains in
the heart, so that the patient can hardly breathe; raw lips and inflamed gums, tongue
coated white in the morning, lack of appetite and colicky abdominal pains, followed
by loose stools with burning in the anus and frequent urging to urinate.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aristolochia clematitis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for aristolochia clematitis: paramenia; affections of the venous system.
Arnica – Leopard’s Bane
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried roots of Arnica montana L. N.O.
Compositae.
Arnica is the best-known folk-remedy for wounds, injuries, contusions etc. of
every kind, and may also be used in concussion of the brain, distortions, bruises,
fractures, haematomas etc. Likewise damage resulting from over-exertion is an indication,
e.g. of the heart (athletes). Arnica patients als complain of a sensation of
weakness, tiredness and general exhaustion. A specific symptom is that everything
on which he lies feels too hard (Nash), and so he must be constantly changing position
in order to find relief. Even the bed seems too hard. In septic states this is often
an indication for Arnica, though Baptisia – another often-used remedy in sepsis –
has the same symptom. The Arnica patient relapses quickly into his stupor when
aroused from it. Arnica also has – like Baptisia – a dark streak down the middle of
the tongue, and also a dusky-red face, such as is found in the course of sepsis and typhus.
Stools and urine are often passed unawares, and bruises appear beneath the
skin. In whooping cough, children who need Arnica or Baptisia, cry before the
coughing comes on. All these cases are strict indications for Arnica. As well as with
Baptisia, Arnica also has a certain similarity with Belladonna, head and face being
red and hot, while body and limbs are cool or cold.
148
Further noteworthy Arnica symptoms are: putrid smell from the mouth, offensive
eructations and distension with flatus smelling of rotten eggs, and a battered feeling
in the uterine area, so that the patient cannot walk upright. The presence of many
small, painful boils, occurring one after the other, is an indication for Arnica. The
Arnica constitution is usually muscular and athletic, plethoric and tending to hypertension;
however, this is no reason not to prescribe Arnica in septic states, even in
weakly, neurasthenic patients, if the correct symptoms are present. This principle of
prescribing according to the symptoms outweighs by far any constitutional considerations
which may be present, and applies for all remedies as a general rule.
Up to now little attention has been paid to the action of Arnica in septic states,
where it ranks equally with Baptisia and can often be prescribed alongside or with it,
or differentiation made from it. Battered pains occur also in Baptisia, Phytolacca,
Rhus Tox., Ruta, Staphisagria, China and others, but in Arnica, however, they are
characteristically especially marked. If other typical Arnica symptoms are also present,
then Arnica will be the remedy of choice and prove to act best.
Arnica complements Rhus Toxicodendron well. The latter will follow with advantage
when the action of Arnica has died down and the case has fundamentally altered.
The following is a summary of the important symptoms of Arnica: - Injuries of every kind, such as haemorrhages, injuries to the soft tissues, concussion,
dislocations, contusions, fractures, subluxations and others. - Consquences of over-exertion, e.g. muscular ache, sportsman’s heart.
- Everything seems too hard (the bed is too hard). General battered sensation.
- Offensive eructations. Putrid smell from the mouth. Distension, with flatus
smelling of sulphuretted hydrogen. - Battered feeling in the uterine area and inability to walk upright.
- Coughing with chest pain. Child cries before the coughing paroxysm in whooping
cough. - Septic states with a dark streak down the middle of the tongue, dusky-red face
and episodes of restlessness, possibility of delirium. - Stool and urine pass unnoticed.
- Apoplexy. Ruptured blood-vessels. (Like Aconite, Arnica has a special action on
the arterial circulatory system.) - Tendency to extremely painful boils, appearing one after the other.
- Hoarseness of speakers and singers.
- Neurodermitis and eczema on the forehead, cheeks and face, with itching. (In
external application, Arnica may cause skinirritation.)
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation-Monograph for Arnica montana, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
arnica: haemorrhages of all kinds; myalgia after excessive strain; disorders of the
arterial and venous systems.

Arsenicum Album – Arsenous Acid Anhydride
The attenuations are prepared from the trituration of Arsenic trioxide, As2O3, MW:
197.8.
Arsenic is one of the best-known and most serious poisons, and therefore, by Reverse
action, is also frequently in demand as a homoeopathic polychrest. It is specially
indicated when, on account of retoxic impregnation, a humoral phase does not
reach regressive vicariation, possibly displaying a tendency to progressive vicariation.
A typical symptomatic indication for Arsenicum Album is the emotional mood of
the patient, in whatever kind of phase. The Arsenicum patient displays – in both
words and gestures – a certain hopelessness as to his condition. There is also a certain
anxiety that all medical efforts are in vain; this is an indication for Arsenicum.
One might find such a state, for example, in a heart-patient with oedema and serious
dyspnoea, who enters the consulting room having scarcely been able to drag
himself up the stairs. If he now makes the statement that in his condition he is beyond
help, then in addition to an intravenous injection of Digitalis or some drug with
similar action, it is absolutely necessary to give Arsenicum Album as well. In such
cases the action of the indicated homoeopathic remedy can be observed in a particularly
impressive way, for an injection of Arsenicum achieves an almost instantaneous
effect on such patients, which would not be seen in a comparable case had
Digitalis alone been given. In such cases Arsenicum Album can take an intransigent
Digitalis heart and make it amenable again.
One may find a similar hopelessness in poisoning with other substances which
produce similar symptoms to those of Arsenic. So, for example, aluminium tartrate
30 poisoning can produce gastroenteritis similar to that of arsenic, characterised
by incessant vomiting and exhausting diarrhoea. Arsenicum can then release the patient
from his lethargy and obviously hopeless situation. Hahnemann’s Law of Similars
is classically demonstrated in such cases, in contrast to isotherapy. For arsenic
poisoning is more rapidly amenable to an agent which creates similar symptoms to
those of arsenic, e.g. aluminium tartrate, and vice versa.
Restlessness must be given as a further symptom of Arsenicum, often coupled
with this hopeless anxiety. Such restlessness is also found, e.g., in renal colic, especially
when localised on the right. In right-sided renal colic, however, Arsenicum
must be given in rather higher potencies, e.g. 30X or 200X. Even in such cases one
may prescribe Arsenicum Album either i.v. or s.c. (kidney area) or orally.
Burning sensations are a further important symptom of Arsenicum, such as often
occur in the course of catarrhs, e.g. in pharyngeal catarrh, when there is burning of
the skin and itching with burning after scratching, or again, in fluent coryza when
the nasal discharge is burning hot. Stomach complaints may be characterised by
burning, or it may arise from discharges of any kind. When Arsenicum is indicated,
the skin eruptions and other symptoms are mostly of a stubborn nature, or may even
border on the phase of degeneration or exhibit development along malignant lines.
150
Arsenicum is also indicated in cases of physical weakness, exhaustion or a steep
drop in energy, which may occur in the course of an acute gastroenteritis or loss of
vital fluids, or insufficient nutrition, or if a patient is run down from overwork or
hunger and needs to lie down. In such cases it is right not to wait too long before giving
Arsenicum, but to use it as early as possible, i.e. as soon as the symptoms begin.
In episodes, feverish or otherwise, Arsenicum is always effective if there is a need
of warmth, or if pains are better from warmth, usually with strong thirst. The patients
asks frequently for a drink but mostly takes only small sips, preferring slightly
warm drinks. In many cases drinking is closely followed by vomiting.
The lips of the Arsenicum patient are mostly dry, even parched and cracked, so
that the patient tends to moisten them with the tongue.
The Arsenicum patient’s tongue is mostly dry and red, with raised papillae, and
possibly showing a red imprint at the edges from the teeth. It can however also be
chalky-white, similar to the tongue of Antimonium Crudum. In serious cases of typhus
and sepsis it may be dry, brown and black, as one may find in Phosphorus and
Sulphur patients. Aphthous or ulcerative stomatitis with gangrene may well indicate
Arsenicum and not only Mercurius Solubilis or Mercurius Sublimatus Corrosivus.
The four remedies: Phosphorus, Mercurius, Sulphur and Arsenicum have many similarities.
Arsenicum also has typical stomach pains, which are aggravated by the slightest
food-intake, and which throw the patient into the greatest restlessness, tossing about.
They may result from cold drinks or eating ice-cream. Foul-smelling stools, such as
are found in typhus and septic conditions, may also indicate Arsenicum.
Where indicated,Arsenicum is also excellent in asthma. A particular characteristic
is the occurrence of complaints at night, or their aggravation at midnight or around
1:00 a.m.
Boils and carbuncles indicate Arsenicum if they burn like fire. On the other hand,
the patient’s skin may be cold and blue, or dry like parchment, coming off in great
scales, such as one sees in psoriasis and similar illnesses. Arsenicum is suitable in
gangrene, if black mummification occurs, burning like fire. Generally speaking, one
needs to think of Arsenicum, as of Sulphur, in all retoxic impregnations, especially
after the suppression of eczema and rashes, e.g. in asthma which vicariates with
skin diseases, or in renal colics which occur after suppression of foot-sweat. In such
cases Arsenicum will act on any tissue or organ.
Like Sulphur, Arsenicum is indicated after retoxic impregnations, possibly in alternation
with Mercurius, Hepar Sulphuris and Phosphorus; also with other animal,
vegetable or mineral polychrests (Lachesis, Baptisia, Arnica, Belladonna, Apis and
others).
Arsenicum Album is used in a wide variety of preparations and potencies, being
one of the most important remedies in Homoeopathy. If the emotional symptoms are
more prominent, the higher potencies are to be preferred, and as shock-therapy these
can also be given without hesitation in frequently repeated dosage.
The view that high potencies must only be given in infrequent doses and allowed
to work for weeks is not supported by practice. In asthma, or in right-sided renal
151
colic, Arsenicum should be given in repeated doses (every 5–10 minutes until recovery).
Recently Arsenicum Album, even in its attenuated form, has been suspected by
some doctors as a carcinogen and therefore refused. We cannot agree with this view,
inasmuch as the potencies in regular homoeopathic use (4X upwards) are no longer
capable of carcinogenic action, especially bearing in mind that the normal dose is
only a few drops three times a day. Because of the reversal effect, the 6X, 12X, 30X,
200X and 1000X potencies, as highly attenuated antihomotoxics, have an expressly
anticarcinogenic action. Repeatedly one can see this powerful antihomotoxic action
of Arsenicum – theoretically entirely to be expected – brilliantly prevailing when
properly indicated.
Thus Arsenicum Album is one of our most important antihomotoxic remedies,
which may be combined without hesitation with numerous other polychrests and homoeopathic
preparations, also as mixed injections. Arsenicum Album complements
Arnica well, e.g. after over-exertion, in athletes etc.
A wealth of case-histories could be cited to illustrate the stature of Arsenicum
Album as one of the greatest of all homoeopathic polychrests; may this short account
of it simply stimulate the reader to study it more closely and to use it in suitable
cases.
The main symptoms may be set out here once more: - Emotional symptoms: timidity, hopelessness. The patient believes that he cannot
be cured. - Great restlessness and urge to be moving.
- Aggravation in the small hours, or around 1:00 a.m. Attacks of asthma, heart attacks,
renal pain, itching, etc. - Desire for warmth and warm drinks.
- Burning pains and burning itching, ameliorated by warm applications.
- Typhoid fevers.
- Great unquenchable thirst for warm or lukewarm drinks. Only drinks in small
sips, so moistening lips and oral cavity. - Tongue is dry, red with raised papillae, may be coated white, brown or black
also. - Gastroenteritis of the most violent kind with insatiable vomiting and diarrhoea.
- Aphthous stomatitis.
- Unbearable burning stomach-pains on taking the least food. Foul-smelling evacuations.
- Bronchial asthma, taking the place of skin diseases.
- Excoriating discharges, burning coryza, conjunctivitis with burning secretion,
burning leucorrhoea. - Serous exudations. Pleurisy. Pleural effusion. General pale swellings of the
joints and inflammatory swelling with burning, lancinating pains. General
anasarca. Skin waxy- or earthy-coloured, or peeling off like parchment; scaly
skin in eczemas and psoriasis.
152 - Burning and decaying ulcerations with a blue, black or speckled underlying surface,
as in ulcers of the lower leg. Burning carbuncles and boils. Gangrene with
burning pains. - Periodicity of symptoms.
- Vicariation between asthma and eczema, and other conditions.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum arsenicosum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for arsenicum album: inflammations of all degrees of severity in all tissues
and organs; serious infections; diseases of attrition; benign and malignant proliferation
of tissue; emotional discord or upset.
Arsenicum Iodatum – Arsenictriiodide
The attenuations are prepared from Arsenictriiodide, AsI3 , MW: 455.6.
Asthma. Pulmonary tuberculosis. Dry irritating cough without expectoration. Aggravation
after midnight. Encourages the appetite.
Arsenicum Iodatum is also indicated in eczematous eruptions, also in psoriasis
and formation of skin cancer, and it can also be effective in tumours of the mammary
glands (cf. Mastopathia cystica Nosode). On the basis of the provings (by Dr.
Hale) scrofulous eye-inflammations should respond favourably, likewise stiffness
and painfulness in the left side of the neck, aggravated by movement.
Symptoms which may lead to the selection of Arsenicum Iodatum are: burning
heat in the sacrum, as if the clothes were on fire. Itching on the backs of both hands,
especially the left. Shivering of the left thigh, formication in the left thigh, later also
in the right, extending to the foot, ameliorated by walking. Heaviness of the legs
with general tiredness.
The mucus which is very tenacious in asthma may be tough, stringy and sometimes
glassy, or may also form a whitish mass. In purulent bronchitis and pulmonary
abscess (for which it is the main remedy), the mucus may be yellowish-green, almost
like pus, and may have blood mixed with it.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Arsenicum jodatum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for arsenicum iodatum: common cold; bronchitis; glandular swelling;
geriatric heart.
153
Artemisia Vulgaris – Mugwort
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant Artemisia vulgaris
L., a native of Europe, Asia and North America. N.O. Compositae.
Sydenham’s chorea. Hysteria. Complaints due to worms. Asthenopia. Vertigo
from coloured light.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Artemisia vulgaris, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for artemisia vulgaris: spasmodic disorders (cramps); worms.
Arteria Suis – Artery
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh arteries of a healthy
pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
Disturbances of circulation. Periarteritis. Intermittent claudication. Diabetes mellitus.
Gangrene. Buerger’s disease. Cramps in the calf-muscles.
Arum Maculatum – Cuckoo-pint
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh tuber, gathered before the leaves
develop. The plant Arum maculatum L. is found in damp woodlands of Central and
Southern Europe. N.O. Araceae.
The main indications are as follows:
Pharyngitis, laryngitis. Hay fever. Bulbar palsy with inability to swallow. Excessive
salivation. Cramps. Paralyses (with bulbar involvement). The nose, mouth and
pharynx are hot and inflamed, raw and painful.
Contact of the freshly-pressed juice of this plant with the skin produces redness,
swelling and blistering. If it is injected intravenously, death follows, with paralysis
and spasms. This gives the symptoms which also emerged in the provings, such as
swimming in the head, sleepiness, flushing of the face in sleep, catarrhs of the mucosa
of eyes and nose, stomatitis with bleeding of the gums at the slightest touch,
tongue swollen and painful. In the gullet there is a sensation of tickling, stinging and
burning, and difficulty in swallowing, linked with pain.
The mucosa of the respiratory and digestive tracts are also affected, with burning,
contractive stomach pain. There is vomiting of mucus and blood, cramping intestinal
colics, and also copious menstrual bleeding.
154
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation-Monograph for Arum maculatum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
arum maculatum: inflammation of the upper respiratory passages; nasal polyps.
Arum Triphyllum – Indian Turnip
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh tuber, gathered before the development
of the leaves. The plant grows wild in North and South America and in China.
Arisaema triphyllum (L.) Torr. N.O. Araceae.
Acute laryngitis. Cracking of the voice. Hoarseness of speakers. Acute catarrhs,
pharyngitis, bronchitis. Scarlatina.
A prominent symptom is the tendency to copious sweating. A certain forgetfulness
and absent-mindedness indicate Arum Triphyllum, especially if there is a predominantly
irritable mood and sleep is restless and disturbed.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation-Monograph for Arisaema triphyllum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for arum triphyllum: acute inflammations of the upper respiratory passages
and of the oral cavity; vocal overstrain.
Asa foetida – Devil’s Dung
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried gum-resin from various species of
Ferula, such as Ferula assa foetida L., Ferula foetida (Bunge) Regel. N.O. Umbelliferae.
The tincture, prepared as above, has an unpleasant, obtrusive odour and taste. It
was formerly used allopathically in various nervous illness.
Important indications are bone problems and ulcers, which are best treated with
medium and high potencies, whilst in nervous problems and in digestive complaints
with distension, lower potencies are rather indicated. (“Full of wind, flatulence with
eructations, everything pressing upwards, but nothing downwards.” Nash.)
Mental and physical hypersensitivity and irritability are present, with a tendency
to hypochondria, hysteria and nervousness, especially when normal discharges have
been suppressed. (Retoxic phases.)
In chronic paronychia, according to Fellenberg-Ziegler, Asa foetida acts even
when other remedies fail.
155
Asa foetida is indicated in syphilitic iritis, and after abuse of mercury, such as was
formerly common in treatment of syphilis; especially when burning, pulsating pains
predominate in the bones of the eye-socket. The characteristic pains of Asa foetida
proceed from within outwards, and are stabbing, tearing, pulsating, intermittent, and
may change into other kinds of complaint on being touched, often linked with a
sensation of numbness.
A further Asa foetida symptom is a chronic discharge of pus from the ear (perforation),
possibly linked with hearing impairment. Particularly characteristic however
is the “globus hystericus”, with gastric and oesophageal cramps and the feeling of an
object rising in the gullet. This may be accompanied by a feeling of emptiness in the
stomach, rancid eructations, burning in the gullet and a greasy taste.
The colicky distension, as if everything would burst and as if there were reversed
peristalsis in the intestines, is especially prominent when discharges have previously
been suppressed, or uterine problems of various kinds have been retoxically treated,
or also if the milk suddenly dries up during lactation in hypersensitive women.
In such cases, Asa foetida is said to bring in the milk again.
Nash emphasises especially that all the discharges are offensive, and that there is
great sensitivity to touch, which may be a prominent symptom in osteitis or caries of
the bones with violent nocturnal symptoms.
Complaints are aggravated in a room, at night, by touch and at rest, and are ameliorated
by pressure, rubbing and movement in the open air.
The symptom-picture of Asa foetida is characterised by numerous objective
changes on the physical level, but also by further symptoms of a nervous kind such
as bad moods, work-shyness, irritation and hastiness, restless sleep with sleepiness
in the daytime, twitching in individual muscle-groups, headaches and vertigo, as if
light-headed and depraved. There are spasmodic twitchings of the eyelids, possible
ringing in the ears, and a dulling of the acuity of hearing. There may also be pressure
on the heart, shuddering with hot flushes, feeling of constriction with coughing,
tenesmus at defaecation with reversed peristalsis, everything pushing upwards, but
also ulceration of soft parts and in bone-tissue with viscous or thin offensive pus and
a general physical and mental hypersensitivity.
Summing up the main symptoms of Asa foetida, we have the following typical
picture of the remedy: - Globus hystericus with spasmodic contractions of the oesophagus, as though a
foreign body were rising and falling or being swallowed. - Lack of appetite. Rancid or greasy eructations. Retching. Distension with flatus
pressing upwards and offensive flatulence. - Hot flushes with surges of blood, light-headedness and vertigo.
- Offensive secretions from ulcers, also from the skin.
- Osteitis, periostitis and caries of the bones with violent pains at night, better from
pressure and rubbing. - Milk dries up during lactation.
- Chronic otitis media with purulent discharge and hearing impairment. Chronic
paronychia and iritis.
156
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation-Monograph for Asa foetida, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
asa foetida: chronic inflammations of the respiratory passages; nervous disorders of
the alimentary tract; bone diseases; varicose veins; skin ulceration and development
of fistulas; dysfunction in normal milk flow; headaches; various nervous disorders.
Ascarides Nosode – Maw-Worm
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from maw-worms, (Ascaris lumbricoides),
parasites inhabiting the human small intestine.
When they occur in large quantities, maw-worms can bring about a symptomatology
corresponding to paralytic ileus. According to the Law of Similars, therefore,
the Ascarides Nosode is used in spastic complaints in the abdominal cavity, especially
in the intestinal area, in children, not on its own but complementing spasmodic
remedies such as Cuprum, Colocynthis, Veratrum, Belladonna, Nux Vomica and
others. Apart from this, however, we must take into account the nervous reflex-states
arising from worm-infestation, such as tics, and neural affections of many kinds, especially
if the patient has dark rings around the eyes, and in excessively nervous and
irritable children (cf. Chamomilla, Antimonium Crudum, Staphisagria); in such
cases it may also be used alongside Cina, Tanacetum, Thymus Serpyllum,
Chenopodium, Ambra and others.
One must also think of the Ascarides Nosode in epileptic spasms and gastric ulceration.
Asclepias Tuberosa – Pleurisy Root
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant Asclepias
tuberosa L., which is a native of North America and former Jugoslavia. N.O. Asclepiadaceae.
Intercostal neuralgia.
The American name of the plant, “Pleurisy Root”, shows the particular relationship
with the pleura, and also to the chest-muscles. Stabbing pains, aggravated by
motion, on either side of the rib-cage, between the scapulae and in the intercostal
spaces, all respond well and quickly to the remedy.
Abdominal symptoms too are found, e.g. nausea with retching, flatulent colic and
dysenteric stools, also with fever symptoms and subsequent sweating.
157
All complaints are aggravated by cold, damp weather. There is also a sensitivity to
tobacco.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Asclepias tuberosa, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette)
for asclepias tuberosa: dry pleurisy; rheumatism; neuralgia in thoracic areas.
Asparagicum Acidum – Aspartic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from L-Aspartic acid,
COOHCH(NH2)CH2COOH(C4H7NO4), MW: 133.1.
An intermediary factor in the function of enzymes and redox systems. All impregnation
phases, also asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis,
pre-cancerous states and in neoplasm phases (especially in the early stages), to improve
cell-respiration.
Asterias Rubens – Starfish
The mother tincture is prepared from the starfish, Asterias rubens L. N.O. Asteroidae.
Carcinomatous ulcers.
Asterias Rubens was used by Hippocrates in ailments of the womb. It is also an
old remedy for epilepsy.
Characteristic symptoms include surges of blood to the head, obstinate constipation,
dull occipital headache, pressure in the forehead, pressure in the eyes with
flushed face, stabbing pains in the breasts and itching of the skin, with a tendency
for the symptoms to appear more on the left half of the body. If other significant
symptoms are present, it may be used in mammary cancer, threatened apoplexy and
obstinate constipation, as well as ulcers of a cancerous nature.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Asterias rubens, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
asterias rubens: paramenia; hardening of the mammary gland; acne; headaches.
158
Asthma Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the sputum of a person suffering
from bronchial asthma gathered at the end of the attack.
Bronchial asthma. Emphysema. Chronic bronchitis. Pulmonary congestion. Silicosis.
Cyanosis. Has been found helpful in empirical use for dribbling of urine and
in attacks of whooping cough, spastic constipation, chronic eczemas and anxietystates
of all kinds, even in children. Agoraphobia. Frigidity. To encourage histaminedetoxification
in other impregnation phases.
ATP – Adenosine Triphosphate
The attenuations are prepared from the disodium salt of adenosine-5’-triphosphate,
C10H14N5Na2O13P3, MW: 551.2.
Damage to the energy-utilising systems (Citric Acid cycle and others), especially
iatrogenic damage.
According to Bogen, Adenosine triphosphate is the “change of the cell”, carrying
out general functions as a conductor of energy.
The drug picture of Adenosine triphosphate was composed in Juli 1996 by David
Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Atropinum Sulphuricum – Atropine Sulphate
The attenuations are prepared from Atropine sulphate, C34H48N2O10S (3α-D,LTropoyloxytropanium
sulphate), MW: 694.9.
It acts like Belladonna, but is to be preferred in neuralgias, painful states, whooping
cough, migraine, optical illusions (everything appears larger than it is), biliary
colic, and epilepsy. It should be used if Belladonna fails.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Atropinum sulphuricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for atropinum sulfuricum: congestive inflammation of the upper respiratory
passages; inflammations of the organs of elimination, including the skin.
Aurum/Aurum Colloidale – Gold/Colloid Gold
The attenuations are prepared from triturated metallic gold powder, Au. In the
preparation of Aurum colloidale, colloid gold is used.
The possession of Aurum, or metallic gold, is the goal of the efforts of a greater
part of mankind, because of its apparent ability to provide the greatest happiness on
earth. However, in its symptom-picture as a remedy, it is characterised by just the
opposite: deepest depression, suicidal tendencies and disgust with life. This depressive
mood-imbalance is the main indication for the use of Aurum. Often coupled
with it are heart-complaints, also with missed heart-beats and pressure and constriction
of the chest. Palpitations are usually hard and pumping, linked with a visible
beating of the arteries in neck and temples, with anxiety-states and congestion of
blood in the chest. Aurum is also indicated in bone-conditions, such as occur in tertiary
syphilis, in ozaena and similar nasal conditions involving inflammation,
desquamation and possibly offensive discharges. Pains in the bones are susceptible
to Aurum above all if they are of syphilitic origin. A further indication for Aurum is
hemianopia, the patient seeing only one half of the object. It may also be indicated
in corneal ulcer. Aurum is also recommended in uterine fibroids and indurations of
other organs (such as testes) and in prostatorrhoea and problems of the inguinal
glands.
The following is a summary of the leading symptoms: - Deep emotional depression with suicidal tendency and disgust of life.
- Hypertension, surges of blood to the chest, palpitations.
- Caries of the bones.
- Hemianopia, corneal ulcer.
- Uterine fibroids, other indurations.
- Prostatorrhoea.
161
Besides metallic gold, its salts also play an important part in therapy.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aurum metallicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for aurum: mucosal suppuration; inflammation of bones and periosteum;
hypertension; angiosclerosis; angina pectoris; hardening of glandular organs; depressive
emotional discord or upset.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aurum colloidale, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
aurum colloidale: mucosal suppuration; inflammation of bones and periosteum;
angiosclerosis; angina pectoris; hardening of glandular organs; depressive emotional
discord or upset.
Aurum Iodatum – Gold Iodide
The attenuations are prepared from a mixture of Gold(I)-iodide and Gold(III)-iodide.
The content of Au, AW: 197.0, corresponds with the value given in the current
Pharmacopoeia.
Chronic inveterate syphilis. Ozaena. Lupus. Keratitis. Mastoiditis. Arteriosclerosis.
Endometritis. Ovarian cysts. Formation of fibroids. Aortic aneurysms.
Aurum Iodatum should always be used, even if only as an intercurrent remedy,
when constitutionally there appears to be syphilitic involvement in such conditions
as arteriosclerosis (e.g. in apoplexy in youth), heart conditions, angina pectoris, disturbances
in coronary circulation.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aurum iodatum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
aurum iodatum: hypertension; complaints associated with arteriosclerosis; hardening
of glandular organs.
Aurum Muriaticum Natronatum – Sodium Gold Chloride
The attenuations are prepared from Sodium tetrachloroaurate(III),
NaAuCl4 · 2 H2O, MW: 397.8.
Aurum Muriaticum Natronatum has the same indications as Aurum Metallicum.
Nash recommends Aurum Muriaticum Natronatum in periodic liver disturbances,
and jaundice, when alternating white and dark stools are present.
162
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium tetrachloroauratum,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for aurum muriaticum natronatum: inflammations and hardening of
female reproductive organs; chronic liver disorders.
Avena Sativa – Oats
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts of the flowering plant
which grows in all areas of the temperate zone. Avena sativa L. N.O. Gramineae.
Nervous exhaustion. Recommended in addictions.
Avena Sativa is generally recommended in convalescence, also in mental exhaustion
after over-exertion (of scholars and those who do brain-work) generally, as well
as after sexual excesses e.g. after masturbation in youth.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Avena sativa, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
avena sativa: conditions of exhaustion; insomnia; excessive strain following illnesses.

Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Tuberculinum BURNETT
Nosode, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for bacillinum: inflammations of the respiratory passages;
skin disorders; headaches; general weakness and debilitation.
Bacterium Coli – Coli-Bacillinum Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from a sterilized suspension in isotonic
sodium chloride solution containing 107CFU/g of Escherichia coli.
Tiredness. Easy physical and mental exhaustion. Mistakes in use of words. Loss of

Baryta Carbonica – Barium Carbonate
The attenuations are prepared from a trituration of Barium carbonate, BaCO3,
MW: 197.3.
Baryta Carbonica is suited to tearful, anxious patients who shun the company of
others.
Numerous symptoms point to Baryta Carbonica, such as: weakness and slowness
of mental activity. Old people are no longer able, or no longer have the initiative, to
run their home or hold down an occupation.
The picture of arteriosclerosis and of the lymphatic child hints at Baryta Carb., as
does blepharitis in “glandular” children with a great sensitivity to cold and a tendency
to recurrent sore throats with frequent and considerable enlargement of the tonsils.
The skin is dry “like parchment”, hot, tending to fissures, and peeling off easily on
the backs of the hands and on the fingertips. Pustular acne in puberty, rhagades at the
corners of the mouth. Pruritus, aggravated at night.
There is a typical salivation at night, wetting the pillow.
Nosebleeds on blowing the nose are typical.
Ringing and whizzing sounds in the ears with hearing impairment and inflammation
of the external auditory canal.
As is the case with all carbonates (salts of carbonic acid), physical weakness, lassitude,
tiredness of the limbs and a tendency for them to “go to sleep” (ciruclatory
disturbances) stand in the foreground. Gastro-intestinal symptoms too are present.
They express themselves as typhoid, gastric, bilious and enteritic fever-symptoms.
There is also halitosis.
Especially in scrofulous children, lung-symptoms almost always include those of
chronic bronchitis, with attacks of coughing morning and evening. Complaints are
brought on by thinking about one’s pains and by lying on the painful side (in
pleurisy and bronchitis), are aggravated in cold, damp weather and by weather
changes, and are ameliorated by movement in the open air, although cold air itself is
felt to be unpleasant.
168
On the basis of its symptomatology, Baryta Carbonica is equipped to deal with ailments
of children and the elderly. In the latter, there are often “geriatric coughs”,
maybe with salty-tasting, starchy expectoration, and a leading symptom: in catarrhs,
a feeling as if smoke were being inhaled.
Further indications include itching, especially at night, (calves, neck, etc.), and offensive
foot-sweat (cf. Silica). Baryta Carbonica can be of assistance in tinnitus,
with roaring, cracking, crashing and popping noises in the ears.
Baryta Carb. can bring speedy relief in diarrhoea of the elderly, in symptoms resembling
dysentery and in almost hopeless cases.
Baryta Carbonica is one of those remedies which should be given every so often
between other remedies, both in small children and in the elderly. Constitutional
use however demands dosage over a longer period of time, in such conditions as
foot-sweat (cf. Silica), chronic lymphadenitis, umbilical colic in children, tinnitus,
and also in impotence (men) and aversion to coitus (women).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Barium carbonicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette)
for barium carbonicum: slow development among children; chronic inflammation of
the tonsils and of the upper respiratory passages; hypertension; angiosclerosis.
Baryta Iodata – Barium Iodide
The attenuations are prepared from a trituration of Barium iodide, BaI2 · H2O, MW:
409.2.
Arteriosclerosis. Coronary ischaemia. Heart problems of the elderly. Scrofulous
swellings of the glands. Tendency to catch cold. Struma parenchymatosa (goitre).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Barium jodatum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
barium iodatum: abnormal enlargement and hardening of glandular organs; goiterous
disorders; hypertension and cerebral angiosclerosis.
Baryta Oxalsuccinica – Barium Oxalsuccinate
The attenuations are prepared from the Barium salt of Oxalsuccinic acid, Barium
oxalsuccinate, (C6H3O7)2 Ba3, MW: 786.1.
This compound has a particular affinity for mesenchymal structures, and improves
the function of the Citric Acid cycle and of redox systems. Indications include impreg-
169
nation phases of all kinds, dyscrasias, asthma, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis, precancerous
states and neoplasm phases. It has a regeneratory effect on cell-respiration.
Baryta Oxalsuccinica is also said to protect the blood from too high a cholesterol
content, and has a good influence on debility. It is especially indicated in puberty
and the menopause.
It works well in combination with the sarcodes: pituitary, testis, oophorinum, and
brain, and also with Hydrastis, Lachesis, Kali Carbonicum, Calcium Carbonicum,
Agaricus, Petroleum and Thuja.
Typical head-symptoms are bright red colouring (e.g. after apoplexy), vertigo on
every movement, tinnitus, swimming sensation, headache on the vertex, worse by
warmth and better in fresh air.
Chronic catarrh and bronchial asthma with dyspnoea. Lung-cancer with congestion
extending to the head. Dryness of the nasal mucosa with hard crusts.
Nasal polypi. Reduced sense of smell. In childhood often myopia. Chronic blepharitis
and stony-hard styes. Eyelids thickly agglutinated. Squinting. Paralysis of
the eye-muscles. Hardness of hearing with tinnitus. Hard wax in the ears. To be
thought of in all ear-ailments of childhood.
Children are very clumsy and show insufficient co-ordination of individual movements.
“Podgy” school children show defective intelligence. Older patients fall prey
to religious fanaticism.
There is chronic over-loading of the digestive organs, since Baryta Oxalsuccinica
patients are mostly good trenchermen. When renal colics occur, they can quickly
subside after a dose of Baryta Oxalsuccinica. Good results have also been observed
in cancer of the prostate, cancer of the bladder, kidney diseases and uraemia with
headaches and vomiting.
Foul-smelling leucorrhoea. In male puberty there may be feminisation, with appearance
of female secondary sexual characteristics (breasts) and fat-deposits
around the hips and thighs in children with retarded mental development.
Circulatory disturbances of the extremities with bluish-red patches and burning
pains. Chilblains. Oozing eczema with cracked skin and nodules exuding pus. Acne
vulgaris and rosacea. Rhagades and fissures. White marks on the fingernails.
This remedy should also be tried in psoriasis with itching, painful patches the size
of the palm of a hand; also in fractures slow to unite, and protruding front teeth.
The drug picture of Barium oxalsuccinicum was composed in August 1996 by
David Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Basilicum – Basil
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh herb, gathered before flowering.
Ocimum basilicum L. N.O. Labiatae.
May be tried in non-specific urethritis and catarrhs of the mucosa.
Belladonna – Deadly Nightshade
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant, gathered at the end of
flowering. Atropa belladonna L. N.O. Solanceae.
When potentised, the Belladonna tincture made from Deadly Nightshade is one of
the most effective polychrests. There is scarcely another plant which has undergone
such thorough pharmacological investigation as has Belladonna in respect to its active
components (Belladonna alkaloids).
Besides its effect on the excretory processes, particularly the excretion of urine
and of carbonic acid via respiration, the action on bile-excretion was especially
noted; this is increased by Belladonna.
172
But it is only the homoeopathic provings which resulted in the comprehensive
tracery of symptoms which characterise Belladonna as one of the greatest polychrests
in homoeopathy.
Belladonna’s typical complaints are aggravated principally in the afternoon and
evening, also by touch and jarring, with a general hypersensitivity to cold air, whilst
the nerve pains are generally worse for cold. Also typical is the sudden onset of all
complaints. It can also happen that the complaints are further intensified and (particularly
in nerve pains) then suddenly cease, only to reappear in another place.
Violent delirium is characteristic of Belladonna, above all in fever; the patient
may also see ghosts or have hallucinations of horrible faces, animals and insects,
linked with anxiety in otherwise apparently healthy patients, particularly in children,
who may previously have been treated with Atropine eye-drops. Such a case
was observed by Dr. Hille of Reutlingen, and was cured very quickly with injections
of Belladonna (see “Homotoxin-Journal” 9, 35, Vol. 2, 1970). Agitating, anxious
dreams also frequently occur, with starting-up in sleep, accompanied by a typical excessive
flow of blood to the head. This is a further characteristic symptom of Belladonna,
the head being hot whilst the extremities are cold. Similar conditions occur
in Chamomilla which, according to Nash, like Belladonna is one of the best remedies
for children’s ailments.
Frequently there are headaches, linked with vertigo and possibly swimming in the
head and great somnolence. Likewise typical of Belladonna is a strong pulsation in
the carotid and temporal arteries, (cf. Glonoin), especially when lying, with the increased
pressure of blood to the head, as already mentioned. The whole head may be
red, or take on a purplish colour, with possible apoplexy and all head-complaints aggravated
on lying down.
Belladonna’s typical action on the eyes is also well-known. It is also characterised
by special symptoms, known from Atropine poisoning. There are cramps in the muscles
of the eyes and eyelids, enlargement of the pupils and, in particular, an inflammatory
or irritative condition of the conjunctiva with great photophobia, lachrymation
and pain, linked with engorgement of the inner blood-vessels, weakness of vision,
dimness of vision, and disturbances of vision including sparks, fire, fog and
diplopia, all pointing to the retina being affected. There is also a typical right-sided
ciliary neuralgia (cf. Kalmia, Sanguinaria, Chelidonium and others).
Apart from this, specific action belongs to Belladonna in all localised inflammations,
in the first stage where no suppuration has taken place. Thus Belladonna is indicated
in incipient boils, in tonsillitis, and also in surface-inflammations such as
erysipelas, conjunctivitis, and scarlet fever, and additionally in otitis, cholangitis,
meningitis and other inflammatory affections.
A delirious state occurs particularly with a violent rise in temperature (as in Stramonium,
Hyoscyamus and Veratrum), with considerably raised sensitivity of all the
senses and a disproportionate sensitivity to touch, noises, light, cold air – especially
draughts and jarring – as can also be the case in Apis Mellifica, (e.g. in meningitis).
There is also a typical dryness in the throat, with reddened pharynx and difficulty
in swallowing, such as one finds in sore throat and pharyngitis. At the same time, the
173
Belladonna inflammation has all the general symptoms of inflammations, i.e. redness,
swelling, heat and pain, with sweat usually present also, so that, when uncovered,
the bed of a Belladonna patient will steam.
Apart from nasal catarrhs, mostly with only slight watery discharge, we also find
catarrhs of the larynx and trachea, with slight mucus, accompanied by a tickling sensation
in the larynx and a typical cough which is dry, rough and barking, with hoarseness.
Haemoptysis may occur if violent coughing bursts the typically engorged
blood-vessels. Because of the engorgement of the lung-tissue, there is air-hunger and
pressing pains on breathing, with typical aggravation in the evening and at night.
In keeping with Belladonna’s typical engorgement and swelling of mucosa, the
mucous membranes of the oral cavity and the tongue with its raised papillae are
bright red and dry withal, and there may be a catarrh of the soft palate with inflammatory
swelling, extending from the tonsils, linked with overwhelming thirst.
Usually this is accompanied by difficulty and pain in swallowing, and, on attempting
to drink, by oesophageal cramps. In the digestive organs, Belladonna affects
acute gastric catarrhs, which are linked with violent pains in the stomach and,
above all, with a sensation of heavy pressure, with the pain extending to the back.
Here one often finds vague symptoms which may be traced back to a cholangitis or
a cholecystitis and in which the whole epigastrium is involved. Belladonna is one of
the most important remedies in diseases of the gall-bladder, also in disturbances of
the bile-secretion, and especially where there are inflammatory symptoms. In addition
there are often a putrid taste, nausea, eructations, distension of the epigastrium
with retching and vomiting, and also hiccoughs.
Numerous Belladonna symptoms are localised on the right side of the body (gallbladder,
headache, tonsillitis etc.), although of course Belladonna can also be indicated
in left-sided complaints where there are the typical symptoms of dryness of the
mucosa etc.
The author was once able to cure an extreme case of exophthalmos with Belladonna.
The patient was a 40-year-old farmer’s wife from the Black Forest, whose
right eye was enormously enlarged (rather like a calf’s eye), and bulged out of the
socket with a fixed stare. The exophthalmos, which up to that point had resisted all
attempts at treatment, returned completely to normal in about two months with injections
of Belladonna three times a week, using potencies 2X, 10X and 30X.
Scarlet fever-like skin rashes are also an indication for Belladonna, usually accompanied
as they are by tonsillitis. Thus Belladonna is indicated in scarlet fever.
However, Belladonna can also have a beneficial action in inflammations generally,
e.g. in cystitis, pyelitis and other localised affections, especially so in congestive
states of the uterus with bearing-down pains (like Sepia, Lilium Tigrinum and possibly
also Nux Vomica) where frequently typical cramps and colicky symptoms are
present and, for example, the menstrual blood may be unusually offensive.
In contrast to Colocynth, Belladonna has a typical tendency to straighten up
(opisthotonos), so that Belladonna may be of use in tetanus. Stauffer mentions a case
which was cured.
174
To some extent, Belladonna may be considered the initial remedy for all reaction
phases, to be used right at the start of such acute erythemas as measles, rubella and
scarlet fever, possibly also erysipelas. It should also be used in tonsillitis, boils,
cholecystitis, gall-stone colic, cystitis – especially where there are spasmodic symptoms
- in oophoritis, endometritis, and also in coughs, hoarseness and catarrhs of the
air-passages, in acute gastritis, and particularly in inflammatory conditions of the
conjunctiva, in exophthalmos, and especially in headaches and neuralgias when
these are not ameliorated by lying down, but may get worse; or if they come on suddenly,
cease just as suddenly, and then reappear in another place.
Belladonna is such a thoroughly effective remedy in all acute symptoms of a localised
kind that one may prescribe it by way of experiment at the beginning of any
acute complaint. What frequently then happens is that another characteristic symptom-
picture develops, or, if the condition was an indication for Belladonna, the
symptoms die down rapidly.
Belladonna is frequently indicated after Aconitum, when the diffuse chill-symptoms
of Aconite with hot, dry skin have passed the critical point and now localised
symptoms such as pharyngitis, bronchitis, etc. occur.
If we summarise the symptoms of Belladonna once again, the following typical
picture of the remedy’s action emerges:
- Surge of blood to the head. Extremities cold. Head flushed, congested. Apoplexy.
Meningitis. Conjunctival infection. Conjunctivitis. Exophthalmos (right side). - Pulsation of the arteries. Palpitations, worse on lying.
- Delirium and states of confusion. Hallucinations.
- Localised inflammations in the first stage, without suppuration. Boils, tonsillitis,
erysipelas, conjunctivitis, scarlet fever, otitis, cholangitis, etc. - Pains which occur suddenly and suddenly disappear, ameliorated by stretching
the body straight (opisthotonos). May be tried in tetanus. Aggravated by cold air,
light, touch, jarring. Headache, especially right side, worse lying down, afternoon
and evening. - Bed steaming in fever. Dry mucosa. Barking cough. Bronchitis. Laryngitis.
Pharyngitis. - Haemorrhages bright red, clean, possibly with clots. Offensive menstrual blood.
Epistaxis. Apoplexy. Bleeding of the skin. - Biliary colic. Diseases of the bile ducts, with a tendency to stretch backwards (not
to double up). Cholangitis. Cholecystitis. Cholelithiasis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Atropa belladonna, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for belladonna: inflammation accompanied by high fever of the tonsils,
respiratory organs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary and reproductive organs, meninges,
skin, and joints.
175
Bellis Perennis – Daisy
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant Bellis perennis L., which
occurs frequently on meadows and lawns in Europe and Asia. N.O. Compositae.
The main indications are:
Sprains, bruises, acne vulgaris, bumps. Raw feeling in the abdomen.
Bellis Perennis bears a great similarity to Arnica. A leading symptom is: bruised
sensation in the muscles. It is said to act primarily on the left half of the body. Apart
from its use in physical over-exertion (sports-injuries), Bellis Perennis also plays a
part in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Bellis perennis, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
bellis perennis: haemorrhages; haematomas; myalgia, especially after injuries and
over-exertion; rheumatism; skin disorders, also including those with suppuration.
para-Benzochinonum – p-Benzoquinone
The attenuations are prepared from p-Benzoquinone, C6H4O2, MW: 108.1.
Has a comprehensively regenerative action on cell respiration in many cases (Citric
Acid cycle) on account of the free radicals, and also in cases of mutative damage
(genes etc.). It is indicated in all cellular phases, also leukaemia, asthma, organic
diseases of the nerves, pre-cancerous states, neoplasm phases, heptatitis and other
conditions.
From practical experience it has been seen that whilst para-Benzoquinone is admittedly
similar to Hydroquinone in its structure and action, it is however substantially
more specific and deeper-acting. The remedy-picture corresponds to that of a
cancer patient with almost hopeless cachexia and totally wrecked metabolism, failing
utterly to react to well-selected remedies.
Before para-Benzoquinone is used on cancer patients, they should first undergo
stimulation by the catalysts of the Citric Acid cycle. According to the symptoms, the
individual acids are selected and injected at short intervals in succession. Then Hydroquinone
should first be injected, about three times, and then followed by para-
Benzoquinone.
One of the most prominent symptoms of para-Benzoquinone is its great dyspnoea
and heavy burden of the heart, along with oedema in the cavities of the body and in
the extremities. There can also be unbearable headache with a flushed face and a
very strained appearance. Para-Benzoquinone should be tried even in hopeless cases,
possibly i.v. as many as 3–5 times daily. It must never be given in conjunction with
tuberculostatic substances (Voll’s testing blockade in 80%). As well as in all diseases
176
involving neoplasms, it is also indicated in all psychoses, which must possibly be interpreted
as preliminary stages or vicariations.
Likewise certain protective functions against viral infections may be achieved
with para-Benzoquinone.
In psychoses, para-Benzoquinone should be given in combination with sarcodes:
either Cerebrum or Cerebellum.
One should always think of para-Benzoquinone in almost incurable dyspnoeas, remitting
neither by day nor night, and with the possibility of transition into respiratory
paralysis (e.g. in side-effects of opiates).
Among other remedies, para-Benzoquinone is also for use in degenerative diseases
of the eyes (retina) and ears, and also in diabetes mellitus.
It is also indicated in drinkers’ tremor, with destruction of the personality and aggressive
mood; the patient becomes unapproachable and there is a danger of Korsakov’s
psychosis.
Para-benzoquinone can also help with a state of paresis occuring after poliomyelitis,
encephalitis or vaccinations. There is complete failure of the memory,
and disturbance in neuro-muscular coordination; this and conditions such as multiple
sclerosis and tumours in the spinal area with pains and paresis, as well as brain
tumours, may respond favourably to this remedy. In many cases of the highest degree
of meningeal irritation, para-Benzoquinone deals with the terrible pains better
than an opiate.
Para-benzoquinone can have action similar to Sulphur, when a well-selected remedy
does not act sufficiently, if this depends on a change in the nervous system.
Para-benzoquinone is also capable of compensating action in the critical stage of
states of shock or albumin poisoning which occur after blood transfusions or infusions
of live cells or plasma.
It is likewise indicated in patients with whom meat does not agree.
Para-benzoquinone also has wide-ranging action on the endocrine glands, e.g. in
beard-growth in girls or growth of breasts in boys. In such conditions there is often a
‘stupid’ facial expression. Unusual adiposity or extreme emaciation may also be
present.
In serious disorders of the parathyroids it can be of astonishing assistance when
combined with the Parathyroid gland sarcode. Para-benzoquinone should also be
thought of in adrenal failure and Addison’s disease, also in multiple sclerosis when
pain and spasms are pronounced, as well as in damage to the spleen with changes in
the blood-composition, and in states arising from removal of the spleen, in pancreatic
insufficiency with enzyme-disturbance and consequent respiratory problems.
In combination with Malicum Acidum, Fumaricum Acidum and Natrum Oxalaceticum
it is helpful in all serious toxic states, and in reaction phases.
A particular indication for para-Benzoquinone is, if, after using Hydroquinone, an
aggravation occurs in the patient’s whole condition.
Para-benzoquinone may well have a good effect in all illnesses which could be
connected with albumin poisoning and in which therefore auto-antigens (wild peptides)
are involved; auto-immune diseases; e.g. in primary chronic polyarthritis, en-
177
docarditis and other auto-immune diseases, also after blood-transfusions and in intractable
children. In such conditions, the longer the irregularity has existed, the
higher the potency which should be used, whereas in acute and dramatic illness the
lower potencies are preferable.
The most important indication for para-Benzoquinone are cancers, especially
those of the lower sections of the intestines, in which there is a distinct aggravation
from eating meat and eggs.
It may be expedient to use Para-benzoquinone in combination with Anthraquinone
or Hydroquinone. Such patients are mostly out of sorts, irritated and can never
laugh. The impression they make is one of unutterable suffering. Their stools, almost
always dry, can suddenly alternate with watery diarrhoea, with agonising pains in
the whole abdomen, rectal paralysis and inability to hold the stool.
Para-benzoquinone can also be effective in summer diarrhoea, especially when
travelling or from change of diet (eating meat).
It is also indicated in chronic pyelitis, incontinence of urine, papilloma of the
bladder and condylomata on the penis, which are often hard and strongly pigmented.
Through the whole picture of Para-benzoquinone there runs degeneration of a
wide variety of tissues, underdevelopment of retarded children, tumour-formation
and faulty hormone-function (pituitary or adrenals), putrid secretions (e.g. from the
mammary gland or from weeping eczemas on the genitalia), which are scarcely prevented
by washing. Consequences of hereditary syphilis may be present, as may be
stubborn eczema with lichenification of the whole skin, with a preference for the
arms, legs, neck area and face, as is often found in the terminal stage after the usual
external therapy or after withdrawal of treatment with cortico-steroids.
With all this it is essential first to cleanse the body of its whole homotoxic state,
using nosodes and especially remedies which stimulate elimination, otherwise the
homotoxic material which is set in motion by the Para-benzoquinone may give rise
to considerable extension of reaction phases, e.g. to abscess-formation which, under
the circumstances, must be seen as a biologically favourable channel of elimination.
Para-benzoquinone is also called for in certain degenerative changes in the skeletal
system, such as joint problems after taking cortisone, osteomyelitis, rachitic
changes, Scheuermann’s disease and scoliosis in early youth, the children being able
neither to sit straight nor to stand. The deposits typical of this remedy are also seen
on the teeth. They crumble in large fragments, painlessly, with brown patches and
exposed necks.
Para-benzoquinone combines numerous groups of symptoms of a degenerative
kind which are found in the symptom-pictures of Arsenicum, Sulphur, Phosphorus
and Mercury compounds, and particularly in the nosodes (Psorinum, Medorrhinum,
Tuberculinum etc.), Therefore it is expedient to give it in combination with whichever
of the other remedies is also indicated, especially with the corresponding nosodes
and sarcodes of the tissues or organs in question, but for expediency in parenteral
treatment it should always be given singly, with the other remedies being given
alongside it.
178
The characteristic situation requiring Para-benzoquinone could be described thus:
the patient, his resistance and ability to oxidise at a low level, is threatening to choke
in his own intermediate homotoxins. Only a superficial, small part of the serious inner
toxic state is being dealt with by the existing discharges and inflammations – just sufficient
for life to limp along, but not enough for a full clear-out of the whole toxic condition
to take place with a positive, complete regressive vicariation into a reaction
phase. In such a situation, Para-benzoquinone can tip the balance. The author experienced
such a “miraculous healing” in 1979, in a dying 84-year-old patient.
Benzoicum Acidum e resina – Resin Benzoin
The attenuations are prepared from Benzoic acid (C7H6O2, MW: 122.1), sublimated
from Siam benzoin.
The guiding symptoms and principal indications are: Urine smells like that of a
horse. Uric-acid diathesis. Hypertrophy of the prostate gland. Inflammation of the
urinary tract. Gout. Rheumatism. In pneumonia, a high degree of dyspnoea. Ganglion
of the wrist.
In the provings, a characteristic symptom was the progression from above downwards,
and from the right side to the left.
In rheumatism the pains frequently shift from place to place and occur mostly periodically
and when at rest.
As in Nux Vomica, the sleep is disturbed between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m., mainly on
account of fear, restlessness and palpitations.
Red patches occur on the facial skin, with sensations of heat, itching and stinging.
The stabbing, itching sensation may also occur in the ears, with possible swelling
behind the ears and illusions of hearing sounds.
Inflammatory symptoms may occur throughout the alimentary canal: a slimy coating
on the tongue, on which ulcers form at the edges, stomatitis with difficulty in
swallowing and a bitter taste, eructations, retching and vomiting, and problems of
flatulent distension below the ribs on both sides. The stools are copious, loose and
white in colour, with violent tenesmus and mixed with blood; there are stabbing
pains in the rectum, rigors and a feeling of being seriously ill.
There may be renal colic with mucus in the bladder and a muco-purulent discharge,
difficult urination, and tenesmus, in which case the very hot, dark-coloured,
red or brown urine, with the typical smell of horse’s urine, will serve as a guiding
symptom. In the male genitalia there may be balanitis.
Further characteristic symptoms are: general muscular pains, pains in the limbs,
painful drawing along the nerves, and rheumatic complaints which occur particularly
in the shoulders, in the joints of hands and fingers, hips, knees and toes.
The use of Benzoic Acid can bring about a very rapid remission in all these complaints,
including the state of the urine.
179
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum benzoicum e resina,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for acidum benzoicum: rheumatic, gout-related, and degenerative disorders
of the joints; ganglia; disorders of the urinary tract.
Berberis – Barberry
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried bark of Berberis vulgaris L. N.O.
Berberidaceae.
The active ingredients of the mother tincture are the alkaloids berberine, oxyacanthine
and berbamine.
Some characteristic indications for Berberis are irritations and inflammations of
the urinary system; also pronounced renal pains, extending in all directions, especially
down the ureters, tearing, stabbing, burning or cutting pains, possibly proceeding
to the point of bladder-pain and tenesmus, even extending down the urethra
and into the testicles, states which are frequently found in renal colic and urinary
gravel. Thus Berberis is one of the main remedies against renal calculi, and has
proved its worth generally in other conditions of the urinary tract, e.g. in cystitis and
pyelitis, although other remedies are also indicated for this.
Even without colic or other pains, it may have a stiffness and feeling of numbness
in the renal area, possibly in the whole back, linked with great weakness.
Weakness and exhaustion, in particular, are further symptoms of Berberis, possibly
linked with a battered feeling and prostration as well as a stiffness of the limbs
and lameness.
Sweats may be present, with the impression that these sweats occur especially
when one is weak and mentally exhausted, and on every exertion. There is a familiar
vicariation of symptoms between skin and kidney. In lowered kidney function there
is a vicariating dermal secretion.
The general reluctance to work, exhaustion and weakness are accompanied by an apathetic,
tearful and despondent mood, along with mental fatigue with swimming head,
deep contemplation, inability to think, possibly to the point of incapacity to work.
Years of observation have convinced the author that Berberis has a pronounced action
not only on the renal system, but also on the adrenal glands. The blue rings
which occur below the eyes in states of exhaustion are likewise helped by Berberis,
as are other symptoms of a depressed functioning of the adrenal cortex, which express
themselves in a gouty, rheumatic state, linked with pains in the joints, prostration
and heaviness of the limbs, drawing and tightness in the muscles, and also skin
symptoms, which may express themselves in a flushed face with red, burning patches
and eruption of itching red nodules, vesicles and pimples, with subsequent
desquamation.
180
Liver and bile symptoms also belong to Berberis. Thus it is indicated in cholangitis
with pains in the right hypochondrium and pressure below the right ribs, and
possibly also on the left side in the lineal flexure; also bitter eructations with flatulent
distension and possibly icterus.
Occasionally there is a painful blister on the tip of the tongue. In the stomach there
can be a sensation of coldness with pressure and eructations. Chronic digestive disturbances
with a tendency to diarrhoea will also be helped by Berberis, if the general
symptom-picture agrees. The urine frequently tends to be dark red, murky and of
a thick, slimy consistency.
In women there may also be leucorrhoea with dysmenorrhoea and venous stasis in
the pelvis and lower abdomen, possibly also with endometritis and oophoritis.
There may also be haemorrhoids with itching and burning in the anus and the raw
feeling so typical of Berberis, and with pulsating stabbing in the sacrum, as well as
anal fissures.
Although extracts of Berberis are generally considered to be non-toxic, it was
possible to demonstrate a toxic action in experiments with Berberine (C20H17NO4),
also known as Jamaicin or Xanthopicrite. Doses of one to three grammes were injected
intravenously into dogs and rabbits, and the effects included salivation, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhoea, difficulty in respiration, trembling and finally fatal paralysis.
On internal administration, diarrhoea has been observed.
On summing up the main symptoms of Berberis, we have the following typical
remedy-picture: - Pains from renal calculi, especially renal colic; also other diseases of the genitourinary
system, cystitis with pyelitis, urinary tenesmus with cloudy, mealy, red or
flaky urine. - Liver-affections, cholangitis, cholecystitis, gallstone colic, icterus.
- Haemorrhoids with itching and burning in the anus and hard, bloody stool; tenesmus
and pulsating stabbing in the sacrum. - Diarrhoea, gastritis with pressure in the stomach. Blisters on the tip of the tongue.
Pre-cancerous states. - Adrenal exhaustion. Stress. General exhaustion and depressive mood. Blue rings
around and below the eyes. - Gouty, rheumatic illnesses as an expression of deficient renal secretion and lowered
adrenal function. (Direction of connective tissue function.) Linked with this: - Skin problems with itching vesicles, pustules etc.
- Neuropathic condition. Mental fatigue. Inability to think. Exhaustion with lameness
and stiffness in all joints.
Berberis is always indicated when there is general homotoxic over-loading which
makes itself known through overloading of the excretory organs, such as kidneys
and liver, possibly also skin, and which can lead to the most varied symptoms
through homotoxins linked with deposition phases. Here it is possible for reverse action
on the mesenchyme and the autonomic nervous system to take place because of
the toxic weakness of the adrenal function.
181
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Berberis vulgaris, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
berberis vulgaris: renal and urinary-tract disorders, especially nephrolithiasis; gout;
rheumatism; disorders of the liver and gallbladder; dry skin disorders; fistulas.
Berberis Aquifolium – Oregon Grape
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried bark and small twigs of the plant
Mahonia aquifolium [Pursh.] Nutt, a native of North America, often cultivated in
Europe as a decorative shrub. N.O. Berberidaceae.
Psoriasis, pityriasis eczema.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Mahonia aquifolium, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for berberis aquifolium: dry rashes; liver and gallbladder affections.
Beta Vulgaris Rubra – Beetroot
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh beetroot, Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris
var. conditiva Alef. N.O. Chenopodiaceae.
Beta vulg. rubra, according to Seeger, is one of those substances which reactivate
the cell-respiration and can regenerate blocked respiratory enzymes, and is therefore
indicated in all cellular phases (impregnation, degeneration and neoplasm), and also
in viral diseases, viral influenza, poliomyelitis, etc.
Betonica – Betony
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh, flowering herb Stachys officinalis
[L.] Trev. N.O. Labiatae.
Besides a beneficial effect on catarrhal colds, Betonica has also helped in pains in
a variety of parts of the body, such as: stabbing pains in the right temple with inability
to concentrate, pains in the abdomen, especially in the liver area and transverse
colon, also extending to the gall-bladder, in the right groin and the spermatic cords.
There is a typical shooting pain in the back of both wrists, with flaccidity of the
hand. The remedy is also good in pains in the right popliteal space, extending down
the leg with a lame sensation in the whole leg.
182
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Stachys officinalis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for betonica: epigastric pain.
Betula Alba – Birch
The mother tincture is prepared from the sap, obtained by boring into the trunks of
sturdy young birch trees in spring. Betula pendula Roth. N.O. Betulaceae.
Gastritis. General catarrhs of the mucosa.
Bismutum Kali Iodatum – Bismuth Potassium Iodide
The attenuations are prepared from Potassium Bismuth iodide solution, K[BiI4],
MW: 755.7.
Bismuth Potassium Iodide, as a double salt, contains important therapeutic factors
which can reinforce and extend the action of indicated remedies in consequences of
syphilis, particularly disorders in the area of nervous functions, in the syphilitic constitution,
and also in the early stages of organic brain disease with suspicious symptoms
of delusions of grandeur and syndromes resembling paralysis. Such combination-
remedies are of great therapeutic significance in the treatment of cellular phases
and degenerative symptoms, and also in long-term treatment of neoplasm phases,
even if generally some time is required before the action becomes clear. However, in
contrast to this, positive action may be expected possibly after only a few days when
treating fresh bouts of schizophrenia.
Bismutum Subnitricum – Basic Bismuth Nitrate
The attenuations are prepared from basic Bismuth nitrate, whose approximate
composition is BiO(NO3) · H2O. The content of Bi, AW: 209.0, calculated on the
dried substance corresponds with the current Pharmacopoeia.
Sensation as of a heavy load in the stomach, burning, cramps with pressure towards
the spine. Must bend over backwards. Vomiting immediately after eating.
Gastralgia. Cholera infantum. Gastric and duodenal ulcers, cancer of the stomach.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Bismutum subnitricum, pub-
183
lished the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for bismutum subnitricum: ulcerous inflammations of the oral cavity and
of the gums; organic and nervous gastric disorders; acute diarrhoea.
Blatta Orientalis – Indian Cockroach
The attenuations are prepared from the triturated whole cockroach, an insect occurring
in the whole of Europe and North Africa. Blatta orientalis L. N.O. Blattidae.
The active ingredients of the cockroach were formerly known as Antihydropin. At
that time a precise pharmacological and chemical analysis was not yet possible, but
for generations it had been used in Russia as a folk-remedy for dropsy. In homoeopathic
potency it has given good service in bronchial asthma.
According to Dr. Ray (Calcutta) it has a specific action on the vagus nerve, like
other well-known asthma-remedies (Ipecacuanha, Cuprum Aceticum, Lobelia), by
dissolving mucus and reducing attacks.
Blatta is said to be more suited to corpulent patients, and in cases which are aggravated
in bad, rainy weather. In acute asthmatic attacks the lower potencies are to
be preferred, and in chronic cases rather the higher ones.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Blatta orientalis, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
blatta orientalis: bronchitis; asthma.
Borax – Sodium Borate
The attenuations are prepared from triturated Disodium tetraborate,
Na2B4O7 · 10 H2O, MW: 381.4.
Vertigo on downward motion. Aphthous stomatitis. Chronic otitis externa. Summer
diarrhoea of infants. Psoriasis. Every injury festers.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium tetraboracicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for borax: disorders of the oral mucosa; skin affections; acne vulgaris;
eczema and psoriasis; nephrolithiasis; abnormal discharge; galactorrhoea; painful
mammary glands; nervous hypersensitivity among children; vertigo upon rising.
184
Bothrops Lanceolatus – Fer-de-Lance
The attenuations are prepared from the careful dried venom of the Fer-de-Lance
(Yellow Viper), Bothrops jajaraca (Wied). N.O. Crotalidae.
The prominent symptom of Bothrops lanceolatus is aphasia, such as is always
found in cerebral apoplexy. However, haemorrhages of every kind are also an indication
for Bothrops, especially those from orifices of the body, e. g. difficulty in articulation
without any tongue-complaint and without preceding apoplexy.
Further symptoms include amaurosis and retinal haemorrhage, day-blindness and
subconjunctival haemorrhage. The face is swollen and puffy, with a ‘foolish’ expression
and possibly nervous trembling.
The neck feels bound up, with difficulty in swallowing, especially when drinking.
Gastric haemorrhage and haematemesis.
Bloody stools. The skin too is swollen, livid and cold with haemorrhagic infiltrations
and possible gangrene, swollen lymph-glands and possibly malignant
erysipelas.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Bothrops jararaca, Lachesis
lanceolatus, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger
(German Federal Gazette) for bothrops lanceolatus: haemorrhages; blood coagulation
disorders; vascular disorders; general blood poisoning.
Bovista – Warted Puff-ball
The attenuations are prepared from the dried ripe fungus Calvatia gigantea without
its peridia, which grows in Central Europe in pastures and dry meadows everywhere.
N.O. Lycoperdaceae.
Speech disturbances. Uses wrong words and misunderstands. Otitis externa with
offensive discharge. Menorrhagia. Menses come too early. Moist eczema on the
back of hand.
There is one modality which may lead us to this remedy: if toothache is ameliorated
in fresh air.
Otherwise, there is violent itching over the whole body, especially of the scalp,
aggravated in the evening. We may also see eruptions of small white or red papules,
blisters, nodules or pustules which ooze or form scales, dry out like bran or become
purulent. Intertrigo in the inguinal region. Superficial ulcers form in the nostrils and
corners of the mouth.
Bovista has also done good service in metrorrhagia (like Ipecacuanha), and in
scrofulous patients with herpetic eruptions, in long drawn-out eye and ear inflammations,
and in protracted colds with ulcerated nose and lips.
185
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calvatia gigantea, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
bovista: tendency to haemorrhage, such as from the nose; uterine bleeding; cardiac
circulatory insufficiency with hyperemia; anoxemia; rashes; gastric pain; diarrhoea.
Bronchus Suis – Bronchial Tube
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh bronchi of a healthy
pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
Emphysema. Bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis. Congestions of capillary circulation.
The Bronchus sarcode should also be used concurrently in treatment of chronic
catarrh of smokers, in order to adjust the body’s defences against the damage caused
by the carcinogen benzopyrine, contained in tobacco smoke. This assumes a precancerous
state, which is generally asymptomatic.
Where tumour-formation has taken place, the simple sarcode may still develop a
certain stimulant action, but in such cases the nosodes are better-indicated (q.v.).
Brucella Abortus Bang
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the Brucella abortus Bangserum.
Frequent miscarriage. Dysmenorrhoea. Psychoses linked with pregnancy. Should
also be tried in illness from the Bang germ. Any complaint arising after inoculation.
Bryonia – White Bryony
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh root of Bryoina cretica (sub-species
dioica [Jacq.] Tutin.), gathered before flowering. N.O. Cucurbitaceae.
According to the doctrine of signatures, through its outward form, Bryonia alba
points to its symptomatology. Just like the Bryonia patient, the fine, tender creeping
tendrils are extraordinarily sensitive to touch and motion. If they are loosened from
their support, the whole plant withers rapidly. The mighty root, which can weigh up
to 3 kg., indicates an affinity with the body’s water-metabolism, and hints at the
186
great thirst (for beer) which is typical of Bryonia. (Sometimes known as “bovine
thirst”: could drink a bucketful of water or beer.) This can only rank with the insatiable
thirst of Curare. Bryonia is also an important remedy in renal calculi,
pyelonephritis and other such conditions. The creeping tendrils and leaves of Bryonia
bear a strong resemblance to the hop plant. This may also hint at the remedy’s
typical thirst for beer.
Larger doses of Bryonia cause abdominal pains, copious watery diarrhoea and
even vomiting. Experimental high doses of Bryonia have resulted in inflammations
of the stomach with blackish markings of the mucosa, and colitis.
The main action of Bryonia, as revealed in the provings, is on skin, mucosa and
especially on the serous membranes.
There is a typical aggravation of complaints by motion in general, and also by
light touch (similar to Apis Mellifica) and in fresh air, whilst amelioration occurs
from rest, from firm pressure on the painful place and from staying in a warm room.
The opposite is the case with the cough, which is worse on entering a warm room.
The amelioration from firm pressure may be the dominant modality (e.g. in renal
colic), where there may be an urge to move and relief may be experienced on motion.
The mood is irritable, bad-tempered, anxious, irascible and possibly also tearful.
The Bryonia patient can also be quarrelsome. Sleep is frequently restless with starting,
and with vexatious and delirious dreams. The skin is often jaundiced, (Bryonia
is an important liver-remedy). However, there may also be itching and eruption of
small nodules and vesicles, linked with sloughing of the epidermis and rawness in
the creases.
Bryonia also has a typical painfulness of the mandibular joints, and also an acute
inflammation of the temporo-mandibular joint.
Bryonia has a particularly characteristic headache, a bursting pain, possibly with
pressing pains in the forehead, a feeling of heaviness and pulsating thrusts in the
temples. There may also be stabbing and drawing over the whole skull, possibly
combined with vertigo and a tendency to fall backwards, and a general feeling of
weakness, which is most marked early in the morning.
As in Belladonna there may also be catarrhal conjunctivitis with mucopurulent
discharge.
Further characteristic symptoms of Bryonia include acute rheumatic-inflammatory
illness, e.g. rheumatic pains in the elbow and wrist joints, but also in the intercostal
muscles, pains in the sacrum and loins, arthritis of the knee joint, inflammatory
pains in the ankle and toe joints, but with involvement of the synovial membrane
and fibrous tissue as well as the musculature.
Thus Bryonia becomes one of the most important remedies in acute polyarthritis
and acute muscular rheumatism, particularly when ameliorated by pressure and,
when suitable, by strong massage, whilst in polyarthritis extreme rest and complete
avoidance of any movement gives comfort. These conflicting and apparently mutually
exclusive symptoms of Bryonia’s are typical of joint and muscle illnesses, in
that at one time rest ameliorates and at another relief is gained from strong pressure
and lying on the affected side.
187
The catarrhal symptoms of the mucosa especially typical of Bryonia: catarrhs of
the larynx, of the trachea with hoarseness, accumulation of tough mucus with desire
to cough which, as already mentioned, occurs especially on entering a warm room.
Then the expectoration loosens with difficulty and a dry cough follows. Along with
this we find constriction of the chest, and also stabbing pains there, which only
occur in deep inspiration. These are common symptoms in pleurisy, for which Bryonia
is an important remedy, also when accompanied by pneumonia.
As with Belladonna, the tonsils may also be red and inflamed, and the swallowing
may be difficult on account of stomatitis and tonsillitis.
In all the inflammatory illnesses which require Bryonia there is commonly a bad,
insipid or bitter taste with lack of appetite and particularly an inordinate thirst day
and night; however after drinking there is discomfort and nausea, and after eating
there is a sensation of pressure in the stomach with possible vomiting of the contents.
The tongue is mostly coated brown. In the epigastrium and hypochondria on both
sides, there is a sensation of pressure and painful tension. Constipation may alternate
with diarrhoea, or there may be soft loose stools with cutting abdominal pains. The
typical Bryonia stool has a “burnt” appearance and is dry.
Bryonia is one of the most important remedies in appendicitis. However, it is important
here to avoid giving oral doses of Bryonia in low potency, since then occasionally,
unnoticed, a crisis can follow with perforation of the appendix and possible
dangerous consequences. The author has observed in many cases that, e.g. after copious
ingestion of sutoxins (cold meat platter, fresh liver-sausage, pork knuckle,
smoked rib of pork and the like) first irritation of the gall-bladder occurred, which
quickly died down in response to doses of Belladonna and Chelidonium or suitable
antihomotoxic/biotherapeutic combination-remedies, followed by constipation and
the typical Bryonia tongue and other symptoms (e.g. thirst, desire for rest, etc.).
If Bryonia 4x is now given in frequent doses, there is the danger that a latent and
so far asymptomatic appendicitis will develop, becoming acute without warning and
will be followed by peritonitis. Therefore never give Bryonia in low potency in such
conditions or if acute appendicitis is suspected, but use higher potencies (30X or
higher), and under these the appendicitis will die down, observation being maintained.
However, chronic appendicitis reacts well to low potencies of Bryonia.
Bryonia can also be very useful in chronic gastritis, should other remedies such as
Pulsatilla, Arsenicum Album, Argentum Nitricum, Oxalis Acetosella etc. fail. The
author once saw a serious case of chronic gastritis (without ulceration) with tongue
coated brown, clear up quickly under Bryonia, after having shown a certain improvement
under Antimonium Crudum. The patient was a 30-year-old galvanising
worker who was constantly working with cyanides and had been suffering from this
chronic gastritis for many years.
The characteristic stabbing pains of Bryonia only occur on motion, in contrast to
Colocynthis, in which remedy the stabbing pains can come on without any particular
cause; this also happens in Kalium Carbonicum (stabbing in the chest on the right
side).
188
Bryonia is also a remedy for typhoid fevers, the tongue being mostly coated
brown, and sensory disturbances and delirium often occurring, as e.g. in meningitis,
when the lower jaw is constantly in motion, as if chewing. (Also a Bryonia symptom).
Dehydration and dryness of the mucosa are typical Bryonia, and we see them in
the lungs and bronchi, combined with the typical Bryonia thirst, in a hard, dry cough
with stabbing, rawness and pain. After Bryonia has been given this cough loosens
more easily, with expectoration. A typical Bryonia symptom, by the way, is that on
coughing the patient holds his head and chest firmly, because this gives relief. With
the Bryonia headache it is similar: pressure e.g. on the occiput, where the nerves
leave the skull, provides relief.
Bryonia may also be indicated for the consequences of over-heating in summer,
e.g. in cases of diarrhoea, which may precede a dehydration of the mucosa.
Bryonia is also indicated in vicarious epistaxis (instead of menses) and in dryingup
of the milk in nursing mothers with possible consequent mastitis. In such cases it
is best combined in injection with Hepar Sulphuris and Mercurius Solubilis.
Summing up the main symptoms of Bryonia, we have the following essential picture
of the remedy, which marks out Bryonia as a great and often-needed polychrest: - Complaints aggravated by motion, after eating, by vexation; and ameliorated by
rest and pressure, also by lying on the affected side. Easily angered. (Anacardium
swears.) - Stabbing pains, worse from motion, better from rest. Bursting and stabbing
headaches. Trigeminal neuralgia (right side). Acute pleurisy. Intercostal neuralgia.
(Also Ranunculus Bulbosus.) - Acute and chronic rheumatic polyarthritis. Acute pleurisy with stabbing pains on
coughing. Peritonitis. Acute appendicitis (high potencies!); also chronic. Mastitis.
Muscular rheumatism. - Typhoid fevers with sensory disturbances. Meningitis with constant chewing motion
of lower jaw. - Thirst for large quantities of beer (typical in fever etc.). “Bovine” thirst, renal obstruction
in nephrolithiasis, better under pressure. Pyelitis. Renal colic. - Dry cough with stitching pains in the pleura, especially on entering a warm room,
better out of doors. On coughing holds head and chest with the hands. Generally,
acute catarrhal colds, also stomatitis and tonsillitis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Bryonia cretica, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
bryonia (alba): acute inflammation of the respiratory organs, pleura, peritoneum,
and liver; acute and chronic rheumatism.
189
Bucco – Buchu Leaves
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried leaves of Barosma betulina
(Bergius) Bartl. et Wendl. and Barosma crenulata [L.] Hook. N.O. Rutaceae.
Buchu contains the volatile oil Hesperdidin, the glycoside Barosmin and resins,
and is an anti-inflammatory, mild diuretic with a special affinity for inflammations
of the urinary tract.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Barosma, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
bucco: disorders of the urinary tract.
Bufo – Toad
The attenuations are prepared from the dried poisonous secretion of the cutaneous
glands of the common toad, Bufo bufo L. N.O. Bufonidae.
The main therapeutic indications are:
Shamelessness. Childish, foolish behaviour. Purulent blisters (Pemphigus) on the
skin and mucosa.
A sheep, a cat and a dog which were injected with Bufo, died in a few minutes
with violent cramps, torpor and convulsions alternating. Death occurred suddenly.
In humans, toad poison is said to induce a kind of imbecility (Heinigke), in which
all moral stability is lost, the patient tends toward masturbation, and epileptiform attacks
occur. Before these symptoms appear, a peculiar state of agitation is noticed.
The patient speaks disconnected words, and is very sensitive when he is not understood.
Deep sleep after the convulsions. A further consequence is said to be impotence.
American Indian squaws administer the poison to their husbands in food and
drink, in order not to be molested by them.
Offensive perspiration and discharges are typical of Bufo, and they are noticeable
particularly in inflammations.
Bufo patients tend to angry outbursts, during which they bite things. Music is intolerable
to them. The patient cannot bear the sight of shining objects.
There is burning in the lungs and palpations. A sensation as if the heart were too
big; it feels as if tied up. (cf. Cactus). Complaints appear particularly at the menses,
likewise epileptiform attacks, sexual excitement, burning in the womb and in the
ovaries.
Pemphigus appears especially on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Paronychia, with pains which move up the arm.
Aggravation in a warm room, on waking (cf. Lachesis). Amelioration after bathing
or in cool air.
190
Bufo is particularly indicated if the states occur in conjunction with sexual excitement,
during the menses, after masturbation and in feeble-minded children.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Bufo bufo, Bufo, Bufo rana,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for bufo: spasmodic conditions and cerebral seizure disorders; glandular
and dermal inflammations accompanied by a tendency toward suppuration; nervous
cardiac complaints.
Bursa Pastoris – Shepherd’s Purse (Thlaspi Bursa Pastoris)
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts of the flowering plant,
Capsella bursa-pastoris [L.] Medik. N.O. Cruciferae.
The main indications are:
Haemorrhages. Metrorrhagia. Menorrhagia. Haematuria.
In the first world war, when extracts of Bursa Pastoris were introduced for haemostatic
purposes because of a shortage of Secale, a noticeable agreement emerged as
to the action of both substances.
Admittedly the provings provide other kinds of symptoms, such as restless sleep
with frequent waking and confused, unpleasant dreams, vertigo, as if intoxicated,
worse on rising from crouching, pressing frontal headache, worse towards evening,
sensation as of dust in the eyes in the morning, buzzing noise in the ear after exertion
as if an insect had got into it, hearing impairment and pains in the ears, scurfy
eruption behind the ears, epistaxis, etc. However, in practice the remedy is used almost
exclusively in abnormal bleeding, uterine fibroids, leucorrhoea with great
weakness, haematuria, bloody diarrhoea, haemorrhoidal bleeding, chronic cystitis,
sand in the urine and kidney stones, and in gouty diathesis.
In one case of haemorrhage from mammary tumours, all other haemostatic measures
having failed, it was finally Bursa Pastoris in daily injections – later every other
day – which stopped the flow. The carcinoma itself was gradually re-absorbed – admittedly
not completely at the time of writing – with alternating injections of Bursa
Pastoris and Asterias Rubens.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Capsella bursa pastoris, Thlaspi
bursa pastoris, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger
(German Federal Gazette) for bursa pastoris: lithiasis; uterine haemorrhages; mucosal
haemorrhages.
191
Cactus Grandiflorus – Night-blooming Cereus
The mother tincture is prepared from the youngest stems and flowers, from the
plant Selenicereus grandiflorus [L.] Britt. et Rose, which grows wild in Central
America but is often grown as a pot-plant on account of its beautiful flowers which
only open for a few hours of one night. N.O. Cactaceae.
Selenicereus grandiflorus is a large-flowered high-standing cactus, sometimes
called “Queen of the Night”. It contains a few resins, but no alkaloids or glycosides,
and is considered non-toxic.
One important symptom dominates the whole remedy, namely the sensation of
being tightly bound or squeezed together, or of being constricted by an iron band,
not only the heart, but also head, gullet, diaphragm, neck of the bladder, uterus or
rectum. However, in general heart symptoms predominate, with a tendency to weakness
of the heart and general violent disturbances in circulation, with aggravation
from lying on the left side when violent palpitations usually occur.
Haemorrhages, which are associated with heart diseases, are also usually helped
by Cactus.
Cactus also helps in conditions such as emphysema with constriction of the chest
or difficult respiration, as if the chest could not be expanded; it also helps in periodic
suffocative attacks which may proceed to the point of fainting and cold sweat on
the face, or even a complete lack of pulse.
Cactus also has a beneficial effect in that symptom so often noticed in angina pectoris:
a sensation of numbness in the left arm.
Other symptoms of Cactus should also be mentioned, which however may be considered
as of secondary importance, unless they accompany the characteristic heart
complaints, e.g. painful menstruation with copious “tarry” menstrual blood, accompanied
by pains in the mammary gland, pulsating, drawing pains in the uterus and
ovaries, extending up as far as the stomach or down into the thighs, also involuntary
urination during sleep and frequent urge to urinate, periodic dimness of vision, congestion
of blood in the brain, and possible haemoptysis. However, it must be appreciated
that these complaints, along with lassitude and sleeplessness, and a closed,
taciturn, gloomy and melancholy mood, mostly occur in conjunction with the heartsymptoms
as described, or are present with heart conditions which may then require
Cactus as their remedy.
The most important symptoms are as follows: - Cramping complaints with contraction, as if surrounded by an iron clamp, especially
the heart (angina pectoris), but also in the rectum, neck of the bladder,
uterus, diaphragm, head, gullet, stomach etc. - Bleeding from all cavities of the body, especially in congestion and heart affections,
also pulmonary haemorrhage and menstrual bleeding. - Pulsating headache, as if a heavy weight were on the vertex. Pulsations through
the whole body, preventing sleep. - Sensation of pressure, as of a load in the chest. Sensation of a load on the vertex.
192 - Gastro-cardiac symptom-complex with constriction of the heart, pulsations in the
stomach area, nausea and eructations, and possible haematemesis. (Acute or
chronic hepatic congestion).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Selenicereus grandiflorus, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cactus: spasmodic conditions affecting the musculature, vascular organs,
and hollow organs; mucosal haemorrhages; organic and functional cardiac disorders;
angiosclerosis; hypertension.
Cadmium Sulphuricum – Cadmium Sulphate
The attenuations are prepared from Cadmium sulphate, CdSO4 · 8/3 H2O, MW:
256.5.
The main symptoms and indications are:
Burning in the stomach. Vomiting. Haematemesis. Carcinoma of the stomach,
(may also be prescribed orally).
The action is similar to that of Zinc, but more powerful. There is a desire to be
completely at rest, as in Bryonia, but at the same time irritability of the stomach and
exhaustion as in Arsenicum Album.
A hint is provided by the symptom: shivering, even when near heating.
The tendency to vomiting is so pronounced that vomiting and retching occur when
food has scarcely touched the lips.
Further symptoms which occur are: ulceration and congestion of the nose, itching
of the skin, yellow patch on the nose, cheeks and chest.
Yellow fever with black vomiting, ozaena and chloasma are also indications.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cadmium sulphuricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cadmium sulphuricum: facial paralysis; corneal clouding; nasal
polyps; acute and chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract; general weakness
and debilitation.
193
Caecum Suis – Blind Gut
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh blind gut (intestinum
coecum) of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Disturbances of intestinal excretion. Chronic constipation. General toxic overloading.
Has a stimulating effect on detoxifying and excretory processes.
Caladium Seguinum – Dumb Cane
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant, Dieffenbachia seguine
(Jacq.) Schott, a native of East Asia, Central America and tropical South America.
N.O. Araceae.
It is recommended in pruritus vulvae.
Further indications are pulsating, cramping pains, reduced by perspiration and
short sleep. There is fear of movement and an inclination to lie down, also a sensation
of being rocked. Sleep is restless and anxious, with groaning and moaning,
starting and easy awakening.
In spite of dryness in the mouth there is no desire for water, rather an aversion to
it, and no thirst. Burning in the stomach and the abdomen.
Premature ejaculation with incomplete erection and reduced libido.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Dieffenbachia seguine, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for caladium seguinum: genital pruritus.
Calcium Bromatum – Calcium Bromide
The attenuations are prepared from Calcium bromide, CaBr2 · x H2O, MW: 199.9
(H2O-free).
The main indications are:
Teething complaints of neuropathic infants.
Calcium Bromatum is said to be especially suited to restless children inclined to
screaming and nervous disturbances, with blond hair, especially if a tendency is
present towards brain inflammation, vomiting and diarrhoea.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calcium bromatum, published
194
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for calcium bromatum: nervousness suffered by children.
Calcium Carbonicum Hahnemanni – Hahnemann’s Calcium Carbonate
The attenuations are prepared from a trituration of the inner parts of broken oyster
shells. Ostrea edulis L. N.O. Ostreidae.
Calcium Carbonicum, or carbonate of calcium is an important mineral, urgently
needed by the body for the construction of various tissues. Particularly in the skeletal
system, calcium is required and stored in large quantities. It is possible to define
the skeletal system as a large reserve depot for calcium in the body. Calcium has further
affinities with glandular activities, especially with the parathyroid gland, by
which the calcium metabolism is regulated. The result of this is the wide range of
possibilities which we have for use of the homoeopathic preparation of calcium.
Calcium Carbonicum is used not only in glandular swellings, and diseases of the
skin and the skeletal system, but also in lithiasis (gall-stones, kidney-stones), in coxalgia,
in umbilical colic, and in catarrhs of the mucosa, e.g. leucorrhoea of little
girls (also Mercurius Iodatus Flavus) and painless hoarseness.
From the constitutional point of view, the Calcium Carbonicum type is puffy,
pasty and oedematous: states which are commonly found in an exudative diathesis.
For this latter condition, Calcium Carbonicum is one of the most important remedies.
Children in the first years of life tend towards such exudations, whether it be in
the form of cradle-cap or of hyperhydrosis, the latter being one of the most important
symptoms in the picture of Calcium Carbonicum. The Calcium Carbonicum
patient is mostly phlegmatic and tends towards constitutional obesity. The skincolouring
is white, altered by oedematous swelling, even chalky-white. The children
are especially noticeable for their clumsiness, slowness and sluggishness in all their
movements. Dentition is late and they learn to walk late. The temperament is fundamentally
different from that of Sulphur, but in other respects there are certain similarities
with Sulphur, namely in the tendency towards eczematous skin conditions,
such as one also finds in Graphites, and in this latter remedy there is also a phlegmatic
temperament with a tendency to adiposity.
The typical bone-changes of Calcium Carbonicum express themselves especially
in the spine and in the long bones in the form of rickets; however, Calcium Carbonicum
is also indicated in osteomalacia, and is one of the most valuable remedies for
fontanelles which fail to close; there can also be a tendency towards hydrocephalic
enlargement of the skull.
In the Calcium Carbonicum patient the functioning of the lymphatic system is
generally disturbed. Adenoid growths and polyps are also found in the nose, ears,
bladder and uterus.
195
The typical hyperhydrosis of Calcium Carbonicum has already been mentioned,
but it is possible to define the nature of the perspiration more precisely. The patient
suffers from cold, damp feet, with a sensation as if he were wearing cold, damp
stockings. He likewise suffers from cold legs with nocturnal sweating. This is accompanied
by a sensation of coldness, both internal and external, e.g. on the most
varied areas of the head, as if an ice-cube were on them. There is often the typical
pale, puffy face. Overall, a predominant feeling of internal coldness, with sensitivity
to fresh air, the slightest cool draught penetrating him through and through, as in Silicea.
In infants and small children there are typical head-sweats, the pillow being
soaked with sweat and the occipital hair breaking off. Occasionally one finds hydrocephalus,
rickets, and also cholera infantum and marasmic symptoms. There is
sweating on the male genitalia, on the nape of the neck, on the chest, in the axillae,
on hands, knees and feet. However, parital sweats, night-sweats too, likewise those
of tuberculosis, are an indication for Calcium Carbonicum, especially if the skin is
cold, particularly on the lower extremities.
A further symptom of Calcium Carbonicum is sourness along the whole alimentary
canal, characterised by sour eructations, sour vomiting of curdled milk, as is
found in Aethusa Cynapium, also sour diarrhoea, so that the whole child smells
sour. There is also a characteristic desire for eggs, which can occur both in sickness
and in convalescence. There are typical swellings of the stomach, which bulges outwards
and protrudes like an inverted saucer. The flatulence may have occurred as a
result of the swelling of the mesenteric glands, for which Calcium Carbonicum is
likewise a main remedy, as it is also for chronically enlarged tonsils. The body tries
to rid itself vicariously of the toxins through diarrhoea, which is worse in the afternoons,
the diarrhoea causing comparative weakness. The action of Calcium Carbonicum
on the mucosa also shows itself in the lungs, particularly in the larynx,
where there is painless hoarseness, worse in the mornings. In the lungs there is a
constitutional weakness, which is frequently a basis for tuberculosis. In this, it is
mostly the middle and upper lobes of the right lung which are affected, (cf. Sulphur,
in which it is the upper left lobe). The Calcium Carbonicum picture also includes
shortness of breath on walking, and especially on ascending.
When Calcium Carbonicum is indicated in women, the menses are usually too
early and copious, the patient complaining of coldness from the feet up to the knees.
In contrast to the usual pasty puffiness of the Calcium picture, in more advances
states of illness there may be complete loss of appetite and progressive emaciation.
In such states the leading symptoms are usually cold hands and feet, general lack
of chilliness but sensitivity to cold, tendency to sweat, with possible night-sweats
also (menopause).
The typical Calcium Carbonicum leucorrhoea is milky, as is frequently found in
young girls, without admixture of blood. Neither do the typical polypi of Calcium
Carbonicum bleed, but tend more towards mucous discharges. (Mucous polypi.)
Briefly summarising the most important symptoms of Calcium Carbonicum, we
have the following characteristic remedy-picture.
196 - Leucophlegmatic temperament, with disturbed development of the skeletal system.
Tendency to rickets and osteomalacia. Delayed closing of fontanelles. Development
of a large head. Tendency to hydrocephalus. Late dentition and lateness
in learning to walk in children. - Swellings of the lymph-nodes, (tonsils, hilar glands, mesenteric glands). Scrofula.
- Abdominal distension. Colic of mesenteric glands.
- Hands and feet feel cold, with sensation as of wet stockings.
- Chilliness. Aversion to cold and to fresh air. General sensitivity to cold, but may
also be circumscribed on the head, knees and feet. - Partial and general sweats, day and night, especially on the occiput, and sweating
on the slightest exertion. Circumscribed sweats between the thighs or on
hands, feet or genitalia. Menopausal sweats. - Cradle-cap and a tendency towards scurf. Exudative diathesis. Swollen puffy
skin, which is white, pale and pasty. Milky leucorrhoea. - Growth of polypi, especially in nose, ear and uterus. Mucous polypi, not bleeding.
- Menses early and copious, especially during menopause.
- Sour diarrhoea, vomiting of sour, curdled milk. The whole childs smells sour.
- Strong desire for eggs, especially during sickness or convalescence.
- Painless hoarseness, worse in the morning.
- Coxalgia, arthritis with changes in the joints. Tinnitus.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calcium carbonicum Hahnemanni,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for calcium carbonicum: calcium-metabolism disorders;
chronic inflammations of the skin and mucosae; proliferative mucosal processes.
Calcium Fluoratum – Calcium Fluoride
The attenuations are prepared from Calcium fluoride, CaF2, MW: 78.1.
The main indications are:
Swelling of the bones. Dental caries. Fistulae of the bones. Glandular swellings,
stony-hard and suggestive of carcinoma. Vascular naevus. Lumbago with aggravation
on first movement. Meibomian cysts and styes, both indurated. Indurations are
characteristic of Calcium Fluoratum.
The main action is equally on connective structures generally including elastic
tissue, and on the periosteum. It also promotes the resorption of indurated exudates
and is likewise effective in treating varices, haemorrhoids, exostoses, spots on the
cornea and in mammary tumours. (In the last-mentioned the Mastitis Cystica nosode
would be better or could be used concurrently.) Also in lumbago (affections of the
spine), post-nasal catarrh and ozaena.
197
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calcium fluoratum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for calcium fluoratum: inflammations of the upper respiratory passages
and of the gastrointestinal tract; degenerative alterations of the supporting and connective
tissues; thyroid disorders.
Calcium Iodatum – Calcium Iodide
The attenuations are prepared from Calcium iodide, CaI2 · 4 H2O, MW: 366.0.
The main indications are:
Chronic glandular indurations, goitre. Hypertrophy of the tonsils.
The iodine component of this remedy is responsible for activating metabolic
processes and connective tissue function. Thus Calcium Iodatum is to be preferred
to Calcium Carbonicum in many cases.
Its use is recommended in hypertrophy of the parotid glands, congestive coryza,
polypi, bronchitis, pleural effusion, knee-joint effusions, chronic infection of the
bones, adenoma of the mammary glands, chronic hydrocephalus, facial paralysis,
phlyctenular conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers in scrofulous children – who also exhibit
swollen tonsils and cervical glands, and in blepharitis, chronic otitis with hardness
of hearing and involvement of the bones, and galactorrhoea of women who are not
nursing (if Pulsatilla fails).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calcium iodatum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
calcium iodatum: enlargement of the lymph nodes; tonsillar swelling; chronic purulent
otitis media; tendency to common colds; goiterous disorders; ulcerous varicose
veins.
Calcium Phosphoricum – Calcium Phosphate
The attenuations are prepared from Calcium Hydrogen phosphate,
CaHPO4 · 2 H2O, MW: 172.1.
The main characteristics are as follows:
It is a weakness-remedy for underdeveloped children and in puberty. Rickets.
Headaches (hat unbearable). The head wobbles around. Protracted dentition.
Teeth decay prematurely. Desires smoked foods. Pains in the limbs and joints when
198
the weather changes. Headache after school. Pulmonary tuberculosis, sensitivity to
the least draught (causes pain). Stimulates formation of callus in fractures.
Whilst Calcium Carbonicum works better in flabby patients, Calcium Phosphoricum
is indicated for thin patients. There are umbilical colics, constant desire for
food, with easy vomiting of food after eating.
Diarrhoea and colicky pains, especially after fruit; loose green stools, sometimes
mucous and lienteric with foul-smelling flatulence. Anal fistula.
Menses too early with bright red or dark blood and with violent pains in the back.
Hoarseness, continually clearing the throat; tickling cough with dryness in the
throat.
Calcium Phosphoricum is one of the main remedies in rickets and difficult dentition,
also in cholera infantum and digestive weakness, and assists rapid healing of
fractures.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calcium phosphoricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for calcium phosphoricum: constitutional remedy for status lymphaticus;
conditions of exhaustion; appetite disorders; calcium deficiency; spinal affections.
Calcium Sulphuricum – Calcium Sulphate
The attenuations are prepared from Calcium sulphate, CaSO4 · 2 H2O, MW:
172.2.
The main indications are:
Purulent conditions of connective tissue. Cystic acne. Chronic sinuses. Chronic
tonsillitis. Keratitis and conjunctivitis with discharge. (Specific).
Calcium Sulphuricum is close to Hepar Sulphuris, but has a deeper action on festering
processes, especially after these have discharged.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calcium sulphuricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for calcium sulphuricum: suppuration of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue,
accompanied by a tendency to develop fistulas; chronic mucosal suppuration.
199
Calculi Bili – Gall Stones
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from triturated gall-stones (Calculi
fellei).
The essential indications are:
Cholelithiasis. Cholecystitis. Cholangitis, especially effective in combination with
Calculi Renales, Bacterium Coli and with Vesica Fellea.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calculi biliarii-Nosode, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for calculi bili: gallstone affections.
Calculi Renales – Kidney Stones
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgically removed kidney
stones (mixture of: oxalate phosphate, cerate).
The main indications are:
Nephrolithiasis. Pyelonephritis. Prostate problems. Especially effective combined
with Berberis, Calculi Bili and Ureter, in injection.
Calendula – Marigold
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts of the flowering plant,
Calendula officinalis L. N.O. Compositae.
The main indications are:
Badly-healing wounds (with lacerated and crushed edges).
Additionally, Calendula is characterised by great irritability, with a tendency to
choke and rheumatoid pains everywhere with light shivering, aggravated while at
rest.
Calendula also has a beneficial effect on vesicular eruptions and on inflammatory
swelling of the submaxillary gland, the tonsils, the parotid glands and various lymph
glands (could also be used in mononucleosis – glandular fever – along with Vincetoxicum
or Engystol).
Calendula is especially suited to wounds whose state is deteriorating, which cause
considerable pain and whose edges are red from inflammation with a tendency to
fester, especially in contusions. (External application also.)
200
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Calendula officinalis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal

Caltha Palustris – Marsh Marigold
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts of the flowering plant,
Caltha palustris L., which grows in ditches and water-meadows in Europe, Asia and
North America. N.O. Ranunculaceae.
Caltha Palustris has done good work in gastric symptoms with abdominal pain,
vomiting and diarrhoea, especially when headache and singing in the ears are present,
with possible urinary tenesmus also. We may also see favourable action in cellulitis,
and in pemphigus vulgaris with bullae surrounded by a ring with much itching.
Caltha Palustris (in tincture or low potencies) may also be tried in great swelling
of the face, especially around the eyes, and in itching eruptions on the thighs with
pustules. Good action is said to have been observed in uterine cancer.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Caltha palustris, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
caltha palustris: rashes.
cAMP – cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate
The attenuations are prepared from Adenosine cyclic-3’,5’-(hydrophosphate)
C10H12N5O6P, MW: 329.2.
cAMP has become known as a significant intracellular regulating factor, which is
produced in the cell-membrane as the result of stimuli which proceed in part from
the surrounding connective tissue. During this production, cell-differentiation takes
place and other hormonal stimuli are transmitted. cAMP is antagonistic towards
cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate), through which undifferentiated cell
growth is promoted, i.e. cancerous tumours. The cancer cell is distinguished – apart
from disturbance in respiration and mutation – by unlimited growth of undifferentiated
cells (without the usual inhibiting factors).
cAMP is used principally for stimulative reactivation in enzyme-blocks (cellmembrane
enzymes such as adenylate cyclase), in cellular phases, iatrogenic dam-
201
age, and may be tried experimentally in virus diseases and as a supportive treatment
in cancer.
For expediency, it is given in the form of injections, and the further to the right of
the Biological Section the phase is orientated, the higher the potencies. e.g. in tumours
30X and 20X, in inflammations (reaction phases) 6X or 8X, whilst the 12X
represents a medium potency which may also be indicated in tumours.
The drug picture of cAMP was composed in June 1996 by David Riley, M.D.,
Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Camphora – Camphor
The attenuations are prepared from D-camphor, C10H16O, MW: 152.2, which is obtained
from Cinnamomum camphora T. Nees et Eberm. N.O. Lauraceae.
The essential indications are:
Initially abortive cure in influenza. Main remedy for cholera. Violent fever with
subsequent prostration. Irritation of the bladder. Cramps and neuralgias.
Camphor serves as an antidote for a wide variety of remedy-aggravations.
Typical Camphora symptoms are burning pains in the gullet and stomach, retching
and vomiting, and effects on the circulation. These are seen first of all in slowing of
the pulse, pallor of the skin and lowering of the body temperature; later there is a reaction,
with quickening of the heart-beat and raising of the body temperature. With
this there are heat and flushing of the face and palpitation in the carotid arteries.
Camphora is also indicated at the beginning of colds, e.g. in acute fluent coryza
with increased discharge of watery mucus from the nose, with or without sneezing.
However, it is also indicated in congestive coryza and catarrhal irritations of the laryngeal
and tracheal mucosa, with short dry coughs and constriction of the chest.
Camphora is always indicated when death threatens through rapid depression of
neural activity or of pulmonary or cardiac activity, e.g. in drowning. In such situations
of collapse it is on a par with Carbo Vegetabilis.
Camphora also has a reputation in bladder problems arising from the abuse of
Spanish-fly blisters. Such bladder symptoms would otherwise indicate prostate disease.
There is frequent urging to pass urine, the urination being painful and difficult,
the urine passing drop by drop with burning pains. There is also urging from holding
the urine, and tenesmus of the sphincter vesicae.
A rare symptom may be mentioned: that the bladder is pressed out over the pubic
bone, rather as if a rupture had occurred.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Camphora, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
camphora: common cold; syncopal attacks.
204
Cantharis – Spanish Fly
The attenuations are prepared from the careful dried, if possible undamaged insect,
Lytta vesicatoria Fabricius. N.O. Meloideae.
Cantharis exhibits a few characteristics symptoms, which principally affect the
mucosa of the genito-urinary organs. Here Cantharis brings about violent inflammations
with states of irritation, and similar symptoms in the mucosa of the gastro-intestinal
tract and respiratory organs, and in the serous membranes, (haemorrhagic inflammations).
As a consquence of the toxic action objects appear yellow. Additionally
however there is a powerful action on the nervous and vascular systems and the
perception of burning, especially in the mucosa, such as burning in the mouth, pharynx
and stomach, possibly linked with colics, violent thirst and discharge of white or
pale reddish tough mucus, like scrapings from the intestines, streaked with blood.
Burning pains in the ovaries and peritonitis with burning pains, and also burning and
stinging in the larynx, burning in the chest and in the skin in erysipelas, are characteristic
of Cantharis. Cantharis can have a beneficial effect on chronic bronchitis
with difficulty in raising the mucus, if Kali Bichromicum does not help and there are
possibly urinary symptoms (Nash).
In the throat there may be a sensation of cramping constriction, such as is found in
hydrophobia, just as the urinary symptoms are frequently accompanied by cramping,
spastic contraction, linked with continuous violent urging to urinate. The urine
is only passed in drops and the patient has the sensation of molten lead passing
down the urethra, linked with violent burning and pains persisting afterwards, extending
possibly as far as the sacrum.
Formerly poisoning with Cantharis was frequent, because the Spanish fly was
used as an aphrodisiac to arouse the sexual drive. Thus Cantharis is indicated in
gonorrhoea with violent irritation and erections, also in purulent and bloody discharge
from urethra and vagina. Cantharis is also especially useful in cases where –
as was formerly general practice – the catarrhs of the urethra or the gonorrhoea were
driven back by injections into the upper areas of the genito-urinary tract: an unnatural
form of treatment.
In women there is nymphomania with severe symptoms of bladder irritation, and
there are also dark-coloured, early and copious menses. Additionally Cantharis can
be used to promote the expulsion of moles, etc.
The skin symptoms also reveal Cantharis to be a useful remedy in vesicular eruptions,
above all after burns, when blisters form on a yellowish base, and also in herpes
zoster, although here other substances such as Ranunculus, Rhus Tox., Mezereum
and others have a more rapid and deeper-reaching action. Cantharis may also
be indicated in infected blisters.
The throat-pains of Cantharis are important, occurring as they do in connection
with paralysis and the inability to swallow solids, and especially water in rabies (hydrophobia)
and in bulbar palsy. Here Cantharis can be an important symptomatically
effective remedy, at least reducing these symptoms. (Otherwise use Medulla ob-
205
longata sarcode.) Also in the symptom-picture of Cantharis are inflammations like
erysipelas with vesicles on the skin, above all on the face, hands, arms and chest,
itching and burning strongly and showing increased discharge.
Cantharis characteristically illustrates the Reversal rule of large and small doses.
Whilst the lower potencies, given when there is irritation of the genito-urinary tract,
may produce violent aggravations, the medium and higher potencies (in accordance
with the Reversal effect) have a calming and healing action. So reports Dr. Orlowski
(Berlin), who had developed a procedure for curing premature ejaculation, involving
cautery of the colliculus seminalis of the urethra with subsequent silver nitrate
cautery. Severe bleeding always occurred, which he was able to stop quickly with
Cantharis 6X, having previously experienced the most serious complications, day
and night every time, because of persistent haemorrhaging. Cantharis is also specially
indicated in haematuria, (also in intestinal bleeding with passing of mucous
shreds), so that it is an important remedy in renal calculi with haematuria, and in irritative
conditions in the genito-urinary tract.
If we summarise the main symptoms of Cantharis, the following typical remedypicture
results: - Special action on the mucosa of the genito-urinary tract with urging to urinate
and violent tenesmus, passage of urine by drops, and haematuria. Burning pains
on urination and sacral pain. Strong arousal of the sexual drive. Nymphomania.
Purulent, burning leucorrhoea. Menses too early, dark and copious. - Vesicles on the skin, filled with excoriating fluid. Skin burns like fire. Scalds.
Herpes zoster. Erysipelas (on bridge of nose). - Intestinal inflammations with evacuation of blood-streaked mucus, cutting and
burning in the anus. Burning along the whole alimentary canal. - Oesophageal cramps. Hydrophobia. Rabies. Throat symptoms (difficulty in swallowing)
in bulbar paralysis. Laryngeal and tracheal catarrhs with bloody expectoration. - General tendency to haemorrhagic inflammations and gangrene (penis). Haemorrhagic
pneumonia. Dysentery. Ulcerative colitis. Meningitis. Haematuria.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Lytta vesicatoria, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cantharis: acute inflammations of the mucosae, the urinary organs, the reproductive
organs, the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin with formation of blisters; effusions in
cavities of the body.
206
Capsicum – Cayenne Pepper
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried ripe fruits of the plant, Capsicum
annuum L., which is a native of Central America. N.O. Solanaceae.
The essential indications are:
Ulcerative glossitis. Aphthae. Pharyngitis, blood-red mucosa, raw sensation, constriction,
aggravated by not swallowing. Tonsillitis, mastoiditis. Acute otitis media.
Malaria, great chilliness. Chronic urethritis.
Capsicum is said to be a remedy for home-sickness, which is of course difficult to
objectify. The mood is irritable and changeable, alternating between laughing and
crying. With this, great restlessness and excessive busyness, also anxiety.
Further indications of Capsicum are:
A strange symptom, which may lead one to Capsicum in many cases is that of
feverish states, in which great thirst occurs mostly only in the preceding chilly stage,
but is lacking during the heat.
There are also rheumatic pains in the joints with creaking, groaning and cracking
of the joints, and clamping pains and stiffness of various joints, especially the knee
and ankle. These pains are especially marked on first movement. (cf. Rhus Toxicodendron).
Neuralgias of a stabbing or tearing kind in various parts of the body, particularly
in the region of the arm and the sciatic nerve.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Capsicum annuum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for capsicum: mastoiditis; purulent otitis media; mucosal inflammations of
the mouth, pharynx, gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder, and urethra.
Carbo Vegetabilis – Activated Charcoal
The attenuations are prepared from well-burnt charcoal from red Beech or Birch
wood.
Carbo Vegetabilis, wood charcoal, is well-known as a general absorbent and
detoxifying remedy, with which numerous poisons, e.g. alkaloids, but also albumin
etc. can be antidoted. A similar detoxifying action may be seen in the homoeopathic
preparation of charcoal, even though here it is not simply a question of adsorption of
the toxins, but as in all homoeopathic remedies, a question of stimulating the major
defensive system. When Carbo Vegetabilis is given in homoeopathic potency and dilution,
these adsorption factors obviously no longer play a direct part; it seems rather
that, by means of the dynamisation of Carbo Vegetabilis, especially in the highest
potencies, defence mechanisms with specific adsorptive action on poisons are acti-
207
vated, such as e.g. the reticulo-endothelial, which is well-known for its storage
mechanisms.
Thus Carbo Vegetabilis is homoeopathically indicated when severe toxic states
are present, i.e. when states of exhaustion arise as a consquence of toxic overloading
in some serious disease, no matter whether it be a heart disease, apoplexy, typhus,
whooping cough, asthma, emphysema, ulceration of the lower leg, or some other
symptom. In such cases, Carbo Vegetabilis in a suitable potency (experience shows
that high potencies work best here), can save lives; this has been shown again and
again. There is a special leading symptom, which is icy coldness of the skin in collapse,
of the body also, and yet a desire for fresh air, such as may appear in cases of
incipient respiratory paralysis. These patients, no matter whether it is asthma, weak
heart, or collapse of some other origin, e.g. even after accidents, often lie there uncovered
and appear to feel well, even demanding air, although the weakness in ciruclation
is obviously only being worsend by it. In such sick people or accident-victims
the autonomic centres of the mid-brain and the bone-marrow are almost exhausted.
The breath is cold, the pulse ceases or is thready, and cold sweat breaks out
on the limbs, as in Veratrum Album. A bluish discolouration of the skin may also
occur similar to terminal cyanosis, a result of weakness in circulation and exhaustion
of the sympathetic nervous system with consequent stagnation of arterial blood and
inability to satisfy the need for oxygen through respiration, e.g. also in asthmatic attack.
Ecchymoses and bruises are also possible. Despite this extinguishing of his
vital warmth, the patient still constantly craves for cool air and must be fanned; he is
right on the brink of ultimate physical exhaustion. In such cases, e.g. when severe infectious
diseases such as typhus etc. are present, haemorrhages may also occur from
the gums, intestines and mucosa. However, these are not the decisive factor in the
prescription of Carbo Vegetabilis, but the Hippocratic countenance, the exhaustion,
the collapse, from all of which the patient can often surprisingly be rescued by
Carbo Vegetabilis.
There are other states of collapse, e.g. post-operative or after implantation of fresh
cells, or in shock-symptoms of any and every kind, where Carbo Vegetabilis is called
for quickly, and even more obviously in combination with Veratrum Album; indeed
one could describe this combination of Carbo Vegetabilis and Veratrum Album, parenterally
administered, as the homoeopathic circulatory injection. So long as the
body’s powers of resistance are still capable of arousal, this will often be achieved
with Carbo Vegetabilis and one will witness the recovery of patients whose situation
was otherwise clearly hopeless, and this even in cases of collapse and lowered vitality,
in asthma, whooping cough, accidents etc.
It is an astonishing thing that such a deep-reaching homoeopathic remedy, and one
which is virtually fail-safe, is no longer in use in general medicine. It may be that for
many colleagues the high potencies (12X, 30X) are a stumbling-block, and it is
these which must be used in such cases. In spite of this, it is precisely in such cases
that one can demonstrate the value of the higher potencies, with the same results repeatedly
occurring on the same indication.
208
Carbo Vegetabilis has a considerable number of other symptoms which have nothing
to do with collapse, such as degenerative, spongy gums which bleed on touch or
when sucked and which separate from the teeth, as one finds in periodonitis. Carbo
Vegetabilis will also have a beneficial effect in a sensation of weakness in the stomach,
lined with hyperacidity and heartburn, especially in cases where Pulsatilla is not
effective. Flatulence is characteristic of Carbo Vegetabilis, especially when it occurs
in the epigastrium. Carbo Vegetabilis will also be beneficial for burning in the stomach,
such as one finds in neoplasm phases or in a pre-cancerous state. It will likewise
be beneficial in laryngitis and hoarseness, which is worse in moist air and occurs
mainly in the evenings; by contrast, hoarseness in the mornings will be helped by
Causticum. In bronchitis and asthma in elderly people with an exhausted constitution
Carbo Vegetabilis is often a life-saver, e.g. also in incipient or full-blown pulmonary
oedema. It is only natural that Carbo Vegetabilis should offer excellent assistance
in bronchial asthma, especially in status asthmaticus, where it is best prescribed
along with Sulphur and Bryonia.
Carbo Vegetabilis should be used in asthma if there is rattling respiration and the
patient cannot raise the mucus, and also, as already mentioned, in pulmonary oedema.
It will also often relieve burning, as from glowing coals, with a sensation of
tiredness on the chest, in the stomach and in other organs.
Apart from cold breath and cold, damp skin, cold knees are also symptomatic of
Carbo Vegetabilis, especially at night, causing the patient to wake.
The Carbo Vegetabilis patient cannot tolerate alcohol which causes dyspeptic
symptoms. Aphthous glossitis, often so difficult to relieve, is likewise an indication
for Carbo Vegetabilis, also protruding haemorrhoids, bluish and knotted. Carbo Vegetabilis
has also done good work in ulceration of the lower leg.
A good alternating remedy to use with Carbo Vegetabilis is China, which is likewise
a remedy for weakness, though better indicated in chronic states.
Carbo Vegetabilis is one of the remedies which offers the possibility of classical
experimental demonstration of the action of high potencies with proof, especially in
cases which can no longer be reached by orthodox therapy: the most serious cases of
exhaustion and collapse. When the situation appears hopeless, when death from circulatory
failure is obviously only a matter of minutes away, when stimulants no
longer have any effect, even in cases of a general nature with no obvious indications
for Carbo Vegetabilis, then let one more attempt be made with this great polychrest,
whose effects are often so incredible as to cause the medically-trained practitioner
embarrassment when telling of them.
The Carbo Vegetabilis effect really spurs us on to further attempts to explain the
working of the high potencies through untiring research, even though so far only hypothetical
explanations exist which are not sufficient to explain the experimental results.
However, the impossibility so far of a precise explanation is in no way an obstacle
to the use of such highly effective preparations in high potency, for the results
achieved with high potencies of Carbo Vegetabilis in suitable cases are clear for all
to see.
209
If we now categorise the symptoms of Carbo Vegetabilis once more, the following
remedy-picture emerges: - Remedy for coldness: cold damp skin, cold breath, cold knees.
- States of collapse in a wide variety of illnesses, in typhus, apoplexy, cardiac
weakness, states of shock (after road accidents), etc., with demands to open the
windows. Palpitations. - Cardiac muscular weakness with typical dyspnoea, and possible pulmonary
oedema and incipient respiratory paralysis. - Bronchial asthma with air-hunger, cold sweat, collapse.
- Flatulence in the stomach with burning in the epigastrium.
- Aphthous glossitis with bleeding, shrinking gums. Periodontitis.
- Bluish haemorrhoids, protruding and knotted.
- Whooping cough at night with suffocative sensation and desire to be fanned.
- Intolerance of alcohol, dyspepsia, flatulence and distension after it, especially in
the stomach. - Laryngitis with hoarseness in the evening.
- Ulceration of the lower leg with burning.
- General exhaustion and deterioration of vital energy, also in neoplasm phases.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Carbo vegetabilis, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
carbo vegetabilis: varicose veins; inflammations of the respiratory passages;
hoarseness; insufficiency of digestive organs accompanied by flatulence; mucosal
bleeding; cardiac and circulatory insufficiency.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Phenolum (Acidum carbolicum),
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger
(German Federal Gazette) for acidum carbolicum: inflammations; suppuration and
ulceration of the skin, the oral mucosae, the pharynx, and the gastrointestinal tract;
geriatric pruritus.
210
Carcinoma Bronchium – Nosode of Bronchial Cancer
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from material obtained during surgery:
excised bronchial carcioma.
For auxiliary/additional therapy in bronchial carcinoma (particularly post-operative);
chronic bronchitis and smoker’s catarrh (in this connection bronchial carcinoma
should not be over-looked).
Carcinoma Coli – Nosode of Intestinal Cancer
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgically removed tissue of intestinal
cancer.
Carcinoma Coli is used in pre-cancerous states of the tissue concerned, or according
to the Law of Similars in similar indications, e.g. in carcinoma uteri. However,
the Carcinoma Coli nosode can also be used in cancer of the large intestine itself,
isopathically, in which case violent reactions may occur.
Carcinoma Hepatis
Carcinoma Hepatis Metastasis – Nosode of Cancer of the Liver
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgically removed human
liver-cancer tissue.
Liver damage and pre-cancerous conditions of the liver. May also be used as an intermediate
injection in various kinds of impregnation and degeneration phases. Also
in early cases of cancer with a tendency to metastasis.
Carcinoma Laryngis – Nosode of Cancer of the Larynx
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgically removed cancerous
laryngeal tissue.
The indications are as for Carcinosin. Protracted hoarseness without obvious organic
cause. Laryngitis of speakers and singers.
211
Carcinoma Mammae – Nosode of Breast-Cancer
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from tissue taken from cancer of the
human mammary gland.
In early cases of mammary carcinoma, and in breast-tumours and suspicious fibromas
in the context of other anti-homotoxic therapy (see Neoplasm phases), as an
intermediate injection with catalysts, quinones and preparations of the carbonyl
groups etc.
Carcinoma Uteri – Nosode of Cancer of the Womb
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from tissue obtained from cancer of
the womb.
For auxiliary/additional therapy in uterine carcinoma (also, and in particular, postoperatively
as well as after irradiation, insertions of radium etc.).
Although hysteromyomas only rarely degenerate neoplastically, this nosode
preparation is also indicated for hysteromyomas.
Cardia Ventriculi Suis – Cardiac Sphincter of Stomach
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh cardiac sphincter of a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
By means of the potentised sarcodes, the body’s defences (major defensive system)
are directed towards the human tissue in question. The healing action is accomplished
through the stimulative strengthening of the body’s propensity for selfhealing,
and in this way a wide variety of phases, including impregnation phases,
can be influenced.
Essentially, the following are the indications: Cardiospasm, Heartburn, Hiccough,
Chronic gastritis, Ulcerative diathesis.
212
Carduus Marianus – St. Mary’s Thistle (Silybum)
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried ripe seeds of Silybum marianum
[L.] Gaertn. N.O. Compositae.
The total symptomatology of Carduus Marianus focusses on conditions of the
liver, both feverish and otherwise, with diarrhoea or constipation, also icterus, gallstone
colics and as a supplementary remedy in ascites.
Carduus Marianus has also been used empirically with success in coughing with
stitches in the side, in affections of the pleura and peritoneum, and in congestive
states and abnormal bleeding of the uterus.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Silybum marianum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for carduus marinus: affections of the liver and gallbladder; haemorrhoids
and spasmodic contractions (cramps); rheumatism of the shoulders and hips.
Cartilago Suis – Cartilage
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh cartilage of the knee
and hip joints and the intervertebral discs of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
Diseases of the cartilage. Tenosynovitis. Rheumatoid arthritis. Coxalgia. Frozen
shoulder. The rheumatoid arthritis (deformans) may be intra-articular or periarticular/
infiltrative.
A proving of this substance was conducted in the spring and summer of 1994 by
Dr. David Riley which confirmed its usefulness in diseases of the joints.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Castoreum – Beaver-secretion
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried glandular secretion of the beaver,
Castor fiber L. or Castor canadense Kuhl. N.O. Castoridae.
The main indications are: Nerve remedy. Hysteria. Slimy green or whitish diarrhoea.
Lassitude and prostrating sweats following feverish illness.
All the symptoms point to emotional overloading, with a great sensitivity to a
wide variety of external impressions. Many complaints arise or are aggravated by
toxic overloading, e.g. during menses. Generally there is amelioration from rubbing
the affected parts and from warm applications.
The mood alternates between peevishness in the morning and light-hearted exuberance
in the evening; in between there are melancholy episodes.
Sleep is generally restless with anxious dreams.
The picture of Castoreum includes rheumatic and neuralgic conditions with spasmodic
tension in the intercostal region and the musculature of the neck, shoulders
and back, neuralgias of the arm, ameliorated by rubbing, painful sensations along
the sciatic nerve with great fatigue of the lower limbs and feeling of heaviness in the
head. There may also be lack of clarity of vision with increased lachrymation, and
tinnitus with tearing, ringing and roaring sounds.
In the circulatory system there are distended veins with slow pulse and a sensation
of constriction in the heart and cold shudders, none of these complaints having any
essential objective cause.
In the respiratory organs there are also catarrhal conditions with coughing and
stabbing pains in the chest. These pains are also found in the digestive system, along
with stomatitis and glossitis, eructations, disgust for food, nausea, feeling of fullness
with pressure in the stomach, with the symtpom: “as if a feeling of coldness dominated
the stomach”, which can point to Castoreum.
The menses usually come on too early with pains in the sacrum and many nervous
complaints, the menses recurring again after a few days.
Thus Castoreum is particularly suited to inflammatory and spasmodic conditions
of various organs, especially in emotionally overcharged cases.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Castoreum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
castoreum: nervous disorders and emotional discord or upset; spasmodic conditions
of the gastrointestinal tract; paramenia.
216
Caulophyllum Thalictroides – Blue Cohosh/Squaw-Root
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock and attached roots of the
plant, Caulophyllum thalictroides [L.] Michx., a native of damp North American
forests from Canada to Carolina, and of Asia. N.O. Berberidaceae.
The main indications are:
Dysmenorrhoea. Leucorrhoea excoriating, acrid, copious, in children. Rheumatism
of the small joints (fingers).
There is no doubt that Caulophyllum has a specific action on the uterine muscles;
thus through use of this remedy childbirth can be made easier and habitual miscarriage
and weakness of contractions can be prevented. The author has seen this borne
out in numerous female patients in the course of his practice in Berlin.
At that time it was his custom to prescribe all pregnant patients Pulsatilla 30X in the
morning and Caulophyllum 30X at night from the sixth month, i.e. during the last
three months of pregnancy, and he cannot remember a single case of childbirth with
pathology or complications. This of course cannot be taken as proof, since precise
statistical details are not available.
In contrast with this, the author has not seen any substantial effect on the course of
primary chronic polyarthritis (in rheumatism of the small joints of hands and feet,
with wandering pains). This may be due to the fact that primary chronic arthritis involves
severe degenerative damage to the pituitary-adrenocortical axis, so that too
little cortisone is produced, since medicinal doses of cortisone remove all the symptoms
in a short space of time. Unfortunately this is not permanent and at the same
time there is the threat of side-effects from the cortisone.
Nevertheless in such cases Caulophyllum should be used as a long-term therapy
and, supported by implants of fresh/frozen/dried pituitary and adrenal cells, it can be
of tremendous benefit.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Caulophyllum thalictroides,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for caulophyllum thalictroides: disorders affecting menstruation and
the uterus; dystocia; rheumatism of the finger and toe joints.
Causticum – Potassium Hydrate
The attenuations are prepared from Hahnemann’s causticum according to Homeopathic
Pharmacopoeia.
Hahnemann’s Causticum is one of the most controversial homoeopathic remedies
since, from a purely chemical point of view, it ought to be simply distilled water.
Causticum is produced by leaving a piece of calcium oxide for one minute in dis-
217
tilled water, and then placing it in a dry bowl, where this lime disintegrates into
powder. Then follows a distillation of a mixture of this powder with the same quantity
of potassium hydrogen sulphate, which is mixed to a thick paste in a warmed
porcelain mortar, the potassium salt having first been brought to red-heat, melted,
cooled, pulverised and dissolved in boiling water. The distillate is mixed with the
same amount by weight of 90% ethanol and filtered.
In spite of the controversy over the pharmaceutical action of Hahnemann’s Causticum,
this remedy is in constant use by numerous homoeopaths as a highly effective
polychrest. Nor should there be any doubt as to the fact that when the indications are
right, the action ascribed to Causticum can be reproduced. This applies e.g. in the
treatment of burns, where Causticum’s action can be lifesaving. On the other hand
the remedy-picture contains such characteristic symptoms and disease-states, that it
would be utterly astonishing if the cure of many conditions which are often intransigent
and have been going on for weeks, and for which Causticum is indicated, e.g.
weakness of the bladder sphincter, rheumatic complaints, hoarseness etc., which
have not responded to other remedies, or only temporarily so, and then got better in
a flash under Causticum, were simply the result of the power of suggestion.
The remedy-picture of Causticum embraces complaints of a neuralgic-rheumatic
nature with restlessness and tearing pains in the nerves and muscles, especially at
night and in the legs, possibly associated with paralytic conditions, e.g. Bell’s palsy
after exposure to cold east winds. Causticum symptoms are often brought on by dry
cold. This is the case with hoarseness and laryngitis, dryness and rawness in the
throat, and pain on coughing, possibly extending down one side into the abdomen
just above the hip. The coughing is relieved by a sip of cold water (the opposite of
Spongia, where the coughing is ameliorated by hot drinks). In addition, Causticum
has in its symptom-picture a typical stiffness in the joints, in the whole musculature,
in the back, the sacrum, especially when sitting up in bed or on standing up after sitting
for a long while, as in Rhus Tox. Warts are frequently present on the face and
hands, dry, hard warts, rhagades, fissures, herpes, especially on the hands, and also
Dupuytren’s contracture.
The Causticum patient generally feels worse in dry, cold air (east wind), but is
very comfortable in the warmth. Also striking in the Causticum patient is a high degree
of weakness, often associated with trembling and an unsteady gait, so that the
patient stumbles easily. Causticum is especially indicated in enuresis, above all in
pregnancy and post partum, particularly in stress-incontinence, but also in nocturnal
enuresis, when the urine is passed involuntarily during first sleep.
Burning pains, like raw flesh, are typical of Causticum. Stomach pains, (e.g.) of
this kind can respond extraordinarily well to Causticum. In such cases the patients
complain of a sensation as if everything were sore and raw, or as if lime were being
slaked in the stomach. The sensation of soreness and rawness of the mucosa, in the
larynx, stomach and other areas (e.g. also in the fingertips), is typical of Causticum.
Ptosis is also a typical Causticum symptom, so that it is frequently indicated after
apoplexy (as with Gelsemium). The typical Causticum pareses are mainly localised
on the right side (in contrast with the Lachesis pareses which are more on the left).
218
Causticum’s emotional mood corresponds to hopelessness, melancholy, sadness and
depression, everything being seen from the black side; often there is an underlying
chronic worry or cause of concern.
Causticum can also be useful in incipient glaucoma, since the remedy-picture contains
the symptom “as of a mist or a cloud in front of the eye.”
A few further symptoms include yellowness of the complexion, and pains in the
face of a neuralgic nature, possibly associated with facial paralysis and also with
stiffness of the jaw, so that the mouth cannot be opened, a state such as one may find
at the onset of tetanus, for example.
The Causticum tongue is coated white at the edges and red in the middle, but this
is not such a distinct red streak as in Veratrum Viride.
The stool-symptoms correspond to tenesmus, with fruitless urging and constipation,
similar to Nux Vomica. The stool can be passed better when standing. There are
also haemorrhoids in the picture, with the typical feeling of rawness, which is aggravated
by walking, thinking of it, speaking or even exertion of the voice. Beside
the weakness of the bladder sphincter muscle, Causticum has a typical feeling of
rawness or roughness and also an itching at the urethral orifice, with constant fruitless
tenesmus, urination only being possible drop by drop. Most Causticum patients
are overloaded with uric acid and urates, resulting in thick sediments of varying
colours in the urine.
On account of the symptoms of tiredness, painful and battered sensations and pain
in the chest, Causticum is an excellent remedy in influenza, along with Eupatorium
Perfoliatum, Rhus Toxicodendron, Aconitum and others. Causticum complements
Rhus Tox. and Sulphur well, especially in the treatment of rheumatism and chronic
gouty illnesses, when the joints crack on motion. In rheumatism and arthritis there is
also the burning sensation of rawness which is so characteristic of Causticum.
Like Sulphur, Causticum is also able to bring out suppressed eczema, i.e. to resolve
suppressive (retoxic) phases and bring about a healing which is biologically correct.
Thus one may describe Causticum as an anti-psoric. Equally it would be right to
classify it as anti-sycotic, since it is often extremely effective in treating warts.
Thus Causticum is one of the most important homoeopathic polychrests, and may
be used as a thoroughly effective antihomotoxic in numerous impregnation phases.
An example would be asthma which is better in dull, damp weather (as is the case
with Nux Vomica, where as a general modality we have aggravation from clear, fine
weather). If we classify all the symptoms once again, we have the following outline: - Weakness associated with trembling, and with unsteadiness while walking, possibly
to the point of paralysis, especially localised on the right side. - Local pareses, e.g. of the vocal cords, muscles of deglutition, the eyelids, the
bladder sphincter, musculature of the extremities, and Bell’s palsy. - Neuralgias of an intransigent nature, likewise arthroses and rheumatic symptoms.
Chronic polyarthritis with cracking and raw pains in the joints. Dull pains
in limbs and back, and in the sacrum. Paralysed sensation. Rheumatic and gouty
inflammations with stiffness of the joints.
219 - Typical soreness as of raw flesh, or as if lime were being slaked in the stomach.
Soreness in very varied areas. - Melancholy mood, hopelessness, looking on the black side, sadness, consequences
of chronic worry. - Formation of glaucoma, like fog or a cloud in front of the eyes. Tinnitus like the
echo of one’s own voice. Often marked flushing of the ears. - Sickly yellow complexion with facial pains or neuralgia, caused rheumatically
or retoxically. Stiffness of the jaws with trismus (lock-jaw). - Paralysis of the tongue or indistinct speech. Tongue coated white at the edges
and red in the middle. Burning throat-pains like raw flesh with tickling and dry,
protracted coughing with some expectoration at the end. - When Sulphur does not work in similar conditions, Causticum is often the remedy.
- Gastric catarrhs with sensation of rawness, likewise haemorrhoids, inflamed,
itching, painful. Itching of the urethral orifice, tenesmus of urine, tenesmus at
stool, fruitless. Raw pain in the bladder, enuresis day or night. Stress incontinence
of urine, especially on coughing, blowing the nose, sneezing. - Hoarseness with coughing, ameliorated by a sip of cold water. Battered feeling
in influenza. - Dry, hard warts on the hands and face. Papilloma.
- All complaints are ameliorated in dull, damp weather. Aggravation in dry, fine
weather (Asthma, rheumatism, etc.).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Causticum hahnemanni, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for causticum: disorders of the respiratory passages; disorders of the urinary
tract, chronic eczema; chronic disorders belonging to the field of rheumatic diseases;
spasmodic contractions; paralysis; emotional discord or upset.
Ceanothus Americanus – New Jersey Tea/Red-Root
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried leaves of the plant, Ceanothus
americanus L., a native of North America. N.O. Rhamnaceae.
The main indications are:
Complaints of the spleen. Tangled sensation in the left hypochondrium, with airhunger.
Tumour of the spleen.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ceanothus americanus, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for ceanothus americanus: enlargement of the spleen.
220
Cedron – Cedar
The mother tincture is prepared from the cotelydons of the ripe seeds of the tree,
Simarouba cedron Planch., which is native to tropical America. N.O. Simarubaceae.
The main indications are:
Neuralgias and intermittent fever recurring with precise periodicity.
In America Cedron was formerly used as a reliable antidote to rattlesnake poison,
being used internally and externally immediately after the bite. It also has a reputation
there in marsh fever and in intermittent fever, i.e. in symptoms which recur periodically,
including trigeminal neuralgia, especially on the left side and around the
eye. However it also has a beneficial effect in nerve-pains of the arms and legs, and
in the neuralgic complaints that accompany iritis and glaucoma. One should not
omit to use Cedron in malaria with tumour of the spleen, anaemia and dropsical
symptoms, and particularly in fevers which recur daily between 13:00 and 18:00.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Simarouba cedron, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cedron: periodic neuralgia; fever; intermittent episodes of fever.
Cepa – Onion
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh bulb of onion, Allium cepa L. This
is cultivated in kitchen gardens. N.O. Liliaceae.
The main indications are:
Acute fluent coryza. Acute cystitis. Laryngitis with violent, rending pain on
coughing, must grasp the larynx with the hand. Thread-like pain in facial neuralgia.
Panaritium with violent pains. Causalgias.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Allium cepa, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cepa: cold with runny nose; inflammations of the respiratory passages; flatulent
colic; neuralgia.
221

Diseases of the motor system. Menière’s syndrome. Vertigo. Hyperemesis gravidarum.
Sea and travel sickness. Sleeplessness.
Cerebrum Suis – Brain
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh cerebral brain-tissue
of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
States of mental exhaustion and disturbances in development. Functional weakness
and circulatory disturbances of the brain. Progressive paralysis (retrospective
treatment). Paraplegia. Arteriosclerotic dementia. Encephalomalacia.

222
Cerebrum Totalis Suis – Whole Brain
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from tissue from the whole fresh
brain of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
Indications are as for Cerebrum or Cerebrum Frontalis.
Cerium Oxalicum – Cerous Oxalate
The attenuations of this remedy are prepared from a trituration of Cerium(III)-oxalate,
Ce2 (C2O4)3 · x H2O, MW: 544.3.
The main indications are:
Chronic vomiting. Hyperemesis.
Cerium Oxalicum has also proved its worth generally in chronic vomiting, above
all when undigested food is vomited. It should also be tried in sea-sickness and in
vomiting of T.B. and cancer patients who are said no longer to be able to keep down
any food.
Cerium salts also have the quality of promoting the utilisation of oxygen in the tissues.
Thus Cerium oxalicum may also be used generally as an intercurrent remedy
in the treatment of neoplasms, of pre-cancerous states, and in degeneration phases.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cerium oxalicum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cerium oxalicum: vomiting; paroxysmal coughing; dysmenorrhoea.
Chamomilla – German Chamomile
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole plant when in flower. Chamomilla
recutita L. N.O. Compositae.
The homoeopathic remedy Chamomilla is made from German Chamomile, wellknown
as one of the most important home-remedies in folk medicine (e.g. as
chamomile tea.) Chamomile is particularly suited to states of nervous agitation as a
tranquillising remedy. Patients are irritable, bad-tempered, irascible, spiteful and impertinent:
an emotional state which is found in naughty children of every age, and
especially in teething infants. In the latter, one cheek is red and the other pale. The
children scream at the slightest cause, maybe incessantly. There may often be associated
fever or diarrhoea. The typical mood of Chamomilla is often found in vague
headaches and earaches, for which Chamomilla is then a specific remedy. The typi-
223
cal moodiness of Chamomilla is not only found in sick children, but in every agegroup.
When the emotional state is characterised by anger and vexation, the choice
lies between Colocynthis, Bryonia, Aconitum, Ignatia, Nux Vomica and Staphisagria,
besides Chamomilla, which is often the preferred remedy.
It follows that pain is an indication for Chamomilla, and typically the pain bears
no relationship to the severity of the case. For Chamomilla patients are particularly
hypersensitive and cannot bear pain. In such cases, moreover, all analgesics, painkillers
and suchlike usually fail completely. However, if Chamomilla is the simillimum
– and such cases are by no means rare – then Chamomilla will usually work
faster and more thoroughly than even morphia. After one dose of Chamomilla the
pains usually die away in a very short time.
The painful states in which Chamomilla can successfully be used are not restricted
to neuralgias, but may also occur in childbirth, toothache, catarrhs of the middle ear,
rheumatism and others. Chamomilla can always be used when patients exhibit the
typical hypersensitivity of the Chamomilla patient; this often occurs in coffee
drinkers and after the abuse of stimulant drugs.
A further characteristic of the typical Chamomilla pains is that they may be accompanied
by a certain numbness, which Nash too picks out as typical of the remedy.
The typical Chamomilla pains may also be accompanied by states of paralysis.
An important modality of the Chamomilla picture is the peculiarity that the pains are
aggravated by warmth and that they are not ameliorated by cold applications, as
would be the case in typical Pulsatilla pains. Generally the Chamomilla patient is extremely
sensitive to cold. Indeed, complaints may be directly caused by cold. Sleeplessness
too is susceptible to Chamomilla, if it is coupled with great restlessness, as
is also found in Aconitum, Arsenicum and Rhus Tox. The Chamomilla patient must
run around at night-time, rather like the Ferrum Metallicum patient. Children will
not settle down until they have been picked up and carried around.
The characteristic nervous hypersensitivity of Chamomilla is extremely prominent
in small children and infants. In this respect there are similarities between
Chamomilla and Calcium Carbonicum, such as head-sweats, wetting the hair; however,
unlike the sweat of Calcium Carbonicum, it is warm. Abdominal pains are also
part of the Chamomilla picture.
The typical Chamomilla earaches are pressive and tearing, forcing the patient to
cry out, and the ears are especially sensitive to cold air. The typical Chamomilla
toothache is aggravated by warm drinks or food. Facial sweating after eating or
drinking is also a characteristic Chamomilla symptom.
When toothache is present, there is also a sensation as if the teeth were too long.
During teething there is diarrhoea with hot, green stools which are watery and excoriating
and smell like rotten eggs. Chamomilla is indicated in intertrigo of infants,
and in inflammatory illnesses such as otitis media, glandular swellings, umbilical
colic, biliary colic and irritation, and cramping labour-pains. The pain is so unbearable
that the patient is obliged to cry out.
In Chamomilla patients there is often a bitter taste, the tongue is coated and there
224
is halitosis. Rheumatic complaints are also in the picture, and Chamomilla is indicated
for arthritis of the shoulders.
If we briefly sum up the symptoms of Chamomilla, we have a remedy-picture of
many aspects: - Hypersensitivity to every pain, with irritability, spitefulness, irascibility, and possible
numbness and a paralysed sensation. - Inflammatory illness (reaction phases), with emotional overtones, e.g. dentition,
otitis media, gastroenteritis, dyspepsia, umbilical colic, and other painful conditions,
e.g. arthritis of the shoulder-joints, cramping labour-pains. Children in
these states want to be carried about. - One cheek is hot and red, the other cold and pale. Head-sweats in which the hair
is wet-through. - Neuralgias, rheumatism and pains oblige the patient to cry out.
- Bitter taste. Coated tongue. halitosis. Stools like chopped eggs or chopped
spinach, excoriating. - Metrorrhagia with dark, coagulated blood and attacks of cramp. Menstrual colic
after vexation. - Labour-pains pressing upwards and along the inside of the thighs, with rigidity
of the os and unbearable pain. Unbearable after-pains. - Dry, tickling cough in sleep, which does not wake; worse in winter and wet
weather. The body is cold and chilly, whereas the face and breath are hot (opposite
of Carbo Veg.). - Otitis media with violent episodes of pain. Glandular swellings as in scrofula,
and umbilical colics. Biliary colic with unbearable pains and irritation. Aggravated
by vexation, agitation and warmth. At the same time, sensitivity to cold. - Mainly suited to children and women, but can be used in males where indicated.
- Restlessness, must get out of bed at night, running about. Can get no rest on account
of the rheumatic neuralgic pains.
The prescription of Chamomilla according to the indications given above is often
overlooked because, in spite of the emotional overtones, Chamomilla states may
occur along with quite grave indications. This, even though Chamomilla is, in principle,
a nerve-remedy, indicated for easy agitation without any pre-existing organic
problem, and although in almost all Chamomilla cases the decision to give
Chamomilla is based on the discrepancy between the objective findings and the presenting
emotional state of the patient. The action of Chamomilla takes effect in most
cases so convincingly and characteristically that, in doubtful cases, it ought to be
tried experimentally at least, before serious measures such as surgery are resorted to.
If the action does not take place instantly, or after one or two doses, then there is still
time for further therapeutic measures to be undertaken.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Chamomilla recutita, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for chamomilla: inflammation of the respiratory organs; teething prob-
225
lems; inflammation and cramps of the digestive organs and of the female reproductive
organs; intense conditions of pain; irritable emotional discord or upset.
Chelidonium – Greater Celandine
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock, including roots, of Chelidonium
majus L. N.O. Papaveraceae.
The plant Chelidonium majus, the greater celandine, a member of the papaveraceae
family, grows in Europe, Southern Asia and Africa as a weed in hedgerows, at
the edges of fields and on rubbish tips. If one breaks off the light yellow petals, the
leaves, the stems or the cylindrical, multi-headed root with numerous long threads
attached, a yellowish milky sap runs out, which accounts for the popular belief that
the celandine has a healing action in liver and biliary conditions. The yellowish
milky sap looks similar to bile, which results in certain relationships between Chelidonium
and diseases of the biliary system in the context of the doctrine of signatures.
One of the main symptoms of Celandine, as established in the homoeopathic provings,
is in fact a liver/bile symptom, namely a violent, sharp or dull persistent pain at
the lower inner angle of the right shoulder-blade. The pains extend possibly as far as
the area of the right side of the rib-arch, or may extend on from there. In Chelidonium
we find particularly right-sided complaints, which seem to have some connection
with the liver. A rheumatic pain in the right shoulder-joint also often responds
well to Chelidonium, just as in many cases a right-sided supra-orbital neuralgia demands
Chelidonium as its remedy. Chelidonium is also helpful in right-sided pneumonia,
which may occur as a consequence of liver disturbance or be complicated by
it. It will also help in rheumatic complaints which extend to the hips, thighs and feet
and occur in particular on the right-hand side, the right foot often being icy-cold
while the left, on the contrary, has its natural warmth.
As a further symptom of Chelidonium we must mention the bitter taste, likewise a
symptom of liver-involvement, when the tongue frequently has a thick yellow coating
with red edges, showing the imprint of teeth, similar to Mercurius.
Icterus, associated with violent itching of the skin, and other evidence of biliary
colouring (in the urine etc.), is likewise an indication for Chelidonium. Thus Chelidonium
is also indicated when the stools are clay-coloured or golden yellow, or
when the urine is lemon-yellow or dark brown, because of the presence of biliary
colouring. This is often accompanied by loss of appetite, linked with disgust for
food, nausea and vomiting of bile. The patient vomits everything except hot drinks.
Chelidonium is also a characteristic liver-gall remedy, with a typical therapeutic
range, indicated as a basic medicament in cholangitis, cholecystitis and cholelithiasis,
with the higher potencies having often done better work than the more usual low
226
ones, especially also in painful crises and colics. If we outline the symptom-picture
of Chelidonium, the following table is the result: - Liver and bile remedy. Cholelithiasis. Cholecystitis. Cholangitis. Mucous icterus
and icterus in biliary obstruction. - Pains below the angle of the right shoulder-blade and below the right side of the
rib arch, possibly moving about and extending. Biliary colic. Pains are ameliorated
by hot drinks. - Bitter taste. Vomiting of bitter quantities of bile. All food is vomited; hot drinks
are kept down. - Rheumatic complaints in the right shoulder-blade and neuralgic pains above the
right eye and in the right temple. - Migraine on the right side occuring after dietary indiscretion, vexation, etc.
- Right-sided pneumonia and other right-sided complaints, e.g. of a rheumatic kind
in the hip and right leg. - The right foot is cold, the left is warm with normal circulation.
In liver and biliary illnesses of the kind described, which pathologically may be attributed
in almost every case to ingestion of sutoxin and which are maintained by
continuing consumption of sutoxin, Chelidonium is one of the most important remedies,
bearing in mind the pattern of food-consumption in the widest sections of
today’s population. Certainly Chelidonium can do good work in the low potencies,
e.g. 2X to 4X, but especially in the chronic cases which we encounter in large numbers,
and also in colics, a better action is obtained from the use of higher potencies.
Good complementary and following remedies for Chelidonium are Lycopodium and
Belladonna. Both remedies are mainly right-sided, Lycopodium improving the liverfunction
and Belladonna combatting spastic and inflammatory symptoms. Thus it is
recommended in many cases to use these two remedies in alternation with Chelidonium,
possibly also in combination, thus reinforcing the effect.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of

China – Peruvian Bark
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried bark of younger trunks and older
branches of the tree, Cinchona succirubra Pav. ex Klotzsch, syn: Cinchona pubescens
Vahl, which grows wild in the Andes and is cultivated in the East Indies, on
Java in particular. N.O. Rubiaceae.
The China-bark tree, Cinchona succirubra, a member of the Rubiaceae family,
growing in Peru and Bolivia, in India, and above all on Java, is well-known as the
source of one of the most important remedies, from which quinine is obtained, formerly
used as a specific against malaria. Peruvian bark was used as a folk medicine
for fever, particularly undulating fever, but also as bitters for the production of varieties
of gin and for taking in states of exhaustion. In homoeopathy, China is used
less as a fever-remedy, and more in states of weakness and anaemia after losses of
vital fluids of all kinds. Indications would be substantial loss of blood, loss of vital
fluids in breast-feeding, suppurations, chronic diarrhoea, galactorrhoea, excessive
salivation, leucorrhoea, spermatorrhoea, etc. Consequences of sudden evacuations of
vital fluids may include fainting, ringing in the ears or loss of vision.
China symptoms are characterised by a pale, yellowish face with sunken eyes having
dark rings around them, by pulsating headaches, and by light perspiration on the
slightest movement or exertion, also night-sweats. An anaemic headache with airhunger
is characteristic, associated with general lability of the vascular nervous
228
mechanism, with congestions of the head and chest, with pulsation of the carotid arteries,
and possibly with oedema. There is also a tendency to profuse haemorrhage
of dark blood from various organs. If these have been temporarily treated with some
haemostatic, then after a dose of China has been given they may reappear if China is
given in too low a dosage. Thus it has generally proved expedient, where haemorrhage
is present, first of all to treat the haemorrhage symptomatically (e.g. with
preparations of Cinnamomum), and only to use China later on in order to remove the
secondary anaemia.
As a consequence of the humoral dystonia resulting from the loss of vital fluids,
the China picture also includes disturbances of liver-function, with loss of appetite,
emaciation, sensation of a lump beneath the sternum (as in Pulsatilla), abdominal
distension, loss of appetite after a few mouthfuls, and eructations bringing only temporary
relief. Food is mostly vomited undigested. There is thirst for cold water and
craving for spirits and sugar (similar to Argentum Nitricum). Icterus may occur too,
and there may be gall-stones and reduced excretion of uric acid, possibly linked
with intestinal spasms and offensive flatus. The diarrhoea is painless, occurs after
eating and at night, especially after eating fruit, and includes particles of undigested
food.
Whereas the episodes of fever, such as periodically occur in malaria, may be cured
in rare cases by China tincture, a suppression of the fever can possibly be achieved
with Chininum Sulphuricum in allopathic dosage, whilst this preparation is used,
from a homoeopathic point of view, in tinnitus, e.g. in Ménière’s syndrome. The
fevers which respond to China are extraordinarily characteristic, the fever worsening
day by day. This worsening of symptoms progressively from day to day is characteristic
not only of the fever, but also of headache and other conditions of whatever
kind which occur in a daily-changing rhythm. Nash reports having had numerous
disappointments with China in the treatment of undulant fever, whereas with other
remedies, e.g. Eupatorium Perfoliatum, Natrum Muriaticum or Arsenicum Album,
his treatments produced good results.
It might also be mentioned that it was through an experiment with Peruvian bark
on himself that Hahnemann discovered the homoeopathic Law of Similars. After
taking Peruvian bark he produced symptoms of intermittent fever. He had been encouraged
to carry out his first experiment in the history of medicine by reading a
note in Cullen’s Materia Medica, saying that China was capable of causing, as well
as healing, fever, reputedly through its influence on gastric function.
The weakness which is native to China patients is also characterised
by susceptibility to draughts and touch, the scalp being particularly sensitive, as
if the hair were sore. Firm pressure, on the other hand, as with Bryonia, usually
gives relief. There is a typical weakness between the shoulder-blades, suggestive
of Scheuermann’s disease. China is also effective in spondylitis, if symptoms
of weakness predominate. The patient is fatigued, feels miserable and lacking
in energy, so that he is incapable of making the necessary corrections to his
posture.
229
We must also mention a certain sensitivity in the left hypogastrium, corresponding
roughly to the position of the spleen, and possibly associated with painless diarrhoea
of undigested food, with flatulent distension and eructations which bring only temporary
relief or none at all, (unlike Carbo Veg. and Argentum Nitricum), and discharge
of offensive flatus, as already mentioned.
If the main symptoms of China are categorised, we have the following essential
picture of the remedy: - States of exhaustion and weakness after loss of any kind of vital fluids. Loss of
appetite. Secondary anaemia. Weakness between the shoulder-blades, cannot sit
without support for the back. Scheuermann’s disease. Exhausted state in
spondylitis. - Functional disturbances of the liver and irritation in the biliary system. Cholelithiasis,
cholangitis and cholecystitis. Liver and spleen swollen and sensitive. Icterus.
Illnesses of gall and spleen. - Abdominal distension with eructations which do not relieve. Tendency to painless
diarrhoea with undigested food and offensive flatulence. - Chronic neuralgias and other complaints which worsen every second or third day.
Sensitivity, especially of the scalp, to touch and draught. - Desire for coffee. Sensitivity to cold. Tendency to profuse haemorrhages.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cinchona succirubra, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for china: feverish episodes; general blood poisoning; inflammations of the
respiratory passages; acute diarrhoea; digestive insufficiency; biliary colic; mucosal
bleeding; anaemia; general enervation/exhaustion; rashes; neuralgia.
Chinhydron – Quinhydrone
The attenuations are prepared from Quinhydrone C6H4O2 · C6H6O2 , MW: 218.2.
As a quinone preparation it is able to act as a catalyst on the respiratory chain; acts
as an intermediary catalyst and is indicated in all cellular phases, including neoplasm
phases and viral diseases. (Only infrequent doses, let it work on for months!).
In practice it has proved necessary in almost every case to couple Quinhydrone
with a homoeopathic metal e.g. Aurum, Argentum, Ferrum, the Mercury group and
others, and we find that Quinhydrone does its best work when combined with Hydroquinone
and para-Benzoquinone (the latter from 10X upwards) at the same time.
Quinhydrone is particularly indicated in retoxic phases i.e. after infections have
been suppressed by chemotherapeutic and allopathic drugs. That also applies to
other iatrogenic damage, i.e. the whole range of cellular phases in chronic disease.
If catalysts of the Citric Acid cycle appear not to act, then they can be reactivated
again by Quinhydrone in the same potency. In many cases it can be combined with
230
Natrum Pyruvicum in injection. Quinhydrone can also be used to slow down overreactions
to para-Benzoquinone. Sensitivity to weather can also be beneficially affected
after frequent doses.
This remedy is complemented by Sulphur, and by all homoeopathic remedies
which have aggravation from wet weather, such as Kalmia, Dulcamara, Rhus Tox.,
Rhododendron, Medorrhinum, Bryonia, etc.
Good combinations result from Phosphoricum Acidum and Quinhydrone from 6X
upwards, in such conditions as sclerosis of the brain with tinnitus, labyrinthine vertigo,
mental deterioration, school headache, and after mental exertion with sleeplessness.
Even the chronic forms of bronchitis which have been treated with antibiotics respond
to Quinhydrone, as do dry catarrhs of the nasal mucosa with burning, watery,
fluent coryza, chronic laryngitis, pharyngitis with clearing of the throat and dry tickling
cough. It should also be tried in cancer of the larynx, and in emphysema, especially
combined with Tuberculinum. If Quinhydrone is prescribed after antibiotic
treatment of pneumonias, then the accumulation of homotoxins may be released in
one mighty elimination. Likewise, Quinhydrone can be effective when unpleasant
complaints persist in the throat area after tonsillectomy.
Quinhydrone should always be used when well-selected remedies fail to act, e.g.
in disorders of accommodation, in cataract, in otosclerosis and tinnitus, diminution
of sense of smell, disturbances of coordination, in hyperactive children (in combination
with Stramonium and Hyoscyamus), and in vaccination damage to small children,
affecting the sensory organs.
Good results have also been obtained from a combination of Vitamin B12, 12X,
with Quinhydrone 12X or 6X, e.g. in anxiety states in darkness, the striking pallor
always being typical in critical stages of disease. Coupled with Hydroquinone and
Fumaricum Acidum 12X, Quinhydrone is indicated in vascular diseases such as polyarteritis
nodosa, arteriosclerotic dementia, intermittent claudication (“smoker’s
leg”), thromboses, and thrombophlebitis where the affected parts are snowy-white
and ice-cold (not purple), and also in shock following myocardial infarction.
Quinhydrone also facilitates rapid resorption of haemorrhages following injuries
and contusions. In migraines, frequent doses are needed, whilst para-Benzoquinone
and Hydroquinone require frequent doses initially and should then later on be injected
at longer intervals.
Intestinal illnesses with the danger of malignant degeneration require very frequent
prescriptions of quinones, along with sarcodes, Arsenicum Album, insecticide
preparations, para-Benzoquinone, Hydroquinone, and especially also Anthraquinone
and Quinhydrone in alternation.
Cradle-cap has its origins in an allergy arising in the alimentary canal, an allergy
to the albumen in the Mother’s milk, which the infant was not able to digest properly,
having been put to the breast before adequate enzymes were present. In this condition
a single dose of Quinhydrone, Ubiquinone, Anthraquinone and para-Benzoquinone
may possibly achieve a fundamental change. Likewise, infectious diseases
of the gastro intestinal tract need quinones, especially Anthraquinone in combination
231
with Quinhydrone, as do hepatoses and conditions following infectious hepatitis,
and liver damage, chronic cholecystitis, cholangitis, pylorospasm of infants and recurring
gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Quinhydrone should be given in combination with Apis and Apisin in kidney-diseases,
when too little urine is excreted during heavy sweating and no hypertension
exists in spite of renal insufficiency; also in eclampsia and uraemia. In these conditions
a combined injection of Hydroquinone, para-Benzoquinone and Quinhydrone
is recommended.
Quinhydrone is also helpful in complaints of pregnancy with kidney conditions,
and in all consequences of prior gonorrhoea or trichomonas infections following antibiotic
or antifungal therapy.
In all types and stages of abdominal cancer, after Quinhydrone there may occur an
elimination of large quantities of serous or purulent discharge. (As this is the body
unloading homotoxins, the process must not be impeded in any way).
In breast cancer with hard, thick tumours projecting roughly from the surface,
which are no longer operable, a combination of Quinhydrone, Hydroquinone and
Asparaginicum Acidum could still bring about a change, provided the cancer has not
progressed too far.
In chronic, rheumatic and arthritic diseases of the joints with a tendency to stiffen
up (primary polyarthritis), and also in severe forms of arthroses with intolerable
nightly pains, Quinhydrone is a good catalyst for Syphilinum (nightly bone-pains
with aggravation in wet weather).
Acute episodes of rheumatic polyarthritis with fever and extreme hyperaesthesia
of the affected parts, so that not even the bedclothes can be tolerated, may possibly
be decisively influenced by an injection of the available quinones plus Malicum
Acidum and Quinhydrone, without antibiotics or the danger of a recurrence. At least
this possibility should be tried.
Quinhydrone is also indicated, in combination with para-Benzoquinone, in chronic
lichenified eczemas, possibly of allergic origin, and also in psoriasis with violent
itching which gives the patient no rest at night.
Quinhydrone works best where there is pallor, rather than flushing, of the skin.
Quinhydrone acts in combination with Benzoquinone in cases of damage to the skin
by aniline dyes and eczema of the elbows in metal-workers, whilst acne vulgaris
calls for the use of Ubiquinone, Cerumen or Comedones along with Quinhydrone.
Clearly, the catalysts of the Citric Acid cycle and the quinones are activated by
Quinhydrone, and the predisposition to cancer is reversed. Damage following
X-ray/Radium therapy can also be compensated by Quinhydrone, in alternation with
Causticum.

Chionanthus virginicus L., a native of North America and Europe. N.O. Oleaceae.
The main indications are:
Liver remedy. Cholangitis. Diabetes mellitus.
A characteristic of Chionanthus is the apathy and a dull frontal headache above
the root of the nose, above the eyes and in the temples, aggravated by climbing
stairs and changes of mood. There are frequently symptoms of icterus, such as yellow
sclera, and frequent passing of urine containing sugar and of high specific gravity.
There are also enlargement of the liver and pains in the area of the gall-bladder;
233
likewise constipation. The stools are clay-coloured and contain undigested food.
Chionanthus is also recommended for swollen liver following malaria, and in gallstones.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Chionanthus virginicus, published

The main indications are:
Severe catarrhal conditions of the upper respiratory tract. Vasomotor rhinitis.
Typical of Chlorum is the sudden air-hunger resulting from spasms of the vocal
cords, with episodes of suffocation and cramps of the glottis. This is accompanied
by great dryness of the tongue, and also coryza with headache.
Sooty, scarred nostrils, such as are found in typhus, point to this remedy. The patient
is usually emotionally altered, is afraid of going crazy and forgets names and people. In
typhus, when the nasal symptoms mentioned above occur, Chlorum should be used.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Chlorum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for chlorum:
acute laryngitis.
234

cholesterinum: liver disorders and elevated cholesterol levels in blood.
Cicuta Virosa – Water Hemlock
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock with attached roots of Cicuta
virosa L., gathered as it is coming into flower. The plant is a native of Europe,
growing by ponds, streams and rivers. N.O. Umbelliferae.
The main indications are:
Sycosis barbae with purulent, crusty discharge. Craving for charcoal and other indigestible
things. Convulsions with worm-infestation. Epileptiform attacks. Meningitis
with hypersensitivity and attacks. Complementary remedy in tuberculous
meningitis. Eczema of the scalp.
Cicuta Virosa is suggested by a creeping sensation in the limbs, by burning, pressing
and tearing sensations in various parts of the body, and sensations of pushing,
jerking and twitching through the whole body, with stiffness and coldness and a
numbness of arms and hands with distended veins. The remedy may also be suggested
by problems of deglutition and violent thirst with lack of appetite, and abnormal
food-cravings such as “hunger for coal”. Cicuta is indicated in a wide variety of
psychoses and conditions of the brain and spinal cord, with cramps, including
teething cramps of small children and infants, possibly caused by worms; there may
also be stomach cramps with haematemesis, paralysis of the bladder and skin diseases
with simultaneous disturbances of the peripheral nervous system. (Try it in syringomyelia.)
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cicuta virosa, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cicuta virosa: pustular dermatitis of the skin and mucosae; spasmodic conditions;
cerebral seizure disorders.
235
Cimicifuga – Black Cohosh
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock with attached roots of
Cimicifuga racemosa [L.] Nutt., which is commonly found growing in hedges and
sparse groves in the eastern states of North America and Canada. N.O. Ranunculaceae.
The homoeopathic indications for Cimicifuga concern mostly nervous illnesses,
the picture being dominated by neuralgic pains and a changed frame of mind with
strong mood-swings and moodiness. Obviously the spinal column plays a considerable
part in many Cimicifuga symptoms as the starting-point of the complaints. In
the remedy-picture we find shooting pains like lightning, neuralgias, and violent
headaches pressing outwards as if the top of the skull were about to fly off, extending
to the eyes and possibly as far as the nose-wings. The pains may also be localised
in the occiput, shooting down the neck, or above the eyes as supra-orbital
neuralgia, localised especially on the left. Likewise there are neuralgias which appear
to originate in the uterus, and also pains in the pleura, nerve and muscle pains
in influenza, sciatic pains, stabbing pains in the heart, a sensation of heaviness in the
left arm suggestive of angina pectoris, and a sensation as if a wedge were being driven
into the head from below at the back, with raging occipital headache and migraine,
particularly on the left. Eye pains occur particularly on turning around. There
is also a sensitivity of the spine, especially in the cervical spine, to pressure with
stiffness and pain along the whole length of the spine with weakness and a battered
sensation in the sacrum, making it impossible to lie on the back.
In the area of the uterus, the Cimicifuga symptoms express themselves in the form
of painful contractions and cramping labour pains, also threatened miscarriage. Here
the pains shoot across from hip to hip. Frequently there is also chronic leucorrhoea
and a bearing down sensation in the uterus (like Sepia and Lilium Tigrinum). In the
ovaries there is neuralgic pain, especially on the left side, like Lachesis. There may
also be amenorrhoea, or complaints which are ameliorated at the beginning or after
the end of the menses. Pituitary disturbances may be suggested by the presence of
either corpulence or emaciation of endocrine origin; so it could be concluded that
Cimicifuga has a special action on the pituitary. However, in the end every medicament,
whether in allopathic or in homoeopathic dosage, has some action on the
mechanism of the pituitary/adrenal axis, so that no final conclusions may be drawn
from the above phenomena.
The muscle-pains of Cimicifuga are charateristic insofar as they occur particularly
in the belly of the muscle.
Also typical of Cimicifuga are certain hysterical signs, finding expression particularly
in the female body. Twitching, cramps, convulsions, neuralgias, as well as a
great variety of mental and emotional symptoms, all have a hysterical character.
Shivering may occur with nervous chill when it is not cold, faint-heartedness being
prominent with an incessant flow of speech, jumping frequently from one theme to
another. The patients are troubled and confused, sighing much (as in Ignatia), or else
236
they exhibit deep depression with sleeplessness, so that they are afraid that they
might be becoming mentally ill (cf. Calcium Carbonicum). Emotional symptoms
may also occur in the form of St. Vitus’ dance, delirium tremens, melancholia or
puerperal psychosis. Otosclerosis and tinnitus are also said to respond to low potencies
of Cimicifuga sometimes.
All complaints are aggravated by cold and wet, and there is likewise an aggravation
before and during the menses.
The following is a summary of the main symptoms of Cimicifuga: - Neuralgic pains, principally originating in the spinal column, shooting, like
lightning. - Supra-orbital neuralgia on the left. Cervical migraine with pains pressing upwards
as if the top of the skull would fly off, possibly extending down to the
nose-wings. - Pains in the pleura; nerve and muscle pains in influenza.
- Uterine pains, cramping labour pains shooting from hip to hip; bearing-down in
the uterus. - Ovarian neuralgia on the left.
- Amenorrhoea, menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea.
- Complaints ameliorated at the onset and after the end of the menses.
- Muscular pains in the belly of the muscle.
- General nervous/hysterical disposition, with twitching, cramps, convulsions, and
a wide variety of mental and emotional symptoms. - Faint-heartedness and incessant flow of speech. Sighing. Puerperal psychosis.
- All complaints aggravated by cold and wet, before and during the menses.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cimicifuga racemosa, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cimicifuga: rheumatic myalgia and myalgia associated with spinal affections;
spasm; cramp (apparently, only for muscles); painful spasmodic conditions
affecting the heart, the gastrointestinal tract, the gallbladder, and the areas of the female
reproductive organs; complaints associated with menstruation, pregnancy, and
menopause; nervous conditions of excitement and depressive emotional discord or
upset.
237
Cina – Worm-Seed
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried, unexpanded flower-heads of the
plant, Artemisia cina O.C. Berg et F.C. Schmidt, which grows in the steppes of Central
Asia, particularly Turkestan. N.O. Compositae.
The main indications are:
Facial pallor. Rims around the eyes. Paroxysms of coughing, ending with a
sneeze. Worm problems. Convulsions from worm-irritation. Whooping cough.
Typical of Cina are twitchings and contortions of the limbs and general convulsions.
A pointer to the remedy can be that in these cramping states the fingers and
toes are not involved.
Another indicator to this remedy can be the appearance of an incipient bulbar
paralysis, with inability to swallow liquids, whilst otherwise it is mainly indicated in
cramps of children, crying out and throwing themselves about during sleep, grinding
the teeth. However, it may also be indicated in episodes of eclampsia, in digestive
disturbances with gluttony and ravenous hunger, in periodic abdominal pains with or
without distension and flatulence, also in whooping cough and enuresis. Numerous
nervous complaints associated with worms are cured by Cina.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Artemisia cina, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cina: intermittent episodes of fever; worms; tendency to spasmodic conditions;
change of voice among children.
Cinnabaris – Cinnabar
The attenuations are prepared from red Mercury(II)-sulphide, HgS, MW: 232.7.
The main indications are:
Sinusitis with offensive discharge. Otitis externa. Old cases of syphilis with skin
eruptions, (pustules, reddish scurf). Pains shooting through the eyeball and around
the eyeball.
Typical of Cinnabaris is a general painfulness of the skull and scalp, and even of
the hair on being touched.
The suddenly occuring pains in various areas of the body in the form of stabbing
and tearing pains to the sides of the spine, in the back and loins and also in the
nerves of the arms, and painful twitching in the lower leg, waking the patient from
sleep, with sensations of numbness and pressure in the foot, all point to involvement
of the vertebrae.
Formerly Cinnabaris was frequently used in problems of syphilitic origin.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
238
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hydrargyrum sulfuratum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cinnabaris: purulent inflammations of the conjunctiva and paranasal
sinus cavities; warts.
Cinnamomum – Cinnamon
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried inner bark of the plant, Cinnamomum
verum J.S. Presl., cultivated in Sri Lanka, India, the Sunda Islands, the Philippines
and Seychelles, in Brazil and Ghana. N.O. Lauraceae.
The main indications are:
Haemorrhage and haemorrhagic tendency, also in oesophageal varices; uterine
haemorrhage with bright red blood, copious and gushing. Post partum. Menses last
8–14 days, followed by leucorrhoea.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cinnamomum zeylanicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cinnamomum: nervous disorders; uterine bleeding.
Cirrhosis Hepatis Nosode – Nosode of Cirrhosis of the Liver
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgically or bioptic removed
tissue of human cirrhotic liver.
In the last few decades there has been a considerable increase in the incidence of
cirrhosis of the liver, which may be attributed not only to considerable alcohol consumption,
but recently also to refinements in diagnostic techniques (liver biopsy)
and probably also to the ever increasing use of chemotherapy in the treatment of
minor diseases, since numerous drugs used in allopathic treatment have a deleterious
effect on the liver, which is shown recently in an increase in the incidence of these
diseases.
Thus the Cirrhosis Hepatis nosode is not only for use where cirrhosis of the liver
is already established, but also in the preliminary stages, e.g. in widely varying kinds
of iatrogenic damage, especially where liver symptoms are in evidence and changes
in the serum proteins can be detected, and in pathological changes in the transaminase
values etc.
The Cirrhosis Hepatis nosode can also make a significant contribution in the treatment
of other illnesses, e.g. in abnormal toxic states of many kinds, since the liver
239
acts as the most important detoxifying point in the body and in cirrhosis this detoxifying
mechanism is considerably disturbed.
One should therefore think of using the Cirrhosis Hepatis nosode in rheumatic
polyarthritis, septic conditions, to support the detoxification of the liver in a wide variety
of chronic conditions in the area of cellular phases, and experimentally in neoplasms
also. Evidence for the use of this nosode exists in the testing procedure for
medicaments developed by Dr. Voll (Plochingen) with the Diatherapunkteur, and
this is also valid for the use of other nosodes.
The remedy may also be tried experimentally in cholangitis and in intrahepatic
cholestasis.
Cistus Canadensis – Rock-Rose
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in bloom of Helianthemum
canadense [L.] Michx., a native of North America. N.O. Cistaceae.
The main indications are:
Eruptions on the hands and fingers. Hard callosities on the palm of the hand, fissures.
Tendency to glandular swellings, scrofula, caries. Cracked skin, fissured,
bleeding easily. Diarrhoea accompanying complaints. Dryness of the oral and pharyngeal
mucosa, throat as if varnished. Every cold goes to the throat. Sensation of
coldness. Cold air is disagreeable.
Characteristic symptoms of Cistus Canadensis are the aggravation of complaints
by unpleasant excitement and changes of mood, as well as the most extreme sensitivity
to draughts, and a sensation of coldness in the chest.
As well as in catarrhal conditions and rheumatic/neuralgic complaints (including
neuralgia in the arm), Cistus is indicated in herpes zoster and vesicular eczema, and
also in colic with diarrhoea and in swelling of the lymph-nodes.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Helianthemum canadense, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cistus canadensis: itching lichenoid skin diseases; lymphadenitis; mastitis;
pulmonary diseases.
240
Citricum Acidum – Citric Acid
The attenuations are prepared from anhydrous Citric acid, C6H8O7, MW: 192.1.
An active factor in the Citric Acid cycle and in redox systems. Impregnation phases
of all kinds, also asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis, precancerous
states and in neoplasm phases (especially in the early stages), to improve
cell-respiration.
Difficult respiration, aggravated on becoming warm, is typical. As in Carbo Vegetabilis,
the patient constantly desires fresh air. Thus Citric Acid has a close affinity
for respiratory disturbances in the case of tumours, and is also indicated for cancer
pains (Boericke).
The patient makes grandiose plans, with steadily increasing cheerfulness and decreasing
energy. Alcohol and sugar disagree.
Arteriosclerosis with lapses of memory.
Citric Acid is also helpful in certain complaints arising from Vitamin C deficiency; in
spite of a high level of care, children fail to thrive and the oxygenisation of the tissues
is insufficient. Old people are only half-awake and repeat every question ten times.
Also characteristic is a total loss of libido. Impotence in men. Infertility. Frigidity.
Post-gonorrhoeal state. Hands and feet are cold and damp. Consequences of overdosing
with Vitamin D. Dental problems and gingivitis. Scurvy. Blackening of teeth
and heavy deposits of dental plaque.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum citricum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
acidum citricum: bleeding gums; tabetic disorders.
The drug picture of Acidum citricum was composed in March 1996 by David
Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:
Essential Characteristics
Generalized sensation of heat or in the face with fever and sweating. Cramping in

Clematis – Virgin’s Bower
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh stems with leaves and flowers,
gathered at the beginning of flowering of the plant, Clematis recta L., which grows
on sunny hillsides and sparse bushy country in Central and Southern Europe. N.O.
Ranunculaceae.
The main indications are:
Chronic bladder irritation; dribbling of urine after urination. Hypertrophy of the
prostate. Epididymitis. Swelling of the inguinal glands. Urethral stricture. Gouty
tophi. Oozing, vesicular eczema. Eruption on the occiput, with violent itching.
Painfulness of the urethra on external pressure indicates Clematis, as do a spasmodic
narrowing and contraction of the urethra with purulent discharge (urethritis),
tenesmus of urine and pain on urination (cf. Cantharis), with the urine passing by fits
and starts and at intevals, and the urine dribbling involuntarily afterwards.
A further typical symptom is a great sensitivity to cool air, especially on baring the
body. Very sensitive pustular eruptions, characterised by burning, stinging pains,
and also pustules, proceed in many cases with inflammatory swellings of the neighbouring
lymph-nodes, with the glandular lobules beneath the nipple possibly also
being indurated.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Clematis recta, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
clematis: rashes; swelling of the lymph nodes; inflammation of the eyelids and conjunctiva;
inflammations of the urinary bladder, the urethra, the testicles, and the
mammary glands.
243
Cobaltum Gluconicum – Cobalt Gluconate
The attenuations are prepared from Cobalt(II)-digluconate C12H22Co14 · 2 H2O,
MW: 485.27, the cobalt salt of D-Gluconic acid.
The importance of cobalt rests particularly on the fact that the anti-anaemic principle
in Vitamin B12 is a complex compound of Co++. Glycyl-Glycinpeptidase is also
believed to be specifically activated by Co++.
Cobalt deficiency causes a serious degenerative disease of sheep in Australia,
“coast disease”, an illness which is distinguished by progressive emaciation, weakness,
loss of appetite and apathy, leading in the end to severe anaemia. It can be prevented
or cured by giving a dose of Img. of cobalt (per sheep per day).
Cocculus – Indian Cockle/Fish Berry
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried ripe fruits of the plant, Anamirta
cocculus Wight et Arn., which is found in India, Sri Lanka and the Indo-Malayan
countries. N.O. Menispermaceae, the content of Picrotoxinin, C15H16O6, MW: 292.3
is not less than 0.8 %.
The tincture prepared from the fruits of Indian Cockle contains a poisonous bitter
substance, Picrotoxinin, as well as fat, wax, resin, gum, menispermin and paramenispermin.
The main action of Cocculus is on the central nervous system and affects
primarily vagotonous states and symptoms of exhaustion, which may reach the
point of paralysis or unconsciousness. There is weakness of the neck muscles with
heaviness of the head, as if the muscles could not support the head. The patient also
complains of a feeling of weakness in the sacrum, like paralysis, and also of great
weakness and heaviness in the legs, with the knees giving away while walking.
There may also be paraesthesias in the soles of the feet and in the hands, alternating
between right and left. The thighs may be painful, as if beaten. Also typical of Cocculus
is a nocturnal paraesthesia, with the sensation as if the hand were swollen.
This exhaustioon, originating in the parasympathetic system, may also present as a
headache, extending down the neck rather like a cervical migraine. The sensation as
though the head were opening and closing is also an indication for Cocculus.
A further very important indication for Cocculus is sea-sickness, nausea and vomiting
while travelling, also after tobacco smoke, possibly associated with oesophageal
cramps and convulsions. There may also be nervous or hysterical symptoms
at the beginning of and during the menses, and during pregnancy, and when
menstruation has been suppressed in some way.
Cocculus can always be of help when Nux Vomica does not work, e.g. also in
pressive, clamping stomach complaints. There is often an aversion to all sour things.
The fruits of Cocculus, imported from the East Indies under the name “Cockle-
244
Seeds” were formerly used as a hop-substitute and for intoxicating fish, hence the
other name: “Fish-seeds”.
The exhaustion of vagotonic origin, which may intensify into a state similar to intoxication,
also occurs after facing excessive demands and after over-exertion, particularly
night-watching. Therefore Cocculus is a good remedy for overwork and
after stress, too.
Then finally, there is the characteristic vertigo, which occurs on travelling by train,
by car, by aeroplane etc. Ménière’s syndrome with migraine-like symptoms and nausea
and vomiting, also reacts well to Cocculus.
We must also mention the sensation of emptiness in the head, a feeling which
may also occur in the abdomen, intestines, chest, and any inner parts or other organs
and is a firm indication for Cocculus.
Nor must we omit to mention that Cocculus can also be of help in rheumatic and
gouty conditions of the joints, which proceed without any significant inflammatory
process and are linked with cracking sounds on movement. It may also help in neuralgia
of the spermatic cord.
If we summarise the main symptoms of Cocculus, the following typical remedypicture
results: - Vertigo with sensations of faintness and nausea. Sea , car, air and train-sickness.
Menière’s syndrome with vomiting and nausea. - Great weakness and exhaustion with feeling of faintness and sensation of an
empty space in a wide variety of organs and parts of the body. Consequences of
sleep-loss and night-watching (as occurs in nursing staff and people on nightduty). - Headache in occiput and nape of neck; also weakness and pain in the sacrum,
hips and knees, as if the limbs were on strike. - Vagotonia. Paraesthesias. Complaints originating from the spinal column in
spondylitis. - Tendency to cramping symptoms, stomach cramps, vomiting and aversion to anything
sour.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Anamirta cocculus, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cocculus: vertigo of various origins; travel sickness; travel nausea; cerebral arteriosclerosis;
occipital headaches; spasmoid conditions and lameness; paramenia;
nervous disorders and emotional discord or upset, also associated with sleeplessness.
245
Coccus Cacti – Cochineal
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried impregnated female cochineal
shield-louse, Dactylopius coccus Costa, which occurs in Central America, Peru, Algeria
and Spain, feeding on cacti, especially on Nopalea coccinellifera, Opuntia
monocantha and others. N.O. Coccidae.
The main indications are:
Renal colic, pyelitis, nephrolithiasis. Whooping cough with tough, stringy mucus,
better in cold air. Constricting sensation in throat, as if bound up, (bulbar palsy,
speech disturbances).
Typical of Coccus Cacti are whooping cough-like paroxysms with a thick, mucoid,
stringy, expectoration, with stabbing pains and pressure above the lungs, radiating
out; with a hemmed-in sensation and a feeling of increased warmth in the
chest. A sensation of heat is also present in the oral mucosa, with a clean, rough, dry
tongue.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Dactylopius coccus, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for coccus cacti: inflammation the nasopharyngeal region and of the respiratory
passages; uterine bleeding; renal disorders and nephrolithiasis.
Cochlearia Officinalis – Horse-Radish/Scurvy-Grass
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant in flower of Cochlearia
officinalis L., a native of Europe and Russia. N.O. Cruciferae.
The indications are:
Stomachic. Diuretic.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cochlearia officinalis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cochlearia officinalis: gastric disorders, inflammation of the eyes.
Coenzyme A – CoA
The attenuations are prepared from Coenzyme A C21H36N7O16P3S, MW: 767.6.
Coenzyme A contains pantothenic acid, a substance belonging to the group of BVitamins,
also a sulphurous amine, cysteamine (2-aminoethanethiol, H2NCH2 CH2
246
SH), ribose-3’-phosphate and adenine. It is an indispensible co-factor in numerous
syntheses and important reactions in the intermediate metabolic process. For example,
coenzyme A activates acetic acid on entering the Citric Acid cycle. Fatty acids
are only capable of reaction in the form of their coenzyme A compound. In order to
render the free acetic acid capable of reaction, it must be transferred to the coenzyme
A compound through an expenditure of energy, for which ATP (Adenosine-
Triphosphate) is needed. Apart from this, the formation of activated acetic acid can
also take place directly in the course of the oxidative breakdown of pyruvic acid and
the fatty acid, the separation of the acetyl residue taking place by means of a take-up
of coenzyme A, the process of fission itself providing the energy for the formation of
the acetyl mercaptan. The acetyl transfer via coenzyme A, as a basic reaction of the
intermediate metabolic process, plays an important part in many synthetic reactions,
as in the formation of acetylcholine from choline and acetate, which synthesis depends
on ATP. Acetic acid is an important building block of all possible syntheses,
and is made capable of reaction by combination with coenzyme A. Thus activated
acetic acid, to a certain extent, represents a coenzyme A which has been acetylised
to the SH group.
Thus Coenzyme A can be used in various phases to stimulate enzyme activity, especially
in cellular phases with enzyme damage (iatrogenic pathology), e.g. in asthma,
liver damage, damage to the myocardium, and in all degenerative diseases, particularly
in combination with suitable biotherapeutic and anti-homotoxic remedies.
A proving of this substance was conducted in the winter of 1995 by Dr. David
Riley, Santa Fe, USA.
Congruent symptoms with Dr. Reckeweg:
• chest pain
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

The main indications are:
Hypersensitivity to external impressions. No need for sleep. Toothache relieved by
drinking cold water. Paralysis of the bladder. Dysmenorrhoea.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Coffea arabica, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
coffea: insomnia; neuralgia.
Colchicum – Meadow Saffron
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh bulbs, dug in the Spring, of
Colchicum autumnale L. N.O. Liliaceae.
According to Heinigke, the main action is on individual areas of the mucosa
(stomach and small intestine), of the serous membranes (pleura, peritoneum and
pericardium), of the fibrous tissues (ligaments and tendons, especially of the smaller
joints) and of the muscle fibres (especially of the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm),
where inflammatory processes predominate.
In poisonings, violent gastro intestinal inflammations are observed, with sinking
of all energies and death while fully conscious.
Pathological examination revealed: haemorrhage at the cardiac end of the stomach
between the mucosa and the muscle, haemorrhage in the jejunum between the mucosa
and the peritoneum, likewise beneath the pleura and the pericardium. The
lungs, right side of the heart and the venae cavae were filled with thick, black blood.
249
In the homoeopathic provings the following observations were also made: pains in
the muscles and joints with increased general irritability and aggravation at night, on
movement of the body, or on touching the painful parts. There was a sensation of relaxation
and sinking of energy to the point of being unable to speak; also cramps in
the flexors, coldness of hands and feet, and, after large doses, paralytic symptoms.
Typical of Colchicum is restless sleep, disturbed by pain, with frequent starting
up. This is associted with an agitated mood and irritability, despondency, peevishness
and melancholy depression.
Colchicum has a characteristically suffering facial expression, which indicates infirmity,
particularly in gynaecological conditions (neoplasms) with cool, pale skin
and hollow eyes with a brown rim (encircled eyes showing over-loading of the immune
system). There may also be twitching of the corners of the mouth and nervous
pains of the cheek-bone and lower jaw, and spasms of the jaw muscles, associated
with grinding of the teeth.
In the records of provings there is mention of the formation of glaucoma of the
lens with swelling, protrusion of the iris and keratoconus, all these pathological
processes then gradually subsiding (Heinigke).
Especially typical are the rheumatoid pains in the musculature and articulation of
the back and of the upper and lower extremities, with sporadic loss of feeling. After
an initial acceleration of the heart-beat, there often follows a sinking of the general
energy. As the temperature rises there is an alternation between fever and chill, accompanied
by copious sweat with a strong sour smell, coldness of the face and extremities,
and stabbing pains in the pericardium.
In the alimentary tract there is burning in the mouth with great dryness of the mucosa,
pains in the gums and teeth which hinder chewing. There may be heaviness
and stiffness of the tongue, and also a constricted sensation with difficulty in swallowing
in catarrhs of the mucosa, with increased production of mucus and pains
along the oesophagus, and violent thirst.
Typical are loss of appetite, disgust for food and nausea, especially at the smell of
cooked food. The abdomen is distended (meteorism) with frequent eructations,
bouts of hiccoughs, violent vomiting, intestinal colics and loose stools, and a sensation
of coldness in the pit of the stomach with pains and spasms. There is constipation
with urging for stool, or there is copious diarrhoea with passing of bile and
membranous shreds, stools with blood or blood and mucus, and possible anal prolapse
with colic and symptoms of dysentery.
Bladder and kidney conditions may also be present with much strangury and pains
in the urethra.
Nash describes the case of a 75-year-old woman, who was suddenly overcome
with nausea. This was followed by copious bloody stools, which then became less
profuse, containing blood and mucus, with violent tenesmus and intestinal pain. No
improvement occurred following the usual remedies such as Aconitum, Mercurius,
Nux Vomica, Ipecacuanha, Hamamelis and Sulphur. On the contrary the patient’s
conditions deteriorated so greatly after 12 days that she appeared moribund. She was
so weak that she could not raise her head from the pillow. In the space of 24 hours
250
65 stools were counted, passed in the bed. The pains and the number of evacuations
were increasing, and all the symptoms were worse from sunset to sunrise, a strikingly
important characteristic of Colchicum.
In this case a characteristic symptom was disgust for the smell of food cooking,
which prompted Nash to prescribe Colchicum 200, since he had no lower potency
with him. By the rapid recovery of this patient owing to the high-potency dose of
Colchicum 200, Nash, as he put it, was “convinced against my will but not of the
same opinion still”.
Nash also mentions the violent burning and the icy coldness in the stomach. These
opposite symptoms of Colchicum may be found in the abdomen also. Colchicum is
particularly often indicated in autumnal dysentery with evacuations of white or
bloody mucus, containing shreds as of mucous membrane. Cantharis has similar
stools, which look like scrapings, with urinary tenesmus and pains in the bladder
usually present too.
Colocynthis is also indicated for such stools, but it is distinguished from Cantharis
and Colchicum by the colicky pains which double the patient up. For the
marked flatulent abdominal distention is characteristic of Colchicum, as are the
pains and spasms possibly extending into the thighs.
In terms of differential diagnosis, one should also think of Carbo Vegetabilis,
China or Lycopodium when selecting the remedy.
Boericke draws attention to the great exhaustion and internal coldness, the sensitivity
to touch and movement, the aggravation lasting from evening to morning, the
gouty symptoms – especially gouty inflammation of the big toes and gout in the
heels – and the typical pains in the front of the thighs.
Colchicum has also proved effective in neoplasm phases, especially when there is
lack of appetite and possibly disgust for the smell of food cooking.
This action is supported by the results of pharmacological trials, where it was
shown that colchicin, the active principle of the meadow saffron, is a typical mitosis
poison, having a blocking effect which prevents cancer cells from further division.
In Germany, after the currency reform of 1948, ham and bacon were once more
available, and numerous elderly people fell ill with cancer of the stomach. At that
time the author was able to keep the condition of quite a number of such people stable
over a period of months and even years with Colchicum and Conium, injected
subcutaneously and alternating every one or two days.
If the main symptoms of Colchicum are summarised, we have the following typical
remedy-picture: - Gouty illnesses with wandering complaints. Rheumatism, rheumatic polyarthritis
with endocarditis and oedema (pleura, pericardium, peritoneum). Great exhaustion.
Can hardly speak for weakness. Dark rings around the eyes. - Oedema with heart and kidney diseases. Nephritis after scarlet fever. Rheumatic
iritis. Catarrhs of the mucosa, (mouth, tongue). - Autumnal diarrhoea with blood and/or mucus, like intestinal scrapings.
- Hypersensitivity to smells. Just the smell of food cooking causes nausea, retching
and vomiting.
251 - Pains extending into the thighs from the abdomen and the bladder.
- A wide variety of cancers and neoplasms, particularly with lack of appetite and
disgust at the smell of food cooking. - Aggravation from evening to morning, (at night). Increased irritability.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Colchicum autumnale, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for colchicum: acute and chronic gout; acute articular rheumatism; tendovaginitis;
effusions in bodily cavities; renal inflammation; inflammation of the
gastrointestinal tract.
Colibacillinum – Bacterium Coli Nosode see Bacterium Coli
Collinsonia Canadensis – Stone-Root
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant Collinsonia
canadensis L., which grows in woodlands of atlantic North America. N.O. Labiatae.
The main indications are:
Haemorrhoids, sensation of sand, dryness, pieces of wood in the anus. Constipation
(light-coloured, dry balls.) Prolapse of the uterus. Pruritus vulvae.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Collinsonia canadensis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for collinsonia canadensis: haemorrhoids; constipation.
Colocynthis – Bitter Cucumber
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried and peeled fruits, with pips removed,
of the plant Citrullus colocynthis [L.] Schrad., which occurs in North Africa,
Southern Arabia and the Near East. N.O. Cucurbitaceae.
Whereas Colocynthis has almost completely disappeared from normal allopathic
therapy, it has an important part to play in homoeopathic therapy. Colocynthis is one
of the best remedies for colics. These colics are ameliorated by doubling up, or by
the pressure of hard objects against the abdomen or site of the pain, the patient lying
across chairs, tables, bedposts etc. Colics associated with dysentery or acute intestinal
catarrhs are also relieved by Colocynthis, and one could give Arsenicum,
252
Aconitum, Mercurius or Veratrum Album as additional supporting remedies. Colocynthis
is also a good remedy for stabbing pains, e.g. in sciatica, and also in neuralgias
in the area of the trigeminal nerve and other localisations. Colocynthis is always
indicated when stabbing pains shoot through the body like lightning, independent of
movement. Whilst Chamomilla often acts beneficially on flatulent colics in children,
when they occur more strongly it is usually Colocynthis which is needed.
Other remedies such as Magnesium Phosphoricum, Staphisagria, Dioscorea, Veratrum
Album, Stannum and Jalapa may also be effective in such colics. Colocynthis
is able to provide rapid and lasting help when shooting pains and doubling up are
prominent. Thus, if we give a table of symptoms, the following indications come
within the domain of Colocynthis: - Flatulent colics in the whole abdomen with a tendency to bend double, drawing
the knees up to the chin and pressing the arms into the abdomen. This may be associated
with diarrhoea, which recurs after every meal or drink and is relieved by
hot compresses. - Neuralgias of various kinds, especially in the sciatic area, but also in others, such
as the trigeminal area, or in the intercostal nerves (here possibly indicated in alternation
with Ranunculus and Dulcamara), but also with stabbing pains in the
joints, e.g. in the right knee, and in other sites. - Stabbing pains, shooting through as from a dagger-wound, independent of movement,
touch or pressure, possibly associated with or followed by paraesthesias,
crawling or a feeling of having “gone to sleep” (cf. Gnaphalium). - Great irritability, choleric temperament, the complaints often being triggered by
anger or vexation. - Amelioration from warmth, and pressure of the lower arm.
- The sweat smells of urine.
- Periodicity of complaints.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Citrullus colocynthis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for colocynthis: painful spasmoid conditions of the gastrointestinal tract,
the biliary system, and of the urinary organs; neuritis and neuralgia, especially facial;
sciatica.
Colon Suis – Large Intestine
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh main part of the large
intestine of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The action is similar to that of Caecum, but more powerful. May also be used in
spasm of the descending and sigmoid colon. Indicated in all serious toxic states, as
an intermediate remedy or at the beginning of treatment. Intestinal atony. Umbilical
colics. Intestinal tenesmus. Mucous and ulcerative colitis. Insomnia.
253
Condurango – Condor Vine
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried bark of the aerial central stems of
the plant, Marsdenia condurango Reichenb. fil., which grows on the western slopes
of the Cordilleras, in the frontier areas of Ecuador and Peru. N.O. Asclepiadaceae.
The main indications are:
Ulcerations in cancer, syphilis and lupus. Telangiectasis.
In the 1870’s, Condurango was brought to Europe from Ecuador as a “safe cancer
remedy”. However it has not fulfilled the promises made for it. Condurango has
only had incomplete provings; it has proved valuable in many cases, clinically, including
large growths and epitheliomas.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Marsdenia cundurango, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for condurango: cracks and ulcers of the lips and rectum; inflammation
and constriction of the oesophagus.
Conium – Hemlock
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower, Conium maculatum
L., occurs in Europe and Asia in damp, shady places, by paths, hedges and in
fields. N.O. Umbelliferae.
Conium maculatum, the spotted hemlock, a great polychrest, exhibits considerable
toxic effects in its concentrated form, which are well-known from the familiar story
of the poisoning of Socrates. According to that account, Conium causes a paralysis
which ascends from below upwards. This symptom also occurs in homoeopathic
symptomatology. Apart from this, rotatory vertigo is one of the main symptoms of
Conium.
Nash describes a further important symptom of Conium: a typical ophthalmia in tuberculous
patients, the prime indication for Conium being an unusually intensive photophobia
which bears no relationship to the actual degree of ophthalmia and which is
only relieved in the dark and by pressure; corneal ulcers may also be present.
Another important symptom of Conium, in which in this case a higher potency is
to be preferred, is a glandular swelling and induration, prickling and stinging, and
stony-hard to the touch, which occurs especially after contusions and bruises, starting
in many cases as an apparently harmless lump in the breast. These can often be
reabsorbed surprisingly quickly under the influence of Conium, particularly if the
cause was an injury or a blow to the breast.
Shortly after the war the author treated a butcher’s wife who was suffering from
stony-hard metastatic tumours on the surface of the abdomen, which were probably
254
from a cancer of the gall-bladder which had spread to that point. Conium was selected
on the basis of the stony-hard tumours, which could in no way have been mistaken
for tubercles, mycosis fungoides, or other skin-diseases. About 10 days after
the doses of Conium there was a sudden softening of the metastases, and an opening-
up, with subsequent protracted discharge via a fistula, through which over 90
gall-stones were also discharged. Thus what had probably been a neoplasm phase
was totally transformed by regressive vicariation into a reaction phase in the form of
the suppurating fistula. Nor did the patient succumb to this condition, she did not die
until 10 years later, from a heart-attack. Thus Conium is also given in cancerous
conditions of the breasts, the womb or other organs, the pains which point to Conium
being burning, stinging or shooting, so that one might also think of Apis.
Conium also has a considerable effect on the sexual organs. In men there is mostly
a great weakness, with violent desire and amorous thoughts, which however the
patient is incapable of consummating. This state frequently occurs in later years,
along with involuntary interruption of the flow of urine, which also occurs in Clematis,
particularly in hypertrophy of the prostate. It may be accompanied by cystitis
with purulent urine.
Sweating which occurs as soon as the patient falls asleep, whether at night or by
day, is also an indication for Conium. To this may be added other symptoms of old
age, of widely varying kinds, arteriosclerosis and progressive cachexia. Disturbances
of co-ordination in tabes, and symptoms of sensory irritation suggest Conium (cf.
Argentum Nitricum).
In the area of brain function we find weakness of memory, reduced mental ability,
aphasia, and possibly also tremors, tinnitus and sleeplessness, which respond to Conium.
In the mucosa we may see irritation with dryness, and ulcers with offensive
discharge.
Conium has a violent tickling cough, which occurs particularly at night when
lying down, and seems to proceed from a dry patch. This cough frequently occurs in
tumours of the lung, but also occurs in acute chill and in tuberculosis, with difficult
expectoration. (Lachesis may also be useful.) Other irritative states are also present
in the mucosa, such as ulcerative glossitis, fissures of the tongue, stomach pains
with vomiting, thirst and craving for sour things, such as is often found in cancer of
the stomach. Conium may also be indicated in bloody, mucous diarrhoea or in constipation
with fainting after stool, as in Nux Vomica.
All complaints are aggravated by cold and rest, and especially at night.
The following main symptoms emerge from a survey of the remedy: - Paralysis ascending from below upwards.
- Rotatory vertigo.
- General symptoms of old-age. Arteriosclerosis. Progressive cachexia. Disturbances
of co-ordination. Weakness of memory. Aphasia. Tremors. Tinnitus.
Sleeplessness. - Hypertrophy of the prostate with irritation of the bladder. Interrupted flow of
urine. Cystitis.
255 - Glandular swellings feeling stony-hard, suspected neoplasms. Mammary tumours.
- Constitutional treatment in neoplasm phases.
- Violent tickling cough, as if from a dry patch.
- Ulcerations of the mucosa. Fissures of the tongue.
- Diarrhoea with blood or mucus; or constipation with fainting after stool.
- Craving for sour things.
- Aggravation from cold, rest and especially at night.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Conium maculatum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for conium: cerebral arteriosclerosis; paralysis and lameness; glandular
swelling; tissue neoformation in various organs; emotional discord or upset.
Convallaria Majalis – Lily of the Valley
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower, Convallaria
majalis L., occurs in deciduous woodland in Europe, Asia and North America. N.O.
Liliaceae.
The main indications are:
Weakness of myocardium. Endocarditis. Nervous palpitation. Athlete’s heart (hypertrophy).
After abuse of tobacco.
Convallaria has had a homoeopathic proving and, apart from heart symptoms, it
also has depression and irritability, especially when the prover was asked about
something.
There is also a dull, heavy headache, which moves from the vertex to the temples,
headache with fever, sleepiness on entering a warm room and restlessness during
sleep.
On the front of the thigh there are little nodules, as from insect-bites, itching
strongly.
There are also optical illusions while reading, with all the letters looking the same.
There is a heaviness of the upper eyelids with a dull pain in the right eye and a pulsating
pain in the left ear with heat.
There is a typical sallow complexion with a sunken, Hippocratic facial expression.
Further indications for Convallaria include rheumatic complaints in the loins, dull
cutting pains below the inferior angle of the shoulder blade and, in the renal area, a
rheumatic pain in the left elbow joint with numbness in the hand, and pains in the
wrist; also cramps on the inner side of the right thigh, pains in the knees, cramps in
the right calf with sensation of numbness, and pain in the ankle.
Apart from dyspnoea with a feeling of faintness and palpitations, and great airhunger
on the slightest movement, the provers complained of a sensation of flutter-
256
ing in the heart on exertion, then flushing of the face, and of a sensation as if the
heart were about to stop beating. Then it would suddenly beat strongly again, with a
feeling of faintness.
In the digestive tract there is this striking symptom: fatty-tasting eructations; also
nausea after meals with mucous vomiting, and a dull pain, similar to colic, in the left
hypochondrium and umbilical region.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Convallaria majalis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for convallaria majalis: arrhythmia; cardiac insufficiency.
Cornea Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared using the fresh corneal tissue from
the eye of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Corneal opacities. Astigmatism. Chronic ulceration of the cornea and chronic conjunctivitis.
Corpus Luteum Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared using the fresh corpus luteum from
the ovary of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Disturbances of the female hormonal balance. Premature ageing. Menopause. Disturbances
in the progress of pregnancy.
Corpus Pineale Suis – Pineal Gland
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh pineal gland of a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
Corpus Pineale exhibits certain counterpoint actions to Pituitary. On the basis of
experience gained from living-cell implants, the following indications have
emerged.
257
Has a slowing-down effect on neoplasm phases. Bronchial asthma. May be tried
experimentally in epilepsy and degeneration phases generally as a supporting or intercurrent
remedy. Sydenham’s chorea. Papilloma of the bladder.
Corpus Vitreum Suis – Vitreous Humour of the Eye
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh vitreous humour (the
part between lens and retina) of the eye of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Opacities of the vitreous humour. Glaucoma. Cataract.
Cor Suis – Heart
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh heart of a healthy pig
(Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Hypertension. Angia pectoris. Disturbances of the coronary circulation. Cardiac
insufficiency. Athlete’s heart. Paroxysmal tachycardia. Recuperative treatment after
infarction.
It serves no purpose to prescribe Cor (either in potency or in the form of livingcell
injection) during acute decompensation. For this reason Cor should not be used
directly after an infarction, but only a few weeks later (in recuperation), when the
full muscular compensation has been restored.
Cortex Glandulae Suprarenalis Suis – Adrenal Cortex
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh adrenal cortex of a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
Indications for the use of the isolated adrenal cortex in potency are: impregnation
or degeneration phases (Selye’s phase of exhaustion), in stress-situations, e.g. also
after toxic treatment such as chemotherapy and antibiotics, generally in phases
where there is a lack of cortisone, e.g. in primary chronic polyarthritis, where suitable
supporting remedies may also be given if expedient.
258
Cortisone – Cortisonum Aceticum
The attenuations are prepared from Cortisone-21-acetate (17α,21-Dihydroxy-4-
pregnene-3,11,20-trione-21-acetate) C23H30O6, MW: 402.5 (Potentised allopathic
compound).
The main indications are:
Damage to adrenal cortex, pituitary and connective tissue. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Simmonds’ disease. Consequences of abuse of cortisone, and other iatrogenic
damage. May also be tried in osteochondritis, weakness of joints (giving way),
osteoporosis, Sudeck’s atrophy and others, and diseases being manifested in the connective
tissue. May profitably be combined with Funiculus Umbilicalis and Silicea.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cortisonum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cortisone: inflammations of the mucosae of the eye and of the respiratory organs;
asthma; inflammation, ulceration, and bleeding of the mucosa of the alimentary
tract; bone decalcification; disorders of the skin, blood, and vascular systems; behavioural
disorders and emotional discord or upset.

damaged or strained myocardium or pericardium, sequelae of mumps, pancreatitis,
hepatitis, nephritis, orchitis, oophoritis, pleurisy, abacterial meningitis or encephalitis,
possibly including pareses. Chronic conditions of the large intestine (spastic
colon), especially in combination with Colon, Nux Vomica, Cantharis, etc. (See report
by Dr. Schmidt on experiments with over 500 patients in “Biologische Medizin”
2, 160–161 (1973), and 5, 212–214 (1976).
259

The main indications are:
Left-sided oophoritis. Conjunctivitis. Chemosis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Vespa crabro, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
crabro vespa: inflammatory dermal affections; mucosal swelling; inflammation of
the urinary organs; inflammation of the female reproductive organs.
Crataegus – Hawthorn
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh, ripe fruits of the plant, Crataegus
laevigata (Poir.) DC. and Crataegus monogyna Jacq. emend. Lindm. (and their hybrids),
which grow in hedgerows and on the edge of woodlands in Europe and the
temperate parts of Asia. N.O. Rosaceae.
Hawthorn is an effective heart and circulatory remedy which, even in overdoses
and long-term use, produces no toxic side-effects. Crataegus does not only act as a
heart tonic generally, but also in weakness of the heart following infections, and
thus may be applied in retoxic impregnation phases, and particularly in heart conditions
of the elderly, as a long-term treatment. Numerous studies of Crataegus have
appeared in the last few years, concerned with the pharmacodynamics of Hawthorn.
R. F. Weiss (“Hippokrates” 602, 15 [1963]) describes Crataegus as one of the mostused
remedies, especially in minor heart-therapy.
Thus, in respect of its action, Crataegus is somewhat opposed to Digitalis, discovered
by Withering 180 years ago, which is used in so-called major heart-therapy.
The basic effects of Crataegus tincture usually become apparent only after it has
been in use for a longer period of time, whilst the patient feels easier and more capable
after only a few doses. Such conditions as angina pectoris with pressure in the
praecordium, sensation of constriction, easily-occurring air-hunger etc., usually
show an immediate improvement and then with long-term use this becomes a lasting
one, especially if additional single remedies are combined with Crataegus (e.g.
Spigelia).
Whilst Digitalis may be described as the sovereign remedy for obvious cardiac insufficiency
(Weiss), Crataegus is indicated more for degenerative conditions of the
heart, especially in heart conditions of the elderly, when hypertrophy accompanies
hypertension, for the consequences of myocardial infarction and myocardial fibrosis,
in myocardial ischaemia and angina pectoris. Thus Crataegus is excellent as a prophylactic
for angina pectoris, and is indicated as soon as the slightest symptoms ap-
260
pear, since the effects will usually be seen immediately and are deep-acting. However,
in manifest cardiac insufficiency, Digitalis preparations are also indicated in the
first instance.
The action of Crataegus preparations stems from flavinoids (Flavine and Flavan,
also Aminopurine), and from other substances not yet clearly defined in terms of
their action, which have a completely differing effect from that of the glycosides. In
experiments it was not possible to raise the level of heart-activity as such with
Crataegus preparations. Of course, this action of Crataegus only appears after it has
been taken for some time. Weiss mentions three points of attack in Crataegus’ action.
These are: - An improvement in the coronary flow of blood;
- An effect on the heart muscle itself, i.e. on the interstitial cell groups of the myocardium,
these being credited with providing the energy for fibrillations; - An effect on the impulse system, this effect only being observed when large doses
have been injected intravenously.
Crataegus probably also acts as a general cell stimulant, as it appears from feeding
experiments carried out over a nine year period by Klatt, the Director of the Zoological
Institute at Hamburg University. In 1956 he reported on the breeding of the butterfly
Ocneria dispar. This breed, near to extinction, clearly as a result of wrong
feeding for nine years on alder leaves, had its diet changed radically to hawthorn
leaves. The whole breed was regenerated and ceased to be depleted by regular infectious
diseases, large, powerful butterflies developing which would lay several hundred
eggs each at a time. After six years’ observation of these positive results, which
continued, Klatt reported the feeding on Crataegus leaves as being the cause of the
improvement in the breed. He ascribes to Crataegus the action of a general cell stimulant.
E. Holtzem of the Pharmacological Institute of Bonn University checked these
feeding experiments with Crataegus on the fruit-fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Compared
with a control group which received normal food, he found in a group of five
generations, which received Crataegus leaves in addition, a distinct increase in offspring.
Feeding with pure oleander acid, which is one of the triterpene acids of the
hawthorn, also produced the same result.
Weiss sees the centre of gravity of Digitalis therapy as being more clinically orientated,
whereas that of Crataegus is more practice-orientated. Weiss considers ongoing
treatment with Crataegus to be necessary, and places less importance on the size of
single doses.
A further conclusion to be drawn from the experiments with Ocneria dispar is that
the action of Crataegus is not confined to the circulation, but extends to other systems
too. So we find in human beings not only an action on the heart, but also a general
toning action on the circulation, Crataegus having a regulating effect on the blood
pressure and thereby also on the tension in the peripheral circulation. The regulation
of blood pressure appears to take place partly centrally and partly peripherally.
When the information is concisely arranged, we find the following main indications
for Crataegus:
261 - Weakness of the heart muscle, including that of a toxic nature e.g. in retoxic impregnation
phases. (Infectious toxic weakness of the heart-muscle). - Myocarditis, cardiomyopathy.
- Heart conditions of old age. Athlete’s heart. Fatty degeneration of the heart.
- Hypertension. General arteriosclerosis.
- Myocardial ischaemia. Disturbances of coronary circulation with angina pectoris.
- Support of the circulation in infectious diseases and fever. (Influenza, pneumonia
etc.).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Crataegus, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
crataegus: cardiocirculatory disorders such as cardiac insufficiency, geriatric heart,
arrhythmia, angina pectoris, and dysarteriotony.
Crinis Humanus – Human Hair
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from human hair.
The main indications are:
Alopecia. Premature greying of the hair (recommended in combination with
Onyx).
Crocus – Saffron
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried stigmas of the plant, Crocus sativus
L., a native of the Orient and cultivated in Southern Europe. N.O. Iridaceae.
The main indications are:
Burning in the eyes after reading for a short time; muscae volitantes (floaters).
Sensation as if a foetus were moving within the abdomen. Metrorrhagias, miscarriage.
Haemorrhages aggravated by the slightest movement, curdled like an icicle.
Sydenham’s chorea.
The other symptoms obtained from the provings are essential, for after large doses
narcotic symptoms are observed, likewise a surge of blood to the head, which may
reach the point of apoplexy, with intoxication and dulled senses, delirium and lethargy
to the point of coma. Haemorrhages, particularly uterine, are generally frequent.
There is a rare symptom from the provings which may lead us to this remedy: the
sensation of dull, blunt thrusts, blows and pains, occurring suddenly, not lasting
long, and recurring again in attacks. These are often caused or aggravated by movement.
They are at their most violent in the mornings and quiet down on walking
262
slowly in the open air. There may also be a sensation as if something were hopping
about inside the body or on it.
A striking symptom is the excessive jollity and delight, mood for fun and joking,
immoderate laughter, and a tendency to sing and behave deliriously with musical
ideas. If musical tones are registered by the ear, the patient joins in, singing involuntarily.
This is accompanied by a rapid change of moods with no obvious cause, an
excessive vacillation from one extreme of mood to the other.
Women experience labour-like pains in the abdomen such as might occur before
the monthly period.
Crocus should also be tried in hysterical conditions, paroxysmal laughing and crying,
St. Vitus’ dance, melancholia, masked intermittent fever, gouty conditions and
especially in haemorrhage of dark, thick and easily coagulated blood (like an icicle).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Crocus sativus, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
crocus: haemorrhages; tendency to painful spasmodic conditions; quickly changeable
states of emotional discord or upset.
Crotalus Horridus – Rattlesnake
The attenuations are prepared from the careful dried venom from the poison-sacs
of the upper jaw of the North American rattlesnake, Crotalus horridus horridus L.
N.O. Crotalidae.
The main indications are:
Haemorrhages from eyes, ears, nose and any organ of dark, fluid blood. Aggravation
in the Spring. Metrorrhagia in the menopause, purpura. Disturbances of the
brain, makes mistakes in writing and calculating. Yellow fever, typhus, inflammations
with gangrene and sepsis. Weak heart. Toxic icterus. Viral hepatitis. Acute yellow
atrophy of the liver.
Typical of Crotalus is the great lassitude and exhaustion and the rapid dwindling
of energy which can occur, with fainting, trembling all over and convulsions. The
right half of the body is particularly affected. The aggravation of all complaints
takes place in the early hours of the morning. This is associated with an irritable
mood, with the patient tending towards emotion and ecstatic states. In chronic conditions
there is apathy, despondency and anxiety with restlessness and unsociability.
A pointer to the remedy can be the inability to express oneself in suitable or correct
words, either spoken or written, and the use of incorrect words to express concepts,
likewise an uncharacteristic weakness in spelling and an unaccustomed weakness
of memory (cf. Medorrhinum, Anacardium).
Pains in the forehead and temples, in the eye-sockets and in the teeth, possibly
with nausea and vomiting, are relieved by fresh air. The poisoning picture after suf-
263
fering a rattlesnake bite shows principally hemiparesis, pains which shift rapidly
and quickly return, with the bones being primarily affected. There is also a spasm of
the scalp, with the hair standing on end, spasm of the jaw and a flaccid drooping of
the lower jaw, in the Crotalus picture (apoplexy).
Also characteristic are catarrhs of the conjunctiva and a reddening of the left upper
eyelid with sensation of heat and burning, lachrymation and a jaundiced discolouration
of the sclera, often associated with enlargment of the pupils.
In the forefront are the haemorrhages from orifices of the body, and generally in
the skin (yellow, red, blue, greenish and bluish-black patches with itching stingings
in various places), general jaundiced skin-discolouration and haemorrhages from
the capillary network of the skin, linked with the eruption of small pustules on the
face, trunk and limbs with extensive bluish-red patches and larger swellings containing
muco-pus. There is also general oedematous swelling of the skin and of the
dermal tissue (snake-bite effect).
This is associated with a weak, hoarse voice, with painful sensitivity of the larynx
to touch, dyspnoea, coughing with chest-pain and bloody expectoration, also halitosis,
bleeding of the gums and increased salivation.
The tongue is dry, brown and swollen and can only be moved and articulated with
difficulty. The stomach will retain nothing but jelly, coffee and a little brandy. There
is retching and vomiting with eructation and hiccoughs, and heartburn. There is hyperaesthesia
of the abdominal skin with pains in the liver and spleen areas (cf. Leptandra),
and frequent thin stools with involuntary defaecation (cf. Podophyllum,
Aloe, Veratrum etc.) and rectal haemorrhage.
Thus if other typical symptoms are present, one should think of using Crotalus
Horridus in paralytic and spasmodic states, in psychoses with ecstatic or melancholic
episodes, and above all in acute cholangitis, cholecystitis and pancreatitis,
also in scurvy and haemophilia.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Crotalus horridus, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
crotalus: serious dermal and mucosal infections; tendency to general blood poisoning;
haemorrhages of all kinds; paralysis.
Cubeba – Cubeb
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried unripe berries of the plant, Piper
cubeba L.f., a native of Malaysia. N.O. Piperaceae.
The main indications are:
Urethritis. Leucorrhoea of little girls.
Apart from general weakness and emaciation, the special characteristics of Cubeba
are said to be loss of memory and sensory weakness, together with the added
264
symptom of reduced feeling in the fingers and toes, the symptom disappearing when
the remedy is discontinued. (Symptom from provings.)
Further symptoms from the provings included trembling of the limbs with spastic
movement and slight symptoms of paralysis, an unusually light-hearted mood,
flushed face and enlargement of the pupils.
With inflammation of the mucosa and a coated tongue there is a peculiar odour of
the secretion, with a sensation of heat and burning in both mouth and oesophagus. In
intestinal colics the copious diarrhoea has a peculiar odour. So too does the darkcoloured,
foaming urine with increased urination, and at the urethral orifice there is
burning itching with discharge. There is also a sensation of pressure and heaviness in
the pelvis and excitement of the sexual organs, with weakness and possible inflammation
of the epididymis.
Above all, Cubeba seems to be indicated when the first inflammatory stage of
gonorrhoea has died down, there is burning in the urethra and a thick, creamy discharge
predominates.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Piper cubeba, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cubeba: mucosal inflammations of the urinary and reproductive organs.
Cucurbita Pepo – Pumpkin
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh seeds of Cucurbita pepo L.s.l. N.O.
Cucurbitaceae.
Recommended in hypertrophy of the prostate.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cucurbita pepo, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cucurbita pepo: vomiting.
Cuprum – Copper
The attenuations are prepared from metallic copper, Cu, AW: 63.5.
Copper has a narrowly defined sphere of action, in which spasms are in the forefront.
These frequently originate in the fingers and toes and on occasions involve
loss of consciousness. Such spasmodic states may be found in dysmenorrhoea, in
gastro intestinal colics, in renal colics (especially on the left side), in cramps of the
265
calf muscles, in muscle cramps after cholera, but also in epilepsy and similar conditions:
they are especially marked at night. Thus copper also gains a certain importance
in the treatment of retoxic impregnation phases, i.e. particularly after the inhibition
of discharges, eruptions etc.
Cuprum is likewise indicated in Sydenhams’ chorea (St. Vitus’ dance), and especially
in whooping cough when there is spasmodic coughing for hours on end.
Cuprum is also indicated in asthma, when there is spasmodic vomiting at the end of
the attack. In cholera too we find violent vomiting, also diarrhoea, anxiety felt in the
pit of the stomach, convulsions of the extremities, coldness and cyanosis of the
body, spasmodic constriction of the chest, dyspnoea and chronic cramps, which
point to Cuprum Arsenicosum (and Veratrum Album) as simillima. Here Cuprum
can save lives. Furthermore, Cuprum is the metal of the kidneys and, according to
Prof. Müller of Titisee, it is indicated in those kidney diseases which proceed with
hypotension, whilst Plumbum is the indicated metal in those forms of kidney disease
with hypertension. Left-sided renal colics obviously react better to copper than
right-sided ones, in which Arsenicum acts well.
Dahlke describes a further modality of Cuprum; according to this the coughing and
vomiting which call for Cuprum are relieved by a sip of cold water. Cuprum is also
said to be effective in acute hydrocephalus, dental cramps and especially in inveterate
skin eruptions, particularly if these are herpetic or scabies-like, itching very strongly,
with possible ulceration in the creases of the joints. The ripening of deep abscesses is
said to be hastened by Cuprum. Cuprum has also done good work in inveterate
syphilis, ankylosis, contractures and suppurations of the joints. There is great muscular
weakness, frequently a small, rapid pulse, with the pains tending to radiate out in
all directions. Collapse and coldness of the surface of the body with cyanosis and
dyspnoea may also be present, as well as hoarseness and glottal spasm, which is relieved
by cold drinks. Cuprum may also prove useful in T.B. of the larynx.
Cuprum has an obvious action on the blood formation, especially after abuse of
iron.
Aggravation is generally from hot weather and at night, also before the menses.
Amelioration is from cold drinks and pressure.
A glance at the toxicology of the copper compounds shows that large quantities (1
gram) produce violent inflammation of the gastro intestinal mucosa with agonising
vomiting, colicky pains and diarrhoea, whilst quantities of 0.2 grams only produce
feelings of disgust for food, vomiting and diarrhoea. Still smaller quantities up to
about 0.03 grams, produce a reduction of appetite and – by Reversal effect – constipation.
Since copper salts are used in a considerable range of industrial processes and
copper poisoning occurs as an occupational disease, in such cases one should be on
the look-out for greenish or greenish-yellow discolouration of the hair, face, eyes
and teeth; a copper rim may also occur on the gums.
Copper poisoning can produce similar symptoms to lead poisoning. Copper colic
is differentiated from lead colic insofar as after copper colic diarrhoea usually occurs.
266
If we summarise all the symptoms of Cuprum, the following list results: - Spasm/cramp remedy par excellence: cramps in the calf muscles, dymenorrhoea,
renal colic, muscle spasms, and spasms of the limbs (in cholera). - Convulsions in epilepsy, eclampsia, uraemia, with possible alternation of tonic
and clonic spasms, which mostly begin with drawing in the fingers and toes and
extend from there over the whole body. - Whooping cough and asthma with spasmodic vomiting at the end of the attack.
- Opisthotonos and spasms of the masseter. Abdominal neuralgias, intestinal
spasms. - Arteriosclerosis. Nephrosis and kidney diseases.
- Contractures ankylosis, suppuration of the joints associated with inveterate
syphilis. - Inveterate skin-eruptions with itching, and ulceration in the creases of the joints.
- Pains are ameliorated by cold drinks and pressure, and aggravated by hot water, at
night and before the menses.
Thus we see that Cuprum can be used in numerous conditions, extremely violent
and threatening ones, mostly acute, but also in chronic ones, with success. The action
of copper salts in similar to that of Cuprum Metallicum. Cuprum Aceticum,
Cuprum Sulphuricum and Cuprum Arsenicosum are particularly in use, the latter appearing
to work better in neuralgias, nephrosis and uraemia, insofar as one may expect
action by Reversal effect, in combination with complementary methods (e.g.
sarcodes.)
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cuprum metallicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cuprum: cerebral seizure disorders; spasmodic muscular conditions;
spasmodic conditions of the smooth musculature, the gastro intestinal tract, the respiratory
organs, the vascular systems, and the coronary vessels; circulatory failure.

The attenuations are prepared from Copper(II)-acetate, C4H6CuO4 · H2O, MW:
199.7.
The indications are essentially the same as for Cuprum and Cuprum Sulphuricum.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cuprum aceticum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cuprum aceticum: diseases accompanied by a tendency to spasmodic conditions,
such as cerebral seizure disorders, systremma; asthma; whooping cough; angina
pectoris.
267
Cuprum Sulphuricum – Copper Sulphate
The attenuations are prepared from Copper(II)-sulphate, CuSO4 · 5 H2O, MW:
249.7.
For the main symptoms, see under Cuprum.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cuprum sulphuricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cuprum sulphuricum: spasmodic muscular conditions; nocturnal
paroxysmal coughing.
Curare – Arrow Poison
The mother tincture is prepared from the extract of the corky tissue of different varieties
of Chondodendron, especially C. tomentosum Ruiz. et Pav., C. candicans
[L.C. Rich.] Sandw. and C. polyanthum Diels. N.O. Menispermaceae.
The main symtoms are:
Various paralyses and weakened states of the musculature, also following over-exertion
(pianists). Dyspnoea and vertigo in emphysema. Liver spots (!). Diabetes mellitus.
Scrofulous skin-eruptions behind the ears and on the face. Effective in thirst
from any cause.
An indication for prescribing Curare can be: “as if the brain were full of liquid.”
Curare is also recommended in epileptiform attacks, occurring primarily before
the menses, also in rabies and in spasm of the jaw in tetanus. Curare is also said to
be indicated in scrufulous children with skin conditions, eczemas (especially on the
face and behind the ears – cf. Petroleum, especially where liver spots form).
When a feeling of thirst cannot be removed by Bryonia, Arsenicum etc., then Curare
is usually effective.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Curare, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for curare:
paralysis; lameness; spasmodic conditions.
268
Cutis Suis – Skin
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh skin of a healthy pig
(Sus scrofa domesticus).
The principal indications are:
Allergic reactions. Dermatoses. Eczema. Seborrhoea. Pemphigus. Fissures. Psoriasis.
Prostration. Dermatomycoses. Elephantiasis. Scleroderma. After burns (including
X-ray burns). Neurodermatitis. Disturbances of renal excretion. Hyperhydrosis,
etc.
Cyclamen – Sow-Bread
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock with the attached tuberous
roots of the plant, Cyclamen purpurascens Mill. (Cyclamen europaeum L.),
gathered in the Autumn. It grows in the woodlands of the central mountains of
Southern and Central Europe, as far north as 50° latitude. N.O. Primulaceae.
The main symptoms are:
Hemicrania with darkened complexion. Fluent coryza with loss of smell and taste.
Dysmenorrhoea. Breasts hard and swollen. Galactorrhoea, even in non-pregnant
women.
An indication for Cyclamen can be a lack of sense of taste and an aversion to
bread and butter, and to a lesser extent to hot food.
Cyclamen has a sad, tearful mood similar to that of Pulsatilla; however, warm
ameliorates, (in Pulsatilla, cool fresh air). A particularly important symptom deserving
emphasis is the secretion of milk from the breasts of non-pregnant women, since
this symptom is found hardly anywhere else, and therefore in many cases used to
lead to mastectomy in young girls.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cyclamen europaeum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for cyclamen: headaches; migraine; various forms of paramenia; digestive
insufficiency; common cold; rheumatism, emotional discord or upset.
269
Cynara Scolymus – Artichoke
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts of the plant, Cynara
scolymus L. N.O. Compositae.
The main indications are:
Tonic. Resolvent. Diuretic. Contains an enzyme, which converts insulin into levulose.
Deep-acting, effective liver remedy, also in cirrhosis and jaundice, oedema,
sciatica, and to stimulate the detoxifying function of the liver.
Although the consumption of artichokes is without question beneficial to the liver
function, and lower potencies undoubtedly work effectively, the author has found the
medium and higher potencies to do very good work.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cynara scolymus, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
cynara scolymus: chronic hepatobiliary diseases.
Cypripedium Pubescens – Lady’s Slipper
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock, gathered in autumn, of
the plant Cypripedium calceolus, var. pubescens [Willd.] Corell., a native of North
America. N.O. Orchidaceae.
The main indications are:
Abuse of coffee. States of nervous irritation.
In a healthy human being, the use of an infusion of the root causes firstly an improvement
in mental function and the whole nervous activity, following which a
great tranquility is observed, which finally proceeds to a considerable fatigue of
mind and body. The main symptoms are similar to those of poisoning with poisonivy.
Cypripedium is particularly effective in nervous women, whose nerves are affected
by illness or by abuse of tea or coffee. (Impregnation phases). However, it is also
recommended in consequences of mental over-exertion, nightwatching and exhaustion
of the nervous system in influenza. (Impregnation phases, otherwise in such
cases use Cocculus.)
It could also be beneficial in teething complaints of children with symptoms of
cerebral irritation and incipient meningitis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cypripedium calceolus var. pubescens,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for cypripedium pubescens: insomnia.
270
Cysteinum – Cysteine
The attenuations are prepared from the essential amino-acid (L-(+)-Cysteine),
C3H7NO2S, MW: 121.2.
It is a SH-group-containing factor of redox potentials (e.g. Glutathione). Retoxic
and iatrogenic damage of all kinds. To be used intercurrently in all cellular phases,
especially in liver damage, asthma, leukaemia, pre-cancerous states and neoplasm
phases.
The drug picture of Cysteinum was composed in July 1995 by David Riley, M.D.,
Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

273
Cysto-Pyelonephritis Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from urine from a patient with an
urinary tract infection having simultaneous inflammation of the bladder, the renal
pelvis and the kidney.
In the last few decades, cases of chronic urinary tract infections of this kind have
shown a considerable increase. It has turned out that the complicated irritative and
inflammatory symptoms – mostly of bacterial origin – of the urinary tract can seldom
be finally cured with antibiotics and anti-bacterial medicines in normal use, but
tend to recur. Thus the patients who are treated with such drugs, in spite of months
of medication and the associated dangers of damaging side-effects (which almost
invariably appear), cannot attain a cure.
Especially in cases in which one kidney may have been destroyed by consecutive
hydronephroses, there will be a threat to life. These patients can be helped by keeping
to a strict diet which excludes all pork (sausage, all kinds of ham and bacon, and
also liver-sausage etc., even of calves’ liver, since all kinds of sausage, apart from
those guaranteed to be free of pork, contain pork to some extent). This, along with
suitable remedies such as Hepar Sulphuris and Mercurius Solubilis, and not least
with Cysto-pyelonephritis Nosode.
Admittedly, courses of treatment lasting for weeks are necessary, which must then
extend further over months on a reduced dosage; and the ban on pork must be adhered
to strictly for years to come, since pork offers an ideal substrate for the bacteria
in the urinary system, being a pyogenic substance. The simple inflammatory or
purulent illnesses of the urinary tract also constitute a serious threat of disease, as is
shown by the following.
From a developmental point of view, the kidneys and urinary tract are a part of the
mesoderm. Thus diseases of the urinary system should always be regarded seriously,
since they usually occur either when there is a high toxic level in the organism, the
physiological excretion being insufficient to cope with it, or else they may be the result
of serious toxic damage. Here one must take into account the possibility of reintoxication,
e.g. the suppression of excretion via the skin, since skin and kidneys display
certain relationships in the way in which substances may act on them. Toxins
which are excreted via the skin are also excreted via the kidneys, and vice-versa.
(E.g. uric acid crystals on the skin in uraemia.)
In particular the suppression of sweat in the axillae and on the feet is responsible
for kidney disease, including formation of calculi. The body then tries to eliminate
the suppressed homotoxins through another channel, i.e. the kidneys.
This signifies an overload for the kidneys, which are highly susceptible to toxic
factors; on the other hand ubiquitous bacteria find a favourable soil in which to grow
in the urine, which is loaded with homotoxins. Thus urinary tract infections must be
seen as infectious diseases developing on homotoxic terrain. Here the bacteria are of
only secondary importance.
The essential therapeutic factor consists in removing the homotoxic terrain, re-
274
opening the blocked excretory outlets (and this means strictly forbidding any use of
anti-perspirants etc.), and the use of suitable anti-inflammatory remedies. (Argentum
Nitricum, Cantharis, Mercurius Solubilis, Hepar Sulph., Arsenicum Album, etc.).
The Cysto-pyelonephritis Nosode can also be used in other kidney diseases such
as hydronephrosis, nephrolithiasis, and may also be tried in acute glomerulonephritis,
hypertrophy of the prostate, etc.
275
Damiana – Turnera
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried leaves, tops of the twigs and blossoms
of the plant, Turnera diffusa Willd. and hybrids, a native of Mexico, California,
Brazil and Bolivia. N.O. Turneraceae.
The main indications are:
Flaccidity of the male and female genitalia. Impotence, sterility. Spermatorrhoea.
Hypertrophy of the prostate. Neurasthenia. Migraine.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Turnera diffusa, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
damiana: sexual insufficiency; paramenia.
Dens Suis – Tooth
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh tooth of a healthy pig
(Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Periodontitis. Caries. Disturbances in dental development. Apical foci of infection.
Diencephalon Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh diencephalon of a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The name diencephalon is used to denote the hypothalamus, and the thalamus,
which lies above and behind it, both in the lower area of the brain and separated
from each other by the sulcus hypothalamicus.
In this part of the brain are localised the central switch-boards for almost all the
autonomic nervous functions, not only for sleep and blood-pressure, but also for the
whole autonomic innervation.
The indications for use of Diencephalon – also of Thalamus or Hypothalamus –
are impregnation and degeneration phases, e.g. manifestations of autonomic dystonia,
possibly in combination with other suitable remedies, or as a compound remedy.
276
Digitalis – Foxglove
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh leaves, gathered at the commencement
of flowering, of the one or two years old plant Digitalis purpurea L., which occurs,
often in massive quantities, in upland woods of Europe where trees have been
cleared. N.O. Scrophulariaceae.
The main indications and symptoms are:
Deathly nausea with clean tongue. Vomiting. Uninterrupted urging to urinate. Irritation
of the neck of the bladder. Scanty urine with albumin, dark and cloudy. Hydrocoele.
Hypertrophy of the prostate. Hyperemesis gravidarum. Dreams of falling.
Weakness of the heart muscle. Sensation as if the heart stood still. Can lie neither on
the left nor the right side; best lying flat on the back. Dilated veins. Cold limbs.
Pains and swelling of the liver with heart pains. Heart failure. Oedema.
In the case of Digitalis it is usually forgotten that, apart from the circulatory symptoms,
other symptoms may also constitute an indication.
Thus gastro intestinal symptoms – albeit largely of circulatory origin – point to
Digitalis, particularly a sensation of pressure and cramp in the left hypochondrium,
possibly moving to the heart and mimicking the symptoms of infarction, or leading
into them. In this case, in order to prevent the infarction, it is absolutely necessary to
use Digitalis tincture, which is best mixed with Crataegus tincture. Restless sleep,
interrupted by many dreams and by nocturia, and by frequent waking (on account of
fear, restlessness and fear of dying), is typical of Digitalis, particularly dreams of
falling.
Digitalis is also indicated for stabbing pains in the renal area with urging towards
the bladder and symptoms of bladder irritation, desire to urinate but with retention of
urine, and frequent strangury, the urine possibly containing blood. These symptoms
are found in hypertrophy of the prostate.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Digitalis purpurea, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for digitalis: cardiac insufficiency; migraine.
Dioscorea Villosa – Wild Yam
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh underground parts of Dioscorea
villosa L., gathered after flowering. N.O. Dioscoreaceae.
The main indications are:
Gastro intestinal colics. Eructations of large quantities of tasteless air. Pain in the
left hypochondrium and in the centre of the abdomen, beginning in a small spot and
radiating out, starting during eating and persisting. Thin stools. Pancreatitis.
277
The author had the opportunity of proving homoeopathic Dioscorea Villosa, and
in so doing he was particularly troubled by the violent stomach-pains, which always
began during meals and persisted, so that he could only ever eat half as much as he
wanted.
The pains were localised in the left hypochondrium and radiated towards the centre
and as far as the heart. They were only relieved by standing upright. The pain
could also extend along the sternum and into the arm, however. There were also
general complaints in the intestines, worse when lying down, with rumblings and
discharge of much flatus, and colics with a tendency to bend double, relieved by
walking about.
Dioscorea Villosa is also suggested by renal colics with pains which extend into
the extremities.
Besides liver and biliary conditions, in which it is said to ease the passage of
stones, Dioscorea is also indicated in stomach cramps. It should be tried in renal
colic, and in diarrhoea which drives the patient out of bed first thing in the morning.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Dioscorea villosa, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for dioscorea villosa: colic of the gastro intestinal tract.
Diphtherinum – Nosode of Diphtheria
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from diphtheria vaccine.
The action of the remedy includes throat inflammations, especially recurring ones
(in combination with Baryta Carbonica). Such chronic throat inflammations can be
cured with Diphtherinum and Baryta Carbonica (to which might be added Spleen
sarcode once weekly, in order to strenghten the body’s defences).
In addition, Diphtherinum is effective in all oedematous swellings of the mucosa,
and also in illnesses which proceed with the discharge of serous exudates, such as
endocarditis, pleurisy, chronic nephritis with oedema, acute and chronic polyarthritis
with swellings. Diphtherinum can also be beneficial in tumours, e.g. cancer of the
oesophagus or larynx, and of the bronchi. Diphtherinum is beneficial in chronic blepharitis,
and in offensive, foetid mouth odour. Dangerously high fevers with dyspnoea
also often react well (in combination with Phosphorus). In acute illnesses, low
potencies are indicated.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Diphterinum-Nosode, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for diphtherinum: tonsillitis; paralysis after diphtheria.
278
Discus Intervertebralis Suis – Disc
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from fresh discs from the spinal
synchondroses of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Osteochondritis of the spine. Cervical spondylosis. Prolapse of nucleus pulposus.
Rheumatism and neuralgias of spinal origin.
Diverticulosis Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the surgically removed diverticuli
of the large intestine.
The Diverticulosis Nosode is indicated both in the presence of diverticuli and in
related conditions, e.g. general pre-cancerous states of the intestine.
Even though treatment of diverticulosis with the nosode of diverticulosis is obviously
purely isopathic, and isopathy – even theoretically – is less effective than homoeopathy,
it must always be borne in mind that the material for the nosode was obtained
from some one other than the patient under treatment and that therefore certain
differences of albumen-composition and in the specific foundations of the disease
apply. Thus even in such cases (where we are using the nosode of exactly the
same disease as presents in the patient), we may speak of a certain Law of Similars,
which is also borne out in the results of treatment. In general, the potencies needed
for each treatment and the indications for them are obtained by testing with electroacupuncture.
Dolichos Pruriens – Cow-Itch
The attenuations are prepared from the dried hairs from the pods of the plant, Mucuna
pruriens [L.] DC., a native of the West and East Indies. N.O. Leguminosae.
The main indications are:
Jaundice with pruritus. Eczema in liver damage.
Dolichos Pruriens affects the right-hand side of the body with pronounced liver
and skin symptoms, the intolerable itching being aggravated at night to extend to the
whole body, hindering sleep. It is aggravated rather than ameliorated by scratching;
however the skin shows no kind of exfoliation. Apart from jaundice with itching,
there is usually exhaustion with abdominal distension and pale stools, and there may
also be inflamed, swollen and extremely painful gums, so that food and drink can
279
hardly be taken into the mouth. A painful feeling occurs in the throat, below the
angle of the right lower jaw, as though a vertical splinter were lodged there; the pain
is worse on swallowing.
Dolichos is said to follow Rhus Tox. Functions well in herpetic eruptions. It is also
useful in teething, when the child has pains in the gums which hinder sleep.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Mucuna pruriens, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
dolichos pruriens: pruritus associated with hepatic diseases.
Doxycycline
The attenuations are prepared from the antibiotic Doxycycline hyclate
C22H25ClN2O8 · 0.5 C2H6O · 0.5 H2O, MW: 512.9 (Potentised allopathic compound).
The principal indications are:
Iatrogenic damage. Enzyme damage. Mutations. General use in cellular phases.
Drosera – Sundew
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh whole plants of Drosera intermedia
Hayne, Drosera anglica Huds. and Drosera rotundifolia L., gathered at the commencement
of flowering. N.O. Droseraceae.
The sundew (Drosera species) occurs in Eastern Europe, Asia and North America
and is an insectivorous plant, growing in peat-bogs, marshy meadows and on the
banks of ponds. One can scarcely discover the plant, because only the hair-thin
stalks rise out of the surrounding moss. On each of the purple glandular hairs which
spread out like rosette around the stem, is a small drop of clear, sticky fluid, like a
dew-drop. If a tiny insect touches one of these fine glandular hairs, it sticks fast. The
rosette of hairs then closes in a reflex action, so that the insect is caught and is digested
by enzymes.
As a homoeopathic remedy, Drosera has a typical sphere of indication, covering
principally the respiratory organs and the cough. The coughing comes in paroxysms
with frequent bursts, so that the patient can scarcely catch a breath between them,
and it is worse at night. It is often accompanied by vomiting and epistaxis. The stabbing
pains in the chest are so strong that the chest (and abdomen) must be pressed
with the hands. Thus Drosera is the prime remedy in whooping cough, and to a certain
extent represents the model of this illness (Dahlke). However, it is also indicated
in tubercular irritative cough and catarrh with simultaneous pleurisy.
280
In Drosera we also find a deep, hoarse voice and chronic hoarseness, such as occurs,
for example, in tuberculous laryngitis. A similar cough is an indication for
Verbascum; however in Drosera the focus is more in the larynx.
If we sum up the main symptoms of Drosera, we have the following characteristic
remedy-picture: - Whooping cough (Pertussis) with whistling breath and stabbing pains in the
chest, with cyanosis and suffocation, retching, and great diffiuclty in expectorating
the mucus. Vomiting occurs, possibly accompanied by epistaxis. - Great fear with the attacks. Children usually hold the chest and abdomen during
coughing. - Laryngeal catarrhs with intercurrent irritation of the pleura, with deep hoarse
voice. Chronic hoarseness in tubercular patients. - Asthma with violently spasmodic symptoms, cyanosis and retching.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Drosera, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
drosera: inflammations of the respiratory passages, especially whooping cough.
Ductus Auricularis Externus Suis – External Auditory Canal
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh skin and mucosa of
the external auditory canal of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The principal indications are:
Chronic eczema of the external auditory canal. Disturbances in excretion of earway.
Boils in the auditory canal. Chronic otitis externa.
Ductus Deferens Suis
see Vas Deferens Suis.
281
Dulcamara – Bittersweet
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh young shoots and leaves, gathered
before flowering, of the plant, Solanum dulcamara L., which grows by streams and
riverbanks and in damp thickets and areas liable to flooding in Europe, North
Africa, Northern India and China. N.O. Solanaceae.
Dulcamara, or Bittersweet, is indicated in a typical situation which to some extent
reflects the areas where the plant grows. Dulcamara, one of the Solanaceae distinguished
by its shiny blue and yellow flowers and red berries arranged like grapes, is
found in flood-areas which are at times completely under water. As Dulcamara
berries may be mistaken for red currants, cases of poisoning sometimes occur, particularly
in children. The symptoms of poisoning are diarrhoea, vomiting, colics,
sweating, skin-rash, convulsions, paralysis and possible death. The complaints of
Dulcamara are aggravated by cold, damp weather and when the weather changes,
especially in rainy weather. Also, when cool nights follow hot days, then Dulcamara
complaints usually occur, especially in the form of neuralgias and rheumatism. The
same is true of complaints which occur after becoming chilled when hot and perspiring,
e.g. in footballers. Thus Dulcamara acts in a hydrogenoid constitution. All
complaints tend to be ameliorated by warmth. Increased mucosal secretions are also
typical of Dulcamara.
Other symptoms which point to Dulcamara as the remedy are difficulty in thinking,
linked with certain states of confusion. The patients cannot find the words they
want, and can only pronounce them with difficulty. There is also often a dull
headache, coupled with hardness of hearing and a sensation of coldness in the occiput.
The nose is usually blocked as well (sinusitis), the discharge being more copious
in the warmth. The saliva is tough and soap-like.
Acute gastritis and enteritis, dysentery, cystitis and acute nephritis may also be
found as consequences of chill and getting thoroughly wet. These are associated
with violent stomach pains, colic, mucous, sour or dysenteric watery stools, pains
persisting even after the stool, associated with colic and rheumatic complaints.
Cystitis with mucous, offensive urine and continual strangury is likewise typical
of Dulcamara, especially when the onset coincides with a sudden spell of cold, wet
weather, or occurs after getting thoroughly wet. The same holds for coughs which
occur after a thorough soaking. Dulcamara can be beneficial in acute nephritis, with
violent pains in the renal area and with mucous, albuminous, offensive urine. Likewise
in influenza with coryza, cough, haemoptysis, and tonsillitis with muscular
pains and fever, various pareses (e.g. Bell’s palsy) often also occurring as a consequence
of getting wet.
Also typical of Dulcamara are urticarial symptoms as a consequence of gastric
disturbances, with large, burning itching, swollen patches, often along with diarrhoea;
similarly these symptoms are typically aggravated by warmth and ameliorated
by cold. Dulcamara is also a remedy for cradle-cap, when the scales are dry and
bran-like.
282
The typical aggravation of all symptoms when the weather changes, and especially
in cold, wet weather, is always characteristic of Dulcamara. Thus the remedy has
proved its worth in chronic sore throats, when these always occur or are worse in
wet weather. This is often the case with suppurating tonsils, thus Dulcamara is one
of the best remedies for suppurating tonsils. Also spinal inflammation after lying on
damp grass demands Dulcamara.
Dulcamara is also beneficial in asthma which comes on in wet weather, likewise
in ear-aches which occur with every chill, and conjunctivitis with a thick, purulent
discharge.
Dulcamara also has progressive vicariations after suppression of discharges by
chilling, e.g. menstruation (with vicarious epistaxis), lochia, milk and nasal catarrhs,
followed by onset of fever and headaches in vicariation; these will be cured by Dulcamara,
particularly if the cause was a chill in cold, damp weather. Dulcamara is
also required in influenza-like states, when the whole body feels battered and there
is a dull, swimming feeling in the head, possibly associated with hardness of hearing;
also in herpetic eruptions on the genitalia, breasts and lips, and herpes which
erupts before each monthly period, possibly with formation of crusts and easy bleeding.
There is usually a characteristic activity of the mucosa with marked secretions,
whilst the skin may be comparatively inactive. However, rheumatic conditions such
as torticollis, stiffness and weakness in the back, sensation of coldness in the
sacrum, rheumatic pains in the limbs and joints, associated with stiffness and deafness,
are particularly characteristic of Dulcamara. The cough which requires Dulcamara
is hoarse and dry, loose later with copious expectoration. The diarrhoea which
is relieved by Dulcamara is accompanied by a cutting pain around the umbilicus.
With catarrhs which require Dulcamara, the nose is usually blocked. In warmth, copious
discharge begins.
Dulcamara can also be useful in warts, where these are large and fleshy.
If we sum up the main symptoms of Dulcamara once again, we have the following
characteristic remedy-picture: - Symptoms occur or are aggravated when weather turns cold and wet. (Hydrogenoid
constitution.) - Rheumatism of muscles and joints, and lumbago, following chill and getting wet,
with twitching of muscles, eyelids and mouth. Stiffness of the neck and violent
muscular pains in the loins, possibly associated with diarrhoea and cystitis, (diversion
into excretory processes). Amelioration from dry warmth and movement.
Typical intercostal neuralgias and neuralgic pains in the left neck/shoulder area;
also intercostal neuralgias (cf. Ranunculus, Colocynthis), with sensation of pressure
and heaviness on the shoulders. - Pareses of various kinds following thorough wetting, or worse in wet, cold weather.
- Acute gastritis with violent pains, vomiting, colics and mucous, sour stools. Umbilical
colics.
283 - Cystitis and nephritis following chill and thorough wetting, with mucous, offensive
urine and continuous strangury. Also paralysis of the bladder, aggravated in
cold, damp weather. - Influenzal colds with coryza, coughing, haematemesis. Catarrhal bronchitis,
laryngitis, tracheitis with hoarseness and copious expectoration. Acute and chronic
tonsillitis. Suppurating tonsils, also of a chronic kind, linked with muscular
pain, diarrhoea, colic and fever. - Urticaria with large, burning and itching swollen patches, often associated with
diarrhoea, worse for warmth, better for cold. Cradle-cap with dry, bran-like
desquamation. Large, fleshy warts. Herpetic eruptions on the genitalia, breasts,
lips, especially before each menstrual period. Swelling of the breasts. - Nosebleeds in vicariation with the menses.
- Thinking more difficult. Words cannot be found or can only be pronounced with
difficulty. Along with this, certain states of confusion.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Solanum dulcamara, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for dulcamara: feverish infections; inflammations of the respiratory organs,
the gastrointestinal tract, the urinary tract, the joints, and the skin, as elicited
by exposure to cold and wet.
Duodenitis Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the surgically removed inflamed
duodenum.
The main indications are:
Duodenal ulcer and chronic inflammation of the duodenum; also as an intermediate
remedy in pancreatitis.
Duodenum Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh duodenum of a healthy
pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The principal indications are:
Duodenal ulcer. Ulcerous diathesis. Inflammation of the duodenum. Pancreatitis.
Peptic oesophagitis. Pylorospasm.
284
Echinacea Angustifolia – Coneflower
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant in flower, with root, of
Echinacea angustifolia DC., a native of North America. N.O. Compositae.
The main indications are:
Fever, sepsis, inflammations of every kind.
Echinacea is an “internal antiseptic”, acting on the lymphatic system. In the comprehensive
provings (Fahnestock), the first symptom was a biting, prickling sensation
on the tongue, on the lip and in the throat; a feeling of fear and pain in the
praecordium followed. After that there appeared fever-symptoms with a sensation of
fullness in the head, a red face and rapid pulse. Many provers also complained of
weakness and sharp, neuralgic pains moving here and there, also of catarrhs of the
digestive and respiratory organs, with griping abdominal pains and discharge of evilsmelling
flatus and thin, yellowish stools. In two provers a decrease in the red blood
corpuscles was established.
In America, Echinacea was formerly used not only for typhoid fevers, diphtheria,
malignant scarlet fever, carbuncles and boils, but also for snake bites. Later on, diarrhoea,
cholera infantum, adynamic feverish states, appendicitis, blood-poisoning,
puerperal fever, pyaemia and toxaemia from poison-ivy were added as indications.
Echinacea was used as well for the bad consequences of vaccination, in gangrene,
abscesses, ulcers of a tubercular or syphilitic kind, or when a malignant degeneration
began in the course of acute or subacute illnesses.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Echinacea angustifolia, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for echinacea angustifolia: adjuvant therapy for serious and feverish infections.
Echinacea Purpurea – Black Sampson
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant in flower, without root,
of Echinacea purpurea [L.] Moench, a native of North America. N.O. Compositae.
The indications are as for Echinacea angustifolia. When it is injected intravenously,
a strange taste is detected on the tongue.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Echinacea purpurea, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for echinacea purpurea: adjuvant therapy for serious and feverish infections.
285
Echinococcinum Nosode – Nosode of Echinococcus
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from antigen of the canine tapeworm,
Echinococcus.
Following spontaneous (traumatic or surgical) opening up of the primary cysts,
there is a universal scattering of the ova, with possible serious and fatal destruction
of the affected organs. On the other hand, tumour-like growths may develop with
perforable cavities.
Since in the case of echinococcosis we are dealing with a worm-infestation, it is
questionable whether the echinococcosis itself is susceptible to the nosode, but it
should at least be tried, taken on account of the other symptoms, which may vary according
to the way in which the organs are affected.
However, the use of the nosode should be generally borne in mind in other tumour-
like growths, and as an intermediate remedy in treating neoplasms. Prophylaxis
is all-important, i.e. avoidance of close contact with dogs, since they are frequently
infested with the canine tapeworm (Echinococcus).
Embryo Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the 6 to 8 week old embryo of a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
For revitalisation. General use in cellular phases. Arteriosclerosis. Muscular dystrophy.

Dr. David Riley.
Congruent symptoms with Dr. Reckeweg:
• Pain and cramping in the extremities, particularly in the legs.
• Disturbances of the circulation.

L. N.O. Ephedraceae.
The main indications are:
Asthmatic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Dyspnoea. May be tried in emphysema.
According to the provings carried out by the Russian doctor Mouravow, it acts on
the ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system and causes congestion of the spinal
cord with great apathy, stiffness of the neck and backward pulling of the whole body
on turning the head; there was also protrusion of the eyes and violent headache with
a slow pulse and violent pains in the region of the spleen.
Ephedra should also be tried in goitre with exophthalmos and headache.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ephedra distachya, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for ephedra vulgaris: Basedow’s disease.
289
Epididymis Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh epididymis of a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Disturbances in fertility and potency, as a supporting remedy with Carcinoma
Recti.
Equisetum Arvense – Common Horsetail
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh, sterile shoots, gathered in late
summer, of the plant Equisetum arvense L., a native of Europe, North Africa and
North America. N.O. Equisetaceae.
The main indications are:
Cystitis, pyelitis. Copious discharge of mucus in the urine. Dull, raw pain in the
bladder. Nephrolithiasis. Gravel in the urine. Nocturnal enuresis, associated with irritation
of the bladder.
All varieties of Equisetum act primarily on the connective tissue and the urinary
tract. In the symptomatology we find renal pain, extending as far as the bladder and
urethra. Urging to urinate with violent pains after urination, and passage of urine
drop by drop are typical symptoms; there are also violent burning and cutting pains
on urination. Retention of urine and strangury during pregnancy and after parturition
are also pointers towards Equisetum. The pains are predominantly in the area of the
right kidney and in the right loin, extend to the lower abdomen with urging to urinate,
and are aggravated by movement, pressure and sitting down, and ameliorated
in a lying position.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Equisetum arvense, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for equisetum arvense: diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract.
Equisetum Hiemale – Scouring Rush
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant, Equisetum hiemale L.,
which grows in damp woodlands and marshes of Europe and North America.
N.O. Equisetaceae.
The indications for Equisetum Hiemale are the same as for Equisetum Arvense,
with one particular divergence. In Equisetum Hiemale, being an aquatic plant, not
290
only is the influence on the urinary system particularly clearly marked, but also the
ill-effects of dampness and becoming wet.
See Equisetum Arvense
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Equisetum hiemale, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for equisetum hiemale: diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract.
Erigeron Canadensis – Canada Flea-Bane
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh flowering aerial parts of
Conyza canadensis [L.] Cronq., a native of North America, Europe and Central
Asia. N.O. Compositae.
The main indications are:
Bright red spurting haemorrhages, aggravated by any motion. Haemoptysis. Metrorrhagia.
Apart from haemorrhages, the symptomatology also includes headaches with ringing
in the right ear and – localised particularly on the right side – burning in the
eyes, pain in the right eye and increased mucous secretion from the nose, as well as
epistaxis (of bright red blood).
Especially in rainy weather there can be pains in the right elbow and in the carpal
bones and wrists, also rheumatic drawing pain in the right thumb, and a pain in the
left ankle, worse when walking. Violent pains in the knees (in rainy weather) also
speak for Erigeron.
Haemorrhages also occur in the gums. Profuse haemorrhage from a tooth-socket
has also been observed, as have a bad taste in the mouth and a sensation of a plug in
the pharynx.
Erigeron is particularly indicated in a wide variety of haemorrhages from the female
genitalia, when they occur in gushes and are associated with painful urination.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Conyza canadensis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for erigeron canadensis: bleeding of the uterus and urinary bladder; bleeding
associated with haemorrhoids; inflammations of the stomach, liver and gallbladder.

Apart from the feverish illnesses and catarrhs, there are herpetic eruptions on the
skin with swollen lymph nodes, and rheumatic pains with a pricking sensation in the
muscles and joints with nocturnal aggravation, tiredness and stiffness of the limbs.
Eucalyptus is also beneficial in symptoms of intestinal influenza with a burning
sensation in the stomach and abdomen, great heat in the rectum, urging for stool,
painful defaecation and violent diarrhoea with blood.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Eucalyptus globulus, published

Gazette) for eucalyptus: inflammations of the respiratory passages, the kidneys,
and the urinary tract collection system.
Eupatorium Cannabinum – Dutch Agrimony
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh flowering plant, Eupatorium
cannabinum L., a native of Europe. N.O. Compositae.
Eupatorium Cannabinum is used as a folk-remedy for the cleansing of the blood in
diseases of the liver, bile and spleen. It contains a bitter substance, the glycoside Eupatorin,
also resins and tannins. It is also used as a fever-remedy: “it makes fever
bearable”.
It is mainly used together with other single remedies suitable for particular syndromes,
or in combination-remedies.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Eupatorium cannabinum, pub-
292
lished the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for eupatorium cannabinum: parainfluenzal feverish diseases.

feverish diseases of the hepatobiliary system; rheumatism.
Euphorbia Cyparissias – Cypress Spurge
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant in flower of Euphorbia
cyparissias L., which occurs on grassy pastures in Europe and North Africa. N.O.
Euphorbiaceae.
The main indications are:
Irritation of nerves and skin. (Prickling and burning.)
The indications for almost all the Euphorbiaceae correspond to the action of Euphorbium,
Euphorbia Cyparissias having an intensive action on the skin, causing violent
prickling and burning, with chilly shuddering occurring simultaneously.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Euphorbia cyparissias, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for euphorbia cyparissias: redness of the skin.
293
Euphorbium – Gum Euphorbium
The attenuations are prepared from the hardened sap of Euphorbia resinifera
Berg, a native of Morocco, N.O. Euphorbiaceae.
The main indications are:
Violent irritation of mucous membranes, leading to catarrhs of the eyes, nose, and
larynx. Sensation of dryness in spite of great secretion. Erysipelas with large blisters.
Pains in the bones.
Eustachian catarrh. Supporting remedy in nasal ulceration. Extremely strong burning
pains in mucosal conditions.
Euphorbium has one sure indication, and that is swelling of the middle ear, with
a sensation of complete deafness in the affected ear, possibly associated with tinnitus.
The swelling of the middle ear does not generally respond to Apis, as one might
expect, but almost exclusively to Euphorbium. The author had to treat a 40-year-old
businessman with this symptom, who had been an out-patient at a university hospital
for 2 months, with no improvement in spite of many treatments. One single injection
of Euphorbium brought about a considerable improvement. After about
3 injections the whole condition was finally and permanently removed.
Successfully treated cases are the best recommendation for homoeopathy. In this
case, too, our colleagues at the hospital were interested in the therapy which the patient
had received.
Further indications for Euphorbium are catarrh in the Eustachian tubes, pharyngitis,
laryngeal catarrh, sinusitis and catarrhs of various sinuses.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Euphorbium, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
euphorbium: acute dermal inflammations; inflammations of the respiratory passages.
Euphrasia – Eyebright
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant in flower of
Euphrasia stricta D. Wolf ex F.J. Lehm, E. rostkoviana Hayne and their hybrides.
These plants are growing in grassy pastures and meadows in Europe. N.O. Scrophulariaceae.
The principal indications are:
Spasmodic photophobia, especially in daylight. Cutting pains and pressure in the
eyes. Acute conjunctivitis, fluent coryza with lachrymation, chemosis, purulent discharge.
Blepharitis. Corneal ulcer. Iritis.
294
Apart from diseases of the eyes, Euphrasia is also indicated in coryza with massive
discharge of mucus and swimming of the head; also in weakness of memory
and difficulty in speaking.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Euphrasia officinalis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for euphrasia: inflammations of the eyes; inflammations of the upper respiratory
passages.
Fagopyrum – Buckwheat

mature. Fagopyrum esculentum Moench. N.O. Polygonaceae.
The main indications are:
Pruritus. Neuralgias. Eczemas. Hyperemesis gravidarum. Leucorrhoea. Rheumatism.
One symptom which can lead to Fagopyrum is pain in the eyeballs, as if they
where being squeezed out. Another is a sensation of burning in the right ovary.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Fagopyrum exculentum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for fagopyrum: headaches; dermal and hepatic diseases associated with
pruritus.

of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Disorders of liver function and excretion, and also of the general liver detoxification.
Overgrowth of bowel flora. Tachycardia and arrhythmia of the heart.
295
Ferrum-II-Fumaricum – Ferric Fumarate
The attenuations are prepared from Ferric(II)-fumarate, C4H2FeO4, MW: 169.91.
By coupling iron with fumaric acid, its relationship to oxygen transport is substantially
strengthened, since fumaric acid, as a catalyst of the Citric Acid cycle,
likewise displays substantial relationships to the supply and utilisation of oxygen.
May be tried in degeneration phases, or in disturbances of oxygen utilisation
(blocking of Citric Acid cycle), e.g. in psoriasis, pernicious anaemia, etc.
Ferrum Iodatum – Iron Iodide
The attenuations are prepared from metallic iron and iodine, FeI2, MW: 309.6.
The main indications are:
Glandular enlargement. Tubercular infections of the eyes. Hypertrophy of the
prostate.
Ferrum Iodatum has a typical pain in the throat “as if from splinters”. Purulent
conjunctivitis with photophobia, and a swollen nose with copious mucous discharge
also point to Ferrum Iodatum, as does a sensation as if one cannot bend down on account
of fullness and pressure below the sternum, although one has had only a little
to eat. On sitting, there is also a sensation as if something were pushing upwards.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ferrum iodatum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
ferrum iodatum: goiterous disorders in cases of hyperthyroidism; renal inflammations;
chronic swelling of the lymph glands; uterine displacement.
Ferrum Metallicum – Iron
The attenuations are prepared from metallic iron, Fe, AW: 55.85.
Along with its salts, Iron is one of the most important metals, and should be regarded
as an essential building block of the human organism, especially of the red
blood corpuscles; thus it occupies a key position in the turnover of oxygen.
A typical modality (i.e. altering state) of Ferrum is the aggravation when at rest
and the amelioration on slowly moving about; this is generally true of Ferrum, not
only of its pains but also of its haemorrhages. This aggravation is particularly
marked after midnight, with intolerance of heat, although Ferrum patients also take
badly to cold. At the same time there is an increase in physical and mental irritability.
(According to Dahlke, an irritable weakness.)
296
One of the main indications for Ferrum is anaemia with corresponding subsidiary
symptoms such as vertigo, nervousness, debility and fever. Ferrum is also suggested
by congestive headaches with beating and pulsation, particularly with the sensation
as if the head would burst, and also with vertigo and staggering, with flushed face
and cold feet.
Ferrum symptoms are particularly pronounced after mental work.
The state of ill-health formerly known as chlorosis, with pale, waxy complexion,
pale lips and almost white mucosa, is nowadays more precisely defined as anaemia.
Suddenly and abruptly the face can become flushed, with violent pulsation of the
blood vessels and oedematous swelling in the dependent parts of the body, particularly
the ankles, and also with shivering and palpitations. This constitutes Ferrum
symptomatology. Associated with it there may also be symptoms of gastritis, linked
with nausea, stomach pains, pressure in the stomach, vomiting, aversion to meat,
craving for sour things and usually constipation.
There may also be muscular weakness, emaciation, fatigue after slight movement
and a depressive mood. As in Calcium Carbonicum we find cold feet and fingers
with hot head and face, or the face may be red but cold (pseudoplethora). The pulsating
in the occiput is worse on bending down and on coughing. The headache and
facial pain may extend to the teeth and are ameliorated by cold water. The diarrhoea
is painless and watery and contains undigested food, occurring after every meal and
at night (cf. Ferrum Phosphoricum).
The renal area is sensitive to pressure and the urine may contain albumen or blood,
or may be copious and light-coloured. Likewise Ferrum often acts beneficially in
enuresis. The menses generally commence too early and are copious, mixed with watery
or bright red blood, including dark clots. Varicose veins in the legs may be aggravated
during the menses. The uterine region is usually sensitive to pressure. Leucorrhoea
is also a symptom of Ferrum, and the libido may be depressed, even to the point
of frigidity. Sterility or amenorrhoea often occur. Pressure and heaviness are felt in the
chest, so that the patient can only walk about slowly, and there is persistent hoarseness
and a dry, tickling cough, associated with a flushed face and vomiting, as in Drosera.
This may be accompanied by throbbing pain in the occiput. From time to time there
may be expectoration of blood-streaked mucus or of pure blood. At the same time the
patient complains of fleeting stabbing pains in the chest and a sensation as if the chest
were raw. These may be initial symptoms of tuberculosis.
Further indications for Ferrum include rheumatic complaints of a boring, tearing
kind in the arms and legs, driving the patient out of bed at night to walk about; also
hot flushes, the complexion suddenly changing from pale to red, associated with
pulsation throughout the body and with weakness and trembling, sleeplessness and
dyspnoea. The venous circulation is also affected, with a tendency to haemorrhage,
and also to distension of the veins.
Ferrum has a typical action in rheumatism of the left shoulder, although it can also
affect the right side. (Ferrum Phosphoricum, Chelidonium and Sanguinaria usually
have a better effect on the right side.) Chronic digestive disturbances and vomiting
in pregnancy may also be indications for Ferrum. In inflammatory rheumatic fevers,
297
where the body is cold with a full, strong pulse and thirst during chill, Ferrum is
likewise indicated (though Ferrum Phosphoricum is better). Intercurrent doses of
Ferrum should be given in chronic heart conditions with anaemia, and also in haemorrhage
when there is a sensitive, painful feeling in the affected parts (uterus or
lungs). In particular an extreme degree of nervousness suggests Ferrum, and it is
likewise called for in petechiae.
A few of the salts of Ferrum have certain special indications: thus Ferrum Phosphoricum
acts particularly in otitis media, inflammation of the Eustachian tubes and
tonsils, dysentery, nocturnal enuresis, throat inflammations of singers and – the opposite
of Ferrum – rheumatism of the right shoulder joint. If Ferrum Phosphoricum
is called for in fever, the pulse is usually full and soft.
Ferrum Picrinicum is recommended for hypertrophy of the prostate, and also in
chronic tinnitus and deafness with a gouty background; also in states of nervous exhaustion.
Ferrum Iodatum is recommended for scrofula and anaemia, in tumours, mammary
and other glandular swellings, and especially for bearing-down sensations in the
genitalia on sitting down (cf. Sepia, Lilium Tigrinum).
Ferrum Sulphuricum is indicated in Grave’s disease, associted with anaemia, and
in morning diarrhoea.
If we sum up the symptoms of Ferrum, we have the resulting essential remedypicture
which follows. - Anaemia with pallor of skin and mucosa, face alternately hot and red. Cold
limbs. Hot flushes. - Chilly. Mentally tired. Emaciated. Asthenic.

Ferrum Muriaticum – Ferrun Sesquichloratum Solutum
The attenuations are prepared from aqueous solution of Ferric chloride hexahydrate,
FeCl3 · 6 H2O, MW: 270.3 as well as Fe (AW: 55.85).
This remedy has a characteristic action on complaints and diseases of the right
side of the body, particularly neuralgias and headaches on the right side of the face
and head, and rheumatism of the right shoulder, especially if there are pains at night.
Ferrum Muriaticum is also indicated in haemorrhages of all kinds and in the consequent
weakness; also in restlessness and nervousness. A further symptom is
swelling of the spleen with pains in the left hypochondrium.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ferrum sesquichloratum solutum,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for ferrum muriaticum = ferrum sesquichloratum: anaemia;
paramenia during puberty; rheumatism of the right shoulder.
Ferrum Phosphoricum – Iron Phosphate
The attenuations are prepared from evaportaded aqueous Ferric phosphate.
The main indications are:
Feverish states. Otitis media. Acute polyarthritis. Pneumonia. Nocturnal enuresis
and diurnal incontinence of urine, also irritation of the neck of the bladder. Hoarseness
of singers. Aggravation at night.
Ferrum Phosphoricum is the main fever remedy in Schüssler’s therapy (Biochemic
tissue-salts). Here we have the same characteristic features as in the other iron compounds,
such as anaemia, haemorrhages, arterial disease, inflammations, distension
and sclerosis of the blood-vessels in general, physical and mental slackness, nervousness,
exhaustion and rheumatic conditions, as well as acute rheumatism which
makes its presence felt particularly at night.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ferrum phosphoricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for ferrum phosphoricum: feverish, inflammatory diseases of the respiratory
organs; haemorrhages and their sequelae; rheumatic diseases of the spine and
shoulder joints.
299
Ferrum Sulphuricum – Iron Sulphate
The attenuations are prepared from Iron(II)-sulphate, FeSO4 · 7 H2O, MW: 278.0.
The main indications are:
Hot flushes. Sensitivity to cold and to fresh air.
Ferrum Sulphuricum also displays the main features of iron, but also many of
those of sulphur. As in Sulphur there is an amelioration from warmth or in a warm
room, and aggravation from cold or in fresh air, whilst the opposite is the case with
Ferrum.
Ferrum Sulphuricum is also indicated in gastric acidity with eructation of remains
of food, also in haemorrhages, pains in the gall-bladder, and a sensation as if all the
blood were shooting into the head or face. A sensation of fermentation and rumbling
in the stomach also points to Ferrum Sulphuricum. There are also muscular pains, a
general sensation of heat with pallor or flushing, and a tendency to sweat. In former
times Ferrum Sulphuricum was recommended for incipient thyrotoxicosis in
anaemic girls.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ferrum sulphuricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for ferrum sulphuricum: hyperthyroidism.
Fibroma Pendulum – Nosode of Skin-Fibroma
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the surgically removed Fibroma
pendulum.
As fibromas can sometimes degenerate into sarcomas as a result of thoughtless removal,
e.g. being pulled off with tweezers, the use of this nosode is recommended,
especially in the enzyme-digested form, in growths of connective tissue, particularly
in sarcomas. However, it can also be used in epithelial tumours, chancroids, rodent
ulcers, etc., since in these cases the Law of Similars can be more powerfully applied.
Fluor Albus Nosode – Nosode of Leucorrhoea
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from vaginal discharge (leucorrhoea).
Leucorrhoea must be understood as an outlet with a biological purpose, for the
elimination of a wide variety of homotoxins. Thus, from a biological point of view,
300
it is an absurdity to suppress it by external means, since in this way great biological
damage will be caused, which may be responsible not least for the creation of neoplasms
(uterus, ovaries). The enormous increase in the incidence of uterine cancer
may be traced back to such retoxic practices, and also the completely wrong but
generally widespread consumption of pork (and all kinds of sausage, which contains
a high percentage of pork), and of course also of ham, bacon, etc. Leucorrhoea can
only be healed in a biologically acceptable way if women keep to a diet which is
strictly free of pig-meat.
Of course, the success of such dietary measures will only become noticeable after
a period of some months, since the sutoxic factors of pork become built into the connective
tissue (sutoxic fatty acids as part of an adipose state) and, because of their
enormous calorific content, can only be metabolised slowly.
The nosode is not indicated only in leucorrhoea, but also in illnesses following the
suppression of it. It may also be used particularly as an intermediate remedy in neoplasms
of the female reproductive tract, to mobilise the body’s defences against this
cause of damage. As is the case with other nosodes, one can often then see the original
illness, having previously been suppressed, coming out again, usually associated
with appropriate discharges, and in no way must this be suppressed again.
If discharges of any kind occur (with the exception of haemorrhages), they must
always be regarded as an outlet serving a biological purpose, by way of which – particularly
after the use of nosodes – the originally responsible homotoxins are being
set in motion and channelled towards detoxifying elimination.
Just as is the case with the onset of sweating in an attack of feverish influenza, patients
usually find that this resumption of elimination is associated with an improvement
in the way they otherwise feel. In many cases doctors are able to confirm this
in terms of an improvement in pre-existing degeneration phases.
The Fluor Albus nosode may also be tried in adnexitis, parametritis, salpingitis,
endometritis, ovarian cysts and other affections of the female reproductive tract, particularly
in cases where a vaginal discharge has previously been suppressed. For it is
possible for all these conditions to stem from such a previous retoxication.
Here one must also bear in mind the relationships with neural therapy since, in
chemotherapeutic treatment of leucorrhoea and of ulcerations of the uterine cervix
often very potent drugs are used, resulting in the complete disintegration of the tissues
with which they come into contact, and this must be followed by the stimulation
of new tissue-growth. In this process the neural receptors of the vaginal mucosa
certainly sustain damage in the form of an impregnation phase, and this can be expressed,
for example, as neuralgia in remote areas of the body (e.g. trigeminal), or
even as other forms of neurosis, e.g. complaints resembling angina pectoris etc.
Thus in treating women it is necessary to enquire in every case whether, at some
time, an often apparently innocuous leucorrhoea has been treated and cured, possibly
in a matter of days. In all such cases the Fluor Albus nosode should be given,
and the patient cautioned on no account to have the leucorrhoea treated by any kind
of suppressive therapy when it recurs.
301
Following the Law of Similars, the Fluor Albus nosode could also be deployed in
other mucosal catarrhs of a mucous or mucopurulent kind, e.g. of the sinuses, where
in some cases relationships may be established with the nervous system in determining
the focus of the disease.
Fluoricum Acidum – Fluoric Acid
The attenuations are prepared from Hydrofluoric acid, HF, MW: 20.01.
Corresponding to the seriously destructive effect of fluoric acid on organic tissues,
the homoeopathic preparation is indicated in destructive processes such as bedsores,
ulcerations, varicose ulcers and the like, with deeper tissues also being affected.
The patient is ameliorated by movement (and by driving in a car).
Fluoric Acid is indicated in a great variety of geriatric problems, especially in prematurely
aged patients with weak circulation; also alcoholic patients with cirrhosis
of the liver. Goitre can also be an indication for Fluoric Acid, also premature loss of
teeth, caries and the consequences of mercury poisoning and chronic syphilis.
A typical sign of Fluoric Acid is a swelling of the glabella, with distension and
coating of the root of the nose.
This remedy causes great lassitude with burning or boring pains in the facial
bones, lower arms and thighs. The pains may occur diagonally, e.g. on the right side
in the upper half of the body and on the left side in the lower half. Complaints are
aggravated by sitting, being in a room, and by mental exertion; they are ameliorated
by standing and walking. There is also aggravation from stimulants (coffee, alcohol),
and from warmth.
In an unusually cheerful mood, irritability may occur, with vilification of one’s
friends and indifference to one’s own family.
The actual symptoms which make up the picture of Fluoric Acid are often difficult
to fathom, as they are also found in other remedies. One thinks first and foremost of
Fluoric Acid when one sees the puffiness of the glabella, and in inflammatory conditions
with formation of vesicles and enlargement of the capillaries of the skin; also
if the hair is falling out and there is brittleness of the nails and the palms of the
hands are hot and sweaty.
Fluoric Acid is also indicated in diseases of the bones, particularly caries of the
long bones and pains in the long bones at night, as also found in osteoporosis. Further
indications are nervous disturbances with orgasms of blood, ravenous hunger
and abnormal sexual arousal. Also acrid discharges, chronic rheumatism and ulceration
of the tongue of a syphilitic nature are indications.
Typical symptoms which may also lead us to this remedy are: increased salivation
at night (cf. Mercurius Sol. Hahnemanni), increased appetite and hunger which may
increase to the point of gluttony, with a craving for spicy foods and coffee. There
may be heartburn and offensive eructations, also abdominal pains with frequent
302
rumbling and distension, discharge of foul-smelling flatus with loose stools morning
and evening and diarrhoea at night, possibly with haemorrhoids, prolapse of the
anus and pruritus ani.
There is a typical sticking pain, maybe with drawing, in the right testicle, towards
the inguinal ring, and typical skin symptoms include pustular and vesicular eruptions
and itching in old scar tissue, and especially soreness of the nipples and mammary
glands with redness and itching of the skin.
In fever, cool air is welcome. The perspiration of Fluoric Acid is copious, pungent
and offensive.
Certain spinal symptoms, especially in the area of the sixth thoracic vertebra,
make us think of Fluoric Acid as a possibly effective remedy in Scheuermann’s disease,
especially when spasmodic contractions are present in the neck muscles and
there is paraesthesia of one hand or one arm, and possibly a battered sensation in the
left hip with pains in the knee joints, the legs easily going to sleep and the ankles
being painful as a result of spinal disorders. In such cases Fluoric Acid must be used
with perseverance, preferably as a single remedy.
The catarrhal symptoms may include colds and attacks of coughing in the larynx,
with expectoration of frothy mucus (cf. Phosphorus).
If we summarise the most important symptoms of Fluoric Acid we find the following
symptom-picture: - Mostly chronic affections with destruction of tissue and organs, especially in the
skeletal area (long bones and spine). Scheuermann’s disease. Nervous irritation
proceeding from the spine, especially neck muscles and sixth thoracic vertebra.
Paraesthesia in arms and legs. Pains in the bones at night. Pains in the coccyx. - Lassitude. Inclination to motion without getting tired, with burning or boring
pains from irritation of nerves. Complaints occur diagonally, better for standing,
driving and walking, worse sitting, in a room and after mental exertion. Airhunger
“like internal suffocation”. - Cheerful mood but indifference towards the family and possible maliciousness towards
friends. Feels like “a poor wretch”. - Pustular and vesicular eruptions on the skin and on scar tissue with itching. Nails
break off. Ulcers of the lower leg. Naevi. Prostration. Bedsores. Falling out of
hair. Vesicular eczema and prominence of the capillaries in the skin. - Fever without chill, with copious, pungent and offensive sweat. Amelioration
from cool air. - Swimming in the head with swaying and a heavy sensation. Itching in the inner
canthi, “like wind blowing through the eyes”. - Catarrhal laryngitis and bronchitis with a short, dry cough. Ulceration of the
tongue. Caries of the teeth. Insatiable appetite; “gluttony”. Diarrhoea with foulsmelling
flatus. Pains radiating from the testicle to the inguinal ring. Swollen
scrotum. Leucorrhoea with ulceration of the cervix. - Scanty, dark, strong urine. Has a diuretic action.
- A typical leading symptom is the swelling of the glabella with amelioration from
driving and motion.

Fumaricum Acidum – Fumaric Acid
The attenuations are prepared from Fumaric acid, C4H4O4, MW: 116.1.
An active factor in the Citric Acid cycle and in redox systems. All impregnation
phases, also asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis, pre-cancerous
states and in neoplasm phases (especially in the early stages), to improve cell-respiration.
Hay fever. Allergies. Has a diuretic effect.
The patients who need Fumaric Acid are mostly pasty, puffy and short of breath,
with greasy skin and hair and heart problems, accompanied by a reduction in kidney
function and a strong tendency to perspiration, somewhat similar to the picture of
Kali Carbonicum.
Malic Acid and Fumaric Acid should always be injected together, in order to avoid
disturbances in the following chain of the Citric Acid cycle.
Like all Citric Acid cycle catalysts, Fumaric Acid has a regulating action on internal
respiration, for example in asthma, hay fever and in head symptoms which are better
for fresh air (cf. Pulsatilla), and also in cyanotic puffiness of the face with vertigo.
It has disturbances in the metabolisation of lipids and steroids, with premature arteriosclerosis.
Here it is recommended in combination with Malic Acid for the treatment
of hypertension, also for the treatment and prevention of embolism.
The symptoms have a certain similarity with those of Baryta Oxalsuccinica. The
difference between them is that in Fumaric Acid the symptoms appear suddenly,
frequently fluctuate and are worse after every meal, almost always with hypertonic
headaches or striking redness of the skin, whereas Baryta Oxalsuccinica is distinguished
by its insidiousness, its sluggish reaction and its less violent exudative
processes.
It is also related to the production of bile, formation of gallstones, pancreatic function
and diseases of the kidneys, particularly nephrosis with hypertension and dark
307
red cyanotic facial colouring and a tendency to collapse, with cold sweat. If the
urine stands for a long time, a greasy skin forms on the surface (cf. Phosphoricum
Acidum). Eczema and suppurations occur on the scrotum and the penis.
Fumaric Acid can also be of service in inflammatory diseases of the genitalia,
such as oophoritis, orchitis, parametritis, and in acrid leucorrhoea and female infertility.
It should particularly be thought of in such cases if emotional changes occur
before the periods, also in vomiting during pregnancy with violent headache and
raised blood-pressure. Menopausal hot flushes can also be favourably influenced by
Fumaric Acid.
The drug picture of Acidum fumaricum was composed in May 1995 by David
Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.

Galium Aparine – Cleavers/Goose-Grass
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Galium
aparine L., very commonly found in the Northern hemisphere. N.O. Rubiaceae.
Galium Aparine is used both internally and externally as a folk-remedy against
cancer, and also against glandular swellings and ulcers.
Galium Aparine also acts especially on the urinary system and is said to be able to
dissolve renal calculi. Hale mentions the removal of a hard, nodulated tumour of the
tongue in a 60-year-old woman.
According to Boericke, Galium Aparine is also useful in oedema, dysuria and cystitis,
and is said to have the power of suspending or modifying the further development
of a carcinoma. Its use in cancerous ulcers and nodular tumours of the tongue
has been clinically verified. It has an influence on old skin complaints and scurvy. It
also favours healthy granulation tissue on ulcerated surfaces.
Particularly in conjunction with other biological anti-cancer remedies and with extracts
of other varieties of Galium, Galium Aparine has a powerful effect in favour of
regressive vicariation. In other words, when acute illness, skin eruptions, discharges,
etc. have been suppressed, resulting in cellular phases, possibly also in degeneration
and incipient neoplasm phases, it is able to reverse these phases in a biologically
correct way, along the lines of regressive vicariation. Thus Galium has proved itself
to be of great importance in geriatrics, regulating numerous basic autonomic functions
which are disturbed to a greater or lesser degree, such as are typical of a precancerous
state and form the basis of numerous complaints of old age.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Galium aparine, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
galium aparine: nephrolithiasis; ulceration, especially of the tongue.
Galphimia
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried leaves and flowers of the plant,
Thryallis glauca [Poir.] O. Kuntze, which grows wild in Mexico. N.O. Malpighiaceae.
The main indications are:
Allergies. Asthma. Vasomotor rhinitis. Neurodermitis. Hay fever.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Thryallis glauca, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
galphimia: dermal and mucosal allergies.
314
Gastritis Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgigally removed inflamed
gastric mucosa.
The main indications are:
Chronic gastritis (also lack of acid). Pre-cancerous state of the stomach. Also in
lowered resistance, if a damaged stomach in a cellular phase cannot produce the necessary
acid valencies in the event of inflammations, i.e. particularly where there is a
tendency to septic development.
Gelsemium – Yellow Jasmine
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant, Gelsemium
sempervirens [L.] Jaume St.-Hil., which grows on river banks in the West of North
and Central America. N.O. Loganiaceae.
The tincture obtained from wild jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens) is also used
in general medicine as a nerve remedy. In addition the symptoms obtained from the
homoeopathic proving on healthy people give us a typical remedy picture, with reference
to numerous diseases, particularly diseases of the nervous system, or in
which it is involved, so that Gelsemium occupies a position of the first rank in homoeopathic
prescribing.
Nash picks out as the most prominent symptom the complete relaxation and exhaustion
of the entire muscular system, with partial or complete paralysis of the
motor nerves, as though the muscles would no longer obey the will. The first symptom
to occur in this is a feeling of relaxation and general fatigue, with the desire to
lie down. The pulse is quickened by the slightest movement. The legs tremble when
walking. The hands and tongue also tremble with weakness, so that Gelsemium has
also been called the “trembling remedy”. The weakness is further characterised by
ptosis of the eyelids, disturbances in speech and difficulty in swallowing, as may
occur in bulbar palsy. Violent congestions of the head frequently occur, associated
with headaches and neuralgias, possibly of the migraine variety, in which the pains
may be dull or sudden or shooting, possibly linked with convulsions. The face may
be dark red. In many cases the pains rise from the nape of the neck up over the head,
with the sensation of a band around the head.
Gelsemium patients are generally sluggish, sleepy and avoid movement. There is
also an inability to concentrate. The patients can neither think clearly nor focus their
attention on a particular point. The sleep is restless and full of dreams, as if in a stupor.
However, there may also be sleeplessness on account of the lively flow of
thoughts, with a compensating sleepiness by day and long, deep sleep in the morning.
(cf. Nux Vomica).
315
Nervous, feverish illnesses are brought about by sudden excitement, bad news,
fright and forebodings, and in such cases sudden diarrhoea may occur as a natural
regressive vicariation. Stage-fright is also an indication for Gelsemium. Vertigo is influenced
by Gelsemium if it is accompanied by dimness of sight, double vision and
a sensation of intoxication. Headaches are often relieved by copious urination. Nausea
may also be linked with the headache.
Gelsemium is often indicated as a fever remedy, a certain exhaustion being present,
with drowsiness and congestion of the brain as in typhoid fevers, but without the
intensity of Belladonna. A shivering sensation, with the shivers running up and down
the spine, is also an indication for Gelsemium, (otherwise principally for Natrum
Muriaticum).
Gelsemium is quite particularly indicated in states of paralysis, e.g. after apoplexy
or also in weakness of the bladder and urinary incontinence; also in post-diphtheritic
paralysis. The stools are copious and yellow, often associated with cramp in the
anal sphincter and with haemorrhoidal pains. Gelsemium is also indicated in dysmenorrhoea
and in violent migraines which set in one day before the menses begin,
accompanied by vomiting.
Dahlke recommends Gelsemium in any kind of paralysis, also in influenzal catarrhs
and when complaints are aggravated in warm, humid weather and in the heat
of summer. Gelsemium is also recommended in typhoid or bilious fevers preceded
by disturbances of vision, in migraines preceded by blindness, in convulsions of
children and during the puerperium and when there is a hysterical tendency to
swings of mood, in functional heart problems (fear, as if something were about to
happen), in diarrhoea (resulting from stage-fright, exam-failure etc.), in nervous
sleeplessness and in glaucoma.
Gelsemium is indicated in colds when there is thin, fluent nasal discharge and
bloody mucus is blown out.
The following is a summary of the symptoms occuring frequently in practice,
which Gelsemium has proved effective in helping: - Swimming in the head and vertigo with a drunken feeling.
- Typhoid fever with shivering, relaxation and exhaustion.
- Migraines and headaches, as if there were a band around the forehead, relieved by
copious urination. Inability to concentrate. Numbed state. - Nervous paralysis after diphtheria, apoplexy, etc. Speech impaired, with trembling,
heavy tongue. Swallowing difficult, may be tried in bulbar palsy. - Trembling and states of anxiety in the heart, as if it would stop beating.
- Incontinence of urine. Dysmenorrhoea. Diarrhoea after excitement. Stage-fright.
- Colds with bloodstained mucus blown from the nose.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Gelsemium sempervirens, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for gelsemium: headaches; nervous disorders; infectious diseases; paralysis;
spasmodic conditions.
316

the mouth, sticky saliva, an earthy taste, eructations, nausea, retching and vomiting.
Another indication is a feeling of pressure and heaviness in the stomach, with distension
in the stomach region and a constricted sensation, as if bound up, distension
with abdominal pains and discharge of foetid flatus, also colicky pains with urging
for stool and continual discharge of wind with eructations. The stools are usually
preceded by intestinal colic, loose, soft and light yellow.
There is also increased excretion of urine.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Gentiana lutea, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
gentiana lutea: digestive disorders.
Geranium Robertianum – Herb Robert
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower, Geranium
robertianum, a native of Europe and North America. N.O. Geraniaceae.
Geranium robertianum contains a bitter substance, Geraniin, also tannins and a
volatile oil.
It has an astringent action and is used in chronic enteritis, also with bloody stools
and diarrhoea. It is also used in gastroenteritis, and as an external astringent in
wounds, ulcers, fistulas, eczemas, and in gout, rheumatism, calculi and jaundice.
Beneficial results are also seen in glandular illness, enlargement of the tonsils,
swelling of the cervical glands and umbilical colic in children.

The main indications are:
Down’s syndrome. Myxoedema. Thyroid tumours. Neoplasm phases. Adiposity.
Liver and kidney diseases.
Glioma – Brain Tumour
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from liquor of patients with glioma.
This nosode is indicated not only in gliomas, but also particularly in chronic neuralgias
and possibly in stubborn headaches.
Glonoinum – Nitroglycerin
The attenuations are prepared from Glyceryl trinitrate, C3H5N3H9, MW: 227.1.
Even though Glonoin (Nitroglycerin) is used essentially for heart conditions,
particularly angina pectoris, nevertheless the symptom-picture presents other
symptoms too, which mark out Glonoin as an effective remedy with other indications.
The name Glonoin is based on the three components: Gl = glycerol,
O = oxygen, N = nitrogen.
The main characteristic symptoms are palpitations extending to the neck, which
can be seen in the pulsating carotid arteries, a tendency to sudden violent irregularities
in the circulation, active hyperaemia of the brain with symptoms such as are
found e.g. in sunstroke. There is also cerebral vomiting, white tongue, empty sensation
in the pit of the stomach with pale face and full pulse, laboured respiration, in
other words, such symptoms as may be present in sunstroke; these point to Glonoin.
There are also headaches which are ameliorated by having the head uncovered and
often by lying quietly, but are aggravated by bending the head backwards. In contrast
to Belladonna cases, the face is often not flushed, and the patient must walk
about, preferably in the open air, because that is what gives him relief. Generally
Belladonna symptoms are exactly the opposite.
The most important symptoms of Glonoin are the heart symptoms. A sensation of
fullness in the praecordium is reported, and strong pulsations throughout the body,
as if the chest would burst, linked with pains radiating out into the arms and throat.
325
Nash draws our attention to the similarity with Melilotus, so that differentiation is
often difficult.
One symptom of Glonoin deserves our attention: gets lost in familiar streets, possibly
accompanied by thoughtlessness. Apart from this there are also weakness and
trembling in the upper and lower limbs and a sensation of heaviness and restlessness
in the arms and legs, associated with numbness and a “gone to sleep” sensation.
There is also a spasmodic drawing and feeling of stiffness in the nape of the neck,
and a spasmodic feeling of tension and contraction in the muscles, possibly also
with stabbing in the shoulder-blades.
The blood vessels may be injected, even in the eye with reddened conjunctiva,
sparks and flashes in the field of vision, weak or dull vision and occasional inability
to see.
There may also be twitching and numbness in the lips with pulsating toothache,
and also particularly in increased production of saliva and mucus, with frequent expectoration
and a sensation as if the tongue were enlarged and raw, with a sharp taste
and a bitter, scratching sensation towards the palate.
The remedy picture also contains diarrhoea with retching, nausea, vomiting, flatulence
and cutting pains in the abdomen; also polyuria and congestion of the head
during the menstrual periods.
The specific indications which have generally emerged are the complaints following
sunstroke, the ciruclatory disturbances in the heart and the pulsating and beating
in the blood vessels. Thus Glonoin is likely to be effective in strokes, delirium,
epileptiform spasms, meningitis, migraines and also dysmenorrhoea, so long as the
symptomatology indicates it to a reasonable extent. It may also be mentioned that
the symptoms are aggravated by drinking spirits, and that head symptoms may also
occur after having the hair cut.
When these symptoms are summarised, we have the following characteristic remedy-
picture: - Complaints are aggravated by heat of the sun, hot weather, movement, drinking
spirits, and having the hair cut. They are ameliorated at rest and in the fresh air. - Pulsations throughout the body, proceeding from the heart. Pulsation of the
carotid arteries. Blood vessels distended. Hot flushes passing over the head from
the nape of the neck. Painful feeling in the praecordium. Angina pectoris and
lancinating pains, extending from the heart to the back and shoulders with a spasmodic
feeling of pressure in the heart (cf. Cactus). Violent reactions of the heart,
extending as far as the finger-tips, and accelerated heart activity. Pulse full and
rapid or fast and small. Angina pectoris. - Cannot find his way in familiar streets and towns.
- Violent frontal and temporal headaches, ascending from the nape of the neck and
taking in the whole back part of the head, aggravated by any movement and jarring,
better at times in fresh air and by lying quietly. - Diarrhoea with gastric symptoms, vomiting and retching; also polyuria and dysmenorrhoea
with congestion of the head. Supporting remedy in meningitis.
326
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Nitroglycerinum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
glonoinum: headaches; hypertension; angina pectoris.
Glutaminicum Acidum – Glutaminic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from L-(+)-Glutaminic acid, C5H9NO4, MW: 174.1.
This is a factor in numerous intermediate syntheses. It is a component of glutathione,
and is said to have a good influence on brain function and to enhance mental
performance, e.g. in disturbed mental development in children.
Glyoxal – Oxaloaldehyde
The attenuations are prepared from a aqueous solution of Glyoxal, C2H2O2, MW:
58.0.
Has a catalytic and unblocking action both on damaged respiratory enzymes and
toxins, and is therefore indicated in all cellular phases, and especially also in neoplasm
phases and viral diseases. Infrequent doses! Allow them time to work!
Glyoxal and Methylglyoxal (q.v.) have, according to Prof. W. Frederik Koch, a
deep-reaching action on a wide variety of degenerative diseases, not only on neoplasms,
but also on schizophrenia (Dr. Wegener of Cologne), and on addictive diseases
(Dr. Schroeter of Freiburg.)
As “Carbonyl-group series”, Methylglyoxal and Glyoxal have the property of
freeing blocked energy-producing systems of the cells and also of dissolving cancerous
tissue which is in process of formation through the action of free radicals, by
depolymerisation of homotoxins and carcinotoxins. This is possible both by
quinones and by free carbonyl groups, provided that they are suitably diluted in homoeopathic
potency. Otherwise they work in the opposite direction, (i.e. carcinogenically).
By means of free carbonyl groups and quinones, through the removal of hydrogen,
the impregnation phase is to a certain extent “broken up”. (See Reckeweg’s study:
“Neue Gesichtspunkte der antihomotoxischen Therapie bei zellulären Phasen” [New
view on anti-homotoxic therapy in cellular phases]. Homotoxin-Journal 6, 285–395
[1967]).
In treating patients with Glyoxal and Methylglyoxal it is important not to give a
fresh dose so long as the condition is reacting, or so long as the curative action lasts.
327
The drug picture of Glyoxal was composed in August 1997 by David Riley, M.D.,
Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Gnaphalium Polycephalum – Common Everlasting
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower, Pseudognaphalium
polycephalum [L.] Hilliard et B.L. Burtt., a native of North America.
N.O. Compositae.
Gnaphalium displays a few typical symptoms, which would justify a widespread
use of the remedy, whereas in general it is simply used in sciatica, when the pains
extend from the hip down to the toes, linked with a sensation of numbness and having
“gone to sleep”, the numbness alternating with pain, cramps in the calves and
lumbago-like complaints, possibly associated with a sensation of heaviness low
down in the pelvis.
Rheumatism may also be present in the knees and ankles. Episodes of gout in the
big toe may also react favourably to Gnaphalium.
Additionally Gnaphalium is indicated in children’s summer diarrhoea, and also in
dysmenorrhoea, in symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy, when the bladder cannot be
emptied properly, with urging to urinate and restlessness in the legs. This may be accompanied
by heightened libido and frequent erections, but often with impotence.
These latter complaints are generally concealed. They present as rheumatic complaints,
i.e. as restlessness in the legs with crawling sensations in the thighs, numbness,
and possibly stabbing pains at times, so that generally it is the use of Gnaphalium
in sciatica which has prevailed.
Rheumatic conditions of the facial nerves can likewise be beneficially affected by
Gnaphalium; also vertigo and dull occipital pain, shooting pains in the chest, cramps
of the calf-muscles, and rheumatic pains in the arms and elbows.
Dahlke refers to morning diarrhoea as an indication for Gnaphalium.
The following is a summary of the remedy-picture: - Sciatic nerve-pains, associated with a sensation of numbness, extending to the
toes. Cramps in the calves and feet, especially in bed. Rheumatic complaints in
arms and elbows. - Morning diarrhoea with great exhaustion. Mouth is furry. Nausea. Abdominal
rumblings and flatulence. - Prostate complaints with restlessness of the legs. Pressure in the kidney region.
- Increase in erections and libido. Dysmenorrhoea. Heavy sensation in the pelvis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for gnaphalium polycephalum: rheumatism; sciatica; neuralgia;
diarrhoea.
329
Gonococcinum – Nosode of Gonorrhoea
see Medorrhinum.
Granuloma Dentis – Granuloma of the Tooth
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgically removed granuloma
(reactive formation of granulative tissue at the tip of the root of a tooth).
The main indications are:
Epulis. Focal diseases. Apical infections. Headaches (especially in the eye and
orbit). Migraines. Supporting remedy in infective endocarditis. Myocarditis. Arrhythmias.
Chronic neuralgias. Acute polyarthritis.
Of general use in impregnation phases, (with Influenzinum, Psorinum, etc.), including
oral doses.
Graphites – Black Lead
The attenuations are prepared from Graphite (pencil-lead), a naturally modified
form of carbon.
In its action, Graphites has a certain relationship to Carbo Vegetabilis, but also to
other anti-psorics, particularly Sulphur. According to Dahlke, there is throughout
the whole remedy a characteristic tendency towards the formation of cracks, and to
skin diseases of various kinds, proceeding with crusty eruptions and the discharge of
a sticky, honey-like fluid, which hardens into scabs.
Skin diseases which call for Graphites are mainly localised in the folds and creases
of the skin. Itching is aggravated by heat and the warmth of the bed. They are accompanied
by a pasty appearance, constipation and a despondent mood, with restlessness,
anxiety and mental weakness. Thus the Graphites type has become summed up in the
catchphrase: “Fat – stupid – constipated.” However, this is not completely apt, insofar
as other symptoms, which do not fit into this pattern, are very susceptible to
Graphites. These include general loss of hair, which is hard and brittle, and alopecia
areata. Various kinds of tinnitus are also indications for Graphites, possibly associated
with chronic ear discharge smelling like herring-brine. Graphites eruptions are situated
mostly in skin-folds and creases, or on that side of the limb, and at orifices, also behind
the ears, at the nostrils, which are cracked, raw and encrusted, possibly associated
with an offensive discharge (ozaena), the nose itself being dry.
Graphites is also effective in colicky, burning stomach-pains, ameliorated by eating
and associated with distension; there may also be a pre-cancerous state in the pyloric
area.
330
There are also itching eruptions around the anus, and possibly haemorrhoids
which protrude, and are too painful to permit sitting down.
In women there is an aversion to coitus, a cold sensation in the vagina, and acrid,
white leucorrhoea, gushing out. The finger and toe nails are thickened and split. Offensive
foot-sweats are also susceptible to Graphites. The patient is generally easily
chilled and sensitive to the cold. Graphites patients also tend towards swelling and
induration of the glands.
Nash quotes a case of eczema on the legs, in which Sulphur was first given,
whereupon an eruption broke out all over the body, with the discharge of a sticky,
viscous fluid. By following with Graphites this eruption was then cured. Graphites is
also the remedy in eczema capitis or when, after eczema has been suppressed,
brown, liquid stools with undigested material and an intolerably foetid odour start to
be passed. Eczema of the eyelids, eyelids with their edges covered in scales and
scurf: these are cured by Graphites, whereas Sulphur is the cure where the orifices of
the body are more reddened. Nash emphasizes that the lumpy, copious stools which
are characteristic of Graphites may sometimes be joined by threads of mucus, and
that Graphites is good not only for anal fissures, but for fissures in general, on finger-
tips, nipples, corners of the mouth, between the toes etc. Atheroma is also susceptible
to Graphites.
As clinical indications for Graphites, Dahlke also mentions scrofulous eye-conditions,
styes, scanty menstruation with vicarious bleeding and bearing-down of the
uterus, chronic gout with deformed fingers, anaemia, hydrocoele, atheroma, and recurrent
erysipelas, with the affected parts remaining hard and swollen.
Graphites also softens and reasorbs scar-tissue, and is therefore indicated in ulcers
of the lower leg with hard edges and thin, acrid and offensive discharges, and in psoriasis;
but also in hoarseness and laryngeal complaints of professional speakers.
Summing up the main symptoms of Graphites, we have the following picture: - Mental dullness, difficult thinking. Despondent mood. Anxiety.
- Skin dieseases with tendency to eczema in folds of the skin and orifices of the
body, and on the articulating surfaces of the limbs, possibly associated with
crusty, dry eruptions and offensive, acrid secretions of a sticky, honey-like consistency.
Itching aggravated in the heat and by the warmth of the bed. Fissures in
all orifices. Intertrigo. Styes and Meibomian cysts. - Offensive sweat. Chronic nasal catarrh with foetid, purulent and crusty discharge
(ozaena). - Tinnitus. Otosclerosis. Deterioration of the hearing. Discharge from the ears,
smelling like herring-brine. - Falling out of hair. Alopecia areata. Fungal infections of the nails.
- Seborrhoeic blepharitis.
- Leucorrhoea. Aversion to coitus. Scanty menstruation.
- Colicky stomach-pains with distension. Pre-cancerous state. Constipation.
- Chronically recurring erysipelas. Chronic rheumatic polyarthritis with deformity
of joints. - Ulcer of the lower leg with hard edges. Keloid formation. Psoriasis.
331
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Graphites, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
graphites: paramenia; digestive insufficiency; geriatrically related disorders;
eczema and other dermal diseases; mucosal inflammation.
Grindelia Robusta – Gum-Plant
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried aerial parts, gathered when it is in
flower, of the plant, Grindelia robusta Nutt., a native of North America, Brazil and
Russia. N.O. Compositae.
The main symptoms are:
Bronchitis. Emphysema. Asthma with viscid expectoration.
A cutting pain in the spleen area can be an indication for Grindelia. There are also
eruptions like roseola on the face and neck, sometimes all over the body, associated
with itching and burning; there may also be vesicular and pustular eruptions.
There is a typical holding of the breath on going to sleep. The patient can only
eliminate the tough mucus with difficulty, and must sit up in order to breathe, with
symptoms of cardiac weakness.
Grindelia can be very useful in cases of moist asthma with copious expectoration
which is difficult to shift, and concomitant digestive disorders; also in chronic bronchitis,
emphysema and cardiac asthma.
It is said to be specific in Cheyne-Stokes respiration, also in whooping cough, iritis
and itching skin diseases. External appliation of the tincture, diluted 1:10, is said
to be useful in pruritus and erythema.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Grindelia robusta, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
grindelia robusta: asthmatic diseases with viscous mucus.
Guaiacum – Gum Guaiac
The mother tincture is prepared from the resin which is melted out of the heartwood
of Guaiacum officinale L. or Guaiacum sanctum L. N.O. Zygophyllaceae.
Rheumatoid pains of a stabbing, tearing kind in various parts of the body constitute
a major symptom of Guaiacum. Pronounced gouty affections of the joints also
react to Guaiacum, especially if there is aggravation in the morning and evening
with great sleepiness in the daytime, much yawning and a need to stretch the limbs.
All the affected parts are sensitive to touch.
332
All the complaints are aggravated by warmth; however, pains which are localised
in the bones, muscles or tendons are generally relieved by warmth.
Guaiacum can also act favourably on exostoses of the tibia, when there is sensitivity
on the slightest movement, and also in left-sided frozen shoulder.
Guaiacum is also indicated in neuralgias and facial pains with swimming in the
head and vertigo, tearing pains in various parts of the skull and pulsating, stabbing
pains in the temples. This is accompanied by weakness of memory and a peevish,
irascible mood with taciturnity.
Fluent coryza may last for weeks. Guaiacum is indicated as a supporting remedy
in laryngeal catarrhs, and bronchial catarrhs with difficult respiration and offensive
expectoration, chronic bronchiectasis and also pulmonary tuberculosis.
Gastric complaints are characterised by empty eructations and nausea, and a sensation
of pressure and heat in the stomach. These are accompanied by loss of appetite
and disgust for food, with episodes of unaccustomed hunger and strong thirst.
In the genito-urinary system there are inflammatory conditions with tenesmus of
the bladder, urine passed drop by drop, and cutting pains in the urethra, also leucorrhoea
and nocturnal seminal emissions.
Essentially Guaiacum is used in rheumatic and gouty complaints in the head and
limbs, in catarrhal conditions, in bronchitis, tonsillitis and muscular spasms of the
intestines and bladder.
If the main symptoms of Guaiacum are summarised, the result is the following
typical remedy-picture: - Gout with sensation of heat. Movement and heat are intolerable. Muscles as if too
short. - Exostoses (tibia). Sensitivity to slightest movement. Left sided frozen shoulder.
- Facial pain and neuralgia. Swimming in the head. Weakness of memory. Peevish,
irascible mood. - Gastric complaints. Burning and irritation of the mucosa (oral). Strong thirst.
Pressure and heat in the stomach. Spastic intestinal movements and twitching of
abdominal muscles. Rumbling in the intestines. Soft faeces or constipation with
frequent flatus. Craving for apples, which ameliorate the gastric complaints. - Tenesmus of the bladder with urine passed drop by drop and cutting pains in the
urethra. Nocturnal seminal emissions. Leucorrhoea. - Bronchiectasis. Bronchitis. Pleurisy. Supporting remedy in pulmonary tuberculosis.
Cough with offensive expectoration.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Guaiacum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
guaiacum: inflammation of palatine tonsils and pharynx; bronchial and pulmonary
inflammationi rheumatism; gout.
333
Hamamelis – Witch Hazel
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh bark of the branches and roots of
the plant, Hamamelis virginiana L., which grows in the U.S.A. – often wild – and in
Germany is planted in many parks. N.O. Hamamelidaceae.
Hamamelis is particularly a remedy for the veins, and is used in venous stasis,
varicose veins and passive haemorrhages of dark blood. One of the main symptoms
is a painfulness, as if bruised, similar to Arnica; this painfulness is present not only
in venous stasis, but may also be found in rheumatism.
Hamamelis patients feel better in warm, humid air.
The veins and varices of the lower leg are almost always sensitive to touch.
Hamamelis is also indicated in thrombophlebitis and varicose ulcers. Haemorrhoids
may bleed copiously with a sensation as if the back were about to break. Hamamelis
is also the remedy for haematemesis with vomiting of dark blood. Likewise it will
have a favourable action on dysmenorrhoea with profuse bleeding and a full, bruised
feeling in the abdomen. If there is haematuria, there will usually be a dull pain in the
renal area. In haemoptysis a full, bruised sensation in the floating ribs will indicate
Hamamelis.
One should always think of Hamamelis if soreness and a bruised sensation are
characteristically present in the affected parts, and particularly where there is a sensation
as if the sacrum would break. There may also be a sensation of tiredness and
stiffness in the lower limbs, with dull drawing pains in the legs. Hamamelis may also
be indicated in inflammatory conditions of the oral cvity, such as tonsillitis with a
dark red appearance.
The main indications are haemorrhages and varicose veins.
The symptoms of hamamelis may be set out in the following summarised form: - Venous stasis. Varices. Ulcers of the lower leg.
- Venous haemorrhages. Dark, passive flow.
- Epistaxis. Haematemesis. Bleeding haemorrhoids. Haematuria with kidney pains.
Haemoptysis. - Characteristic severe soreness of affected parts. Bruised sensation, as if broken.
- Dysmenorrhoea with severe venous haemorrhage and pain on the surface of the
abdomen. - Tonsillitis with dark red appearance and great thirst.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hamamelis virginiana, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for hamamelis: varicose veins; haemorrhoids; bleeding of the skin and
mucosae.
334
Hedera Helix – Ivy
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh wood-free twigs of the plant, Hedera
helix L., gathered before or just at the beginning of flowering period, which
climbs on trees and houses in Europe. N.O. Araliaceae.
The main indications are:
Acute and chronic catarrh of nose and sinuses. Icy cold, moist hands (“frog’s
hands”) and feet. It has been used in the form of linctus. It has not been shown
which of the constituent substances (iodine, saponin, helicin [a glycoside], carubin,
resin, formic acid and oxalic acid) is responsible for the action.
According to the author’s experience, Hedera Helix is suitable in the treatment of
various dyscrasias, whether rickets (which is hardly seen nowadays) or chronic sinusitis
or a deposition phase at a site of least resistance, e.g. as a hydrocephalus or a
cataract.
Hedera Helix, possibly combined with other constitutional remedies, is able to
take such fixed deposition phases back by a process of regressive vicariation to the
acute stage. It should be possible to work out characteristic symptoms by viewing
Hedera Helix from this angle.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hedera helix, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
hedera helix: acute inflammations of the respiratory passages and of the digestive
organs; hyperthyroidism; rheumatic diseases.
Hekla Lava – Hecla Lava
The attenuations are prepared from the lava taken from Mount Hekla, a volcano
on Iceland.
The main indications are:
Exostoses on the feet, also on the jaw and other sites.
Hekla Lava was taken into homoeopathic use because large-scale occurence of exostoses
was found on the jaws and other bones of sheep grazing at the foot of Mount
Hekla on Iceland, and were therefore in continual very close contact with the solidified
lava of the volcano. The author has been able to verify the beneficial action of
Hekla Lava on exostoses in numerous cases in his practice again and again, sometimes
in combination with Mercurius Iodatus Ruber which has a selective action on
the periosteum. Thus in suitable cases one may take advantage of this combined effect.
A most severe case of trigeminal neuralgia (mandibular division) reacted surprisingly
rapidly and lastingly to Hekla Lava 6X after all the teeth had been extracted. The
unbearable bone-pains in the lower jaw vanished within a few days, never to return.
335
Heinigke points out that the action of Hekla Lava has been verified in a wide variety
of bone diseases, including osteosarcoma, tubercular and syphilitic osteitis and
exostosis. Thus Hekla Lava should be used in toothache, abscesses of the gum,
swellings on the jaw and in difficult dentition.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hekla Lava, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
hekla lava: inflammation of bones and periosteum; exostosis.
Helleborus – Christmas Rose
The mother tincture is prepared from the carefull dried rootstock of the plant,
Helleborus niger L., gathered in autumn or in springtime after the flowering period.
The native of the Alps, the Balkans and Russia, is often planted in gardens because
of its flowers, which appear at Christmas. N.O. Ranunculaceae.
The main indications are:
Melancholia. Psychoses. Fixed ideas. Apathy. Hunger-strike. Mutism. Stubborn silence.
Consolation aggravates. Acute hydrocephalus. Lies on the back, unconscious,
with the legs drawn up. The eyeballs are turned upwards, insensible, continual chewing
motion. Quietly delirious. Encephalitis (post-vaccinial, after living-cell implantation).
Acute and chronic nephritis. Oedema. Ascites.
According to experiments by V. Schroffs, Helleborein primarily affects the ganglia
of the coeliac plexus and the heart, to the point of complete paralysis.
There is great heaviness and sensitivity of the muscles of all the limbs, with varied
pains in different parts of the body. This is accompanied by the inability to rouse
oneself to any kind of activity, with a dulling of sensation and an unaccustomed
stiffness in the extremities.
Trembling, twitching of the muscles and convulsive movements, especially in
sleep, are also characteristic, likewise spasms and sudden collapse or falling down
without loss of consciousness and with cold perspiration on the forehead.
States of collapse with coldness of the limbs, slowed pulse, narrowed pupils and
fainting attacks are mostly aggravated in the evening and ameliorated in the fresh air.
Patients who need Helleborus usually exhibit a yellowish complexion, a pale
sunken face, oedematous skin and swelling of connective tissue with painfulness of
individual lymph-nodes. There is erupton of vesicles on the forehead and lips, pulsation
of the arteries and congestion of blood in the brain.
In prominent conditions there is disgust for food with tendency to vomit, continual
retching, abdominal distension with desire to urinate but scanty quantities passed,
flatulence and difficult evacuation of hard faecal masses with pains in the rectum.
By way of compensation there may, however, be violent diarrhoea with the faeces
336
stained by bile, nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting being present, accompanied by
involuntary defaecation with jelly-like mucus.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for helleborus niger, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
helleborus: meningitis and encephalitis; acute diarrhoea; nephritis; states of confusion;
emotional distress.
Helonias Dioica – Blazing Star
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant Chamaelirium
luteum [L.] A. Gray, which occurs in North America. N.O. Liliaceae.
The main indications are:
Melancholia and depression. Albuminuria and diabetes. Prolapse of the uterus.
Dark, offensive leucorrhoea. Vaginitis. Muscular rheumatism with burning pains,
relieved by motion. Lassitude.
Throughout the whole remedy there runs an unaccustomed lack of energy, weakness
and exhaustion, with irritable mood, irascibility, despondency and a predilection
for solitude. There is weakness of intellect, vertigo and pressing, pulsating
headaches, a sensation of heaviness and tiredness predominating, especially in the
sacral area and loins, with a spasmodic pain to the left of the spine as far as the iliac
crest, nocturnal back pains, a lame pain in the whole back and violent pains in the
right hip joint.
Thus Helonias Dioica is especially suited to states of exhaustion and weakness of
the nervous system, in neurasthenia, and also in albuminuria from various causes
and diabetes mellitus, and also in kidney and bladder conditions with urinary complaints,
cystitis and weakness of the bladder (cf. Causticum). Also in amenorrhoea
where lack of energy predominates.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Chamaelirium luteum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for helonias dioica: nephritis; prolapse of the uterus; exhaustion, emotional
discord or upset.
337
Hepar Suis – Pig Liver
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh liver of a pig (Sus
scrofa domesticus).
Liver damage and deficient detoxifying action of liver. Chronic eczemas. Neurodermitis.
Psoriasis. Erythemas. Porphyria. Also in dermatomycoses, pemphigus and
kraurosis vulvae. Male sterility. After-effects of X-ray. Hypoglycaemia. Anorexia
nervosa. Frequently indicated as an intermediate remedy in cellular phases.
It is also indicated in deformative arthritis and frozen shoulder, in order to stimulate
the detoxifying function of the liver.

Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum – Hahnemann’s Calcium Sulphide/
Liver of Sulphur
The attenuations are prepared according to Hahnemann’s directions. The main
components are Calcium sulphide and other Calcium salts of various valencies of
Sulphur such as Polysulphides or Sulphates.
With regard to its action, Hepar Sulph. stands between the two important antipsorics,
Calcium Carbonicum and Sulphur. Its characteristic symptom is hypersensitivity:
to touch, to pain and to cold air, the patients being so sensitive that they may
fall down in a faint at the slightest pain. Neither can they tolerate for example a cold
draught on the affected parts. The exception to this is the headache, otherwise there
is relief from warmth and warm wrappings. This is accompanied by a general irritability,
hypersensitivity and hastiness. All conditions are aggravated in the evenings,
including the symptoms of despondency, lack of courage and tearfulness. On the
scalp there are pimples and bald patches with failing of the hair.
A further important pointer to Hepar Sulph. is the tendency to suppuration, or else
to inflammation which rapidly changes to suppuration. In such conditions a dose of
Hepar Sulph. in low potency (4X) may possibly accelerate the suppuration, whereas
high potencies generally bring it back again. However there are exceptions to this.
On the skin too there is a tendency to fester, (skin slow to heal), the wounds being
mostly flat with a pulsating sensation. The edges are sensitive to touch and often surrounded
by pimples. The discharges are generally thick and purulent, with a characteristic
odour of old cheese. The author saw such a case in a young female medical
student with serious pustular acne – the whole body giving off the typical cheese
odour, which refused to go away in spite of thorough daily bathing. With Hepar
Sulph. 6X the condition quickly disappeared, never to return.
Boils and carbuncles call for Hepar Sulph. as well as for Mercurius. Hepar Sulph.
is also indicated in empyema, unless one first uses Calcium Carbonicum, in order to
avoid perforations, e.g. in empyema of the gall-bladder. In all conditions which pro-
340
ceed with suppuration, e.g. Meibomian cysts, styes, acne vulgaris, suppurating
eczema, sycosis barbae and others, apart from Mercurius Solubilis one thinks first of
Hepar Sulph.
Hepar Sulph. is likewise the remedy for chronic catarrhs of the respiratory organs
with expectoration of purulent sputum and aggravation in the fresh air, likewise the
croupy cough, formerly very common, where in spite of the rattling of the mucus the
patient cannot expectorate it. Here Hepar Sulph. is more frequently indicated after
Aconitum or Spongia. Hepar Sulph. will also cure a cough which appears when
some part of the body is uncovered.
Because of its action in suppurations, Hepar Sulph. is the main remedy for abscesses
of the lung, and also in abscesses of the tonsils; in such cases there may be a
sensation as if a splinter or a fish-bone were lodged in the pharynx. Purulent, offensive
discharge from the ears calls for Hepar Sulph. (possibly along with Graphites
and other remedies).
Hepar Sulph. also has a wretched, empty feeling in the stomach, with a craving for
sour things, alcohol and spices. The general state of the patient is ameliorated by eating,
but it aggravates the heaviness and pressure in the stomach. Even the blandest of
food can cause complaints in Hepar Sulph. patients. There is usually constipation,
with even soft faeces being difficult to pass.
Hepar Sulph. is also indicated in hypertrophy of the prostate. The stream of urine
drops almost perpendicularly, is sluggish, and it takes time for the bladder to empty.
Hepar Sulph. is also an important remedy for sweating, when the patient sweats
day and night without relief. Here Hepar Sulph. is often indicated in alternation with
Mercurius Solubilis, e.g. in abscess of the tonsils, rheumatism etc.
In children Hepar Sulph. is indicated when there is sour diarrhoea, and the whole
child may smell sour (cf. Calcium Carbonicum and Magnesium Carbonicum).
In contrast to Natrum Sulphuricum, asthma which is better in damp weather calls
for Hepar Sulph. as its remedy. Hepar Sulph. may also act beneficially where there
is a chronic tendency to catch cold (cf. Thuja), and in kidney diseases which occur in
progressive vicariation after retoxic treatment of scarlet fever or sore throats.
The outstanding symptoms and indications of Hepar Sulph. may be categorised as
follows: - Hypersensitivity to touch, pain and cold air. Amelioration from warmth and wrapping
up warmly. - Irritable, hypersensitive, hasty, and also despondent, lacking in spirit and tearful.
Aggravated in the evening. - Skin with scabs, slow to heal; flat ulcerations and tendency to form pustules.
Falling out of hair. Odour of old cheese. - Tendency towards suppurations and abscesses. Boils, carbuncles, acne vulgaris.
Purulent discharge from the ears. Tonsillar abscess. Pyoderma. Empyema. - Stomach complaints with a wretched, empty feeling, and constipation. Difficult
defaecation, even of soft stools. Sour diarrhoea in children. - Hypertrophy of the prostate with problems of urination.
341 - Dry, hard cough or loose, croupy cough. Feeling of weakness in the chest.
Hoarseness. Cough worse from cool draught, from uncovering a limb or drinking
cold water. Asthma, better in warm, humid weather. - Typical sensation of a plug or splinter in wounds or eruptions on mucosa.
- Retoxically treated illnesses, e.g. scarlet fever after sore throat. Protracted pneumonia
with danger of abscess formation.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hepar sulphuris calcarea, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for hepar sulphuris: inflammation and suppuration of the skin and mucosae
such as furuncles, chronic purulent otitis media, and abscess of the palatine
tonsils; for treatment of a disposition to lymphatic disorders; nervous hypersensitivity.
Hepatica Triloba – Liver-Wort
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh leaves of the plant, Hepatica nobilis
Gars., which occurs in woodlands of South-East and Eastern Europe. N.O. Ranunculaceae.
The main indications are:
Pharyngitis, bronchitis. Clearing the throat. Tough sticky mucus.
Whilst Hepatica was recommended by doctors in the old days for liver diseases, in
line with the Doctrine of Signatures, its leaves being liver-shaped, in the provings
the principal action was found to be on the pharynx and bronchi, with roughness,
scratching and tickling in the throat, and a sensation in the throat as if food had stuck
there. It was possible to establish the presence there of an accumulation of thick,
tough, sticky mucus, which caused frequent clearing of the throat.
There was also violent bronchitis with yellowish, creamy, very sweet, bloody and
copious expectoration, with a painful sensation in the chest as if tied up tightly, accompanied
by a continual tickling, itching and scratching in the pharynx, very annoying
and aggravated by food and dust. Where the expectoration is sweet, in addition
to Stannum one should always think of Hepatica.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hepatica nobilis, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
hepatica triloba: pharyngeal catarrh.
342
Herpes Simplex Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from inactivated Herpes Simplex
viruses (adjusted to 10 6 plaque-forming units per ml).
One result of research into viral diseases has been that the herpes virus has acquired
great importance, even in the origins of neoplasms. Malignant disease of the
womb in particular is said to show a close relationship with earlier herpetic infections
generally, so that it would seem expedient to use the Herpes Simplex and Herpes
Zoster Nosodes in cancer of the womb also.
The Nosode is also said to be of use particularly in influenzal illnesses, since herpetic
conditions (on the cheeks, around the mouth) frequently appear in these; likewise
before, during and after menstruation. It should also be tried in shingles with
typical neural localisation in segmental areas. The Herpes Simplex Nosode can also
be used in cases of post-herpetic neuralgia following remission of herpes zoster and
in those very difficult to treat – alongside the otherwise indicated homoeopathic
remedies (such as Mezereum, Rhus Tox., Ranunculus, Vaccininum, Variolinum,
etc.).
Herpes Zoster Nosode – Shingles Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from killed Herpes Zoster viruses
(adjusted to 106 plaque-forming units per milliliter).
Indications for the use of this viral nosode are provided not only by herpes zoster
itself, and the unpleasant and painful herpetic eruptions, labial, genital or elsewhere,
which often occur during menstruation, but also in pre-cancerous states of the
uterus, or in outright cancer of the womb or parts of it, since relationships have
come to light between the Herpes Zoster Nosode and the genesis of uterine cancer.
See also under “Herpes Simplex Nosode”.
Histamine
The attenuations are prepared from Histamine, 2-(4-imidazolyl)ethylamine,
C5H9N3, MW: 111.15 (potentised allopathic compund).
In reaction phases, Histamine is of decisive importance for the initial phase of the
inflammation, and widens the capillaries to allow an infusion of plasma into the tissues,
resulting in the consecutive symptoms of pain, swelling, heat and redness. Histamine
becomes biologically especially dangerous if such inflammations are sup-
343
pressed by drugs, when the histamine can no longer undergo the degradation which
is provided for in the course of the inflammation. It can then assume an allergic action
on other tissues (in the literal sense of allergy: allos ergos = other action) and
other symptoms develop in completely different locations which do not have anything
to do with the previously occurring inflammation. In actual fact they are only
the transfer of the toxic state (Histamine) to another phase.
If the inflammation is allowed to run its natural course undisturbed, (or if its
course is speeded up by means of biotherapeutic or homoeopathic remedies), then
there should be no associated allergy, since the histamine is rendered non-toxic in
the normal course of events, or as a result of biological – or particularly homoeopathic
– treatment, and leaves the body through the normal excretory processes.
Thorough accounts of this will be found in the literature on homotoxicology; here
we can give only the barest outline.
The main indications are:
Impregnation phases and retoxications of all kinds. Allergic illnesses. Bronchial
asthma. Vasomotor rhinitis. Eczemas and other skin diseases. Neurodermitis. Pemphigus.
Pyoderma. Boils and carbuncles. Angina pectoris. Gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Burns. After contusions, fractures, tissue destruction and emotional traumas.
Frequently indicated as an intermediate remedy in all cellular phases, possibly in
combination with the intermediary acids of the Citric Acid cycle and other intermediary
catalysts (q.v.).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for histaminum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
histamine: allergic dermal and mucosal disorders; hypotension; cardiac complaints.
Hydrastis Canadensis – Golden Seal
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried rootstock, with roots attached, of
the plant, Hydrastis canadensis L., which occurs in shady mountain forests of atlantic
North America. N.O. Ranunculaceae.
Hydrastis, Canadian Golden Seal, is prepared from the dried rootstock and contains
three alkaloids: hydrastine, berberine and meconin, apart from physosterin,
volatile oil and resins. It is used principally in serious disorders of the autonomic
nervous system, and also in cancer and septic states, in protracted catarrhs, influenza
with great secretion of mucus, coughs, epistaxis, great weakness, and also in gastrointestinal
ulceration, liver conditions with jaundice and in cystitis. In roseola and
eczematous skin eruptions, especially where there is a general physical weakness
and exhaustion, and also in rheumatic muscular and nervous pains, whether fixed or
changing location, and also particularly in illnesses of the uterus with vaginal discharge,
in breast lumps, and in neuralgias of the spermatic cord and testicles.
344
Nash refers to special indications for Hydrastis, e.g. thick, tough, bloody discharges
from the nose, a swollen, relaxed tongue showing imprints of the teeth and a sensation
as if burnt or scalded, with tough, yellow mucus in the pharynx. Also a sunken feeling
in the stomach with persistent palpitations and lumpy stools covered in mucus.
There is also a characteristic dull pain in the renal area and thick, tough, mucous
sediment in the urine, often associated with palpitations and weakness, especially a
high degree of muscular weakness; also a sensation of heat all over the body, alternating
with shivering.
In the clinical picture we find cachexia with suspected neoplasm, especially where
there is complete failure of the stomach; also there is uterine prolapse and cervical
erosion with thick, tough, yellow discharge and general weakness. Hydrastis can
also be used to good effect in stomatitis after abuse of mercury, in hearing which is
impaired by catarrh, in ear-discharge and tinnitus, and in chronic constipation. However
it is especially effective in leucorrhoea and in any other acrid, raw, excoriating
discharges when a general deterioration of energy is present, as e.g. in cancer and
cancerous degeneration, tumours in various organs and parts of the body, including
the female breast, and also in pruritus vulvae. According to information from Fellenberg-
Ziegler it can also be used in general energy-deterioration during smallpox
(one drop of the tincture internally every 2 hours and a teaspoonful of tincture to a
glass of lukewarm water on compresses, which is said to prevent scarring).
By summarising we arrive at the following remedy-picture for Hydrastis: - Moist skin eruptions and ulcers with offensive discharges, itching and burning.
Catarrhal conditions of the mucosa with heavy discharge. Chronic conjunctivitis.
Stomatitis. - Catarrhal conditions of the gastric mucosa and the bronchi with a scratching,
rough cough. Coryza with continual mucous discharges, burning and feeling of
rawness. - Congestive coryza. Nasal ulcers. Cholesteatoma. Otorrhoea.
- Atonic constipation. Chronic cystitis and urethritis. Vaginal discharge.
- Suspected cancer. Tumours in the breasts and in other organs. Emaciation when
eating well. General lack of energy.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hydrastis canadensis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for hydrastis: mucosal suppuration, also accompanied by ulceration, inflammations
and colic of the hepatobiliary system, and of the gastrointestinal tract;
polyps.
345
Hydrochinon – Hydroquinone
The attenuations are prepared from Hydroquinone (1,4-dihydroxy-benzene)
C6H6O2, MW: 110.14.
The main indications are:
Disturbances in oxygen utilisation. Impregnation phases. Pre-cancerous states.
Bronchial asthma. Skin diseases.
Like all the quinones, hydroquinone is indicated in impregnation phases where
dyspnoea, which is characteristic of disturbance in the respiratory chain, is observable.
Thus hydroquinone is indicated alongside alpha-ketoglutaric acid and Benzoquinone,
to compensate for side-effects of allopathic drugs on the respiratory centre,
and also for the progressive dyspnoea and cardiac weakness of lung cancer. The
dose selected must not be too strong here, nor repeated too frequently, since it may
lead to bloody expectoration with a strong, cheesy odour, (beware: internal haemorrhage!),
although the bleeding normally tends not to be dangerous, because Hydroquinone
obviously has a similar action on the vascular system to that of rutin.
In the course of relapses of cancer in the breast or abdomen, if haemorrhages of
short duration are observed which improve the general state of health, then Hydroquinone
must be given at short intervals, say every two days, in order to cleanse the
toxicity of the body. (Koch – Kastner – Seutemann).
Depressive states in youth and loss of powers of concentration can be helped by a
combination of Aurum and Hydroquinone; likewise angina pectoris, heart conditions
of the elderly and vascular sclerosis, most preferably in combination with
Malicum Acidum.
Like all quinones, Hydroquinone is also indicated in toxicity of the liver, e.g. in
jaundice from various causes, in chronic cholecystitis and in areas of disturbance in
the gastro intestinal area, also in abuse of medicine and the associated kidney damage
(after barbiturates and phenacetin).
A combination of Oöphorinum, Baryta Oxalsuccinica, Hydroquinone and Pituitary
can do good work in underdevelopment of the genitalia with adiposity, and also
after antibiotic treatment for gonorrhoea.
Like most quinones, Hydroquinone acts on chronic, dry eczema, especially if this
is aggravated by the slightest dietary indiscretion. Typical are scales, itching areas of
skin without being particularly red, also greasy facial skin and fissured, calloused
changes in the skin and disorders in the jaw area. In the treatment of these the appropriate
nosode should be used concurrently (Mandibular Osteitis Nosode, Granuloma
Dentis Nosode, etc.).
The drug picture of Hydrochinonum was composed in January 1997 by David
Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Hydrocotyle Asiatica – Indian Pennywort
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried aerial parts of Centella asiatica
[L.] Urb. N.O. Umbelliferae.
The main indications are:
Itching of the skin, lupus, leprosy. Psoriasis. Heavy desquamation in skin conditions.
Hyperkeratosis. Scleroderma.
In the foreground of Hydrocotyle’s symptom picture are skin symptoms, particularly
reddening, erythema with itching of the face, neck, chest, back, arms and
thighs, with a sensation of heat, stinging, itching and burning in various places.
Apart from this, it also has eruptions of small pustules and vesicles, with desquamation
and sloughing, increased suppuration of existing ulcers, malformation of the
nails, and also neuralgic facial pains. In addition there are kidney symptoms in particular,
in the form of heaviness and pressure in the renal area, bladder spasms with
creeping in the urethra, urinary tenesmus and increased excretion of urine.
The picture also includes dull pains in the womb and ovaries, with a sensation of
itching, stinging and heat in the vagina, violent congestive states and pains in the
uterus, premature arrival of the menses, and discharge.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Centella asiatica, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
hydrocotyle asiatica: metritis; dermal disorders with pachynsis and pruritus.
Hydrocyanicum Acidum – Hydrogen Cyanide
The attenuations are prepared from diluted Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, MW: 27.03.
Epileptic attacks, preceded by a sensation of a flash of lightning from head to
feet. Cholera with collapse. Pernicious forms of scarlatina. Malaria with fainting, icy
coldness of the body, pulse undetectable. Dry, tickling cough in tuberculosis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum hydrocyanicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for acidum hydrocyanicum: various conditions of spasmodic contraction
(cramps); cerebral seizure disorders; angina pectoris; bronchial asthma; renal failure
and intestinal cramps; paralysis in conjunction with cerebrovascular accidents; cardiac
and circulatory failure; respiratory paralysis.
349
Hyoscyamus – Henbane
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant in flower of hyoscyamus
niger L. N.O. Solanaceae.
There is a close relationship between the three Solanaceae: Hyoscyamus, Belladonna
and Stramonium. The main active ingredient of Hyoscyamus is the alkaloid,
hyoscyamine.
The three related alkaloids, hyoscyamine, atropine (Belladonna) and daturine
(Stramonium) enlarge the pupils constantly, and cause great dryness of the mouth
and pharynx, larynx and bronchi, and external skin, as well as difficulty in swallowing
and hoarseness. In larger doses they bring about swimming in the head, with vertigo,
hallucinations and delirium. In smaller doses they depress the heart function
and slow the pulse rate, whereas after a large dose an immediate initial slowing of
the pulse rate is followed by an equally rapid compensatory increase above the normal.
Whereas atropine in large doses almost always causes an erythema of the skin, a
flushing similar to that of scarlet fever, this is only exceptionally noticed with
hyoscyamine.
As a rule, atropine causes an ecstatic delirium with a tendency towards wrestling,
scuffling, laughing and all sorts of unconventional behaviour, although on the other
hand there may also be unusual unsteadiness and great muscular weakness. With
hyoscyamine neither is the case; on the contrary there is a tendency towards sleep
and rest. On odd occasions when too high a dose has been taken, atropine-like
symptoms of excitement may be noticed.
Atropine also causes paralysis of the sphincters of anus and bladder, in contrast to
hyoscyamine, which has a more paralytic effect on the sphincters of the iris than
does atropine. Hyoscyamine is not identical to atropine.
With long-term use, hyoscyamine is followed by heavy haemorrhage from the
womb, as well as sweats and peculiar skin eruptions.
Hyoscyamus has a characteristic aggravation of complaints in the evening-time,
with an irresistible urge to sleep and to day-dream predominating, with a long, deep
sleep as if drugged, characterised by grindling of the teeth (!).
Apart from states of excitement with great restlessness, mobility and loquacity,
there are passionate vehemence, jealousy, raving and attacks of fury. At the other
end of the scale there may also be depression to the point of melancholia, and dull
apathy (in chronic poisoning).
The skin symptoms are itching and redness. Brown patches appear here and there
and disappear again. The typical facial appearance is puffed up and dark red with
purulent vesicles on the lips and pustular conditions on the chin and cheeks; these
may also occur around the hips and knees.
The picture of Hyoscyamus also includes parotitis and tonsillitis.
Particularly typical are, however, disorders of the intellectual functions, with excitement
and possible subsequent weakening; there is inane chatter and foolish ges-
350
tures and actions, betraying a confusion of ideas, as also in delirium, weakness of
thinking and memory and finally characterised by a dulling of the powers of comprehension.
Attacks of epileptic spasms with tetany, convulsions, trismus, congestion of blood
in the head and headaches are also typical.
The eyes have a glazed stare and an unusual sheen, and there may be protrusion,
distortion and spasms of the eye muscles.
Further indications are conjunctival discharge, and marked pupil-enlargement,
dullness of vision, weakness of vision and myopia – for Hyoscyamus and for Belladonna
(Atropinum Sulphuricum).
There may also be amaurosis, with flickering and dark spots in the field of vision
and abnormal refraction of the light-rays, so that objects appear smaller, change position,
or their outlines are blurred. Objects may also appear in a scarlet light, or
shining like gold. Double vision may also occur.
There may also be disturbances in the hearing, with complete deafness, pains in
the cartilage of the ear, and tearing pains, especially in the evenings.
In the provings there also occurred spasmodic tension and painful stiffness of the
neck- and shoulder-muscles, with tearing pains in the back and loins and swelling of
the ankle. There was also trembling of the arm and rheumatic pains in the elbows
and wrists, with swelling and stiffness of the hands, and diminished feeling or “pins
and needles” in the arms and hands.
As with Belladonna there can be a paralysis and coldness of the lower limbs, with
pains in the hip-joints, knees or ankles, weakness of the legs, swelling of the feet and
tearing pains in the soles. According to the dose, there may be a stronger and irregular
heart contraction and an accelerated, full, strong pulse, with pulsation of the arteries,
or else a smaller, slower or more rapid, scarcely detectable, failing pulse.
The respiratory symptoms are characterised by catarrhs of the larynx, nasal mucosa
and bronchi, with greenish mucous expectoration on coughing, constriction of
the chest and shortness of breath. On inspiration stitching pains are felt in the chest
(cf. Bryonia). The spasmodic, dry cough shows a marked nightly aggravation, especially
when lying, which fades on sitting up: a guiding symptom which should lead
to the prescription of Hyoscyamus.
Hyoscyamus should also always be indicated by the symptom of grinding the
teeth in sleep, bearing in mind Ignatia and Cina also.
Acute tonsillitis reacts mostly not only to Belladonna, but also to Hyoscyamus,
when there is the sensation of great dryness, scratching and burning in the palate and
the oesophagus, with swallowing difficulties on account of the inflamed swelling of
the tonsils.
There may also be a loathing for drinks. After drinking there are convulsive movements
with disordered consciousness, and there may also be retching with nausea
but not vomiting, stomach pains with severe distension, flatulence and violent colics,
constipation and evacuation of firm faeces or else loose stools with abdominal rumblings
and cutting pains. Frequent passing of threadworms is also said to be typical,
as is discharge from the haemorrhoids.
351
Inflammatory symptoms and paralytic weakness are also found in the bladder,
with frequent urging and painful, scanty urination, possibly associated with erections
and sexual phantasizing to the point of priapism, linked with temporary impotence;
in the female sex there are inflammatory conditions of the vaginal mucosa,
with intensified desire and violent phantasizing to the point of nymphomania, also
hysterical moods ands menses beginning 14 days too early with copious bleeding.
If the main symptoms of Hyoscyamus are summed up, we have the following typical
remedy-picture: - Symptoms of cerebral irritation with convulsions, muscle-twitching, catalepsy
and epileptiform spasms. Mental disorders, characterised by silliness and unconventional
behaviour, or erotic states of ecstasy. - Eye-conditions. Conjunctivitis. Double vision. Objects seen appear red.
- Tearing pains in the ears at night. Hearing impairment and facial pain. Delusions
of jealousy. - Spasmodic nocturnal attacks of tickling cough, ameliorated by sittig up. Expectoration
of green muscus on coughing. Dryness in the throat, larynx and lungs. - Nose-bleeds. Stomach pains. Inflammations of the gastric mucosa and intestines
with retching, vomiting, colic and diarrhoea. - Spasms of the bladder. Paralysis of the bladder with arousal in the sexual sphere.
Menses too early and too heavy. - Rheumatism or gouty conditions in nervous tracts and joints.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hyoscyamus niger, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for hyoscyamus: restlessness and conditions of excessive excitement; insomnia;
spastic conditions of the respiratory passages and of the alimentary tract.
Hypericum – St. John’s Wort
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant, Hypericum perforatum
L., gathered in flower. It is very frequently found in meadows, pastures and in sparse
woodland in Europe and Central Asia. N.O. Guttiferae.
The main indications are:
Injuries to nerves and brain. Osteoarthritis with sensitivity of the cervical spine.
Strangury in cystitis. Endometritis, vaginitis, cervicitis. Sense of smell more delicate.
Dryness of the nasal mucosa. Hypericum is “The Arnica of the Nerves” (Dr.
Schlegel of Lindau).
Hypericum is especially indicated in puncture wounds and nerve irritation, not
only after injury but in changes of postural balance in the spine, when nerves are
trapped or pressed (in the intervertebral foramina) as a result of faulty posture, and
in complaints arising from osteo-arthritis.
352
However, the remedy picture of Hypericum also contains emotional changes, excitement
with ensuing relaxation, lassitude, trembling and unaccustomed thirst, as
well as spasmodic complaints.
One symptom which may point to the remedy is the sensation as if the head were
enlarged, (cf. Paris Quadrifolia).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hypericum perforatum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for hypericum: traumata suffered by the peripheral or central nervous systems;
emotional discord or upset; cerebral angiosclerosis; asthma.
Hypophysis Suis – Pituitary Gland
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from fresh pituitary taken from a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus). It is a gland the size of a cherry, situated at the
base of the brain.
The main indications are:
Endocrine disorders. Pituitary obesity. Dystrophia adiposo-genitalis. Symptoms
of ovarian deficiency. Disturbances in menstruation and ovulation. Chronic arthroses
and primary chronic polyarthritis. Disorders of connective tissue. Growth disorders.
Dysmenorrhoea. Galactorrhoea. Neurodermatitis and other skin diseases.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hypophysis cerebri, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for hypophysis suis: vertigo; states of confusion.
Hypothalamus Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from hypothalamus taken from a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus). It is situated in the mid-brain.
The main indications are:
Disturbed sleep pattern. Parkinson’s disease. Epileptiform states. Disorders of
maturation and development, including those of a mental kind in children. Sydenham’s
chorea. Nymphomania. States of excitement. Simmond’s disease.
353
Iberis Amara – Bitter Candytuft
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried ripe seeds of the plant, Iberis
amara L., a native of Central and Southern Europe and often cultivated ornamentally
in gardens. N.O. Cruciferae.
The main indications are:
Pericarditis and endocarditis. Palpitations. Stabbing pains in the heart.
In the foreground of the picture of Iberis are its heart symptoms, such as palpitation
after slight movement, with no intrinsic cause, palpitations with vertigo and
anxiety, heaviness and pressure in the praecordium with shooting pains
(cf. Spigelia), and particularly a nocturnal aggravation, with visible throbbing of the
heart and possible cessation of the heart beat or fibrillation with a small irregular
pulse. However, it also has noteworthy nervous symptoms such as weakness of
memory, swimming in the head with inability to fix the attention, vertigo on rising,
congestion of the head with tinnitus, headache and hearing-impairment with reddened
eyes and optical illusions of light.
In the right shoulder there may be drawing pains with a dull pain and sensation of
heaviness in the left arm, and trembling in the lower limbs after movement.
The congestive states of the heart may be ameliorated by increased mucous secretion
and hawking up of the mucus from the larynx and trachea; there may occur a
sensation in the larynx as if bound up with string and suffocating, with inhibited respiration,
shortness of breath and air-hunger.
The abdominal organs may also be involved, with eructations, weakness of digestion,
distension, sensations of pressure and pain in the liver region, and frequent
stools of soft consistency, the colour of clay (biliary disease).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Iberis amara, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
iberis amara: arrhythmia; cardiac insufficiency.
Ichthyolum – Ammonium Bituminosulphonate
(Ammonium Bituminosulphonicum)
The attenuations are prepared from the carbonisation oil obtained from dry distillation
of bituminous slate, sulphonated with sulphuric acid and neutralised with
ammoniac.
The main indications are:
Pustular acne. Violent pruritus (facial).
In practice, Ammonium Bituminosulphonicum (Ichthyol) is used principally in
the form of Ichthyol ointment. This serves to soften and clear out abscesses and as
stimulative treatment in inflammations.
354
About 35 years ago the author began a proving of Ichthyol, but had to break it off
because incrasingly unpleasant symptoms were making their presence felt, as follows:
On taking Ichthyol 30X, 5–8 drops three times a day (hand-successed potencies,
prepared from bottle to bottle), no symptoms of any kind were produced. On taking
Ichthyol 27X, every evening on lying down to sleep a considerable itching set in,
typically on the cheek-bone on both sides, round about the place where acne rosacea
tends to be located. The complaints increased, and intensified with the eruption of
small vesicles and, on taking the 25X, inflamed pustules.
As the author was practising every day, this eruption caused him not a little inconvenience.
Along with his wife, who was also doing the proving and had the same
symptoms, he therefore discontinued the proving.
Bearing in mind the high degree of biological activity of the slate-oils, this remedy
should have a more thorough homoeopathic proving.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ammonium bitumino-sulfonicum,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for ichthyolum: suppurative dermal inflammations; chronic bronchitis.
Ignatia – St. Ignatius’ Bean
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried ripe seeds of the plant, Strychnos
ignatii Berg., a native of the Philippines. N.O. Loganiaceae.
The “Ignatia” tincture produced from the St. Ignatius’ beans contains, like its sister-
remedy Nux Vomica, strychnine and brucine as main ingredients.
Ignatia is considered the main remedy for hysteria and states of nervous exhaustion,
and is indicated in changeable moods, hypersensitivity to pain, twitching,
headaches, stomach complaints, dysmenorrhoea, sensitivity to tobacco-smoke and
smells generally, rectal prolapse, and absurd symptoms of a general kind.
However, in critically evaluating Ignatia symptoms, we must avoid the opinion
that the symptoms which respond to Ignatia, because of their hysterical or nervous
factor, can be dismissed with a wave of the hand. You see, with these symptoms we
are dealing almost every time with impregnation phases, such as are consistent with
disturbances of the autonomic nervous system, for example. In children this may be
a prelude to meningitis and otitis media. Also typical are gastro intestinal
symptoms, particularly with a feeling of weakness in the pit of the stomach, as if the
stomach were hanging down.
Ignatia patients are supposed in the main to be intolerant, quarrelsome, irascible
people of great touchiness, who react very easily to fright (cf. Aconitum, Opium and
Veratrum), and who also tend easily towards spasms and convulsions, and in whom
a typical migraine occurs with the symptom, as if a nail were being driven out
through the side of the head.
355
We must be quite clear in our minds that such complaints can in many cases actually
be of a very unpleasant and stubborn nature and do not respond – or only temporarily
– to the usual drugs, even to Atarax; on the other hand they can soon be removed
with combination remedies which contain Ignatia.
One symptom in particular must be picked out, which is generally described as
protracted sighing or taking a deep breath; that, however, does not give the full picture.
It is better described as dyspnoea, and in fact a possibly malignant dyspnoea, as
if from inner suffocation. Nor are Ignatia patients necessarily always of the female
sex; the male sex suffers with such symptoms just as often; even men in the prime of
life often need Ignatia, e.g. heart-patients with dyspnoea. Nash tells us that the tearful,
sensitive mood may be traced back both to fright and also to chronic worry. This
is indeed the case. On the other hand, Ingatia patients do tend to take everything
very badly and to work themselves up over comparatively simple and harmless problems,
regarding them as insurmountable, with the result that complaints then arise
such as migraine-like headaches which are ameliorated by warmth and lying on the
affected side, spasmodic contractions in the intestinal area with stabbing pains in the
rectum, shooting up into the colon and awakening the suspicion of rectal cancer.
Give a dose of Ignatia and these complaints will move in regressive vicariation from
within outwards, maybe in the form of inflamed haemorrhoids or an anal or umbilical
eczema.
An example of the absurd symptoms peculiar to Ignatia is intermittent fever
where, during the chill, and only at that stage, there is a feeling of thirst, and also a
red face, which is characteristic of no other remedy.
Ignatia also has a sensation of pressure in the throat, like a ball, as if choking were
imminent, similar to the globus hystericus, or perhaps to be interpreted in the context
of the dyspnoea already mentioned.
Skin eruptions may also occur: little acne pustules around the eyes and on the
chin, as well as urticarial eruptions and falling out of hair.
Eye symptoms may include optical illusions, e.g. white, flickering, shining zigzags
at the periphery of the field of vision, as occurs in detachment of the retina.
Articular pains may occur in the hands and fingers with stiffness and drawing
pains, and there may be weakness in the lower limbs, as in incipient primary chronic
polyarthritis or the paresis of tabes.
There may be hypersensitivity of the skin to draughts and fresh air.
The exhaustion and weakness are aggravated by coffee, spirits and tobacco smoking,
which is particularly intolerable.
This is accompanied by an extraordinary slowness in thinking.
The mood may switch rapidly from one extreme to the other.
However, Ignatia may also be the remedy for more or less purely physical phases
such as balanitis, prostatitis, leucorrhoea, metrorrhagia with congealed pieces of
black blood smelling offensively, inflammatory symptoms on the eyelids, nose and
lips, tickling cough, laryngospasm, oesophageal spasms, difficulties in swallowing,
anal prolapse, jaundice, spasm of the bladder and febrile attacks similar to malaria,
or even genuine malaria.
356
Although in all these symptoms frequently no serious organic change can be
found in the context of degeneration phases, nevertheless we are clearly dealing
with toxic effects, often with impregnation phases, which must have the correct antihomotoxic
remedy, which is Ignatia.
Ignatia should also be borne in mind in numerous retoxic phases. The irritability
of the nervous system may provide a pointer here (effects of strychnine and
brucine), since this is characteristic of Ignatia and constitutes the organic foundation
for the frequently changing symptoms which occur in impregnation phases resulting
in many cases from retoxication.
The following essential symptomatology results from a summary of the above: - Nerve remedy. Hypersensitivity of all the sensory organs, including the skin.
Hypersensitivity to smells, tobacco, smoke, and consumption of alcohol and coffee. - Consequences of worry, takes everything hard. Tendency to weep. Hides her
worries from people at large. Taciturnity. Emotional depression (exogenous).
Consequences of fright. Longs for solitude. - Slowness in thinking and speaking. Absent-mindedness. Bewildered air. Weakness
of memory. Thoughtlessness. Confusion. - Trembling. Twitching. Fits of crying or laughing. Oesophageal spasms. Globus
hystericus. Migraine (like a nail through the side of the head, followed by passing
of colourless urine). - Laryngospasm. Globus hystericus. Also Sydenham’s chorea and epileptiform attacks.
- Tonsillitis, with amelioration of the throat-pains from swallowing.
- Sensation of weakness in the stomach, as though hung down limply (cf. Sepia).
- Anal prolapse with violent contracting pains which also shoot upwards in the
rectum and into the colon. - Intermittent fever with thirst and hot head during the chill.
- Dysmenorrhoea. Menses with black, lumpy, foetid blood.
- Dyspnoea as from internal suffocation, also in asthma. Has to keep sighing
deeply, but cannot complete a breath owing to retoxic enzyme-damage. (Especially
complements Carbo Vegetabilis.)
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Strychnos ignatii, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
ignatia: nervous disorders; emotional discord or upset; spasmodic conditions experienced
at hollow organs and muscles.
357
Indol – Indole
The attenuations are prepared from Indole (2,3-benzopyrrole) C8H7N, MW:
117.15.
The main characteristics and the indications are:
Factor in the putrefaction of albumen in the intestines. In toxicosis, sepsis, typhus,
cholera; may be used generally as an intercurrent in poisonings.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Indolum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
indol: putrescence dyspepsia.
Influenzinum – Nosode of Influenza-Vaccine
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from heat-inactivated vaccine of a
defined strain of influenza virus.
This is one of the most-used nosodes, since numerous later, chronic illnesses can
be traced back to retoxic treatment of influenza and colds.
General tendency to corpulence and adiposity, even in children, arising from thyroid
hypofunction. Has an excellent tonic action in exhaustion and tiredness. Intransigent
hoarseness. Rheumatic complaints with violent pains, especially in cold, wet
weather (cf. Rhododendron, Psorinum). Tendency to catch cold, may also be used as
a prophylactic for influenza. Vascular diseases in the legs (varicose veins, intermittent
claudication). Surge of blood to the head. Trivial heart complaints (so-called
neurosis).
Bronchial asthma, chronic polysinusitis and other sequelae of influenza, also iatrogenic
damage.
May also have a good effect in telangiectasis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Influencinum-Nosode, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for Grippe-Nosode: parainfluenzal diseases.
358
Insecticide
The attenuations are prepared from the insecticide Parathion, C10H14NO5PS, MW:
291.27.
The main indications are:
Acute dermatitis. Liver damage. Air-hunger. States of stimulation of the sympathetic
nerves. Autonomic disturbances.
Insulin
The attenuations are prepared from the pig’s polypeptide hormone Insulin
C256H381N65O67S6, MW: 5778 (potentised allopathic compound).
The main indications are:
Disorders of glucose metabolism and liver function. Arteriosclerosis and vascular
spasms. May be tried in Raynaud’s disease and in intermittent claudication.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Insulinum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
insulin: general weakness and debilitation and hyperhidrosis, experienced several
hours after meals.
Iodum – Iodine
The mother tincture is prepared from Iodine, I2 , MW: 253.8.
The main indications are:
Heat and restlessness. Amelioration in cool air, in cool rooms and walking about.
Emaciation in spite of eating well. Thyrotoxicosis. Sensation of emptiness in the
stomach, also with duodenal ulcer. Glandular swellings. Nasal discharge and particularly
certain forms of coryza (acute fluent coryza). In coryza, when other remedies
fail, Iodum often acts surprisingly well. Insufferable, grumpy, irritable mood. Compulsion
to be on the move: wanders about day and night. Exophthalmos. Underdevelopment
of the breasts. Dyspnoea in pneumonia of the upper lobes. Bloodstreaked
sputum, spasmodic tickling cough. Tuberculosis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Iodum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for iodum:
hyperthyroidism; furunculosis; acne vulgaris.
359
Ipecacuanha – Ipecac
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried underground parts of Cephaelis
ipecacuanha [Brot.] A. Rich., a plant growing in Brazil, India and Malaysia. N.O.
Rubiaceae.
Ipecacuanha is one of those homoeopathic remedies whose indications are few,
but typical. Nausea, vomiting and retching are characteristic, occurring not only in
gastric disorders but also with coughing. There is also purging at both ends, with fermented,
grass-green or mucous stools which may be dysenteric and contain blood.
With gastric and duodenal ulcers there is often nausea, but especially in whooping
cough and other types of cough, and also in asthma, where an excessive accumulation
of mucus always suggests Ipecacuanha. This nausea is also characteristic of
Ipecacuanha in feverish states, not only in intermittent fever and malarial illnesses
but also in influenzal feverish catarrhs or in rattling respiration, the expectoration
being difficult to loosen, e.g. in emphysema and asthma.
Haemorrhages also suggest Ipecacuanha, bright red, gushing haemorrhages, occurring
both acutely and profusely, e.g. menorrhagia and metrorrhagia, but also from
the rectum, lungs, nose, bladder and any orifice of the body.
A summary gives us the following characteristic symptoms: - Nausea, not relieved by vomiting, frequently with a clean tongue.
- Gastroenteritis with frothy, grass-green, mucous or bloody stools.
- Cough with retching, as if the stomach were turning over. Whooping cough.
- Burning in the stomach with thirst, restlessness and nausea. Duodenal ulcer.
- Asthma. Emphysema.
- Bright red, gushing haemorrhages. Menorrhagia and metrorrhagia.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cephaelis ipecacuanha, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for ipecacuanha: bronchitis; bronchial asthma; whooping cough; gastrointestinal
inflammation; mucosal bleeding; circulatory disorders.
Iris Versicolor – Blue Flag
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant, Iris versicolor
L., which occurs in the U.S.A. and Canada. N.O. Iridaceae.
The main indications are:
Hemicrania. Flickering scotoma, followed by headache. Sunday migraine. Sour
vomiting, like vinegar, excoriating. Summer diarrhoea. Sciatica with stabbing,
shooting pains, as if lame and the hip dislocated.
360
The Iris Versicolor headache occurs mostly on the right side, associated with catarrhs
of the eyes and conjunctiva and with tinnitus (ringing and roaring noises). It
tends to come on mostly on non-working days, especially Sundays, and for this no
physiological reason can be given.
Also typical of Iris Versicolor are the frequently changing pains, which are cutting
pains of short duration, the right side being mainly affected.
On the skin, Iris Versicolor can also have a beneficial effect on vesicles and pustules
on the head, face, trunk and limbs with a tendency to suppurate.
Anal prolapse often occurs in the intestinal colics with violent urging for stool,
frequent passing of watery, mucous stools and burning pains in the rectum, possibly
with blood in the stools.
Should the catarrhal symptoms spread to the renal pelvis, ureters and urethra, then
the urine usually has a peculiar, penetrating odour.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Iris versicolor, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
iris: migraine; facial neuralgia; sciatic neuralgia; condition following herpes zoster;
inflammation of the gastric mucosa and of the pancreas.
361
Jaborandi – Pilocarpus
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried leaves of the plant(s) Pilocarpus
jaborandi Holmes, P. pennatifolius Lem. and/or P. microphyllus Stapf, natives of
Brazil. N.O. Rutaceae.
The main indications are:
Abnormal sweats, nocturnal sweats in pulmonary tuberculosis, excessive salivation
and cystitis during pregnancy. Hyperhydrosis generally, sweats after
menopausal hot flushes.
Jaborandi, which contains pilocarpine, is known for its qualities as a diaphoretic,
promoting sweating, and a myotic (i.e. causing the pupils to contract). Heinigke describes
the action of Jaborandi in the form of an infusion containing 6 grams. of the
leaves as follows: “The face immediately flushes, the temporal arteries begin to
throb, and a strange sensation of heat occurs in the mouth and face. Salivation begins,
the brow becomes wet, sweating occurs all over the face, and the saliva flows
more and more, filling the mouth with great quantities of fluid, leading to continual
spitting; gradually the whole body is bathed in sweat, and an agreeable feeling of
warmth predominates. Meanwhile, other realisations have dawned: the eyelids are
moistening, the pupils are contracting slightly, the nose begins to run and the mucous
membranes of pharynx, trachea and bronchi are exuding watery mucus; there
are also palpitations and an irregular pulse. These symptoms are at their most intense
after taking the remedy, continue for about 30–50 minutes, and then gradually die
down, followed by a certain weakness and sleepiness, and a great dryness of all the
organs which have just been so intensely active, remaining for a shorter or longer
time.”
This picture of the effects of pilocarpine, which is the main active ingredient of
Jaborani, can be used to good effect according to Reversal effect and the Law of
Similars in such conditions as abnormal sweating, especially in night-sweats of tubercular
patients, in salivation and urinary disorders, also during pregnancy, and
also in spasms of the muscles of accommodation and various other kinds of visual
disorders, such as difficulties in accommodation and spasms of the eyelids.
There are also good results in bronchitis with profuse secretion of watery mucus
and in inflammation of the parotid glands, as well as in dysmenorrhoea of young
girls who have extremely dry skin and scanty periods; it is also particularly good for
nursing mothers who are short of milk.
Pilocarpine is used in ocular medicine in order to contract the pupils, e.g. in injuries
to the iris and in glaucoma, a 1%–2% solution being employed. Compared
with eserine, pilocarpine has the advantage of a less powerful action, the accommodation
being affected to a lesser degree, and the tendency towards iritis being enhanced
to a lesser degree than with eserin.
Good results have also been obtained in daily headaches which occur around midday
and are associated with accelerated respiration and also with pressure on the
chest, anxiety, palpitations, pain in the praecordia region, vertigo and pulsating pain
362
on the vertex. It should also be tried in disorders of accommodation, especially with
spasm of the muscles of accommodation while reading, when the letters suddenly
disappear, it becomes difficult to see in detail and there is myopia.
Good results could be expected in swelling of the middle ear (cf. Euphorbium),
and in a sensation of emptiness in the lower abdomen, in painless diarrhoea, in
flushing of the face with outbreak of sweat, and in sudden violent pain in the bladder,
shooting into the urethra, so that the patient has to cry out, and also in burning in
the urethra with urging to urinate.
An important indication is also its use in pulmonary oedema with frothy expectoration
and watery or mucous secretions, generally accompanied by excessive sweating
at various locations on the body.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Pilocarpus, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
jaborandi: eye disorders; excessive sweating.
Jejunum Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from fresh jejunum obtained from a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Duodenal ulcer. Pancreatitis. Dumping syndrome. Hypoglycaemia.
Juglans – Walnut
The mother tincture is prepared from equal parts of the fresh leaves and the fresh
rind of the green fruit of Juglans regia L. ssp. regia, a native of the Caucasus and
now cultivated throughout Europe on account of its fruits. N.O. Juglandaceae.
The main indications are:
Lymphadenopathy. Tuberculosis. Chronic urethral discharge.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Juglans regia, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
juglans: suppurative rashes; lymphadenitis; liver disorders; headaches.
363
Juniperus Communis – Juniper
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh, ripe berries of the plant, Juniperus
communis L., which is distributed over the whole Northern hemisphere. N.O. Cupressaceae.
The main indications are:
Glomerulonephritis. As a diuretic.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Juniperus communis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for juniperus communis: elimination dysfunctions of the urinary tract collection
system; dyspeptic complaints.
364
Kali Arsenicosum – Potassium Arsenite
The attenuations are prepared from Potassium metarsenite, KAsO2 · HAsO2, MW:
253.95.
The main indications are:
Nephrotic syndrome. Chronic eczemas, dry, slack skin. Emaciation down to the
bones. Itching psoriasis. Lichen ruber, numerous papules with white scales and fissures
in the creases of elbows and knees. Pruritus in warmth. Quarrelsome, peevish,
discontented mood; apathy.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium arsenicosum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for kalium arsenicosum: dry rashes; tabetic disorders; chronic kidney disorders.
Kali Asparaginicum – Potassium Asparate
The attenuations are prepared from the mono potassium salt of L-Aspartic acid,
C4H6NO4K, MW: 171.2.
The potassium salts have important biological functions to fulfil in the body, aspartic
acid serving as a coupling factor to potassium through salt-formation and
showing an especial affinity for important intermediate conversions.
Obviously asparagine (and glutamine) are given the function of recapturing the nitrogens
proceeding from the breakdown of albumen for the plant (Leuthardt.) In the
intermediate metabolism, aspartic acid is known to be a sugarformer, a so-called
glucoplastic amino-acid. Aspartic acid is also involved in the synthesis of urine, of
purine and pyrimidine, and in nitrogen-fixation, which depends on the presence of
minute quantities of molybdenum, insofar as the intermediate product, oximinosuccinic
acid, is further reduced to to aspartic acid.
Aspartic acid, moreover, is a nitrogen-donor in the transformation of citrulline
into arginine, from which the significance for the synthesis of urine becomes apparent.
By Clostridium Welchii, aspartic acid can be decarboxylated, and transformed
into α-alanine.
Since potassium salts perform an important function of the so-called “sodium
pump” in the cell-membrane, the combination with aspartic acid, intermediately extremely
active as it is, appears especially noteworthy for influencing intra-cellular
enzyme-mechanisms. Thus Kali Asparaginicum is generally used primarily in
preparations which are aimed at stabilising or regenerating the enzyme-functions.
365
Kali Bichromicum – Potassium Bichromate
The attenuations are prepared from Potassium bichromate, K2Cr2O7, MW: 294.2.
The medicinal solutions prepared from Potassium bichromate can be helpful in a
few characteristic symptoms, e.g. in catarrhal conditions of the mucosa of the respiratory
passages, the gastro intestinal tract and the female genitalia, and also in pains
which occur in small places and move about, with possible alternation of catarrhal
and rheumatic complaints, e.g. also pains in the heels.
There is a typically rapid appearance of many complaints which soon disappear
again; also a morning aggravation, with amelioration from staying in the fresh air.
Characteristic of Kali Bichromicum are headaches which appear after flickering scotoma,
possibly associated with vertigo and heaviness of the head, and with stabbing
pains in the temples, and also frontal headache beginning in the morning, becoming
worse as the day goes on and disappearing towards evening.
Especially characteristic of Kali Bichromicum are the tough, stringy mucous secretions
which occur with catarrhs of the sinuses, the nose, the bronchi, etc. The
mucus can scarcely be cleared, and may hang from the mouth in long strings.
Inflammations of the eyelids, and conjunctivitis, are likewise indications for Kali
Bichromicum, if accompanied by corneal ulcers with a punched-out appearance.
Ulcers of the same kind may also be found on the gums, the tongue, the lips, and
even on the gastric mucosa (gastric or duodenal ulcer). The tongue often has a thick,
yellow, mucous coating, or else, in ulcerative stomatitis or tonsillitis it may be dry,
smooth, shiny or fissured.
Acute gastroenteritis, associated with vomiting of clear, light-coloured fluid or
quantities of mucous bile, also haematemesis, flatulent colics, and dysenteric stools
with tenesmus all respond well to Kali Bichromicum. It is also of service in balanitis
and prostatitis (with pain on movement), and in incipient urinary obstruction with
copious solid deposits, and in purulent vaginal discharge.
A summary provides us with the following typical remedy-picture: - Subacute to chronic catarrhal conditions with punched-out ulcers. Corneal ulcers
(including syphilitic origin). - Acute gastroenteritis and ulercous stomatitis. Chronic ulcer problems, especially
in habitual drinkers. - Leucorrhoea. Cervicitis and ulcerative vulvitis with pains in the loins and abdomen.
- Chronic rheumatic muscle and joint conditions, alternating with catarrhs.
- Flickering scotoma with frontal headache. Anosmia. The flickering scotoma dies
down and is replaced by a typical headache in a small, circumscribed location. - Ropy mucus, hanging from the mouth in long strings.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium bichromicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
366
Gazette) for kalium bichromicum: mucosal inflammation of the respiratory passages,
the gastrointestinal tract, and the urinary system; chronic dermal ulcers; neuralgia
and rheumatism.
Kali Bromatum – Potassium Bromide
The attenuations are prepared from Potassium bromide, KBr, MW: 119.0.
The main indications are:
Declining memory. Speech disorders, omits words and syllables. Accompanied by
restlessness, always busy and occupied. Hands tremble, restless, nervous. Pustular
acne.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium bromatum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for kalium bromatum: conditions of excessive excitement associated with
the central nervous system; cerebral seizure disorders; nightmares; sleepwalking;
insomnia; reduced cerebral emotivity, as with paralysis; sequelae of cerebrovascular
accidents; hypomnesia; acne vulgaris.
Kali Carbonicum – Potassium Carbonate
The attenuations are prepared from Potassium carbonate, K2CO3, MW: 138.2.
Kali Carbonicum, Potassium carbonate or potash is an extraordinarily important
homoeopathic remedy, acting particularly on the mucosa and heart. There are typical
stabbing pains, which are independent of movement, and also back-pains between
the shoulder-blades. There is anaemia, and often also nausea, pressure in the stomach,
nasal and bronchial catarrh, and possibly whooping cough and chronic gastro
intestinal catarrh.
Also typical of Kali Carbonicum are oedemas of the upper eyelids, and possibly
puffiness of the whole face.
There may also be haemorrhoids with burning, itching pains, and these may be associated
with constipation and frequent unsuccessful urging (as in Nux Vomica).
Haemorrhage from the lungs and a tendency towards miscarriage, the patient
needing to lie down, come within the sphere of indication of this remedy.
Especially typical of Kali Carbonicum however are the heart-symptoms. There
are perpetual arrhythmias, possibly interspersed with paroxysmal tachycardia. There
are frequently defects of the valves, associated with myocardial weakness and stab-
367
bing pains in the heart. The Kali salts have a general prophylactic action in respect to
heart attack.
The author was especially pointed towards Kali Carbonicum about 40 years ago in
treating a patient, about 30 years of age, with damage to the myocardium. This patient
was suffering from an arrhythmia, which had remained with him after an infectious
disease. His E.C.G. showed lesions which medical opinion at that time considered
irreparable. The patient was then prescribed Kali Carbonicum 4X and nothing
else, following which both his general state of health and also the arrhythmia improved.
After a treatment of several months the myocardial damage was also completely
removed, so far as that could be ascertained at the time by E.C.G., since the
E.C.G. pattern had returned completely to normal.
It might also be mentioned that Kali Carbonicum has proved its worth in tubercular
conditions, also in diseases like scurvy and disordered liver function with jaundice,
and in weakness of the bladder.
Kali Carbonicum has a quite particular action on the right lung, on stitching pains
which are not connected with the respiration. Thus it is also indicated in right-sided
pleurisy, especially when there are heavy night-sweats without relief. In contrast to
Bryonia, in such conditions the patient cannot lie on the affected side.
Kali Carbonicum has a typical aggravation-time of 3:00 a.m.. There is also a great
sensitivity to touch (cf. Apis), and a great weakness, presenting as muscular weakness.
The following main symptoms emerge from a summary: - Stabbing pains unrelated to the respiration, especially in the right lung.
- Pleurisy (especially on the right-hand side).
- Catarrhal conditions of various kinds, (nose, bronchi, chronic intestinal catarrh,
haemorrhoids). - Haemorrhoidal complaints. Weakness of the bladder. Stress-incontinence of
urine on coughing. - Great weakness and unsteadiness. Muscular weakness and rheumatism.
Anaemia. Cannot bear to be touched. - Chemosis of the upper eyelids.
- Sensitivity in the epigastrium.
- Damage to the heart muscle with arrhythmia; may miss every third beat. Stabbing
pains in the heart and changes in the E.C.G. pattern, particularly in retoxic
phases after infectious illness. - Typical aggravation around 3:00 a.m.
- Prostrating sweats, especially at night.
- Scrofulous conditions. Tendency to catch cold easily. Scurvy-like symptoms.
Stomatitis. Periodontitis. Acne. - Menorrhagia. Metrorrhagia. Uterine prolapse.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium carbonicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for kalium carbonicum: chronic inflammations of the respiratory pas-
368
sages and of the pleura; cardiac diseases; collection of water in tissues; attrition
processes involving the skeletal system; general weakness; paramenia; diseases during
pregnancy.
Kali Chloratum
see Kali Muriaticum
Kali Iodatum – Potassium Iodide
The attenuations are prepared from Potassium iodide, KI, MW: 166.0.
The main indications are:

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium iodatum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
kalium iodatum: inflammation of the upper respiratory passages; soft-tissue
rheumatism.

The main indications are:
Naso-pharyngeal catarrh. Catarrh of the Eustachian tubes with deafness. Sycosis
barbae. Ulcerative keratitis.

Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium chloratum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for kalium muriaticum: inflammations in the nasopharyngeal region, with
fibrinous coat; inflammations of the synovial bursae.
369

The attenuations are prepared from Potassium nitrate, KNO3, MW: 101.0.
The main indications are:
Diuretic. Acutely inflammatory catarrhs of the mucosa in general, with haemorrhagic
tendency.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium nitricum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
kalium nitricum: cardiac and circulatory insufficiency, also with tissue swelling;
diarrhoea with mucus and blood; common cold; polyps.
Kali Phosphoricum – Potassium Phosphate
The attenuations are prepared from Potassium dihydrogen phosphate, KH2PO4,
MW: 136.1.
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is also used as one of Schüssler’s main biochemic
tissue-salts. Its composition – the elements Potassium and Phosphorus –
makes it clear that Kali Phosphoricum must be extremely effective in states of exhaustion,
since potassium salts, and also phosphates, are remedies for weakness in
particular. The biochemical fact that potassium is found in quantity inside the cells,
whereas sodium is found more in the extra-cellular fluid, blood and lymph, makes it
further clear that potassium is in a position to have a deep action on the cellular activity.
By means of the phosphorus component, relationships are established furthermore
with the phosphorylation and formation of adenosine triphosphate in the
mitochondria.
Dahlke describes Kali Phosphoricum as a universal nerve-remedy, which may at
times be used simply on the basis of nervous weakness.
From a homotoxicological point of view, Kali Phosphoricum is indicated when
there is enzyme damage to a greater or lesser degree in the cells, Kali Phosphoricum
being especially indicated then in its various stages of potentisation in reversible enzyme-
blockages in impregnation phases, such as may occur after retoxic treatment
of influenza or infectious diseases, tonsillitis, etc., presenting in symptoms of autonomic
dystonia with nervousness, depressive moods, weakness of memory, anxiety,
sleeplessness, and in serious cases of melancholia with a hysterical and hypochondriacal
element. Pressing headaches, localised particularly in the occiput and occurring
after mental exertion, and pareses, are also indications for Kali Phosphoricum,
as are a wide variety of spasmodic states, e.g. laryngospasm, trismus and writer’s
cramp. Cramps in the calf muscles are also often relieved by Kali Phosphoricum, although
Veratrum and Cuprum have a more thorough action here.
370
Chronic inflammations are also typical of the indications for Kali Phosphoricum.
These may frequently be interpreted as evasive phases, e.g. middle-ear inflammations
with foetid discharge. It should be tried in cholesteatoma, offensive
nasal discharge, scurvy and in watery, painless and foetid diarrhoeas, followed by
great weakness which is somewhat relieved by eating. Emotional diarrhoeas are also
an indication for Kali Phosphoricum, and especially peptic ulcers of the stomach
and duodenum. Typical is a gnawing sensation in the stomach, felt in one small
place and relieved by drinking water. Kali Phosphoricum is also suggested by reflux
oesophagitis with heart-complaints and pain in the left epigastrium, (otherwise Momordica,
Lycopodium, Ceanothus and Lachesis).
Kali Phosphoricum has a typical coating of the tongue. It is coated yellow, as if
with liquid mustard (Dahlke). States of this sort may sometimes be found in typhoid
illnesses or also in feverish states and infections, if these proceed with clouding of
consciousness.
Kali Phosphoricum also works well in incontinence of urine and in bladder irritation,
and is likewise indicated as a supporting remedy in albuminuria and in diabetic
retinopathy. It may also act favourably in bed-wetting and also in acrid, excoriating,
yellowish leucorrhoea, and in seminal emissions, especially where there is great
weakness after coitus and symptoms of impotence are present.
Stauffer refers in addition to the indications in acute and insidious psychoses with
delusions and hallucinations, and recommends Kali Phosphoricum for puerperal
mania and mania a potu, also in alopecia areata and general falling out of hair after
serious illness, as well as in trophic disorders of the vascular nerves and in circulatory
disturbances. It will be understood that Kali Phosphoricum can also be of help
in post-diphtheritic paralysis and in poliomyelitis, likewise in muscular dystrophy
and neuralgias, even when these are of rheumatic origin.
Dewey mentions, amongst other things, the effectiveness of Kali Phosphoricum in
rheumatic lameness of the back, aggravated after rest and on first movement, like
Rhus Toxicodendron.
If we sum up the main symptoms of Kali Phosphoricum, the result is the following
typical remedy picture: - Biochemic tissue-remedy for the nutrition of the nerves and nervous functions, in
Schüssler’s system. - Neurasthenia, hysteria, hypochondriasis, depression and melancholia, nervousness,
weakness of memory, anxiety, autonomic dystonia. - Pressing occipital headache. Tendency to spasms, laryngospasm.
- Catarrh of the endoderm with coated tongue (like liquid mustard). Gastric and
duodenal ulcer. Watery, foetid diarrhoeas. Emotional diarrhoeas. Spasms and
pains in the left upper abdomen. - Leucorrhoea, yellowish and excoriating. Exhaustion after coitus. Incontinence of
urine. Enuresis. Irritation of the bladder and albuminuria, also diabetic retinopathy. - Sequelae of serious septic illnesses, especially after retoxic treatment, also in
falling out of hair and states of exhaustion following retoxic treatment.
371 - Rheumatic pains in the sacrum, associated with muscular weakness, worse when
at rest, on rising and on first movement with lame feeling. Irritable weakness all
over the body. Post-diphtheritic paralysis and after poliomyelitis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium phosphoricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal

Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium sulphuricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for kalium sulphuricum: mucosal inflammations; rashes; rheumatism.
Kalmia – Mountain Laurel
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh leaves of the plant, Kalmia latifolia
L., which occurs in North America from Canada to Ohio and Florida.
N.O. Ericaceae.
Kalmia has somewhat the same indications on the right-hand side as Spigelia has
on the left: stabbing pains in the heart, extending to the right arm. Palpations pulsating
up the right side of the neck. Headache above the right eye. Pains radiate from
the heart and eye as far as the last two fingers of the right hand. Angina pectoris. Endocarditis
in rheumatism of the joints. Heart problems of a syphilitic origin. Incipient
aortic aneurysm.
The main indications are:
Has a specific action in iritis (rheumatic and syphilitic), also in aortic aneurysm
and other aneurysms.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalmia latifolia, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
kalmia: rheumatic and other cardiac diseases; rheumatism; herpes zoster; neuralgia.
α-Ketoglutaricum Acidum – α-Ketoglutaric Acid
The attenuations are prepared from α-ketoglutaric acid, C6H6O5, MW: 146.1.
An active factor in the Citric Acid cycle and in redox systems. All kinds of impregnation
phases, also asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis,
pre-cancerous states and in neoplasm phases (especially in the early stages), to improve
cell-respiration. Diabetes mellitus. Paralysis following a stroke.
Among the catalysts of the Citric Acid cycle, α-Ketoglutaric Acid has the particularly
prominent symptom that the patient always gets too little air, both in asthma
and in emphysema, and also in such conditions as allergic rhinitis and influenza.
373
An especially typical symptom is a feeling of utmost exhaustion, “as if he had
been tortured on the wheel”. The bed feels too hard and the bed-covers too heavy.
(cf. Arnica.)
The windows must always be wide open (cf. Carbo Vegetabilis). Neither can the
patient remain in closed spaces; he runs about restlessly day and night, and eats little
or nothing. There is a typical aggravation from sitting still or driving. (Opposite of
Fluoric and Nitric Acids.)
The remedy is indicated in general glandular hypofunction, in endogenous corpulence,
after tonsillectomy, excision of tumours, and also in atony of the stomach, pyloric
stenosis of infants, stress-incontinence of urine, and in prostate patients and
nocturnal enuresis.
It may also be tried in psoriasis and in infected wounds which are slow to heal;
also in warts, seborrhoea and post-amputation pains (causalgia).
A proving of this substance was conducted in the spring and summer of 1994 by
Dr. David Riley.

• exhaustion, fatigue
• difficult respirations
• fluent coryza as in allergic rhinitis

Klebsiella Pneumoniae – Friedländer’s Bacillus Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from sterilized cultures of the bacteria
Klebsiella pneumoniae (107CFU/g).
The main indications are:
Silicosis. Pneumoconiosis. Bronchiectasis. Bronchial asthma. Iatrogenic damage
from treatment for influenza. Also in acute influenza, pleurisy and pneumonia, especially
in obese patients.
Kreosotum – Creosote
The attenuations are prepared from Creosote, a mixture of Guaiacol, Cresol and
Cresolene obtained by distillation of beechwood tar.
Creosote was formerly used allopathically as an anti-tubercular, antiseptic and
styptic, and especially in dyspepsia. In dentistry creosote used to serve as an additive
to arsenic paste for the devitalisation of dental pulp.
377
Creosote is a carcinogen, and has similar effects to those of pure phenol (Carbolicum
Acidum). It has an excoriating action on the skin and causes white patches
on the oral mucosa and the tongue, followed by deeper destruction of the tissue.
Considering the highly toxic and carcinogenic properties, significant curative action
is to be expected of it by Reversal effect.
Excoriating, foetid and burning discharges are characteristic, as are haemorrhages
and ulcers. A rapid decomposition of fluids and secretions follows, and also gangrene.
Further indications include post-menopausal complaints, pains in gangrenous
(severely carious) teeth and inflamed gums. Stauffer emphasizes as a leading symptom
itching and burning in the parts, also profuse passive haemorrhages and vomiting
of undigested, sour contents of the stomach, 3–4 hours after eating.
There is a tendency towards skin eruptions on the extensor sides of the limbs, and
aggravation from rest and cold. The mood is desperate and despondent, with longing
for death. There is often wasting, especially in children, with diarrhoea, vomiting,
urging to urinate, sickly appearance, emaciation of the face with yellowish complexion,
and a tendency towards ulceration with foetid secretions. Typical is the
heavy bleeding from small wounds, haemorrhage being possible from any organ,
and there is often severe halitosis.
There are also neuralgias, particularly of the sciatic nerve, primarily accompanying
diabetes or albuminuria. Trigeminal neuralgias may proceed from carious teeth.
The eyelids are also inflamed, with conjunctivitis, and severe reddening and
swelling. There may be pustular eczema with scurf on the extensor sides of the
limbs, and possibly also Meibomian cysts and styes, burning, itching, moist eczema
of the ears, and maybe also chronic otitis media and tinnitus.
Throughout the whole symptom-picture of Kreosotum there runs a sickness of a
wide variety of mucosa, so that profuse and loathsome discharges with ulceration
and severely depleted vital energy are typical. This is particularly the case with the
female genitalia, where there is putrid-smelling, acrid, excoriating discharge, staining
the underwear yellow. The itching and burning of the vulva is not relieved by
scratching, but rather this leads to inflammation with a strong tendency to bleeding,
also with the lochia. Nash refers to violent burning in the pelvis, as if from glowing
coals, with lumps of putrid-smelling blood being passed, e.g. in puerperal sepsis.
The menses arrive too early and last too long, are dark and (especially at the
menopause) have a foetid odour; they are intermittent and possibly linked with itching
and burning afterwards, not relieved by scratching. There is a typical symptom
of post-coital bleeding, which is frequently an indication of ulceration or carcinoma
of the cervix and uterus.
There may also be mammary tumours, which are bluish-red and scrufy. Kreosotum
may well be of use in hyperemesis gravidarum, and generally in persistent vomiting,
especially when there is also diarrhoea with stools smelling like carrion. This
is frequently found in teething children, the gums being painful, swollen, dark red
and blue, and the teeth in many cases already destroyed as soon as they have erupted.
378
Nash refers to the reliable urinary symptoms of Kreosotum: - Profuse, pale urine.
- Sudden violent urging (cf. Petroselinum).
- The child wets the bed during first sleep, which is very deep, so that he hardly
wakes. - Can only urinate while lying down. (cf. Zincum Metallicum – only when sitting
bent backwards.)
Nash sees as the most important symptoms: bad teeth and diseased gums; foetid,
acrid discharges; great debility and haemorrhagic tendency.
The Kreosotum picture is rounded off by chronic nasal conditions with acrid discharge,
ulcers and epistaxis, plus protracted catarrhs of the lungs, tuberculosis with
cachexia, weakness, bronchiectasis and gangrene of the lungs; also by chronic gastro
intestinal conditions, possibly haematemesis and distension, also with peri-anal inflammations
and burning pains and heavily bleeding haemorrhoids with internal
burning and itching.
Boericke mentioned Arsenicum Album, Phosphorus and Sulphur as complementary
remedies in malignant illnesses, whilst Carbo Vegetabilis and Carbo Animalis
are said to be inimical, at least in the same potency.
If we sum up the symptoms of Kreosotum, we have the following typical remedypicture: - Widely varying mucosal conditions, with offensive, acrid, excoriating discharges,
staining the underclothing yellow, (leucorrhoea, conjunctivitis). Chronic bronchitis.
Pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchiectasis. Burning pains in the larynx with
spasmodic cough. Chronic gastritis with gastric haemorrhages. Vomiting of
brown masses. Cholera infantum. - Spongy gums and carious teeth, neuralgias proceeding from them. Burning
toothache with deep caries, black patches on the teeth and foetid discharges. - Pruritus and eczema on the extensor sides of limbs with violent burning pains and
small pustules forming crusts; oozing, with continual compulsion to scratch, and
aggravated at night in the warmth of the bed. - Hyperemesis gravidarum and puerperal fever with foul-smelling, black lochia
and retained placenta. - Diabetes mellitus (and possibly albuminuria) with sudden violent urging to urinate,
nocturnal enuresis (in first sleep), foul-smelling urine. Hypertrophy of the
prostate gland. - General haemorrhagic tendency from skin and mucosa. Bloody discharge and
post-coital bleeding. Carcinoma of the uterus.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kreosotum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
kreosotum: inflammations of the skin, the mucosae, the respiratory passages, and
the urinary and reproductive organs; tendency to haemorrhage; behavioural disturbance
among children; age-related diseases.
379
Lac Caninum – Dog’s Milk
The attenuations are prepared from the fresh milk of the domestic lacting dog,
Canis familiaris. N.O. Canidae.
The main indications are:
Tonsillitis (also diphtheria), changing sides from day to day. Frequent movement
of carbuncle. Pains from the chest and throat during the menses. Mastitis. Tongue
coated white with red edges.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Lac caninum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
lac caninum: tonsillitis; paramenia; rheumatism; headaches; hypersensitivity of the
sensory organs.
Lachesis – Bushmaster-Snake venom
The attenuations are prepared from the careful dried venom of the snake, Lachesis
mutus L., which occurs in Central and South America. N.O. Crotalidae.
The venom obtained from Lachesis muta is secreted in large quantities during the
bite, up to 3cm3, lg. when dried. The homoeopath, Dr. Constantine Hering investigated
the venom of Lachesis muta in 1829 in South America. A part of the symptoms
which he gives comes from the toxicology. On the other hand, extensive provings
have been carried out with Lachesis, which have led to a typical symptomatology,
so that today we have a characteristic remedy-picture of Lachesis.
In it there are numerous symptoms, which show Lachesis to be suitable in widely
varying illnesses, of both a functional and an organic kind. Above all it is suited to
septic illnesses and decomposition of the blood, but also to thrombocytopaenic purpura
or a haemorrhagic diathesis, angina pectoris, asthma, influenza, laryngitis, sore
throat, stroke, tuberculous uveitis, nasal catarrh with discharge, otitis media, carbuncles,
boils, varicose ulcers, diphtheria, haemorrhoids, appendicitis, proctitis, dysmenorrhoea,
scarlet fever, gangrene, malaria and kidney diseases with oedematous
swellings. However, a special remedy-picture has emerged with a classified symptomatology,
which we owe most of all to the American physician, Dr. E. B. Nash. Here
we find essentially so-called leading symptoms, whose appearance in a case points us
to Lachesis. If one then looks through the whole remedy picture of Lachesis again,
and enquires of the patient about other symptoms which may be present, then in
many cases one will be able to establish other symptoms from the Lachesis picture.
In fact these leading symptoms point especially to the indications for Lachesis,
one of the most important symptoms being the left-sidedness of the complaints, and
the further progression of the complaints from the left side towards the right, e.g. in
380
sore throat, in neuralgia of the left leg (sciatica), in left-sided ophoritis, left-sided
migraines, and headaches which extend from the left side of the neck into the nose
(similar to Cimicifuga).
A further important symptom is the extraordinary chattiness and loquacity, the
patient jumping from one thought to another. There is also often weakness of memory,
the patient making mistakes in writing. There may be delirium with confusion
of the sense of time and a flushed face, and there can be difficulty in speaking, the
jaw hanging down, particularly associated with depression.
A further characteristic symptom of Lachesis is the aggravation after sleep, or the
typical sleeping into an aggravation. This applies not only to asthma and headaches,
but also to suffocative attacks of a nervous kind or a globus hystericus sensation in
the throat, and also to attacks similar to angina pectoris, ovarian complaints and
swellings of all kinds.
Hot flushes arising from sleep are also characteristic of Lachesis, not only during
the menopause but also in a run-down constitution, e.g. in drinkers. In such cases
one might think of combining Lachesis with Sulphur, Sepia and, in serious cases,
with Sulphuricum Acidum.
Also typical of Lachesis are blocked secretions, either as a result of treatment or
spontaneously, e.g. nasal catarrh, with headache occurring after it has stopped flowing,
but also hay fever with blocked discharges, asthma which cannot be loosened,
and complaints of menstruation or dysmenorrhoea which are relieved by the flow
beginning, or else menopausal complaints which are likewise relieved by a recurrence
of the bleeding.
A further important leading symptom of Lachesis is its sensitivity to constriction,
to touch or external pressure. Not only is this especially marked at the neck, no
necklace, no tight collar, polo-neck etc., but neither can any pressure be tolerated on
the hypochondrium, as is also the case with Lycopodium. The larynx too is frequently
sensitive to the slightest touch, a sensation of suffocation or of globus hystericus
arising in the throat.
A further important leading symptom of Lachesis is the bluish discolouration of
parts of the skin, of mucosa or inflamed places, e.g. carbuncles, boils, ulcers of the
lower leg, the ulcerations having a ready tendency to become gangrenous. Thus
Lachesis is also an important remedy in acute tonsillitis with a touch of sepsis,
where empty swallowing or swallowing of liquids or saliva is far more painful than
swallowing of solids. Pains, especially throat pains, frequently radiate out to the
ears (cf. Hepar Sulphuris).
All discharges from Lachesis patients smell offensive, whether they be pus from
carbuncles or boils, intestinal haemorrhages, stools or secretions from throat infections.
The Lachesis patient’s tongue can only be protruded with great difficulty and is
very dry. Usually it trembles and remains caught on the lower teeth. From this it may
be seen that Lachesis must be indicated in serious septic diseases where such a state
of the tongue is found, although it often responds well likewise to Natrum Muriaticum
in high potency.
381
The trembling of Lachesis is also characteristic, similar to that which is found in
Gelsemium, but in Lachesis there is tremendous weakness.
The sensitivity to the heat of the sun and the exhaustion caused by it are similar to
those found in Glonoinum.
Lachesis has a typical sensation of cramp in the left upper abdomen possibly extending
downwards along the sigmoid colon, with a fear of cancer which is often not
unjustified.
Lachesis is often indicated not only in serious blood dyscrasias and in disorders of
hormonal function, as at the menopause particularly, but also in catarrhs of the mucosa,
in haemorrhoids, in suppurations and inflammations with the development of
sepsis, e.g. sore throats, and other inflammatory states of the kind described. It usually
works particularly well – and this may be especially emphasized – in the form
of injections, since this is most similar to the natural toxic action of snake-venoms.
But one must be very cautious with respect to the potencies used; in particular do
not use too low potencies, since patients often react to these initially with considerable
aggravations. On the other hand, septic conditions such as influenza, boils, carbuncles,
ophoritis etc. often require the lower potencies to begin with. However, in
longer-term treatments, especially if they do not prove too effective, one could successively
increase the potencies which should then achieve astonishing results.
If we make a brief summary of the Lachesis symptoms, the following leading
symptoms emerge which characterise the remedy, and where they occur they will
point us to the prescription of this very important polychrest. - Left-sided remedy, the complaints having a tendency to move to the right side,
as in tonsillitis, ophoritis, headache, tracheitis, laryngitis, angina-like pains, etc. - The patient sleeps into his complaints. Aggravation after sleep.
- Intolerance of any clothing, pressure or constriction, especially round the neck
but also abdominally, and at the mouth or nose. Feeling of suffocation. Globus
hystericus. Bronchial asthma. Angina-like chest pains. - Inflammatory symptoms with bluish-red discolouration and a tendency to become
gangrenous. Oedematous swellings and foul-smelling secretions. - Tongue dry, can only be protruded with difficulty, trembles and remains caught
on lower teeth. - Haemorrhagic tendency. Haemorrhagic purpura. Haemorrhagic diathesis. Malignant
infectious diseases, or acute infections (scarlatina, measles, erysipelas,
smallpox, boils, carbuncles, ulcers of the lower leg etc.) become malignant. - Aggravation from heat of sun. Great exhaustion.
- Ovarian remedy. Ophoritis. Salpingitis. Endometritis worse on the left side.
Menopause. Ovarian dysfunction, especially hot flushes. - Extraordinarily rapid change of emotional mood. Ecstasy, a kind of trance-like
state and unaccustomed loquacity. Jumping from one thought to another. Weakness
of memory. Emotional depression. - Kidney disorders with albuminuria and dysuria.
- Skin diseases with exfoliation and haemorrhagic tendency.

387
α-Lipoicum Acidum – Thioctic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from thioctic acid (α-lipoicum acidum), C8H14O2S2,
MW: 206.33.
Thioctic acid (alpha lipoic acid) is an endogenous coenzyme involved in the transformation
of pyruvic acid. It functions as the amide in the oxidized form in the
transfer of the two carbon acetyl fragments that is the result of the decarboxylation
of pyruvate from alpha hydroxyethylthiamin pyrophosphate to acetyl-CoA. It is
present in yeast and liver extracts and is reportedly useful in the treatment of mushroom
poisoning.
A proving of this substance was conducted in the summer and fall of 1993 by
Dr. David Riley.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

Listeriosis Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from sterilized cultures of the bacteria
Listeria monocytogenes (107CFU/g) which cause listeriosis. N.O. Corynebacteriaceae.
Listeria are gram-positive, sporeless bacilli. They cause the widespread zoonosis,
listeriosis, which is found in large anmals (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs) and is characterised
by granulomatous meningoencephalitis. In small animals, (rodents, poultry),
there is septicaemia manifesting in particular organs, e.g. granulomatosis in the liver,
spleen, etc.
Although it is rare for the organism to be transmitted to humans, in adults there
may be a general infection with meningoenephalitis, liver necrosis, or sore throat.
More rarley there may occur local conditions such as granulomatous keratoconjunctivitis,
and in premature babies and neonates a form of septicaemia. Often there
are miscarriages and still-births.
Thus indications are habitual miscarriages as well as the symptoms found in listeriosis,
particularly meningoencephalitis; also in the course of influenza (cerebral influenza),
other infections of a septic nature, throat-infections, keratoconjunctivitis, etc.
389
Lithium Benzoicum – Lithium Benzoate
The attenuations are prepared from Lithium benzoate, C7H5O2Li, MW: 128.1.
The main indications are:
Rheumatism. Gout. Arthroses.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Lithium benzoicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for lithium benzoicum: rheumatism; gout.
Lithium Carbonicum – Lithium Carbonate
The attenuations are prepared from Lithium carbonate Li2CO3, MW: 73.9.
The trituration and liquid potencies prepared from Lithium carbonate have a
prominent action on the motor system, on bones, joints and muscles. Characteristic
symptoms include lassitude, lack of energy and a feeling of weakness, associated
with lameness and stiffness of all the limbs, the lithium salts acting particularly on
gouty and rheumatic illnesses. Gouty complaints in the feet and the sacrum, linked
with anxiety and restlessness, disturb the sleep.
Just as in the joints of the feet, so also in those of the hands and fingers there are
stabbing and throbbing pains; pains also occur in the shoulders, sacrum and loins.
The rheumatic complaints are often also coupled with heart complaints; in many
cases this is caused by the taking of the usual pain-killing tablets, resulting in the unloading
of homotoxins onto the endocardium, signifying a progressive vicariation.
There is characteristic redness and swelling of the toe and finger joints, as in an
acute attack of gout, catarrh often being found in the digestive tract also, with distension,
foetid diarrhoea at night and stabbing pains in the region of the anus and the
perineum. Pressing pains in the bladder with dark-coloured urine possibly containing
significant deposits of mucus are also characteristic of Lithium Carbonicum.
Also typical of Lithium Carbonicum is the occurrence of violent cardiac pain on
bending the trunk and during urination or menses. (Nash)
As a leading symptom, Mezger also mentions the frequent urination with burning
in the urethra, cloudy urine with much mucus and reddish-brown sediment, and also
the amelioration from eating (in head and stomach) and from urination (cardiac
pain).
Stauffer refers additionally to the eye symptoms of Lithium Carbonicum, i.e.
hemianopia from affections of the right-hand side of the retina. He also mentions
that salicylates, such as e.g. Lithium Salicylicum – but also Lithium Benzoicum and
others – and likewise mineral spring water containing Lithium, are more or less typical
remedies for various gouty affections, Lithium Benzoicum being particularly ef-
390
fective for acrid, cloudy urine, and also for subacute rheumatism and tophi, and for
trigeminal neuralgia, if the corresponding urinary conditions are present. Stauffer
also mentions that gouty patients must observe the strictest abstinence from alcohol.
If we now sum up the main symptoms of Lithium Carbonicum, we have the following
typical remedy-picture: - Gouty and rheumatic conditions. Acute attack of gout affecting the small joints of
toes and hands. - Gouty and rheumatic conditions also of the large joints, especially of the hips and
the shoulder girdle, and also of the knee joint. - Heart pains with a gouty or rheumatic basis, worse on bending the trunk, better
from urination. - Tenesmus of the bladder with cloudy, mucous, brown sediment. (Pyelitis with
uric acid stone formation). - General catarrhs of the alimentary canal (and the nose). Foetid diarrhoea at night.
- Dimness of vision. Hemianopia (right side) from retinopathy, with irritation of
the conjunctiva.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Lithium carbonicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for lithium carbonicum: gout; renal diseases associated with increased
uric-acid levels in the blood; rheumatic diseases.
Lithium Muriaticum – Lithium Chloride
The attenuations are prepared from Lithium chloride, LiCl, MW: 42.2.
The main indications are:
Rheumatic and gouty illnesses. Arthroses. Coxalgia.
Lobelia Inflata – Indian Tobacco
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant in flower of Lobelia inflata
L., a common weed growing by the wayside and in fallow fields in Eastern
North America. N.O. Campanulaceae.
The main indications are:
Vertigo and nausea with cold sweat. Vomiting. Hyperemesis gravidarum, aggravated
at night and in the mornings after sleep, ameliorated after eating. Dyspnoea
and bronchial asthma, feeling of weakness in the pit of the stomach. Spasmodic
cough, retching, vomiting, sneezing, eructations and stomach-pain, weakness per-
391
sisting. In asthma, only effective in combination with constitutional remedies (Sulphur,
Carbo Vegetabilis, etc.).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Lobelia inflata, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
lobelia inflata: disorders of the autonomic nervous system, and of the respiratory
centre with hypotension; hay fever; bronchial asthma; morning sickness (during
pregnancy) with vomiting.
Luffa Operculata – Sponge Gourd/Purging Luffa

[L.] Cogn. (= L. purgans Mart.), which is found in Guyana, Brazil and Paraguay.
N.O. Cucurbitaceae.
The main indications are:
Purgative action, diuretic in oedema, cachexia, anaemia. Also in herpes zoster,
amenorrhoea and catarrhs of all kinds. Rhinitis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Luffa operculata, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
luffa operculata: common cold; hay fever; digestive insufficiency.

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh hop stropbiles, poor of seeds, just
before ripeness of the plant, Humulus lupulus L., a native of Eastern Europe. N.O.
Moraceae.
The main indications are:
Diuretic. Sleepiness during the daytime.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Humulus lupulus, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
lupulus: nervousness; insomnia.
392
Lycopersicum – Tomato
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Lycopersicon
lycopersicum [L.] Karst ex Farw., syn.: Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. N.O.
Solanaceae.
The remedy-picture shows a number of characteristic symptoms, such as
headaches, weakness of memory, pains in the eyes with burning and a sensation as if
the eyeballs were drawn together, contraction of the pupils with painfulness of the
area around the eyes and swelling of the eyelids. The symptoms of an acute cold,
such as profuse, watery, fluent coryza which makes the alae nasae sore and drips
down into the throat, also makes the use of Lycopersicum in acute pharyngeal and
nasal catarrhs expedient. There is also a rough voice with hoarseness and continual
clearing of the throat, and possibly a deep, rough cough with constriction of the
chest, shaking the whole body; at night-time it is a short, dry cough preventing sleep.
By way of gastric symptoms there is a thick yellow coating to the tongue with
thirst for large quantities of water and violent eructations of air with burning in the
epigastrium. There are also urinary symptoms, with urging at night, weakness of the
bladder and dribbling of urine in the open air with back-pains in the renal area.
There are also stabbing pains in the right shoulder muscles and the abdominal muscles,
rheumatic pains in the right elbow and wrist, violent pains in the lower limbs,
neuralgias in the right leg and crawling in the right elbow, all of which rounds off the
picture of an acute, painful cold-infection. There is aggravation in the open air and
from continued movement, also from jarring and noise, and amelioration in a warm
room.
Lycopersicum has been used not only in rheumatism, in influenza with pains all
over the body, especially in arm and leg muscles, and in eye problems, but also in
headaches with congestion of blood from the slightest amount of dust, the remedy
being used mostly in combination with other homoeopathic substances.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Lycopersicon lycopersicum,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for lycopersicum: inflammations of the upper respiratory passages;
myalgia; neuralgia.
393
Lycopodium – Club Moss
The attenuations are prepared from the dried ripe spores of Lycopodium clavatum
L. N.O. Lycopodiaceae.
Lycopodium clavatum, club moss, is one of the most important polychrests in homoeopathy.
In the last few years it has been gaining in importance, probably because,
as a specific liver remedy, Lycopodium is able to bring significant relief, and
even cure, in liver damage, liver dysfunctions, and even in serious degenerative
symptoms. This weakness of the liver function runs through the whole remedy.
It must also be borne in mind that a wide variety of symptoms depend on liver
function, or else provide a false outlet for the elimination of homotoxins which, because
of disordered liver function, are not being adequately eliminated otherwise.
These include, e.g., skin diseases such as urticaria or ulcers like boils with a bluish
appearance, or also pityriasis associated with falling out of hair in patches, and
erysipelas, scrofulous skin conditions with moist eczemas, otorrhoea, tonsillitis, inflammations
of the nipples or eyelids, sciatica, haemorrhoids and other intestinal
problems, and particularly flatulence with spastic constipation and violent pains in
the anus obliging the patient to interrupt defaecation. These secondary symptoms are
mostly reaction phases.
This is especially true of right-sided sore throats which will not clear up under
otherwise well indicated remedies, such as Belladonna, Mercurius Iodatus Flavus
and others. In these cases the liver must be treated with Lycopodium, or with a biotherapeutic
remedy which contains it.
An important indication for Lycopodium came to light shortly after the currencyreform,
when cream was once again widely available, and numerous patients believed
that they should undertake so-called cream-treatments to improve their
weight. This, however, obviously placed a considerable strain upon their liver function,
resulting not in an increase in weight, but in a loss of weight with absolute loss
of appetite. In these cases Lycopodium, given by injection, provided a permanent
cure after a few weeks. It should be mentioned that states of this kind did not normally
respond to any medication.
Lycopodium patients are thin, especially in the upper part of the body, whilst the
abdomen and legs are frequently swollen. There may also be ascites. There may be
ulcers on the lower legs as well, exuding serous fluid.
The Lycopodium patient also tends strongly towards states of weakness and exhaustion,
and also to depression, the mental functions slowing down considerably,
especially in old people, in whom the weakness of memory is particularly pronounced.
The children too are weak, with well-formed heads but weak, sickly bodies.
(Nash)
One of the most importants symptoms of Lycopodium is the tendency towards
flatulence, with discharge of odourless wind, which collects particularly in the lower
abdomen and also the left hypochondrium and the sigmoid flexure of the colon (cf.
Lachesis).
394
395
Lycopodium is also said to work well in right-sided inguinal hernia. (Nash)
An important symptom of Lycopodium is red sediment in the urine, often a precursor
of renal colic.
Lycopodium can also be very effective in impotence, especially following masturbation
and sexual deviations, when the libido is not reduced.
One thinks of Lycopodium for nasal catarrh with the nose completely obstructed,
so that the patient has to breathe through the mouth, above all during the night; in
young children, possibly Sambucus.
If cases of pneumonia reach a dangerous stage, especially during the resolution
following the crisis, and the expectoration is difficult to expel, being possibly purulent
and yellow or greenish-yellow and offensive and tasting salty, then Lycopodium
in many cases is the remedy, since all right-sided conditions point to Lycopodium,
and in many cases are attributable to a liver dysfunction. The right-sidedness applies
to all symptoms: right-sided varicose veins, right-sided inguinal hernia, right-sided
tonsillitis, (but left-sided spasms in the hypochondrium, like Lachesis), and the right
foot is cold.
The aggravation of all complaints between 16:00 hours and 20:00 hours must especially
be emphasized, this modality often leading us to Lycopodium in symptoms
which obviously have nothing to do with the liver or the symptomatology of Lycopodium;
nevertheless, they react well if this typical aggravation-time is present.
We may just refer also to a recommendation regarding Lycopodium in ileus and
intussusception. Here Papaver Somniferum may at times be a life-saver, but it can
develop an even better action in combination with Lycopodium or when followed by
Lycopodium.
In such cases, where there is usually a chronic tendency to spastic constipation
and a tendency towards symptoms of ileus, Lycopodium will normally thoroughly
remove not only this tendency towards ileus but also the spastic constipation.
If we summarise the most important symptoms of Lycopodium, the following typical
remedy-picture is the result: - Weakness and exhaustion. Tendency to depression. Greyish-yellow complexion.
Yellowish patches on the skin. Weak muscle development. Weak, sickly children
with well-formed heads. - Uric acid diathesis. Red sand in the urine, (brick-dust sediment.) Tendency to
gravel and renal colic. - Tendency to flatulence, especially in the lower abdomen, with cramping complaints
in the left hypogastrium. Haemorrhoidal complaints. Spasm of the anal
sphincter. Want of appetite. Feels full after the first mouthful. - Right-sided inguinal hernia. Lycopodium is a predominantly right-sided remedy.
Right-sided tonsillitis. Liver problems with jaundice, hepatic enlargement, and
greenish, bitter vomiting. Spastic constipation. Tendency to ileus. - Typical aggravation from 16:00 to 20:00 for all complaints.
- Bronchitis with accumulation of mucus, rales, and dyspnoea, as well as pneumonia
with difficult expulsion of expectoration. Chronic nasal catarrh with obstruction
of the nose and acrid, excoriating discharge. - Moist eczema. Dandruff. Urticaria. Pityriasis versicolor. Erysipelas. Tubercular
skin-diseases. Nipples inflamed, sore and bleeding. - Right foot cold, left foot warm. Varicose veins on the right lower leg.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Lycopodium clavatum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for lycopodium: inflammations of the respiratory organs; general blood
poisoning; sequelae of infectious diseases; inflammations and disorders of the hepatobiliary
system; digestive disorders; metabolic disorders; inflammations of the urinary
organs; nephrolithiasis; varicose veins; various chronic and acute dermal diseases;
paramenia and inflammations of the female reproductive organs; other age-related
illnesses; behavioural disorders; emotional discord or upset.
Lycopus Virginicus – Bugle-Weed
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Lycopus
virginicus L., a native of North America. N.O. Labiatae.
The main indications are:
Heart tonic in thyrotoxicosis. Palpitations.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Lycopus virginicus, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for lycopus virginicus: tachycardia, especially when associated with hyperthyroidism.
396
Magnesium Asparaginicum – Magnesium Aspartate
The attenuations are prepared from Magnesium L-hydrogen aspartate dihydrate, the
magnesium salt of L-aspartic acid C8H12MgN2O8 · 2 H2O, MW: 324.5.
Magnesium salts are indispensible for numerous enzyme functions, e.g. for the
Citric Acid cycle, but also for many intermediate conversions. Since aspartic acid
also has an important part to play as an intermediate conductor, Magnesium aspartate
is required in a wide variety of enzyme functions, such as e.g. the urea cycle,
and also in transamination or as an ammonia donator for urea synthesis. In this,
after deamination, aspartic acid can enter the citrate cycle, unless it is loaded with
amino-groups by the transamination reaction, as is probable for α-ketoglutarate.
Thus Magnesium Asparaginicum is usually not used on its own, but in combination
with other enzyme-active factors.
Magnesium Carbonicum – Basic Magnesium Carbonate
The attenuations are prepared from heavy, basic hydrated Magnesium carbonate,
containing not less than 40%, and not more than 45% of MgO, MW: 40.3.
The main indications are:
Toothache in pregnancy, boring pain at night, must walk about. Dyspepsia. Green
stool, like scum on a frog-pond, sour or hard, crumbling, “the whole child smells
sour.” Arthritis of the shoulder joints. Dryness of the mucosa (eyes, nose, pharynx).
Dry, itching skin.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Magnesium carbonicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for magnesium carbonicum: constitutional remedy for the neuropathic

Magnesium-Manganum Phosphoricum – Magnesium Manganese
Phosphate
The attenuations are prepared from a mixture of equal parts of Magnesium hydrogen
phosphate MgHPO4 · 3 H2O, and Manganese(II)hydrogenphosphate, MnHPO4, MW:
150.9.
The main indications are:
Catalytic action of trace elements, especially in support of the Citric Acid cycle.
See also the intermediate catalysts of the Citric Acid cycle (theoretical references,
scheme of injections).
Magnesium Oroticum – Magnesium Orotate
The attenuations are prepared from Magnesium orotate C10H6MgN4O8 · 2 H2O, MW:
370.5.
Not only Magnesium has important intracellular functions to fulfil, as an important
trace-element factor in enzyme functions, e.g. the Citric Acid cycle, but the
presence of Orotic acid steers the action of the remedy towards intermediate detoxifying
functions, e.g. in the urea cycle, etc.
Thus Magnesium Oroticum has been used – as a trace element enzyme-activator –
in preparations which are designed to re-activate blocked enzymes, e.g. those of the
Citric Acid cycle, and particularly also for various liver enzymes.
Magnesium Phosphoricum – Magnesium Phosphate
The attenuations are prepared from Magnesium hydrogen phosphate trihydrate
MgHPO4 · 3H2O, MW: 174.3.
The triturations and liquid potencies prepared from Magnesium phospate are, according
to Heinigke, “one of our most important pain remedies, none has a greater
multiplicity of pains; they are stabbing, cutting, boring, coming and going like lightning,
spasmodic, often changing position, or in attacks which are almost intolerable.”
There may be sensory illusions and an inability to think clearly, with sleeplessness,
and this may be accompanied by digestive disorders and aversion to food.
Neuralgic or rheumatic pains in the head occur particularly after mental work, and
are associated with shivering. There is a sensation of fluid in the head, “as if the
brain were wobbling” (Heinigke) or as if the patient were wearing a cap on the head.
398
Vertigo on movement of any kind is also susceptible to Magnesium Phosphoricum.
Romberg’s sign, unsteadliness and falling over when the eyes are closed,
seen in tabes dorsalis, can be helped by Magnesium Phosphoricum, if the patient
falls forwards.
The headaches, which are frequently supra-orbital and worse on the right side,
may be accompanied by double vision with dark spots and colour-spectra in front of
the eyes, twitching of the eyelids with photophobia, and possibly squinting and ptosis
of the eyelids. Nervous earaches, especially behind the right ear (mastoiditis), are
also an indication for Magnesium Phosphoricum, especially if they are aggravated in
fresh air, or on washing the face and neck with cold water. The facial pains too, indeed
all the pains, are aggravated when the body becomes cold; the toothache is aggravated
by eating or drinking cold things, and ameliorated by warmth. In epulis
there are often glandular swellings in the throat and neck, especially in teething
problems of children with spasmodic symptoms and fever – likewise an indication
for Magnesium Phosphoricum.
Magnesium Phosphoricum is required in cramping pains, constriction in the neck,
as if tied up, on trying to swallow, and also in torticollis, especially on the right-hand
side, and it can also have a favourable action in cramps in the stomach area with
gasping and retching, especially when there is thirst for cold drinks.
Magnesium Phosphoricum also acts favourably on asthmatic chest-constriction
with a dry, tickling cough which can take on a spasmodic nature, and even on nervous,
spasmodic palpitations and a constricted sensation of the heart, as if tied up (cf.
Cactus Grandiflorus), as well as flatulent colic, abdominal spasms and umbilical
colics, especially if the complaints radiate towards the back (cf. Belladonna), and
also when there is chronic constipation in rheumatic persons, likewise constipation
of children with cramping pains at every attempt to pass a stool.
Magnesium Phosphoricum is also an important remedy in dysmenorrhoea and
when the menses arrive too early, especially when there is swelling and sensitivity of
the vagina and so-called “ovarian neuralgia”.
Magnesium Phosphoricum is indicated in rheumatic pains in the limbs, associated
with weakness in the arms and hands and stiffness and possible numbness in the fingers,
with general muscular weakness, these complaints being aggravated by cold
and ameliorated by warmth, pressure and rubbing.
Magnesium Phosphoricum is also the remedy of choice for Sydenham’s chorea
with contortion of the limbs, for sciatica with vividly shooting, boring pains which
often change their location and are ameliorated by warmth and pressure, being aggravated
by light touch, and for writer’s and pianist’s cramp and cramps in the calves
of the legs.
Boericke also emphasizes its action in whooping cough, in hoarseness, in laryngitis
with a feeling of rawness and roughness, in intercostal neuralgia and in pains
similar to angina pectoris. Where there are spasmodic complaints in the upper abdomen,
they are not relieved by the accompanying eructations (in contrast to Argentum
Nitricum).
399
It is Boericke’s practice to give this remedy in hot water, as it is then said to act
better, the action possibly being complemented with doses of Colocynthis, Silicea,
Zincum, Dioscorea or Kali Phosphoricum.
Nash particularly refers to the fact that burning pains are susceptible to Arsenicum
Album, and not to Magnesium Phosphoricum. However, both remedies have an
amelioration from warmth.
Nash also gives the following characterisation of various painful states (“Leaders”
p. 250 [p. 324 in Jain edition]):
“Now in regard to the cramping pains so characteristic of Magnesium Phosphoricum.
When such a symptom stands out so prominently, it is a great leader, and narrows
down the choice to a class of remedies having the same. Let me illustrate:
Cramping pains: Cuprum, Colocynthis, Magnesium Phosphoricum.
Burning: Arsenicum, Cantharis, Capsicum, Phosphorus, Sulphuricum Acidum,
Sulphur, Carbo Vegetabilis.
Coldness (sensation): Calcium Carbonicum, Arsenicum, Cistus, Heloderma.
Coldness (objective): Camphora, Secale, Veratrum Album, Heloderma.
Fullness (sensation): Aesculus Hippocastanum, China, Lycopodium.
Emptiness (sensation): Cocculus, Phosphorus, Sepia.
Bearing-down: Belladonna, Lilium Tigrinum, Sepia, etc.
Bruised soreness: Arnica, Baptisia, Eupatorium Perfoliatum, Ruta.
Constriction: Cactus Grandiflorus, Colocynthis, Anacardium.
Prostration or Weariness: Gelsemium, Picrinicum Acid, Phosphoricum Acidum,
all Acids, Silicea.
Numbness: Aconitum, Chamomilla, Platinum, Rhus Toxicodendron.
Erratic pains: Lac Caninum, Pulsatilla, Tuberculinum.
Sensitive to pain: Aconitum, Chamomilla, Coffea.
Sensitive to touch: China, Hepar Sulph., Lachesis, Silicea.
Bone pains: Aurum, Asafoetida, Eupatorium Perfoliatum, Mercurius, Silicea.
Sticking/Stitching/Stabbing pains: Bryonia, Kali Carbonicum, Squilla, Apis.
Pulsation or throbbing: Belladonna, Glonoinum, Melilotus.
Haemorrhages (passive): Hamemelis, Secale, Crotalus, Elaps.
Haemorrhages (active): Ferrum Phosphoricum, Ipecacuanha, Phosphorus.
Emaciation: Iodum, Natrum Muriaticum, Lycopodium, Sarsaparilla, etc.
Oedematous states: Calcium Carbonicum, Graphites, Capsicum.
Constitutions (psoric): Sulphur, Psorinum, etc.
Constitutions (sycotic): Thuja, Nitricum Acidum, Medorrhinum, etc.
Constitutions (syphilitic): Mercurius, Kali Iodatum, etc.
Blue swellings: Lachesis, Pulsatilla, Tarantula Cubensis.
So we might go on and indicate from one to three or more remedies having characteristic
power over certain symptoms or conditions, and it is well to have them in
mind, for with this start we will be very apt to have, or seek to find out, the diagnostic
difference between them. Such knowledge forearms a man, preparing him for
emergencies, and often enables the prescriber to make those wonderful “snap-shot
cures” that astonish the patient and all beholders.
400
The holistic view of homoeopathy clearly proceeds from this; for in all these syndromes
Magnesium Phosphoricum as a supporting remedy is able not only to deal
with the cramps but also to smooth the path for the action of the otherwise-mentioned
remedy.
If we summarise the total symptoms of Magnesium Phosphoricum, we have the
following typical remedy-picture: - Cramping, shooting pains along the length of the nerves, and in cramps in a
wide variety of parts of the body, ameliorated by pressure and warmth. - Facial neuralgias with twitching of the eyelids.
- Cramps in the stomach area. Intestinal colic with eructations which do not relieve.
Umbilical colic in children, with drawing-up of the legs, without diarrhoea
symptoms. - Menstrual colic and dysmenorrhoea with neuralgic complaints, relieved by onset
of the flow (cf. Lachesis). - Gall-stone colic. Renal colic. Pains in chronic rheumatism of the joints.
- Whooping cough, especially at night and lying down.
- Sydenham’s chorea with contortion of the limbs.
- Sciatica with boring, shooting pains, changing location, aggravated by light
touch. Writer’s cramp. Cramps in calves. - All complaints worse from cold, at night in bed and from light touch. Ameliorated
by hot compresses, movement, pressure, doubling up, walking about slowly
and damp warmth. - Vertigo on movement, falling forwards. Sensation of fluid in the head. Inability
to think. Supra-orbital pains. Blurred vision. Right-sided mastoiditis. Toothache.
Spastic torticollis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Magnesium phosphoricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for magnesium phosphoricum: neuralgia; painful spasmodic conditions
of the gastrointestinal tract; dysmenorrhoea.

majorana L., a native of the Mediterranean countries and cultivated in many places
as a culinary herb. N.O. Labiatae.
The main indications are:
Nervous irritability. Colic. Flatulence. Mammary tumours in nursing mothers.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Origanum majorana, published
401
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for majorana: sexual hyperexcitability.
DL-Malicum Acidum – Malic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from racemic DL-Malic acid C4H6O5, MW: 134.1.
An active factor in the Citric Acid cycle and in redox systems. Impregnation phases
of all kinds, also asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis, precancerous
states and in neoplasm phases (especially in the early stages), to improve
cell respiration. All kinds of paresis. Has a diuretic action.
Malic Acid should never be given without Fumaric Acid, Malic Acid being one of
the main remedies for general detoxification as well as for oxygenation of glandular
and muscular tissues. It also plays a dominant role in neoplastic processes.
In severe rheumatism it is recommended in combination with muscle and heart
sarcodes: in Angina pectoris, Aorta sarcode should be added. Complementary remedies
and sarcodes/nosodes are: Fumaric Acid, Silica, Echinacea, Diphtherinum,
Apis, Thuja, Hydrastis, plus Heart and all sarcodes of glandular tissue.
Malic Acid is also indicated in pyrexia of unknown origin, in serious infectious
diseases, chronic bronchitis since childhood, chronic sinusitis, tonsillitis, and especially
in asthma and as a supporting remedy in bronchial cancer. Angina pectoris,
myocardial weakness with dyspnoea, tachycardia from metabolic and post-infective
weakness of the myocardium, circulatory collapse and bradycardia in athletes all
call for Malic Acid. Cold hands and feet and cyanosis of the skin are all typical.
In intestinal cancers Malic Acid should always form part of the prescription, as
well as in cancer of the bladder, incontinence of urine and ketonuria. It should also
be used when rheumatic conditions have been treated over a long period of time
with drugs such as salicylates and phenylbutazone.
Further indications for Malic Acid include seborrhoea, chronic dry, scaly eczemas,
psoriasis with violent itching, eczema and fissures in the auditory canal.
Mamma Suis – Mammary Gland
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh mammary gland of a
healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Galactorrhoea. Breast tenderness. Pre-malignant states. Fibroadenomas. Flaccid
and underdeveloped breasts. Ovulation pain. After mastectomy.
402
403
Mandragora – Mandrake

MW: 245.1.
The main indications are:
Pains in the bones at night. Forgetfulness, absent-mindedness. Chronic recurring
pharyngeal, laryngeal and bronchial catarrhs. Rhinitis with green, purulent, bloody
and lumpy discharge. Primary chronic polyarthritis. Multiple sclerosis with muscular

the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for manganum aceticum: inflammation of the upper respiratory passages;
chronic skin diseases; ostealgia; articular pain; anaemia and general weakness;
paralysis.
404
Manganum Gluconicum – Manganese Gluconate
The attenuations are prepared from Manganese(II)-gluconate,
the Manganese(II)salt of D-gluconic acid, C12H22MnO14 · 2 H2O, MW: 481.2.
Manganese salts have a strong enzyme action, e.g. in the Citric Acid cycle, in
which energy in the mitochondria is obtained from glucose. By providing manganese
salts in the form of an organic compound (with gluconic acid) the opportunity
is offered for rapid entry into the cell. Gluconic acid occupies a key position in the
oxidation of glucose via the pentose-phosphate cycle (Warburg-Dickens-Horecker
schema)
Manganese gluconate is not usually given as a single remedy, but in combination
with other enzyme-activating factors.
Manganum Phosphoricum – Manganese Phosphate
The attenuations are prepared from Mangenese(II)-hydrogenphosphate, MnHPO4,
MW: 150.9.
The main indications are:
Spinal cord problems. Spastic spinal paralysis. Multiple sclerosis. Tabes dorsalis.
Aching muscles and states of exhaustion with anaemia. Brain-stem lesions.
The drug picture of Manganum phosphoricum was composed in January 1996 by
David Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.

Mastoiditis Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from pus from an inflamed mastoid
process.
The main indications are:
Retoxic damage to the hearing mechanism. Tendency towards recurrent otitis.
Chronic otitis media with discharge. Osteoporosis. Sudeck’s atrophy. May be tried
in chronic osteomyelitis. Chronic febrile states of all kinds. Chronic neuralgias (in
trigeminal neuralgia with Granuloma Dentis nosode, otherwise with Psorinum or
Gelsemium).
The use of this nosode produces anti-homotoxic results. These may be seen when
the original focus of activity triggers off further conditions, possibly at remote sites,
406
through nerve reflexes (in which case it is best to inject into the scar with Procaine
Hydrochloride 2X). They may also be seen in disorders of hearing, attacks of vertigo,
kinetoses, neuralgias, heart conditions and irritations of the bladder. These may
be connected with the source of the nervous reflexes, caused by similar activity, and
may require the Mastoiditis Nosode as a specifically-acting antihomotoxic.
Mastopathia Cystica Nosode – Nosode of Cyst of Mammary Gland
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from stippled cysts from the breast of
women.
Mammary dysplasia may in some cases be regarded as a pre-cancerous stage. In
that case the nosode may be indicated in various complaints other than in the area of
the female breast, such as dysmenorrhoea, and in referred pains, such as the drawing
pains which may occur in the breasts at ovulation time. It may also be indicated in
neuralgias or emotional changes connected with the secondary sexual characteristics,
or in remote symptoms associated with neural treatment. In such cases the medical
history will offer an indication for the use of the Mastopathia Cystica nosode,
maybe combined in the short term with other antihomotoxics or biotherapeutic
remedies.
Medorrhinum (Gonococcinum) – Nosode of Gonorrhoea
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the purulent urethral secretion of
men suffering from gonorrhoea.
This nosode, prepared from purulent gonorrhoeal discharge, has been proving its
worth for decades. (First published by Hering in 1891).
The picture of Medorrhinum presents several typical symptoms, which make it
well indicated in the hydrogenoid constitution, in sycotic states, in skin diseases (especially
when they alternate with asthma), and in infectious, chronic, protracted illnesses
(impregnation phases). Medorrhinum is also indicated as a constitutional
remedy in vaccinosis, migraines, cancer (according to Julian in alternation with
Thuja, Natrum Sulphuricum and Vaccininum), and especially also in chronic
rheumatism, and in certain characteristic emotional disorders.
The Medorrhinum patient is weak, irritable and suffers from restlessness of the
legs and feet, cannot sit still, is always moving hastily and is very sensitive to
draughts and cold. He feels better when near the sea, especially with regard to his
stiff joints, and a great restlessness torments him especially at night; although he is
sleepy he cannot get to sleep until it is nearly morning.
407
His mood changes from one of the deepest sorrow and premonition of death to
joyfulness. He becomes excited about trifles, complains of neuralgic, rheumatic
headaches, especially in the occiput with heaviness and pressure on the vertex, the
headache being aggravated by coughing. There is also violent itching of the scalp
and severe dandruff.
This violent, incessant itching of the skin is typical, especially on the back and in
the genital area; there may also be coppery red patches, becoming yellow to brown,
and fading to leave clear skin behind, though a strong yellowing of the skin may also
occur. Pedunculated warts occur like little mushrooms on various parts of the body.
Chronic sinusitis with violent itching, or loss of sense of smell and swelling of the
nose with obstruction of the posterior nares may be present. Medorrhinum can also
have a beneficial action on hoarseness, loss of voice, stabbing pains in the lungs and
incessant dry nocturnal cough, especially when there is a tickling underneath the
sternum and painful coughing, as if the larynx would burst, there being copious mucoid
sputum mixed with blood.
Whilst the Medorrhinum patient is better towards the evening, so that he is notably
cheerful at night, (cf. Nux Vomica), all the nervousness returns in the mornings on
waking.
There are also typical heart symptoms after the slightest exertion, with palpitations
and fluttering, with pains radiating out from the heart which are aggravated by the
slightest movement.
In the digestive organs too there is typically a metallic taste in the mouth, worse in
the mornings, and with ulcerative stomatitis and dryness in the mouth, as if it were
burnt, and a thick brown coating of the tongue.
There is a desire for salt, but also for sweet and sour things, with symptoms alternating.
There may also be vomiting of clear mucus and frothy masses similar to coffee-
grounds. There are biliary and liver complaints, dark-coloured stools and diarrhoea,
and likewise lumpy stools and extreme pruritus ani.
Rheumatoid complaints are also typical of Medorrhinum, burning pains the length
of the spine, burning-hot hands and feet (cf. Sulphur and Sanguinaria), and a painful
sensitivity of the heel and sole of the foot, also pains in the left hip and in the sacroiliac
joint, moving from the hips to the thighs. The acute rheumatism is aggravated
on movement, whereas the chronic rheumatism is ameliorated by movement.
Pains of a neuralgic kind may suddenly occur and disappear again just as swiftly.
There may also be deformity and stiffness of the finger-joints and even gonococcal
arthritis.
In the genito-urinary area there may be renal colic with violent tenesmus and possibly
bed-wetting at night, also violent erections at night with burning pains in the
urethra on urination, and heightened libido after the menses, which are offensive and
profuse with dark, congealed blood. There is also a thin, acrid, excoriating vaginal
discharge smelling of fish-brine, left-sided ophoritis, dysmenorrhoea, metrorrhagia,
painful, sensitive breasts and especially genital warts.
408
409
A particularly typical symptom is the tendency to sleep on the abdomen, with the
buttocks in the air and the head buried in the pillow, which is particularly common in
infants.
In addition, extreme forgetfulness is characteristic of Medorrhinum, as indeed it is of
Psorinum also, the forgetfulness being particularly for what has just been heard; this
was pointed out particularly by Julian, (see “Homotoxin Journal” 7, 137–139 [1968]).
If the most important symptoms of Medorrhinum are summarised, the result is the
following typical remedy-picture: - Hasty nature. Restlessness. Excessive nervousness and exhaustion, better at night,
worse in the morning. Sensitivity to draughts. Pessimism. Emotional depression. - Frontal headache with sensation of constriction. Sleeplessness around midnight.
Possible bed-wetting. - Extreme forgetfulness (for recent facts). Patient loses the thread of what he is saying.
- Rhinitis and sinusitis with obstruction of the nose and anosmia. Painful, dry
cough, worse at night. Glottal spasm and asthma, better by the seaside. - Desires stimulants and sweet things, as ice, beer and salt. Cramping stomachpains.
Constipation with stool which will not break off. - Renal colic. Cystitis and urethritis. Leucorrhoea. Genital pruritus. Female breast
marbled and cold as ice, sensitive to touch. - Rheumatic complaints (monoarthritis). Gonococcal arthritis. Deformity of joints
of fingers and hands. Burning heat and pains in hands and soles of feet. Sensitivity
of the heel. Pain in the hips. Neuralgic pains which come and go suddenly. - Damp, greasy, shining skin. Offensive sweat. Pedunculated warts. Pointed and
broad condylomata. Chronic eczemas and skin diseases.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Medorrhinum-Nosode, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for medorrhinum: mucosal inflammations of the urinary and reproductive
organs, the respiratory passages, and the gastrointestinal tract; rheumatism; abnormal
behaviour; premature ageing.

(L.) Pallas without woody stems, collected during the flowering period, which grows
widespread throughout the Northern hemisphere. N.O. Leguminosae.
Nash characterises Melilotus as a remedy of unquestionably great value, all the
provers except one (Dr. Bowen) having had terrible headaches and haemorrhages.
The active ingredients are cumarin, volatile oil, resins and tannins, which bring
about – as in Belladonna and Glonoinum – a characteristic surge of blood with intense
flushing of the face and throbbing of the carotid arteries, associated with
headaches, these complaints being ameliorated by profuse epistaxis.
Nash describes a case of religious mania, which he was able to cure with the 6th
potency. In this case, which in view of the loquacity might otherwise have led one to
think of Stramonium, Melilotus was suggested by the intensely flushed face, the
first cause of these attacks having been overheating in the sun.
Nash also describes the symptom of the blood hanging out of the nose in clots like
an icicle, and says that in these cases of striking congestion of blood in the head, followed
by epistaxis, neither Belladonna nor Erigeron, nor any other remedy will help,
Melilotus being the specific remedy for these cases.
Dewey points out the close relationship between Melilotus and Glonoinum, e.g. in
congestive headaches with the sensation as if the head would burst in the frontal
area, and also in migraine. A combination of Glonoin and Melilotus works well, especially
when there are consequences of sunstroke and overheating in the sun, since
both have these symptoms in their picture.
A. von Fellenberg-Ziegler mentions the amelioration of the headache from vicarious
discharges, not only epistaxis but also menstruation, and also that there can be
pulmonary congestion with blood, ameliorated by haemoptysis; he also mentions
that in violent headaches relief can often be obtained from repeated sniffing of
Melilotus tincture, which has a powerful aroma of cumarin.
Through the whole remedy there runs the symptom of blood-congestion, not only
of the brain, but also of the lungs and rectum, associated with epistaxis, haemoptysis
and bleeding haemorrhoids, when there may also be mental and physical relaxation
and weakness present. A discontented, impatient and angry mood, or even melancholia
with religious mania, imaginary dangers, outbursts of crying, and great despondency
is also characteristic. At night the sleep may alternate with wakefulness
or be interrupted by unpleasant dreams, and a stream of varied thoughts passing
through the mind prevents sleep.
During the violent headaches there is usually also pressure above the orbit. The
hands and feet are cold, and black spots dance in front of the eyes (flickering scotoma).
There is also frequently a wave-like sensation in the brain, and retching and
vomiting may follow, as in a migraine; epistaxis or the onset of the menses then provides
the elimination of homotoxins.
412
In the ear there may be a sensation, especially when swallowing, as if wind were
blowing from the ears.
The nose is often obstructed with hard crusts, so that the patient must breathe
through the mouth and suffers from a feeling of suffocation when walking quickly.
The digestive organs may also be affected with distension of the stomach and sour
eructations, or abdominal distension with constipation and painful, difficult defaecation.
There is also a characteristic sensation of constriction and pulsation in the anus.
In its symptomatology, Melilotus also has a characteristic action on the kidneys
and to some extent opens the glomeruli for a more generous flow of blood. It has not
yet been experimentally clarified whether the congestive increase in blood flow
which runs through the whole symptomatology of the remedy might be due to spastic
contractions of the arterioles. After Melilotus has been given the congestion usually
improves, so that Melilotus can also be of great help in chronic kidney conditions,
e.g. in renal hypertension.
Thus congestive conditions in the female genitalia are also an indication for
Melilotus, in other words scanty, intermittent menstruation with nausea and bearingdown
in the lower abdomen, and also stabbing pains in the external genitalia, ovarian
neuralgias, and dysmenorrhoea.
If we sum up the main symptoms of Melilotus, we have the following characteristic
remedy-picture: - Violent congestion of blood in the brain, lungs and rectum. Headache ameliorated
by epistaxis, haemoptysis and bleeding of haemorrhoids, and by the onset of the
menses. - General mental and physical relaxation and weakness with discontented, impatient
and angry mood; melancholia and religious mania. Lachrymose tendency. - Chronic rhinitis with hard crusts and possible dyspnoea.
- Renal hypertension.

a slowly growing tumour originating in the meninges.
The theraputic indications for this nosode are not only the actual meningioma and
other tumours of the meninges, particularly of the inner membranes, but also of the
dura matter as well as headaches following accidents, and concussion. Epileptiform
attacks may also constitute an indication for this nosode.
Menyanthes – Buck Bean

into flower, of Menyanthes trifoliata L. N.O. Menyanthaceae.
The main indications are:
Neuralgias, relieved by firm bandaging. Nystagmus. Neuralgias of the spermatic
cord.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Menyanthes trifoliata, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for menyanthes: intermittent episodes of fever; headaches; myalgia.
Mercurialis Perennis – Dog’s Mercury
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant, gathered when coming
into flower, of Mercurialis perennis (L.), which is frequently found growing in fairly
damp, shady woodlands in Europe. N.O. Euphorbiaceae.
The active constituents are methylamine, volatile oil, bitter principle, saponin and
flavonol glycoside.
This remedy embraces exhaustion, tiredness and sluggishness, as well as a general
indisposition, with pulsating, twitching and stitching sensations in a wide variety
of regions of the body. There is also restless sleep with drowsiness during the day,
414
melancholia, irritability and a violent manner, as well as itching, prickling and pustules
on the face and on the skin generally.
The symptoms of colds and catarrh are evident in stabbing, tearing headaches
with a feeling of tension, a flushed, hot face, red-rimmed eyes and conjunctival irritation
with lachrymation, photophobia and seeing as if through a gauze. Stabbing
and tearing pains in the auditory canal, and itching, crawling and burning in the
nose followed by coryza. Likewise there is a dry cough, difficult respiration, palpitations,
and hot flushes with thirst, hot palms and soles.
There may also be inflammatory conditions with a feeling of great dryness in the
oral mucosa, heat and burning, the tongue having a white, mucous coating; quantities
of mucus accumulate on the palate and there are difficulties in swallowing.
The taste is abnormally bitter or sour. There may also be heartburn, eructations and
nausea, with stomach pains, sensation of pressure and susceptibility to cold, cutting
pains in the intestines with growling and rumbling, and frequent discharge of flatus.
There may also be frequent urging for urination with only small quantities passed,
strangury and burning in the urethra, as well as crawling in the prepuce, whilst in the
female sex the menses are of short duration, but in the pelvic organs cramping complaints
set in (regressive effect).
Mercurialis Perennis is used in rheumatic illnesses of an acute or chronic nature,
especially when the pericardium or endocardium is involved, or when influenzal
states are present, with “gastric flu” and bladder-complaints. Headaches are mostly
associated with disturbances of vision or with melancholic and hypochondriacal
moods.
Whilst Mercurialis Perennis has a typical therapeutic scope, in practice it has not
come into such prominence as the great polychrests, and is mostly employed only as
a supporting remedy in combination with others.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Mercurialis perennis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal

Mercurius Solubilis Hahnemanni – Hahnemann’s Soluble Mercury
The attenuations are prepared from mixture consisting essentially of mercury(II)-
amidonitrate and metallic mercury.
Of the great range of various Mercury preparations, produced both from native
quicksilver (Mercurius Vivus) and from its salts, the one which has earned itself a
special reputation is Mercurius Solubilis Hahnemanni, although others are in use,
such as Mercurius Cyanatus, e.g. in throat conditions and diphtheria, Mercurius Biiodatus
in mucosal conditions, and Mercurius Sublimatus Corrosivus and Mercurius
Praecipitatus Ruber in conditions of the periosteum and bones.
All Mercury preparations have a certain common symptomatology, e.g. the aggravation
at night, foetid mouth-odour, glandular swellings, sensitivity to cold air,
tongue coated and taking imprints of the teeth, and copious sweat, which is found to
a particularly marked extent in Mercurius Solubilis.
In particular the swollen, flaccid tongue, showing imprints of the teeth (cf. Chelidonium,
Podophyllum, Arsenicum and Rhus Toxicodendron), may be found with almost
unfailing regularity in febrile illnesses. The Mercurius tongue is moist, with violent
thirst, and in many cases there is salivation which can be viscous, like soft
soap, and there is a repulsive mouth odour which infests the whole sick-room. However,
it is not necessary for there to be any illness of the mouth present, such as
stomatitis or gingivitis, or of the throat, such as tonsillitis, or either a sinus condition
or a disease of the liver or gall-bladder. The state of the tongue or the mouth odour
may be present or suggested in such conditions as hydronephrosis, for which Mercurius
Solubilis is likewise an important remedy. Usually the characteristic sweats of
Mercurius Solubilis are also present, which are copious and do not relieve.
The main indication for Mercury preparations of any kind, but especially for Mercurius
Solubilis, is suppuration, particularly abscesses, boils, impetigo, moist and
suppurating eczemas, carbuncles, inflamed swellings, pyuria, empyema, sinusitis
with purulent discharge, purulent otitis media, bronchitis with tendency to yellowish,
purulent expectoration, and influenza with severe fluent coryza and purulent secretion.
Also an indication for Mercurius Solubilis are acute inflammatory conditions
of the mucosa, such as dysentery with mucous, bloody stools, cutting pains and
tenesmus, the latter also being an indication for Mercurius Sublimatus Corrosivus.
Mercurius Solubilis is also indicated for styes and Meibomian cysts, if there is a
strong sensitivity to touch and photophobia, likewise an aggravation at night and
from warmth. Here it is best prescribed in alternation with Hepar Sulphuris.
Serious eye conditions such as scleritis with atrophy and possibly also glaucoma,
react especially well to Mercurius Solubilis. Further indications include appendicitis,
bleeding haemorrhoids with inflammatory symptoms, liver conditions with
foetid mouth odour, imprints of the teeth on the yellow-coated tongue and a tendency
to empyema of the gall-bladder. Also cystitis with mucous urine, gonorrhoea and
consequences of gonorrhoea with violent inflammatory symptoms, orchitis, epididymitis,
ophoritis, salpingitis, whitlow, and especially eczemas, both chronic and
acute and those of a scrofulous kind.
It should also be borne in mind that Mercurius Solubilis can be a good remedy for
disorder of brain function. Pink disease is well-known. Thus Mercurius will influence
slow, awkward speech as well as the familiar mercurial tremor with trembling
of the tongue (Hatter’s shakes). Mercurius Solubilis will also have a beneficial effect
on rheumatism of the joints, and muscular rheumatism with night sweats and red-
418
419
ness of the joints, as well as on measles with violent fluent coryza, eye inflammations
and diarrhoea.
A particularly important modality is the aggravation at night and from the warmth
of the bed, which applies not only to suppurations but also to a wide variety of skin
diseases.
Mercurius was formerly regarded as one of the most important preparations in the
treatment of syphilis. With the recent availability of the abortive treatment with
mega-doses of penicillin, this has receded into the background. In spite of this, it is
recommended to supplement treatment of syphilitic conditions with Mercurius Solubilis;
in secondary and tertiary syphilis, however, mercury preparations are particularly
recommended (with or before penicillin treatment).
Apart from Mercurius Solubilis, Mercurius Cyanatus is also frequently used, particularly
in diphtheritic conditions; likewise Mercurius Iodatus Flavus, which is
characterised by a thick yellow coating at the base of the tongue, which is also often
found in liver diseases as well as in diphtheria.
Mercurius Sublimatus Corrosivus, the sublimate, is particularly effective in diseases
of the mucosa and skin, and also especially in dysentery with violent intestinal
tenesmus. Mercurius Sublimatus Corrosivus is also the remedy of preference in
gonorrhoeal sequelae, especially a thin, greenish discharge, and also in discharging
fistulas of every kind.
The beneficial action of Mercurius Praecipitatus Ruber on bone conditions and on
periosteal affections, such as exostoses, including those of the heel, should also be
mentioned and also where cerebral abscess or arachnoiditis is suspected.
Note should also be made of the tendency, peculiar to the mercury preparations,
towards shivering, which is found in incipient influenza and infectious diseases, as
well as in the early stages of suppurations such as tonsillitis and tonsillar abscess,
and possibly also in whitlows etc. This symptom is just as typical of Mercurius as
are the sweats which do not relieve and the aggravation from warmth of the bed.
Also in use is Mercurius Biiodatus, which is recommended (like Kalmia) in
syphilitic iritis, and also in chronic suppurations of the middle ear and in chronic
nasal catarrh, in psoriasis, acne rosacea and chronic eczemas with significant hyperkeratosis.
Further Mercury preparations which may be mentioned are Mercurius Dulcis
(Calomel), recommended in otitis media, liver and gall-stone problems and in massive
occurrences of ascarides; and also Cinnabaris (Mercurius Sulphuratus Ruber).
Cinnabaris has a special reputation in post-syphilitic conditions and is recommended
in corneal affections, syphilitic iritis and in ulcerative destruction of the
nasal septum, chronic blepharitis, ulcer of the lower leg and sycosis barbae.
Mercurius Nitrosus is particularly suited as a skin and eye remedy, e.g. in tubercular
conjunctivitis and keratitis, also in blepharitis with stabbing pains and sore edges
of the eyelids, and also in stubborn condylomata.
If we sum up the most essential symptoms of Mercurius, the following characteristics
emerge:
420 - Tendency towards suppurations of all kinds. Tonsillitis. Sinusitis. Appendicitis.
Empyema thoracis. Suppuration of the bones. Osteomyelitis. Periosteal affections.
Scleritis. Iritis. Conjunctivitis. Ulcer of the lower leg. Hydronephrosis, cystitis,
pyelitis. Otitis media. Acne vulgaris. - Aggravation of all complaints at night, especially from warmth of the bed. Copious
sweats which do not give relief. - Tongue has a thick mucous or yellowish coating, showing the imprint of the teeth,
with severe thirst. Glandular swellings. Foetid mouth-odour. - Sensitivity to cold air.
- All reaction phases, which extend, and in which Belladonna, initially indicated,
does not act sufficiently, or there is a tendency towards suppurations or superficial
inflammations of the mucosa.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Mercurius solubilis Hahnemanni,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for mercurius solubilis Hahnemanni: mucosal inflammations of
the respiratory passages, the gastrointestinal tract, and the urinary and reproductive
organs; skin diseases; inflammations of the tonsils, lymph glands, liver, and kidneys;
inflammations of other glandular organs; ostealgia and rheumatism; enervating
diseases; cerebral angiosclerosis.

Characteristic mercurial action in tonsillitis, affections of the mucosa, salivation,
dysentery, acute glomerulonephritis with albuminuria, haematuria, tenesmus, fluent
coryza, liver problems, cholangitis, keratitis, iritis(!), gingivitis, gonorrhoea, primary
syphilis (with antibiotics). Influenza, leucorrhoea of little girls. Offensive nightsweats.
Shivering, trembling of the limbs, brain symptoms, fear, restlessness,
erethism. Unquenchable thirst.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Hydrargyrum bichloratum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for mercurius sublimatus corrosivus: highly acute inflammations of the
mucosae of the eyes, the oral cavity, the tonsils, the large intestine, the rectum, the
kidneys, the urinary tract collection system, and the vagina.
421
Methylenum Caeruleum – Methylene Blue
The attenuations are prepared from Methylene-blue, C16H18ClN3S · 3 H2O, MW:
319.9.
It is a redox dye and also changes to the colourless (reduced) stage. Also, it is only
by means of methylene blue that the dehydrogenation of succinic acid may be
achieved through the widespread succinodehydrogenation of fumaric acid. Thus
Methylene Blue is indicated in numerous cellular phases, and also in neoplasm
phases, as an aid to respiration.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Methylenum caeruleum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for methylene blue: inflammations of the urinary tract.
Methylglyoxal
The attenuations are prepared from a solution of methylglyoxal, C3H4O2, MW: 72.1.
It is produced in small quantities during metabolic processes (Karrer), possesses a
carbonyl group and an aldehyde group and is therefore ideally suited for transfer of
hydrogen and catabolism of toxic amino-groups from azomethin compounds. Indicated
in cellular phases, and particularly in degeneration and neoplasm phases.
The drug picture of Methylglyoxal was composed in September 1997 by David
Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

423
Mezereum – Spurge Olive
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh bark, gathered before the plant flowers,
of Daphne mezereum L., which grows in woodlands on the lower mountains of
Europe and Northern Asia. N.O. Thymelaeaceae.
The tincture prepared from Daphne Mezereum is used not only in skin diseases
such as eczematous eruptions, and inflammations of eyes and ears, but also in inflammtory
conditions of the mucosa and of the respiratory, digestive and urinary organs,
especially if there are vesicles and ulcers with slight bleeding; it is also used in
epidemics of influenza and whooping cough, rheumatic conditions, inflammations
of the periosteum, leucorrhoea, affections of the lymph nodes and ranula. Particularly
herpes zoster and vesicular eruptions with unbearable itching, the vesicles drying
into thick, elevated scales from beneath which acrid pus runs out, constitute a characteristic
indication for Mezereum.
Febrile symptoms are usually absent or only slight, although the patient may feel
generally unwell, with shivering and exhaustion.
Apart from skin and mucosal affections, above all the mesenchymal tissues are involved,
particularly in the course of inflammations of the joints and especially the
synovial membranes of the shoulder, elbow, hand, hip, knee and foot joints. There is
also a tendency towards irritative conditions of the muscular fascia, nerve-sheaths,
ligaments and the periosteum at places where there is no muscle, so that periosteal
pains in the shin-bone, elbow, lower jaw, top of the skull and hard palate constitute
typical indications for Mezereum, especially when there is thickening of the tissue.
These complaints usually occur with greater strength at night and in the warmth of
the bed, just as they are aggravated during the evening and in contact with cool air.
The patients may also be in a depressed mood, may show certain signs of apathy and
irritation or else melancholy weeping.
There may also be spasmodic twitching of the upper eyelid, or drawing, pressing
pains in the eyes and eyelids, which are aggravated by light and associated with
weakness of vision, neuralgic pains extending along the nerves in the trunk and
limbs with lameness, weakness and spasmodic twitching.
Mezereum can also be a good remedy for severe fluent coryza, when there is discharge
of copious runny or thick mucus streaked with blood, and possibly also catarrhal
inflammations of the larynx and bronchi with pain and a tickling sensation,
hoarseness and a dry cough, possibly associated with retching and vomiting (pertussis).
The lips may be inflamed and swollen, as may the mucosa of tongue and gums,
extending back to the oesophagus, with the formation of small vesicles. There is
salivation as in Mercurius, and the inflammation may progress as far as the stomach
and intestines, with cutting abdominal pains, borborygmi, thick, pappy stools with
tenesmus and burning pains in the anus. Acute cystitis is also typical of Mezereum,
with dysuria and mucous discharge, and possibly a few drops of blood being passed
after urination; so are a vaginal discharge like egg-white, balanitis, and neuralgias of
the spermatic cord and testicles. Thus altogether, Mezereum offers a picture which
corresponds to Reiter’s syndrome: conjunctivitis, enteritis, urethritis.
Dewey particularly emphasizes herpetic eruptions with thick, elevated scales,
acrid pus being exuded beneath them with characteristic scabs and itching, whilst
the neuralgic symptoms of Mezereum are chiefly characterised by neuralgia of the
cheek-bones with a sensation of numbness and neuralgic pains along the length of
an eruption as in herpes zoster, and by ciliary neuralgia.
Nash has had good experiences with Mezereum in pains of the long bones, especially
the tibia, and also in facial neuralgia, an amelioration of the complaints being
achieved by holding the painful side near to a hot stove; hot compresses or cloths
bringing no relief.
Fellenberg-Ziegler also mentions deep ulcers with glandular swellings, and also
the gnawing, boring pains which occur in apical periodontitis in badly decayed
teeth, extending over the whole side of the face, a sensation of lengthening of the
teeth being typical.
The discharges of Mezereum are frequently bloody and excoriating (from the
nose, vagina, and urethra).
If we sum up the symptoms of Mezereum, the following typical remedy-picture
emerges: - Herpes zoster and herpetic eruptions with formation of vesicles and pustules with
elevated scales and desquamation. Ulceration with swelling of the local lymph
glands. - Dry and moist skin eruptions, also on the scalp and behind the ears. Conjunctivitis.
- Stomatitis with vesicles. Laryngitis and whooping cough, also acute gastroenteritis
with spasmodic pains and tenesmus. - Ciliary neuralgia, rheumatism in various joints, and other neuralgias, also in the
course of herpes zoster. - Periostitis with nocturnal bone pains and sensitivity to touch (skull, tibia, etc.).
- Urethritis. Balanitis. Vaginal discharge. Reiter’s disease.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Daphne mezereum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for mezereum: inflammations of the respiratory passages; digestive disorders;
pruritic skin irritations and skin suppuration; neuralgia; ostealgia; other conditions
of pain.

wood”. N.O. Olacaceae.
The main indications are:
Aphrodisiac. Stimulates appetite and digestion. Tonifying action on the central
nervous system.
Muriaticum Acidum – Hydrochloric Acid
The attenuations are prepared from diluted Hydrochloric acid, HCl, MW: 36.5.
The main action of potentised Hydrochloric acid is on typhoid conditions, especially
those of a septic kind, in which the patient slides down in the bed owing to
great weakness, the lower jaw hangs down, and the tongue is dry, leathery and shrivelled,
maybe with deep ulceration, bluish-red edges or aphthous ulcers; there is a
dirty coating on the teeth, the breath is offensive, and there is a swelling of the gums
and local lymphatic nodes. The uvula may also be swollen with ulceration and membranes,
so that attempts to swallow give rise to spasms and attacks of choking, resulting
in a state of extreme prostration, in which, without realising it, the patient
may pass urine, and urination may be accompanied by involuntary defaecation (after
radiotherapy).
In such serious typhoid conditions the pulse is frequently weak, small and rapid
and misses every third beat (cf. Kali Carb.).
The patient is markedly aggravated by lying on the right side, before midnight and
in damp weather, whereas lying on the left side ameliorates.
There is a typical aversion to meat with periodically ravenous hunger and a continual
craving for drink, with abdominal rumbling owing to fermentation of food.
Rectal problems are also typical, on the one hand characterised by involuntary defaecation
on urination, and on the other hand by haemorrhoids which are so sensitive
to touch that even the use of toilet paper is painful. Pruritus ani may occur, with anal
prolapse on urination. Haemorrhoids in pregnancy are also characteristic, bluish in
colour, hot and with violent stabbing pains.
In spite of incontinence of urine, the patient must wait a long time for the urine to
arrive, accompanied by simultaneous involuntary defaecation. Impotence may also
be present in men.
There are rheumatic cutting and drawing pains in the limbs, better for movement
(cf. Rhus tox.) and worse at rest. Toothache in incipient caries is much worse from
cold drinks.
428
429
The patient is easily provoked, more irritable than usual, with a tendency to anger,
or also to gloom and melancholy with general apathy and discontent.
The characteristic skin symptoms of Muriatic Acid include burning with itching in
a wide variety of places, especially the scrotum, barely relieved by scratching and
giving rise to the eruption of vesicles and the formation of scabs with small painful
nodules and pustules and consequent suppuration with burning and itching. Ulcers
may form, with offensive discharge and looking like burns, especially on the lower
leg. There is a typical eczema on the surface of the hand.
A characteristic of Muriatic Acid is also the general sensitivity to the slightest
touch, especially in haemorrhoids and on the genitalia.
The total picture of Muriatic Acid does not always need to be present. Even when
few of the typical symptoms, or even only rudimentary ones are present, the use of
this important polychrest is justified. In the most serious cases it must be repeated, in
order to guarantee success.
If we summarise the principal symptoms of Muriatic Acid, the typical picture
which emerges is as follows: - Typhoid conditions with a dry, leathery, shrivelled tongue, aphthous stomatitis,
septic diarrhoea, maybe with the passing of clear dark blood. Sliding down in
bed, dropping of the lower jaw. Dirty coating on the teeth. - Haemorrhoids, swollen, blue and exceedingly sensitive to touch, even of bedclothes.
Rectal prolapse, even on urination. “Cooing” sounds and rumbling in the
abdomen. Pruritus ani. Haemorrhoids, bluish-red and hot, bleeding, in pregnancy. - Difficulty in urination with simultaneous involuntary defaecation.
- Rapid, weak, small pulse, missing every third beat.
- Drawing rheumatic pains, especially in the Achilles’ tendon, worse on first motion,
better for continued motion. - Very itchy papular and vesicular eruptions. Carbuncle. Foul-smelling ulcers of the
lower leg. Eczema on the back of the hand. Prostration. Epistaxis. - Irritable and peevish mood or taciturn gloominess. “Suffering in silence.”
- Aggravation in damp weather and before midnight, also when lying on the right
side. Amelioration when lying on the left side.
What follows is Nash’s description of Muriatic Acid therapy (including the use of
Sac.Lac. placebos), as the physician should give it in serious septic illnesses:
“Of course the friends are anxious, even desperate, and a show of work must be
made. If much pressure is brought to bear in the way of suggestions or demands for
counsel, all sorts of wonderful prescriptions that cured a great many cases like this,
let Sac.Lac. be given every five minutes. It is a wonderfully quieting medicine (to
friends and meddlers) and should never be omitted. Send the most rampant howler
off on horseback miles away, if you can, for something, no matter what. That is indispensible
to the patient’s recovery. The greatest danger to the patient is that the
physician, losing his presence of mind, will suffer himself to be led or driven away
from the only true helpful course. This advice is given only to those who need it.
Many a patient has died because his physician ‘lost his head’ under this kind of
pressure.”
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum hydrochloricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for acidum muriaticum: general weakness and debilitation; loss of appetite;
haemorrhoids; mucosal ulceration; haemorrhagic diathesis.

Myosotis Arvensis – Forget-me-not
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh plant in flower of Myosotis arvensis
[L.] Hill., which grows in fields, by the wayside and in meadows. N.O. Boraginaceae.
The main indications are:
Myosotis acts particularly on the respiratory organs and the lungs, and is especially
indicated in juvenile pulmonary tuberculosis. Characteristic symptoms include a
cough with profuse muco-purulent expectoration, retching and vomiting while
coughing, aggravation taking place during meals or immediately afterwards. There
are pains in the lower lung. Percussion is unpleasant because of sensitivity in chronic
bronchial catarrh and lung conditions. Copious sweating by day and by night is
also typical.
Myosotis is almost never given as a single remedy, but is incorporated in suitable
combination-remedies, to strengthen their action with particular reference to the
lungs.
A proving of this substance was conducted in the spring of 1994 by Dr. David
Riley.

433
434
Nadidum – Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
The attenuations are prepared from nadide, disphosphopyridine nucleotide (DPN),
NAD, C21H27N7O14P2, MW: 663.4.
In particular the hydrogen-transferring enzymes of fermentation and of glycolysis,
and of numerous other activities, contain dinucleotides as an active group; one of
their bases is nicotinic acid amide, a derivative of pyridine. As they contain two or
three phosphoric acid groups per molecule, they are also known as diphosphopyridine
nucleotides (abbreviated to DPN) and triphosphopyridine nucleotides (TPN).
The most important function of Nadid is that of a reservoir for hydrogen, which is
passed on in the respiratory chain by a logical arrangement of enzymes, on the basis
of the redox-potential of the prosthetic groups. Hydrogen is passed on by the reduced
pyridine nucleotide to the flavoproteins, which for their part are reoxygenated
by cytochrome, the hydrogen being ionised. In the valency-change of iron, only the
electrons are transferred, the transfer to oxygen being carried out in the final stage
by cytochrome oxidase.
The energy of oxidation which is released at each stage of the respiratory chain is
captured as chemical energy and stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate),
which is described as oxidative phosphorylation and takes place in the mitochondria
of the cell. Thus it becomes clear that Nadid has important intermediate functions to
fulfil, as a guarantor of these important conversions, particularly in cell respiration.
Thus Nadid is indicated in impregnation and degeneration phases.
Nadid is also coupled with auxiliary active factors, and included in combination
remedies for the activation or boosting of certain functions according to E. Bürgi’s
theory.
The drug picture of Nadidum was composed in November 1993 by David Riley,
M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:

form during a filiform fungal infection of the nails (Tinea ungium).
Indications as for Nail Mycosis Nosode.
Naja Tripudians – Cobra

Weakness of the heart. Threatened collapse with thready, rapid pulse; dyspnoea,
must sit upright in bed. Desire for warmth, with cold extremities. Oedema of the
eyelids. Dry, tickling cough. Cholera with collapse.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Naja naja, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
naja tripudians: spasmodic conditions of the oesophagus and the respiratory passages;
cardiac disorders; emotional discord or upset.
436
Naphthalinum
The attenuations are prepared from Naphthaline C10H8, MW: 128.2.
The main indications are:
Corneal opacities. Glaucoma. Asthma with spasmodic cough and dry catarrh. Urethritis
with redness of the urethral meatus. Emphysema in old people. Whooping
cough.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Naphthalinum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
naphthalin: inflammations of the respiratory passages; inflammations of the urinary
tract collection system, various age-related diseases of the eyes.
Naphthoquinone
The attenuations are prepared from 1,4-Dioxo-1,4-dihydro-naphthaline, C10H6O2,
MW: 158.6.
As a quinone derivate, Naphthoquinone has carbonyl group functions, and thus,
according to W. F. Koch (USA) is able to metabolise toxic amino-groups from
azomethine compounds. It should be used in all cellular phases, viral diseases, and
also in toxic infections (reaction phases), and particularly in neoplasm phases.
The area of indication for Naphthoquinone is smaller than that of other quinones.
However, its penetration is considerably greater and there is scarcely another remedy
to take its place.
In particular, serious forms of carcinoma in the areas of the intestines and genitalia
are the main indications, especially when radiotherapy follows surgical removal of
the carcinoma, and particularly in carcinoma of the uterus and the prostate. With
Naphthoquinone, freedom from pain can then be achieved.
As well as in rapidly growing brain tumours (occurring without any particular preceding
symptoms), Naphthoquinone is also indicated in epilepsy with a brief aura, in
traumatic epilepsy and in shock following serious head injury.
Naphthoquinone is also indicated in threatened vaccinial encephalitis. Other indications
are diseases of the air passages, commencing with very severe sinusitis and
usually associated with intestinal sluggishness, laryngeal cancer with very hard
nodes, lung cancer and also particularly bronchial asthma with chronic catarrh, in
smokers also. Naphthoquinone is also required in degeneration of the oesophagus,
the salivary glands, or in cancer of the oral cavity.
Naphthoquinone patients like highly seasoned food, and add extra salt. They have
a typically grumpy, peevish mood. The patients either gradually lose more and more
weight, in spite of eating well, or there is obesity with a pale, yellowish, sallow skin.
437
Not only is Naphthoquinone indicated in stomach cancer with complete emaciation,
but also in infantile gastritis after artificial feeding with disorders of intestinal
evacuation. Naphthoquinone is also required in degenerative kidney diseases, chronic
nephritis with albumen excretion and increasing residual nitrogen, cancer of the
bladder with agonising pain and suppurating inflammations of the renal pelvis, kidney
damage following scarlet fever, influenza and rheumatism of the joints, and renal
hypertension; it may be required in combination with quinhydrone and benzoquinone.
In spite of the bad general state of health and the cancer, the libido is good. The
emotional mood vacillates between religious mania, apathy and complete indifference
towards all relations, and a peevish nature to the point of schizophrenic manifestations,
even in puberty. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis and neuralgic pain suggest
Naphthoquinone, especially if there is almost complete intestinal atony. The
paralyses arising from poliomyelitis may possibly be reversed if the muscular atrophy
has not progressed too far, ongoing exercises being necessary, and Naphthoquinone
should also be tried in post-apoplectic paralysis (otherwise use Gelsemium,
Causticum, Arnica etc.).
Aortic stenosis and the status following abuse of digitalis also point to Naphthoquinone,
as does a lowering of the blood pressure during sleep. The heart complaints
are dependent on the activity of the intestines, and chronic congestion of the liver
with bradycardia may be present.
The shortage of oxygen in the tissues is expressed as cyanosis of the lips, conjunctiva
and nails, and in severe cases of cancer, lymphatic congestion may also be
present. The deficient adrenalin function is suited to the cachectic patient, whose
whole vital activity is exclusively directed to the rapidly multiplying cancer cells.
In such cases as these, Naphthoquinone should at least be given one more try, in
order to achieve a change.
Since Naphthoquinone has particular affinities for the tonsils and the appendix,
i.e. for the secondary defences of the lymphatic mechanism, it should also be used
after tonsillectomy or appendectomy, and also in adenoma of the pancreas
and adrenals, in myxoedema, and in chronic states of spasm because of hypoparathyroidism.
In all these cases a leading symptom is a certain apathy on the part of the patient,
the practitioner being given the impression that the patient is entirely uninterested as
to whether any efforts are made on his behalf or not. Although he maintains that
nothing is wrong with him, it then transpires that he has had problems for decades
with his defaecation, with the consequent secondary toxic effects.
There is no doubt that Naphthoquinone is often indicated in therapy. The quinones
take hold of the respiratory enzymes and regulate the oxidation, as do the catalysts
of the Citric Acid cycle, so it seems understandable if all the Citric Acid cycle catalysts
and quinones show disorders of internal respiration, asthmatic complaints to a
greater or lesser degree and damage to the oxidation enzymes in their symptomatology.
Alongside para-Benzoquinone and Quinhydrone, Naphthoquinone must be
brought clearly into focus as a most important therapeutic agent.

Gazette) for nasturtium aquaticum: conditions of irritation of the urinary tract collection
system.
Natrum Bromatum – Sodium Bromide
The attenuations are prepared from Sodium bromide, NaBr, MW: 102.9.
Whereas the bromides occupied a favoured position among the sedatives and as
cough remedies many decades ago, reducing the excitability of the brain cells, in homoeopathic
prescribing the bromides, especially Natrum Bromatum, are used according
to the Reversal effect or Hahnemann’s Law of Similars.
The author was made frighteningly aware of what damage can be wrought even by
such apparently harmless, mild drugs as bromides when, in the thirties and in the
early years of his medical practice, he was the family doctor of a Berlin civil servant’s
family, and was introduced to a boy of about 20 who in early childhood had
suffered from whooping cough and had been treated with high doses of bromides.
It was a situation which left a deep impression. In the little nursery bedroom, in a
child’s bed, a handsome youth’s head looked up at the author, strangely agitated,
from large, dark eyes. The author spoke to him, but received no reply. When the author
pulled back the bed-covers to examine him, he saw a large, handsome young
man’s head attached to child’s body. Externally the head had developed normally;
however, the general physical development was retarded, corresponding roughly to
that of a 10-year-old. The mental development was completely retarded. The lad
could not talk, he could only communicate with his parents by sign language: a
ghastly fate for both the patient and his family.
We use Natrum Bromatum in potency for signs of bromism, in mental sluggishness,
lack of will-power, in vertigo, when the ground seems to sway beneath the feet,
and also – as in the case of the 20-year-old retarded patient – when pallor of the face
is a striking symptom. However, Natrum Bromatum can also act in salivation, salty
taste (like bromium), in anaesthesia in the throat, and also in hysterical conditions
with the typical anaesthesia, as well as in cases of rapid, small pulse and in morbid
441
lethargy. On the other hand, it can also, in its homoeopathic form, compensate for
the effects of other sleep-inducing agents, including herbal preparations such as Valeriana,
hops etc. Menorrhagia during the menopause is also an indication. Natrum
Bromatum is used almost exclusively in combination-remedies.
Natrum Carbonicum – Sodium Carbonate
The attenuations are prepared from desiccated Sodium carbonate-monohydrate,
Na2CO3 · H2O, MW: 124.0.
The main indications are:
Sensitive to warmth, thunderstorms, rest. Ameliorated by movement. Headache in
the sun, or after school. Milk causes diarrhoea. Morning sickness. Joints give way.
Ulcers on the heel. Leucorrhoea and nasal catarrh with thick mucus. Tendency to
catch cold. Wary of going into the fresh air.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium carbonicum H2O, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for natrium carbonicum: chronic inflammations of the respiratory passages;
abnormal discharges; digestive insufficiency; conditions of physical and mental
weakness; emotional discord or upset.
Natrum Molybdaenicum – Sodium Molybdate
The attenuations are prepared from Sodium molybdate-dihydrate, Na2MoO4 · 2H2O,
MW: 242.0.
With the increasing shortage in plants and exhausted soil, Molybdenum has been
recognised as an important trace element and co-factor in enzyme-functions. It is
found in xanthine oxidase (in the liver and milk), which contains iron, apart from
molybdenum, as an active factor.
Natrum Molybdaenicum is indicated for long-term treatment of neoplasms, since
here there is normally a lowered molybdenum level, which may also be of causal
significance.
Nitrate reductase, a flavoprotein enzyme, also contains molybdenum in a complex
compound. It is found in numerous bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Clostridium
Welchii, and in fungi (neurospora, aspergillus), and can reduce a nitrate to a nitrite,
whilst azobacteria are able to build up gaseous nitrogen from the air into nitrogen
compounds in the presence of the smallest quantities of molybdenum.
Thus it is possible that small doses of molybdenum are able to counteract dysbacterial
action, particularly in view of the combination with sulphur.
442
Natrum Muriaticum – Sodium Chloride
The attenuations are prepared from Sodium chloride, NaCl, MW: 58.4.
No other homoeopathic remedy stands so squarely in the focus of doubt as to the
effectiveness of homoeopathy as does Natrum Muriaticum, cooking salt.
After all, it is known that fluids within the body’s tissues as well as blood contain
sodium ions in considerable concentration. If in spite of this homoeopathic doses of
Natrum Muriaticum act – and such action has been reported by conscientious and
objective physicians from their observations over many decades and is also familiar
to the author, especially in the high potencies, – then from this action at the same
time there proceeds the principle of the harmony of potencies, a remedy of a higher
dilution acting even when it is incorporated in a lower potency.
On the other hand it is well known that the ingestion of too much salt can lead
to deep-reaching disorders of nutrition and other symptoms, e.g. oedema, hypertension,
and possibly following on from this, a state of aneamia. In the course of the
provings, many symptoms came out which showed Natrum Muriaticum to be a great
remedy for intermittent fever, according to Nash also for malaria, and also for
anaemia, complaints of the alimentary tract and of the skin. There is also a characteristic
sensation of intense weakness with cold shivers running over the back, as
well as a distinct emaciation of the neck and a tendency to catch cold. In Natrum
Muriaticum the mucosa is usually dry, and this is associated with irritability and hypersensitivity
to all kinds of external influence.
Nash describes Natrum Muriaticum as one of the best remedies for anaemia, no
matter whether this is a result of loss of vital fluids (cf. China, Kali Carbonicum),
menstrual disorders (cf. Pulsatilla), seminal loss (cf. Phosphoricum Acidum, China),
or from physical influences.
There is usually pallor and emaciation, although the patient is eating well. There
may be pulsating headaches, shortness of breath on going upstairs and on physical
exertion, and especially constipation and a tendency to depression, which is typical
of Natrum Muriaticum, also a tendency to cry. In contrast to Pulsatilla, consolation
does not have a good effect, but rather aggravates the situation.
If pulsating headaches do not respond to Belladonna, then Natrum Muriaticum is
often indicated. In that case there is often anaemia present with a pale, or only
slightly flushed face. The remedy has a certain relationship to China, which likewise
has pulsating headaches, also following loss of blood, e.g. after the menses. As in
Calcium Phosphoricum, schoolgirls’ headaches may also be an indication for Natrum
Muriaticum. Palpitations and fibrillation with occasional missing beats are particularly
indicative of Natrum Muriaticum, likewise discomfort of the heart when at
rest, the complaints becoming worse (including the headache) after intensive mental
work.
The digestive disturbances of Natrum Muriaticum are striking, being characterised
by a strong sensation of dryness, especially in the mouth (without actual dryness
being present – Nash). Deep cracks (rhagades) occur in the centre of the upper –
443
sometimes of the lower – lip. Cracks in the corners of the mouth are also a symptom
of Natrum Muriaticum.
As in Silicea, there is the sensation as of a hair on the tongue (also in Kali
Bichromicum – Nash). A mapped tongue may also respond to Natrum Muriaticum.
Labial herpes, in many cases, requires not only Rhus toxicodendron, Mezereum or
Variolinum (Vaccininum), but reacts to Natrum Muriaticum, as may follicular
pharyngitis, particularly after local application of silver nitrate.
The dryness of the mucosa in the alimentary canal might well be responsible for
the dry, crumbling, irregular, hard stool, the rectum usually being very sluggish
without pain, and defaecation difficult, possibly associated with fissures and severe
bleeding, the feeling of great soreness remaining.
Natrum Muriaticum can be a very good remedy in fever, especially in intermittent
fever, when the chill occurs between about 10:00 and 11:00 in the morning (Nash).
Fever, headache and all other symptoms of Natrum Muriaticum are often ameliorated
by sweating.
The skin symptoms of Natrum Muriaticum include particularly fissures in the
nails (ingrowing nails) with inflammatory irritation of the fingers and toes, cracked
and peeling surface of the lips, and swelling of the lips, especially the upper lip (cf.
Causticum). Nodules, vesicles, diffuse red patches with loosening of the epidermis
and seborrhoea, and particularly vesicular eruptions in the creases of the joints may
all be present, the latter bursting and exfoliating with secretion of an acrid fluid
(Nash). Nash particularly refers to the fact that Natrum Muriaticum works better in
high potencies.
Boericke also describes other typical symptoms, such as violent fluent coryza with
sneezing and loss of smell and taste, internal soreness and dryness of the nose, also
irregular menstruation, acrid, watery vaginal discharge, giving-way of the joints,
rheumatic complaints with coldness of the legs, nervous twitching in sleep with
somnolence in the mornings, eruptions at the hair-margins, warts on the palms of the
hands, and amelioration in the open air, from cold bathing and lying on the righthand
side.
Boericke also recommends Aqua Marina in suitable potency subcutaneously in the
treatment of skin, kidney and intestinal diseases, in gastroenteritis and tuberculosis,
and also for detoxification in cancer.
Natrum Muriaticum should also be tried in neuralgias, especially infraorbital and
ciliary and in headaches, if other symptoms agree (emaciation, anaemia, long-standing
rheumatism, gouty or rheumatic arthritis).
Natrum Muriaticum is also indicated in infiltration of cellular tissue and the
glands, and where there are exudates and transudates which are not easily reabsorbed.
One must pay attention primarily to the constitutional symptoms of the patient,
and to the mentality, the irritability, sacral pain and constipation above all offering
an important indication, together with the amelioration in dry, warm weather
and the aggravation in damp, cool weather, and the general shivering.
The main symptoms of Natrum Muriaticum may be summed up in the following
remedy-picture:
444 - Pale patients, looking relaxed, easily irritated, despondent and pessimistic; they
cry easily but refuse consolation (“autonomically labile asthenics” – Schilsky),
reproachful answers when medical history is taken. - Pulsating headaches, especially in the temples and during the forenoon. Neuralgias.
Shuddering from chilliness even in a warm room. - Sacral pains with desire for something hard on which to lie. Neuralgias and
rheumatism. Joints give way. - Palpitations with arrhythmias, especially at rest.
- All complaints aggravated by mental work and by exertion. Irregular menstruation.
- Febrile attacks with shivering, thirst, heat and violent headache, ameliorated by
outbreak of sweating. Intermittent fever. Malaria. Attacks commencing in the
forenoon. - Labial herpes. Corners of the mouth cracked. Deep cracks in the centre of the
upper lip (possibly also the lower lip). - Urticaria. Eczema in the crease of the elbows with acrid fluid discharge. Also at
the hair margins. - Desire for salt and highly-seasoned food. Sensation of thirst, without drinking
much. Mapped tongue. - Mucous catarrhs, coryza with sneezing and nasal discharge like white of egg
(also from urethra, vagina). Sensation of a hair on the tongue. - Constipation with hard, dry, crumbling stools, in some cases like sheepdung,
with sorenses of the anus, fissures and bleeding. Sensation of weakness in the intestines.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium chloratum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for natrium muriaticum: migraine; diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
emotional discord or upset; skin diseases; disorders of the supporting tissue.
Natrum Nitricum – Sodium Nitrate
The attenuations are prepared from Sodium nitrate, NaNO3, MW: 85.0.
The main indications are:
Asthma, dyspnoea. Haemorrhagic tendency. Sensation of a weight on the chest.
Choroiditis. Exophthalmos.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium nitricum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
natrium nitricum: infections; rheumatism; haemorrhages; digestive insufficiency;
conditions of weakness.
445
Natrum Nitrosum – Sodium Nitrite
The attenuations are prepared from Sodium nitrite, NaNO2, MW: 69.0.
The nitrites are known as vasodilators and have proved their worth in sudden attacks
of angina pectoris. Natrum Nitrosum is particularly used in vertigo “as if one
would become insensible”. In this state both the lips and the hands tend to become
cyanosed, so that the patient must lie down for half an hour before he dares to move
again.
There are also frequently violent palpitations in the head and terrible headaches,
which are worse from movement and occur particularly on going upstairs. The patients
also complain of bitter eructations and a thick coating on the tongue. They
have a sensation as if the stomach and intestines were squeezed together, and at
night there may be attacks of copious diarrhoea with fainting. Syncope, possibly
strokes or gastro intestinal inflammations, and particularly angina pectoris are accompanied
by general cyanosis. Thus Natrum Nitrosum is also included essentially
in combination remedies for angina pectoris.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium nitrosum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
Natrium nitrosum: diarrhoea.
Natrum Oxalaceticum – Sodium Oxaloacetate
The attenuations are prepared from Sodium oxaloacetate, C8H11O5Na, MW: 210.2.
Like all catalysts of the Citric Acid cycle, Oxaloacetic acid – a product of the dehydration
of Malic acid – shows very close affinities for the internal respiration of
the tissues.
The main indications are:
Active factor of the Citric Acid cycle and of redox systems. Impregnation phases
of all kinds, also asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis, pre-cancerous
states, neoplasm phases (especially initially) to improve cell-respiration.
An important indication is the susceptibility to colds and hypersensitivity to albumen
and fat in the diet, and also to wind and humidity. In acute infectious diseases
too, Natrum Oxalaceticum as a supporting remedy with Fumaricum Acidum can accelerate
the cure considerably; in acute cases the 6X should be given and in chronic
cases the 12X.
Special indications include vertigo which does not respond to other remedies, in
cerebral ischaemia, asthmatic bronchitis, sinusitis, otitis media, all acute and chronic
inflammations of the naso-pharynx, lungs and bronchi. In many cases Natrum
Oxalaceticum can cut short the acute common cold.
446
Loss of the sense of smell owing to chemical action, diminution of the sense of
touch and impairment of the sense of taste with a tendency to add extra seasoning to
food and a desire for sour or salty food or chocolate.
Natrum Oxalaceticum is said to be a good catalyst in patients who fail to respond
to well-selected remedies after protracted or relapsing infectious diseases, especially
in vague conditions and following drug-poisoning. Nerve pains occurring everywhere
and moving about, stopping just short of the intolerable, with hypersensitivity
to noise, light and touch.
Children are irritable and bad-tempered and unable to concentrate.
Raised blood pressure after air travel. Paralysis following a stroke (to be given
along with other homoeopathic remedies).
Acute and chronic gastritis. Duodenal ulcer and other inflammatory illnesses of
the stomach and intestinal tract almost all respond favourably to Natrum Oxalaceticum.
Excessive sweating by day and night, with the underwear being stained
yellow. Nephrolithiasis. Renal insufficiency. Sweat smelling of ammonia. Vaginismus.
Adnexitis, oophoritis, mastitis. Prostatitis, also neoplasms. Stubborn rheumatic
complaints and gouty affections, also oozing allergic eczema, alternating with asthma
(vicariation).
A proving of this substance was conducted in the fall and winter of 1993 by Dr.
David Riley.
Congruent symptoms with Dr. Reckeweg:
• vertigo
• physical sensitivity

449
Natrum Phosphoricum – Sodium Phosphate
The attenuations are prepared from Disodiumhydrogen phosphate
Na2HPO4 · 12H2O, MW: 358.1.
The main indications are:
Dyspepsia. Heartburn, sour eructations, sour vomiting, sour stools, yellow coating
of the tongue.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium phosphoricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for natrium phosphoricum: gastrointestinal disorders.
Natrum Pyruvicum – Sodium Pyruvate
The attenuations are prepared from the sodium salt of pyruvic acid, C3H3NaO3,
MW: 110.1.
In its sphere of use, Natrum Pyruvicum has certain similarities to the indications
for Sulphur, since pyruvic acid is situated at a focal point in the Citric Acid cycle,
and Sulphur-like symptoms occur when there is an accumulation of pyruvates, e.g.
in iatrogenic damage. Thus Natrum Pyruvicum can be advantageously combined
with Engystol, Sulphur and possibly Hepar Sulph., and with all sarcodes and numerous
nosodes, especially in cellular phases of all kinds, also in chronic conditions,
such impregnation phases as asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases and
psoriasis, and in other degeneration phases, e.g. organic nervous diseases, and in
pre-cancerous states and neoplasm phases. The regressive vicariations which follow
should be tackled with suitable single remedies.
The homotoxins which require Natrum Pyruvicum do not depend so much on disorders
of the direct energy extraction and utilisation, as in respiratory disorders, but
rather they concern an integral part of the energy extraction, which precedes the introduction
of the decomposing carbohydrates into the Citric Acid cycle.
As well as sodium pyruvate, the additional prescription of α-liponic acid can be of
use. Pyruvic acid stands at the dividing line between respiration and fermentation.
We find from practical experience that all cellular phases represent an indication
for Natrum Pyruvicum, possibly in combination with Fumaricum Acidum and Natrum
Oxalaceticum.
The action can be completed with the sarcodes Embryo, Cerebrum, Corpus
Pineale, Hepar and Ren, and a treatment which has become deadlocked may be reactived
again to some extent by the additional use of Natrum Pyruvicum and supporting
remedies.
450
This is especially true of the treatment of chronic impregnation phases, such as
asthma, skin diseases and pruritus, and particularly in allergies, alergic eczema,
rheumatic and gouty symptoms, psoriasis, angina pectoris, organic nervous diseases
and psychoses, and treatment of pre-cancerous states.
In practice, the following indications are particularly noteworthy:
Migraine occurring in the morning and lasting until sunset with head-pain, retching
and vomiting. Raised pressure in the eye and frontal sinus conditions. Swimming
in the head, headaches after washing the hair, cutting the hair and cold food
(ice-cream). Bronchial asthma and bronchiectasis. Damage following retoxic treatment
of acute reaction phases (influenza, otitis media, etc.).
Circulatory disorders (peripheral and central) with gangrene, ulcer of the lower
leg, chilblains, marbled skin and circulatory collapse in acute reaction phases. Complaints
similar to angina pectoris. Either tachycardia, arrhythmia or bradycardia with
severely lowered blood-pressure (it may be expedient to prescribe along with it DLMalicum
Acidum and a suitable nosode).
Natrum Pyruvicum patients are said to walk slowly, dragging their feet, and to try
to avoid all physical exertion.
The skin is dry or may be excessively greasy. Itching, scaly eczemas, possibly alternating
with asthma, and also pustular suppurations from the sebaceous glands
with scarring (also after chicken pox) are indications for Natrum Pyruvicum, likewise
sore corners of the mouth with deep cracks and inflammations of the alae
nasae, and dry eczema on the buttocks. The joints give way easily (cf. Natrum Carbonicum).
Dental fistulae may exist for years, likewise dental caries without appreciable
pain or periodontitis.
Natrum Pyruvicum should be borne in mind particularly in all disorders of glucose
metabolism, and especially where there is circulatory disturbance (diabetic
gangrene).
Natrum Pyruvicum proved its worth in a case of gangrenous ulcer on the Achilles
tendon (in a young woman with juvenile-onset diabetes). Cure took place after
8–10 s.c. injections, likewise in the relapse which occurred a year later.
Psychoses which occur after childbirth and in the menopause are reputed to react
well to Natrum Pyruvicum, also.
The drug picture of Natrum pyruvicum was composed in August 1995 by David
Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.

Natrum Sulphuricum – Sodium Sulphate (Glauber’s Salt)
The attenuations are prepared from dehydrated Sodium sulphate, Na2SO4, MW:
142.0.
The main indications are:
Aggravation in wet weather. Asthma in fog (!). Bitter taste. Pain in the heel, penetrating.
Cracking of the joints. Chronic liver problems, chronic diarrhoea. Diabetes
mellitus, Hydrogenoid constitution, compatible with Dulcamara and Aranea Diadema.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium sulphuricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for natrium sulphuricum: hepatobiliary disorders; morning diarrhoea;
bronchial asthma; sequelae of a trauma suffered by the nervous system; rheumatism.
453
Nervus Olfactorius Suis – Olfactory Nerve
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from fresh olfactory nerve removed
from a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Anosmia. Vasomotor rhinitis. Hay fever (prophylactic). Illnesses resulting from reflex
action of the nasal mucosa; may also be tried in bronchial asthma.
Nervus Opticus Suis – Optic nerve
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh optic nerve removed
from a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Atrophy of the optic nerve (post-syphilitic or toxic). Disturbances of vision. Flickering
scotoma. Migraine.
Neurofibroma Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the surgically removed neurofibroma.
Recklinghausen’s disease or generalised neurofibromatosis are the names given to
multiple neurofibromata which are distributed throughout the body, the neurofibromata
arising from the peripheral nerve branches, with a possibility of sarcomatous
degeneration.
Apart from symptoms of sensory irritation there are occasionally conductive disorders
of the affected nerves; other possible symptoms include anomalies of skin
pigmentation, multiple naevi, bone anomalies and background lesions of the eyes;
there may also be mental disorders. It is also possible for fibromatous tumours to develop
on the nerves of the brain (acoustic neuroma). The basis for the disease lies
probably in a rudimentary malformation, and often in dominant hereditary factors
within the family. Thus the Neurofibroma Nosode will be used both in Recklinghausen’s
disease and possibly also in sarcomas of the skin, neuralgias and neurally
determined degenerations, and experimentally in pareses also.
454
Niccolum Aceticum – Nickel Acetate
The attenuations are prepared from Nickel acetate, C4H6NiO4 · 4H2O, MW: 248.9.
Characteristic of the symptomatology of nickel and its salts are tearing, contractive
pains, itching, burning stinging pains, as if from insect-bites here and there on
the body, associated with lassitude and feeling generally unwell, weakness and trembling
of the limbs, which is ameliorated in fresh air.
Sleep is usually restless, with frequent waking from a sensation of heat and pain in
the head and limbs. Not until nearly morning does the patient achieve calm sleep
with fantastic, lascivious dreams, and then he feels sleepy during the daytime. He
exhibits extremely changeable moods, varying between timidity, despondency, peevishness,
anger and brawling, as well as cheerfulness.
All over the body there are itching eruptions like herpes, and also pustular acne on
the face with swelling of the tissue.
Tearing headaches occur in the morning with vertigo, spasmodic twitching of the
eyelids, itching, burning and lachrymation of the eyes with redness and swelling of
the rims and slight conjunctivitis. Also there are various neuralgic pains in the neck
muscles, dislocated pain in the shoulder joints, pains in the sacrum, stinging pains in
the fingers (especially the joints) and toes, pain in the hips, crawling and cramps in
the toes, tearing pains in the knee joint and muscle pains in the thigh. These may be
replaced by shivering and alternating heat and chill with thirst, a dominating feeling
of heat by day and by night with violent thirst, and sweating in the afternoons and
after midnight. The picture of Niccolum and its salts may be rounded off by frequent
sneezing with dry nasal mucosa, nocturnal nasal congestion and nose-bleeds, laryngeal
catarrh and tickling sensation with bursts of dry coughing, slight expectoration,
nocturnal attacks of coughing with a sensation of pressure on the chest and shortness
of breath while sitting, and general painfulness of the chest.
Other symptoms include toothache, offensive mouth-odour with dryness of the
oral mucosa, swollen gums, tonsillitis, accumulation of mucus in the pharynx with
lack of appetite, violent thirst, eructations and hiccups, nausea and a sensation of
cramp and pressure in the stomach with burning, stinging pains, plentiful wind with
distension in the intestines, and stools which, even when soft, can only be voided
with difficulty and with stabbing pains in the rectum. In the genito-urinary organs
there is burning at the urethral meatus, increased and frequent urination, particularly
unusually copious urination at night, and itching of the genitalia which is not relieved
by scratching. The menses arrive too early and are then interrupted with a
feeling of great weakness and replaced by watery discharge.
The whole picture suggests the presence of impregnation phases, which have the
tendency to become inflammations with temporary fevers. There are vertigo and
states of weakness as well as spasmodic complaints, particularly hoarseness and attacks
of coughing with epistaxis, flatulent complaints with diarrhoea or unaccustomed
spastic constipation, likewise menstrual complaints with leucorrhoea.

Simpson recommends Niccolum Sulphuricum particularly for stubborn, periodic
headaches; Hale observed good results in periodic neuralgic pains following malaria.
Niccolum Metallicum – Nickel
The attenuations are prepared from metallic Nickel, Ni, AW: 58.7.
The main indications are:
Hoarseness, spasmodic coughing and nosebleeds. Constipation. Dysmenorrhoea.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Niccolum metallicum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for niccolum metallicum: inflammations of the mucosae of the respiratory
passages; rheumatism; headaches; emotional discord or upset.
Nicotinamidum – Niacinamide
The attenuations are prepared from Pyridine-3-carboxamide, C6H6N2O, MW: 122.1.
Nicotinamidum is used to activate the energy metabolism in cases of insufficiencies
of the respiratory chain. The substance which occurs naturally in the body is an
important component of Nadidum and its Phosphate. Deficiencies of Nicotinamidum
lead to skin lesions with disturbances of pigmentation. Other symptoms
are diarrhoea, glossitis, stomatitis as well as mental and neurological disturbances.
The drug picture of Nicontinamidum was composed in September 1995 by David
Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.

Nitricum Acidum – Nitric Acid (Aqua Fortis)
The attenuations are prepared from Nitric acid, HNO3 , MW: 63.0.
Potentised Nitric Acid is one of the most important polychrests, as they are
known, with typical symptoms and a wide therapeutic range, especially in chronic
impregnation phases, brought about by eruptions, sycosis, vitamin deficiency or retoxication
associated with tuberculosis, syphilis and other diseases. Also in numerous
conditions of the skin, mucosa, blood, glands, digestive system, respiratory organs
and skeletal system.
There is a strong tendency to colds and mucous discharges after abuse of mercury,
with all discharges offensive, and sticking, splinter-like pains predominating.
458
Fissures, ulceration and desquamation occur particularly at the muco-cutaneous
borders (corners of the mouth, nose, anus). It is also indicated for aphthous ulcers,
stomatitis with salivation, and gingivitis with an offensive odour, especially if there
is a history of treatment with mercury.
It is indicated in anal fissures (cf. Ratanhia) and in bleeding, very painful haemorrhoids,
especially if there is “violent pain after stool, even a soft stool” (Nash). In
contrast to Nux Vomica there is no relief after stool, but the patient has to walk
about for an hour or two after defaecation, on account of the violent pain. As in
Collinsonia, Nitric Acid also has a sticking splinter-like pain, which may be accompanied
by loss of unusually bright red blood from any orifice of the body, especially
in typhus and haemorrhoids.
Another typical symptom is offensive urine, which may contain albumen and
which the patient may be unable to hold if the bladder is full.
Pedunculated warts and boils appear on the skin, also ulcers which bleed easily,
especially on the buttocks (cf. Sulphur), where they may be erosive with irregular
edges, exuding an offensive fluid. Inflammations of the eye may be present, with
specks on the cornea.
In earlier days Nitric Acid was particularly effective with syphilitic conditions
arising after over-dosing with mercury. These included particularly mercurial affections
of the bones, with caries and inflammation of the periosteum and nocturnal
rheumatic complaints, especially with changes in the weather, and possibly accompanied
by constant chilliness and offensive night-sweats, swelling and suppuration
of the inguinal glands.
Nitric Acid is also called for in hearing impairment after abuse of mercury (cf. Petroleum),
and chronic colds with watery, excoriating, offensive coryza. Especially,
too, in scarlet fever and diphtheria, looseness of the teeth and bleeding of the gums,
violent toothache in advanced caries and dental pulpitis, pulmonary abscess and pulmonary
haemorrhages in thin elderly persons.
As in Carbo Animals and Muriaticum Acidum, there is an aversion to meat and a
craving for fats and herring. There may be a bitter or sweetish taste in the mouth,
and also an aversion to bread.
The wide variety of secretions of Nitric Acid have a characteristic, offensive smell,
which is also found in the thin leucorrhoea. Chilblains have a light pinky-red appearance
and itch strongly.
Aggravation is in the evening and night, also on rising from sitting and on touching
the affected parts, on motion and after eating. There is a characteristic amelioration
from riding in a car, and also from eructations.
In Nitric Acid there is frequently a tendency to diarrhoea, at least not to hard
stools, and the remedy normally helps with this.
Mentally there is irritability, obstinacy and hopeless despair; there may be malice
and thirst for revenge with sensitivity to noise, pain, touch and jarring, which may
give rise to fear of death. The scalp is sensitive, and there may be the sensation of a
band around the head, or headache from pressure of the hat.
459
The tongue of Nitric Acid is characteristic: clean, red and wet with a central furrow;
bloody saliva is often present, especially when there are also ulcers on the soft
palate.
Summing up the principal symptoms of Nitric Acid, we have the following remedy-
picture: - Pains as from a splinter. Ulcerations and fissures at orifices of the body, on
muco-cutaneous borders, especially in dark-skinned persons above middle age.
Sycotic conditions and hydrogenoid constitution. - Ulceration of mouth and tongue. Aphthae. Condylomata and fissures, bleeding
easily. Anal fissures with pains lasting for hours after defaecation. - Strongly offensive urine, faeces and sweat. Tendency to chills and diarrhoea.
- Irritable, obstinate patients with hopeless despair. Sensitivity to noise, fear of
death. Sensation of a band around the head and headache from pressure of the
hat. - Corneal ulcers. Photophobia. Constant lachrymation. Offensive nasal discharge.
Excoriated, bleeding nostrils (sensation of splinters in the nose). Mastoiditis. - Tongue red, wet, clean with a central furrow. Bloody saliva with ulceration of
the soft palate. Pain as from a splinter on swallowing. - Loves fat and salt. In pregnancy, craving for earth, chalk, etc. Dyspepsia. Anal
prolapse. Easy bleeding of haemorrhoids. Icterus. - Urine offensive and maybe containing albumen or blood, (hypertrophy of
prostate). Ulcers beneath the prepuce. Balanitis. Leucorrhoea. Menses accompanied
by violent pains and stitching. Metrorrhagia. - Hoarseness with a dry cough. Offensive foot-sweat.
- Chilblains. Sweating of the hands. Offensive sweating of the axilla at night.
Large warts, full of cracks, bleeding on washing. Also ulcers on the lower leg,
sensitive and bleeding easily with splinter-like pains and indented edges, like
raw meat. Excess of granulation tissue. - Aggravation in the evening and at night, from cold, and also in hot weather.
Amelioration when driving.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum nitricum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
acidum nitricum: inflammations of the skin and mucosae, with tendency to cracked
skin; ulceration; benign and malignant proliferation of tissue (hyperblastosis); illness
associated with excessive loss of weight; emotional discord or upset.
460
Nux Moschata – Nutmeg
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried seeds of the plant Myristica fragrans
Houtt., a native of the Moluccas and New Guinea. N.O. Myristicaceae.
The main indications are:
Aggravated by draughts and damp, cold weather. Hysterical and hypochondriacal
symptoms. Brain feels as if loose. Sensation of hovering in the air. As if in a dream.
Eyes dry, can hardly close them. As if the tongue had gone to sleep. Thirstlessness in
spite of the sensation of dryness. Excessive abdominal distension and wind. Soft
stools can hardly be passed. Toothache, headache, diarrhoea, vomiting and coughing
during pregnancy. Mental fatigue. Muscular rheumatism. Strangury after drinking
beer or wine. Breasts under-developed. There is a characteristic hysterical aphonia,
i.e. speaking with a toneless, soft, whispering voice.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Mysterica fragrans, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for nux moschata: nervous physical complaints; insufficiency of digestive
organs accompanied by flatulence; perception disorders.
Nux Vomica – Poison Nut
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried, ripe seeds of the plant, Strychnos
nux-vomica L., a native of the East Indies, North Australia and especially Sri Lanka.
N.O. Loganiaceae.
Nux Vomica contains the alkaloids strychnine and brucine, compounds of strychninic
acid, and also tannic acid fat and a small quantity of a glycoside, Loganin.
Through the whole symptomatology of this important homoeopathic polychrest
there runs a nervous irritability, a tendency to cramps and spasms, with lassitude,
weakness with a bruised, beaten feeling, pains in the limbs and joints, and a heightened
sensitivity to gentle touch, jarring and noises of any kind. Patients who require
Nux Vomica are in need of rest. There are often muscle cramps, even tonic and
clonic spasms of various limbs.
There is a striking tendency to catch colds and a wariness of cool air. Influenza patients
who need Nux Vomica cover themselves up in fear, right up to the neck, because
every draught upsets them. Aggravation results from mental exertion and after
consumption of coffee and alcoholic drinks. In humid weather a slight amelioration
is present.
Toxicologically, gastro intestinal inflammations are typical, as is a congestion of
blood in the brain, spinal cord and meninges, with sweating into the cavities, the
blood itself being viscous, tarry and of a dark colour.
461
The Nux Vomica patient is tired in the mornings, and is very sleepy during the
day, with much yawning and stretching of the limbs, may go to sleep late, sleeps
lightly, and has a typical sleeplessness beginning at about 3:00 a.m. and lasting until
about 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. The patient may go off to sleep again, and could sleep in
until midday.
Emotionally the Nux Vomica patient presents the picture of a gloomy hypochondriac
with heightened irritability, irascibility, intensity of feeling, lachrymosity and
quarrelsome disposition. The skin frequently shows a yellow discolouration. The
complexion is pale, wretched and sallow, possibly alternating with flushing. The
palms of the hands are cool and clammy.
The psychological symptoms are particularly notable in the mornings. The patients
cannot concentrate, they omit words and syllables, say the wrong thing, and
also complain of headaches, in the frontal, temporal and occipital regions, and possibly
of one-sided, migraine-like conditions, especially after alcohol. The student
with a hangover is typical of Nux Vomica. There may also be irritative conditions of
the conjunctiva, hypersensitivity of hearing and auditory delusions, itching in the
nose, and a refined sense of smell. Nux Vomica is also indicated especially for stiffness
of the joints, the neck and the spine with painful rheumatic complaints, sensations
of heaviness and weakness in the legs, pains in the heels, stinging, burning
pains in the soles of the feet and severe itching of the toes.
Immoderate eating is followed by a feeling of constriction in the heart with arrhythmia
and pulsation of the carotid arteries, accompanied by a feeling of oppression
and anxiety. There may be fits and also at the same time high-pitched, rough
coughing, especially in the morning, which may be followed by retching (morning
sickness).
Nux Vomica is the required remedy for glossitis, stomatitis with vesicles and ulceration
on the mucosa of mouth and tongue, and incipient periodontitis. Also for
aversion and disgust for any food, heartburn, bitter or sour eructations, sensation of
fullness and heaving of the contents of the stomach with nausea, retching and vomiting.
In the morning particularly this may be of mucus or bile, or even blood; in old
drinkers these constitute characteristic indications for Nux Vomica.
Nux Vomica is a remedy for intestinal peristalsis with frequent unsuccessful urging
and pushing to defaecate, a few mucous, bloody shreds occasionally being
passed. The stool may be initially hard, followed by diarrhoea, or there may be constipation
with congestion in the head, or haemorrhoids with much itching and passing
of threadworms, or else spasm of the anal sphincter. Enlargement of the liver and
gastroenteritis may also occur.
The tenesmus which is typical of Nux Vomica may also present in the bladder
with dysuria, strangury and cystitis. In the morning there may be persistent erections,
and also seminal emissions with following coldness, especially of the feet. In
the female genitalia there is the sensation of bearing down, as in Sepia; there may
also be muco-purulent discharge and itching, as well as arrival of the menses several
days early.
462
Although Nux Vomica is a gastro intestinal remedy par excellence, and is used in
glossitis, stomatitis, gastritis, enterocolitis and haemorrhoids, as well as in liver and
biliary conditions, it can also act superbly in sleep-disorders of the kind described
above, and particularly where the modalities apply: worse in the morning and from
cold. Thus cases of influenza can often experience a remarkable recovery by means
of Nux Vomica.
If we sum up the most important symptoms once more, the following typical remedy-
picture is the result: - Chilliness. Tendency to catch cold (especially fluent coryza), and general sensitivity
to cold air, even in fever. Generally sensitive to external impressions and
noises. Cold, clammy hands. - Typical aggravation in the mornings (haemorrhoidal civil-servant type). Grumpiness.
Irascibility. Unjustified raging. Deathly sickness in the mornings (morning
sickness), in the evening in good spirits with his beer and tobacco. - Consequences of abuse of stimulants, especially alcohol, coffee and nicotine.
- Characteristic sleeplessness, with waking around 3:00 a.m. (acidity). Lies awake
till about 7:00 a.m. and could then sleep until about midday. - Inflammations and discomfort along the entire length of the alimentary canal.
Stomatitis. Gingivitis. Glossitis. - Gastritis with heaviness and pressure, as if of a stone, and flatulence, must loosen
the belt (cf. Lycopodium). Digestive disorders, especially after meals, with distension.
Sour and bitter eructations. White coating of posterior half of the tongue. - Enterocolitis and colitis with frequent unsuccessful urging and possibly knotty
stool. Also indicated after abuse of laxatives. - Haemorrhoidal complaints, mostly without bleeding.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Strychnos nux-vomica, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for nux vomica: feverish disorders, inflammation of the respiratory organs;

Oroticum Acidum – Orotic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from Orotic acid, C5H4N2O4 · H2O, MW: 174.1.
Orotic acid plays a part in important intermediate syntheses. It is produced from
ureido-succinic acid (among other substances), by reaction with the intermediate
stage: dihydro-orotic acid, and by subsequent DPN-dependent dihydrogenation. This
reaction has been demonstrated in animal tissue and bacteria. As well as in milk, dihydro-
orotic acid is found in significant quantities in yeast extracts. Dihydro-orotic
acid probably also plays a part in the synthesis of purine, as in the case of the synthesis
of the pyramidine ring, which proceeds from α-ureido-succinic acid, (carbamyl-
aspartic acid). The latter is produced by a reaction of aspartic acid with carbamyl
phosphate, discovered by Lipmann. Thus earlier discoveries may be explained,
according to which the ureid carbon of citrullin can change to ureido-succinic
acid, orotic acid and the pyramidine bases of the nucleic acids. (Lowenstein
and Cohen, according to Leuthardt.)
466
Dihydro-orotic acid reacts with 5-Phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate, pyrophosphate
being split off by the nucleotide-pyrophosphorylase, and conveyed to the oritidine,
and oridine originates through the decarboxylisation of the latter. Thus Orotic Acid
can be of use in impregnation phases, and also in liver damage.
A proving of this substance was conducted in the winter and spring of 1994, by
Dr. David Riley. The results offer new information not present in the first edition of
Dr. Reckeweg’s Materia medica which dealt primarily with the role of Orotic acid as
an intermediate syntheses and its usefulness in treating liver disease.
Congruent symptoms with Dr. Reckeweg:
• abdominal pain and tenderness

Oxyuris Nosode – Threadworm Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from threadworms (Oxyur vermicularis/
Enterobius vermicularis).
The condition provoked by Oxyuris vermicularis (enterobiasis), found with particular
frequency in children, is characterised by tormenting itching of the anus (especially
in the evening when going to sleep, and at night), and by proctitis, urging for
stool, and possibly also by anal eczema, bed-wetting and vulvitis, and by nervous
disorders. Occasionally ulceration of the large intestine and appendicitis oxyurica
are seen, the latter caused by immature worms tunnelling into the intestinal wall.
Breeding females creep out of the anus during sleep and lay their eggs in the anal
folds, where the most favourable conditions for embryonic development are to be
found, (moisture, temperature of 30°–36°C), and from the eggs larvae hatch in a few
hours, capable of infection.
Although it may be assumed that the favourable “soil” for the worms’ development
is removed by use of this nosode, in accordance with the Law of Similiars it
should also develop a favourable action against bed-wetting, vulvitis and anal
eczema, and also against the nervous irritative states of children who wake with a
start in the night, are overly nervous, cry very much and suffer from tics.

Parodontosis Nosode – Nosode of Periodontitis
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from periodontal tissue (gum, root
membrane and alveolar bone) which is affected by periodontitis.
The Parodontosis Nosode is indicated not only in periodontitis, but it constitutes
an effective stimulative therapy in the event of homotoxic overloading (a raised level
of toxins), especially if it is supported by other anti-homotoxic preparations such as
enzyme stimulators, intermediary catalysts and organ stimulating remedies.
The Parodontosis Nosode is also particularly indicated when, after all the teeth
have been removed, the symptoms of periodontitis are suddenly halted and a regression
sets in of the homotoxins which were previously routed through the infection.
These then trigger off a wide variety of phases at other sites of least resistance, e.g.
manifestation of liver damage, cirrhosis of the liver, intolerance of alcohol (wine and
beer), a sudden rise in the blood pressure, disturbances of coronary ciruclation, etc.
As is generally the case with the nosodes, and particularly in the case of the Parodontosis
Nosode, the general homotoxic state must be taken into account. So those
homotoxins which were formerly being eliminated by way of the reaction phase of
periodontitis and are now taking effect, because of retoxication, must be stimulated
by the use of other suitable preparations, particularly combination-remedies, such as
are used in cellular phases.
481
Parotidinum – Nosode of Mumps
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from mumps vaccine.
The main indications are:
Mumps is to be distinguished from the parotitis which is seen in scarlet fever,
cholera and other infectious diseases, and also from the secondary parotitis, arising
from throat infections and diseases of the oral mucosa.
There is painful swelling of the parotid gland with characteristic displacement of
the ear-lobe, fever, otalgia and hearing-difficulty, and sometimes pancreatic involvement
is also found in mumps. The use of Parotidinum should therefore be borne in
mind in affections of the pancreas of various kinds, as well as in various diseases of
the oral mucosa such as stomatitis, tonsillitis, Eustachian catarrh and hearing problems
of catarrhal origin. It should also be borne in mind in involvement of the testes
from viral illnesses of all kinds, and should be tried in cryptorchism and benign tumours
of the testes (fibroma, myoma, lymphangioma, adenomatoid tumours), and
may also be tried in malignant tumours of the testes or seminoma. It might also be
tried in teratoma and dermoid cysts. Since iatrogenic damage is not to be reckoned
with in the use of nosodes, we have here at our disposal new – and often surprisingly
effective – therapeutic possibilities.
Parotis Suis – Parotid Gland
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh parotid gland removed
from a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Follow-up treatment for mumps. Cysts and secretory disorders of the parotid
gland.

incarnata L., a native of South America and the East Indies, and cultivated in many
places for decoration. N.O. Passifloraceae.
The main indications are:
Nervous sleeplessness. States of restlessness. Addictions.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Passiflora incarnata, published
482
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for passiflora incarnata: insomnia; spasmodic conditions; conditions of
restlessness.
Penicillin
The attenuations are prepared from Benzylpenicillin potassium, C16H17KN2O4S,
MW: 327.5 (Potentised allopathic compound).

Iatrogenic damage during or after treatment with antibiotics, sulphonamides etc.
General exhaustion, only feels well when lying down. Eczemas. Urticaria. Warts.
Stinging pains in various places, aggravated by movement (cf. Bryonia). Supra-orbital
neuralgia, also behind the right eyeball (cf. Chelidonium, Sanguinaria, Belladonna).
Restless sleep. Waking around 2:00 a.m. Conjunctivitis. Blepharitis. Protracted colds.
Eczema of the auditory canal. Tinnitus. Cardiac asthma. Dry, hoarse cough.

Julian (of Paris) recommends the preparation proved by Guermonprez in 1954/55
in chronic reticuloendotheliosis (Letterer-Siwe disease).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Benzylpenicillinum-Kalium,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for penicillin: chronic inflammations of the skin and mucosae.
Pertussin – Nosode of Whooping Cough
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from pertussis immunoglobulins.
The main indications are:
In whooping cough (pertussis) and all types of cough. Also in emphysema,
bronchial asthma with attacks of coughing. According to Julian also in neurological
diseases of childhood with convulsions; also in tetany, epilepsy and imbecility,
should whooping cough appear in the medical history.
483
Petroleum – Rock Oil
The attenuations are prepared by retification of naturally-occurring rock oil, a clear
colourless liquid boiling between 180 and 220 °C.
Nash describes Petroleum as one of our best antipsoric remedies, its skin eruptions
being very similar to those of Graphites, occurring in the creases of joints and in
folds of skin, e.g. behind the ears, on the scrotum, on the female genitalia, and on
hands, feet and legs. The characteristic leading symptom is the aggravation in winter,
the hands become cracked, chapped and bleeding, covered in eczema during
winter-time and typically healing up in summer. Thus Petroleum is also a good remedy
for chilblains and, like Hepar Sulphuris, shows an aggravation in cold weather
or cold air. The slightest injury or abrasion of the skin suppurates just as in Hepar
Sulphuris also.
A further important symptom of Petroleum is nausea and vertigo while travelling,
so that it can be used for sea-sickness and train-sickness.
Nash also mentions a particular kind of headache in the occiput, which feels as
heavy as lead with a dizzy sensation.
Cracking in the joints can also respond favourably to Petroleum, as it does to
Causticum, and there is a pain in the stomach, ameliorated by eating, and diarrhoea
and dysentery which are aggravated during the daytime.
Thus Nash includes Petroleum among the main antipsorics, such as Sulphur,
Graphites, Causticum and Lycopodium.
Mention must also be made of the nervous irritability which is found in Petroleum
patients, also restless sleep with great excitement and internal heat and tossing about
in bed (similar to Sulphur), starting up in fear with anxious dreams and phantasies,
and also with palpitation and trembling in the limbs; during the day there is sleepiness
and fatigue, the patient possibly falling asleep unexpectedly while sitting quietly.
There may be restlessness and discontent, an excited manner, easily aroused to outbursts
of temper and displaying strong feelings. The patient can be angry, but may
also be gloomy, despondent and anxious, finally becoming dispirited. There may also
be forgetfulness and disinclination for mental exertion, with weakness of intellect, and
also vertigo, heaviness and swimming in the head, and tinnitus, associated with dull,
drawing headaches.
The skin conditions of Petroleum may extend to the mucosa of the eyes, with dacryocystitis,
lachrymation, easy tiredness of the eyes, weakness of vision and floaters.
Otitis externa with chronic inflammatory discharge, associated with tinnitus and
hearing impairment also responds to Petroleum, as does epistaxis with ulcerations of
the nasal mucosa.
Also particularly characteristic are the dislocated pains in the shoulder, elbow, hand
and finger joints; the lower jaw is also easily dislocated and there may be stiffness in
all joints and cramps in the thighs, calves and feet which is intensified during the day.
Petroleum can likewise be used to good effect in stomach complaints as part of the
duodenal syndrome; there is then often offensive mouth-odour with ulcerative stom-
484
atitis and a white, mucous coating of the tongue, and accompanying tonsillitis. There
may also be flatulent abdominal distension, watery vomiting and large quantities of
foetid diarrhoea. Defaecation is often followed by a sensation of great weakness and
itching in the anus with burning and stinging in the rectum.
In addition to pruritus of the male and female genitalia with a tendency to eczema,
there is also neuralgia of the spermatic cord and testes and burning irritation in the
urethra, and in women there is vaginal discharge like egg-white.
Typical of Petroleum is always the aggravation from travelling and in winter, especially
of skin complaints, or also from vexation.
If the main symptoms are summed up, the result is the following typical remedypicture: - Chronic rheumatism. Arthritis and arthroses with cracking and grating in the joints.
Habitual subluxation of the mandible. Aggravation in winter. - Tendency to catch colds easily. Fatigue and shivering. Swimming in the head after
mental exertion. Depressive mood. - Skin eruptions with moist, sore eczemas in the creases of the joints and behind the

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Petroleum rectificatum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette)
for petroleum: various skin diseases; inflammations of the respiratory passages, the
gastrointestinal tract, and the urinary organs; rheumatism; vertigo.
Petroselinum – Parsley
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant, gathered when coming
into flower, of Petroselinum crispum [Mill.] Nym. ssp. crispum, a native of Southern
Europe and cultivated in many places as a culinary herb and for the production of
the essential oil. N.O. Umbelliferae.
The main indications are:
Bladder problems. Sudden, irresistible urging to urinate. Itching in the urethra
(which may cause impotence owing to a persistent disorder resulting from the impregnation
effects of retoxic treatment of gonorrhoea).

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Petroselinum crispum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette)
for petroselinum: inflammations of the urinary tract; irritable urinary bladder.
Phlorizine
The attenuations are prepared from the glycoside, Phlorizine, C21H24O10 · 2H2O,
MW: 427.4, which occurs in the bark of root and trunk and in the branches and
leaves of various members of the Rosaceae family, e.g. apple, cherry, and plum
trees.
When small quantities of Phlorizine are taken or, better, injected subcutaneously,
this precipitates a severe glycosuria which occurs without any preceding hyperglycaemia
and continues even when the blood-sugar level becomes low. This effect
comes about because the kidney has become permeable to lower levels of blood-glucose.
In kidney diseases, glycosuria occurs late, minimally or not at all. Thus it seemed
obvious and consistent with the Law of Similars and the Reversal effect (Arndt-
Schulz) to use Phlorizine in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, this was not
attended by spectacular success, probably because in most cases of diabetes mellitus
we are dealing with degeneration phases or genetically determined phases which,
being cellular phases, are on the right of the Biological Division, and are therefore,
as Hahnemann remarked in the Organon, no longer fully accessible to cure with
single homoeopathic remedies in most cases, being manifestations of Psora.
A doctor who is working in a biological way and is not achieving results with single
remedies along the lines of classical homoeopathy enlists a number of curative
possibilities which can be realised throug E. Bürgi’s synergistic principle, i.e. combination-
remedies, especially if these are used parenterally and thus come into close
contact with the body’s Greater Defensive System directly and possibly undiluted.
Phosphoricum Acidum – Phosphoric Acid
The attenuations are prepared from diluted Phosphoric acid, H3PO4 , MW: 98.0.
The main characteristics of Phosphoric Acid are weakness, apathy, indifference
and sluggishness of mind and body. Complaints are aggravated by cold and ameliorated
by warmth. The patient may lie there in a state of unconsciousness or as if
drugged, without being aware of what is going on around him. However, on waking
he is fully conscious (Nash).
486
However, Phosphoric Acid is not only indicated in typhoid conditions, but the depression
of the senses may also be due to personal problems and emotional burdens
of external origin, rather similar to Ignatia, but substantially deeper-rooted, the patient
appearing to be paralysed by grief or other problems. A crushing pressure is
often present in the vertex, with pains in the occiput or neck.
In contrast to Calcium Carbonicum patients, who are mostly pyknic, Phosphoric
Acid patients grow too quickly. We then find headaches, especially in school pupils
when they have grown too fast.
The abdominal symptoms include flatulent distension, rumbling and gurgling and
noises as of water, and a colourless painless diarrhoea without any noteworthy
weakness or exhaustion. This is in strong contrast to China. Both this remedy and
Phosphoric Acid are good remedies for the consequences of masturbation.
There is a characteristic sleeplessness at night, with debilitating sweats and waking
with ravenous hunger and a craving for cold milk or beer. After meals the patient
complains of great exhaustion and possibly sour eructations or a taste as of rotten
eggs. After drinking water there is heartburn, or vomiting of sour mucus, which
makes the teeth feel blunt.
The weakness which runs through the whole remedy also finds expression in the
respiratory organs. Here the patient is so short of breath that he cannot talk for long
on account of weakness in the chest. Spasmodic painful constriction of the chest
may also occur, and coughing with tickling in the larynx. There is chronic laryngeal
and bronchial catarrh, with a tendency to bleeding, dryness and roughness in the
throat. A nasal voice is also typical.
A typical genito-urinary symptom is an escape of prostatic fluid (prostatorrhoea)
before urination, and frequent urination at night. The urine may have a red sediment
and a greasy layer on the surface. The urine is generally very copious and lightcoloured,
watery or milky. Headache is ameliorated by copious urination (cf.
Gelsemium.)
There is impotence in males, with failure to maintain the erection during coitus,
and without seminal discharge. This can frequently be a consequence of coitus interruptus
or masturbation. There is an itching of the scrotum, anus or vagina.
The menses arrive late and are scanty. There is leucorrhoea with large lumps and
an unbearable odour.
Summing up the main symptoms of Phosphoric Acid, we have the following typical
remedy-picture: - Mental exhaustion. Weakness of memory. Consequences of personal problems,
over-work and sexual excesses. Reluctance to talk. Sleepiness. - Aggravation from cold, amelioration from keeping warm.
- Sleepiness during the day and sleeplessness at night, with exhausting sweats.
Twitching and movement of limbs during sleep. Worrying or lascivious dreams
with seminal emissions. Refreshed by a short sleep. Waking with ravenous
hunger. - Gums bleed easily. Scurvy. Dryness of the oral mucosa. Tongue coated white or
yellow. Aversion to rye-bread, craving for milk or beer. Taste as of rotten eggs.
487
Vomiting of sweet or sour mucus. Chronic painless diarrhoea which does not exhaust
the patient. - Irritable conditions of the bladder. Prostatorrhoea before urination. Frequent urination
at night. Burning or cutting pains during urination. Retention of urine.
Urine has red sediment and greasy layer on the surface. - Impotence. Seminal emissions. Failure to maintain erection during coitus, with
seminal discharge lacking. Menses late and scanty. Leucorrhoea with large
lumps, offensive. - Itching of the anus vagina and scrotum.
- Chronic catarrh of the larynx and air passages.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum phosphoricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for phosphoricum acidum: exhaustion of the mental and physical activity,
disturbances of the calcium metabolism, diarrhoea.
Phosphorus
The attenuations are prepared from yellow Phosphorus, P, AW: 30.97.
The liquid potencies obtained from the solution of white phosphorus in alcohol
are used in numerous complaints and diseases which are typical of Phosphorus, the
whole remedy being permeated by a characteristic hypersensitivity and excitability
with a general aggravation from emotions.
As with Nux Vomica, cold aggravates the complaints; however, it ameliorates the
head, stomach and spinal symptoms.
Phosphorus works well in morning diarrhoea, whilst most of the complaints are
worse towards evening. The Phosphorus patient feels worse after meals and lying on
the left side, although the latter symptom does not hold good in all cases.
Emotionally there is a general excitability and irritability, laughing alternating
with crying. There are timidity and fearfulness at twilight and above all during thunderstorms;
the patient fears to be alone, and is hypersensitive to light, noises, music
and the scent of flowers, as with Nux Vomica. There is a general tremulous weakness
with vertigo and possibly headache, which is ameliorated by cool air and washing
in cold water.
Thus Phosphorus is indicated in alcoholic tremor. This symptom which occurs
during withdrawal treatment, might otherwise provide the incentive to start drinking
alcohol again and so prejudice the success of the treatment.
There may be black spots dancing in front of the eyes, or the patient may see as if
through a mist with momentary states of blindness. There may also be impaired
hearing of the frequencies of human speech sounds. Exhaustion occurs, particularly
after emotional states, over-work, acute illness, loss of vital fluids and sexual ex-
488
cesses. Phosphorus does excellent work particularly in states of exhaustion following
acute illnesses (e.g. diphtheria) linked with sleeplessness. This Phosphorus
symptom is also seen in the withdrawal symptoms of alcoholism.
Necrosis of the lower jaw is typical of Phosphorus, as is a grey, mucous coating of
the tongue with brown and black patches. There is ravenous hunger and a feeling of
faintness with nervousness, worse around 10:00–11:00 a.m. The patient wakes at
night feeling hungry; he must eat something, desires cold food, which may then be
vomited.
Generally there is a predominant sensation of emptiness and weakness in the abdomen.
The stools are painless, with a sensation as if the anus were open.
In many cases there is a high degree of sexual excitement with accompanying
physical weakness and seminal emissions at night. The menses are mostly scanty.
Phosphorus displays characteristic catarrh and cold symptoms, particularly
hoarseness with coughing and roughness of the larynx, worse in the evening, the larynx
being so sensitive to touch that the patient cannot speak for the pain. In the chest
there is a tense, constricting sensation with air-hunger, such as occurs in pneumonia.
Lobar pneumonia is a strict indication for Phosphorus, also coughing with mucous,
blood-streaked, rusty-coloured and possibly salty sputum. Phosphorus must not be
given in low potency in tuberculosis. Indications include stabbing in the left side of
the chest and pains in the back as if it were going to break, with tearing pains in the
left shoulder, worse at night. There is congestion of blood, possibly with hot flushes,
fear and burning in the face and hands and between the shoulder-blades. The patient
cannot sleep for internal dry heat. All pains are of a burning nature (as in Sulphur
and Arsenicum).
Phosphorus is also an effective haemorrhage remedy. Small wounds, especially,
bleed profusely. Thus Phosphorus is also indicated in purpura, bruises, petechiae and
haematoma.
The Phosphorus patient is said to feel better after a massage.
Typical of Phosphorus is the stooping posture in patients who are lean, slim and
asthenic, have grown too fast, are usually blond and in need of the Alexander Technique.
However, Phosphorus is frequently also effective in gastric illnesses with chronic
dyspepsia, ravenous hunger and vomiting. It is a remedy for the glands, and is indicated
in bronchial pneumonia, in colds which proceed from the nose downwards
into the trachea and bronchi, and in tuberculosis, as well as in chronic diarrhoea.
However, only higher potencies must be used where there is a haemorrhagic tendency
(especially in tuberculosis). Phosphorus is indicated in hepatitis with jaundice,
and in other kinds of impregnation and degeneration phases, e.g. myocardial damage,
endocarditis and fatty degeneration of the heart, typhoid anaemia, osteomyelitis
with fistulae, and also in suppurations of connective tissues and glands.
Clear states of exhaustion require Phosphorus in low potency. Phosphorus has always
proved its worth in pneumonia, (orally or injected, in the potencies 10X, 30X,
200X and 1000X).
489
If the symptoms of Phosphorus are presented schematically, the result is a manysided
remedy-picture as follows: - General fearfulness, especially in thunderstorms. Fear of solitude.
- Vertigo, especially on rising or on changing position quickly.
- General weakness with trembling of the limbs or as soon as something is picked
up. (Withdrawal symptoms in alcoholism. Delirium tremens.) - Diseases of the bones, especially of the spine and the lower jaw (after dental extraction).
Burning between the scapulae. - Haemorrhagic tendency. Purpura. Bleeding haemorrhoids. Protracted haemorrhages
generally, also haematoma without obvious injuries. Thrombocytopaenia. - Frequent need to eat, especially at night. Subsequent amelioration – if only temporary.
Dyspepsia. Catarrhs and glandular inflammations, e.g. laryngitis with
hoarseness, worse in cold air. Sore, raw feeling under the sternum. Specific for
lobar pneumonia. Liver damage. Myocardial damage. Damage to the parenchyma
of the kidneys with albuminuria. Nephrosis. - Rapid fatigue during coitus with heightened libido and subsequent weakness.
- Sweating during first sleep and burning heat between the scapulae and in the
hands. In tall, slim people who have shot up, asthenic types who tire quickly but
soon recover. (Alexander Technique.)

Podophyllum – May Apple
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock with roots attached, gathered
after the fruit is fully ripe, of Podophyllum peltatum L., which grows in damp
woods of Eastern North America. N.O. Berberidaceae.
The root of American Podophyllum – also known as American mandrake or wild
lemon – contains a resin which is used as a laxative. In homoeopathy it is principally
indicated in juvenile diarrhoea, congestive states of the abdomen and head, and in
liver problems. In recent years Podophyllum has gained in importance by virtue of
495
the fact that the diarrhoea, apparently the result of liver problems, has in many cases
turned out to be of pancreatic origin. Thus Podophyllum may be used in a wide
range of potencies in the treatment of pancreatic problems, and in recent years has
also acquired further importance through a certain effectiveness in treatment of cancer,
particularly in the colitis which occurs after radiotherapy.
Designated “vegetable Mercury”, Podophyllum has, amongst other things, a sphere
of action covering liver, duodenum and rectum, which manifests particularly in copious,
painless and spluttering morning diarrhoea, driving the patient out of bed (cf.
Sulphur). Whereas an aggravation may be seen after eating, in hot weather, during
dentition (infatile diarrhoea) and in the mornings, there is by contrast an amelioration
in the evenings.
Apart from its effectiveness in chronic diarrhoea, by way of counterpoint action it is
also indicated – in low potency – in chronic constipation, especially if headaches
and distension are present. The stool is dry, difficult to pass, and there may be spasmodic
abdominal pain and rectal prolapse. There may also be jaundice, with irritability
and a bilious temperament.
Apart from characteristic biliary complaints with flatulence and congestion in the
portal system and a desire to rub the liver-area, pancreatic illnesses, as already mentioned,
are also typical of Podophyllum, although these are mostly difficult to diagose
and are usually combined with liver and biliary illnesses. There may also be
haemorrhoids (especially in pregnancy), and also a prolapse of the womb with bearing-
down sensations in the intestines.
There are also characteristic drawing and tearing pains in the right ovary, extending
down the right thigh to the knee.
Podophyllum’s characteristic conditions can affect the whole of the gastrointestinal
tract from the mouth (dental caries) to the anus, foetid stools being typical, as well
as a feeling of abdominal weakness, as though everything would fall out, associated
with rumbling and borborygmi in the colon and tremendous weakness after diarrhoea.
In chronic diarrhoea, apart from Mercurius Sublimatus Corrosivus, Podophyllum
shold particularly be borne in mind and, in extreme chronicity in the elderly, also
Phosphoricum Acidum. However, Podophyllum is also indicated in diarrhoea during
dentition, with mucous, green evacuations, cramps, gnashing of gums, screaming
and whimpering during sleep.
The tongue is usually flaccid, whitish-yellow, showing imprints of the teeth (cf. Mercurius).
There may also be renal pain with urging to urinate and anuria, likewise pyelitis with
renal gravel and enuresis.
Palpitations and stabbing in the praecordium are also typical of Podophyllum, with a
sensation as if the heart were rising up into the throat (cf. Glonoinum). There may be
pulsation in the temporal arteries, and a numbing headache with vertigo.
Nash draws attention to the copiousness of the stools and the foetor of the movement
as main symptoms, likewise the aggravation in the morning, in hot weather and during
dentition.
496
Boericke characterises the symptoms of Podophyllum Peltatum above all as a gastroenteritis
with colicky pain and vomiting of bile, copious, abundant, painless stools
with jelly-like mucus, gushing out and smelling offensive. Also in the picture of
Podophyllum there are numerous complaints during pregnancy, as well as a relaxation
of the abdomen after delivery.
A further characteristic of Podophyllum is said to be a rolling of the head from side
to side, associated with passing stools and vomiting with the eyelids half-closed, the
child sweating on the head during sleep.
Podophyllum is a remedy of limited therapeutic range, but of great importance in
gastro intestinal and biliary illnesses, and particularly in pancreatic conditions and in
cancer.
As it is very likely that the pancreas plays a part – the exact nature of which is not
yet known – in the genesis of neoplasms, Podophyllum may well have relationships
to cancer-therapy. A possible example would be a case where, following hysterectomy
on account of cervical cancer, the now lapsed germino-dermal excretory process
of menstruation is vicariously replaced by colitis with a tendency towards excretion
of bloody, mucous and possibly membranous masses, after possible radiotherapy,
creating a site of least resistance in the lower intestinal sections. This condition requires
Podophyllum, or a combination-remedy containing it.
If we now sum up the main symptoms of Podophyllum, the result is the following
typical remedy-picture: - Dyspepsia. Teething complaints, burning of the tongue, gastritis with sour eructations,
nausea and vomiting or empty retching. Distension with borborygmi moving
from place to place. - Liver and gall-bladder involvement. Must rub the liver area.
- Acute and chronic pancreatitis with copious, foetid and spluttering diarrhoea,
particularly in the morning, driving one out of bed. - Constipation alternating with diarrhoea. External and internal haemorrhoids. Rectal
prolapse before or during stool. - Pain in the right ovary and the uterus, extending down into the right thigh. Postpartum
uterine prolapse, especially after exertion. Possible headache, renal affections,
palpitations. - Aggravation first thing in the morning, in hot weather and during dentition.
- Anti-neoplastic Reversal-effect in cancer and in mucous and ulcerative colitis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Podophyllum peltatum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for podophyllum: disorders of the hepatobiliary system; condition after
gallbladder surgery; diarrhoea with vomiting; prolapsed rectum; prolapse of the
uterus; teething complaints.

Procaine has been in use as a local anaesthetic for many decades and, on the basis
of the results of research by Prof. Aslan (Bucharest), has also been used in the treatment
of geriatric illness. Hunecke discovered the so-called “seconds phenomenon”
which appeared when it was applied neurally, e.g. by injection into scar-tissue, segmental
interference-fields, tonsils, etc. The effect is interpreted as repolarisation of
the cell membrane, and can be characterised by spectacular results, i.e. immediate
and complete disappearance of pain etc., possibly permanently. This preparation
should be used at least in all cases of pain and neural affections, neural interferencefields,
etc., in the form of an injection, usually a 1% solution corresponding to a 2X
potency.
Prostata Suis – Prostate Gland
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the prostate glad obtained from
healthy pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Hypertrophy of the prostate. Disorders of micturition and potency. Premature ageing.
Marasmus and cachexia.
Proteus see Bacterium Proteus
Psorinum Nosode – Nosode of Scabies
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the purulent serous content of
scabious pustules obtained from human skin.
After a homoeopathic proving, the Psorinum nosode was introduced into the homoeopathic
Materia Medica by Hering in 1833/34 – the first nosode to be so included.
Chronic and acute eczemas with violent itching, especially at night, are typical of
Psorinum, the itching being relieved by scratching until it bleeds. Other skin
dyscrasias also respond well to intercurrent doses of Psorinum.
500
A striking feature of the general symptomatology is the offensive exterior, and an
unpleasant, musty, typical body-odour which reminds one of un-aired beds, as well as
an abnormal sensitivity to cold, hypotension and a sad, desperate mental disposition.
Psorinum patients are usually lean or emaciated, have a wrinkled skin, always
look dirty and are wary of water and draughts. In his lecture to the Homotoxicology
Society (see “Homotoxin-Journal” 7, 138–139 [1968]), Dr. Julian characterised the
illness of Marcel Proust, the well-known French writer, as a typical Psorinum state.
Particularly prominent were the peevish, irritable nature, the hypersensitivity to
noise, the search for solitude and the absolute pessimism with fear of the future.
The Psorinum patient shivers even in hot weather and wears several layers of
woollens; he shivers at the slightest draught (cf. Silicea).
The memory is tremendously reduced, with fixed or bizarre ideas, considerable
physical weakness with no energy to work, the Psorinum-type being characterised
by offensive skin eruptions, profuse sweating and dry, dirty, wrinkled skin, general
predominating despair of ever recovering from his illness; and then, shortly afterwards,
like the manic-depressive, he may be bubbling over with gaiety.
The misanthropy with an inferiority complex is intensified by the sensitivity of the
head to cold and the consequent occipital or frontal headache and migraines; these
attacks are ameliorated by eating and keeping the head warm, and possibly also by
epistaxis (like Melilotus). In the middle of the night the patient may have to get up
owing to ravenous hunger, having been woken by fearful dreams of dangers. Anxious
children may scream all through the night.
As with Medorrhinum, the picture may be complicated by chronic coryza with
nasal congestion and post-nasal discharge, and also with anosmia and enlarged adenoids;
there may also be hay fever, and possibly asthma, in vicariation with eczema.
The picture may also be complicated by expectoration of cheese-like masses of
unpleasant taste and smell, sticky mucus on the palate, associated with a continual
need to clear the throat, hypertrophy of the tonsils and ear-pains on swallowing;
likewise a dry cough with laboured expectoration of yellowish-green mucus with a
salty taste, mainly in the winter, dyspnoea with a sensation of ulceration behind the
sternum and asthma which is worse in cold surrounding and in the winter (alternating
with eczema).
The hypotension and weakness of the heart is also seen in the dyspnoea, which
even occurs after a short walk, being better when lying horizontally and worse in a
standing or sitting position. The pulse may be rapid and irregular.
Dr. Hoffmann (Stuttgart) has been able to confirm the favourable action of Psorinum
on the heart. (Homotoxin-Journal 4, 208–210 [1965].)
As in Medorrhinum, there is a tendeny to weep at every opportunity, and stomatitis,
aphthae with periodontitis, looseness of the teeth and swollen gums which bleed
easily may also be present.
There is also a typical aversion to pork, and gastritis with sour eructations
smelling of rotten eggs. There may be diarrhoea with violent urging. The stools are
putrid, dark-coloured, spluttering and foetid. At night an involuntary stool may pass,
and on the other hand even a soft stool may only be passed with the utmost effort.
501
In the genito-urinary system too the Psorinum picture contains similar symptoms
to those of Medorrhinum. Incomplete emptying of the bladder with urine remaining
is typical of Psorinum, as is a foetid discharge of prostatic fluid from the urethra,
staining the underclothes yellow, and in women there is leucorrhoea with congealed
lumps which smell rotten, accompanied by sacral pain and general weakness.
The bad body-odour is particularly marked on the genitalia, in spite of the utmost
cleanliness. Arising from this, apart from an aversion to the opposite sex, there are
often also frigidity, depression and apathy during the menses, and painful breasts
with itching, irritated nipples.
As with Natrum Carbonicum, the joints may give way easily, and a tendency to
sprains may also be characteristic of Psorinum, as may foot-sweat and shaking of
the hands.
According to Julian, there is a wide variety of relationships with well known polychrests,
such as:
Arsenicum Album (complaints and restlessness at night, fear of death, desquamating
skin eruptions);
Hepar Sulphuris (odour of old cheese, aggravation from cold. Suppurations, peevish,
grumpy mood);
Petroleum (aggravation in winter and from travelling by car, ship, train, aeroplane
etc., diarrhoea during the daytime, dry skin with cracks and oozing eruptions, moist
genitalia with offensive sweat);
Silicea (hypersensitivity to cold, tendency to suppurations and asthenia, chronic
headaches and foot-sweat);
Sulphur, which is the most closely related remedy as regards discharges, burning
of the skin, eruptions, vicarious conditions and general chronicity.
There are relationships with Thuja by virtue of the bad mood, sadness, morning
diarrhoea, general weakness of limbs, sticky sweat and offensive odour of the genitalia.
There are relationships with Tuberculinum by virtue of the general irritability with
changeable, variable pains which move about the body, morning diarrhoea and perspiration
on the least exertion.
According to Kent (quoted by Julian: “Materia Medica of the Nosodes”, Haug,
Heidelberg), Tuberculinum or Bacillinum should be prescribed if Psorinum does not
act.
If all the symptoms of Psorinum are summed up, the result is the following typical
remedy-picture: - Chronic diseases and states placing a profound strain on the constitution.
- Emotional lability. Depression. Catatonia and schizophrenia. Migraines and intransigent
neuralgias. - Blepharitis, conjunctivitis, chronic ophthalmia and chronic, foetid otorrhoea.
- Chronic coryza. Hay fever. Adenoidal growths. Bronchial asthma. Bronchiectasis
and chronic bronchitis, especially in the winter. - Hypotension with weakness and a cyanotic face, irregular pulse, amelioration
from lying down horizontally.
502 - Aphthous stomatitis. Pharyngitis. Periodontitis. Ravenous hunger. Diarrhoea.
Atonic constipation. - Nocturnal enuresis. Chronic urethritis. Urine remaining after urination in prostatic
illness. Endometritis. Loss of libido and potency. - Subluxations and sprains, with joints giving way easily. Chronic rheumatic illnesses.
- Chronic eczema, impetigo and all kinds of skin eruptions, asthma alternating with
eczema, also psoriasis, boils, acne, seborrhoea, etc. Pruritus relieved by scratching
until it bleeds.
Julian quotes from Hahnemann’s “Chronic Diseases”, saying that, apart from a
nosode, a whole series of remedies come into consideration in the treatment of
psora, such as Nitricum Acidum, Ammonium Carbonicum, Baryta Carbonica, Calcium
Carbonicum, Carbo Animalis, Carbo Vegetabilis, Causticum, Conium,
Graphites, Iodum, Kali Carbonicum, Lycopodium, Magnesium, Magnesium Muriaticum,
Natrum Carbonicum, Natrum Muriaticum, Petroleum, Phosphorus, Sepia,
Silicea, Sulphur and Zincum.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Psorinum-Nosode, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for psorinum: various chronic skin diseases; chronic mucosal inflammations,
especially of the respiratory organs; conditions of weakness, especially after
severe diseases; headaches; emotional discord or upset.

Problems with an apical focus. Bad dental development. Periodontitis. Caries.
503
Pulsatilla – Wind Flower/Meadow Anemone
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant, gathered while in flower,
of Pulsatilla pratensis Miller, which occurs in the mountains of Europe and Russia.
N.O. Ranunculaceae.
The tincture prepared from the Wind Flower, Pulsatilla Pratensis, contains protoanemonin
(an antibiotic substance), tannin, resin and saponin, and shows typical
therapeutic indications, which cover both psychic and somatic symptoms. All complaints
are aggravated by warmth in any form, and are ameliorated by coolness and
moving about in the fresh air. The aggravation of the complaints tends to occur in
the evening, both before and after the menses, all the symptoms being very changeable.
Generally the mood is weepy, with a mild, shy nature, and there may be vertigo
with a tendency to vomit and aggravation when lying down. The headache changes
position rapidly and is better from pressure. The eyelids are often inflamed and itching,
with lachrymation. The external auditory canal may also be swollen and inflamed,
as may the nasal mucosa, with loss of the sense of smell. The lower lip is
often cracked. Drawing and jerking is felt in the teeth, as if a nerve were being
pulled and then let go again; this is especially bad at night and in a warm room, with
pains extending to the ear, eye and temple.
There are also important symptoms with respect to the alimentary canal, beginning
with loss of taste, or a putrid, slimy, rancid taste, or a taste of blood. The tongue
is coated whitish, or with white mucus, the patient being thirsty but maintaining
that he can discipline himself not to drink. Fatty and acid foods usually disagree, or
are vomited hours after eating. There is a sensation of fullness, pressure and heaviness,
as if there were a stone in the stomach, or as if an apple were lodged underneath
the sternum. The stools may be changeable, but are particularly thin and mucous,
alternating between diarrhoea and constipation, and there is a pinching pain in
the abdomen which persists after defaecation.
Pulsatilla is also indicated in many kinds of bladder problems, with tenesmus and
burning during urination, and with involuntary passage of urine on coughing, in
sleep or as a result of sudden shock. There is also an increase in libido, with erections
in the morning, and possibly pain and burning in the testes (e.g. also after recovery
from gonorrhoea).
The menses are usually scanty, arriving late or irregularly, the patients expressing
the feeling long beforehand that the period is about to arrive. There is also dysmenorrhoea
with bearing down.
Coughing also has a place in the Pulsatilla picture; it is particularly bad in a warm
room, hoarseness developing; it is loose in the morning with greenish-yellow expectoration,
and worse when lying down.
All of Pulsatilla’s complaints and pains with stabbing or pressure normally change
their location rapidly. The venous constitution is predominant with swelling of the
veins and a feeling of puffiness and heaviness all over the body. In the evening there
is an amelioration of the general state of health, with the exception of certain com-
504
plaints, whilst in the mornings a sleepy, irritable mood is uppermost, as in Nux Vomica.
In spite of the amelioration in fresh air, there is also a certain chilliness, especially
during pain.
There are typical partial sweats on one side of the body, the patients wishing to be
lightly clothed in spite of the chilliness.
Pulsatilla patients often complain of a feeling as if pus were concealed beneath
certain painful places. There are yellowish-green secretions – particularly in the
mornings – whilst in the evenings in many cases the discharges are of a thin, runny
consistency.
In the region of the heart there are frequent stabbing pains, associated with a sensation
of narrow-chestedness and with suffocative attacks, and there may be prickling
sensations all over the thorax.
Particularly in measles, for which Pulsatilla is one of the most important remedies,
there is catarrh in the larynx and air-passages, with violent scraping and scratching,
and coughing with tenacious mucus.
In general there are the following typical symptoms and indications: - Aggravation in a warm room and in hot weather; amelioration in fresh air and
walking about gently. In spite of chilliness wishes to wear light clothing.
Headache ameliorated in fresh air. Certain complaints are aggravated in the
evening, also before and after the menses. - Gastric catarrh with white coating of the tongue and the sensation of a stone in
the stomach, or as if an apple or crust of bread were lodged underneath the sternum.
Pappy or bloody taste in the mouth, especially in the morning. Measles,
bronchitis and broncho-pneumonia. Intolerance of fatty food (and pork). - Venous constitution. Vicarious bleeding (from the nose, instead of the menses).
- Rheumatic complaints and gouty diathesis with pains frequently changing location.
Gout in the left big toe. - Urticaria. Consequences of suppressed gonorrhea, or of suppressed leucorrhoea,
with orchitis or oophoritis. Chilblains. - Concomitant catarrh of the bladder with hypertrophy of the prostate.
- Ophthalmia after measles, especially when granulations are present. Blepharitis
and tendency to styes. Also otitis media with violent, stinging, pulsating pain. - Pulsatilla is usually indicated for female patients who are full of complaints and
can take an hour or more telling the doctor all about their problems, although objectively
nothing can be found.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Pulsatilla pratensis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for pulsatilla: skin diseases; varicose veins; inflammations of the respiratory
passages; tendency for the common cold; inflammations and disorders of the digestive
organs; digestive insufficiency; inflammations and disorders of the female

amara, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for quassia amara: hepatic diseases; digestive insufficiency.
Quebracho
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried bark of trunks and twigs of Aspidosperma
quebracho-blanco Schlecht., a native of South America. N.O. Apocynaceae.
The main indications are:
Bronchial asthma and asthmatic bronchitis with dyspnoea; also in emphysema
and catarrh of smokers.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German
Federal Gazette) for quebracho: chronic diseases of the respiratory passages, accompanied
by acute respiratory distress.
507
Ranunculus Bulbosus – Buttercup
The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant, gathered when in flower,
of Ranunculus bulbosus L., which occurs in Europe and North America.
N.O. Ranunculaceae.
Ranunculus Bulbosus, the buttercup, a member of the Ranunculaceae family, is
used to treat rheumatic and neuralgic symptoms, and likewise skin-eruptions, particularly
crops of vesicles which occur grouped closely together (herpes zoster with
burning and itching).
Attacks of vertigo, swimming in the head and a sensation of heaviness may also
be present, also stabbing, tearing headaches with congestion of blood, and burning
and itching of the eyelids with redness. There may be earaches deep in the ear and in
the area of the ear drum.
There are characteristic complaints in the chest muscles, with drawing pains in the
nape of the neck and in the axilla, bruised, sore pain in the sacrum, and soreness in
the right lower arm and small muscles of the hand, as well as a painful sensation of
jerking and tearing. There may also be blisters on the fingers; and drawing pains in
the hips and inner side of the knee and ankle, stabbing pulsations in the heel with a
clamping pain in the calf muscles, weakness and giving-way of the legs, and pain in
the heels as if from external pressure, which are all typical of Ranunculus.
There may also be coryza with a discharge of viscid mucus, and possibly ulceration
of the nasal mucosa with a painful red swelling of the tip of the nose, usually
accompanied by the characteristic chest complaints with shortness of breath and a
sense of construction, so that the patient has to hold the chest with his hands when
coughing (cf. Bryonia). Thus Ranunculus is also a good remedy in adhesions following
pleurisy.
Typical of Ranunculus are burning, pressing pains, and a bruised soreness which
is felt particularly in the left and right hypochondria. These may be accompanied by
gastric symptoms with purging, eructations and nausea, burning in the stomach, abdominal
rumbling and bleeding haemorrhoids, as well as erections and seminal
emissions in the early hours of the morning.
Thus Ranunculus Bulbosus is chiefly indicated in illnesses of a neuralgic or rheumatic
kind with spasmodic and paralytic symptoms, in gouty complaints, but also in
oozing eczemas and vesicular eruptions (as in herpes zoster, in pemphigus and particularly
in coryza with a red, swollen nose). Complaints are aggravated by change
of temperature and by damp weather. The skin eruptions are frequently also present
on the palms of the hands in the form of desquamating vesicular eruptions.
A summary provides us with the following remedy-picture: - Intercostal neuralgia and rheumatism of the chest muscles. Disc prolapse in the
area of the dorsal spine, but also generally. - Pleurisy, dry or with serous effusion, consequent adhesions and pleuritic complaints.
508 - Skin eruptions of a vesicular nature, particularly herpes zoster and pemphigus
(according to Dahlke, especially in children). Should also be tried as a supporting
remedy in epithelioma and skin cancer. Vesicular eruptions on the palms of the
hands. - Chronic rheumatism of the joints, and gouty symptoms.
- Acute excoriating coryza, possibly lasting for weeks, with a red, inflamed nose.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Ranunculus bulbosus, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for ranunculus bulbosus: virus diseases of the skin and the cornea; diseases
of the parietal pleura; rheumatism in the thoracic region; neuralgia.
Rauwolfia Serpentina – Snake-Root

The main indications are:
Intestinal tenesmus. Constipation. Insufficient elimination per rectum. Pre-cancerous
condition of the rectum. Diverticulitis. Carcinoma of the rectum and its preliminary
stage. Mucous colitis. Anal fissure.
509

cambium, of the plant Rheum officinale Baill., Rheum palmatum L. or hybrids of either,
which are present in China. N.O. Polygonaceae.
The main indications are:
Diarrhoea, sour, mucous, as if fermented. Anus sore and red. Tenesmus and cutting
pains in the abdomen. The child smells sour. Teething complaints with diarrhoea
(in summer).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Rheum, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for rheum:
diarrhoea; behavioural disorders among children; teething complaints.
510
Rhododendron – Yellow Snow-Rose
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried leaved twigs of the plant Rhododendron
campylocarpum Hook. f., Rhododendron chrysanthum Pall. and their hybrids
separately or in combination, which occurs in Siberia and Northern Russia. N.O.
Ericaceae.
This most important remedy produces a typical aggravation of all complaints in
windy weather, in wet, cold weather, particularly before rain begins to fall, but also
in other changes in the weather and before a thunderstorm.
Complaints occur periodically and frequently change their location. In the case of
pains in the limbs these frequently originate in small, circumscribed sites on the periosteum,
associated with drawing pain deep inside the bone, and possibly also with
paraesthesias and twitching sensations. They are accompanied by relaxation, a sore,
bruised feeling and lassitude after the slightest exertion.
Repeatedly one notices a striking sensitivity to cold and wind, and a resurgence of
complaints in rough, changeable weather.
Frequently there is an indifferent, cross or reluctant mood.
Rhododendron is required in many cases where there are tearing or jerking pains
in the face, or toothache which is better for warmth and may cease for one or two
hours after eating a meal.
Apart from the pains in bones, muscles and joints, heart complaints are also characteristic
of Rhododendron, the heart-beat often becoming stronger, in many cases
typified by an aggravation of complaints before a change occurs in the weather.
In Rhododendron there are also vesicular eruptions, as well as epididymitis and
pains in the testes, which feel as though they had been squashed; these symptoms
may also occur in the glans penis. Thus Rhododendron acts (alongside penicillin)
where there is a specific cause. It has also occasionally proved its worth in hydrocoele
of boys.
Since the nervous system is also affected, and disturbances of sleep were observed
during the provings, Rhododendron may also be used in sleeplessness, above all
when this has a rheumatic cause or is the result of rheumatic complaints occurring,
particularly if the patients cannot get to sleep because of physical restlessness.
In general Rhododendron is an anti-rheumatic, but it can be used where there are
gouty deposits, and particularly in primary chronic arthritis, for which it is one of the
chief remedies, especially where there is deformity of the small interphalangeal
joints. Rhododendron, apart from having an aggravation while at rest, which prevents
sleep, also has an amelioration from movement (cf. Rhus Toxicodendron).
Indeed, Rhododendron bears an uncommon similarity to Rhus Toxicodendron,
however the pains of Rhododendron are deeper, and localised in the periosteum.
A summary produces the following main symptoms: - Rheumatic remedy with a typical aggravation before rainy weather and changes
of weather in general.
511 - Aggravation of complaints at night and at rest; amelioration on continued movement.
The pains are located deeply, as if originating in the periosteum. - Special localisation (primary chronic polyarthritis) in the small joints (fingers).
Neuralgia in the arm. - Vesicular eruptions.
- Affections of the testes. Epididymitis. Neuralgia of the spermatic cord. Consequences
of gonorrhoea and syphilis (neural complications). - Heart complaints, with increased strength of the heart-beat, possibly associated
with feelings of anxiety, and with aggravation before a change in the weather. - Tearing, jerking pains in the face, resulting from toothache, ameliorated after eating
and by warmth.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Rhododendron, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
rhododendron: rheumatism; neuralgia; orchitis.
Rhus Toxicodendron – Poison Oak
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh young leaved shoots of the plant Toxicodendron
quercifolium (Michx.) Greene, a native of North America and Eastern
Asia. N.O. Anacardiaceae.
Rhus Toxicodendron contains rhoitannic acid and the sap, urushiol, is a strong
skin irritant. It also contains the dye fisetin, and rhamnose.
In Rhus Toxicodendron we see typical complaints and typical aggravations which
make it one of the most important anti-rheumatic remedies. The complaints are
worse at rest and on first movement. They are better for continued movement. There
is also a tpyical aggravation of the complaints from cold, damp weather and from
becoming thoroughly wet, and also at night and from over-exertion.
In the provings of Rhus Toxicodendron we have a multiplicity of symptoms,
which not only suggest a rheumatic origin, but also are characteristic of a wide variety
of inflammations. Thus we have the symptom: “Mentally confused, understands
with difficulty and replies slowly, is absent-minded”. There may possibly be shivering
and a sensation of pressure behind the eyes, and possibly also a numbing
headache, as if there were a plank in front of the forehead, amelioration coming
from movement and warmth. There is also a sensation in the head as though the
brain were loose, particularly on ascending or on shaking the head. The scalp may
be sensitive, particularly on the side on which one is not lying. In the eyes there may
be violent conjunctivitis with severe photophobia, spasmodic closing of the lids and
excoriating tears, giving rise to pimples on the cheeks. The tip of the nose may be
red and sensitive, in many cases with a greenish-yellow, offensive nasal discharge.
512
There may also be cold-sores around the mouth, and pains in the bones of face and
cheeks, as well as wandering toothache, which is better from pressure of the hand.
The tongue has a typical appearance in Rhus Toxicodendron; dry, red and fissured,
possibly coated yellowish with a red triangle at the tip. Or there may be a
mapped tongue (cf. Arsenicum Album, Taraxacum). There may also be stomatitis
with bloody saliva which runs from the mouth during sleep. There may be gastroenteritis
with watery, bloody, mucous stools and tenesmus, and also a tormenting, dry
cough with bloody, purulent sputum.
There are also palpitations in the picture of Rhus Toxicodendron with a rapid
weak, irregular and fluttering pulse. The slightest exertion may be followed by a
feeling of weakness in the heart, associated with palpitations. Also characteristic of
Rhus Toxicodendron are fissures on the back of the hand and violent itching on the
lower leg, possibly also an eruption like measles all over the body, or a vesicular
eruption (herpes), and also a crusty eruption on the head. Spasmodic yawning may
also be an indication for Rhus Toxicodendron.
Nash gives as the main symptoms of Rhus Toxicodendron the restlessness and the
aggravation on first movement with amelioration on continued motion, and also disturbances
of consciousness such as occur in febrile conditions, e.g. dysentery, peritonitis,
pneumonia, scarlatina, rheumatism, diphtheria, and other febrile illnesses,
for which otherwise Baptisia and Arnica might be considered. Nash considers the
cough during the chill of malaria to be typical, likewise erysipelatous eruptions of a
vesicular nature with restlessness and consciousness symptoms such as occur in poisoning
with Rhus Toxicodendron, and are also characteristic of many forms of scarlet
fever. Rhus Toxicodendron is particularly indicated when the eruptions are
bluish-grey in colour, e.g. in smallpox, and thus it is one of the main remedies for
herpes zoster.
However, Rhus Toxicodendron is also valuable in chronic skin diseases and especially
in eczema with vesicle formation, but also in all chronic inflammations of a
dark red colour. Rhus Toxicodendron may be used in parotitis, mastitis, phlebitis,
whitlow, and orbital cellulitis, also in other inflammations of the connective tissue
and the periosteum, in furunculosis, appendicitis, peritonitis and carbuncles. It may
also be used in the abdominal symptoms of typhus and pneumonia, and particularly
in influenzal conditions with very painful limbs, especially if there is a recent history
of rheumatic symptoms or of having been wet-through.
Rhus Toxicodendron is also indicated in myelitis with paresis, particularly after
lying on wet ground or becoming chilled after profuse sweating (sports) with paraesthesias
in the affected limbs, or in ptosis with the same aetiology. Rhus Toxicodendron
is also of assistance in conjunctivitis, especially the tubercular variety, and in
serious cases of keratitis, and possibly also when attempts to open the eyelids are accompanied
by a thick, purulent discharge with welling up of tears. Rhus Toxicodendron
is also a main remedy for facial and frontal impetigo, if there is violent itching.
It is the main remedy for eruptions on the genitalia and on the scrotum, in erysipelas,
in pruritus vulvae, in pemphigus and particularly in herpes zoster, but it may likewise
be given for cardiac hypertrophy, particularly in sports-people.
513
If we now put together the main symptoms of Rhus Toxicodendron, we arrive at

Rubella Nosode – Nosode of German Measles
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from rubella vaccine.
Rubella (“German measles”) has gained in importance in recent decades with the
knowledge that infection of the mother during the first three months of pregnancy
can result in damage to the foetus in the form of congenital heart disease, with possible
deafness and blindness.
Rubella is caused by infection with the rubella virus, (with some 2–3 weeks’ incubation
period and then a rash similar to that of measles, or in some cases similar to
scarlet fever), but without any notably serious complaints apart from swelling of the
cervical glands and mild changes in the state of the blood.
Thus the Rubella Nosode could be used in peripheral swellings of the lymph
glands, especially those near the mastoid process, in the occipital and posterior cervical
region, and those, especially on the left side, which extend along the edge of
the sternocleidomastoid like a string of pearls, and also those in the axilla and in the
crease of the elbow and inguinal area.
Also when large lymphocytes are found in the blood, and the so-called “wheel-nucleus”
lymphocytes (i.e. those with nuclear chromatin arranged like the spokes of a
wheel), and plasma cells (i.e. usually lymphocytes: cells with particularly thick protoplasm
which colours dark blue under the usual stain), one should think of Rubella
Nosode, and also if women succumb to any kind of infectious diesease in the first
three months of pregnancy.
Since, after the mother has had Rubella, anomalies of the lens are found in the embryo,
the Rubella Nosode could also be tried in cataract, likewise in deafness, if no
pathogenetic cause can be found.
Rubidium Muriaticum – Rubidium Chloride
The attenuations are prepared from Rubidium chloride, RbCl, MW: 120.9.
Rubidium is one of the alkaline metals, which bear a greater mutual similarity
than the elements of any other group. Furthermore, their whole physical and chemical
behaviour is governed by their marked striving to form compounds.
In nature, on account of their great ability to react, the alkaline metals do not
occur as elements, but only as ions of oxidation-stage +1. Whereas sodium is the
most commonly occurring alkaline earth element and makes up some 2.6% of the
earth’s crust as an important compound of many silicates, Rubidium (and Caesium)
only occur in very small quantities, accompanying other alkaline metals.
Admittedly it is not yet proven whether and to what extent Rubidium may be defined
as a trace metal, insofar as symptoms of a trace element deficiency in the form
of a disease might occur if Rubidium were lacking. Rubidium’s position in the peri-
515
odic table of elements in the first group (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium
and francium) shows us what fundamental importance is accorded to the apparently
simplest natural mineral substances, to a certain extent the “proto-substances”
(Leeser) in the energy-relationships between the human psychosomatic unit
and the proto-substances or elements from which it is formed. The periodic table
was previously drawn up by Lothar Meyer and Mendeleyev taking into account the
elements then known according to their atomic weights. Now, following more recent
atomic research, the elemental table has been arranged so as to incorporate the additional
knowledge of their electron-structure.
It is known that, according to Bohr’s atomic model, atoms consist of positive nuclear
charges, around which negative electrons pass in one or more orbits. The periodic
number is determined by the number of orbits and electrons, the “number in the
order” being equal to the number of positive charges of the nucleus in question.
The chemical valency, i.e. the ability of the element to react chemically, is determined
by the atomic periphery, whilst on the other hand the internal autonomy of the
element is determined by the number and structure of the nuclear charges (Leeser).
The alkaline metals (elements in Group 1) show a lack of electrons (ion charge +1),
whilst the halogens (elements of Group 7) show a surplus of electrons (ion charge
–1).
Thus it will be understood that atoms of Groups 1 and 7 form compounds easily, in
order to balance their charges.
Leeser has set out the importance of the mineral remedies, not only of the basic
elements and the more complex elements, but also the relationship of these basic elements
to water, since this is of the greatest importance for their medicinal action.
Leeser sees in the position of the elements in the periodic table a possibility of arranging
the mineral remedies also in the seven main vertical groups. On the other
hand in the subsidiary groups the chemical valency recedes, and to compensate for
this, the physical structural or nuclear relationship assumes greater importance.
In compounds it will become clear that in some cases it is the cation and in others
the anion which carries the main medicinal action, whilst in others the emphases
may be equally shared.
In Rubidium Muriaticum, apart from the action of the Rubidium, that of the Chlorine
is also important. Whilst we cannot yet draw on the results of a proving to establish
any symptomatology, effects in keeping with those of a trace element are
likely. Thus Rubidium Muriaticum is found in combination preparations which may
be used to compensate for a trace element deficiency.

519
Sanguinaria – Blood-Root
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried underground parts collected in autumn
of the plant Sanguinaria canadensis L., which occurs in sparse woodlands of
North America, from Canada to Florida and Mexico. N.O. Papaveraceae.
Sanguinaria Canadensis gives a red tincture which has a burning, acrid taste. It is
commonly used in America as a domestic remedy, also in the form of a tea prepared
from the root. Kent describes Sanguinaria as a routine remedy for colds, because the
provings gave extensive confirmation of Sanguinaria’s relationship to chest complaints
and colds. There are typical violent pains and burning in the mouth, chest,
larynx and trachea when speaking, coughing and breathing, aggravated at night, and
the patients are unable to lie in a cold room. A typical symptom is the eructation during
or after coughing, and during chest complaints there is frequently heat in the
palms of the hands and soles of the feet, and a circumscribed hectic redness of the
cheeks.
A sensation of burning runs through the whole remedy, so that Arsenicum is often
prescribed in such cases but fails to work because of the imprecise indications. This
burning also occurs in the stomach, associated with nausea, the patient continually
needing to vomit. However, vomiting brings no relief. This sensation of dry burning
is also particularly marked on the tongue, which is fiery-red with a feeling as if
there were hot food in the mouth.
The feeling of burning soreness also appears in hay fever, the burning in the nose
and throat being so marked that there is a sensation as if the mucous membranes
were cracking from drying out. In such states one may in fact find dry, wrinkled, hot
palms, possibly associated with congestive headaches, with a hot, painful head especially
on the right side.
The Sanguinaria headache is a typical migraine above the right eye. It begins in
the morning in the occiput, moves upwards and settles above the right eye and in the
right temple, the pain being aggravated by light and during the day. There is an amelioration,
dependent on vomiting of bile, mucus, bitter masses and food, and also
from discharge of flatus and from eructation (regressive vicariation into the excretion
phases). General experience has shown, however, that Sanguinaria alone is not
sufficient as a remedy for migraine; it must be supported by deeply acting detoxifying
remedies, and especially liver remedies, such as Chelidonium, or by nosodes
such as Psorinum and others.
The headaches, which are pulsating and aggravated by movement (cf. Bryonia),
may possibly also be accompanied by other neuralgic complaints, which manifest
themselves above all in the right shoulder and neck areas. The patient cannot raise
the arm and has pains in the deltoid muscle, aggravated particularly at night. Sanguinaria
is also recommended in gout of the hip with sore, bruised pain and in stiffness
of the wrists.
Certain Sanguinaria symptoms are often found in the menopause, viz. hectic redness
of the cheeks and excessive heat, burning in the skin and mucosa; so that San-
520
guinaria may also be successfully used for hot flushes. The action of Sanguinaria
here, as is generally the case in other indications also, is comparatively fleeting. Either
the doses must be repeated quite frequently or else another supporting remedy is
required. Thus the burning of the soles of the feet and palms of the hands, forcing
the patient to stick the limbs, especially the feet, out of the bed, usually suggests Sulphur
and Sepia; the thick, viscous, stringy expectoration with spastic coughing, accompanied
by eructations of air and empty eructations, burning in the chest, violent
pains in the larynx and trachea on speaking may possibly call for Coccus Cacti; and
descending catarrhs also require Arum Maculatum.
When Sanguinaria is used against nasal polypi, when it is likewise capable of very
good results, a constitutional remedy such as Calcium Carbonicum should also be
prescribed, whilst in influenzal, feverish catarrhal conditions, in addition to Aconitum,
Bryonia, Eupatorium Perfoliatum and others, the typical descending burning
sensation in all the mucosa of the respiratory tract should bring Causticum to mind;
this remedy also has tearing pains in the limbs as a particular feature of its picture.
Sanguinaria is especially indicated when there is coryza with a rough throat, pains in
the chest and diarrhoea.
We may mention one or two more particular symptoms, especially a feeling of
weakness and hunger during headache, and a sensation of destruction and emptiness
during migraines; these are referred to by Kent. However, in contrast to Psorinum
there is simultaneously an aversion to food – even the mere thought of it – and to the
smell of cooked food.
Sanguinaria can also develop a similar action to that of Nux Vomica in gastric catarrhs
of drinkers, particularly when very small amounts of fluid are vomited and
neither food nor drink remains in the stomach (cf. Phosphorus) and when possibly
headache and diarrhoea are present simultaneously. When coughing the patient often
complains of pains in the left hypochondrium, likewise when this area is being palpated
and on bending to the left.
Stauffer reports that Sanguinaria has seldom produced the results which he expected
of it in headaches. This can be confirmed, insofar as lasting results from Sanguinaria
are rare unless supporting remedies are prescribed at the same time.
Stauffer recommends Sanguinaria in the typical right-sided pneumonia, particularly
in the lower lobes, where Sanguinaria rivals Chelidonium.
Burning in the anus with dryness and soreness fits the general picture of the mucosa
being affected; in the same way the trachea feels sore and so does the oesophagus, so
that every bolus hurts as it passes down and the patient can say exactly in which area it
is situated at that point in time.
Sanguinaria (in the 30X) has served the author well in many a case of bronchiectasis
with tough, thick, offensive expectoration, usually associated with hectic flushing of
the cheeks; however, in such cases there must be strict abstention from sutoxins (pigmeat).
Obviously in the case of bronchiectasis it is a question of a site of least resistance
(following retoxic treatment of influenzal bronchitis), which is then used as an
elimination-route all the time for intermediary homotoxins introduced in the food and
otherwise, particularly through sutoxins.
521
If the symptoms of Sanguinaria are summed up, the result is the following typical
remedy-picture: - Predominantly right-sided remedy: right-sided headache of a migrainous type,
right-sided pneumonia (of lower lobe). - All mucosa affected by burning catarrhs. Coryza. Pharyngitis. Tracheitis. Nasal
polypi. Bronchitis with tough, thick mucus. Bronchiectasis with spastic cough. Hay
fever with burning in the nose and in the throat. Burning gastric pains after over-eating
and consumption of alcohol. General acridity of discharges. - Heat in the feet and the skin. Hot flushes in the head, possibly with pulsation and
palpitation throughout the body and circumscribed red patches (hectic flush) on the
cheeks. - Migrainous headaches, especially on the right side with a feeling of hunger, yet
with simultaneous aversion to eating and the smell of cooked food. - Simultaneous stomach and liver complaints with sour eructations in asthma, hay
fever, headaches, etc. Tendency to diarrhoea in catarrhal illnesses of all kinds. - Rheumatic complaints, particularly in the arms (primarily the right one) with aggravation
at night. Hip-pain (coxalgia), especially at night with shooting, stabbing
pains. Accompanying anxious and worried mood, possibly also irascible, peevish
and impatient. - Sanguinaria has a comparatively superficial action, although bringing speedy relief;
for the permanent removal of chronic conditions it needs to be accompanied by a
suitable constitutional remedy, Calcium Carbonicum, Sepia, Sulphur, Phosphorus,
Thuja, Psorinum, Mercurius compounds and others being possibilities.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Sanguinaria canadensis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for sanguinaria: inflammation of the respiratory organs; menopausal complaints;
rheumatism.
Sanguinarinum Nitricum
The attenuations are prepared from the mixture of alkaloids from the underground
parts of Sanguinaria canadensis L., where the alkaloids are present as nitric acid
salts.
The main indications are:
Chronic mucous polypi in the nose. Enlarged adenoids. Bronchiectasis. Acne vulgaris.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Sanguinarinum nitricum
crudum, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (Ger-
522
man Federal Gazette) for sanguinarinum nitricum: inflammations of the respiratory
passages.
Sanguis Suis – Blood
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from fresh blood, removed from
healthy pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Generally in dyscrasias, severe homotoxic states and at the commencement of
courses of detoxifying treatment.
This sarcode should be interpolated in all degeneration phases at definite intervals
(every 1–2–3 weeks or so) in the biotherapeutic treatment otherwise being given,
since the blood, as the great conveyor-belt, also transports numerous homotoxins
which, by the Reversal effect, also develop antihomotoxic therapeutic action.
Thus additional indications are: Leukaemia. Agranulocytosis. Anaemia. Allergic
states. Skin diseases. Metabolic illnesses, particularly diabetes mellitus and arteriosclerosis,
also cholesterolaemia, polycythaemia rubra vera and Simmonds’
cachexia.
Saponaria – Soap Root
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried root of the plant Saponaria officinalis
L., which occurs in Europe, Asia and North America. N.O. Caryophyllaceae.
The action of Saponaria may be attributed to the saponins Saporubrin and
Saporubrinic acid, which it contains.
Saponaria is used where there is an indifferent, apathetic temperament, and also in
depressive states with sleeplessness, and when there are stabbing pains above the
eye-sockets, worse on the left side, on movement and towards evening. There may
also be throbbing above the eyes with congestion of blood in the head and a feeling
of weariness in the neck, prickling in the eyeballs, ciliary neuralgia, photophobia
and increased intraocular pressure. The symptoms might make us think of Saponaria
in the kind of preliminary stages or complaints which are found in glaucoma.
Otherwise included in the symptomatology are difficulties in swallowing, nausea,
heartburn, and a sensation of fullness in the stomach which is not relieved by eructations.
Palpitations with a slow pulse and anxiety-states may also be an indication
for Saponaria, whilst otherwise it is almost exclusively used in the treatment of acute
colds, coryza and throat pains, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and laryngitis.
523
If Saponaria is used in combination-remedies, this is because of a certain bloodcleansing
action which Saponaria, as an old folk medicine, is supposed to have. It facilitates
the elimination of homotoxins which have been freed through harmless catarrhal
symptoms such as an acute cold, or in serious cases tonsillitis. Saponaria
then compensates for this by inhibiting inflammation in a biological way by changing
the homotoxic “soil”.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Saponaria officinalis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for saponaria: headaches and eye aches.
Sarsaparilla – Smilax
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried root of the plants Smilax regelii Kill.
et C.V. Morton and Smilax medica Schlechtend. et Cham. or other related species,
all of which occur in Central America. N.O. Liliaceae.
The main indications are:
Finger-tips as if ulcerated. Urinary gravel. Dribbling of urine when sitting. An increasing
pain on micturition (strangury), dying away as soon as the urine has been
passed. (Opposite of Cantharis.)
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Smilax, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for sarsaparilla:
pruritic skin diseases; inflammations and irritations of the urinary organs;
rheumatism.
Saxifraga – Saxifrage
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Saxifraga
granulata L. N.O. Saxifragaceae.
The main indications are:
Problems arising from calculi. Left-sided renal calculi.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Saxifraga granulata, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for saxifraga: nephrolithiasis.
524
Scilla – Sea-Onion / Squill
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh, flashy bulb scales of the red variety of
the plant Urginea maritima (L.), which occurs in the Mediterranean countries. N.O.
Liliaceae.
The main indications are:
Laryngeal and bronchial catarrhs with difficult expectoration. Pleurisy with effusion.
Oedema in heart and kidney disease. Tenesmus of the bladder. Strangury.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Urginea maritima var. rubra,
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for scilla: cardiac insufficiency; disorders in voiding from the urinary
bladder; common cold.
Scrophularia Nodosa – Knotted Figwort
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts, gathered before flowering,
of Scrophularia nodosa L., a native of Europe, Asia and North America.
N.O. Scrophulariaceae.
The main indications are:
Breast tumours. Tubercular eye problems. Eczema. Supporting remedy in neoplasm
phases.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Scrophularia nodosa, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for scrophularia nodosa: general weakness and debilitation; hardening of
the glands; rectal inflammation, crusta lactea.
Secale Cornutum – Ergot of Rye
The mother tincture is prepared from carefully dried ergot, a poisonous fungus
which is growing on rye throughout Europe: Claviceps purpurea (Fries) Tulasne.
N.O. Clavicipitaceae.
The tincture of ergot, gathered just before harvesting, contains as active
ingredients several alkaloids, such as ergometrine, ergotamine, ergosine, agroclavine,
xanthone derivates, including, among others, secalonic acid, ergoflavin and
525
anthracene derivates e.g. clavorubine and endocrocine as well as amines, also fatty
oil, phosphates, potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium.
The acute poisoning symptoms present as headache with enlargement of the
pupils, abdominal pain, depressed pulse rate, nausea, retching, vomiting a sensation
of increased warmth in the stomach, and salivation. Animal experiments produced
negative results, however.
Typical of the longer-term action of Secale is the subcutaneous sensation of crawling,
ergotism, raphania, and also gangrene, “ergotismus gangrenosus”, in which
there may be a preponderance of nervous symptoms such as lassitude, vertigo,
crawling under the skin, formication and convulsive twitching alternating with spasmodic
contractions of individual areas of muscle, and later possibly amaurosis, or
else the tendency towards gangrene may predominate, primarily in the lower limbs,
but also in the upper limbs and the nose. Glaucoma may also occur.
Apart from drowsiness with anxious dreams, there is usually a tendency towards
despondency, depressive sadness, and melancholia with episodes of insanity and
frenzy.
On the skin there are sensations of prickling and formication, with pains below the
skin moving like lightning, the skin being withered, pale, cool and shrivelled, and
possibly displaying anaesthesia when pricked, there being a certain emptiness of
the capillaries. (Wounds do not bleed.) However, petechiae in the capillaries, ecchymoses
in the mucosa, cynaosis of various parts with purple eruptions and burn-blisters,
and ulcers discharging pus may all be prominent.
The emotional and intellectual functions are particularly disordered. Predominant
symptoms include difficulty in thinking and speaking, deficient understanding and
comprehension, a certain dullness of intellect, great forgetfulness and weakness of
reason with sensory delusions, even madness and delirium, which may reach the
point of true insanity.
There is congestion of blood in the head with attacks of vertigo and a state as of
intoxication or narcosis, with staggering and an inability to stand upright.
The head is heavy, with a pulsating sensation and a dull headache. The facial features
are sunken, and show a pale, yellowish colouration, or else the face may be
dark red with a sensation of heat, and possibly with lockjaw.
The eyelids may swell up, with either contraction or enlargement of the pupils (according
to the dosage), and diplopia, strabismus, visual disturbance with sparks,
spots or mistiness, or total paralysis of the sense of sight may occur.
In the ears there are roaring and rushing noises with hearing-impairment. Symptoms
of meningism may occur, with stiffness of the neck, muscular weakness and
periodic muscular pain with spasm and heaviness of the limbs and with drawing and
jerking pains. There may also be cramps, twitching and trembling of the limbs, or
rigidity and stiffness of the limbs and joints, associated with anaesthesia and a sensation
of numbness, crawling and formication, coldness and paralysis of the limbs,
contractures with tetany of fingers and toes, cramps in the calf muscles, and also
gangrene of the hands and feet.
526
There are spasmodic palpitations, possibly with initial hesitation in the heart-contraction;
the pulse is often small, frequent and misses beats, and there is burning internal
heat with great thirst and anxiety, general cold, sticky sweat, and also constriction
of the chest, air-hunger, and possibly haemoptysis or epistaxis.
In the digestive tract there is salivation, a creeping sensation of the tongue with
burning and dryness in the gullet, an unaccustomed and scarcely quenchable thirst,
possibly with extraordinary, ravenous hunger which, however, is impaired by eructation
of unpleasantly-smelling gas, by heartburn, disgust for food, nausea, vomiting
of mucus, bile, worms or small quantities of food (without loss of appetite), by
pressing, cramping pains in the stomach with flatulent abdominal distension. There
may be tenesmus without evacuation, or else exhausting diarrhoea and involuntary
passage of watery stools.
Also typical of Secale are difficulties in urination with burning in the urethra and
urine passed seldom and drop by drop; also a sensation of spasmodic drawing in the
spermatic cord, as if the testes were being drawn up towards the inguinal canal.
The menses may be absent, with violent contractions of the womb and intensified
labour-pains.
The main action of Secale Cornutum affects the peripheral circulation where gangrene
may develop – the “St. Anthony’s Fire” of the Middle Ages, when rye-bread
polluted with ergot was eaten.
A further characteristic of Secale is the impairment of the central emotional control
by the brain, distinguished by exaltation, dullness or insane excitement, corresponding
somewhat to the motivation of the “children’s crusades” of the Middle
Ages; or else the impairment of the autonomic central control, with spastic symptoms
developing in the whole abdomen and not least in the genitalia, particularly
characterised by a tonifying action on the uterus, in which area Secale has earned a
commanding position in post-partum haemorrhages.
If the main symptoms are summed up, the result is the following typical remedypicture: - Tendency to ward petechiae, ecchymoses, epistaxis, pulmonary haemorrhages,
uterine haemorrhages. - Sensation of numbness. Formication. Cramps and paralysis of the extremities.
Gangrene, especially in adipose diabetics. Intermittent claudication (“Smoker’s
leg”). Varicose ulcers. - States of cerebral excitement with Sydenham’s chorea, hysterical spasms with
maniacal states of excitement. - Stomach cramps, colics, exhausting diarrhoea, paralysis of the anal sphincter.
Greedy appetite with craving for sour food. Hiccoughs. Vomiting. Distension.
Stools as in cholera with icy coldness. Cannot bear to be covered up. Involuntary
stools with the anus remaining wide open. (Boericke). - Copious menses, also post-partum haemorrhage. Relaxation of the uterus. Seeping
haemorrhage from insufficiently contracted uterus post partum. When giving
doses of the fluid extract, observe Pagot’s rule, “So long as anything remains in
the uterus: child, placenta, afterbirth, do not give Secale!” (Boericke).
527 - Secale has a typical craving for the cold, and great, sometimes unquenchable
thirst. Nash also points out the important leading symptom: great objective coldness
of the body-surface, but the patient cannot bear to be covered up. This is
found in both cholera and gangrene, likewise the symptom: burning in all parts of
the body, as if sparks had fallen on them.

Selenium
The attenuations are prepared from amorphous Selenium, Se, AW: 79.0.
Selenium has similar effects to those of Sulphur, but they are directed more towards
the nervous system. There is characteristic general weakness, tiredness and
exhaustion after physical and mental exertion, with drowsiness, but at night only
light cat-naps, as in Sulphur. Hot weather is also debilitating. Sleep is not refreshing.
Alcohol consumption is particularly likely to have ill-effects, especially wine. Selenium
is also indicated for consequences of excessive tea-drinking.
Nervous exhaustion is characteristic, with forgetfulness and inability to cope with
mental work, which produces fatigue. There may also be pains in all the limbs, with
intolerance of draughts. Stabbing nervous headaches which increase with the heat of
the sun, hypersensitivity to smells, complaints which recur every afternoon, episodes
of vertigo and unsteadiness, possibly with symptoms of collapse, anxious sweating
528
and a pale, sunken face, nausea and vomiting, also after breakfeast and lunch; these
all respond to Selenium.
There may also be an enlargement of the liver with loss of appetite and tongue
coated white, also with itching in the region of the liver and in folds of the skin.
Constipation can be so marked that the stool can scarcely be passed without assistance,
blood and mucus possibly being passed with it.
Particlularly characteristic of Selenium are seminal emissions while the penis is
relaxed, and also unconscious dribbling of semen during sleep, particularly when
masturbation is practised. There may also be impotence and premature ejaculation
with the penis relaxed, as well as prostatitis with the sensation of a foreign body in
the anus and painful stinging deep in the urethra after micturition. There may be catarrh
of the bladder, with dribbling of urine after urination and involuntary passage
of urine while walking.
Selenium has a characteristic emaciation of the face, hands and thighs. Walking
may be difficult, with a certain lameness, and a fear of becoming completely paralysed.
Mention must also be made of the mucosal affections which are improved by Selenium,
namely nervous coryza, coming and going as in Silicea, and possible loss of
smell lasting for weeks with nasal congestion; likewise hoarseness of singers, occurring
right at the beginning of the song, or also following over-use of the voice,
possibly associated with blood-streaked expectoration.
Selenium patients have a desire for stimulants, and like to get drunk, which however
leads to a tremendous aggravation of their complaints. They wake at night with
hunger.
On account of its particularly strong indications in the genito-urinary sphere, Selenium
was formerly one of the chief remedies in chronic, post-gonorrhoeal urethritis,
along with Sepia, Kali Iodatum and Sulphur.
Mention must also be made of the usefulness of Selenium in falling out of the hair,
certain relationships becoming apparent here with Sulphur, and particularly with
Thallium (Sulphuricum).
To sum up, we have the following main symptoms: - General weakness and lack of energy. Mental concentration impossible. Exhaustion
after every physical and mental exertion. - Periodic headaches, especially above the left eye, possibly occurring after sleep
(cf. Lachesis). Cat-naps (cf. Sulphur). - Emaciation of face, hands and thighs. Eruption in the liver-region and in creases
of the hands (inter-digital). - Aggravation from consumption of tea and wine, also from sleeping and lying
down, from hot weather, heat of the sun and draughts. Frequently ameliorated by
polyuria. - Neurasthenia after exhausting illnesses (retoxic phases), after sexual excesses,
masturbation with sexual excitement. Lack of energy withal. Impotence. Prostatorrhoea.
Prostatitis. Dribbling of urine while walking. - Hoarseness of singers and speakers. Laryngitis with blood-streaked sputum.

passages; digestive insufficiency; general weakness and debilitation.
Sempervivum Tectorum – House Leek
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh leaves, gathered before flowering, of
the plant Sempervivum tectorum L. ssp. tectorum, a native of Europe and Asia.
N.O. Crassulaceae.
The main indications are:
Pre-cancerous state. Neoplasm phases.

Senecio Fuchsii – Fuchs’ Golden Ragwort
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Senecio
memorensis ssp. fuchsii (C. C. Gmel.) Celak., which flowers in mountain woodlands
of Europe. N.O. Compositae.
Senecio Fuchsii is used, as in folk-medicine, for various nervous complaints, and
in particular for gynaecological problems and in the menopause. Its main area of indication
covers amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, irregular menstruation with irritation
of the bladder. All complaints are ameliorated by the onset of the period.
There is also a favourable action in leucorrhoea. Senecio Fuchsii is used mainly in
combination with other homoeopathic remedies which have a similar action.

Gazette) for senecio fuchsii: haemorrhages.
530
Sepia – Cuttle-fish
The attenuations are prepared from the dried secretion of the inkgland of the cuttlefish,
Sepia officinalis L., which inhabits the Mediterranean, the North Sea and the
Atlantic Ocean. N.O. Sepiidae.
Sepia is one of the most frequently needed homoeopathic remedies, and is mainly
suitable for the treatment of chronic or longer lasting conditions and also of
dyscrasias (i.e. both cellular and also chronic humoral phases, e.g. chronic eczemas,
chronic discharges such as leucorrhoea and post-gonorrhoeal). There is also a typical
weakness and exhaustion running through the whole remedy.
Complaints are generally worse in the warmth, in rooms which are hot and crowded,
and in hot weather. An amelioration occurs in the course of the afternoon, whilst
otherwise there are aggravations in the morning and evenings, making Sepia to some
extent a combination of Nux Vomica (morning aggravation) and Pulsatilla (evening
aggravation). The general state of the patient is better on motion (as in Pulsatilla),
whilst certain complaints, such as headaches and lower abdominal complaints with
the typical bearing-down sensation, are worse on motion.
A prominent symptom is the indifference towards business and family, as is also
found in Sulphur; another symptom which it has in common with Sulphur is the sensation
of weakness in the stomach, which is not relieved after eating.
In common with Pulsatilla, Sepia has a burning, throbbing pain in the stomach,
and also the sensation as of a dumpling or stone in the stomach. Sepia frequently has
a sensation of general heaviness, and that of a large lump, e.g. in the rectum, this
symptom not being relieved after defaecation. In the uterus there is also a bearingdown
sensation and feeling of heaviness, so that female patients feel the need to
cross the legs, to prevent prolapse. In many cases there is a yellowish-green, foetid
and excoriating leucorrhoea.
In the lower abdomen there may also be pains similar to labour-pains, with respiratory
constriction and bearing-down, associated with erosions of the uterus. Generally
there appears to be congestion in the pelvic organs, which may find expression
not only in uterine but also in rectal prolapse. This sensation of bearing-down and
fullness may also be found in the urinary organs, with the symptom of pressure on
the bladder and frequent passing of urine with flatulence in the lower abdomen. The
urine contains a sediment like clay, and may also be very offensive. In enuresis, the
bed-wetting which requires Sepia usually takes place during first sleep.
Although the characteristic Sepia sensations are of fullness or of a ball, the stomach
pain may however also have an unpleasant sensation of emptiness, or a “gone”
sensation, with faint weakness, the patient feeling deathly and wretched. Hyperemesis
gravidarum also frequently responds fabourably to Sepia if (as in Colchicum),
even the smell of food causes nausea.
In constipation Sepia has a characteristic feeling as of a weight or a ball in the rectum.
Often the stool cannot be passed without manual assistance. Nash describes as
531
a symptom a seeping of moisture from the anus, which is also covered by Antimonium
Crudum.
Sepia also has a degree of aggravation from milk, e.g. when milk leads to vomiting
with diarrhoea.
Worthy of particular note are the skin symptoms of Sepia, namely soreness, itching
which is frequently transformed into burning as a result of scratching (cf. Sulphur),
and above all, localisation in the creases of the knees. There may also be
large, suppurating pustules, which repeatedly relapse, and also, particularly, brown
patches, on the face, chest and abdomen, such as occur in chloasma gravidarum.
However, other types of eruption also respond favourably to Sepia, such as vesicles
and scabies-like conditions – particularly if Sulphur has previously been given and
has not completed the cure. The skin symptoms do not need to be expressed solely
in the form of pustules, eczema, neurodermitis or herpes, but may be of a weaker
character, such as yellowish-brown scaly patches, or sloughing of the epidermis in
round patches on the hands and fingers, possibly associated with painless ulcers.
As is obvious from the foregoing symptoms, Sepia is a gynaecological remedy,
and also particularly indicated in the menopause. Hot flushes with sweating and
weakness are characteristic of Sepia (likewise Sulphur and possibly Lachesis), the
typical symptoms of pelvic congestion often being found in Sepia, while the hands
and feet tend to be alternately hot and cold. Thus Sepia is one of the most important
remedies for the complaints of the menopause, especially as further symptoms, such
as the great exhaustion, are also typical of climacteric neuroses.
Sepia can also have a very favourable action on hemicrania and migraine-like
states, e.g. also in cervical migraine, where the factor of exhaustion is also involved.
Indifference towards business and family is chracteristic of Sepia, and is likewise
often found in the menopause. There may also be a hypersensitivity in various parts
of the body, with a tendency to strain oneself by lifting things awkwardly or towards
sprains. This may result in avoidance of energetic movements or of physical
and mental activity. Comparatively short walks may also result in severe exhaustion.
In spite of the great sleepiness, especially during the daytime, so that the patient
sometimes falls asleep while sitting up, at night there may be restless sleep with frequent
waking, lively dreams and starting up in fright. Apart from angry irritability,
there may possibly be deep despondency (especially in the evenings), with a depressive
tendency and worried brooding over one’s own state of health. With all this
there may also be unsociability, loss of interest, and indifference, and possibly also
nervousness, intensity of feeling, and timidity with feelings of fear. In the mornings,
when the patient wakes unrefreshed, the eyelids may be stiff and heavy and there
may be ptosis.
Sepia has typically copious sweating, e.g. after the hot flushes, but also on the
genitalia. Also characteristic of Sepia are acute and chronic catarrhs of the nose,
pharynx and larynx with a violent tickling cough and possibly considerable discharge
of mucus or else stopped coryza with a sensation of dryness in the nose.
If we sum up the main symptoms of Sepia, the result is the following remedypicture:
532 - Complaints aggravated in warmth and hot weather and in crowded rooms, also
first thing in the morning and in the evening. Amelioration in the course of the afternoon
and generally from motion (except complaints of head and lower abdomen). - Menopausal complaints with hot flushes, emotional depression and irritability
(alternating). Tearfulness, hypersensitivity, and indifference (to business and family).
General weakness, every movement causing outbreaks of sweating. Feeling
of faintness. - Sensitive skin with severe itching and eurptions, especially in the creases of the
joints, dry or moist or herpetic eruptions. Skin of the hands is sloughed off in
great patches. Brown patches. Chloasma gravidarum with yellow “saddle” across
the nose. Pityriasis. Yellowish, wan, pale complexion with yellow patches and
yellow discoloration of the sclera. - Offensive sweat on the genitalia with bearing-down in the lower abdomen (sensation
of a ball), must cross the legs to prevent protrusion. Uterine prolapse. - Yellowish-green leucorrhoea, offensive and excoriating in cervical erosion.
Menses mostly late and scanty. Menopause. - Various types of catarrh with discharge of purulent and bloody, foul-smelling
masses. Expectoration of salty-tasting mucus. Stopped coryza. Tickling cough in
catarrhs of the nose, pharynx and larynx. Post-gonorrhoeal leucorrhoea. - Pulsating, bursting headaches, pains shooting upwards and from within outwards,
possibly only in the occiput or above one eye. Migraine, worse from movement,
bending down, noise and in the morning. A possible sensation of coldness on the
vertex, and of dryness in the eyes (in the presence of other Sepia symptoms). - General exhaustion and weakness; restless limbs, never still, with neuralgic complaints.
(Osteochondrosis.) - Nocturnal enuresis.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Sepia officinalis, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
sepia: various skin diseases, especially of chronic nature; inflammations and other
disorders of the digestive organs; an extensive variety of disturbances of the female
reproductive organs; inflammations of the urinary organs; disorders in voiding from
the urinary bladder; rheumatic diseases; varicose veins; headaches, insomnia; conditions
of exhaustion, disorders of emotional or otherwise psychological nature; depressive
emotional discord or upset.
533
Serotonin
The attenuations are prepared from Serotonin, 3-(2-aminoethyl)-indol-5-ol,
C10H12N2O, MW: 176.2.
Serotonin is used within the context of anti-homotoxic methodology, in states of
shock, states of cerebral excitement, acute mental confusion, organic nervous diseases,
also experimentally in schizophrenia and possibly epilepsy, in order to stimulate
an arousal of the body’s own detoxifying mechanisms, within the context of the
Law of Similars and the Reversal effect, possibly in alternation with other mediators
such as Histamine, Adrenalin, Acetylcholine etc.
Serpyllum – Wild Thyme
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Thymus serpyllum
L., which blossoms in sunny alpine meadows and pastures. N.O. Labiatae.
The action of thyme is based on its essential oil and the bitter principle, serpyllin,
which it contains, among other things. Thyme is used not only in coughs and catarrhal
colds, acting as an expectorant and soothing the cough, including that of
whooping cough, but it also has a particularly calming effect on nervous irritations,
such as those which occur following worm-infestation.
Typical of the Thymus Serpyllum patient is the special effect on the sexual organs,
with lascivious, fantastic dreams accompanying irritability, moodiness and a lack of
energy. There is also a pain resulting from tiredness, felt in the loins and aggravated
by mental or physical exertion, particularly after excessive nocturnal seminal emissions
with lustful dreams and possibly priapism.
Also typical is a burning pain on urination, with subsequent dribbling of urine,
also frequency of urination with urine which is high in urates and low in phosphates.
Generally speaking, Serpyllum is used primarily in combination remedies in order
to strengthen the action of the other ingredients. (E. Bürgi’s synergistic principle.)
Silicea – Silicic Acid
The attenuations are prepared from pure, precipitated, hydrated anhydrous silica,
containing up to 90 per cent silicon dioxide, SiO2, MW: 60.1.
Silicea is an important remedy for the connective tissue and is characteristically
indicated in weakness of that tissue with giving-way of limbs, lack of strength and
backbone, trembling of the limbs (especially the arms), stiffness of the back and
534
limbs, but also in numerous other symptoms of exhaustion and weakness, when in
many cases the patient exhibits a lack of vital heat, even when he is moving about,
and is sensitive to cold air, especially when the head is uncovered. However, there is
relief from covering the head warmly, especially in neuralgias (left trigeminal neuralgia
is typical in many cases). The whole nervous system seems to be in the grip of
a certain weakness, with a nervous, irritated, timorous and undecided state of mind.
Silicea is also frequently indicated in undernourished children, with a distended
abdomen and emaciation of the extremities as a result of diseased mesenteric glands;
the eyes are sunken and the face is typically lean, giving the child the appearance of
an old man. The weakness is often so great that the children can hardly pass a stool;
indeed, it emerges, but then slips back in again. On the other hand there may be intransigent
diarrhoea, especially during dentition or in the heat of summer, other
remedies such as Veratrum, Pulsatilla, Mercurius etc. not acting, but in such cases of
typical failure to thrive the only remedy, or the supreme remedy, is Silicea. Silicea
has certain relationships to Calcium Carbonicum, since it can be used in a similar
way to the latter in children with head-sweats and deficient assimilation. On the
other hand it is also related to Hepar Sulph. and to Calcium Sulphuricum, being used
in suppurations above all when the pus has discharged and the healing now needs to
take place from within outwards. Thus Silicea is an important remedy in suppurative
fistulas.
Glandular swellings also call for Silicea, especially of the sub-mandibular glands
and tonsils, and also in the axillae, neck, throat, ear and the inguinal area, if Calcium
Carbonicum does not have the desired effect.
There may also be a general hyperaesthesia of the skin, associated with violent
itching, scarcely relieved by scratching, and also itching on the scalp with falling out
of the hair, and pustular eruptions on the forehead, back, chest and arms. As in
Hepar Sulph., small skin wounds are slow to heal and they suppurate. Ganglia on the
back of the hand are also an indication for Silicea.
A hypersensitivity of the sense of smell, associated with itching in the nose, inflammations
of the nasal mucosa, blowing out of bloody mucus and sinusitis can
constitute an indication for Silicea, especially if Calcium Carbonicum or Hepar
Sulph. has previously been given.
Silicea is eminently suited to so-called dyscrasias, such as are found in tuberculosis,
gout, rickets and in pre-cancerous states, but a further therapeutic indication
may be provided by pains in joints and muscles, neuralgia which is worse at night,
twitching and trembling of the limbs with great weakness, chronically suppurating
fistulae in the ears, chronic eye conditions with photophobia, stomatitis with ulcerated
gums, tuberculosis of the mesenteric glands, swelling of the hilar glands, rectal
fistulae and leucorrhoea. Silicea is therefore indicated in impregnation phases which
attempt a regressive transformation into reaction phases.
Particular emphasis should also be given to the action of Silicea on offensive footsweat,
in many cases accompanied by general heavy sweating of the whole body
(smelling sour at night).
535
A further important symptom is bleeding from the nipple, also during breast-feeding.
Typical indications go to make up the following symptom-picture: - Weakness of connective tissue, rickets. Tuberculosis of the hilar and mesenteric
glands. - Disorders of nutrition with diarrhoea and failure to thrive. Painless glandular
swellings on the neck, behind the ears, in the axillae and inguinal area. - Thin, acrid discharges. Suppurative fistulae in otitis media, anal fistulae, in surgical
wounds etc., skin slow to heal. - General chilliness and sensitivity to cold air, especially draughts, must cover the
head warmly, above all in tendency towards headaches and neuralgia. (Left
trigeminal nerve often affected.) - Sour sweating of the head and feet with soreness between the toes (feet offensive).
Silicea can cure complaints arising from suppressed sweat, or bring out the
sweat again. - Nervous irritation and timidity. Indecision, acquiescence, lack of courage.
- Bleeding from the nipple during breast-feeding (important symptom in any case,
which cannot be cured by any other remedy). - Pustular skin eruptions and urticaria. Acne vulgaris. Pruritus, scarcely relieved by
scratching. Hyperaesthesia of the skin to touch.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum silicium, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
silicea: chronic inflammations; suppuration and fistula development afflicting the
skin, the lymph glands, the mucosae, the bones, and the joints; tissue weakness in
the ligamentous apparatus of the bones and joints; proliferation of tissue (hyperblastosis);
mental exhaustion.
Sinusitis Nosode – Sinusitinum/Sinusitisinum
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the sterilized mucous substance
obtained by puncture from the inflamed sinus cavities of 5 to 10 adult patients between
20 and 50 years of age, who suffer from acute sinusitis maxillaris and who
have not received therapy with antibiotics.
This nosode is not only used in acute and chronic suppuration of the sinuses, adenoid
enlargement, lymphadenopathy, nasal ulcers, hay fever and asthma, but also in
reflex-illnesses which may be influenced from the nasal mucosa, e.g. (experimentally)
in duodenal and gastric ulcer, neuralgia, etc. It may be used in conjunction with
Mucosa nasalis to treat nasal ulcers, and with Psorinum in enlargement of the adenoids
and nasal polypi, and with Duodenum in affections of the gastrointestinal
tract.
536
A proving of this substance was conducted in the summer and fall of 1994 by
Dr. David Riley.

skin diseases.
540
Spigelia – Pink Root
The mother tincture is prepared from the dried aerial parts of Spigelia anthelmia L.,
which occurs in Brazil, Java and the West Indies. N.O. Loganiaceae.
The tincture of Pink-root, Spigelia anthelmia, contains the alkaloid Spigelein and
tannins.
Spigelia is a valuable remedy, effective not only in violent palpitations and turbulent
cardiac activity, i.e. in violent episodes of palpitation, but also in valvular lesions
with murmur.
In such states the patient can often lie only on the right side, and desires to lie with
the head very high. In addition to its action in cramping heart-complaints (similar to
Cactus), Spigelia also acts well in stabbing pains of the heart, which one finds mainly
in acute endocarditis. At the same time there may be headaches, which begin on
one side, usually the left, in the occiput, extend forwards and settle above the left
eye. Like a migraine, these are aggravated by the least noise and by slight jarring,
intensifying as the day goes on and decreasing again when the sun sets, the eye on
the affected side frequently watering.
There is also aggravation from cold, damp, rainy weather, and from movement,
noise and also especially light touch.
The pains need not be limited to the left eye and the heart, but may also extend to
the limbs, especially the left arm, so that Spigelia also works beneficially in attacks
of angina pectoris.
Eye problems of a rheumatic kind, particularly conjunctivitis with photophobia
and possibly also ciliary neuralgia, are indications for Spigelia.
Nerve pains in various parts, rheumatic and gouty complaints, stopped coryza
with an accumulation of mucus and swelling of the tonsils, and also worm complaints
with frequent urging for urination can all respond well to Spigelia.
A prominent feature in the picture of Spigelia is particularly the vulnerability of

Sulphur
The attenuations are prepared from sublimated Sulphur, S, AW: 32.1.
This indispensible polychrest occupies a central position in the homoeopathic
treasury of remedies, and is used successfully both in acute cases and, more frequently,
in chronic cases. Furthermore, Sulphur, in a wide range of low or higher potencies,
even in the highest potencies, according to the nature of the case, is funda-
555
mentally able to reverse the course of an illness. Defined in physiological, chemical
or enzymological terms, its effects are achieved by the reactivation of enzyme-based
detoxifying procedures which have been destroyed.
Nash, with apologies to Hahnemann, refers to Sulphur as the king of the antipsorics.
It may happen that, both in humoral and in cellular phases, well-indicated remedies
refuse to work. In such cases the use of Sulphur is recommended, in order to remove
the block to the action of the remedy resulting from a psoric constitution as a
result of earlier retoxications (or blocking of enzymes).
At this point some exposition of the concept of Psora is called for.
In view of the fact that, in Hahnemann’s time, the concept of disease had not received
any final, scientifically founded interpretation, so neither had the concept of
Psora, established by Hahnemann, been accorded any scientifically comprehensible
definition. People indulged in speculations and in personifications of abstract concepts,
and the outcome was great confusion.
In the light of homotoxicology it has now become clear that Hahnemann’s concept
of Psora is a characteristic situation of retoxication resulting from reversible blocking
or irreversible destruction of enzyme-systems. Depending on the degree of damage,
improvements or cures may be achieved by anti-homotoxic therapy. Such retoxications
occur as a result of the inhibition of processes of detoxification and elimination.
Eliminations must always be seen in the context of detoxification. If eliminations
of whatever kind are suppressed, no matter whether they be foot-sweat (an excretion
phase) or a serous exudate in eczema or dermatitis, or some inflammation (a reaction
phase), since these of course also serve to cleanse the body of homotoxins, this
is achieved by an inhibition or destruction of the enzyme-systems which are entrusted
with this detoxifying function. This process of enzyme-damage matches the
creation of impregnation phases – in serious cases or in repeated retoxications even
of degeneration or neoplasm phases, which may present the most varied symptoms
of hydra-headed Psora.
Examples of impregnation phases are: achlorhydria, chronic diseases of the joints,
myocardial lesions, post-infectious anaemia, lesions of the hepatic parenchyma, connective
tissue lesions, and also numerous illnesses which nowadays are characterised
as iatrogenic.
It is well known that through the use of numerous powerful drugs, such as
sulphonamides, antibiotics, antipyretics etc., such iatrogenic damage or unwanted
side-effects can be caused, which originate from blocking or destruction of enzymes
and to a large extent may be equated with the concept of Psora.
Pork also contains the type of poison (sutoxins) which can impregnante the cells,
e.g. histamines and histamine polypeptides, in excessive quantity, and from these the
tendency towards inflammations and itching originates. The excessive fat content,
particularly intra-cellular, plays a homotoxic role in the consumption of pork, diseases
of the lymphatic system occurring after resorption of the fat into the lymphatic
vessels.
556
A part of the disease-manifestations which have been regarded as Psora, presenting
as scrofula (skropha = pig), or as dyscrasias of other kinds, must be regarded as
sutoxic, i.e. as caused by the consumption of pork.
The body now seeks to compensate for the damage which has taken place in the
context of the impregnation phases, or of the sutoxic overloading and it attempts to
do this by means of a regressive vicariation, the retoxins (particularly histamine)
being conducted away through reaction phases. Such reaction phases, where there is
severe iatrogenic damage, particularly in degeneration or even neoplasm phases,
may possibly take on the nature of evasive phases, e.g. suppurative fistulae, chronic
skin conditions, chronic predisposition to boils in diabetes, etc. By means of these
evasive phases, intermediate homotoxins or exogenous sutoxins (after conversion
has taken place in the connective tissue) are eliminated, thus relieving the toxic state
which corresponds to the cellular phase.
In all these cases Sulphur is effective in accelerating the processes of detoxification
which are under way (possibly in the form of inflammations) and where appropriate
in beginning the reactive process or bringing it to crisis-point.
This self-healing tendency of the body thus receives excellent assistance from Sulphur.
However, the final success of the treatment depends not least on the extent of
the retoxic damage, i.e. whether it is confined to impregnation phases which are
still reversible, or whether it has already reached the degeneration or neoplasm phase
where the damage may be more or less irreversible.
In many cases where the enzyme blockage is still reversible, Sulphur can often release
a very prompt action, as though the whole state of illness were unlocked with a
suitable key, or a wider path had been opened up to the body’s natural healing tendency,
charcterised by the reactivation of the physiological enzyme functions of
general detoxification (major defensive system).
The detoxification which is set in motion by a dose of Sulphur takes the form of
regressive vicariation, as described by various physicians. Thus Nash tells of a female
patient who had had a disease of the stomach for 14 years and was emaciated
almost to a skeleton. From the medical history it was found that, about 15 years previously,
she had had eczema on the neck and occiput, which had been suppressed
with a highly effective ointment. Since that time there had not been a sign of the
eczema. Nash prescribed a dose of Sulphur 200. After three weeks the eruption was
restored and the stomach-complaints were completely removed.
It may be mentioned here that excessive reactions are generally not caused by
higher potencies of Sulphur. These generally occur only after the use of lower potencies,
so that in extremely chronic cases it is prudent to use the high potencies and
the highest, either straight away or after beginning with low potencies.
No doubt every homoeopathic physician who experiments with high potencies
has observed similar cases from time to time. It may however be emphasized that the
usual injections of Sulphur are quite sufficient, in order to achieve results of this
kind, by triggering a natural healing process in the form of a regressive vicariation.
Typical of Sulphur indications in impregnation phases is the affection of the skin,
which itches and then burns after being scratched. The body is trying to eliminate
557
the intermediate homotoxins, particularly histamine, by way of its integument. In the
process tendencies towards regressive vicariation arise, in the form of reaction phases,
such as a wide variety of discharges which are excoriating and cause reddening
of the orifices, and also an offensive body-odour, in spite of frequent bathing, as is
the case with Psorinum. However, the patients cannot tolerate washing and bathing.
Thus they appear mostly as dirty people lacking in personal cleanliness and predisposed
towards skin problems.
The burning and itching occur everywhere: on the vertex, in the eyes, the face,
even the tongue and in mouth ulcers; there is burning in the stomach and rectum,
burning and itching of haemorrhoids, burning in the urethra, burning and itching in
the vulva and nipples, between the shoulder-blades, on the hands and feet so that
they have to be put out from under the bed-covers, to cool them down. All these are
typical indications for Sulphur.
It is not possible to detail here even all the important symptoms of Sulphur. This is
owing to the fact that Sulphur is the major remedy in practically all cellular phases,
and particularly in impregnation phases which still display a tendency to turn regressive.
Almost every symptom which finds clinical expression in dyscrasias of the
most varied kind, in tuberculosis (scrofula), (consequences of pork-poisoning), in
chronic ulcerations, boils, a wide variety of tumours, ulcers of fingers and nails, ulcers
of the lower leg, skin diseases, asthma, angina pectoris and myocardial lesions
following retoxic impregnation in the treatment of acute illnesses (tonsillitis, influenza,
scarlet fever etc.), can respond to Sulphur in some way or other and is almost
always to be found within the comprehensive symptom-catalogues of Sulphur
and in the reports of its provings.
An important symptom also is the reddening of all orifices of the body, particularly
of the ears; this can prove an indication for Sulphur at first sight. Also the hot
flushes which are so common in the menopause respond well to Sulphur (otherwise
to Sepia, Lachesis, Sanguinaria etc.), and in the most serious cases to Sulphuricum
Acidum.
The sensations of weakness which are often observed in impregnation phases may
also be an indication for Sulphur, e.g. the weakness and stagnation in the stomach
which occurs in the morning around 11:00 a.m., making it necessary to eat. Likewise
morning diarrhoea which drives the patient out of bed, obviously serving to
eliminate homotoxins in view of the relief experienced afterwards, also calls for a
dose of Sulphur.
It may be mentioned that Sulphur is one of the most important components of tissue
in the body. It is known that the basic substance of the mesenchyme consists of
hyaluronic acids or of the mucoitine and chondroitine sulphuric acid.
The richer in sulphur the connective tissue is, the softer and more mucous it tends
to be. Injections of Sulphur make the connective tissue less rich in sulphur and more
resistant, the sulphur in the tissues being mobilised and excreted, which has been
shown by August Bier and collaborators in numerous highly impressive experiments.
This helps us to understand the beneficial action of Sulphur in arthroses and
primary chronic arthritis.
558
The fact is also well-known that numerous enzymes become active through sulphide
groups, such as Coenzyme A, the cytochromes, and many others. It is also
well-known that the SH-groups are particularly easily blocked by synthetic drugs
and heavy metals, and this forms the basis for the iatrogenic damage which follows
the use of many drugs.
Through the administering of Sulphur compounds in a suitable attenuation appropriate
to the biological milieu, such damage may be reversed in many cases, insofar
as it is still reversible. When the detoxifying functions of the enzymes start up again,
they are expressed as regressive vicariations, with recurrence of the illness which
was previously retoxically treated, such as eczema etc.
Without the arrangement of the various illness which has resulted from homotoxicology
teaching, and without the knowledge of their relationships to one another,
one can scarcely grasp the action of such a great remedy as Sulphur. This, however,
also makes the multiplicity of symptoms in the remedy-picture of Sulphur comprehensible,
likewise the fact that not only impregnation phases, but possibly also degeneration
phases and even neoplasm phases may be beneficially influenced by Sulphur
– and, in every case, the great army of deposition phases and reaction phases,
the latter particularly so in the case of evasive phases, or where there is a psoric
loading.
In this connection we should recall Prof. Stiegele’s lecture at Freudenstadt, where
he let it be known that, although he was not actually a high-potency supporter and
had never otherwise reported the fact, he had experimented with high potencies
throughout the long years of his medical practice, and had established numerous astonishing
effects in the process.
Among other cases, Prof. Stiegele described that of a boy who had migrating
pneumonia. Every attempt to help him seemed hopeless, since no homoeopathic
remedy was able to achieve a deep-reaching action. Prof. Stiegele then called in a
well-known clinician, who likewise gave up the case. That same evening Prof.
Stiegele gave a dose of Sulphur 200X with surprising success, for the crisis which
had been awaited for weeks and months set in overnight, and the next morning the
patient had no fever for the first time. A short convalescence completed his recovery.
Such observations are characteristic of the action of Sulphur. Therefore in all cases
which do not respond to well-indicated biotherapeutic or anti-homotoxic remedies,
Sulphur should be given intercurrently, e.g. as an intravenous injection, regardless as
to whether it might be a case of chronic septic endocarditis (Leimbach. Homotoxin-
Journal 3, 151 [1964]), or one of bronchial asthma, chronic heart disease, skin diseases,
liver disease, chronic rheumatism or gouty, arthritic complaints, acute pneumonia,
tuberculosis in its various forms, chronic nutritional disorders in adults or in
children, difficult convalescence, dyspeptic states, haemorrhoids, chronic gastric
weakness, hydrocephalus, chronic gynaecological conditions (e.g. ovarian cysts),
varicose ulcers (be careful here not to give too low potencies, since, if there is not
absolute abstinence from pork and pork products, the ulcers may enlarge enormously),
of menopausal complaints, diabetes or any one of numerous cellular phases.
559
It is hardly possible to give an exhaustive survey of the action of Sulphur in a short
character-sketch. One should always think of Sulphur when the following symptoms
are prominent or dominate the picture: - Putting the feet out of bed, though they may be cold during the day.
- Hot flushes and sensations of heat, also burning in a great variety of areas of the
body, possibly with episodes of sweating and a craving for fresh air. - Itching, in skin diseases or on its own, often followed by burning. (cf. Phosphorus,
Arsenicum Album). - Chronic skin diseases, lichen planus, acne vulgaris, eczema, neurodermitis, dermatoses,
associated with offensive body-odour and aversion to washing and
bathing (especially in cold water), with much itching (especially at night). Urticaria,
angioedema. - Reddened mucosa, especially at orifices of the body. Strikingly red lips and ears,
red eyelids with tendency towards tubercular inflammations, styes, blepharitis. - Haemorrhoids with redness and itching of the anus.
- Morning diarrhoea, driving the patient out of bed.
- Weakness and stagnation in the stomach around 11:00 a.m., obliged to eat. Aversion
to meat and intolerance of milk. - Vicarious effects in the context of retoxic impregnation phases; a wide variety of
impregnation and cellular phases, showing a tendency towards regressive vicariation,
but unable to carry it through. Any consequences of suppressed discharges
of any kind. Viral illnesses. - Heart-complaints. Pressure like a weight or stone on the chest.
- Sleeplessness: cannot get to sleep, with heat in the feet, itching, and also asthmatic
complaints. - Sulphur should always be given intercurrently if well-indicated remedies do not
act, in high or in the highest potencies, even in degeneration or neoplasm phases.
The further to the right of the Biological Division in the cellular area the phase is
situated, the higher should be the potency – generally speaking – which is selected.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Sulfur, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for sulphur:
various skin diseases, especially those of chronic nature; pruritic eczema and suppurative
skin diseases; acute and chronic inflammations of the respiratory organs, the
gastrointestinal tract, and the urinary and reproductive organs; hepatic and digestive
insufficiencies; varicose veins; haemorrhoids; haemorrhages; cardiocirculatory complaints;
abnormality of blood pressure (dysarteriotony); rheumatic complaints; insomnia;
nervous disorders; general weakness and debilitation, behavioural disorders;

The main indications and symptoms are as follows:
Chronic dyspepsia (catarrh of drinkers), burning haemorrhoids. Hot flushes, copious
sweat, mostly odourless. Diarrhoea in the morning. Haemorrhagic tendency.
Thrombocytopaenic purpura. Run-down constitution. Chronic asthma.
It should also be noted, in respect of this remedy, that, on account of the radical biological
properties and therapeutics possibilities of the acids, potentised Sulphuric
Acid is indicated for numerous symptoms anywhere from the reaction phase to the
degeneration phase.
Rheumatic pains in the sacrum and the legs may be so bad that the patient cannot
stand without support. This is combined with an unusual weakness, so that the arms
can hardly be raised, together with a trembling sensation in the body which, however,
cannot be objectivised. There is a tendency to develop muscle-cramps.
There is a general aggravation in fresh air.
The patient is in a bad mood, as if hung-over, evil-tempered and sleeping badly
after waking too early, therefore feeling drowsy at rising time (cf. Nux Vomica.)
Sulphuric Acid is well-suited to alcoholics, and is otherwise indicated in impregnation
phases such as pruritus, in chronic eczemas, neurodermitis, especially eruptions
on the head, face, and on the neck with greying and falling out of the hair. There is a
typical taut feeling in the facial skin, as of dried egg-white on it, and also ptosis of
the upper eyelids, which may be accompanied by conjunctivitis with photophobia
and dimness of vision.
There are catarrhs of the mucosa, such as dry or fluent coryza, laryngitis, coughing
attacks with regurgitations, dyspnoea and shortness of breath, with motion of the
alae nasae (cf. Lycopodium).
561
There are gingivitis, stomatitis, gastritis (catarrh of drinkers), nausea and stomach
cramps, abdominal distension with borborygmi, tenesmus at stool, sheep-dung stool,

Buerger’s disease. Hypernephroma (experimentally). Migraine. Bronchial
asthma. Duodenal ulcer. Angina pectoris. Diabetes mellitus.
562
Symphytum – Comfrey
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh root, gathered before flowering, of the
plant Symphytum officinale L., which is found in damp meadows and in ditches in
Europe and Siberia. N.O. Boraginaceae.
The tincture prepared from Symphytum contains essential oil and alkaloids, allantoin,
choline, the glycoside consolidin, tannins and resins.
Symphytum is very much a folk-remedy; there has not been a proving, and it has
been used for many years in injuries and fractures of the bones, and also when there
is involvement of the periosteum, whether from pressure, blows, falls, or bruising; it
is also used in injury to the tendons and ligaments, and in irritability of the stump
following amputation (Fellenberg-Ziegler).
Symphytum promotes callus-formation, as does Calcium Phosphoricum.
Symphytum is used with success not only in irritable stumps after amputation,
(causalgia), but also in sensitivity of the bones at the site of a fracture.
Occipital headaches, which move about, possibly extending over the vertex to the
forehead (cf. Cimicifuga), and also extend down the nasal bone, react to Symphytum.
Inflammation of the mandible with hard infiltration and redness is likewise an indication
for Symphytum (Boericke). It is especially recommended in pains of the
eyes which occur after a blow with a blunt object, and generally in eye injuries, for
which Symphytum may be regarded as specific.
There may be ulceration of the eyeball, or at least the sensation of an ulcer, with
spasmodic closing of the eyelids.
Heinigke mentions as an indication psoas abscess, following tubercular disease of
the spine. In addition to inflammations of the lower jaw, inflammations of the periosteum
generally, following injury, are an indication for Symphytum. (Otherwise
Ruta.) Symphytum is also said to act in backache following sexual excesses, and in
the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers it is likewise useful.
Symphytum is generally used internally in low potencies, and externally in the
tincture, or in compresses of diluted tincture. (1 part of tincture, made from the fresh
plant in flower, to 5 parts of lukewarm water).
The essential symptoms and areas of indication for Symphytum are as follows: - Fractures of all kinds, especially of the long bones (legs), particularly indicated
when the sites of the fractures are very painful (including pain which persists
after the fracture has healed). Irritable stumps after amputation (causalgia). - Psoas abscess following tubercular disease of the spine. Inflammation of the
mandible. Periosteal inflammations after injury. - Eye injury after contusion or blow.
- Occipital headaches, changing position and extending forward, along and down
the nasal bone.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Symphytum officinale e radice,
563
published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for symphytum: injuries suffered to the bones and the periosteum.

tics, nervous irritation in children, etc.).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Chrysanthemum vulgare, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for tanacetum vulgare: nervous exhaustion, spasmodic conditions of the
musculature and hollow organs.

In many cases of Parkinson’s disease (paralysis agitans) it can act outstandingly,
even when the cause is encephalitic.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Tarantula hispanica, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for tarantula: acute skin inflammations; general blood poisoning;
headaches, angina pectoris; hyperexcitability; hypersensitivity.
Taraxacum – Dandelion

Wiggers, gathered when coming into flower. It occurs in meadows and pastures of
Europe, Asia, North Africa and America. N.O. Compositae.
The main indications are:
Liver remedy. Bitter taste. Mapped tongue (cf. Arsenicum Album).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Taraxacum officinale, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for taraxacum: inflammations and diseases of the hepatotobiliary system.
Tartarus Stibiatus – Tartar Emetic
(Antimonium tartaricum)
The attenuations are prepared from Tartar Emetic, C8H4K2O12Sb2 · 3H2O, MW: 668.
Tartarus Stibiatus, Tartar Emetic, is – as its name suggests – a substance which
causes vomiting (emesis). Thus, in the poisoning-symptoms we find an inflammatory
condition of the gastric mucosa with collapse and great superficial coldness of the
limbs, great unsteadiness, weakness and trembling of the muscles. Large doses result
in death after convulsions resulting from cerebral and cardiac paralysis.
Small doses bring about a characteristic increase in secretory activity of the
glands. This is accompanied by a drepessed, restless mood, which may also be timorous,
irritable and anxious.
Particularly characteristic of Tartarus Stibiatus are pustular skin eruptions, which
are not only the result of local action of the remedy, but occur as a general effect,
possibly accompanied by itching vesicular eruptions or purpura, along with haemorrhagic
ulcers. The pustules develop only slowly and with pain, and ulcerate, with the
result that, from the similarity of the picture, Tartarus Stibiatus has been used in the
treatment of smallpox.
566
Further toxic effects which were brought out in the provings include flickering before
the eyes, conjunctivitis, blurred vision, tinnitus, trembling and jerking, rheumatic
drawing pains in the back and in the upper and lower extremities, similar to
those observed after taking Antimonium Crudum.
In the heart there is arrhythmia with lowering of the blood pressure, coolness of
the skin and chilliness to the point of rigors, when the skin may be covered with
cool, sticky sweat. This may be followed by warm night-sweats.
Also included in the remedy-picture of Tartarus Stibiatus (or Emeticus) is laryngeal
and bronchial catarrh with aphonia, râles and coughing, the mucus being difficult
to raise; thus air-hunger and a constrictive sensation may occur, with pains and
stabbing in the chest. Tartarus Stibiatus is able to facilitate the raising of the mucus.
Increased salivation may also be present, the papillae standing out on a bright red
tongue; there may be ulceration of the oral mucosa with an accumulation of quantities
of mucus in the pharynx. On the whole, ulcerations are typical of Tartarus Stibiatus,
possibly migrating down the oesophagus and continuing in the stomach.
Violent stomach pains and continuous watery diarrhoea mixed with blood and
with pains in the rectum and anus occur in poisonings from Tartarus Stibiatus.
In the genito-urinary organs there is also a strong urge to urinate, with pains and
burning on passing water, and urine passed drop by drop, as is seen in cystitis, prostatitis,
and possibly in renal colic, especially when brick-dust sediment is present,
and when pustules are also found on the scrotum.
In women the action of Tartarus Stibiatus produces a discharge of blood and
serum from the uterus.
Nash also refers to the drowsiness which is often present in the Tartarus Stibiatus
picture, which, e.g. in pneumonia, calls for Tartarus Stibiatus. He also mentions the
main symptom, the severe râles with inability to raise the sputum, which applies to
all age-groups and constitutions, but above all to children and old people. Here Tartarus
Stibiatus competes with Sulphur, when in pneumonia there is shortness of
breath resulting from hepatisation of the lungs and the patient is too ill and drowsy
to expel the expectoration. It also competes with Ipecacuanha, in which remedy the
complaints are ameliorated by vomiting or by the setting in motion of expectoration;
and possibly also with Phosphorus.
According to Dewey (p.321) the main action of Tartarus Stibiatus covers accumulations
of mucus on the chest with panting respiration and constriction, and also pustular
eruptions, similar to those of smallpox, so that Tartarus Stibiatus can also be used as a
remedy for smallpox, especially since lung symptoms regularly occur in smallpox.
If we sum up the main symptoms of Tartarus Stibiatus, the result is the following
typical remedy-picture: - Accumulation of mucus on the chest with râles and inability to raise the mucus,
especially in pneumonia and pulmonary catarrhs with facial pallor and inability to
expel the sputum. - Skin affections with pustules, similar to smallpox, in which it may be tried.
- Pustules on the mucosa, especially stomatitis, pharyngitis, gastritis, colitis, but
also leucorrhoea and cervical erosions.
567 - Drowsiness in respiratory illnesses or in cholera infantum.
- Consolidation of the lungs persisting after the use of antibiotics.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Kalium stibyltartaricum, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for tartarus stibiatus: inflammations of the lower respiratory passages
with circulatory insufficiency; diarrhoea with vomiting; inflammations of the urinary
organs; suppurative skin diseases; rheumatic diseases of the lower spine.

Thuja – Tree of Life
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh one-year-old leafy shoots of the tree
Thuja occidentalis L., which grows wild in Virginia, Canada and Siberia, and in Europe
is often grown in gardens. N.O. Cupressaceae.
The tincture prepared from Thuja occidentalis, the Tree of Life, is one of the most
important polychrests in homoeopathy. Homotoxicology has codified the laws governing
the inter-relationships of the symptoms and particularly the modalities, and
provides the best opportunity of understanding their many facets and variations.
Thus Thuja is a remedy for the most varied range of retoxic impregnation phases,
such as were formerly caused, in the pre-antibiotic era, if one may use that expression,
particularly by the suppressive treatment of gonorrhoea and other diseases with
external medicaments, salts of silver, etc.
The manifestations and symptoms, which formerly resulted from suppressed gonorrhoea,
taking the form of impregnation phases, and given the name “Sycosis” by
Hahnemann, can pose almost insuperable problems of treatment to anyone who is
not familiar with the therapeutic action of Thuja. In such cases other remedies, even
Sulphur and others, will not act, although they may achieve a certain degree of palliation.
In such cases Thuja is indicated. Thuja is also indicated in cases of poisoning
or lesions from animal poisons, e.g. of snakes or insects, or from vaccination, especially
against smallpox.
These earlier retoxically-caused impregnations, whether caused by the introduction
of deep-acting toxins such as bacterial toxins, etc. or by the medical inhibition
of reaction phases – not only of gonorrhoea, syphilis etc., but also the suppression of
a fever, influenza, throat infection etc. – these now become the object of an attempt
by the body to re-direct them into regressive vicariation, eliminating the toxins
through warts, scabby eruptions such as impetigo, asthmatic bronchitis with copious
expectoration at night, or by off-loading them in the form of epithelial proliferations,
such as fig-warts (cauliflower excrescences), Meibomian cysts, ranula of the sublingual
gland, recurring Bartholin cysts, or in other appendages of the skin which are
572
themselves eventually eliminated, particularly in the case of hair and nails, the latter
becoming “crippled” and breaking off easily; or else in the form of leucorrhoea.
On the basis of numerous observations of homoeopathic doctors and those practising
in a biological way, there also seem to be relationships between previous vaccinations
against smallpox and later adenoid growths. These enlarged adenoids may
occupy the whole nasopharynx and nasal cavity, making it necessary to remove them.
In order to avoid a relapse, Thuja is indicated, firstly in low potencies, e.g. 2X or
even 1X, later rising by way of the 3X and 4Xto the high potencies (30X, 200X,
possibly 1000X).
Other kinds of general catarrhs may also be recognised as homotoxic elimination,
particularly in the genito-urinary system. In women there may be violent pains in the
left ovary. In contrast to the typical ameliorations of Zincum or Lachesis after the
period begins, these pains persist during the menses, or even increase, extending into
the thighs, so that the patient can no longer bear the pain and begins to scream. In
men, suppression of discharges may lead to inflammations of the epididymis, which
likewise require Thuja.
The impregnation phases which are characteristic of Thuja also find expression
in the typical mood, which tends towards frequent angry outbursts, and also despondency
and melancholia to the point of being tired of life. Patients are usually discontented,
anxious and preoccupied with the future, also restless and peevish, but
now and then, quite in contrast to their basic nature, they can be cheerful and pleasantly
stimulated, with an unaccustomed light-heartedness and indefatigable temperament.
The impregnation phases which are peculiar to the nervous system and require
Thuja, are expressed in uncoordinated thinking and groping for the right expression
or word, and also in imperfect recall of many concepts and thoughts, so that the patient
can only think and speak slowly. There is a general reluctance to communicate
and deficient concentration.
Fixed ideas are also typical of Thuja, which means that Thuja can also be of great
use in psychoses, e.g. schizophrenia, especially if it is used in conjunction with Psorinum
and other deep-acting constitutional remedies. The patients want to be alone.
They have a sensation as if body and soul were separated, or as if the body, and particularly
the limbs, were made of glass and would easily break.
Female patients feel pregnant and experience foetal movements for no objective
reason. They suffer from paranoia, as though someone were walking beside them.
There is frequently an extreme irritability, particularly towards others in the house,
and towards husband and mother.
In the peripheral nervous system Thuja symptoms present themselves as
headaches in a small spot, as though a nail were sticking into the head, temples or
forehead, aggravated by heat and lying down and ameliorated in the fresh air.
Rheumatic headaches which call for Thuja are aggravated, however, in damp air, and
by stimulant foods and drinks.
The Thuja patient gives an impression of being ill, and often the face is pallid and
waxy, looking as if it were greased and often almost translucent. This symptom may
573
also be found in the cachexia of cancer, with a yellowish or often pale, cachectic
complexion.
A very prominent Thuja symptom is the formation of warts. In low potencies
Thuja is often not sufficient to deal with these. Stauffer and others recommend particularly
the high, even the highest, potencies, and the author can thoroughly confirm
this. Any horny excrescences on the skin and any brownish warts on the abdominal
skin constitute an indication for Thuja, and also large brown liverspots, but so do
vesicular eruptions all over the body, herpes zoster on the chest, herpes labialis and
herpetic stomatitis. According to Kent, in these cases Thuja should be compared
with Rhus Tox., Graphites, Kali Iodatum and Mezereum.
Since the rheumatic complaints which are characteristic of Thuja are aggravated at
rest and especially by the warmth of the bed, the Thuja patient is always tossing restlessly
about. In such cases Rhus Tox. is not sufficient; Medorrhinum (nosode of
gonorrhoea) and Thuja are also needed to achieve a lasting cure. Also typical of
Thuja are sweats, especially on parts of the body which are not covered: thus particularly
sweating of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, and night-sweats which
give relief. Heavy sweating of the genitalia also responds well to Thuja, especially if
the sweat has an unpleasant odour like that of fish-brine. There is often itching and
burning of the genitalia, also when urinating, and tumours like fig-warts are noticed.
Tearing pains are present in the urethra, with a sensation as if drops of urine were
constantly passing along it. There may also be a thick yellowish-green discharge,
both from the vagina and the urethra.
Likewise the Thuja picture includes sharp pains in the kidneys, possibly associated
with inflammatory symptoms, burning-hot urine, non-specific inflammations
such as cystitis or urethritis, pyelitis and paralysis of the bladder. Symptoms of prostatitis
also indicate Thuja, if there is constant urging to urinate and yet the patient
must wait a long time before being able to pass urine.
Intestinal activity is mostly slowed down, and there is typical constipation with
hard, brown, lumpy faeces. The abdomen is curved outwards like a tortoise, somewhat
similar to Dr. Weiss’s (Mannheim) picture of mesenteric oedema, as presented
at the Homotoxicology Congress of 1968.
Stauffer reports on an interesting proving which he carried out on himself with
Thuja 30X, taking 5 drops in a small quantity of water each morning and evening.
(“Arzneimittellehre”, pp. 966–967.) He began to experience palpitations and irregularity
of the heart-beat with impatience and irritability, and restless nights, and at the
same time unpleasant memories from his earlier life forced their way in upon him.
This was accompanied by shivering with icy-cold hands and feet, extending over his
back and into the extremities and not relieved by the warmth of the fire but making
him want to sit in the sun. However, only the side which was facing the sun warmed
up, the other side continued to shiver, and when it was rubbed there was goose-flesh
with sensitive burning. By rubbing, he removed large quantities of skin-particles the
size of millet-seeds. (Excretion phase.) Even in bed he was unable to warm up for
hours, and the left leg was cold. Later heat and sweating set in and, at the same time,
his mind was clear and active and he was thirsty for cold milk.
574
Now and then haemorrhoidal itching would occur, and also the sensation of a plug
in the rectum, and later, on the pinna of the left ear, a warty growth appeared at the
place where, 25 years before, a wart had been removed by cautery. (Regressive vicariation.)
The complaints became so severe that the proving had to be broken off,
since it was affecting Stauffer’s ability to do his work.
In contrast to the constipation which is usually present, mention should also be
made of the morning diarrhoea (excretion phase), which is expelled as though under
pressure.
The tongue is usually white with a painful tip. The gums may be swollen, and
there may be ulcers in the mouth and throat, as well as swellings of the tonsils and
glands, stomach-complaints with nausea and retching, dry hair with no sheen, soft,
brittle, cracked nails, and in particular rheumatic complaints with cracking and
creaking of the joints on stretching, as in Petroleum.
An important modality of Thuja is the aggravation in damp and cold, near water,
in damp houses, in fog, at night and at rest; this becomes especially noticeable in
chronic muscular and articulatory rheumatism, and in these conditions there may be
deposits in the patient. Thus Thuja is indicated not only in Hahnemann’s sycotic
constitution, but in Grauvogel’s hydrogenoid constitution.
If we sum up the main symptoms of Thuja, the result is the following essential
remedy-picture: - Irritable mood, above all towards husband and mother, and also others in the
house, possibly alternating with euphoric indifference and angry arousal. - Uncoordinated thinking; cannot find the word when speaking; difficulties of
memory-recall. - Consequences of effects of bacterial and animal poisoning, vaccinations, snakebites
etc. Generally a remedy for chronic impregnation phases, particularly after
retoxically treated gonorrhoea, likewise in cachexia and chronic illness. Waxy
face. Hot night-sweats, which relieve, and during the day on uncovered parts of
the body (feet, hands, possibly smelling strongly). Foetid genitals sweating.
Burning and itching of the genitalia. - Great drowsiness in the afternoon and early evening, the sleep at night being
restless with anxious, gruesome or lascivious dreams. - Skin diseases within the context of deposition or reaction phases, developing out
of impregnation phases, especially warts, condylomata, papilloma, mucosal
polypi, adenoid growths, epithelial proliferations in the glands, Meibomian
cysts, ranula in the sublingual gland and Bartholin cysts. The nails are “crippled”
and break off easily. The hair is lustreless and falls out easily. Scabby skin-eruptions
like impetigo. - Neuralgias limited to small, circumscribed locations (like a nail in the head,
worse in a warm room, better in fresh air). Rheumatism, gout. Uric acid diathesis
with shooting, stabbing neuralgias and creaking and cracking of the joints. - Fixed ideas. Absurd symptoms. Incipient psychoses. Feelings of duality (schizophrenia).
Feels foetal movements without being pregnant.
575 - General aggravation in cold and wet conditions. Hydrogenoid and sycotic, also
lymphatic, constitution, with aggravation from warm applications and from
warmth of the bed, and especially from heat of the sun. - Constipation with lumpy, hard stools. Abdomen like a tortoise (Weiss’s mesenteric
oedema). Violent diarrhoea in the morning. - Genito-urinary diseases. Cystitis. Pyelitis. Urethritis. Chronic gonorrhoea. Leftsided
oophoritis with violent complaints during the menses. Pruritus vulvae.
Pointed condylomata. Bland, yellowish-green leucorrhoea. Menses arrive too
early. - There is a characteristic amelioration from regressive vicariation into humoral
phases, when eliminative processes begin.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Thuja occidentalis, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for thuja: dermal and mucosal diseases; digestive insufficiency; rheumatism;
emotional discord or upset.
Thymus – Thymus Gland see Glandula Thymi Suis.
Thymus Serpyllum see Serpyllum.
Thyreoidinum – Thyroid Gland see Glandula Thyreoidea Suis.
Thyroxine
The attenuations are prepared from L-Thyroxine, C15H11I4NO4, MW: 776.9.
When the thyroid gland is absent, either in thyroid aplasia or after surgical removal,
a typical deficiency-disease develops, known as myxoedema. In endemic
cretinism there is a degeneration of the thyroid gland, and possibly also a goitre
with colloid atrophy. The metabolism of food and energy reduces by up to 50%, but
it can be normalised again by the administration of thyroid hormone.
The thyroid hormone has particular importance for the functioning of the interstitial
mesenchym, which is generally accelerated and activated by Thyroxine, Thyroidinum
or generally by the thyroid hormones. Thus doses of the hormone are
576
given not in substitutive, but in excitative dosage (higher potencies), and are included
in combination-remedies which are aimed at activating the mesenchyme, and at
removal of the homotoxic deposits in the connective tissue.
Tonsilla Pharyngica Suis – Adenoid
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from adenoids removed from healthy
pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Lymphadenopathy. Hypertrophy of the adenoids. Disorders of mental and physical
development.
Tonsillar Pus Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from tonsillar pus, expressed from
human tonsils and sterilised.
The main indications are:

Focal illnesses, e.g. neuralgias, rheumatism, nephropathies; should also
be tried in disorders of coronary circulation, and in recurrent sinusitis. Nephrosis.
Tonsilla Suis – Tonsil
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the tonsils of a healthy pig (Sus
scrofa domesticus). The tonsils are lymphoreticular tissue situated on the borderline
between the oral cavity and the pharynx.
The main indications are:
Hypertrophy of the tonsils. Chronic tonsillitis. Enlarged lymph glands. Tubercular
glands. Exudative diathesis. May also be tried experimentally in lymphogranulomatosis
and reticulosis.
577
Tonsillitis Nosode
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgically removed, inflamed tonsils.
The indications are similar to those of Tonsillar Pus Nosode, but it is directed particularly
at retoxic impregnations following tonsillitis, as it may occur e.g. in the
form of rheumatoid polyarthritis, glomerulonephritis, nephroses, acute myocarditis,
myocardial and hepatic lesions, etc.
Tormentilla – Tormentil
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant Potentilla erecta
[L.] Raeuschel, syn.: Potentilla tormentilla Necker, gathered in the spring, a native
of Europe and the Balkans. N.O. Rosaceae.
The main indications are:

Tuba Eustachii Suis – Eustachian Tube
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the Eustachian tube (the connection
between the middle ear and the pharynx) obtained from healthy pigs (Sus scrofa
domesticus).
The main indications are:
Chronic catarrh of the Eustachian tube with tinnitus and impaired hearing. Affections
of the middle ear, e.g. oedema of the middle ear.
582
Tuberculinum – Tuberculin
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from purified Tuberculin.
According to Julian the indications for Tuberculinum extend well beyond tuberculosis
and its specific manifestations and cover a successful application in the treatment
of psoric, sycotic and of course tuberculotoxic disorders. The action of Tuberculinum
is best when this nosode is not used isopathically, i.e. not in tuberculosis itself,
but according to the Law of Similars in similar illnesses, i.e. those which produce
similar symptoms. This applies to all nosodes, but is especially applicable to
Tuberculinum. Emotional depression. Tearful mood. Hypochondria. Drowsiness
during the day. Weakness of memory. Aggravation from music (Julian). Headaches,
as if the brain were encircled by an iron band, with nausea, occurring periodically in
damp weather or from the odour of coffee, especially above the right eye, also in
school-children, aggravated by the least mental effort. Restless sleep with coughing,
awaking with feelings of anxiety.
Conjunctivitis. Styes. Keratitis. Photophobia. Chronic otitis and rhinitis. Ulcerations
of the larynx. Aphonia. Bronchial asthma. Dry pleurisy with a dry, irritating
cough and pains in the chest. Palpitations. Arrhythmia. Reddish-purple complexion
(cf. Papaverinum, Belladonna, Melilotus). Hypotension. Tiredness. Sweating. Epigastric
pain. Also in gastric and duodenal ulcer, chronic cholecystitis and entero-colitis,
chronic pyelonephritis, nephritis, hydrocoele, metritis, acute and chronic arthritis,
osteochondrosis (Scheuermann’s disease), fistulae of bone-tissue, and especially
in skin diseases such as desquamating and itching eczemas with fissures, in impetigo,
psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, juvenile acne, recurring urticaria, and nightsweats
which stain the clothing yellow.
In Tuberculinum there is a characteristic vicariation between rheumatism and skin
diseases, and alternation of various phases.
Typhoidinum – Nosode of Typhus see Salmonella Typhi.
583
Ubiquinone
The attenuations are prepared from Ubiquinone, Coenzyme Q10, C59H90O4, MW:
863.4.
In pathological situations, Ubiquinone is formed in increased quantity from the
body’s own fat-deposits. In general practice it is one of the most frequently needed
quinones, since in most people the fat metabolism is disordered.
Quinone-like substances (2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzoquinone with an isoprenoid
side-chain), isolated from numerous animal organs, mitochondria, yeast,
etc., are incorported in the phosphorylation of the respiratory chain. Ubiquinone has
a powerful regeneratory action on blocked respiratory enzymes, and thus it is indicated
in all impregnation, degeneration and neoplasm phases, also in viral diseases
etc.
It is complemented well by Fumaricum Acidum, since both substances are interdependent.
The type of person corresponding to the picture of Ubiquinone looks
well-nourished, has ruddy cheeks and, although strongly built in any case, has a tendency
to be over-weight and a predisposition to inflammatory illnesses. There is a
sensitivity to colds and similar infections – especially of the respiratory passages –
and a tendency towards suppurative, ulcerative processes on the skin and in the internal
organs. Ubiquinone acts in all disorders of the digestive area, in hypercholesterolaemia,
and where there is an inability fully to utilize amino-acids from the diet.
These illnesses, which manifest themselves as deficiency-symptoms in the albumin
metabolism, respond well to Ubiquinone.
Apart from inflammatory skin diseases, from soreness in infants to malignant,
oozing skin degeneration in old-age, which call for ubiquinone, it is also indicated in
chronic, suppurative processes of the mucosa with changes in the composition of the
white blood cells and an increased ESR, likewise septic illnesses of all kinds with
high fever and a danger of phlegmonal formation, the respiration being shallow, the
urine smelling foetid, or being retained, with an uraemic headache.
Ubiquinone can also completely change the course of vaccinial damage following
smallpox vaccination, or in cases of severe reaction to vaccination.
Ubiquinone can also act favourably on acne vulgaris which is leaving scars, or on
unclean, greasy, shiny facial skin covered with pustules, often accompanied by a tendency
to develop violent headaches.
The Ubiquinone patient has a tendency towards strokes. This is often suggested by
poor memory and vascular symptoms, which occur where there is a high cholesterol
level. In such cases Arnica is a good complementary remedy.
In chronic mucosal inflammations and suppurations with excoriating secretions, in
septic cold-infections, descending bronchitis, also for follow-up treatment of tuberculosis
(tuberculostatics), in highly febrile pneumonia and in asthmatic attacks (less
threatening than in Fumaricum Acidum or the other quinones), and in tormenting
nocturnal cough, particularly when provoked by every movement, Ubiquinone is indicated.
584
Ubiquinone has special affinities for the eyes, e.g. conjunctivitis, but it is also indicated
in toxoplasmosis infections, corneal erosions, paralysis of the eye muscles
following diphtheria and in infantile glaucoma, and may be used successfully in
many cases of glaucoma and retinal disease.
Further indications for Ubiquinone are otitis media, mastoiditis, otosclerosis,
eczema of the auditory canal with offensive discharge, and Eustachian-tube catarrh
with a sensation of internal itching in the ear.
Ubiquinone is related to the vagus nerve, and can compensate for vagotonia by
switching to the sympatheticotonal stage, which in many cases manifests as an activation
of masked focuses of disease. This can lead to a favourable resolution of neuralgia
and neuritis with severe pains. A reddening of the skin may develop above the
affected site, or even an eruption of herpes zoster or herpes simplex.
Ubiquinone is called for in lumbar back pain and pain in the area of dorsal vertebrae
3 and 4; also in progressing multiple sclerosis. It is also good for nervous symptoms
of drinkers, with moral decay and red or pale yellow facial discolouration,
Ubiquinone helping addicts to develop a new, regenerated will-power.
Post-operatively, Ubiquinone can prevent the danger of embolism, since its action
on the vascular walls is similar to that of rutin, taking effect within a few minutes
when suitably indicated, especially if given by intravenous injection.
An important indication is the very painful mastitis with copious suppuration, occurring
during the puerperium while breast-feeding. Likewise, Ubiquinone acts
favourably on boils (from chronic pork-consumption).
In the alimentary canal Ubiquinone acts on disorders of enzyme-activity, fermentative
dyspepsia, heartburn following consumption of meat and fatty foods, putrid
eructations hours after having eaten, stomach ulcers which are slow to heal, and especially
in acute enteritis, whilst degenerative intestinal diseases respond to Anthraquinone.
An indication for Ubiquinone in intestinal disease is especially the vicariation
with skin conditions, e.g. intestinal disorders following suppressed eczema.
Ubiquinone should also be interpolated in the treatment of kidney damage following
inoculations, after surgery, in weakness of the sphincter vesicae with dribbling of
urine, papilloma of the bladder with sudden haemorrhages, and after every course of
antibiotics, likewise after conventional treatment of syphilis and after protracted
gonorrhoea, particularly if the skin-discharges have an unpleasant odour and are associated
with eczema. It should also be interpolated where there is cancer of the genitalia,
and in breast cancer with ulceration, when degenerative symptoms appear,
and also after cancer-surgery when the wounds are reluctant to heal and there is
chronic suppuration.
Ubiquinone effects an improvement in all inflammatory skin diseases. Acne vulgaris.
Oozing eczemas with intolerable itching. Pustules. Seborrhoea and falling out
of the hair. Stubborn scrotal eczema, skin cancer with discharge of serous fluids,
also sore skin of infants and inflammation where a little soap remains on the skin,
are also pointers to Ubiquinone.
Generally speaking, Ubiquinone is indicated in severe homotoxic overloading in
cellular phases, where the body’s own defences are no longer adequate to compensate
585
for the homotoxins or the enzyme blockages which account for their existence. Thus
Ubiquinone is to be used in all cellular phases, either intercurrently or throughout.
Ulcus Ventriculi Nosode – Nosode of Gastric Ulcer
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the surgically removed inflamed
gastric mucosa.
The main indications are:
Inveterate cases of duodenal and gastric ulcer (callous ulcer), also in pre-cancerous
states and possibly in carcinoma of the stomach.
Ureter Suis
The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the ureter removed from healthy
pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus).
The main indications are:
Nephrolithiasis. Disorders of renal excretion. Prostate problems. Hydronephrosis.
Nephrosis. Pyelonephritis. Glomerulonephritis. Certain cases of renal hypertension.

system. Pruritus vulvae.
586
Uricum Acidum – Uric Acid
The attenuations are prepared from Uric acid, C5H4N4O3, MW: 168.1.
Uric acid is at the centre of the intermediate metabolism of the nucleic acids. Exogenous
uric acid has its origins in the foodstuffs, whilst endogenous uric acid arises
from the continual shedding of cells. Thus one can always use Uric Acid if disturbances
occur in the breakdown of the nucleic acids, and thus also in gouty symptoms
(cf. Colchicum etc.) One may also think of Uric Acid prophylactically in cases
of extreme carnivorous diet.
General indications are: disturbances in the intermediate uric acid metabolism,
and, experimentally, also in gout.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum uricum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
acidum uricum: gout.

Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for uva ursi: inflammations of the urinary-tract collection system.
588
Vaccininum – Smallpox Vaccine

Sec).
Also known as Vaccinotoxinum (Julian).
In cases of over-reaction following smallpox vaccination, Vaccininum may be
used in a combined injection with Variolinum. Otherwise it is indicated for
headaches, exogenous depression, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, iritis, purulent rhinitis,
rheumatic polyarthritis, rheumatic pareses, post-vaccinial nephritis with albuminuria
and haematuria, menorrhagia, chicken pox, and particularly in herpes zoster
and herpes simplex (combined injection with Variolinum). Also in erysipelas, abscesses
and acute eczema, praecordial pain, vasodilatation, stabbing chest-pains,
want of appetite and in disgust at the smell or sight of food (Julian). May be used
generally in severe toxic states and in septic illnesses.

smallpox patients.
The indications are similar to those of Vaccininum. It is especially indicated in violent,
unbearable occipital headaches, and possibly in acute glaucoma, coughing
with expectoration of sticky, thick, bloody mucus. Coppery, putrid taste. During
sleep, the tongue hangs out of the mouth (Julian). Abdominal distension with vomiting

and Pylorus.
Veratrum Album – White Hellebore
The mother tincture is prepared from the carefully dried rootstock of the plant Veratrum
album L., a native of Central and Southern Europe and Northern Asia.
N.O. Liliaceae.
White Hellebore (Veratrum album) contains poisonous alkaloids, of which the
most important are germerine, jervine, rubijervine and protoveratrine, whose action
covers principally the peripheral nerve-endings, the striated muscles, the vascular
system and the heart.
In poisonings with Veratrum, initial excitement gives way to paralysis. There are
violent attacks of colic with vomiting and watery diarrhoea, soon followed by collapse,
which is typical of Veratrum Album. There is weakness and unsteadiness with
coldness, pallor or cyanosis and anxiety-states. Especially typical is cold sweat on
the forehead, and general cold sweating.
These poisoning symptoms may occur in asthma and other chronic diseases, especially
in vascular and heart disease, but may also dominate the picture in acute
shock, poisonings, myocardial infarction or stroke. In every case where there is cold
sweating, Veratrum Album is strictly indicated.
Nash makes reference to the fact that Veratrum Album is one of Hahnemann’s
three remedies for cholera, the others being Camphora and Cuprum Metallicum. Veratrum
should also be thought of first of all in typhus fever, pneumonia, cholera infantum,
or in constipation when toxic symptoms appear and there is cold sweat on
the forehead; likewise in states of collapse and syncope. The dehydration resulting
from copious diarrhoea like rice-water, with extremely violent cutting pains, leads to
muscle-cramps, particularly in the calf-muscles, and complete exhaustion after vomiting
and purging.
In many cases Veratrum Album can also bring about a surprising improvement in
aphthous ulcers of the tongue in stomatitis or glossitis, especially when there is
burning, salivation and a bitter taste as of bile.
591
All complaints are aggravated at night in the warmth of the bed, and also by cold
food and drink and in damp weather. There is also a back-lash aggravation, e.g. in
puerperal mania or hystero-epilepsy when the menses cease or sweating is suppressed,
or also as a consequence of fright, fear, anger and vexation. However, there
is an amelioration from walking about and from getting up.
The mental and emotional symptoms are also characteristic. There is mania, including
nymphomania and puerperal mania, or melancholia with excitement or with
outbursts of temper and rage, alternating with sadness, lack of courage, despondency
and silence, or else with cheerful, happy liveliness and erotic phantasies. In states of
excitement there may be an irresistible urge to cut up or tear up various objects, e.g.
paper or clothing, and this may be accompanied by lascivious or frivolous remarks,
dirty jokes and a crude turn of phrase. This great intensity and loquacity, the patient
possibly talking to him/herself incessantly but falling silent if anyone else enters the
room, is characteristic of Veratrum Album and is seen, e.g., in delirium tremens or
Korsakov’s psychosis.
There may also be delirium linked with delusions of grandeur and apprehension,
as though something terrible lay ahead, possibly with loss of memory and a sensation
as though everything were a dream.
Veratrum Album is indicated for a whole series of other symptoms, e.g. sneezing
and hallucinations of smell with dry, sore nasal mucosa, shivering, heat and outbursts
of sweating in succession, chill while sweating, intermittent fever with collapse,
palpitations with fear, cardiac collapse and fainting attacks, thready pulse,
and asthmatic constriction of the chest.
On the skin there is itching, formication and herpes. Pustules and eruptions like
urticaria may also be present.
As in Sanguinaria the mucosa of eyes, nose, mouth, pharynx and stomach may be
red and dry with a violent burning sensation and possible occurrence of haemorrhages.
In rheumatic pain Veratrum Album, like Valeriana, can have a beneficial effect.
Generally low potencies (4X to 6X) are used, and particularly in states of collapse
these have an excellent effect, although higher potencies (30X and above) likewise
act well in particular cases.
If the symptoms are summed up, the following are the main features of the remedy-
picture of Veratrum Album: - Cold sweating, especially on the forehead, but also occurring on the body. States
of collapse in asthma, circulatory and heart-disease, apoplexy, after accidents
(traumatic shock), in gastrointestinal illnesses and colic, myocardial infarction. - Aphthous stomatitis. Cholera, dysentery, diarrhoea, acute gastroenteritis.
- Muscular cramps, particularly in the calves, may occur at night or following severe
diarrhoea (cholera), or in consequence of fright, fear, vexation or anger. - Back-lash effects of suppressed menstruation, lochia etc. in the form of excited
states with mania, hystero-epilepsy, nymphomania. Korsakov’s psychosis. Tendency
to tear up and destroy paper, clothes and other objects. Violence. Episodes
592
of rage. Lascivious talk. Sexual excitement. Religious mania. Talking to oneself.
Otherwise silent. - All kinds of colic with cold sweat in pearls on the forehead, with internal burning
and thirst for large quantities of cold water. - Aggravation in damp weather, at rest and in the warmth of the bed; amelioration
when up and moving about.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Veratrum album, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
veratrum: threatening circulatory failure associated with infectious diseases; diarrhoea;
neuralgia; emotional distress associated with an increase in drive.
Verbascum – Mullein
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower without lignified
stalks, of Verbascum thapsiforme Schrad., syn. Verbascum densiflorum Bertol.,
which occurs commonly on sandy soil in Central and Southern Europe. N.O. Scrophulariaceae.

Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Verbascum thapsiforme, published
the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal
Gazette) for verbascum: inflammations of the upper respiratory passages and of the
paranasal sinus cavities; neuralgia in cranial and thoracic areas.
Veronica – Fluellein/Paul’s Betony
The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Veronica officinalis
L.. N.O. Scrophulariaceae.
Veronica contains a glycoside, aucubin, and essential oil, tannins and bitter principles
and is used mainly as a mild expectorant in chronic and acute bronchial catarrhs
with coughing, and especially in catarrhs of a tubercular aetiology, such as those
which accompany enlargement of the hilar glands.
In tubercular children, skin conditions such as chronic eczema and dermatoses
are often found, and Veronica is also a remedy for these. Such children also frequently
suffer from intercurrent coryza (running nose), which should be regarded as
593
excretion of homotoxins and must not be suppressed under any circumstances. This
serous rhinitis also responds to Veronica.
Thus Veronica is found mostly in combination-remedies which are aimed at the
symptoms of tuberculosis and glandular swelling, and at catarrhal conditions.
A proving of this substance was conducted in the fall and winter of 1993 by
Dr. David Riley.
Congruent symptoms with Dr. Reckeweg:
• persistent bronchial coughing
• coryza

On the basis of research into homotoxins it has been proved that homoeopathic
remedies are stimulators of enzyme-activity. Disease is a fight against poisons or the
expression of damage by poisons, and this is expressed in the six phases of toxicosis.
What follows is a tabulation of homotoxicoses with the six homotoxic phases: - Excretion phases, (eliminative), which correspond to all the physiological excretions
via the ectodermal tissues. - Reaction phases (or reply-periods), which correspond to all inflammations in the
ectodermal tissues, and must be regarded as the reply of the body’s defence-systems
(Greater Defensive System) to the infiltration of a poison. Inflammations or
reaction phases serve to separate off and eliminate poisons in the form of pus,
mucus, etc., by means of the defensive reactions taking place in the connective
tissues. - Deposition phases are when homotoxins of which the body would have rid itself
in the first three homotoxic phases now form deposits, coupled with non-toxic
homotoxones.
Now follow the three Cellular phases, which are characterised by toxic damage to
cellular structures. These are:
599 - Impregnation phases, characterised by the penetration of poisons into the cells
themselves; - Degeneration phases, in which cell-enzymes or even genetic factors suffer more
or less irreversible damage; - Neoplasm phases (cancerous) which come about as a result of the action of carcinogens.
Now homoeopathic remedies act within the context of the Reverse effect (Arndt-
Schulz Law) and Hahnemann’s Law of Similars as specific stimulants of antitoxins.
Through the homoeopathic remedy the body is given a substance which is similar to
the original disease-poison and is itself capable of evoking similar disease-symptoms.
Thus it is necessary to dilute these stimulatively-acting irritants, so as to prevent
any further strengthening of the general toxic state. As a result of the dilution
and potentisation by succession or trituration, a considerable increase in the surface
area takes place, by means of which the action of the related antidote can be more
clearly expressed, having been “wrought” to a certain extent. In a similar way, not a
great deal can be done with a block of iron, but if it is rolled out and the surface-area
increased, the most incredible objects and structures can be made with it (machines,
bicycles, etc.).
The case is similar with homoeopathic remedies, which occupy certain key roles
in enzyme-conversion. In many cases the mechanism operates through immunological
channels, especially when sarcodes and nosodes are used, and possibly also
through the induction of enzymes by the administering of highly attenuated endproducts,
which may possibly act as co-repressors, especially in organs with cellular
damage.
In many cases regeneratively acting enzyme-functions cannot take effect because
of the absence of the corresponding coenzymes and trace elements, and particularly
of vitamins, since in large measure these take over the functions of coenzymes.
The giving of vitamin-combination preparations is especially effective, in which
there are also other enzyme stimulants such as intermediary catalysts (Citric Acid
cycle, quinones etc.) and trace elements (Manganese, Magnesium, Cerium etc.) but
possibly also disease-secretions (nosodes) in higher potency. These probably act as
co-repressors, so that a massive regeneratory effect results from the total action of
the medicament, which could never be achieved with isolated single remedies. By
this development new paths have been opened up for homoeopathy in the treatment
of cellular phases which would otherwise have appeared hopeless, particularly in the
case of degeneration and neoplasm phases.
Dilutions of the vitamins result, which lie between the 3rd and approximately the
6th to 8th decimal potency. This fact has swept away the former seemingly irretrievable
prejudice in the field of vitamin research, that little cannot achieve much. When
administering homoeopathically-active substances for antidotal purposes, it is not a
question of how much is given, but of giving the correct antihomotoxic agent, so that
the specific antidotal factor comes into play. In cellular phases (to the right of the Biological
Division), in other words in most chronic diseases which are recognised as
such, a single remedy is usually not sufficient, although from time to time one may
600
be indicated and may prove very useful. A toxic state which has become gradually
and increasingly more serious on account of much preceding abuse must be countered
with a combined antidotal prescription, and this has been borne out superbly
by experience with composite remedies, antihomotoxic and biotherapeutic preparations,
some of which also contain vitamins.

Yohimbine – Yohimbine hydrochloride
The attenuations are prepared from Yohimbine hydrochloride, C21H27ClN2O3, MW:
390.9, an alkaloid used as a sympathicolytic (Potentised allopathic compound).
The main indications are:
Congestions in the area of the sexual organs. Male impotence. States of exhaustion,
e.g. after severe emotional strain. Prophylactic use after surgery on the genitourinary
tract, to stem any consequent flooding of blood into the area (inflammation).
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Yohimbine, published the following
indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
yohimbine: sexual hyperexcitability.
608
Zincum Cyanatum – Zinc Cyanide
The attenuations are prepared from Zinc cyanide, Zn(CN)2, MW: 117.4.
The main indications are:
Cramps and symptoms of paralysis. Sydenham’s chorea. Epilepsy.
The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of
Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Zincum cyanatum, published the
following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for
zincum cyanatum: spasmodic conditions.
Zincum Gluconicum – Zinc Gluconate
The attenuations are prepared from Zinc-D-gluconate, the Zinc salt of D-gluconic
acid, C12H22ZnO14 · 3H2O, MW: 509.7.
Gluconic acid is distinguished from glucose (sugar) simply by the fact that, instead
of the alcohol group of sugar, it has an acid group (COOH). Gluconic acid is a
development of sugar and represents a practically ubiquitous biological unit; by coupling
it with zinc, the opportunities for influencing various enzyme functions are
clearly enhanced. For indeed, zinc has many trace element functions to fulfil. After
iron, zinc is the trace element present in the largest quantities in the body. Zinc deficiency
has an influence in many respects upon cancer. Thus, in the blood supply of
neoplasms there is practically always a zinc deficiency, the consequence of which is
faulty enzyme function. The deaminases of the lymphocytes only work in the presence
of zinc. Alcohol dehydrogenase (of yeast) is a zinc proteid, likewise glutaminic
acid hydrogenase and lactic acid hydrogenase, which are found in the liver and can
be formed from it. Alcohol dehydrogenase dehydrates glycerine to form glycerine
aldehyde. In animal tissues the enzyme reacts with pyruvic acid, the active group
thus being dehydrated again.
Carbonic anhydrase, which catalyses the reversible fission of carbonic acid in
water and CO2, contains 0.2–0.3% zinc, zinc thus being an essential component of
the enzyme (molecular weight approx. 30,000). Carbonic anhydrase is also found in
erythrocytes, in the gastric mucosa and in the epithelium of the renal glomeruli, and
it can be blocked by inhibiting drug-treatments. This has an effect on the acid excretion
from the kidneys, and may inhibit it, which leads to acidosis of the blood. By
giving zinc it is possible, according to the Reversal effect, to achieve a re-induction
of the blocked enzyme.
Carbonic anhydrase also plays a part in the secretion of gastric juices or hydrochloric
acid by providing carbonic acid which is necessary for the neutralisation
of the hydroxyl ions.
609
Zinc forms complexes with insulin, the peptide chains in the insulin crystal being
attached to the imidazole groups because of a chelation. The insulin-producing
-cells of the islets of Langerhans are particularly rich in zinc, probably attached to
zinc complexes.
Pancreatic carboxypeptidase also contains zinc, SH-groups taking part in the
bonding of the enzyme substrate, which once again proves the importance of the
SH-groups.
Thus, by the administering of zinc compounds, it is possible to influence important
enzyme functions, e.g. in anaemia, diabetes mellitus, liver damage, kidney diseases,
degeneration phases, and particularly neoplasm phases.
Zincum Metallicum – Zinc
The attenuations are prepared from metallic Zinc, Zn, AW: 65.4.
Zincum Metallicum is a great nerve-remedy, exerting a fundamental action both
on the brain and on the autonomic centres, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic
nervous systems.
Likewise, Zinc is also an anti-psoric, and suited to cachectic patients with great
weakness, which is a dominant feature of the entire provings of the remedy. Particularly
when eruptions have been suppressed, or are slow to appear, e.g. in measles, or
if symptoms of cerebral irritation occur after smallpox vaccination and there is a
threat of viral encephalitis, then Zincum Metallicum, together with other medicaments
which provoke a regressive vicariation, is able to release the homotoxins from
the nervous system and to break them down by way of the vaccination pustules,
which once more become inflamed. Similar action has been known in Sulphur and
Cuprum. In particular these effects of reactivating blocked enzyme-systems have
often been described with reference to Sulphur.
Among the chronic symptoms of Zinc we find nerve pains and muscular twitching,
as well as a general nervousness and hypersensitivity. Patients become excited
at the slightest cause, manifesting emaciation, exhaustion and paralytic weakness, all
functions being depressed, including the skin eruptions and the excretions (e.g.
delay of the menarche).
Sydenham’s chorea (St. Vitus’ dance) and tics are also found, as well as sensitivity
to noise, so that the patient cannot bear speech or even the rustling of paper. The
weakly children are often mentally underdeveloped, especially when measles or
scarlet fever has been retoxically treated. They tend towards cramps. The excretory
functions may also be depressed, with difficulty in urination and defaecation.
There are peripheral symptoms in the nervous system, with numbness of the soles
of the feet and cutting pains in the heel, or stabbing pains as occur in tabes dorsalis.
These conditions may proceed to the point of complete paralysis or hemiparesis
with twitching, tremors and weakness. There are frequently consequences of fright
610
and of sexual excesses, and also of retoxic impregnation phases, resulting in general
marasmus.
There is amelioration during meals, during the menses and from restored or increased
discharges, whilst there is a characteristic aggravation after lunch and after
drinking wine. A particularly prominent symptom is great restlessness in the legs,
which have to be constantly on the move. Twitching is generally characteristic of
Zincum, as it is of Agaricus (tics).
Gastro intestinal disorders are present, with a bitter or sweetish taste and salivation,
and also aversion and disgust for sugar (the opposite of Argentum Nitricum).
Constipation is prominent, although there may be passing bouts of diarrhoea. The
stools are large and lumpy and difficult to pass, leading to possible bleeding from
haemorrhoids.
The general sensitivity to touch is also seen in the genitalia, as in Platina. Menstruation
is heavy with clots. With the onset of the period other complications disappear
as a result of the elimination of toxic materials.
Migraines may also be present, associated with disturbances of vision, facial pallor
and vomiting. Zinc also has a beneficial action on corneal ulcers with pannuslike
growths over the cornea. The skin itself is subject to vesicular eruptions, herpes
zoster and a tendency to chilliness.
Nash mentions – in addition to the spasmodic twitching and jerking of various
muscles – general trembling as an important leading symptom and considers the intolerance
of wine to be an important indication for the use of Zinc.
Zinc has some similarities with the indications for Cobaltum with regard to the
sexual excesses and the weakness, especially when back pain is aggravated by sitting.
These pains can also be relieved by Pulsatilla if they occur in association with
menstrual disorders and otherwise respond to Ammonium Muriaticum.
If the main symptoms of Zincum are summed up, the result is the following essential
remedy-picture: - Nervous affections with weakness and exhaustion, vertigo and swimming in the
head. - Stubborn occipital headache, frontal headache and pressure at the root of the nose.
- Great restlessness of the legs, which have to be constantly moving to and fro.
- Trembling with weakness and twitching. Tics. Sydenham’s chorea. Backache,
especially while seated. - Suppressed skin-eruptions and exanthemata (measles, scarlet fever, under-developed
vaccinial pustules after smallpox vaccination). Zincum brings out the
eruption by regressive vicariation. - A high degree of hypersensitivity to noises.
- Swimming in the head, vertigo and shakiness. Starting up out of sleep. Migraines
with dimming of vision. Paroxysmal laughing. - Aggravation from drinking wine and after fright.
- Peripheral neuralgias. Sensitivity to touch (female genitalia). Dysmenorrhoea,
relieved by the onset of the period. Oophoritis, left side. - Corneal ulcers. Pterygium.

NATURE CURE
Foreword
For people who advocate and recognise the latent healing power of nature like my esteemed
friend and fellow practitioner, Shri H.K. Bakhru, naturopathy is a way of life. It is a distinct
philosophy and science which strengthens the age-old faith in the correction of bodily disorders
and restoration and main- tenance of health through elements freely available in nature. It brings
home the basic fact that healing is brought about by the inherent curative powers of the body.
The simplicity of this method should not deter individuals from its use. The final complete healing
will come from within. In short, the naturopath lends intelligent assistance and interprets nature’s
laws for the patient.
Shri H.K. Bakhru who has contributed numerous articles to leading newspapers and magazines
on various ailments and their cure through dietetics and nature cure treatments, has already to
his credit the authorship of three books on nature cure : ‘Health the Natural Way’, ‘Diet Cure for
Common Ail- ments’ and ‘ Foods That Heal ’. All three have been well received by the public.
A news item appear in newspapers recently about a famous French folk singer, Rike Zarai, who
had never practised naturopathy but her faith, based on her personal experience, turned her into
an authority on herbs and nature cure. At the Height of her career as a singer, Rika met with an
accident, when her car went off the road, due to poor visibility on account of fog and she was
taken from the wreckage with four broken vertebrae, one of which was pulverised. The attending
doctors indicated that she might not be able to walk again without crutches.
To make matters worse, she had a calcium deficiency. On the brink of suicide, she appealed for
help to an eminent homeopath. Clay compresses were smuggled into the hospital and she
applied them regularly to her back. Her surgeon was outraged when she attributed her
remarkable recovery not to his skill but to the clay. With the zeal of a convert, she applied herself
to the wider study of natural medicine.
She has authored two books, titled ‘ma Medicine Naturelle’ and ‘ her secrets Naturelles ‘. As
many as 2,80,000 copies of the first book were sold. Both the books have challenged the realms
of Medical world.
For Shri H.K. Bakhru’s new book titled ‘ A Complete Hand-book of Nature Cure.’ is complete
guide to naturopahy. This book offers a way which, if followed, will provide renewed energy,
increased vitality and greater satisfaction that comes from living a full and useful life.
The author has advocated that the right food could work wonders and has tremendous curative
power. Nutrition is the major problem of human life. This book can also be appropriately titled ‘
Return to Nature ‘. The aim of naturopathy is to invigorate and stimulate the body’s homeostatic
mechanism, to restore health structure and function. One can enjoy perfect health by proper
regulation of eating, drinking, breathing, bathing, dressing, working, thinking, and other social
activities on a normal and natural basis.
I wish the author Shri H.K. Bakhru all success for the publication of this book.

NATURE CURE
Preface
Nature cures, not the physician – Hippocrates
What, you may ask, is a public relations man doing writing a book on nature cure ? The answer
is simple : good health ought to be everybody’s concern, not solely the medical profession’s
business. More importantly, in my own case, I suffered immen- sely, for many years, largely due
to the shortcomings of the modern medical system. In my despair, I earnestly began my study of
natural methods of treatment and cure of disease, as also the ways and means of maintaining
good health. Putting the time-tested nature cure methods into practice proved so beneficial in my
own case, that I took to studying their application for several other diseases as well. What began
as mere jottings was gradually expanded into full-length articles on the subject ” Cure Without
Drugs „, several of which were published in „The Economic Times. ” The readers’ response to
the series was overwhelming and several of them suggested that the articles be complied in
book form, to benefit more people. „Health the Natural Way ” was the result. This book as well
as my second book titled ” Diet Cure For Common Ailments ” published three years laters, was
well received by the press and the public. This fact coupled with the immense popularity of my
articles on health, nutrition and nature cure being published in several leading newspapers and
magazines, have prompted me to write a comprehensive book on nature cure under the present
title for the benefit of the general public.
Experience, they say, is the most convincing teacher, and I would like to begin with details of my
own case history as a means of indicating the major health problems that nature cure can
overcome. While doing my intermediate arts, at the age of 16, I contracted two serious illness –
pleurisy and typhoid fever – simultaneously. Having run their course for about 45 days, both
ailments left me so debilitated that I had to dis- continue my studies for one year, on medical
advice.
My recovery was gradually but not complete, as I developed heartburn and breathing problems.
At 28 came the worst crisis, when I suffered a stroke in the early hours of an extremely hot day
in May after acute heartburn throughout the night. The stroke made the left side of my body
extremely heavy and weak, and the attending physician referred my case to a well- known
neurosurgeon, suspecting a brain tumour. For nearly two months I lay helpless in the special
ward of a reputed hospital, undergoing several tests and at the same time observing around me
frequent deaths following unsuccessful brain surgery. Finally, having twice failed to inject air
through the spinal cord for taking X-rays of the brain, the specialist decided to make holes in my
skull for that purpose and even operate if necessary. Fortunately for me, the specialist had to
attend a medical conference elsewhere and, therefore, instructed his assistant to try the
newly-introduced method of cerebral angiography, which involved injecting dye through an
exposed vein in the neck to enable X-raying of veins in the brain. When these X-rays did not
reveal anything abnormal, I was allowed to go, but not before the harrowing experience had left
me a complete nervous wreck.
However, that was not the end of it. I underwent a barium meal examination which indicated „
Chronic doudenitis, may be chronic duodenal ulcer.” The numerous drugs prescribed for the
treatment of this ailment and the continuing weakness and heaviness of my left side made my
condition worse still. I endured this for three years, until the pain and heaviness of the left side
was miraculously cured by an astrologer : But nothing could rid me of the heartburn, abdominal
pain and occasional severe stomach upsets, which continued to necessiate the use of several
drugs. Investigations, from time to time, confirmed the diagnosis of duodenitis or chronic
duodenal ulcer. A barium meal examination , done when I was 39, revealed hiatus hernia with
peptic oesophegal ulcers.
To add to all of this, at 45, an eminent heart specialist declared me a heart patient, following a
check-up due to pain on the left side of my chest. The heavy drugging, dieting etc. that ensued
Preface
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/preface.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:11:38 PM]
completely ruined my health and resulted in insomnia and a weight loss of 15 kg. Consulting
another eminent heart specialist two years later, I was informed that there was no evidence
whatsoever of heart trouble, but he confirmed the presence of hiatus hernia and stomach
trouble. God alone knows which diagnosis was correct : Then came a host of diseases in rapid
succession – spondylosis, myalgia, backache and prostate enlargement, in treating all of which
the modern medical system failed to give me any relief, despite taking huge quantities of drugs,
especially painkillers, antacid tablets and tranquillisers.
All this time, I was aware of the natural methods of treatment which I had studied from the age of
30 and a few of which I had practised occassionally. I , however, dared not adopt them
wholeheartedly because of my heavy dependence on drugs. Rather late in the day, at the age of
55, I made a determined bid to do away with all drugs and take recourse to natural methods. I
began collecting and studying a greater deal of data on the subject and also consulted
naturopaths. I made drastic changes in my diet and lifestyle and started rigidly observing the
laws of nature. I was rewarded sooner than expected so much so, that for one who narrowly
escaped death at the age of 28, when my son was a year old, I can proudly say that today, at
64, when I have a nine-year-old grandson, I feel healthier, thanks mainly to my taking recourse
to nature cure methods. Of course, I do not claim that I have cured all my ailments. But I do
maintain that I have been able to control them substantially and have obtained a lot of relief
without resorting to drugs. This, I feel, is no mean achievement. I am certain that my own
success in controlling several dreaded disabilities will serve as inspiration to those readers who
are suffering from various ailments and hold out the hope of their deriving real benefits from the
natural methods of treatment outlined in this book.

NATURE CURE
Principles and Practice of Nature Cure
Nature Cures, not the Physician.
- Hippocrates
Nature cure is a constructive method of treatment which aims at removing the basic cause of
disease through the rational use of the elements freely available in nature. It is not only a system
of healing, but also a way of life, in tune with the internal vital forces or natural elements
comprising the human body. It is a complete revolution in the art and science of living.
Although the term ‘ naturopathy’ is of relatively recent origin, the philosophical basis and several
of the methods of nature cure treatments are ancient. It was practised in ancient Egypt, Greece
and Rome. Hippocrates, the father of medicine ( 460-357 B.C.) strongly advocated it. India, it
appears, was much further advanced in older days in natural healing system than other
countries of the world. There are references in India’s ancient sacred books about the extensive
use of nature’s excellent healing agents such as air, earth, water and sun. The Great Baths of
the Indus Valley civilisation as discovered at Mohenjodaro in old Sind testifies to the use of water
for curative purposes in ancient India.
The modern methods of nature cure originated in Germany in 1822, when Vincent Priessnitz
established the first hydropathic establishment there. With his great success in water cure, the
idea of drugless healing spread throughout the civilised world and many medical practitioners
throughout the civilised world and many medical practitioners from America and other countries
became his enthusiastic students and disciples. These students subsequently enlarged and
developed the various methods of natural healing in their own way. The whole mass of
knowledge was later collected under one name, Naturopathy. The credit for the name
Naturopathy goes to Dr. Benedict Lust ( 1872 – 1945), and hence he is called the Father of
Naturopathy.
Nature cure is based on the realisation that man is born healthy and strong and that he can stay
as such as living in accordance with the laws of nature. Even if born with some inherited
affliction, the individual can eliminate it by putting to the best use the natural agents of healing.
Fresh air, sunshine, a proper diet, exercise, scientific relaxation, constructive thinking and the
right mental attitude, along with prayer and meditation all play their part in keeping a sound mind
in a sound body.
Nature cure believes that disease is an abnormal condition of the body resulting from the
violation of the natural laws. Every such violation has repercussions on the human system in the
shape of lowered vitality, irregularities of the blood and lymph and the accumulation of waste
matter and toxins. Thus, through a faulty diet it is not the digestive system alone which is
adversely affected. When toxins accumulate, other organs such as the bowels, kidneys, skin and
lungs are overworked and cannot get rid of these harmful substances as quickly as they are
produced.
Besides this, mental and emotional disturbances cause imbalances of the vital electric field
within which cell metabolism takes place, producing toxins. When the soil of this electric filed is
undisturbed, disease-causing germs can live in it without multiplying or producing toxins. It is
only when it is disturbed or when the blood is polluted with toxic waste that the germs multiply
and become harmful.
Basic Principles
The whole philosophy and practice of nature cure is built on three basic principles. These
principles are based on the conclu sions reached from over a century of effective naturopathic
treatment of diseases in Germany, America and Great Britain. They have been tested and
proved over and over again by the results obtained.
Principles and Practice of Nature Cure
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap1.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:12:11 PM]
The first and most basic principle of nature cure is that all forms of disease are due to the same
cause, namely, the accumulations of waste materials and bodily refuse in the system. These
waste materials in the healthy individual are removed from the system through the organs of
elimination. But in the diseased person, they are steadily piling up in the body through years of
faulty habits of living such as wrong feeding, improper care of the body and habits contributing to
enervation and nervous exhaustion such as worry, overwork and excesses of all kinds. It follows
from this basic principle that the only way to cure disease is to employ methods which will
enable the system to throw off these toxic accumulations. All natural treatments are actually
directed towards this end.
The second basic principle of nature cure is that all acute diseases such as fevers, colds,
inflammations, digestive disturbances and skin eruptions are nothing more than self-initiated
efforts on the part of the body to throw off the accumulated waste materials and that all chronic
diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, rheumatism, asthma, kidney disorders, are the results
of continued suppression of the acute diseases through harmful methods such as drugs,
vaccines, narcotics and gland extracts.
The third principle of nature cure is that the body contains an eleborate healing mechanism
which has the power to bring about a return to normal condition of health, provided right
methods are employed to enable it to do so. In other words, the power to cure disease lies within
the body itself and not in the hands of the doctor.
Nature Cure vs Modern System
The modern medical system treats the symptoms and suppresses the disease but does little to
ascertain the real cause. Toxic drugs which may suppress or relieve some ailments usually have
harmful side-effects. Drugs usually hinder the self-healing efforts of the body and make recovery
more difficult. According to the late Sir William Osler, an eminent physician and surgeon, when
drugs are used, the patient has to recover twice – once from the illness, and once from the drug.
Drugs cannot cure diseases; disease continues. It is only its pattern that changes. Drugs also
produce dietary deficiencies by destroying nutrients, using them up, and preventing their
absorption. Moreover, the toxicity they produce occurs at a time when the body is least capable
of coping with it. The power to restore health thus lies not in drugs,but in nature.
The approach of modern system is more on combative lines after the disease has set in,
whereas nature cure system lays greater emphasis on preventive method and adopts measures
to attain and maintain health and prevent disease. The modern medical system treats each
disease as a separate entity, requiring specific drug for its cure, whereas the nature cure system
treats the organism as a whole and seeks to restore harmony to the whole of the patient’s being.
Methods of Nature Cure
The nature cure system aims at the readjustment of the human system from abnormal to normal
conditions and functions, and adopts methods of cure which are in conformity with the
constructive principles of nature. Such methods remove from the system the accumulation of
toxic matter and poisons without in any way injuring the vital organs of the body. They also
stimulate the organs of elimination and purification to better functioning.
To cure disease, the first and foremost requirement is to regulate the diet. To get rid of
accumulated toxins and restore the equilibrium of the system, it is desirable to completely
exclude acid-forming foods, including proteins, starches and fats, for a week or more and to
confine the diet to fresh fruits which will disinfect the stomach and alimentary canal. If the body is
overloaded with morbid matter, as in acute disease, a complete fast for a few days may be
necessary for the elimination of toxins. Fruit juice may, however, be taken during a fast. A simple
rule is : do not eat when you are sick, stick to a light diet of fresh fruits. Wait for the return of the
usual healthy appetite. Loss of appetite is Nature’s warning that no burden should be placed on
the digestive organs. Alkaline foods such as raw vegetables and sprouted whole grain cereals
may be added after a week of a fruits-only diet.
Another important factor in the cure of diseases by natural methods is to stimulate the vitality of
the body. This can be achieved by using water in various ways and at varying temperatures in
the form of packs or baths. The application of cold water, especially to the abdomen, the seat of
most diseases, and to the sexual organs, through a cold sitting ( hip) bath immediately lowers
body heat and stimulates the nervous system. In the form of wet packs, hydrotherapy offers a
Principles and Practice of Nature Cure
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap1.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:12:11 PM]
simple natural method of abating fevers and reducing pain and inflammation without any harmful
side-effects. Warm water applications, on the other hand, are relaxing.
Other natural methods useful in the cure of diseases are air and sunbaths, exercise and
massage. Air and sunbaths revive dead skin and help maintain it in a normal condition. Exercise,
especially yogic asanas,promotes inner health and harmony and helps eliminate all tension :
physical, mental and emotional. Massage tones up the nervous system and quickens blood
circulation and the metabolic process.
Thus a well-balanced diet, sufficient physical exercise, the observation of the other laws of
well-being such as fresh air, plenty of sunlight, pure drinking water,scrupulous cleanliness,
adequate rest and right mental attitude can ensure proper health and prevent disease.

NATURE CURE
Fasting – The Master Remedy
Fasting refers to complete abstinence from food for a short or long period for a specific purpose.
The word is derived from the old English, ‘feastan’ which means to fast, observe, be strict.
Fasting is nature’s oldest, most effective and yet least expensive method of treating disease. It is
recognised as the cornerstone of natural healing. Dr. Arnold Eheret, the originator of the
muscusless diet healing system, describes it as ” nature’s only universal and omnipotent remedy
of healing” and „nature’s only fundamental law of all healing and curing. „
The practice of fasting is one of the most ancient customs. It is followed in almost every religion.
The Mohammedan, the Buddhists, the Hindus and many others have their periods of strict
fasting. The saints of medieval times laid great stress on this method.
Fasting indisease was advocated by the school of natural philosopher, Asclepiades, more than
two thousand years ago. Throughout medical history, it has been regarded as one of the most
dependable curative methods. Hippocrates, Galen, Paracelsus and many other great authorities
on medicine prescribed it. Many noted modern physicians have successfully employed this
system of healing in the treatment of numerous diseases.
The common cause of all diseases is the accumulation of waste and poisonous matter in the
body which results from overeating. The majority of persons eat too much and follow sedentary
occupations which do not permit sufficient and proper exercise for utilisation of this large quantity
of food. This surplus overburdens the digestive and assimulative organs and clogs up the
system with impurities or poisons. Digestion and elimination become slow and the functional
activity of the whole system gets deranged.
The onset of disease is merely the process of ridding the system of these impurities. Every
disease can be healed by only one remedy – by doing just the opposite of what causes it, that is,
by reducing the food intake or fasting.
By depriving the body of food for a time ,the organs of elimination such as the bowels, kidneys,
skin and lungs are given opportunity to expel, unhampered, the overload of accumulated waste
from the system. Thus, fasting is merely the process of purification and an effective and quick
method of cure. It assists nature in her continuous effort to expel foreign matter and disease
producing waste from the body, thereby correcting the faults of improper diet and wrong living. It
also leads to regeneration of the blood as well as the repair and regeneration of the various
tissues of the body.
Duration
The duration of the fast depends upon the age of the patient, the nature of the disease and the
amount and type of drugs previously used. The duration is important, because long periods of
fasting can be dangerous if undertaken without competent professional guidance. It is, therefore,
advisable to undertake a series of short fasts of two to three days and gradually increase the
duration of each succeeding fast by a day or so. The period, however, should not exceed a week
of total fasting at a time. This will enable the chronically sick body to gradually and slowly
eliminate toxic waste matter without seriously affecting the natural functioning of the body. A
correct mode of living and a balanced diet after the fast will restore vigour and vitality to the
individual.
Fasting is highly beneficial in practically all kinds of stomach and intestinal disorders and in
serious conditions of the kidneys and liver. It is a miracle cure for eczema and other skin
diseases and offers the only hope of permanent cure in many cases. The various nervous
disorders also respond favourably to this mode of treatment.
Fasting should, however, not be restored to in every illness. In cases of diabetes, advanced
stages of tuberculosis, and extreme cases of neurasthenia, long fasts will be harmful. IN most
cases, however , no harm will accrue to fasting patients, provided they take rest, and are under
proper professional care.
Fasting – The Master Remedy
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap2.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:12:34 PM]
Methods
The best, safest and most effective method of fasting is juice fasting. Although the old classic
form of fasting was a pure water fast, most ofthe leading authorities on fasting today agree that
juice fasting is far superior to a water fast. According to Dr. Rangar Berg, the world -famous
authority on nutrition, „During fasting the body burns up and excretes huge amounts of
accumulated wastes. We can help this cleansing process by drinking alkaline juice instead of
water while fasting … Elimina tion of uric acid and other inorganic acids will be accelerated. And
sugars in juices will strengthen the heart … juice fasting is, therefore, the best form of fasting. „
Vitamins, minerals, enzymes and trace elements in fresh, raw vegetable and fruit juices are
extremely beneficial in normalising all the body processes. They supply essential elements for
the body’s own healing activity and cell renegeration and thus speeding the recovery. All juices
should be prepared from fresh fruit immediately before drinking. Canned or frozen juices should
not be used.
A precautionary measure which must be observed in all cases of fasting is the complete
emptying of the bowels at the beginning of the fast by enema so that the patient is not bothered
by gas or decomposing matter formed from the excrements remaining in the body. Enemas
should be administered at least every alternate day during the fasting period. The patient should
get as much fresh air as possible and should drink plain lukewarm water when thirsty. Fresh
juices may be diluted with pure water. The total liquid intake should be approximately six to eight
glasses.
A lot of energy is spent during the fast in the process of eliminating accumulated poisons and
toxic waste materials. It is, therfore, of utmost importance that the patients gets as much
physical rest and mental relaxation as possible during the fast. IN cases of fasts in which fruit
juices are taken, especially when fresh grapes, oranges or grapefruit are used exclusively, the
toxic wastes enter the blood -stream rapidly, resulting in an overload of toxic matter, which
affects normal bodily functions. This often results in dizzy spells, followed by diarrhoea and
vomiting. If this physical reaction persists, it is advisable to discontinue the fast and take cooked
vegetables containing adequate roughage such as spinach and beets until the body functioning
returns to normal.
The overweight person finds it much easier to go without food. Loss of weight causes no fear
and the patient’s attitude makes fasting almost a pleasure. The first day’s hunger pangs are
perhaps the most difficult to bear. The craving for food will, however, gradually decrease as the
fast progresses. Seriously sick persons have no desire for food and fasting comes naturally to
them. The simples rule is to stop eating until the appetite returns or until one feels completely
well.
Only very simple exercises like short walks may be undertaken during the fast. A warm water or
neutral bath may be taken during the period. Cold baths are not advisable. Sun and air baths
should be taken daily. Fasting sometimes produces a state of sleeplessness which can be
overcome by a warm tub bath, hot water bottles at the feet and by drinking one or two glasses of
hot water.
Benefits
There are several benefit of fasting. During a long fast, the body feeds upon its reserves. Being
deprived of needed nutrients, particularly of protein and fats, it will burn and digest its own
tissues by the process of autolysis or self-digestion. But it will not do so indistriminately. The
body will first decompose and burn those cells and tissues which are diseased, damaged, aged
or dead. The essential tissues and vital organs, the glands, the nervous system and the brain
are not damaged or digested in fasting. Here lies the secret of the effectiveness of fasting as a
curative and rejuvenative method. During fasting, the building of new and healthy cells are
speeded up by the amino acids released from the diseased cells. The capacity of the eliminative
organs, that is, lungs, liver, kidneys and the skin is greatly increased as they are relieved of the
usual burden of digesting food and eliminating the resultant wastes. They are, therefore, able to
quickly expel old accumulated wastes and toxins.
Fasting affords a physiological rest to the digestive, assimilative and protective organs. As a
result, the digestion of food and the utilisation of nutrients is greatly improved after fasting. The
fast also exerts a normalising, stablising and rejuvenating effect on all the vital physiological,
nervous and mental functions.

Breaking of Fast
The success of the fast depends largely on hos it is broken. This is the most significant phase.
The main rules for breaking the fast are : do not overeat, eat slowly and chew your food
thoroughly ; and take several days for the gradual change to the normal diet. If the transition to
eating solid foods is carefully planned, there will be no discomfort or damage. The patient should
also continue to take rest during the transition period. The right food after a fast is as important
and decisive for proper results as the fast itself.

NATURE CURE
Therapeutic Baths
Water has been used as a valuable therapeutic agent since time immemorial. In all major
ancient civilizations, bathing was considered an important measure for the maintenance of
health and prevention of disease. It was also valued for its remedial properties. The ancient
Vedic literature in India contains numerous references to the efficacy of water in the treatment of
disease.
In modern times, the therapeutic value of water was popularised by Vincent Priessnitz, Father
Sebastian Kneipp, Louis Kuhne and other European water-cure pioneers. They raised water
cure to an institutional level and employed it successfully for the treatment of almost every
known disease. There are numerous spas and „Bads” in most European countries where
therapeutic baths are used as a major healing agent.
Water exerts beneficial effects on the human system. It equalises circulation, boosts muscular
tone and aids digestion and nutrition. It also tones up the activity of perspiratory gland and in the
process eliminates the damaged cells and toxic matter from the system.
The common water temperature chart is : cold 100C to 180C, neutral 320C to 360C and hot 400C
to 450C. Above 450C, water loses its therapeutic value and is destructive.
The main methods of water treatment which can be employed in the healing of various diseases
in a do-it-yourself manner are described below.
ENEMA
Also known as rectal irrigation, an enema involves the injection of fluid into the rectum. In nature
cure treatment, only lukewarm water is used for cleaning the bowels. The patient is made to lie
on his left side extending his left leg and bending the right leg slightly. The enema nozzle,
lubricated with oil or vaseline, is inserted in the rectum. The enema can containing the lukewarm
water is then slowly raised and water is allowed to enter into the rectum. Generally, one to two
litres of water is injected. The patient may either lie down on his back or walk a little while
retaining the water. After five to 10 minutes, the water can be ejected along with the
accumulated morbid matter.
A warm water enema helps to clean the rectum of accumulated faecal matter. This is not only
the safest system for cleaning the bowels, but also improves the peristaltic movement of the
bowels and thereby relieves constipation. A cold water enema is helpful in inflammatory
conditions of the colon, especially in cases of dysentery, diarrhoea, ulcerative colitis,
haemorrhoids and fever. A hot water enema is beneficial in relieving irritation due to
inflammation of the rectum and painfull haemorrhoids. It also benefits women in leucorrhoea.
COLD COMPRESS
This is a local application using a cloth which has been wrung out in cold water. The cloth should
be folded into a broad strip and dipped in cold water or ice water. The compress is generally
applied to the head,neck, chest, abdomen and back. The cold compress is an effective means of
controlling inflammatory conditions of the liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, intestines, lungs,
brain, pelvic organs and so on. It is also advantageous in cases of fever and heart disease. The
cold compress soothes dermities and inflammations of external portions of the eye. When the
eyeball is affected, the cold compress should follow a short fomentation.
HEATING COMPRESS
This is a cold compress covered in such a manner as to bring warmth. A heating compress
consists of three or four folds of linen cloth wrung out in cold water which is then covered
completely with dry flannel or blanket to prevent the circulation of air and help accumulation of
body heat. It is sometimes applied for several hours. The duration of the application is
Therapeutic Baths
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap3.htm (1 of 5) [5/19/1999 9:12:47 PM]
determined by the extent and location of the surface involved, the nature and thickness of the
coverings and the water temperature. After removing the compress , the area should be rubbed
with a wet cloth and then dried with a towel. A heating compress can be applied to the throat,
chest, abdomen, and joints. A throat compress relieves sore throat, hoarseness, tonsillitis,
pharyngitis and laryngitis. An abdominal compress helps those suffering from gastritis,
hyperacidity, indigestion, jaundice, constipation, diarrhoea, dysentery and other ailments relating
to the abdominal organs. The chest compress also known as chest pack, relieves cold,
bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, fever, cough and so on, while the joints compress is helpful for
inflamed joints, rheumatism, rheumatic fever and sprains.
HIP BATHS
The hip bath is one of the most useful forms of hydrotherapy. As the name suggests, this mode
of treatment involves only the hips and the abdominal region below the navel. A special type of
tub is used for the purpose. The tub is filled with water in such a way that it covers the hips and
reaches upto the navel when the patient sits in it. Generally, four to six gallons of water are
required. If the special tub is not available, a common tub may be used. A support may be
placed under one edge to elevate it by two or three inches. Hip bath is given in cold, hot, neutral
or alternate temperatures.
COLD HIP BATH
The water temperature should be 100C to 180C. The duration of the bath is usually 10 minutes ,
but in specific conditions it may vary from one minute to 30 minutes. If the patient feels cold or is
very weak, a hot foot immersion should be given with the cold hip bath.
The patient should rub the abdomen briskly from the navel downwards and across the body with
a moderately coarse wet cloth. The legs, feet and upper part of the body should remain
completely dry during and after the bath. The patient should undertake moderate exercise like
yogasanas, after the cold hip bath, to warm the body.
A cold hip bath is a routine treatment in most diseases. It relieves constipation, indigestion,
obesity and helps the eliminative organs to function properly. It is also helpful in uterine
problems like irregular menstruation, chronic uterine infections, pelvic inflammation, piles,
hepatic congestion, chronic congestion of the prostate gland, seminal weakness, impotency,
sterility, uterine and ovarian displacements, dilation of the stomach and colon, diarrhoea,
dysentery, hemorrhage of the bladder and so on. The cold hip bath should not be employed in
acute inflammations of the pelvic and abdominal organs, ovaries and in painful contractions of
the bladder, rectum or vagina.
HOT HIP BATH
This bath is generally taken for eight to 10 minutes at a water temperature of 400C to 450C. The
bath should start at 400C. The temperature should be gradually increased to 450C. NO friction
should be applied to the abdomen. Before entering the tub,the patient should drink one glass of
cold water. A cold compress should be placed on the head. A hot hip bath helps to relieve
painful menstruation, pain in the pelvic organs, painful urination, inflamed rectum or bladder and
painful piles. It also benefits enlarged prostatic gland, painful contractions or spasm of the
bladder, sciatica, neuralgia of the ovaries and bladder. A cold shower bath should be taken
immediately after the hot hip bath.
Care should be taken to prevent the patient from catching a chill after the bath. The bath should
be terminated if the patient feels giddy or complains of excessive pain.
NEUTRAL HIP BATH
The temperature of the water should be 320C to 360C. Here too, friction to the abdomen should
be avoided. This bath is generally taken for 20 minutes to an hour. The neutral hip bath helps to
relieve all acute and sub-acute inflammatory conditions such as acute catarrh of the bladder and
urethra and subacute inflammations in the uterus, ovaries and tubes. It also relieves neuralgia of
the fallopian tubes or testicles, painful spasms of the vagina and prorates of the anus and vulva.
Besides, it is a sedative treatment for erotomanis in both sexes.
ALTERNATE HIP BATH
Therapeutic Baths
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap3.htm (2 of 5) [5/19/1999 9:12:47 PM]
This is also known as revulsive hip bath. The temperature in the hot tub should be 400C to 450C
and in the cold tub 100C to 180C. The patient should alternately sit in the hot tub for five minutes
and then in the cold tub for three minutes. The duration of the bath is generally 10 to 20 minutes.
The head and neck should be kept cold with a cold compress. The treatment should end with a
dash of cold water to the hips.
This bath relieves chronic inflammatory conditions of the pelvic viscera such as salpingitis,
ovaritis, cellulitis and various neuralgias of the genito-urinary organs, sciatica and lumbago.
SPINAL BATH
The spinal bath is another important form of hydrotherapic treatment. This bath provides a
soothing effect to the spinal column and thereby influences the central nervous system. It is
given in a specially designed tub with its back raised so as to provide proper support to the
head. The bath can be administered at cold, neutral and hot temperatures. The water level in the
tub should be an inch and a half to two inches and the patient should lie in it for three to 10
minutes.
The cold spinal bath relieves irritation, fatigue, hypertension and excitement. It is beneficial in
almost all nervous disorders such as hysteria, fits, mental disorders, loss of memory and
tension. The neutral spinal bath is a soothing and sedative treatment, especially for the highly
strung and irritable patient. It is the ideal treatment for insomnia and also relieves tension of the
vertebral column. The duration of this bath is 20 to 30 minutes. The hot spinal bath, on the other
hand, helps to stimulate the nervous, especially when they are in a depressed state. It also
relieves vertebral pain in spondylitis and muscular backache. It relieves sciatic pain and
gastrointestinal disturbances of gastric origin.
FULL WET SHEET PACK
This is a procedure in which the whole body is wrapped in a wet sheet, which in turn is wrapped
in a dry blanket for regulating evaporation. The blanket should be spread on the bed with its
edges hanging over the edge of the bed. The upper end should be about eight inches from the
head of the bed. Then spread a linen sheet wrung out in cold water over the blanket so that its
end is slightly below the upper end of the blanket. The patient should lie on the bedsheet with his
shoulders about three inches below the upper age. The wet sheet should be weekly wrapped
round the body of the patient, drawn in, tightly tucked between the legs and also between the
body and the arms. The sheet should be folded over the shoulders and across the neck. Now
the blanket should be drawn tightly around the body and tucked in along the side in a similar
manner, pulling it tightly. The ends should be doubled up at the feet. A turkish towel should be
placed below the chin to protect the face and neck from coming into contact with the blanket and
to exclude outside air more effectively. The head should be covered with a wet cloth so that the
sculp remains cold. The feet should be kept warm during the entire treatment. If the patient’s feet
are cold, place hot water bottles near them to hasten reaction. The pack is administered for half
an hour to one hour till the patient begins to perspire profusely. He may be given cold or hot
water to drink.
This pack is useful in cases of fever especially in typhoid and continued fevers, and benefits
those suffering from insomnia, epilepsy and infantile convulsions. It is useful in relieving chronic
cold and bronchitis and helps in the treatment of rheumatism and obesity.
HOT FOOT BATHS
In this method, the patient should keep his or her legs in a tub or bucket filled with hot water at a
temperature of 400C to 450C. Before taking this bath, a glass of water should be taken and the
body should be covered with a blanket so that no heat or vapour escapes from the foot bath.
The head should be protected with a cold compress. The duration of the bath is generally from 5
to 20 minutes. The patient should take a cold shower immediately after the bath.
The hot foot bath stimulates the involuntary muscles of the uterus, intestines, bladder and other
pelvic and abdominal organs. It also relieves sprains and ankle joint pains, headaches caused
by cerebral congestion and colds. In women, it helps restore menstruation , if suspended, by
increasing supply of blood especially to the uterus and ovaries.
COLD FOOT BATH
Therapeutic Baths
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap3.htm (3 of 5) [5/19/1999 9:12:47 PM]
Three to four inches of cold water at a temperature of 7.20C to 12.70C should be placed in a
small tub or bucket. The feet should be completely immersed in the water for one to five
minutes. Friction should be continuously applied to the feet during the bath, either by an
attendant or by the patient by rubbing one foot against the other.
A cold foot bath, taken for one or two minutes,relieves cerebral congestion and uterine
hemorrhage. It also helps in the treatment of sprains, strains and inflamed bunions when taken
for longer periods. It should not be taken in cases of inflammatory conditions of the
genito-urinary organs, liver and kidneys.
STEAM BATH
Steam bath is one of the most important time-tested water treatments which induces perspiration
in a most natural way. The patient, clad in minimum loin cloth or underwear, is made to sit on a
stool inside a specially designed cabinet. Before entering the cabinet, the patient should drink
one or two glasses of cold water and protect the head with a cold towel. The duration of the
steam bath is generally 10 to 20 minutes or until perspiration takes place. A cold shower should
be taken immediately after the bath.
Very weak patients, pregnant women, cardiac patients and those suffering from high blood
pressure should avoid this bath. If the patient feels giddy or uneasy during the steam bath, he or
she should be immediately taken out and given a glasss of cold water and the face washed with
cold water.
The steam bath helps to eliminate morbid matter from the surface of the skin. It also improves
circulation of the blood and tissue activity. It relieves rheumatism, gout, uric acid problems, and
obesity. The steam bath is helpful in all forms of chronic toxemias. It also relieves neuralgias,
chronic nephritis, infections, tetanus and migraine.
IMMERSION BATHS
This is also known as full bath. It is administered in a bath tub which should be properly fitted
with hot and cold water connections. The bath can be taken at cold, neutral, hot, graduated and
alternate temperatures.
COLD IMMERSION BATH
This may be taken for four seconds to 20 minutes at a temperature ranging from 100C to 23.80C.
Before entering the bath, cold water should be poured on the patient’s head, chest and neck and
the head should be protected with a cold moist towel. During the bath, the patient should
vigorously rub his or her body. After the bath the body should be quickly dried and wrapped up in
a blanket. If the climate is favourable, moderate exercise should be undertaken.
This bath helps to bring down fever. It also improves the skin when taken for five to 15 seconds
after a prolonged hot bath, by exhilarating circulation and stimulating the nervous system.
This bath should not be given to young children or very elderly persons, nor be taken in cases of
acute inflammation of some internal organs such as acute peritonitis, gastritis, enteritis and
inflammatory conditions of uterus and ovaries.
GRADUATED BATH
The patient should enter the bath at a temperature of 310C. The water temperature should be
lowered gradually at the rate of 10C per minute until it reaches 250C. The bath should continue
until the patient starts shivering. The graduated bath is intended to avoid nervous shock by
sudden plunge into the cold water. This bath is often administered every three hours in cases of
fever.
It effectively brings down the temperature except in malarial fever. Besides, it also produces a
general tonic effect, increases vital resistances and energises the heart.
NEUTRAL IMMERSION BATH
This bath can be given from 15 to 60 minutes at a temperature ranging from 260C to 280C. It can
be given for long duration, without any ill-effects, as the water temperature is akin to the body
temperature. The neutral bath diminishes the pulse rate without modifying respiration.
This treatment is the best sedative. Since the neutral bath excites activity of both the skin and
the kidneys, it is recommended in cases relating to these organs. It is also beneficial for cases of
Therapeutic Baths
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap3.htm (4 of 5) [5/19/1999 9:12:47 PM]
organic diseases of the brain and spinal cord, including chronic inflammatory conditions such as
meningitis, rheumatism and arthritis.
A neutral immersion bath taken for 30 to 60 minutes is highly beneficial in general dropsy, due to
cardiac or renal diseases. It also helps those suffering from multiple neuritis, alcoholism and
other narcotic habits, chronic diarrhoea, peritonitis and chronic affections of the abdomen. In
such cases the bath may be given daily for 15 to 30 minutes. This bath is also useful in the
toxemic conditions caused by dyspepsia and pruritus. The neutral bath should not be prescribed
in certain cases of eczema and other forms of skin diseases where water aggravates the
symptoms, nor in cases of extreme cardiac weakness.
HOT IMMERSION BATH
This bath can be taken from two to 15 minutes at a temperature from 36.60C to 400C. Generally
this bath is started at 370C and the temperature is then gradually raised to the required level by
adding hot water. Before entering the bath, the patient should drink cold water and also wet the
head, neck and shoulders with cold water. A cold compress should be applied throughout the
treatment. This bath can be advantageously employed in dropsy when there is excessive loss of
tone of the heart and blood. This bath also relieves capillary bronchitis and bronchial pneumonia
in children. It relieves congestation of the lungs and activates the blood vessels of the skin
muscles. The bath should be terminated as soon as the skin becomes red.
In pneumonia and suppressed menstruation, the bath should be administered at 37.70C to 400C
for about 30 to 45 minutes. This bath should be given when the menstruation is due and may be
repeated for two to three days in succession. In dysmenorrhoea, this bath should be given at
380C to 44.40C for 15 minutes.
In chronic bronchitis a very hot bath taken for 5 to 7 minutes should be accompanied with
rubbing and friction. This relieves congestion of the mucous membrane and provides immediate
relief After the bath, oil should be applied to the skin if necessary.
The hot bath is a valuable treatment in chronic rheumatism and obesity. It gives immediate relief
when there is pain due to stones in the gall bladder and the kidneys. The hot bath should not be
taken in cases of organic diseases of the brain or spinal cord, nor in cases of cardiac weakness
and cardiac hypertrophy.
EPSOM SALT BATH
The immersion bath tub should be filled with about 135 litres of hot water at 400C. One to 1 1/2
kg. of Epsom salt should be dissolved in this water. The patient should drink a glass of cold
water, cover the head with a cold towel and then lie down in the tub, completely immersing the
trunk, thighs and legs for 15 to 20 minutes. The best time to take this bath is just before retiring
to bed. This is useful in cases of sciatica, lumbago, rheumatism, diabetes, neuritis, cold and
catarrh, kidney disorders and other uric acid and skin affections.
Precaution
Certain precautions are necessary while taking these therapeutic baths. Full baths should be
avoided within three hours after a meal and one hour before it. Local baths like the hip bath and
foot bath may, however, be taken two hours after a meal. Clean and pure water must be used
for baths and water once used should not be used again. While taking baths, temperature and
duration should be strictly observed to obtain the desired effects. A thermometer should always
be used to measure the temperature of the body. Women should not take any of the baths
during menstruation. They can take only hip baths during pregnancy till the completion of the
third month.

NATURE CURE
Curative Powers of Earth
Earth was used extensively for remedial purposes in ancient times as well as the middle ages.
IN modern times, it again came into prominence as a valuable therapeutic agent in the last
century through the indefatigable efforts of Emanuel Felke, a German-born Lutheran minister
who was nicknamed the „Clay Pastor.”
Felke found that the forces of earth have remarkable effects upon the human body, especially
during the night. These effects are described as refreshing, invigorating and vitalising. Felke
believed that for wounds and skin diseases, application of clay or moistened earth was the only
true natural bondage. The body is thus repaired with the element from which it is assumed to be
made.
Adolf Just ( 1838 – 1936) , one of the pioneers of nature cure in modern times, believed that all
diseases, but especially the serious nervous troubles of our age, would lose their terrors, if only
sleeping or lying on the earth at night became customary in the curing of diseases. According to
him, by sleeping on the ground, ” the entire body is aroused from its lethargy to a new
manifestation of vital energy, so that it can now effectively remove old morbid matter and
masses of old faces from the intestines, and receive a sensation of new health, new life and new
unthought -of vigour and strength. „
Going barefooted all day long, except when it is very cold, is also regarded as a valuable step
towards achieving good health and true happiness. Men can draw vital energy and strength out
of the earth through their feet. Jesus Christ also attached a great deal of importance to the
practice of going barefooted. He himself was barefooted and commanded his disciples likewise.
It is advisable to go entirely barefooted as often as possible, especially on the bare ground but in
rooms with painted floors it is better to wear chappals, since the painted floor affects the body
adversely if one walks on it with bare soles.
The American Indians lay great stress on earth treatment.
They believe that healing power is strong in leaves and herbs, powerful in the air, but very
powerful indeed in the earth. They have a custom to bury sufferers from all kinds of disease in
the earth upto their necks, leave them there for some hours, and then remove them. They
believe that many of them are cured. Presumably the body draws unto itself the healing minerals
and some of the earth’s magnetism.
MUD PACKS
The nature cure practitioners at present are making increasing use of moistened earth in the
treatment of diseases. The use of mud packs has been found highly beneficial and effective in
the treatment of chronic inflammation caused by internal diseases, bruises, sprains, boils and
wounds. This mode of treatment is normally adopted in conjunction with a proper scheme of
dietary and other natural therapies.
The advantage of mud treatment is that it is able to retain moisture and coolness for longer
periods than cold water packs or compresses. The cold moisture in the mud packs relaxes the
pores of the skin, draws the blood into the surface, relieves inner congestion and pain, promotes
heat radiation and elimination of morbid matter.
A mud pack isprepared with clay obtained from about ten cms. below the surface of the earth,
after ensuring that it does not contain any impurities such as compost or pebbles. The clay is
then made into a smooth paste with warm water. This is allowed to cool and then spread on a
strip of cloth, the size of which may vary according to requirements. The dimensions of the pack
meant for application on the abdomen are generally 20 cms. X 10 cm.X 2.5 cm. for adults.
Mud packs have been found to be a valuable treatment of diseases relating to general weakness
or nervous disorders. It can also bring down fever and is beneficial in the treatment of scarlet
fever, measles and influenza. The mud pack is prescribed for swellings, eye and ear troubles,
gout, rheumatism, stomach troubles, kidney and liver malfunctions, diptheria, neuralgia, sexual
Curative Powers of Earth
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap4.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:12:54 PM]
disorders, headache, toothache and general aches and pains. The mud bandage, after being
placed on the body, should be covered with flannel or other protective material. The pack is
applied for 10 to 30 minutes.
As the abdomen is the seat of most diseases, mud pack applied to this part of the body can cure
many disorders including all forms of indigestion affecting the stomach and bowels. It is most
effective in decreasing the external heat and breaking up the morbid matter. It also aids the
inactivity of labour pains and for this purpose, the pack may be renewed every hour or two.
The mud pack is also helpful as an alternate treatment. The area under treatment is first given
fomentation for five to 10 minutes until it is well heated. Mud is then applied directly to the skin
for five to 15 minutes, depending upon the reaction required.
Hot and cold applications are useful in relieving chronic pains, intestinal cramps and lumbago.
Alternate application helps to relieve discomfort caused by flatulence and intestinal obstructions.
It is also helpful in amoebiasis, colitis, enteritis and other inflammatory conditions of bacterial
origin.
MUD BATH
Mud or clay bath is another mode of treatment. It is applied in the same way as packs, but only
on a larger scale on the entire body. In this, mud or clay is first ground and sifted to remove all
impurities, and then made into a smooth paste mixed with hot water. The paste is then spread
on a sheet which in turn is wrapped round the body. One or two blankets are then wrapped over
this, depending on the temperature of the room and that of the pack. A mud bath is followed with
a cleansing warm water bath and a short cold shower.
The mud bath is found to tone up the skin by increasing the circulation and energising the skin
tissues. Frequent mud baths help to improve the complexion, clear spots and patches on the
skin following skin disorders or due to smallpox. It is very beneficial in the treatment of skin
diseases like psoriasis, leucoderma and every leprosy.
This bath is also valuable in getting relief from rheumatic pain or pain in the joints caused by
injuries. The duration of the bath should be from 30 minutes to one hour. Care should also be
taken to avoid the patient catching a chill during the bath. Mud applications also form a vital part
of natural beauty treatment.

NATURE CURE
Exercise in Health and Disease
A world famous physical educationist, Eugene Sandow, has very aptly said, ” Life is movement,
stagnation is death. ” Physical exercise is essential for the maintenance of normal condition of
life. Lack of natural exercise is one of the chief causes of weakness and ill-health.
In recent years, the need for exercise has been recognised even in sickness. Physio and
occupational therapy are now standard procedures in medicine to restore the use of muscles
and nerves that have been injured by disease or by accident. Patients with organic ailments are
now advised to stay in bed for the minimum period considered necessary.
Exercise and Activity
For corrective living, it is essential to differentiate between exercise and activity. While both are
important as they are involved in vital physical movement, they vary in degree and benefits.
Both employ the body in voluntary movement. Activity uses the body to a limited degree and
generally to achieve a specific purpose. Exercise employs the body over the widest possible
range of movement for the particular purpose of maintaining or acquiring muscle tone and
control with maximum joint flexibility.
Activity requires less physical effort and often less conscious effort once the routine has been
established. Exercise demands considerable physical effort and is more beneficial as mental
concentration is simultaneously employed.
Benefits
Systematic physical exercise has many benefits. The more important benefits are mentioned
below :
Regular exercise taken properly can achieve the increased use of food by the body,
which contributes to health and fitness. The basal metabolic rate and habitual body
temperature will slowly rise during several weeks of physical exercise, if the programme is
not too hard. The healthy person usually has abundant body heat and a warm radiant
glow.
i.
Regular progressive physical exercise can bring about the balance of automatic, or
involuntary , nervous system. The tone of the vagus nerve, one of the nerves that control
sensation and motion, is strengthened. This accounts for stronger pulse waves, higher
metabolism and better circulation.
ii.
Exercise can prevent or reduce gravitational ptosis or sag, as it is commonly called.
Ptosis results from uneven flow of blood in the feet, legs and lower abdomen.
iii.
Improved capillary action in the working of muscular and brain tissue results from
exercise carried to the point of real endurance. This permits greater blood flow and gives
the muscles, including the heart, more resistance to fatigue.
Massage, heat and moderate exercise are relatively ineffective in producing additional
capillary action as compared with vigorous exercise.
iv.
The full use of the lungs in vigorous exercise can reduce or prevent lung congestion due
to lymph accumulation.
v.
Gas and intra-intestinal accumulations can be reduced by exercise that acts to knead and
squeeze or vibrate the intraintestinal mass.
vi.
Better respiratory reserve is developed by persistent exercise. This ensures better breath
holding, especially after a standard exercise. With greater respiratory reserves, exercise
become easier.
vii.
viii. Improvement in tone and function of veins can be accomplished by repetitiously
Exercise in Health and Disease
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap5.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:13:13 PM]
squeezing and draining the blood out of them and then allowing them to fill.
ix. Sweating in exercise aids kidneys by helping to eliminate the waste matter from the body.
Consistent exercise leads to improvement in quality of blood. Studies have shown
improved haemoglobin levels, relatively greater alkalinity, improved total protein content
and a grater red cell count.
x.
Systemic exercise promotes physical strength and mental vigour and strengthens will power and
self control leading to harmonious development of the whole system.
Exercise promotes longevity
Medical researchers at Harvard and Standford Universities who studied the habits and health of
17,000 middle-aged and older men, reported the first scientific evidence that even modest
exercise helps prolong life. Dr. Ralph S. Paffenberger, the visiting professor of epidemology at
the Harvard School of Pubic Health, who is the principal author of the report said, ” We have
found a direct relationship between the level of physical activity and the length of life in the
college men we have studied. ” He added,” This is the first good evidence that people who are
active and fit have a longer life span than those who are not. „
A strong connection between a hard and a healthy hard has also been convincingly
demonstrated in the same study. The study showed that the less active persons ran a three
times higher risk of suffering a fatal heart attack than did those who worked the hardest. Review
of fatal heart attacks revealed that the less active men were also three times more likely to die
unexpectedly and rapidly within an hour after the attack.
A parallel research report from doctors in Dulles also concluded, after a study of the lives and
habits of 6,000 men and women, that the physically fit were less likely to develop hypertension.
Dr. Steven N. Blair who headed the research group said, ” We followed the physical health and
habits of these people for an average of four-and-a-half years and the data showed that the
lackof physical fitness leads to hypertension. „
Exercise increases calorie output. The body fat can be reduced by regular exercise. It is
therefore, useful for weight reduction in conjunction with restricted food intake. According to a
study by Dr. Peter Wood of Stanford University Medical School, author of ‘ California Diet and
Exercise Programme ‘, very active people eat about 600 more calories daily than their sedentary
counterparts but weight about 20 per cent less. Upto 15 hours after vigorous exercise, the body
continues to burn calories at a higher rate than it would have without exercise. Moderate
physical exercise has been found to be accompanied by less obesity and lower cholesterol
levels.
Regular exercise plays an important role in the fight against stress. It provides recreation and
mental relaxation besides keeping the body physically and mentally fit. It is nature’s best
tranquilliser.
Chronic fatigue caused by poor circulation can be remedied by undertaking some exercise on a
daily basis. It helps relieve tension and induces sleep. Moderate physical exercise at the end of
a try day can bring a degree of freshness and renewed energy.
Exercise also plays an important role in the treatment of depression. According to Dr. Robert
Brown, a clinical associate professor at the University of Virgina School of Medicine, ” Exercise
produces chemical and psychological changes that improves your mental health. It changes the
levels of hormones in blood and may elevate your beta-endorphins (mood-affecting brain
chemicals). Exercise also gives a feeling of accomplishment and thereby reduces the sense of
helplessness. „
Methods of Exercise
Several systems of exercise have been developed over the years, the most popular among them
being the Swedish system and yoga asanas, the later having been practised from ancient times
in India. Whichever system you choose to adopt, the exercises should be performed
systematically, regularly and under proper guidance.
To be really useful, exercise should be taken in such a manner as to bring into action all the
muscles of the body in a natural way. Walking is one such exercise. It is, however, so gentle in
character that one must walk several kilometers in a brisk manner to constitute a fair amount of
Exercise in Health and Disease

exercise. Other forms of good exercise are swimming, cycling, horse-riding, tennis, etc.
Precautions
Vigirous exercise of any kind should not be taken for an hour and a half after eating, nor
immediately before meals. Weak patients and those suffering from serious diseases like cancer,
heart trouble, tuberculosis and asthama should not undertake vigious exercise except under the
supervision of a competent physician. If exercising makes you tired, stop immediately . The
purpose of exercise should be to make you feel refreshed and relaxed and not tired.
The most important rule about the fitness plan is to start with very light exercise and to increase
the effort in gradual and easy stages. The sense of well-being will begin almost immediately.
One can start off with a brisk walk for 15 to 20 minutes. A comfortable sense of tiredness should
be the aim. It is valueless and possibly harmful to become exhausted or seriously short of
breath. Perhaps, one should aim at activities which need about two-thirds of one’s maximum
ability. One way to assess is to count your own pulse rate.
Counting of pulse is quite easy. Feel the pulse on your left wrist with the middle three fingers of
your right hand. Press just firmly enough to feel the beat easily. Now count the number of beats
in 15 seconds, with the help of a watch with clear second hand and calculate your rate by
multiplying by four. At rest heart beats 70 to 80 times a minute. This rate increases during
exercise. Really vigorous can produce rates as high as 200 beats per minute or more.
Reasonable aim is to exercise at about two-thirds of maximum capacity. It follows that heart rate
should be about 130 per minute during and just after exercise. Always avoid over-exertion and
never allow your pulse go above 190 per minute minus your age.

NATURE CURE
Therapeutic Value of Massage
Massage is an excellent form of passive exercise. The word is derived from the Greek word
‘massier’ which means to knead. It involves the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the
body. If correctly done on a bare body, it can be highly stimulating and invigorating.
As far back as 400 B.C. , the great Hippocrates, the father of medicine, employed massage and
manipulation in healing his patients. Since then it has been used as a mode of treatment for
many ailments and it has restored many a sufferer to health and vigour.
Benefits
The general massage, dealing with all parts of the body, is highly beneficial in many ways. It
tones up the nervous system, influences respiration and quickens the elimination of poisons and
waste material from the body through the various eliminative organs such as the lungs, skin,
kidneys and bowels. It also boosts blood circulation and metabolic processes. A massage
removes facial wrinkles , helps to fill out hollow cheeks and neck and eases stiffness, sore
muscles and numbness.
Various movements
There are five fundamental modes of manipulation in massage and these are : effleurage
(stroking), friction ( rubbing), petrissage ( kneading), tapotment (percussion) and vibration
(shaking or trembling).
- Effleurage :
This involves sliding with the hands, using long even strokes over the surface of the body.
Effleurage is performed in five ways, namely stroking with (I) palms of two hands; (ii) the palm of
one hand; (iii) the knuckles; (iv) the ball of the thumb and (v) the finger tips. Effleurage increases
blood circulation and soothes the nervous system. It also warms and relaxes. It is very helpful in
atrophied condition of the skin. - Friction :
The movements, which are circular in nature are performed with the help of the thumb and tips
of fingers or the palm of the hand towards the joints or around the joints. Fric- tion limbers up
joints, tendons, and muscles and facilitates the removal of deposits by breaking them. It also
helps in reducing swelling after nerve inflammation. - Petrissage :
This is the process of kneading, pressing and rolling of the tissues and is performed with one or
both hands, with two thumbs or with thumbs and fingers. One should apply heavy pressure for
deep kneading and light pressure for superficial kneading. Petrissage is a treatment of the
muscles. It increases nutrition, strengthens muscles, relieves intestinal congestion and helps
elimination of the poisons. It boosts long activity and cellular respiration, eliminates fatigue
poisons and tones up nerve endings. - Tapotement :
This involves hacking, tapping, clapping and beating and is achieved by striking the body rapidly.
Short and quick blows are generally given from the wrist. Tapotement helps in atrophied
condition of the muscles. It increases blood supply, soothes nerves and strengthens muscles. - Vibrations :
This is achieved by rapidly shaking the pressing movements by use of the hand or fingers onthe
body. Vibrating hand should move constantly. This is beneficial in neuritis and neuralgia after the
inflammatory stage is over. It stimulates circulation, glandular activity and nervous plexuses. It

also helps in bowel movement.
Another form of massage helpful in most elements is the vibratory massage. This can be done
by trained persons only. The vibratory muscles is more efficiently administered by a special,
electrically operated machine.
Material for Massage
Cotton seed oil is most commonly used for massaging, but butter is used for filling out cheeks
and the neck and also for breast enlargement. If the patient is averse to oil, talcum powder may
be used. Oil should not be used by persons with excessive body hair. General body massage
may be done for 40 to 45 minutes and local body massage for 10 to 15 minutes.
The oil should be washed off completely after massage.
Therapeutic Uses
Massage can be used with advantage as a method of treatment for many common ailments. The
various forms of massage and their usefulness in various diseases are described here in brief.
Massage of the Joints :
Stiff and swollen joints can be cured by massage combined with mechanical movements.
Massage is, however, not recommended in serious inflammatory cases of the joints and in
tubercular joints. It should also be avoided in infectious diseases like diphtheria and gonorrhoea
which cause formation of pus as massage may spread the pus to the entire system. Sprains and
bruises can be cured by massage. In these cases, affected parts should first be bathed with hot
water for 15 to 30 minutes. Next the massage should be done for a few minutes. Gentle stroking
and kneading is recommended on and around the injured tissues. Fractures can also be treated
through massage.
This form of massage is of great help in atrophy of the muscles which usually follows if the
muscles are not used for any length of time. This condition may also be brought about by
injuries, diseases of the joints, inflammation of the muscles and nerves, and by too long use of
cats, bandages and splints.
A human being carries one -half of the weight of his body in the form of muscular tissues.
One-fourth of the blood supply circulates in the muscles. When one gets a good massage
treatment, the muscles get regenerated and are then capable of holding half of the blood supply.
Massage thus provides additional nourishment to feed the muscular tissues, helping them to
grow strong. Tapping, striking, and vibrating help the muscle to develop its contractile power.
Muscle massage is brought by first effleurage, kneading, followed by tapotement. Later, active
and passive movements are given.
Massage is employed for eliminatng muscle contraction and for breaking of adhesions. A little
moderate kneading, and percussion cause muscles to contract and become stronger. Deep
circular kneading and vibration loosens the muscles. Kneading under and round the muscles
breaks up adhesions.
Massaging the nerves :
Massage benefits many nerve problems. In case of acute inflammation of the nerves, massage
should be done carefully. Light and gentle stroking are recommended. Deep pressure should not
be used on swollen nerves for it will increase the inflammation. All that is needed is just a gentle
tapotement or beating of the nerve.
Nerve compression is recommended for soothing nerves. Grasp the limb with both hands, and
create firm pressure around and down the arm. Start with the shoulder and proceed down to the
wrist. As you leave the grip, bring the hands down a little and make another pressure. As a
result, blood circulation will increase. Spinal nerve compression is extremely beneficial. It is done
by the palm of the hand. Vibration of the fingers stimulate it. Sleeplessness can be cured by long
slow and gentle stroking down the spine and entire back.
Abdominal Massage :
This form of massage is beneficial in constipation. It stimulates the peristalsis of the small
intestines, tones up the muscles of the abdomen walls and mechanically eliminates the contents
of both large and small intestines. Abdominal massage should not be done in general, femoral,
inguinal and umbilical hernia, inflammation of the uterus, bladder, ovaries and fallopian tubes,
Therapeutic Value of Massage
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap6.htm (2 of 4) [5/19/1999 9:13:22 PM]
kidney stones, bladder or gall bladder, ulcers of the stomach and intestines, and pregnancy.
Abdominal massage should not be done after a heavy meal, but after two hours or so. The
bladder should be emptied before the massage. The patient is made to lie on his back with his
knees drawn up. This enable the abdomen wall to relax. The masseur should stand at the right
side of the patient and use his finger tips for friction round the umbilical region from right to left.
He should likewise alternatively knead the walls and roll with both hands, making deep and firm
pressure. He should knead with the hand and finger tips and keep clear of any wound or tender
places. He should later take up massaging of the larger intestines.
The manipulation of the large intestine should begin on the right side. Keep it going upwards and
across the transverse colon and move right down on the left side to the signoid flexure and
rectum. Circular kneading should be done with the help of the three middle fingers. At the same
time press into the contents of the abdomen, following the course of the larger colon with a
crawling motion. Keep kneading by means of a few circular movements in one spot with the help
of finger tips. Keep moving the fingers a little further along. Knead repeatedly. Use knuckles of
the hand to make deep pressure along the large colon, moving the hands along after each
pressure.
Once the kneading of the abdomen isover, follow up by tapotement with both hands cupped or
use the knuckles of the hand. Vibration may also be employed. The patient could also be asked
to do some gymnastic exercises for strengthening the walls of the abdomen. Since blood
pressure increases during abdominal manipulation, patients with hypertension should avoid
abdominal massage. Massage should also be avoided in cases where there has been recent
bleeding in the lungs, the stomach or the brain.
Chest Massage :
Chest massage is helpful in many ways. It strengthens the chest muscles, increases circulation
and tones up the nervous system of chest, heart and lungs. It is especially recommended in
weakness of the lungs,palpitation and organic heart disorders. Bust and mammary glands can
be developed by proper massage.
The patient is made to lie on the back with the arms at the sides. The masseur starts
manipulating the chest by means of strokes with both hands on each side of the breast bone. A
circular motion is formed by the movement made up and down, moving down the chest. Next the
muscle kneading is done by picking up the skin and muscles with both hands. Treatment is
given to both sides of the chest likewise. Circular kneading is next done by placing one hand on
each side of the breast bone and making the circular motion outward towards the side.
Tapotement follows by hacking and slapping.
Massage of Back :
The purpose of the massage of the back is to stimulate the nerves and circulation for treating
backache, rheumatic afflictions of the back muscles, and for soothing the nervous system.
The patient is made to lie down with the arms at the sides. The masseur effleurages the back
from the shoulders downwards using both hands on each side of the spine. Stroking is done
from the sacrum upward. Friction follows with each hand at the sides of the spine going down
slowly. Next, kneading by muscle picking is done with squeezing. Alternate rapid pushing and
pulling movement of the hands sliding down the spine. Circular kneading should also be done.
The treatment should end by slapping, hacking and cupping on each side of the spine. Gentle
stroking and light kneading of the back is relieving and soothing. Percussion and vibration result
into stimulating experience. Vibration of the end of spine benefits the sacral nerves and pelvic
organs. It is recommended in constipation, hemorrhoids, weakness and congestion of the
bladder and sexual organs.
Massage of the Throat :
This helps to overcome headache, sore throat and catarrh of the throat. The patient is made to
throw his head back. The masseur places palms of both hands on sides of neck with thumbs
under the chin, and fingers under the ears. A downward stroke is next made towards the chest
over the jugular veins. Do not exert heavily on the jugular veins.
Repeat several times.

NATURE CURE
Yoga Therapy
The Yoga Therapy or ‘ yoga-chikitsa’ refers to the treatment of diseases by means of yogic
exercises which may be physical or mental or both. It is a specialised form of yogic culture. This
mode of treatment has been practised in India from very ancient times. Many references to yoga
have been made in the Upanishads. It was, however, Maharishi Patanjali who in about the first
century B.C. gave a systematic account of the traditional yogic teaching.
The term ‘ Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘yug’ which means „to join” . It signifies union
between the individual soul (jivatma) and the universal soul (parmatma). It aims at obtaining
relief from pain and suffering. Basically, human evolution takes place on three different planes,
namely physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga is a means of attaining perfect health by maintaining
harmony and achieving optimum functioning on all three levels through complete self-control.
Yogic kriyas, asanas and pranayama constitute the physical basis ofyoga. The practice of kriyas
and asanas leads to excellent circulation. It also energises and stimulates major endocrine
glands of the body. Yogic exercises promote inner health and harmony, and their regular
practice helps prevent and cure many common ailments. They also help eliminate tensions, be
they physical, mental or emotional.
Pranayama slows down the ageing process. In ordinary respiration, one breathes roughly 15
times a minute, taking in approximately 20 cubic inches of air. In pranayama the breathing rate is
slowed down to once or twice a minute and the breath inhaled is deep and full, taking nearly 100
cubic inches of air.
All yogic exercises should be performed on a clean mat, a carpet or a blanket covered with a
cotton sheet. Clothing should be light and loose-fitting to allow free movement of the limbs. The
mind should be kept off all disturbances and tensions. Regularity and punctuality in practicising
yogic exercises is essential. Generally, 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. is the ideal time for yoga practices.
Yoga asanas and pranayama should be practised only after mastering the techniques with the
help of a competent teacher. Asanas should always be practiced on an empty stomach.
Shavasana should be practiced for a brief period before starting the rest of the exercises as this
will create the right mental condition. Asanas should be performed at a leisurely slow-motion
pace, maintaining poise and balance.
Herein are described certain yogic kriyas, asanas and pranayama which have specific
therapeutic values and are highly beneficial in the maintenance of health and the healing of
diseases.
Kriyas
A disease-free system should be the starting ground for yogasanas and pranayama. There are
six specific cleansing techniques, known as Shat Kriyas, which eliminate impurities and help
cure many ailments. Of these, the following four can be practised safely.
Jalaneti :
Most diseases of the nose and thraot are caused by the accumulation of impurities in the
nasal passage. Jalaneti is a process of cleansing the air passage of the nostrils and the
throat by washing them with tepid saline water. Take a clean jalaneti pot. Put half a
teaspoonful of salt in the pot and fill it with lukewarm drinking water. Stand up and tilt your
head slightly to the right. Insert the nozzle of the pot in the left nostril and let the water
flow into it. Inhale and exhale through the mouth, allowing the water to flow out through
the right nostril. Reverse this process by tilting your head to the left and letting the water
flow from the right to the left nostril.
Jalaneti should be practised only in the morning. It will relieve sore throat, cold, cough,
sinusitis, migraine, headache and cases of inflammation of the nasal membranes. It
keeps the head cool and improves vision.

Vamana Dhouti or Kunjal :
This is a process of cleansing the interior of the stomach. Drink four to six glasses of tepid
water, with a little salt added to it, early in the morning on an empty stomach. Then stand
up, bend forward, insert the middle and index fingers of the right hand into the mouth until
they touch the uvulva. Tickle it until you feel a vomiting sensation. The saline water thus
ejected will bring up bile and other toxic matter with it. Repeat the process till all the water
is vomitted out. This should be done once a week or as and when necessary.
It is beneficial for cleansing the stomach in cases of excessive bile, constipation, and
gastric troubles. Persons suffering from hyperacidity should perform kunjal with unsalted
water. It gives relief from headaches, nervous weakness, chronic cold, cough and
asthma. It should not be practised by those suffering from high blood pressure, ulcers and
heart trouble.
2.
Kapalbhati :
Kapala means ‘skull’ and bhati means ‘shine’. This is a respiratory exercise for the
abdomen and diaphragm. The channels inside the nose and other parts of the respiratory
system are purified by this exercise. In the process, the brain is also cleared.
Sit in a comfortable position, preferably in padmasana. Exercise the diaphragm by
exhaling suddenly and quickly through both nostrils, producing a hissing sound. Inhaling
will be automotive and passive. The air should be exhaled from the lungs with a sudden,
vigorous inward stroke of the front abdominal muscles. The abdominal stroke should be
complete and the breath should be expelled fully. While inhaling, no willful expansion is
necessary and the abdominal muscles should be relaxed. This exercise should be done
in three phases, each consisting of 20 to 30 strokes a minute. A little rest can be taken in
between . Throughout, the throacic muscles should be kept contracted.
Kapalbhati enables the inhalation of a good amount of oxygen which purifies the blood
and strengthens the nerve and brain centres. This kriya provides relief in many lung,
throat and chest diseases like chronic bronchitis, asthma, pleurisy and tuberculosis.
3.
Trataka :
In yoga, four exercises have been prescribed for strengthening weak eye muscles,
relieving eye strain and curing of eye disease. They are known as ‘ Trataka ‘ ,which in
sanskrit means ‘ Winkles gaze at a particular point.” or looking at an object with
awareness. The four tratakas are : Dakshinay jatru trataka in which, with face forwards,
the eyes are fixed on the tip of the right shoulder ; Vamajatru trataka, in which the eyes
are fixed on the tip of the left shoulder ; Namikagra trataka, in which the eyes are
focussed on the tip of the nose, and Bhrumadhya trataka, in which the eyes are focussed
on the space between the eyebrows. These exercises should be practiced from a
meditative position like padmasana or vajrasana. The gaze should be maintained for as
long as you are comfortable, gradually increasing the period from 10 to 20 and then to 30
seconds. The eyes should be closed and rested after each exercise. Persons with acute
myopia should perform the tratakas wit h their eyes closed.
4.
Asanas
Shavasana ( Dead body pose ) :
Lie flat on your back, feet comfortably part, arms and hands extended about six inches
from the body, palms upwards and fingers half-folded. Close your eyes. Begin by
consciously and gradually relaxing every part and each muscle of the body ; feet, legs,
calves, knees, thighs, abdomen, hips, back, hands, arms, chest,shoulders, neck, head
and face. Relax yourself completely feeling as if your whole body is lifeless. Now
concentrate your mind on breathing rhythmically as slowly and effortlessly as possible.
This creates a state of complete relaxation. Remain motionless in this position,
relinquishing all responsibilities and worries for 10 to 15 minutes. Discontinue the exercise
when your legs grow numb.
This asana helps bring down high blood pressure, and relieves the mind, particularly for
those who are engaged in excessive mental activity. This exercise should be done both at
the beginning and at the end of the daily round of yogic asanas. During a fast, shavasana
soothes the nervous system.

which comes through gradual practice. For proper balance, elbows should be placed
firmly on the ground, alongside the fingerlock. Initially the asana should be done for 60
seconds only. The duration may be gradually increased by a further 10 seconds each
week.
Regular practice of shirshasana will benefit the nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive,
excretory and endocrine systems. This asana helps cases of dyspepsia, seminal
weakness, varicose veins, arteriosclerosis, jaundice, renal colic and congested liver.

Pranayama
Prana means ‘ vital force ‘ and Ayama means ‘ control ‘ in Sanskrit. Thus Pranayama
means the control of the vital force through concentration and regulated breathing. By
means of controlled breathing that is, inhaling and exhaling by holding the breath for a
fixed time and changing the rhythm of inspiration and expiration, it is possible to influence
the life-force in the body. Pranayama is the process by which such conscious control is
achieved through controlled and rhythmical breathing . Pranayama purifies the channels
22.

along which the life stream of ‘prana’ flows in the body and prevents various disorders. It
increases one’s resistance to respiratory diseases.
The best position in which to practice pranayama is the padmasana or lotus pose. If for
some reason that position is difficult to adopt, it can be done while sitting in any
comfortable pose. The important thing is to keep the back, neck and head in a straight
line. The body should be in its natural relaxed condition and this can be achieved by
resting a few minutes in shavasan. If necessary, use your right finger and thumb on either
side of the nose to control the right and left nostrils during inhalation and exhalation. In
practicising pranayama, a ratio of two to one should be maintained throughout, that is, the
exhalation time should be double that required for inhalation. For instance, if inhalation
takes 5 seconds, exhalation should take 10 seconds. Both inhalation and exhalation
should be smooth and quiet. Some varieties of pranayama beneficial in the treatment of
common ailments are as follows :
Anuloma -viloma :
This is also known as Nadishuddhi pranayama. Sit in any comfortable meditative pose,
keeping your head,neck and spine erect. Rest your left hand on your left knee. Close your
right nostril by pressing the tip of your right thumb against it. Breathe out slowly through
the left nostril. Inhale slowly and deeply through the left nostril, keeping the right nostril
closed. Close your left nostril with the little finger and ring finger of your right hand and
exhale through the right nostril. Then inhale through the right nostril, keeping the left
nostril closed and, lastly, exhale through the left nostril, keeping the right nostril closed.
This completes one round ofanuloma-viloma. Repeat the entire process. Inhaling and
exhaling should be done very slowly, without making any sound.
This pranayama is a process of purification. It strengthens the lungs and calms the
nerves. It helps cure cough and cold, insomnia, chronic headache and asthama.
1.
Ujjayi :
Sit in any comfortable meditative pose. Inhale slowly, deeply and steadily through both
nostrils with a low uniform sound through the glottis. Hold your breathe for a second or
two after inhaling and then exhale noisily only through the left nostril, keeping the right
nostril closed. Do this as often as required. This pranayama clears the nasal passage and
helps the functioning of the thyroid gland and benefits respiratory disorders, especially
bronchitis and asthama. Persons suffering from high blood pressure should not practice
ujjayi.
2.
Bhastrika :
‘Bhastrika’ means ‘bellows.’ It is performed by instant and quick expirations of breath.
There are many varieties of bhastrika. The simplest technique is as follows : Sit in
padmasana. Do 20 strokes of kapalbhati. Inhale and exhale rapidly, making a puffing
sound. This is a good exercise for abdominal viscera and lungs.
3.
Sheetali :
Sit in padamasana or any other comfortable posture. Stick your tongue out about an
inche from the lips, rolled up at the sides to form a channel like a bird’s beak. Suck in air
through the channel. After a full inhalation, slowly close your mouth, hold your breath and
exhale slowly through both nostrils. This completes the exercise. Repeat as required. This
pranayama cools the body and mind, activates the liver and bile and has beneficial effects
on the circulation and body temperature.
4.
Sitkari :
IN sitkari a sound is produced while inhaling by opening the mouth a little, placing the tip
of the tongue against the lower front teeth and then sucking the air in slowly. After holding
your breath, exhale through both nostrils. This exercise helps to control thirst, hunger and
laziness.
5.
Suryabhedan :
‘Surya-nadi ‘ is the right nostril and ‘ ChandraNadi’ is the left nostril. In this pranayama,
one always uses the right nostril for inhalation. Sit in padmasan or any other suitable
posture. Keep your head, neck and back straight. Inhale through the right nostril. Hold
6.

your breath and then exhale through the left nostril. Hold your breath and then exhale
through the left nostril. Repeat as often as required. This pranayama increases gastric
juices and helps digestion. It also fortifies the nervous system and clears the sinuses.
Bhramari :
In this pranayama, the buzzing sound of a bee is produced and hence it is called
bhramari. Keep your mouth closed while inhaling. Exhale through both nostrils, producing
the humming sound of a bee. This pranayama affects the ears, nose, eyes and mouth
and makes the complexion glow. It also helps those suffering from insomnia.

NATURE CURE
Healing Power of Colours
Chromotherapy is a method of treatment of diseases by colour. It is best used as a supportive
therapy along with other natural methods of preserving health such as correct diet, adequate
rest and relaxation, exercise, yogic asanas and so on.
According to practitioners of chromotherapy, the cause of any disease can be traced to the lack
of a particular colour in the human system. Colour therapy is a technique of restoring imbalance
by means of applying coloured light to the body. It was a popular method of cure even in ancient
times. Some 2,500 years ago, Pythagoras applied colour light therapeutically and ‘colour halls’
were used for healing in ancient Egypt, China and India.
The pioneer of modern colour therapy was Niels Finsen of Denmark. Following the discovery, in
1877, of the bactericidal action of solar ultra-violet energy,Finsen studied the possibility of
assisting the healing of wounds with visible light. He subse- quently used red light to inhibit the
formation of smallpox scars and, in 1896, founded a Light Institute ( now the Finsen Institute of
Copenhagen) for the phototreatment of tuberculosis. In 1932, Gerrard and Hessay, two
Californian psychologists, scientifically established that blue light had a calming effect and red a
stimulating power on human beings.
Blue and red colours are considered at the two extremes with yellow representing the midpoint.
These are also the three principal colours in a rainbow. A patient is first subjected to an
examination to ascertain which colour he lacks. The deficiency is determined by observing the
colour of the eyeballs, nails, urine and excrement. In cases of the lack of red the eyes and nails
will be bluish, and the urine and excrement white or bluish. If there is a deficiency of the blue
colour, the eyes and nails will be reddish and urine and excrement yellowish or red.
Every substance on earth contains colour. Even the rays cast on earth by celestial bodies
contain colour in the form of white light. The rays of the sun contain seven different colours –
violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. These are natural colours which are highly
beneficial to the maintenance of health and for healing diseases.
According to Dr. Babbit, a well-known authority on chromotherapy, „sunlight is the principal
curative agent in nature’s laboratory and where light cannot enter, disease does. Chlorosis,
anaemia, leukaemia, emaciation, muscular debility, degeneration of heart and liver, dropsical
effusion, softening of bones,nervous excitability, physical deformity, stunted growth and
consumption are the result of excluding oneself from the beneficial effects of sunlight. „
Sunlight plays an important role in the recovery from chronic diseases. Judicious use of sunlight
can be part of the curing process in almost every affliction. The rays of the sun improve digestion
and nutrition, quicken blood and lymph circulation and increase the elimination of impurities
through the skin.
The action and effect of various colours on the body and their healing qualities are as follows :
Red :
Symbolic of heat, fire and anger. It is a stimulating and energising colour. It stimulates arterial
blood and brings warmth to cool extremities. Used as a general tonic, it is very valuable in the
treatment of diseases like low blood pressure, rheumatism, paralysis, anaemia and advanced
cases of tuber- culosis.
Orange :
Symbolic of prosperity and pride, orange is useful for stimulating blood supply and energising
the nerves. It is beneficial in the treatment of kidney and gall stones, hernia and appendicitis. It is
also used to stimulate the milk producing action of breasts after childbirth.
Violet :
Violet is beneficial in the treatment of nervous and emotional disturbances, arthritis, acute cases

of consumption and insomnia.
Yellow :
Associated with joy and happiness, yellow is laxative and diuretic. It is a stimulant to the brain,
the liver and the spleen. It is also effective in the treatment of diabetes, indigestion, kidney and
liver disorders, constipation, eye and throat infections, syphillis and impotence.
Purple :
Purple or indigo combines the blood-warming red and the cooling antiseptic blue. It is an
excellent stimulant without being an irritant. It is beneficial in the treatment of advanced stages of
constipation, hydrocle , leucorrhoea, many disorders of the stomach and womb , cataract ,
migraine and skin disorders. It exerts a soothing effect on the eyes, ears and the nervous
system.
Green :
Made up of the blue and yellow, green is regarded as a colour of harmony. It is a mild sedative.
It is useful in the treatment of nervous conditions, hay fever, ulcers, influenza, malaria , colds,
sexual disorders and cancer. It preserves and strengthens eyesight. Being highly medicinal and
depressive, it is of great help in the treatment of inflammatory conditions.
Blue :
Cool, soothing and sedative, blue alleviates pain, reducing bleeding and heals burns. It is
beneficial in the treatment of dysentery, colic, asthma, respiratory disorders, high blood pressure
and skin aberrations. IN a study at the New England State Hospital in the United States, 25
members of staff with normal blood pressure were bathed in blue light for half an hour. It
resulted in universal fall in blood pressure. The blood pressure rose when red light was applied.
Methods of Treatment
There are two methods of treating diseases by colour :
i. By the application of light through different coloured glasses ; and
By external or internal use of colour-charged water. In the first method , sheets of glass,
30 cms. X 36 cms. of the required colours are needed. These are placed at the window
frames or any other convenient place in such a way that the sun’s rays can pass through
them and fall directly on the patient’s body. The usual duration of the colour treatment is
30 minutes. In case of local application, a pane of glass can be placed in front of the
diseased part so that the light passing through the glass falls on the afflicted area. At
night lanterns can be used for the purpose. A single lantern can have glass panes of four
different colours and the required colour can be focussed on the patient or the affected
parts.
In the second method, coloured bottles are needed. These bottles should be cleaned and
filled up to three-fourths level with fresh well water, distilled water or rain water. The
bottles should be corked and then placed in bright sunlight for three to four hours. After
this exposure, the water is said to acquire medicinal properties and this colour-charged
water can be used both internally and for external applications. Wounds and ulcers can
be washed with this water and it can also be used to massage the affected parts or
applied as compress on them. For internal use, an adult can take 30 ml. of
colour-charged water as a single dose. The dose can be repeated as required.
ii.
Diet
A correct and balanced diet is essential during the treatment of diseases through
chromotherapy. The patients should take food items with analogous colouring. The various
colours contained in different food items are :
Red : Beets, radish, red cabbage, tomatoes, watercress, most red-skinned fruits,red berries and
water melon.
Healing Power of Colours
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap8.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:14:44 PM]
Orange : Orange-skinned vegetables and fruits such as carrot, orange, apricot, mango, peach
and pappaya.
Violet : Egg plant, berries, black carrot and purple grapes.
Yellow : Lime and lemon, sweet lime, grapes, pumpkin, melon, banana, mango, yellow apple
and guava.
Purple : Foods having both blue and violet colouring.
Green : Most of the green vegetables and fruits such as gourds, spinach, plantain, lettuce, pea,
green mango, gooseberry, pears, beans , etc.
Blue : Blue plum, blue beans, blue grapes, etc.
Contraindications
There are some important contraindications to colour treatment which should be borne in mind
while adopting this mode of cure. For instance, the red colour would be injurious in a naturally
inflammatory condition of the system, and in case of persons with feverish and excitable
temperament. If the red light is employed for too long and frequently, it may produce dangerous
fevers. The danger can be obviated by using the red light for a few minutes at a time or by
placing a wet bandage over the head.
Similarly, yellow should not be used when the nerves are very active or irritable. Yellow or
orange reddish tones may prove injurious in fevers, acute inflammations, delirium, diarrhoea,
neuralgia, palpitation of the heart and any condition of over- excitement.
In cases of paralysis, chronic rheumatism, gout, consumption and in all cold, pale and dormant
conditions of the system, blue, indigo and violet may prove too cooling and constricting and
should be avoided.

NATURE CURE
Sleep : Restorative of Tired Body and Mind
Sleep is one of nature’s greatest inventions and blessings of life. It is a periodic rest of the body
which is absolutely essential for its efficient functioning. It has been called ” most cheering
restorative of tired bodies. „
Sleep is the indispensable condition to the recuperation of energy. We go to bed fatigued and
get up refreshed. Sleep repairs the wear and tear of the body and mind incurred during waking
hours. Nothing is so restorative to the nerves as sound and uninterrupted sleep. Sleep is thus a
vital element in a total way of life. It is a basic need in man’s mental as well as physical life.
During sleep most of the functions of the body are carried on at the lowest level possible in
health. Heat production is from 10 to 15 per cent below the basal level. The mechanism
regulating the body temperature are less sensitive than in the waking state and are depressed
by 0.5 to 1.0 degree F. The rate of the heart is reduced by 10 to 30 beats per minute and a
decline in blood pressure of about 20 mm occurs in quiet restful sleep. The urine volume is
considerably reduced, but its concentration in solids is increased. The tone of all the skeletal
muscles is lessened. The eyes are usually rolled upward and the pupils constricted.
Loss of sleep exerts seriously detrimental effects upon the nervous system. Long periods of
wakefulness may cause profound psychological changes such as loss of memory, irritability,
hallucination and even schizophrenic manifestations. During the last World War, prisoners in
Nazi concentration camps who kept awake for days by strong lights and blaring wireless sets,
collapsed.
Sleep versus rest
For correct living, it is essential to differential between sleep and rest. At rest the body is
disturbed by all exterior noises ; but in sleep it is screened from them by partial loss of
consciousness and also by what is called ” dream protection. ” One useful purpose of the dream
is to convert outside noises that might awake the sleeping person, into fantasies that do not
disturb him.
During rest the limbs are normal, but in sleep they swell. Blood flows from the brain, distends the
arteries, and makes the limbs bigger. IN sleep more muscles are relaxed than in rest, though the
sleeping person changes his position about 35 times in one night, without knowing it. Many
organs which work during rest suspend their activities in sleep. Thus the recouping value of
sleep is much more than that of rest or simple lying down.
Theories of sleep
Many theories of sleep have been advanced to explain the temporary loss of consciousness
which we know as sleep. The oldest theory is that sleep is induced by a reduction in the blood
supply to the brain or at least to conscious centres. This is known as ischemic theory. Even the
ancient Greek physicians were aware that the carotid artery was in a way concerned with the
onset of sleep. The name itself expresses this belief. The Greek word ‘ Karotides’ for carotid
arteries is derived from karoo which means ‘put to sleep.’ In modern times, the drowsiness after
a meal, presumably due to the diversion of blood from the brain to the digestive organs, is cited
in support of the ischemic theory.
Another important theory about sleep is the chemical theory. As a result of experiments in the
metabolism of sleeping subjects, it is considered that the fatigue inducing sleep may be a mild
form of blood poisoning or toxaemia. This ” poisoning” is believed to be brought on by the
expenditure of energy during the waking hours.
According to this theory, every contraction of a muscle and every impulse passing through the
brain or the nerves breaks down a certain amount of tissue. The debris from broken down tissue
is then thrown into the bloodstream. In the waking state, much of the waste from broken down
tissue is got rid of through the natural eliminating processes of lungs, kidneys, bowels and skin.
Sleep : Restorative of Tired Body and Mind
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap9.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:14:51 PM]
But there comes a saturation point when there is such an accumulation of waste that it cannot
be disposed of by these processes and it then invades the grey matter of the brain. In such an
eventuality, mental and physical altertness are impaired. It is nature’s warning that the waste
product must be reduced to replenish the lost energy. So we get tired and the urge to get sleep
becomes irresistible.
During sleep, the cells and tissues that break down to produce toxic waste become less active
and the production of toxic waste is vastly reduced. Simultaneously, constructive activities take
place within the body during sleep, which rebuild the broken down tissue.
Another theory places a sleeping centre in the hypothalamus. Many of the bodily changes in
sleep such as constriction of pupils, reduced frequency of heart beat, increased gastric tone and
secretion are manifestations of the activity of hypothalamus nuclei, especially parasympathetic
centres. Perhaps some of the sleeping pills affect this centre in the brain.
Although the various theories have certain amount of experimental evidence to support them,
none has really solved what is the most mysterious process in our lives. All we know is that
sleep substitutes constructive measures for the destructive processes of our waking hours. We
cannot live without sleep.
Duration
Another mystery about sleep is that no two persons need the same amount of sleep. Dr.
Nathaniel Kleitman, Associate Professor of Physiology at the University of Chicago, who
conducted years of extensive experiments at the University’s „Sleeping Laboratory” says that
there is no more a normal duration of sleep than there is normal height and weight. A study of 25
subjects spread over thousands of nights showed that the average amount of sleep needed to
feel well rested is seven-and-a-half hours, though individuals varied from six to nine hours.
According to Dr. Demmis Williams, a noted authority on sleep, the amount of sleep needed for
an individual’s well-being, is determined by what he feels he needs, not by what other people,
including the doctor, think is reasonable.
On the whole, women sleep from 45 minutes to one hour more than men. The amount of sleep
required varies at different ages as follows :
New Born : 18 to 20 hours
Growing children :10 to 12 hours
Adults : 6 to 9 hours
Aged persons : 5 to 7 hours
The depth of ordinary restful sleep fluctuates throughout the sleep. In most adults, sleep
deepens through the first hour, after which it lightens rather sharply and then more gradually
until morning or until the usual time of wakening. IN growing children, however , sleep deepens a
second time for a little while. According to Dr. Lindlahr, a famous naturopath, two hours before
and two hours after midnight are the most valuable for sleep of all the twenty-four hours of the
day. In these four hours, mental and physical vigour are at their lowest ebb and sleep is
soundest and most natural.
It is believed that three-quarters of our sleep consists of whatis called ‘ slow wave sleep.’ The
restorative processes occur during this time. The remaining quarter is taken by what is called
‘rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.’ It is also called paradosical or dreaming sleep and it comes
in episodes of about 20 minutes duration about five times in a night. It involves dreaming,
irregular heart rates, raised blood pressure and erection of the penis. It is in this phase of sleep
that normal healthy young men may have wet dreams. Both forms of sleep are considered
equally important, being normal sleeping rhythms.
Sleeping positions
There are many theories about good and bad sleeping positions. Practically everyone changes
positions several times during sleep. Hence how one starts out is of no consequence. It is a
good thing we do turn about in our beds. If we did not, we would awake in the morning stiff,
having maintained the same position all night. For proper sleep, however, one should not sleep
on one’s back but on the side with one or both legs brought well up and the head and the
shoulder slightly forward.
Sleep : Restorative of Tired Body and Mind
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap9.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:14:51 PM]
Sleeping pills are no remedy for sleeplessness. They are habit-forming and become less
effective when taken continuously. They lower the I.Q. dull the brain and can prove fatal if taken
in excess or before or after alcohol. The side-effect of sleeping pills include indigestion, skin
rashes, lowered resistance to infection, circulatory and respiratory problems, poor appetite, high
blood pressure,kidney and liver problems and mental confusion.
Sleeping well is an art. It needs a perfect blend of healthy habits and control of mind. A clean
body and mind, relaxed mood, physical exercises, and perfect dietary control are some of the
basic sleep-inducing methods.
Unpleasant situatins at bed time such as arguments, quarrels, watching a horror movie, listening
to loud music which would create anxiety, fear, excitement and worries should be avoided. Such
situations stimulate the cerebral cortex and tend to keep one awake.
The sleeping place should be well ventilated, with balanced temperature and free from noises.
The bed should be neither too hard nor too soft, but comfortable. The pillow should not be too
hard or too high. The bed clothes should be loose-fitting and light coloured. Another important
rule is not to have heavy food shortly before bed time.

NATURE CURE
Optimum Nutrition for Vigour and Vitality
Your food shall be your medicine.
- Hippocrates
Diet plays a vital role in the maintenance of good health and in the prevention and cure of
disease. In the words of Sir Robert McCarrison, one of the best known nutritionists, ‘The right
kind of food is the most important single factor in the promotion of health ; and the wrong kind of
food is the most important single factor in the promotion of disease. „
The human body builds up and maintains healthy cells, tissues, glands and organs only with the
help of various nutrients. The body cannot perform any of its functions, be they metabolic,
hormonal, mental, physical or chemical, without specific nutrients. The food which provides
these nutrients is thus one of the most essential factors in building and maintaining health.
Nutrition, which depends on food, is also of utmost importance in the cure of disease. The
primary cause of disease is a weakened organism or lowered resistance in the body, arising
from the adoption of a faulty nutritional pattern. There is an elaborate healing mechanism within
the body but it can perform its function only if it is abundantly supplied with all the essential
nutritional factors.
It is believed that at least 45 chemical components and elements are needed by human cells.
Each of these 45 substances, called essential nutrients, must be present in adequate diets. The
list of these nutrients, include oxygen and water. The other 43 essential nutrients are classified
into five main groups, namely carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins. All 45 of
these nutrients are vitally important and they work together. Therefore, the absence of any of
them will result in disease and eventually in death.
Research has shown that almost all varieties of disease can be produced by an under-supply of
various nutrients. These nutritional deficiencies occur on account of various factors, including the
intense processsing and refining of foods, the time lag between the harvesting and consumption
of vegetables and fruits, the chemicals used in bleaching, flavouring, colouring and preserving
foods and the chemical fertilisers, fungicides insecticides and sprays used for treating the soil.
Therefore, as a first principle of nutrition, one should insist upn whole meal flour and whole meal
bread and avoid the white stuff.
Research has also shown that diseases produced by combinatins of deficiencies can be
corrected when all the nutrients are supplied, provided irreparable damage has not been done. A
well-balanced and correct diet is thus of utmost importance for the maintenance of good health
and the healing of diseases. Such a diet, obviously should be made up of foods, which in
combination would supply all the essential nutrients.
It has been found that a diet which contains liberal quantities of (I) seeds, nuts, and grains , (ii)
vegetables and (iii) fruits, would provide adequate amounts of all the essential nutrients. These
foods have, therefore, been aptly called basic food groups and the diet contains these food
groups as optimum diet for vigour and vitality. It is described, in brief, below :
(I) Seeds , nuts and grains :
These are the most important and the most potent of all foods and contain all the important
nutrients needed for human growth. They contain the germ, the reproductive power which is of
vital importance for the lives of human beings and their health. Millet, wheat, oats, barley, brown
rice, beans and peas are all highly valuable in building health. Wheat, mung beans, alfalfa seeds
and soya beans make excellent sprouts. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, peanuts
and soya beans contain complete proteins of high biological value.
Seeds, nuts and grains are also excellent natural sources of essential unsaturated fatty acids
necessary for health. They are also good sources of lecithin and most of the B vitamins . They
are the best natural sources of vitamin C, which is perhaps the most important vitamin for the

preservation of health and prevention of premature ageing. Besides, they are rich sources of
minerals and supply necessary bulk in the diet. They also contain auxones, the natural
substance that play an important role in the rejuvenation of cells and prevention of premature
ageing.
(ii) Vegetables :
They are extremely rich source of minerals, enzymes and vitamins. Faulty cooking and
prolonged careless storage, however, destroy these valuable nutrients. Most of the vegetables
are, therefore, best consumed in their natural raw state in the form of salads.
There are different kinds of vegetables. They may be edible roots, stems, leaves, fruits and
seeds. Each group contributes to the diet in its own way. Fleshy roots have energy value and
good sources of vitamin B . Seeds are relatively high in carbohydrates and proteins and yellow
ones are rich in vitamin A. Leaves, stems and fruits are excellent sources of minerals, vitamins,
water and roughage.
To prevent loss of nutrients in vegetables, it would be advisable to steam or boil vegetables in
their juices on a slow fire and the water or cooking liquid should not be drained off. No vegetable
should be peeled unless it is so old that the peel is tough and unpalatable. In most root
vegetables, the largest amount of mineral is directly under the skin and these are lost if
vegetables are peeled. Soaking of vegetables should also be avoided if taste and nutritive value
are tobe preserved.
(iii) Fruits :
Like vegetables, fruits are an excellent source of minerals, vitamins and enzymes. They are
easily digested and exercise a cleansing effect on the blood and digestive tract. They contain
high alkaline properties, a high percentage of water and a low percentage of proteins and fats.
Their organic acid and high sugar content have immediate refreshing effects. Apart from
seasonable fresh fruits, dry fruits, such as raisins, prunesand figs are also beneficial.
Fruits are at their best when eaten in the raw and ripe states. In cooking, the loose portions of
the nutrient salts and carbohydrates. They are most beneficial when taken as a separate meal
by themselves, preferably for breakfast in the morning. If it becomes necessary to take fruits with
regular food, they should form a larger proportion of the meals. Fruits, however, make better
combination with milk than with meals. It is also desirable to take one kind of fruit at a time. For
the maintenance of good health, atleast one pound of uncooked fruits should form part of the
daily diet. In case of sickness, it will be advisable to take fruits in the form of juices.
The three basic health-building foods mentioned above should be supplemented with certain
special foods such as milk, vegetable oils and honey. Milk is an excellent food. It is considered
as ” Nature’s most nearly perfect food.” The best way to take milk is in its soured form – that is,
yogurt and cottage cheese. Soured milk is superior to sweet milk as it is in a predigested form
and more easily assimilated. Milk helps maintain a healthy intestinal flora and prevents intestinal
putrefaction and constipation.
High quality unrefined oils should be added to the diet. They are rich in unsaturated fatty acids,
vitamin C and F and lecithin. The average daily amount should not exceed two tablespoons .
Honey too is an ideal food. It helps increase calcium retention in the system, prevents nutritional
anaemia besides being beneficial in kidney and liver disorders, colds, poor circulation and
complexion problems. It is one of the nature’s finest energy-giving food.
A diet of the three basic food groups, supplemented with the special foods, mentioned above,
will ensure a complete and adequate supply of all the vital nutrients needed for health, vitality
and prevention of diseases. It is not necessary to include animal protein like egg, fish or meat in
this basic diet, as animal protein, especially meat, always has a detrimental effect on the healing
process. A high animal protein is harmful to health and may cause many of our common
ailments.
Daily Menu
Based on what has been stated above, the daily menu of a health-building and vitalising diet
should be on the following lines :
Optimum Nutrition for Vigour and Vitality
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap10.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:15:08 PM]
Upon arising :- A glass of lukewarm water mixed with the juice of a half a lemon and a
teaspoon of honey, or a glass of freshly squeezed juice of any available seasonable fruit such as
apple, pineapple, orange, sweet lime and grapes.
Breakfast :- Fresh fruits such as apple, orange, banana, grapes, or any available seasonal
fruits, a cup of butter-milk or unpasteurised milk and a handful of raw nuts or a couple of
tablespoons of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
Mid-morning snack : One apple or a banana or any other fruit.
Lunch : A bowl of freshly prepared steamed vegetables using salt, vegetable oil and butter for
seasoning, one or two slices of whole grain bread or chappatis and a glass of butter-milk.
Mid-afternoon : A glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice or any available fruit.
Dinner : A large bowl of fresh salad made up of green vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrot,
cabbage, cucumber, red beet and onion with lime juice dressing, any available sprouts such as
alfalfa seeds, and mung beans , a warm vegetable course, if desired, one tablespoon of fresh
butter, cottage cheese or a glass of butter-milk.
The above menu is a general outline around which an individual diet can be built. It can be
modified and changed to adopt to specific requirements and conditions. The menu for lunch and
dinner is interchangeable.
Do not drink liquids with meals. The water should be taken half an hour before meals or an hour
after meals. Milk, buttermilk, and vegetable soups are foods and can be taken with meals.

NATURE CURE
Miracles of Alkalizing Diet
The human body is composed of various organs and parts, which are made up of tissues and
cells. These tissues and cells are composed of 16 chemical elements.
The balance or equilibrium of these chemical elements in the body is an essential factor in the
maintenance of health and healing of disease. The acid-alkaline balance plays a vital role in this
balanced body chemistry. All foods, after digestion and absorption leave either an acid or
alkaline ash in the body depending on their mineral composition. The normal body chemistry is
approximately 20 per cent acid and 80 per cent alkaline. This is the acid-alkaline balance.
In normal health, the reaction of the blood is alkaline and that is essential for our physical and
mental well-being. The preponderence of alkalis in the blood is due to the fact that the products
of the vital combustions taking place in the body are mostly acid in character. Carbohydrates
and fats form about nine-tenths of the normal fuel of the body. IN normal health, this great mass
of material is converted into carbon dioxide gas and water. Half of the remaining one-tenth fuel is
also con- verted into the same gas and water. This huge amount of acid is transported by the
blood to the various points of discharge, mainly the lungs. By virtue of alkalinity, the blood is able
to transport the acid from the tissues to the discharge points.
Acidosis
Whenever the alkalinity of the blood is reduced, even slightly, its ability to transport the carbon
dioxide gets reduced. This results in the accumulation of acid in the tissues. This condition is
known as acidosis or hypo-alkalinity of the blood. Its symptoms are hunger, indigestion, burning
sensation and pain in the pharynx, nausea, vomiting, headache, various nervous disorders and
drowsiness. Acidosis is the breeding ground for most diseases. Nepthritis or Bright’s disease,
rheumatism, premature old age, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, skin disorders and various
degenerative diseases are traceable to this condition. It seriously interferes with the functions of
the glands and organs of the body. It also lowers the vitality of the system, thereby increasing
the danger of infectious diseases.
The main cause of acidosis or hypo-alkalinity of the blood is faulty diet, in which too many acid
forming foods have been consumed. In the normal process of metabolism or converting the food
into energy by the body,. various acids are formed in the system and in addition, other acids are
introduced in food. Whenever there is substantial increase in the formation of acids in the
system and these acids are not properly eliminated through the lungs, the kidneys and the
bowels , the alkalinity of the blood is reduced, resulting in acidosis.
Other causes of acidosis are depletion of alkali reserve due to diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera etc.,
accumulation of carbon dioxide in asphyxia and anoxia as in circulatory and pulmonary diseases
and accumulation of acetone bodies resulting from starvation, vomiting and diabetes millitus.
Acidosis can be prevented by maintaining a proper ratio between acid and alkaline foods in the
diet. Certain foods leave alkaline ash and help in maintaining the alkalinity of the food, while
others leave highly acid ash and lower the alkali reserve of the blood and tissue fluids to a very
large extent. Eggs do the same but less strongly than meats. Cereals of all kinds, including all
sorts of breads are also acid-forming foods , though much less than meats. All fruits, with
exceptions like plums and prunes and all green and root vegetables are highly alkaline foods
and help to alkalinize the blood and other tissue fluids.
Thus , our daily diet should consist of four-fifth of alkaline-forming foods such as juicy fruits,
tubers, legumes, ripe fruits, leafy and root vegetables and one fifty of acid-forming foods
containing concentrated proteins and starches such as meat, fish, bread and cereals. Eating
sensibly in this manner will ensure the necessary alkalinity of the food which will keep the body
in perfect health.
Whenever a person has acidosis, the higher the ratio of alkaline forming foods in his diet, the
quicker will be the recovery. Acids are neutralised by alkalies. It is, therefore, imperative that
Miracles of Alkalizing Diet
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap11.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:15:19 PM]
persons suffering from various ailments are given adequate alkaline ash foods to offset the
effects of acid-forming foods and leave a safe margin of alkalinity.
The most agreeable and convenient means of alkalizing the blood are citrus fruits and fruit
juices. The alkalizing value of citrus fruits are due to large percentage of alkaline salts, mainly
potash, which they contain. Each pint of orange juice contains 12 grains of potassium, one of the
most potent of alkalis. Lemon juice contains nine grains of the alkali to the pint and grape seven
grains.
Diet in Disease
In the diet during disease, breakfast may consist of fresh fruits, lunch may comprise raw
vegetables with acid and sub-acid fruits, and for dinner raw and cooked vegetables, or light
starchy vegetables like beet, carrot, cauliflower, egg-plant and squashes may be taken. Sweet
fruits may be added to this diet after seven days.
Foods are classified as acid-producing or alkaline-producing depending on their reaction on the
urine. Calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium present in foods contribute to the alkaline
effect, while sulphur, phosphorous and chlorine contribute to the acidic effect. Depending on the
pre-dominating constituents in a particular food, it is classified as acid-forming or
alkaline-forming.
The effect of food stuffs upon the alkalinity of the blood depends upon their residue which they
leave behind after undergoing oxidation in the body. It is an error to presume that because a
food tastes acid, it has an acidic reaction in the blood. For instance, fruits and vegetables have
organic acids in combination with soda and potash in the form of acid salts. When the acids are
burnt or utilised in the body, the alkaline soda or potash is left behind. Hence the effect of the
natural fruit acids is to increase the alkalinity of the blood rather than reduce it.
Based on the above observations, the following charts show the common foods with acid and
alkaline ash :

NATURE CURE
Vitamins and their Importance in Health and Disease
The word ‘ Vitamine’ meaning a vital amine was proposed by a Polish Researcher, Dr. Cacimir
Funk, in 1911 to designate a new food substance which cured beri-beri. Other terms were
proposed as new factors were discovered. But the word vitamin , with the final ‘e’ dropped, met
with popular favour.
Vitamins are potent organic compounds which are found in small concentrations in foods. They
perform specific and vital functions in the body chemistry. They are like electric sparks which
help to run human motors. Except for a few exceptions, they cannot be manufactured or
synthesized by the organism and their absence or improper absorption results in specific
deficiency disease. It is not possible to sustain life without all the essential vitamins. In their
natural state they are found in minute quantities in organic foods. WE must obtain them from
these foods or in dietary supplements.
Vitamins, which are of several kinds, differ from each other in physiological function, in chemical
structure and in their distribution in food. They are broadly divided into two categories, namely,
fat-soluble and water-soluble. Vitamins A, D, E and K are all soluble in fat and fat solvents and
are therefore, known as fat-soluble. They are not easily lost by ordinary cooking methods and
they can be stored in the body to some extent, mostly in the liver. They are measured in
international units. Vitamin B Complex and C are water soluble. They are dissolved easily in
cooking water. A portion of these vitamins may actually be destroyed by heating.
They cannot be stored in body and hence they have to be taken daily in foods. Any extra
quantity taken in any one day is eliminated as waste. Their values are given in milligrams and
micrograms, whichever is appropriate.
Vitamins, used therapeutically, can be of immense help in fighting disease and speeding
recovery. They can be used in two ways, namely, correcting deficiencies and treating disease in
place of drugs. Latest researches indicate that many vitamins taken in large doses far above the
actual nutritional needs, can have a miraculous healing effect in a wide range of common
complaints and illnesses. Vitamin therapy has a distinct advantage over drug therapy. While
drugs are always toxic and have many undesirable side effects, vitamins , as a rule are non-toxic
and safe.
The various functions of common vitamins, their deficiency symptoms, natural sources, daily
requirements and their therapeutic uses are discussed in brief as follows :
Vitamin A
Known as anti-opathalmic, vitamin A is essential for growth and vitality. It builds up resistance to
respiratory and other infections and works mainly on the eyes, lungs, stomach and intestines. It
prevents eye diseases and plays a vital role in nourishing the skin and hair. It helps to prevent
premature ageing and senillity, increases life expectancy and extends youthfulness. The main
sources of this vitamin are fish liver oil, liver, whole milk, curds, pure ghee, butter, cheese, cream
and egg yolk, green leafy and certain yellow root vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, turnip,
beets, carrot, cabbage and tomato and ripe fruits such as prunes, mangoes,pappaya, apricots,
peaches, almonds and other dry fruits. A prolonged deficinecy of vitamin A may result in
inflammation of the eyes, poor vision frequent colds, night blindness and increased susceptibility
to infections, lack of appetite and vigour, defective teeth and gums and skin disorders.
The recommended daily allowance of vitamin A is 5,000 international units for adults and 2,600
to 4,000 international units for children. When taken in large therapeutic doses, which are
usually 25,000 to 50,000 units a day, it is highly beneficial in the treatment of head and chest
colds, sinus trouble, influenza and other infectious diseases . It is also valuable in curing night
blindness and other eye diseases as well as many stubborn skin disorders. This vitamin can be
given upto 1,00,000 units a day for a limited period of four weeks under doctor’s supervision.
In a recent year-long study, huge doses of vitamin A given twice a year reduced death by about

30 per cent among Indonesian children. This has raised the hope in the fight against a significant
cause of childhood mortality in developing countries.
B COMPLEX VITAMINS
There are a large variety of vitamins in the B group, the more important being B1 or thiamine, B2
or riboflavin, B3 or niacin or nicotinic acid, B6 or pyridoxine, B9 or folic acid, B12 and B5 or
pantothenic acid. B vitamins are synergistic. They are more potent together than when used
seperately.
THIAMINE
Known as anti-beberi, anti-neuritic and anti-ageing vitamin, thiamine plays an important role in
the normal functioning of the nervous system, the regulation of carbohydrates and good
digestion. It protects heart muscle, stimulates brain action and helps prevent constipation. It has
a mild diuretic effect. Valuable sources of this vitamin are wheat germ, yeast, the outer layer of
whole grains, cereals, pulses,nuts, peas, legumes, dark green leafy vegetables, milk ,
egg,banana and apple. The deficiency of thiamine can cause serious impairment of the digestive
system and chronic constipation, loss of weight, diabetes, mental depression, nervous
exhaustion and weakness of the heart.
The recommended daily allowance for this vitamin is about two milligrams for adults and 1.2 mg.
for children. The need for this vitamin increases during illness, stress and surgery as well as
during pregnancy and lactation. When taken in a large quantity, say upto 50 mg. , it is beneficial
in the treatment of digestive disorders, neuritis and other nervous troubles as well as mental
depression. For best results, all other vitamins of B group should be administered
simultaneously. Prolonged ingestion of large doses of any one of the isolated B complex
vitamins may result in high urinary losses of other B-vitamins and lead to deficiencies of these
vitamins.
RIBOFLAVIN
Vitamin B2 or riboflavin, also known as vitamin G, is essential for growth and general health as
also for healthy eyes, skin, nails and hair. It helps eliminate sore mouth, lips and tongue. It also
functions with other substances to metabolis carbohydrates, fats, and protein. The main sources
of this vitamin are green leafy vegetables, milk, cheese, wheat germ, egg, almonds, sunflower,
seeds, citrus fruits and tomatoes. Its deficiency can cause a burning sensation in the legs, lips
and tongue, oily skin, premature wrinkles on face and arm and eczema.
The recommended daily allowance for this vitamin is 1.6 to 2.6 mg. for adults and 0.6 to one mg
for children. Its use in larger quantities, say from 25 to 50 mg. is beneficial in the treatment of
nutritional cataracts and other eye ailments, digestive disturbances, nervous depression, general
debility, and certain types of high blood pressure.
NIACIN
Vitamin B3 or niacin or nicotinic acid is essential for proper circulation, healthy functioning of the
nervous system and proper protein and carbohydrate metabolism. It is essential for synthesis of
sex hormones, cartisone, thyroxin and insulin. It is contained in liver, fish, poultry, peanut, whole
wheat,green leafy vegetables, dates, figs, prunes and tomato. A deficiency can lead to skin
eruptions, frequent stools, mental depression, insomnia, chronic headaches, digestives
disorders and anaemia.
The recommended daily allowance is 12 to 20 mg. for adults and 4.8 to 12 mg. for children.
Large doses of this vitamin say upto 100 mg. with each meal, preferably together with other B
group vitamins, affords relief in case of migraine and high blood pressure caused by
nervousness, high cholesterol and arteriosclerosis.
PYRIDOXINE
Vitamin B 6 or pyridoxine is actually a group of substance – pyridoxine, pyridoxinal and
pyridoxamine – that are closely related and function together. It helps in the absorption of fats
and proteins, prevents nervous and skin disorders and protects against degenerative diseases.
The main sources of this vitamin are yeast, wheat, bran, wheat germ, pulses, cereals, banana,
walnuts, soyabeans , milk, egg, liver, meat and fresh vegetables. Deficiency can lead to
dermatitis, conjuctivitis, anaemia, depression, skin disorders, nervousness, insomnia, migraine
Vitamins and their Importance in Health and Disease

headaches and heart diseases.
The recommended daily requirement is 2.0 mg. for adults and 0.2 mg. for children. This vitamin
used therapeuticlly from 100 to 150 mg. daily can relieve painful jonts and the discomforts of
pregnancy and pre-menstrual symptoms. Vitamin B6 is now the most intensively studied of all
vitamins. Researches are on the threshold of a number of promising developments involving
treatments of various ailments with this vitamin. They include hyperactivity in children, asthma,
arthritis, kidney stones, blood clots in heart attack victims and nervous disorders.
FOLIC ACID
Vitamin B9 or folic acid, along with vitamin B12 is necessary for the formation of red blood cells.
It is essential for the growth and division of all body cells for healing processes. It aids protein
metabolism and helps prevent premature greying. Valuable sources of this vitamin are deep
green leafy vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, brewers yeast, mushrooms , nuts,peanuts and
liver. A deficiency can result in certain types of anaemia, serious skin disorders, loss of hair,
impaired circulation, fatigue and mental depression.
The minimum daily requirement of this vitamin is 0.4 mg. To correct anaemia and deficiencies 5
mg or more are needed daily. Some authorities believe that folic acid is contraindicated in
leukemia and cancer.
PANTOTHENIC ACID
Vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid helps in cell building, main- taining normal growth and
development of the central nervous system. It stimulates the adrenal glands and increases the
production of cortisone and other adrenal hormones. It is essential for conversion of fatty and
sugar to energy. It also helps guard against most physical and mental stresses and toxins and
increases vitality. The main sources of this vitamin are whole grain bread and cereals, green
vegetables,peas , beans, peanuts and egg yolk. It can be synthesised in the body by intestinal
bacteria. A deficiency can cause chronic fatigue, hypoglycemia, greying and loss of hair, mental
depression, stomach disorders , blood and skin disorders.
The minimum daily requirement of this vitamin has not been established, but is estimated to be
between 30 and 50 mg a day. The usual therapeutic doses are 50 to 200 mg. In some studies,
1,000 mg or more were given daily for six moths without side effects. It is useful in the treatment
of insomnia, low blood pressure and hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.
VITAMIN B12
Vitamin B12 or cobolamin, commonly known as „red vitamin” , is the only vitamin that contains
essential mineral elements. It is essential for proper functioning of the central nervous system,
production and regeneration of red blood cells and proper utilisation of fat, carbohydrates and
protein for body building. It also improves concentration, memory and balance. Valuable sources
of this vitamin are kidney, liver, meat, milk, eggs, bananas and peanuts. Its deficiency can lead
to certain types of anaemia , poor appetite and loss of energy and mental disorders.
The recommended daily allowance of this vitamin is 3 mcg. Taken in large therapeutic doses
from 50 to 100 mcg., it is beneficial in the treatment of lack of concentration, fatigue, depression,
insomnia and poor memory.
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is essential for normal growth and the maintenance of practically all
the body tissues, especially those of the joints, bones, teeth, and gums. It protects one against
infections and acts as a harmless antibiotic. It promotes healing and serves as protection against
all forms of stress and harmful effects of toxic chemicals. It helps prevent and cure the common
cold. It also helps in decreasing blood cholesterol. This vitamin is found in citrus fruits, berries,
green and leafy vegetables, tomatoes, potatoes, sprouted bengal and green grams, A deficiency
can cause scurvy marked by weakness, anaemia, bleeding gums and painful and swollen parts,
slow healing of sores and wounds, premature ageing and lowered resistance to all infections.
The recommended daily allowance is 50 to 75 mg. for adults and 30 to 50 mg. for children.
Smokers and older persons have greater need for vitamin C. It is used therapeutically in huge
doses from 100 to 10,000mg. a day. It prevents and cures colds and infections effectively,
neutralises various toxins in the system, speeds healing processes in virtually all cases of ill

health, increases sexual vitality and prevents premature ageing. According to Dr. Linus Pauling,
a world famous chemist and nutrition expert, ” because vitamin C is one of the least toxic
vitamins, it is very safe to use in high doses. ” Your body will take exactly what it needs and
excrete any excess naturally.”
VITAMIN D
Vitamin D is necessary for proper bone and teeth formation and for the healthy functioning of the
thyroid gland. It assists in the assimilation of calcium, phosphorus and other minerals from the
digestive tract. This vitamin is found in the rays of the sun, fish,milk, eggs, butter and sprouted
seeds. A deficiency can cause gross deformation of bones and severe tooth decay.
The recommended daily allowance of this vitamin for both adults and children is 400 to 500
international units. Therepeutically, upto 4,000 to 5,000 units a day for adult or half of this for
children, is a safe dose, if taken for not longer than one month. It is beneficial in the treatment of
muscular fatigue, constipation and nervousness. It can be toxic if taken in excessive doses,
especially for children. Signs of toxicity are unusual thirst, sore eyes, itching skin, vomiting,
diarrhoea, urinary urgency, abnormal calcium deposits in blood vessel walls, liver, lungs, kidneys
and stomach.
VITAMIN E
Vitamin E is essential for normal reproductory functions, fertility and physical vigour. It prevents
unsaturated fatty acids, sex hormones and fat soluble vitamins from being destroyed in the body
by oxygen. It dilutes blood vessels and improves circulation. It is essential for the prevention of
heart diseases, asthma, arthritis, and many other conditions. It is available in wheat or cereals
germ, whole grain products, green leafy vegetables, milk, eggs, all whole, raw or sprouted seeds
and nuts. Its deficiency can lead to sterility in men and repeated abortions in women,
degenerative developments in the coronary system, strokes and heart disease.
The official estimated requirement of this vitamin is 15 international units. Expert nutritionist
estimate the actual requirement at 100 to 200 I.U. a day. The therapeutic doses are from 200 to
2400 I.U. daily. It is beneficial in the treatment of various forms of paralysis, diseases of the
muscles, artheriosclerosic heart disease by diluting blood vessels. It prevents formation of scars
in burns and post-operation healing. It protects against many environmental poisons in air, water
and food. It also has a dramatic effect on the reproductive organs and prevents miscarriage,
increases male and female fertility and helps to restore male potency.
VITAMIN K
Vitamin K is necessary for the proper clotting of blood, prevention of bleeding and normal liver
functions. It aids in reducing excessive menstrual flow. This vitamin is contained in egg yolk,
cow’s milk, yogurt, alfalfa, green and leafy vegetables, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage and
tomato. Its deficiency can lead to sufficient bile salts in the intestines, colitis, lowered vitality and
premature ageing.

Vitamins and their Importance in Health and Disease

NATURE CURE
Minerals and Their Importance in Nutrition
The term ‘ mineals ‘ refers to elements in their simple inorganic form. In nutrition they are
commonly referred to as mineral elements or inorganic nutrients.
Minerals are vital to health. Like vitamins and amino acids, minerals are essential for regulating
and building the trillions of living cells which make up the body. Body cells receive the essential
food elements through the blood stream. They must, therefore, be properly nourished with an
adequate supply of all the essential minerals for the efficient functioning of the body.
Minerals help maintain the volume of water necessary to life processes in the body. They help
draw chemical substances into and out of the cells and they keep the blood and tissue fluid from
becoming either too acidic or too alkaline. The importance of minerals, like vitamins, is illustrated
by the fact that there are over 50,000 enzymes in the body which direct growth and energy and
each enzyme has minerals and vitamins associated with it. Each of the essential food minerals
does a specific job in the body and some of them do extra work, in teams, to keep body cells
healthy. The mineral elements which are needed by the body in substantial amounts are
calcium, phosphorous, iron, sulphur, magnesium, sodium, potassium and chlorine. In addition
the body needs minute (trace) amounts of iodine, copper, cobalt, manganese, zinc, seleminum,
silicon, flourine and some others.
CALCIUM
The human body needs calcium more than any other mineral. A man weighing 70 kg. contains
one kg. of calcium. About 99 per cent of the quantity in the body is used for building strong
bonesand teeth and the remaining one per cent is used by the blood, muscles and nerves.
Calcium performs many important functions. Without this mineral , the contractions of the heart
would be faulty, the muscles would not contract properly to make the limbs move and blood
would not clot. Calcium stimulates enzymes in the digestive process and coordinates the
functions of all other minerals in the body. Calcium is found in milk and milk products, whole
wheat, leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, and cabbage , carrots, watercress, oranges,
lemons, almonds, figs and walnuts. A daily intake of about 0.4 to 0.6 grams of calcium is
considered desirable for an adult. The requirement is larger for growing children and pregnant
and lactating women. Deficiency may cause porous and fragile bones, tooth decay, heart
palpitations, muscle cramps, insomnia and irritability.
A large increase in the dietary supply of calcium is needed in tetany and when the bones are
decalcified due to poor calcium absorption, as in rickets, oesteomalacia and the malabsorption
syndrome. Liberal quantity of calcium is also necessary when excessive calcium has been lost
from the body as in hyperparathyroidism or chronic renal disease.
PHOSPHORUS
It combines with calcium to create the calcium-phorphorus balance necessary for the growth of
bones and teeth and in the formation of nerve cells. This mineral is also essential for the
assimilation of carbohydrates and fats. It is a stimulant to the nerves and brain.
Phosphorous is found in abundance in cereals, pulses, nuts, egg yolk, fruit juices, milk and
legumes. Usually about one gram of phosphorous is considered necessary in the daily diet.
A phosphorous deficiency may bring about loss of weight, retarded growth, reduced sexual
powers and general weakness. It may result in poor mineralisation of bones, deficient nerve and
brain function.
While taking calcium in therapeutic doses for calcium deficiency conditions or for treating
ailments, it is advisable to take the calcium supplement in which phosphorous has been added
in the correct proportions. This is necessary as calcium cannot achieve its objectives unless
phosphorous is present in a proper balance.
Minerals and Their Importance in Nutrition

IRON
Iron is an important mineral which enters into the vital activity of the blood and glands. Iron exists
chiefly as haemoglobin in the blood. It distributes the oxygen inhaled into the lungs to all the
cells. It is the master mineral which creates warms, vitality and stamina. It is required for the
healthy complexion and for building up resistance in the body.
The chief sources of iron are grapes, raisins, spinach, all green vegetables, whole grain, cereals,
dried beans, dark coloured fruits, beets, dates, liver and egg yolk. The Indian Council of Medical
Research has recommended an allowance of 20 to 30 mg. of iron in a balanced diet for an adult.
Iron deficiency is generally caused by severe blood loss,malnutrition , infecttions and by
excessive use of drugs and chemicals. Deficiency of dietary iron may cause nutritional-anaemia,
lowered resistance to disease, a general run down condition, pale complexion, shortness of
breath on manual exertion and loss of interest in sex.
Iron is the classic remedy for anaemia. However, there are several forms of anaemia, and iron
deficiency anaemia is only one. If one is taking iron pills due to insufficient intake of iron in the
normal diet, one should also take atleast 40 mg. of folic acid or folate every day, alongwith 10 to
25 mg. of vitamin B12. Both these vitamins are essential in building healthy blood cells.
SULPHUR
All living matter contains some sulphur ; this element is therefore essential for life. The greater
part of the sulphur in the human body is present in the two sulphur-containing amino acids,
methionine and cysteine, or in the double form of the latter cystine. The main purpose of sulphur
is to dissolve waste materials. It helps to eject some of the waste and poisons from the system.
It helps keep the skin clear of blemishes and makes hair glossy. It is also valuable in rheumatic
conditions.
The main sulphur-containing foods are radishes, carrots, cabbage,cheese, dried beans, fish and
eggs. There is no recommended dietary allowance. But a diet sufficient in protein will generally
be adequate in sulphur. Deficiency of sulphur may cause eczema and imperfect development of
hair and nails.
Sulphur creams and ointments have been remarkably successful in treating a variety of skin
problems.
MAGNESIUM
All human tissues contain small amounts of magnesium. The Adult human body contains about
25 gms. of this mineral. The greater part of this amount is present in bones in combination with
phosphate and carbonate. Bone ashes contain less than one per cent magnesium. About
one-fifty of the total magnesium in the body is present in the soft tissues, where it is mainly
bound to protein. Next to potassium, magnesium is the predominant metallic action in living
cells. The bones seem to provide a reserve supply of this mineral in case of shortage elsewhere
in the body.
Biochemists call magnesium the ” cool, alkaline, refreshing, sleep-promoting mineral”.
Magnesium helps one keep calm and cool during the sweltering summer months. It aids in
keeping nerves relaxed and normally balanced. It is necessary for all muscular activity. This
mineral is in activator for most of the enzyme system involving carbohydrate, fat and protein in
energy-producing reactions. It is involved in the production of lecithin which prevents building up
of cholesterol and consequent atheros-clerosis. Magnesium promotes a healthier cardiovascular
system and aids in fighting depression. It helps prevent calcium deposits in kidneys and
gallstones and also brings relief from indigestion.
Magnesium is widely distributed in foods. It is a part of the chlorophyll in green vegetables. Other
good sources of this mineral are nuts, soyabeans, alfalfa, apples, figs, lemons, peaches,
almonds, whole grains, brown rice, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. The recommended
dietary allowances for magnesium are 350 mg. per day for adult man, 300 mg. for women and
450 me. during pregnancy and lactation. Deficiency can lead to kidney damage and kidney
stones, muscle cramps, arteriosclerosis, heart attack, epileptic seizures, nervous irritability,
marked depression and confusion, impaired protein metabolism and premature wrinkles.
Chronic alcoholics often show a low plasma magnesium concentration and a high urinary output.
They may, therefore, require magnesium therapy especially in an acute attack of delirium
tremens. Magnesium has also proved useful in bladder and urinary problems and in epileptic
Minerals and Their Importance in Nutrition

seizure. This mineral together with vitamin B6 or pyridoxine has also been found effective in the
prevention and treatment of kidney stones. Magnesium can be taken in therapeutic doses upto
700 mg. a day.
SODIUM
Sodium Chloride , the chemical name for common salt, contains 39 per cent of sodium, an
element which never occurs in free form in nature. It is found in an associated form with many
minerals especially in plentiful amounts with chlorine. The body of a healthy person weighing
about 65 kg. contains 256 g. of sodium chloride. Of this the major part, just over half, is in the
extra-cellular fluid. About 96 g. is in bone and less than 32 g. in the cells.
Sodium is the most abundant : chemical in the extra-cellular fluid of the body. It acts with other
electrolytes, especially potassium, in the intracellular fluid, to regulate the osmotic pressure and
maintain a proper water balance within the body. It is a major factor in maintaining acid-base
equilibrium, in transmitting nerve impulses, and in relaxing muscles. It is also required for
glucose absorption and for the transport of other nutrients across cell membranes. Sodium can
help prevent catarrh. It promotes a clear brain, resulting in a better disposi tion and less mental
fatigue. Because of its influence on calcium, sodium can also help dissolve any stones forming
within the body. It is also essential for the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and
plays a part in many other glandular secretions.
There is some natural salt in every food we eat. Vegetable foods rich in sodium are celery,
cucumbers, watermelon, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, beet-tops, cabbage, lettuce, corn, lady’s
fingers, apple, berries, pears, squash, pumpkin, peaches, lentils, almonds and walnuts. Animal
food sources include shell fish, lean beef, kidney, bacon and cheese. The sodium chloride
requirements for persons living in the tropics have been estimated at 10 to 15 g. per day for
adults who are engaged in light work and 15 to 20 g. for those engaged in hard work. The
requirements of children are from five to 10 g. and those for adolescent boys and girls from 10 to
25 g.
Both deficiency and excess of salt may produce adverse effects o the human body. Deficiencies
of sodium are, however, rare and may be caused by excessive sweating, prolonged use of
diuretics, or chronic diarrhoea. Deficiency may lead to nausea, muscular weakness, heat
exhaustion, mental apathy and respiratory failure. Over-supply of sodium is a more common
problem because of overuse of dietary sodium chloride or common salt. Too much sodium may
lead to water retention, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, stomach cancer, harden- ing of
arteries and heart disease.
In case of mild deficiency of sodium chloride, taking a teaspoon of common salt in one half litre
of water or any fruit juice quickly restores the health. In severe conditions, however,
administration of sodium chloride in the form of normal saline by intravenous drip may be
restored to. The adverse effects of excessive use of sodium chloride can be rectified by avoiding
the use of common salt.
POTASSIUM
Potassium is essential to the life of every cell of a living being and is among the most generously
and widely distributed of all the tissue minerals. It is found principally in the intracellular fluid
where it plays an important role as a catalyst in energy metabolsim and in the synthesis of
glycogen and protein. The average adult human body contains 120 g. as potassium and 245 g.
as potassium chloride. Out of this body potassium, 117 g. is found in the cells and 3 g. in the
extracellular compartment.
Potassium is important as an alkalizing agent in keeping a proper acid-alkaline balance in the
blood and tissues. It is essential for muscle contraction and therefore, important for proper heart
function. It promotes the secretion of hormones and helps the kidneys in detoxification of blood.
Potassium prevents female disorders by stimulating the endocrine hormone production. It is
involved in the proper functioning of the nervous system and helps overcome fatigue. It also aids
in clear thinking by sending oxygen to the brain and assists in reducing blood pressure.
Potassium is widely distributed in foods. All vegetables, especially green, leafy vegetables,
grapes, oranges, lemons, raisins, whole grains, lentils, sunflower seeds, nuts, milk, cottage
cheese and butter milk are rich sources. Potatoes, especial potato peelings, and bananas are
especially good sources. Potassium requirements have not been established but on intake of 0.8
Minerals and Their Importance in Nutrition
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap13.htm (3 of 6) [5/19/1999 9:15:56 PM]
to 1.3 g. per day is estimated as approximately the minimum need. Potassium deficiency may
occur during gastrotestinal disturbances with severe vomiting and diarrhoea, diabetic acidosis
and potassium-losing nephritis. It causes undue nervous and body tiredness, palpitation of the
heart, cloudiness of the mind, nervous shaking of the hands and feet, great sensitivity of the
nerves to cold, and excessive perspiration of the feet and hands.
In simple cases of potassium deficiency, drinking plenty of tender coconut water daily , can
make up for it. It is advisable to consume plenty of figs, apricots, prunes, almonds and tomatoes
during the use of oral diuretics. Potassium-rich foods should be restricted during acute renal
failure and Addison’s disease.
CHLORINE
In the human body, chlorine is liberated by the interaction of common salt, taken along with food,
and hydrochloric acid liberated in the stomach during the process of digestion. It is essential for
the proper distribution of carbon dixoxide and the maintenance of osmotic pressure in the
tissues.
This food element is necessary for the manufacture of glandular hormone secretions. It prevents
the building of excessive fat and auto-intoxication. Chlorine regulates the blood’s alkaline -acid
balance and works with Potassium in a compound form. It aids in the cleaning out of body waste
by helping the liver to function.
Chlorine is found in cheese and other milk products, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, all
berries, rice, radishes, lentils, coconuts and egg yolk. No dietary allowance has been
established, but an average intake of daily salt will ensure adequate quantity of chlorine.
Deficiency of this mineral can cause loss of hair and teeth.
IODINE
The chief store-house of iodine in the body is the thyroid gland. The essential thyroxine, which is
secreted by this gland, is made by the circulating iodine. Thyroxine is a wonder chemical which
controls the basic metabolism and oxygen consumption of tissues. It increases the heart rate as
well as urinary calcium excretion. Iodine regulates the rate of energy production and body weight
and promotes proper growth. It improves mental alacrity and promotes healthy hair, nails, skin
and teeth.
The best dietary sources of iodine are kelp and other seaweeds. Other good sources are turnip
greens, garlic, watercress, pineapples, pears, artichokes, citrus fruits, egg yolk and seafoods
and fish liver oils. The recommended dietary allowances are 130 mcg. per day for adult males
and 100 mcg. per day for adult females. An increase to 125 mcg. per day during pregnancy and
to 150 mcg. per day during lactation has been recommended. Deficiency can cause goitre and
enlargement of the thyroid glands.
Small doses of iodine are of great value in the prevention of goitre in areas where it is endemic
and are of value in treatments, at least in the early stages. Larger doses have a temporary value
in the preparation of patients with hyperthyroidism for surgical operation.
COPPER
There are approximately 75 to 150 mg. of copper in the adult human body. Newborn infants
have higher concentrations than adults. Liver, brain, kidney, heart, and hair contain relatively
high concentration. Average serum copper levels are higher in adult females than in males.
Serum copper levels also increase significantly in women both during pregnancy and when
taking oral contraceptives.
This mineral helps in the conversion of iron into haemoglobin. It stimulates the growth of red
blood cells. It is also an integral part of certain digestive enzymes. It makes the amino acid
tyrosine usable, enabling it to work as the pigmenting factor for hair and skin. It is also essential
for the utilisation of vitamin C. Copper is found in most foods containing iron, especially in
almonds, dried beans, peas, lentils, whole wheat, prunes and egg yolk. The recommended
dietary allowance has not been established but 2 mg. is considered adequate for adults. A
copper deficiency may result in bodily weakness, digestive disturbances and impaired
respiration.
COBALT
Minerals and Their Importance in Nutrition
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap13.htm (4 of 6) [5/19/1999 9:15:56 PM]
Cobalt is a component of vitamin B12, a nutritional factor necessary for the formation of red
blood cells. Recent research in vitamin B12 has shown that its pink colour is attributed to the
presence of cobalt in it. The presence of this mineral in foods helps the synthesis of
haemoglobin and the absorption of food- iron. The best dietary sources of cobalt are meat,
kidney and liver. All green leafy vegetables contain some amount of this mineral. No daily
allowance has been set. Only a very small amount upto 8 mcg. is considered necessary.
MANGANESE
The human body contains 30 to 35 mg. of manganese, widely distributed throughout the tissues.
It is found in the liver , pancreas, kidney, pituitary glands.
This mineral helps nourish the nerves and brain and aids in the coordination of nerve impulses
and muscular actions. It helps eliminate fatigue and reduces nervous irritability. Manganese is
found in citrus fruits, the outer covering of nuts, grains, in the green leaves of edible plants, fish
and raw egg yolk. No official daily allowance of manganese has been established, but 2.5 to 7
mg. is generally accepted to be the average adult requirement. A deficiency of this mineral can
lead to dizziness, poor elasticity in the muscles, confused thinking and poor memory.
ZINC
There are about two grams of zinc in the body where it is highly concentrated in the hair, skin,
eyes, nails and testes. It is a constituent of many enzymes involved in mertabolism.
Zinc is a precious mineral. Our need for this mineral is small but its role in growth and well-being
is enormous, starting before birth. It is needed for healthy skin and hair, proper healing of
wounds, successful pregnancies and male virility. It plays a vital role in guarding against
diseases and infection. It is needed to transport vitamin A to the retina. There are 156 enzymes
that require zinc for their functioning. It has long been known that growth and sexual maturity
depend on zinc.
The main dietary sources of zinc are milk, liver, beans, meat, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. The
recommended dietary allowance of zinc is 15 mg. daily. Deficiency can result in weight loss, skin
diseases, loss of hair, poor appetite, diarrhoea and frequent infection. Those suffering from
rheumatoid arthritis may have a zinc deficinecy. Heavy drinks lose a lot of zinc in their urine.
SELENIUM
Selenium and vitamin E are synergistic and the two together are stronger than the sum of the
equal parts. Selenium slows down ageing and hardening of tissues through oxidation. Males
seem to have a greater need for this mineral. Nearly half of the total supply in the body is
concentrated in the testicles and in the seminal ducts adjacent to the prostate gland.
Salemium is useful in keeping youthful elasticity in tissues. It alleviates hot flushes and
menopausal distress. It also helps in the prevention and treatment of dandruff. This mineral is
found in Brewer’s yeast, garlic,onions, tomatoes, eggs, milk and sea food. There is no official
dietary allowance for salemium but, 50 to 100 mcg. is considered adequate. Deficiency of this
mineral can cause premature loss of stamina.
SILICON
This is known as the ” beauty mineral ” as it is essential for the growth of skin, hair shafts, nails
and other outer coverings of the body. It also makes the eyes bright and assists in hardening the
enamel of the teeth. It is beneficial in all healing process and protects body against many
diseases such as tuberculosis, irritations in mucous membranes and skin disorders.
Silicon is found in apples, cherries, grapes, asparagus, beets, onions, almonds, honey, peanuts
and the juices of the green leaves of most other vegetables. No official dietary allowance has
been established for this mineral. Deficiency can lead to soft brittle nails, ageing symptoms of
skin such as wrinkles, thinning or loss of hair, poor bone development, insomnia, osteoporosis.
FLUORINE
Fluorine is the element that prevents diseases from decaying the body. It is a germicide, and
acts as an antidote to poison, sickness and disease. There is a strong affinity between calcium
and fluorine. These two elements , when combined, work particularly in the outer parts of bones.
They are found in the enamel of the teeth and the shiny, highly polished bone surface. Fluorine
is found in goat’s milk, cauliflower, watercress, garlic, beets, cabbage, spinach and pistachio

nuts.
Minerals thus play an important role in every bodily function and are present in every human cell.
Although the amount needed may be small, without even the trace of the mineral , dysfunction is
bound to occur at some level in the body. A zinc deficiency may show up in ridged fingernails
with white spots. Lack of sulphur can cause lack-lustre hair and dull-looking skin. Less obvious
deficiencies may surface as fatigue, irritability, loss of memory ,nervousness, depression and
weakness. Minerals also interact with vitamins. Magnesium, for instance, must be present in the
body for utilisation of B-complex, C and E vitamins. Sulphur also works with the B-complex
vitamins. The body needs all the trace minerals in proper balance. Coffee, tea, alcohol, excess
salt and many drugs can rope the body of minerals or make them ineffective. Industrial
pollutants cause toxic minerals to enter the body. Minerals at toxic levels also have the effect of
destroying the usefulness of other vitamins and minerals. Exercise improves the activity of
certain vitamins and minerals while stress and fatigue work against them.
A well-balanced diet provides as abundance of minerals and vitamins. In refining cereals, grains
and sugar, we have robbed them of their natural vitamins and minerals. The dietary sources of
these nutrients are whole grains, cereals, bran and germ. It is the bran and germ which are
removed in processing. To obtain a balance of nutrients, it is , therefore, necessary to avoid
refined and processed foods but an intake of adequate green leafy vegetables which are an
excellent source of many nutrients should be ensured.

NATURE CURE
Amazing Power of Amino Acids
In 1838, a Dutch chemist, G.J. Mulder, described a certain organic material as „unqestionably
the most important of all known substances in the organic kingdom. Without it, no life appears
possible on our planet. Through its means the chief phenomena of life are produced. ” This
complex nitrogen-bearing substance was called protein from the Greek word meaning ” take the
first place.” Protein in now a group name signifying the principal nitrogenous constituents of the
protoplasm of all plant and animal tissues.
Proteins are extremely complex organic compounds of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, and,with some exceptions, sulphur. Most proteins also contain phosphorous, and some
specialised proteins contain iron, iodine, copper and other inorganic elements. The presence of
nitrogen distinguishes proteins from carbohydrates and fats.
Proteins are thus vital substances, which form important constituent of muscles, tissues, and the
blood. Proteins supply the building material for the body and make good the wear and tear of
tissues. Several substances concerned with vital life processes such as enzymes, which help in
digestion of food, are chiefly protein in nature.
There are several varieties of protein. Each type contains a specific number of „building blocks „
known as amino-acids. Before they can be absorbed by the body, all proteins must first be
broken down into amino-acids. When food stuffs are ingested, the nutrients and amino-acids do
not immediately diffuse into all the different tissues. There are a series of biochemical reactions
in the digestive tract which collect these proteins, break them down and then utilise them as
needed. Any interference with the normal digestive process causes in-complete protein digestion
resulting in gas, bloating etc.
There are about 22 amino acids needed for the normal functioning of the body. The body can
manufacture many amino acids if it has no adequate nitrogen source, but it cannot produce
certain others in sufficient amounts to meet its needs. The amino acids that the body cannot
synthesis is in adequate amounts are called essential or indispensable because they must be
supplied by the diet in proper proportions and amounts to meet the requirements for
maintenance of growth of tNon-essential or dispensable amino acids are those thatissue. the
body can synthesize in sufficient amounts to meet its needs if the total amount of nitrogen
supplied by protein is adequate. The essential and non-essential amino acids are listed in table
A.

*Histidine is required for infants but its essentiality for adults has not been clearly established.
It will be seen from this statement that nine amino acids are essential for maintenance of
nitrogen equilibrium in human bodies. The estimated requirements of essential amino acids for
infants, children and adults are given in Table B. Men in the older age group appear to differ in
their requirements. Studies seem to suggest an increase need for methionine and lysine for
them. Infants and children have proportionally greater demands for essential amino acids than
adults. In addition, infants require histidine as an essential amino acid.

** 2 g. per kg. of body weight per day of protein of the quality listed in column 4 would meet the
amino acids needs of the infant.
Factors in addition to the age, sex and physiological condition of an individual influence the
requirements for specific amino acids. If total protein intake is low, small surpluses of certain
amino acids can increase the need for others. The non-essential amino acids in protein also
affect the quality of protein. For example, the amount of sulphur – containing essential amino
acid methionine required may be somewhat reduced if cystine, a sulphur-containing nonessential
amino acid,is supplied in the diet. Likewise, the presence in the diet of tyrosine, a
non-essential amino acid similar in structure to phenylalanine, may reduce the requirement for
phenylalanine.
Much research has been done on amino acids in recent times and this has paved the way for
dramatic treatment and cure of different problems by their judicious use. They are now dubbed
as ” the nutrients of the 80’s” and „medical foods”.
The various functions of the essential and frequently investigated non-essential amino acids,
their deficiency symptoms and their therapeutic uses are discussed below :
TRYPTOPHAN
Of all the essential amino acids , tryptophan is the one that is most investigated by nutrition
researchers. It is essential to blood clotting, digestive juices and the optic system. It induces
sleep and quietens the nervous system. It wards off signs of premature old age – cataracts of the
eyes, baldness, deterioration of sex glands and malformation of teeth enamel. It is also
necessary to the female reproductive organs and for proper utilisation of vitamin A by the body.
Major sources of this amino acids are nuts, and most vegetables. Lack of tryptophan causes
symptoms similar to those of vitamin A deficiency.
A number of scientists feel that it can be used as a safe and effective food remedy for insomnia
Amazing Power of Amino Acids
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap14.htm (2 of 5) [5/19/1999 9:16:13 PM]
and pain. Under experimental conditions, tryptophan in doses of one gram or more has been
shown to be most effective for persons who suffer from mild insomnia and for those who take a
long time to fall asleep. Tryptophan may also be a natural painkiller. Researches at Temple
University in Philadelphia have indicated that it worked without causing the side effects
associated with other anesthesia or analgesics.
Tryptophan as a food medicine should be taken between meals with a low protein food such as
fruit juice or bread . One to three grams a day seems to be the range favoured by most
researchers.
METHIONINE
This is a vital sulphur -bearing compound which helps dissolve cholesterol and assimilates fat. It
is required by haemoglobin, the pancreas , the lymph and the spleen. It is necessary to maintain
normal body weight and also helps maintain the proper nitrogen balance in the body. Rich
sources of methionine are Brazil nut, Hazal nut, and other nuts. It is also found in Brussel
sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, pineapples and apples. Its deficiency can lead to chronic
rheumatic fever in children, hardening of the liver (cirrhosis) and nephritis of the kidneys. Studies
show that methionine and chorine prevent tumours and proliferation.
LYSINE
Lysine inhibits viruses. Its use along with vitamin C, zinc and vitamin A helps eliminate virus
infections. Vitamin C protects this amino acid while in the body so that lysine plus vitamin C has
a much stronger anti-virus effect than if either is used seperately. Lysine also influences the
female reproductive cycle. Lack of adequate lysine in the diet may cause headaches, dizziness,
nausea and incipient anaemia. The main sources of this amino acid are most kinds of nuts,
seeds, vegetables and sub-acid fruits. Lysine upsets in the body have also been associated with
pneumonia, nephrosis and acidosis as well as malnutrition and rickets in children.
It is considered a natural remedy for cold, sores, shingles and genital herpes. In a study
published in 1983, a group of researchers polled over 1,500 people whose daily intake of lysine
was over 900 mg. 88 per cent said that lysine seemed to reduce the severity of their attacks of
herpes virus and accelerated the healing time. These results have, however, been disputes by
some scientists.
VALINE
Valine is an essential body growth factor, particularly for mammary glands and ovaries. Valine is
directly linked with the nervous system. It is essential for the prevention of nervous and digestive
disorders. Major sources are almonds, apples and most vegetables. Lack of this amino acid
makes a person sensitive to touch and sound.
ISOLEUCINE
This amino acid is essential for maintaining the nitrogen balance vital to all body functions. It
also regulates metabolism of the thymus, spleen and pituitary glands. Rich sources are
sunflower seeds, all nuts, except cashew nuts, avacados and olives.
LEUCINE
It is the compliment of isoleucine, with a similar chemical composition although in different
arrangement. Its functions and sources are also similar.
PHENYLALANINE
This is essential to the production of hormone adrenalie ; to the production of the thyroid
secretion and the hair and skin pigment, melanin. It is effective in weight control because of its
effect on the thyroid. Its use before meals suppresses the appetite substantially. Patients taking
half a teaspoon of the powder 30 minutes before each meal, lose from a quarter to half a pound
a day. It is alsoessential for the efficient functioning of kidneys and bladder. Major source are
nuts, seeds, carrots, parsley and tomatoes. An important recently discovered therapeutic use of
phenylalanine is its ability to overcome most conditions of lethargy through stimulation of
adrenaline.
THREONINE
Amazing Power of Amino Acids
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap14.htm (3 of 5) [5/19/1999 9:16:13 PM]
This amino acid is found in various types of milk and is a major constituent in cow’s milk. Other
sources are nuts, seeds, carrots and green vegetables. Without threonine, a child’s development
will be incomplete and there will be malfunctioning of the brain. This amino acid has a powerful
anti-convulsive effect.
HISTIDINE
This helps tissue growth and repair. It is active in producing normal blood supply. It is also vital
to the formation of glycogen in the liver. It is found in the root vegetables and all green
vegetables. Studies indicate that the free form of histidine in the blood is low in cases of
rheumatoid arthritis and if taken orally, may possibly depress the symptoms of this ailment. Oral
histidine has , however, a tendency to stimulate hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach and
persons who are susceptible to an overabundance of acid and also those who have ulcers
should avoid taking pure histidine. Orthopaedic and joint pains are caused by lack of histidine.
ARGININE
This is called the ” fatherhood ” amino acid as it comprises 80 per cent of all male reproductive
cells. It is essential for normal growth. Serious lack of this amino acid reduces the sex instinct
causing impotence. It is found in most vegetables, especially, green and root vegetables.
CYSTINE
It provides resistance by building up white-cell activity. It is an indispensable amino acid. It is one
of the mainstays of health as it is essential for the proper formation of skin and helps one
recover from surgery. It promotes the formation of carolene which helps hair growth. It is used in
the treatment of skin diseases, for low white blood-cells counts and for some cases of anaemia.
TYROSINE
This can be called an anti-stress amino acid. Dr. Richard Wurtman who recently conducted
experiments on the use of this amino acid says : ” Supplemented tyrosine may be useful
therapeutically in persons exposed chronically to stress. „
Tyrosine is also beneficial for depression, nervousness, irritability and despondency. Research
has established this amino acid to be effective in the management and control of depression in
conjunction with glutamine, tryptophan, niacin and vitamin B6. It is also helpful in the treatment
of allergies and high blood pressure.
Although individual nee may vary, Dr. Wurtman considers 100 mg. per kilogram of body weight
per day an optional dose. This works out to about 5.4 grams of tyrosine a day for a person
weighing 120 pounds. The supplement may be divided into three separate doses each day.
When tyrosine is taken, a supplement of valine, another essential amino acid should not be
taken as valine may block tyrosine’s entry to the brain.
GLUTAMINE
This little known non-essential amino acid known as ” sobriety nutrient ” . It is considered
beneficial in the treatment of alcoholism. According to Roger J. Williams , a world-known
nutritionist, glutamine reduces the usually irresistible craving for alcohol that recovering drinkers
almost inevitably encounter.
CYSTEINE
There is some evidence that cysteine ( not to be confused with cystine) has certain therapeutic
value as a nutritional supplement. Dr. H. Ghadimi, chairman of the nutrition committee at Nassau
country, ( New York) medical centre uses cysteine supplements to treat his patients suffering
from obesity. He considers that there is link between obesity and over-production of insulin and
that cysteine supplements taken along with vitamin C at the end of the meals somehow
neutralises some of the excess insulin, which is responsible for fat production. He regards this
amino acid as ‘ anti-cancer and anti-ageing’ and claims that like vitamin C, cysteine protects the
body from damage by oxidants.
When one or more of the essential amino acids are left out of the diet, symptoms similar to those
of vitamin deficiencies may be experienced such as low blood pressure, anaemia, poor muscle
tone, slow heaing of wounds, loss of weight, poor resistance to infections and bloodshot eyes.
Children who do not get the required amounts of amino acids in their daily diet suffer from

stunted growth and permanent damage to the glands. On the other hand, those getting the full
quota of amino acids in their diet will be rewarded with vigor, vitality and long life. The best food
proteins with all the essential amino acids are found in almonds, cheese and eggs.
Amino acids are being increasingly and successfully used in the treatment of several diseases,
such as stomach ulcers, burns, kidney diseases and liver diseases. It has also been observed
that the diseases of old age can be largely prevented if elderly persons obtain the proper food
supplements of amino acids , vitamins and minerals. Amino acids are needed at every stage
from infancy to old age – to repair worn out tissues and to create new ones.

Secrets of Food Combining
The observance of rules of food combining is neither faddish nor eccentric. It is a simple,
scientifically -based system of selecting foods, from among different types, which are
compatible. This facilitates easy and efficient digestion and ensures after-meal comfort.
Digestion is not merely chemical or physical process, but also a physiological one. When food
enters the body, it undergoes several changes before it is broken down into its constituent parts
and assimilated. But no food can be assimilated by the system and used by various organs
unless it has first been digested and then absorbed in the digestive system known as alimentary
canal, while the residue, unfit for absorption is eliminated from the system.
The chemical part of digestion is accomplished by a series of juices and their enzymes. The
juices alternate between alkalies and acids, and their character is determined by the requirement
of the enzymes they contain. These enzymes remain active in suitable media of well defined
acid-alkaline ranges and are destroyed in unsuitable media.
For instance, the salivary amylase ( ptyalin ) or starch-splitting enzyme of the mouth is active
only in an alkaline media and is destroyed by a mild acid. The gastric enzyme, pepsin, which
initiates protein digestion, is active only in the acid medium and is destroyed by alkalies.
A noteworthy feature of the digestive secretions is that the body suits its fluid and enzymes to
the character of the food eaten. There are, however, severe limitations in this process. It is
possible to suit the juices to a particular food, however, complex it may be, but not to a variety of
foods taken together. It is the combining of many varieties and incompatible foods at a meal that
causes 90 per cent of digestive disorders.
There is a marked tendency to gastro-intestinal fermentation with certain combinations of foods.
There is no fermentation and digestion will be much more satisfactory when the foods
comprising a meal are of the same type. This generally means eating similar foods at one time in
order to accomplish the most complete digestion.
The most important rule for combining foods is to avoid mixing protein and carbohydrate
concentrated foods. Although every food contains some protein , those regarded as protein
concentrated foods demand the longest digestive time. They are held in the stomach for some
hours until the gastric juices has performed its task. This may vary from two-and-a-half to six
hours, depending upon the complexity of the protein in the food. If a protein food is mixed with
starch-concentrated or sugar-concentrated foods, it will usually result in fermentation. This may
lead to indigestion and gas in the stomach.
Animal-food proteins, such as meats, fish and cheese, require very high concentration of
hydrochloric acid. Their gastric digestin will be greatly inhibited by carbohydrate fermentation in
the stomach. This will produce more gas and increased discomfort. Eating meat, potatoes, bread
and sweets should, therefore, be especially avoided.
Protein foods are best digested when eaten with fresh vegetable salad. Primary protein foods
such as nuts, seeds and soyabeans also combine very well with acid fruits like oranges,
pineapples, grapefruit and lemons, and fairly well with sub-acid fruits, like grapes, pears, apples,
berries, apricots and peaches. These vegetables and fruits are rich natural sources of vitamin C
which aids protein digestion.
The second important rule for food combining is to avoid mixing proteins and fats at the same
meal. Fat in foods inhibits the secretion of gastric juice through the small wall. Thus when
fat-concentrated foods are taken with protein foods, gastric catabolism will decrease by the
degree of liquid concentration in the stomach. Fat will remain undigested in the stomach until
gastric juices complete their work on the complex protein molecule.
Although all primary protein foods contain high concentration of fat, such lipids will be held in
suspension, awaiting catabolism in the intestine , without impeding gastric action. Free fats like
oil, butter, and milk tend to coat the gastric mucoa, thereby inhibiting its effort to secrete gastric
juice. Fat surrounding fried foods is also regarded as free fat and it interferes with gastric
Secrets of Food Combining

catabolism.
Another important rule for food combining is to avoid mixing carbohydrates and acid fruits in the
same meal. The starch-splitting enzyme ptyalin in the saliva plays an important role as the food
is chewed. It converts the complex starch molecules into simpler sugars. Ptyalin requires a
neutral or slightly alkaline medium for proper functioning and this is the normal condition of the
saliva in the mouth. However, when acid foods are taken, the action of ptyalin is halted. It is,
therefore, necessary to avoid acid fruits in the same meal as sweet fruits or starches. Thus
tomatoes should not be eaten with starches especially potatoes or bread.
Refined sugar products are also acidic, both in the mouth and in the bloodstream. The acidifying
of the saliva by sucrose is one of the main causes of tooth decay. It can also cause severe
damage to the digestion.
Food combining is designed to facilitate easier digestion. The chart in Table I, represents
diagramatically food combining rules in an easy-to-follow method. Accompanying this chart are
the lists of food in their correct classification.
In a nutshell, starches, fats, green vegetables and sugars may be eaten together as they require
either an alkaline or neutral medium for their digestion. Similarly, proteins, green vegetables and
acid fruits may be eaten together as they require an acid or neutral medium for their digestion.
But starches and proteins, fats and proteins and starches and acid fruits should not be eaten
together as a general rule, if the best results are required from the ingestion of the food eaten.
This in brief is the whole basis for successful food combination.
An important point to remember about meals is that the smaller the number of courses they
consist of, the better it will be. They should approximate to a one-course meal as much as
possible. Simple meals in every way are more conducive to health, than more elaborate ones,
no matter how well they may be combined.
A meal consisting of proteins,carbohydrates and fats may remain in the stomach for six to seven
hours before the stomach is emptied. If carbohydrates are eaten without proteins, they remain in
the stomach for a relatively short period. A fruit meal remains in the stomach for even shorter
time. It is advisable to eat these different foods at different meals – a fruit meal, a starch meal
and a protein meal. The ideal practice is a fruit meal for breakfast, a starch meal with salad and
non- starchy vegetables for lunch, and a protein meal with a salad and non-starchy vegetables
for dinner.

Health Promotion the Vegetarian Way
The word ” Vegetarian ” was coined by the Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom in about
- The word does not come from vegetable as is generally assumed : It is a derivation of the
Latin word ‘ vegetari ‘ which means to enliven.
The practice of vegetarianism, however, goes far back in history. Many noted philosophers and
religious teachers urged their followers to avoid a flesh diet. Brahminism, Jainism,
Zoraostrianism and Buddhism acknowledged the sacredness of life and the need to live without
causing suffering ; so did many of the early Christians.
There are various types of vegetarians. ” Vagans „are the strictest vegetarians who eat only
plant foods and exclude all animal by-products such as eggs, milk, cheese, curd, butter, ghee
and even honey. There are ” lacto vegetarians ” who eat plant foods as well as dairy products
and ” lacto-avo vegetarians ” who eat eggs besides plant foods and dairy products. There are
even fish-eating vegetarians. The common factor among them is that they do not eat the flesh of
warm- blooded animals.
Meat seems to have assumed an exaggerated importance nutritionally. It is generally mistakenly
believed that nutritional deficiences , especially of proteins and vitamin B12 and poor health may
result if animal foods are eliminated. Studies however, have indicated to health problems or
deficiency diseases for those on a vegetarian diet.
Of the 22 amino acids -the essential components of proteins – needed by the body for its normal
functioning, only nine need be supplied by the diet as the body synthesies the remaining 13. The
body can use 100 per cent of this protein if all ten amino acids are in ideal proportions. If,
however, one or more of the essential amino acids are present in less than the ideal amount, the
value of the entire protein is reduced in the same proportions. On a quality rating scale of 1 to
100, egg protein is 95, milk is 82, meat and poultry are 67, fish 80, grains are between 50 to 70
and legumes, nuts and seeds are between 40 and 60.
The so-called protein deficiency in a vegetarian diet is in fact more imaginary than real as the
contribution of the protein value of the green vegetables has been ignored and the true protein
requirement is less than that assumed. Green vegetable protein is as high in quality as milk
protein and thus makes a very valuable contribution to the vegetarian’s protein nutrition. The
high quality of protein balances the lower quality of other vegetarian proteins such as nuts and
beans. The recommended daily allowance of 70 value proteins is 44 grams per day for women
and 56 for men. Researchers have now discovered that the actual protein requirement is much
less, being 15 grams per day of 100 value protein or 21.5 grams of 70 value protein or 30 grams
of 50 value protein. A wholesome vegetarian diet can, therefore, easily meet the body’s protein
needs.
Moreover, it is possible to combine two low-value plant proteins to get a protein of higher quality.
Thus , wheat which has a deficiency in the amino-acid lysine but an abundance of sulphur
containing amino-acids can be combined with beans which have the opposite enrichment
combination. Taken together, they complement each other to form a complete protein.
As regards the adequacy of B12 nutrition, laco-avo vegetarians and lacto-vegetarians should not
feel concerned on this score, as the B12 needs can be easily supplied by dairy products and
eggs. A quarter litre of milk or 100 grams of cheese or 1 egg per day will supply the
recommended daily allowance. This vitamin once eaten is stored in the liver. Vagans, however,
do not get this vitamin in their food, yet reliable scientific studies have found no evidence of B12
deficiency diseases. It is therefore, presumed that this vitamin can be synthesised in the body.
Auto-Intoxication
Most diseases of the human body are caused by auto-intoxication or self-poisoning. The flesh of
animals increases the burden of the organs of elimination and overloads the system with animal
waste matter and poisons. Chemical analysis has proved that uric acid and other uremic poisons
Health Promotion the Vegetarian Way
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap16.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:16:33 PM]
contained in the animal body are almost identical to caffeine, there and nicotine, the poisonous
stimulating principles of coffee, tea and tobacco. This explains why meat stimulates the animal
passions and creates a craving for liquor, tobacco and other stronger stimulants. Excessive uric
acid resulting from meat-eating also causes diseases such as rheumatism, Bright’s disease,
kidney stones, gout and gall stones. Meat proteins cause putrefaction twice as rapidly as do
vegetable proteins. The morbid matter of the dead animal body is foreign and uncongenial to the
excretory organs of man. It is much harder for them to eliminate the waste matter of an animal
carcass than that of the human body. Moreover, the formation of ptomains or corpse poisons
begins immediately after the death of the animal and meat and poultry are usually kept in cold
storage for many days and even months before they reach the kitchen.
Another powerful influence tends to poison the flesh of slaughtered animals. As is well known,
emotions of worry, fear and anger actually poison blood and tissues. Imagine the excitable
condition of animals after many days of travel, closely packed in shaking vehicles – hungry,
thirsty, scared enroute to the slaughter -houses. Many die even before the end of their journey.
Others are driven half dead with fear and exhaustion to the slaughter pans, their instinctive fear
of death augmented by the sight and odour of the blood shambles.
Flesh is often a carrier of disease germs. Diseases of many kinds are on the increase in the
animals, making flesh foods more and more unsafe. People are continually eating flesh that may
contain tuberculosis and cancerous germs. Often animals are taken to the market and sold for
food when they are so diseased that their owners do not wish to keep them any longer. And
some of the processes of fattening them to increase their weight and consequently their market
value , produce disease. Shut away from light and pure air, breathing the atmosphere of filthy
stables, perhaps fattening on decaying foods, the entire body now becomes contaminated with
foul matter.
Benefits of Vegetarianism
A vegetarian diet can have many nutritional benefits, if it is rich in fruits and vegetables, and
contains moderate amounts of seeds, nuts, whole grains and legumes. One of the main benefits
of a proper vegetarian diet is its low caloric content in relation to the bulk supplied, which helps
maintain ideal weight.
Another benefit of the vegetarian diet is the much lower intake of fat, if dairy products, seeds and
nuts are eaten sparingly. This accounts for lower serium cholesterol levels found in vegetarians,
which considerably reduces the risk of developing heart diseases and breast and colon cancer.
A third nutritional advantage of the vegetarian diet is its high fibre content. Fibre, being
indigestible, increases the bulk of the faces, keeps them soft and makes them easy to expel.
One study has indicated that lacto-avo vegetarians consume twice as much and vagans four
times as much fibre as non-vegetarians. High fibre intake has been associated with decreased
risks of diseases of the colon, appendicits, cancer of the colon and rectum, hiatus hernia, piles
and varicose veins.
McCarrison, one of the greatest aurhoties on food, has outlined a perfect diet. According to him,
” a perfectly constituted diet is one in which the principal ingredients are milk, milk products, any
whole cereal grain or mixture of cereal grains, green leafy vegetables and fruits. These are the
protective foods. They make good the defects of other constituents of the diet, protect the body
against infection and disease of various kinds, and their use in sufficient quantity ensures
physical efficiency. „
Vegetarianism is thus a system based on scientific principles and has proved adequate for the
best nutrition free from the poisons and bacteria of diseased animals. It is the best diet for man’s
optimum, physical, mental and spiritual development.

NATURE CURE
Importance of Dietary Fibre
Fibre forms the skeletal system of plants. Without it no plant or tree would be able to stand
upright. Dietary fibre, the roughage of yesteryears, consists of those parts of the plant foods that
cannot be digested by enzymes or other digestive secretions in the ailmentary canal.
Dietary fibre plays an important role in the maintenance of health and prevention of diseases.
There is sufficient evidence to suggest that an artificial depletion of fibre as in case of refined
cereals and sugar has over the last 100 years contributed to several degenerative diseases.
Recent studies in this area indicate that sufficient intake of fibre-rich diet may help prevent
obesity, colon cancer, heart disease, gallstones, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis and
diabetic conditions.
Studies have also established that dietary fibre is a collection of elements with a variety of
functions rather than a single substance with single function as was assumed earlier. This new
insight into the true nature of fibre has given the lie to old beliefs that bran is synonymous with
fibre, that all fibre is fibrous or stringy and that all fibre tastes the same.
Physiological effects
Fibre in the diet promotes more frequent bowel movements and softer stools having increased
weight. The softness of stools is largely due to the presence of emulsified gas which is produced
by the bacterial action on the fibre. A high fibre intake results in greater efficiency in the
peristaltic movement of the colon. This helps in relieving the constipation which is the main
cause of several acute and chronic diseases.
Recent studies suggest that increasing the dietary fibre intake may be beneficial for patients with
irritated bowel syndrome who have diarrhoea and rapid colonic transit, as well as to those who
have constipation and slow transit. The high fibre diet, like bran, thus regulates the condition
inside the colon so as to avoid both extremes – constipation and diarrhoea.
Investigations have shown that several potential carcinogens are produced in the faeces. Their
production is related to the acidity of the gut content. The greater the acidity in the bowel
content, the less is the production of these carcinogens. The breaking down of the fibre by
bacteria renders the faeces more acidic. This reduces the amount of possible carcinogenic
substances. Fibre also reduces the possibility of formation of harmful toxins in the large intestine
by reducing the intestinal transit time of the food contents.
Dietary fibre increases the bacteria in the large intestines which require nitrogen for their growth.
This in turn reduces the chances of cancerous changes in cells by reducing the amount of
ammonia in the large bowel. Fibre reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the diet. It also slows
down the rate of absorption of sugars from the food in the digestive system. Certain types of
fibre increase the viscosity of the food content. This increased viscosity indirectly reduces the
need for insulin secreted by the pancreas. Thus a fibre-rich diet can help in diabetes mollitus
Sources of Fibre
The most significant food sources of fibre are unprocessed wheat bran, whole cereals such as
wheat, rice, barley, rye, millets ; legumes such as potato, carrots, beet , turnip and sweet potato ;
fruits like mango and guava and leafy vegetables such as cabbage, lettuce and celery. The
percentage of fibre content per 100 gms. of some foods are : bran 10.5-13.5, whole grain
cereals 1.0-2.0, nuts 2.0-5.0, legumes 1.5-1.7, vegetables 0.5-1.5, fresh fruits 0.5-1.5, and dried
fruits 1.0-3.0. The foods which are completely devoid of fibre are meat, fish , eggs, milk, cheese,
fats and sugars.
Bran, the outer coverings of grains, is one of the richest sources of dietary fibre. And it contains
several types of fibre including cellulose, hermicellulose and pectin. Wheat and corn bran are
highly beneficial in relieving constipation. Experiments show that oat bran can reduce cholesterol
levels substantially. Corn bran is considered more versatile. It relieves constipation and also
Importance of Dietary Fibre
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap17.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:17:03 PM]
lowers LDL cholesterol, which is one of the more harmful kinds. Besides being rich in fibre, bran
has a real food value being rich in time, iron and vitamins and containing a considerable amount
of protein.
Dr.Dennis P. Burkitt, a noted British physician remarks, ” Grain roughages, such as rich bran
and wheat bran, are an essential part of a healthy diet, and a preventive against diseases like
piles, constipation, bowel cancer, varicose veins and even coronary thrombosis. ” Dr. Burkitt
worked for many years in Africa and found after a series of observations that rural Africans who
eat bulk of fibrous foods rarely suffer from any of these diseases.
Legumes have high fibre content. Much of this fibre is water- soluble, which makes legumes
likely agents for lowering cholesterol. Soyabeans, besides this, can also help control glucose
levels.
The types of fibre contained in vegetables and fruits contribute greatly towards good health. The
vegetables with the biggest fibre ratings include sweet corn, carrots, potatoes, parsnips and
peas. And among the high ranking fruits are raspberries, pears, strawberries and guavas.
Types of Fibres
There are six classes of fibre. They are cellulose, hemicellouse, pectin, gums, mucilages and
legnin. They differ in physical properties and chemical interactions in the gut, though all except
legnin are poly-saceharides. The facts known so far about these forms of fibre as a result of
various studies are discussed below.
Cellulose : It is the most prevalent fibre. It is fibrous and softens the stool. It abounds in fruits,
vegetables, bran, whole-meal bread and beans. It is also present in nuts and seeds. It increases
the bulk of intestinal waste and eases it quickly through the colon. Investigations indicate that
these actions may dilute and flush cancer-causing toxins out of the intestinal tract. They also
suggest that cellulose may help level out glucose in the blood and curb weight gain.
Hermicellulose : It is usually present wherever cellulose is and shares some of its traits. Like
cellulose, it helps relieve con- stipation, waters down carcinogens in the bowel and aids in
weight reduction. Both cellulose and hemicellulose undergo some bacterial breakdown in the
large intestine and this produces gas.
Pectin : This form of fibre is highly beneficial in reducing serum cholesterol levels. It, however,
does not have influence on the stool and does nothing to prevent constipation. Researchs are
being conducted to ascertain if pectin can help eliminate bile acids through the intestinal tract
thereby preventing gallstones and colon cancer. It is found in apples, grapes, berries, citrus
fruits, guava, raw papaya and bran.
Gums and Mucilages : They are the sticky fibres found in dried beans, oat bran and oatmeal.
Investigations have shown that they are useful in the dietary control of diabetes and cholesterol.
Legnin : The main function of legnin is to escort bile acid and cholesterol out of the intestines.
There is some evidence that it may prevent the formation of gallstones. It is contained in cereals,
bran, whole meal flour, raspberries, strawberries, cab- bage, spinach, parsley and tomatoes.
The best way to increase fibre content in the diet is to increase the constipation of wholemeal
bread, brown rice, peas beans, lentils, root vegetables and sugar -containing fruits, such as
dates, apples, pears and bananas. The intake of sugar, refined cereals, meat, eggs and dairy
products should be reduced. Candies, pastries, cakes which are rich in both sugar and fat,
should be taken sparingly. White processed bread should be completely eliminated from the
diet.
Requirement :
There are divergent views as to the requirement of dietary fibre for good health. There is no
recommended daily dietary allowance for it and hardly any data about optimum amounts. Some
Africans known for lower incidence of degenerative diseases take about 150 grams of fibre a
day. In Europe and North America, where there is a high incidence of such diseases, people
take 25 grams or less a day. Dr. John H. Cummings, a noted fibre expert in England, considers
Importance of Dietary Fibre
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap17.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:17:03 PM]
that a fibre intake of 30 grams ( about one ounce ) per day is sufficient for good health.
Excessive consumption of fibre, especially bran, should however, be avoided. Due to its content
of crude fibre, bran is relatively harsh and it may irritate the delicate functioning of the digestive
system, especially in the sick and the weak. Excessive use of fibre may also result in loss of
valuable minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium from the body through
excretion due to quick passage of food from the intestine.

Lecithin – An Amazing Youth Element
Lecithin is the most abundant of the phospholipids. It is a fatty food substance, which serves as
a structural material for every cell in the body. It is an essential constituent of the human brain
and nervous system. It forms 30 per cent of the dry weight of the brain and 17 per cent of the
nervous system.
Lecithin is also an important component of the endocrine glands and the muscles of the heart
and kidneys. It makes up 73 per cent of the total liver fat. Nervous, mental or glandular
overactivity can consume lecithin faster than its replacement. This may render a person irritable
and exhausted. It is, therefore, of utmost importance to add lecithin to the diet, if the body’s own
supply decreases as in old age or working under stress.
Rich Sources
Lecithin is derived from the Greek Word, likithos, meaning egg yolk. Egg yolk is a rich source of
lecithin, and also a rich source of cholesterol. This combination makes it possible for the lecithin
to emulsify the cholesterol. Vegetable oils, whole grain cereals, soyabeans, liver and milk are
other rich sources of lecithin. The cells of the body are also capable of synthesizing it as needed,
if several of the B vitamins are present. Since these B vitamins are generally removed when
grains are refined, people who eat exclusively white flour products are lacking them.
Benefits
The action of lecithin on the heart is the most important of all its proved benefits. It achieved its
popularity initially in this area. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that tends to collect in the walls of
the arteries and veins, thus narrowing them. This may eventually lead to a fatal blood clot.
Scientific studies have shown that lecithin has the ability to break up cholesterol into small
particles which can be easily handled by the system. With sufficient intake of lecithin, cholesterol
cannot build up against the walls of the arteries and veins.
Like cholesterol, lecithin is continuously produced in the liver, passes into the intestine with bile
and is absorbed in the blood. It helps in the transportation of fats. It also helps the cells to
remove fats and cholesterol from the blood and to utilise them. It increases the production of bile
acids made from cholesterol, thereby reducing the amount in the blood. It will thus be seen that
cholesterol can cause trouble only if lecithin is lacking in the system.
All atheroscleroses or changs in the arterial walls are characterised by an increased of the blood
cholesterol and a decrease in lecithin. It has been shown that experimental heart disease,
produced by feeding cholesterol, could be prevented merely by giving a small quantity of lecithin.
Atherosclerosis has been produced in various species of animals by increasing the blood
cholesterol or decreasing the lecithin.
In normal health, when a diet high in fat is taken, there is tremendous increase in the production
of lecithin. This helps in changing the fat in the blood from large particles to smaller and smaller
ones. In case of atherosclerosis, however, the lecithin in the blood remains very low regardless
of the quantity of fat entering the blood. The result is that, the fat particles remain too large to be
able to pass through the arterial walls. A more serious situation can develop if there is lack of
lecithin in cells also.
Besides reducing the cholesterol level in the blood, there is mounting scientific evidence to
suggest several other benefits from lecithin. It has been suggested that its intake in sufficient
amounts can help rebuild those cells and organs which need it. Lecithin helps to maintain their
health once they are repaired. It may mean that a deficiency of lecithin in the diet may be one of
the causes of ageing and that its use may be beneficial in retar- ding the ageing process.
Edward R. Hewith in his book, The Years Between 75 and 90 says, ” with older people the fats
remain high in the blood for from five to seven hours and in some cases as long as 20 hours,
thus giving the fats more time to become located in the tissues. If lecithin is given to older people
Lecithin – An Amazing Youth Element
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap18.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:17:13 PM]
before a fatty meal, it has been found that the fats in the blood return to normal in a short time, in
the same way they do in younger people.”
In some cases, the cosmetic effect of lecithin does as much for the mental outlook of persons as
it does for their physical well-being. It has been found to eliminate the yellow or yellow- brown
plaques on the skin or around the eyes caused by fatty deposits. It is a natural tranquilliser which
is beneficial in ner- vous exhaustion. It can produce great alertness in elderly people.
Some studies have indicated that lecithin increases the gamma globulin in the blood. This helps
fight infection. It provides an increased immunity against pneumonia. It has also been found to
lower blood pressure in some people. IN combination with vitamin E, it has proved helpful in
lowering the requirements of insulin in diabetics. It has also proved valuable in the treatment of
certain skin ailments, including acne, eczema and psoriasis.
Lecithin has been suggested as a sexual aid. It was used in Germany 30 years ago as a
restorative of sexual powers, for glandular exhaustion and nervous and mental disorders.
Seminal fluid is rich in lecithin. Because of its loss from the body, its need for men is regarded as
specially great. Its use is also considered valuable in minimising pre-menstrual and menopausal
tension.
Dr. N.A. Ferri, an eminent physician remarks – „Lecithin has a versatile function in life. It is an
extremely important factor in the digestion and oxidation of fats, thus creating more muscle and
glandular activity, resulting in greater body exertion and less fat accumulations. Lecithin is
essential not only for tissue integrity of the nervous and glandular system in all living cells, but
has been regarded as also the most effective generator and regenerator of great physical,
mental and glandular activity. Shattered nerves, depleted brain power, waning activity of vital
glands, find in lecithin, especially in the cellular structure of the nervous system and endocrine
glands a source of dynamic energy.”
The best way to increase lecithin is to eat the same amount of fat as usual, but reduce animal fat
except that from fish. Oil may be used for cooking, seasoning and salad dressing. All
hydrogenated fats such as margarines, cooking fats, hydrogenated peanut butter and processed
cheese should be avoided as also foods prepared with them.

Role of Enzymes in Nutrition
Enzymes are chemical substances produced in the living organism. They are marvellous organic
catalysts which are essential to life as they control all the chemical reactions that take place in a
living system. Enzymes are part of all living cells, including those of plants and animals.
The term enzyme, which literally means in yeast’, was coined following the demonstration of
catalytic properties of yeast and yeast juices. Although enzymes are produced in the living cell,
they are not dependent upon the vital processes of the cell and work outside the cell. Certain
enzymes of yeast, for instance, when expressed from the yeast cells are capable of exerting
their usual effect, that is, the conversion of sugar to alcohol.
A striking feature of enzymes is that while they enter into chemical reaction, they remain intact in
the process. They however, act with maximum efficiency at a certain temperature. Lowering the
temperature below or raising it above this level slows the reaction. A high degree of heat, that is
above 60 o C, permanently destroys their action.
It has been estimated that there are over 20,000 enzymes in the human body. This estimate is
based on the number of bodily processes that seem to require action. However, so far only
about 1,000 enzymes have been identified. But their great role in nutrition and other living
processes has been firmly established. They are protein molecules made up of chains of amino
acids. They play a vital role and work more efficiently than any reagent concocted by chemists.
Thus for instance, a chemist can separate proteins into their component amino acids by boiling
them at 166 o C for over 18 hours in a strong solution of hydrochloric acid, but the enzymes of
the small intestines can do so in less than three hours at body temperature in a neutral medium.
A feature which distinguishes enzymes from inorganic catalysts is that they are absolutely
specific in their actions. This means that a particular enzyme can cause reactions involving only
a particular type of substance or a group of closely related substances. The substance on which
the enzyme acts is known as „substrate”. The specificity of an enzyme is, however, related to
the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex which requires that the appropriate groupings of
both substrate and enzyme should be in correct relative position. The substrate must fit the
enzyme like a key fits its lock.
Enzymes which are used in the cells which make them are called intracellular enzymes.
Enzymes which are produced in cells which secrete them to other parts of the body are known
as extracellular enzymes. Digestive juices are an example of the latter type.
Nomenclature
There are few enzymes whose names have been established by long usage such as ptyalin,
pepsin, trypsin and erepsin. Apart from these, enzymes are usually named by adding the
suffixes to the main part of the name of the substrate upon which they act. Thus amylases act
upon starch (amylum), lac- tase acts upon lactose, lipases act upon lipids, maltase acts upon
maltose and protesses act upon lipids, maltase acts upon maltose and protesses act upon
proteins. There are, however, several enzymes which act upon many substances in different
ways. These enzymes are named by their functions rather than substrates. Thus, an enzyme
which causes deaminations is called a deaminase and oxidising enzyme an oxidase.
Some enzymes work efficiently only if some other specific substance is present in addition to
substrate. This other substance is known as an „activator” or a „conenzyme” . „Acti- vators” are
usually inorganic ions. They increase the activity of a complete enzyme and may take part in the
formation of the enzyme-substrate complex. Many of the conenzymes are related to vitamins.
This explains why vitamin deficiencies profoundly alter metabolism. Thus, for instance, thiamine,
as thiamine pyrophosphate, functions as a conenzyme in at least 14 enzymes systems.
Conenzymes, like enzymes, are being continuously regenerated in the cells.
Enzymes play a decisive role in the digestion of food as they are responsible for the chemical
changes which the food undergoes during digestion. The chemical changes comprise the
Role of Enzymes in Nutrition

breaking up of the large molecules of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into smaller ones or
conversion of complex substances into simple ones which can be absorbed by the intestines.
They also control the numerous reactions by which these simple substances are utilized in the
body for building up new tissues and producing energy. The enzymes themselves are not
broken down or changed in the process. They remain as powerful at the end of a reaction as
they were at the beginning. Moreover, very small amounts can convert large amounts of
material. They are thus true catalysts.
The process of digestion begins in the mouth. The saliva in the moth, besides helping to
masticate the food, carries an enzyme called ptyalin which begins the chemical action of
digestion. It initiates the catabolism (breakdown) of carbohydrates by converting starches into
simple sugars. This explains the need for thorough mastication of starchy food in the mouth. If
this is not done the ptyalin cannot carry out its functions as it is active in an alkaline, neutral or
slightly acid medium and is inactivated by the highly acid gastric juices in the stomach.
Although enzymatic action starts while food is being chewed, digestion moves into high gear
only when the chewed food has passed the esophagus and reached the stomach. While the
physical action of peristalsis churns and kneads solid food into a semi-solid amorphous mixture
called chyme, this mixture undergoes chemical changes initiated by gastric juices secreted by
the walls of the stomach. These juices include mucus for lubricating the stomach, hydrochloric
acid and gastric juice. The enzyme or active principle of the gastric juice is pepsin. This enzyme
in combination with hydrochloric acid starts the breakdown of proteins into absorbable amino
acids called polypeptides. An additional enzyme, rennin, plays an important role in the stomach
of the infant. It curdles milk and allows the pepsin to work upon it. The gastric juice has no effect
upon starches or fats.
When the chyme leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine through the pylorus – the
lower escape valve, it still contains much food which is in the form of raw material not yet ready
for absorption in the body. Digestion is completed inside the small intestine by several juices.
From liver comes a liquid called bile which converts fat globules into a smooth emulsion.
The pancreas contributes various enzymes which continue the breakdown of proteins, help to
divide starch into sugars and work with bile in digesting fats. The small intestine itself secretes
enzymes from its inner wall to complete the reactions. When all the enzymes have done their
work, the food is digested and rendered fit for absorption by the system.The following table
briefly summarises the chemical digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins by various
enzymes :

Enzymes form part of the food we eat. Raw foods contain enzymes in abundance ; cooking,
pasteurising, pickling, smoking and other processings denature enzymes. It is, therefore,
essential to include in our diet, substantial amount of raw foods in the form of fruits, raw salads
and sprouts. Studies have revealed that the body without sufficient raw materials from raw
foods, may tire and produce fewer enzymes year after year. This may lead to wearing out of
body processes and consequent worn-out looks.

NATURE CURE
Raw Juice Therapy
Raw juice therapy is a method of treatment of disease through an exclusive diet of juices of fruits
and vegetables. It is also known as juice fasting. It is the most effective way to restore health
and rejuvenate the body.
During raw juice therapy, the eliminative and cleansing capacity of the organs of elimination,
namely lungs, liver, kidneys and the skin, is greatly increased and masses of accumulated
metabolic waste and toxins are quickly eliminated. It affords a physiological rest to the digestive
and assimilative organs. After the juice fasting or raw juice therapy, the digestion of food and the
utilisation of nutrients is vastly improved.
An exclusive diet of raw juices of fruits and vegetables results in much faster recovery from
diseases and more effective cleansing and regeneration of the tissues than the fasting on pure
water. Dr. Ragnar Berg, a world-renowned authority on nutriton and biochemistry observes :
„During fasting the body burns up and excretes huge amounts of accumulated wastes. We can
help this cleansing process by drinking alkaline juices instead of water while fasting. I have
supervised many fasts and made extensive examinations and tests of fasting patients, and I am
convinced that drinking alkali-forming fruit and vegetable juices, instead of water, during fasting
will increase the healing effect of fasting. Elimination of uric acid and other inorganic acids will be
accelerated. And sugars in juices will strengthen the heart. Juice fasting is, therefore, the best
form of fasting. „
As juices are extracted from plants and fruits, they process definite medicinal properties. Specific
juices are beneficial in specific conditions. Besides specific medicinal virtues, raw fruit and
vegetable juices have an extraordinary revitalising and rejuvenative effect on all the organs,
glands and functions of the body.
Favourable Effects
The favourable effect of raw juices in the treatment of disease is attributed to the following facts :
Raw juices of fruits and vegetables are extremely rich in vitamins, minerals, trace
elements, enzymes and natural sugars. They exercise beneficial effect in normalising all
the body functions. They supply needed elements for the body’s own healing activity and
cell regeneration, thereby speeding the recovery.
1.
The juices extracted from raw fruits and vegetables require no digestion and almost all
their vital nutrients are assimilated directly in the bloodstream.
2.
Raw juices are extremely rich in alkaline elements. This is highly beneficial in normalising
acid-alkaline balance in the blood and tissues as there is over-acidity in most conditions
of ill-health.
3.
Generous amounts of easily assimilable organic minerals in raw juices especially calcium,
potassium and silicon help in restoring biochemical and mineral balance in the tissues
and cells, thereby preventing premature ageing of cells and disease.
4.
Raw juices contain certain natural medicines, vegetal hormones and antibiotics. For
instance, string beans are said to contain insulin-like substance. Certain hormones
needed by the pancreas to produce insulin are present in cucumber and onion juices.
Fresh juices of garlic , onions, radish and tomatoes contain antibiotic substances.
5.
Precautions
Certain precautions are, however, necessary in adopting an exclusive diet of raw juices. Firstly,
all juices should be made fresh immediately before drinking. Canned and frozen juices should
not be used. It will be advisable that one should have one’s own juicer for extracting fresh juices.
Secondly, only fresh ripe fruits and vegetables, preferably organically grown, should be used for
Raw Juice Therapy
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap20.htm (1 of 4) [5/19/1999 9:17:31 PM]
extraction of juices. Thirdly, only as much juice as needed for immediate consumption should be
extracted. Raw juices oxidise rapidly and lose their medicinal value in storage, even under
refrigeration. Fourthly, the quality of the juices has a distinct bearing on the results obtained. In
case of incomplete extraction of juices, their effective power is proportionately reduced due to
the absence of the vitamins and enzymes which are left behind in fibre and the pulp. Finally, if
juices are too sweat they should be diluted in water on 50 : 50 basis or mixed with other less
sweet juices. This is especially important in some specific conditions such as diabetes,
hypoglycemia, arthritis and high blood pressure.
Fruit and vegetable juices may be divided into six main types. These are : (i) Juices from sweet
fruits such as prunes and grapes. (ii) Juices from sub-acid fruits like apple, plum, pear, peach,
apricot and cherry, (iii) Juices from acid fruits like orange, lemon, grapefruit, strawberry and
pineapple. (iv) Juices from vegetable fruits, namely, tomato and cucumber. (v) Juices from green
leafy vegetables like cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach, parsley and watercress. (vi) Juices from
root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato and radish.
Generally speaking, fruit juices stir up toxins and acids in the body, thereby stimulating the
eliminative processes. Vegetable juices, on the other hand, soothe the jaded nerves and work in
a much milder manner. They carry away toxic matter in a gentle way. Owing to their differing
actions fruit and vegetable juices should not be used at the same time or mixed together.
It is desirable to use juices individually. In any case not more than three juices should be used in
any one mixture. The following broad rules apply when using mixtures of juices :
Juices from sweet fruits may be combined with juices of sub-acid fruits, but not with those
of acid fruits, vegetable fruits or vegetables.
1.
Juices from sub-acid fruits may be combined with juices of sweet fruits, or acid fruits, but
not with other juices.
2.
Juices from acid fruits may be combined with those of sub-acid fruits or vegetable fruits,
but not with other juices.
3.
Juices from vegetable fruits may be combined with those of acid fruits or of green leafy
vegetables, but not with other juices.
4.
Juices from green leafy vegetables may be combined with those of vegetable fruits or of
the root vegetable, but not with other juices.
5.
Juices from root vegetables may be combined with those of green leafy vegetables, but
not with other juices.
A proper selection of juices in treating a particular ailment is very essential. Thus, for
instance, juices of carrot, cucumber, cabbage and other vegetables are very valuable in
asthma, arthritis and skin disease, but juices of orange and mosambi aggravate their
symptoms by increasing the amount of mucus.
6.

When on a raw juice therapy, the prescribed juice should be drunk every three hours. One can
thus take juices five to six times a day. A glass of water mixed with lemon juice and 20 to 30
grams of honey may be taken first thing in the morning on arising. Thereafter, the prescribed
juice may be taken at three-hourly intervals. The quantity of juice on each occasion may be 250
ml on the first day. This quantity may be increased by 50 ml each succeeding day till one takes
600 ml on each occasion. The juice diet can be continued for 30 to 40 days without any
ill-effects. The patient should take adequate rest during the raw juice therapy.
Raw juices act as a cleansing agent and start eliminating toxins and morbid matter from the
system immediately. This often results in symptoms such as pain in the abdomen, diarrhoea,
loss of weight, headache, fever, weakness, sleeplessness and bad breath. These reactions,
which are part of the cleansing process, should not be suppressed by the use of drugs. They will
cease when the body is able to expel all toxins.
After the raw juice therapy, the return to normal balanced diet should be gradual, and in stages.
In the beginning, two juice meals may be replaced by milk and fruits. Then gradually juice meals
may be substituted by a balanced-diet.

NATURE CURE
Sprouts for Optimum Nutrition
Sprouts are considered as wonder foods. They rank as the freshest and most nutritious of all
vegetables available to the human diet. By a process of natural transmutation, sprouted food
acquires vastly improved digestibility and nutritional qualities when compared to non-sprouted
embryo from which it derives.
Sprouted foods have been part of the diet of many ancient races for thousands of years. Even to
this day, the Chinese retain their fame for delicious mung beansprouts`. Sprouts provide all the
essential vitamins and minerals. They should form a vital component of our diet. Sprouting
requires no constant care but only an occasional sprinkling of water.
All edible grains, seeds and legumes can be sprouted. Generally the following are used for
sprouting :
i. Grains : Wheat, maize, ragi, bajra and barley.
Seeds : Alfalfa seeds, radish seeds, fenugreek seeds, carrot seeds, coriander seeds,
pumpkin seeds and muskmelon seeds.
ii.
iii. Legumes : Mung, Bengal gram, groundnut and peas.
Alfalfa, as the name in Arabic signifies, is the king of all sprouts. Grown as a plant, its roots are
known to burrow as much as 12 meters into the subsoil to bring up valuable trace minerals of
which manganese is especially important to health and digestion ; it is a vital component of
human insulin. Apart from minerals, alfalfa is also a rich source of vitamins A,B,C,E and K and
amino acids. Sesame seeds are another good source of nourishment. They contain all the
essential amino acids in their 20 per cent protein content and higher concentration of calcium
than does milk. They are high in letichin, unsaturated fats, vitamin E and vitamin B complex,
besides other live nutrients.
How to Sprout
As a first step, a good variety of seeds should be used for sprouting. It should be ensured that
the seeds, legumes or grains are of the sproutable type. Soyabeans do not sprout well as they
often become sour. Wheat has to be grown in soil. It is advisable to use seeds which are not
chemically treated as this slows down the germination rate. The seeds should be washed
thoroughly and then soaked overnight in a jar of pure water. The jar should be covered with
cheesecloth or wire screening. The duration of soaking will depend upon the size of the seed.
Small seeds are soaked for five hours, medium size for eight hours and beans and grains for 10
to 12 hours.
On the following morning, the seeds should be rinsed and the water drained off. Not more than
one-fourth of the jar should be filled with the seeds for sprouting. Soaking makes the seeds,
grains or legumes fatty, pulpy and full of water. It should, therefore, be ensured that the jar has
enough room for the seeds to expand during sprouting. They will expand about eight times their
original size. The jar should be kept at a place which is exposed neither to chill nor hot winds. It
should also be ensured that the mouth of the jar is not completely covered so as to allow air in.
The seeds should be rinsed and water drained off three times every day till they are ready to eat.
The seeds will germinate and become sprouts in two or three days from commencement of
soaking, depending on temperature and humidity. Care should always be taken to ensure that
sprouts do not lie in water. They should be kept well drained to prevent souring. Sprouts are at
their optimum level of flavour and tenderness when tiny green leaves appear at the tips. Their
nutritional value is also optimum. To retain their freshness and nutritional value, they should be
placed in a refrigerator, if they cannot be consumed immediately after reaching suitable maturity.
Sprouts can be kept for several days in this way.
Sprouts for Optimum Nutrition
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap21.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:17:40 PM]
Some caution is necessary in sprouting. Soaking for a longer period than required makes the
seeds rot or ferment. The main factors for germination are water, air, heat and darkness. There
may be poor germination or no germination at all if any of these factors are not present such as
insufficient water, or too much water, lack of sufficient heat, lack of fresh air, either too cold or
too hot surroundings and too much light.
Benefits
There is an amazing increase in nutrients in sprouted foods when compared to their dried
embryo. In the process of sprouting, the vitamins, minerals and protein increase substantially
with corresponding decrease in calories and carbohydrate content. These comparisons are
based on an equivalent water content in the foods measured. Analysis of dried seeds, grains
and legumes shows a very low water content. But this increases upto tenfold when the same
food is converted into sprouts. For accurate comparison each must be brought to a common
denomination of equal water content to assess the exact change brought in nutritional value.
Sprouted mung beans, for instance, have a 8.3 increase of water content over dried beans.
Hence the nutritional value of sprouted and dried mung beans can be compared by multiplying
the analysed nutrients of sprouted mung beans by the factor of 8.3. Based on this criterion, the
changes found in sprouted mung beans when compared with the figures for the beans in the
dried state are as follows :
Energy content – calories Decrease 15 per cent.
Total carbohydrate content Decrease 15 per cent
Protein availability Increase 30 per cent
Calcium content Increase 34 per cent
Potassium content Increase 80 per cent
Sodium content Increase 690 per cent
Iron content Increase 40 per cent
Phosphorous content Increase 56 per cent
Vitamin A content Increase 285 per cent
Thiamine or Vitamin B1 content Increase 208 per cent
Riboflavin or Vitamin B2 content Increase 515 per cent
Niacin or Vitamin B3 content Increase 256 per cent
Ascorbic acid or Vitamin C content An infinite increase
The increase in protein availability is of great significance. It is a valuable indicator of the
enhanced nutritional value of a food when sprouted. The simultaneous reduction in carbohydrate
content indicates that many carbohydrate molecules are broken down during sprouting to allow
an absorption of atmospheric nitrogen and reforming into amino-acids. The resultant protein is
the most easily digestible of all proteins available in foods.
The remarkable increase in sodium content supports the view that sprouted foods offer
nutritional qualities. Sodium is essential to the digestive process within the gastro-intestinal tract
and also to the elimination of carbon dioxide. Together with the remarkable increase in vitamins,
sodium materially contributes to the easy digestibility of sprouts.
Dried seeds, grains and legumes do not contain discernible traces of ascorbic acid, yet when
sprouted, they reveal quite significant quantities which are important in the body’s ability to
metabolise proteins. The infinite increase in ascorbic acid derives from their absorption of
atmospheric elements during growth.
Sprouts have several other benefits. They supply food in predigested form, that is, the food
which has already been acted upon by the enzymes and made to digest easily. During
sprouting, much of the starch is broken down into simple sugars such as glucose and sucrose by
the action of the enzyme ‘amylase’. Proteins are converted into amino acids and amides. Fats
and oils are converted into more simple fatty acids by the action of the enzyme lipase.
During sprouting, the beans lose their objectionable gas producing quality. Research has shown
that oligosaccharides are responsible for gas formation. For maintenance of health, some
amount of gas production is necessary but it should be within safe limits. As the process of
germination ends and sprouting begins, the percentage of oligosaccharides is reduced by 90.
Sprouts contain a lot of fibre and water and, therefore, are helpful in overcoming constipation.
Sprouts are an extremely inexpensive method of obtaining a concentration of vitamins, minerals
Sprouts for Optimum Nutrition
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap21.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:17:40 PM]
and enzymes. They have in them all the constituent nutrients of fruits and vegetables and are
‘live’ foods. Eating sprouts is the safest and best way of getting the advantage of both fruits and
vegetables without contamination and harmful insecticides.
It should, however, be ensured that seeds and dried beans are purchased from a store where
they are fresh, unsprayed and packaged as food. Seeds that are packaged for planting purposes
may contain mercury compounds or other toxic chemicals.

NATURE CURE
Acne
Acne is perhaps the most common chronic skin disease. It is an inflammatory condition of the
sebaceous ( that is fat or grease) glands and hair follicles usually found on the face, the neck,
chest and shoulders. Nearly eight out of ten young people between the ages of 12 and 24 suffer
from some degree of acne. It is closely related to the disturbance in the hormones experienced
at puberty.
The majority of patients recover between the ages 20 and 30 years. But it is still common in men
over 30 years. In women, it rarely lasts beyond the early thirties and is normally worse before
each menstrual period. The diseases causes a great deal of embarrassment at an age when
people tend to be sensitive about personal appearance.
The skin, covering the entire body, is a marvellous and intricate mechanism. It serves three main
purposes ; namely, protection of the inner organism, regulation of body temperature and
elimination of cell waste and systemic refuse. The skin is directly connected with and intimately
bound up with the working of the whole system. All skin diseases, including acne, are the
outcome of malfunctioning of the body as a whole.
Symptoms
Acne is characterized by the presence of comedones or blackheads, pimples, small superficial
sebaceous cysts and scars. There are over half a dozen forms of acne. All of them are
concerned with sebaceous glands or the glands connected with hair follicles. The most common
form of acne is blackheads. The areas chiefly affected are the forehead, temples, cheeks, and
chin, the chest and back. In rare cases, almost the entire body may be covered with black heads
with extensive scarring.
Causes
All forms of acne have their origin in wrong feeding habits, such as irregular hours of eating,
improper food, excess of starches and sugar, excess of fatty foods. Chronic constipation is
another major cause of acne. If the bowels do not move properly, waste matter is not eliminated
as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra
efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin disease. Yet
another important cause of acne is a devitalised condition of the skin resulting from unhygienic
living habits. Other causes of the disorder are excessive use of tea, coffee, alcohol or tobacco,
strenuous studies, masturbation and sedentary habits which lead to indigestion and general
debility.
Treatment
The treatment of acne by the administration of salve or ointment does not serve any purpose.
They only suppress the action of the sebaceous glands temporarily. In nature cure, the main
emphasis is on diet and certain water applications. To begin with the patient should resort to all
-fruit diet for about a week. IN this regimen, there should be three meals a day, consisting of
fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grape-fruit, pineapple and peaches. Citrus fruits,
bananas, dried, stewed or tinned fruits should not be taken. Unsweetened lemon or plain water,
either hot or cold, should be drunk and nothing else. During this period, warm -water enema
should be taken daily to cleanse the bowels and all other measures adopted to eradicate
constipation.
After a week of all fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet. Emphasis
should be on raw foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts and
whole grain cereals, especially millet and brown rice. Further shorter periods on the all-fruits for
three days, or so may be necessary at a monthly interval till the condition of the skin improves.
Strict attention to diet is essential for recovery. Starchy, protein and fatty foods, should be
Acne
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap22.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:17:56 PM]
restricted. Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, refined and processed foods
should all be avoided, as also soft drinks, candies, ice cream and products made with sugar and
white flour.
Two vitamins, namely, niacin and vitamin A have been used successfully to treat acne. The
vitamin therapy which may comprise a niacin, 100 mg. three times daily and vitamin A in large
doses upto 1,50,000 units per day should not exceed one month. Vitamin E is also vitally
important to prevent scarring from acne and in removing old scars.
Another effective remedy in the realm of nutrition that seems to offer new promise of help for
acne is zinc. It has shown dramatic results in some cases. Zinc should be taken in therapeutic
doses of 50 mg. three times a day. After noticeable improvement it can be gradually reduced.
Local Treatment
As regards local treatment, hot fomentation should be applied to open up the pores and squeeze
the waste matter. Then rinse with cold water. Sun and air baths by exposing the whole body to
sun and air are highly beneficial. The healing packs made of grated cucumber, oatmeal cooked
in milk, and cooked, creamed carrots used externally, have been found to be effective.
The orange peel is valuable in the treatment of acne. The peel, pounded well with water on a
piece of stone, should be applied to the affected areas. The lemon has also proved beneficial in
removing pimples and acne . It should be applied regularly.
A teaspoonful of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder, is another effective
home remedy for pimples and blackheads. The mixture should be applied to the face after
thoroughly washing it, every night before retiring.
The juice of raw potatoes has also proved very valuable in clearing skin blemishes. This
cleansing results from high content of potassium sulphur, phosphorous and chlorine in the
potato. These elements are, however, of value only when the potato is raw as in this state they
are composed of live organic atoms.
A hot Epsom-salt bath twice a week will be highly beneficial in all cases of acne. This bath is
prepared by adding one and a half kg. of Epsom -salt to 50 litres of water having a temperature
of about 100 o F. The patient should remain in the bath from 25 to 35minutes till he perspires
freely. After the bath the patient should cool off gradually.

NATURE CURE
Alcoholism
Alcoholism refers to addiction to alcohol. It is a chronic disorder, in which a person is unable to
refrain from frequent and excess consumption of alcohol for physical or psychological reasons.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed alcoholism as one of the three most deadly
killer diseases of the 20th century.
Alcoholism is also one of the serious social problems. It often brings poverty and certain amount
of crime and results in material unhappiness and broken homes. It also leads to numerous traffic
accidents.
Alcohol is not a product found in nature. It results from decomposition and as such belongs to a
family of poisons. Ethyl alcohol, the main intoxicating ingredient in wine, beer and distilled liquor
is a toxic drug which depresses the brain and nervous system. Alcohol cannot be called a food
for it enters the alimentary canal and is not changed or digested in any way. It is quickly
absorbed in the bloodstream and then travels to every part of the body, adversely affecting vital
organs like brain and liver.
Symptoms
According to the WHO, „Alcoholics are those excessive drinkers whose dependence on alcohol
has attained such a degree that it shows a noticeable mental disturbance or interference with
their bodily or mental health, their interpersonal relations and their smooth social and economic
functions, or who show the prodormal signs of such development. „
Alcoholics have a puffy face with bloodshot eyes, a hoarse voice and a rapid pulse. They are
suspicious, irritable and over- emotional. Vomiting, delirium, impaired judgement and disturbed
sleep are some of the other symptoms.
The chronic alcoholic, who would rather drink than eat, fails to get enough vitamins. The few
vitamins acquired by him are drained out of his system in the process of burning the alcohol in
his body. Vitamin deficiency can lead to delirium tremors, convulsions, nutritious, disorders of
the eyes and impaired memory. Excessive drinking often causes premature greying of hair due
to vitamin deficiency. Chronic alcoholism results in a depletion of minerals in the body,
particularly magnesium. Its lack produces symptoms like tremor of the hands, feet and tongue,
convulsions ,mental clouding and perspiration.
Excessive drinking imposes a strain on the liver. It gradually destroys its functions and often
causes cirrhosis of the liver. It leads to disorders of the stomach and bowels. It can cause brain
damage as brain cells are often affected by it. Alcohol also affects the heart which becomes
weak and flabby.
Causes
Alcoholism results from intemperate drinking. Sometimes it sneaks upon a person comparatively
rapidly; other times, years may pass before a person becomes a full-fledged alcoholic. A
weak-minded person consoles himself by taking to drugs or alcohol. In doing so he simply tries
to escape the situation rather than face it boldly.
A person generally takes to drinking as a means to enliven social life, to overcome anxiety or to
induce sleep. He becomes an alcoholic if he gets dependent on alcohol physically and
psychologically. He resorts to heavy drinking because of his maladaptive way of dealing with
life’s stresses.
Treatment
The chronic alcoholic first of all must make a firm resolve to stop drinking. He should abstain
from alcohol all at once for the habit cannot be got rid of in gradual stages.
The most effective way to treat alcoholism is to build the body’s nutritional integrity soaps to
prevent craving for stimulants like drinks. The patients should be put on a cleansing juice fast for
Alcoholism
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap23.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:18:04 PM]
at least ten days in the beginning. During this period, he should have juice of an orange every
two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The juice may be diluted with warm water, if desired. If orange
juice does not agree, vegetable juices may be taken. Each day while fasting, bowels should be
cleansed of effete and poisonous matter thrown off by the self-cleansing process set up by the
body. This can be achieved by warm water enema.
During the juice fast, the patient will usually feel no craving for alcohol. This will give a good 10
day start towards breaking the drinking habit and would help remove not only the physical
dependence but also the psychological factors. After the initial fast on juices, the optimum diet of
vital nutrients is essential. Such a diet should consist of whole grains, cereals, nuts, seeds and
sprouts, fresh fruits and vegetables.
It is advisable that in the beginning of the treatment, the patient is given a suitable substitute to
relieve the craving if and when such a craving occurs. The best substitute drink for alcohol is a
glass of fresh fruit juice, sweetened with honey, if desired. In the alternative, wholesome candy
may be taken. The patient should always have easily available juices, candy, or other snacks to
be taken between meals if he feels a craving for a stimulant.
All refined foods such as sugar, white rice, macaroni products and white flour and meat should
be avoided. The patient should eat several small meals a day in preference to two or three large
ones and avoid strong condiments such as pepper, mustard, and chilli. He should not smoke as
this will only increase his desire for alcohol.
Apples are considered valuable in the treatment of alcoholism as their use removes intoxication
and reduces the craving for wine and other intoxicating liquors. The raw celery juice is also
considered helpful. It has a sobering effect and is an antidote to alcohol.
In addition to proper nutrition, plenty of rest and outdoor exercises are necessary. The healthy
condition of the appetite centre, which controls the craving for alcohol is improved by exercise.
Yogic asans for general health such as padmasan, vajrasan, vakrasan, paschimotanasan,
yogamudra, bhuajangasan, halasan and shalabhasana and yogic kriyas like jalneti, kunjal and
simple Pranayamas like kapalbhati , anuloma-viloma, shitali and sitkari will be beneficial.
Copious drinking of water, hot fomentations on the stomach and abdomen with a wet girdle pack
between applications are also effective water treatment for alcoholism.
And finally, it will be advisable to follow the ten commandments to prevent alcoholism, offered by
psychiatrist Dr. William B. Terhune. These are :
never drink when you ‘ need one’;
sip slowly ;
space your drinks, taking a second drink 30 minutes after
the first and a third an hour after the second ;
dilute your alcohol;
keep an accurate and truthful record of the amount and
number of drinks you take ;
never conceal the amount of alcohol you drink ;
do not drink on an empty stomach ;
stop drinking on ‘signal ‘ ( signals are lunch, dinner, fatigue, sex stimulation, boredom, frustration
and bedtime);
make it a rule never to take a drink to escape discomfort – either physical or mental ; and
never, never take a drink in the morning thinking it will cure a hangover.

NATURE CURE
Allergies
An ‘allergy’ can be described as sensitiveness of the body to a substance which does not
normally affect other persons. There are innumerable substances in the environment which can
cause mild to violent reactions in many people. These reactions range from true allergies due to
intolerance of certain foods and substances, to those resulting from pollution.
Allergic reactions may occur within a few minutes of the patient coming in contact with the
allergen, or they may be delayed for several hours or even several days. Almost any part of the
body can be affected by allergies. The portion of the body which is affected is called a shock
organ. Common sites are the nose and eyes, the skin, chest, intestines and ears.
Allergic reactions are caused by a wide range of substances and conditions. These include
pollen, dust, cosmetics and animal hair ; poisonous plants, serums, vaccines and drugs ;
physical agents such as heat, cold and sunlight ; as well as a variety of foods. Among the
numerous allergens in the food department, the more common ones are oranges, milk, eggs,
wheat, fish, chocolates, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes and strawberries.
Symptoms
The symptoms of allergy are as varied as the substances causing the reaction. These include
recurring headache, migraine, dizziness, irritability, nervousness, depression, neuralgia,
sneezing, conjunctivitis, diabetes, eczema, heart-burn, hay fever, indigestion, constipation,
diarrhoea, gastric ulcer, asthma, overweight, high blood pressure, chest pain, heart attacks, a
stuffy or runny nose, shortness of breath, swelling of the face and eyes, etc. The same food can
cause different symptoms in different people. Many allergies are multiple and may be caused by
multiple allergens.
Causes
Allergy is an indication of lowered resistance and internal disharmony caused by dietetic errors
and faulty style of living. It is believed that the major cause of allergy is feeding babies such
foods as cereals, meat, corns, whole milk, etc. before they reach the age of 10 to 12 months.
These foods cause allergic reactions as babies lack the proper enzymes needed for their
digestion before that age. Babies should be breast-fed for at least eight months as this is
nature’s way of providing all the required nutrients during this period.
Another important cause of allergy is today’s processed foods loaded with numerous chemical
additives, many of which cause powerful reactions. An allergic condition can result from diet
imbalances. There can be a breakdown in the body’s ability to handle sugar due to excessive
intake of refined sugar and consequent blood sugar irregularities, or mineral and vitamin
imbalances due to defective dietary patterns.
Emotional and psychological stress can also lead to allergies. According to Dr. Hans Salye, the
world’s premier researcher on stress, allergic symptoms are often nothing more than body’s
reaction to stress. A person can through chronic stress, become sensitive to common foods or
commonplace substances like petrol fumes.
Treatment
There are various ways to tackle many of the allergic disturbances. First, the sources must be
identified. This is a difficult but not impossible task. Second, once the sources are discovered,
they should be avoided. Third, and most important, general health and resistance should be built
up to establish immunity to them.
There are two methods to detect disturbing foods. The first method is the trial -and- error
elimination diet. This automatically eliminates many hazards and foods. Keep to organic,
untreated, unprocessed foods as far as possible and you will eliminate another set of hazards
such as pesticides, various sprays and other poisons.
Allergies
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap24.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:18:14 PM]
After having eliminated as many disturbing factors as possible, a self-search should be carried
out to ascertain any suspicious symptoms from foods. It is advisable to try an eliminary diet,
excluding suspected foods for two weeks until the cause is detected. Occasionally, by changing
the brand or the type, you can find a food substitute that does not upset you.
Another way to detect the cause of allergy is by Dr. Coca’s „pulse test.” The method is as follows
: Check your pulse before a meal. Then limiting that meal to one food only, wit for half an hour
after eating and take your pulse again. A slight increase is considered normal, even up to 16
extra beats. If your pulse does not rise above 84, you may be allergy-free. But if your pulse rises
beyond that point, and remains high an hour after the meal, you have found your food allergy.
The best way, however, to prevent or overcome allergies is to strengthen the overall physical
resistance so as not to fall an easy prey to every allergen that comes along. To start with, the
patient should fast on fresh fruit juices for four or five days. Repeated short juice fasts are likely
to result in better tolerance to previous allergies. After the fruit juice fast, the patient can take a
mono diet of vegetables or fruits such as carrots, grapes or apples, for one week. After that one
more food is added to the mono diet. A week later the third food is added and so on. After four
weeks, the protein foods can be introduced, one at a time. In case an allergic reaction to a newly
introduced food is noticed, it should be discontinued and a new food tried. In this way all real
allergens can be eventually eliminated from the diet.
The body requires a large alkaline reserve for its daily activity. The many emergencies of acid
formation through the day from wrong foods, fatigue, mental stress and lack of sleep can be met
by the competency of the alkaline reserves. Boosting the normal body reserve of alkalines by
liberal use of alkaline- forming foods is essential for those suffering from allergies.
The foods which should be excluded from the diet are tea, coffee, chocolate, cola drinks,
alcohol, sugar, sweets and foods containing sugar, refined cereals, meats, fish, chicken,
tobacco, milk, cheese, butter, smoked, salted, pickled foods and foods containing any chemical
additives, preservatives and flavouring. These foods cause either toxic accumulations or
over-stimulation of adrenal glands or strain on pancreatic enzymes production or disturb the
blood sugar balance.
For preventive purposes, the entire C complex vitamins – known as the bioflavonoids, are
recommended. They gradually strengthen cell permeability to help immunise the body from
various allergies, especially hay fever. Often the addition B5 , or pantothenic acid brings great
relief to allergy sufferers. Multiple allergies may result from poor adrenal gland functioning. In
such cases liberal amounts of pantothenic acids help cure them, although the recovery will take
several weeks. An adequate intake of vitamin E is also beneficial as this vitamin possesses
effective anti-allergic properties, as some studies have shown.
An exciting remedy for allergy has been discovered by an Indian physician, Dr. Hement Pathak.
He found that the use of five drops of castor oil in a little juice or water taken on an empty
stomach in the morning, is highly beneficial for allergies in the intestinal tract, skin and nasal
passages. Dr. Pathak, who is an expert in Chinese medicine, has reported numerous cases of
allergic protection by this method. For allergic conditions in which an element of stress is
present, it is essential to employ such methods as relaxation, exercise, meditation and mind
control. These methods will reduce or remove stress and thereby contribute towards the
treatment of allergies. Yogic asanas like yogamudra ardhmatsyendrasana, sarvangasana,
shavasana and anuloma-viloma , pranayama are also beneficial.

NATURE CURE
Anaemia
Anaemia, which means ” lacking in blood „, is among the most common diseases affecting
human beings. It denotes a shortage of rich red blood cells and colouring matter and usually
results from consumption of refined foods.
The blood flowing in our veins and arteries is really living tissue. Nearly half of it consists of red
blood cells which carry oxygen to the tissues. Approximately one trillion ( 10,000 million ) new
blood cells are formed in the bone marrow daily. The raw materials required in the production of
these cells are iron, proteins, and vitamins, especially folic acid and B12.
The red colouring matter, called haemoglobin is a protein which is composed of an organic
iron-compound called „heme”. The globin is a sulphur -bearing protein which makes up 96 per
cent of the molecule. The formation of haemoglobin thus depends on adequate dietary supplies
of iron and protein. Red cells have a lifespan of approximately 120 days and are destroyed and
replaced daily. Each person should have 100 per cent haemoglobin or about 15 grams to 100 cc
of blood, and a blood count of five million red cells per millimeter. A drop in the hemoglobin
content results in anaemia and a consequent decreased ability of the blood to carry oxygen to
the tissues.
Symptoms
A haggard look, with lines of strain, premature wrinkles, grayish skin, and dull and tired looking
eyes are the main symptoms of anaemia. Other symptoms include poor memory, weakness,
dizziness, fatigue, lack of energy, shortness of breath on exertion, slow healing of wounds,
headaches, mental depression, pale fingers, lips and ear lobes. The patient usually complaints
of weakness, easy fatigue, lack of energy and dizziness.
Causes
There are two principal causes of anaemia. It can result from reduced or low formation of red
blood cells either due to defects in the bone marrow or an inadequate intake of iron vitamins,
and protein. Heavy loss of blood due to injury, bleeding piles and heavy menstruation may also
cause anaemia. A lack of digestive acid of hydrochloric acid needed for digestion of iron and
proteins may also result in anaemia. Emotional strain, anxiety and worry usually interfere with
the manufacture of hydrochloric acid in the body. Anaemia can also be caused by a variety of
drugs which destroy vitamin E or by others which inactivate the nutrients needed in building
blood cells. Chronic diseases such as tuberculosis, when accompanied by hemorrhage, may
also result in anaemia.
Other little-known causes of anaemia are intestinal parasites or worms. Hookworm, pinworms,
round worms and tapeworms feed on the blood supply as well as on the vitamins. Twenty-five
hookworms can consume fifteen grams of blood every 24 hours; a tapeworm can cause acute
shortage of vitamin B12. Symptoms of intestinal worms are itching at the rectum, restlessness at
night with bad dreams, diarrhoea, foul breath, dark circles under the eyes and a constant desire
for food. Garlic can help get rid of some types of intestinal parasites. Fresh papaya and grated
raw carrot are also effective. After successful treatment for intestinal worms, perfect cleanliness
should be observed to prevent recurrence.
The Cure
Anaemia is much more easily prevented than corrected. A liberal intake of iron in the formative
years can go a long way in preventing iron-deficiency anaemia.
Diet is of the utmost importance in the treatment of anaemia. Almost every nutrient is needed for
the production of red blood cells, haemoglobin and the enzymes, required for their synthesis.
Refined food like white bread, polished rice, sugar, and desserts rope the body of the much
-needed iron. Iron should always be taken in its natural organic form as the use of inorganic can
Anaemia

prove hazardous, destroying the protective vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids, causing serious
liver damage and even miscarriage and delayed or premature births. The common foods rich in
natural organic iron are wheat and wheat grain cereals, brown rice and rice polishings, green
leafy vegetables, cabbage, carrot, celery, beets, tomatoes, spinach ; fruits like apples,
berries,cherries, grapes, raisins, figs, dates, peaches and eggs. It has been proved that a
generous intake of iron alone will not help in the regeneration of haemoglobin. The supplies of
protein, too, should be adequate. The diet should, therefore, be adequate in proteins of high
biological value such as those found in milk, cheese and egg. Copper is also essential for the
utilisation of iron in the building of haemoglobin.
Vitamin B12 is a must for preventing or curing anaemia. This vitamin is usually found in animal
protein and especially in organic meats like kidney and liver. A heavy meat diet is often
associated with a high haemoglobin and high red cell count, but it has its disadvantages. One
cause of anaemia is intestinal putrefaction, which is primarily brought on by a high meat diet.
Moreover, all meats are becoming increasingly dangerous due to widespread diseases in the
animal kingdom. There are, however, other equally good alternative sources of vitamin B12 such
as dairy products , like milk, eggs and cheese, peanuts. Wheat germ and soyabeans also
contain some B12. Vegetarians should include sizeable amounts of milk, milk products and eggs
in their diet.
For prevention of anaemia, it is essential to take the entire B-complex range which includes B12,
as well as the natural foods mentioned above. Eating lacto-avo products, which are complete
proteins, and which also contain vitamin B12 is good insurance against the disease. Brewer’s
yeast is a good source of complete protein.
A liberal intake of ascorbic acid is necessary to facilitate absorption of iron. At least two helpings
of citrus fruits and other ascorbic acid rich foods should be taken daily.
Mention must be made of beets which are extremely important in curing anaemia. Beet juice
contains potassium, phosphorous, calcium, sulphur, iodine, iron, copper, carbohydrates, protein,
fat, vitamins, B1, B2, niacin B6, C and vitamin P. With its high iron content, beet juice
regenerates and reactivates the red blood cells, supplies the body with fresh oxygen and helps
the normal function of vesicular breathing.
Water Treatment
A cold water bath is among the most valuable curative measures in anaemia. The patient should
be given carefully graduated cold baths twice daily. Cold friction, hot epsom salt bath for five to
10 minutes once a week and an occassional cabinet steam bath are also recommended. Full
sun baths are especially beneficial as sunlight stimulates the production of red cells.
There are other important factors which are helpful in curing anaemia. Deep breathing and light
exercise like walking and simple yoga asanas should be undertaken to tone up the system.
Sarvangasana paschomittanasana, uttanpadasana and shavasana are recommended. Massage
also helps to keep the blood level high.

NATURE CURE
Appendicitis
Appendicitis is the most common of all serious intestinal disorders. It refers to an inflammation of
the vermiform appendix. It presents itself in acute and chronic forms and affects both the sexes
equally. This disease now accounts for about half the acute abdominal emergencies occurring
between the ages of 10 to 30 . It is more frequent in developed countries than underdeveloped
countries.
The appendix is a small tube located at the end of the caecum, the first part of the large
intestine. It is called vermiform appendix as it resembles a worm. It is usually eight to ten cm.
long. Its structure is made of the same tough fibrous outer covering as protects the entire
alimentary canal. There is a layer of muscular tissue under the outer covering and further a layer
of lymphoid tissue. The function of the appendix, which is performed by this lymphoid tissue, is
to neutralise the irritating waste material generated in the body or the organic poisons introduced
through the skin or membranes.
Symptoms
Appendicitis usually begins with a sudden pain in the centre of the abdomen, which gradually
shifts to the lower right side. The pain may be preceded by general discomfort in the abdomen,
indigestion, diarrhoea or constipation. The patient usually has a mild fever varying from 100 o to
102 o F. Nausea is common, and the patient may vomit once or twice. The muscles of the right
side of the abdomen become tense and rigid. The patient draws some comfort by drawing up the
right leg. The pain increases on the right side on pressing the left side of the abdomen.
Coughing and sneezing makes the pain worse.
If the inflammation continues to increase, the appendix may rupture and discharge its pus into
the abdominal cavity. This may result in a serious state known as peritonitis. The temperature
rises and the patient becomes pale and cold. This condition may call for urgent operation.
In the chronic state of appendicitis, the patient may suffer from recurrent pain in the right lower
abdomen with constipation, loss of appetite and mild nausea.
Causes
Appendicitis is caused by a toxic bowel condition. An excessive amount of poisonous waste
material is accumulated in the calcium. As a result, the appendix is irritated and over-worked and
becomes inflammed. It is an attempt on the part of nature to localise and „burn up” the toxins.
This condition is brought about by wrong feeding habits and enervation of the system.
Inflammation of the bowel lining, due to the habitual use of apparent drugs, is a potent
predisposing factor in the development of appendicitis. Further inflammation and infection comes
from certain germs which are usually present in the intestinal tract.
Treatment
The patient should be put to bed immediately at the first symptoms of severe pain, vomiting and
fever. Rest is of utmost importance in the treatment of this disease. The patient should resort to
fasting which is the only real cure for appendicitis. Absolutely no food should be given. Nothing
except water should enter the system. Low enemias, containing about one pint (1/2 litre) of
warm water should be administered everyday for the first three days to cleanse the lower bowel.
Hot compresses may be placed over the painful area several times daily. Abdominal packs,
made of a strip of wet sheet covered by a dry flannel cloth bound tightly around the abdomen,
should be applied continuously until all acute symptoms subside.
When the acute symptoms subside by about the third day, the patient should be given a full
enema containing about 1 1/2 litre of warm water and this should be repeated daily until the
inflammation and pain have subsided. The patient can be given fruit juices from the third day
onwards. This simple treatment sensibly applied will overcome an appendicitis attack.
Appendicitis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap26.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:18:39 PM]
After spending three days on fruit juices, the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for a further four
or five days. During this period, he should have three meals a day each meal of fresh juicy fruits.
Thereafter, he should adopt a well-balanced diet based on three food groups namely, (i) seed,
nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits.
In case of chronic appendicitis, a short fast should be followed by a full milk diet for two or three
weeks. In this regimen, a glass of milk should be taken every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on
the first day, a glass every hour and a half the next day and a glass every hour the third day.
Then the quantity of milk should be gradually increased so as to take a glass every half an hour,
if such a quantity can be tolerated comfortably. After the full milk diet, the patient should
gradually embark upon a well- balanced diet, with emphasis on fresh fruits and green leafy
vegetables.
Certain vegetable juices, especially carrot juice, in combination with the juices of beets and
cucumbers, have been found valuable in the treatment of appendicitis. Regular use of tea made
from fenugreek seeds has also proved helpful in preventing the appendix from becoming a
dumping ground for excess mucous and intestinal waste.
The patient of appendicitis should adopt all measures to eradicate constipation., if it is habitual.
Much relief can be obtained by the application of hot fomentation and abdominal packs every
morning and night. An abdominal massage is also beneficial. Once the waste matter in the
calcium has moved into the colon and thence eliminated, the irritation and inflammation in the
appendix will subside and surgical removal of the appendix will not be necessary. The surgical
operation should be resorted to only in rare cases, when the appendix has become abscessed.

NATURE CURE
Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis is one of the most common diseases of the blood vessels. It refers to a
thickening of the walls of the arteries due to the presence of calcium or lime. It has become a
common ailment in modern times, accounting for much of the disability and high death rate
among older people.
Arteriosclerosis is usually preceded by artherosclerosis, a kind of degeneration or softening of
the inner lining of the blood vessels walls. The most risky places for such degeneration are the
coronary vessels of the heart and the arteries leading to the brain. Arteriosclerosis results in the
loss of elasticity of the blood vessels, with a narrowing of the smaller arteries, which interferes
with the free circulation of the blood. These changes may gradually extend to capillaries and
veins.
Arteriosclerosis is more frequent in men than women, especially in the younger age-group. It has
been estimated that 40 per cent of all men over 40 years have a significant degree of obstruction
of their coronary arteries and this can lead to heart attack at any time.
Symptoms
The symptoms of arteriosclerosis vary with arteries involved. Signs of inadequate blood supply
generally appear first in the legs. There may be numbness and coldness in the feet and cramps
and pains in the legs even after light exercise. If the coronary arteries are involved, the patient
may have sharp pains, characteristic of angina pectoris. When arteries leading to the brain are
involved, the vessel may burst,causing haemorrhage in the brain tissues. A cerebral vascular
stroke, with partial or complete paralysis of one side of the body may result, if there is blockage
with a blood clot. It may also lead to loss of memory and a confused state of mind in elderly
people. If arteries leading to the kidneys are involved, the patient may suffer from high blood
pressure and kidney disorders.
Causes
The most important cause of arteriosclerosis is excessive intake of white sugar, refined foods
and high fat diet, rich in cholesterol. A sedentary life and excesses of all kinds are the major
contributing causes. Hardening of the arteries may also be caused by other diseases such as
high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, rheumatism, Bright’s disease, malaria, syphillis.
Emotional stress also plays an important part, and heart attacks are more common during the
periods of mental and emotional disturbances, particularly in those engaged in sedentary
occupations. Heredity also plays its role and this disease runs in families.
Treatment
If the causes of arteriosclerosis are known, remedial action should be taken promptly to remove
them. To begin with the patient should resort to a short juice fast for five to seven days. All
available fresh, raw vegetables and fruit juices in season may be taken. Grape-fruit juice,
pineapple juice, lemon juice and juices of green vegetables are especially beneficial. A warm
water enema should be used daily to cleanse the bowels during the period of fasting.
After the juice fast, the patient should take optimum diet made up from three basic food groups,
namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and, (iii) fruits, with emphasis on raw foods.
Plenty of raw and sprouted seeds and nuts should be used. Cold pressed vegetable oils,
particularly safflower oil, flax seed oil and olive oil should be used regularly.
Further, shorter fasts on juices may be undertaken at intervals of three months or so, depending
on the progress being made.
The patient should take several small meals instead of a few large ones. He should avoid all
hydrogenated fats and an excess of saturated fats, such as butter, cream, ghee and animal fat.
He should also avoid meat, salt and all refined and processed foods, condiments, sauces,
Arteriosclerosis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap27.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:18:52 PM]
pickles , strong tea, coffee, white sugar, white flour and all products made from them. Foods
cooked in aluminum and copper utensils should not be taken as toxic metals entering the body
are known to be deposited on the walls of the aorta and the arteries. Smoking, if habitual, should
be given up as smoking constricts the arteries and aggravates the condition.
Recent investigations have shown that garlic and onions have a preventive effect on the
development of arteriosclerosis. Vitamin C has also proved beneficial as it helps in the
conversion of cholesterol into bile acids.
One of the most effective home remedies for arteriosclerosis is the lemon peel. It is believed to
be one of the richest known sources of vitamin P. It strengthens the entire arterial system.
Shredded lemon peel may be added to soups and stews, or sprinkled over salads. To make a
medicine, the peel of one or two lemons may be cut up finely, covered with warm water and
allowed to stand for about 12 hours. A teaspoonful may be taken every three hours, or
immediately before or after a meal.
Parsley is another effective home remedy for arteriosclerosis. It contains elements which help to
maintain the blood vessels, particularly the capillaries and arterial system in a healthy condition.
It may be taken as a beverage by stimmering it gently in the water for a few minutes and
partaking several times daily.
The beet juice has also proved valuable in arteriosclerosis. It is an excellent solvent for inorganic
calcium deposit. Juices of carrot and spinach are also beneficial. These juices can be taken
individually or in combination. Formula proportions found helpful when used in combination are
carrot 300 m.l. and spinach 200 m.l. to prepare 500 m.l. of juice.
The patient should undertake plenty of outdoor exercise and eliminate all mental stress and
worries. Prolonged neutral immersion baths at bed time on alternate days is beneficial. This bath
is administered in a bath tub which should be properly fitted with hot and cold water connection.
The bath-tub should be fitted with water at a temperature ranging from 92 o to 98 o F and the
patient should lie in it for an hour or so. The head should be kept cold with a cold compress.

Arthritis
The word ‘arthritis’ means ‘inflammation of joints’. It comes from two Greek words, athron
meaning joints and its meaning inflammation. It is a chronic disease process. In the early stages,
the whole body is usually involved and one or two joints may become completely deformed,
leaving the patient handicapped and somewhat weakened.
Arthritis assumes various forms, the most frequent being osteroarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Inflammation is the main feature of arthritis, which is a reaction of the joint tissues to some form
of damage or injury.
Oesteroarthritis
Osteroarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which usually occurs in the older age-group. It
results from structural changes in the articular cartilage in the joints, usually those which are
weight-bearing such as the spine and knees.
The chief symptoms of oesteroarthritis are pain and stiffness in the joints. The pain usually
increases after exercise. Other symptoms include watery eyes, dry neck, leg cramps, allergies,
arterisclerosis, impairment in the functioning of the gall-bladder and liver disturbances. The
possible causes include malnutrition, continuous physical stress, obesity, glandular insufficiency,
calcium deficiency and shortage of hydrochloric acid.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious disease which affects not only the joints of the fingers, writs,
hips, knees and feet but also the muscles, tendons and other tissues of the body. The disease is
due to an inflammatory process of the synovium or lining of the joints accompanied by swelling
and eventual deformity.
Rheumatoid arthritis is often called the ” cooked food disease” . It usually develops gradually
over several months with persistent pain and stiffness in one or more joints. Ulti- mately the
whole body is affected. Symptoms include anaemia, colitis, constipation, gall-bladder
disturbances, low blood pressure, deformed hands and feet. The condition may be caused by
hormonal imbalance, physical and emotional stress, infection, severe fright, shock and injury.
Hereditary factors may also be responsible for the onset of this disease.
Treatment
The diet of the arthritis patient should be planned along alkaline lines and should include fruits
and vegetables for protection and proteins and carbohydrates for energy. It may consist of a
couple of fresh raw vegetables in the form of a salad and atleast two cooked vegetables.
Cabbage, carrot, celery, cucumber, endive, lettuce, onion, radishes, tomatoes and watercress
may be used for a raw salad. The cooked vegetables may include asparagus, beets, cauliflower,
cabbage, carrots, celery, brinjal, mushroom, onions, peas, beans, spinach, tomatoes, squash
and turnips.
In severe cases, it will be advisable to put the patient on raw vegetables juice therapy for about a
week. Green juice, extracted from any green leafy vegetable, mixed with carrot, celery and red
beet juice, is specific for arthritis. The alkaline action of raw juices dissolves the accumulation of
deposits around the joints and in other tissues. Fresh pineapple is also valuable as the enzyme
in fresh pineapple juice, bromelain reduces swelling and inflammation inosteoarthritis and
rheumatoid arthritis. Repeated juice fasts are recommended at intervals of every two months.
The raw potato juice therapy is considered one of the most successful biological treatment for
rheumatic and arthritic conditions. It has been used in folk medicine for centuries. The old
method of preparing potato juice was to cut the potato into thin slices, without peeling the skin,
and place them overnight in a large glass filled with cold water. The water should be drunk in the
morning on an empty stomach. Fresh juice can also be extracted from potatoes and drunk
Arthritis

diluted with water on 50 : 50 basis, first thing in the morning.
Black gingerly seeds, soaked overnight in water, have been found to be effective in preventing
frequent joint pains. The water in which the seeds are soaked should also be taken along with
the seeds the first thing in the morning. Drinking water kept overnight in a copper container also
serves the same purpose. This water has traces of copper which helps strengthen the muscular
system. For the same reason wearing a copper ring or bracelet will also help.
Warm coconut oil or mustard oil, mixed with camphor, should be massaged in case of stiff and
aching joints. It will increase blood supply and reduce inflammation and stiffness on account of
gentle warmth produced while massaging. Camphorrated oil is an ancient rebefacient used for
the purpose.
The time has also been used as a home remedy for arthritis since long. The citric acid found in
lime is solvent of the uric acid which is the primary cause of arthritis. Other remedies found
useful in relieving pains in the joints include green-gram soup mixed with crushed garlic cloves
and a teaspoonful of powdered fenugreek seeds in warm water taken everyday.
Sea bathing is considered beneficial in the treatment of arthritis. The natural iodine in the sea
water is said to relieve arthritis pain. As is well-known, iodine regulates the acid-alkaline balance
in the blood and tissues, helps to repair and regenerate worn out tissues and nourishes the
skeletal structure. It enters into the thyroid gland’s secretion. The hormone uses this iodine to
nullify germs in the bloodstream and to create a self- cleansing of internal toxemia.
If sea bathing is not possible, the patient should relax for 30 minutes every night in a tub of warm
water in which a cupful of sea salt has been mixed. The minerals in the sea salt, especially
iodine, can be absorbed through the skin pores. This will help correct an internal imbalance.
The body should be kept warm at all times. Joints should not be bandaged tightly as this limits
movement and interferes with the free circulation of blood. There should be plenty of indirect
ventilation in the bedroom. Rest is of greatest importance to arthritis, who should not overdo
their work, exercise or recreation activities.
Constipation should be avoided as it poisons the system and adds to the irritation and
inflammation of the joints. Light exercises such as walking, hiking and swimming are beneficial.
Maintaining a normal body weight is also an important factor in preventing arthritis. Obesity
places excess stress on weight-bearing joints and interferes with the smooth functioning of
tendons, ligaments and muscles.
The yogic asanas helpful in curing arthritis are trikonasana, bhujangasana, shalabhasana,
naukasana, vakrasana and shavasana. Arthritis patients should practice these asanas regularly.
Yogic kriyas like jalneti and kapalbhati and pranayamas such as anulomaviloma, ujjai and
bhrameri are also beneficial.
The patient should be given a lukewarm enema for a few days to cleanse the bowels. Neutral
immersion baths, hot foot baths, ultrasonic diathermy and exposure of the affected parts to
infra-red rays, a knee pack applied for an hour every night, stream baths and a massage once a
week are beneficial in the treatment of arthritis. All general cold water treatments, such as cold
baths and cold sprays, should be avoided.

NATURE CURE
Asthma
Asthma is an ancient Greek word meaning ” panting or short- drawn breath.” It is the most
troublesome of the respiratory diseases. The asthma patient gets frequent attacks of
breathlessness in between which he is completely normal.
Symptoms
Patients suffering from asthma appear to be gasping for breath. Actually, they have more trouble
exhaling than inhaling because the air passages of the small bronchi become clogged and
constricted with mucus, thus making it difficult for the patient to breathe out. All asthmatics have
more difficulty at night, especially during sleep.
The onset of asthma is either gradual or abrupt. Sudden onsets are often preceded by a spell of
coughing which may be associated with itching of the chin, the back of the neck or chest. When
the onset is gradual, the attack is usually brought on by respiratory infection. A severe attack
causes an increase in heartbeat and respiratory rates and the patient feels restless and fatigued.
There may be coughing, tightness inthe chest, profuse sweating and vomiting. There may also
be abdominal pain, especially if coughing is severe. Foggy weather aggravates the symptoms.
An asthmatic attack begins when the bronchial tubes in the lungs become constricted. The tubes
having become narrow, the inhaled air becomes trapped in the tiny air sacs at the end of the
tubes, making the release of breath difficult. The wheezing sound identified with asthma is
produced by the air being pushed through the narrowed bronchi.
Causes
Mainly bronchial in its symptoms, asthma is caused by a variety of factors. For many it is an
allergic condition resulting from the reaction of the system to the weather, food, drugs, perfumes
and other irritants which vary with different individuals. Allergies to dust are the most common.
Some persons are sensitive to the various forms of dust like cotton dust, wheat dust and paper
dust, some pollens, animal hair, fungi and insects, especially cockroaches. Foods which
generally cause allergic reactions are wheat, eggs, milk, chocolates, beans, potato, pork and
beef.
For others, asthma may result from the abnormal body chemistry involving the system’s
enzymes or a defect in muscular action within the lungs. Quite often, however, asthma is
precipitated by a combination of allergic and non- allergic factors including emotional tension, air
pollution, infections and hereditary factors. It has been estimated that when both parents have
asthma or hay fever, in 75 to 100 per cent cases, the offspring also has allergic reactions.
Treatment
Modern medical system has not been able to find a cure for this crippling disease. Drugs and
vaccines have only limited value in alleviating symptoms. Most of these are habit forming and
the dose has to be increased from time to time to give the same amount of relief. The frequent
introduction of drugs in the system, while giving only temporary relief, tends to make asthma
chronic and incurable. Allergy – which is the immediate cause of asthma – itself is an indication of
lowered resistance and internal disharmony caused by faulty eating and bad habits. This is the
root cause and the real cure lies in a return to nature.
The natural way to treat asthma consists of stimulating the functioning of slack excretory organs,
adopting appropriate diet patterns to eliminate morbid matter and reconstruct the body, and
practicing yogasanas, yogic kriyas and pranayamas to permit proper assimilation of food and to
strengthen the lungs, digestive system and circulatory organs.
The patient should be given an enema to clean the colon and prevent auto-intoxication.
Mud-packs applied to the abdomen will relieve the fermentation caused by undigested food and
will promote intestinal peristalsis. Wet packs should be applied to the chest to relieve the
Asthma

congestion of the lungs and strengthen them. The patient should be made to perspire through
steam bath, hot foot bath, hot hip bath and sun bath.
This will stimulate the skin and relieve congested lungs.
The patient should fast for a few days on lemon juice with honey and thereafter resort to a fruit
juice diet to nourish the system and eliminate the toxins. Gradually, solid foods can be included.
The patient should, however, avoid the common dietic errors. Ideally, his diet should contain a
limited quantity of carbohydrates, fats and proteins which are acid-forming foods, and a liberal
quantity of alkaline foods consisting of fresh fruits, green vegetables and germinated gram.
Foods which tend to produce phelgm such as rice, sugar, lentils and curds as also fried and
other difficult- to- digest foods should be avoided. Breakfast may consist of prunes, orange or
berries or a few black raisins with honey. Lunch and dinner should consist of a salad of raw
vegetables such as cucumber, lettuce, tomato, carrot and beets, one or two lightly cooked green
vegetables and wheat bread. The last meal should preferably be taken before sunset or at least
two hours before going to bed.
Asthamtics should always eat less than their capacity. They should eat slowly, chewing their
food properly. They should drink eight to 10 glasses of water a day, but should avoid taking
water or any liquid with meals. Spices, chillies and pickles, too much tea and coffee should also
be avoided.
Asthma, particularly when the attack is severe, tends to destroy the appetite. IN such cases, do
not force the patient to eat. He should be kept on fast till the attack is over. He should, however,
take a cup of warm water every two hours. An enema taken at that time will be very beneficial.
Honey is considered highly beneficial in the treatment of asthma. It is said that if a jug of honey
is held under the nose of an asthma patient and he inhales the air that comes into contact with
the honey, he starts breathing easier and deeper. The effect lasts for about an hour or so. This is
because honey contains a mixture of ‘higher’ alcohols and ethereal oils and the vapors given off
by them are soothing and beneficial to the asthma patient. Honey usually brings relief whether
the air flowing over it is inhaled or whether it is eaten or taken either in milk or water. It thins out
accumulated mucous and helps its elimination from the respiratory passages. It also tones up
the pulmonary parenchyma and thereby prevents the production of mucous in future. Some
authorities recommend one year old honey for respiratory disease.
Another effective remedy for asthma is garlic. The patient should be given daily garlic cloves
boiled in thirty gms of milk as a cure for early stage of asthma. Steaming ginger tea with minced
garlic cloves in it, can also help to keep the problem under control and should be taken both in
the morning and evening. Turmeric is also regarded as an effective remedy for bronchial
asthma. The patient should be given a teaspoonful of turmeric powder with a glass of milk two or
three times daily. It acts best when taken on an empty stomach.
During the attack, mustard oil mixed with little camphor should be massaged over the back of
the chest. This will loosen up phelgm and ease breathing. The patient should also inhale steam
from the boiling water with caraway seeds, known as ajwain in the vernacular. It will dilate the
bronchial passage.
The patient should also follow the other laws of nature. Air sun and water are great healing
agents. Regular fasting once a week, an occasional enema, breathing exercises, fresh air, dry
climate, light exercises and a correct posture go a long way in treating the disease.
The patient should perform yogic kriyas such as jalneti, vamandhouti and yogic asanas such as
ekpaduttanasana, yogamudra, sarvangasana, padmasana, bhujangasana, dhanurasana,
vakrasana, ardh-matsyendrasan, shalabhasan, paschimottanasana and shavasana.
Pranayamas like kapalbhati, anuloma-viloma, ujjayi, surbyabhedana and bhramari are also
highly beneficial.
The patient should avoid dusty places, exposure to cold, foods to which he is sensitive, mental
worries and tensions. Asthmatic should be made to feel that they are not sick, and with slight
adjustments, can live a full life.

NATURE CURE
Backache
Backache, one of the most common ailments, is widely prevalent these days due to sedentary
living habits and hazardous work patterns. The psychological conditions associated with
emotional stress, which bring about spasm of the muscles, may also cause backache. As the
back bears the weight of the entire body it gives way when it has to carry an extra load in the
case of persons who are overweight.
The back, a complex structure of muscles, bone and elastic tissue, is known as the life-bone of
the body. The spine is made of 24 blocks of bone piled one on top of the other. Sandwiched
between these bony blocks are cushions of cartilage and elastic tissues called intervertebral
discs. The vertebral discs act as shock absorbers for the back. Mobility would be impossible
without discs.
Sometimes these cushions rupture and the pulp protrudes a little. The process is erroneously
called a ‘slipped’ disc. If the cushion disappears entirely, the result is known as a degenerated
disc. In slipped-disc trouble, the nerve is affected in such a way that the pain radiates down the
thigh and leg. If the disc ‘slips’ in the neck area, it causes numbness and pain radiates to the
arms.
Disc trouble does not occur suddenly but builds up over a long time. The backbone forms a
protective arch over the vertebrae and spinal cord and protects the spinal nerves that are
interwoven through the spinal column. There is a close relationship between the bones, discs,
joint muscles and nerves in the back and the slightest problem or injury to the back or neck area
can have disastrous effects.
Symptoms
In most cases of backache, the pain is usually felt either in the middle of the back or lower down.
It may spread to both sides of the waist and the hips. With acute pain, the patient is unable to
move and is bedridden.
About 90 per cent of backache patients suffer from what is called cervical or lumber spondylosis.
It is a degenerative disorder in which the vertebralbone or the intervertebral disc becomes soft
and loses shape. As a result of this, the spine loses its flexibility.
Causes
The main causes of backache and spondylosis are muscular tension, joint strain, poor posture
and incorrect nutrition resulting from dietetic errors and lack of exercise. Acute or chronic
illnesses like kidney or prostate problems, female disorders, influenza and arthritis, may also
lead to backache. Other causes include stress and strain resulting from sitting for a long time,
improper lifting of weight, high heels and emotional problems which may cause painful muscle
cramping.
Poor posture results from soft chairs and coaches, which facilitates slouching and sitting
incorrectly. Shoes with high heels place a tremendous strain on the back and other muscles of
the body. Sleeping on too soft a mattress which results in an improper back and neck posture,
can cause tension, headaches and pain in the upper and lower back.
Another major cause of back problems and tense muscles is lack of exercise. Modern
conveniences have made officework easier. The easy life can lead to obesity which puts a great
strain on the back. When muscles are not exercised and remain weak, the chances of injury to
them is increased manifold.
Treatment
Drugs prescribed to relieve pain or relax muscles in backache disorders do not cure common
back problems. These can become habit forming and may actually perpetuate the disease in
case of excessive intake.
Backache
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap30.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:19:25 PM]
Certain safety measures , especially, for people in sedentary occupation, are necessary to
relieve and prevent backache. The most important of these is exercise which improves the
supply of nutrients to spinal discs, thereby delaying the process of deterioration that comes with
age and eventually affects everybody. Safe exercises include walking, swimming and bicycling.
The latter should be done keeping the back upright. Controlling one’s weight is another
important step towards relieving backache as excess weight greatly increases the stress on soft
back tissues.
Those with sedentary occupations should take a break to stand up every hour. Soft cushioned
seats should be avoided and position should be changed as often as possible. Persons with
back problems should sleep on a firm mattress on their sides with knees bent at right angles to
the torso. They should take care never to bend from the waist down to lift any object but instead
should swat close to the object, bending the knees but keeping the back straight, and then stand
up slowly.
Neck tension arising from long hours at the desk or behind the wheel of the car can be relieved
by certain neck exercises. These include rotating the head clockwise and anticlockwise, allowing
the head to drop forward and backward as far as possible and turning the head to the right and
left as far as possible several times. These exercises help to loosen up contracted neck muscles
which may restrict the blood supply to the head.
The diet of those suffering from backache should consist of a salad of raw vegetables such as
tomato, carrot, cabbage, cucumber, radish, lettuce and at least two steamed or lightly cooked
vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, carrot, spinach and plenty of fruits, all except bananas.
The patients should have four meals daily. They may take fruits and milk during breakfast,
steamed vegetables and whole wheat chapatis during lunch, fresh fruits or fruit juice in the
evening and a bowl of raw salad and sprouts during dinner.
The patients should avoid fatty, spicy, and fried foods, curd, sweetmeats, sugar, condiments as
well as tea and coffee. Those who smoke and take tobacco in any form should give them up
completely.
Proteins and vitamin C are necessary for the development of a healthy bone metrix. Vitamin D,
calcium, phosphorous and the essential trace minerals are essential for healthy bones. Foods
that have been processed for storage to avoid spoiling have few nutrients and should be
eliminated from the diet. Vitamin C has proved helpful in relieving low-back pain and averting
spinal disc operations.
Hot fomentations, alternate sponging or application of radiant heat to the back will also give
immediate relief. Yogic asanas which are beneficial in the treatment of backache are
bhujangasana, shalabhasana, halasana, uttanpadasana and shavasana.
The back can be strengthened through proper nutrition, exercise and relaxation and in the
process general health will also improve.

NATURE CURE
Bronchitis
Bronchitis refers to an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the bronchi and bronchial
tube within the chest. It is a breathing disorder affecting the expiratory function. In most cases,
some infection also occurs in the nose and throat. It is a disease endemic to cold, damp
climates, but may occur anywhere.
Bronchitis may be acute or chronic. In chronic cases, the disease is of long duration. It is more
serious than the acute type as permanent changes may have occurred in the lungs, thereby
interfering with their normal movements. Chronic bronchitis is more frequent in males than in
females and mortality rate is also higher in males.
Symptoms
In most cases of bronchitis, the larynx, trachea and bronchial tubes are acutely inflamed. The
tissues are swollen due to irritation. Large quantities of mucus are secreted and poured into the
windpipe to protect the inflamed mucous membrane. The phelgm, when expelled is found to be
viscid and purulent. There is usually a higher fever, some difficulty in breathing and a deep chest
cough. Other symptoms are hoarseness and pain in the chest and loss of appetite. Breathing
trouble continues till the inflammation subsides and mucous is removed.
Causes
The chief cause of bronchitis is wrong feeding habits. The habitual use of refined foods such as
white sugar, refined cereals and white-flour products results in the accumulation of morbid
matter in the system and collection of toxic waste in the bronchial tube. Another important cause
of this disease is smoking. Excessive smoking irritates the bronchial tubes and lowers their
resistance so that they become vulnerable to germs breathed in from the atmosphere. Other
causes of bronchitis are living or working in stuffy atmosphere, use of drugs to suppress earlier
diseases and hereditary factors. Changes in weather and environment are common factors for
the onset of the disease.
Treatment
In acute cases of bronchitis , the patient should fast on orange juice and water till the acute
symptoms subside. The procedure is to take the juice of an orange in a glass of warm water
every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thereafter, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for two
or three days. In case of chronic bronchitis, the patient can begin with an all- fruit diet for five to
seven days, taking each day three meals of fresh juicy fruits. After the all-fruit diet, the patient
should follow a well-balanced diet of seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits. For drinks,
unsweetened lemon water or cold or hot plain water may betaken. The patient should avoid
meats, sugar, tea, coffee, condiments, pickles, refined and processed foods, soft-drinks,
candies, ice-cream and products made from sugar and white flour.
One of the most effective remedy for bronchitis is the use of turmeric powder. A teaspoonful of
this powder should be administered with a glass of milk two or three times daily. It acts best
when taken on an empty stomach.
Another effective remedy for bronchitis is a mixture of dried ginger powder, pepper and long
pepper taken in equal quantities three times a day. It may be licked with honey or infused with
one’s daily tea. The powder of these three ingredients have antipyretic qualities and are effective
in dealing with fever accompanied by bronchitis. They also tone up the metabolism of the
patient.
The onion has been used as a food remedy for centuries in bronchitis. It is said to possess
expectorant properties . It liquefies phelgm and prevents its further formation. One teaspoon of
raw onion juice, the first thing in the morning will be highly beneficial in such cases.
A simple hot poultice of linseed should be applied over the front and back of the chest. It will
Bronchitis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap31.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:19:33 PM]
greatly relieve pain. Poultices act by diluting the vessels of the surface and thereby reducing the
blood pressure. The heat of the poultics acts as a cardiac stimulant. A poultics should be applied
neatly and carefully and should be often renewed, so that it does not hamper respiration.
Turpentine may be rubbed over the chest with fomentation for the same object.
A hot Epsom-salts bath every night or every other night will be highly beneficial during the acute
stages of the attack. This bath is prepared by dissolving three lbs. of Epsom-salts to 60 litres of
water having a temperature of 100 o F. The patient should remain immersed in the bath for
about 20 minutes. In case of chronic bronchitis, this bath may be taken twice a week. Hot towels
wrung out and applied over the upper chest are also helpful. After applying three hot towels in
turn for two or three minutes each , one should always finish off with a cold towel. A cold pack
should also be applied to the upper chest several times daily in acute conditions. The procedure
is to wring out some linen material in cold water, wrap two or three times round the affected part
and cover it with some flannel. The pack can remain for about an hour at a time.
Fresh air and outdoor exercises are also essential to the treatment of bronchitis and the patient
should take a good walk everyday. He should also perform yogic kriyas such as jalneti and
vamandhouti and yogic asanas such as ekpaduttansana, yogamudra, bhujangasana,
shalabhasana, padmasana and shavasana. Simple pranayamas like kapalbhatti,
anuloma-viloma, ujjai and bhramari are also highly beneficial.

CANCER
The word ‘cancer ‘ comes from the latin „carcinoma” meaning crab. It is the most dreaded
disease and refers to all malignant tumours caused by the abnormal growth of a body cell or a
group of cells . It is today the second largest killer in the world, next only to heart ailments. The
term covers more than 200 diseases.
The majority of cancers occur in the age group 50-60. Sex does not affect the incidence of the
disease. It, however, affects the site of growth. In men, cancer is usually found in the intestines,
the prostate and the lungs. In women, it occurs mostly in the breast tissues, uterus, gall-bladder
and thyroid.
Symptoms
The symptoms of cancer vary according to the site of the growth. The American Cancer Society
has prescribed seven signs or danger signals in general which may indicate the presence of
cancer. These are : a sore that does not heal ; change in bowel or bladder habits ; unusual
bleeding or discharge ; thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere ; indigestion or difficulty in
swallowing ; obvious change in a wart or a mole, and a persistent and nagging cough or
hoarseness. Other symptoms may include unexplained loss of weight , particularly in older
people, a change in skin colour and changes in the menstrual periods, especially bleeding
between periods.
Causes
The prime cause of cancer is not known. Certain cancer- causing substances, known as
carcinogens, however, increase the chances of getting the disease. About 80 per cent of
cancers are caused by environmental factors . Forty per cent of male cancers in India are linked
with tobacco, a known cancer- causing agent. The consumption of pan, bettlenut, tobacco and
slaked lime has been linked with lung and throat cancers. Heavy consumption of alcoholic drinks
can cause oesophagal, stomach and liver cancers. Occupational exposure to industrial
pollutants such as asbestos, nickel, tar, soot and high doses of X-rays can lead to skin and lung
cancers and leukemia. Other factors contributing to cancer are vital infections, trauma, hormone
imbalance and malnutrition. Many well-known biologists and naturopaths, however, believe that
a faulty diet is the root cause of cancer. Investigations indicate that the cancer incidence is in
direct proportion to the amount of animal protein, particularly meat, in the diet. Dr. Willard J.
Visek, a renowned research scientist explained recently a link between excessive meat-eating
and cancer. According to him, the villain is ammonia, the carcinogenic by-product of meat
digestion.
Treatment
The effective treatment of cancer consists of a complete change in diet, besides total elimination
of all environmental sources of carcinogens, such as smoking and carcinogenic chemicals in air
, water and food. There has recently been a surge of popular interest in the concept that diet is
not just a minor, but rather a major factor in both the development and the prevention of cancer.
The disease can be prevented and even treated by dietary programmes that include ‘natural
foods ‘ and the use of megavitamin supplements.
As a first step, the patient should cleanse the system by thoroughly relieving constipation and
making all the organs of elimination – the skin, lungs, liver, kidneys and bowels – active. Enemas
should be used to cleanse the colon. For the first four or five days, the patient should take only
juicy fruits like oranges, grapefruits, lemons, apples, peaches, pears, pineapples and tomatoes.
Vegetable juices are also useful, especially carrot juice.
After a few days of an exclusive fruit diet, the patient may be given a nourishing alkaline-based
diet. It should consist of 100 per cent natural foods, with emphasis on raw fruits and vegetables,
CANCER
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap32.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:19:40 PM]
particularly carrots , green leafy vegetables, cabbage, onion, garlic , cucumber, asparagus,
beets and tomatoes. A minimum requirement of high quality protein, mostly from vegetable
sources such as almonds, millet, sesame seeds, sprouted seeds and grains, may be added to
the diet.
Dr. Ann Wigmore of Boston, U.S.A., the well-known naturopath and a pioneer in the field of living
food nutrition, has been testing the effect of a drink made of fresh wheatgrass in the treatment of
leukemia. She claims to have cured several cases of this disease by this method. Dr. Wigmore
points out that by furnishing the body with live minerals, vitamins, trace elements and chlorophyll
through wheatgrass juice, it may be able to repair itself.
Johanna Brandt, the author of the book ‘ The Grape Cure ‘ has advocated an exclusive grape
diet for the treatment of cancer. She discovered this mode of cure in 1925, while experimenting
on herself by fasting and dieting alternately in the course of her nine-year battle with cancer. She
claimed to have cured herself by this mode of treatment. She recommends a fast for two or three
days so as to prepare the system for the change of diet.
After the short fast, the patient should have a grape meat every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
This should be followed for a week or two even a month or two, in chronic cases of long
standing. The patient should begin the grape cure with a small quantity of 30, 60, to 90 grams
per meal, gradually increasing this to double the quantity. In course of time, about 250 grams
may safely be taken as a meal.
Recent researches have shown that certain vitamins can be successfully employed in the fight
against cancer and that they can increase the life expectancy of some terminal cancer patients.
According to recent Swedish studies vitamin C in large doses can be an effective prophylactic
agent against cancer. Noted Japanese scientist, Dr. Fukunir Morishige, and his colleagues who
have been examining the healing potential of vitamin C for the last 30 years, have recently found
that a mixture of vitamin C and copper compound has lethal effects on cancer.
According to several studies, vitamin A exerts an inhibiting effect on carcinogenesis. It is one of
the most important aids to the body’s defence system to fight and prevent cancer. Dr. Leonida
Santamaria and his colleagues at the University of Pavia in Italy have uncovered preliminary
evidence suggesting that beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A may actually inhibit skin cancer
by helping the body thwart the cancer-causing process known as oxidation.
Recent studies from all over the world suggest that a liberal use of green and yellow vegetables
and fruits can prevent cancer. The 20-years old, ongoing Japanese study found that people who
ate green and yellow vegetables every day had a decreased risk of developing lung, stomach
and other cancers. A Harvard University study of more than 1,200 elderly Massachusetts
residents found that those who reported the highest consumption of carrots, squash, tomatoes,
salads or leafy green vegetables, dried fruits, fresh strawberries or melon had a decreased risk
of cancer.
The other useful measures are plenty of rest, complete freedom from worries and mental stress
and plenty of fresh, pure air.

Cataract
Cataract is among the most common eye diseases. The term actually means a waterfall, and
refers to the opacity of the crystalline lens of the eye on the assumption that the condition is
caused by the humour of the brain falling over the pupil.
The crystalline lens, through which light travels into the interior of the eye, is situated just behind
the iris, or coloured portion of the eye. In cataract, this lens becomes opaque, hence seriously
hampering the entrance of light into the eye. Blindness ensues when no light rays can premeate
the opacity of the lens. According to the modern medical system, a surgical operation to remove
the lens or a major portion of it is the only way to get rid of the disease. The patient is provided
with suitable glasses after the operation to enable him to see well enough to carry on his normal
duties.
Symptoms
The first sign of cataract is blurred vision. The patient finds it difficult to see things in focus. As
the cataract progresses, the patient may get double vision or spots or both. There is a gradual
increase in blindness. At first, vision in twilight may be better than in full daylight since light is
admitted round the more widely-dilated pupil in the dark. In the advance stage, objects and
persons may appear merely blobs of light. In the final stage, there is a grayish -white
discolouration in the pupil.
Causes
Cataract is often found in association with other defects of the eye. There are four factors which
contribute to the loss of transparency of the lens. These are stagnation of the fluid current in the
lens resulting from blood condition ; deterioration in the nutrition of the lens which diminishes the
vitality and resistence of the delicate lens fibres ; deposits between the lens fibres of acids and
salts which have an irritating effect on the lens tissues and exert an increasing pressure on its
delicate fibres, clouding whole lens in the absence of appropriate measures.
As in the case of most diseases, poisons in the blood stream due to dietetic errors and a faulty
style of living is the real cause of cataract. The toxic matter in the blood stream spreads
throughout the body to find shelter in any available weak spot. It strikes the lens if that part has
become weak through strain, excessive use of the eyes and local irritation. The condition
becomes worse with the passage of time and then a cataract starts developing. Other causes of
cataract are stress and strain, excessive intake of alcoholic drinks,sugar,salt, smoking, certain
physical ailments such as gastro-intestinal or gall- bladder disturbance, diabetes, vitamin
deficiencies, especially of vitamin C , fatty acid intolerance, ageing, radiation and side- effects of
drugs prescribed for other diseases.
Some specialists believe that the most important cause of many cataract is poor nutrition. This
may be true even in case of the type of cataract commonly called senile or ageing cataract. The
cause may be a lifetime of malnutrition. Dr. Morgan Raiford, an opthalmologist who has studied
cataracts for many years, considers faulty nutrition to be a basic factor in cataract. He has found
from experience that prevention of cataract is initiated by improving nutrition.
Treatment
Cataract is one of the most stubborn conditions to deal with, if it has become deep-seated,
nothing short of a surgical operation will help in overcoming the trouble. If, however, the cataract
is in the early stages, there are good chances of getting over the ailment by natural means. Even
advanced cases can be prevented from becoming worse.
A thorough course of cleansing the system of the toxic matter is essential. To start with, it will be
beneficial to undergo a fast for three to four days on orange juice and water. A warm water
enema may be taken during this period. After this initial fast, a diet of very restricted nature
Cataract
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap33.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:19:48 PM]
should be followed for two weeks. In this regimen, breakfast may consist of oranges or grapes or
any other juicy fruit in season. Raw vegetable salads in season, with olive oil and lemon juice
dressing, and soaked raisins, figs or dates should be taken during lunch. Evening meals may
consist of vegetable such as spinach, fenugreek, drum sticks, cabbage, cauliflower , carrot,
turnips, steamed in their own juices, and a few nuts or some fruits, such as apples, pears and
grapes. Potatoes should not be taken. No bread or any other food should be added to this diet.
After two weeks on this diet, the cataract patient may start on a fuller diet on the following lines :
Breakfast : Any fresh fruits in season, except bananas.
Lunch : A large mixed raw vegetable salad with wholemeal bread or chapatis and butter.
Dinner : Two or three steamed vegetables, other than potatoes, with nuts and fresh fruit.
The short fast followed by a restricted diet should be repeated after three months of the
commencement of the treatment and again three months later, if necessary. The bowels should
be cleansed daily with a warm water enema during the fast, and afterwards as necessary.
The patient should avoid white bread, sugar, cream, refined cereals, rice, boiled potatoes,
puddings and pies, strong tea or coffee, alcoholic beverages, condiments, pickles, sauces or
other so-called aids to digestion.
There is increasing evidence to show that in several cases cataracts have actually been
reversed by proper nutritional treatment. However, the time needed for such treatment may
extend from six months to three years. Adelle Davis, one of America’s best-known nutritionists,
has pointed out that animals develop cataracts if deprived of pantotehnic acid and amino acid,
tryptophane and vitamin B6 needed for tryptophane assimilation. She states that the diet of the
cataract patient should be high in B2, B6, as well as whole B-complex, panto thenic acid, vitamin
C, D, E and other nutrients.
The aniseed is considered a useful remedy for cataract. The patient should take about six grams
of aniseed daily in the morning and evening. Equal weights of aniseed and coriander powder
and mixed with brown sugar is also beneficial in the treatment of this disease and the mixture
should be taken in doses of 12 grams in the morning and evening. Another valuable remedy for
cataract is to grind seven kernels of almonds and half a gram of pepper together in water, and
then drink the mixture after sifting and sweetening the mixture with sugar candy. It helps the
eyes to regain their vigour.
Simultaneous with the dietary treatment, the patient should adopt various methods of relaxing
and strengthening the eyes. These include moving the eyes gently up and down, from side to
side and in a circle, clock-wise and anti-clockwise; rotating the neck in circles and semi-circles
and briskly moving the shoulders clock-wise and anti-clockwise. The patient should also resort to
palming which is highly beneficial in removing strain and relaxing the eyes and its surrounding
tissues. The procedure has been outlined in chapter 40 on defective vision.
The epsom salt bath is highly beneficial and should be taken twice a week. The patient should
remain in the bath from 25 to 35 minutes till he perspires freely. After the bath the patient should
cool off gradually. Closed eyes should also be bathed at least twice daily with hot water
containing epsom salt – a tablespoonful of salt to a large cupful of hot water.
In cases where the cataract has been caused by stress, an antistress diet rich in protein, vitamin
B,C, E, pantothenic acid and nutrients is essential to overcome the trouble. If a cataract has
already developed, the diet will help prevent its occurrence in the other type.
Fresh air and gentle outdoor exercises, such as walking, are other essentials to the treatment.
Exposure to heat and bright light should be avoided as far as possible.

NATURE CURE
Cirrhosis of the Liver
Cirrhosis of the liver refers to all forms of liver disease characterised by a significant loss of cells.
It is one of the most serious hepatic diseases. The liver gradually contracts in size and becomes
hard and leathery.
The liver is one of the most important glandular organs in the body. It is located high up on the
right side of the abdomen just under the diaphragm. It is a vast chemical laboratory which
performs many important functions. It produces bile, cholesterol, lecithin, blood albumin vital to
the removal of tissue wastes prothrombin essential to the clotting of blood and numerous
enzymes. It inactivates hormones no longer needed, synthesises many amino acids used in
building tissues and breaks proteins into sugar and fat when required for energy. It stores
vitamins and minerals. It also destroys harmful substances and detoxifies drugs, poisons,
chemicals and toxins from bacterial infections. Liver damage interferes with all of these
functions.
In cirrhosis of the liver, although regenerative activity continues, the progressive loss of liver
cells exceeds cell replace- ment. There is also progressive distortion of the vascular system
which interferes with the portal blood flow through the liver. The progressive degeneration of
liver structure and function may ultimately lead to hepatic failure and death.
Symptoms
In the early stages of the diseases, there may be nothing more than frequent attacks of gas and
indigestion, with occasional nausea and vomiting. There may be some abdominal pain and loss
of weight. In the advanced stage, the patient develops a low grade fever. He has a foul breath,
jaundiced skin and distended veins in the abdomen. Reddish hair like markings, resembling
small spiders, may appear on the face, neck, arms and trunk. The abdomen becomes bloated
and swollen, the mind gets clouded and there may be considerable bleeding from the stomach.
Causes
Excessive use of alcohol over a long period is the most potent cause of cirrhosis of the liver. It
has been estimated that one out of 12 chronic alcoholics in the United States develops cirrhosis.
The disease can progress to end-stage of hepatic failure if the person does not abstain from
alcohol. Cirrhosis appears to be related to the duration of alcohol intake and the quantity
consumed daily. Recent researches indicate that the average duration of alcohol intake to
produce cirrhosis is 10 years and the dose is estimated to be in excess of 500 ml of alcohol
daily.
Poor nutrition can be another causative factor in the development of cirrhosis and a chronic
alcoholic usually suffers from severe malnutrition as he seldom eats. Other causes of cirrhosis
are excessive intake of highly seasoned food, habitual taking of quinine for a prolonged period in
tropical climate, and drug treatments for syphillis, fever and other diseases. It may also result
from a highly toxic condition of the system in general. In fact, anything which continually
overburdens the liver cells and leads to their final breakdown can be a contributing cause of
cirrhosis.
Treatment
The patient should be kept in bed. He must abstain completely from alcohol in any form. He
should undergo an initial liver cleaning programme with a juice fast for seven days. Freshly
extracted juices from red beets, lemon, papaya and grapes may be taken during this period. This
may be followed by the fruit and milk diet for two to three weeks.
In this regimen, the patient should have three meals a day, each of fresh juicy fruits and milk.
The fruits may include apples, pears, grapes, grape fruit, oranges, pineapples and peaches. One
litre of milk may be taken on the first day. It should be increased by 250 ml. daily upto two to two
Cirrhosis of the Liver
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap34.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:20:01 PM]
and a half litres a day. The milk should be fresh and unboiled, but may be slightly warmed if
desired. It should be sipped very slowly.
After the fruit and milk diet, the patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet of three
basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits, with
emphasis on raw organically grown foods. An adequate high quality protein diet is necessary in
cirrhosis. The best complete proteins for liver patients are obtained from raw goat ‘s milk,
home-made raw cottage cheese, sprouted seeds and grains and raw nuts, especially almonds.
Vegetables such as beets, squashes, bitter gourd, egg-plant, tomato, carrot, radishes and
papaya are useful in this condition. All fats and oils should be excluded from the diet for several
weeks.
The patient should avoid all refined, processed and canned foods,sugar in any form, spices and
condiments, strong tea and coffee, fried foods,all preparations cooked in ghee, oil or butter and
all meats rich in fat. The use of salt should be restricted. The patient should also avoid all
chemical additives in food and poisons in air, water and environment.
Warm water enema should be used during the treatment to cleanse the bowels. If constipation is
habitual, all steps should be taken for its eradication. Application of alternate compress to liver
area followed by general wet sheet rub will be beneficial. The morning dry friction and breathing
and other exercises should form a regular daily feature of the treatment.

NATURE CURE
Colitis
Colitis is an inflammation of the colon or large intestine. There are two types of colitis : mucus
and ulceratie. Mucus colitis is a common disorder of the large bowel, producing discomfort and
irregular bowel habits. Chronic ulcerative colitis is a severe prolonged inflammation of the colon
or large bowel in which ulcers form on the walls of the colon, resulting in the passing of blood
stools with pus and mucus. Both forms of colitis are the results of prolonged irritation of the
delicate membrane which lines the walls of the colon.
Normally, it is the function of the colon to store waste material until most of the fluids have been
removed to enable well-formed soft stools, consisting of non-absorbable food materials to be
passed. Persons who suffer from an irritable colon have irregular and erratic contractions which
are specially noticeable on the left side.
Symptoms
Chronic ulcerative colitis usually begins in the lower part of the bowels and spreads upwards.
The first symptom of the trouble is an increased urgency to move the bowel, followed by
cramping pains in the abdomen and bloody mucus in the stools. As the disease spreads
upwards, the stools become watery and more frequent and are characterised by rectal straining.
All this loss of blood and fluid from the bowels results in weakness, fever, nausea, vomiting, loss
of appetite and anaemia.
The patient may develop a bloated feeling because the gas is not absorbed or expelled
normally. Some patients suffer from constipation alternating with period of loose bowel
movements. Still others may suffer from a persistent diarrhoea for years together. The patient is
usually malnourished and may be severely underweight. He may suffer from frequent insomnia.
Ulcerative colitis in its severe form may also lead to nutritional problems. The improper
assimilation of the ingested foods due to inflammatory conditions may cause deficiency
diseases. This may gradually result in nervous irritability, exhaustion and depression. In very
severe cases, the patient may even develop suicidal tendencies.
Causes
The main cause of colitis is chronic constipation and the use of purgatives. Constipation causes
an accumulation of the hard faecal matter which is never properly evacuated. Purgatives used
as a ‘cure’ only increase irritation. Often, colitis is caused by a poorly digested roughage,
especially of cereals and carbohydrates, which causes bowel irritation. The disease may also
result from an allergic sensitivity to certain foods especially milk, wheat and eggs. Often, the
intake of antibiotics may upset the bacterial flora in the intestines and interfere with proper
digestion.
Severe stress may also produce ulcerative colitis. During any form of severe stress, outpouring
of adrenal hormones causes such destruction of body protein that at times parts of the walls
lining the intestines are literally eaten away. Such stress also depletes the body of pantothenic
acid. Experiments on animals have shown that they can develop ulcerative colitis when they are
kept on diets deficient in pantothenic acid.
Treatment
The usual treatment of colitis with suppressive drugs is based on the assumption that colitis is
due to germ infection, which it is not. The suppressive drugs drive back into the system the toxic
matter in the colon which nature is endeavouring to eliminate in the form of mucus. They
suppress the symptoms temporarily, without removing the cause. In such cases, the symptoms
recur and colitis becomes chronic. Plain warm water or warm water with a little olive oil used as
a wash-out is the only method of softening and removing the accumulations of hardened matter
sticking to the walls of the colon.
Colitis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap35.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:20:32 PM]
Diet plays an important part in the treatment of colitis. It is advisable to observe a juice fast for
five days or so in most cases of ulcerative colitis. The juices may be diluted with a little boiled
water. Papaya juice, raw cabbage and carrot juices will be especially beneficial. Citrus juices
should be avoided. The bowel should be cleansed daily with a warm water enema.
After the juice fast, the patient should gradually adopt a diet of small, frequent meals of soft
cooked or steamed vegetables, rice, dalia (coarsely broken wheat), well ripened fruits like
banana and papaya, yogurt and home-made cottage cheese. Sprouted seeds and grains, whole
meal bread and raw vegetables may be added gradually to this diet after about 10 days. All food
must be eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly.
Foods which should be excluded from the diet are white sugar, white bread and white flour
products, highly seasoned foods, highly salted foods,strong tea, coffee and alcoholic beverages
and foods cooked in aluminium pans.
Ripe bananas are highly beneficial in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, being bland, smooth,
easily digested and slightly laxative. They relieve acute symptoms and promote the healing
process.
An effective remedy for ulcerative colitis is the use of butter- milk. It is the residual milk left after
the fat has been removed from yogurt by churning. Buttermilk enema twice a week is also
soothing and helps in re-installing a healthy flora in the colon.
Another valuable remedy for colitis is tender coconut water, it is soothing to the soft mucosa of
the colon. Cooked apple also aids the healing of ulcerative conditions because of its ample
concentration of iron and phosphorous.
The patient should have a bowel movement at the same time each day and spend 10 to 15
minutes in the endeavour. Straining at stools should be avoided. Drinking two glasses of water
the first thing in the morning will stimulate a normal bowel movement. An enema may be used if
no bowel movement occurs.
Complete bed rest and plenty of liquids are very important. The patient should eliminate all
causes of tension, adjust to his disability and face his discomfort with patience.

NATURE CURE
The Common Cold
The common cold, also known as „acute coryza,” is an inflammation of the upper respiratory
tract and is caused by infection with virus. It occurs more often than all other diseases. A person
suffers from this disease three times in a year on an average. A cold usually lasts from three to
ten days. The patient feels miserable for the first three days or so.
Symptoms
The first signs of a cold are a feeling of soreness of the throat and congestion of the nasal
passage. Although the disease normally begins in the nose and throat, it affects all parts of the
body. Its usual symptoms are a running nose, sneezing, a rise in temperature, headache, sore
throat, chill, aches and pains in the body and loss of appetite. The skin around the nostrils may
become sore.
Causes
The common cold results from exposure to a virus. Its inten- sity however, depends upon the
state of health of the person and by environmental factors. Lowered vitality, allergic disorders of
the nose and throat, chilling of the body, lack of sleep, depression, fatigue and factors such as
sudden changes in temperature, dust and other irritating inhalations are important contributory
causes for the development of a cold.
The real cause of a cold, however, is the toxic condition of the body brought about by wrong
feeding habits such as an excessive intake of starch, carbohydrates, proteins and other
acid-forming foods. A cold is, therefore, nature’s simplest way of expelling toxic waste from the
human system. The duration of the cold will depend on the amount of poisons accumulated in
the body and the rapidity with which they are expelled.
Treatment
To treat a cold by means of customary suppressive drugs like aspirin and codeline only paves
the way for future trouble of a more serious nature. For such a treatment puts a sudden stop to
the eliminative process then taking place and forces the toxic matter back into the tissues again.
Moreover, drugs have no effect on the duration of the cold. It has been aptly said that a cold can
be cured in a week by taking medicines,otherwise it will subside in seven days.
The only real treatment for colds is a proper diet. The best way to begin the treatment is to put
the patient on a fast for two days. Nothing should be taken during this period except warm water
mixed with lemon juice and honey or fruit juice and hot water. A liquid diet of fruit juice inlarge
amounts is necessary to neutralise the acid condition of the blood and hot drinks are needed to
help clear the kidneys. Pineapple juice in particular is highly beneficial. A warm water enema
should be used daily to cleanse the bowels during this period.
The short juice fast may be followed by an exclusive fresh fruit diet for three days. IN this
regimen, the patient should have three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits such as apples,pears,
grapes, grapefruit, oranges, pineapple, peaches, melon or any other juicy fruit in season.
Bananas, dried or stewed or tinned fruits, should not be taken. No other foodstuff should be
added to the diet as otherwise the whole value of the treatment is lost.
After the exclusive fruit diet, the patient should gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet of
three basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits. It is
advisable to avoid meat, fish, eggs, cheese and starchy foods for a few days.
The patient should strengthen the system as a whole by taking a diet which supplies all the
vitamins and minerals the body needs. Vitamin C, however, heads the list of these nutrients. It
protects one against infection and acts as a harmless antibiotics. It is found in citrus fruits,green
leafy vegetables, sprouted Bengal and green grams.
According to Dr. Linus Pauling, a noble prize-winning scientist, the regular use of this vitamin in
The Common Cold
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap36.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:21:04 PM]
the optimum daily amount will prevent the common cold and if a cold has already appeared,
large doses of this vitamin will relieve the symptoms and shorten its duration. He estimates that
one to two grams or 100 mg. to 200 mg. per day is approximately the optimum amount of this
vitamin. His advice is to swallow one or two 500 mg. tablets of vitamin C at the appearance of
first sign of the cold and continue the treatment by taking an additional tablet every hour.
Lime is the most important among the many home remedies for common cold. It is highly
beneficial in all types of cold and fevers. It should be taken well diluted. Vitamin C-rich lime juice
increases resistance, decreases toxicity and reduces the duration of the illness. Lime juice
should be diluted in a glass of warm water, and a teaspoonful of honey should be added to it. It
forms an ideal remedy for a cold and dry cough.
Garlic soup is an ancient remedy to reduce the severity of cold. Garlic contains antiseptic and
antispasmodic properties besides several other medicinal virtues. The volatile oil in garlic flushes
out the system of all toxins and thus helps bring down fever. Garlic oil combined with onion juice,
diluted with water and drunk several times a day, has also been found in several studies to be
extremely effective in the treatment of the common cold.
Ginger is also an excellent food remedy for colds and coughs. Ginger should be cut into small
pieces and boiled in a cup of water ; it should then be strained and half a teaspoon of sugar
added to it. It should be drunk while it is still hot, in case of colds. Ginger tea, prepared by adding
a few pieces of ginger into boiled water before adding tea leaves, is also an effective remedy for
colds and for fevers resulting from cold.
Turmeric, with its antiseptic properties, is an effective remedy for cold and throat irritations. Half
a teaspoonful of fresh turmeric powder mixed in 30 grams of warm milk is a useful prescription
for these conditions. Turmeric powder should be put into a hot ladle. Milk should then be poured
in it and boiled over a slow fire. In case of a running cold, smoke from the burning turmeric
should be inhaled. It will increase the discharge from the nose and will bring quicker relief.
Water Treatment
A hot water bath, if it can be taken without undue exposure, is recommended as it helps relieve
much of the congestion in the chest and nasal membranes. Hot packs or fomentations are
excellent for treating chest and head colds. Steam bath, hot foot bath and hot hip bath are also
beneficial as they stimulate perspiration. Steam inhalation will help relieve the congestion of the
nasal tissues. Gargling with hot water mixed with salt is beneficial for a sore throat. Cold chest
packs should be applied two or three times a day as they will relieve congestion of lungs and
help in eliminating the accumulated mucus.
Other useful measures in the treatment of common cold are mild sunbath, fresh air and deep
breathing, brisk walks, sound sleep, adjustment of one’s clothes and habits to the requirements
of the season, so as to nullify the effect of weather fluctuations.
Yogasanas like bhujangasana, shalabhasana, dhanurasana, and yogamudra in vajrasana, yogic
kriyas such as jalneti and vamandhouti and pranayamas such as kapalbhati, anuloma- viloma
and suryabhedana are beneficial in the treatment of the common cold.

NATURE CURE
Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis refers to the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin transparent membrane
covering the front of the eye. It is also known as ” sore eyes” and is a very common form of eye
trouble. It spreads from person to person through direct contract. Overcrowding, dirty
surroundings and unhealthy living conditions can cause epidemics of this ailment.
Symptoms
The eyeball and under side of the eyelids become inflamed. At first, the eyes are red, dry and
burning. Later, there may be a watery secretion. IN more serious cases, there is pus formation.
During sleep, this material dries, making the eye-lashes stick together.
Causes
Medical science believes that conjunctivitis results from bacterial infection, viruses or eye-strain.
Prolonged work under artificial light and excessive use of the eyes in one way or the other no
doubt contributes towards the disease. But its real cause can be traced to a catarrh a condition
of the system resulting from general toxaemia due to dietetic errors and faulty style of living .
The patient generally suffers from colds or other ailments indicative of a general catarrhal
condition.
The Cure
The treatment of conjunctivitis through salves and ointments does not cure the disease. To be
effective, treatment must be constitutional. A thorough cleansing of the system and adoption of
natural laws in diet and general living alone can help eliminate conjunctivitis.
The best way to commence the treatment is to adopt an exclusive fresh fruit diet for about seven
days. The diet may consist of fresh juicy fruits in season such as apple, orange, pears, grapes,
pineapple and grapefruit. Banana should, however, not be taken. No other foodstuff should be
added to this diet.
Those who have a serious trouble should undertake a juice fast for three or four days. The
procedure is to take the juice of an orange, in a glass of warm water, if desired, every two hours
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nothing else should be taken as otherwise the value of the fast will be lost.
If orange juice disagrees, carrot juice may be taken. A warm water enema should be taken daily
during the period of fasting.
The short juice fast may be followed by an all-fruit diet for further seven days. Thereafter, the
patient may adopt a general diet scheme on the following lines :-
Breakfast : Any fresh fruits in season, except bananas.
Lunch : Large mixed raw vegetable salad with whole meat bread or chapatis and butter.
Dinner : Two or three steamed vegetables, other than potatoes, with nuts and fresh fruit.
The patient should avoid an excessive intake of starchy and sugary foods in the form of white
bread, refined cereals, potatoes, puddings, pies, pastry, sugar, jams and confectionery, which
cause the general catarrhal condition as well as conjunctivitis. He should also avoid the intake of
excessive quantities of meat and other protein and fatty foods, strong tea and coffee, too much
salt, condiments and sauces. Raw juices of certain vegetables, especially carrots, and spinach,
have been found valuable in the treatment of conjunctivitis. The combined juices of these two
vegetables have proved very effective. 200 ml. of spinach juice should be mixed with 300 ml. of
carrot juice in this combination.
Vitamin A and B2 have also been found valuable in the treatment of conjunctivitis. The patient
should take liberal quantities of natural foods rich in these two vitamins. Valuable sources of
Conjunctivitis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap37.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:21:17 PM]
vitamin A are : whole milk, curds, butter, carrots, pumpkin, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes,
mangoes and papaya. Foods rich in vitamin B2 are green leafy vegetables, milk, almonds, citrus
fruits, bananas and tomatoes.
As regards local treatment to the eyes themselves, a cold foment renders almost immediate
relief by chasing away an overactive local blood supply. The procedure is as follows :
Fold a small hand towel. Saturate it with cold water. Squeeze out excess water and mould
toweling gently over both eyes. Cover it with a piece of warm cloth to retain the temperature.
Repeat the process as soon as the foment gets warmed. Carry out the procedure for one hour.
After terminating the wet pack, treatment cover the eyes with a dry towel. Lie back and relax.
The damaged eye tissues will quickly return to normal. The treatment should be repeated every
night for a week, even though the problem may clear up with the first treatment itself.
Eye exercises
The eye muscle exercises outlined in chapter 33 on cataract and palming outlined in chapter 40
on defective vision are also beneficial in the treatment of conjunctivitis.

NATURE CURE
Constipation
Constipation is a common disturbance of the digestive tract, in this condition, the bowels do not
move regularly, or are not completely emptied when they move.
Constipation is the chief cause of many diseases as such a condition produces toxins which find
their way into the blood stream and are carried to all parts of the body. This results in weakening
of the vital organs and lowering of the resistance of the entire system. Appendicitis, rheumatism,
arthritis, high blood pressure, cataract and cancer are only a few of the diseases in which
chronic constipation is an important predisposing factor.
The number of motions required for normal health varies from person to person. Most people
have one motion a day, some have two a day, while others have one every other day. However,
for comfort and health, at least one clear bowel movement a day is essential and considered
normal.
Symptoms
The most common symptoms of constipation are infrequency, irregularity or difficulty of
elimination due to hard faecal matter. Among the other symptoms are a coated tongue, foul
breath, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, dark circles under the eyes, depression, nausea,
pimples on the face, ulcer in the mouth, constant fullness in the abdomen, diarrhoea alternating
with constipation, varicose veins, pain in the lumber region, acidity, heart burn, and insomnia.
Causes
The most important causes for chronic constipation are wrong diet and a faulty style of living. All
foods in their natural state contain a good percentage of ‘ropughage’ which is most essential in
preserving natural balance of foods and also in helping peristalsis – the natural rhythmic action
by means of which the food is passed down the alimentary canal. Much of the food we eat today
is very deficient in natural bulk or roughage and this results in chronic constipation.
Intake of refined and rich food lacking in vitamins and minerals, insufficient intake of water,
consumption of meat in large quantities, excessive use of strong tea and coffee, insufficient
chewing, overeating and wrong combination of foods, irregular habits of eating and drinking may
all contribute to poor bowel function. Other causes include faulty and irregular habit of
defeacation, frequent use of purgatives, weakness of abdominal muscles due to sedentary
habits, lack of physical activity and emotional stress and strain.
Diseases such as tumours or growths, a sluggish liver, colitis, spastic condition of the intestine,
hyperacidity, diseases of the rectum and colon, bad teeth, uterine diseases, diabetes, use of
certain drugs for treating other ailments, abnormal condition of the lower spine and enlargement
of the prostate glands can also cause chronic constipation.
Treatment
The most important factor in curing constipation is a natural and simple diet. This should consist
of unrefined food such as whole grain celerals, bran, honey, molasses, and lentills; green and
leafy vegetables, especially spinach, french beans, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, cabbage,
cauliflower, brussels, sprouts, celery, turnip, pumpkin, peas, beets, asparagus, carrot; fresh
fruits, especially pears, grapes, figs, papayas, mangoes, grapefruit, gooseberries, guava and
oranges ; dry fruits such as figs, raisins, apricots and dates ; milk products in the form of butter,
ghee and cream.
The diet alone is not enough. Food should be properly chewed-each morsel for at least 15 times.
Hurried meals and meals at odd times should be avoided. Sugar and sugary foods should be
strictly avoided because sugar steals B vitamins from the body, without which the intestines
cannot function normally. Foods which constipate are all products made of white flour, rice,

hard-boiled eggs.
Regular drinking of water is beneficial not only for constipation but also for cleaning the system,
diluting the blood and washing out poisons. Normally six to eight glasses of water should be
taken daily as it is essential for digesting and dissolving food nutrients so that they can be
absorbed and utilised by the body. Water should, however, not be taken with meals as it dilutes
the gastric juices essential for proper digestion. Water should be taken either half an hour before
or an hour after meals.
Generally all fruits, except banana and jack fruit, are beneficial in the treatment of constipation.
Certain fruits are however, more effective. Bael fruit is regarded as best of all laxatives. It cleans
and tones up the intestines. Its regular use for two or three months throws out even the old
accumulated faecal matter. Though generally used to check diarrhoea, bael contains both
laxative and constipative properties. It hardens the stools when they are loose and serves as a
laxative when the bowels are constipated. It should be preferably used in its original form and
before dinner. About 60 grams of the fruit will suffice for an adult.
Pears are regarded the next best fruit beneficial in the treatment of constipation. Patients
suffering from chronic constipation should better adopt an exclusive diet of this fruit or its juice
for few days, but in ordinary cases a medium-sized pear taken after dinner or with breakfast will
have the desired effect. The same is true of guava which, when eaten with seeds, gives
roughage to the diet and helps in the normal evacuation of the bowels.
Grapes have also proved highly beneficial in overcoming constipation. The combination of the
properties of the cellulose, sugar and organic acid in grapes make them a laxative food. Their
field of action is not limited to clearing the bowels only. They also tone up the stomach and
intestines and relieve the most chronic constipation. One should take atleast 350 grams of
grapes daily to achieve the desired results. When fresh grapes are not available, raisins soaked
in water can be used. Raisins should be soaked in a tumblerful of drinking water for 24 to 48
hours. This would swell them to the original size of the grapes. The raisins should be eaten early
in the morning. The water in which raisins are soaked should be drunk along with the soaked
raisins.
Drinking hot water with sour lime juice and half a teaspoon of salt is also an effective remedy for
constipation. Drinking water which has been kept overnight in a copper vessel, the first thing in
the morning will bring good results. Linseed is extremely useful in difficult cases of constipation.
A teaspoon of linseed swallowed with water before each meal provides both bulk and lubrication.
In all ordinary cases of constipation, an exclusive fruit diet for about seven days would be the
best way to begin the treatment. For long-standing and stubborn cases, it should be advisable to
have a short fast for four or five days. This will drive out the packed contents of the bowels,
eliminate toxins and purify the blood stream. Weak patients may take orange juice during the
period of fasting. After the all-fruit diet or the short fast, as the case may be, the patient should
gradually embark upon a balanced diet comprising adequate raw foods, ripe fruits and whole
grain cereals. It some cases, further short periods on fruits or short fasts may be necessary at
intervals of two months or so,depending on the progress being made. The bowels should be
cleansed daily through a warm water enema for a few days at the commencement of the
treatment.
A cold friction bath taken daily in the morning can help cure constipation. An alternate hot and
cold hit bath taken before retiring to bed is also beneficial. Abdominal exercise and manual or
mechanical vibratory massage have a refreshing and stimulating effect in many cases.
Toning up the muscles also helps in the treatment of constipation. Fresh air, outdoor games,
walking, swimming, gardening and exercise play an important role in strengthening and
activating the muscles, thereby preventing constipation .
Certain yogic asanas also help to bring relief from constipation as they strengthen the abdominal
and pelvic muscles and stimulate the peristalic action of the bowels. These asanas are
:bhujansana, shalabhasana, yogamudra, dhanurasana, halasana, paschimotanasana.
Pranayamas such as anuloma-viloma and bhastrika and jalaneti kriys are also helpful.

NATURE CURE
Dandruff
Dandruff refers to the flaking scalp which falls like a snow flakes and settles on one’s brows,
shoulders and clothes, but assumes an unpleasant , irritating condition associated with bacteria,
in the case of excessive formation of scales on the scalp. These scales are formed from the
horny layer of the skin.
Symptoms
The scaliness increases whenever the hair is brushed or rubbed. It may also appear as lumps or
crusts on the scalp. Often there is itching as well, and the scalp may become red from
scratching.
Causes
The main causes of dandruff are : impairment of general health, toxic condition of the system
brought on mainly by wrong feeding, constipation and lowered vitality due to infectious diseases.
Other factors contributing to dandruff are emotional tension, harsh shampoos, exposure to cold
and general exhaustion.
Treatment
Numerous medicated shampoos are available in the market for the treatment of dandruff. Most
of these, however, in the process of curing the disorder, cause irreparable damage to the hair
roots because of the synthetic ingredients contained in them. The treatment of dandruff has to
be constitutional, if a permanent cure is desired.
The foremost consideration in the treatment of this disorder is to keep the hair and scalp clean
so as to minimise the accumulation of dead cells. The hair should be brushed daily to improve
the circulation and remove any flakiness. The most effective way to brush the hair is to bend
forward from the waist with the head down towards the ground, and brush from the nape of the
neck towards the top of the head. Short or shoulder-length hair can be brushed right from the
roots to the ends in one stroke. In the case of long hair, two strokes would be best to avoid
stretching the hair.
The scalp should also be thoroughly massaged every day, using one’s finger tips and working
systematically over the head. This should be done just before or after brushing the hair. Like
brushing, this stimulators the circulation, dislodges dirt and dandruff and encourages hair
growth. For a proper massage, spread your fingers fanwise and slip them through the hair. With
your thumb pressed behind your ears, press down on your scalp with your fingertips. Now rotate
your fingers so that they move the scalp over the bony structure of the head. You will feel your
skin move and the scalp tingle. Move up an inch at a time until you have covered the whole
head. It is a very simple procedure, and takes only a few minutes to perform.
Several home remedies have been found useful in the treatment of dandruff. The use of
fenugreek (methi) seeds is one such remedy. Two tablespoons of fenugreek seeds should be
soaked overnight in water. The softer seeds should be ground into a fine paste in the morning.
This paste should be applied all over the scalp and left for half-an hour. The hair should then be
washed thoroughly with soap nut (ritha) solution or shikakai.
The use of a teaspoon of fresh lime juice for the last rinse, while washing hair, is equally
beneficial. This not only leaves the hair glowing but also removes stickiness and prevents
dandruff. Washing the hair twice a week with green gram powder in curd is another useful
prescription.
Dandruff can be removed by massaging one’s hair or half-an- hour with curd which has been
kept in the open for three days, or with a few drops of lime juice mixed with amla juice every
night, before going to bed. Another measure which helps to counteract dandruff is to dilute cider
vinegar with an equal quantity of water and dab this on to the hair with cotton wool in between
Dandruff

shampooing. Cider vinegar added to the final rinsing water after shampooing also helps to
disperse dandruff.
Diet plays an important role in the treatment of dandruff. To begin with, the patient should resort
to all-fruit diet for about five days. In this regimen, there should be three meals a day, consisting
of fresh, juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grapefruit, pineapple and peaches. Citrus
fruits, bananas, dried, strewed or tinned fruits should not be taken. Only unsweetened lemon or
plain water, either hot or cold, should be drunk. During this period, a warm water enema should
be taken daily to cleanse the bowels and all other measures adopted to eradicate constipation.
After the all-fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well- balanced diet. Emphasis should be
on raw foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables ; sprouted seeds, raw nuts and whole grain
cereals, particularly millet and brown rice. Further short periods on the all-fruits diet for three
days or so may be necesssary at a monthly interval, till the skin’s condition improves.
Strict attention to diet is essential for recovery. Starchy, protein, and fatty foods should be
restricted. Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, refined and processed foods –
all these should be avoided, as also soft drinks, candies, ice cream and products made with
sugar and white flour.
Exposure of the head to the rays of the sun is also a useful measure in the treatment of dandruff.
Simultaneously, an attempt should be made to keep the body in good health. This also helps
clear dandruff.

NATURE CURE
Defective Vision
Defective vision is a common problem nowadays. The main reasons for eye defects are reading
in bad light (either too dim or excessively bright ), excessive reading, reading in moving
trains,buses or cars, watching too much television, seeing too many films, and eating artificial
food. The popular belief that the use of spectacles can rectify all cases of defective vision is
based on the assumption that such defects are caused by permanent changes in the eyes. This
assumption is not correct as defective vision results from functional derangements which can be
rectified by simple natural methods of treatment.
Persons who are prescribed glasses are told that they should avoid taking them off because of
the danger of eye strain and that they should always look straight through the centre of the lens.
So, when looking in other directions they do not move their eye balls and eye muscles as is
natural, but instead move head up and down or sideways. Thus, constant use of glasses throws
the whole natural process of vision out of gear and causes ‘parking’ of the eyes. Gradually, the
muscles of the eyes degenerate through non-use. Moreover, the use of glasses results in a
reduction of blinking which is a movement intended to assist and preserve eye sight. Wearing
glasses for many years results in stiff, dull-looking eyes without any sparkle.
Causes
The three chief causes of defective vision are mental strain, wrong diet and improper blood and
nerve supply.
Mental strain : Dr. W.H. Bates, the founder of revolutionary methods of eye treatment,
considers mental strain to be the cause of all defects of vision, which puts corresponding
physical strain on the eyes , their muscles and nerves. In his opinion the lesser defects
are mainly due to mental strain owing to over work, fear, anxiety, etc. In pursuance of this
theory, Dr. Bates has concentrated his efforts on methods of treatment which will remove
the condition of mental strain.
i.
Wrong Feeding : The eye is a part of the body and as such must share in any condition
affecting the system. Most of the diseases affecting the eyes are symptoms of a general
toxemic condition of the body due mainly to excessive starch, sugar and protein ingestion.
The muscles and blood vessels surrounding the eyes share in the clogging process
taking place over the body due to improper metabolism caused by an imbalanced and
too-concentrated diet.
ii.
Improper blood and nerve supply : The eyes need to be properly supplied with blood
and nerve force for proper vision. Any factor capable of interfering either with the blood
vessels or with the nerves of the eyes could cause defective vision. The muscles covering
the upper portion of the spine at the back of the neck are the main seat of the mechanical
interference with the blood and nerve supply to the eyes.
iii.
The Cure
Eye exercise : The following exercises will loosen the strained and contracted muscles
surrounding the eyes :
Keep your head still and relaxed. Gently move the eyes up and down six times. Repeat
the same movement twice or thrice at two-second intervals The eyes should move slowly
and regularly as far down as possible and then as far up as possible.
i.
Move the eyes from side to side as far as possible, without any force or effort six times.
Repeat two or three times.
ii.
iii. Hold the index finger of your right hand about eight inches in front of the eyes, then look
Defective Vision

from the finger to any other large object ten or more feet away – the door or window will
do. Look from one to the other ten times. Do this exercise fairly rapidly.
Move the eyes up gently and slowly in a circle, then move them low in the reverse
direction . Do this four times in all. Rest for a second and repeat the movements two or
three times, using minimum efforts. All eye muscle exercises should be performed while
seated in a comfortable position.
iv.
Neck Exercises : Rotate the neck.
. in circles and semi circles.
move the shoulders clockwise and anti-clockwise brisky, drawing them up as far as
possible several times,
b.
c. allow the head to draw forward and backward as far as possible,
Turn the head to the right and left as far as possible several times. These exercises help
to loosen up contracted neck muscles which may restrict blood supply to the head.
d.
Sun gazing : Sit on a bench facing the sun with your eyes closed and gently sway sideways
several times for 18 minutes. Open the eyes and blink about ten times at the sun and look at
some greenery. This helps shortsight and is good for inflamed eyes.
Splashing : Splash plain, cold water several times on closed eyes. Rub the closed lids briskly
for a minute with a clean towel. This cools the eyes and boosts blood supply.
Palming : Sit comfortably in an armchair or on a settee and relax with your eyes closed. Cover
your eyes with your palsm, right palm over the right eye and left over the left eye. Do not,
however, press down on the eyes. With your eyes completely covered in this manner, allow your
elbows to drop to your knees, which should be fairly close together. With your eyes closed thus,
try to imagine blackness, which grows blacker and blacker. Palming reduces strain and relaxes
the eyes and its surrounding tissues.
Swinging : Stand with your feet 12 inches apart, hands held loosely at the sides, the whole
body and mind relaxed. Gently sway your body from side to side, slowly, steadily, with the heels
rising alternatively but not the rest of the foot. Imagine you are the pendulum of the clock, and
move just as slowly. Swinging should be done in front of a window or a picture. You will see the
object moving in the opposite direction of your swing. This must be noted and encouraged.
When you face one endof the window or object, blink once. This exercise has a very beneficial
effect upon the eyes and nervous system.
Diet
Natural, uncooked foods are the best diet. These include fresh fruits, such as oranges, apples,
grapes,peaches, plums, cherries ; green vegetable like lettuce, cabbage, spinach, turnip tops ;
root vegetables like potatoes, turnips, carrot, onions and beetroots ; nuts, dried fruits and dairy
products.
Cereals are also necessary , but they should only be consumed sparingly. Genuine wholemeal
bread is the best and most suitable. Nans, cakes, pastries, white sugar, white bread,
confectionary, tea, coffee, etc., together with meat, fish, or eggs, soon play havoc with the
digestion and the body.
The value of vitamin A for improving vision must be stressed. The intake of sufficient quantities
of this vitamin is essential as a safeguard against or treatment of defective vision or eye disease
of any kind. The best sources of this vitamin are cod liver oil, raw spinach, turnip tops, cream,
cheese, butter, egg yolk, tomatoes, lettuce, carrot, cabbage, soya beans, green peas, wheat
germ,fresh milk, oranges and dates.
Yogic exercises :
The four yogic exercises prescribed for strengthening the optic nerve known as ‘trataka’ as
explained in chapter 7 on yoga therapy should be practised daily. Certain yogasanas such as
bhujangasana, shalabhasana, yogamudra, paschimottan asana and kriyas like jalneti are also

NATURE CURE
Depression
Depression is the most prevalent of all the emotional disorders. This may vary from feelings of
slight sadness to utter misery and dejection. It brings together a variety of physical and
psychological symptoms which together constitute a syndrome.
Depression is the most unpleasant experience a person can endure. It is far more difficult to
cope with than a physical ailment. The growing complexities of modern life and the resultant
crisis, as well as mental stress and strain in day to day living, usually leads to this disorder. It
also arises out of the monotony and drudgery of a daily routine, without any meaningful variation
in urban life. Suicide is the major risk in extreme cases of depression.
Symptoms
It is not always easy to diagnose depression clinically. The most striking symptoms of
depression are feelings of acute sense of loss and inexplicable sadness, loss of energy and loss
of interest. The patient usually feels tired and lacks interest in the world around him. Sleep
disturbance is frequent. Usually the patient wakes up depressed at 4 or 5 in the morning and is
unable to return to sleep. Other disturbed sleep patterns are difficulty in getting off to sleep on
going to bed at night, nightmares and repeated waking from midnight onwards.
The patient often suffers from guilt, oppressive feelings and self-absorption. Other symptoms of
depression are : loss of appetite, gidiness, itching, nausea, agitation, irritability, impotence or
frigidity, constipation, aches and pains all over the body, lack of concentration and lack of power
of decision. Some persons may lose interest in eating and suffer from rapid loss of weight while
others may resort to frequent eating and as a result gain in weight.
Cases of severe depression may be characterized by low body temperature, low blood pressure,
hot flushes and shivering.
The external manifestations represent a cry for help from the tormented mind of the depressed
persons. The severely depressed patient feels worthless and is finally convinced that he himself
is responsible for his undoing and his present state of hopeless despair.
Causes
Depleted functioning of the adrenal glands is one of the main causes of mental depression.
Irregular diet habits cause digestive problems and lead to the assimilation of fats. An excess of
carbohydrates like cereals, white sugar, coffee, tea, chocolates and comparatively less
quantities of vegetables and fruits in the diet may result in indigestion. Due to indigestion, gases
are produced in the digestive tract, causing compression over the diaphragm in the region of the
heart and lungs. This in turn, reduces the supply of oxygen to the tissues, which raises the
carbon dioxide level, causing general depression.
The excessive and indiscriminate use of drugs also leads to faulty assimilation of vitamins and
minerals by the body and ultimately causes depression. The use of aspirin leads to deficiencies
of vitamin C and antacids can cause deficiencies of calcium and vitamin B. Diabetes, low blood
sugar (hypoglycaemia) and weakness of the liver resulting from the use of refined or processed
foods, fried foods and an excessive intake of fats may also lead to depression.
The Cure
The modern medical system treats depression with anti- depression drugs which provide
temporary relief but have harmful side-effects and do not remove the causes or prevent its
recurrence. The harmful side-effects include gross liver damage, hypersensitivity, insomnia,
hallucinations, a confused state, convulsions, a fall in blood pressure which brings on headaches
and dizziness , blurred vision, difficulty in inhaling and urine retention. The plan of action for
self-treatment of depression consists of regulating the diet, exercise, scientific relaxation and
meditation.
Depression

Diet has a profound effect on the mental health of a person. Even a single nutritional deficiency
can cause depression in susceptible people. Dr. Pricilla, associate clinical professor at the
University of California, prescribes nutritional therapy to build up brain chemicals, such as
serotonin and norepinephrine, that affect mood and are often lacking in depressed people. She
recommends eating foods rich in B vitamins, such as whole grains, green vegetables, eggs and
fish.
The diet of persons suffering from depression should completely exclude tea, coffee, alcohol,
chocolate and cola, all white flour products,sugar, food colourings, chemical additives, white rice
and strong condiments. The diet should be restricted to three meals. Fruits can be taken in the
morning for breakfast with milk and a handful of nuts and seeds. Lunch may consist of steamed
vegetables, whole wheat chappatis and a glass of butter-milk. For dinner, green vegetable salad
and all available sprouts such as alfalfa seeds, mung, cottage cheese or a glass of butter-milk
would be ideal.
Activity and Exercise
The depressive mood can be overcome by activity. Those who are depressive will forget their
misery by doing something. They should turn away from themselves and consider others. At
home they can take to decorating, repairing or constructing something new. The pleasure of
achievement overcomes the distress of misery.
Exercise also plays an important role in the treatment of depression. It not only keep the body
physically and mentally fit but also provides recreation and mental relaxation. It is nature’ best
tranquiliser. According to Dr. Robert Brown, a clinical associate professor at the University of
Virginia School of Medicine, ” Exercise produces chemical and psychological changes that
improves your mental health. It changes the levels of hormones in blood and may elevate your
beta-endorphins( mood-affecting brain chemicals). Exercise may also improve the function of the
autonomic nervous system.”
Exercise also gives a feeling of accomplishment and thus reduces the sense of helplessness.
Some form of active exercise, must be undertaken each day at a regular hour. To be really
useful, exercise should be taken in such a manner as to bring into action all the muscles of the
body in a natural way. Walking is one such exercise. It is , however, so gentle in character that
one must walk several kilometers in a brisk manner to constitute a fair amount of exercise. Yogic
asanas such as vakrasana, bhujangasana, shalabhasana, halasana, paschimottanasana,
sarvangasana and shavasana and pranayamas like kapalbhati, anuloma-viloma and bhastrika
are highly beneficial in the treatment of depression.
Relaxation and Meditation
The patient must gain control over his nervous system and channelise his mental and emotional
activities into restful harmonius vibrations. This can be achieved by ensuring sufficient rest and
sleep under right conditions. He must also learn the art of scientific relaxation and meditation
which will go a long way in curing depression.
Relaxation enables the muscles to work more efficiently and eliminates fatigue by promoting
venous blood circulation throughout the body. The best method of relaxation is to practice
shavasana or the ‘ded pose.’ The procedure for this asana has been outlined in chapter 7 on
yoga therapy.
Meditation involves training the mind to remain fixed on a certain external or internal location. All
the mental faculties should be directed, without cessation, towards the object of meditation. It
can be achieved by constant practice. It will be advisable to meditate on God or Atman as one
becomes imbued with the quality of the object on which one meditates.
Meditation will help create an amount of balance in the nervous system. This would enable the
glands to return to a correct state of hormonal balance and thereby overcome the feeling of
depression. Regularity of time, place and practice are very important in meditation. Regularity
conditions the mind to slowing down its activities with a minimum delay. The most effective times
are early dawn and dusk, when the atmosphere is serene and peaceful.
A neutral immersion bath for one hour daily is also helpful in the treatment of depression. This
bath is administered in a bath tub which should be properly fitted with hot and cold water
connections. The patient should lie in the tub after filling it with water at a temperature ranging
from 92 o to 98 o F. The head should be kept cold with a cold compress.

NATURE CURE
Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a nutritional disorders, characterized by an abnormally elevated level of
blood glucose and by the excretion of the excess glucose in the urine. It results from an absolute
or relative lack of insulin which leads to abnormalities in carbohydrate metabolism as well as in
the metabolism of protein and fat.
Diabetes is a disease known to the medical world since time immemorial. Its incidence is ,
however, much higher at present than ever in the past. This is especially true in case of more
advanced countries of the world due to widespread affluence and more generous food supply.
The most commonly-used screening tests are the determination of the fasting blood glucose
level and the two-hour postprandial, that is after a meal. The normal fasting blood sugar content
is 80 to 120 mg. per 100 ml. of blood and this can go up to a level of 180 mg. per 100 ml. of
blood two hours after meals. Anything above these norms can be termed diabetic levels.
Diabetes occurs in all age groups, from young infants to the elderly. The greatest incidence
occurs in middle or older aged persons. It is estimated that 80 to 85 per cent of all individuals
with diabetes mellitus are 45 years of age or older.
Symptoms
The word diabetes is derived from the Greek word meaning „to siphon to pass through”, and
mellitus comes from the Latin word „honey”. Thus two characteristic symptoms, namely, copious
urination and glucose in the urine give the name to the disease. The normal volume of urine
passed daily is about one and a half litres. The urine is of a pale colour, has an acidic reaction
and sweetish odour. The quantity of sugar present in it varies from one-and-quarter decigram to
two and-a-half grams the total per day in many cases reaching as much as one kg in 15 litres of
urine.
A diabetic feels hungry and thirsty most of the time, does not put on weight, though he eats
every now and then, and gets tired easily, both physically and mentally. He looks pale, may
suffer from anaemia, constipation, intense itching around the genital organs, palpitations and
general weakness. He feels drowsy and has a lower sex urge than a normal person.
Causes
Diabetes has been described by most biological doctors as a „prosperity” disease, primarily
caused by systematic overeating and consequent obesity. Not only the overeating of sugar and
refined carbohydrate but also of proteins and fats, which are transformed into sugar if taken in
excess, is harmful and may result in diabetes. Too much food taxes the pancreas and eventually
paralyses its normal activity. It has been estimated that the incidence of diabetes is four times
higher in persons of moderate obesity and 30 times higher in persons of severe obesity.
Grief, worry and anxiety also have a deep influence on the metabolism and may cause sugar to
appear in the urine. The disease may be associated with some other grave organic disorders
like cancer, tuberculosis and cerebral disease. Heredity is also a major factor in the development
of the disease. It has been rightly said, ” Heredity is like a cannon and obesity pulls the trigger.”
Treatment
Any successful method of diabetes treatment should aim at removal of the actual cause of the
disease and building up of the whole health-level of the patient. Diet plays a vital role in such a
treatment. The primary dietary consideration for a diabetic patient is that he should be a strict
lacto-vegetarian and take a low-calorie, low-fat, alkaline diet of high quality natural foods. Fruits,
nuts and vegetables, whole meal bread and dairy products form a good diet for the diabetic.
These foods are best eaten in as dry a condition as possible to ensure thorough salivation
during the first part of the process of digestion.
Cooked starchy foods should be avoided as in the process of cooking the cellulose envelops of
Diabetes
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap42.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:22:27 PM]
the starch granules burst and consequently, the starch is far too easily absorbed in the system.
The excess absorbed has to be got rid of by the kidneys and appears as sugar in the urine. With
raw starchy foods, however, the saliva and digestive juices in the small intestine regulate the
quantities required to be changed into sugar for the body’s needs. The unused and undigested
portion of raw starchy foods does not become injurious to the system, as it does not readily
ferment.
The diabetic should not be afraid to eat fresh fruits and vegetables which contain sugar and
starch. Fresh fruits contain sugar fructose, which does not need insulin for its metabolism and is
well tolerated by diabetics. Fats and oils should be taken sparingly, for they are apt to lower the
tolerance for proteins and starches. Emphasis should be on raw foods as they stimulate and
increase insulin production. For protein, home- made cottage cheese, various forms of soured
milks and nuts are best. The patient should avoid overeating and take four or five small meals a
day rather than three large ones.
The following diet should serve as a guideline.
Upon arising : A glass of lukewarm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Breakfast : Any fresh fruit with the exception of bananas, soaked prunes, a small quantity of
whole meal bread with butter and fresh milk.
Lunch : Steamed or lightly cooked green vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes,
spinach, turnip, asparagus and mushrooms, two or three whole wheat chapatis according to
appetite and a glass of butter-milk or curd.
Mid-afternoon : A glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice.
Dinner : A large bowl of salad made up of all the raw vegetables in season. The salad may be
followed by a hot course, if desired, and fresh home-made cottage cheese.
Bedtime Snack : A glass of fresh milk.
Flesh foods find no place in this regimen, for they increase the toxaemic condition underlying the
diabetic state and reduce the sugar tolerance. On the other hand, a non-stimulating vegetarian
diet, especially one made up of raw foods, promotes and increases sugar tolerance.
Celery, cucumbers, string beans, onion and garlic are especiallybeneficial. String bean pod tea
is an excellent natural substitute for insulin and highly beneficial in diabetes. The skin of the
pods of green beans are extremely rich in silica and certain hormone substances which are
closely related to insulin. One cup of string bean tea is equal to one unit of insulin. Cucumbers
contain a hormone needed by the cells of the pancreas for producing insulin. Onion and garlic
have proved beneficial in reducing blood sugar in diabetes.
Recent scientific investigations have established that bitter gourd (karela) is highly beneficial in
the treatment of diabetes. It contains an insulin-like principle, known as plant-insulin which has
been found effective in lowering the blood and urine sugar levels. It should, therefore, be
included liberally in the diet of the diabetic. For better results, the diabetic should take the juice
of about 4 or 5 fruits every morning on an empty stomach. The seeds of bitter gourd can be
added to food in a powdered form. Diabetics can also use bitter gourd in the form of decoction
by boiling the pieces in water or in the form of dry powder.
Another effective home remedy is jambul fruit known as jamun in the vernacular. It is regarded in
traditional medicine as a specific against diabetes because of its effect on the pancreas. The
fruits as such, the seeds and fruit juice are all useful in the treatment of this disease. The seeds
contain a glucoside ‘jamboline’ which is believed to have power to check the pathological
conversion of starch into sugar in cases of increased production of glucose. They should be
dried and powdered. This powder should be taken mixed in milk , curd or water.
The patient should avoid tea, coffee and cocoa because of their adverse influence on the
digestive tract. Other foods which should be avoided are white bread, white flour products, sugar
tinned fruits, sweets, chocolates, pastries, pies, puddings, refined cereals and alcoholic drinks.
The most important nutrient in the treatment of diabetes is manganese which is vital in the
production of natural insulin. It is found in citrus fruits, in the outer covering of nuts, grains and in
Diabetes
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap42.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:22:27 PM]
the green leaves of edible plants. Other nutrients of special value are zinc, B complex vitamins
and poly-unsaturated fatty acids.
Exercise is also an important factor in the treatment of diabetes. Light games, jogging and
swimming are recommended. Yogic asanas such as bhujangasana, shalabhasana,
dhanurasana, paschimottanasana, sarvangasna, halasana, ardha-matsyendrasana and
shavasana, yogic krisyas like jalneti and kunajl and pranayamas such as kapalbhati,
anuloma-viloma and ujjai are highly beneficial.
Hydrotherapy and colonic irrigations form a very important part of treatment. The colon should
be thoroughly cleansed every second day or so, until the bowel discharge assumes normal
characteristics. Bathing in cold water greatly increases the circulation and enhances the capacity
of the muscles to utilise sugar.
The diabetic patient should eliminate minor worries from his daily life. He must endeavor to be
more easy-going and should not get unduly worked up by the stress and strain of life.

NATURE CURE
Diarrhoea
Diarrhoea refers to the frequent passage of loose or watery unformed stools. As a rough guide it
can be said that three or four loose or watery stools a day can be considered as diarrhoea. The
disease may be acute or chronic. Commonly known as „loose motion”, it is perhaps the most
common disease in India.
The intestine normally gets more than 10 litres of liquid per day which comes from the diet and
from secretion of the stomach, liver, pancreas and intestines. In the case of diarrhoea, water is
either not absorbed or is secreted in excess by the organs of the body. It is then sent to the
colon where water- holding capacity is limited. Thus the urge to defecate comes quite often.
Causes
There are many and varied causes of diarrhoea. The chief causes are overeating or eating of
wrong foods, putrefaction in intestinal tract, fermentation caused by incomplete carbohydrate
digestion, nervous irritability, use of antibiotic drugs and excessive intake of laxatives. Other
causes include parasites , germs, virus, bacteria or a poison which has entered into the body
through food, water or air ; allergies to certain substances or even common foods such as milk,
wheat, eggs and sea foods and emotional strain or stress in adults and fright in children.
Diarrhoea may be a prominent feature of organic disease affecting the small or large intestine
such as the sprue syndrome, malignant disease and ulcerative colitis. It may also result from
operations on the gastro-intestinal tract. Diarrhoea may alternate with constipation. This may
result from the irritation of the mucous membrane by impacted hard faeces.
Diarrhoea for prolonged periods can lead to certain complications. These may include
weakening, due to loss of vitamins like A, D, E and K and other nutrients as food is
rushed through the body without giving the nutrients a chance of being absorbed.
i.
dehydration, due to loss of body fluids and washing out of minerals from the body and
nervous conditions.
ii.
Treatment
In severe cases of diarrhoea, it is advisable to observe a complete fast for two days to provide
rest for the gastro-intestinal tract. Hot water only may be taken during the period to compensate
for the loss of fluids. Juices of fruits may be taken after the acute symptoms are over. After the
condition improves, meals can be enlarged gradually to include cooked vegetables, whole rice,
spoured milks. Raw foods should be taken only after the patient completely recovers.
An effective remedy for diarrhoea is the use of buttermilk. It is the residual milk left after the fat
has been removed from yogurt by churning. It helps overcome harmful intestinal flora and
re-establish the benign or friendly flora. The acid in the buttermilk also fights germs and bacteria.
It may be taken and mixed with a pinch of salt three or four times a day controlling diarrhoea.
Carrot soup is another effective home remedy for diarrhoea. It supplies water to combat
dehydration, replenishes sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sulphur and magnesium,
supplies pectin and coats the intestine to allay inflammation. It checks the growth of harmful
intestinal bacteria and prevents vomiting. One pound of carrot may be cooked in five ounces of
water until it is soft. The pulp should be strained and boiled water added to make a quart.
Three-quarter tablespoon of salt may be mixed. This soup should be given in small amounts to
the patient every half an hour.
The pomegranate has proved beneficial in the treatment of diarrhoea on account of its astringent
properties. If the patient develops weakness due to profuse and continuous purging, he should
be given repeatedly about 50 ml. of pomegranate juice to drink. This will control the diarrhoea.
Mango seeds are also valuable in diarrhoea. The seeds should be collected during the mango
season, dried in the shade and powdered and kept stored for use as medicine when required. It
should be given in doses of about one and a half gram to two grams with or without honey.
Diarrhoea

Turmeric has proved another effective home remedy for diarrhoea. It is a very useful intestinal
antiseptic. It is also a gastric stimulant and a tonic. Turmeric rhizome, its juice or dry powder are
all very helpful in curing chronic diarrhea. In the form of dry powder, it may be taken in buttermilk
or plain water.
In case of diarrhoea caused by indigestion, dry or fresh ginger is very useful. A piece of dry
ginger is powdered along with a crystal or rock salt. A quarter teaspoonful of this powder should
be taken with a small piece of jugglery. It will bring quick relief as ginger, being carminative, aids
digestion by stimulating the gastrointestinal tract.
Starchy liquids such as arrowroot water , barley water, rice gruel and coconut water are highly
beneficial in the treatment of diarrhoea. They not only replace the fluid lost but also bind the
stools. Other home remedies include bananas and garlic. Bananas contain pectin and
encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria. Garlic is a powerful, effective and harmless
antibiotic. It aids digestion and routs parasites.
The best water treatment for diarrhoea are the abdominal compress ( at 60 o F) renewed every
15 to 20 minutes and cold hip bath ( 40 o – 50 o F). If the patient is in pain, abdominal
fomentations for 15 minutes should be administered every two hours.

NATURE CURE
Dysentery
Dysentery is a serious condition affecting the large intestine. It is characterised by inflammation
and ulceration of the bowel, a colic pain in the region of the abdomen and passing of liquid or
semi-formed stones with mucus and blood.
The pathological condition of dysentery is caused by two organisms, protozoa and bacilli. The
former is generally known as amoebic dysentery and later as bacillary dysentery. An attack of
amoebic dysentery is milder in comparison with bacillary dysentery. But while bacillary dysentery
can respond quickly to treatment, amoebic dysentery does not leave the patient easily, unless
he is careful.
Dysentery is prevalent allover the world except in very cold countries. Places where insanity
conditions prevail are particularly affected. The disease strikes both sexes equally. Similarly, no
age is immune, though children are more prone.
Symptoms
Desentery may be acute and chronic. The acute form is characterised by pain in the abdomen,
diarrhoea and dysenteric motions. Yellowish white mucus and sometimes only blood from the
intestinal ulcers passes with stools. The evacuations are preceded by pain and tenesmus. The
patient feels a constant desire to evacuate, although there may be nothing to throw off except a
little mucus and blood There is a feeling of pain in the rectum and along the large intestine. With
the advance of the disease the quantity of mucus and blood increases. Occassionally casts or
shreds of skinline mucous membrane, from small fragments to 12 inches or so long and an inch
wide , are seen to pass out with motions. Sometimes pus is also thrown out with motions and
often the smell of the stools becomes very foetid. All the digestive processes are upset and
secretions are changed or stopped. The saliva becomes acid instead of being alkaline and the
gastric juice itself may become alkaline. The stomach loses power to digest and absorb food.
The bacilli create toxins and the foetid matters formed also augment further manufacture of
toxins and consequent absorption in blood.
Chronic cases are after-effects of acute attacks. The patient does not recover completely. Stool
remains putrid and may contain blood, while diarrhoea and constipation may alternate, and
general health is disturbed. In severe cases, the temperature may rise to 104 – 105 o F. It may
occasionally become subnormal also.
Causes
The cause of dysentery, according to modern medical system, is germ infection. The germs,
which are supposed to cause dysentery only develop in colon as a result of putrefaction there of
excessive quantities of animal protein food, fried substance, over-spices foods and hard to
digest fatty substances. The real cause of dysentery is thus dietary indiscretion and eating of
excessive amounts of flesh food in hot weather or tropical climate unsuited to the digestion of
such foods. Other causes include debility, fatigue, chill, lowered vitality, intestinal disorders and
overcrowding under insanitary conditions.
Treatment
The treatment of dysentery should aim at removing the offending and toxic matter from the
intestines and for alleviating painful symptoms, stopping the virulence of the bacteria and
promoting healing of the ulcer.
Fasting is the only correct remedy for dysentery to bring with. The patient should fast as long as
acute symptoms are present. During the period of fasting, only orange juice and water should be
taken. In the alternative, the patient should subsist on buttermilk till the acute symptoms are
over. Butter- milk combats offending bacteria and helps establishment of helpful
micro-organisms in the intestines.
Dysentery
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap44.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:23:10 PM]
The patient may be given small doses of castor oil in the form of emulsion. This acts as a mild
aperient and facilitates quicker removal of offensive matter, minimises the strain during motion
and also acts as a lubricant to the ulcerated surfaces. IN addition to administration of castor oil,
the mechanical removal of accumulated poisonous matter should be attempted by giving very
low pressure enema, admitting as much water as the patient can tolerate. This can be done
twice or thrice daily. The patient should take complete bed rest as movement induces pain and
aggravates distressing symptoms. A hot water bag may be applied over the abdomen.
After the acute symptoms are over, the patient may be allowed rice, curd, fresh ripe fruits,
especially bael, banana and pomegranate and skimmed milk. Solid foods should be introduced
very carefully and gradually according to the pace of recovery. Flesh foods of all kinds should be
avoided in future as far as possible. Other foods which should be avoided are tea, coffee, white
sugar and white flour and products made from them as well as alcohol in all forms. Foods which
have a detoxifying and cleansing effect upon the intestines on their passage, through, such as
fruits and vegetables, are most essential to a future dietary.
Among specific food remedies, bael fruit is, perhaps , the most efficacious in the treatment of
dysentery of both the varieties. Pulp of the fruit mixed with jaggery should be given thrice daily.
To deal with a chronic case of dysentery, unripe bael fruit is roasted over the fire and the pulp is
mixed with water. Large quantities of the infusion so made should be administered with jaggery.
The pulp of the unripe fruit mixed with an equal quantity of dried ginger can also be given with
butter milk.
The use of pomegranate rind is another effective remedy for dysentery. About 60 grams of therin
should be boiled in 250 grams of milk. It should be removed from the fire when one third of the
milk has evaporated. It should be administered to the patient in three equal doses at suitable
intervals. It will relieve the disease very soon.
Lemon juice is very effective in dealing with ordinary cases of dysentery. A few lemons, peels
and sliced, should be added to 250 ml. of water and boiled for a few minutes. The strained
infusion should be administered thrice daily.
Other remedies considered useful in the treatment of dysentery are the use of small pieces of
onions mixed with curd and equal parts of the tender leaves of the peepal tree, coriander leaves
and sugar chewed slowly.

NATURE CURE
Eczema
The term ‘eczema’ is derived from a Greek word meaning ‘to boil.’ It refers to an inflammation of
the skin which results in the formation of vesicls or pulstules. It is the most common and most
troublesome of all skin diseases.
Eczema is essentially a constitutional disease, resulting from a toxic condition of the system.
The disease covers a wide variety of forms, the majority of them being of a chronic variety.
Symptoms
Eczema in its acute form is indicated by redness and swelling of the skin, the formation of
minute vesicles and severe heat. If the vesicles rupture, a raw, moist surface is formed. From
this, a colourless discharge oozes, which forms skin crusts when it accumulates. The disease is
usually worst at night when the heat of the body is retained by the bed-clothes.
The skin itches at all stages. IN the wet stage, it may become infected with bacteria. The healing
of the condition is affected by scratching in response tothe irritation. Scratching not only spreads
infection but also lengthens the stage of dryness and scaling.
Causes
Allergies play an important part in causing eczema. Some women get eczema on their hands
due to an allergy to soap or detergents used to wash clothes or dishes. Some persons develop it
around the fingers when they wear rings because of allergy to metals. Researchers at the
University of Texas Health Science Centre at San Antonio, in a recent study of children with
atropic eczema, found that 75 per cent were allergic to a number of foods. The most common
triggers for sensitive persons are eggs, peanuts, chocolate, wheat, cow’s milk, chicken and
potato.
The real cause of eczema however is the failure of the human system to excrete the poisons
from the various orifices of the body. Waste matter is excreted from the rectum through stools,
from the bladder through urine, from the lungs through breath and from the pores of the skin
through sweat. Sometime the pores of the skin are overworked as waste matter is not properly
eliminated from the other orifices. If the pores are not given the chance to perform their normal
function, the sweat will be full of morbid matter and this gives rise to skin diseases like eczema,
acne, boils and other eruptions.
Other causes include faulty metabolism, constipation, nutritional deficiencies and stress brought
about by nagging spouses, jealousy, frustration and a host of other emotions. Suppressive drug
treatment of the formal disease is also a most potent subsidiary causative factor in many cases.
The Cure
Skin applications to cure eczema may give temporary relief. If the exudation is suppressed,
some other more serious disease may develop. The best way to deal with eczema is to cleanse
the blood stream and the body.
The treatment should start with a fast on orange juice and water from five to days, depending on
the severity and duration of the trouble. Juice fasting will help eliminate toxic waste from the
body and lead to substantial improvement. In some cases, the condition may worsen in the
beginning of the fast due to the increased elimination of waste matter through the skin. But as
fasting continues, improvement will manifest itself.
Fruits, salt free, raw or steamed vegetables with whole meal bread or chappatis may be taken
after the juice fast. Carrot and musk melon are particularly beneficial. Coconut oil may be used
instead of ghee. After a few days, curd and milk may be added to the diet. The patients may
thereafter gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet of three basic food groups, namely
(i) seeds, nutsand grains (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits. The large proportion of the diet should
consist of raw foods. Seeds and beans such as alfalfa, mung and soyabeans can be sprouted.
Eczema
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap45.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:23:19 PM]
This diet may be supplemented with cold-pressed vegetable oils, honey and yeast. Juice fasting
may be repeated at intervals of two months or so, depending on the progress being made, in
chronic and more difficult cases of eczema, patient should fast atleast once a week till he is
cured.
The patient should avoid tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages and all condiments and highly
flavoured dishes. He should also avoid sugar, white flour products, denatured cereals like
polished rice, and pearled barley and tinned or bottled foods. He should eat only pure and
wholesome foods.
Raw vegetable juices, especially carrot juice in combination with spinach juice, have proved
highly beneficial in the treatment of eczema. The formula proportions considered helpful in this
combination are carrot 300 ml. and spinach 200 ml. to make 500 ml. or half a litre of juice.
The patient should get as much fresh air as possible. Restrictive clothing should not be worn.
Two or three litres of water should be taken daily and the patient must bath twice or thrice a day.
The skin, with the exception of the parts affected with eczema, should be vigorously rubbed with
the palms of the hands before taking the bath.
Coconut oil may be applied to the portions with eczema. It will help the skin to stay soft. Walking
or jogging should be resorted to in order to inactivate the bowels. Sun bathing is also beneficial
as it kills the harmful bacteria and should be resorted to early in the morning, in the first light of
dawn. A light mudpack should be applied over the sites of the eczema is also helpful. The pack
should be applied for an hour at a time and should be repeated twice or thrice a day .
Water Treatment
In cases of acute eczema, cold compress or cold wet fomentations are beneficial. The affected
part should be wrapped with a thick soft cloth. The cloth should be moistened with cold water (
55 o – 60 o F) every 15 to 30 minutes for two hours at a time. The bandage should be left intact,
keeping the cloth cold. There may be intensification of itching or pain initially but this will soon
subside. A cold compress may be applied twice daily for a week or so.

NATURE CURE
Epilepsy
Epilepsy refers to a chronic condition in which repeated fits or attacks of unconsciousness occur
with or without confusions. It is a serious disorder of a central nervous system. It occurs in both
children and adults. Most attacks, however, occur in childhood and in early adult life. Attack
rates show a progressive decline in frequency with age.
Epilepsy is a very ancient disease which afflicted some of the world’s greatest personalities,
including Napoleon, Alexander and Julius Ceasar. Theactual word ” epilepsy” comes from the
Greek word which means ” to seize upon”. The ancient people believed that evilspirits entered
the body of the person afflicted, seized upon his soul and threw his body into convulsions. The
Greeks believed that the gods induced this disease. The early Christians blamed the devil for
convulsions.
One of the main problems that a person with epilepsy has to face is continual uncertainty about
whether or not he or she will have an attack on any particular occasion. Patients may find
themselves increasingly inhibited from engaging in social events because of the understandable
fear that they might embarrass themselves by having another attack. Such people also
encounter difficulties in employments and other relationships.
Symptoms
Epilepsy is recognised by recurrent sudden attacks at irregular intervals. The patients twitch
convulsively and fall unconscious to the ground during these attacks which cause tremendous
nervous unheavel. There are two main types of epilepsy known as petit mal and grand mal.
Each follows its own specific pattern.
In petit mal, which is a less serious form of epilepsy,an attack comes and goes within a few
seconds. The patient has a momentary loss of consciousness, with no convulsions except
sometimes a slight rifidity, or there may be slight attack of convulsions such as a jerk, or
movement of the eyes, head trunk or extremities, with no perceptible loss of consciousness. The
patient may not fall. He may suddenly stop what he is doing and then resume it when the attack
is over, without even being aware of what has happened. Petit mal attacks may occur at any
time in life but are most frequent in children.
The attack in case of grand mal comes with a dramatic effect. There are violent contractions of
the arms, legs and body, accompanied by a sudden loss of consciousness. Before the onset of
an attack, some patients have a warning or aura in the form of strange sensations such as a
current of air or a stream of water flowing over a body, noises, odours and flashes of light. IN a
typical attack,. the patient cries out, falls to the ground loses consciousness and develops
convulsions. With the convulsions may come foaming at the mouth, twitching of the muscles,
biting of the tongue, distorted fixation of limbs, rotation of the head and deviation of the eyes.
The patient may lose control of his urine and faeces. The attack may last several minutes and is
usually followed by a deep sleep. On waking up, he may remember nothing of what happened to
him.
People who suffer from epilepsy are not abnormal in any other way. They usually know that fits
can be triggered off by particular stimuli. Between epileptic attacks, their brain functions
normally.
Causes
Epilepsy denotes electrical malfunctioning within the brain due to damage of brain cells or some
inherited abnormality. There are many causes of epilepsy. Digestive disturbances, intestinal
toxaemia and a strained nervous condition are very often the main cause of petit mal. Grand mal
usually results from hereditary influences, serious shock or injury to the brain or nervous system.
Meningitis, typhoid, and other diseases attendant with prolonged high temperature can also lead
to grand mal.
Epilepsy
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap46.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:23:40 PM]
Epilepsy may be caused by several other factors. It may result from allergic reactions to certain
food substances, especially some particular form of protein which is the main constituent of
meat. Circulatory disorders such as hardening of arteries leading to the brain may also cause
epileptic seizures. This type is rare and occurs only in very aged people. Chronic alcoholism,
lead poisoning, cocaine and other such habits can also lead to this disease. Other causes of
epileptic seizure include mental conflict, deficient mineral assimilation, particularly of magnesium
and calcium and wrong vitamin metabolism. According to some researchers, hypoglycemia or
low blood sugar is also involved in most cases of epilepsy.
Treatment
In the natural form of treatment, the sufferer from epilepsy has to follow a rigorous regimen
consisting of a strict dietary, complete relaxation and optimum exercise in the open air. He must
adhere to a simple and correct natural life. He must assume a cheerful, optimistic attitude,
refrain from mental and physical overwork and worry.
The most important aspect of the treatment is the diet. To begin with, the patient should be
placed on an exclusive fruit diet for first few days. During this period he should have three meals
a day of fresh juicy fruits such as oranges, apples, grapes, grapefruit, peaches, pears, pineapple
and melon. Thereafter, he may gradually adopt a well balanced diet of three basic food groups
viz. (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits with emphasis on sprouted seeds
such as alfalfa seeds and mung beans, raw vegetables and fruits. The diet should include a
moderate amount of raw milk preferably goat’s milk and milk products such as raw butter and
homemade cottage cheese.
The diet should eliminate completely all animal proteins, except milk, as they not only lack in
magnesium,but also rob the body of its own magnesium storage as well as of vitamin B6. Both
these substances are needed in large amounts by epileptics. The best food sources of
magnesium are raw nuts, seeds, soyabeans , green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale,
beet-tops etc. The patient should avoid all refined foods, fried and greasy food, sugar and
products made with it, strong tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, condiments and pickles.
The patient should avoid over eating and take frequent small meals rather than a few large ones.
He should not eat large meals before going to bed.
Mud packs on the abdomen twice daily help remove toxaemic conditions of the intestines and
thereby hasten removal of epileptic conditions. The application of alternate hot and cold
compresses to the base of the brain, that is at the back of the head will be beneficial. The
procedure is to dip the feet in a bucket of hot water and apply first a hot towel and then a cold
one to the base of the brain. The alternate hot and cold towels should be kept for two or three
minutes about four times. The process shall be repeated twice every day. Full Epsom-salt bath,
twice a week are also beneficial.
If the sufferer from epilepsy has taken strong drugs for many years, he should not leave off
entirely all at once. The dosage may be cut to half to begin with and then gradually reduced
further until it can be left off completely.
An epileptic should strictly observe all the natural laws of good health and build and maintain the
highest level of general health. He should remain active mentally but avoid all severe mental and
physical stress. And above all, he should avoid excitements of all kinds.

NATURE CURE
Falling of Hair
Loss of hair at a very tender age has become a common disorder these days. It causes a great
deal of concern to persons affected by loss of hair, especially Indian women who regard good
hair growth with thick long hair as a sign of beauty.
Hair is formed in minute pockets in the skin, called follicles. An upgrowth at the base of the folic,
called the papilla, actually produces hair ; when a special group of cells turn amino acids into
keratin, a type of protein of which hair is made. The rate of production of these protein ” building
blocks.” determines hair growth. The average growth rate is about 1.2 cm per month , growing
faster on women between the ages 15 and 30.
Causes
The most important cause of loss of hair is inadequate nutrition. Even a partial lack of almost
any nutrient may cause hair to fall. Persons lacking vitamin B6 lose their hair and those deficient
in folic acid often become completely bald. But the hair grows normally after the liberal intake of
these vitamins.
Another important cause of falling of hair is stress such as worry, anxiety and sudden shock.
Stress leads to a severe tension in the skin of the scalp. This adversely affects the supply of
essential nutrition required for the healthy growth of the hair. General debility, syphilis, chronic
cold, influenza and anaemia, also gives rise to this disorder. It makes the roots of the hair weak,
resulting in the falling of hair. Unclean condition of the scalp can also cause loss of hair. It
weakens the hair roots by blocking the pores with the collected dirt. Heredity is another
predisposing factor which may cause hair to fall.
Treatment
The healthy condition of the hair depends, to a very large extent , on the intake of sufficient
amounts of essential nutrients in the daily diet. Hair is made of protein and adequate protein is
necessary for luxuriant hair. Women require 60 grams, men 80 to 90, adolescent boys and girls
80 to 100 grams of protein. It is supplied by milk, buttermilk, yogurt,soyabean, eggs, cheese,
meat and fish. A lack of vitamin A may cause the hair to be caurse and ugly. A deficiency of
some of the B vitamins, of iron, copper and iodine may cause hair disorders like falling of hair
and premature greying.
Lack of inositol causes loss of hair. Any person having trouble with his or her hair should eat
foods rich in inositol such as yeast, liver and molasses. Research has, however, shown that
women have a low requirement of inositol. Although this vitamin may help to stimulate the
growth of a woman’s hair, its lack is probably not a major cause of slow growth . Women are
generally deficient in iodine and vitamin B1, either of which can slow down circulation to the
scalp to such an extent that hair may fall out and new hair grow in very slowly. Women who keep
their diets adequate in iodine, the B vitamins and iron have a better growth of hair.
According to Adelle Davis, a world famous nutritionist, „increasing the intake of protein,
particularly of liver, wheat germ and yeast, and supplementing the diet with a teaspoon of
inositol daily usually stops a man’s hair from falling, and I have seen three or four persons
whose hair became thick after these improvements were made. „
Persons with a tendency to lose hair should thus take a well balanced and correct diet, made up
of foods which in combination should supply all the essential nutrients. It has been found that a
diet which contains liberal quantities of ( i) seeds, nuts and grains, ( ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits
would provide adequate amounts of all the essential nutrients. Each food group should roughly
form the bulk of one of the three principal meals. These foods should , however, be
supplemented with certain special foods such as milk, vegetable oils, honey, wheat germ, yeast
and liver.

Home Remedies
Several home remedies have been found useful in the prevention and treatment of the loss of
the hair. The most effective among these remedies is a vigorous rubbing of the scalp with fingers
after washing the hair with cold water. The scalp should be rubbed vigorously till it starts to tingle
with the heat. It will activate the sebaceous glands and energise the circulation of blood in the
affected area, making the hair grow healthy.
Amla oil, prepared by boiling dry pieces of amla in coconut oil, is considered a valuable hair tonic
for enriching hair growth. A mixture of equal quantity of fresh amla juice and lime juice used as a
shampoo stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss.
Lettuce ( salad-ka-patta) is useful in preventing hair loss through deficiencies. A mixture of
lettuce and spinach juice is said to help the growth of hair if it is drunk to the extent of half a litre
a day. The juice of alfalfa ( lecerne) in combination with carrot and lettuce juice, taken daily also
helps the growth of hair to a remarkable extent. The combination of these juices is rich in
elements which are particularly useful for the growth of hair. While preparing alfalfa juice, the
leaves of the plant only may be used when it can be obtained fresh.
Daily application of refined coconut oil mixed with limewater and lime juice on the hair, prevents
loss of hair and lengthens them. Application of the juice of green coriander leaves on the head is
also considered beneficial. Amaranth, known as chaulai-ka-saag in the vernacular, is another
valuable remedy. Application of its fresh leaf-juice helps the growth of the hair and keeps them
soft.
Mustard oil, boiled with henna leaves, is useful in healthy growth of hair. About 250 grams of
mustard oil should be boiled in tinned basin. A little quantity of henna leaves should be gradually
put in this oil till about 60 grams of these leaves are thus burnt in the oil. The oil should then be
filtered through a cloth and stored well in a bottle. A regular massage of the head with this oil will
produce abundant hair.
Another effective home remedy for loss of hair is the application of coconut milk all over the
scalp and massaging it into the hair loss. It will nourish the hair and promote hair growth. The
coconut milk is prepared by grinding the coconut shavings and squeezing it well.
Washing the hair with a paste of cooked black gram dal, (urad dal) and fenugreek ( methi)
lengthens the hair. A fine paste made from pigeon pea or red gram ( arhar dal ) can also be
applied regularly with beneficial results on bald patches. Regular use of castor oil as hair oil
helps the luxuriant growth of the hair.
Certain home remedies have also been found useful in case of patchy loss of hair. The seeds of
lime and black pepper seeds, ground to get a fine paste, is one of the valuable remedies. This
paste applied on the patches, has mildly irritant action. This increases blood circulation in the
affected area and stimulates hair growth. The paste should be applied twice a day for a few
weeks.
Another useful remedy for patchy loss of hair is the paste of liquorice (mulethi) made by grinding
the pieces in milk with a pinch of saffron. This paste should be applied over the bald patches in
the night before going to bed.

NATURE CURE
Fatigue
Fatigue refers to a feeling of tiredness or weariness. It can be temporary or chronic. Almost
every person has to work overtime on certain occasions, sacrificing rest and sleep, which may
cause temporary fatigue. This condition can be remedied by adequate rest. Chronic or
continuous fatigue is, however, a serious problem which requires a comprehensive plan of
treatment.
Chronic fatigue can result from a variety of factors. A specific character trait, compulsiveness,
can lead to continuous fatigue. Many persons constantly feel that they cannot take rest until they
finish everything that needs to be done at one time. These persons are usually perfectionists,
tense and cannot relax unless they complete the whole job, no matter how tired they may be.
Causes
The chief cause of fatigue is lowered vitality or lack of energy due to wrong feeding habits.
Fatigue is an indication that the cells of the body are not getting sufficient live atoms in the food
to furnish them with a constant flow of needed energy. The habitual use of refined foods such as
white sugar, refined cereals and white four products as well as processed, tinned and preserved
foods have a very bad effect on the system in general. Foods ‘denatured’ in this way are
deprived, to a very great extent, of their invaluable vitamins and minerals. Such foods lead to
nervousness, tiredness, obesity and a host of other complaints prevalent today.
Certain physical conditions can cause fatigue. Anaemia is a very common ailment leading to
tiredness. It is known as ‘tired blood’ disturbance. In anaemia, very little oxygen reaches the
tissues with the result energy cannot be produced normally. This causes constant tiredness and
mental depression. Anaemia usually results from deficiencies of iron and vitamin B12.
Sometime deficiencies of vitamin B6 and folic acid are also involved.
Insomnia or lack of sleep can be a cause of torturing fatigue. Sleep induced by sleeping pills and
other drugs does not banish fatigue. Intestinal parasites can also lead to fatigue as they rob the
body of good nourishment and gorge themselves on rich red blood. Other ailments which can
cause fatigue are low blood pressure, low blood sugar, any kind of infection in the body, liver
damage, a sluggish thyroid and allergy in foods and drugs caused by additives including artificial
flavours, colours and preservatives.
Mental tension is one of the major causes of fatigue. A person who is tense and cannot relax
has all the muscles of his body more or less contracted. This leads to needless waste of
unusually large amounts of energy. Food is continuously burnt, lactic acid accumulates more
rapidly than it can be carried to liver for conversion to body starch. Persons who are high-strung,
nervous and irritable usually suffer from this type of fatigue.
Treatment
Nutritional measures are most vital in the treatment of fatigue. Studies reveal that people who
eat small mid-meals suffer less from fatigue and nervousness, think more clearly and are more
efficient than those who eat only three meals daily. These mid-meals should consist of fresh or
dried fruits, fresh fruit or vegetable juices, raw vegetables or small sandwich of whole grain
bread. The mid-meal should be small and less food should be consumed at regular meals. They
should be taken at specified time such as 11 a.m. , 4 p.m. and before retiring to bed.
The patient should eat health foods which supply energy to the body. Charles De Coti Marsh of
London in his book ‘Prescription for Energy’ prescribes foods to relieve fatigue and gain energy.
He says, ” Regenerating must begin with foods….. They must be taken in their natural state.
These cereals are corn seeds, wheat seeds, rye seeds, maize seeds, barley seeds and oat
seeds. They must be freshly milled. In uncooked cereals, we do have one perfect food for
perfect health which contains essential vitamins and energy creators.” In addition to cereal
seeds, Marsh recommends fresh raw nuts taken directly from the shell and root vegetables. He
Fatigue

says, „Any seed or root vegetable that will grow again will renew human vitality.”
The patient should take an optimum diet made up of (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables,
and (iii) fruits. Roughly, each food group should supply the bulk of one of the three meals.
Sprouting is an excellent way to eat seeds, beans and grains in raw form. Sprouting increases
the nutritional value of foods and many new vitamins are created or multiplied in seeds during
sprouting. The patient should supplement the three health-building food groups with special
protective foods such as milk, high quality cold-pressed unrefined vegetable oil and honey.
The patient should also take natural vitamin and mineral supplements as an effective assurance
against nutritional deficiencies, as such deficiencies have been found to be a factor in fatigue.
Lack of pantothenic acid, B vitamin in particular, leads to extreme fatigue as deficiency of this
vitamin is associated with exhaustion of the adrenal glands.
In fact the entire B-complex protect nerves and increases energy by helping to nourish and
regulate glands. The vegetarian foods rich in vitamin B are wheat and other whole grain cereals,
green leafy vegetables, rice polishing, milk, nuts, banana, yeast, pulses and peas.
Minerals are also important. Potassium is especially needed for protection against fatigue. Raw
green vegetables are rich in this mineral. Calcium is essential for relaxation and is beneficial in
cases of insomnia and tension both of which can lead to fatigue. Sodium and zinc are also
beneficial in the treatment of fatigue.
Raw vegetable juices, especially carrot juice, taken seperately or in combination with juices of
beets and cucumbers, is highly valuable in overcoming fatigue. The formula proportions
considered helpful in the combination juice of 500 ml. are carrot 300 ml. and beet and cucumber
100 ml. each.
The patient should avoid depending for an energy lift, on crutches such as taking aspirin,
tranquilizers and other drugs, drinking coffee or alcohol, smoking , eating some sugar or sweets.
They give only a temporary boost and this is soon followed by a downward plunge of energy,
leaving a person worse than before.

NATURE CURE
Gall-Bladder Disorders
The gall-bladder is a pear-shaped organ, 10 cm. long and three to five cm. wide,attached to the
under-surface of the liver on the right side. The main function of the gall-bladder is to store the
bile secreted by the liver. Bile is an excretion composed mainly of bile salts and acids, colour
pigments and cholesterol. Bile assists in the digestion and absorption of fats and the absorption
of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, minerals and calcium.
The gall-bladder is usually full and relaxed between meals. During the process of digestion,
when food reaches the duodenum, the hormone cholecystokinin begins to be produced in the
internal mucosa. When this hormone reaches the gall- bladder through the bloodstream, it
causes the gall-bladder to contract, thereby releasing the bile concentrate into the duodenum via
a common duct.
The main problems which afflict the gall-bladder are an inflammatory condition known as
cholecystitis and gall-stones. Gall-stones are usually caused by disturbances in the composition
of the bile. A change in the ratio of cholesterol and bile salts may result in the formation of
deposits. At the start, these may be in the form of fine gravel. But these fine particle constitute
the nucleus for further deposits, ultimately leading to the formation of larger stones. An irritation
of the lining of the gall- bladder due to inflammation may also led to the formation of particles.
The incidence of gall-stones is higher in females than males, particularly in those who are
obese.
Symptoms
Indigestion, gas, a feeling of fullness after meals, constipation, nausea and disturbed vision are
the usual symptoms of gall-bladder disorders. Other symptoms are intolerance to fats, dizzines,
jaundice,anaemia, acne and other lesions. Varicose veins, haemorrhoids and breakdown of
capillaries are also disorders associated with gall-bladder troubles.
Causes
The main causes of gall-bladder disorders are digestive disturbances due to a regular excessive
intake of fats and carbo-hydrates in the diet. They can also be brought on by disturbances of the
liver and gall-bladder. Meals rich in fats may cause an attack of gall-bladder pain or gall-stone
colic. Often the disorder is caused by a diet rich in refined carbohydrates such as white flour and
white sugar. Poor health, hereditary factors, stress, spinal displacements, bad posture and
muscular tension may also cause gall-bladder disorders.
Types of gall stones
There are three types of gall-stones, depending on the cause of their formation. These are :
cholesterol stones caused by a change in the ratio of cholesterol to bile salts ; pigment stones
(composed of bile pigment) caused by the destruction of red blood cells due to certain blood
diseases, and mixed stones consisting of layers of cholesterol, calcium and bile pigment
(bilirubin) resulting from stagnation of the bile flow.
The Cure
Surgery becomes necessary if the gall-stones are very large or in cases in which they have been
present for long. Smaller gall-stones can, however, cleared through nature cure methods. Diet is
the basic factor in the treatment of gall bladder disorders. In cases of acute gall-bladder
inflammation, the patient should fast for two or three days, until the acute condition clears.
Nothing but water should be taken during the fast. After the fast, the patient should take carrot,
beet, grapefruit, lemon and grape juice for a few days. Ensure that the diet contains an adequate
amount of lacto-vegetarian, consisting of raw and cooked vegetables, vegetable juices, and a
moderate amount of fruit and seeds. Yogurt, cottage cheese and a tablespoon of olive oil twice a
day should also be taken. Oil serves as a stimulant for the production of bile and lipase, the fat
Gall-Bladder Disorders
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap49.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:24:32 PM]
digesting enzymes. All meats, eggs, animal fats and processed and denatured fats as well as
fried foods should be avoided. The diet should also exclude refined carbohydrates, especially
sugar, sugar products, alcohol, soft drinks, cakes, puddings, ice-cream , coffee and citrus fruits.
The patient should eat small meals at frequent intervals, rather than three large meals. The
following is the suggested menu for those suffering from gall-bladder disorders :
On rising : A glass of warm water mixed with lemon juice and honey or fresh fruit juice,
Breakfast : Fresh fruit, one or two slices of whole meal toast and a cup of skimmed powder
milk.
Mid morning : Fresh fruit juice.
Lunch : Vegetable soup, a large salad consisting of vegetables in season with dressing of
lemon or vegetable oil. Fresh fruit for dessert, if desired.
Dinner : Vegetable oil, one or two lightly cooked vegetables, baked potato, brown rice or whole
wheat chappati and a glass of buttermilk.
Water Treatment :
Regular applications of hot and cold fomentations to the abdomen improve the circulation of the
liver and gall-bladder. They also induce concentrations of the gall-bladder, thereby improving the
flow of bile. A cold hip bath improves the general abdominal tone. The pain of gall-stone colic
can be relieved by the application of hot packs or fomentation to the upper abdominal area. A
warm water enema at body temperature will help eliminate faecal accumulations if the patient is
constipated.
Exercise is essential as physical inactivity can lead to lazy gall-bladder type indigestion which
may ultimately result in the formation of stones. Yogic asanas which are beneficial in toning up
the liver and gall-bladder are : sarvangasana, paschimottanasana, shalabhasana, dhanurasana
and bhujangasana.

NATURE CURE
Gastritis
Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It is a troublesome condition which may
lead to many complications including ulcers if not treated in time. Constipation aggravates the
condition more than any other disorder.
The inflammatory lesions may be either acute erosive gastritis or chronic atrophic gastritis. The
latter type has been found to be present in half the patients suffering from severe iron deficiency
anaemia.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of gastritis are loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, headache and dizziness.
There is also pain and a feeling of discomfort in the region of the stomach. In more chronic
cases, there is a feeling of fullness in the abdomen, especially after meals. The patient
complains of heartburn. Prolonged illness often results in the loss of weight, anaemia and
occassional haemorrhage from the stomach. There may be an outpouring of mucus and a
reduction in the secretion of hydrochloric acid during acute attacks and also in most cases of
chronic gastritis.
Causes
The most frequent cause of gastritis is a dietetic indiscretion such as habitual overeating, eating
of badly combined or improperly cooked foods, excessive intake of strong tea, coffee or
alcoholic drinks, habitual use of large quantities of condiments, sauces, etc. It may sometimes
follow certain diseases such as measles, diptheria, influenza, virus pneumonia, etc. Most often it
also results from worry, anxiety, grief and prolonged tension. Use of certain drugs, strong acids
and caustic substances may also give rise to gastritis.
Treatment
The patient should undertake a fast in both acute and chronic cases of gastritis. In acute cases,
the patient will usually recover after a short fast of two or three days. In chronic condition, the
fast may have to be continued for a longer period of seven days or so. In the alternative, short
fasts may be repeated at an interval of one or two months, depending on the progress being
made.
The fast may be conducted on fruit juices. By fasting, the intake of irritants is at once effectively
stopped, the stomach is rested and the toxic condition, causing the inflammation, is allowed to
subside. Elimination is increased by fasting and the excess of toxic matter accumulated in the
system is thrown out.
After the acute symptoms subside, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for further three days.
Juicy fruits such as apple, pear, grapes, grapefruit, orange, pineapple, peach and melon may be
taken during this period at five-hourly intervals. The patient can thereafter gradually embark
upon a well-balanced diet of three basic food groups, namely : (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii)
vegetables, and (iii) fruits on the following lines :
Upon arising : A glass of lukewarm water with freshly squeezed lemon and spoonful of honey.
Breakfast : Fresh fruits , such as apples, orange, banana, grapes, grapefruit or any available
berries, a handful of raw nuts and a glass of milk.
Mid-morning snack : One apple, banana, or any other fruit.
Lunch : Steamed vegetables, two or three slices of whole meal bread or whole wheat chappatis,
according to the appetite and a glass of butter milk.
Gastritis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap50.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:24:44 PM]
Mid-afternoon : A glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice or sugarcane juice.
Dinner : A large bowl of fresh salad of green vegetables such as tomatoes,carrots, red beets,
cabbage, cucumber with dressing of lemon juice and cold-pressed vegetable oil, all available
sprouts such as alfalfa seeds mung beans, fresh butter and fresh home-made cottage cheese.
Bed time snacks : A glass of fresh milk or one apple.
The patient should avoid the use of alcohol, nicotine, spices, and condiments, flesh foods,
chillies, sour things, pickles, strong tea and coffee. He should also avoid sweets, pastries, rich
cakes and aerated waters. Curds and cottage cheese should be used freely.
Carrot juice in combination with the juice of spinach is considered highly beneficial in the
treatment of gastritis. 200 ml. of spinach juice should be mixed with 300 ml. of carrot juice in this
combination. Too many different foods should not be mixed at the same meal. Meals should be
taken at least two hours before going to bed at night. Eight to 10 glasses of water should be
taken daily but water should not be taken with meals as it dilutes the digestive juices and delays
digestion. And above all, haste should be avoided while eating and meals should be served in a
pleasing and relaxed atmosphere.
Coconut water is an excellent food remedy for gastritis. It gives the stomach necessary rest and
provides vitamins and minerals. The stomach will be greatly helped in returning to its normal
condition if nothing except coconut water is given during the first 24 hours.
Rice gruel is another effective remedy in acute cases of gastritis. In chronic cases where the
flow of gastric juice is meagre, such foods as require prolonged vigorous mastication will be
beneficial as this induces a greater flow of gastric juices.
From the commencement of the treatment , a warm water enema should be used daily, for about
a week, to cleanse the bowels. If constipation is habitual, all steps should be taken for its
eradication. The patient should be given daily a dry friction and sponge bath. Application of heat,
through hot compressor or hot water bottle twice in the day either on an empty stomach or two
hours after meals , should also prove beneficial.
The patient should not undertake any hard physical and mental work. He should , however,
undertake breathing and other light exercises like walking, swimming, and golf. He should avoid
worries and mental tension.

NATURE CURE
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition characterised by an increase of pressure within the eye
ball, called intraocular pressure. It is similar to high blood pressure in the body. The condition is
therefore, also known as hypertension of the eye.
A certain amount of intraocular pressure is considered necessary, but too much can cause
damage to the eye and may result in vision loss. Glaucoma is the major cause of blindness
among adults today. One out of every eight blind persons is a victim of glaucoma. Far sighted
persons are more prone to develop this disease than near sighted ones.
Symptoms
The first symptom of glaucoma is the appearance of halos or coloured rings round distant
objects, when seen at night. In this condition, the iris is usually pushed forward, and the patient
often complains of constant pain in the region of the brow, near the temples and the cheeks.
Headaches are not uncommon. There is gradual impairment of vision as glaucoma develops,
and this may ultimately result in blindness if proper steps are not taken to deal with the disease
in the early stages.
Causes
Medical science regards severe eye-strain or prolonged working under bad lighting conditions as
the chief causes of glaucoma. But, in reality, the root cause of glaucoma is a highly toxic
condition of the system due to dietetic errors, a faulty life style and the prolonged use of
suppressive drugs for the treatment of other diseases. Eye-strain is only a contributory factor.
Glaucoma is also caused by prolonged stress and is usually a reaction of adrenal exhaustion.
The inability of the adrenal glands to produce aldosterone results in excessive loss of salt from
the body and a consequent accumulation of fluid in the tissues. In the region of the eyes, the
excess fluid causes the eye ball to harden losing its softness and resilience. Glaucoma has also
been associated with giddiness, sinus conditions, allergies, diabetes, hypoglycemia,
arteriosclerosis and an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system.
Treatment
The modern medical treatment for glaucoma is through surgery which relieves the internal
pressure in the eye due to excess fluid. This, however, does not remove the cause of the
presence of the excess fluid. Consequently, even after the operation, there is no guarantee
whatsoever that the trouble will not recur, or that it will not affect the other eye. The natural
treatment for glaucoma is same as that for any other condition associated with high toxicity and
is directed towards preserving whatever sight remains. If treated in the early stages, the results
are encouraging. Though cases of advanced glaucoma may be beyond a cure, even so certain
nutritional and other biological approaches can prove effective in controlling the condition and
preserving the remaining sight.
Certain foodstuff should be scrupulously avoided by patients suffering from glaucoma. Coffee in
particular, should be completely avoided because of its high caffeine content. Caffeine causes
stimulation of vasoconstrictors, elevating blood pressure and increasing blood flow to the eye.
Bear and tobacco, which can cause constriction of blood vessels, should also be avoided. Tea
should be taken only in moderation. The patient should not take excessive fluids, whether it is
juice, milk or water at any time. He may drink small amounts several times with at least one hour
intervals.
The diet of the patient suffering from glaucoma should be based on three basic food
groups,namely, seeds, nuts and grains ; vegetables and fruit, with emphasis on raw vitamin
C-rich foods, fresh fruits and vegetables. The breakfast may consist of oranges or grapes or any
other juicy fruits in season and a handful of raw nuts or seeds. A raw vegetable salad with olive

oil and lemon juice dressing, two or three whole wheat chappatis and a glass of buttermilk may
be taken for lunch. The dinner may comprise of steamed vegetables, butter and cottage cheese.
Certain nutrients have been found helpful in the treatment of glaucoma. It has been found that
the glaucoma patients are usually deficient in vitamins A, B,C, protein ,calcium and other
minerals. Nutrients such as calcium and B complex have proved beneficial in relieving the
intraocular condition. Many practitioners believe that intraocular pressure in glaucoma can be
lowered by vitamin C therapy. Dr. Michele Virno and his colleagues reported recently at a
meeting of the Roman Opthalmological Society in Rome, Italy, that the average person weighing
150 pounds be given 7000 mg. of ascorbic acid, five daily, acquired acceptable intraocular
pressure within 45 days. Symptoms such as mild stomach discomfort and diarrhoea from the
large doses of vitamin C were temporary and soon disappeared. It has also been suggested that
some calcium should always be taken with each dose of ascorbic acid to minimise any side
effects of the large dose.
The patient should undertake various methods of relaxing and strengthening the eyes. He
should avoid emotional stress and cultivate a tranquil, restful life style. He should also avoid
prolonged straining of the eyes such as occurs during excessive T.V. or movie watching and
excessive reading. The use of sun glasses should be avoided.

NATURE CURE
Gout
Gout refers to a certain form of inflammation of the joints and swellings of a recurrent type.
Although chronic in character, it breaks in acute attacks. It is a disease of the wealthy and chiefly
affects middle-aged men. Women, after menopause, are also sometimes affected by this
disease.
Gout was known to the physicians of ancient Greece and Rome. The classical description was
written in 1663 by Sydenham, himself a life-long sufferer , who clearly differentiated it from other
joint disorders. It was recognised in the 18th century that large enjoyable meals and the
consumption of alcoholic drinks were often the prelude to an attack of gout. This disease
affected many famous men in history, including Alexander the Great, Luther, Newton, Milton, Dr.
Johnson, Franklin and Louis XIV.
Symptoms
An attack of gout is usually accompanied by acute pain in the big toe, which becomes tender,
hot and swollen in a few hours. Usually, it is almost impossible to put any weight on the affected
foot during the acute stage of the disease. It may also similarly affect other joints such as the
knees, and the wrists, and sometimes more than one joint may be affected at a time. The attack
usually occurs at midnight or in the early hours of the morning, when the patient is suddenly
awakened. The acute attack generally lasts for a week or so. During this period the patient may
run a slight fever, and feel disinclined to eat. His general health generally remains unaffected.
The attack may occur again after several weeks or months. The interval becomes shorter if the
disease is not treated properly. The joint generally becomes damaged by arthritis. This is chronic
gout, in which chalky lumps of uric acid crystals remain in the joint and also form under the skin.
Another serious complication of gout is kidney stones containing uric acid, causing severe colic
pains in the stomach.
In some cases the kidneys become damaged and do not function properly. This is a serious
condition as the poisonous waste products which are normally removed by the kidneys
accumulate in the blood.
Causes
The chief cause of gout is the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, skin and kidneys. Uric
acid is an end product of the body’s chemical processes. Those affected by gout have a higher
level of uric acid than the normal, due either to the formation of increased or reduced amounts of
acid being passed out by the kidneys in the urine. This uric acid usually remains dissolved in the
blood. But when the blood becomes too full of it, the uric acid forms needle-shaped crystals in
the joints which bring about attacks of gout.
Heredity is an important factor in causing this disease and certain races are prone to gout. Other
causes include excessive intake of alcoholic drinks, regular eating of foods rich in protein and
carbohydrates and lack of proper exercise. Stress is also regarded as an important cause of
gout. During the alarm reaction, millions of body cells are destroyed and large quantities of uric
acid freed from these cells enter the tissues after being neutralised by sodium.
Treatment
For an acute attack, there is no better remedy than a fast. The patient should undertake a fast
for five to seven days on orange juice and water. Sometimes the condition may worsen in the
early stages of fasting when uric acid, dissolved by juices, is thrown into the bloodstream for
elimination. This usually clears up if fasting is continued. In severe cases, it is advisable to
undertake a series of short fasts for three days or so rather than one long fast. A warm water
enema should be used daily during the period of fasting to cleanse the bowels.
After the acute symptoms of gout have subsided, the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for a
Gout

furter three or four days. In this regimen, he should have three meals a day of juicy fruits such as
grapes, apples, pears, peaches, oranges and pineapple. After the all-fruit diet, the patient may
gradually embark upon the following diet :
Breakfast : Fruits such as oranges, apples, figs, apricot, mangoes, whole wheat bread or dalia
and milk or butter-milk.
Lunch : Steamed vegetables such as lettuce, beets, celery, water-cress, turnips,squash,
carrots, tomatoes, cabbage and potatoes, chappatis of whole wheat flour, cottage cheese and
butter-milk.
Dinner : Sprouts such as alfalfa and mung beans, a good-sized salad of raw vegetables such as
carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, whole wheat bread and butter.
The patient should avoid all purine and uric acid producing foods such as all meats, eggs, and
fish. Glandular meats are especially harmful. He should also avoid all intoxicating liquors, tea,
coffee, sugar, white flour and its products and all canned and processed foods. Spices and salts
should be used as little as possible.
The cherry, sweet or sour, is considered an effective remedy for gout. This was discovered by
Ludwig W. Blan Ph.D. some 35 years ago. Himself a gout sufferer, Blan Ph.D. some cherries to
be miraculously effective in his own case and published his own experience in a medical journal.
Subsequently, many people with gout used this simple therapy with great success. To start with,
the patient should consume about 15 to 25 cherries a day. Thereafter, about 10 cherries a day
will keep the ailment under control. While fresh cherries are best, canned cherries can also be
used with success.
Foods high in potassium such as potatoes, bananas, leafy green vegetables, beans and raw
vegetable juices are protective against gout. Carrot juice in combination with juices of beet and
cucumber, is especially valuable. 100 ml. each of beet and cucumber juices should be mixed in
300 ml. of carrot juice to make 500 ml. of combined juice.
The juice of French or string beans has also proved effective in the treatment of gout. About 150
ml. of this juice should be taken by the patient suffering from this disease. Raw potato juice and
fresh pineapple juices are also beneficial.
The feet should be bathed in Epsom salt foot bath twice daily. Half a pound to one pound of salt
may be added to a foot bath of hot water. Full Empsom salt baths should also be taken three
times a week. The baths may be reduced to two per week later. Cold packs at night, applied to
the affected joints, will be beneficial. Fresh air and outdoor exercise are also essential. The
patient should eliminate as much stress from his life as possible.

NATURE CURE
Headaches and Migraine
Headaches afflict almost everyone at some time or the other. Most headaches are functional,
caused by temporary upsets and are not related to any organic changes in the brain. A
headache is often nature’s warning that something is wrong somewhere in the body. The actual
pain, however, arises from irritation to nerve endings in the shoulder, neck and scalp muscles
and also in the smooth muscles encircling the blood vessels which serve these areas.
There are several types of headaches, with as many ways of treating them. Taking an aspirin or
tranquiliser may provide temporary relief but it does not remove the cause. Moreover, the
frequent use of pain-relievers causes nervous debility, weakens the heart and brings on other
complications.
The common causes of headaches are allergy, emotional reasons, eyestrain, high blood
pressure, hangover, infection, low blood sugar , nutritional deficiency, tension, the presence of
poisons and toxins in the body, and migraine. Allergies, an often unsuspected cause of
headache, vary in different individuals. The foods to which some people are allergic and which
can trigger headaches are milk and milk products, chocolates, chicken liver, alcohol and strong
cheese. Sneezing and diarrhoea are further indications of an allergy .
Intense emotions often cause headaches. Many people who outwardly appear to have a
pleasant disposition may actually be simmering about a job, or may bear resentment towards a
person or something. This hidden hostility may manifest itself as headache. It is important,
therefore, that negative feelings should not be bottled up, but should find some safe means of
expressions.
Eye-strain is a common cause of headache. IN such cases, an eye specialist should be
consulted and proper treatment taken. Simple eye exercises such as moving the eyes up and
down and from side to side, palming, rotating the head, with neck outstretched, forward and
backward three times, then thrice clockwise and thrice anti-clockwise , can relieve eye-strain.
High blood pressure can cause pounding headaches. The headache usually starts at the back of
the head on getting up in the morning. A safe method of treatment for this is to immerse your
legs to calf-level in a tub of hot water for 15 to 20 minutes. This draws the blood away from the
head and down to the feet, giving relief from the headache.
Many people get a severe headache after consuming alcohol in excess. Alcohol causes the
blood vessels to swell, resulting in a painful headache. The best treatment for this is to avoid
excessive consumption of alcohol. A hangover headache can be avoided by taking a vitamin B-1
( thiamine) tablet with the drink.
Headaches may occur if there is an infection, such as a cold, virus and fever . Here, it is the
infection that should be tackled. Vitamin C therapy is the best all round method. For a cold, high
doses of vitamin C should be taken at hourly intervals with the appearance of the first symptoms
like a sore throat, runny nose, etc. Vitamin C has worked miracles, and is considered a natural
antibiotic.
Low blood sugar is one of the causes of irritability and headache. Sugar is not a cure for low
blood sugar, though it may raise the blood sugar temporarily and make one feel better for a
while. Low blood sugar is the result of an abused pancreas which over stimulates the production
of insulin in the body. It can be controlled by eating smaller meals at short intervals rather than
the standard three large meals daily. The intake of carbohydrates should be cut down to the
minimum and coffee should be eliminated as it over stimulates the pancreas.
A lack of iron, resulting in anaemia, is a common cause of headache. The headache sometimes
appears before the onset of anaemia, due to a chronic iron deficiency. Brewer’s yeast is an
excellent source of iron and anaemia can easily be prevented by taking a few teaspoons daily.
Headache can also be brought on due to the deficiency of B vitamins , namely pantothenic acid,
B-1 (thiamine) , B-12 and B-6 ( pyridoxine) and can be cured by taking these vitamins.
When taking any of the B-vitamin factors seperately, it is absolutely essential to add the entire
Headaches and Migraine
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap53.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:25:24 PM]
B-complex range to one’s diet in some form such as Brewer’s yeats, liver,wheat germ, etc.,
otherwise too much of one factor can throw the other factors into imbalance, resulting in other
problems. Actually, the entire B complex group itself serves as protection against headaches,
including migraine.
Tension headaches are probably the most common of all, and are caused by emotional conflicts
which result in stress. Stress causes the muscles of the shoulder, neck and scalp to tense
unconsciously. Persons who are irritable, tense and lose their temper quickly usually get this
type of headache. It increases gradually and passes off with the release of tension. One should
try to relieve the stress which produces the headache.
Poisons and toxins admitted into the body through food, beverages and water, as well as
through breathing, polluted air, can cause any number of disturbances. A headache may be the
first warning that a poison has entered the body. Additives in foods and in many cases,
cosmetics, skin and hair products are also serious offenders in bringing on headaches. IN
addition, there are toxic air contaminants which are too numerous to mention.
Migraine Headache
Migraine is an ancient and formidable malady. It bothered such distinguished persons as Caesar
and Freud. It has assumed alarming proportions under modern conditions of living and is now
believed to afflict about 10 per cent of the world’s population.
Migraine can be defined as a paroxysmal affection, accompanied by severe headache, generally
on one side of the head and associated with disorders of the digestion, the liver and the vision. It
usually occurs when a person is under great mental tension or has suddenly got over that state.
Migraine is also known as „sick headache” because nausea and vomiting occasionally
accompany the excruciating pain which lasts for as long as three days. Migraine usually gives
warning before it strikes : black spots or a brilliant zig-zag line appears before the eyes or the
patient has blurring of vision or has part of his vision blanked out. When the headache occurs,
the patient may feel tingling, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg.
Migraine sufferers have what is known as a „migrainous personality „. They are compulsive
workers and perfectionists, who feel that they have to do everything right away. When they
complete a task, they are suddenly laid down from a state of temporary tension to a feeling of
utmost relief. Then comes the migraine. It is a purely physiological process. The head and neck
muscles, reacting to continuous stress, become overworked. The tightened muscles squeeze
the arteries and reduce blood flow. When a person relaxes suddenly, the constricted muscles
expand, stretching the walls of the blood-vessel. With every heart beat, the blood being pushed
through this vessels expands them further and causes incredible pain.
When a headache strikes, one should stay on one’s feet in the daytime and do simple chores
which do not require too much concentration or walk, move around and get some fresh air.
The best remedy to prevent headaches is to build up physical resistance through proper
nutrition, exercise and constructive thinking. As a first step, the patient should undertake a short
fast. During the fast, citrus fruit juices, diluted with water may be taken six times daily. By taking
the load of digestion, the patient will at once save nervous energy which can be utilised for more
important purposes. The blood and lymph will also be relieved of a great burden. After a short
fast, the diet should be fixed in such a way as to put the least possible strain on the digestion.
Breakfast should consist of fruits, both fresh and dried. Lunch should consist largely of protein
foods. Starchy foods such as whole wheat bread, cereals, rice or potatoes should be taken at
dinner along with raw salads. Spices, tomatoes, sour buttermilk and oily foodstuffs should be
avoided. Drinking a glass of water ( warm water in winter and cool water in summer) mixed with
a teaspoonful of honey the first thing in the morning, is also a good remedy.
Water Treatment
There are certain water applications which help relieve headaches. Copious drinking of water
can help , as do the cleansing enema with water temperature at 98.6 o F, the hot foot bath, a
cold throat pack, frequent applications of towels wrung out from very hot water to the back of the
neck, a cold compress at 40 o to 60o F applied to the head and face or an alternate spinal
compress. Hot fomentations over the abdominal region just before retiring relieve headaches
due to stomach and liver upsets.
Yogic kriyas like jalneti and kunjal, pranayamas like anuloma-viloma, shitali and sitkari and

are useful in the treatment of headaches.

NATURE CURE
Heart Disease
The term coronary heart disease covers a group of clinical syndromes arising particularly from
failure of the coronary arteries to supply sufficient blood to the heart. They include angina
peactoris, coronary thrombosis or heart attack and sudden death without infarction.
There has been a marked increase in the incidence of heart disease in recent years. Heart
attacks have become the number one killer in Western countries. They rank third in India, after
tuberculosis and infections. The disease affects people of all ages and both sexes, although it is
more common in men than in women, especially among those aged 40-60 years.
The heart, the most vital organ in the body, is a muscle about the size of a clenched fist. It starts
working even before birth inside the womb. Weighing less than 350 grms, it pumps about 4,300
gallons of blood per day through the body and supplies oxygen and nourishment to all the
organs. It beats 1,00,000 times a day, continuously pumping the blood through more than
60,000 miles of tiny blood vessels. The heart, in turn, needs blood for its nourishment which is
supplied by coronary arteries Coronary arteries are so called because they are arranged rather
like a crown or carona. In case of strain, etc., the heart needs more blood and the arteries, under
normal conditions, adjust themselves to the increased flow.
In the event of narrowing or hardening of the arteries on account of their getting plugged with
fatty substances, the flow of blood is restricted. The heart then does not get sufficient oxygen.
This condition is known as ischaemia of the heart or angina pectoris. In this condition , exercise
or excitement provokes severe chest pain and so it limits the patient’s physical activity. It serves
as a warning to slow down and prompt preventive measures will prevent a heart attack.
If the narrowed arteries get blocked due to a clot or thrombus inside them, causing death of that
portion of the heart which depends upon the choked arteries, it is called a heart attack or
coronary thrombosis. It may lead to death or heal, leaving a scar. Patients with healed lesions
may be severely disabled or may be able to resume normal life with restrictions in their physical
activities.
Symptoms
A common symptom of heart disease is shortness of breath which is caused by the blood being
deprived of the proper amount of oxygen. Another common symptom is chest pain or pain down
either arm. Other symptoms are palpitation, fainting, emotional instability, cold hands and feet,
frequent perspiration and fatigue. All these symptoms may be caused by many other disorders.
Appropriate tests and studies are, therefore, essential to establish the true nature of these
symptoms.
Causes
The basic causes of heart diseases are wrong dietary habits, faulty style of living and various
stresses. The famous Framingham Heart Study of the National Heart and Lung Institute
identified seven major risk factors in coronary heart disease. These are : (i) elevated blood levels
of cholesterol, triglycerides and other fatty substances ( ii) elevated blood pressure (iii) elevated
blood uric acid levels (mainly caused by high protein diet), (iv) certain metabolic disorders,
notably diabetes, (v) obesity, (vi) smoking, and (vii) lack of physical exercise. Each or a
combination of these risk factors can contribute to heart disease. Most of them are of dietary
origin. These risk factors can be controlled by changing one’s life style and readjusting the diet.
Constant worry and tension stimulates the adrenal glands to produce more adrenaline and
cartisons. This also contributes to constricted arteries, high blood pressure and increased work
for the heart.
Treatment
The fundamental conditioning factor in all heart diseases is the diet. A corrective diet designed to
Heart Disease

alter body chemistry and improve the quality of general nutritional intake can, in many cases,
reverse the degenerative changes which have occurred in the heart and blood vessels.
The diet should be lacto-vegetarian, low in sodium and calories. It should consist of high quality,
natural organic foods, with emphasis on whole grains, seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables. Foods
which should be eliminated are all white flour products, sweets, chocolates, canned foods in
syrup, soft drinks, squashes, all hard fats of animal origin such as butter, cream and fatty meats.
Salt and sugar should be reduced substantially. The patient should also avoid tea, coffee,
alcohol and tobacco.
The essential fatty acids which reduce serum cholesterol levels and minimise the risk of
arteriosclerosis can be obtained from sunflower seed oil, corn oil or safflower oil. Several studies
have indicated that garlic can reduce the cholesterol level in persons whose body normally
cannot regulate the cholesterol fractions. Other important cholesterol lowering foods are alfalfa
and yogurt. Lecithin helps prevent fatty deposits in arteries. Best food sources are unrefined,
raw, crude vegetable oils, seeds and grains.
Fruits and vegetables in general are highly beneficial in the treatment of heart disease. Seasonal
fruits are quite effective heart tonics. Apples especially contain heart stimulating properties and
the patients suffering from the weakness of heart should make liberal use of apples and apple
jams. Fresh grapes, pineapples, oranges,custard apples, pomegranaes and coconut water also
tone up the heart. Grapes are effective in heart pain and palpitation of the heart and the disease
can be rapidly controlled if the patient adopts an exclusive grapes diet for few days. Grape juice,
especially will be valuable when one is actually suffering from a heart attack.
Indian gooseberry or amla is considered an effective home remedy for heart disease. It tones up
the functions of all the organs of the body and builds up health by destroying the heterogeneous
elements and renewing lost energy.
Another excellent home remedy for heart disease is onions. They are useful in normalising the
percentage of blood cholesterol by oxidising excess cholesterol. One teaspoon of raw onion
juice first thing in the morning will be highly beneficial in such cases.
Honey has marvellous properties to prevent all sorts of heart disease. It tones up the heart and
improves the circulation. It is also effective in cardiac pain and palpitation of the heart. One
tablespoonful daily after food is sufficient to prevent all sorts of heart troubles.
Patients with heart disease should increase their intake of foods rich in vitamin E, as this vitamin
promotes the functioning of the heart by improving oxygeneration of the cells. It also improves
the circulation and muscle strength. Many whole meal products and green vegetables,
particularly outer leaves of cabbage are good sources of vitamin E. The vitamin B group is
important for heart and circulatory disorders. The best sources of vitamin B are whole grains.
Vitamin C is also essential as it protects against spontaneous breaches in capillary walls which
can lead to heart attacks. It also guards against high blood cholesterol. The stress of anger, fear,
disappointment and similar emotions can raise blood fat and cholesterol levels immediately but
this reaction to stress can do little harm if the diet is adequate in vitamin C and pantothenic acid.
The richest sources of vitamin C are citrus fruits.
The following is the suggested diet for persons suffering from hypertension or some disorder of
the heart :
On rising : Warm water with lemon juice and honey or fresh fruit juice of apple,grapes, orange,
pineapple.
Breakfast : Fresh fruit such as apples, grapes, pears, peaches, pineapple, orange, melons, one
or two slices whole meal toast, yogurt, skimmed milk or soya milk.
Mid-morning : Fresh fruitjuice or coconut water.
Lunch : Combination salad of vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, endive, carrots, cucumber,
beetroot, tomato, onion and garlic. One or two slices of whole meal bread or chappatis, curd,
fresh grapes and other fruits in season.
Mid-afternoon : One or two wholemeal biscuits and fruit juice.
Dinner : Fresh fruit or vegetable juice or soup, two lightly cooked vegetables, one or two whole
Heart Disease

wheat tappets.
The patient should also pay attention to other laws of nature for health building such as taking
moderate exercise, getting proper rest and sleep, adopting the right mental attitude and getting
fresh air and drinking pure water.
Water Treatment
The use of an ice bag on the spinal area between the second and tenth thoracic vertebrae for 30
minutes three times a week, a hot compress applied to the left side of the neck for 30 minutes
every alternate day and massage of the abdomen and upper back muscles are water treatments
which are beneficial in cases of heart disease.
Hot foot and hand baths are excellent for relieving the pain of angina pectoris. To this may be
added hot packs on the chest over the heart for one minute and a cold pack applied alternately
for five minutes.
Asanas such as shavasana, vajrasana, and gomukhasna, yogic kriyas like jalneti and
pranayamas such as shitali, sitkari and bhramari are also helpful in providing relief to heart
patients.

NATURE CURE
High Blood Cholesterol
Cholesterol, a yellowish fatty substance, is one of the essential ingredients of the body. Although
it is essential to life, it has a bad reputation, being a major villain in heart disease. Every person
with a high blood cholesterol is regarded as a potential candidate for heart attack, a stroke or
high blood pressure.
Cholesterol is a building block of the outer membrane of cells. It is the principal ingredient in the
digestive juice bile, in the fatty sheaths that insulate nerves and in sex hormones, namely,
estrogen and androgen. It performs several functions such as transportation of fat, providing
defense mechanism, protecting red blood cells and muscular membrane of the body.
Most of the cholesterol found in the body is produced in the liver. However, about 20 to 30
percent generally comes from the foods we eat. Some cholesterol is also secreted into the
intestinal tract in bile and becomes mixed with the dietary cholesterol. The percentage of
ingested cholesterol absorbed seemed to average 40 to 50 percent of the intake. The body
excretes extra cholesterol from the system through bowels and kidneys.
The amount of cholesterol is measured in milligrams per 100 millimeters of blood. Normal level
of cholesterol varies between 150- 250 mg. per 100 ml. Persons with atherosclerosis have
uniformly high blood cholesterol usually above 250 mg. per 100 ml.
In blood, cholesterol is bound to certain proteins – lipoproteins which have an affinity for blood
fats, known as lipids. There are two main types of lipoproteins : a low density one (LDL) and a
high density one (HDL). The low density lipoprotein is the one which is considered harmful and
is associated with cholesterol deposits in blood vessels. The higher the ratio of LDL to the total
cholesterol, the greater the risk of arterial damage and heart disease. The HDL on the other
hand plays a salutary role by helping remove cholesterol from circulation and thereby reduce the
risk of heart disease.
Cholesterol has been the subject of extensive study by researchers since 1769, when French
chemist, Polutier de La Salle purified the soapy-looking yellowish substance. The results of the
most comprehensive research study, commissioned by the National Heart and Lung Institute of
the U.S.A. were announced about four years ago. The 10-year study, considered most elaborate
and most expensive research project in medical history, indicates that heart disease is directly
linked to the level of cholesterol in the blood and that lowering cholesterol significantly reduces
the incidence of heart attacks. It has been estimated that for every one per cent reduction in
cholesterol, there is a decrease in the risk of heart attack by two per cent.
Causes
Hyperchjolsterolaemia or increase in cholestrol is mainly a digestive problem caused by rich
foods such as fried foods, excessive consumption of milk and its products like ghee,butter and
cream,white flour, sugar, cakes, pastries, biscuits, cheese, ice cream as well as non-vegetarian
foods like meat, fish and eggs. Other causes of increase in cholesterol are irregularity in habits,
smoking and drinking alcohol.
Stress has been found to be a major cause of increased level of cholesterol. Adrenaline and
cortison are both released in the body under stress. This, in turn, produces a fat metabolising
reaction. Adrenal glands of executive type aggressive persons produce more adrenaline than
the easy going men. Consequently they suffer six to eight times more heart attacks than the
relaxed men.
The Cure
To reduce the risk of heart disease, it is essential to lower the level of LDL and increase the level
of HDL. This can be achieved by improving the diet and changing the life style. Diet is the most
important factor. As a first step, foods rich in cholesterol and saturated fats, which lead to
increase in LDL level, should be reduced to the minimum. Cholesterol -rich foods are eggs,
High Blood Cholesterol
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap55.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:26:08 PM]
organ meats and most cheese, butter, bacon, beef, whole milk, virtually all foods of animal origin
as well as two vegetable oils, namely coconut and palm, are high in saturated fats and these
should be replaced by polyunsaturated fats such as corn, safflower, sobayeans and sesame oils
which tend to lower the level of LDL. There are monosaturated fats such as olive and peanut oils
which have more or less neutral effect on the LDL level.
The American Heart Association recommends that men should restrict themselves to 300 mg. of
cholesterol a day and women to 275 mg. It also prescribes that fat should not make up more
than 30 per cent of the diet and not more than one third of this should be saturated. The
Association, however, urges a somewhat strict regimen for those who already have elevated
levels of cholesterol.
The amount of fibre in the diet also influences the cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol can be
lowered by taking diets rich in fibres. The most significant sources of dietary fibre are
unprocessed wheat bran, whole cereals such as wheat , rice, barley, rye; legumes such as
potato, carrot, beet and turnips; fruits like mango and guava and green vegetables such as
cabbage, lady’s finger, lettuce and celery. Oat bran is especially beneficial in lowering LDL
cholesterol.
Lecithin, also a fatty food substance and the most abundant of the phospholipids, is highly
beneficial in case of increase in cholesterol level. It has the ability to break up cholesterol into
small particles which can be easily handled by the system. With sufficient intake of lecithin,
cholesterol cannot build up against the walls of the arteries and veins. It also increases the
production of bile acids made from cholesterol, thereby reducing its amount in the blood. Egg
yolk, vegetable oils, whole grain cereals, soyabeans and unpasteurised milk are rich sources of
lecithin. The cells of the body are also capable of synthesizing it as needed, if several of the B
vitamins are present.
Diets high in vitamin B6, cholin and inositol supplied by wheat germ, yeast, or B vitamins
extracted from bran have been particularly effective in reducing blood cholesterol. Sometimes
vitamin E elevates blood lecithin and reduces cholesterol presumably by preventing the essential
fatty acids from being destroyed by oxygen.
Persons with high blood cholesterol level should drink at least eight to 10 glasses of water every
day as regular drinking of water stimulates the excretory activity of the skin and kidneys. This in
turn facilitates elimination of excessive cholesterol from the system. Regularly drinking of
coriander (dhania) water also helps lower blood cholesterol as it is a good diuretic and
stimulates the kidneys. It is prepared by boiling dry seeds of coriander and straining the
decoction after cooling.
Regular exercise also plays an important role in lowering LDL cholesterol and in raising the level
of protective HDL. It also promotes circulation and helps maintain the blood flow to every part of
the body. Jogging or brisk walking, swimming, bicycling and playing badminton are excellent
forms of exercise.
Yogasnas are highly beneficial as they help increase perspiratory activity and stimulate
sebaceous glands to effectively secrete accumulated or excess cholesterol from the muscular
tissue. Asanas like ardhamatsyaendrasana, shalabhasana, padmasanaand vajrasana are useful
in lowering blood cholesterol by increasing systemic activity.
Hydrotherapy can be successfully employed in reducing excess cholesterol. Cold hip baths for
10 minutes taken twice every day have proved beneficial. Steam baths are also helpful except in
patients suffering from hypertension and other circulatory disorders. Mud packs, applied over the
abdomen improve digestion and assimilation. They improve the functioning of the liver and other
digestive organs and activate kidneys and the intestines to promote better excretion.

High Blood Cholesterol

NATURE CURE
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure or hypertension – to give it the correct medical term – is regarded as the
silent killer. It is a disease of the modern age. The fast pace of life and the mental and physical
pressures caused by the industrial and metropolitan environments give rise to psychological
tensions. Worry and mental tension increases the adrenaline in the blood stream and this, in
turn, causes the pressure of the blood to rise.
The blood which circulates through the arteries within the body supplies every cell with
nourishment and oxygen. The force exert by the heart as it pumps the blood into the large
arteries creates a pressure within them and this is called blood pressure. A certain level of blood
pressure is thus essential to keep the blood circulating in the body. But when the pressure
becomes too high, it results in hypertension which is caused by spasm or narrowing of the small
blood vessels, known as capillaries, throughout the body. This narrowing puts more stress on
the heart to pump blood through the blood vessels. Hence, the pressure of the blood to get
through rises in proportion to the pressure on the heart.
The blood pressure is measured with the instrument called sphygmomanometer in millimeters of
mercury. The highest pressure reached during each heart beat is called systolic pressure and
the lowest between the two beats is known as diastolic pressure. The first gives the pressure of
the contraction of the heart as it pushes the blood on its journey through the body and indicates
the activity of the heart. The second represents the pressure present in the artery when the heart
is relaxed and shows the condition of the blood vessels. The blood pressure level considered
normal is 120/70, but may go up to 140 /90 and still be normal. Within this range, the lower the
reading, the better. Blood pressure between 140/90 and 160/95 is considered border line area.
From 160/96 to 180/114 , it is classed as moderate hypertension, while 180/115 and upward is
considered severe. A raised diastolic pressure is considered more serious than the raised
systolic pressure as it has a serious long-term effect. The higher the pressure the greater the
danger it causes to the wall.
Symptoms
Mild and moderate hypertension may not produce any symptoms for years. The first symptoms
may appear in the form of pain toward the back of the head and neck on waking in the morning,
which soon disappears. Some of the other usual symptoms of hypertension are dizziness, aches
and pains in the arms, shoulder region, leg, back, etc., palpitations, pain in the heart region,
frequent urination, nervous tension and fatigue, crossness, emotional upset, tiredness and
wakefulness.
A person suffering from high blood pressure cannot do any serious work, feels tired and out of
sorts all the time. He may experience difficulty in breathing and suffer from dyspepsia.
Hypertension, if not eliminated, may cause heart attacks or strokes or other disability conditions
such as detachment of the terina.
Causes
The most important causes of hypertension are stress and a faulty style of living. People who
are usually tense suffer from high blood pressure, especially when under stress. If the stress
continues for a longperiod, the pressure may become permanently raised and may not become
even after removal of the stress. An irregular life style, smoking and an excessive intake of
intoxicants, tea, coffee, cola drinks, refined foods, destroy the natural pace of life. The expulsion
of waste and poisonous matter from the body is prevented and the arteries and the veins
become slack. hardening of the arteries , obesity, diabetes and severe constipation also lead to
hypertension. Other causes of high blood pressure are excessive intake of pain killers, common
table salt, food allergies and eating a high fat, low fibre diet, processed foods deficient in
essential nutrients.
High Blood Pressure
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap56.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:26:26 PM]
The kidneys play an important role in controlling blood pressure through secretion of rennin, a
natural chemical. If increased rennin is secreted by the kidneys, more salts are retained in the
body, which leads to an increase in the volume of circulating blood and consequently to an
increase in the blood pressure. Repeated infections and inflammation in the kidneys can also
give rise to hypertension.
The Cure
The modern medical treatment of high blood pressure is highly unscientific as it brings down the
pressure by drugs without making any effort to remove the underlying causes. Drugs may
temporarily reduce blood pressure,but they do not cure the condition and are harmful in the
ultimate analysis. All drugs against hypertension without exception, are toxic and have
distressing side effects. The safest way to cure hypertension is to remove the real cause. The
natural way of dealing with it is to eliminate the poisons from the system which cause it. Persons
with high blood pressure should always follow a well-balanced routine of proper diet, exercise
and rest. Diet is of primary importance. Meat and eggs cause the blood pressure to rise more
than any other food. The pressure is lowered and blood clotting diminished by partaking of a
higher fruit content, lower protein and non-flesh diet. A natural diet consisting of fresh fruits and
vegetables, instead of a traditional diet, is helpful in getting rid of the poisons from the body. A
hypertension patient should start the process of healing by living on an exclusive fruit-diet for
atleast a week, and take fruits at five-hourly intervals thrice in the day. Oranges, apples, pears,
mangoes, guava, pineapples, raspberry, water-melon are the best diet in such cases. Bananas
and jack fruit should not be taken. Milk may be taken after a week of ‘fruits only’ diet. The milk
should be fresh and should be boiled only once. The patient can be permitted cereals in his food
after two weeks.
Vegetables are also good for the patient of hypertension. They should preferably be taken raw. If
they are cooked, it should be ensured that their natural juices are not burnt in the process of
cooking. Vegetables like cucumber, carrot, tomatoes, onion, radish, cabbage and spinach are
best taken in their raw form. They may be cut into small pieces and sprinkled with a little salt and
the juice of a lemon added to them so as to make them more palatable.
Garlic is regarded as one of the most effective remedies to lower blood pressure. The pressure
and tension are reduced because it has the power to ease the spasms of the small arteries.
Garlic also slows the pulse and modifies the heart rhythm besides relieving the symptoms of
dizziness, numbness, shortness of breath and the formation of gas within the digestive tract. The
average dosage should be two to three capsules a day to make a dent in the blood pressure.
Indian gooseberry (amla) is another effective food remedy for high blood pressure. A
tablespoonful each of fresh amla juice and honey mixed together should be taken every morning
in this condition. Lemon is also regarded as a valuable food to control high blood pressure. It is a
rich source of vitamin P which is found both in the juice and peel of the fruit. This vitamin is
essential for preventing capillary fragility.
Watermelon is another valuable safeguard against high blood pressure. It was proved in recent
experiments that a substance extracted from watermelon seeds has a definite action in dilating
the blood vessels, which results in lowering the blood pressure.
Recent studies have revealed an important link between dietary calcium and potassium and
hypertension. Researchers have found that people who take potassium-rich diets have a low
incidence of hypertension even if they do not control their salt-intake. They have also found that
people with hypertension do not seem to get much calcium in the form of dairy products. The
two essential nutrients seem to help the body throw off excess sodium and are involved in
important functions which control the working of the vascular system. Potassium is found in
abundance in fruits and vegetables and calcium in dairy products.
Exercise plays an important role in curing hypertension. Walking is an excellent form of exercise.
It helps to relieve tension, builds up the muscles and aids in the circulation of blood. As the blood
pressure shows signs of abating, more exercise like bicycling, swimming, jogging should be
taken. Yogic asanas such as surya namaskar, makrasana,matsyasana, vajrasana,
ardhapadmasana, pavan-muktasana, shavasana and simple pranayama like anuloma-viloma
and abdominal breathing are beneficial. All asanas should, however, be discontinued except
shavasana if the blood pressure is above 200 milimeters.
High Blood Pressure

Water Treatment
Prolonged neutral bath daily for an hour or so at 90 o to 95 o will be beneficial. Cold compress
should be kept on the head during this bath. Other water treatments include hot foot or leg bath
for 10 minutes, hot compress over the heart replacing it as bath cools down.
Persons suffering from hypertension must ensure at least eight hours of restful sleep, because
proper rest is an important aspect of the treatment. Most important of all, the patient must avoid
over-straining, worries, tension, anger and haste. He must try to be cheerful and develop a
contented mind. The natural treatment may take sometime but it is the safest and best way to
get rid of this disease.

High Blood Pressure
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap56.htm (3 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:26:26 PM]
NATURE CURE
Hydrocele
Hydrocele is a common condition of men in which there is accumulation of fluid in the tunica
vaginalis, the sac which surrounds the testicle. It may occur at any age, but old men are usually
more prone to the condition.
The testicles are the major sex glands in the male. Each gland is composed of myriads of coiled
tubes in which the sperm cells are produced. It is the function of these cells to fertilize the ovum
during sexual intercourse.
Symptoms
The main symptom of hydrocele is painless, smooth and elastic enlargement of the scrotum. In
some cases swelling is so much as to cause a great deal of inconvenience interfering greatly
with walking. Consequently it may produce a great deal of pressure upon the testicles and the
spermatic vessels causing a detrimental effect upon the generative system. The hydrocele is
translucent. If a bright light is placed upon it in the dark the whole swelling lights up If the
swelling become painful, it usually denotes that it has become infected.
Causes
The apparent cause of hydrocele may be a knock or a strain but toxic condition of the system is
usually at the root of the matter. This systemic toxicity results from wrong dietary habits, general
wrong living and suppressive medical treatment of former diseases. Sexual excess and abuse is
also an important factor in some cases, through the degeneration of the sex organism which
follows. Sometimes gonorrhoel infection, obstruction of the abdominal vein, tuberculosis and
dropsy may be the cause of this condition.
Hydrocele sometimes exists at birth. In this case swelling is seen when the infant is an upright
position and disappears when the infant is laid upon its back. Hydrocele usually disappears by
itself in infants.
Treatment
Tapping is the method usually resorted to for removal of the fluid in hydrocele. This, however,
does not remove the cause of the trouble but only its effects. The correct way in which the
condition can be really dealt with successfully is through constitutional treatment. Such a
treatment should aim at removing the underlying toxicity of the system which is at the root of the
trouble.
The sufferer from hydrocele should begin with an exclusive fresh fruit diet for seven to ten days.
In this regimen, he should have three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears,
grapes, grape-fruit, oranges, pineapple, peaches, melon or any other juicy fruit in season but no
bananas or dried, stewed or tinned fruit, and no other foodstuff whatever. For drinks, lemon
water unsweetened or water either hot or cold may be taken.
During this period the bowels should be cleansed daily with a warm water enema. If constipation
is habitual, all steps should be taken for its eradication.. After all all-fruit diet the patient may
adopt the following regimen :
Breakfast : Fresh fruit as obtainable, or grated raw carrot or other raw salad-stuff, prunes or
other dried fruits, if desired, and a cup of milk.
Lunch : Steamed vegetables, as obtainable, with either a poached or scrambled egg or a
vegetarian savory. Stewed fruit or a baked apple may be taken for dessert.
Dinner : A good-sized raw salad, of any suitable vegetable as obtainable, with whole wheat
bread and butter, and prunes or other dried fruits as dessert.
Hydrocele
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap57.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:26:37 PM]
Further short periods on the all-fruit diet should be undertaken at monthly intervals as required,
for two or three consecutive days each time. The diet factor is of the utmost importance and
fruits and salads must form the main basis of the future dietary . Alcohol, strong tea, coffee
condiments, pickles and sauces should be avoided. Smoking, where habitual, should be given
up.
Water Treatment
Treatment through water is extremely beneficial in curing hydrocele. Cold hip baths twice daily in
the morning and the evening, for 10 minutes each time, are specially valuable. For a cold hip
bath, an ordinary tub may be used. It should be filled with cold water. The patient should sit in
the tub, keeping the legs outside.
A hot Epsom-salts bath is also very useful in the treatment of hydrocele and should be taken
once or twice weekly, where possible. This bath is prepared as outlined in chapter 3 on
Therapeutic Baths.
Every effort should be made to build up the general health level to the highest degree. Fresh air
and outdoor exercise are essential to the success of this treatment. Sun and air bathing, where
possible, should be undertaken. All habits, and practices tending to lower the tone of the body
should be studiously avoided ; strain should be avoided as far as possible. The wearing of a
suspensory bandage is often useful.
Unless the condition persists for a long time, the foregoing treatment should soon begin to show
its beneficial effects, and the whole general health-level of the sufferer will be greatly enhanced
at the same time.

NATURE CURE
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia or blood sugar is a disorder of blood sugar metabolism which may result in
diabetes in later life. It is a condition in which the pancreas produces too much insulin, causing
the blood sugar to drop.
Hypoglycemia sometimes occurs in healthy people some hours after a meal rich in
carbohydrates, especially following muscular exertion. It is frequently found in the first few days
of life, especially among premature infants.
Hypoglycemia is a serious disorder as the brain cannot function properly when the blood sugar
level is too low. Like all other organs of the body, the brain receive its fuel from the diet. But it
can use only the sugar produced by the body from carbohydrates. Unlike many of the body
tissues, it cannot store its fuel. Therefore, it must get a constant supply of sugar through the
bloodstream. Mental disturbances caused by subnormal blood sugar levels can seriously affect
a person’s life.
Symptoms
A craving for sweets and starches in excessive amount between meals is the first sign of low
blood sugar level . When the blood sugar level falls much below normal, symptoms such as
nervousness, irritability, fatigue, depression, disturbed vision and headache appear. Other
symptoms are sweating, trembling, numbness, absent-mindedness, dizziness, palpitation of the
heart and some sexual disturbances. Most hypoglycemia patients feel hungry and eat frequently
to get over the feeling of weakness and emotional irritability. They feel tense if they have to go
without food for several hours.
Causes
Hypoglycemia is usually caused by an excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and sugar
foods. These substances cause the pancreas, the adrenal gland and the liver to lose their ability
to handle the sugar properly. Other causes of low blood sugar are a tumour, disturbed
functioning of the liver, pituitary gland or adrenal glands. Stress intensifies this condition as it
weakens the adrenal glands and starts a faulty pattern of glucose intolerance.
The Cure
The high animal protein diet generally prescribed for hypoglycemia is not suitable for this
disorder. It may help control the condition temporarily, but it is harmful in many other respects
and may result in other diseases like heart trouble,arteries, kidney problems and cancer.
The ideal diet for hypoglycemia should be based on three basic food groups,namely grains,
seeds and nuts, vegetable oils. Seeds, nuts and grains should be the main constituents of the
diet. Seeds and nuts should be taken in their raw form. Grains, in the form of cereals,should be
cooked. Cooked grains are digested slowly and release sugar into the blood gradually six to
eight hours after meals. This will keep the blood sugar level normal and constant for a long
period.
Persons suffering from low blood sugar should take six to eight small meals a day instead of two
or three large ones. Eating raw nuts and seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds or drinking
milk, butter milk or fruit juices between meals will be highly beneficial. All refined and processed
foods , white sugar, white flour and their by-products should be completely eliminated from the
diet. Coffee, alcohol and soft drinks should also be avoided. The consumption of salt should be
reduced as an excessive intake of salt causes loss of blood potassium, which causes blood
sugar to drop. The following is the menu suggested for hypoglycemia.
On rising : Fresh fruits such as apples,peaches, melons, berries, avocado or a glass of fresh
fruit juice.
Hypoglycemia
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap58.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:26:46 PM]
Breakfast : Nuts, seeds, fruit, cottage cheese and buttermilk.
Mid-morning : Fruit, fruit juice or tomato juice.
Lunch : Cooked cereals and milk.
Mid-afternoon : A glass of fruit or vegetable juice or a snack consisting of nuts.
Dinner : Vegetable salad with a cooked vegetable from among those allowed, one or two slices
of whole wheat bread,cottage cheese and butter milk.
On retiring : A glass of milk or buttermilk.
Vegetables which can be taken in hypoglycemia are asparagus, beets, carrots, cucumbers,
egg-plants, peas, radishes, tomatoes, spinach, kale, lettuce, beans, baked potatoes. Fruits
which can be taken are apples, apricots, berries, peaches, and pineapples. Consumption of
citrus fruits should be limited.
Foods rich in vitamin C , E and B-complex are highly beneficial in the treatment of low blood
sugar. Vitamins C and B increase tolerance to sugar and carbohydrates and help normalise
sugar metabolism. Pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6 help to build up adrenals which are
generally exhausted in persons with hypoglycemia. Vitamin E improves glycogen storage in the
muscles and tissues. The patient should take vitamin C in large doses from 2,000 to 5,000 mg.;
B6 50 mg. and vitamin E upto 1,600 lu daily.
Proper rest is essential for those suffering from low blood sugar. A tranquil mind is of utmost
importance in this condition. Nervous strain and anxiety should be relieved by simple methods of
meditation and relaxation. Yogasanas like vakrasana, bhujasana, halasana, sarbagasana and
shavasana and pranayama like kapalbhati and anuloma-viloma will be beneficial. A prolonged
neutral immersion bath is also helpful in relieving mental tension.

NATURE CURE
Indigestion
Indigestion or dyspepsia is one of the most common ailments today and is caused by dietetic
errors. It is a condition of the stomach in which digestive juices are incorrectly secreted, resulting
in discomfort.
The alimentary canal and the process of digestion begin at the mouth. The stomach, which is the
most abused organ of the body, looks like a pear-shaped pouch. It forms part of the digestive
tract which is a tube coiled in loops nearly 28 feet in length. It varies in size and position
depending on how much food it contains. An overloaded stomach tends to prevent the
diaphragm from functioning properly. It may also press on the heart.
Symptoms
Abdominal pain, a feeling of undue fullness after eating, heartburn, loss of appetite , nausea or
vomiting and excessive wind or gas are the usual symptoms of indigestion. Other symptoms
include a bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, foul breath and pain in the upper abdomen.
Causes
The feelings of discomfort and distress in the abdomen are often caused by overeating, eating
too rapidly or not chewing properly. Overeating or eating frequently produces a feverish state in
the system and overtaxes the digestive organs. It produces excessive acid and causes the
gastric mucus membrane to become congested. Hyperacidity is usually the result. Overeating
makes the work of stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels harder. When this food putrifies, its
poisons are absorbed back into the blood and consequently, the whole system is poisoned.
Many people gulp their food due to stress or hurry. When food is swallowed in large chunks, the
stomach has to work harder and more hydrocholoride is secreted. Eating too fast also causes
one to swallow air. These bad habits force some of the digestive fluids into the esophagus,
causing burning , a stinging sensation or a sour taste, giving an illusion of stomach acid.
Certain foods, especially if they are not properly cooked, cause indigestion. Some people react
unfavourable to certain foods like beans, cabbage, onions, cucumber, radishes and seafood.
Fried foods as well as rich and spicy foods often cause abdominal discomfort and gas, and
aggravate the existing condition. Excessive smoking and intake of alcohol can also cause
stomach upsets. Constipation may interfere with the normal flow of ingested matter through the
gastro-intestinal tract, resulting in gas and abdominal pain. Drinking too much water with meals,
insomnia, emotions such as jealousy, fear and anger and lack of exercise are among the other
causes of indigestion.
The Cure
The only effective treatment for indigestion is a thorough cleansing of the digestive tract;
adoption of a sensible diet and a change in the style of living. The best way to commence the
treatment is to adopt an all-fruit diet for about five days. After the all-fruit diet, the patient may
take to a restricted diet of easily digestible foods, consisting of lightly cooked vegetables, juicy
fruits and buttermilk for about 10 days. He may thereafter gradually embark upon a
well-balanced diet.
The use of fruits in general is beneficial in the treatment of indigestion. They flush out the
undigested food reside and accumulated faeces and re-establish health to perfect order. Being
rich in water, they clean body mechanisms thoroughly. The best among the fruits in dyspepsia is
lemon. Its juice reaches the stomach and attacks the bacteria, inhabiting the formation of acids.
Lemon juice removes indigestion by dislodging this acid and other harmful substances from the
stomach, thereby strengthening and prompting a healthy appetite.
The orange is another effective food remedy in chronic indigestion. It gives rest to the digestive
organs and supplies nutrition in a most easily assimilable form. It also stimulates the flow of
Indigestion
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap59.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:27:04 PM]
digestive juices thereby improving digestion and increasing appetite. It creates suitable
conditions for the development of friendly bacteria in the intestines.
Another fruit useful in indigestion is grapes. They are a light food which removes indigestion and
irritation of the stomach in a short time and relieves heat. Pineapple is also valuable. It acts as a
tonic in dyspepsia and relieves much of the digestives disorders of dyspeptics. Half a glass of
pineapple juice should be taken after a meal in this condition.
The sufferer from indigestion must always follow the under-mentioned rules regarding eating :
Never eat and drink together. Water or other liquids should be taken half an hour before
and one hour after a meal. Milk, buttermilk and vegetables soups are, however, foods and
can be taken with meals.
i.
Never hurry through a meal. Eat very slowly and chew your food as thoroughly as
possible.
ii.
iii. Never eat to a full stomach. Always leave the table with a feeling that you could eat more.
Never sit down to a meal, feeling worried, tired, excited or in a bad temper as such
feelings temporarily paralyze the manufacture of digestive juices including hydrochloride.
iv.
Do not eat if appetite is lacking. Miss a meal or two, if necessary, until real appetite
returns.
v.
vi. Never boil vegetables, always steam them.
Do not mix too many foods at the same meal. Never eat raw vegetables and raw fruits
together as they require a different set of enzymes. Take protein and starchy foods
separate as far as possible.
vii.
Yogic asanas such as ardh-matsyasana, srvangasana, uttanpadasana, pavnmuktasana,
vajrasana, yogamudra, bhujangasana, shalabhasana, and shavasana, kriyas like jalneti and
kunjal, and pranayamas like kapalbhati, anuloma-viloma, and ujjai are highly beneficial in the
treatment of indigestion. Light exercises such as walking, golf and swimming also help digestion.
Water Treatment
A daily enema should be administered to cleanse toxic bowel waste. Other beneficial water
treatments include wet girdle pack applied at night, application of ice bags over the stomach half
an hour after meals, a daily cold friction bath and alternate hot and cold hip baths at night.
Massaging of the abdomen also helps.

NATURE CURE
Influenza
Influenza, also known as flu, is the clinical condition that results from infection with influenza
viruses. The main effects of the influenza viruses are on the upper respiratory tract, the nose
and throat, with possible spread and involvement of the lungs and bronchi.
The disease is highly contagious and it has potential to cause wide spread epidemics affecting
sizeable portion of a population at any time. Although it is more common during winter it may
strike at any time. It affects people of all ages.
Symptoms
Influenza strikes suddenly. It usually begins with a chill, fever, headache and severe muscular
pains. The patient feels miserable and weak. There is an inflammation in the nose and throat,
which may spread down the windpipe to the lungs, resulting in a sore throat, cough, running of
the nose and eyes. In milder case of influenza the temperature rises to 102 o F and lasts for two
or three days. In severe cases, it may go upto 104 o F and last for four or five days. The
consequent weakness and fatigue may continue for several weeks. This may be followed by a
deep chest cough due to irritation in the windpipe.
Causes
Influenza is what is known as germ disease. It is, however, not caused primarily by the action of
the germs as is generally believed, but develops due to a toxic and run-down condition of the
system of the affected person. This condition is brought about by dietetic errors and a faulty style
of living such as worry, over work, lack of proper exercise , living in stuffy rooms and keeping
late hours. No disease germs can find lodgment and become active in the system of a person
who is perfectly healthy in the true sense of the term. Influenza is passed on with ease from one
affected person to an other especially to those who are also in an equally low vital stage. That is
how an epidemic starts.
Treatment
Influenza , like all other acute diseases, is a natural attempt at self-cleansing and if rightly
treated in a natural way, immense good can ensue so far as the future health of the patient is
concerned. In the acute stage of influenza, a patient should abstain from all solid foods and only
drink fruit and vegetable juices diluted with water, 50 – 50 for first three to five days, depending
on the severity of the disease. The juice fast should be continued till the temperature comes
down to normal. The warm water enema should be taken daily during this period to cleanse the
bowels.
After fever subsides the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for two or three days. In this regimen,
the patient should take three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits such as apples, pears, grapes,
oranges, pineapple, peaches and melons at five-hourly intervals. Bananas or dried, stewed or
tinned fruits however, should not be taken. No other food stuff should be added to the fruit
meals, otherwise the value of the treatment will be lost. This may be followed by a further two or
three days on fruits and milk diet. Thereafter, the patient may adopt a well-balanced diet of three
basic food groups namely, (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables, and (iii) fruits.
Spices and condiments , and pickles, which make food more palatal and lead to overeating,
must be avoided. Lemon juice may be used in salad dressing. Alcohol, tobacco, strong tea and
coffee, highly seasoned meats, over-boiled milk, pulses, potato, rice, cheese, refined,
processed, stale and tinned foods should all be avoided.
Certain remedies have been found highly beneficial in the treatment of influenza. The most
important of these is the use of long pepper. Half a teaspoonful of the powder of the long pepper
with two teaspoonfuls of honey and half a teaspoonful of juice of ginger should be taken thrice a
day. This will help greatly if taken in initial stages of the disease. It is especially useful in
Influenza
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap60.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:27:19 PM]
avoiding complications which follow the onset of the disease, namely, the involvement of the
larynx and bronchial tube.
Another excellent remedy for influenza is the green leaves of basil or tulsi plant. About one gram
of these leaves should be boiled along with some ginger n half a litre ofwater till about half the
water is left. This decoction should be taken as tea. It gives immediate relief.
Garlic and turmeric are other effective food medicines for influenza. Garlic is useful as a general
antiseptic and should be given as much as the patient can bear. Garlic juice may also be sucked
up the nose. A teaspoonful of turmeric powder should be mixed in a cup of warm milk and taken
three times in the day. It will prevent complications arising from influenza and also activate the
liver which becomes sluggish during the attack.

NATURE CURE
Insomnia
Insomnia or sleeplessness has assumed alarming proportions in present times, especially
among the upper classes in urban areas. This is evident from the wide range of medication for
this condition prescribed by physicians and sold by chemists. Instances of persons taking an
overdose of sleeping pills with fatal results are quite frequent. Insomnia deprives a person of
mental rest and thereby interferes with his activities in the daytime. It constitutes a severe health
hazard when it becomes a habit.
Sleep is a periodic state of rest for the body which is absolutely essential for its efficient
functioning. Sleep gives relief from tension, rests the brain and body and a person wakes up in
the morning fresh and relaxed after sleep. The amount of sleep, however, varies within very
wide limits from individual to individual. Normally, seven to eight hours of sleep every night is
adequate for most people. Some, however, do well with four to five hours because their sleep is
deeper and more refreshing.
Insomnia is common among the elderly for a variety of reasons. The sleep of the elderly is often
punctuated by brief periods of wakefulness during the night. IN such cases it is the quality rather
than the quantity which is most affected. With age, there is gradual reduction of periods of deep
sleep. The older person, therefore, gets roused easier. Sleep requirements also diminish with
ageing. From nine hours of sleep per night at the age of 12 the average sleep needs decrease to
eight hours at the age of 20 , seven hours at 40 , six and half hours at 60 and six hours at 80.
Symptoms
The signs of pathological insomnia are dramatic changes in the duration and quality of sleep,
persistent changes in sleep patterns, lapses of memory and lack of concentration during the day.
Other symptoms are emotional instability, loss of coordination, confusion and a lingering feeling
of indifference.
Causes
The most common cause of sleeplessness is mental tension brought about by anxiety, worries,
overwork and overexcitement. Suppressed feelings of resentment, anger and bitterness may
also cause insominia. Constipation, dyspepsia, over-eating at night, excessive intake of tea or
coffee and going to bed hungry are among the other causes. Smoking is another unsuspected
cause of insomnia as it irritates the nervous system, especially the nerves of the digestive
system. Often, worrying about falling asleep is enough to keep one awake.
The Cure
Sleeping pills are no remedy for sleeplessness. They are habit forming and become less
effective when taken continuously. They lower the I.Q., dull the brain and can prove fatal if taken
in excess or before or after alcohol. The side-effects of sleeping pills include indigestion, skin
rashes, lowered resistance to infection, circulatory and respiratory problems, poor appetite, high
blood pressure, kidney and liver problems and mental confusion.
To overcome the problem, one should adhere to a regular sleeping schedule, going to bed at a
fixed time each night and getting up at a fixed time each morning. Early to bed and early to rise
is a good rule. Two hours of sleep before midnight are more beneficial than four after. It is sheer
folly for students, at examination times, to keep awake till long after midnight, drinking one cup of
tea after another, as that is only apt to cause blackness and inability to concentrate in the
examination hall.
Research has shown that people with chronic insomnia almost invariably marked deficiencies of
such key nutrients as B-complex vitamins, and vitamin C and D as also calcium,magnesium,
manganese, potassium and zinc. The sleep mechanism is unable to function efficiently unless
each of these nutrients is present in adequate amounts in the diet.
Insomnia
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap61.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:27:31 PM]
A balanced diet with simple modifications in the eating pattern will go a long way in the treatment
and cure of insominia. Such a diet should exclude white flour products, sugar and its products,
tea ,coffee, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, fatty foods, fried foods, foods containing additives,
that is chemicals for preserving, colouring and flavouring, excessive use of salt and strong
condiments.
In the modified eating pattern, breakfast should consist of fresh and dried fruits, whole cereals,
seeds and yogurt. Of the two main meals, one should consist of a large mixed salad and the
other should be protein-based. A cup of milk sweetened with honey at bedtime is helpful as the
amino-acid tryptophan contained in milk induces sleep.
Sleep is often elusive. Any attempt to force it only drives it further away. It is better to divert the
mind with soft music or light reading. While going to bed, visualise a blank black wall occupying
the entire field of vision. Turn your thoughts to light and cheerful matters. Use light bed clothes
and relax. Do not lie on your back, put on your side with one or both knees brought well up and
the head and shoulders slightly forward. During the night, the position of the arms and legs
should be changed frequently and a healthy sleeper usually shifts from one side to the other
several times in the course of the night.
Controlled breathing is also a great help in inducing sleep. The method is to lie on your side in
bed, and then take three deep breaths expanding the abdomen completely. Then hold your
brath as long as you can. Next, take three more breaths and repeat the breath-holding. While
you hold your breath, carbon dioxide accumulates in the body and induces natural sleep.
Regular, active exercising during the day and mild exercise at bedtime enhances the quantity
and the quality of sleep. Exercise stimulates the elimination of lactic acid from the body which
correlates with stress and muscular tension. Regular exercise also produces hormonal changes
which are beneficial to the body and to the sleep pattern. Walking, jogging, skipping, swimming
are all ideal exercises. Vigorous exercise should, however, be avoided at night as this can be
over-stimulating.
Yogasanas
Yoga helps a majority of cases of insomnia in two ways. Firstly, yoga treatment helps tone up
the glandular, respiratory and nervous system. Secondly, yoga also gives physical and mental
relaxation as a safety value for one’s disturbing problems. The traditional yogasanas which are
effective for insomnia patients are shirsana, sarvangasana, paschimottanasana,
uttanasan,viparitakarni and shavasana.
Hydrotherapy is also effective in treatment of insomnia. Application of hot packs to the spine
before retiring, hot fomentation to the spine , hot foot bath or an alternate hot and cold foot bath
at bedtime are all time-tested methods. The cold hip bath with the feet in hot water and the
prolonged neutral immersion bath (92 o to 96 o F) at bed time, when one’s nerves are usually
irritable, are also effective measures.
Along with the various measures for the treatment of insomnia, all efforts should be made to
eliminate as many stress factors as possible. The steps in this direction should include regular
practice of any relaxation method or meditation technique, cultivating the art of doing things
slowly (particularly activities like eating, walking and talking) limiting the working day to nine to
ten hours and five and a half days weekly, cultivating a creative hobby and spending some time
daily on this, avoiding working against unrealistic targets and completing one task before starting
another.

NATURE CURE
Jaundice
Jaundice is the most common of all liver disorders resulting from an obstruction in the bile duct,
or the loss of function of the bile-producing liver cells. There are several forms of jaundice but all
of them are marked by yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes.
The liver, located under the diaphragm just above the stomach, is a vast chemical laboratory
which performs many important functions. It inactivates hormones no longer needed,
synthesizes many amino acids used in building tissues, and breaks proteins into sugar and far
when required for energy. It produces lecithin, cholesterol, bile and blood albumin, vital to the
removal of tissue wastes. It also stores vitamins and minerals.
Bile is a vital digestive fluid which is essential for proper nutrition. It exercises a most favourable
influence on the general processes of digestion. It also prevents decaying changes in food. If the
bile is prevented from entering the intestines there is an increase in gases and other products.
Normally the production of bile and its flow is constant.
Symptoms
The symptoms of jaundice are extreme weakness, headache, fever, loss of appetite, undue
fatigue, severe constipation,nausea and yellow coloration of the eyes, tongue, skin and urine.
The patient may also feel a dull pain in liver region.
Causes
Jaundice is indicative of the malfunctioning of the liver. It may be caused by an obstruction of the
bile ducts which discharge bile salts and pigment into the intestine. The bile then gets mixed with
blood and this gives a yellow pigmentation to the skin. The obstruction of the bile ducts could be
due to gall stones or inflammation of the liver, known as hepatitis, caused by a virus. In the later
case, the virus spreads and may lead to epidemics owing to over-crowding , dirty surroundings,
insanitary conditions and contamination of food and water. Other causes of jaundice are
pernicious anaemia and certain disease affecting the liver such as typhoid, malaria, yellow fever
and tuberculosis.
The Cure
The simple form of jaundice can be cured rapidly by diet therapy and exercises. Recovery will ,
however, be slow in serious cases which have been caused by obstruction or pressure in the
bile ducts. The patient should rest until the acute symptoms of the disease subside.
The patient should be put on a fruit juice fast for a week. The juice of lemon, grapes, pear,
carrot, beet, and sugarcane can be taken. A hot enema should be taken daily during the fast to
ensure regular bowel elimination, thereby preventing the absorption of decomposed, poisonous
material into the blood stream. The fruit juice fast may be discontinued after the severity of the
disease is over and a simple diet may be resumed on the following lines :
On rising : A glass of warm water mixed with two teaspoons of lime juice.
Breakfast : One fresh juicy fruit such as apple, papaya,grapes, berries and mangoes . One cup
wheat dalia or one slice of whole wheat bread with a little butter.
Mid-morning : Orange juice.
Lunch : Two small chappatis of whole wheat flour, a cup of strained vegetable soup, a steamed
leafy vegetable such as spinach, fenugreek or carrot and a glass of buttermilk.
Mid-afternoon : Orange juice or coconut water.
Jaundice
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap62.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:27:59 PM]
Dinner : Two whole wheat chappatis with a little ghee or butter, baked. Baked potato and one
other leafy vegetable like spinach and fenugreek, a glass of hot milk with honey if desired.
All fats like ghee,butter, cream and oils must be avoided for at least two weeks,and after that
their consumption should be kept down to the minimum. Digestive disturbances must be
avoided. No food with a tendency to ferment or putrefy in the lower intestines like pulses,
legumes,etc. should be included in diet.
The juice of bitter luffa (karvi torai) is regarded as an effective (home) remedy for jaundice. It is
obtained by pounding and squeezing through cloth. The juice should be placed on the palm of
the hand and drawn upthrough the nostrils. This will cause a profuse overflow of the yellow
coloured fluid through the nostrils. The toxic matter having been evacuated in a considerable
quantity, the patient will feel relieved. It is, however, a strong medicine and may cause in the
patients will delicate nature, side effects like giddiness, migraine and at times high fever for a
short duration. Its use should, therefore, be avoided by such patients.
If the green juice of bitter luffa is not available, it can best be substituted by two or three drops of
the fluid obtained by soaking its dry crusts overnight in water. This produces an identical effect.
Seeds of bitter luffa which are easily available can also be used for the same purpose after
rubbing in water.
Another valuable food remedy for jaundice is the green leaves of radish. The leaves should be
pounded and their juices extracted through cloth. One pound of this juice daily is sufficient for an
adult patient. It should be strained through a clean piece of muslin cloth before use. It provides
immediate relief. It induces a healthy appetite and proper evacuation of bowels, and this results
in gradual decrease of the trouble. In most casse a complete cure can be ensured within eight or
ten days.
Water Treatment
Drinking a lot of water with lemon juice will protect the damaged liver cells. Alternate hot and
cold compresses should be applied to the abdomen. Maintain the hot compress for one minute
at 120 o F. Alternate with a cold compress at 60 o F for few minutes. The treatment may be
continued for an hour or 10 repetitions. The procedure should be repeated at five-hourly
intervals. A hot immersion bath at 104 o F for 10 minutes daily will be helpful in relieving the
itching which sometimes accompanies jaundice and in the elimination of the bile pigment from
the system through the skin and kidneys. Cold friction twice a day will be beneficial for general
tone-up. Certain asanas such as uthanpadasana, bhujangasana, viparitkarani and shavasana,
and anuloma-viloma, pranayama will be helpful in the treatment of jaundice.
The jaundice patient can overcome the condition quite easily and build up his sickliver until it
again functions normally with the above regime. With reasonable care in the diet and life style,
and regular, moderate exercise and frequent exposure to sunshine and fresh air, a recurrence of
liver trouble can be prevented.

NATURE CURE
Kidney Stones
The formation of stones in the kidneys or urinary tract is a fairly common disorder. The stones
are formed from the chemicals usually found in the urine such as uric acid, phosphorous,
calcium and oxalic acid. They may vary in consistency from grit, sand and gravel-like
obstructions to the size of the bird’s eggs.
Stones may form and grow because the concentration of a particular substance in a urine
exceeds its solubility. This disorder occurs more frequently in middle age, with men being
afflicted more often than women.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, lying below the waist on either side of the spinal
column on the back wall of the abdomen. They are soft, reddish brown in colour, and, on an
average, measure 10 cm. in length, 6 cm. in width and is 2.5 cm. thick at its centre. They are
filtering plants for purifying the blood, removing water and salts from it which are passed into the
bladder as urine.
Symptoms
Kidney stones usually cause severe pain in their attempt to pass down the ureter on their way to
the bladder. The pain is first felt in the side and thereafter in the groin and thighs. Other
symptoms of kidney stones are a desire to urinate frequently, painful urination , scanty urination,
nausea, vomiting, sweating, chills and shocks. The patient may also pass blood with the urine.
Sometimes, large stones may remain in the kidneys without causing any trouble and these are
known as silent stones.
Causes
The formation of stones in the kidneys is the result of defects in the general metabolism. They
usually occur when the urine becomes highly concentrated due to heavy perspiration or
insufficient intake of fluids. They are aggravated by a sedentary lifestyle. The other causes are
wrong diet, excess intake of acid-forming foods, white flour and sugar products, meat, tea,
coffee, condiments and spices, rich foods and overeating. Lack of vitamin A and an excessive
intake of vitamin B may also lead to formation of stones.
Types of Stones
Chemically, urinary stones are of two categories, namely, primary stones and secondary stones.
Primary stones are ordinarily not due to infection and are formed in acidic urine. They usually
result from alcoholism, sedentary life, constipation and excessive intake of nitrogeneous or
purine-rich foods. Secondary stones are due to local infection and are formed in alkaline urine.
Most kidney stones are composed either of calcium oxalate or phosphate, the latter being most
common in the presence of infection. About 90 per cent of all stones contain calcium as the chief
constituent. More than half of these are mixtures of calcium , ammonia, and magnesium,
phosphates and carbonates, while the remainder contain oxalate. Uric acid and cystine stones
represent about four percent and one per cent respectively of the total incidence of stones.
Treatment
A majority of patients suffering from kidney stones can be treated successfully by proper dietary
regulations. These regulations will also prevent a recurrence of the symptoms. Only a few cases
require surgery.
The patient should avoid foods which irritate the kidneys, to control acidity or alkalinity of the
urine and to ensure adequate intake of fluids to prevent the urine from becoming concentrated.
The foods considered irritants to the kidneys are alcoholic beverages, condiments, pickles,
certain vegetables like cucumbers, raddishes, tomatoes, spinach, rhubarb, water-cress and
those with strong aroma such as asparagus, onions, beans,cabbage and cauliflower, meat,
gravies and carbonated waters.

In calcium phosphate stones, over -secretion of parathyroid hormone causes loss of calcium
from the bones resulting in a high blood level of calcium with increased excretion of calcium in
the urine. An abnormally high intake of milk, alkalies or vitamin D may also result in the
formation of calcium phosphate stones.
For controlling the formation of calcium phosphate stones, a moderately low calcium and
phosphorous diet should be taken The intake of calcium and phosphates should be restricted to
minimal levels consistent with maintaining nutritional adequacy.
The maintenance level of calcium is 680 mg. and of phosphorous 1000 mg. In this diet, milk
should constitute the main source of calcium and curd or cottage cheese, lentils and groundnuts
should form the main sources of phosphorous. Foods which should be avoided are whole wheat
flour, Bengal gram, peas, soyabeans, beets, spinach, cauliflower, turnips, carrots, almonds and
coconuts.
When stones are composed of calcium and magnesium phosphates and carbonates, the diet
should be so regulated as to maintain acidic urine. Insuch a diet, only half a litre of milk, two
servings of fruits and two servings of vegetables ( 200 grams) should be taken. The vegetables
may consist of asparagus, fresh green peas, squash,pumpkins, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage
and tomatoes. For fruits, watermelon, grapes, peaches, pears, pineapple, papayas and guavas
may be taken.
On the other hand the urine should be kept alkaline if oxalate and uric acid stones are being
formed. In this diet, fruits and vegetables should be liberally used and acid-forming foods should
be kept to the minimum necessary for satisfactory nutrition. When the stones contain oxalate,
foods with high oxalic acid content should be avoided. These foods include almonds, beetroots,
brinjal, brown bread, cabbage, cherry, chocolate, French Beans, potatoes, radish, spinach and
soyabeans.
Uric stones occur in patients who have an increased uric acid in the blood and increased uric
acid exertion in the urine. Since uric acid is an end product of purine metabolism, foods with a
high purine content such as sweet bread, liver and kidney should be avoided.
Kidney beans, also known as French beans or common beans, are regarded as a very effective
remedy for kidney problems, including kidney stones. It was Dr. Ramm of Germany, who first
discovered the value of kidney beans as a medicine for kidney and bladder troubles. He
employed it for over 25 years with beneficial results. The method prescribed by him to prepare
the medicine is to remove the beans inside the pods, then slice the pods and put about 60 mg. in
four litres of hot water, boiling slowly for four hours. This liquid should be strained through fine
muslin and then allowed to cool for about eight hours. Thereafter, the fluid should be poured
through another piece of muslin without stirring.
According to Dr. Ramm, a glassful of this decoction should be given to the patient every two
hours through the day for one day, and thereafter it may be taken several times a week. Dr.
Ramm also says that this decoction will not work if it is more than 24 hours old. The pods can be
kept for longer periods but once they are boiled, the therapeutic factor disappears after one day.
The basil, known as tulsi inthe vernacular, has a strengthening effect on the kidneys. In case of
kidney stones, basil juice and honey should betaken for six months. It has been found that the
stones can be expelled from the urinary tract with this treatment. The celery is also a valuable
food for those who are prone to stone formation in the kidneys or the gall bladder. Its regular use
prevents future tone formation.
Research has shown the remarkable therapeutic success of vitamin B6 or pyridoxine in the
treatment of kidney stones. This treatment has to be continued for several months for obtaining
a permanent cure.
The patient should take a low protein diet, restricting protein to one gram per kg. of food. A
liberal intake of fluid upto 3,000 ml. or more daily is essential to prevent the production of urine
at the concentration level where the salts precipitate out.
The patient should be given a large hot enema, followed by a hot bath with a temperature of 100
o F, gradually increased to 112 o F. The head should be kept cold with cold application. Hot
fomentation applied across the back in the region of the kidneys will relieve the pain. Certain
yogasanas such as pavan-muktasana, uttanpadasana, bhujangasana, dhanursana and
halasana are also highly beneficial as they stimulate the kidneys.

NATURE CURE
Leucoderma
Lecucoderma, also known as vitiligo, is a distressing skin condition. The word literally means ‘
white skin’. There isa gradual loss of pigment melanin from the skin layers which results in white
patches. These patches look ugly, especially in persons with dark complexions.
The condition does not cause any organic harm. It , however, brings about great psychological
tension to the patient who is more embarassed than the victim of any pain or discomfort. The
condition thus, besides being a medical problem, also becomes a social stigma.
Leucoderma is a fairly common disorder and it affects one per cent or more of the world’s
population. The incidence is a little higher in India. The disorder can occur at any age in either
sex in normal skin. It is, however, more common in women than men. The most affected areas
are the hands, the neck, the back and the wrist in that order.
Symptoms
The problem usually starts with a small white spot and later on it develops into patches. These
patches are pale in the beginning but become whiter and whiter as time passes due to loss of
pigment. As spots enlarge, they merge into each other and, in course of time, form a very broad
patch. In some cases, most of the skin of the body may be covered with white patches.
Causes
Many wrong beliefs are prevalent about the causes of leucoderma. It is not caused by eating fish
and drinking milk at the same time, as is generally believed because even vegetarians suffer
from this disorder. Other food combinations such as pumpkin and milk, onion and milk as
possible causes of leucoderma also have no basis.
Leucoderma is not caused by any germs ; nor is it due bad blood. It is neither infectious nor
contagious. It cannot be transmitted from one person to another by physical contact.
The main causes of leucoderma are excessive mental worry, chronic or acute gastric disorder,
impaired hepatic function such as jaundice, worms or other parasites in the alimentary canal,
ailments like typhoid which affect the gastrointestinalm tract, defective perspirative mechanism
and burn injuries. Often the hormone secreting glands are involved in this disorder. Heredity is
also a causative factor and about 30 per cent of patients have a family history of the disorder.
Treatment
In nature cure, the treatment of leudoderma consists of adoption of constitutional measures to
cleanse the system of accumulated toxins. This enables the healing power within the body to
assert itself, and produce normalcy. To begin with, the patient should undertake a fast on juices
for about a week. IN this regimen, he or she should take fruit or vegetable juices, diluted with
water on 50 : 50 basis every two or three hours from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. The bowels should
be cleansed daily with warm water during this period.
After the juice fast, the patient may adopt a restricted diet consisting of fresh fruits, raw or
steamed vegetables and whole meal bread or chappaties. Curd and milk may be added to this
diet after a few days. The patient may thereafter gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet of
seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits. The large proportion of the diet should consist of
raw foods. Seeds and beans such as alfalfa, mung and soyabeans canbe sprouted. This diet
may be supplemented with cold-pressed vegetable oils, honey and yeast. Juice fasting may be
repeated at intervals of two months. The patient should avoid tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages
and all condiments and highly flavoured dishes. He or she should also avoid sugar, white flour
products, denatured cereals like polished rice and pearled barley and tinned or bottled foods.
Home Remedies
Certain home remedies have been found useful in the treatment of leucoderma. The best known
of such remedies is the use of seeds of psoralea, known as babchi in Hindi. Seeds should be
Leucoderma
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap64.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:28:25 PM]
steeped in the juice of ginger or cow’s urine for three days. The fluids should be renewed every
day. The seeds should then be rubbed with hands to remove their husks, dried in the shade
andpowdered. One gram of this powder should be taken every day with fresh milk for 40 days
continuously. The ground seeds should also be applied to the white spots.
Babchi seeds, combined with tamarind seeds, are also useful. Equal quantity of both the seeds
should be steeped in water for three to four days. They should then be shelled and dried inthe
shade. They should be ground into paste and applied to the white patches for a week. If the
application of this paste causes itching or the white spots become red and a fluid being to ooze
out, it should be discontinued. If there is no itching or reddening, babchi seeds should be taken
also for 40 days.
Another useful remedy for leucoderma is red clay found by the river side or on hill slopes. The
clay should be mixed in ginger juice and applied over the white spots once a day. The copper
containedin the clay seems to bring back skin pigmentation and ginger juice serves as a milk
stimulant, facilitating increased blood flow to the spots. Drinking water kept overnight in a copper
vessel also helps.
A paste made from the seeds of the radish is valuable in treating leucoderma. About 35 grams of
these seeds should be powdered in vinegar and applied on the white patches. For better results,
seeds should be finely pounded, mixed with a little white arsenic and soaked in vinegar at night.
After two hours, when leaves appear, it should be rubbed on the leucoderma patches.
The use of turmeric and mustard oil is also considered beneficial in the treatment of leucoderma.
About 500 grams of turmeric should be pounded and soaked in eight kgs. of water at night. It
should be heated in the morning till only one kg. of water is left. It should then be strained and
mixed with 500 grams of mustard oil. This mixture should be heated till only the oil is left. It
should be applied on white patches every morning and evening for a few months.

NATURE CURE
Neuritis
Neuritis is one of the serious nervous disorders. It refers to an inflammation of the nerves,
involving a single nerve or a series of nerves. At times, several different groups of nerves in
various parts of the body may be involved. This condition is known as polyneuritis. It is also
known as polyneuropathy, for strictly speaking, the condition is not an inflammation, but a
change in the state of the nerves resulting in weakness, loss of the reflexes and changes of
sensation.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of neuritis are tingling, burning, and stabbing pains in the affected nerves.
IN severe cases, there may be numbness and loss of sensation and paralysis of the nearby
muscles. Thus a temporary paralysis of the face may result from changes in the facial nerves on
the affected side. During the acute stage of this condition, the patient may not be able to close
the eyes due to loss of normal tone and strength by the muscles on the affected side of the face.
Neuritis may also be caused by pernicious anaemia, involving the nerves of the spine. The
patient with this condition may find it very difficult to walk in the dark.
Causes
The chief cause of neuritis is chronic acidosis, that is, excessive acid condition of the blood and
other body fluids. All the body fluids should be alkaline in their reaction ,but when the acid waste
matter is continuously formed in the tissues over a long period due to a faulty diet, it results in
acidosis. Wrong habits of living , over work , etc., lower the tone of nervous system and
contribute towards neuritis. This disease can also result from a variety of nutritional deficiencies
and metabolic disturbances such as faulty calcium metabolism, deficiencies of several B
vitamins like B12, B6, B1, pantothenic acid and B2 and general toxaemia.
Other causes of neuritis include a blow, a penetrating injury a bad bruise or heavy pressure over
a nerve trunk and dislocation and fractures of the bones. Any violent muscular activity or
over-extension of the joint as in sprains may injure the nerves and cause neuritis. The condition
may also result from certain infections such as tuberculosis, diptheria, tetanus, leprosy and
diabetes mellitius, poisoning with insecticides, mercury, lead, arsenic and alcohol.
Treatment
Treatment of neuritis by painkilling drugs may give temporary relief but it does not remove the
trouble effectively. The pain is relieved for the time being at the cost of the health of other parts
of the body, especially the heart and the kidneys, and the neuritis remains.
The best treatment for neuritis is to ensure that the patient gets optimum nutrition, well
assimilated with all the vitamins and other nutrients. The emphasis should be on whole grains,
particularly whole wheat,brown rice, raw and sprouted seeds, raw milk, especially in soured
form, and home-made cottage cheese.
In this regimen, the breakfast may consist of fresh fruits, a handful of raw nuts or a couple of
tablespoons of sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Steamed vegetables, whole wheat, chappatis and
a glass of butter-milk may be taken for lunch. The dinner may comprise a large bowl of fresh,
green, vegetable salad, fresh home made cottage cheese, fresh butter and a glass of butter
milk.
In severe cases, the patient should be put on a short juice fast for four or five days before being
given the optimum diet. Carrot, beet, citrus fruits, apple and pineapple may be used for juices.
All vitamins of the B group have proved highly beneficial in the prevention and treatment of
neuritis. The disorder has been helped when vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, and pantothenic acid
have been given together, and extreme pain,weakness and numbness in some cases have been
relieved within an hour.
Neuritis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap65.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:28:33 PM]
The patient should avoid white bread, white sugar,refined cereals, meat, fish, tinned foods, tea,
coffee, and condiments which are at the root of the trouble, by continuously flooding the tissues
with acid impurities.
Certain remedies have been found highly beneficial in the treatment of neuritis. One such
remedy is soyabean milk. A cupful of soyabean milk mixed with a teaspoonful of honey should
be taken every night in this condition. It tones up the nervous system due to its rich
concentration of lecithin, vitamin B1 and glutanic acid. Soyabean milk is prepared by soaking the
beans in water for about 12 hours. The skin of the beans is then removed and after a thorough
wash, they are turned into a fine paste in a grinding machine. The paste is mixed with water,
three times its quantity. The milk should then be boiled on a slow fire, stirring it frequently. After it
becomes little cooler, it should be strained through a cheese cloth and sugar added.
barley brew is another effective remedy for neuritis. It is prepared by boiling one-quarter cup of
all natural pearled barley in two quarters of water. When the water has boiled down to about one
quarter, it should be strained carefully. For better results, it should be mixed with butter-milk and
lime juice.
Raw carrot and spinach have proved valuable in neuritis as both these vegetables are rich in
elements, the deficiency of which has led to this disease. The quickest and most effective way in
which the body can obtain and assimilate these elements is by drinking daily at least half a litre
of the combined raw juices of carrot and spinach.
The patient should be given two or three hot Epsom-salt baths weekly. He should remain in the
bath for 25 to 30 minutes. The affected parts should also be bathed several times daily in the hot
water containing Epsom salt – a table- spoon of salt to a cupful of hot water. The patient should
undertake walking and other moderate exercises.

NATURE CURE
Nepthritis
Nepthritis refers to an inflammation of the kidneys. It is a serious condition and may be either
acute or chronic. A synonym for nephthritis is ” Bright’s disease, ” for Bright (1789-1858)
described examples of many different diseases which can be included under the term.
This disease most often strikes during childhood or adolescence. It can become progressively
worse and result in death, if not treated properly in the initial stages. In the alternative , it may
subside into a chronic stage where the patient gets better but not too well.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of acute nepthritis are pain in the kidneys extending down to the uterus,
fever, dull pain in the back and scanty and highly coloured urine. Often the urine may contain
blood, albumin and casts consisting of clumps of red and white cells, which come from damaged
kidneys. The patient suffers from puffiness in the face and swelling of the feet and ankles.
In the chronic stage of nepthritis, which may drag on for many years, the patient passes large
amounts of albumin in the urine. Later there may be rise in blood pressure and the patient may
develop uraemia. There may be frequent urination, especially during night.
Causes
Nepthritis usually follows some streptococcus infection of the throat or an attack of scarlet fever
or rheumatic fever. The underlying causes of nepthritis are however, the same as for diseases of
the kidneys in general, namely wrong dietary habits, excessive drinking, the suppressive medical
treatment of former diseases, the habitual use of chemical agents of all kinds for the treatment of
indigestion and other stomach disorders and frequent use of aspirin and other painkillers.
Nutritional deficiencies can also lead to nepthritis. The disease has been produced in many
species of animals by diets deficient in the B vitamin, choline. Animals lacking essential fatty
acids and magnesium also develop nephritis. When vitamin B6 and magnesium are under
supplied, the kidneys are further damaged by sharp crystals of oxalic acid combined with
calcium. Nepthritis also occurs if vitamin E is deficient.
Treatment
The safest treatment for acute nepthritis is fasting. By means of the fast, the toxins and systemic
impurities responsible for setting up of the inflammatory kidney conditions are removed rapidly.
The patient should resort to juice fasting for seven to ten days till the acute symptoms subside.
Mostly vegetable juices such as carrot, celery and cucumber should be used during this period.
A warm water enema should be taken each day while fasting, to cleanse the bowels of the toxic
matter being thrown off by the self-cleansing process resulting from the fast.
After the juice fast, the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for four to five days. Juicy fruits such as
apples, grapes, oranges, pears, peaches and pineapples should be taken during this period at
five-hourly intervals. After the all-fruit diet, the patient may adopt fruits and milk diet. In this
regimen, milk, preferably raw goat’s milk , may be added to the fruit diet for further seven days.
The patient may thereafter gradually embark upon a well- balanced low protein vegetarian diet,
with emphasis on fresh fruits and raw and cooked vegetables.
In case of chronic nepthritis a short juice fast for three days may be undertaken. Thereafter, a
week or 10 days may be spent on a restricted diet. In this regimen, oranges or orange juice may
be taken for breakfast. Lunch may consist of a salad of raw vegetables which are in season, and
dinner may consist of one or two vegetables, steamed in their own juices and a few nuts.
Thereafter, the patient may gradually adopt a well- balanced low protein vegetarian diet.
Further short juice fasts followed by a week on the restricted diet should be undertaken at
intervals of two or three months until such time as the kidney condition has shown signs of
normalisation.
Nepthritis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap66.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:28:41 PM]
The patient should avoid vegetables containing large quantities of oxalic acid such as spinach
and rhubarb. Chocolate and cocoa also contain oxalic acid and must not be used. Garlic,
asparagus, parsley, watercress, cucumber and celery are excellent vegetables. The best fruits
are papaya and bananas. Both have a healing effect on kidneys. A small amount of soured milk
and home- made cottage cheese can be included in the diet. All salt should be eliminated from
the diet. Five or six small meals should be taken in preference to a few large ones.
A glassful of carrot juice mixed with tablespoonful of honey and a teaspoonful of fresh lime juice
is a very effective home remedy for nepthritis. It should be taken every day early in the morning
before breakfast.
Bananas are also valuable in nepthritis because of their low protein and salt content and high
carbohydrates content. In this condition , a diet of bananas only should be taken for three or four
days, consuming eight to nine bananas a day.
Smoking and drinking ,where habitual, must be completely given up. Studies have shown that
smoking impairs kidney function. The patient should avoid white bread, sugar, cakes, pastries,
puddings, refined cereals, greasy, heavy or fried foods. He should also avoid tea, coffee, all
flesh foods, condiments, pickles, and sauces.
All measures should be adopted to relieve the kidneys of work by increasing elimination through
other channels. Hot Epsom salt bath should be taken every alternate day to induce elimination
through the skin as much as possible.
Fresh air and outdoor exercises will be of great benefit in all cases of nepthritis and where
possible, the patient should have a walk for atleast three kilometers once or twice daily. The
sufferer from chronic nepthritis should never exert himself when doing anything . He should
avoid all hurry and excitement. He should also avoid late hours.
If the above treatment is faithfully carried out, the patient of acute nepthritis should soon be on
the way to recovery . Even in advanced cases of chronic nepthritis, the sufferer’s condition
should improve with this treatment.

NATURE CURE
Obesity
Obesity may be described as a bodily condition characterised by excessive deposition or
storage of fat in adipose tissue. It usually results from consumption of food in excess of
physiological needs. Obesity is common among people in Western countries and among the
higher income groups in India and other developing countries.
Obesity can occur at any age in either sex. Its incidence is higher inpersons who consume more
food and lead sedentary leaves. Among women, obesity is liable to occur after pregnancy and at
menopause. A woman usually gains about 12 kgs. weight during pregnancy. Part of this is an
increase in the adipose tissue which serves as a store against the demands of lactation. Many
women gain more and retain part of this weight. They become progressively obese with each
succeeding child.
Obesity is a serious health hazard as the extra fats puts a strain on the heart, kidneys and liver
as well as the large weight-bearing joints such as the hips, knees and ankles, which ultimately
shortens the life span. It has been truly said, ‘ the longer the belt, the short the life. ‘ Overweight
persons are susceptible to several diseases like coronary thrombosis, heart failure, high blood
pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout and liver and gall-bladder disorders.
Causes
The chief cause of obesity , most often, is overeating – that is, the intake of calories beyond the
body’s energy requirement. Some people are habituated to eating too much while others may be
in the habit of consuming high-calorie foods. These people gain weight continuously as they fail
to adjust their appetite to reduce energy requirements. There has, in recent times, been an
increase in awareness of psychological aspects of obesity. Persons who are generally bored ,
unhappy, lonely or unloved, those who are discontented with their families, or social or financial
standing usually tend to overeat as eating is a pleasure and solace to them.
Obesity is sometimes also the result of disturbances of the thyroid or pituitary glands. But
glandular disorders account for only about two per cent of the total incidence of obesity. In such
persons, the basal metabolism rate is low and they keep gaining weight unless they take a
low-calorie diet.
Treatment
A suitably planned course of dietetic treatment, in conjunction with suitable exercise and other
measures for promoting elimination is the only scientific way of dealing with obesity. The chief
consideration in this treatment should be the balanced selection of foods which provide the
maximum essential nutrients with the least number of calories.
To begin with, the patient should undertake a juice fast for seven to ten days. Juices of lemon,
grape fruit, orange, pineapple, cabbage, celery, may be taken during this period. Long juice fast
upto 40 days can also be undertaken, but only under expert guidance and supervision. In the
alternative, short juice fasts should be repeated at regular intervals of two months or so till the
desired reduction in weight is achieved.
After the juice fast, the patient should spend a further four or five days on an all-fruit diet, taking
three meals of fresh juicy fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, pineapple and papaya. Thereafter,
he may gradually embark upon a low-calorie well- balanced diet of three basic food groups,
namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains , (ii) vegetables and (iii)fruits, with emphasis on raw fruits,
vegetables, and fresh juices.
The foods which should be drastically curtailed or altogether avoided are high-fat foods such as
butter, cheese, chocolates, cream, ice-cream, fat meats, fried foods, and gravies ; high
carbohydrated foods like bread, candy, cake, cookies, cereal products, legumes, potatoes,
honey, sugar, syrup and rich puddings beverages such as all-fountain drinks and alcoholic
drinks.
Obesity
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap67.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:28:51 PM]
One sure method of reducing weight is by practicising what is known as „Fletcherism”. It was
discovered in 1898 by Horace Fletcher of the U.S.A.. Fletlcher, at 40, considered himself an old
man. He was 50 pounds overweight, contracted flu every six months and constantly complained
of indigestion and a tired feeling. After a deep study, he made some important discoveries and
prescribed the rules for „Fletcherism” which are as follows :
Chew your food to a pulp or milky liquid until it practically swallows itself.
Never eat until hungry.
Enjoy every bite or morsel, savouring the flavour until it is swallowed.
Do not eat when tired, angry, worried, and at meal-time refuse to think or talk about
unpleasant subjects.
4.
Horace Fletcher followed these rules for five months. As a result he lost more than 60 pounds
and felt better than he had for 20 years. A weight reducing programme built on Fletcherism
works wonders and is worth a trial.
Ingestion of honey is an excellent home remedy for obesity. It mobilises the extra deposited fat
in the body and puts it into circulation which is utilised as energy for normal functions. One
should start with small quantity of about 10 grams to be taken with hot water. The dose can be
gradually increased.
Fasting on honey -lime juice water is highly beneficial in the treatment of obesity without the loss
of energy and appetite. In this mode of treatment, one spoon of fresh honey should be mixed
with a juice of half a lime in a glass of lukewarm water and taken at regularly intervals.
Another effective remedy for obesity is an exclusive lemon juice diet. On the first day the patient
should be given nothing but plenty of water. On the second day juice of three lemons mixed with
equal amount of water should be given. One lemon should be subsequently increased each day
until the juice of 12 lemons is consumed per day. Then the number of lemons should be
decreased in the same order until three lemons are taken in a day. The patient may feel weak
and hungry on the first two days, but afterwards the condition will be stabilised by itself.
Cabbage is considered to be an effective home remedy for obesity. Recent research has
discovered in this vegetable a valuable content called tartroric acid which inhibits the conversion
of sugar and other carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight reduction. A
helping of cabbage salad would be the simplest way to stay slim, a painless way of dieting.
A hundred grams of cabbage yields only 27 kilo calories of energy while the same quantity of
wheat bread will yield about 240 calories. Cabbage is found to possess the maximum biological
value with minimum calorific value. Moreover, it gives a lasting feeling of fullness in the stomach
and is easily digestible.
Along with dietetic treatment, the patient should adopt all other natural methods of reducing
weight. Exercise is an important part of weight reduction plan. It helps to use up calories stored
in body fat and relieves tension, besides toning up the muscles of the body. Walking is the best
exercise to begin with and may be followed by running, swimming, rowing and other outdoor
sports.
Certain yogi asanas are highly beneficial. Not only do they break up or re-distribute fatty
deposits and help slimming, but they also strengthen the flabby areas. Sarvangasana, halasana,
bhujangasana, shalabhasana, dhanurasana, chakrasana, naukasana, ardh-matsyendrasana,
paschimottanasana, vajrasana, yogamudra and trikonasana are recommended. These asanas
work on the glands, improve circulation, strengthen many weak areas and induce deep
breathing which helps to melt off excess fat gradually. Yogic kriyas like kunjal and jalneti and
pranayamas such as kapalbhati and bhastrika are also helpful in normalising body weight.
The patient should also adopt measures which bring on excessive perspiration such as sauna
baths, steam bath and heavy massage. They help to reduce weight. Above all, obese persons
should make every effort to avoid negative motions such as anxiety, fear, hostility and insecurity
and develop a positive outlook on life.

NATURE CURE
Peptic Ulcer
Peptic Ulcer refers to an eroded lesion in the gastric intestinal mucosa. An ulcer may form in any
part of the digestive tract which is exposed to acid gastric juice, but is usually found in the
stomach and the duodenum. The ulcer located in the stomach is known as gastric ulcer and that
located in the duodenum is called a deudenal ulcer. Usually both are grouped together and
termed peptic ulcer.
Symptoms
The most common symptoms of peptic ulcer are sharp and severe pain and discomfort in the
upper central abdomen. The pain is commonly described as burning or gnawing in character.
Gastric ulcer pain usually occurs an hour after meals, but rarely at night. Duodenal ulcer pan
usually occurs between meals when the stomach is empty and is relieved by food, especially
milk. It is often described as hunger pain and gets the sufferer out of bed between 2 and 4 a.m.
As the disease progresses there is distension of the stomach due to excessive flatulence,
besides mental tension, insomnia and a gradual weakening of the body. It may also cause
constipation with occasional blood in the stools. If an ulcer bleeds slowly, there is anaemia.
Causes
Peptic ulcers result from hyperacidity which is a condition caused by an increase in hydrochloric
acid in the stomach. This strong acid, secreted by the cells lining the stomach, affects much of
the breakdown of food. It can be potentially dangerous and, under certain circumstances, it may
eat its way through the lining of the stomach or duodenum producing, first, irritation of the
stomach wall and eventually an ulcer.
Dietetic indiscretion, like overeating, taking of heavy meals or highly spiced foods, coffee,
alcohol and smoking are the main factors contributing to this condition. The ingestion of certain
drugs, particularly aspirin, food poisoning, infections like influenza and septicaemia and gout
may also cause ulcers. Emotional stress or nervous tension also plays a major role in the
formation of ulcers.
Treatment
Diet is of utmost importance in the treatment of ulcer. The diet should be so arranged as to
provide adequate nutrition to afford rest to the disturbed organs, to maintain continuous
neutralisation of the gastric acid, to inhibit production of acid and to reduce mechanical and
chemical irritation. Milk, cream, butter, fruits, and fresh, raw and boiled vegetables, natural foods
and natural vitamin supplements are the best diet for an ulcer patient.
The most effective remedy for peptic ulcers is bananas. They are said to contain an unidentified
compound called, perhaps jokingly, vitamin U (against ulcers). Bananas neutralises the over
acidity of the gastric juices and reduces the irritation of the ulcer by quoting the lining of the
stomach. Banana and milk are considered an ideal diet for the patients who are in an advanced
state of the disease.
Almond milk made from blanched almonds in a blender is very beneficial as it binds the excess
of acid in the stomach and supplies high quality proteins. Raw goat’s milk is also highly
beneficial. It actually helps to heal peptic ulcer.
Cabbage is regarded as another useful home remedy for peptic ulcers. Cabbage is boiled in
water. This water is allowed to cool and taken twice daily. The leaves of kalyana murangal tree,
which is a variety of drumstick found in South India, have also proved helpful in the healing of
the ulcers. The leaves of this tree are ground into a paste and taken mixed with yogurt daily.
Raw vegetables juices, particularly carrot and cabbage juices are beneficial in the treatment of
the peptic ulcers. Carrot juice may be taken either alone or in combination with spinach or beat
and cucumber. The formula proportions in the case of the first combination are 300 ml. of carrots

and 200 ml. of spinach and in case of the second combination, 300 ml. of carrots and three
ounces each of beets and cucumber to make half a litre of juice.
The observance of certain rules by an ulcer patient with regard to eating habits are essential. He
should never eat when tired or emotionally upset, nor when he is not hungry even if it is meal
time, nor when his mouth is dry. He should chew every morsel thoroughly. He should eat only
natural foods and take food in as dry a form as possible. Meals must be small and frequent. All
foods and drinks which are either too hot or too cold should be avoided.
The ulcer patient should drink eight to 10 glasses of water every day. However, he should not
drink water during or with meals, but only half an hour before or one hour after he has eaten. He
should bathe, preferably in cold water, twice daily. Alternate hot and cold hip baths for 10 to 15
minutes and a mud pack applied over the lower abdominal for half an hour daily will help the
ulcers to heal. The hip bath or the mud pack should be taken on an empty stomach and should
be followed by a walk. In case of haemorrhage in the stomach, a rectal enema should be
administered four times daily with water temperature at 110 to 115 o F. In case of abdominal or
stomach pain, hot pack should be placed on the abdomen with water temperature at 120 o F. A
hot pack should also be placed between the shoulder blades.
Daily massages and deep breathing exercises also help. Above all, the patient must try to rid
himself of worries and stay cheerful. He should also cultivate regularity in his habit – be it work,
exercise or rest. Asanas which are beneficial in the treatment of hyperacidity and ulcers are
vajrasana, uttanpadasana, pawanmuktasana, bhujasana, paschimottanasana. Yogic kriyas like
jalneti and pranayamas like anuloma-viloma , shitali and sitkari are also beneficial.
Hyperacidity does not appear suddenly ; it develops gradually and its cure is also a gradual
process. The patient should not lose patience but must continue the regimen suggested ; this
will help him get relief from his ailment.

NATURE CURE
Piles
Piles or haemorrhoids are among the most common ailments today, especially in the Western
world. They are a varicose and often inflammed condition of the veins inside or just outside the
rectum. In external piles there is a lot of pain, but not much bleeding. In case of internal piles
there is discharge of dark blood. In some cases the veins burst and this results in what is known
as bleeding piles.
Symptoms
Pain at passing stools, slight bleeding in the case of internal trouble and a feeling of soreness
and irritation after passing a stool are the usual symptoms of piles. The patient cannot sit
comfortably due to itching, discomfort and pain in the rectal region.
Causes
The primary cause of piles is chronic constipation and other bowel disorders. The pressure
applied to pass a stool to evacuate constipated bowls and the congestion caused by
constipation ultimately lead to piles. The use of purgatives to relieve constipation, by their
irritating and weakening effect on the lining of the rectum, also result in enlargement and
inflammation of veins and bleeding of the mucus lining. Piles are more common during
pregnancy and in conditions affecting the liver and upper bowel. Prolonged periods of standing
or sitting, strenuous work, obesity and general weakness of the tissues of the body are the other
contributory causes of piles.
Mental tension is also one of the main causes of harmorrioids. Persons who are always in a
hurry often strain while passing stools. They rush through defecation instead of making it a
relaxed affair. The pressure thus exerted by the anal muscles affect the surrounding tissues. The
extra rectal pressure and the resultant congestion of veins ultimately leads to haemorrhoids.
There is probably a hereditary factor also involved in the development of piles.
Treatment
The treatment of the basic cause, namely, chronic constipation, is the only way to get rid of the
trouble. To begin with, the whole digestive tract must be given a complete rest for a few days
and the intestines thoroughly cleansed. For this purpose the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet
for at least seven days. After the all-fruit diet, the patient may adopt a diet of natural foods aimed
at securing soft stools.
The most important food remedy for piles is dry figs. Three or four figs should be soaked
overnight in water after cleansing them thoroughly in hot water. They should be taken the first
thing in the morning along with water in which they were soaked. They should also be taken in
the evening in a similar manner. This treatment should be continued for three or four weeks. The
tiny seeds of the fruit possess an excellent quality of stimulating peristalic movements of
intestines. This facilitates easy evacuation of faeces and keeps the alimentary canal clean.
The pressure on the anus having thus been relieved, the haemorrhoids also get contracted.
Mango seeds are regarded as an effective remedy for bleeding piles. The seeds should be
collected during the mango season, dried in the shade and powdered and kept stored for use as
medicine. It should be given in doses of about one and a half gram to two grams with or without
honey.
The jambul fruit is another effective food remedy for bleeding piles. The fruit should be taken
with salt every morning for two or three months in its season. The use of the fruit in this manner
in every season will effect a radical cure and save the user from bleeding piles during his / her
entire life.
White radish is considered highly valuable in the treatment of piles. Grated radish mixed with
honey may be taken in this condition. This vegetable can also be taken in the form of juice mixed
Piles
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap69.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:29:10 PM]
with a pinch of salt. It should be given in doses of 60 to 90 ml. in the morning and evening. White
radish well ground into a paste in milk can also be beneficial applied over inflammed pile masses
to relieve pain and swelling.
The patient should drink atleast six to eight glasses of water a day. He should avoid straining to
pass a stool. Cold water treatment helps the veins to shrink and tones up their walls. The
treatment is done by sitting in a tub filled with cold water for two minutes with knees drawn up to
your chin. The water level should cover the hips. This should be done twice a day. Other water
treatments beneficial in curing piles include cold perennial douche and cold compress applied to
the rectal area for an hour before bed time.
A patient with piles must make an all out effort to tone up the entire system. Exercise plays an
important corrective role in this condition. Movements which exercise the abdominal muscles will
improve circulation in the rectal region and relieve congestion. Outdoor exercises such as
walking and swimming are excellent methods of building up general health. Yogic kriyas like
jalneti and vamandhouti and asanas such as sarvangasana,viparit karani, halasana,
gomukhasana are also useful. Sarvangasana is especially beneficial as it drains stagnant blood
from the anus.

NATURE CURE
Premature Greying of Hair
The hair has a tendency to lose its natural colour with advancing age. It is therefore natural for
the hair to turn grey with age. But premature greying is a morbid condition and it makes even the
young look older. This causes a great deal of concern to affected persons, especially women.
The hair is an appendage of the skin. It is composed of the same kind of cells as are found in the
outer layer of the skin, known as epidermis. It grows from a hair follicle which is a deep recess in
the epidermis. The sebaceous glands of the scalp secrete an oily substance called sebum,
which is the source of nutrition, lustre and blackness of the hair. The hair cannot be fed
externally, for such nourishment as the scalp requires must come to it from the bloodstream.
Causes of Greying
A faulty diet and mental worries are the two primary causes of premature greying of hair. It is
mainly due to the lack of some of the B vitamins, of iron, copper and iodine in the daily diet that
this hair disorder is caused at a young age these days. Mental worries produce an extraordinary
tension in the skin of the scalp which interferes with the supply of vital nutrition necessary for the
health of the hair. Similarly, anxieties, fear, jealousy and failures have adverse effects on the
hair. They dry out the scalpular marrow, the vital sap at the root of the hair.
Other causes of premature greying of hair are unclean condition of the scalp which weakens the
roots of the hair as the pores are blocked by the collected dirt ; washing the hair with hot water
and drying them with electric dryers which emit a blast of hot air ; the use of hair dyes in the
earlier stages when the hair have just started greying ; diseases like chronic cold, sinusitis,
anaemia, chronic constipation ; and the use of factory- made hair oils, which are generally
cleaned with acids and some of the acids have a tendency to remain in the oil. Heredity is
another predisposing factor which gives rise to this ailment.
Treatment
Diet is of utmost importance in the prevention and treatment of premature greying of hair and
persons suffering from this disorder should take a diet rich in all essential nutrients. The vitamins
considered useful in premature greying of hair are pantothenic acid, para-aminobenzoic acid or
PABA and inositol. The minimum daily requirement of these vitamins appears to be 10 mg. of
pantothenic acid, 100 gm. of para-aminobenzoic acid and 2000 mg. of inositol. To obtain
satisfactory results, all three of these vitamins, belonging to B group, should be supplied at one
time preferably in a form which gives all B vitamins, such as yeast, wheat germ and liver. The
three anti-grey hair vitamins can be produced in the intestinal tract by bacteria. Thus drinking a
litre of yogurt daily with a tablespoon of yeast before each meal will be an excellent remedy for
the prevention and treatment of premature greying of hair. If one wishes to take tablets of
calcium pantothenate and paba, they should be taken in addition to the yeast and yogurt and not
as a substitute for them.
Gayelord Hauser, one of the best known world nutritionists, in his book ‘The New Diet Does it’,
claims that this treatment will restore the grey hair back to its natural colour. He also advises
addition of iron and iodine in the form of sea food, to an otherwise adequate diet for obtaining
better results. Besides fish, which is the main source of iodine, the requirement of this mineral
can be met by adequate intake of carrots, bananas and similar other vegetables and fruits.
Carrots are especially useful in furnishing fresh blood and maintaining the health of the hair.
Home remedies
Certain home remedies have been found useful in the prevention and treatment of premature
greying of hair. The foremost among these is the use of Indian gooseberry or amla which is a
valuable hair tonic for enriching hair growth and hair pigmentation. The fruit, cut into pieces,
should be dried, preferably in the shade. These pieces should be boiled in coconut oil till the

The water in which dried amla pieces are soaked overnight is Indian gooseberry (amla) is
considered highly beneficial in the treatment of premature greying of hair. also nourishing to the
hair. This water should be used for the last rinse while washing the hair. Massaging the scalp
with a teaspoonful of amla juice mixed with a teaspoonful of almond oil or few drops of lime
juice, every night has proved beneficial in the prevention and treatment of premature greying of
hair.
Liberal intake of curry leaves is considered beneficial in preventing premature greying of hair.
These have the property to give vitality and strength to hair roots. New hair roots that grow are
healthier with normal pigment. The leaves can be used in the form of chutney or these may be
squeezed in butter- milk or lassi. When the leaves are boiled in coconut oil, the oil forms an
excellent hair tonic to stimulate hair growth and bring back hair pigmentation.
The butter made from cow’s milk has the property to prevent premature greying of hair. A small
roll may be taken internally and a little quantity may be massaged into the hair root twice a week.
Ribbed gourd, known as torai in the vernacular, boiled in coconut oil is another effective remedy
for premature greying of hair. Pieces of this vegetable should be dried in the shade. These dried
pieces should be soaked in coconut oil and kept aside for three or four days. The oil should then
be boiled till the solid is reduced to a blackened residue. Thisoil should be massaged into the
scalp. It will help enrich the hair roots and restore pigment to the hair.
Hair Dye
The paste of henna leaves, boiled in coconut oil to get a darkish oil, can be used as a hair dye to
blacken grey hair. The paste itself can be applied to the hair and washed away after a few hours
to dye the grey hair. Washing the hair with concentrated tea extract twice a week is also
considered useful in colouring grey hair to brown or black.

NATURE CURE
Prostate Disorders
Nearly one-third of all men over 50 years suffer from prostate troubles of one form or another.
The percentage rises with age and reaches 75 after the age of 80 years. Prostate and bladder
disorders can lead to numerous other ailments such as arthritis, kidney disorders and uremia.
The prostate gland is a male gland, comparable in shape and size to a large chestnut. It is
reddish brown in appearance. It measures approximately 3.8 cm. in width and about 2.5 cm. in
length and weighs approximately 25 grams. It is situated at the base of the urinary bladder and
around the commencement of the urethra, the membranous tube for the passage of the urine. It
is thus vital in relation to the emptying of the bladder and bears a close relationship to the
rectum. The gland plays an important role in normal sexual life and its function is to secrete a
fluid which is added to semen during sexual intercourse.
Various Disorders
There are various types of prostate disorders. Of these the most important are prostatitis or
inflammation in the prostate gland and hypertrophy or enlargement of the prostate gland.
Prostatitis may be acute or chronic. It is a painful and distressing disorder, but can be cured with
proper treatment without any adverse effects.
Enlargement of the prostate gland or hypertrophy is the most common complaint affecting the
gland. This occurs mostly in men of middle or advanced age. The enlargement develops so
gradually over a long period that it often assumes serious proportions before it is detected.
Symptoms
There are two warning signals to indicate the possibility of prostate disorders. The first is the
interface with the passage of urine and the second is the need to void the urine frequently during
the night’s sleep. Other symptoms are a dull aching pain in the lower back and pain in the hips,
legs and feet. Prostate enlargement affects the glandular system as a whole. The patient
experiences all the symptoms of disturbed health such as lack of energy and physical , mental
and nervous disturbances.
Causes
The position of the prostate gland makes it liable to congestion and other disorders. In an erect
position, pressure falls on the pelvic region just where the prostate gland is situated. With
ageing, the body gets heavier and loses its flexibility which makes the pressure on the pelvis
even greater and increases the vulnerability of the prostate gland. Prolonged periods of sitting
down, as in certain occupations, also increases the pressure on the pelvic region resulting in
congestion of the tissues in and around the prostate gland. With the passage of time, changes
such as inflammation or enlargement occur in the gland. Acute prostatis may also result from
exposure to cold and chill and from an infectious disease. Chronic prostatis is an after-effect of
the acute condition. It may also result from continual irritation of the gland due to excessive
sexual excitement.
Another important cause of prostate disorders is constipation. In constipation , the faeces
becomes hardened and the rectum or lower bowel overloaded. This causes undue pressure on
the prostate gland. It also entails a great deal of straining at stools and this adversely affects the
prostate gland due to its proximity to the rectum.
Treatment
To begin with, the patient should forgo all solid foods and subsist on water only for two or three
days. The intake of water should be as plentiful as possible. Nothing should be added to the
water except a little lemon juice, if desired. The water may be taken cold or hot and it should be
taken every hour or so when awake. This will greatly increase the flow of urine.
An enema may be taken once a day during fasting to clear the lower bowel of accumulations.
Prostate Disorders
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap71.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:29:44 PM]
After a thorough cleansing of the bowels, hot and cold applications may be used directly on the
prostate gland and its surrounding parts. The heat relieves the tissues and a brief cold
immersion tones them up. The patient should take alternate hot and cold hip baths. These are of
great value in relieving pain and reducing congestion. The hot bath should be taken first for 10
minutes, followed by a cold bath for one minute daily.
After the short fast, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for three days. The fruits should
include apples, pears, oranges, grape-fruit, grapes, sweet limes, mangoes, melons and all other
juicy fruits. This will help to clear toxins from the body and will also enable excess fat to be
reduced to some extent.
The exclusive fruit diet should be followed by a diet, consisting of two meals of fruits and one of
cooked vegetables for further seven days. The vegetable meal should be taken in the evening
and should consist of all kinds of cooked vegetables, preferably steam cooked. Thereafter, the
patient may adopt a well-balanced diet of three basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and
grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits.
The short lemon juice fast followed by an all-fruit diet and a further period on fruits and
vegetables may be repeated after two or three months if necessary depending on the progress
being made.
Pumpkin seeds have been found to be an effective home remedy for prostate problems and
many patients have been helped by their use. These seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids
which are essential to the health of the prostate.
Heavy starches,sweet stimulants and highly seasoned foods are entirely forbidden, as they
cause direct irritation on the prostate gland and bladder. The diet should also exclude spices,
condiments, salt in excess, sauces, red meats, cheese, asparagus, watercress, greasy or fried
foods, alcohol, tobacco and too much tea or coffee. The patient should avoid hurried meals and
must chew his food thoroughly and slowly. Water should be taken between meals and not at
mealtime.
The patient should avoid sexual irregularities in eating and drinking, long periods of sitting and
vigorous exercise. He should guard against constipation by taking plenty of fruits, bran and nuts.
All efforts should be made to tone up the general condition of the body. With a general
improvement in health, the condition will be greatly relieved. Surgery should be resorted to only
if the condition does not improve even after the dietary treatment and other measures outlined
here.

NATURE CURE
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is one of the most stubborn skin diseases. It is a chronic disease characterised by
thick, red, silvery, scaled patches of skin. This disease affects both sexes equally and usually
first appears at the age ranging from 15 to 30 years, although it may appear at any age. It is,
however, rare in infancy and old age. Psoriasis is not contagious.
Symptoms
Generally, the skin of the person suffering from psoriasis appears red and irritated and may be
covered with bright silvery scales. Sometimes there is also a little itching. Areas usually involved
are elbows, knees, the skin behind the ears, trunk and scalp. The disease may also affect the
underarm and genital areas. The lesions vary in size from minute papules only just visible, to
sheets covering large parts of the body. Quite often, they are discs from 1.5 cm. to several
centimeters in size. The lesions of psoriasis are always dry and rarely become infected.
Causes
The modern medical system has not been able to establish the exact cause of psoriasis. Recent
studies have shown that psoriasis involves an abnormality in the mechanism in which the skin
grows and replaces itself. This abnormality is related to the metabolism of amino-acids, the
protein chemicals which are nature’s basic building blocks for the reproduction of cell tissues.
Heredity also plays a role in the development of psoriasis as it tends to occur in families. About
30 per cent of the patients have a family history of the disease.
The factors that aggravate and precipitate the outbreak of psoriasis are injury to the skin in the
form of cuts, burns, minor abrasions, changes in the seasons, physical and emotional stress,
infections and use of certain medicines for the treatment of other diseases.
Treatment
Since psoriasis is a metabolic disease, a cleansing juice fast for about seven days is always
desirable in the beginning of the treatment. Carrots, beats, cucumbers and grapes may be used
for juices. Juices of citrus fruits should be avoided. The warm water enema should be used daily
to cleanse the bowels during the fast. After the juice fast, the patient should adopt the diet of
three basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits, with
emphasis on raw seeds and nuts, especially seasame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds
and plenty of organically grown raw vegetables and fruits.
All animal fats, including milk, butter and eggs should be avoided. Refined or processed foods
and foods containing hydrogenated fats or white sugar, all condiments, tea and coffee, should
also be avoided. After noticeable improvement, goat’s milk, yogurt and home made cottage
cheese may be added to the diet. Juice fasts may be repeated after four weeks on diet.
Vitamin E therapy has been found effective in the treatment of psoriasis. The patient should use
this vitamin in therapeutic doses from 200 to 800 I.U. a day. It will help reduce itching and scabs.
Lecithin is considered a remarkable remedy for psoriasis. The patient may take six to nine
lecithin capsules a day – two or three capsules before or after each meal. In the form of granules,
it may be taken four tablespoonfuls daily for two months. It may thereafter be reduced to two
tablespoonfuls.
Too frequent baths should be avoided. Soap should not be used. Regular sea water baths and
application of sea water externally over the affected parts once a day are beneficial. The hot
Epsom salts bath has proved valuable in psoriasis. Three full baths should be taken weekly until
the trouble begins to subside. The number of baths thereafter may be reduced to two weekly
and finally to one. The affected areas should also be bathed twice in hot water containing Epsom
salt. After the bath a little olive oil may be applied. The skin should be kept absolutely clean by
daily dry friction or sponge.
Psoriasis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap72.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:29:55 PM]
In many cases, psoriasis responds well to sunlight. The affected parts should be frequently
exposed to the sun. The daily use of a sunlamp or ultra-violet light are also beneficial.
Cabbage leaves have been successfully used in the form of compresses in the treatment of
psoriasis. The thickest and greenest outer leaves are most effective for use as compresses.
They should be thoroughly washed in warm water and dried with a towel. The leaves should be
made flat, soft and smooth by rolling them with a rolling pin after removing the thick veins. They
should be warmed and then applied smoothly to the affected part in an overlapping manner. A
pad of soft wooden cloth should be put over it. The whole compress should then be secured with
an elastic bandage.
The use of mud packs in the treatment of psoriasis has also been found highly beneficial. The
packs are made by mixing the clay with a little water and applying to the affected areas. After the
clay has dried, it is removed and fresh pack applied. Mud packs are eliminative in their action.
They absorb and remove the toxins from the deceased areas.
The patient should undertake plenty of regular exercise in fresh air, especially exposing the
affected parts, and deep breathing exercises. He should avoid all nervous tension and should
have adequate rest.

NATURE CURE
Pyorrhoea
Pyorrhoea or periodontal disease to give it a proper medical term is a disease of the teeth
socket. It is one of the most widely prevalent diseases these days. It affects the membrane
surrounding the teeth-root, with loosening of the teeth, pus formation and shrinkage of the gum.
This disease is the primary cause for tooth loss among adults.
Pyorrhoea affects persons of all ages. About half the adult population over the age of 18 suffer
from early stages of this disease. Even children of 5 years or so may have signs of the disease.
It progresses with increasing age. Unless treated properly, it may lead to loss of supporting bone
of teeth and ultimately to tooth loss.
Symptoms
The gums become tender and on pressing pus oozes out along the margin of teeth. Pus from
the cavities continually finds its way into the stomach. When the disease is far advanced the
gum become swollen and the stomach, being dosed with increasing quantities of pus, does not
function properly. Sepsis may appear in various forms, digestion is disturbed, liver trouble sets in
and the whole system is adversely affected.
Causes
Pyorrhoea is trigged by bacterial activity. A thin layer of harmful bacteria is continuously building
up in our teeth. If it is not removed by tooth- cleansing, especially after meals, it forms an
organised mass on the tooth surface in a short time. This is referred to as a „bacterial plaque”
when accumulated, bacteria in plaque produce many toxins which irritate the gums, cause them
to become inflamed, tender and bleed easily. The bacterial activity is, however, facilitated by the
lowered vitality of the system caused by acidosis as a result of wrong feeding habits. The
habitual use of white bread, white sugar, refined cereals and much meat, leads to swamping of
the blood and tissues with acid waste matter and to the development of the disease in one form
or another. Pyorrhoea is one of the many forms this swamping of the system with acid impurities
takes.
Other factors contributing to the development of pyorrhoea include injury to the gums and
supporting structures by physical and chemical irritants in the mouth, wrong brushing, stagnation
of food particles and improper use of tooth picks. In many cases, prolong tension and even
allergy can lead to this disease. In some cases, the use of the pill and pregnancy can give rise to
or aggravates the condition.
Treatment
Any treatment for pyorrhoea, to be effective, should be constitutional. It should aim at cleansing
the blood and tissues of the acid impurities which are at the root ofthe trouble. The extraction of
the teeth affected with the disease will not help clear the systemic toxaemia.
The patient should begin the treatment with a short juice fast for three to five days. The juice of a
fresh orange diluted with water on 50 : 50 basis, should be taken at two-hourly intervals from 8
a.m. to 8 p.m. during this period. If the orange juice does not agree, carrot juice may be taken.
The bowels should be cleansed daily during this period with a warm water enema. If constipation
is habitual, all steps should be taken for its eradication.
After the juice fast,the patient should spend a further three to five days on an exclusive fresh fruit
diet. IN this regimen, he should have three meals a day, at five-hourly intervals of fresh juicy
fruits such as apples, pears, grapes, grape-fruit, oranges, pineapple and melon. If losing much
weight on the all-fruit diet, those already under weight may add a glass of milk to each fruit meal.
Thereafter the patient may gradually embark upon a balanced diet, with emphasis on fresh fruits,
green salads, whole meal bread, properly cooked vegetables, cheese, nuts, and milk.
White bread, white sugar and all refined and tinned foods must be completely given up.
Pyorrhoea
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap73.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:30:13 PM]
Condiments , sauces, alcohol, coffee and strong tea as well as meat and other flesh foods
should also be avoided. The patient should also keep away from starchy and sticky foods.
The teeth and gum, like other parts of the body require exercise. This can be achieved by eating
hard and fibrous foods. Wheat is especially valuable in the prevention and treatment of
pyorrhoea. It takes time to eat wheat chappaties and as it is generally taken with other foods, it
compels the chewing of other foods also. This not only provides the needed exercise for the
teeth and gum but also a great aid to digestion.
Chewing unripe guava is an excellent tonic for teeth and gums. It stops the bleeding from gums
due its styptic effect and richness in vitamin C. Chewing its tender leaves also helps in curing
bleeding from gums and keeps the teeth healthy. A decoction of root-bark can also be beneficial
used as mouth- wash for swollen gums.
Lemon and lime are also useful in pyorrhoea due to their high vitamin C-content. They
strengthen the gums and teeth and are very effective for preventing and curing acute
inflammations of the gum margins.
Raw spinach juice is another valuable food remedy for the prevention and treatment of
pyorrhoea because of its beneficial effect on the teeth and gums. This effect is generally
enhanced if the spinach juice is taken in combination with carrot juice. A permanent aid for this
affliction has been found in the use of natural raw foods and in drinking an ample quantity of
carrot and spinach juice.
The daily dry friction and hip bath and the breathing and other exercises should form a part of
the morning routine. A hot Epsom-salt bath taken twice weekly will also be beneficial.
As regards local treatment, the teeth should be cleansed every morning and night with a little
lemon juice squeezed on the toothbrush, after it has been dipped into warm water. Afterwards
mouth should be well rinsed with warm water containing lemon juice. The forefinger of the right
hand should be rubbed gently over the gums for a minute or two after each brushing.

Rheumatism
The word rheumatism is derived from the Greek word „rheuma” which means a swelling. This
disease is recognised as one of the most serious threats to health. It is a crippling disease which
causes widespread invalidism, but seldom kills.
Rheumatism refers to an acute or chronic illness which is characterised by pain and swelling of
the muscles, ligaments and tendons or of the joints. It affects men and women, both young and
old. Quite often, this disorder extends to the heart and the values and the lining of this vital order
becomes inflamed. It is the most common cause in 80 per cent of the cases of valvular organic
diseases of the heart.
Rheumatism , perhaps,more than any other disease, although readily diagnosed, is never the
same in any two individuals. There are too many variations in the development of this disease.
Broadly speaking, however, rheumatism, which may be acute or chronic, can be roughly
grouped into two classes. These are muscular rheumatism which affects the muscles and
articular rheumatism which affects the joints. The muscular variety is, however, far less common
than that affecting the joints. In the acute form, it is often found among children and young
people, but in the chronic form, it is generally confined to adults.
Symptoms
The onset of the acute type of rheumatism is characterised by fever and rapid pulse with intense
soreness and pain. In the acute muscular type, the tissues become so sensitive that even the
weight of bed clothing aggravates the pain. The liver is found to be swollen. Acute rheumatism is
extremely painful but it leaves no permanent defects, if treated properly. It may settle into a
chronic state under a wrong mode of treatment.
The symptoms of chronic muscular rheumatism are pain and stiffness of the affected muscles.
The pain increases when an effort is made to move these muscles. IN cases of chronic articular
rheumatism, pain and stiffness are felt in one or more joints of the body, with swelling in most
cases. It is not usually fatal but there is a danger of permanent deformity.
Causes
The chief cause of rheumatism is the poisoning of the blood with acid wastes, which results from
imperfect elimination and lowered vitality. Meat, white bread, sugar, and refined cereals, to
which modern man is most addicted, leave a large residue of acid toxic wastes in the system.
These acid wastes are not neutralised due to absence of sufficient quantities of alkaline mineral
salts in the foods eaten. This upsets the acid-alkaline balance in the body and produces the
condition described as acidosis.
When there is abundant vitality, excess acids are ejected almost before they reach any
appreciable concentration in one or the other of the acute cleansing efforts such as colds and
fevers. When the vitality is low, the acid wastes are concentrated around the joints and bony
structure, where they form the basis of rheumatism. The reason why large quantities of acid
wastes piling up in the system are attracted towards body structure for storage is that lime,
which is the most prominent constituent of the bony structure, is an alkaline substance. In certain
cases, infection from the teeth, tonsils and gall bladder may produce rheuamtism. The disease is
aggravated by exposure to cold water.
Treatment
In the case of acute rheumatism, the patient should be put on a short fast of orange juice and
water for three or four days. While fasting, the bowels should be cleansed through a warm water
enema. After the juice fast, the patient should be placed on a restricted diet for 14 days. In this
regimen, orange or grapefruit may be taken for breakfast , lunch may consist of a raw salad of
any vegetables in season, with raisins, prunes, figs or dates ; and for dinner, one or two steamed
Rheumatism

vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, carrots, turnips, cauliflower, etc., and a few nuts or some
sweet fruit may be taken. NO bread or potatoes or other starchy food should be taken ;
otherwise the effect of the diet will be lost. Thereafter, the patient may gradually commence a
well balanaced diet of three basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains (ii)vegetables
and (iii) fruits.
In case of chronic rheumatism, the patient may be placed on an all-fruit diet for four or five days.
In this regimen, he should have three meals a day of fresh, juicy fruits such as apples, grapes,
peaches, pears, oranges, pineapples and grapefruit. He may thereafter gradually adopt a
well-balanced diet.
The patient should take ripe fruits and fresh vegetables in abundance. Lots of buttermilk should
be taken. The foods which should be avoided are meat, fish, white bread, sugar, refined cereals,
rich, indigestible and highly seasoned foods tea, coffee, alcohol, sauces, pickles and
condiments.
Raw potato juice is regarded as an excellent food remedy for rheumatism. One or two
teaspoonful of the juice pressed out of mashed raw potato should be taken before meals. This
will help eliminate an acid condition and relieve rheumatism. In some rural areas in Great Britain,
it is a custom for rheumatic suffers to carry a potato in their pockets, in the belief that the potato
will absorb in itself some of the acid from the sufferer’s body. The old potato is thrown away and
replaced by a new one after a few days.
The skin of the potato is also an excellent food remedy for rheumatism. The skin is exceptionally
rich in vital mineral salts and the water in which the peelings have been boiled is one of the best
medicines for the ailments caused by excess of acid in the system. The potato peelings should
be thoroughly washed and boiled for a few minutes. The decoction should then be strained and
a glassful of the same should be taken three or four times daily.
Celery is another effective food remedy for rheumatism. A fluid extract of the seeds is more
powerful than the raw vegetable. This also has a tonic action on the stomach and kidneys. Five
to ten drops of this fluid should be taken in hot water before meals. Powdered seeds can be
used as a condiment. Lemons are also valuable and the juice of two or three lemons may be
taken each day.
Other helpful methods in the treatment of rheumatism are application of radiant heat and hot
packs to the affected parts, a hot tub bath, cabinet steam bath, dry friction and a sponge bath.
Hot Epsom-salt baths are also beneficial and should be taken twice a week for three months in
case of chronic rheumatism and once weekly thereafter. The affected parts should also be
bathed twice daily in hot water containing Epsom-salt after which some olive oil should be
applied. Fresh air,deep breathing and light outdoor exercises are also beneficial. Dampness and
cold should be avoided.

NATURE CURE
Sexual Impotence
Sex is now regarded as a basic instinct like hunger. Sexual activity, however, demands complete
concentration and relaxation. It cannot be performed in haste and tension. Persons who are
usually tense and over-occupied are unable to follow these norms. Many persons, therefore,
suffer from sexual dysfunctions. The most common male sexual dysfunction is impotence or loss
of sexual power.
Symptoms
Impotence takes three forms. There is primary impotence When the man’s erectile dysfunction is
there from the very beginning of sexual activity and he simply cannot have an erection. This is a
rare manifestation of the problem. Secondary impotence is the commonest and this implies that
the man can normally attain an erection but fails on one or more occasions in between normal
activity. The third form is associated with age and is a continuous and serious form with poor
prognosis.
Causes
Since erection is the result of erotic excitement, intact nervous pathways and adequate
hormonal functioning, the pathological causes of impotence are numerous. It may occur as a
result of psychological illness such as depression, which lowers both sexual drive and erectile
function, tiredness, alcohol abuse, the therapeutic use of oestrogens, paralysis of
parasympathetic nerves by drugs or permanent damage to them and diabetes. Other causes of
impotence are abuse or misuse of the sexual organism over a long period and a devitalised
condition of the system in general.
However, the main problem of secondary impotence is the apprehension created by failure
which generates a good deal of anxiety for the next time round regarding the likelihood of failure.
If, in fact, intercourse is attempted again and the same failure results, then a vicious circle is
established. Anxiety of failure is established as an anticipatory reflex which in turn impairs the
capacity of the penis.
Treatment
Taking of drugs or so called „remedies” in case of impotence is not only useless but dangerous.
Diet is an important factor in these conditions. To begin with, the patient should adopt an
exclusive fresh fruit diet from five to seven days. In this regimen, he can have three meals a day,
at five hourly intervals, of fresh juicy fruits such as grapes, oranges, apples, pears, peaches,
pineapple and melon. The bowels should be cleansed daily during this period with a warm-water
enema.
After the all-fruit diet, the patient may gradually embark upon a balanced diet of seeds, nuts and
grains, vegetables and fruits, with generous use of special rejuvenative foods such as whey,
soured milks, particularly made from goat’s milk, millet, garlic, honey, cold-pressed vegetable
oils and brewer’s yeast. The patient should avoid smoking,alcohol, tea, coffee and all processed,
canned, refined and denatured foods, especially white sugar and white flour and products made
from them.
Certain foods are considered highly beneficial in the treatment of impotence. The most important
of these is garlic. It is a natural and harmless aphrodisiac. According to Dr. Robinson, an
eminent sexologist of America ,garlic has a pronounced aphrodisiac effect. It is a tonic for loss of
sexual power from any cause and for sexual debility and impotence resulting from sexual
over-indulgence and nervous exhaustion.
Onion is another important aphrodisiac food. It stands second only to garlic. It increases libido
and strengthens the reproductory organs. The white variety of onion, is however, more useful for
this purpose.
Sexual Impotence
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap75.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:30:43 PM]
Carrot is also considered useful in impotence. For better results, carrot should be taken with a
half-boiled egg dipped in a tablespoonful of honey once daily for a month or two. This recipe
increases sex stamina by releasing sex hormones and strengthens the sexual plexus. It is for
this reason that carrot halwa, prepared according to Unani specifications is considered a very
effective tonic to improve sexual strength.
The lady’s finger is another great tonic for improving sexual vigour. It has been mentioned in
ancient Indian literature that the persons who take five to 10 grms of root powder of this
vegetable with milk and ‘misri’ daily will never lose sexual vigour.
Dried dates, known as chhuhara in the vernacular, is a highly strengthening food. Pounded and
mixed with almonds, pistachio nuts and quince seeds, it forms an effective remedy for increasing
sexual power.
Black raisins are also useful for restoration of sexual vigour. They should be boiled with milk
after washing them thoroughly in tepid water. This will make them swollen and sweet. Eating of
such raisins should be followed by the use of milk. Starting with 30 grams of raising with 200 ml.
of milk, three times daily, the quantity of raising should be gradually increased to 50 grams each
time.
A vigorous massage all over the body is highly beneficial in the treatment of impotence as it will
revive the muscular vigour which is essential for nervous energy. The nerves of the genital
organs are controlled by the pelvic region. Hence a cold hip bath for 10 minutes in the morning
or evening will be very effective.
Every effort should be made to build up the general health level to the highest degree and fresh
air and outdoor exercise are essential to the success of the treatment. Yogasanas such as
dhanurasana, sarvangasana and halasana are also highly beneficial.
The scheme of treatment outlined above will go a long way in restoring sexual vigour, but of
course the results achieved will depend upon the age and condition of the sufferer.
Longstanding cases will obviously not get such good results from the treatment as comparatively
early cases ; and younger men will naturally tend to do better than older men.
Where the trouble is of psychological origin, treatment should be just the same , but in these
cases advice from a qualified psychotherapist would be desirable. The patient also requires
gentle handling by a willing partner.

NATURE CURE
Sinusitis
Sinusitis refers to an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the paranasal sinuses. If
often follows the common cold, influenza and other general infections. Germs which are usually
eliminated from body sometimes find their way into these sinuses or chambers on either side of
the nasal passage, leading to sinus trouble.
The sinuses consist of cavities or chambers contained in the bones situated in the head and
face region. The frontal ,maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses are the paranasal sinuses
which communicate with the nose. The frontal sinuses lie on the frontal bone directly above the
eyes. The maxillary sinuses are located one on each side of the nose under the cheekbone. The
ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses are situated behind the nose or either sideof it. These air sinuses
lighten the weight of the skull and give resonance to the voice.
Symptoms
Th symptoms of sinusitis are excessive or constant sneezing, a running nose, blockage of one
or both nostrils, headaches and pressure around the head, eyes and face. Sinus headaches are
usually felt in the forehead and in the face just below the eyes. The patient may suffer from a low
grade fever, lack of appetite, loss of sense of appetite, and toothache. He feels miserable
because of difficulty in breathing. The voice is also affected because of the blocked nose.
Causes
Sinusitis results from the congestion of the sinus passages due to catarrh. It is caused by
over-secretion of mucus in the membranes lining the nose, throat and head. This over-secretion
is due to irritation caused by toxins in the blood.
A faulty diet is thus the real cause of sinus trouble. When a person consumes certain types of
foods or drinks regularly, these, in due course, have a conditioning effect on the entire system.
As a result,some persons become more sensitive to certain allergens, whose reaction ultimately
turns into sinusitis.
The Cure
Correcting the faulty diet is of utmost importance in the treatment of sinusitis. Patients should
take a balanced diet. Most persons with sinus trouble also suffer from acidity. Their diet should,
therefore, veer to the alkaline side. The intake of salt should be reduced to the minimum as salt
leads to accumulation of water in the tissues and expels calcium from the body.
In the acute stage of the disease, when fever is present, the patient should abstain from all solid
foods and only drink fresh fruit and vegetable juices diluted with water on a 50 : 50 basis. After
fever subsides, he may adopt a low-calorie raw fruit and vegetable diet with plenty of raw juices.
After the acute symptoms are over, the patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet
of three basic food groups, namely seeds, nuts and grains ; vegetables and fruits. IN persistent
chronic conditions, repeated short juice fasts may be undertaken for a week or so at intervals of
two months.
Those suffering from sinusitis should completely avoid fried and starchy foods, white sugar,
white flour, rice, macaroni products, pies, cakes and candies. They should also avoid strong
spices, meat and products. Butter and ghee should be used sparingly. Honey should be used for
sweetening. All cooked foods should be freshly prepared for each meal. Vegetables should be
taken in liberal quantities. All kinds of fruits can be taken with the exception of those belonging to
citrus group such as lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit. Milk should be taken in liberal quantities
as it contains calcium which has a marked effect in overcoming inflammation of the tissues.
A diet rich in vitamin A is the best insurance against cold and sinus trouble. Vitamin A is the
„membrane conditioner” as it helps build healthy mucus membranes in the head and throat.
Some of the valuable sources of this vitamin are whole milk, curds, egg yolk, pumpkin, carrot,
Sinusitis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap76.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:30:54 PM]
leafy vegetables, tomato, oranges, mango and papaya.
When the sinus trouble has already developed, relief can be obtained by taking vitamin A in
large therapeutic doses of 25,000 I.U. per day. Vitamin C has also proved beneficial in the
treatment of sinusitis and the patient should take one gram of this vitamin per day in two
therapeutic doses of 500 mg. each.
One of the most effective remedies for sinus problems is to eat pungent herbs like garlic and
onion which tend to break up mucous congestion all through the respiratory tract. One should
begin with small mild doses and increase them gradually. Beneficial results can also be
achieved by adding these herbs in moderate amounts to regular meals.
Carrot juice used seperately or in combination with juices of beet and cucumber or with spinach
juice is highly beneficial in the treatment of sinus trouble. 100 ml. each of beet and cucumber
juice or 200 ml. of spinach juice should be mixed with 300 ml. of carrot juice in these
combinations.
Water Treatment
Cold application over the sinus will give great relief ; alternate hot and cold applications will also
prove beneficial. Take pans of hot and cold water, bathe the whole face with hot water – as hot
as you can bear – and then apply cold water for short duration. Nasal inhalation of steam for five
minutes every hour will also give relief.
Yogasanas such as viparitkarani, bhujangasana, yogamudra and shavasana, yogic kriyas , such
as jalneti and sutraneti and pranayamas like anuloma-viloa and suryabhedan will be beneficial in
the treatment of sinus trouble.
Plenty of sleep, adequate rest and fresh air are essential in the treatment of sinus trouble.
Patients should avoid the use of perfumes and strongly scented hair oil.

NATURE CURE
Stress
The term stress has been borrowed by biologists from engineering, where it implies an ability to
withstand a defined amount of strain. Dr. Hans Selye, a great medical genius and noted world
authority on stress, has described stress as ” a state manifested by a specific syndrome which
consists of all the non-specifically induced changes within a biological system. „
The term implies any condition that harms the body or damages or causes the death of a few or
many cells. The body immediately tries to repair the damaged cells but it can do so only if the
diet is adequate, providing a generous supply of all the essential nutrients. If, however,
rebuilding of cells is not able to keep pace with their destruction, the condition will result in
disease. The most common disease associated with stress are heart disease, diabetes,
headache and peptic ulcer. Other diseases resulting from stress are ulcerative colitis, chronic
dyspepsia, asthma, psoriasis and sexual disorders.
Reactions to stress are manifold. No one situation is stressful to all the people all the time. Some
of the factors that can produce stress are children or the lack of them, the boss or the
subordinate, the traffic ,the telephone or the lackof it, overwork or not enough to do, too much
money or too little of it, making decision, a dull routine job, lack of authority and apprehensions
about the future.
Symptoms
The body and the mind react to any stress factor. A large number of physical changes take place
at the time of stress induced arousal. The brain and nervous system become intensely active,
the pupils of the eye dilate, digestion slows down,muscles become tense, the heart starts
pumping blood harder and faster, blood pressure increases , breathing become faster,
hormones such as adrenalie are released into the system alongwith glucose from the liver and
sweating starts.
All these changes take place in a split second under the direction of the nervous system. If the
stress factors are immediately removed, no harm accrues and all the changes are reversed.
Stress in its earlier and reversible stage leads to poor sleep, bad temper, continual grumbling,
longer hours of work with less achievement, domestic conflict with spouse and children,
repeated minor sickness, absenteeism and prolonged absence for each spell of sickness,
accident proneness, feeling of frustration and persecution by colleagues and complaints of lack
of cooperation and increase in alcoholic intake.
It is essential that these symptoms are recognised early by the patients or their well-wishers and
remedies measures taken to overcome them. If, however, stress is continuous or repeated
frequently, a variety of symptoms appear such as dizziness, stiff muscles, headache, vision
problems, breathing difficulties, asthma, allergies, palpitation, digestive disorders, blood sugar
rregularities, backache, skin disorders, bowel disorders and sexual difficulties
Causes
Stress may be caused by a variety of factors both outside the body and within. External factors
include loud noises, blinding lights, extreme heat or cold, x-rays and other forms of radiation,
drugs, chemicals, bacterial and various toxic substances, pain and inadequate nutrition. The
factors from within the body include feelings of hate, envy, fear or jealousy.
Treatment
In dealing with stress, the patient should completely change his life style. He should adopt an
optimum diet which should be able to meet the nutritional demands of stress. Such diet should
obviously be made of foods which, in combination , would supply all the essential nutrients. It
has been found that a diet which contains liberal quantities of (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii)
vegetables, and (iii) fruits would provide an adequate amount of allthe essential nutrients. Each
Stress
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap77.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:31:18 PM]
of these food groups should roughly form the bulk of one of the three meals. These three basic
health -building foods should be supplemented with certain special foods such as milk,
vegetable oils and honey.
There are many foods which are helpful in meeting the demands of stress and should be taken
regularly by the patient. These are yogurt, blackstrap molasses, seeds, and sprouts. Yogurt is
rich in vitamin A, B complex and D. It relieves insomnia, migraine and cramps associated with
menstruation. Blackstrap molasses, a by-product of sugar refining process, is rich in iron and B
vitamins. It guards against anaemia and is good for heart diseases. Seeds such as alfalfa,
sunflower, and pumpkin and sprouts are rich in calcium and quite effective as deterrents of
listlessness and anxiety. Steam cooked vegetables are best as boiling causes many vitamins
and minerals to be dispelled into the water.
The leaves of holy basil, known as tulsi in the vernacular, are highly beneficially the treatment of
stress. They are regarded as adaptogen or antistress agents. Recent studies have shown that
the leaves protect against stress significantly. It has been suggested that even healthy persons
should chew 12 leaves of basil twice a day, morning and evening for preventing stress.
Certain nutrients are beneficial in relieving stress. These are vitamins A and B, minerals such as
calcium, potassium and magnesium which reduce the feeling of irritability and anxiety. Vitamin A
is found in green and yellow vegetables. Some of the valuable sources of vitamin B are
cashews, green leafy vegetables, yeast, sprouts and bananas. An element of vitamin B complex,
pantothenic acid is especially important in preventing stress. It has a deep effect on the adrenal
glands and the immune system and adequate amount of this vitamin along with vitamin A can
help prevent many of the changes caused by stress.
Potassium deficiencies are associated with breathlessness, fatigue, insomnia and low blood
sugar. Potassium is essential for healthy heart muscles. Nuts and unrefined grains are good
sources of potassium. Calcium is a natural sedative. Deficiencies can cause fatigue,
nervousness and tension. Dairy products, eggs, almonds, and soyabeans are rich sources of
calcium. Magnesium is known as nature’s tranquiliser and is associated with the prevention of
heart attack. Deficiencices may lead to excitability, irritability, apprehension and emotional
disorders. Magnesium is also necessary for absorption of calcium and potassium and is found in
many fruits, vegetables, seeds, dates and prunes.
There are certain foods which are associated with stress and anxiety and should be scrupulously
avoided by patients. These foods are caffeine and many soft drinks, which causes nervousness,
irritability and palpitation ; salt which has been associated with heart diseases; cigarettes which
cause tension, irritability and sleeplessness and which have been linked with cancer, and
alcohol which depletes vitamins of B group consider essential for reducing stress.
Regular physical exercise plays an important role in the fight against stress. Exercise not only
keeps the body physically and mentally fit, it also provides recreation and mental relaxation. It is
nature’s best tranquiliser. One can jog, run, walk or play games, depending upon one’s liking.
Walking is the simplest and safest exercise. One should take a brisk walk for 45 minutes or so
daily. Yogic asanas, kriyas and simple pranayams , beneficial for maintenance of general health
and mental relaxation, can serve as the best shock-absorbers against stress. These include
asanas like pavanmuktasana, sarvagasana, halasana, ardhamatsyendrasana, bhujangasana,
dhanurasana, yogamudra ,padmasana, trikonasana, kriyas like kunjal and jalneti
andpranayamas such as kapal bhati, anuloma- viloam, sitali , sitkari and bhramari.
Recreation and rest are equally important and patient should set a definite time for recreational
activities. They should also take a holiday at regular intervals. And above all, they should
simplify their lifestyles to eliminate unnecessary stress.

NATURE CURE
Thinness
Underweight,like over, is a relative terms, being based on the ideal weight for a given height,
built and sex. A person can be regarded as moderately underweight if he or she weighs 10 per
cent below the ideal body weight and markedly so if 20 per cent below the ideal.
Appropriate body weight is among the most important physical attributes and has a deep
influence upon the health and personality of an individual. For a healthy body, weight slightly
above the average is favorable upto the age of 30 years, as it serves as a good defense
measure against certain diseases, especially tuberculosis. Between 30 and 40 years of age, the
endeavor should be to maintain the weight at the average level as during this period, many
future diseases have their beginning. After the age of 40, it will be advisable to keep the weight
slightly below the average, so as to lighten the burden on the heart, kidney and other vital
organs.
There are two types of thin people. One type is wiry and energetic, who eat heartily but never
put on weight. Presumably, they burn up energy due to constant activity. Such persons need not
worry as chances are that they do not have any disease as such. The other type of thin persons
lack energy and drie, are unable to take normal meals and find that rich food usually makes
them sick. Their body lacks fat cells thus providing no storage place for added fat and the
calories they consume are probably wasted.
Symptoms
Underweight due to an inadequate caloric in take is a serious condition, especially in the young.
They often feel easily fatigued, have poor physical stamina and lowered resistance to infection.
Diseases like tuberculosis, respiratory disorders, pneumonia, circulatory diseases like heart
disorders, cerebral haemorrhage, nepthritis, typhoid fever and cancer are quite common among
them. The occurrence of the complications of pregnancy in your women may result from
malnutrition due to an inadequate energy intake.
Causes
Thinness may be due to inadequate nutrition or excessive bodily activity or both. Emotional
factors or bad habits such as skipped meals, small meals, habitual fasting and inadequate
exercise are some of the other causes of thinness. Other factors include inadequate digestion
and absorption of food due to a wrong dietary pattern for a particular metabolism; metabolic
disturbances such as an overactive thyroid and hereditary tendencies. Disorders such as chronic
dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea presence of parasites like tapeworm in the alimentary canal, liver
disorders, diabetes mellitus, insomnia ,constipation, and sexual disorders can also lead to
thinness.
Treatment
Diet play an important role in building up health for gaining weight. Nutrients which help keep the
nerves relaxes are of utmost importance as nervousness causes all the muscles to become
tense and the energy which goes into the tenseness wastefully uses up a great deal of food.
Although all vitamins and minerals are required for a sound health the most important ones are
vitamin D and B6, calcium and magnesium. The richest sources of vitamin D are milk, cod liver
oil and the rays of the sun. Calcium is also supplied by milk and yogurt. Magnesium can be
obtained from green leafy vegetables such as spinach, parsley, turnip, radish and beet tops.
These vegetables should preferably be taken in salad former should be lightly cooked.
Lack of appetite can result from an inadequate supply of vitamin B, which leads to low
production of hydrochloric acid by the stomach. Hydrochloric acid is essential for the digestion of
food and absorption of vitamins and minerals into the blood. It is , therefore, necessary that the
daily diet should be rich in vitamin B for normal appetite. Proper digestion and absorption of
Thinness
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap78.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:31:49 PM]
foods and regular elimination. Foods rich in vitamin B are all whole grain cereals, blackstrap
molasses, nuts, soyabean, eggs and butter. Vegetable oil is of special value to those wishing to
gain weight as it isrich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids .
Underweight persons should eat frequent small meals as they tend to feel full quickly. Meals
may be divided into six small ones instead of three big ones. These may consist of three smaller
meals and three substantial snacks between them. The weight-building quality of a food is
measured by the number of calories it contains. To gain weight, the diet should include more
calories than are used in daily activities so as to allow the excess to be stored as body fat. The
allowance of 500 calories in excess of the daily average needs is estimated to provide for a
weight gain of one pound weekly.
All refined foods such as products containing white flour and sugar should be avoided,as they
destroy health. Excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and fats may help the individual to put
on weight but this will be detrimental to general health. The diet should be tilted towards
alkaline-forming foods such as fruits and vegetables. Alkaline foods should comprise 80 per cent
of the diet. The other 20 per cent should consist of acid forming foods such as cereals, and
lentils. Beverages containing caffeine like soft drinks, coffee and tea should be curtailed.
Smoking should be given up. Water should not be taken with meals but half an hour before or
one hour after meals.
Milk Cure
An exclusive milk diet for rapid gain of weight has been advocated by some nature cure
practitioners. IN the begining of this mode of treatment, the patient should fast for three days on
warm water and like juice so as to cleanse the system. Thereafter, he should have a glass of
milk every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. the first day, a glass every hour and half the next day,
and a glass every hour the third day. Then the quantity of milk should be gradually increased so
as to take a glass every half an hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. If such a quantity can be tolerated
fairly comfortably. The milk should be fresh and unboiled , but may be slightly warmed, if
desired. It should be sipped very slowly through a straw. The milk should be unpasteurised, if
possible.
Figs are an excellent food remedy for increasing weight in case of thinness. The high
percentage of rapidly assimilable sugar make them a strengthening and fattening food.
Regular exercises like walking and dancing, yoga , meditation and massage are also important
as they serve as relaxants, reduce stress and induce good sleep. Yogasanas which will be
especially helpful are sarvangasana, halasana and matsyasana.
A balanced diet together with adequate exercise, rest ,emotional balance and the absence of
acute diseases will enable an underweight person to build a healthy body and to put on weight.

NATURE CURE
Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis refer to acute inflammation of the tonsils. It is also known as acute sore throat. Chronic
tonsillitis is a term applied to cases inwhich there is enlargement of the tonsils accompanied by
repeated attacks of infection.
The tonsils are two small lymphoid organs that lie one on each side of the throat. They can be
seen just behind the back of the tongue between two folds of membrane running upto the soft
palate. Normally, they are about the size of a lima bean but they can become very much larger if
severely infected. They are valuable organs of selective elimination and perform a two-fold
function. Firstly, they protect the throat against disease germs. Secondly, they serve as
barometers for indicating infection elsewhere in the body, when they become sore and swollen.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of tonsillitis are sore throat, fever, headache, pain in various parts of the
body, difficulty in swallowing and general weakness. The tonsils are seen to be inflamed and red
when the mouth is opened wide. In many cases, spots of pus exude from them. Externally, the
tonsillar lymph glands which lie just behind the angle of the jaw are tender and enlarged. IN
several cases there may be pain in the ear.
Causes
The chief cause of tonsilities is a toxic condition of the system generally and is brought to a head
by sudden lowering of vitality resulting from exposure and sudden chill. Tonsils enlarge and get
inflamed when the toxins cannot be got rid of through the normal channels of elimination such as
the bowels, kidneys and skin. Throat afflictions of this kind is also associated with the result of
chronic constipation, when toxin, which should should have been ejected from the system in the
normal way, are reabsorbed into the blood-stream.
Treatment
The treatment of the tonsillitis on the lines of modern medical system by means of painting and
spraying is both harmful and suppressive. It does not help to rid the system of the toxins, which
are the root of the trouble. In fact it forces these toxins back into the system, which may cause
more serious trouble later on. The correct way to treat the disease is to cleanse the system of
toxic waste through proper dietary and other natural methods.
To begin with, the patient should fast for three to five days by which time serious symptoms
would subside. Nothing but water and orange juice should be taken during this time. The bowels
should be cleansed daily with a warm water enema during the period of fasting. A cold pack
should be applied to the throat at two-hourly interval during the day. The procedure is to wring
out some linen material in cold water, wrap it two or three times around the throat and cover it
with some flannelling.
The throat may be gargled several times daily with neat lemon juice. Gargle made from the
fenugreek seeds is very effective in severe cases. To make such a gargle , two tablespoonful of
fenugreek seeds should be allowed to simmer for half an hour in a litre of water and then set
aside to cool. The entire quantity should be used as a soothing gargle in a day with beneficial
results. A hot Epsom -salt bath taken every day or every other day will also be beneficial.
After the acute symptoms of tonsillities are over, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for
further three or four days. In this regimen, three meals of fresh, juicy fruits such as apples,
grapes, grapefruit, oranges, pears, pineapple, peaches and melon may be taken. The juice of
fresh pineapple is most valuable in all throat afflictions of this kind. After the all-fruit diet the
patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet on the following lines :
Breakfast : Fresh fruits, or grated raw carrot or any other raw salad, and milk. Prunes or other
dried fruits may be added , if desired.
Tonsillitis

Lunch : Steamed vegetables, as obtainable, and whole wheat chappatis. Vegetables likes bitter
gourd and fenugreek are specially beneficial.
Dinner : A good-sized raw salad of vegetables as obtainable, sprouts seeds as mung beans and
alfalfa seeds, wholemeal bread and butter or cottage cheese.
Raw vegetable juices are also valuable in the treatment of tonsillitis. Juice of carrot, beet and
cucumber taken individually or in combination are especially beneficial. Formula proportion
found to be helpful when used in combination are carrot 300 ml., beet 100ml., and cucumber
100 ml.
The daily dry friction and hip bath as well as breathing and other exercises should all form part of
the daily health regimen. A hot Epsom-salts bath once or twice a week can also be taken
regularly with beneficial results.
Tonsillits canbe successfully treated by the natural methods outlined above. Surgery for the
removal of the tonsils is necessary only in very rare cases, when tonsils are seriously diseased,
rugged and contain hopelessly incurable pus pockets.

NATURE CURE
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis or consumption is one of the most dreaded diseases. It is a major health problem
in India and often rated the number one killer. Over five lakh people die of this disease every
year.
Tuberculosis is caused by a tiny germ called tubercle bacillus which is so small that it can be
detected only by a microscope. The germ enters into the body through the nose, mouth and
windpipe and settles down in the lungs. It multiplies by millions and produces small raised spots
called tubercles.
Tuberculosis is not hereditary but an infectious or communicable disease. Those suffering from
the disease for a considerable time eject living germs while coughing or spitting and when these
enter the nose or mouth of healthy persons, they contract the disease. Mouth breathing and
kissing as well as contaminated food and water are also responsible for spreading tuberculosis.
Symptoms
Tuberculosis is of four types, namely of lungs, intestines, bones and glands. Pulmonary
tuberculosis or tuberculosis of the lung is by far the most common type of tuberculosis. It tends
to consume the body and the patient loses strength, colour and weight. Other symptoms are a
raise in temperature especially inthe evening, a persistent cough and hoarseness, difficulty in
breathing, pain in the shoulders, indigestion,chest pain, and blood in the sputum.
Causes
Lowered resistance or devitalisation of the system is the chief cause of this disease. This
condition is brought about mainly by mineral starvation of the tissues of the body due to an
inadequate diet ; and the chief mineral concerned is calcium. In many ways, therefore
tuberculosis is the disease of calcium deficiency. There can be no breakdown of the tissue and
no tuberculosis growth where there is adequate supply of organic calcium in the said tissue.
Thus an adequate supply of organic calcium in the system together with organic mineral matter
is a sure preventive of the development of tuberculosis.
Lowered resistance also results from a variety of other factors such as suppression of the
disease by drugs and medication, use of stale, devitaminised and acid forming foods, eating
wrong combination of food, such as taking fruits with starchy foods at one meal, causing
fermentation the stomach ; wasting of energy through excessive loss of semen and living in
ill-ventilated houses. Other causes include exposure to cold, loss of sleep, impure air, a
sedentary life, overwork, conta- minated milk, use of tobacco in any form, liquor of all kinds, tea,
coffee and all harmful drinks. The factors prepare the ground for the growth of germs of various
kind, including tubercle baccilus. These germs may be present in the body but are quite
harmless for those who are full of vitality and natural resistance.
Treatement
Tuberculosis is no longer considered incurable if it is tackled in the early stages. An all round
scheme of dietetic and vitality building programme along naturallines is the only method to
overcome the disease. As a first step, the patient should be put on an exclusive fresh fruit diet
for three or four days. He should have three meals a day of fresh, juicy fruits, such as apples,
grapes, pears, peaches, oranges, pineapple, melonor any other juicy fruit in season. Bananas,
dried or tinned fruits should not be taken. For drinks, unsweetened lemon water or plain water
either hot or cold may be taken. If losing such weight on the all-fruit diet, those already under
weight may add a glass of milk to each fruit meal.
After the all-fruit diet, the patient should adopt a fruit and milk diet. For this diet, the meals are
exactly the same as the all-fruit diet, but with milk added to each fruit meal. The patient may
begin with a litre of milk the first day and increase by quarter litre daily upto two to two and a half
Tuberculosis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap80.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:32:32 PM]
litres according to how the milk agrees. The milk should befresh and unboiled , but may be
slightly warmed if desired. It should be sipped very slowly. The fruit and milk diet should be
continued for four to six weeks. Thereafter, the following dietary may be adopted :
Breakfast : Fresh fruits, as obtainable, and milk. Prunes or other dried fruits may also be taken,
if desired.
Lunch : Steamed vegetables as available, one or two whole wheat chappatis and a glass of
buttermilk.
Dinner : A bowl of raw salad of suitable vegetables with wholewheat bread and butter. Stewed
fruit or cooked apple may be taken for dessert.
At bed time : A glass of milk.
The chief therapeutic agent needed for the treatment of tuberculosis is calcium. Milk, being the
richest food source for the supply of organic calcium to the body, should be taken liberally. IN
the dietary outlined above at least one litre of milk should be taken daily. Further periods on the
exclusive fruit diet followed by fruit and milk diet should be adopted at intervals of two or three
months depending on the progress. During the first few days of the treatment, the bowels should
be cleansed daily with the warm-water enema and afterwards as necessary.
The patient shooed avoid all devitalised foods such as white bread, white sugar, refined cereals,
puddings and pies, tinned, canned and preserved foods. He should also avoid strong tea, coffee,
condiments, pickles, sauces, etc.
The custard apple is regarded as an effective food remedy for tuberculosis. It is said to contain
the qualities of rejuvenating drugs. The Ayurvedic practitioner prepares a fermented liquor called
sitaphalasava from the custard apple in its season for use as medicine in the treatment of
tuberculosis. It is prepared by boiling custard apple pulp and seedless raisins in water on slow
fire. It is filtered when about one third of water is left. It is then mixed with powdered sugar and
candy and also the powder of car- damom, cinnamon and certain other condiments.
Indian goosebeary has proved to be an effective remedy for tuberculosis. A tablespoonful each
of fresh amla juice and honey mixed together should be taken every morning in this condition. Its
regular use will promote vigour and vitality in the body within a few days. Regular use of radish is
also beneficial.
The patient should take complete rest of both mind and body. Any typeof stress will prevent
healing. Fresh air is always important in curing the disease and the patient should spend most of
the time in the open air and should sleep in a well-ventilated room. Sunshine is also essential as
tuber bacilli are rapidly killed by exposure to sun rays. Other beneficial steps towards curing the
disease are avoidance of strain, slow massage, deep breathing and light occupation to ensure
mental diversion.
Water Treatment
Certain water treatments are helpful in cases of tuberculosis. The patient’s vital resistance can
be built up by a carefully planned graduated cold bath routine twice a day. The intensity of the
cold applications should be gradually increased to achieve satisfactory results. However, care
must be taken to keep the patient from catching a chill. A short hot fomentation with alternate
short cold application to the chest and back, and in the stomach region or a neutral immersion
bath ( water temperature 98 O to 100 o F) for an hour just before retiring at night is also
beneficial.
Certain yogic practices are beneficial in the treatment of tuberculosis in its early stages. These
include asanas like viparitakarani, sarvangasana and shavasana and jalneti kriya and
anuloma-viloma pranayama.

NATURE CURE
Varicose Veins
Veins are thin-walled vessels through which the impure blood is carried back to the heart. They
usually have valves which regular the flow of blood towards the heart. Varicose veins are a
condition in which veins become enlarged, dilated or thickened.
Varicose veins can occur in any part of the body but generally appear on the legs. The veins of
the legs are the largest in the body and they carry the blood from the lower extremities upwards
towards the heart. The direction of circulation in these vessels is largely determined by gravity.
Though there are no mechanical obstacles to blood-flow, it is usually the incompetence of the
valve which leads to an increase in intravenous pressure.
Varicose veins have an unsightly appearance and can be dangerous. A blood clot within a large,
greatly dilated vein may breakaway and move toward the heart and lungs, causing serious
complications. Varicose veins are about thrice as common as occurrence in women as in men.
This disease is rare in rural undeveloped societies.
Symptoms
The first sign of varicose veins is a swelling along the course of the veins. This may be followed
by muscular cramps and a feeling of tiredness in the legs behind he knees. In some cases, the
normal flow of blood towards the heart may be reversed when the patient is in an upright
position. This results in venous blood collecting in the lower part of the legs and the skin
becomes purplish and pigmented, leading to what is known as varicose eczema or varicose
ulcers. Both conditions cause severe pain.
Causes
A varicose condition of the veins results from sluggish circulation due to various factors such as
constipation, dietetic errors, lack of exercise and smoking. Standing for long periods and wearing
tight clothings can also lead to sluggish circulation. Pregnancy may cause varicose veins due to
increased pressure in the pelvis and abdomen, which slows down the flow of blood from the
lower extremities to the heart. Women usually suffer from this condition in the early years of
child-bearing. Obesity can also cause varicose veins.
Treatment
For a proper treatment of varicose veins, the patients should, in the beginning, be put on a juice
fast for four or five days or on all-fruit diet for 7 to 10 days. A warm water enema should be
administered daily during this period to cleanse the bowels and measures should be taken to
avoid constipation.
After the juice fast or all the fruits- diet ,the patient should adopt restricted diet plan. In this
regimen, oranges or orange and lemon juice may be taken for breakfast. The midday meal may
consist of a raw salad or any of the vegetables in the season with olive oil and lemon juice
dressing. Steamed vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, carrots, turnips, cauliflower and
raisins, figs or dates may be taken in the evening. No bread or potatoes or other starchy food
should be included in this diet, or otherwise the whole effect of the diet will be lost.
After the restricted diet, the patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet with
emphasis on grains, seeds, nuts, vegetables and fruits. About 75 per cent of the diet should
consist of raw vegetables and fruits. All condiments , alcoholic drinks, coffee, strong tea, white
flour products, white sugar, andwhite sugar products should be strictly avoided. A short fast or
the all-fruit diet for two or three days may be undertaken every month, depending on the
progress.
Raw vegetables juices, especially carrot juice in combination with spinach juice, have proved
highly beneficial in the treatment of varicose veins. The formula proportion considered helpful in
this combination are carrot 300 ml.and spinach 200 ml to prepare 500 ml of juice.
Varicose Veins
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap81.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:32:42 PM]
Certain nutrients, especially vitamin E and C have also been found effective in the treatment of
this disease. The patient should take vitamin C in a therapeutic dose upto 3,000 mg. and Vitamin
E in therapeutic doses from 600 to 1200 I.U. daily. This will relieve him of pain and leg cramps
associated with varicose veins.
The alternate hot and cold hip bath is very valuable and should be taken daily. The affected
parts should be sprayed with cold water or cold packs should be applied to them. A mud pack
may be applied at night and allowed to remain until morning. A hot Epsom-salt bath is also very
valuable and should be taken twice a week.
Precautionary Measures :
The following precautionary measures will help prevent varicose veins and ease symptoms if the
disease has already developed :
When on a long plane or train trip get up and walk around every half an hour. If on a long
trip by car, stop once in a while and get out to stretch your legs.
1.
When you are reading or watching television, elevate your feet and rest your legs on a
chair or stool.
2.
Mobility helps general circulation. Walking is beneficial as the movements of leg muscles
help push the blood upwards. Swimming or walking in deep water does much the same
thing. The great pressure of the water against legs helps move the blood up the veins and
protects against stagnation.
3.
Sleeping with feet raised slightly above the level of the heart helps the blood flow away
from ankles. In case of serious troubles with varicose veins, the bed should be raised by
placing blocks of six inches height under the posts at the foot. This is, however, not
advisable for person with heart trouble.
4.
If confined to bed, movement of feet and legs should be encouraged to help keep
circulation moving youthfully.
5.
Round garters should never be worn. They cut off the venous circulation, thus raising
pressure in the veins and increasing the risk of varicositis.
6.
Elastic girdles should not be worn continuously , especially when seated for a long time,
such as at a desk, or during a plane, train or auto trip. The girdles bunch up and hamper
the return flow of blood.
7.
Pregnant woman should wear elastic stockings and lie down occasionally during the day.
Getting up soon after delivery is also helpful in blood circulation.
8.
These easy-to-follow flex-exercises are beneficial as they ease the cause of varicose veins and
thereby relieve the resultant symptoms. Sun bathing and deep breathing exercises are also
helpful.
Certain inverted yoga postures such as viparitakarni, sarvagasana, and shirshashana are
beneficial in the treatment of varicose veins as they drain the blood from the legs and reduce
pressure on the veins. They help to relax the muscles and allow the blood freely in and out of the
lower extremities. Padmasana, gomukhasana, vajrasana and shalabhasana are also beneficial.

NATURE CURE
Venereal Diseases
There has been an alarming increase in venereal or sexually transmitted diseases ( V.D. or
S.T.D.) due to promiscuity and free sex. These diseases are caused by bacteria and germs and
canbecome very serious if not treated properly and early. The most common disease in this
category are syphilis and gonorrhoea.
Syphillis is probably one of the oldest disease of the human race. Sexual contact is the
commonest way in which this disease is spread through a community. But many of those who
contract the disease are innocent. Little children are sometimes born with this disease. It may
also be transmitted from one person to another by kissing or handling infected clothing or other
articles.
Symptoms and Causes
Syphillis usually begins as a small ulcerating type of lesion which may occur anywhere in the
body, the most common sites being the penis and vulva or in the vagina. Violent or rough sex
behaviour often results in abrasions and thus the virus comes in direct contact with the blood.
Gonorrhoea is usually transmitted by sexual contact. An acute inflammation of the male urethra
or the vagina of the female due to infection through pus by the gonorrhoea germs is known as
gonorrhoea. A person having a high degree of toxaemia and a low vitality may develop this
condition with the slightest secretion. A clean blood stream and a high vitality on the other hand
may protect one from this disease.
The wise plan, however, is to avoid all chances of infection. The common is the sexual act in
which one of the partners has this disease. Sometimes it may be contracted through other
sources or it may be hereditary.
Gonorrhoea is most difficult disease to identify than syphillis. About two-thirds of women with this
disease have no symptoms at all or at most very trivial ones which may be passed off as an
apparently harmless vaginal discharge. The usual symptom in the male is a discharge from the
tip of the penis.
If the disease is neglected or improperly treated, it may spoil the entire blood stream which may
produce gonorrheal rheumatism and cause affection of the eyes. Proper treatment is therfore,
highly important soon after the occurrence of the infection.
Treatement
Syphillis and gonorrhoea are quite amenable to successful treatment by proper dietary and other
natural methods, leaving no ill-effects to mar the future life and happiness of their victims.
Suppressive drugs employed by the modern medical system in the treatment simply halts the
active manifestations of the disease in the victim’s system for the time being. The
disease-poisons and the metallic drugs are still left in the patient’s system and these have a
most destructive effect upon the tissues and structures of the body, especially upon the nervous
tissues.
The only safe way of treating venereal disease is fasting. All cases of syphilis and gonorrhoea
can be cured through the agency of the fast. This will not only prevent dreaded after- effects, but
will also greatly enhance the wholegeneral health level of the patient by a thorough cleansing of
his system. The juice of an orange, in a glass of warm water, may be taken during thisperiod. If
orange juice disagrees, vegetable juice may be taken. Each day while fasting, it should be
ensured that the bowels are cleansed of the poisonous matter thrown off by the self-cleansing
process now set up by the body. This can be achieved through a warm water enema. The fast
may be continued from seven to 14 days.
After the fast, the patient, may adopt an exclusive fruit diet for further five days. He should
thereafter gradually embark upon a balanced diet for three basic food groups as outlined in the
treatment for impotence (chapter 75), avoiding all the foods mentioned therein.

Major R. Austin, a doctor in the Royal Army Medical Corps in Great Britain in his book, ‘ Direct
Paths to Health’ mentions a case of a syphilis patient aged 27 years who was cured only by
dietetic treatment. Dr. Austin narrates the case as under :
„Mr. A. , aged twenty-seven, came to me suffering from tertiary syphilis. The classic drugs has
been used, but it had not stopped the ravages of the disease. His face and body were covered
with rupial eruptions – ulcers covered with a scab-and the odour from his body was most
unpleasant.
„I prescribed a fourteen-day fast with a saline purge daily, plenty of water and as much strained
orange juice diluted with water as he liked to drink during the day. At the end of fourteen days he
was allowed two meals a day, one of them consisting of nothing but purely cooked vegetables
and some butter, and the other of milk and fresh fruit.
„In six weeks from the date of commencing the treatment, all the eruptions had disappeared, as
well as the foul odour of the body, and he was feeling remarkably well and has remained so ever
since. „
Vegetable juices are highly beneficial in the treatment of venereal diseases. Juices which are
particularly helpful include those of carrot, cucumber, beet and spinach. The patient may make
liberal use of carrot juice either in combination with spinach juice or cucumber or beet.
Amaranth (chaulai ka saag) is considered highly beneficial in the treatment of gonorrhoea. About
25 gms. of the leaves of this vegetable should be given twice or thrice a day to the patient in this
condition.
Fresh juice of the flowers of the drumstick is very useful in the treatment of gonorrhoea. For
better results, this juice should be given twice daily with tender coconut water. It acts as a
diuretic tonic medicine in this disease.
A decoction of fresh lady’s fingers has also been found useful in treating gonorrhoea. A cupful of
mucilage of lady’s finger is mixed with ripe banana and a glassful of buttermilk. The mixture is a
very effective remedy for gonorrhoea. Four capsules of lady’s finger are cut into 2.5 c.m. pieces
and are boiled in quarter litre of water for about 15 minutes. After cooling the pieces are
squeezed andthe mucilage is extracted and strained through a muslin cloth.
In case of syphilis , a ‘T’ pack should be employed for an hour for the local treatment of the initial
sore and it should be repeated twice daily. All clothes, sheets and towels , used by the patient
should behandled carefully to avoid new sores and to prevent infection to others. It is better to
boil all such articles. In case of eruptions on the different parts of the body, a wet sheet pack for
an hour is beneficial. It will help bring out all the poisonous substances of the skin by producing
more eruptions which will gradually dry up.
Application of pelvic packs occasionally for an hour is one of the most effective methods of
treatment in case of gonorrhoea. As irritation in the prostate gland and urethra is present in this
disease, a hot hip bath for eight minutes has a beneficial effect as it tends to relieve irritation.
An occasional steam bath for eight minutes is of outstanding value in both syphilis and
gonorrhoea. It will help remove the poisonous substances from the body and enable the kidney
to perform its work effectively. An overall massage has also beneficial effects on the entire body.

NATURE CURE
Menstrual Disorders
The maternal instincts of a woman arise almost entirely from the female hormones within her
body. These hormes are produced in a pair of almond-shaped organs, known as the ovaries.
They are situated deep within the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus or womb.
The two major female hormones are estrogen and pro-gestrone. These hormones give the
woman strength and stamina and are largely responsible for the peculiarly feminine shape of her
body. The ovaries start producing large quantities of estrogen, the dominant female hormone
when a girl reaches about 12 years of age. This enables her to grow rapidly and develop into a
normal young woman. The commencement of menstruation at this time heralds the reproductive
phase of her life, when she can have children. This phase may last for about 35 years.
The menstrual flow is connected with the female function of ovaluation or the passing of the egg
cell or ovum from the ovary to the womb ready for fertilisation. It is a provision of nature to
cleanse the inner surface of the womb and enable reproduction to take place normally. The flow
normally lasts for about four days and has a rhythm of 28 days.
The main problem relating to menstrual flow are painful menstruation, stoppage of menstruation
and excessive menstruation, besides pre-menstrual tension which is discussed in the next
chapter (84). These disorders are quite common, but they are not normal. Healthy women, living
according to natural laws and eating diets of natural foods do not suffer from the monthly ordeal.
Most menstrual disorders are caused by nutritional deficiencies which lead to deficiency and
improper metabolism of the female sex hormones. These disorders are now discussed briefly.
Dysmenorrhoea : Painful menstruation or dysmenorrhoea, as it is called in medical parlance, is a
very common occurrence these days. This disorder is traceable to a debilitated and toxic
condition of the system in general and of the sex organs in particular due to a wrong diet, wrong
style of living and nervous exhaustion. The pain may be felt either two or three days before or
immediately before or during the flow.
Pain starting two or three days before the flow usually shows that the ovaries are not functioning
properly. This is a glandular misfunction and a carefully planned natural diet will usually put
matters right. For local treatment, hot sip baths on alternate nights for a week before the period
is due will be highly beneficial. Between periods, cold hip baths will increase the tone of the
ovaries.
Pain immediately before the flow commences is indicative of uterine flexion, which means that
the position of the womb is abnormal. A professional examination should be arranged to
ascertain the position of the womb and corrective exercises undertaken under professional
advice. Uterine flexion often occurs in women who are so thin that they have lost internal fat and
the ligament, on which the womb is suspended. General treatment along dietetic lines is
essential along with corrective exercises.
When the pain occurs during menstruation, it usually means that the womb itself is inflammed.
This condition can be relieved by proper attention to diet and hot hip baths just before the period
is due and cold hip baths between the periods. The hot hip bath is generally taken for eight to
ten minutes at a water temperature of 100 o F which can be gradually increased to 120 o F. The
cold hip bath should be taken for 10 to 15 minutes at a water temperature of 50 o F to 65 o F.
Amenorrhoea or stoppage of menstrual flow : Stoppage of menstruation is natural during
pregnancy and at the menopause, but abnormal at any other time. It is true that some women
have very infrequent periods but this seems to be peculiar to their particular type and cannot be
termed as stoppage. If , however, the periods have been quite regular for a number of years and
then suddenly stop or the cycle becomes frequently interrupted, it denotes a debilitated and
devitalised condition of the system, especially of the sex organ. Causes contributing towards this
condition are anaemia, worry, grief, fright or other serious emotional disturbances, malformation
of the womb, tuberculosis, displacement of womb and debility, especially after a serious illness.
The treatment for amenorrhoea should be directed towards the rectification of the
Menstrual Disorders
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap83.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:33:09 PM]
disease-condition responsible for causing the trouble in the first place. Along with this, a course
of general health-building treatment should also be carried out. If serious emotional disturbance
has caused the trouble, an initial period of quietness and rest is essential to the treatment. All
excitement, excessive mental strain and study should be avoided for a considerable period.
Menorrhoea or excessive menstruation : Profuse menstrual flow is common in certain women
and usually denotes a blood deficiency, especially blood calcium. A variety of causes may be
responsible for this trouble, but toxic condition of the system is at the root of the matter. It is
essential to keep the patient absolutely quiet and confined to bed. The bottom of the bed should
be raised 10 cm to 13 cm. IN case of excessive bleeding, a gauze may be inserted in the vagina
as a temporary measure.
For the first few days the diet should consist only of milk and raw vegetables. No stimulants
should be taken as they tend to increase the flow. When the bleeding has stopped, great care
should be taken to avoid over exertion or straining the body in any manner. A full nature cure
diet should then be adopted using fresh vegetables raw salads twice daily. As a long term
measure, what is needed is a scheme of treatment which will thoroughly cleanse the system of
toxic material.
Treatment
The various disorders relating to menstrual flow are indicative of the low level of a woman’s
health and a toxic condition of her sex organism, which has been brought about by wrong habits
of living, especially wrong dietary habits. These disorders are made more deep-seated and
chronic by modern medical efforts to deal with them through the suppressive agency of surgery
and drugs. The disorders being systemic in origin, can be tackled only by treating the system as
a whole so as to remove the toxicity from the body and build up the general health-level of the
sufferer.
To undertake such a scheme of all round health-building treatment, the sufferer from menstrual
disorders should begin with an all-fruit diet for about five days. In this regimen, the patient should
have three meals a day of fresh, juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, papaya, oranges,
pineapple, peaches and melon. No other foodstuff should be taken; otherwise the value of the
whole treatment will be lost. However, if there is much weight loss on the all-fruit diet, those
already underweight may add a glass of milk to each fruit meal. During this period the bowels
should be cleansed daily with a warm water enema.
After the all-fruit diet, the sufferer should adopt a well- balanced diet on the following lines :
Upon rising : A glass of lukewarm water mixed with the freshly squeezed juice of half a lime
and a spoon of honey.
Breakfast : Fresh fruits such as apple, orange, grapes, papaya, banana and milk.
Lunch : A bowl of freshly prepared steamed vegetable such as carrot , cabbage, cauliflower,
swuash, and beans, two or three whole wheat chappatis.
Mid-afternoon : A glass of carrot juice or sugarcane juice.
Dinner : A large bowl of fresh green vegetable salad using all available vegetable such as
carrot, cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, radish, red beets and onion and mung bean sprouts.
Bed-time snack : A glass of fresh milk or an apple.
The diet factor is of the utmost importance. Fruits and salads ,nature’s body-cleansing and
health-restoring foods, must form the bulk of the future diet alongwith whole grains, nuts and
seeds, especially in sprouted forms. Frequent small meals should be taken instead of few large
ones to prevent low blood sugar which is common during menstruation. The foods which should
be avoided in future are white-flour products, sugar, confectionery, rich cakes, pastries, sweets,
refined cereals, flesh foods, rich, heavy, or greasy foods, tinned or preserved foods, strong tea,
coffee, pickles, condiments and sauces. Smoking, if habitual, should be given up completely as
it aggravates menstrual disorders.
A further short period on all -fruit , say two or three consecutive days can be undertaken at
Menstrual Disorders
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap83.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:33:09 PM]
monthly intervals, according to the need of the case. The morning dry friction and cold hip baths
should form a regular feature of the treatment. All cold baths should however , be suspended
during the menstrual period.
Certain remedies have been found useful in menstrual disorders. Cooked banana flower eaten
with curd is one of the more important of such remedies. The banana flower appears to increase
progesterone hormone and reduce the bleeding.
Beet juice has been found very effective for menstrual disorders. It should be used in small
quantities of 60 to 90 grams, at a time two or three times a day in these conditions.
Coriander seeds are highly beneficial in the treatment of excessive menstruation. Six gramsof
these seeds should be boiled in half a litre of water. It should be taken off the fire when only half
the water remains. Sugar candy should be added to it and the patient should drink it when it is
still warm.
Ginger has been useful in menstrual disorders. A piece of fresh ginger should be pounded and
boiled in a cupful of water for few minutes. The infection sweetened with sugar should be used
thrice daily after meals as a medicine for dysmenorrhoea, and amenorrhoea due to exposure to
cold winds and taking cold baths.
Sesame seeds are also useful in menstrual disorders. Half a teaspoonful of powder of these
seeds taken with hot water twice daily acts excellently in reducing spasmodic pain during
menstruation in young unmarried anaemic girls. Its regular use, two days prior to the expected
periods, cures scanty menstruation. Warm hip bath containing a handful of bruised sesame
seeds should be simultaneously taken alongwith this receipt.
Safflower seeds have also been found to be beneficial in the treatment of painful menstruation.
A decoction prepared by boiling two teaspoonfulsof powdered seeds in 120 ml. of water should
be given as a remedy for this condition. Dried flowers mixed with confection of rose can also be
given as a medicine for this purpose.

NATURE CURE
Premenstrual Syndrome
The premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a variety of symptoms which recur in the same
phase of the menstrual cycle. These generally make their appearance two to seven days before
the onset of menstruation and are relieved once the menses start.
Approximately , 40 per cent of menstruating women suffer from premenstrual tension and it
occurs mostly in women over 30 years of age. IN some women, the onset of symptoms seems
to coincide with ovulation and may then persist until menstruation commences. IN some rare
cases, relief from the premenstrual syndrome may be obtained only with the cessation of the
menstrual flow.
Symptoms
The onset of this syndrome is abrupt, generally with a headache which is often accompanied by
vomiting. A general feeling of depression and irritability permeate the entire experience. What is
worse, these symptoms intensify progressively, making the last day of the PMS the worst.
Tension headaches are common during this period, but in some cases, migraines attacks occur
with severe pain and vomiting. The patient suffers from breast tenderness, which is sometimes
so severe that it is almost unbearable. There may also be abdominal bloating , accompanied in
some cases, by odema of the ankles and hands. Some women resort to dieting to get rid of the
abodminal bloating but this only leads to fatigue and depression. Others may experience a
craving for sweet foods.
Some of the less common symptoms are exacerbation of epilepsy dizziness, back ache, hoarse
voice, greasy hair , acne and allergic reactions.
Patients suffering from premenstrual tension may show a gain of weight of one kg or more in the
latter part of the menstrual cycle due to salt and water retention. The retention of fluid is partly
due to ovarian steroids, but there is also an increased output of anti diuretic hormone from the
posterior pituitary gland.
Diagnosis
There is no specific laboratory diagnosis of the premenstrual syndrome. The problem can be
diagnosed on the basis of past history showing a clear, recurrent relationship between a stage of
the menstrual cycle and the onset of symptoms as well as the coincidence of relief with the start
or cessation of menstruation. The patient may maintain a personal diary about her symptoms
and feelings during those days. The record should be kept for atleast three cycles.
Causes
The causes behind the premenstrual syndrome still remain unexplained. Some authorities
believe that deficiency of hormone progesterone may result in PMS but this has not yet been
satisfactorily proved. Emotional stress can often contribute to the symptoms, and the social
relationship of the patient needs to be reviewed.
A team of researchers at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore and John Hopkins University School of
Medicine, London, through carefully controlled studies concluded that dietary deficiencies
particularly that of vitamin E and vitamin B6 or pyridoxine are the most common causes of PMS.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms. Where only mild symptoms are
experienced , the problem can be elevated by a change of routine. Extra work and stressful
situation should be avoided. Fluids should be moderately restricted and care should be taken not
to add extra salt to the food.The patient’s partner and family members should be educated about
all the facets of the PMS. The patient should not take any oral contraceptives as these may
cause fluid retention and lowering the plasma levels. Hormonal imbalance and infections of the
uterus can be helped by a natural diet regimen.
Premenstrual Syndrome

As most women feel tension arising from chronic constipation it is essential to treat this condition
first. In constipation, the putrefying faecal matter may be reabsorbed into the bloodstead, and
the same blood, if supplied to the brain, will cause gradual enervation. Constipation can be
relieved by a lukewarm water enema and liberal intake of seasonal fruits and vegetables and
simple fibrous meals.
Other treatment for the PMS include regular cold hip baths for 10 to 15 minutes twice a day. This
will congestion and inflammation of the uterus and connected organs. Tension will also be
dissipated with this treatment. Hot foot baths followed by a cold compress to the lower abdomen
and the inner surfaces of the thighs also help to relieve uterine congestion and tension.
If the cold hip bath is not practicable, a wet girdle pack applied twice a day on empty stomach is
very beneficial for clearing up uterine congestion and improving bowel function.
All these statements should be suspended during the menstrual flow.
Diet pays a significant role in preventing premenstrual syndrome. The patient should avoid
refined carbohydrates, sugars, coffee, tea, tobacco, other stimulants, oily, fried or spicy food and
all meats.
A regular practice of yogasanas, especially those recommended for strengthening the
genito-urinary system will be very useful in overcoming premenstrual syndrome. These asanas
are bhujangasana, shalabhasana, vajrasana, paschimotanasana, ardhamatsyendrasana and
trikonasana. Other helpful measures are brisk walks and abdominal exercises which are good
for strengthening the abdominal muscles and pelvic organs.
Great relief can also be obtained by manipulating the tender points gently, on the big as well as
other toes of the feet. Manipulation on the middle portion of the leg foot which relates the uterus
and vagina will help to correct the disorder of the uterus.
Mental poise is an important factor. Negative mental attitudes like fear, worry, anger, jealousy ,
tension and inferiority complex should be eliminated by positive thinking, meditation and good
company.

NATURE CURE
Menopausal Problems
The menopause or a woman’s change of life is a perfectly normal event which occurs in the mid
or late forties. It signifies the end of the female reproductive period of life which commenced at
adolescence in the early teens.
There are several misconceptions about menopause. Many women at this time feel that they are
growing old and that they are well past their full physical vigour. Other women feel that the
menopause brings a cessation of sexual pleasure. These apprehensions are far from true.
Menopause may be considered an end to women’s fertility but certainly not to her virility. It does
not decrease a woman’s physical capacity or sexual vigour or enjoyment.
Symptoms
During the menopause, the entire chain of endocrine glands is disturbed, particularly the
gonads, thyroid and pituitary. In a really healthy woman, the menopausal change takes place
without any unpleasant symptoms. The only sign that the „change ” taking place is the cessation
of menstrual flow. There are, however, many women who do not enjoy good health due to
dietetic errors and a faulty style of living. In these cases, the menopausal change often leads to
all kinds of distressing physical, emotional and nervous symptoms and manifestations.
Hot flashes, night sweats, nervous tension, menstrual disturbances, insomnia, diminished
interest in sex, irritability and depression are the typical symptoms of menopause. Other
symptoms are chilly feelings, fatigue, palpitation, dizziness, headaches and numbness. Not
every women will get these severe reactions. The severity or otherwise of the symptoms depend
on a variety of factors such as general health, previous surgery and radiation. Menopause and
its problems are usually over when menstruation stops.
Causes
The annoying symptoms associated with menopause arise from the fact that the ovaries are no
longer producing their normal amount of estrogen, the dominant female hormone. Anything
which interferes with the normal functioning of the ovaries may also bring about these
symptoms. The same strange feelings may occur if the ovaries are removed by surgery because
of disease. This can also result from heavy X-ray therapy or the use of radiation.
A lack of normal hormone balance may also result in a severe backache. This is caused by
thinning of the bones arising from the low level of estrogen in the bloodstream. Unless properly
treated, this may eventually lead to a collapse of one or more of the vertebrae.
Treatment
Although menopause cannot be avoided, it can be postponed for as long as 10 to 15 years and
it can be made a smooth affair when it comes, with a proper nutritional programme, special
supplements and the right mental attitude.
When a woman is affected by the menopausal change to any marked extent, it is a sure sign
that her body is in a toxic condition and in need of a thorough cleansing. For this purpose, she
should undergo a course of natural health building treatment.
Diet is of utmost importance in such a scheme of treatment. In fact the problems at menopause
are often much more severe than that at puberty largely because the diet has been deficient for
many years prior to its onset, in many nutrients such as protein, calcium, magnesium, vitamins
D, E and pantothenic acid.
The diet should be made up from three basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains (ii)
vegetables and (iii) fruits. The emphasis should be on vitamin E-rich raw and sprouted seeds
and nuts, unpasteurised high quality milk and home-made cottage cheese and an abundance of
raw, organically grown fruits and vegetables. Plenty of freshly made juices of fruits and
vegetables in season should also be included in this diet.
Menopausal Problems
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap85.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:33:34 PM]
All processed, refined and denatured foods, such as white sugar, white flour and all articles
made with them, should be completely eliminated. Take special supplements such as vitamins
C, B6 and pantothenic acid, which have a specific property of stimulating the body’s own
production of estrogen or enhancing the effect of the existing estrogen.
During menopause, the lack of ovarian hormones can result in a severe calcium deficiency. For
this reason, a larger than usual intake of calcium may help greatly. Vitamins D and F are also
essential for assimilation of calcium. Any woman having difficulty at this time should supplement
her daily diet with 1,000 units of natural vitamin D, 5000 milligrams of magnesium and two grams
of calcium daily, which can be supplied by one quart of milk.
During the manopause, the need for vitamin E soars 10 to 50 times over that previously
required. Hot flashes, night sweats and other symptoms of menopause often disappear when 50
to 100 units of vitamin E are taken daily. The symptoms recur quickly if the vitamin is
discontinued.
Of late, it has become popular to take estrogen to prevent or postpone menopausal symptoms.
Although hormone therapy is apparently successful and will, in many cases, help the patient to
feel and act younger, it cannot be recommended in all cases because of its carcinogenic effect.
If, however, estrogen therapy is undertaken, it should never be administered at the same time as
vitamin E therapy. Ingestion of estrogen and vitamin E should be seperated by several hours.
Beet juice has been found very useful in menopausal disorders. It should be taken in small
quantities of 60 to 90 ml at a time thrice a day. It has proved much more permanently helpful
than the degenerative effects of drugs or synthetic hormones.
Carrot seeds have also been found valuable in menopausal tension. A teaspoonful of the seeds
should be boiled in a glassful of cow’s milk for about 10 minutes and taken daily as a medicine in
this condition.
Plenty of outdoor exercise, such as walking, joggng, swimming, horse-riding or cycling, is
imperative to postpone menopause. Other helpful measures in this direction are avoiding mental
and emotional stress and worries, especially worry about growing old, sufficient sleep and
relaxation and following all general rules of maintaining a high level of health. The healthier a
woman is, the fewer menopausal symptoms she will experience.
The menopause can be made a pleasant affair by building bodily health and a sane mental
outlook. From puberty to menoapuse , a woman has been somewhat of a slave to her female
glands. At specified intervals she was inconvenienced by her menstural periods. She bore
children, enduring the pain and discomfort of pregnancy. Menopause relieves her of this
bondage to her femininity. She can now experience some of the happiest days of a woman’s life.
A whole new life is given to her, if she is wise enough to prepare for it and accept it as such.

NATURE CURE
Childbirth the Natural Way
Childbirth, in the normal way, should be a purely natural function with very little pain or
discomfort to the women concerned. It is so even today that with primitive races. But many
civilised women appear to find the bearing of children a task fraught with grave risk and suffering
and attended by numerous minor or serious after-effects. This is solely due to wrong dietary
habits and a faulty style of living. Really healthy mothers will always have an easy time when
pregnant.
Pregnancy makes many demands on the prospective mother, the most important being her
nutritional needs and those of the unborn child. Studies of nutrition of women during pregnancy
shows a definite relationship between the diet of the mother and the condition of the baby at
birth. These studies have also shown that some of the complications of the pregnancy such as
anaemia, toxemia and premature delivery may result from a diet inadequate in the nutritional
needs of the mother and the baby.
The process of childbirth becomes painful mainly due to a large foetus in the womb. This results
from an excessive intake of denatured foods such as white flour products, white sugar, refined
cereals, meat and other flesh foods during pregnancy. Other factors contributing to the suffering
of the women include lack of exercise, unhygienic habits of living and restrictive garments.
It is quite wrong to assume that the larger the baby at birth, the healthier it will be. The weight
ofthe baby should be about three to three and a half kg. at birth. If the weight is more than that,
delivery will be painful for the mother. Such a child will also be covered with unnecessary fat and
watery tissue, which is really waste matter and an impediment to health.
A proper diet during pregnancy is the most important factor for not only having a painless
childbirth but also for giving birth to a healthy baby. The idea of ” eating for two „, which is so
prevalent today, is absurd and it leads to overeating, resulting in an unusually , heavy baby. The
diet during pregnancy should consist of natural , vital foods and minimum intake of today’s
denatured food products. The unborn child will require an adequate amount of orgnic minerals
from its mother for building of bones and tissues and this can be supplied by natural food such
as fruits, raw vegetables, whole meal bread, and milk, unnatural foods like white bread, sugar,
meat, pudding and pies are very deficient in organic mineral matter and their intake during
pregnancy leads to loss and decay of teeth, general debility and other ailments after childbirth.
Pregnancy is rendered more difficult in case of habitual constipation. IN the advanced stage, this
is aggravated by the pressure of the enlarged uterus on the bowels. This can be avoided by
eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables of high fibre content. The expectant mother should
drink eight to ten glasses of water. She should not delay going to the lavatory when there is the
urge. In severe constipation, a lukewarm water enema may be taken once every week.
The diet for expectant mothers should be planned along the following lines by securing a safe
and easy child birth and a healthy child :
Breakfast : Fresh fruit in season or grated raw carrot, or any other raw salad and milk. Prunes
or other dried fruit may also be taken, if desired.
Lunch : Steamed vegetables, as obtainable, whole wheat chappatis and a glass of buttermilk.
Dinner : A good-sized raw salad of any suitable vegetables, sprouted mung beans, whole wheat
bread, butter or cottage cheese and prunes or other dried fruit as dessert.
Besides proper diet, the expectant mother should be given daily a dry friction and cold sponge
during the first five or six months of pregnancy. A dry friction bath can be taken with a rough dry
towel or with a moderately soft bristle brush. If a brush is used, the procedure should be as
follows : take the brush in one hand and begin with the face, neck and chest. Then brush one
arm, beginning at the wrist and brushing towards the shoulders. Now stoop down and brush one
Childbirth the Natural Way
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap86.htm (1 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:33:44 PM]
foot, then the ankle and leg. Then do the other foot and leg and next the hips and certain portion
of the body. Continue brushing each part until the skin is pink. Use the brush quickly backward
and forward on every part of the body. If a towel is used, it should be fairly rough, and the same
process should be followed. This bath excites to increased activity all the functional processes
lying at or near the surface of the body.
The cold sponge is taken as follows: wring out a towel in cold water, and rub the whole body in
the manner described for the friction bath. If, during the process of rubbing the towel becomes
too dry, it should be wrung out again.
The expectant mother should also take breathing and other mild exercises. After the sixth
month, tepid water may be used for the sponge. Exercises should either be modified or
suspended altogether. A good walk should be taken daily right upto the end of the eighth month
and all household duties should be performed in a normal way. This will keep the muscles of the
womb and pelvis in good condition and will ensure safe and easy childbirth. The exercise
should, however, always be well within the capacity of the prospective mother and all undue
strain, worry or excitement should be avoided.
Recoupment
For the really healthy woman, recoupment after childbirth poses no problem. Women among
primitive races are able to rise and go about their duties immediately after delivery. The woman
of civilised nations are however, seldom able to do so. In fact it is customary to keep them in bed
for a considerable time after child birth. It is usually due to abnormal slowness with which the
generative organs assume the former position.
As in the case case of pregnancy, diet plays an important role in the recoupment after childbirth.
The diet of the mother for the first two days after confinement should consist of only fresh juicy
fruits with some warm milk. A salad with thin whole meal bread and butter may be added to the
diet the next day. The diet may thereafter be extended gradually until it approaches the pre-natal
diet outlined above.
The diet should exclude white bread or white flour products, sugar, jam, pastries, puddings, pies,
heavy, greasy and fried foods. Strong tea, coffee, alcohol, condiments, pickles, and vinegar
should be strictly avoided.
It is most essential that the baby nurses at the mother’s breast to stimulate production of milk,
especially during the critical period following birth. This is important for a number of reasons. The
infant, nursing at the breast, causes the uterus to contract. The contraction of uterus will help
expel any portion of the placenta which may still remain following delivery. It will also stop the
mother from haemorrhaging. If those mothers who are afraid of losing their figures would try
nursing their babies, they would discover their figures actually improve after child birth.
Feeding of children
During the first forty eight hours immediately after birth, the mother’s breasts generally do not
produce milk. This is in accordance with nature’s plan that the infant should fast during this
period. He will have no need for food and none should be given. All children after this period
should be breast-fed where possible. Breast feeding is the natural and ideal way of feeding the
infant. Mother’s milk is pure, fresh and easily digestible. It helps the child to grow. The child
should be given four feeds a day at four-hourly intervals but no feeds should be given during the
night. If the child wakes up at night only water should be given. Babies should be breast-fed for
atleast 8 months as this is nature’s way of providing all the required nutrients during this period.
Recent research has shown that the mother’s body is able to react to infections in the child and
the bacteria in the baby’s mouth leads to the production of appropriate anti- bodies in the
mother’s milk. Breast-fed babies are, therefore, less prone to gastrointestinal and respiratory
diseases. If for any reason, it is impossible to breast feed the child, it should be fed on goat’s
milk or cow’s milk, diluted with water, with milk sugar added. The child should not be given
artificially prepared, patent or tinned milk foods. When a mother can partly feed a child, she
should give it two feeds of her own and two bottle feeds or one of her own and three bottle
feeds. Those mothers who suffer from diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart trouble,
should not breast feed their babies.
Where children are entirely breast-fed, they need nothing more than the milk they receive from
their mothers. Children on bottle feed, should be given some orange juice daily,in addition to the
Childbirth the Natural Way
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap86.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:33:44 PM]
bottle feeds. NO baby, whether breast- fed or bottle -fed should be given anything except milk
and orange juice for the first 10 to 12 months of existence. NO starchy food or anything else
should be given during this period. If they are given starchy foods such as bread, or oatmeal
before weaning , it will lead to the early development of such child ailments as cough, colds,
measles, whooping cough and so on as babies lack the proper enzymes needed for their
digestion before that age.
At the age of one year, a baby should be given about a litre of milk with fruit juices daily. Never
force a baby to take food if it does not want to, and never overfeed. If a baby shows no
inclination for food or a certain day, it should be given as much as it wishes for and no more. The
assumption that the baby should have a certain amount of food every day have no basis. On the
other hand, if the baby does not appear to be satisfied with the quantity of its food and wants
more at a feed, it should be given as much as it wants.

NATURE CURE
Habitual Abortion
The term abortion refers to the expulsion of the foetus from the uterus before the complete
formation of the placenta. It is also commonly known as miscarriage. This may occur any time
before 28 weeks of gestation but is most common during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Once
in five to ten pregnancies terminates in this way.
When miscarriage occurs repeatedly at a certain period of pregnancy, it is termed ” habitual
abortion „. It is one of the most perplexing problems of gyanaecology and a major cause of
maternal mortality. A woman who has suffered two or more terminations of this sort
consecutively is said to be a case of habitual abortion.
Symptoms
Pains of the same character as labour pains and bleedings are the two main symptoms of
possible abortion. Bleeding may lead to the detachment of the ovum from the uterus. It now acts
as a foreign body in the uterus which stimulates uterine contraction. This generates a lot of pain
and the foetus is thrown out of the body. In later weeks when the foetus is well developed, if it
dies in the uterus, it leads to maceration of the body. The abdomen is filled with blood and the
skin colour appears red. Sometime after a few more days, the foetus gets dehydrated and the
fluid surrounding the foetus gets dried away.
Causes
One of the most important cause of habitual abortion is a congenital malformation of the uterus.
A hysterogram, before the woman becomes pregnant, will be useful in detecting any abormality,
so that she is made aware of her case. Deficient functioning of the thyroid is another important
cause of habitual abortion.
Most cases of habitual abortion, however, result from an inadequate secretion of the female
hormone progesterone. This hormone is responsible for the development of the placenta. In the
early stage of pregnancy, the gonadotrophin secreted by the cytotrophoblast of the chorion, one
of the foetal membranes, stimulates the corpus lotemum to produce more oestrogen and
progesterone, both essential female hormones. At a later stage, by about the 12th week of
pregnancy, the placenta takes over the production and secretion of the hormones. Any
deficiency of these hormones at this stage is detrimental to the growth of the foetus. It is,
therefore, during this critical period,when habitual abortion mostly occurs. Lack of progesterone
is especially instrumental in expelling the fertilised ovum and it results in an abortion.
Another important cause of habitual abortion may be chronic constipation which leads to
putrefaction of morbid matter and wastes in the large intestines. This in turn causes
auto-intoxication and inflammation of the reproductive organs, which can lead to a miscarriage.
Abortion may result from the excessive use of certain drugs. Drugs enter the foetus through the
placenta. They may act quite differently on the foetus from the mother. Drugs which have
adverse effects on the foetus are called ” tera-togenestic drugs ” and may include painkillers,
antibiotics, tranquillisers and hormones. A high dosage of such drugs may produce contraction
in the uterus and induce abortion.
Other cause of habitual abortion are excessive physical exercise, mental excitement, sexual
intercourse, syphilis infections fibroid tumours, blood incompatibly of husband and wife, systemic
disorders in the mother like hypertension, chronic nephritis, diabetes and even her mental
condition.
Thorough examination of the pregnant woman’s blood, urine, blood pressure and their related
parameters help in detecting maternal disorders. Serological tests, for example, prove the
presence or absence of syphilis infection. Pelvic examinations help to diagnose uterine
displacements , fibroids or ovarian tumours. A hysterogram also helps to detect uterine
malfunctions. The exact cause must be ascertained for prescribing correct treatment.
Habitual Abortion
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap87.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:33:54 PM]
Treatment
Conditions such as hormonal imbalance, infections of the uterus and chronic constipation can be
remedied by natural methods of treatment . For congenital uterine malformation, however,
recourse may have to be taken to surgery.
On appearance of the first symptoms of possible abortion, the patient should be put to bed
immediately and the bottom end of the bed raised. Cold compresses at 60 o F temperature
should be applied continuously to the inner portion of the thighs, the perinium, the vagina and
the lumbar region. Compresses should be changed every 15 to 20 minutes. When the compress
is removed for renewing, the surface should be rubbed with a warm dry flannel for half a minute
or until reddened, before applying the compress again. Simultaneously, a hot application should
be made to the feet.
A neutral or warm water enema is an effective remedy for a constipated colon which is a major
cause for the toxaemic condition of the uterus. This will relieve the bowels and thus reduce any
excessive pressure on the uterus and other pelvic organs. A regular cold hip bath for a duration
of 10 minutes twice every day is very helpful in relieving congestion and inflammation of the
uterus. Wet girdle packs, twice every day, on an empty stomach, also relieve congestion’s and
infections in the uterus and other pelvic organs. It is advisable that women with a history of
repeated abortions should adopt these techniques before conception and continue them during
the first two months of pregnancy.
Hormonal imbalances can be set right by practicing yogic exercise. Yogic asanas such as
sarvangasana, vajrasana, bhujan-gasana, shalabhsana, dhanurasana, paschimottashana, and
trikonasana are especially useful in improving thyroid, pituitary, adrenal and gonaidal endocrine
functions and should be practised regularly by women who suffer from imbalances of this sort,
upto the first two months of pregnancy.
Dietary control is of utmost importance in the prevention of habitual abortion. Pregnant women
should avoid refined carbo- hydrates, sugars, non-vegetarian food, coffee and tea. They should
also avoid oily and fried foods as such foods lead to constipation, which is very detrimental to
pregnancy. Smoking or chewing tobacco and drinking alcohol must be strictly avoided.
The pregnant woman’s diet chart should be on the following lines :
Breakfast : Fresh fruits and a glass of milk mixed with a teaspoonful of honey.
Lunch : Steamed vegetables, boiled rice or whole wheat chappatis and soup or buttermilk.
Midafternoon : A glass of fruit juice or a whole fruit.
Dinner : Cooked diet similar to the afternoon meal may be taken till the seventh month. After
that, fruits, nuts, germinated seeds and sprouts, milk, buttermilk and soups must form her diet
because they reduce the workload on the digestive system and thus help avoid indigestion,
constipation and related disorders.
Indian gooseberry, known as amla in the vernancular, is considered useful in preventing
abortion. A teaspoonful of fresh amla juice and honey mixed together should be taken every
morning during the period of pregnancy. It will also prevent infections and help in the absorption
of iron. A brew made from safflower foliage is also said to prevent abortion.
Pregnant women with a history of repeated abortions should take all other precautions
necessary to prevent miscarriage. They should avoid sexual intercourse, during early
pregnancy. They should go to bed early and rise early and take regular exercise, but avoid
fatigue. They should sleep on a hard mattress with their heads low, and remain calm and cool.
All these measures will greatly help in correcting the phenomenon of habitual abortion.

NATURE CURE
Female Sterility
Sterility in case of the female refers to the incapacity to conceive and give birth to a living baby.
Sterility or failure to reproduce must be distinguished from frigidity which denotes failure to
perform the sex act or performing it imperfectly.
It may be relevant to first examine the mechanism of conception. The sperms of the male are
injected into the vagina during sexual intercourse. At the very same time an alkaline fluid is
secreted from the vaginal walls. The sperms are able to move up the womb and through the
fallopian tubes to fertilise the ova or the female egg only when this fluid is present.
Two factors are important in ensuring a normal secretion of this fluid. Firstly, there should be an
adequate nerve supply to the vagina ducts. This is the reason why very nervous women fail to
conceive. The nervous system in such cases must be strengthened by adequate rest, relaxation
and a proper diet The second important factor is to ensure that the fluid flowing from the vaginal
walls is alkaline. If this is not so, the sperms are destroyed by the acidic fluid, usually present in
the vaginal canal and womb. To ensure the necessary alkalinity of the fluid, it is essential to take
a predominantly alkaline diet, with a liberal intake of raw vegetables and fruits, and also to
eliminate acid-forming foods.
Causes
Sterility in a female may be due to physical defects, physical debility and functional faults.
Physical defects or structural abnormalities of the genitals and reproductive organs may be
congenital or accidental and can result from malformation or sagging of the womb, collapse of
the fallopian tubes and the rigidity of the hymen.
Sterility due to physical debility can result from poor health as a consequence of certain acute or
chronic diseases. These diseases may affect not only the physical body but also the genital
organs. Complaints like gonorrhea, syphilis and inflammation of the fallopian tubes also come
under this category. Chronic anaemia, constipation and leucorrhoea aggravate these conditions.
Sterility may also be caused by loss of essential glands or organs of reproduction or a decrease
in their functions, brought about by a variety of fators such as surgical injuries, tumour,
excessive radiation and lack of normal menstrual cycle. Obesity or emaciation due either to
dietetic errors or faulty metabolism are yet other factors which can contribute to female sterility.
Psychological factors like emotional stress, tension, mental depression, anxiety and fear may
also result in psychosomatic sterility. This conditions generally temporary and can be corrected
by psychotherapy.
Treatment
Structural defects can be ascertained by a thorough physical examination and radiology and can
be set right by surgery. Physical debility and the functional faults of organic nature can be cured
by simple and effective methods of natural treatment. These methods include hygienic living,
optimum nutrition and following all the laws of nature.
Fasting is the best remedy for the treatment of disorders resulting from toxins in the system. A
short fast of two or three days should be undertaken at regular intervals by women who are
unable to bear children. The bowels should be cleansed by a warm water enema during the
period of fasting and afterwards when necessary. This will have a beneficial effect not only on
the digestive system but also on the surrounding organs of the urinary and genital system.
Diet is the most important factor in the treatment of sterility. It should consist of three basic
health building food groups namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits.
These foods should be supplemented with milk, vegetable oils and honey. The best way to take
milk is in its soured form, that is curd and cottage cheese. Each food group should roughly form
the bulk of one of three meals. About 70 to 80 per cent of the diet should consist of foods in their
natural uncooked states, because cooking destroys much of the nutritional values of the most
Female Sterility

foods. Sprouting is an excellent way of consuming seeds, beans and grains in their raw form in
the process of sprouting the nutritional value is multiplied, new vitamins are created and the
protein quality is improved.
The daily menu of a health-building and vitalising diet may be on the following lines :
Upon rising : A glass of lukewarm water with a juice of half a lemon and a spoonful of honey.
Breakfast : Fresh fruits like apple, orange, banana, grapes and grapefruit and a glass of milk.
Lunch: A bowl of steamed vegetables seasoned with vegetable oil or butter and salt, two or
three whole wheat chappatis and a glass of buttermilk.
Mid-afternoon : A glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice.
Dinner : A large bowl of salad made up of fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, beetroots
and onion, and sprouted moong or bengal gram.
Bed-time : A glass of milk or an apple.
Excessive fat, spicy foods,strong tea, coffee, white sugar, white flour, refined cereals, flesh foods
, greasy or fried foods should all be avoided. Smoking or drinking , where habitual must be
completely given up.
Certain nutrients, especially vitamin C and E and zinc have been found helpful in some cases of
sterility. The woman who is unable to conceive should take daily 1000 mg. of vitamin C, 100 I.U.
of vitamin E and 30 mg. of zinc.
Certain remedies have also been found useful in the treatment of female sterility where there are
no organic defects or congenital deformities. One such remedy is a tender roots of the banyan
tree. These roots should be dried in the shade and finally powdered. This powder should be
mixed five times their weight with milk and taken at night for three consecutive nights after the
monthly periods are over. No other food should be taken with this. It shoud be repeated after the
completion of menstrual cycle every month till conception takes place.
An infusion of the fresh tender leaves of jambul fruit (jamun) taken with honey or buttermilk, is an
excellent remedy for stenility and miscarriage due to ovarian or endometrium functional
disorders . The leaves presumably stimulate the secretion of progesterone hormone and help
the absorption of vitamin E.
The eggplant is also useful in overcoming functional sterility. Cooked tender eggplants, should
be eaten with butter-milk everyday for a month or two for this purpose. It increases the capacity
to absorb vitamin E and stimulate the secretion of progesterone.
Other helpful measures in overcoming female sterility are mud packs and cold water treatment
like a hip bath and a wet girdle-pack. These treatments will greatly improve internal circulation in
the genital organs and will relieve them of all kinds of inflammation and other abnormalities. Mud
packs may be applied to the abdomen and sexual organs.
For a hip bath, a common tub may be used. The tub may be filled with sufficient water to cover
the hips, when a person sits inside it. The cold hip bath should be taken for 10 minutes at a
water temperature of 50 O to 65 o F. For wet girdle pack, a thin underwear wrung in cold water
should be worn. Over this, a thick dry cotton or woolen underwear should be worn . All cold
treatments should be suspended during menstruation.
Certain yogasanas which help tone up the gonads should be practised regularly for overcoming
female sterility. These asanas are sarvagasana, matyasana, ardhamatsyendrasana,
paschimottanasana, and shalabhasana.
All these practices together with clean habits, proper rest and relaxation will go a long way in
overcoming female sterility.

NATURE CURE
Leucorrhoea
Leucorrhoea, commonly known as whites, refers to a whitish discharge from the female genitals.
It is an abnormal condition of the reproductive organs of women. If not treated properly in the
initial stages, it may become chronic.
Recent investigations have shown that secretions from the uterus and upper part of the vagina
flow down and are reabsorbed in the lower parts of the vagina. This is the normal constant flow
within the female organs. The whitish discharge is, however, caused by the presence of infection
in any of these tissues and a variety of other factors . The condition may continue for weeks or
months at a time.
Symptoms
In addition to the whitish discharge from the vagina, the patient feels weak and tired. She also
suffers from pain in the lumbar region and the calves and a dragging sensation in the abdomen.
Other symptoms are constipation, frequent headaches and intense itching. In the chronic form,
the patient feels irritable and develops black patches under the eyes.
Causes
Leucorrhoea does not develop suddenly in an acute form. It denotes a devitalised and toxic
condition of the system generally. The condition also involves one or many parts of the
reproductive organs. Whenever the body is loaded with toxins due to wrong dietary habits and
the eliminative organs such as skin, bowels, lungs, and kidneys are unable to eliminate the
toxins, the body produces a profuse discharge or elimination through the mucous membrane of
the uterus and vagina in the form of leucorrhoea. In the case of advanced, chronic inflammatory
conditions of these organs, it leads to discharge with pus, offensive in odour and colour varying
from cream to yellow or light green.
In young girls, leucorrhoea may occur during the few years before and after the start of the
menstrual flow . It may be due to an irritation of the genital organs caused by various factors
such as dirt, soiled under garments, intestinal worms and excessive mental stimulation of sex or
masturbation. Some excess secretion is normal when the girl reaches puberty, due to
overactivity in her sex glands and organs. This usually disappears within a short time.
In your women, leucorrhoea may occur during intermenstrual periods, due to thickening of the
mucous membrane in the reproductive organs. Such a discharge is associated with painful
menstruation and other menstrual disorders.
In mature women, a profuse yellowish discharge, associated with burning on urination, may be
caused by gonorrhoea. This is a serious infection which should be treated promptly. During the
child-bearing years, from adolescence to the mid-forties, the infection may sometimes follow the
birth of a child due to damage of the cervix during delivery. This is increased by prolonged
ill-health, anxiety, neurosis, sedentary occupation and standing for long periods. If not treated
properly, this infection may continue for months or even years and may spread to other areas of
the genital tract.
Leucorrhoea may also result from a chill. A chill causes inflammation of the womb and vaginal
membranes. Other common causes are the displacement of the womb and unhygienic
conditions which attract bacteria to the geniral organs.
The Cure
A total health-building scheme is essential for the removal of the systemic toxicity which is
primarily responsible for the disease. Such a scheme should consist of correct dietary habits,
proper sleep, exercise, fresh air and sunshine.
To begin with, the patient should fast for three or four days on lemon water or fruit juices for the
elimination of the morbid matte from the body. During this period the bowel should be cleansed
Leucorrhoea
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap89.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:34:19 PM]
daily with a warm water enema. In case of habitual constipation, steps should be taken for its
eradication.
After a short fast, the patient may adopt an all fruit-diet for about a week. In this regimen , she
should have three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits such as apples, pears, grapes, grapefruit,
oranges, pineapple and peaches. If the patient is suffering from anaemia, or is very much
underweight, the diet may consist of fruits and milk. The patient may then gradually embark
upon a well-balanced diet consisting of three basic food groups namely (i) seeds, nuts and
grains, (ii) fruits and (iii) vegetables.
Fresh fruits or fruit juices only should be taken between meals. All forms of white four, white
sugar, fried and greasy foods, condiments, preserves, tea and coffee should be avoided.
An effective home remedy for leucorrhoea is lady’s finger. A decoction of this vegetable is
prepared by boiling of 100 grams of the fresh capsules, cut transversely, in half a litre of water
for 20 minutes and then strained sweetened. This decoction, given in doses of two or three
ounces frequently, is highly beneficial in all irritable conditions of genito-urinary organs including
leucorrhoea.
Fenugreek seeds are another excellent home remedy for leucorrhoea. They should be taken
internally in the form of tea and also used as a douche. For a douche, the solution should be
much stronger than tea. Two tablespoonful of fenugreek seeds should be put in a litre of cold
water and allowed to simmer for half an hour over a low flame. It should then be strained and
used as a douche.
Treatment through water is extremely beneficial in curing leucorrhoea. A cold hip bath twice a
day for 10 minutes will help relieve congestion in the pelvic region and facilitate quick elimination
of morbid matter. A warm vaginal douche at 30 o to 40 o C is beneficial to general cleansing and
elimination of the purulent discharge. The procedure is to fill the douche can with 1 1/2 litre of
warm water and hang it at a level of three feet above the body. The patient should lie with the
hips slightly raised above the body and a special nozzle applied for this purpose should be oiled
and inserted slowly into the vagina. The flow can be regulated by the small value at the nozzle.
In severe cases of leucorrhoea, the douche should be done daily.
The passive inflammation of the affected organs can be cured by regular hot hip baths at 40 o C
for 10 minutes and regular use of wet girdle pack for 90 minutes every night. For a hot hip bath
an ordinary bath tub may be used. It should be filled with water at 40 o C. The patient should sit
in the tub, keeping the legs outside, after taking a glass of cold water. The head should be
covered with a wet cloth. A cold water bath should be taken after this treatment. For the wet
girdle pack, a thin cotton underwear and another thick or woolen underwear are required. The
thin underwear should be wrung in cold water and worn by the patient. The thick dry underwear
should be worn above the wet underwear. If the patient feels chill, she should be covered with a
blanket.
Yogasanas, especially those which improve muscles of the abdomen and uterus are highly
beneficial and should be practised regularly. These asanas are paschimottanasana,
sarvagasana, halasana, padmasana, bhujansana, and shalabhasana.
The patient should completely relax and should avoid mental tension and worry. Abdominal
exercises and walking are also helpful.

NATURE CURE
Inflammation of the Uterus
The uterus, often called the womb, is the most delicate organ of woman. It is liable to disorders
of various kinds. Inflammation of this organ is common occurrence in women. It may be acute or
chronic.
The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped muscular organ, situated in a bonny frame called the pelvis.
It is seven centimeter long, five cm. in breadth and about 2.5 cm. thick. Its capacity is roughly
three cubic centimeters. The lower narrow end of the uterus which opens into the vagina is
called the cervix. The upper broad part is called the body of the uterus or the corpus.
The inflammation which may affect the lining membrane of the uterus is called endometritis.
When it affects the muscular coat and substance of the uterus, it is termed metritis. Endometritis
may be confined to the lining membrane of the cervix or neck of the uterus or it may attack the
lining membrane of the entire organ. Commonly it is called catarrh of uterus.
Symptoms
The symptoms of acute endometriosis are slight fever, headache, general debility, loss of
appetite, pain in the back and lower part of the abdomen and pelvis, and itching tendency in the
vagina. IN chronic endometriosis, symptoms are the same, but not so severe as in the acute
form. The only troublesome symptom is the discharge which may be either clear or opaque and
yellow. This disease may produce sterility.
Chill, fever, rapid pulse and breathing, nausea, local pain and discharge are the symptoms of
acute metritis. This is a very rare case, but it may occur after confinement on account of
infection. Chronic metritis may occur for many reasons and is probably the most common
diseases among women. The symptoms are disorders of menstruation, more or less profuse
leucorrhoea, constipation, lack of vitality, weakness in the back and the limbs, pain in the lower
portion of the back and a tendency to abortion.
Causes
Inflammation of the uterus may be caused by sudden chill, or by exposure to cold during
menstruation. The disease sometimes occurs because of the medicines applied for the purpose
of stimulating the menstrual flow. Other causes are the use of irritants to produce abortion, the
use of strong purgatives, the insertion of instruments and preventives, and excessive sexual
indulgence. Sometimes bicycle riding, hose back riding and dancing may also cause
inflammation of the uterus among weak and underweight women. The displacement of the
uterus in any form may also lead to this condition.
Treatment
If the inflammation is caused by a chill or exposure to cold during menstruation, the patient
should start the treatment with a hot leg bath. This may be replaced by hot hip bath after two or
three days. In case of pain, hot and cold hip baths will be beneficial. The water should be
changed from hot to cold, every two minutes and this should be repeated thrice.
As this disease produces the tendency towards constipation, the patient should take an enema
once daily with warm water as can be comfortably borne by the patient. It is also advisable to
apply alternate compress on the abdomen just before employing enema.
In the chronic form the treatment should aim at increasing the general vitality. To begin with, the
patient should resort to fasting on orange juice and water for two or three days. The procedure is
to take every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. the juice of an orange diluted with warm water on
50 : 50 basis. If the orange juice does not agree, juices of vegetable such as carrots and
cucumber may be taken. A warm water enema may be taken each day while fasting to cleanse
the bowels.
After the short juice fast, the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for about two days, taking three
Inflammation of the Uterus
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap90.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:34:35 PM]
meals a day of fresh juicy fruits such as apples, pears, grapes, grapefruit, orange, pineapple
peaches and melon.
After the juice fast the patient should follow a well- balanced diet of seeds, nuts, and grains,
vegetables and fruits. This diet should be supplemented with milk, yogurt, butter-milk, vegetable
oil and honey. A further short juice fast or periods on the all-fruit diet may be necessary at
intervals of a month or two, according to the needs of the case. If constipation is habitual, all
steps should be taken for its eradication.
The foods which should be avoided are : white flour products, sugar, confectionery, rich cakes,
pastries, sweets, refined cereals, flesh foods, rich, heavy and greasy foods, tinned or preserved
foods, pickles, condiments, and sauces.
The patient should also undertake moderate exercise and walking in fresh air as it will help
increase general health and vitality. Yogic asanas such as sarvangasana, bhujangasana,
uttanasana, and shavasana are also beneficial in the treatment of inflammation of the uterus.
No real cure is possible unless the system as a whole is treated. The blood has to be purified,
the nerves strengthened and the waste deposits accumulated in the system eliminated before
the trouble can be completely overcome.
Inflammation of the Uterus
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap90.htm (2 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:34:35 PM]
NATURE CURE
Prolapse of the Uterus
Prolapse of the uterus refers to the downward displacement of the vagina and uterus. The word
prolapse is derived from the latin procidere which means with effect to fall. This disorder is more
common in our country than in the western world.
The uterus is held in position by adequate ligaments Besides, it has the support of the muscular
structures of vagina and all other local tissues and muscles. Due to the laxity of support by
muscles, tissue and ligaments, the uterus sags downwards.
Symptoms
A woman suffering from prolapse of a uterus feels that something is coming down through the
vagina. She feels a sense of fullness in the region of the bladder and rectum. Other symptoms
include dragging discomfort in the lower abdomen, low backache, heavy menses and milk
vaginal discharge. There is also an increase in the frequency of urination and the patient feels
difficulty in total emptying of the bladder. There may also be a burning sensation due to infection.
The woman may experience difficulty in passing stools and complete evacuation of bowels.
These symptoms become more pronounced before and during menstruation. The condition may
also result in difficulty in normal sexual intercourse and sometimes sterility.
Causes
There are several factors which contribute to the displacement of the uterus. These include
continuous distension of the intestines with gas or excess food materials, leading to constant
downward pressure on the womb, chronic constipation leading to pressure from behind from an
over-filled colon, tight clothing especially tight corsets, constant stooping, and a weakened
condition of the internal muscles of the abdomen , through lack of exercise and bodily weakness.
Some of the other important factors responsible for prolapse of the uterus are prolonged labour,
an interference in the delivery by inexpert people, lack of proper rest and diet in post-natal
periods, repeated deliveries and manual work. An increased weight of the womb, tumours of the
uterus, traction of the uterus and surgical injuries can also lead to this disorder. Menopausal
atrophy may also precipitate it.
Prevention
It is easier to prevent prolapse of uterus than cure it after its occurrence. The measures to
prevent it should include good antenatal care in pregnancy, proper management and timely
intervention during delivery, good postnatal care with proper rest, correct diet and appropriate
exercise so as to strengthen the pelvic musculature.
Treatment
Treatment of displaced womb must consist mainly of a suitable diet and exercise. The diet
should be so planned as should aim at building up the internal musculature of the body. Of
course, any tendency towards tight lacing, constant stooping, and heavy lifting must be carefully
guarded against, once a natural regime is undertaken, as these will automatically tend to hold up
the success of the treatment.
To begin with the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for about five days. During this period she
should take three meals consisting of juicy fruits such as orange, apple, pineapple, grapes at five
hourly intervals. The bowel should be cleansed daily with a warm water enema.
After the all-fruit diet , the patient should gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet, based on
three basic food groups, namely, (i) seeds, nuts and grains (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits. The
all-fruit diet should be repeated for three days at monthly intervals till the condition improves.
Carrots have proved useful in the treatment of prolapse of the uterus. For prolpase of the uterus,
pulped carrots should be placed in a muslin bag and inserted in a vagina. This should be kept for
some time using fresh carrots every 12 hours. This will heal and strengthen the parts and help
Prolapse of the Uterus
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap91.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:34:49 PM]
greatly in preventing any further disorders in the female reproductive system.
A hot Epsom salts bath is also beneficial in the treatment of prolapse of the uterus and should be
undertaken twice a week. This bath is prepared by dissolving one or one and half kg. of
Epsom-salt in an ordinary bath of hot water. The patient should remain immersed in the bath
from ten to twenty minutes. This bath should be taken just before retiring to bed and care should
be exercised not to get chilled afterwards. No soaps should be used with the bath as it will
interfere with its beneficial effects. The alternate hot and cold hip bath are also useful and should
be undertaken at night on alternate days.
Exercise
Exercises to strengthen the pelvic musculature are extremely useful in the treatment of prolapse
of the uterus. Lying on a couch with the legs raised higher than the rest of the body is very
helpful in relieving pain and discomfort from a displaced womb. This should be done from half an
hour to an hour two or three times daily. The feet should be raised about eighteen inches by
placing cushions under them. When this is not possible the patient can sit on a chair with a feet
on another chair. The more this can be done during the day, the better will it be in every way.
The patient should also perform other exercises aimed at strengthening the abdominal muscles.
These exercises will help greatly in correcting the displacement of the uterus.
Women should always take precautions to space out their children so as to prevent repeated
successive deliveries. This will allow the genital issues to regain their strength and vitality and
thereby prevent prolapse of the uterus.

NATURE CURE
Vaginitis
Vaginitis can be described as an inflammation of the vagina and vulva. It is a fairly common
problem with women. This can be avoided by taking proper treatment in the initial stages itself.
But women usually tend to hide this problem.
Changes in the activity of the vaginal epithelium and in the vaginal secretion at different ages
have a profound influence on the defense against vaginal infection. In the adult, the normal
vaginal moisture or secretion consists of mucous and discarded vaginal cells. This discharge
generally causes no irritation though the amount secreted and consistency vary. The variance is
also due to the periodicity of the menstrual cycle and psychological conditions. Normal healthy
women do not suffer from the sensations of the itching, burning, pain or irritation.
In unhealthy women and in abnormal conditions, the resident organisms (bacteria) multiply
rapidly and produce excessive waste products. It causes tissue irritation in this region leading to
itching, swelling, and burning. There is increase in the frequency or discharge of urine which is
accompanied with an unpleasant order.
Symptoms
The symptoms of vaginitis are feeling of heat and fullness in the vagina, a dragging feeling in the
groin, increased urinary frequency and vaginal discharge, that is, leucorrhoea. The clear or white
secretion becomes purulent and yellow. The severity of leucorrhoea depends upon the degree of
bacterial infection.
Causes
The main causes of vaginitis are irritation of vagina by external factors like cuts, abrasions in this
region, constant wearing of tight-fitting clothes and wearing unclean clothes, using dirty or
infected water and lack of hygiene.
Certain medications and treatments can increase susceptibility to infection. These include the
use of antibiotics, hormones and excessive douching. Susceptibility is greater in cases of
pregnancy, diabetes and certain psychological conditions as well as during the later half of the
menstrual cycle. Irritation from contraceptive devices can also lead to this condition.
Unhygienic conditions combined with wrong dietary habits increase toxemia thereby lowering
body resistance. According to the nature cure philosophy, whenever the body is loaded with
toxins or morbid matter, it tried to eliminate it through the eliminative organs. In women, this
elimination is established in the form of profused discharge, that is leucorrhoea, initially, in later
stages, the discharge can become offensive in cases of chronic inflammation.
Treatment
Maintenance of hygienic conditions is the most important factor in the treatment of vaginitis. It is
only after disease achieved that morbidity and consequent inflammation and discharge can be
prevented.
Another important factor is diet. The patient should be made to fast for three or five days.
Depending Ponte condition, the fasting period may be extended. During this period, she may
take juices of lemon and other sub-acidic fruits. This will give the system an opportunity to divert
its vital energies to check inflammation and infection.
After the juice fasting, the patient may adopt restricted diet, consisting of raw vegetable salads,
fruits and sprouts. This will ensure minimal mucous secretions. This restricted diet should be
continued for 10 to 15 days. It will help reduce inflammatory conditions. Boiled vegetables which
are easily digestible and wheat chappatis may be added gradually to this diet. Later, rice,dal,
vegetable soup or butter milk may be taken for lunch and an uncooked diet for dinner.
The patient should avoid coffee, tea and other stimulants as well as sugar, fried and refined
foods.
Vaginitis

Hydrotherapy
Treatment through water plays an important role in overcoming vaginitis. The patient should be
given an enema with lukewarm neem water to cleanse the bowels and prevent the constipation
which increases the toxemic condition, inflammation and infection in the genital organs. For
general cleansing and elimination of purulent vaginal discharge, neem water vaginal douche at
35 o C – 40 o C followed by cold douche will be highly beneficial.
In persistent cases, cold vaginal irritation provides relief. This treatment is best administered with
a fountain syringe, containing water. The syringe should be placed two or three feet above the
patient and water injected into the vagina. The patient should lie upon her back , with hips
elevated and water should flow out of the vaginal canal.
A decoction of the herb chebulic myrobalan has proved very useful for vaginal irritation and
inflammation. It should be used as an external douche to wash the vulvar parts. When there is a
thick white discharge, washing the part with decoction made with neem leaves and chebulic
myrobalan fruits will greatly help.
A moderately prolonged cold hip bath accompanied with a hot foot bath is also helpful. The level
of cold water must be 34 inches in height. The patient should sit in the tub in such a manner that
legs remain out of the tub. This bath can be given for 20 to 30 minutes.
Another mode of treatment considered beneficial is the wet girdle pack for about an hour. For
this treatment, a thin cotton underwear and another thick or woolen underwear are required. The
thin underwear should be wrung in cold water and worn by the patient. The thick dry underwear
should be worn above the wet underwear. If the patient feels chill, she should be covered with a
blanket. This treatment helps reduce inflammation.
A cold douche on the perennial region for 10 to 15 minutes twice a day helps reduce vaginitis. A
mud pack on the abdomen for 10 minutes twice daily also helps reduce inflammation.
Chromotherapy can also be used to treat this complaint. Blue light treatment given to the
afflicted region for an hour accompanied with vaginal irrigation using green coloured charged
water helps reduce the infection.
After recovery, it is essential to adopt correct eating habits and hygienic living conditions. Proper
rest and exercise are also important.

Pruritus Vulvae
Pruritus literally means a sensation of itching and vulva is the name given to the entrance to the
vagina. It is a symptoms, not a disease in itself. Atleast 10 per cent of women all over the world
suffer from this complaint.
Pruritus vulvae is generally relieved through scratching in the initial stages. At a later stage, the
patient develops a burning sensation in this region. This can intensify to such an extent that
women suffering from this complaint prefer to remain indoors and refuse to go out. This problem
occurs more during the night. The patient may scratch the area during sleep and wake to find
that she has made herself bleed.
Causes
One of the main causes of pruritus vulvae is purulent and mucopurulent vaginal discharge. Due
to this discharge, the vulva region chafes. The resulting tenderness causes pain. Over 80 per
cent of these cases occur due to this cause. Prorates without vaginal discharge occurs in 15 to
20 per cent of the cases.
In some cases prorates vulvae may develop due to the presence of skin diseases not specific to
the vulva such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and scabies. Other causes include animal and
vegetable parasite infections which tend to cause pruritus public rather than prutitus vulvae,
conditions of the urinary track like continence of urine and pyuria. Highly acidic urine sometime
causes soreness which subsequently leads to pruritus. Glycosuria and diabetes also contribute
to this condition.
Pruritus vulvae can result from skin sensitivity to various kinds of soaps, bath salts, deodorants
and antiseptics which contain particular phenols and cresols and from certain drugs. These
allergies may also be caused by nylons and tight-fitting clothes. In rare cases the disorders may
develop as an offshoot of certain major problems like jaundice, uraemia, and other toxic
conditions.
Many mental disturbances can affect the sexual bias and psychoneurosis results. The skin of the
vulva region can also be a site of psychoneurosis, nervous fatigue and rough clotting Sexual
frustration and guilt feelings can also lead to pruritus vulvae.
Treatments
There is always some underlying cause for the onset of purirtus, but scratching soon damages
the skin and causes secondary changes which may obscure the primary cause. In addition, the
skin may become sensitized to some local application. IN long standing cases, the diagnosis of
both the initial cause and the reason for the maintenance of the irritation may become extremely
difficult, particularly when more than one factor is involved. Successfully treatment depends on
two cardinal principles, namely, to remove any underlying cause and to stop further damage to
the skin by scratching or by unsuitable application.
The most important factor in the treatment of pruritus vulvae caused by infections through
fungus or parasites, is cleanliness. Bowels should be kept clean either through enemas or a
natural diet. The patient must wear clean clothes to avoid this problem. After urination, the
vagina should be thoroughly washed with plain cold water. IN case of severe pruritus, it is
advisable to wash the vulva with neem leaves decoction and apply green light charged coconut
oil.
Treatments like neem water vaginal douches help kill bacteria and fungus. The affect reaction
should be exposed to green coloured light or rays of the sun through green coloured glass for 25
to 30 minutes. This will help reduce infections.
Purritus vulvae resulting from discharges from the uterus, cervix or vagina causes
inflammations. This can be reduced by regular application of mud packs on the lower abdomen,
twice or thrice a day. A cold hip bath may also be taken for 10 minutes. An alternate hot and cold
Pruritus Vulvae
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap93.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:35:21 PM]
hip bath is especially useful in reducing inflammation.
In cases of pruritus resulting from diabetes mellitus, glycosuria, uraemia, jaundice and other
toxic states, specific diets and treatments for these complaints should be followed before pruritus
could be cured.
Skin diseases like psoriasis, scabies, fungal infections should be treated through nature cure
methods. These include steam baths, mud baths, immersion baths, sun baths, spine baths and
chromotherapy.
Diet plays an important role in the treatment of pruritus vulvae. Initially the patient should be put
on a juice fast for a few days. She should drink fruit and vegetable juices, diluted with water on
50 : 50 basis. A warm water enema should be used daily during the period of fasting to cleanse
the bowels.
Fasting helps relieve the toxic conditions not in just the affected region but also the entire body.
Thus inflammation is reduced. The diet after the juice fast could include seasonal fruits, salads,
sprouts, vegetables, soups or buttermilk. Cooked food should be included in the diet only much
later.
The patient should avoid all processed, refined and denatured foods such as white sugar, white
flour and all products made from them as well a s coffee, tea, eggs, meat, spicy and oily foods.
Alcohol and smoking are to be completely eliminated.
A natural mode of life will go a long way in overcoming pruritus vulvae. It will also lead to
improvement in health in general.

Hysteria
Hysteria is a mental and nervous disorder arising from intense anxiety. It is characterised by a
lack of control over acts and emotions and by sudden conclusive seizures and emotional
outbursts. It often results from repressed mental conflict.
This disorder appears in both sexes, but is far more common in young women of the age group
between 14 and 25 years because of their natural sensitivity. In many cases it tends to occur
around the period of adolescence and becomes less frequent after the age of 25. It is
uncommon after the age of forty-five years.
Hysteria is an ancient disorder. The term is derived from the Greek word hystron ,meaning
uterus. The diagnosis dates back to ancient Greek medicine, according to which a variety of
symptoms was attributed to a wandering of the womb through the body. The recorded history of
the diagnosis begin in ancient Egypt with the Kahnus Papyrus dating from about 1900 BC, which
enumerates a series of morbid states attributable to displacement of the uterus. In the Middle
Ages hysteria was associated with ideas of demoniacal possession, witchcraft and religious
fanaticism. Later it came to be solely related to the female sex.
Osler, an eminent psychiatrist defines hystria as ” a disorder chiefly of young women, in which
emotional states control the body, leading to perversion of mental, sensory, motor and secretory
functions. „
Symptoms
A wide range of symptoms are regarded as hysterical The onset of hysterical attacks may be
sudden, provoked especially by strong feelings or may be heralded over a period of several
hours by prodromal features. The main symptoms include inappropriate elation or sadness,
crying without cause, almost conclusive laughter, deep sighing, cramps in the limbs, mild
rumblings in the belly and sense of constriction in the throat.
The symptoms of hysteria are of two degrees. In the first degree, the patient may feel heaviness
in the limbs, more severe cramps, strong feeling of ascending abdominal constriction, continual
sightings, difficulty in breathing, construction in the chest, palpitations, feeling of a foreign body
lodged in the throat, swelling of the neck and of the jugular veins, suffocation, headache,
clenched teeth, generalized and voluntary tensing of muscles of locomotion. The patient remains
conscious during paroxysms. The convulsions are usually milder and occur more often during
the bending and extending of limbs.
In the second degree, additional symptoms, besides the preceding ones, are noticeable and
these may include wild and painful cries, incomplete loss of consciousness, enormously swollen
neck, violent and tumultuous heart-beats, involuntary locomotor muscle contraction, frightening
generalised convulsions, violent movement and frequent spitting. Sometimes the patient jumps
about on his / her bed and at other times adopt almost tetanic postures. The attack may last
several hours. There may be prompt return of consciousness immediately after the convulsions.
The psychical symptoms include a weakness of the will, a craving for love and sympathy and a
tendency to emotional instability. Hysterical people tend to react too readily to suggestion and
through this suggestibility they are swayed greatly by their surroundings. The morbid
exaggerated moods led to impulsive conduct which may often seem irrational. Such people are
liable to be much misunderstood and misjudged. At times there may be much
absent-mindedness, and loss of memory about events or for definite periods. If this mental
dissociation is severe, one may develop hysterical wandering attacks, a state of double
consciousness or dual personality.
Hysterical trances may last for days or weeks. Here the patient seems to be in a deep sleep, but
the muscles are not usually relaxed. In the most severe instance of this, the heart action and
breathing may be scarcely apparent that death may be suspected and the person buried alive.
Somnambulism or sleep-walking and catalepsy, where limbs remain in any position in which
Hysteria

they are placed, are other hysterical states.
Causes
The most common causes of hysteria are sexual excess, or sexual repression, perverted habits
of thought and idleness. Heredity plays an important part in its causation. A nervous family, taint
and faulty emotional training, when young, are predisposing causes. The emotional shocks may
have been caused by mental or physical factors such as mental strain, stress, fear, worry,
depression, traumatism, masturbation and prolonged sickness.
Hysteria is an extremely mental phenomenon which may take varying forms. In certain types the
disorder may result from some situation to which ne is unable to adapt oneself such as marriage,
engagement, position of responsibility, the death of relations or loss of love. Factors involving
the sexual life in some way are frequently present.
A number of studies have indicated a possible connection between hysterical symptoms and
organic brain disease. A patient with epilepsy has often been found to get hysterical attacks.
Drug intoxication is another organic brain disease closely associated with hysteria.
Treatment
Hysteria is curable in nearly all cases. Since the causes of hysteria are both physical and
mental, treatment should be directed toward both the body and the mind. Regard for one’s
physical welfare is of primary importance. A healthy, well-functioning body is best able to keep
the reasoning mind in control of the total organism.
The measures on the physical side should include a well- ordered hygienic mode of living, a
nutritious and bland diet, adequate mental and physical rest, daily exercise , agreeable,
occupation, fresh air, regular hours of eating and sleeping, regulation of the bowels and
wholesome companionship with others.
On the mental plane, the patient should be taught self-control and educated in positive thinking.
Her mind must be , by some means drawn away from herself. Proper sex education should be
given immediately, especially as regards sublimation of sexual desire or normal sexual
indulgence for the married patient.
In most cases of hysteria, it is desirable for the patient to start treatment by adopting an all-fruit
diet for several days. She should have fresh juicy fruits such as orange, apple, grapes,
grapefruit, papaya and pineapple during this period. The all-fruit diet should be followed by an
exclusive milk diet for about a month.
Most hysteria patients are considerably run down and the milk diet will help build better blood
and nourish the nerves. If the full milk diet is not convenient, a diet of milk and fruits may be
adopted. The patient, may, therefore, gradually embark upon a well balanced diet of seeds, nuts
and grains. Vegetables and fruits. The patient should avoid alcohol, tea, coffee, tobacco, white
sugar and white flour and products made from them.
Jambul fruit, known as jamun in the vernacular, is considered an effective home remedy for
hysteria. Three kgs. of this fruits and a handful of salt should be put in a jug filled with water. The
jug should be kept in the sun for a week. Women suffering from hysteria should take 300 grams
of this fruit on an empty stomach and also drink a cup of water from the jug. The day she starts
this treatment, three kgs. more of these fruits together with a handful of salt should be put in
another jug filled with water, so that when the contents of the first jug are finished, contents of
the other may be ready for use. This treatment should be continued for two weeks.
Honey is regarded as another effective remedy for hysteria. Two of the main causes of hysteria
are irregularity of the menstrual cycle and insanity. Honey is invaluable for both these conditions.
It causes good bleeding during the cycle, cleans the uterus, tones up the brain and the uterine
musculature and keeps the body temperature at a normal level. It is advisable to use honey
regularly and increase the quantity after the first start. It will bring down body temperature thus
preventing further fits.
Exercise and outdoor games are important in the prevention and cure of hysteria . They take the
mind away from one’s self and induce cheerfulness. Yogasanas which are useful in hysteria are
bhujangasana, shalbhasana, matsyasana, sarvangasana, dhanurasana, halasana,
paschimotanasana, yogamudra and shavasana. Weak patients, who are not able to take much
active exercise , may be given massage three or four times a week.
Other measures useful in the treatment of hysteria are air and sun baths. They are calming and
Hysteria
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap94.htm (2 of 3) [5/19/1999 9:35:29 PM]
at the same time invigorating to the nerves. Daily cool baths are also an excellent tonic. Suitable
physical activity must be balanced with adequate rest and sleep.
In case of hysterical fit, the clothing of the patient should be loosened and her head lowered by
laying her out flat at once.
She should not be allowed to assume an erect position for sometimes after the fit. She should be
slapped gently in the face and mustard plasers applied to the soles of the feet and the wrists. In
ordinary cases no further treatment is necessary and the symptoms will soon pass off or cease if
the patient is left alone.
In a genuine hysterical attack, the most effective means of interrupting the paroxym is the
applicatin of cold water in some form to the head and spine. Either the cold water may be poured
or cold pack or ice pack may be applied to the hand and back of the neck. If this cannot be done,
cold water may be splashed on the face. The patient should be provided with plenty of fresh air
and some of her clothing should be removed to facilitate easy breathing and to expose the skin
to fresh air.
In a violent seizure of hysteria, pressure on the ovaries often checks the attack. The patient
should be made to lie on the back and the first forcibly pressed into the iliac region. As soon as
possible, a neutral immersion bath at 98 o to 100 o F. may be given and continued until the
excited condition subsides. If this is not convenient, a hot foot bath , with cold applications to the
head, may be used instead. Following an attack the patient should have rest, quietness,
darkness and if possible, sleep until the lost energy has been gradually recovered.

NATURE CURE
Goiter
Goitre is a disease of the thyroid gland. It generally refers to a swelling of the thyroid gland in the
neck. The disease can, however, also occur without any swelling of the neck. The thyroid gland
is best known for its ductless glands. Through its secretions, it regulates the day to day activities,
maintains homeostatis through periods of stress and strain and provides a fine balance to the
regulatory systems of the body. No part of the body seems to escape its influence.
Women are more prone to this serious disease. It is more common in women who are over
worked and who do not get sufficient rest and relaxation. The periods in a woman’s life when
she is more likely to be affected by goitre are at puberty, during pregnancy, at menopause or
when there is extra physical strain on the body.
Symptoms
It is difficult to recognise the first symptoms of goitre because they are of a very short duration.
They usually appear as emotional upsets and can pass almost unnoticed. These spells of
emotional upsets gradually increase in duration, when other symptoms also appear. These
include loss of power of concentration, depression and weeping. The patient appears to be very
easily irritated. The approach of a nervous breakdown is often suspended.
The thyroid gland may swell but this has no relation to the severity of the ailment because many
serious cases have practically no visible swelling. There is always a rapid though regular heart
beat and any undue excitement increases this to a quick pulsation which may even be conveyed
to the thyroid gland. There is, in most cases, a tremor of the hands and a feeling of extreme
tiredness, together with a lack of power to make any real muscular effort. The eyes may incline
to protrude although this does not appear in all patients.
A most alarming symptoms of goitre is the loss of weight which no treatment seems to check,
and this can persist till the patient feels extremely weak. All the symptoms appear very gradually
and that is why so many women do not complain until the trouble has reached serious
proportions.
Whenever goitre occurs, it must not be assumed that it is sudden flaring up because disease is
not an abrupt derangement of a healthy system nor a sign that there has been a gradual loss of
health. In practically every instance a bowel is clogged and there has been a slow poisoning of
the entire system over a period of years.
Causes
Deficiency of iodine in the diet is the most common cause of goitre. The thyroid gland makes use
of organic iodine in its secretion and a diet deficient in organic iodine is a predisposing factor
towards the appearance of this disease incertain cases, especially if other physical and
emotional disturbances are present.
People living near the sea rarely contract goitre, because all sea foods are rich in organic iodine.
It should, however, be concluded from this that fish and other sea foods are essential to the diet
to avoid goitre, or that people who eat plenty of fish are necessarily immune from this disease.
IN fact, organic iodine is present in practically all foods which come from the earth as well as
from the sea. Goitre gradually affects those who habitually live on denatured, that is cooked and
refined foods, and not those who eat much of their food in the raw or uncooked state.
Treatment
The only real treatment for goitre is cleaning of the system and adopting of a rational dietary
thereafter, combined with adequate rest and relaxation. To begin with, juices of fruits such as
orange, apple, pineapple and grapes may be taken every two or three hours from 8 a.m. to 8
p.m. for five days. The bowels should be cleansed daily with lukewarm water.
After the juice fast, the patient may spend a further three days on fruits and milk, taking three
Goiter
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap95.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:35:50 PM]
meals a day of juicy fruits, such as apple, pineapple, grapes, papaya , with a glass of milk, at five
hourly intervals. Thereafter, a balanced diet on the following line may be adopted.
Breakfast : Fresh acid foods such as apples, grapefruit, oranges, pears, grapes, a glass of
whole milk and a handful of raw nuts.
Mid-morning : A glass of fruit or vegetable juice to which a table- spoon of yeast has been
added.
Lunch : Steamed vegetables, whole wheat chappatis and a glass of buttermilk.
Mid-afternoon : A glass of milk or fruit juice.
Dinner : Vegetable soup, a large bowl of salad of raw vegetables in season such as lettuce,
tomato, cabbage, carrot, turnips and celery, sprouts such as alfalfa seeds and mung beans and
home made cottage cheese or nuts.
Before retiring : Milk or fruit juice.
The patient should take plenty of rest and spend a day in bed every week for the first two
months of the treatment. More and more exercise should be taken after the symptoms subside.
The appetite of the thyroid patient is usually very large and the weight reduction cannot be
prevented for some time. This is because until the heart beat slows down and the tremors stop,
there will be incomplete assimilation of the food. But as soon as the balance is restored, weight
will slowly increase. To held the absorption of food, a narrow waist compress and, later , a neck
compress should be worn for five nights a week.
As weight increases, the almost constant hunger will gradually disappear ; on no account should
any stimulants be administered to create an appetite.
Certain foods and fluids are extremely injurious to the goitre patients and this should be avoided
by them. These include white flour products, white sugar, flesh foods, fried or greasy foods,
preserves, condiments, tea, coffee and alcohol. No drugs should be taken as they cause
irritation in the tissues. Iodine is undoubtedly most helpful in many cases. But it should be
introduced in organic form. All foods containing iodine should be taken liberally. These are
asparagus, cabbage, carrots, garlic, onion, oats, pineapple, whole rice, tomatoes, watercress,
and strawberries.
Great care must be taken never to allow the body to become exhausted and any irritation likely
to cause emotional upset should be avoided. The cure of goitre is not a speed one and there is
often a recurrence of symptoms but these should gradually become less pronounced. Strict
adherence to a suitable diet is essential for complete cure.
Half the daily intake of food should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables and the starch elements
should be confined to whole wheat products and potatoes. Potatoes are the most valuable form
of starch. They should preferably be taken in their jackets. The protein foods should be confined
to eggs, cheese, peas, beans , lentils and nuts. Milk and all flesh proteins must be avoided. The
diet outlines here should be strictly adhered to for a year, and the compresses on the neck and
the waist applied for five consecutive nights in a week for two months and discontinued for one
month.
Water treatments should be taken to increase skin elimination. Application of a sponge to the
entire body before retiring and a cold sponge on rising will be very helpful. It is most important
that the bowels are kept working efficiently to avoid danger of a toxic condition of the blood
arising from that source.
All efforts should be made to prevent emotional stress. There may be a light recurrence of this
extremely nervous complaint for some time, but the attacks will become less severe and of
shorter duration as the treatment progresses. And above all, there must be no lessening of the
woman’s efforts to help herself because success can only be attained by assiduous effort.

NATURE CURE
Cholera
Cholera is one of the most severe diseases of the intestines. It is a serious affliction, involving
the lower part of the small bowel. It is a waterborne disease and is common during the
monsoons. The mortality rate for this disease has been quite high.
The disease strikes suddenly and fills the intestinal canal with bacilli which die rapidly and leave
the person quickly , alive or dead. It comes as a fell epidemic and creates havoc but subsides
quickly in the locality. Those who are susceptible to it are carried away and those who are left
alive are immuned to it. Thus after an epidemic in a non-epidemic area, there is no re-visitation
in the locality for two or three years.
The original home of cholera is Bengal in India. It spread from this country during the 19th
century in a series of epidemics along the trade routes. It reached Japan and also Astrakhan, in
Russian, in 1817. The disease spread to Moscow in 1826, Berlin in 1831 and London and Paris
in 1832. Subsequently, it spread to Canada and several countries in Europe. However, by 1895,
cholera had disappeared from Europe.
Symptoms
Cholera appears in three stages. In the first stage, the patient suffers from mild diarrhoea and
vomiting, which worsens rapidly. The motions become watery, containing no feacal matter. The
patient feels severe cramps in the muscles of the abdomen and limbs, resulting from lack of
salts. The temperature rises but the skin is generally cold and blue and the pulse is weak.
Taking water to quench thirst dilutes the body salt still further, and makes the cramps worse.
In the second stage of collapse, the body becomes colder, the skin dry, wrinkled and purple.
Voice becomes weak and husky while the urine looks dark and formation is less, or altogether
absent. It is in this ‘algid’ stage that the patient may die, as early as 24 hours after the onset of
the symptoms.
In the third stage,recovery follows in favourable cases. All the changes seem to reverse
themselves, the fluid loss decreases and there is improvment in the general condition. Even at
this stage, a relapse may occur or the patient may sink into a condition resembling typhoid fever.
The condition may deteriorate over a period of two or three weeks. During this stage of reaction,
the temperature may rise and the patient may be in danger from penumonia.
Causes
Cholera is caused by a short, curved, rod-shaped germ known as vibrio cholera. This germ
produces a powerful poison or endotoxin. It is spread by flies and water contaminated by the
germs. The real cause of disease , however, is the toxic and devitalized condition of the system
brought about by incorrect feeding habits and faulty style of living. This condition facilitates
invasion of cholera germs.
Treatment
The treatment should in the beginning aim at combating the loss of fluids and salts from the
body. To allay thirst, water, soda water or green coconut water should be given for sipping
although this may be thrown out by vomiting. Therefore, only small quantities of water should be
given repeatedly, as these may remain for sometime within the stomach and stay of every one
minutes means some absorption. Ice may be given for sucking. This will reduce internal
temperature and restrict the tendency to vomit. Intravenous infusions ofsaline solution should be
given to compensate for the loss of fluids and salts from the body. The patient may require five
litres or more a day. Care should, however, be taken to avoid waterlogging the patient.
Potassium may be added to the infused fluid. Rectal saline may sometimes prove useful for
adults. Normally, half a litre of saline , with 30 grams of glucose, should be given per rectum
every four hours until urine is passed freely.
Cholera
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap96.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:36:09 PM]
After the acute stage of cholera is over, the patient may be given green coconut water and
barley water in very thin form. When the stools begin to form, he should be given butter-milk. As
he progresses towards recovery, rice softened to semi-solid form mixed with curd, may be given.
The patient should not be given solid food till he has fully recovered. Liquid and bland foods,
which the patient can ingest without endangering a reoccurrence of the malady, are best.
Lemon, onion, green chillies, vinegar and mint should be included in the daily diet during an
epidemic of cholera.
Home Remedies
Certain home remedies have been found beneficial in the treatment ofcholera. The foremost
among these is the use of lemon ( bara nimbu). The juice ofthis fruit can kill cholera bacilli within
a short time. It is also a very effective and reliable preventive food item against cholera during
the epidemic. It can be taken in the form of sweetened or salted beverages for this purpose.
Taking of lemon with food as daily routine can also prevent cholera.
The root bark of guava (amrud) is another valuable remedy. It is rich in tannis and can be
successfully employed in the form of concentrated decoction in cholera. It will arrest vomiting
and symptoms of diarrhoea.
According to Culpepper, an eminent nutritionist for children and young people, nothing is better
to purge cholera than the leaves and flowers of peach (arhu). They should be taken in the form
of syrup or conserve. The leaves of drumstick (sanjana) tree are also useful in treatment of this
disease. A teaspoon of fresh leaf-juice, mixed with honey and a glass of tender coconut water,
can be given two or three times as a herbal medicine in the treatment of cholera.
Onion is very useful in cholera. About 30 grams of this vegetable and seven black peppers
should be finely pounded in a pestle and given to the patient. It allays thirst and restlessness and
the patient feels better. The fresh juice of bitter gourd (karela) is another effective medicine in
the early stages of cholera.
Two teaspoons of this juice, mixed with an equal quantity of white onion juice and a teaspoon of
lime juice, should be given Cholera can be controlled only by rigid purification of water supplies
and proper disposal of human wastes. In case of the slightest doubt about the contamination of
the water, it must be boiled before use, for drinking and cooking purposes. All foodstuffs must be
kept covered and vegetables and fruits washed with a solution of potassium permanganate
before consumption. Other precautions against this disease include avoiding all uncooked
vegetables, thorough washing of hands by all those who handle food, and elimination of all
contacts with the disease.

NATURE CURE
Dermatitits
Dermatitis refers to an inflammation of the skin, both external and internal. It is characterised by
redness, swelling, heat and pain or itching. Any part of the body may be affected by this disease.
The genital areas and the exposed areas such as the eyelids, forearms, face and neck are more
prone to it.
The cells of the epidermis ( the surface layer of the skin ) are normally protected from damage
by the tightly packed squamae of keratin of the horny layer. The elasticity of keratin varies with
its water content. This water content can be reduced by evaporation or by removal of the lipid
with which it retains moisture. Substances which produce inflammation of the epidermis or
dermatitis by mechanical or chemical disruption of the horny layer are called irritants.
Degreasing agents like soaps, if used too frequently over a short time, will cause dryness,
redness, fissuring and irritation of the skin in almost everyone.
Symptoms
The appearance of dermatitis varies according to its severity and the stage of its evolution. The
first symptom is erythema or redness. This is usually followed by swelling of the skin due to
oedema( excessive fluid retention ). Vesicle may appear thereafter .In case of their rupture, their
bases exude serum. This condition is known as weeping dermatitis. Later, the serum dries up to
form crusts. IN some people the disease seems to come and go without any great change in the
skin itself.
Causes
Chemical substances usually give rise to dermatitis. They may reach the skin from outside or
from inside through the blood-stream. About 100 different plants are known to be capable of
causing dermatitis in susuceptible persons. The onset is usually acute and begins an hour or two
after contact. Dermatitis may be caused by external contact with mineral irritants. This includes
most cases of industrial dermatitis which arise on the hands or forearms which actually come in
contact with the irritant.
Certain drugs applied externally such as atropine, belladona, carbolic acid, iodine, mercury,
penicillin, sulphonamides, sulphurs, tars and turpentine sometimes cause dermatitis. Other
substances causing this disease include hair dyes, bleaches, skin tonics, nail polish, perfume,
wool , silk, nylon, floor-wax and various detergents. Other causes of this disease are indiscretion
in diet, deficiency of vitamin A and pantothenic acid , and nervous and emotional stress.
Treatment
As dermatitis may appear due to varied causes, treatment also varies accordingly. If, however,
the trouble is constitutional arising from internal causes, the patient should commence the
treatment by adopting an all-fruit diet for at least a week. In this regimen, he should take three
meals a day of juicy fruits such as orange, grapes, apple, pineapple and papaya at five hourly
intervals.
After an exclusive fruit diet, patient may adopt a restricted diet for ten days. In this regimen,
breakfast may consist of orange juice or grapefruit. Raw salad, consisting of vegetables
available in season, with raisins, figs or dates may be taken for lunch and dinner may consist of
steamed vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, carrots, turnips, cauliflower, along with a few
nuts or fresh fruit. Mild puddings and desserts such as jellies, jams and pastries, all condiments,
spices, white sugar, and white flour and products made from them, tea, coffee and other
stimulating drinks should all be avoided.
After the restricted diet, the patient should gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet,
consisting of seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits. The emphasis should be on fresh
fruits and raw vegetables. IN case of a severe condition, the patient should undertake a fast on
Dermatitits
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap97.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:36:19 PM]
fruit or vegetable juices for three to five days. This may be followed by a restricted diet for ten to
fifteen days. Further fasts and a period on restricted diet at intervals may be adopted after the
resumption of a normal diet.
The warm water enema should be used daily to cleanse the bowels during the first week of
treatment and thereafter as necessary. Epsom-salts baths may be taken two or three times a
week. The affected areas may also be bathed twice daily in hot water with Epsom salts. About
100 grams of Epsom salts should be added to a bowlful of hot water for this purpose. A little
olive oil should be applied after Epsom-salt bathing.
The patient should avoid white sugar, refined carbohydrates, tea, coffee, and other denatured
foods. He should make liberal use of fruits and vegetable juices. The combined juice from apple,
carrot and celery is especially beneficial in the treatment of dermatitis. About 175 ml. each of
these juices should be mixed to prepare 525 ml. of combined juice.
No medicines of any kind should be used. In case of trouble due to external causes, the most
effective treatment consists of applying a mixture of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda ) and olive
oil. The alkaline sodium neutralises the poisonous acids formed in the sores and oil keeps the
flesh in a softened condition.
The patient should undertake moderate physical exercise, preferably simple yoga asanas after
the fast is completed and the start of the restricted diet. Exercise is one of the most valuable
means for purifying the blood and for preventing toxaemia. The patient should also have
adequate physical and mental rest and fresh air. He should avoid exposure to cold, and adopt
regular hours of eating sleeping.

NATURE CURE
Hiatus Hernia
Hitaus Hernia can be defined as displacement of a portion of the stomach through the opening in
the diaphragm through which the oesophagus passes from the chest to the abdominal cavity. IN
this disease, a part of the upper wall of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm at the
point where the gullet passes from the chest area to the abdominal area.
The diaphragm is a large dome-shaped muscle dividing the chest from the abdominal cavity. It is
the muscle concerned with breathing, and it is assisted by the muscles between the ribs during
exertion. It has special openings in it to allow for the passage of important blood vessels and for
the food channel, the oesophagus. Hiatus hernia occurs at the oesophageal opening.
The disease is common after middle age. It is estimated that about half the people above 60
years of age suffer from it, although most of them may not have any symptoms. The correct
diagnosis of haitus hernia can be arrived at by means of berium meal x-ray test.
Symptoms
Hiatus hernia is characterised by pain in certain areas. The most common areas are behind the
breast bone at the nipple level and lower, at the end of the breast one. Pain may also occur on
the left chest and this is often mistaken for angina.
Other areas of pain are the base of the throat, right lower ribs and behind the right shoulder
blade. The pain increases when the patients stoops with efforts and lies down. Other symptoms
of this disease are heart-burn, especially after a meal, a feeling of fullness and bloatedness,
flatulence and discomfort on swallowing.
Causes
The chief cause of the mechanical defect associated with hiatus hernia is faulty diet. The
consumption of white flour, refined sugar and products made from them, such as cakes,
pastries, biscuits and white bread as well as preservatives, and flavourings devitalise the system
and weaken the muscle tone. As a consequence, the muscles become less resilent, and
connective and fibrous tissue suffers through poor nourishment, and thus become more prone to
decomposition and damage. This ultimately leads to disease like hiatus hernia.
Drinks like tea, coffee, alcohol, also affect the mucous lining of the stomach and irritate the
digestive tract. These drinks, when taken with meals, encourage fermentation and produce gas.
This increases the distension of the stomach, causing pressure against the diaphragm and the
oesophageal opening and greatly increasing the risk of hemiation. Other causes of hiatus hernia
include sedentary occupations, without sensible exercise, overweight resulting from overeating,
smoking, shallow breathing and mental and emotional tensions.
Treatment
IN the beginning of the treatment, it would be advisable to raise the head end of the bed by
placing bricks below the legs of the bed. This will prevent the regurgitation of food during the
night. More pillow can also be used for the same purpose.
The next important step towards treating hiatus hernia is relaxation. An important measure in
this direction is diaphragmatic breathing. The procedure is as follows : lie down with both knees
bent and feet close to buttocks. Feel relaxed. Put both the hands lightly on the abdomen and
concentrate the attention of this area. Now breathe in, gently pushing the abdominal up under
the hands at the same time, until no more air can be inhaled. Then relax, breathing out through
the mouth with an audible sighing sound and allow the abdominal wall to sink back. The
shoulders and chest should, remain at rest throughout.
It is important to be able to relax at any time and thereby prevent building up of physical and
mental tensions which may cause actual physical symptoms. The best method for this is practice
shavasana, or ‘dead body ‘ pose. The procedure for this Asian has been explained in chapter 7
Hiatus Hernia
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap98.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:36:31 PM]
on yoga therapy.
The patient of hiatus hernia should observe certain precautions in their eating habits. The
foremost amongst these is not to take water with meals, but half an hour before or one hour after
a meal. This helps the digestive process considerably and reduces the incidence of heart burn.
Drinking water with meals increases the overall weight in the stomach, slows down the digestive
process by diluting the digestive process and this increases the risk of fermentation and gas
formation, which distends the stomach and causes discomfort and pain. Another important factor
in the treatment of this disease is to take frequent small meals instead of three large ones.
Thorough mastication of foods is also essential, both to break up the food into small particles
and to slow down the rate of intake.
The diet of the patient should consist of seeds, nuts and whole cereal grains, vegetables and
fruits, with emphasis on fresh fruits, raw or lightly cooked vegetables and sprouted seeds. The
foods which should be avoided are over-processed foods like white bread and sugar, cakes and
biscuits, rice puddings and over cooked vegetables. At least 50 per cent of the diet should
consist of fruits and vegetables, and the remaining 50 per cent of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
Raw juices extracted from fresh fruits and vegetables are valuable in haitus hernia, and the
patient should take these juices half an hour before each meal. Carrot juice is specially
beneficial as it has a very restorative effect, and is rich in vitamin A and calcium. It is an alkaline
food which soothes the stomach. All juices should be diluted with water on a 50: 50 basis as
they are concentrated.
The hot drinks should always be allowed to cool a little before taking. Extremes in temperature,
in both food and drink should be avoided, drinks should not be taken hurriedly, but sipped
slowly. The patient should avoid condiments, pickles, strong tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages
and smoking.

Worms and other intestinal parasites which infest human beings are found in all countries of the
world. However, they are more common in tropical and subtropical areas and are widely
prevalent during the rainy seasons.
Children are more infested with these worms than adults. There are several types of intestinal
worms. The most common of these are roundworms, pinworms, threadworms, hookworms,
tapeworms and giardia.
Symptoms
The usual symptoms of intestinal worms are diarrhoea, foul breath, dark circles under the eyes,
constant desire for food, restlessness at night with bad dreams, anaemia and headache.
Roundworms may give rise to inflammation of the intestine and lungs, nausea, vomiting, loss of
weight, fever, nervousness and irritability. Pinworms and thread worms may bring on intense
itching in the area around the rectum.
Threadworms may cause periodic bouts of diarrhoea alternating with constipation, loss of
weight, cough and fever. Hookworms may give rise to anaemia and nutritional disorders. The
presence of giardia may result in pain in the calves and weakness in the legs.
Causes
The eggs of these parasites are introduced into the human system through the medium of food
or water, especially undercooked meat. Roundworms may result from dirty fingers and food.
Hookworms enter the human body through the skin from infected water. The tapeworms are
transmitted into the body through undercooked flesh foods or foods contaminated by dogs.
The real cause of intestinal worms, however, is wrong feeding. The eggs of these worms, taken
into the human body through food and water can breed in the intestines only if they find there a
suitable medium for their propagation. This medium is an intestinal tract clogged with morbid
matter and systemic refuse due to wrong feeding habits.
Treatment
The treatment for intestinal worms should begin with diet. The patient should be kept on an
exclusive diet of fresh fruits for five to seven days. Thereafter he may adopt a well-balanced light
diet consisting mainly of fruits, vegetables, milk and wholemeal bread. The diet should exclude
fatty foods such as butter, cream, and oil, refined foods and all flesh foods. This dietary should
be continued till the parasites are completely eliminated.
In some cases, depending on the progress being made, the all-fruit diet may have to be
repeated at regular intervals. In obstinate cases the patient should resort to short fasts on raw
fruit and vegetable juices. This fast has to be of a fairly long duration in case of tapeworms. It
would be advisable to carry on this fast treatment under the supervision of a naturopath, or
better still, in a nature cure hospital. During the all-fruit diet or fasting period, the bowels should
be cleansed daily with the warm water enema.
Home Remedies
Among the numerous home remedies found beneficial in the treatment of intestinal worms, the
use of coconut is most effective. It is an ancient remedy for expelling all kinds of intestinal
worms. A tablespoon of the freshly ground coconut should be taken at breakfast followed by a
dose of castor oil after three hours. The process may be repeated till the cure is complete.
Garlic has been used for expelling intestinal worms from ancient times by the Chinese, Greeks,
Romans, Hindus and Babylonians. It is also used by modern biological practitioners for this
purpose. Both fresh garlic and its oil are effective. An ancient method of its medication was to
place a couple of cloves of fresh garlic in its shoe. As the person walks, it is crushed and the
worm-killing garlic oil is absorbed by the skin and carried by blood into the intestines as it
Intestinal Worms

possesses the powerful penetrative force. This method is worth a trial by those who do not like
the taste of garlic and cannot eat it.
The carrot ( gajar) is valuable in the elimination of threadworms from children as it is offensive to
all parasites. A small cup of grated carrot taken every morning, with no other food added to the
meal, can clear these worms quickly.
The digestive enzyme papain in the milk juice of the unripe papaya (papita) is a powerful
anthelmintic for destroying roundworms. A tablespoon of fresh juice and equal quantity of honey
should be mixed with three to four tablespoons of hot water and taken as a dose by an adult.
This should be followed two hours later by a dose of 30 to 60 ml. of castor oil mixed in 250 – 375
ml. of lukewarm milk. This treatment should be repeated for two days, if necessary. For children
of 7 to 10 years, half the above doses should be given. For children under three years, a
tablespoon is sufficient.
Papaya seeds are also useful for this purpose. They are rich in a substance called caricin which
is a very effective medicine for expelling roundworms. The alkaloid Carpaine found in the leaves
has also the power to destroy or expel intestinal worms. They are given with honey.
The bark, both of the root and the stems of pomegranate (anar) tree, is well known for its
anthelmintic properties of destroying parasitic worms. The root-bark is , however, preferred as it
contains greater quantity of the alkaloid punicine than the stem-bark. This alkaloid is highly toxic
to tapeworms. Ninety to 180 ml. of the cold decoction of bark, preferably fresh bark, should be
given three times at intervals of one hour to an adult. A purgative should be given after the last
dose. The dose for children is 30 to 60 ml. The decoction is used for expelling tapeworms.
The seeds of the ripe pumpkin ( kumra) are useful in intestinal worms, especially tapeworms. An
infusion, prepared from the seeds after they are peeled and crushed, will kill parasites and help
in expelling the tapeworm. It will be necessary to fast for a day and empty the intestines by
taking the juice of boiled dry prunes. The next day, three or four tumblers of this pumpkin seed
infusion should be taken.

NATURE CURE
Malaria
Malaria is a serious infectious disease. It is one of the intermittent fevers which have a tendency
to return again and again to haunt the sufferer. The word malaria comes from the Italian malaria,
meaning bad air as it was once supposed to be caused by bad air. It is one of the most wide
spread diseases in the world, especially in tropical and subtropical regions.
Symptoms
There are three main types of malaria, depending upon the parasite which causes it. These are
vivax, falciparum and malaria, commonly called tertian fever, quarter fever and the malignant
tertian malaria. The most common symptom of all types of malaria is high fever, which may
come every day, on alternate days or every fourth day. The fever is accompanied by chill,
headache, shivering and pain in the limbs. The temperature comes down after some time with
profuse sweating. One of the main effects of malaria is anemia. Other complications of the
disease are kidney failure and dysentery.
Causes
Malaria is caused by a tiny parasite called plasmodium. The parasites grow in the liver of a
person for a few days and then enter the bloodstream where they invade the red blood cells.
The disease is spread from a sick person to a healthy one by the female anopheles mosquito.
She draws a small quantity of blood containing the parasites, when she bites a person who has
malaria. These parasites then pass through several stages of development within the mosquito’s
body and finally find their way to its salivary glands. There they lie in wait for an opportunity to
enter the bloodstream of the next person. The real cause of malaria, however, as in case of
other infectious diseases, is wrong feeding habits and faulty style of living, resulting in the
system being clogged with accumulated systemic refuse and morbid matter. It is on this soil that
the malaria germs breed. The liberal use of denatured foods of today such as white sugar, white
flour and products made from them, as well as tinned foods, strong tea, coffee and alcoholic
beverages, lower the vitality of the system and paves the way for the development of malaria.
Treatment
Diet is of utmost importance in the treatment of malaria. To begin with, the patient should fast on
orange juice and water for seven to fifteen days depending on the severity of the fever. The
warm water enema should be administered daily during this period to cleanse the bowels. After
the fever has subsided, the patient should be placed on an exclusive fresh fruit diet for further
three days. In this regimen, he should take three meals a day, at five-hourly intervals, of fresh,
juicy fruits, like oranges, grapes, grapefruit, apple, pineapple, mango and papaya. Milk may be
added to the fruit-diet after this period and this diet may be continued for a further few days.
Thereafter, the patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet of natural foods
consisting of seeds, nuts and grains. Vegetables and fruits , with emphasis on fresh fruits and
raw vegetables.
The patient should avoid strong tea, coffee, refined and processed foods, fried foods,
condiments, sauces, pickles, white sugar, white flour, and all products made from them. He
should also avoid all meats, alcoholic drinks and smoking.
The best way to reduce temperature naturally, during the course of fever, is by means of the
cold pack, which can be applied to the whole body. This pack is made by wringing out a sheet or
other large square piece of linen material in cold water, wrapping it right round the body and legs
of the patient ( twice round would be best ) and then covering completely with a small blanket or
similar warm material. This pack should be applied every three hours during the day while
temperature is high and kept on for an hour or so . Hot-water bottles may be applied to the feet
and also against the sides of the body.
Malaria

Home Remedies
Certain home remedies have been found beneficial in the treatment of malaria. One such
remedy is the use of grapefruit (chakotra). This substance can be extracted from the fruits by
boiling a quarter of the grapefruit and straining its pulp.
Lime and lemon are beneficial in the treatment of quarter type of malaria fever. About three
grams of lime should be dissolved in about 60 ml. of water and juice of one lemon added to it.
This water should be taken before the onset of the fever.
Cinnamon(dalchini) is regarded as an effective cure for all types of colds, including malaria. It
should be coarsely powdered and boiled in a glass of water with a pinch of pepper powder and
honey. This can be used beneficially as a medicine in malaria.
Alum ( phitkari) is also useful in malaria. It should be roasted over a hot plate and powdered. It
should be taken about four hours before the expected attack and every two hours after it. This
will give relief.
Preventive Measures
The preventive aspect in malaria is as important as the curative one. The best way to protect
against malaria is to adopt all measures necessary for preventing mosquito bites. For this
purpose, it is essential to maintain cleanliness of surroundings, environmental hygiene and to
eradicate stretches of stagnant water. As the mosquito generally perches itself on the walls of
the house, after biting a person, it would be advisable to spray the walls with insecticides.
The leaves of the holy basil (tulsi) are considered beneficial in the prevention of malaria. An
infusion of some leaves can be taken daily for this purpose. The juice of about 11 grams of tulsi
leaves mixed with three grams of black pepper, powder, can be taken beneficially in the cold
stage of the malarial fever. This will check the severity of the disease.

NATURE CURE
Whooping Cough
Whooping cough or pertussis, as it is called in medical parlance, is a contagious disease. Unlike
some other diseases, a new born baby has no immunity to this disease, and can get it any time
after birth. It commonly affects infants during the first year of their life, when it is very severe and
most of the deaths due to it occur during this period. Many cases occur in children upto 5 years
of age. In some cases children upto 12 years may also be affected. The disease may cause
serious trouble in the lungs.
This highly infectious disease is caused by bacteria. It spreads rapidly from one child to another
by droplet-infection. This is especially so during the early catarrhal stage,but once the typical
spasmodic bout starts, the infectivity becomes negligible. This disease has a prolonged course
of 8 to 10 weeks.
Symptoms
The disease has a catarrhal and a spasmodic stage. For the first week, the cough is like an
ordinary upper respiratory catarrh. At the end of a week, it becomes spasmodic and comes in
bouts, initially more often during the night, but later during the day as well. The child goes on
coughing. His face becomes red and suffused, the tongue protrudes and the eyes begin to
water. At the end of the bout, the child takes a deep breath, and there is a prolonged croaking
sound which is called a whoop. This sound is produced by the air entering through a partially
closed glottis ( entrance to the larynx). This gives the disease its name. The child brings out a
sticky secretion from his nose and mouth and very often vomits. At the end of the bout, the child
lies back exhausted. Gradually, over the next three or four weeks, the bouts of cough and their
duration become less and disappear in about 8 to 10 weeks from the beginning of the disease.
In immunized children, the disease is mild and atypical.
Due to the severity of bouts of cough, bleeding can occur into the eyes, from the nose, the lung,
and , in rare cases, into the brain, resulting in convulsions. In many young children, lung
complications such as collapse of a part of the lung are common because of the thick sticky
nature of the secretions blocking the passage of air to a part of the lung. Secondary infection
may result in pneumonia. They may be convulsions, and, in rare cases, inflammation of the
brain.
Causes
Whooping cough is caused by the micro-organisms Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella
parapertussis. Of these, the first one gives the rise to more severe infections. Whooping cough
is also associated with various adinoviruses,para-influenza and respiratory viruses. The actual
cause of the disease, however, is wrong feeding of children with refined and deminralised foods
and absence of a sufficient quantity of fresh fruits and salad vegetables in their dietary. This
results in accumulation of excessive quantities of catarrh and mucus in the child’s system. The
disease is an attempt on the part of the nature to throw out this catarrh and mucus. The use of
drugs to treat other diseases can also lead to whooping cough.
Treatment
In the beginning of the treatment, the child should be placed on a fast, on orange juice and water
for few days. He should be given the juice of an orange diluted with warm water on 50 : 50 basis.
He should not be given milk or anything else. He should be given warm water enema daily
during this period to cleanse the bowels. In case of constipation, a mild laxative, preferably
castor oil, should be administered. This will also relieve the pain in the abdominal muscles which
are usually strained during the paroxysms of coughing. Cold packs should be applied to the
throat and upper chest as required. Epsom-salt baths will be beneficial during this period.
After the more sever symptoms have cleared, the patient should be placed on an exclusive diet
Whooping Cough
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap101.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:37:10 PM]
of fresh fruits for a few days. IN this regimen, we should take fresh juicy fruits such as apple,
orange, pineapple and papaya. After further recovery, he can adopt a regular well-balanced diet,
according to his age. The emphasis should be on fresh fruit, fruit and vegetable juices and milk.
When the convalescent stage has been reached, the child should be encouraged to spend as
much time as possible out of doors.
Home Remedies
Certain home remedies have been found beneficial in the treatment of whooping cough. The
most effective of these remedies is the use of garlic. The syrup of garlic should be given in the
dosage of five drops to a tablespoon two or three times a day for treating this condition. It should
be given more often if the coughing spells are frequent and violent.
Ginger ( adrak) is another effective remedy for whooping cough. A teaspoon of fresh ginger
juice, mixed with a cup of fenugreek ( methi) decoction and honey to taste, is an excellent
diaphoretic. It acts as an expectorant in this disease.
A syrup prepared by mixing a teaspoon of fresh radish (muli) with equal quantity of honey and a
little rock salt, is beneficial in the treatment of this disease. It should be given thrice daily.
Almond (badam) oil is valuable in whooping cough. It should be given missed with 10 drops
each of fresh white onion juice and ginger juice, daily thrice for a fortnight . It will give relief.

NATURE CURE
Halitosis
Halitosis refers to bad breath which is not only a sing of ill- health but it is also a social stigma. It
is common in many people at all times and in all people some of the time. Unfortunately, most
people who offend in this respect are completely unaware of their problem and the discomfort
they cause to others.
Causes
The most common cause of halitosis is bad teeth and gum conditions. Dental decay at the roots
of the teeth may result in abscesses in the gums with foul-smelling, pus giving an objectionable
odour to the breath. Even small holes in the teeth may provide a place where germs can multiply
and release foul orders.
Other causes of halitosis are any conditions of the nerves, throat, respiratory tract, or stomach
which are associated with chronic infection or local upsets of one sort or another, such as
chronic tonsillitis, lung diseases like chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis, chronic gastritis and
sinuses which cause a discharge at the back of the throat. Most cases of bad breath., however,
are caused by gastro-intestinal disorders, intestinal sluggishness and particularly by chronic
constipation. The unpleasant odour results from an exceptionally large amount of waste matter
expelled through the lungs. Chewing pan and tobacco and smoking are other causes of bad
breath. The diseases like anaemia may also lead to unpleasant breath.
Treatment
If halitosis is caused by tooth and gum conditions, tonsillitis, sinusitis, smoking or anaemia ,
these conditions must be treated. Once they are eliminated the bad breath will disappear.
Similarly, bad breath resulting from gastro-intestinal disorders can be successfully treated by
correcting these disorders and cleansing the system of morbid matter.
The patients suffering from halitosis should take a well-balanced diet consisting of seeds, nuts
and grains, vegetables and fruits, with emphasis on raw and cooked vegetables and fruits.
In case of constipation, all measures should be adopted for its eradication. The patient should
avoid reined carbohydrate foods, such as white sugar,white bread and prdoucts made from them
as well as flesh foods and egg. Even whole grain bread should be eaten sparingly.
The patient should also avoid over eating of any kind of foods. He should eat six to eight soaked
prunes and a few dried and soaked figs with breakfast. He must also drink the water in which
these fruits were soaked. He should also take plenty of liquids and drink six to eight glasses of
water daily. This will help eliminate bad breath.
The teeth should be cleaned regularly twice a day especially before going to bed at night. Metal
particles should be removed carefully with toothpicks. In case of decaying teeth and swollen and
bleeding gums, a dentist should be consulted. Munching a raw apple or guava after lunch
removes most of the trapped particles. The use of twigs of the margosa (neem) tree as
toothbrush is the best method of cleaning the teeth.
Home Remedies
Among the several home remedies for halitosis, the use of fenugreek ( methi) has proved most
effective. A tea made from the seeds of the vegetables should be taken regularly for correcting
the condition. This tea is prepared by putting a teaspoon of seeds in half a litre of cold water and
allowing to simmer for 15 minutes over a low flame. It should then be strained and used as tea.
Another effective remedy for bad breath is the use of avocodo (kulu naspati) which is far
superior to any mouth lotion or remedies for this condition. It effectively removes intestinal
putrefaction or decomposition which is one of the most important causes of bad breath.
The unripe guava (amrud) is useful in halitosis. It is rich in tannic, malic, oxalic and phospheric
acids as well as calcium, oxalate and manganese. Chewing it is an excellent tonic for the teeth
Halitosis

and gums. It helps cure bleeding from gums due to stypic effect and stops bad breath. Chewing
tender leaves of guava tree also stops bleeding from gums and bad breath.
Parsley ( prajmoda) is valuable in the treatment of bad breath. Two cups of water should be
boiled and several springs of parsley, coarsely chopped, should be stepped in this water
alongwith two or three whole cloves or a quarter spoon of ground cloves. This mixture should
stirred occasionally while cooling. It should then be strained and used as a mouth wash and
gargled several times a day.
All fruit and vegetable juices are beneficial in the treatment of halitosis and should be taken
liberally by those suffering from this disorder. Juices from fruits like apple, grape-fruit,
(chakatora), lemon and pineapple, and vegetables like tomato, carrot and celery are especially
beneficial.
The person suffering from bad breath should take plenty of exercise as lack of sufficient exercise
is one of the main causes of constipation leading to halitosis.

NATURE CURE
Measles
Measles, a highly infectious disease, is very common in childhood. It is so common at this stage
of life that nearly all children everywhere in the world go through this brief period of red spots.
The disease appears in epidemic form, often in the winter season.
Symptoms
The first symptoms which appear during 7 to 14 days after exposure to the virus are
feverishness, cold, watering of the eyes and dry cough. Rashes appear on the skin in three to
five days after the onset of these symptoms. These rashes, which consist of small rounded spots
with reddened skin in between, initially appear on the sides of the face and the neck and then
gradually spread all over the body, appearing last on the extremities. Initially pink in colour,
these rashes grow darker as time passes.
Measles is usually accompanied with slight fever and diarrhoea. In rare cases of great severity,
high fever and delirium may occur. Complication which can arise from this disease include
pneumonia, bronchitis, and ear abscess. One serious but rare complication is the inflammation
of the brain.
Causes
Measles is one of the most contagious diseases, caused by a virus. The measles virus is so
infectious that in cities, children catch this disease before they reach the age of five years.
Mothers generally pass their antibodies to their children which immunize them passively. This
protection, however, does not last beyond the six months. Measles is easily transmitted in the
early stages through the invisible droplets of moisture which are discharged from a patient’s
nose or mouth when he coughs or sneezes.
The real cause of this disease, like other diseases of childhood, is , however, wrong feed and
unhygienic living conditions. Measles is thus a natural healing crisis aimed at cleansing the
infant organism of the toxins and deleterious and products resulting from the assimilation of the
vast excess of starchy and sugary foods consumed by young children today.
The Cure
In the beginning of the treatment, the patient should be given juices of fresh fruits like orange
and lemon frequently. This is sufficient as the child suffers from lack of appetite during this
period. He should be kept in a well ventilated room. As light has a detrimental effect upon the
eyes during measles, because of the weakened condition of the external eye tissues, the child
should have his eyes shaded or the room should have subdued light.
The treatment should aim at bringing down the temperature and eliminating the toxins from the
system. This can be achieved by administration of warm water enema every morning,
application of mud packs on the abdomen twice a day in the morning and evening and repeated
application of chest packs. Lukewarm water baths can be given every day to ease itching.
Addition of extracts of neem leaves to this water will prove beneficial.
As the condition improves, the child can be placed on an all fruit diet for a further few days.
Thereafter he may be allowed to gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet.
Home Remedies
Certain home remedies have been found beneficial in the treatment of measles. The most
valuable amongst these is the use of orange. When the digestive power of the body is seriously
hampered, the patient suffers from intense toxaemia and the lack of saliva coats his tongue and
often destroys his thrust for water as well as his desire for food. The agreeable flavour of orange
juice helps greatly in overcoming these drawbacks. Orange juice is the most ideal liquid food in
this disease.
The juice of lemon is another remedy. It also makes an effective thirst-quenching drink in
Measles

measles. About 15 to 25 ml. of lemon juice , should be taken diluted with water for this purpose.
Turmeric (haldi) is beneficial in the treatment of measles. Raw roots of turmeric should be dried
in the sun and ground to a fine powder. This powder, mixed with a few drops of honey and the
juice of a few bitter gourd leaves , should be given to the patient suffering from measles.
Powdered liquorice (mulethi) has been found valuable in relieving the cough, typical of measles.
The child patient should be given this powdered liquorice mixed with honey.
The use of barley ( Jau) water has proved beneficial in case of troublesome cough in measles.
This water should be taken frequently sweetened with the newly drawn oil of sweet almonds.
The seeds of eggplant ( baingan ) are stimulant. According to Dr. Sanyal of Calcutta, intake of
half a gram to one gram of these seeds daily for three days will help develop immunity against
measles for one year.
Children having measles should not be allowed to mixed with others. They should be given
complete rest. Hygienic condition along with the above mentioned treatment will lead to speed
recovery. Medications should be strictly avoided.

NATURE CURE
Mumps
Mumps are the epidemic Parotitis refer to a virus infection of the salivary glands, gonads,and
occasionally other parts of the body. It is a contagious disease that occurs most frequently in
children and young persons between the ages of five and fifteen years. The disease spreads
from children to children in schools. Babies are immune from this disease. Most persons have
mumps only once in their lives, but one person in ten may have a second attack.
Symptoms
The first sign of mumps is swelling and pain. The pain is first felt under one ear with stiffness of
the neck and jaw. There is a slight fever which subsides in three or four days. The swelling
appears first under one jaw and then extends under the other jaw. The gland becomes tender on
pressure. On account of the pressure of the swelling, mastication and swallowing becomes
difficult.
If the disease occurs after puberty, the testicles may be affected. The ovary may be infected in
females. IN males, the gonads are usually swollen. If the disease spreads to the testicles, the
swelling and pain are very considerable, there is a high fever, and the patient may become
depressed and even a little confused. Mumps can also lead to meningitis ( inflammation of the
soft membranes of the brain ) and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain ) with delirium, severe
headache and other signs of irritation of the meninges, or it may spread to the pancreas, when
the symptoms include pain in the abdomen and loss of appetite. The patient may vomit.
Causes
Mumps are caused by a virus which attacks the salivary glands of the mouth , particularly the
parotid glands located on each side of the face just below and in front of the ear. The infecting
organism is a paramyxovirus. After a person is exposed to a case of the mumps, it takes about
two weeks for the disease to appear. Dietetic errors are at the root of the trouble.
Treatment
The patient should be put in bed for several days until the temperature returns to normal. He
should be kept on a diet of orange juice diluted with warm water on a 50 : 50 basis for a few
days. If the orange juice does not suit, the juices of other fruits such as mosambi, apple,
pineapple, grapes, or vegetables like carrot should be given. The warm water enema should be
used daily during this period. Hot and cold fomentations should be applied every two hours
during the day for about 10 minutes, and should consist of two or three hot applications, followed
by a cold one. The mouth should be cleaned with an antiseptic wash.
When the child can swallow food comfortably and the swelling has subsided, an all-fruit diet
should be adopted for a day or two. Thereafter, he may be allowed to gradually embark upon a
well- balanced diet of natural foods, with emphasis on fresh fruits and raw vegetables.
Home Remedies
Chebulic myroblen ( harad or haritaki ) is one of the most effective remedies for mumps. A thick
paste should be made from this herb by rubbing in water and applied over the swelling. It will
give relief.
The leaves of the peepal tree are another effective home remedy for this disease. The leaves
should be smeared with ghee and warmed over a fire. They should then be bandaged over the
inflammed part, with beneficial results.
The use of the herb Indian aloe ( ghee kunwar or musabhar) is a well known remedy for
inflammed and painful part of the body in the indigeneous system of medicine. A piece of a leaf
of this herb should be peeled on one side and sprinkled with a little turmeric (haldi) and extract of
Indian barberry ( rasaut) and bandaged over the swelling after warming.
The seeds of asparagus ( halon) are valuable in mumps. These seeds combined with the seeds
Mumps

of fenugreek ( methi)should be ground together to a consistency of a paste. This paste can be
applied beneficially over the swelling.
The dry ginger ( adrak ) is considered beneficial in the treatment of mumps. It should be made
into a paste and applied over the swollenparts . As the paste dries, the swelling will be reduced
and the pain will also subside.
The leaves of margosa ( neem ) are also useful in the treatment of mumps. The leaves of this
tree and turmeric (haldi) should be made into a paste and applied externally over the affected
parts. It will bring good results.

NATURE CURE
Pleurisy
Pleurisy is an inflammation of the pleura, a serous membrane which envelopes the lungs and
also lines the inside of the chest. It may be acute or chronic, and mild or severe, the disease
may be limited to one side of the chest or it may include both the sides.
This disease can attack people of all ages, from children right through to the very elderly. Like
any other viral infection, pleurisy can occur in small epidemics.
The membranes that cover the lung are called pleura. The outer membrane, known as partial
pleura, is applied to the inner wall of the thorax, and the inner membrane, known as the visceral
pleura, covers the substance of the lungs. There is a capillary space between the two
membranes which is filled with fluid. This fluid enables the lung s to move freely in the chest.
The parietal membrane is reflected from the chest wall to cover the upper surface of the
diaphragm, and in the midline, it covers the mediastinum, the partition which seperates the two
sides of the chest and contains the heart, great vessels and other structures which run through
the thorax.
Symptoms
The onset of pleurisy is generally marked by a sharp and stabbing pain, which may be felt in any
part of the chest wall or over the diaphragm. Deep breathing or coughing increases the pain. IN
many cases, the diseases begins with a chill, followed by congestion of the pleura and later by
fever. The degree of the fever determines the severity of the disease. The inflammation destroys
the tissues and chokes the circulation within the tissues. Breathing becomes difficult due to the
clogging of the circulation, and by pain and swelling within the chest. Later a liquid effusion
escapes from the pleura, filling the open spaces in the chest cavity till the effect of the distension
becomes oppressive. After absorption takes place or after the drainage of the effusion, the
pressure is lowered, the pain is reduced and the patient feels relieved. It is sometimes dry
pleurisy, a form where there is little or no effusion or the effusion may be circumscribed. The
effusion may become gangrenous, or become mixed with blood, or be of a dirty brown colour
with an offensive odour, leading to much suffering.
Causes
The most common among the immediate causes of pleurisy is that of ‘catching cold ‘ followed by
congestion and swelling of the pleural membrane. It is a disease that is not caused by germs.
There will be germs of putrefaction later in the ooze of serum from the tissue . The disease may
be a complication of pneumonia, or pneumonia may be a complication of pleurisy. In a few
cases , the diseases may also occur in rheumatic fever , uraemia and other conditions.
Treatment
At the first sign of pleurisy, the patient should observe a complete fast, abstaining from all liquid
and solid foods. Nothing should be taken except plain water, hot or cold, as desired. Water may
have bad taste, but at least three or four glasses should be taken daily for the first few days. The
quantity of water should be gradually increased to five or six or more glasses each day. It would
be helpful if during this period of fasting , a full hot enema is also taken once daily.
A hot chest pack should be applied two or three times a day allowing it to remain for an hour or
so each time. If the fever becomes high, the packs may be changed to cold ones. If, however,
the reaction is not prompt and complete, it would be advisable to use the hot packs.
Heat is always helpful for relieving the sharp pain associated with pleurisy. This should be
applied for half an hour twice daily. The patient should practice deep breathing during this
period. Adequate rest and abundance of fresh air are essential.
In cases of dry pleurisy, further relief from pain can be obtained by strapping the chest. Heat is
not used when the tapping is employed. A neutral immersion bath at 100 F for one hour daily
Pleurisy
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap105.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:37:58 PM]
has also been found beneficial in the treatment of pleurisy.
After the acute symptoms have subsided, the patient may adopt a milk diet. IN this regimen, he
should take 250 ml.of milk every two hours on the first day, every 1 1/2 hour on the second day,
every hour on the third day and every three-quarters of an hour on the fourth day and onwards.
The quantity of milk should not exceed four litres daily. The patient may also take one orange
daily along with the milk diet.
As soon as the patient has gained slightly in strength, he should undertake moderate exercise
as a routine, avoiding fatigue. Air bath, sun bath and dry friction bath are of particular
importance. If there is any particular disease, present along with the pleurisy whether as a
causative or as a complicating condition, the same should also be given appropriate attention.
Chronic pleurisy should be treated in the same manner as to the diet and the application of heat.
All efforts should be made to increase the vitality, reduce toaxemia, and restore normal freedom
of chest movements. Several short fasts, at regular intervals, followed by milk diet may be
necessary depending on the progress for complete recovery.

NATURE CURE
Pneumonia
Pneumonia refers to the acute inflammation of the lungs. It is one of the most serious infectious
disease. There are basically two types of penumonia, called lobar pneumonia and bronchopneumonia
They, however, run into each other and are treated in the same way. The disease
becomes more seroious if both the lungs are affected. It is called double pneumonia in common
parlance.
Symptoms
Most cases of pneumonia begin with a cold in the head or throat. The patient generally feels
chill, shivering, difficulty in breathing and sharp pain in the chest. This may be followed by a
cough with pinkish sputum which may later become brownish. The patient usually suffers from
fever and headache. In more serious cases of pneumonia, the sputum may be of rusty colour. In
your children, the disease may cause delirum and convulsions. Most patients feel very miserable
and sweat profusely. The temperature may rise to 105 o F and pulse may go upto 150 beats per
minutes. A common complication of all kinds of pneumonia is pleurisy.
Causes
Pneumonia is caused by various types of germs such as streptococus, staphyloccus and
pneunococcus variety. At times, certain viruses are also responsible for the disease. Other
causes of diseases are fungal infection, irritation by worms, inhaling foreign matter, irritant dust
or noxious gases and vapours such as ammonia, nitrogen dioxide or cadmium.
The real cause of pneumonia , however, is the toxic condition of the body, especially of the lungs
and air passages, resulting from wrong feeding and faulty life style. Persons with healthy tissues
and strong vital force are unlikely to catch pneumonia. It is only when the system is clogged with
the toxic matter and the vitality is low that the germs of pneumonia invade a person.
Treatment
To begin with, the patient should be kept on a diet of raw juices for five to ten days, depending
on the severity of the disease. In this regimen he should take a glass of fruit or vegetable juice
diluted with warm water every two or three hours. Fruits such as orange, mosambi, apple,
pineapple and grapes and vegetables like carrots, tomatoes may be used for juices.
After a diet of raw juices, when the fever subsides, the patient should three or four further days
on an exclusive fresh fruit diet, taking three meals a day of juicy fruits such as apple, grapes,
pineapple, mangoes, orange, lemon and papaya. Thereafter, he may gradually adopt a
well-balanced diet of natural foods consisting of foods , seeds, and grains, vegetables and fruits
with emphasis on fresh fruits and raw vegetables. The patients should be given warm warm
enema daily to cleanse the bowel during the period of raw juice therapy and all fruit diet and
thereafter, when necessary.
The patient should avoid strong tea, coffee , refined foods, fried foods, white sugar, white flour
and all products made from them, condiments and pickles. He should also avoid all meats as
well as alcoholic beverages and smoking.
To reduce temperature naturally, during the course of the fever, the procedure outlined in the
chapter on malaria may be followed. Sipping of cold water has also been found beneficial in the
treatment of pneumonia. The patient should sip cold water at short intervals so long as the fever
continues. The cold water is cooling to the feverish blood.
Home Remedies
Certain home remedies have been found beneficial in the treatment of pneumonia. During the
early acute stage of this disease, a herbal tea made from fenugreek seeds will help the body to
produce perspiration, dispel toxicity and shorten the period of fever. In can be taken upto four
cups daily. The quantity should be reduced as condition improves. To improve flavour, a few
Pneumonia
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap106.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:38:10 PM]
drops of lemon juice can be used. During this treatment, no other food or nourishment should be
taken as fasting and fenugreek will allow the body to correct these respiratory problems in a few
days.
According to Dr. F.W. Crosman, an eminent physician, garlic is a marvellous remedy for
pneumonia, if given in sufficient quantities. This physician used garlic for many years in
pneumonia, and said that in no instance did it fail to bring down the temperature as well as the
pulse and respiration within 48 hours. Garlic juice can also be applied externally to the chest with
beneficial results as it is an irritant and rubefacient.
Sesame seeds ( til ) are valuable in pneumonia . An infusion of the seeds, mixed with a
tablespoon of linseed,a pinch of common salt and a desert spoon of honey, should be given in
the treatment of this disease. This will help remove catarrhal matter and phelgm from the
bronchial-tubes.
The pain of pneumonia can be relieved by rubbing oil of turpentine over the rib cage and
wrapping warmed cotton wool over it.

NATURE CURE
Sore Throat
Sore throat refers to the inflammation of the pharynx, or back of the throat. It occurs frequently
when a person has a cold or an attack of influenza. This inflammation may also involve the
tonsils and adenoids if these have not already been removed. An irritating condition of the throat
may range from the harmless to the potentially serious.
Symptoms
In case of acute sore throat, the patient complains burning and dryness in the throat followed by
chills, fever and some hoarseness or laryngitis. The lymph glands along the sides of the neck
may become swollen and tender. The back of the throat may become very red and even
covered with a greyish-white membrane. The patient may find difficulty in swallowing, especially
during the acute stage. There may also be postnasal discharge if the irritation has spread to the
nasal passages. The patient with sore throat, caused by ‘ Streptoccal’ germs suffers from high
fever and sharp pain with swelling.
Causes
Sore throat is mainly caused by bacteria or a viral infection. Many different kind of ailments can
give rise to this condition. The most common of these ailments are common cold and influenza.
Other diseases which can cause sore throat are tonsillitis, mumps, sinusitis, measles, and
diphtheria. Even leukemia on rare occasions may lead to sore throat. Other causes of this
disease are excessive smoking and talking, frequent use of voice as in certain professions like
singing, acting and teaching.
Treatment
The patient suffering from sore throat should fast on orange juice and water for three to five
days, depending on the severity of the condition. He should take orange juice diluted with warm
water every two or three hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. during this period. The bowels should be
cleansed daily with warm water enema. This should be done twice daily in more serious cases.
A wet pack should be applied to the throat at two-hourly intervals during the day, and also one at
night. The procedure is to wring out some linen material in cold water, wrap two or three times
round the effected part, and cover with some flanner. The throat may be gargled several times
with warm water mixed with a little salt. A hot Epsom-salt bath , taken daily during this period,
will be highly beneficial.
When the more severe symptoms subside,the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for three or four
further days, taking three meals a day of juicy fruits such as orange, apple, pineapple and
papaya at five-hourly intervals. Thereafter he may gradually adopt a well-balanced diet, with
emphasis on seeds, nuts and grains, raw vegetables and fresh fruits. The daily dry friction and
deep breathing and other exercises should form part of the daily health regimen.
Home Remedies
Certain home remedies have been found to be beneficial in the treatment of sore throat. One
such remedy is use of mango ( aam) bark which is very efficacious in sore throat and other
throat disorders. Its fluid can be applied locally with beneficial results. It can also be used as a
throat gargle. This gargle is treated by mixing 10 ml. of the fluid extract with 125 ml. of water.
The herb belleric myrobian ( bahera) is another valuable remedy for sore throat. A mixture of the
pulp of the fruit, salt, long pepper (pipli) and honey should be administered in the treatment of
this condition. The fried fruit, roasted after covering it with a wheat flour, is also a popular
remedy for sore throat.
Betel leaves (pan – ka -patta) have proved beneficial in the treatment ofthis disease. The leaves
should be applied locally for obtaining relief. The fruit of the betel tree, mixed with honey, can
also be taken beneficially to relieve irritating throat cough.
Sore Throat
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap107.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:38:22 PM]
The bishop’s weed (ajowan) is valuable in treating sore throat. An infusion of the seeds mixed
with common salt can be used beneficially as a gargle in acute condition caused by colds. The
spice cinnamon (dalchini) is also regarded as an effective remedy for sore throat, resulting from
cold. Coarsely powdered and boiled in a glass of water with a pinch of pepper powder and
honey, it can be taken as a medicine in the treatment of this condition. The oil of cinnamon,
mixed with honey, also gives immense relief. A gargle prepared from fenugreek (methi) seeds
has been found very effective remedy for treating sore throat. To prepare this gargle, two
tablespoons of fenugreek seeds should be put in a litre of cold water and allowed to simmer for
half an hour over a low flame. It should be allowed to cool to a bearable temperature. It should
then be strained and entire quantity used as a gargle.
The leaves of the holy basil ( tulsi) have also been found beneficial in the treatment of this
condition. The water boiled with basil leaves should be taken as a drink and also used as a
gargle in sore throat.
The patient should avoid rapid changes in temperature like hot sun-shine to air conditioned
rooms. He should avoid cold and sore foods which may irritate his throat. To prevent the
disease, a person should avoid touching tissues, handkerchief, towels or utensils used by the
patients suffering from sore throat.

NATURE CURE
Cystitis
The term ‘Cystitis’ refers to ‘inflammation of the bladder’. It is a most common complaint in
women. Escherichia coli infections are considered the primary culprit in cystitis. The female
anatomy makes it more convenient for e.coli bacteria, which normally inhabit the colon., to travel
from the rectum to the vagina, up the urethra and into the bladder. This condition is rarely
dangerous but it is generally a forerunner to more serious troubles. The reoccurrence of cystitis
may in some cases be associated with kidney troubles.
The kidney and bladder are the principal strikers in the urinary system. The kidneys are situated
on the back of the abdomen, one on each side of the spine at about the level of the lowest rib.
The bladder is situated in the lower abdomen, in the pelvis. The body is relieved of the greater
part of the waste matter, resulting from the complex working of the whole body’s vital processes
by means of these two organs.
Symptoms
Cystitis is characterised by symptoms which may cause great discomfort. The patient complains
of frequency and burning on urination as well as an almost continual urge to void. There may be
a feeling of pain in the pelvis and lower abdomen. The urine may become thick, dark and stingy.
It may have an unpleasant smell and may contain blood or pus. The ‘scalding’ sensation on
passing urine indicates that the inflammation has spread to the urethra. Some pain in the lower
back may also be felt in certain cases. In an acute stage there may be a rise in body
temperature. In the chronic form of cystitis, the symptoms are similar but generally less several
and without the rise in temperature. The persistence of the chronic form of the disease indicates
a process of deterioration, almost invariably due to wrong treatment of the acute form by
suppressive drugs.
Causes
Cystitis may result from infections in other parts adjacent to the bladder such as the kidneys, the
urethra, and the vagina. Local irritation and inflammation of the bladder may be caused if urine is
retained there for an unduly long time. It may also result from severe constipation.
Continual draining of pus and germs from an infected kidney may injure the epithelial lining of
the bladder. Trouble may also arise from the presence of a stone in either bladder or kidney.
Childbirth injuries and major surgical procedures within the pelvis may also lower the resistance
of the bladder-wall and predispose to the development of the cystitis. There is also the problem
of new brides who sometimes suffer from so-called honeymoon cystitis. The bladder wall may
become swollen and ulcerated so that the bladder cannot hold the normal amount of urine.
Germs may then find their way into the bladder and bring about chemical changes in the urine.
Calcium or lime may thus be deposited in the walls of the bladder, increasing the patient’s
discomfort.
Treatment
At the onset of acute cystitis, it is essential to withhold all solid food immediately. If there is fever,
the patient should fast either on water or tender coconut water for three or four days. If there is
no fever, raw vegetable juices, especially carrot juice diluted with water, should be taken every
two or three hours. By so doing the biochemical energy needed for digestion and metabolism of
food is diverted to the process of eliminating toxins and promoting healing and repair. It is
advisable to rest and keep warm at this time.
Pain can be relieved by immersing the pelvis in hot water or alternatively by applying heat to the
abdomen, using a towel wrung out in hot water, covering it with dry towel to retain warmth. Care
should be taken to avoid scalding. A little vegetable oil gently rubbed into the skin , will avoid too
much reddening. This treatment may be continued for three or four days, by which time the
Cystitis
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/ncure/chap108.htm (1 of 2) [5/19/1999 9:38:39 PM]
inflammation should have subsided and the temperature returned to normal.
For the next two or three days, only ripe sub-acid fruits may be taken three or four times daily.
These fruits may include grapes, pears, peaches,apples, and melon, as available.
While the hot compresses are intended to relieve pain, the use of cold water compresses to the
abdomen is most valuable, if correctly applied, in relieving pelvic congestion and increasing the
activity of the skin. Care should, however, be taken to ensure that compresses do not cause
chilling.
After the all-fruit diet, the patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet, consisting of
seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits. The patient should avoid refined carbohydrates
and salt, both at table and in cooking. Salt disturbs the balance of electrolytes and tends to raise
blood pressure, which is frequently already raised in kidney troubles.
The prescribed dietary should exclude meat, fish and poultry. They produce uric acid. Most
cases of food poisoning and infections, which may lead to gastritis and colitis, are also caused
by the flesh foods.
In case of chronic cystitis, the patient should commence the treatment of strict adherence to the
dietary programme, designed to cleanse the blood and other tissues and at the same time
provide a rich source of natural vitamins and minerals in balanced proportions. The patient may
adopt the following restricted diet for seven to ten days.
Upon arising : A glass of unsweetened apple juice or carrot juice
Breakfast : Fresh fruits, selected mainly from apple, pear, grapes, melon, peach and pineapple
and a glass of buttermilk, sweetened with a little honey.
Mid-morning : Tender coconut water.
Lunch : A salad of raw vegetables such as carrot, beetroot and cabbage, mixed with curd and a
tablespoon of honey. This may be followed by a ripe apple.
Mid-afternoon : One cup of unsweetened grape juice.
Dinner : A salad of green leafy vegetables and a fresh fruit, preferably a portion of melon
sweetened with a teaspoon of honey.
Before retiring : One glass of mixed raw carrot and beetroot juice.
After the restricted diet, the patient should gradually embark on a well-balanced diet , consisting
of seed, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits. Even after the recovery from the chronic
condition, it will be advisable for the individual to live exclusively on vegetables or on tender
coconut water or raw vegetable juices for a day or two, every month. The water treatment and
other health building methods should , however, be continued to the greatest extent possible, so
that the patient may stay cured.

Clinical and Scientific Evaluation of

INTRODUCTION
In 5th grade we are all taught a basic scientific fact, we are made of atoms. All things are made of atoms. Atoms are made of electrons, protons, neutrons, and other much less numerous subatomic particles. The electrons and protons make up by far most of things and thus most of our bodies. The electrons and protons are electrically charged. The electrons are so highly charged that they never touch but instead repel when they approach another. The electrons, protons, and neutrons are very small and they are held apart from each other by fields. If we condense the solid matter of the electrons, protons an neutrons together the human body would be so small it would take a microscope to see it. If the proton is the size of a golf ball, the electron is smaller than the size of the point of a pin and it is over a mile away. Between the electron and proton thus is electro-magnetic- static fields, held by Quantic forces. So our bodies are more than 99.99999999999999999999999 fields empty of matter. These Quantic electro-magnetic-static fields are what we are. This is 5th grade science.
Noone has yet to see the true nature of our existence. Noone can see the electrons, protons, or the fields they make. So we are only able to see a macro form of it. Our brains are trapped inside our skull and thus we cannot directly perceive anything. We are thus stuck with an indirect perception. A perception that comes thru the brain and is effected by our own internal brain state and personal bias. We project our own feelings, memories, psychic mental states onto our perceptions. It is difficult not to. So as humans developed we have made many assumptions of how the universe works, what is the nature of our bodies and lives, and our belief in a power greater than our own. And with a sense of history and knowing that we must project, and twist ideas, we should always be humble and recognize that we can never know. We are stuck making good guesses, better and better guesses, but always guesses. Science is the art of further developing the guess of our true nature.
In 9th grade we are taught about light. Light is made of photons. Photons are electro-magnetic radiation, particles in wave formations that can transfer energy. Quantum Electro-Dynamics QED tells us of how when a electron absorbs a photon the electron goes to a higher quantum energy state. When the electron releases a photon it goes to a lower state. QED tells us of virtual photons and just how all electron, proton, neutron movement is connected to the photon.
Voltammetry is the science of understanding how a substance’s electro-magnetic field reacts with its environment. A hormone has electrons and protons and how they are placed in a 3 dimensional space will determine how it exchanges electro-magnetic action and this is measured by measuring the 3 dimensional effect of it voltammetric field. The amount of charged particles is the amperage, the pressure or potential of the charged particles is the volts. Basic 7th grade physics. Every compound having its own individual and distinct voltammetric signature field.
There are other forces such as the large atom force that when the extreme energy in a sun forces protons to overcome their need to repel and forces them together. Thus all atoms past hydrogen and helium are made in the stars. Gravity is the force that draws matter together. This is a weak force, as Newton once said “it takes a group of matter the size of the earth to make a liter of water weigh a kilo”.
There is another weak force that is undeniable, the power of the mind. We know from Quantum theory that twin photons can be separated to any distance and when we tell one photon something, the other twin knows it instantly. At the birth of the universe there was a big bang where all of the matter of the universe came through a singularity in ten to the minus 43 of a sec. Thus at one point in our past history all things were conjoined and as such there is an ability of a quantic system to influence another. The observer effect of physics, the need for a double blind in medicine, subspace mathematics and other evidence proves this. There is not a law of Attraction as some have said but there is an effect of Attraction. There is a power of the mind (a known Quantic engine) to influence another Quantic system. Science has for a long time laughed at this and has purposefully avoided the proof of this true effect. And now science has become a search for funding not a search for truth. And since humiliation might interfere with funding most scientists still ignore the evidence.
So with some simple science taught in our schools let us analyze the development of biology. First our fifth grade science tells us we are mostly electro-magnetic-static and Quantic fields. Non- living things mostly obey the laws of thermodynamics. The laws of thermodynamics teach us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, and that heat must flow from a hot body to a cold body. The hot coffee must succumb to the colder room and the two gradually equate their temperature.
4 5
Biological systems outwardly disobey these laws by maintaining a temperature difference and not succumbing to the room temperature unless they die. Then as the Washington Post editor says, after death a person loses their battle with room temperature. Biology is using a slightly different system of laws with a more quantic system than thermodynamic.
A living thing must be able to metabolize and reproduce in some fashion to be considered alive. All of life is based on the transfer of energy from photons to electrons of atoms, acceptance of the free protons of water, oxidation and reduction of the electrical particles of life. Life is an electrical process. Metabolism is taking in nutrients, taking the photonic or electrical energy from them, and excreting the remainder as excretions of waste products. Reproduction is assembling new tissue for repair and also to propagate the species. The energy is Quantic electro-magnetic-static in nature as is everything. The basic energy of the electromagnetic radiation that is Visible light or Infrared heat. Plants take in low energy ionic bound minerals and use the energy of visible light to make high energy covalent bound plant compounds which are then food for the animals. This is the process of photosynthesis as shown in the Calvin Cycle.
Animals take in the high energy compounds of sugars / carbohydrates with electrons in high energy states. This electron energy is then gleaned in the cells via the Krebs Cycle to make ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) for energy. ATP is the key energy of most life. The master equation of life shows the key nature of the electrical / photonic energy exchange.
The single cell systems such as bacteria set up a boundary layer such as a cell membrane to separate the thermodynamic world from the quantic interior. Entropy and thermodynamics dictate process in the non-living exterior versus the Quantic organized non random entropy interior. Metabolism and reproduction guided by an organized accounting of energy intake and outgo. Geared for metabolism and reproduction. Quantic Electromagnetic fields in cyclic organized fashion that is mostly dependent on the Quantic actions of DNA. DNA can only be described in the Quantic electromagnetic actions of the fields of it voltammetric structure.
Single celled organisms develop or evolve into multi celled organisms. This needs more complex DNA structures and the number of chromosomes needed grows. DNA acts as the chief accountant as it sends off RNA and messenger RNA to accomplish the goals of life. Life develops with tremendous diversification over 100,000,000 organisms have evolved with various and diverse functions. But all are Quantic electromagnetic exchange devices taking in energy, excreting waste
products, and trying to reproduce. Everything having it’s own set of field intricacies, and a single reactive ever changing overall field signature. The Quantic Electro-magnetic-static field of an organism is reacting towards nutrition and away from toxins. To maximize metabolism. It reacts to mating signals and reproductive gesticulations to maximize reproduction.
The multi-celled organisms diversify and all have an innate non-verbal Quantic electro-magnetic drive for survival. Biology operates thru field interactions. The height of DNA diversification is presently the development of a word area of the brain, where we think in words. This allows for explicit verbal communication and explicit exchange of thoughts, feelings, desire, fears, etc.
There are over one hundred trillion cells in the human body and all are sending signals to the brain via enervation and photon exchange. Making some ten to the 16 bits of data a sec. Or less. 1,000,000,000,000,000. The word area of the brain has developed as a small part of the human brain. About the size of a golf ball this Broca area is for words. Words coming in and words going out. The rest of the Brain is for life, metabolism and reproduction. Life is an unconscious process. Life is non-verbal. We do not have to think words to live. Words are for helping us function in social ways.
We have a reticular formation in the base of our brains that act as a filter to screen out unneeded data from our word area. The word area has the ability to assay about one million 1,000,000 bits of data at a time. More and the word area goes into overload. Below one thousand sensory bits and the system goes into sensory deprivation mode. It invents sensory data.
This means that ten to the sixteenth bits of data minus the ten to the 6 bits of data for the word area and the word are of the brain gets one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of the data sent to the brain. The unconscious non-verbal body electric gets all of this data and much more.
The spiritual cultures of the world know this and all exercises in spiritual development revolve around diminishing the words in the brain and coming aware more of the unconscious process. Mantras, meditation, stillness, yoga, kundalini, and many others all say we must control and diminish to effects of the verbal word mind to get in touch with our body energetic-electric. The true self.
Much of the mistake of modern science and modern societies is to over value the words and the verbal process. Our society is presently over valuing the paper pushers and letting their need for words be more important than people. We need paper pushers and we need to have quality systems but there should be a requirement to try to minimize the over wordy and clarify the process of our society for everyone to understand not just the small minded paper pushers. This is especially true for biology and medicine.
The very process of life in an innate unconscious non-verbal Quantic electromagnet field interaction. Words have little to do with it. But so-called modern medicine has overvalued the words. They wait for the patient to verbally notice something is wrong, go to the doctor office and announce what is wrong, answer the doctors’ verbal questions, and receive verbal instruction. And yet this verbal exercise of medicine is only aware of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of the data. The body electric knows much more.

Patients’ words are influenced by their mood state. Patients all lie, at least that is what Dr. House tells us on TV. Patients sometimes say things they think the doctor wants to hear, they cover up things they don’t want the doctor to know and very often they are completely out of touch with their own feelings and symptoms. Once I asked a patient if they had regular bowel movements. She said of course once a week like clockwork. Words are often the only intervention given to a doctor. In ancient China the doctor was sometimes unable to see the patient if he was royal. So the Chinese doctors had to develop new skills. Words have been a hallmark of medicine but it is also one of the greatest limitations. You can be really sick and have no symptoms or any verbal awareness of your sickness. Many people have tended to not only over value words, but some assume falsely there are only words.
Dr. Hans Selye has developed a new style of medicine where stress (in it many forms) constitutes the cause and or aggravation of all disease. Our white paper on stress and Selye’s principles outlines this more thoroughly. Stress allows disease to form and weakens natural defenses against the development of disease. Stress complicates the electrical balance of the homeostasis of the body. All stress is electrical stress. (The White paper on stress reduction is published in the journal)
This little intro makes three valuable points for medicine and biology. First, all things are electrical
in nature and so is biology. Thus medicine needs to pursue a more dramatic effort to use electrical measures and electrical therapies. And second, the word area of the brain is often over-valued when it is just a small small part of the system. Third, stress reduction is a major part of medicine and has been undervalued in the past. The ICD 10 list Acute Stress as a disease and gives it a diagnostic number 43. What is acute versus non-acute is not up to anal retentive regulators but only up to qualified medical field personal on an individual basis. Biofeedback devices such as the SCIO are listed in the CPT manual as therapy for stress.This edition of the International Journal of the Medical Science of Homeopathy is dedicated to the presentation and review of the recent articles on the SCIO system and its use in stress reduction. We will present articles on Kirlian photography, Charge Stability, Redox potential, Stress Reduction all on the SCIO system.
The basic body electric parameters of Voltage, Amperage, Resistance, Hydration (as a variance of capacitance), Oxidation (as a variation of inductance), Proton Pressure, and Electron Pressure constitute the VARHOPE. This is first reviewed in the 1995 article in the International Journal of the Medical Science of Homeopathy. The body needs these electrical parameters to exist and perform any function. The first study presented in this Journal is an article on the scientific review of the electro-physiological processes of the body and how they can be measured and corrected with simple biofeedback and micro-tens treatments.
The EPFX device was first registered in America and was designed to measure these electrical indices. As the technology shifts to the QXCI and then to the SCIO there is a constant development of increased speed, accuracy, and effectiveness of these biofeedback units to measure and correct the body electric. The first published studies done in the late eighties and early nineties all point to effectiveness. A therapist in Germany remarks how the SCIO can make changes in a patient visible in just one session. In his experience he can take most any patient and measure their basic wellness and after just one session see measurable improvement. This leads us to the following series of experiments.
Clinical Study 1 Kirlian photography as a Measure for VARHOPE
Dr. Radu Stefan
A Romanian doctor used a kirlian photograph unit to do a test of the electrical systems validity. This Kirlian imagery device immerses the patient in a safe electrical plasma that can accentuate the presence of free electrical energy. Thus a type of electrical aura can be seen. Whatever you think of this technique and it’s somewhat bizarre claims, it is undeniable that it is showing a reflection of the electrical field in certain areas of the body. He took pictures before and after chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage therapies. There was little change. But the pre post pictures of the SCIO system show an undeniable electrical change.
We report these findings and photos as preliminary speculative evidence of the proposed effect of the SCIO on the body electric.
In his pre and post pictures there are very astounding changes in the body electric shown by the Kirlian photography. This proves that the SCIO system is capable of producing and increased electrical field around the human. There was no double blind or use of a standard measure, so a new experiment was needed to be designed. We need to measure more critically the effect.

Clinical Study 2
In Toronto, Canada a SCIO therapist did an evaluation of 100 patients of before and after VARHOPE readings. The results (published in this journal) showed significant changes after a two week therapy session.
Clinical Study 3
VARHOPE Large scale study.
This study demonstrates the safety and effective qualities of the SCIO device used in a large scale study. A large scale study of over 97,000 patients with over 320,000 patient visits reported their diseases. The SCIO measures global electrical measures of the body. When there are abnormal measures of the electro-physiological factors, the device allows a feedback loop between the Central Nervous System (CNS) of the patient and the device. Of the patient visits listed some 50 plus % (55,921) showed very low electro-physiological factors, below 30% normal. The cybernetic electro-physiological feedback loop was then used to help the patient reduce stress and thus improve the electro-physiological factors. There was improvement in over 95% of the electro- physiological measures at the end of the session (post test) versus the pre test. The average improvement in electro-physiological VARHOPE factors is 5%. These patients reported stress reduction and improved well being as well.
Clinical Study 4
Verbal report of stress reduction
As we reported in the introduction, many people over value and over rate the verbal mind. They might even think that it is all. At any rate a second test was designed to evaluate stress reduction over a three month period by using a verbal assay of the stress of the patient. The verbal mind is only aware of very little of the body’s activities and is easily confused and prone to suggestion.
A study of 240 patients, over a three month period started with a verbal questionnaire using the Beck’s Stress inventory. A placebo group was designed and the test sites of Speyer, Germany and 5 test sites in Italy were chosen. Under medical doctor supervision the intervention was a series of treatments with the SCIO or the placebo device.
This study had two main flaws. 1. There was no on site study supervisor to properly determine that the placebo device was fully disabled from the active software. Later analysis determines that there was confusion and perhaps no placebo was used. 2. The study used only verbal subjective measures and was not properly designed to measure electro-physiological or medical data.
The study results showed no difference from placebo group to treatment group. There was 62.5 percent improvement in both groups. This is a significant improvement over no intervention. Most people do not improve such after 3 months of stress therapy. So there were results. But since there was no guarantee of an established placebo group a fourth study was conducted.

PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the efficacy of the ECLOSION Electro Physiological Feedback Xrroid (EPFX)/Scientific Consciousness Interface Operations System (SCIO) device, manufactured by ECLOSION KFT (the Company), in stress reduction by introducing low-level electromagnetic frequencies into an individual’s body through electrodes attached to the person’s wrists, ankles, and forehead to balance or harmonize and return to normal the optimal frequencies at which the body’s cells and organs should resonate. This enables the body to strengthen, heal and expel the pathogens that propagate stress and its associated ‘unwellness’, consequently reducing stress and improving general health and function.
EXPECTED RESULTS
Following completion of the treatment phase with the ECLOSION EPFX/SCIO, it is anticipated that the subjects in the test group, relative to subjects in the control group, will show, where applicable:
• a reduction in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure reading at rest.
• decreased resting heart rate (fewer beats per minute)
• a decreased score on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), implying a reduced level of overall
stress.
• decreased scores on one or more of the six mood factors of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) Standard questionnaire, implying improved mood states.
• decreased scores on the State and/or Trait Anxiety scales on the Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), implying reduced anxiety levels and/or improved reactions to anxiety.
• a decreased score on the Beck Depression Inventory-II® (BDI-II®) implying reduced levels of
depression.
• some degree of satisfaction with the overall study outcome.
• maintenance in improved outcome measure ratings at the one-month post-treatment phase measurement time point.
For subjects in the control group, it is expected that there will likely be some improvement in measured variables. That is, subjects in the control group will likely report some of the positive changes listed above for test group subjects. However, on average, any positive change in post- treatment measures for control subjects is expected to occur to a significantly lesser degree than for subjects in the test group.
This study will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial designed to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the Eclosion EPFX/SCIO.
TREATMENT GROUPS
There will be two subject groups in this clinical study, with as close as possible to an equal number of subjects assigned to each of the two groups, as follows:
Test group: Subjects in the test group will receive the actual study treatment with an active, operational harness.
Control group: Subjects in the control group will receive a ‘fake’ study treatment with a placebo
30 31
harness that does not contain any active electrodes.
Apart from the distinction of whether or not the subject receives the study treatment with the true or placebo harness attached to the Eclosion EPFX/SCIO device, all subjects will adhere to all phases of the entire protocol design.
BLINDING
This clinical study will be a double-blind design, such that neither the subject nor the investigator will be aware of to which group a subject has been assigned (test or placebo) until after the clinical study is complete.
Subjects will be randomly assigned to either Group A or to Group B, by the independent study Monitor. Subjects assigned to Group A will be treated with the EPFX/SCIO device A using Harness A and subjects assigned to Group B will be treated with the EPFX/SCIO device B using Harness B. Only the study Sponsor will know which label (‘A’ or ‘B’) corresponds to the actual (test) device and harness and which label corresponds to the sham (placebo) device and harness until the study is complete. The Sponsor will ensure this information is stored and maintained confidentially at the Sponsor’s work site. This knowledge will not be shared with the investigators, subjects, or study Monitor until the final subject data file of the study has been completed and submitted for analysis.
The sham (placebo) equipment will be designed to have the same external physical appearance as the actual equipment. The difference is that the placebo harness will not be equipped internally with functional electrodes and the programming for the placebo device will output only blank matrices. Neither the actual (test) nor the sham (placebo) harness produces any detectable noise, heat, light or other sensation output, so this also won’t be a distinguishing factor for subjects or the investigator between the test and placebo devices.
STUDY PROCEDURE – STUDY QUALIFICATION EVALUATION SIGNING OF INFORMED CONSENT FORM
The investigator will start by presenting and reviewing in detail the items in the informed consent form with the individual and answer any questions he or she may have. To proceed further in the study, the individual must willingly sign the informed consent form at this time.
INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA EVALUATION
After voluntarily signing the informed consent form, the subject will undergo the study qualification inclusion/exclusion criteria evaluation as follows.
INCLUSION CRITERIA
To be considered eligible for participation in this clinical study, a subject must satisfy each of the following “Inclusive Conditions” criteria.
Population: Individuals with Elevated Levels of Perceived Stress
Individuals in this study will be males and females who present with elevated levels of perceived stress as indicated by a total score of 25 or greater on the Perceived Stress Scale.
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a global measure of perceived stress that assesses the degree to which situations in an individual’s life are appraised as stressful. The subject is asked to indicate
how often he or she felt or thought a certain way regarding14 items, following a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4, as follows: 0=never, 1=almost never, 2=sometimes, 3=fairly often, 4=very often. The PSS total score is obtained by reversing the scores on seven positive items and then summing across all 14 items, for a possible total of 56.
The PSS was designed for use with samples with at least a junior high school education. The items are easy to understand and the response alternatives are simple to grasp. The questions are general in nature such that they are relatively free of content specific to any sub-population group.
Validation data for the 14-item PSS was collected from three samples: two groups of college students and one group of individuals enrolled in a smoking-cessation program. Mean scores on the PSS complete samples ranged from 23.18 to 25.0. There was no statistically significant difference in mean PSS score between males and females, and age was found to be unrelated to PSS in all three samples.
Statistical evaluations found the PSS to have adequate internal and test-retest reliability and to be correlated in the expected manner with a range of self-report and behavioral criteria.
Additional information, including the complete PSS tool, can be found in Appendix C of this clinical study protocol. This includes the original article evaluating the scales, as follows: “Cohen, S., Kamarck, T., and Mermelstein, R. A Global Measure of Perceived Stress. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 1983, Vol. 24 (December): 385-396.”
• Able and willing to maintain regular and consistent diet, exercise and lifestyle regimens throughout the study.
• Able and willing to maintain current medication regimes throughout the study.
• Able and willing to abstain from partaking in treatments – conventional or alternative (such as hypnotherapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, etc.) – or over-the-counter or prescription medications, including herbal remedies, designed to reduce stress throughout the study, other than the EPFX/SCIO treatment that is part of this study.
• Between 18 and 65 years of age.
• Male or female.
• Females on adequate birth control or not of child-bearing years.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
A subject will be considered ineligible for participation in this clinical study if he or she satisfies any one or more of the following exclusive conditions criteria.
• Total score of less than 25 on the Perceived Stress Scale.
• Stage 2 Hypertension (elevated blood pressure), defined by a systolic blood pressure level of 160 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) or higher OR a diastolic blood pressure level of 100 mmHg or higher, measured using a sphygmomanometer and averaged across three seated (resting) blood pressure readings taken at 10-minute intervals. The first measurement will be recorded after the subject has been at rest (seated) for about 10 minutes. The source for the Stage 2 Hypertension criteria is the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure, American Heart Association.
32 33
• Subjects taking antihypertensive (blood pressure lowering) drugs.
• Tachycardia, Bradycardia or Irregular Resting Heart Rate, defined as follows:
• Tachycardia: rapid or increased resting heart rate of greater than 100 beats per minute.
• Bradycardia: abnormally slow resting heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute.
• Irregular Resting Heart Rate: Irregular pattern of beats wherein beats are consistently missed across a 60-second period.
Resting Heart Rate – the number of times the heart beats per minute – will be measured at the wrist (radial artery), using the manual palpation method to feel the pulse – the rhythmic expansion and contraction (or throbbing) of an artery as blood is forced through it by the regular contractions of the heart. It is a measure of how hard the heart is working.
Heart rate through measurement of the pulse at the wrist will occur as follows:
- The palm side of the subject’s right hand is faced upwards.
- The investigator places his or her index and middle fingers on the wrist, approximately ½-1 inch below the base of the hand.
- The investigator presses his or her fingers down in the grove between the middle tendons and the outside bone until a throbbing sensation – the radial pulse – is felt.
- The investigator counts the number of beats that occur in 60 seconds, using a watch with a second hand or digital second counter for accuracy.
Resting Heart Rate will be taken after the subject has been seated for 10 minutes. The subject’s final recorded pre-treatment heart rate will be the average of three consecutive measurements, each taken about 5 minutes apart.
• Generalized Obesity, defined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Center for Disease Control (CDC) criteria.

TREATMENT PROTOCOL ADMINISTRATION PROCEDURE
PRE-TREATMENT PHASE
The purpose of the pre-treatment phase is to record baseline measures against which post- treatment changes will be assessed, and to record demographic subject variables.
The following measures will be recorded during the pre-treatment administration phase:
Physiological Measures
- Blood Pressure: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) using a sphygmomanometer. If the pre-treatment phase occurs on the same day as the study qualification evaluation phase, then blood pressure does not need to be measured again.
If the pre-treatment phase occurs on a different day to the study qualification evaluation phase, then the subject’s blood pressure will be measured again at this time, three consecutive seated measurements, each ten minutes apart (as during the study qualification evaluation phase). Also as during the study qualification evaluation phase criteria, if the subject’s three-measurement blood pressure average falls into the category of Stage 2 elevated high blood pressure (defined by a systolic blood pressure level of 160 mmHg or higher OR diastolic blood pressure of 100 mmHg or higher), then the subject shall be disqualified from further participation in the study at this time.
Else, the subject’s blood pressure reading will be classified as follows:
Category Systolic (mm Hg) Diastolic (mm Hg)
Normal less than 120 and less than 80
Prehypertension 120–139 or 80–89
Hypertension
Stage1 140–159 or 90–99
Source: The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure, American Heart Association.
34 35
N.B.: When a person’s systolic and diastolic pressures fall into Different categories, the higher category is used to classify the blood pressure status.
- Resting Heart Rate: Resting heart rate – the number of times your heart beats per minute – will be measured at the wrist (radial artery), using the manual palpation method to feel the pulse. The precise methodology is detailed in the study qualification evaluation section.
If the pre-treatment phase occurs on the same day as the study qualification evaluation phase, then Resting Heart Rate does not need to be measured again.
If the pre-treatment phase occurs on a different day to the study qualification evaluation phase, then the subject’s Resting Heart Rate will be measured again at this time, three consecutive seated measurements, each five minutes apart, with the first measurement occurring after the subject has been seated at rest for about 10 minutes (as during the study qualification evaluation phase). Also as during the study qualification evaluation phase criteria, if the subject’s three-measurement Resting Heart Rate average falls into the bradycardia, tachycardia or irregular categories, then the subject shall be disqualified from further participation in the study at this time.
Else, the subject’s Resting Heart Rate will be recorded as the number of beats per minute.
A Resting Heart Rate in the range of 60 – 90 beats per minute is considered in the normal range. The average Resting Heart Rate for a male is 70 beats per minute, and for a female is 75 beats per minute.
Quality of Life Assessment Measures - The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS): The 14-item PSS questionnaire will be administered during the pre-treatment assessment phase ONLY IF the study qualification evaluation phase has occurred on a different day. Else, the PSS score attained during the study qualification evaluation administration will hold at this time. If the PSS is re-administered during the pre-treatment assessment phase, also as per the study qualification evaluation phase criteria, if the subject’s PSS total score is 25 or greater, indicative of excessively elevated levels of perceived stress, then the subject shall be disqualified from further participation in the study at this time.
Additional information about the PSS can be found in the study qualification evaluation section as well as in Appendix C of this clinical study protocol. - The Profile of Mood States (POMS) Standard: The POMS Standard is a factor-analytically derived inventory that measures six identifiable mood or affective states. The POMS is easy and quick to administer and score.
The POMS Standard is a self-report inventory that contains 65 items and takes about 10 minutes to complete. The items pertain to a series of mood states and the subject responds to each item based on how well each item describes his or her mood at the present time (right now). Each item is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from ‘Not at all’ to ‘Extremely.’ The complete POMS inventory is contained in Appendix E of this clinical study protocol document.
The POMS measures six identified mood factors:
• Tension-Anxiety
• Depression-Dejection
• Anger-Hostility
• Vigor-Activity
• Fatigue-Inertia
• Confusion-Bewilderment
The POMS Standard includes psychiatric norms derived from a sample of 100 individuals, college student norms derived from 856 undergraduates, adult norms derived from a group of 400 volunteers aged 18-94, stratified by age, gender and race according to the 1990 U.S. census.
Since 1971, many research studies have provided evidence for the predictive and construct validity of the POMS Standard. Alpha coefficient and other studies have found the POMS Standard to exhibit a high satisfactory level of internal consistency, while product-moment correlations indicate a reasonable level of test-retest reliability. Factor analytic replications provide evidence of the factorial validity of the 6 mood factors, and an examination of the individual items defining each mood state supporting the content validity of the factor scores. Many recent studies continue to add to and affirm the validity of POMS normative sample. A bibliography of published research of almost 3000 research studies from 1964-2002 utilizing the POMS adds to and affirms the validity of the POMS normative sample and is available upon request.
- Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) provides a reliable measure of both temporary and dispositional anxiety in adults. First developed by Charles D. Spielberger in the 1960s, the STAI was later revised in 1983. The revised STAI is typically referred to as the STAI-Y. The STAI is a self-administered test and it is the most widely used measure of anxiety worldwide, used in both clinical and research settings. It is suitable for adults at a 6th grade reading level or above.
The STAI consists of 40 items divided into two subscales or domains: State Anxiety and Trait Anxiety:
State Anxiety assesses an individual’s current level of anxiety – a more temporary state. The 20 items measuring State Anxiety ask subjects how they feel “right now, at this moment,” and reflects situational factors that may influence anxiety levels. Subjects rate their feelings about each statement on a four-point intensity scale of 1=Not at all, 2=Somewhat, 3=Moderately So, and 4=Very Much So.
Trait Anxiety assesses an individual’s anxiety proneness – a more general and long-standing quality of how an individual typically responds to stress. The 20 items measuring Trait Anxiety ask subjects how they “generally” feel. Subjects rate themselves on a four-point frequency scale of 1=Almost Never, 2=Sometimes, 3=Moderately So, and 4=Very Much So). Examples of items Trait Anxiety scale items are “I feel at ease;” “I feel upset;” “I lack self-confidence.”
Scoring: State and trait anxiety are scored separately. Each item is scored from 1-4, for a total inventory score range of 20 to 80, where 20 equals ’not feeling like that at all (state anxiety) or ever (trait anxiety)’ and 80 equals ‘feeling like that very much (state anxiety) or always (trait anxiety).’ Essentially, the higher the score, the greater the level of anxiety.
Both percentile ranks and standard (T) scores are available for male and female working adults and stratified by age.
36 37
Statistical data: Statistical analysis was conducted on a sample of almost 5,000 adults. For the Trait-anxiety scale, reliability coefficients ranged from .65 to .86, whereas the range for the State- anxiety scale was .16 to .62. This low level of stability for the State-anxiety scale is expected since responses to the items on this scale are thought to reflect the influence of whatever transient situational factors exist at the time of testing.
Regarding validity, correlations between the STAI and other common measures of trait-anxiety are as follows: the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale: .80; the IPAT Anxiety Scale: .75; and the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List: .52.
The STAI is contained in Appendix F of this clinical study protocol document. The STAI Manual is available upon request.
- Beck Depression Inventory®—II (BDI®–II):
Aaron T. Beck, Robert A. Steer, Gregory K. Brown
The Beck Depression Inventory®—II (BDI®–II) is in line with the depression criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders—Fourth Edition (DSM–IV). This new edition of the Beck Depression Inventory® is the most widely used instrument for detecting depression. It takes about five minutes to complete and is demonstrated to be highly clinically sensitive to measurement and change.
The BDI–II consists of 21 items that assess the intensity of depression in clinical and normal patients. Each item is a list of four statements arranged in increasing severity about a particular symptom of depression, evaluated over the period of the past two weeks. It has been validated for samples aged13-80 years.
Reliability: Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) is .92 for clinical patients and .93 for non- clinical individuals. Test-retest reliability is .93.
Validity: Concurrent validity: two comparisons between BDI-II and its previous version resulted in correlations of .93 and .84, the latter using the take-home form. Other tests found BDI-II to be correlated with the Beck Hopelessness Scale (.68), Scale for Suicide Ideation (.37), Beck Anxiety Inventory (.60), Hamilton Psychiatric Rating Scale for Depression-Revised (.71), and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety – Revised (.47).
Scoring: Most items on the BDI-II are rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3. Several items have seven response options to discern differences in behavior or motivation. The BDI-II is scored by adding the ratings for the 21 items. The maximum total score is 63.
Clinical interpretation of total scores uses the following guidelines: 0 to 13 (minimal depression), 14 to 19 (mild depression), 20 to 28 (moderate depression), and 29 to 63 (severe depression).
The BDI-II is contained in Appendix G of this clinical study protocol document.
TREATMENT PHASE MEASUREMENTS
The following measurements, using the tools and protocols established during the study qualification evaluation and pre-treatment assessment phases of the study, will occur at each of the following specified time points during the treatment course of the study.
There will be three during-study assessment time points, as follows:
• End of Month 1 (after the 8th study treatment)
• End of Month 2 (after the 12th study treatment)
• End of Month 3 (after the 14th study treatment)
At end of Months 1 and 2 assessment time points, the following measures will be recorded:
• Blood pressure: three-reading average
• Resting Heart Rate: three-reading average
• Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
At end of Month 3 assessment time point, all of the measures recorded during the pre-treatment phase will again be recorded, as follows:
• Blood pressure: three-reading average
• Resting Heart Rate: three-reading average
• Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
• Profile of Mood States (POMS) Standard
• Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
• Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II)

• Very Satisfied
• Somewhat Satisfied
• Neither Satisfied nor Dissatisfied
• Not Very Satisfied
• Not at All Satisfied
• Subject perceived group assignment: The subject will indicate whether he or she believes to have been assigned to the treatment or placebo group, and why.
• Investigator perceived group assignment: The investigator will indicate whether he or she believes the subject to have been assigned to the treatment or placebo group, and why.
At any time that is warranted: At any time that is warranted during the course of the study treatment administration phase, the subject and/or investigator may record the following:
• Adverse Reactions and Events: Any belief or perception that the subject may have experienced an adverse reaction or event as a result of the treatment with the ECLOSION EPFX/SCIO device.
38 39
A subject adverse reactions and events sheet will be completed by the Principal Investigator. Any necessary action will be taken. More detailed information on this process can be found in the section below titled: “REPORTING OF ADVERSE REACTIONS AND EVENTS.”
• Additional Comments: A subject or investigator may record any comments related to study participation at any time, as desired.
POST-TREATMENT PHASE
The post-treatment phase will occur two weeks (14 days) following the final treatment administration with the ECLOSION EPFX/SCIO at the end of month three.
The purpose of the post-treatment assessment phase is to gain a sense of duration of treatment effect beyond the cessation of the treatment administration period.
At the end of the two-week follow-up period, the following measures will be recorded:
• Blood pressure: three-reading average
• Resting Heart Rate: three-reading average

Discussion
Clinical Study 5
A double-blind placebo-controlled study of the application of the SCIO Universal Electrophysiological Biofeedback System for statistical evaluation of the SCIO’s ability to increase Body Wellness after one 45-minute session
Gage Tarrant, Bart Keough, Jane Summers, Jill Caravalho, Gene Helton, Lynn Smith and Julie Craker in Seattle, U.S.A.;
Jacqueline Jacques, Jean-Pierre Turblin, Adrian Muresan and Anne Préau in Paris, France; Dr. Codruta Bacean and Dr. Onut Bacean in Timisoara, Romania;
Dr. Rainer Mutschler and Kathrin Sollner in Speyer, Germany.
Dr. Danis in Budapest, Hungary
In this study there were conclusive results of electro-physiological improvement. This study was conducted at five sites of approximately 40 subjects in each.
Under medical supervision the study was conducted in Budapest, Hungary, Timisoara, Romania, Seattle Washington, Speyer Germany, and Paris, France. Thus there were over 200 patients in this medical study.
40
A host of wellness tests and electro-physiological tests were performed. The results showed significant results with the electro-physiological factors of the VARHOPE. Thus the SCIO was proven to have significant action in improving the electro-physiological field of a patient.
In a review of the results. Patients with dysfunctional wellness of flexibility, blood pressure, and other factors can be improved with just one session. This was a tendency that was not statistically shown at a 5 alpha level, but was seen in the data.
So after this series of experimental tests and evaluation we can conclusively conclude that the SCIO is
- 1. Safe (no report of any significant risk)

Stress is known to have many negative effects on multiple aspects of an individual’s life. Stress can affect an individual’s physical, cognitive, emotional and social well-being.
Different applications of biofeedback have been shown to be effective on stress management and health. Biofeedback is usually combined with a relaxation technique, applied before, during or after the biofeedback training. Studies have evaluated the effectiveness of biofeedback combined with a relaxation technique, EEG Biofeedback, EMG Biofeedback, and HRV Biofeedback and found them to have positive results on reducing the stress burden and alleviating the conditions.
In the fifth grade we learned that our bodies are made of atoms. And atoms are made mostly of protons, neutrons and electrons. There are great spaces between these electrons and protons and other atoms. Our bodies are made up mostly of electrons and their electromagnetic fields. Here is a Hydrogen Atom.
Introduction
5 August 2009 – 27 November 2009.
BACKGROUND: Stress is known to have many negative effects on multiple aspects of an individual’s life. Stress can affect an individual’s physical, cognitive, emotional and social well-being. We hypothesized that within one 45 minute biofeedback session, a measurable improvement in Body Wellness indicators can be achieved.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a 45 minute session with the SCIO biofeedback device affects an individual’s Body Wellness.
DESIGN: Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial.
SETTING AND PATIENTS: 192 individuals with awareness of levels of perceived stress as well as injuries/pain, between 18 and 65 years of age, male or female, randomized into placebo and SCIO test groups, at private clinics at multi centered sites.
INTERVENTION: Subjects were randomized to the test group (a 45 minute SCIO biofeedback system session) or placebo (SCIO, Maitreya Kft. www.qxsubspace.com)
MEASURES: Pre and post measures as follows: Quality of Life Questionnaire, Energy Index Factor (systolic blood pressure left arm sitting + the diastolic blood pressure left arm sitting x pulse), Grip Strength Test (measured in kilograms), Oxygenation Test, Flexibility Test (measured in inches in The USA and centimeters everywhere else), Memory Test, pH Test, VARHOPE scores (electrical measures within the device, as follows: voltage (V), amperage (A), resistance (R), hydration (H), oxygenation (O), proton pressure (P) and electron pressure (E)).
RESULTS: Patients in SCIO group had greater VARHOPE scores than those in placebo group (p<0.005). The other indicators of Body Wellness were not statistically significant, but there are trends in the improvement levels between the Test and Control (Placebo) groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The electrical parameters of VARHOPE can be improved by a 45 minute SCIO biofeedback session. However, it may require more SCIO biofeedback sessions for the other Body
In Hydrogen if the protons are like marbles, the electron is over a kilometer away the next atom’s electron is over 2 kilometers away, the next proton is over 4 kilometers away. So there is more than 99.9999999999999999% empty space. This space is filled with energetic fields. The electrons never touch each other so what we are made of is interacting electromagnetic fields.
Atoms are 99.999999999999% empty space and the empty space between atoms is just as or emptier 99.999999999999999999999999%. Electrons repel of course so the atoms with outer electrons repel each other. Why don’t things pass right through things?
Things don’t fall through other things because they are levitating on an energetic electrostatic fields. When you sit on a chair, you are not really touching it. You see, every atom is surrounded by a shell of electrons. This electron cloud presents a rather negative face to the world. Remember that like charges repel each other. When two atoms approach each other, their electron shells push back at each other, despite the fact that each atom’s net charge is 0.
When two atoms come together and have empty spaces in their electron quantum shells, they will share electrons to fill in the spaces in both of their shells. The electrons really do go back and forth between atoms and they do so pretty fast. Outer Electrons tend to be kind of mobile, which is also a very nice feature of nature, since without it your walkman would not work or you would

not be alive. It is the free electrons and protons in the body that allow life. Once both atoms’ outer shells are full due to this electron sharing, they go back to their usual repulsive behavior. This, by the way, is how we get molecules, hormones, enzymes etc and the secret to understanding Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Physiology etc. It’s all about the electrons and protons, charged particles and vibration.
The electrons and atoms of our complex Fractal body obey quantum, QED, photonic, electro- magnetic-static laws. This is a mouthful so we abbreviate and since these are all energy let’s say ENERGETIC.
There is undeniably a body electric and there is indeed an Energetic Medicine. Only a presumptive fool would assume otherwise. There is pressure from the chemical companies and their vast wealth and pervasive influence to view the body as a set of chemicals. But these chemicals are all made of energetic fields and they obey energetic laws like quantum, electro-magnetic, static, quantum electro-dynamic photonic laws.
This study was designed for a biofeedback device (SCIO) that combines all known applications of Biofeedback and a unique protocol that addresses specific Body Wellness Indicators.
The SCIO is designed to correct the manifestation of stress and/or electro-stress patterns within the individual at the most primal of physiological levels. The device works on the theory that stress disrupts the inherent electromagnetic frequencies at which the body’s cells, organs, etc. resonate and that by returning these frequencies to their natural state, the stress and any subsequent illness that occurred because of the disruption can be corrected.
The objective of the study was to determine if one 45-minute treatment with the SCIO would show a change, and hopefully an improvement, on a person’s Body Wellness indicators.
Methods
• Study design
The study was designed as a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study. The goal of the study was to analyze the changes in Body Wellness Indicators after one 45-minute SCIO session, so there was no follow up necessary days or weeks after the treatment.
All study personnel and participants were blinded to treatment assignment for the duration of the study. Only the study statisticians and the data monitoring committee saw unblinded data after the study sites are completed, but none had any contact with study participants, nor will they ever have contact with future participants.
Randomization was assured at each testing site by the one person organizing the subject scheduling prior to the study. As people called to schedule their appointments based on the Subjects availability, the Scheduler would randomly assign the subject to one group or the other depending on which room was available. None of the staff members involved in the clinical trial process were aware of what group/device was placebo and what group/device was real.
Each testing site was given two pieces of equipment – placebo equipment and actual equipment.
Testing sites were chosen on the basis that the staff was knowledgeable of the functions of the device and are well trained and supervised to conduct the study. Either the Clinical Investigator or an Independent Monitor supervised the study.
Subjects assigned to Testing Group A were treated with the SCIO device A using Harness A and subjects assigned to Testing Group B were treated with the SCIO device B using Harness B. Only the study Sponsor knew which label (‘A’ or ‘B’) corresponded to the actual (test) device and harness and which label corresponded to the placebo device and harness.
The placebo equipment was designed to have the same external physical appearance as the actual equipment. The software operating the placebo devices is designed to look exactly as the one operating the real device, with no distinguishing differences. The difference is that the placebo harness was not equipped internally with functional electrodes and the programming for the placebo device output only blank matrices. Neither the actual (test) nor the placebo harness produced any detectable noise, heat, light or other sensation output, so this also wasn’t a distinguishing factor for subjects or the investigator between the actual (test) and placebo devices.
To evaluate blinding, at the end of the session, both subject and investigator were asked to indicate which group they believed the subject to be assigned to (SCIO Test, placebo) and what led to that belief.
The study was completed in five testing sites on the following dates: Budapest, Hungary, 5-10 August 2009, Timisoara, Romania from 2-4 September 2009, Seattle, Washington, from 23 –
25 October 2009, Paris, France from 17-20 November 2009 and Speyer, Germany from 23 – 27
November 2009.
The investigation was initiated on the 2nd of September 2009, in Timisoara, Romania, and completed on the 27th of November 2009 in Speyer, Germany.
• Patients
A sample size of 40 patients per site was calculated. The sample size of 45 subjects per group (test and control, separately) has been determined using Table A.3. Sample sizes per group for a two-tailed test on proportions. P1=.20, on page 266 of the textbook, Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions, Second Edition, Joseph L. Fleiss, Division of Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Columbia University, 1981, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Publishers, New York, NY. To apply the values in this table to a one-tailed test, the alpha value of 2*alpha (0.05) was used.
From here, it was anticipated that about one-twelfth of subjects overall may withdraw from the study prior to completion for various reasons, including the length of the treatment period.
Final sample size = sample size X 1/(1-d); where d = # expected dropouts/# subjects enrolled. Final sample size = 45 X 1/(1-0.089); where d = 4/45
Final sample size = 45 X 1/0.911 = 45 X 1.098 = 49 subjects per group.
Therefore, a minimum starting sample size of 49 subjects in each treatment group was needed to insure that a sufficient number remains at the end of the trial (40 subjects per group) for any significant differences found between groups to be considered statistically valid and representative of the general population being sampled. For ease of division between the test sites, the number has been rounded up to 50 subjects per treatment group.
Patients were locally recruited in Speyer, Seattle, Paris, and Timisoara, from the pool of potentially suitable patients who normally attend the test sites for various services or form nearby consenting and suitable medical offices and other such suitable locations. Respondents were invited to the
44 45
session. After giving written Informed Consent forms, patients were screened by investigators. Inclusion criteria were perceived levels of high stress, injury and/or pain (based on a Quality of Lifestyle Questionnaire), age between 18 and 65. Exclusion criteria included extremely sick patients on more than 5 prescribed drugs, crippled and handicapped patients, diagnosed heart conditions, prior head traumas, pregnancy, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy, pacemaker use, serious mental illnesses, prior cardiac surgeries, seizure disorders, developmental disability or cognitive impairment, participation in other medical research in the past 30 days. At some sites, Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria were evaluation via email or phone in advance.
Participants deemed eligible based on baseline assessment were randomly assigned to either the test (SCIO) group or the control (placebo) group. Subjects in the test group received the actual study treatment with an active, operational harness, and those in the control group received a ‘fake’ study treatment with a placebo harness that does not contain any active electrodes. The investigators follows the same protocol for all subjects. None of the participants could discern if they were in one group or the other as the devices and equipment looked and felt the same.
Levels of stress were assessed by self-report questionnaires. Body Wellness Indicators were evaluated through physiological measurements and electrical device measurements.
The potential for adverse reactions were monitored at each test site according to the Freiburger Ethics Committee International, Germany, which approved the study protocol. However, no adverse reactions were reported during the study or after the study.
• Outcome measures
The study was designed to determine the device’s efficacy by recording baseline measures in the pre-treatment phase, against which post-treatment changes were assessed. There were 8 types of tests performed pre- and post – treatment, for both test group and placebo group.
First, the levels of stress and pain/injury were assessed using a self-report Quality of Life Questionnaire. The questionnaire had 10 questions to be answered on a scale from 1 to 10 (the higher the stress, the higher the value).
Then physiological measurements were taken for the assessment of Body Wellness Indicators, defined as follows: Energy Index Factor, Strength Test, Oxidation Test, Flexibility Test, Memory Test, pH Test, VARHOPE test.
Energy Index Factor was calculated using the formula:
Systolic BP left arm sitting + the diastolic BP left arm sitting x pulse = energy index factor.
The Energy Index Factor indicates parasympathetic control below 9,000, balance at 14,000 and sympathetic nerval control at 18,000+.
The strength test was performed using a hand-held Dynamometer. Subject held the Dynamometer in one hand, gave one big squeeze with one hand on the Dynamometer while the investigator documented how many kilograms of strength the patient was able to exert.
The same procedure was repeated for the other hand.
For the anaerobic oxidation test, the patients started in a seated position, relaxed and breathed at a normal breath rate for 1 minute. The subject took a deep breath at the same time that the investigator started a stop-watch counting minutes, seconds and tenths-of-a-second. Subject
stood up at a normal speed and sat down again at a normal speed while still holding their breath as long as possible. As soon as the subject stopped holding breath and took a new breath then investigator stopped the stop-watch. Investigator documented the length of time that the subject held breath during Anaerobic Oxygenation Test
To evaluate flexibility, there were three types of flexibility tests performed. Low back flexibility was measured with the subject sitting down on the floor with legs stretched out in front, heels approximately 20.32 cm (8 inches) apart. The subject extended both hands, outstretched fingers towards their heels keeping legs straight. Subjects were asked to do a maximum stretch and touch the floor as far as they can, even going past the heels, if they could. The distance in centimeters (or inches in The USA) from where their fingers touched the floor to the heels, with Zero at the heels, positive if they can extend past the heels, minus if they are before the heels. Normal scores are anywhere from -7.62 centimeters (-3 inches) to 0 centimeters (0 inches), scores below -7.62 centimeters (-3 inches) indicate low back difficulty. Ideal score should be 17.78 centimeters (7 inches) past the heels.
Side to Side Flexibility was measured with subject standing on their knees without bending forward or backward at the waste, and leaning to the left side, trying to touch their left palm to the floor. Normal readings are touching fingers or knuckles to floor. An advanced subject would be able to touch their palm. If they cannot touch their fingers it indicates a lack of flexibility. A protractor was used to determine the angle of flexibility.
Neck flexibility is measured with the subject trying to touch their ear to their shoulder without raising their shoulder to their ear. A protractor was used to determine the angle of flexibility.
The suggested method for the memory test was to choose a first set of 5 random numbers. If the subject remembered these numbers in the proper sequence (either forward or backward depending on the memory test), then the investigator added 2 to the existing digit and one more digit to the end to increase the sequence by one digit. This method was continued until the end. The investigators recorded the number of memorized digits (forward and backward).
An Over-The-Counter pH (acidity-alkalinity) Test Kit was purchased and used for pre-test and post- test measurements of pH.
VARHOPE is an acronym coined by the manufacturer in which V = Voltage, A = Amperage, R = Resistance, H = Hydration, O = Oxygenation, P = Protons and E = electrons.
The VARHOPE numbers are measured by the biofeedback device, during a 1,5 minute Calibration process and they are measured again at the end of the session.
The VARHOPE numbers are separated into two (2) categories where VARHO is one category and PE and the second category. The VARHO readings are set on a scale, determined by the manufacturer, from 0-110. Changes in the readings are shown on the scale where an increase in number shows in improvement.
The PE readings are set on a scale, determined by the manufacturer, where the closer the P reading to 75 the more the client’s state of wellness has stabilized, and the closer the E reading to 65 the more the client’s state of wellness has stabilized. This scale was chosen to make it easier for the layperson to accept readings on a simpler scale rather than electrical readings.
Voltage is derived directly from the skin electro-potential amplitude. Amperage is the amount of
46 47
charged particles flowing and Voltage is the pressure behind the flow. All biofeedback instruments measure voltage which is the electro-potential of the skin underneath the electrode. Amplitude disorders in EEC or ECG, refer to the voltage vector.
Amperage is calculated from the volume of current over a short period of time coming off of the body. Knowing the skin’s electro-potential and impedance using Ohm law of V = A x R (Voltage equals Amperage times Resistance), the current or amperage at a transcutaneously measured point can be calculated. This is referred to in the industry as a virtual measured variable. Using simple collective mathematics global measures of our patient’s Voltage, Amperage and Resistance can now be established. Amperage is the amount of charged particles flowing and Voltage is the pressure behind the flow.
Resistance is a measure of how a substance resists current flow. In a complex situation of multiple liquids acting as electrolytes and multiple membranes, there are induction and capacitance enhancements to the flow (magnetic and capacitance). Resistance is measured in Ohms.
Hydration The active stability of water concerning the amount of free water and its ability to permeate osmotic membranes. The electrical pulse of the SCIO stimulates osmosis. It is measured as the range of voltage scores over a period with the aberrant signals and cardio-signals filtered out give us a Hydration index. Voltage changes observed during the Calibration process give us a Hydration index (based on the free proton effect).
Oxygenation is given through the range of amperage scores over a period of time, with the aberrant signals and cardio-signals, which, when filtered out give an Oxygenation index. The range of scores, between maximum and minimum, reflects oxygenation giving an Oxygenation index. As the changing Voltage and Amperage is measured we get inductance and capacitance virtual scores and this allows us to find a Hydration and Oxygenation index. As Amperage changes slightly with each breath, we get an Oxygenation index from comparing maximum and minimum values. We need to observe several normal breaths to establish an Oxygenation index during the Calibration procedure.
Proton balance (in relation to Electron balance) The polarity of the signal and the collective global readings give us a proton-electron balance. Thus the system has an index which can be compared to established norms of patients based on age, stress, metal implants in teeth, smoking and behavior. Proton and Electron balance (or the charge stability of the client) affects the polarity and the resting potential. The slight changes in these electrical profiles can be measured. This is measured globally.
Improvements in the VARHOPE Scores show improvements in the body’s natural electrical functions.
For the purpose of this clinical study, the VARHOPE measurements were taken at the beginning of the test session with the SCIO and then again towards the end of the test session with the SCIO.
• Intervention
The SCIO biofeedback session was 45 minute in length. The SCIO device utilizes transcutaneous voltammetric evoked potential biofeedback technology, which consists of both hardware and software. The hardware consists of a digital interface box attached to the computer with electrodes attached to the wrists, ankles, and 8 on the forehead of the person (making up 12
transcutaneous carbon impregnated rubber electrode contact points). The software is a PC-based platform consisting of mathematical calculations and high-end graphics. The placebo equipment was designed to have the same external physical appearance as the actual equipment. The difference is that the placebo harness was not equipped internally with functional electrodes and the programming for the placebo device outputted only blank matrices. Neither the actual (test) nor the placebo harness produced any detectable noise, heat, light or other sensation output, so this also wasn’t a distinguishing factor for subjects or the investigator between the actual (test) and placebo devices.
After the pre measurements were taken, patients were invited to a quiet room, seated comfortably in a chair, connected to the device via harnesses and advised to be as relaxed as they can. The session protocol included relaxation treatments, Neuro Linguistic Programming treatments, electro-acupuncture, and biofeedback treatments.
After the 45 minute session, the subjects were ready for the post-treatment phase, were the measurements were repeated and recorded.
• Statistical analysis
Independent statisticians were hired to analyze the data and determine statistical significance.
Success of the study was determined by simple calculation of the percentage of subjects in each treatment group who met the individual subject success criteria. If these percentages showed that the overall study success criteria are met, the study will be considered to have had a successful outcome.
In addition, the primary efficacy outcome measure was evaluated. A one-tailed z-test of proportions was conducted to assess for a statistically significant difference in the average post- treatment Body Wellness scores for test versus control group subjects. Using the paired t-test, the percentage differences between the mean differences in final post-treatment Body Wellness score minus pre-treatment Body Wellness score for subjects in the test group versus subjects in the control group was evaluated.
For the primary outcome measure, an intent-to-treat analysis (including all randomized patients), and a per-protocol analysis (subjects without major protocol deviations, incompletes excluded) were performed.
Handling of missing data in the per-protocol analysis was according to the multiple imputation
method.
For the evaluation of the secondary efficacy outcome measures an ANOVA was used to evaluate the change in total Body Wellness score across the measurement time points of pre-treatment and post-treatment, comparing test and control group subjects. It was expected that more test group subjects will demonstrate an improvement in Body Wellness in one or more tests from pre-treatment to treatment to post-treatment than will control group subjects. There were made correlations between scores on the various inventories and a z-test was used to evaluate differences in outcome satisfaction ratings between test and placebo group subjects. Changes recorded on the VARHOPE readings during treatment and comments provided by subjects were also evaluated. A safety outcome evaluation of any reported adverse events and reactions was performed.
48 49
Analysis of results was performed by individual test site and pooled across test sites. Application of a balanced test-control group study design incorporating a block by test site randomization procedure contributed to statistical justification of pooling data across the different test sites.
The baseline covariates of age, gender and pre-treatment score were adjusted for in the analysis through use of an ANCOVA analysis.
• Results
The study flow chart, based on the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials recommendations, is shown in Figure 1. Subjects were recruited through local contacts on a voluntary basis. Some were screened beforehand via phone or e-mail and others were screened upon arrival. Potential candidates were excluded or deemed ineligible for the following reasons: a) did not meet inclusion criteria (n=3), b) scheduling problems (n=2), c) missed appointments (n=7). 192 subjects were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the SCIO Test Group (n=100) or Placebo Group (n=92). The subjects not included in analysis were those from whom no pre and/or post measurements were recorded at the end of the session. Reasons for not obtaining data were scheduling problems.

There were no adverse events reported during or following the study.
Discussion
We conducted a double blind, randomized study with a placebo controlled design to evaluate an intervention comprising of a 45 minute SCIO Biofeedback session. We looked at the impact of this session on electrical scores (VARHOPE), perceived levels of stress and pain/injury, blood pressure, strength, memory, flexibility and pH in subjects with high levels of stress. Significant effects associated with the intervention were observed in VARHOPE scores. The biofeedback session had no risks associated with the study. Compliance to the study protocol was maintained during the study.
The body is an electrical process requiring volts and amps which conduct through resistance circuits to operate. All muscles are activated by electrical impulse (e.g. action potential). Muscles themselves are magnetic using volts and amps for their operation. The brain is a massive collection of cells that have electrical activity that can be measured via the EEG. The heart itself is the largest electro-magnetic engine and uses electrical impulses to influence the muscles of the heart to circulate blood. Most EEG, ECG and EMG measures are only concerned with oscillatory properties and not so concerned with the volume or basic amperage of the circuit. The collective baseline of the circuit of EEG, ECG, EMG and GSR measurements can give us a rating of the global body voltage, body amperage and skin resistance (V, A, and R respectively). There are norms of the V, A and R and certain people, due to stress or other factors, can have low V, A and/or R.
The collective inductance and capacitance changes in the body are a reflection of redox potential and can reflect hydration (H) and oxygenation (O) indexes.
Irregularities in EEG, EMG, ECG and GSR can be corrected through guided electro-stimulation. The V and A are also greatly affected by the charge stability of the free protons and electrons, (negative charges and positive charges in the body), which collectively make up the proton pressure (P) and electron pressure (E). The acidity-alkalinity balance is an electrical measure of the amount of positive versus negative charged particles. This can be measured by the carbon based electrodes of the SCIO through electro-stimulation biofeedback.
This Clinical Study was developed in the context of substantiating the Indication for Use for the SCIO biofeedback device of rectifying charge stability imbalance and rectifying redox potential, two of the factors that influence Body Wellness. One study objectives was to determine if one 45-minute treatment with the SCIO would show a change on a person’s Body Wellness indicators as defined by the study hypothesis, which is now proven valid.
54 55
The other indicators of Body Wellness (Quality of Life Questionnaire, Energy Index Factor, Strength, Anaerobic Oxygenation Test, Flexibility, Memory and pH) were not statistically significant, although these results are highly valuable. . A closer analysis shows that there are trends in the improvement levels between the Test and Control (Placebo) group. As per the hypothesis defined in the Clinical Study protocol it was expected that any positive change in post-treatment measures for control subjects is expected to occur to a significantly lesser degree than for subjects in the test group.
The subjects were not equally assigned to the placebo versus test group, but as follows:
• Budapest, Hungary Control Group n=27 Treatment Group n=14
• Timisoara, Romania Control Group n=17 Treatment Group n=21
• Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. Control Group n=20
Treatment Group n=20
• Paris, France Control Group n=20 Treatment Group n=20
• Speyer, Germany Control Group n=8 Treatment Group n=25
Because the test/placebo assigned ratio was not equal, in order to determine trends of improvement per the study hypothesis, we have analyzed subjects from Seattle, USA and Paris, France (40 subjects in test group, 40 subjects in placebo group).
Strength test results analysis showed that 60% of the subjects in the test group had a 5% or more improvement in left hand strength, as opposed to only 35% of the placebo group which had a 5% or more improvement. In the case of the right hand strength, difference is smaller, however, 47% of the test group subjects improved more than 5%, and 37,5% of the placebo group improved more than 5%. The results show that there is definitely a possibility of improving strength with the SCIO biofeedback device, the question that remains is how many SCIO sessions would have a statistically significant result. Also, another thing to consider while analyzing the results is that the protocol followed included mostly general stress reduction therapies, as opposed to using specific muscle strengthening treatments, which could have a greater impact on strength.
It is interesting how the anaerobic oxygenation test had a greater improvement for the placebo
group (68,42%). Test group had an 55,26% of subjects that had a 5% or more improvement. The question this rises is whether the improvement occurred because the subjects had a chance to relax during the 45 minute protocol or because of the biofeedback session. The anaerobic oxygenation test requires a clear mind and a rested body. So whether or not the results are due to the relaxing 45 minute session is unclear.
Analysis of flexibility back shows that 60% of the subjects in test group had a 5% or more improvement versus 55% of the placebo group that showed a 5% or more improvement. 10% more of the subjects in the test group had a 5% or more improvement of flexibility side versus subjects in placebo group. In Seattle, side to side flexibility showed statistically significant improvement. Even though the overall analysis does not support these findings, it is a strong basis for future studies. Also, evaluating pathological versus non-pathological data revealed that, for one site (Paris) subjects with pathological reactions to the low back flexibility test had non-pathological reactions after the biofeedback session.
Flexibility of the neck has again quite similar results. 25% of the test group and 27,5% of the placebo group had a 5% or more improvement. It would be interesting to find out whether flexibility would be significantly improved by specific muscle therapies with the SCIO device. Considering the relaxation therapies that were applied in this study, it is definitely worth finding out how many specific SCIO treatments would have a considerable effect on flexibility measurements.
Memory test did not suggest any trends, but showed improvement of more than 5% being observed at an exactly the same percent of the test group subjects as the placebo group subjects.
Energy Index Factor, a variable based on blood pressure measurements did not show statistical significance. However, a study that evaluated the effects of GSR Biofeedback and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) showed that PMR inducted a significant decrease in blood pressure whereas GSR biofeedback training showed a decrease in respiratory rate. The GSR treatment was administered for 20 minutes daily, for 10 consecutive days. This provides a strong basis for a further analysis of the SCIO device sessions and the effects it might have on blood pressure.
This study has limitations, primary among them the lack of repeat sessions that require follow-up to compare results over prolonged time and repeat sessions. Nevertheless, the results obtained after one session provided valuable data on feasibility and plausibility. Another limitation was the short duration of the study. An alternative design would provide data obtained over a significantly longer period of time, which may also influence the results of the study and offer better understanding of the efficacy of a sequence of sessions with the SCIO device.
Conclusions
The SCIO device appears to be a valuable tool in improving Body Wellness. One 45 minute session had significant results in improving the natural electrical parameters of the body. The results also showed trends of improvement in other body variables, therefore providing a basis for future studies. The fact that there were no adverse events reported shows device safety.
The electrical factors of the body electric are perhaps more important than any other. The device used in this study was able to have a positive effects on slightly but significantly increasing the VARHOPE indices in just one 45 minute study thus increasing the wellness of the body.

These are exciting times. The Quantum family of devices has a strong history of science with the first trivector subspace studies done at Youngstown State University in the 1970’s. The sports studies are strong and the recent help we were able to give Novak Djokovic helped him to beat Roger Federer and go back to the world number 2 in tennis. I have written a new series of books to help you all learn more about our exciting science.
Our recent studies have prove just how safe and effective our device is. We have shown scientifically that our device can charge your batteries and improve your body electric. We have put VARHOPE onto the scientific map. Over a hundred medical science articles on our technology have been published in peer reviewed medical journals.
Studies have proven that the point probe systems like Vega, EAV and other are operator controlled. The operator consciously or unconsciously changes to speed of pressure delivery to effect a change of reading. Muscle testing is also directly under the therapist control, where the therapist changes the pressure widely to control the results. Since both of these techniques have been proven a scientific shams it remains to be seen what could be done to validate the electrical measures of reactivity.
Now we are facing the next challenge of the QC and TVEP work. The Quantum Quality Control (QQC) world patent has been accepted and the technology scientifically validated as a proper Voltammetric process. We can detect the electrical signature of an item with this equipment, amplify the signature signal and send it into the patient and see the reactivity. This is done on top of the skin (Transcutaneous), using Voltammetric signals, to get reactivity scores or what is scientifically know as Evoked Potential. So the TVEP is Transcutaneous Voltammetric Evoked Potential. This is called the Xrroid first registered with the FDA in 1989.
In 1994 the study was done comparing the TVEP reactions of all of the AIDS patients of Hungary in the Semmilvies hospital in Budapest.

The scientific conclusions were unveiled at a world congress on Sexually transmitted diseases in Singapore, 1996 the World Congress of AIDS and Sexually Transmitted disease. . This showed a reactivity pattern of AIDS patients and lead to developing herbal remedies for AIDS. The major research project NAHINGA in Africa has had great results and success from this basic research.
In 1995 a research project at the Szent Janos Hospital in Budapest on cataracts with the Xrroid reactivity patterns lead to the discovery of the way excess dextrose sugar is the main cause of cataracts and a homeopathic process to treat the cataracts resulted with great success.

Now the world of doing studies has become very complicated and extremely regulated. So much so that the FDA is trying to help make it a little easier. They have written an article enclosed with
this letter to get people like you to help do some science. We at Maitreya have procured an American approved Institutional Review Board (IRB), medical supervision, and a study for any of you to help do science.
We have everything ready we need you. You pick a disease or condition you want to treat, like autism as just one example. You line up some patients. Even as little as six patients will do. You officially join our study project as an investigator. We review your credentials to see what kind of supervision you will need. If you require such supervision it is supplied on line. You set up two days for treatment with about half on one day and half on the next. If you have a large group it might take more than two days.
We teach you what to do and how to get informed consent from your study participants.
Our placebo study supervisor goes onto your computer online and sets it randomly to placebo setting. Then neither you nor the patients know what day is placebo and what day or days are normal. This is called double blind. You treat the patients with one session no more than one hour and you send the data to us on line. Very simple indeed, easy for you and us. All of this officially registered for acceptable research parameters.
You may help find the next cure for a major disease. You may be putting your name into the history books. Very simple and very easy, and our data gets published in an ISSN peer reviewed medical journal which is good for your CV resume’.
So please help us to help the world help us to do the next step of science in getting our technology out to the masses. If you have questions and or would like to get started please tell us. Write

VARHOPE and Stress
The above diagram shows a key little known fact of biology. The factors of the wave formations of people differ from person to person. The values shown are not perfect. The height of the curve is the Voltage. Voltage is easily calculated from the electro-potential readings coming from the harness skin contacts. The area under the curve is the Amperage. An incremental measure of variant amplifications gives us an Amperage correlate. Resistance is easily calculated by determining the resistance to flow of a known voltammetric signal. With Voltage and Resistance known with the Amperage correlate and an application of Ohms law (Volts equals Amps times Resistance) we can virtually calculate Amperage better.
Amperage is the amount of charged particles flowing and Voltage is the pressure behind the flow. Without Volts and Amps there is no life.
Proton and Electron pressure or the charge stability of the system affects the polarity and the resting potential. The slight changes in these electrical profiles can be measured.
As we measure the changing Volts and Amps we get inductance and capacitance virtual scores and this allows us to find a Hydration and Oxygenation index. As Amperage changes slightly with each breath, we get an Oxidation index from comparing max and min values. Electrical measures of Oxidation are well known in the literature. We need to observe several normal breaths to establish a Oxidation index during the Calibration procedure. Voltage changes observed during the Calibration process give us a Hydration index (based on the free proton effect).
Thus there are definitely electrical values of each patient at multiple globally placed electrodes that make up a VARHOPE profile. These factors are most often controlled by life style behaviors and stress. Slight regulatory balancing from the guided electro-stimulation of the SCIO can also make changes.
Early Volt-Ammetry research noted a connection of body Voltage with the catecholamines of the body, and Amperage to the indolamines. The catecholamines are the hormones associated with the adrenal system, our fight flight system. Hypoadrenia is epidemic in our stress filled society. Stress unmanaged is weakening our adrenals and lessening our body Voltage. The indolamines are brain hormones associated with love and other high brain function.
Resistance measured in Ohms is perhaps the greatest variant. Normal skin resistance is 40 to 50 thousand Ohms. Our normal of 100 is based on there being not too much or too little Resistance. Inflammation diseases will makes Resistance go down and conductance go up. Degenerative diseases will make Resistance go up and conductance down. This is well documented in the literature. There are other things that effect Resistance that must be ruled out. But as we pass a current thru a limb or quadrant a decreased Resistance will reflect possible inflammation and an increased Resistance possible degeneration. Soft tissue will respond to lower frequencies below 100 and the bone to frequencies of 300 to 600. There can be degeneration and inflamation in the same quadrant. But the cybernetic pulse is designed to systematically thru stimulation measure and re-stimulation produce a guided auto-focusing pulse to treat any aberrant electrical profile. This is the SCIO.
Volts times Amps is Power. This is measured in Watts. The Volt-Ammetric research showed that giving catecholamines such as adrenalin made voltage go up. Giving indolamines like serotonin made Amperage go up. When body the body Amperage falls to low it signals the end of life. Adrenalin is associated with fear and anger. Serotonin is associated with love. We see reports of a small 100 pound mother picking up a car to save her child. An act of love. We do not hear reports of her picking up a car to throw at her husband. So love with indolamines power Amperage are more powerful. Increasing the Amperage of a circuit is more effective in power than Voltage.
Glen Rein and others have reported seeing an increase of adrenalin with a stimulation of the body of a 500 hz signal. Indolamines were found to increase with a 1000 hz signal. The SCIO system can act to increase low Voltage and Amperage thru electro-stimulation. There is much volt-ammetric research on the effects of certain frequencies on the parts or hormones of the body.
Electro-stimulation is shown to increase osmosis thereby freeing minerals to stabilize pH. Cranial Electro Stimulation (CES) is used for treating stress, insomnia, depression, etc. and the use of MENS is found to have positive effects on pain, wound and trauma treatment. Once a body is subjected to low pulsed micro-current therapy the benefits are manifest in many ways. But the greatest value is improving the bodies resistance to stress. Stress and stressors are the cause of all disease.
The SCIO sends in a micro-current stimulation and measures response. We can determine if the body responds harmonically or positively or negatively to the stimulation by analyzing the response. Thus a guided cybernetic loop pulse can help to increase the effects of the electro- stimulation. The body can be improved electrically and all regulatory procedures in the body can be improved with an increased VARHOPE profile.

The charge stability or Proton Electron pressure pH is a measure of the relative amount of charged particles in a system. We measure this globally as a measure of the whole body. Acids accept electron since they have an excess of protons. Hence the HCl, HS, HN, or the H means hydrogen which is a proton. Bases donate electrons since they have an excess of negative charge.
Most of our patients (over 80%) are sick because they are extra acid from stress, diets of meat and potatoes. They need electrons. The SCIO can shift from a sine wave to a square wave. This supplies more electrons. The body electric can divert the electrons to where they are needed.
If the patient is more alkaline, a spike wave is designed to help siphon off the excess through the device ground. The micro-current system can assist in correcting pH irregularities.
An Alarm response to a signal is produced by an unnatural increase in voltage on all electrode points. Harmonic reaction show little reaction. And resonant reactions show positive. So we can monitor the body electric and let the system auto-focus the safe micro-current to help correct functions of VARHOPE.
There are oscillation functions in the body such a brain wave, heart action, and muscles. The SCIO can help to stabilize regulation of these processes with electro-stimulation as well. it is well shown in the literature how electro-stimulation of the body can have beneficial effects in these areas. The SCIO simply uses a cybernetic biofeedback loop to sharpen the auto-focusing effects of the safe micro-current device.
The next discussion is of the basic nature of electrical charge in biology.
Life must keep Potassium inside the cell and Sodium outside of the cell. The natural thermodynamic balance is for them to gravitate to be equal. So potassium has a natural pull to go out and sodium to go into a cell. Because the concentration gradient for potassium is directed out of the cell, while the concentration gradient for sodium is directed into the cell, there is a need for a sodium pump to stabilize the life of the cell. This takes the energy of ATP to operate the sodium pump. The sodium-potassium pump transports 2 potassium ions inside and 3 sodium ions outside at the cost of 1 ATP molecule. There should be twice as much potassium as sodium in the healthy human body.
Membrane potentials are defined relative to the exterior of the cell; thus, a potential of −70 mV implies that the interior of the cell is negative charge relative to the exterior. Life is electrical.
Electrons never touch, so atoms never touch, molecules never touch. Not much ever touches anything. It is all an interaction of their fields. Research has shown that when we apply even a weak current or electro-potential across a cell, membranes become more osmotic. Osmosis increases with small electro-potential stimulation. The membranes shown above have different electro- potentials across them. The main factors of membrane potential are membrane consistency which is based on the quantity and quality of the fatty acids and minerals. Calcium is the best universal membranous mineral. So lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise are the first considerations and the SCIO approaches them first in the SOC inventory. The second factors of membrane potential are the existence of the free charges in the body. if the body is acid (as over 80% of our patients are) they crave electrons. The SCIO can supply electrons and electro-stimulation that will increase osmosis, increase membrane transport of nutrients in and toxins out, increasing hydration and oxidation. If there is an alkaline terrain the SCIO can ground out excess electrons and help to balance the body electric while still increasing osmosis.
Slight electro-stimulation is shown to not only increase osmosis, but to have pain reducing qualities (MENS), relaxation effects, mood stabilization (CES), and charge stability. When you charge your car battery you use a trickle tickle charger. It supplies a similar charge to the battery over a long period to tickle and trickle the needed electrons into the battery. The SCIO works this way as well. In the picture of the two cells we e that the sad cell has less electro-potential or is a weak battery. The SCIO sense the proper frequency the patient’s body electric responds to and the trickle tickles the charge into the cells. This increases osmosis and charges the cells back to proper cellular membrane potential.
Just like the tickle trickle battery charger, too much current will not be accepted. The body is especially designed to not accept large charges. A small charge that is much like the body’s own level of volts, amps resistance and oscillation resonance is best to use for charging the body’s cell membrane batteries. The SCIO having measured the body electric factors then applies a stimulus to charge or balance the system and monitors it’s progress with a feedback loop.
Our experimental research shows an increased VARHOPE score after the SCIO treatment proving it effectiveness and safety. The short term effects will be better and longer lasting if they are coupled with life style changes. REF STUDIES
POTASSIUM AND SODIUM
As we have said there should be twice as much potassium as sodium in the healthy human body. But people like salt and producers put more salt into foods to sell and satisfy customers. Potassium occurs mostly in fruit and vegetables. Potassium makes foods turn Orange. So oranges, pumpkin, paprika, squash etc have the most. Most people get too much sodium and too little potassium. This puts pressure on the potassium-sodium pump. This wastes ATP needed for other cellular functions and stress the body electric. The excess sodium makes the body go acid with excess positive charge. This drives the charge stability of the body to the acid state and is reflected in the measurements made from the SCIO. There are many other factors that can upset this electrical balance.

The electro-potential of the cell membrane must be kept inside some strict limits to assure proper electrical activity for life. The cell is an electrical dynamo needing energy for activity. This energy comes from hot electrons (high quantum state energy of electrons in food). The food has gotten it’s energy from the sun’s visible light photons energizing the electrons to higher quantum states. The quantum energy is broken down in Krebs cycle to make ATP. Photons of heat are released. The cells will have electrical activity that is of a tight range and thus electro-medicine will need to decipher the code of the types of variations in the body electric that hallmark disease states. The cell must fight thermodynamics to live.
The factors of mineral balance especially sodium to potassium is largely a nutritional issue. Too much sodium versus potassium is one of the greatest single health risks today. Oxygenation is also key. Smoking and lack of exercise is epidemic and killing millions. Over use and improper use of doctor prescribed medicines is also killing millions. Too much animal fat, trans-fatty acids, dextrose sugar, processed foods, food additives, environmental toxicity, mercury amalgams, and uncontrolled stress are life style factors that are killing millions of people. So the first place to start with health care is the behavior. Behavioral medicine is a ever growing issue of responsibility in health care. The SCIO devotes its first level of use and design to the education and possible correction of life style issues. It is important to point out the value and importance of correcting these issues for health.
Correlations between whole-body impedance measurements and various bio-conductor volumes, such as total body water and fat-free mass, are experimentally well established; we can measure many different factors of the body electric. First there is skin electro-potential.
Each of these small little batteries we call cells blend in harmony to make the multi-cellular organism we call the human. The hundred trillion cells in the human body act both in series and in parallel to make the electro-potentials of the human body. Most of these cells are surrounded by fluid (interstitial, lymph, blood etc.). Theses fluids are mostly water with lots of free protons, electrons and minerals which further enhance the electrical factors. The normal cell has a resting voltage potential across the membrane of 70milli-volts (-70mv). The brain cell will fire at peak voltage of +30mv so as to create a difference of 100 milli-volts.
Thus the body has a measureable voltage and amperage while living. This electro-potential is oscillating and or pulsing. Cells charge and discharge electricity at varying speeds. Global measures reflect trends of the cells in the area to be measured. There are norms of these measures.
The amperage and voltage coming off of the body’s skin is of a range of zero to 5 milliamps and
1.5 volts. Zero is obvious as we all have seen the flat line in a movie telling us the person is dead. Normal people put off micro-amperage and milli-volts, the extreme can be seen at over a volt. The criteria of these potentials are derived from their location and oscillation.

The brain cell will fire with a process called action potential. An action potential is a very rapid change in membrane potential that occurs when a nerve cell membrane is stimulated. Specifically, the membrane potential goes from the resting potential (typically -70 mV) to some positive value (typically about +30 mV) in a very short period of time (just a few milliseconds).
What causes this change in potential to occur? The stimulus causes the sodium gates (or channels) to open and, because there’s more sodium on the outside than the inside of the membrane, sodium then diffuses rapidly into the nerve cell. All these positively-charged sodium ions rushing in causes the membrane potential to become positive (the inside of the membrane is now positive relative to the outside). The sodium channels open only briefly, and then close again. This difference makes a potential at the skin measured by the SCIO system, as with all biofeedback systems.
The SCIO measures electro-potential at the 12 harness points in the clear, then applies a voltammetric signal into any or all of the points, then measures the harness points with the applied signal. The amperage and voltage coming off of the non stimulated body’s skin is usually of a range of zero to 5 milliamps and 1.5 volts. Zero is obvious as we all have seen the flat line in a movie telling us the person is dead. Normal people put off micro-amperage and milli-volts, the extreme can be seen at over a volt. The criteria of these potentials are derived from their location and oscillation. Thus we can calculate the base body voltage, amperage and resistance from our readings.
If we measure on the scalp or the forehead as in the case of the SCIO, we can measure the transcutaneous correlate of the activity of brain cells firing in the brain below the point of measure. This is called EEG or electroencephalography. We can ascertain the Brain wave from the oscillation pattern. The pattern or rhythm of the brain wave is from 4 hertz as delta waves, 4-8 Hz for theta, 8 to 20 for alpha, and 20 to 100 for beta waves. If we measure the electro potential of the skin and filter out these waves we can get the EEG.
If we measure on the forehead, wrists and ankles as in the case of the SCIO, we can measure the transcutaneous correlate of the activity of muscle cell activity between the points of measure. This is called EMG or electromyleography. We can ascertain the muscle activity from the oscillation pattern. The pattern or rhythm of the muscle waves is from 2 to 20 normally with variant spindles up to 1000 Hz. If we measure the electro potential of the skin and filter in these waves we can get the EMG.
If we measure on the wrists and left leg as in the case of the SCIO, we can measure the transcutaneous correlate of the activity of heart cells between the points of measure. This is called ECG or electrocardiography. We can ascertain the Heart wave from the oscillation pattern. The pattern or rhythm of the heart wave is from zero to 2 Hz. If we measure the electro potential
of the skin and filter out these waves we can get the ECG. The heart signal is the largest in potential and smallest in time measured in biofeedback.
To measure skin resistance, we must apply a known voltammetric signal as an input and then see how much of it is resisted by the body, most applicably by the skin. The measure the galvanic skin resistance or impedance we need to be able to input a voltammetric signal into the electrode points. This is a variant signal in the SCIO of variant wave forms, and wave potentials. The measured output of resistance is usually non hertzian. Pulsations in resistance reactivity are fractal and non repeating.
The voltammetric signal of the SCIO is of a micro-current nature. The applied signal strength is derived from the base signal strength of the patient body natural. We are of the philosophy that signals exceeding twice the body norm will be considered invasive and the body will react adversely to such signals. We wish to just tickle the body with electro-stimulus near the natural. Thus the upper limits of the SCIO body stimulation output will be 5 volts, and 50 micro-amps. All of this is under the regulatory safety criteria specified.
Thus as seen in the EPFX FDA 1989 registration the SCIO is registered to measure volts and amps at 12 points of forehead, wrist and ankles. Input a voltammetric signal to these points, and then measure the reaction of resistance at these points. The SCIO then can acts as a frequency generator sending out voltammetric waveforms and a frequency counter measuring frequency response.
From these simple criteria a host of electrophysiological data can spin out to assist the SCIO in correcting aberrant electrophysiological functioning. Electro-stimulation is helpful in osmotic stimulation, transcutaneous electro-nerval-stimulation for pain control and injury or wound healing, redox stimulation, and others. The SCIO uses a cybernetic loop of analysis to use this electro stimulation to adjust electro-physiology of the patient.
Smooth muscle intracellular pH: measurement, regulation, and function
Smooth muscle performs many functions that are essential for the normal working of the human body. Changes in pH are thought to affect many aspects of smooth muscle. Despite this, until recently little was known about either intracellular pH (pHi) values or pHi regulation in smooth muscle. Recent work measuring pHi with either microelectrodes or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is now providing some of this much needed information for smooth muscles. From these studies, it can be concluded tentatively that pHi is the same in different smooth muscles, approximately 7.06 (37 degrees C).
This value is very close to those obtained in cardiac and skeletal muscle. It is clear that H+ is not in equilibrium across the smooth muscle membrane; i.e., pHi is regulated. Preliminary results in smooth muscle suggest that certain aspects of this regulation are different from that described for other muscle types. Changes in pH have been found to produce marked effects on contraction in smooth muscle. Of particular interest is the fact that, unlike striated muscles, some smooth muscles can product more force during an intracellular acidification.

Abstract Eighteen children with ADD/ADHD, some of whom were also LD, ranging in ages from 5 through 15 were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. The experimental condition consisted of 40 45-minute sessions of training in enhancing beta activity and suppressing theta activity, spaced over 6 months. The control condition, waiting list group, received no EEG biofeedback. No other psychological treatment or medication was administered to any subjects. All subjects were measured at pretreatment and at posttreatment on an IQ test and parent behavior rating scales for inattention, hyperactivity, and aggressive/defiant (oppositional) behaviors. At posttreatment the experimental group demonstrated a significant increase (mean of 9 points) on the K-Bit IQ Composite as compared to the control group (p<.05). The experimental group also significantly reduced inattentive behaviors as rated by parents (p<.05). The significant improvements in intellectual functioning and attentive behaviors might be explained as a result of the attentional enhancement affected by EEG biofeedback training. Further research utilizing improved data collection and analysis, more stringent control groups, and larger sample sizes are needed to support and replicate these findings. Page 3. EEG Biofeedback for ADD 37 Research efforts into new treatment options are vital considering the extent and intractability of these disorders. … This finding of underarousal correlates with low amplitude in EEG beta frequencies found in this population.

Human EEG gamma oscillations in neuropsychiatric disorders
Clinical Neurophysiology, Volume 116, Issue 12, Pages 2719-2733 C.Herrmann, T.Demiralp
Abstract
Due to their small amplitude, the importance of high-frequency EEG oscillations with respect to cognitive functions and disorders is often underestimated as compared to slower oscillations. This article reviews the literature on the alterations of gamma oscillations (about 30–80Hz) during the course of neuropsychiatric disorders and relates them to a model for the functional role of these oscillations for memory matching. The synchronous firing of neurons in the gamma- band has been proposed to bind multiple features of an object, which are coded in a distributed manner in the brain, and is modulated by cognitive processes such as attention and memory. In certain neuropsychiatric disorders the gamma activity shows significant changes. In schizophrenic patients, negative symptoms correlate with a decrease of gamma responses, whereas a significant increase in gamma amplitudes is observed during positive symptoms such as hallucinations. A reduction is also observed in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), whereas an increase is found in epileptic patients, probably reflecting both cortical excitation and perceptual distortions such as déjà vu phenomena frequently observed in epilepsy. ADHD patients also exhibit increased gamma amplitudes. A hypothesis of a gamma axis of these disorders mainly based on the significance of gamma oscillations for memory matching is formulated.

Abstract
This article presents a review of work that my colleagues and I have been doing during the past 15
years developing a rationale for the diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and treatment of ADHD employing EEG biofeedback techniques. The article first briefly reviews the history of research and theory for understanding ADHD and then deals with the development of EEG and event-related potential (ERP) assessment paradigms and treatment protocols for this disorder, including our work and that of others who have replicated our results. Illustrative material from our current research and child case studies is included. Suggestions for future experimental and clinical work in this area are presented and theoretical issues involving the understanding of the neurophysiological and neurological basis of ADHD are discussed.

Clinical Study No. 2 – VARHOPE Improvements in a Clinical Setting
By Jonathan Sargent
ABSTRACT
We are made up of atoms that are mostly electrons and protons. The outer electrons of any atom or molecule never touch. The outer electrons of any atom or molecule never touch another set of electrons. The entire interaction is through electro-magnetic-static, quantic, or other interactive fields.
There is Electrical energy in the human body. The most simple factors of anything electrical are the volts amps and resistance. This makes up Ohms law of electronics, where Volts = Amps times Resistance. This is a correlation not an exact law. Oscillations of the volts and amps give us the frequency of a current. Fluctuations of these calculations can be used in virtual or mathematical ways to calculate other biological factors. There are norms of the body electric variables relative to age and lifestyle.
Thus the key Bio-electric factors of Volts Amps Resistance Hydration Oxidation and Proton versus Electron charge stability are measurable with the SCIO. Then device then using a cybernetic biofeedback loop can help to stabilize the VARHOPE of a client.
In thus study we assay the VARHOPE scores of several clients. In all cases there is a significant improvement in the bio-electric after a simple SCIO therapist lead session.
This study shows three cases and an overview of one hundred cases.
The patient
A student coming through the beginner program brought this client to me. The student was living two hours north of the patient and was not comfortable working with his situation. the patient was diagnosed with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in late 2004. When the patient came to me, it was mid March and he was exhibiting and feeling many symptoms.
The symptoms were ranging from skin lesions, skin discolouration, yellow eyes, and chronic fatigue. the patient was taking an AIDS (Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) prescription drug, prescribed by his doctor, as well as seeing a nutritionist and having colonic sessions, 1-2 times a week. He was not feeling any results and felt that he was on his death bed. He was therefore in a fragile emotional state, which needed to be balanced immediately.
As we were talking and unraveling the deep emotional core issues, the patient made a decision that his mother’s lack of love for him was the strongest negative resonance. He believed that the tension was created due to his choice in sexual orientation and belief.
On February, 23rd 2006 the patient’s HIV count was 327,021 copies/mL. (data collected by his doctor).

Case
With this particular client it was a life and death situation right from the beginning. the patient’s digestive system was compromised due to years of unhealthy eating, without the use of digestive enzymes. On our first session together, we helped each other to balance the emotional issues and help to build the immune system. Through stress management and organ stimulation, we worked with the lymphatic system, adenoids, appendix, tonsils, thymus, liver and spleen. These organs were gently stimulated through biofeedback therapy and the spiritual healing was balanced. NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) techniques were used to work with guilt and self esteem issues and in addition, I added Auto zaps for AIDS and “feel good”. I told the patient that if I were in his situation I would take a “detox bath”, containing baking soda, Epsom salts,
and hydrogen peroxide 3%, to help detox the skin. After a bath I would take a shower and rub my skin with coconut oil, to help bring back the moisture and oils to my skin.
He saw the benefit this would have for him. the patient mentioned that he was getting colonics done 1-2 times a week, but I noticed that he was neglecting to replace to vital digestive enzymes (probiotics) that his body was desperately searching for, this information was concluded from the extreme mal absorption issues appearing on the device. From the beginning of his first session it was clear there was an issue with blood, environmental, immune, inflammation, liver, and fungus.
It was determined at that time that we would have a 2 hour session once a week and if there was a concern of any kind, he could call and be seen right away. What I noticed after the first session with the patient is that his skin colour returned and he had a look in his eye of confidence, as if he found his path to wellness.
Continuing
the patient returned once a week for 7 months. Over this time we worked through the layers of stressors on the body and helped supply the proper nutrients needed. I had the patient bring several types of supplements from his nutritionist and checked the resonance according to his meridian flow and reaction. It was not long after the first session that the patient’s skin began to clear up and he could return to work. His digestion and bowel movements improved greatly. This was a great relief to him, for the goal seemed to be in sight! As we proceeded through the process
his body was now ready to start detoxing. At first I told him in this situation, I would do a lymphatic cleanse for 2 weeks, and then begin a liver cleanse that was supplied from a Hulda Clark website. Over 100 stones were released within his stool and lots of internal bowel congestion, that was blocking his main detox outlet.
Throughout this entire time I noticed that his VARHOPE scores were improving greatly per session, with the odd slip. The more we worked together the longer the varhopes would stay in tune. This whole process was very exciting for both of us, since at the outset of our meeting he had been sent home by his doctor to die. This alone was a traumatic event. It was a coaching and confidence building conversation, which was critical throughout the entire process.
Since I am not a doctor, I was strongly recommending that he see his doctor for check ups and routine blood checks. During this time his doctor would “forget to get his blood test done” and would not disclose his information. We couldent figure it out. Then the patient became angered by this and demanded that another blood test be taken and reported to him immediately. This alone was a feat of emotional confidence that was not the same the patient I first met, frail and scared of the unknown and what the future held. Two weeks passed and the patient arives in my office with a giant smile on his face. I ask him what he was so happy about. He handed me his blood test, not only from the recent blood test but also the “lost” blood results.
It read:
HIV count –
• 327,021 copies/mL, T-cell count 30 February, 2006
• 200,000 copies/mL, T-cell count 120 May, 2006
• 70,000 copies/mL, T-cell count 449 July, 2006
This was a very exciting time for both of us since the marker for HIV activity is 50,000. It meant that we have almost reached our goal! We then continued throughout the next couple months with more biofeedback sessions.
Review
In reviewing this case I feel very confident in the direction of the therapy sessions. Other than the minor set backs, which is natural in the healing process. The body needs time to heal and to detox as well. Over the 7 months that I was working with the patient, I saw a great improvement in his spiritual, physical and emotional state. This was a great joy to see that we can help with such a fatal dis-ease.
I watch as his confidence and feeling of self worth improved. This was a very good thing, since now he was able to enjoy life to the fullest. I am looking forward to seeing the patient again in the future and see if there is any decline in overall state.
My advice to all new practitioners coming into the field of biofeedback is that we must listen to the body and not the “standard protocols”. In my experience it is relevant that balancing the person instead of the dis-ease. This alone causes for less therapy sessions and more productive results. We must understand that every individual is different and special in there own way and it would be unfair to treat every person the same as the last.
76 77
Our job and duty as biofeedback therapist is to assist the body in balancing stressors, in turn making it easier for the body to heal its self. We make suggestions of lifestyle changes and coach them through their emotional issues, so that they can make their own decisions. I find it much easier to work with clients when you have them create their own conclusions and help them to learn about themselves on an even deeper level. We need to educate, so that when our clients leave us, they are able to maintain a state of health and not fall back into their previous lifestyle that brought them to us.

The patient
This particular client was sent by a past client that found very good results working with me and the system. The patient was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 74.
He had decided that chemo therapy and radiation were not the answer for him. Over the course of five months we only saw the patient five times. This is not a lot of sessions, but this was the only time that the patient could fit into his very busy schedule.
the patient was very hard to communicate with due to his small understanding of the English language. He was always accompanied by his daughter, who translated everything in to his native tongue. (Italian)
Demographics
• Born – 1931
• Male, Diagnosed with lung cancer
• Six different Prescription drugs

Case
As I looked into the patient’s case, it was prevalent that virus, fungus and parasite activity was high within his body. One of the first things I noticed with the patient besides the large amount of pathogens present, was his Ph levels were acidic. Making it a perfect home for all pathogens to mutate and duplicate. These pathogens were highly concentrated within the lungs and bowels of the client. This is also where he was diagnosed with cancer. Was it possible the parasites were mistaken for tumors? Very possible, I then decided to work with this concern because cancer was not in high levels, compared to pathogen activity.
the patient’s organs were also highly under stress due to his age and lack of previous care to his body. Degeneration was present, and he had a high reactance speed. His high reactance speed was telling me that his body did not recognize the pathogens as a threat; another good sign there was a possible wrong diagnoses.
Continuing
Over the five months that I saw the patient I worked with what his body needed for that day, balancing all stresses one by one. In turn this would allow his body to heal itself much quicker, and understand what was happening. The sessions were also mostly centered around Rife therapy and zapping for pathogens.
Since there were a lot of emotional issues coming to the surface, it was clear that there were some things that need to be balanced within the NLP program as well. It was very exciting to see as the weeks and months pass, the patient responding very well and balanced on all levels.
Near the end of month five the patient went missing. I didn’t hear from him for at least three
(3) to four (4) weeks. It was making me worried, I decided to call his daughter and see what was happening. I was hoping for the best.
The answer was, “we didn’t tell you?” my father went to get some radiation done and before the treatment they did another MRI scan. The “cancer” was gone! Gone!
Review
To sum it all up, the patient was pleased with the sessions he received. It was amazing to see the traumatic things that were told to this particular client from his medical doctor without the proper research being gathered. Maybe if the medical world would be more accepting of biofeedback we could put an end to this “medicate or operate” system.
With a few lifestyle changes and a coaching process to deal with unspoken emotions, the results are amazing a significant. This technology of biofeedback is truly a leap towards a more productive medical system.
A few weeks after seeing the patient last, I decided to call his daughter. She had a tear in her eye and a frog in her throat. Her father went to the hospital for radiation. Before they perform the treatment it is standard protocol to administer another MRI, to find… THE TUMOR WAS GONE! How exciting is that! I was very impressed. Another person helped from biofeedback.

The patient
The patient was recommended to me by his brother. His bother found us on the internet. The patient had been diagnosed with Parkinson disease. He had experienced troubles with gambling and money management due to the side effects from the medications that he was currently taking and he had “the shakes”.
When I first met the patient, he was in a very negative state. He could not hold still. Kicking and hand twitches were common. He was on three (3) different medications and was emotionally stressed. the patient is a retired hardware store owner, and had work very hard with several highly toxic chemicals on a regular basis.

Case
The patient had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s when I first met him. Sent to me by his brother, the patient did not know what to expect on his first visit. His thoughts were scattered and his emotions were high.
I did my best to guide the patient through the initial process in explaining what biofeedback was and how it works. the patient seemed to catch on quickly, and he was ready to try it out.
There was a high amount of heavy metals present, which told me that the nerves would be damaged and the myelin sheath would be gone for the most part. Chemical toxins were also high with in his blood. On the first session I always like to go through what the body is trying to say, nutrition, spinal, NLP, nelson report, all charts and patient super conscious reduction. This gives me a good idea of what is causing the most stress within the body and what the body is ready to deal with first.
Once I had my information it was very easy to find the path to wellness and the thread to dis-ease. With the patient it was all about the toxins running everywhere in his body. The homotoxicology screen was filled with red and endless supplies of toxins were present.
Continuing
With this information I asked the patient how often his bowels movements were and if there was any pain. Once I had that information it was evident that his bowels needed to be detoxed before any toxins were released.
Most sessions were centered on detoxing the body, repairing the nerves and bringing back mental clarity, although every session was different then the last. After our first session with the patient, he held out his hands. Which were not shaking! He then said “I haven’t been able to do this in 20 years”! I was amazed.
With more talking and coaching it was obvious the 30 years of working with toxic materials was the cause of his diagnosis of Parkinson’s. And the side effects of his medications were the cause of his gambling addiction. Working with his doctor, the patient was able to come completely off his medications and the nutrition profile allowed the patient to have a nutritious lifestyle. Increasing the amount of water in his diet and using a cilantro pesto for heavy metal detox was essential to the patient regaining health and reversing the aging process.
funny, and loving husband and brother. the patient was truly blessed to have come in contact with biofeedback and to receive the results he did.
The patient is currently living out his retirement as he should, playing golf, laughing lots and loving life even more. His self confidence has returned and his gambling has stopped.
Review
In conclusion I would like to say that over 6 months and 11 sessions that the patient had we reached our goal! the patient was able to return back to the things he loved most. His sense of humor was back and he was able to play golf again with his brother. It was amazing to see the patient start as an individual sent home by his doctor to be a vegetable, into a strong willed,

Discussion
The SCIO measures global electrical measures of the body. When there are abnormal measures of the electro-physiological factors, the device allows a feedback loop between the Central Nervous System (CNS) of the patient and the device. We have seen hundreds of clients in our Clinic. this report shows 3 cases intimately. But in the other cases there is almost always some improvement in the VARHOPE indices are even one therapy. Of our clients visits, some 50 plus % show very low electro-physiological factors, some all below 30% normal. The cybernetic electro-physiological feedback loop is used to help the client reduce stress and thus improve the electro-physiological factors. There was improvement in over 95% of the electro-physiological measures at the end of the session (post test) versus the pre test. The average improvement in electro-physiological VARHOPE factors is 5% per session. These clients report stress reduction and improved well being as well.
Norms of patient voltage, amperage, resistance, capacitance, inductance, reactance, impedance, and proton electron balance, have all been established.
When we intake air and breathe we oxidate. This produces a shift up and down of our amperage. Oxidation is measured as the average shift in amperage ove a messured set of time. Hydration is the shift of voltage over a set of time.
Proton pressure versus electron pressure is the measure of which is more plentiful in the body. Excess protons means an acid condition, excess electrons means alkainity. By measureing the electrical imbalance from the various electrodes of the SCIO we can measure the proton versu electron pressure. A balance form is reported at 70 where there are equal numbers of electrons and protons. Below 70 is excess protons, above excess electrons. A variation of the ph scale.
The SCIO software will allow the Central Nervous System (CNS) of the patient to guide to stabilize electrical and vibrational divergence in your body. This is the cybernetic loop or biofeedback component of the system.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the safety and effective qualities of the SCIO device used in a large scale study. A large scale study of over 97,000 patients with over 320,000 patient visits reported their diseases. The SCIO measures global electrical measures of the body. When there are abnormal measures of the electro-physiological factors, the device allows a feedback loop between the Central Nervous System (CNS) of the patient and the device. Of the patient visits listed some 50 plus % showed very low electro-physiological factors, below 30% normal. The cybernetic electro- physiological feedback loop was then used to help the patient reduce stress and thus improve the electro-physiological factors. There was improvement in over 95% of the electro-physiological measures at the end of the session (post test) versus the pre test. The average improvement in electro-physiological VARHOPE factors is 5%. These patients reported stress reduction and improved well being as well.
Introduction
Overview
This Large scale research was designed to produce a extensive study of people with a wide variety of diseases to see who gets or feels better while using the SCIO for stress reduction and patient monitoring. The SCIOisabiofeedback Universal Electro-Physiological Medicalapparatus. Thedevice is registered in Europe, America, Canada, S Africa, Australia, S. America, Mexico and elsewhere. The traditional software is fully registered. Some additional functions where determined by the manufacturer to be worthy of evaluation. Thus a study was necessary to determine safety and efficacy. (As a result of these studies these additional functions are now registered within the EC)
An European ethics committee was officially registered and governmental permission attained to do the insignificant risk study. Qualified registered and or licensed Biofeedback therapists where enlisted to perform the study. Therapists were enrolled from all over the world including N. America, Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, and S. America. They were trained in the aspects of the study and how to attain informed consent and transmit the results to the ethics committee or IRB (Institutional Review Board).
2,569 therapists enlisted in the study. There were 98,760 patients. 69% had more than one visit. 43% had over two visits. There were over 320,000 patient visits recorded. The therapists were trained and supervised by medical staff. They were to perform the SCIO therapy and analysis. They were to report any medical suspected or confirmed diagnosis. Therapists personnel are not to diagnose outside of the realm of their scope of practice. Then the therapist is to inquire on any reported changes during the meeting and on follow-ups any measured variations. It must be pointed out that the Therapists were free to do any additional therapies they wish such as homeopathy, nutrition, exercise, etc. Therapists were told to not recommend synthetic drugs. Thus the evaluation was not reduced to just the device but to the total effect of seeing a SCIO therapist.
• Part 1. The emphasis was on substantiating safety followed by efficacy of the SCIO.
• Part 2. Proving the efficacy of the SCIO on normalizing the electro-physiological factors
Methods and Materials:
SCIO Device:
The SCIO is an evoked potential Universal Electro-Physiological Medical device that measures how a person reacts to items. It is designed to measure electro-physiological factors. Biofeedback is used for stress reduction and muscular re-education.
The SCIO measure global electrical measures of the body. Norms of measurement can only be assayed on an individual piece of equipment. The nature of the electrodes, the size or surface area of measurement, age and personal demographics, the reading mechanism etc. The SCIO has been registered in many countries and has been legally sold for over two decades. After thousands of patients tested with this device in the late 1980s, norms of the electrical parameters have been set. Norms of patient voltage, amperage, resistance, capacitance, inductance, reactance, impedance, and proton electron balance, have all been established.
When we intake air and breathe we oxidate. This produces a shift up and down of our amperage.
106 107
Oxidation is measured as the average shift in amperage ove a messured set of time. Hydration is the shift of voltage over a set of time.
Proton pressure versus electron pressure is the measure of which is more plentiful in the body. Excess protons means an acid condition, excess electrons means alkainity. By measureing the electrical imbalance from the various electrodes of the SCIO we can measure the proton versu electron pressure. A balance form is reported at 70 where there are equal numbers of electrons and protons. Below 70 is excess protons, above excess electrons. A variation of the ph scale.
The SCIO software will allow the Central Nervous System (CNS) of the patient to guide to stabilize electrical and vibrational divergence in your body. This is the cybernetic loop or biofeedback component of the system. For complete functional details and pictures, see appendix.
Basic Software Design:
The SCIO software is designed for electro-physiological connection to the patient to allow electro- physiological and rectification of subtle aberrance of the body electric. The feedback loop is established by measuring the electro-physiological factors, feeding them back to the CNS and re-measuring the changes, feeding them back to the CNS, and on and on till a satisfied result is attained for the day.
VARHOPE Scores
As previously described, there are norms set for the Body electro-physiological measures. Since these measure are reletive to age, sex, and other demographics, a percentage of the norm is used on the report. There is a degree of inacuracy as well. norms are reported loosely as above 80%. In this series of tests when the percentages of the global VARHOPE are all below 30%, the device patient records were used to report the post test or after therapy results.
SOC Index (Library Function stressor questionnaire):
The SCIO interview opens with a behavioral medicine interview. This is called the SOC Index. Named after the work of Samuel Hahneman the father of homeopathy, he said that the body heals itself with it’s innate knowledge. But the patient can suppress or obstruct the healing process with some behavior. Hahneman said that the worst way to interfere with the healing natural process was allopathy or synthetic drugs. Theses upset the natural healing process by unnatural intervention and regulation disturbance. Other ways to Suppress or Obstruct the Cure are smoking, mercury amalgams, stress, lack of water, exercise and many others. This behavioral survey then gives an index of SOC.
The scores relate to the risk of Suppression and Obstruction to the natural Cure. The higher the scores the more the Suppression and or Obstruction. The scores of 100 or lower are ideal. A copy of the SOC index questions appear in the appendix.
Study Technicians :
The study technicians were educated and supervised by medical officers. The study technicians were to execute the SCIO therapy and analysis. All were trained to the standards of the International Medical University of Natural Education. Therapists from all over the world including N. America, Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, S. America and elsewhere were enlisted to perform the study according to the 1951 Helsinki study ethics regulations, since modified several times.
They were to chronicle any medical suspected or confirmed diagnosis. Therapists personnel are not to diagnose outside of the realm of their scope of practice. Then the study technician is to inquire on any disclosed observations during the test and on follow-ups report any measured changes.
To test the device as subspace against the placebo effect, two of the 2,500+ therapists were given placebo SCIO devices that were totally outwardly the same but were not functional. These two blind therapists were then assigned 35 patients each (only 63 showed). This was to assess the double blind factor of the placebo effect as compared to the device. Thus the studied groups were
A. Placebo group, and B SCIO group.
Cross placebo group manipulation was used to further evaluate the effect.
Important Questions : these are the key questions of the study
- Define Diseases or Patient Concerns
- Percentage of Improvement in Symptoms
- Percentage of Improvement in Feeling Better
- Percentage of Improvement Measured
- Percentage of Improvement in Stress Reduction
- Percentage of Improvement in SOC Behavior
- What Measured+How (relevant measures to the patient’s health situation)
- If Patient worsened please describe in detail involving SOC_
After the patient visit is was complete the data was e-mailed to the Ethics Committee or IRB for storage and then analysis. This maneuver minimized the risk of data loss or tampering. Case studies were reported separately in the disease analysis.
Results:
Before we review the direct disease improvement profiles, we need to review the overall results. The first most basic of question in the results is the basic feedback of the generic patient conditions. - Percentage of Improvement in Symptoms
- Percentage of Improvement in Feeling Better
- Percentage of Improvement Measured
- Percentage of Improvement in Stress Reduction
- Percentage of Improvement in SOC Behavior
The SOC index gives us great insight to this study. Each disease has a different cut off where the ability of the SCIO to help was compromised. As a general index scores of 200 + where much less successful.

Discussion
The results show significant improvement in symptoms and feeling better. The Collective results show a dramatic benefit to the SCIO therapist visit.
The Electro-physiological factors were slightly improved during the SCIO therapy. This is reported by most of our therapists. The Cybernetic Feedback loop of the SCIO to the CNS seems to be helpful in stabilizing the VARHOPE.
There is much more to the body electric than resistance. It is impossible to measure a frequency with a resistance device such as the Listen, Voll, Vega or other simple resistance devices. This makes for a very complicated fractal system that can be difficult to analyse. With a computer a vast amount of electrical data can be collected and analysed. This can then allow for the beginning of a true energetic medicine. Below is a abreviated list of electrical variables and thier coresponding components that our SCIO can analyse in the short space of minutes in a clinical setting. The time of ionic exchange is approximately one hundredths of a sec. Thus it would be impossible for a person who wants to test a patient with a manual device.
*articles in Promorpheus
As we pointed out in the Promorpheus, electricity as an electrical entity travels in the direction of, for example, your right thumb. Then for conduction of the electron, there is a magnetic field produced at 90°, and a static field will be produced at another 90°. This electromagnetic and electrostatic combination and its effect on conductance and from conductance is the basis for understanding electrical phenomena.
The factors of the electtrolyte in the body greatly effect the electrical nature of the body. The amout of minerals, liquids, oxygen, amino acids, fatty acids and others effect the nature of the electrolyte. So our total energetic medicine (beyond simple resistance variables) can offer us great insights into many facotrs of health. Since so much of energetic medicine is fixated in one channel resistance point probetechniques it is time for a quantum leap in the technology. In this article we will outline some basic aspects of energetic medicine for electroencephalographs electrocardiology and energetic medicine.
This article will outline the electron and its action. The photon link is outlined in the Promorpheus.
French physicist Coulomb laid out a law, which states: „The force of attraction or repulsion between two charged bodies is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely
110 111
proportional to the square of the distance between them.”
Thus the force can be allowed in the following equation
F ~=~ {Q sub 1 ~TIMES~ Q sub 2} over D sup 2
The inverse square law is a dictum of four-dimensional physics. Our ten-dimensional model questions its pervasiveness.
Here Q represents the force of the charges, D is the distance, and F is the force in dynes. A coulomb of charge, C, is nearly 3 times 109 esu. The strength of an electrical field will have the equation
E ~=~ {9 ~TIMES~ 10 sup 9 ~TIMES~ q} over {R sup 2}
This is called the electrical potential. The potential at a point is equal to the work needed to bring one coulomb charge to the point from an infinite distance away. Biology will need to monitor this effect very closely.
An electric potential is thus work per unit of charge. Kinetic energy, which is equivalent to work, is measured in a relationship of force to distance. A gram that is moved at one centimeter per second of velocity is an erg. A kilogram that is moved at one meter per second is known as a joule. When we have a joule per coulomb, this is known as a volt. One volt equals one joule divided by one coulomb. The volt is often a measure of potential energy. It is the difference between two points, between positive and negative charge; thus a six-volt battery with a potential difference of 6 joules or coulombs that can flow from one terminal to the other. Potential difference, thus, is an integral measurement of profound importance in biology and medicine.
If the surface of an item has a charge that is stored as potential energy, the ratio of charge to potential is called the capacitance of the body. The basic unit of capacitance is known as the farad, which is one coulomb per volt. If one coulomb of charge added to a body gives it potential of one volt, it has the capacitance of one farad. In a capacitor current is proportional to the rate of change of voltage.
Thus capacitance can be measured as a fluctuation in voltage (DV) over a qualitative time.
1~ Farad~ =~ {1~ Coulomb} over {1~ Volt}~~ BOLD {Capacitance~ {dV} over {dT} ~=~ Amps}
The farad is a very large unit, measuring a lot of potential. Often in electronics we use micro- farads, or even pico-farads; a micro-farad being 10-6 farads and a pico-farad being
10-12 farads. By having two sheets of a high conductor, such as metal, with an insulating material between them, we can produce a condenser or capacitor. In biology cellular forces will invoke pico-farads. Organismic forces must relate to and control micro-farads.
The capacitance of the capacitor is the amount of the electrical charge on its plate divided by the potential difference between its plates. This depends on several factors, such as the area of the plates. If the plates are made larger, greater charge can be put on them. The thickness of the insulating layer is important. The closer the plates are to one another, the greater the amount of charge that is held. It is the strength of the electric fields of the electric plates as they are brought closer together. In biology organs, cells, organ systems, and organisms must store charge to deal with metabolism and growth.
The material between the plates will have an influence on the capacitor. These insulators, or non-
113
conductors between the plates, are also known as dielectrics. Biology is filled with membranes that act as storage entities. We have only to review neuronal axon transfer to see biocapacitance at work.
The dielectric constant of an insulating material is a relationship between the effect of the material and that of a vacuum between the plates. The dielectric constant of water is 80; the dielectric constant of air is 1.001, as compared to a vacuum. The dielectric constant of rubber is 2.5.
Water has such an enormous dielectric constant because the water molecule is already polarized, even if it is not in an electric field. One end of the water molecule is positive and the other negative, because of the dipole magnetic effect. Biology uses this concept of water to store and use energy. The molecules can now rotate easily in the liquid state, and in response to the electric forces on them can readily produce strong layers of induced charge on its surfaces. Capacitance action is of extreme importance to biology.
When we move one coulomb of charge per second, this is known as an ampere. An amp is movement or quantity of charge. Movement of charge, amps, is the most important criteria of biology. This correlates to life force and indolamine production.
1~ Amp ~=~ 1~ Coulomb~ per~ second # phantom x #
Volts ~=~ Inductance~ @~ {d~ Amps} over {d~ Time} # phantom x #
Amps~ =~ Capacitance~ @~ {d~ Volts} over {d~ Time}
Dr. Ohm, a German physicist, found that electric current in a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between its ends. Thus he generated Ohm’s law, finding that the resistance of one ohm is generated in a conductor if the potential difference of one volt between its ends will cause a current of one ampere to flow through it. Thus we have generated and found Ohm’s law, which is
Amperes~ =~ Volts~ DIV~ Ohms # phantom x #
\or~ Volts~ =~ Amps~ TIMES~ Resistance
Ohm’s law is not strictly adhered to in electrolytes, discharge of gasses, and semiconductors; nor is it followed perfectly applicable to biology, for there are many different factors that can affect it. Changing potentials over time causes an instability in Ohm’s law for biology. But in knowing an electrical system we must know the amperage, the voltage, and the resistance in order to be able to calculate variables more accurately. Ohm’s law, when involved in quantic systems, is not precise, but still shows the tendencies of electromotive force. For biology Ohm’s law offers an invaluable systemic measuring system for easy bio force analysis.
Now let us look at some of the basic components and relationships of magnetic fields.
When strongly polarized molecules align, they induce stronger and stronger magnetic poles. An electric current flowing through a wire will also generate a magnetic field of 90 (right-hand rule). The strength of the magnetic field created by a current is directly proportional to the strength
of the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. The formula for this will show that
Magnetic~ Fields~ left ( {Amp} over {2 pi d} right )
Thus a magnetic field strength can be measured in units of amperes per meter. Inductance is the factor measured for biological significance. Magnetic and paramagnetic forces can have strong implications in the long- and short-range forces of biology (see PROMORPHEUS).
A magnet near a stationary electric charge will not have an effect on it. If there is movement, then they have a natural influence on each other. Biology will need to be dynamic, and move constantly to use magnetic properties. The force of this influence is at right angles to both the velocity of the charge and the direction of the field. Stagnation is a magnet’s enemy.
The magnitude of this force is
Force = Charge in Coulombs x Velocity in meters per second and Magnetic Force of Amperes per meter x the Permeability Factor through which the Magnetic Field permeates.
This permeability factor times the magnetic factor, which is amperes per meter, is known as the magnetic flux density, or the magnetic induction, and is expressed in Webers per square meter. In an inductor the voltage is proportional to the rate of change in the current.
Inductance~ TIMES~ {d~ Amps} over {d~ Time}~ =~ Volts # phantom x #
1~ Henry~ =~ 1~ Volt/~ (1~ Amp/1~ Sec) ~=~ 1~ Volt~ Second/Amp
These permeability factors are rated between that of the material and that of permeability of a vacuum. Materials that are high-ratio (that increase the flux density) are called ferro-magnetic; such as iron, cobalt, and nickel. Substances that are close to the ratio of 1, or other substances (which are very near to the relationship of the vacuum) are para-magnetic, and will contribute weakly, such as aluminum. There are substances like bismuth that are actually detrimental to the magnetic field. These are called diamagnetic, and their ratio is actually less than 1. Items which are non-magnetic will have no influence, and thus have a ratio of 1. Bismuth will have a place in biology, and is used in several homeopathics for energetic stability. Magnetic induction can be measured by changes in amperage over a qualitative analysis, such as the QXCI* machine test. This might be used to infer magnetic interaction, and thus, involvement of geopathic stress.
Thus we have outlined the concept of magnetic, static, and conductive forces, which are used to our understanding of the electrical nature of our homeopathic pharmaceuticals. By measuring the inductance, the dielectric constant and the conductance relationship, we can find an electrical profile for these various substances. This makes up an electrical fingerprint that allows us to calculate and plot its electrical nature. The trivector analysis is born. The long-range implications on energetic medicine are profound.
By charting the resistance, inductance, and dielectric constant of various homeopathic items we can get a trivector analysis of their electromagnetic fields. This trivector analysis gives us three vectors, which we will be able to apply to a three-dimensional space. Thus a variety of homeopathics have been analyzed for their trivector analysis. The dimension of time gives us a
114 115
four-dimensional relation that with some superb mathematics we can extrapolate the six virtual dimensions using a trinary logic system.**
Here we can see some of the effects that sarcodes, nosodes, allersodes and classic herbals have in their relationship to each other. This trivector analysis gives us a quality control factor for the electric field of a homeopathic item. In analyzing patients we can analyze serum in blood or personal field in a similar fashion. We can measure body pH from urine, blood, breath, etc., as well as redox capacity and body fluid resistance. Skin resistance readings can be taken at several points and easily averaged. Body voltage can be easily measured by dissimilar metals creating potential across the electrolyte capacity of the body, just as in a battery. Most proficient instruments choose to use silver and zinc (zinc because of its equi-potential for giving or receiving electrons, silver because of its great medicine history). Amperage is a correlate of voltage and resistance by placing similar metals in contact with the body (two silver probes contacting the frontal eminences). We can get an amperage reading. For our device Carbon electrodes where chosen for their ability to accept and donate electrons. Capacitance is measured by changes in voltage during a scheduled interview. Inductance can be calculated through changes in amperage over the same interview. Resonant frequencies of the body can be calculated from the equation
Resonance~ Freq.~ =~ 10 sup 6 over sqrt {1~ -~ (` (\CAP) sup 2 ~+~ (IND) sup 2)}
From these readings we can now calculate a true metabolism chart to define a patient’s overall health and energetic well-being. .
The preliminary work has shown that where patients have valleys, or dips, in their fields, homeopathic peaks will be helpful. Work on this is just starting; more work, funding and time will be needed before we can find out if this is a viable technique for quality control and/or for homeopathic utilization. Now, with the help of the computer, matching remedies is high-tech and easy.
Another factor that we can use with this trivector analysis is that once we know the first three vectors, and the vector of time, we might be able to extrapolate the other six virtual dimensions. If we know the four factors of conductance, capacitance, inductance and time, we might be able to extrapolate other dimensional effects from this four-dimensional type of field.
Biology needs to not only look into quantum physics but also needs to embrace an energetic philosophy as well. This seems complicated at first, but is easy with today’s tools. Applying our right-hand rule and Ohm’s Law to energetic medicine represents a dramatic quantum leap in energetic medicine which is significant to the field.

Electrical Measures of the Body
Introduction
Edited by Prof Desié Dubounet
There is other forces such as the large atom force that when the extreme energy in a sun forces protons to overcome their need to repel and forces them together. Thus all atoms past hydrogen are made in the stars. Gravity is the force that when matter is made all matter is drawn together. This is a weak force, as Newton once said ―it takes a group of matter the size of the earth to make a liter of water weigh a kilo .
There is another weak force that is undeniable, the power of the mind. We know from Quantum theory that twin photons can be separated to any distance and when we tell one photon something the other twin knows it instantly. At the birth of the universe there was a big bang where all of the matter of the universe came through a singularity in ten to the minus 43 of a sec. Thus at one point in our past history all things were conjoined and as such there is an ability of a quantic system to influence another.
The observer effect of physics, the need for a double blind in medicine, and other evidence in the Proof movie. REF. There is not a law of Attraction as some have said but there is an effect of Attraction. There is a power of the mind (a known Quantic engine) to influence another Quantic system. Science has for a long time laughed at this and has purposefully avoided the proof of this true effect. And now science has become a search for funding not a search for truth. And since humiliation might interfere with funding most scientist still ignore the evidence. This is the height of ignorance to ignore.
So with some simple science taught in our schools let us analyze the development of biology. First our fifth grade science tells us we are mostly electro-magnetic-static and Quantic fields. Non- living things mostly obey the laws of thermodynamics. The laws of thermodynamics teach us that energy can not be created or destroyed, and that heat must flow from a hot body to a cold body.
Basic Science
In 5th grade we are all taught a basic scientific fact, we are made of atoms. All things are made of atoms. Atoms are made of electrons, protons, neutrons, and other much less numerous subatomic particles. The electrons and protons make up by far most of things and thus most of our bodies. The electrons and protons are electrically charged. The electrons are so highly charged that they never touch but instead repel when they approach another. The electrons, protons, and neutrons are very small and they are held apart from each other by fields. If we condense the solid matter of the electrons, protons and neutrons together the human body would be so small it would take a microscope to see it. If the proton is the size of a golf ball, the electron is smaller than the size of the point of a pin and it is over a mile away. Between the electron and proton thus is electro-magnetic- static fields, held by Quantic forces. So our bodies are more than 99.99999999999999999999999 fields empty of matter. These Quantic electro-magnetic-static fields are what we are. This is 5th grade science, maybe not the science taught in Seattle.
No one has yet to see the true nature of our existence. No one can see the electrons, protons, or the fields they make. So we are only able to see a macro form of it. Our brains are trapped inside our skull and thus we cannot directly perceive anything. We are thus stuck with an indirect perception. A perception that comes thru the brain and is effected by our brain state. We project our own feelings, memories, psychic mental states onto our perceptions. It is difficult not to. So as humans developed we have made many assumptions of how the universe works, what is the nature of our bodies and lives, and our belief in a power greater than our own. And with a sense of history and knowing that we must project, and twist ideas, we should always be humble and recognize that we can never know. We are stuck making good guesses, better and better guesses, but always guesses. This book is about making a better guess. (REF Perception book 1 + 2)
In 9th grade we are taught about light. Light is made of photons. Photons are electro-magnetic radiation, particles in wave formations that can transfer energy. Quantum Electro-Dynamics QED tells us of how when a electron absorbs a photon the electron goes to a higher quantum energy state. When the electron releases a photon it goes to a lower state. QED tells us of virtual photons and just how all electron, proton, neutron movement is connected to the photon.
Voltammetry is the science of understanding how a substance’s electro-magnetic field reacts with it’s environment. A hormone has electrons and protons and how they are placed in a 3 dimensional space will determine how it exchanges electron-magnetic action and this is measured by measuring the 3 dimensional effect of it voltammetric field. The amount of charged particles is the amperage, the pressure or potential of the charged particles is the volts. Basic 7th grade physics. Every compound having it’s own individual and distinct voltammetric signature field. REF Voltammetry.

The Human Body Electric
There are over one hundred trillion cells in the human body and all are sending signals to the brain via enervation and photon exchange. Making some ten to the 16 bits of data per sec. Or less. 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits of data. The word area of the brain has developed as a small part of the human brain. About the size of a golf ball this small Broca area for words. Words coming in and words going out. The rest of the Brain is for life, metabolism and reproduction. Life is an unconscious process. Life is non-verbal. We do not have to think words to live. Words are for helping us function in social ways.
We have a reticular formation in the base of our brains that act as a filter to screen out unneeded data from our word area. The word area has the ability to assay about one million 1,000,000 bits of data at a time. More and the word area goes into overload. Below one thousand sensory bits and the system goes into sensory deprivation mode. It invents sensory data.
This means that ten to the sixteenth bits of data minus the ten to the 6 bits of data for the word area and the word are of the brain gets one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of the data sent to the brain. The unconscious non-verbal body electric gets all of this data and much more.
The hot coffee must succumb to the colder room and the two gradually equate their temperature.
Biological systems outwardly seem to disobey these laws by maintaining a temperature difference and not succumbing to the room temperature unless the die. Then as the Washington Post editor says, after death they lose their battle with room temperature. Biology is using a slightly different system of laws with a more quantic system than thermodynamic. REF PROMORPHEUS.
A living thing must be able to metabolize and reproduce in some fashion to be considered alive. Metabolism is taking in nutrients, taking the energy from them, and excreting the remainder as excretions of waste products. Reproduction is assembling new tissue for repair and also to propagate the species. The energy is Quantic electro-magnetic-static in nature as is everything. The basic energy of the electromagnetic radiation that is Visible light or Infrared heat. Plants take in low energy ionic bound minerals and use the energy of visible light to make high energy covalent bound plant compounds which are then food for the animals. This is the process of photosynthesis as shown in the Calvin Cycle.
Animals take in the high energy compounds with electrons in high energy states. This energy is then gleaned in the cells via the Krebs Cycle to make ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) for energy. ATP is the key energy of most life.
The single cell systems such as bacteria set up a boundary layer such as a cell membrane to separate the thermodynamic world from the quantic interior. Entropy and thermodynamics dictate process in the non-living exterior versus the Quantic organized non random entropy interior. Metabolism and reproduction guided by a organized accounting of energy intake and outgo. Geared for metabolism and reproduction. Quantic Electromagnetic fields in cyclic organized fashion that is mostly dependent on the Quantic actions of DNA. DNA can only be described in the Quantic electromagnetic actions of the fields of it voltammetric structure.
Single celled organisms develop or evolve if you will allow us to say into multi celled organisms. This needs more complex DNA structures and the number of chromosomes needed grows. DNA acts as the chief accountant as it sends off RNA and messenger RNA to accomplish the goals of life. Life develops with tremendous diversification over 100,000,000 organisms have evolved with various and diverse functions. But all are Quantic electromagnetic exchange devices taking in energy, excreting waste products, and trying to reproduce. Everything having it’s own set of field intricacies, and a single reactive ever changing overall field signature. The Quantic Electro- magnetic-static field of an organism is reacting towards nutrition and away from toxins. To maximize metabolism. It reacts to mating signals and reproductive gesticulations to maximize reproduction.
Everything is a wash of field interactions and electromagnetic radiation photons. The cells of biology use this electromagnetic radiation for communication. Information for reproduction or Mitogenic radiation is in the visible, metabolism radiation is in the Infrared. Biology does not just send heat out as a waste product it is a communication network for cellular info exchange.
The multi-celled organisms diversify and all have an innate non-verbal Quantic electro-magnetic drive for survival. Biology operates thru field interactions. The height of DNA diversification is presently the development of a word are of the brain. And are where we think in words. This allows for explicit communication and exchange of thoughts, feelings, desire, fears, etc.

individual style of electron and proton interaction. This is how every substance reacts to another, the outer electrons never touch but the field interaction as determined by voltammetry is a definition of how they work.
Every atom or molecule can be balanced, positive charge, negative charge, or combination of both. This depends on the amount of protons and electrons. This is Basic grade school science.
The charged particles that travel make a current flow. The amount of charged particles in the amperage, the pressure or potential of the flow is the voltage, the resistance to the flow is the resistance. All organisms use this electrical flow of charged particles for each and every biological process.
The electron is the smallest charged particle to move, and most of electricity is of the traveling electron. But protons and ions range from the small to very large.
The outer electrons of a plant are taken to higher energy states thru the QED phenomena known as photosynthesis. These electrons are most often stored in carbohydrates and natural sugars. The body use them for energy, making ATP from the electrons.
Energy transfer in the body takes place in many voltammetric ways. Water has free protons and free electrons and thus it is essential for life. Water does not conduct electricity, unless there are some mineral salts or electrolytes in the water. But as in the salt water the body has lots of water and electrolytes. Thus the body electric can thrive. REF
Fish like the shark swim and thus live in an electrolyte conductive medium. They develop electrical sensing systems, and can detect foods by their voltammetric signatures. In other land creatures like humans this electro sense is transferred to the skin and nose. But still voltammetric sensing of items are the basis for life.
We have the sense of sight for photon sensing, hearing for sound vibration detection, feeling for movement, pressure, heat, cold, balance, and the alkaline acid balance of chemicals. Smell and taste are voltammetric shape receptors sensors. (REF 2004 Nobel prize + electro sense). The largest gene family of our DNA is dedicated to the smell, over 3% in humans, 7% in some animals. All of our senses are electrical in action and transfer mechanism. Some of our sensory system is directed to our verbal or conscious mind and most to our non-verbal unconscious.
In the human body there is massive transfer of electrical signals. The flow of food entering the colon during digestion is based on static electrical attraction. Water facilitates the entire body electric. The body heat is photonic and also contributes to information transfer. If we look at the body human with today’s modern science of QED and electronic physics, a whole new science develops a world different than the synthetic drug and surgery medicine we have today. Today’s so called modern medicine is based on a 200 year old reductionism 17th century Newtonian antiquated physics. A true new modern medicine of the body electric opens the door to a more affordable, sophisticated, safer, and more efficient modern medicine. (REF Body Electric, Science over Convention)
There is resistance to the flow of electricity. Louis Ampere discovered amperage, Volta discovered Volts, and Dr. Ohm put a laws together to describe the relationship in terms of resistance. resistance is in Ohms and Ohms law states that voltage equals amperage times resistance. This is the first week of electronics class usually taught in 9th grade physics.
The spiritual cultures of the world know this and all exercises in spiritual development revolve around diminishing the words in the brain and coming aware more of the unconscious process. Mantras, meditation, stillness, yoga, kundalini, and many others all say we must control and diminish to effects of the verbal word mind to get in touch with our body energetic. The true self.
Much of the mistake of modern science and modern societies is to over value the words and the verbal process. Our society is presently over valuing the paper pushers and letting their need for words be more important than people. We need paper pushers and we need to have quality systems but there should be a requirement to try to minimize the over wordy and clarify the process of our society for everyone to understand not just the small minded paper pushers. This is especially true for biology and medicine.
The very process of life in an innate unconscious non-verbal Quantic electromagnet field interaction. Words have little to do with it. But so-called modern medicine has overvalued the words. They wait for the patient to verbally notice something is wrong, go to the doctor office and announce what is wrong, answer the doctors’ verbal questions, and receive verbal instruction. And yet this verbal exercise of medicine is only aware of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of one percent of the data. The body electric knows much more.
Patients words are influenced by their mood state. Patient’s all lie, at least that is what Dr. House tells us on TV. Patients sometimes say things they think the doctor wants to hear, they coverup things they don’t want the doctor to know and very often they are completely out of touch with their own feelings and symptoms. Once I asked a patient if they had regular bowel movements. She said of course once a week like clockwork. Words are often the only intervention given to a doctor. In ancient China the doctor was sometimes unable to see the patient if he was of royalty. So the Chinese doctors had to develop new skills. Words have been a hallmark of medicine but it is also one of the greatest limitations. You can be really sick and have no symptoms or any verbal awareness of your sickness. Many people have tended to not only over value words, but some assume falsely there is only words.
Now as we learned in 5th grade everything is made mostly of electrons and protons. Photons are involved in all exchange of energy states. Now in some materials the electrons are tightly bound and are unwilling to allow electron exchange. In concrete the atoms are bound tightly and the electrons are not very conductive. In a metal like copper the electrons are quite willing to allow electro energy exchange and transport of electrons. So copper is a good conductor.
The organization of atoms and electrons determines the nature of the substance. Atoms seek to have a balanced outer level of electrons as per quantum law. This is the nature of atoms and it is calculated in the Mendeleev table of elements. Atoms seek to find the balance of the noble elements.
This is the lesson from 10th grade chemistry. It is a simple lesson that tells us just how all atoms combine to make molecules. This lesson is based in Quantum theory. Those to say that quantum theory is not relevant to biology are expressing a rather concerning ignorance.
Molecules can be very very complex. But all of them are made of electrons, protons, neutrons etc held by Quantic forces. These molecules all have a structure of their outer electrons that can be assayed by the voltammetric signature. Voltammetry is the science of electrodes checking the
122 123
fractal stimulation and an auto-focusing self adjusting stimulation. The body electric treats itself beneath the human awareness of the limited word area of the brain. And thirdly a way to measure the trivector field of items and then to measure the reactance of a person. All technological achievements of Dr. Nelson and Dr. Nelson alone.
The body has a reactive trivector set of fields. An item not living has a stable unchanging field. So to measure the substances fields, and then the person’s reaction to these fields. A truly modern medicine is achieved, based on what we know of the body electric and basic high school physics.
The Factors of Electro-potential
What Are the Elements in the Human Body? Most of the human body is made up of water, H2O, with cells consisting of 65-90% water by weight. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that most of a human body’s mass is oxygen. Carbon, the basic unit for organic molecules, comes in second. 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of just six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. All other elements can be toxic or inert.
- Oxygen (65%) the heavy component of water
- Carbon (18%) the structure of all organic compounds and the key of fatty acids
- Hydrogen (10%) water and free protons
- Nitrogen (3%) air and amino acids
- Calcium (1.5%) bone, nerve and all membranes
- Phosphorus (1.0%) bone, nerve and all membranes
- Potassium (0.35%) intracellular
- Sulfur (0.25%) amino acids, good bacteria growth
- Sodium (0.15%) extracellular
- Magnesium (0.05%) regulatory for health
- Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Molybdenum, Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, Manganese, Cobalt, Iron (0.70%)
- Lithium, Strontium, Aluminum, Silicon, Lead, Vanadium, Arsenic, Bromine (trace amounts)
Life must keep Potassium inside the cell and Sodium outside of the cell. The natural thermodynamic balance is for them to gravitate to be equal. So potassium has a natural pull to go out and sodium to go into a cell. Because the concentration gradient for potassium is directed out of the cell, while the concentration gradient for sodium is directed into the cell, there is a need for a sodium pump to stabilize the life of the cell. This takes the energy of ATP to operate the sodium pump. The sodium-potassium pump transports 2 potassium ions inside and 3 sodium ions outside at the cost of 1 ATP molecule. There should be twice as much potassium as sodium in the healthy human body.
Membrane potentials are defined relative to the exterior of the cell; thus, a potential of −70 mV implies that the interior of the cell is negative charge relative to the exterior. Life is electrical.
As we have said there should be twice as much potassium as sodium in the healthy human body. But people like salt and producers put more salt into foods to sell and satisfy customers. Potassium
The right hand rule describes the fields around a flowing current. And it says that as a current flows like your outstretched right thumb, a magnetic field is made at 90 degrees like your out stretched forefinger, and a static field is made at 90 degrees like your outstretched middle finger. Thus the fields of electricity are described. This is the second week of electronics class usually taught in 10th grade physics.
So all electrical action or flow of electricity generates a three dimensional field, at least. So we called the process of measuring this field the trivector. This is a type of 3-dimensional voltammetry.
Voltammetry is the science of understanding how a substance’s electro-magnetic field reacts with it’s environment. A hormone has electrons and protons and how they are placed in a 3 dimensional space will determine how it exchanges electron-magnetic action and this is measured by measuring the 3 dimensional effect of it voltammetric field. The amount of charged particles is the amperage, the pressure or potential of the charged particles is the volts. Basic 7th grade physics. Every compound having it’s own individual and distinct voltammetric signature field. REF Votlammetry
Volts times amps is a power index or what is known as Watts. Once we measure simple variables we can easily calculate a great variety of electrical forces. We can thus calculate volts, amps, ohms, reactance, susceptance, watts, capacitance, inductance, impedance, and other virtual mathematical calculations.
Knowing that reductionism has filed as a way to analyze the human body we can make more global measures of these energies of a human, compare them to norms, and then using safe micro-current stimulation change them.
We can detect and affect the body electric is safe and effective ways. The SCIO system is designed and registered to do just this. To detect and affect, EEG, ECG, EMG, GSR, electro-osmosis, trauma tissue, wounds, pain, charge stability, acid alkaline balance, voltammetric reactance of substances, oxygenation, hydration, redox potentials, electro-acupuncture, bio-resonance, super-learning, and other bio-electric functions. All from simple basic science taught in our schools today. REF clinical evaluation
Only with the 40 years of experience to sharpen and perfect the precision of the art. The first studies of Dr. Nelson on the body electric were done in Youngstown, Ohio. This ever dedicated scientist has artfully perfected this art of energetic medicine. All designed as a truly modern medicine to safely assay and treat the people.
The human body is a complicated intricate electrical assembly. It has a reactive set of fields that are driven towards life giving things like oxygen food etc. It is electrically repelled from toxins. This electrical field is processing the qualities of life such as metabolism and reproduction. Thus a vast ever changing system of electrical fields that are intricately interactive with the environment.
The human system is not a linear predictable or reduction type of system. Its vast complicated and elaborate functioning makes it a fractal complexity. As such it responds better to ever changing fractal stimulation not linear reductionistic simple stimulation.
So developing an electrical treatment needed some advances in technology. First a cybernetic loop of measuring, calculation, stimulation, measuring, calculation, stimulation, measuring, calculation, stimulation, and so on. All at biological speeds. Then a reactive system that reacts to

occurs mostly in fruit and vegetables. Potassium makes foods turn Orange. So oranges, pumpkin, paprika, squash etc have the most. Most people get too much sodium and too little potassium. This puts pressure on the potassium-sodium pump. This wastes ATP needed for other cellular functions and stress the body electric. The excess sodium makes the body go acid with excess positive charge. This drives the charge stability of the body to the acid state and is reflected in the measurements made from the SCIO. There are many other factors that can upset this electrical balance.
The electro-potential of the cell membrane must be kept inside some strict limits to assure proper electrical activity for life. The cell is an electrical dynamo needing energy for activity. This energy comes from hot electrons (high quantum state energy of electrons in food). The food has gotten it’s energy from the sun’s visible light photons energizing the electrons to higher quantum states. The quantum energy is broken down in Krebs cycle to make ATP. Photons of heat are released. The cells will have electrical activity that is of a tight range and thus electro-medicine will need to decipher the code of the types of variations in the body electric that hallmark disease states. The cell must fight thermodynamics to live.
The factors of mineral balance especially sodium to potassium is largely a nutritional issue. To much sodium versus potassium is one of the greatest single health risks today. Oxygenation is also key. Smoking and lack of exercise is epidemic and killing millions. Over use and improper use of doctor prescribed medicines is also killing millions. Too much animal fat, trans-fatty acids, dextrose sugar, processed foods, food additives, environmental toxicity, mercury amalgams, and uncontrolled stress are life style factors that are killing millions of people. So the first place to start with health care is the behavior. Behavioral medicine is a ever growing issue of responsibility in health care. The SCIO devotes its first level of use and design to the education and possible correction of life style issues. It is important to point out the value and importance of correcting these issues for health.
Correlations between whole-body impedance measurements and various bio-conductor volumes, such as total body water and fat-free mass, are experimentally well established; we can measure many different factors of the body electric. First there is skin electro-potential.
Each of these small little batteries we call cells blend in harmony to make the multi-cellular organism we call the human. The hundred trillion cells in the human body act both in series and in parallel to make the electro-potentials of the human body. Most of these cells are surrounded by fluid (interstitial, lymph, blood etc.). Theses fluids are mostly water with lots of free protons, electrons and minerals which further enhance the electrical factors. The normal cell has a resting voltage potential across the membrane of 70milli-volts (-70mv). The brain cell will fire at peak voltage of +30mv so as to create a difference of 100 milli-volts.
Thus the body has a measureable voltage and amperage while living. This electro-potential is oscillating and or pulsing. Cells charge and discharge electricity at varying speeds. Global measures reflect trends of the cells in the area to be measured. There are norms of these measures.
The amperage and voltage coming off of the body’s skin is of a range of zero to 5 milliamps and
1.5 volts. Zero is obvious as we all have seen the flat line in a movie telling us the person is dead. Normal people put off micro-amperage and milli-volts, the extreme can be seen at over a volt. The criteria of these potentials are derived from their location and oscillation.
To measure skin resistance, we must apply a known voltammetric signal as an input and then see how much of it is resisted by the body, most applicably by the skin. The measure the galvanic skin resistance or impedance we need to be able to input a voltammetric signal into the electrode points. This is a variant signal in the SCIO of variant wave forms, and wave potentials. The measured output of resistance is usually non hertzian. Pulsations in resistance reactivity are fractal and non repeating.
The voltammetric signal of the SCIO is of a micro-current nature. The applied signal strength is derived from the base signal strength of the patient body natural. We are of the philosophy that signals exceeding twice the body norm will be considered invasive and the body will react adversely to such signals. We wish to just tickle the body with electro-stimulus near the natural. Thus the upper limits of the SCIO body stimulation output will be 5 volts, and 50 micro-amps. All of this is under the regulatory safety criteria specified.
Thus as seen in the EPFX FDA 1989 registration the SCIO is registered to measure volts and amps at 12 points of forehead, wrist and ankles. Input a voltammetric signal to these points, and then measure the reaction of resistance at these points. The SCIO then can acts as a frequency generator sending out voltammetric waveforms and a frequency counter measuring frequency response.
From these simple criteria a host of electrophysiological data can spin out to assist the SCIO in correcting aberrant electrophysiological functioning. Electro-stimulation is helpful in osmotic stimulation, transcutaneous electro-nerval-stimulation for pain control and injury or wound healing, redox stimulation, and others. The SCIO uses a cybernetic loop of analysis to use this electro stimulation to adjust electro-physiology of the patient.
Smooth muscle intracellular pH: measurement, regulation, and function
Smooth muscle performs many functions that are essential for the normal working of the human body. Changes in pH are thought to affect many aspects of smooth muscle. Despite this, until recently little was known about either intracellular pH (pHi) values or pHi regulation in smooth muscle. Recent work measuring pHi with either microelectrodes or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is now providing some of this much needed information for smooth muscles. From these studies, it can be concluded tentatively that pHi is the same in different smooth muscles, approximately 7.06 (37 degrees C). This value is very close to those obtained in cardiac and skeletal muscle. It is clear that H+ is not in equilibrium across the smooth muscle membrane; i.e., pHi is regulated. Preliminary results in smooth muscle suggest that certain aspects of this regulation are different from that described for other muscle types. Changes in pHi have been found to produce marked effects on contraction in smooth muscle. Of particular interest is the fact that, unlike striated muscles, some smooth muscles can product more force during an intracellular acidification.
VARHOPE and Stress
The above diagram shows a key little known fact of biology. The factors of the wave formations of people differ from person to person. The values shown are not perfect. The height of the curve is the voltage. The area under the curve is the Amperage. Proton pressure or the charge stability of the system affects the polarity and the resting potential. The slight changes in these electrical profiles can be measured.

The brain cell will fire with a process called action potential. An action potential is a very rapid change in membrane potential that occurs when a nerve cell membrane is stimulated. Specifically, the membrane potential goes from the resting potential (typically -70 mV) to some positive value (typically about +30 mV) in a very short period of time (just a few milliseconds).
except in the derived unit „electronvolt”. This is quite surprising considering the wide use of this unit in the fields of physics and chemistry. The unit is today treated as nameless, referred to as „fundamental unit of charge” or simply as „e”.
Formally, a measure of charge should be a multiple of the elementary charge e (charge is quantized), but since it is an average, macroscopic quantity, many orders of magnitude larger than a single elementary charge, it can effectively take on any real value. Furthermore, in some contexts it is meaningful to speak of fractions of a charge; e.g. in the charging of a capacitor.
History
What causes this change in potential to occur? The stimulus causes the sodium gates (or channels) to open and, because there’s more sodium on the outside than the inside of the membrane, sodium then diffuses rapidly into the nerve cell. All these positively-charged sodium ions rushing in causes the membrane potential to become positive (the inside of the membrane is now positive relative to the outside). The sodium channels open only briefly, and then close again. This difference makes a potential at the skin measured by the SCIO system, as with all biofeedback systems.
The SCIO measures electro-potential at the 12 harness points in the clear, then applies a voltammetric signal into any or all of the points, then measures the harness points with the applied signal. The amperage and voltage coming off of the non stimulated body’s skin is of a range of zero to 5 milliamps and 1.5 volts. Zero is obvious as we all have seen the flat line in a movie telling us the person is dead. Normal people put off micro-amperage and milli-volts, the extreme can be seen at over a volt. The criteria of these potentials are derived from their location and oscillation.
If we measure on the scalp or the forehead as in the case of the SCIO, we can measure the transcutaneous correlate of the activity of brain cells firing in the brain below the point of measure. This is called EEG or electroencephalography. We can ascertain the Brain wave from the oscillation pattern. The pattern or rhythm of the brain wave is from 4 hertz as delta waves, 4-8 Hz for theta, 8 to 20 for alpha, and 20 to 100 for beta waves. If we measure the electro potential of the skin and filter out these waves we can get the EEG.
If we measure on the forehead, wrists and ankles as in the case of the SCIO, we can measure the transcutaneous correlate of the activity of muscle cell activity between the points of measure. This is called EMG or electromyleography. We can ascertain the muscle activity from the oscillation pattern. The pattern or rhythm of the muscle waves is from 2 to 20 normally with variant spindles up to 1000 Hz. If we measure the electro potential of the skin and filter in these waves we can get the EMG.
If we measure on the wrists and left leg as in the case of the SCIO, we can measure the transcutaneous correlate of the activity of heart cells between the points of measure. This is called ECG or electrocardiography. We can ascertain the Heart wave from the oscillation pattern. The pattern or rhythm of the heart wave is from zero to 2 Hz. If we measure the electro potential of the skin and filter out these waves we can get the ECG. The heart signal is the largest in potential and smallest in time measured in biofeedback.
Coulomb’s torsion balance
As reported by the Ancient Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus around 600 BC, charge (or electricity) could be accumulated by rubbing fur on various substances, such as amber. The Greeks noted that the charged amber buttons could attract light objects such as hair. They also noted that if they rubbed the amber for long enough, they could even get a spark to jump. This property derives from the triboelectric effect.
In 1600 the English scientist William Gilbert returned to the subject in De Magnete, and coined the New Latin word electricus from ηλεκτρον (elektron), the Greek word for „amber”, which soon gave rise to the English words „electric” and „electricity.” He was followed in 1660 by Otto von Guericke, who invented what was probably the first electrostatic generator. Other European pioneers were Robert Boyle, who in 1675 stated that electric attraction and repulsion can act across a vacuum; Stephen Gray, who in 1729 classified materials as conductors and insulators; and C. F. du Fay, who proposed in 1733 that electricity came in two varieties which cancelled each other, and expressed this in terms of a two-fluid theory. When glass was rubbed with silk,

Thus there are definitely electrical values of each patient at multiple globally placed electrodes that make up a VARHOPE profile. These factors are most often controlled by life style behaviors and stress. Slight regulatory balancing from the guided electro-stimulation of the SCIO can also make changes. The next discussion is of the basic nature of electrical charge in biology.
Electric charge
Combinations:
Hypercharge: Y
• Y = (B + S + C + B’ + T)
• Y = 2 (Q − Iz)
Weak hypercharge: YW
Electric charge is a fundamental conserved property of some subatomic particles, which
determines their electromagnetic interactions. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and
• YW
= 2 (Q − Tz)
produces, electromagnetic fields. The interaction between charge and field is the source of one of the four fundamental forces, the electromagnetic force.
Electric charge is a characteristic of almost every subatomic particle found in the universe. It is quantized: when expressed in units of the so-called elementary charge e, it takes integer or fractional values. Electrons by convention have a charge of −1, while protons have the opposite charge of +1. Quarks have a fractional charge of −1⁄3 or +2⁄3. The antiparticle equivalents of these (positrons, antiprotons, and antiquarks, respectively) have the opposite charge. There are other charged particles. The discrete nature of electric charge was proposed by Michael Faraday in his electrolysis experiments, and then directly demonstrated by Robert Millikan in his oil-drop experiment.
In general, same-sign charged particles repel one another, while different-sign charged particles attract. This is expressed quantitatively in Coulomb’s law, which states that the magnitude of the electrostatic repelling force between two particles is proportional to the product of their charges and the inverse square of the distance between them.
The electric charge of a macroscopic object is the sum of the electric charges of its constituent particles. Often, the net electric charge is zero, because it is favorable for the number of electrons in every atom to equal the number of protons (or, more generally, for the number of anions, or negatively charged atoms, in every molecule to equal the number of cations, or positively charged atoms). When the net electric charge is non-zero and motionless, one has the phenomenon known as static electricity. Even when the net charge is zero, it can be distributed non-uniformly (e.g., due to an external electric field, or due to molecular motion), in which case the material is said to be polarized. The charge due to the polarization is known as bound charge, while the excess charge brought from outside is called free charge. The motion of charged particles (e.g., of electrons in metals) in a particular direction is known as electric current.
Units
The SI unit of quantity of electric charge is the coulomb, which is equivalent to about 6.25 × 1018 e (e is the charge on a single electron or proton). Hence, the charge of an electron is approximately
−1.602 x 10−19 C. The coulomb is defined as the quantity of charge that has passed through the cross-section of an electrical conductor carrying one ampere within one second. The symbol Q is often used to denote a quantity of electricity or charge. The quantity of electric charge can be directly measured with an electrometer, or indirectly measured with a ballistic galvanometer.
After finding the quantized character of charge, in 1891 Stoney proposed the unit 'electron’ for this fundamental unit of electrical charge. This was before the discovery of the particle by J.J. Thomson in 1897. Today, the name „electron” for the unit of charge is no longer widely used
• X + 2YW = 5 (B − L)
Flavour mixing
• CKM matrix
• PMNS matrix
• Flavour complementarity
Aside from the properties described in articles about electromagnetism, charge is a relativistic invariant. This means that any particle that has charge Q, no matter how fast it goes, always has charge Q. This property has been experimentally verified by showing that the charge of one helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons bound together in a nucleus and moving around at high speeds) is the same as two deuterium nuclei (one proton and one neutron bound together, but moving much more slowly than they would if they were in a helium nucleus).
Conservation of electric charge
The total electric charge of an isolated system remains constant regardless of changes within the system itself. This law is inherent to all processes known to physics and can be derived in a local form from gauge invariance of the wave function. The conservation of charge results in the charge-current continuity equation. More generally, the net change in charge density ρ within a volume of integration V is equal to the area integral over the current density J on the surface of the area S, which is in turn equal to the net current I:
Thus, the conservation of electric charge, as expressed by the continuity equation, gives the result: The charge transferred between times to and t is obtained by integrating both sides:
Where I is the net outward current through a closed surface and Q is the electric charge contained within the volume defined by the surface.
Active transport across the membrane
Different types of transport across a cell membrane. Diffusion and osmosis are passive modes of transport, requiring no energy, moving from areas of high concentration to areas of low
132 133
concentration. Active transport requires energy to transport molecules from low concentration to high concentration. Movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane using energy provided by respiration. Examples
of substances that can be actively transported across membranes are sodium ions and glucose. Energy is needed because the movement occurs against a concentration gradient, with substances being moved from an area of low concentration to an area where there is a higher concentration. Active transport is therefore quite different from diffusion, which requires no input of energy. In diffusion the movement is in the opposite direction – from an area of high concentration to an area where the concentration is low. An example of diffusion is the movement of oxygen into the blood vessels of the lungs.
Passive Transport across the membrane
A molecule or ion that crosses the membrane by moving down a concentration or electrochemical gradient and without expenditure of metabolic energy is said to be transported passively. Another name for this process is diffusion. All molecules and ions are in constant motion and it is the energy of motion – kinetic energy – that drives passive transport. Transport of uncharged species across a membrane is dictated by differences in concentration of that species across the membrane – that is, by the prevailing concentration gradient. For ions and charged molecules, the electrical potential across the membrane also becomes critically important. Together, gradients in concentration and electric potential across the cell membrane constitute the electrochemical gradient that governs passive transport mechanisms.
Three distinctive types of passive transport are recognized in biological
systems:
• Transport by simple diffusion
• Facilitated diffusion: carrier proteins and ion channels
• Osmosis and hydrostatic pressure
Membrane potential (or transmembrane potential) is the voltage difference (or electrical potential difference) between the interior and exterior of a cell. Because the fluid inside and outside a cell is highly conductive, while a cell’s plasma membrane is highly resistive, the voltage change in moving from a point outside to a point inside occurs largely within the narrow width of the membrane itself. Therefore, it is common to speak of the membrane potential as the voltage across the membrane.
The plasma membrane surrounds the cell to provide a stable environment for biological processes. The membrane potential arises from the action of ion channels, ion pumps, and ion transporters embedded in the membrane which maintain different ion concentrations inside and outside the cell. The term „membrane potential” is sometimes used interchangeably with cell potential but is applicable to any lipid bilayer or membrane.
Three special cases of physiological membrane potential with underlying mechanisms and the concept of equilibrium or reversal potential, which constitute the subject of electrophysiology and cellular biophysics, are addressed in this article. The former are resting membrane potential, action potential, and graded (postsynaptic) membrane potentials. The membrane potential of most not-excitable cells is kept at relatively stable value of resting potential. In contrast, electrically excitable cells like neurons and myocytes can „fire” action potentials. Neurons are specialized to use changes in membrane potential for fast communication, with other neurons, muscles, and secretory cells. When cell membrane depolarizes from resting potential and produces action potential, it travels down the axon to the synapses: the magnitude of the axonal membrane potential varies dynamically along its length. On reaching a (chemical) synapse, a neurotransmitter is released causing a localized change in potential in the postsynaptic membrane of the target neuron by opening ion channels in its membrane. Importantly, every occasion of action potential firing results from spatial and temporal summation of often a very large number of minuscule graded postsynaptic responses of both positive (membrane depolarization) and negative (membrane hyperpolarization) polarities. Ultimately, such important aspects as value of resting potential, maximum amplitude and after-hyperpolarization phase of action potential can be easily understood utilizing the concept of equilibrium potential. In the case of the resting membrane potential across an animal cell’s plasma membrane, potassium (and sodium) gradients are established by the Na+/K+-ATPase (sodium-potassium pump) which transports 2 potassium ions inside and 3 sodium ions outside at the cost of 1 ATP molecule. In other cases, for example, a membrane potential may be established by acidification of the inside of a membranous compartment (such as the proton pump that generates membrane potential across synaptic vesicle membranes).
Reversal potential
An equilibrium or reversal potential of an ion is the value of transmembrane voltage at which
134 135
the electric force generated by diffusional movement of the ion down its concentration gradient becomes equal to the molecular force of that diffusion. This means that the transmembrane voltage exactly matches (resists) the force of diffusion of the ion (or vice versa), such that the net current of the ion across the membrane is zero and unchanging. The equilibrium potential of a particular ion is designated by the notation Eion.The equilibrium potential for any ion can be calculated using the Nernst equation. For example, reversal potential for potassium ions will be as follows:
The Nernst equation is frequently expressed in terms of base 10 logarithms (i.e., common logarithms) rather than natural logarithms, in which case it is written, for a cell at 25 °C:
The Nernst Equation and Resting Potential
At resting potential the sodium – potassium pumps move approximately the same electrical charge inside as outside the cell. However, potassium channels are also present allowing free flow of only potassium ions. The higher concentration of potassium inside the cell drives potassium ions to the outside. After a small number of potassium ions leave the cell the outside of the cell becomes positively charged compared to the inside, developing an electrical field. This electrical field balances the force on the ions from the concentration gradient and is known as the resting potential.
The Nernst equation for the potassium equilibrium potential over the cell membrane is
The 103 term converts from Volts to milliVolts. The computed number is a little higher than the quantity measured in experiments (-70 mV) but all the factors in this complex physical process have been accounted for.
Apparently, even if two different ions have the same charge (ie. K+ and Na+), they can still have very different equilibrium potentials, provided their outside and/or inside concentrations differ. Take, for example, the equilibrium potentials of potassium and sodium in neurons. The potassium equilibrium potential EK is -84 mV with 5 mM potassium outside and 140 mM inside. The sodium equilibrium potential, on the other hand, ENa is approximately +40 mV with approximately 12 mM sodium inside and 140 mM outside.
Resting potential and action potential are often referred as „potassium” and „sodium” potentials, respectively. This stems from the origin of the resting potential (proximity to the EK), and the origin (activation of sodium channels) and the peak amplitude of the action potential (proximity to the ENa).

Putting values in the equation gives this result. Try changing the values in the text fields and clicking the update button to compute a new value for EK (values in formula will be updated).
The diagram is misleading in that while the concentration of potassium ions outside of the cell
increases, only a small amount of K+ needs to cross the membrane in order to produce a membrane potential with a magnitude large enough to counter the tendency the potassium ions to move down the concentration gradient.
Relatively static membrane potential of quiescent cells is called resting membrane potential (or resting voltage), as opposed to the dynamic electrochemical phenomenona called action potential and graded membrane potential. Apart from the latter two, which occur in excitable cells (neurons, muscles, and some secretory cells in glands), membrane voltage in the non-excitable cells can also undergo changes in response to environmental or intracellular stimuli. For example, depolarization of the plasma membrane appears to be an important step in programmed cell death.
136 137
In principle, there is no difference between resting membrane potential and dynamic voltage changes like action potential from biophysical point of view: all these phenomena are caused by specific changes in membrane permeabilities for potassium, sodium, calcium, and chloride, which in turn result from concerted changes in functional activity of various ion channels, ion pumps, exchangers, and transporters. Conventionally, resting membrane potential can be defined as a relatively stable, ground, value of transmembrane voltage in animal and plant cells.
Generation of resting membrane potential is explicitly explained by Goldman equation. It is essentially the Nernst equation, in that it is based on the charges of the ions in question, as well as the difference between their inside and outside concentrations. However, it also takes into consideration the relative permeability of the plasma membrane to each ion in question.
For the three monovalent ions most important to action potentials: potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), and chloride (Cl−). Being an anion, the chloride terms are treated differently than the cation terms; the inside concentration is in the numerator, and the outside concentration is in the denominator, which is reversed from the cation terms. Pi stands for the permeability of the ion type i. If calcium ions are also considered, which are critically important for action potentials in muscles, the formula for the equilibrium potential becomes more complicated. The resting plasma membrane of the most animal cells is much more permeable to K+, which results in the resting potential to be close to the potassium equilibrium potential.
The resting potential of a cell can be most thoroughly understood by thinking of it in terms of equilibrium potentials. In the example diagram here, the model cell was given only one permeant ion (potassium). In this case, the resting potential of this cell would be the same as the equilibrium potential for potassium.
However, a real cell is more complicated, having permeabilities to many ions, each of which contributes to the resting potential. To understand better, consider a cell with only two permeant ions, potassium and sodium. Consider a case where these two ions have equal concentration
approximately 5% of the 140 mV difference between EK and ENa. Thus, the cell’s resting potential will be about −73 mV.
In a more formal notation, the membrane potential is the weighted average of each contributing ion’s equilibrium potential (Goldman equation). The size of each weight is the relative permeability of each ion. In the normal case, where three ions contribute to the membrane potential:
The GHK voltage equation for positive ionic species and negative:
This results in the following if we consider a membrane separating two -solutions:
It is „Nernst-like” but has a term for each permeant ion. The Nernst equation can be considered a special case of the Goldman equation for only one ion:
• Em= The membrane potential
• Pion= the permeability for that ion
gradients directed in opposite directions, and that the membrane permeabilities to both ions are equal. K+ leaving the cell will tend to drag the membrane potential toward EK. Na+ entering the
• [ion]
out
= the extracellular concentration of that ion
cell will tend to drag the membrane potential toward the reversal potential for sodium ENa. Since the permeabilities to both ions were set to be equal, the membrane potential will, at the end of the Na+/K+ tug-of-war, end up halfway between ENa and EK. As ENa and EK were equal but of opposite signs, halfway in between is zero, meaning that the membrane will rest at 0 mV.
Note that even though the membrane potential at 0 mV is stable, it is not an equilibrium condition because neither of the contributing ions are in equilibrium. Ions diffuse down their electrochemical gradients through ion channels, but the membrane potential is upheld by continual K+ influx and Na+ efflux via ion pumps. Such situation with similar permeabilities for counter-acting ions, like potassium and sodium in animal cells, can be extremely costly for the cell if these permeabilities are relatively large, as it takes a lot of ATP energy to pump the ions back. Because no real cell can afford such equal and large ionic permeabilities at rest, resting potential of animal cells is determined by predominant high permeability to potassium and adjusted to the required value by modulating sodium and chloride permeabilities and gradients.
In a healthy animal cell Na+ permeability is about 5% of the K permeability or even less, whereas the respective reversal potentials are +60 mV for sodium and -80 mV for potassium. Thus the membrane potential will not be right at EK, but rather depolarized from EK by an amount of
• [ion]in= the intracellular concentration of that ion
• R = The ideal gas constant
• T = The temperature in kelvins
• F = Faraday’s constant
The first term, before the parenthesis, can be reduced to 61.5 log for calculations at human body temperature (37 C)
Note that the ionic charge determines the sign of the membrane potential contribution.
The usefulness of the GHK equation to electrophysiologists is that it allows one to calculate the predicted membrane potential for any set of specified permeabilities. For example, if one wanted to calculate the resting potential of a cell, they would use the values of ion permeability that are present at rest (e.g. ). If one wanted to calculate the peak voltage of an action potential, one

would simply substitute the permeabilities that are present at that time (e.g. ).
• Em is the membrane potential, measured in volts
• EX is the equilibrium potential for ion X, also in volts
• PX is the relative permeability of ion X in arbitrary units (e.g. siemens for electrical conductance)
• Ptot is the total permeability of all permeant ions, in this case Ptot = PK+ + PNa+ + PCl-
It is important to understand that ionic and water permeability of a pure lipid bilayer is very small, and it is similarly negligible for ions of comparable size, such as Na+ and K+. The cell membranes, however, contain a large number of ion channels, water channels (aquaporins), and various ionic pumps, exchangers, and transporters, which can selectively increase permeability of the membrane for different ions. The relatively high membrane permeability for potassium ions at resting potential results from inward-rectifier potassium ion channels which are open at negative voltages, and so called leak potassium conductances such as two-barrel open rectifier K+ channel (ORK+) which is locked in the open state irrespective of voltage. These potassium channels should not be confused with voltage-activated K+ channels responsible for membrane repolarization during action potential.
Values of resting membrane potential in the most of the mature (differentiated) animal cells usually vary between EK and around -40 mV. Resting voltage in the excitable cells capable of producing action potentials is usually balanced around -60 mV because more depolarized voltage would lead to spontaneous activation of voltage-activated sodium channels and generate action potential. Immature or not-differentiated cells demonstrate highly variable values of resting voltage usually significantly more positive than that in the differentiated cells. In such cells, the resting potential value correlates well with the degree of differentiation: undifferentiated cells can demonstrate resting potential value as low as 0 mV.
Maintenance of resting potential can be very costly for a cell, especially when the cell function requires a rather depolarized value of membrane voltage. For example, resting potential in day light-adapted blowfly (Calliphora vicina) photoreceptors can be as high as -30 mV.. In insect photoreceptors depolarization is provided by light-activated TRP channels which cause fluctuations in membrane voltage in response to changing ambient light intensity. These changes in voltage then propagate as graded membrane responses to the synapses with a second-order neuron. At
-30 mV, blowfly photoreceptor input resistance and membrane time constant can be as low as 10 MΩ and 1.5 ms, respectively, and the corner frequency of the voltage response power spectrum as high as 120 Hz. Such remarkably high corner frequency allows Calliphora vicina to produce the fastest functional responses ever recorded from an ocular photoreceptor. This excellent visual ability, however, is very expensive metabolically, because such a low membrane resistance results from numerous open voltage-activated potassium and light-activated TRP channels, which, in turn, requires high level of Na+/K+-ATPase activity to maintain the proper ionic gradients. As a result, blowfly retina is one of the most, if not the most, energy demanding tissues in the fly both under dark- and light-adapted conditions. Maintenance of resting potential in such cells may cost more than 20% of overall cellular ATP. On the other hand, high resting potential in the not-differentiated cells can be rather a great metabolic advantage, and not a burden for non-active cells such as stem cells. This apparent paradox is easily resolved by careful examination of the origin of that resting potential. Low-differentiated cells are characterized by extremely high input resistance
141
which implies that leak and inward rectifier potassium channels, which are responsible for high potassium permeability at rest, as well as other leak conductances (chloride and sodium, for example), are not expressed at this stage of cell life. As an apparent result, potassium permeability becomes similar to that for sodium ions, which places resting potential in-between the reversal potentials for sodium and potassium as discussed above. And because all ionic permeabilities in such cells are virtually the basic ionic leaks of a lipid bi-layer, very little metabolic cost may be associated with maintenance of resting potential in such cells.
Action potential
Figure 1. A. view of an idealized action potential illustrates its various phases as the action potential passes a point on a cell membrane. B. Actual recordings of action potentials are often distorted compared to the schematic view because of variations in electrophysiological techniques used to make the recording.
Figure 2. Train of action potentials is evoked by a depolarizing current stimulus. This is a whole- cell current clamp recording (voltage is allowed to change freely while current amplitude is held constant).
Neurons communicate with other neurons, muscles, and organs via action potentials (APs), brief transient waveforms quickly „moving” along neuronal axons. The typical duration of an action potential registered with a pointed electrode is about 1 ms, which includes fast depolarization from the resting potential by means of opening of voltage-activated sodium channels, followed by slower repolarization of the membrane as a result of opening of voltage-activated potassium channels. After-hyperpolarization or „undershoot” is the final phase of an action potential which results from the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase (two K+ ions in, three Na+ ions out per cycle of pumping results in the net one positive charge leaving the cell, i.e. one negative charge entering the cell), opening of calcium- and sodium-activated potassium channels, and deactivating delayed-rectifier potassium channels.
Action potential is initiated when membrane is depolarized above action potential activation threshold, which is approximately 20 mV above the resting potential level in neurons (-60 mV). In neurons in vivo, initial depolarization is caused by spatio-temporal summation of graded excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), which is the „natural” mechanism of action potential initiation in neuronal networks. For example, it may require hundreds and thousands of EPSPs simultaneously or almost simultaneously converging on the neuron to evoke an action potential because a typical amplitude of an EPSP is 0.1 mV and the excitatory graded potentials are offset by their inhibitory counterparts, inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs). Alternatively, action potentials can be initiated by external injection of a brief depolarizing current pulse in vitro and in vivo, during physiological experiments and in certain medical devices (see cardiac pacemaker). Sodium and potassium channels are key components of AP generation and propagation. Voltage-activated sodium channels, which are predominantly closed at resting voltage levels, react to a depolarizing perturbation by further opening, first gradually and linearly, but then, beyond a certain threshold, in a robust avalanche-like manner. The principal mechanism of AP generation was discovered by Hodgkin & Huxsley and discussed in detail elsewhere (see Action Potential).
Inactivation of sodium channels is responsible for the so called „absolute refractory period” after action potential. During that period of an order of few milliseconds duration no consequtive AP can be evoked by no matter how large depolarization. During the relative refractory period, a
142 143
sufficient number of sodium channels (but not all) have recovered that an action potential can be provoked, but only with a stimulus much stronger than usual. These refractory periods ensure that the action potential travels in only one direction along the axon. Action potentials usually originate at the axon hillock, where voltage-activated sodium channel density is the highest and their activation voltage threshold is the lowest, but they can be initiated in any part of neuron including dendrites and soma, if density of sodium channels allows it.
Actionpotentials, originatingfromdendritesandsomahavedifferentshapes(broaderindendrites), and the critical amplitude of depolarizing perturbation (AP threshold level) changes as: dendrites
soma > axon hillock. APs usually propagate from axon hillock toward axonal synapses, but can also propagate back to soma and dendrites, although the biological significance and network calculation benefits of this phenomenon are not yet established.
Graded membrane potential
Figure 3. Graph displaying an EPSP, an IPSP, and the summation of an EPSP and an IPSP. When the two are summed together the potential is still below the action potential threshold.
A graded membrane potential is a gradient of transmembrane potential difference along a length of cell membrane. Graded potentials are particularly important in neurons that lack action potentials, such as some types of retinal neurons. Graded potentials that depolarize the membrane, increasing the membrane potential above the resting potential, are important as „triggering potentials” that can spread along the surface of neuronal cell bodies to axon initial segments (the first part of the axon as it leaves the cell body) and trigger action potentials. Graded potentials that hyperpolarize the membrane potential to values more negative than the resting potential can inhibit the generation of action potentials.
Graded potentials can arise at either portions of cells that function as sensory receptors or at synapses that are activated by neurotransmitters. These two types of graded potentials are called receptor potentials or synaptic potentials. Graded potentials are distinct from action potentials in that graded potentials spread electric potential changes along cell membranes without activating the kind of constant magnitude propagating signal that is characteristic of the action potential. Graded potentials are highest at a source and decay with increasing distance from the source.
All other values of membrane potential
From the viewpoint of biophysics, there is nothing particularly special about the resting membrane potential. It is merely the membrane potential that results from the membrane permeabilities that predominate when the cell is resting. The above equation of weighted averages always applies, but the following approach may be easier to visualize. At any given moment, there are two factors for an ion that determine how much influence that ion will have over the membrane potential of a cell.
- That ion’s driving force and,
- That ion’s permeability
Intuitively, this is easy to understand. If the driving force is high, then the ion is being „pushed” across the membrane hard (more correctly stated: it is diffusing in one direction faster than the other). If the permeability is high, it will be easier for the ion to diffuse across the membrane. But what are 'driving force’ and 'permeability’?
• Driving force: the driving force is the net electrical force available to move that ion across the membrane. It is calculated as the difference between the voltage that the ion „wants” to be at (its equilibrium potential) and the actual membrane potential (Em). So formally, the driving force for an ion = Em – Eion
• For example, at our earlier calculated resting potential of −73 mV, the driving force on potassium is 7 mV ((−73 mV) − (−80 mV) = 7 mV. The driving force on sodium would be (−73 mV) − (60 mV) = −133 mV.
• Permeability: is simply a measure of how easily an ion can cross the membrane. It is normally measured as the (electrical) conductance and the unit, siemens, corresponds to 1 C·s-1·V-1, that is one charge per second per volt of potential.
So in a resting membrane, while the driving force for potassium is low, its permeability is very high. Sodium has a huge driving force, but almost no resting permeability. In this case, the math tells us that potassium carries about 20 times more current than sodium, and thus has 20 times more influence over Em than does sodium.
However, consider another case—the peak of the action potential. Here permeability to Na is high and K permeability is relatively low. Thus the membrane moves to near ENa and far from EK.
The more ions are permeant, the more complicated it becomes to predict the membrane potential. However, this can be done using the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation or the weighted means equation. By simply plugging in the concentration gradients and the permeabilities of the ions at any instant in time, one can determine the membrane potential at that moment. What the GHK equations says, basically, is that at any time, the value of the membrane potential will be a weighted average of the equilibrium potentials of all permeant ions. The „weighting” is the ions relative permeability across the membrane.
Effects and implications
While cells expend energy to transport ions and establish a transmembrane potential, they use this potential in turn to transport other ions and metabolites such as sugar. The transmembrane potential of the mitochondria drives the production of ATP, which is the common currency
144 145
of biological energy. Cells may draw on the energy they store in the resting potential to drive action potentials or other forms of excitation. These changes in the membrane potential enable communication with other cells (as with action potentials) or initiate changes inside the cell, which happens in an egg when it is fertilized by a sperm.
In neuronal cells, an action potential begins with a rush of sodium ions into the cell through sodium channels, resulting in depolarization, while recovery involves an outward rush of potassium through potassium channels. Both these fluxes occur by passive diffusion.

Note that the sign of ENa and EK are opposite. This is because the concentration gradient for potassium is directed out of the cell, while the concentration gradient for sodium is directed into the cell. Membrane potentials are defined relative to the exterior of the cell; thus, a potential of
−70 mV implies that the interior of the cell is negative relative to the exterior.
Relatively static membrane potential of quiescent cells is called resting membrane potential (or resting voltage), as opposed to the specific dynamic electrochemical phenomenona called action potential and graded membrane potential.
Apart from the latter two, which occur in excitable cells (neurons, muscles, and some secretory cells in glands), membrane voltage in the majority of not-excitable cells can also undergo changes in response to environmental or intracellular stimuli[citation needed]. In principle, there is no difference between resting membrane potential and dynamic voltage changes like action potential from biophysical point of view: all these phenomena are caused by specific changes in membrane permeabilities for potassium, sodium, calcium, and chloride, which in turn result from concerted changes in functional activity of various ion channels, ion transporters, and exchangers. Conventionally, resting membrane potential can be defined as a relatively stable, ground, value of transmembrane voltage in animal and plant cells.
Any voltage is a difference in electric potential between two points – for example, the separation of positive and negative electric charges on opposite sides of a resistive barrier. The typical resting membrane potential of a cell arises from the separation of potassium ions from intracellular relatively immobile anion across the membrane of the cell. Because of the membrane permeability for potassium much higher than for other ions (consider any voltage-gated channels as not functional at this stage), and because of the strong chemical gradient for potassium, potassium ions flow from cytosole into the extracellular space carrying out positive charges, until their movement is not balanced by built-up of negative charges on the inner surface of the membrane. Again, because of the high relative permeability for potassium, the resulting membrane potential is almost always close to the potassium reversal potential. But in order for this process to occur, a
concentration gradient of potassium ions must first be set up. This work is done by the ion pumps/ transporters and/or exchangers and generally is powered by ATP.
In the case of the resting membrane potential across an animal cell’s plasma membrane, potassium (and sodium) gradients are established by the Na+/K+-ATPase (sodium-potassium pump) which transports 2 potassium ions inside and 3 sodium ions outside at the cost of 1 ATP molecule. In other cases, for example, a membrane potential may be established by acidification of the inside of a membranous compartment (such as the proton pump that generates membrane potential across synaptic vesicle membranes).
Electroneutrality
In most quantitative treatments of membrane potential, such as the derivation of Goldman equation, electroneutrality is assumed; that is, that there is no measurable charge excess in any side of the membrane. So, although there is an electric potential across the membrane due to charge separation, there is no actual measurable difference in the global concentration of positive and negative ions across the membrane (as it is estimated below), that is, there is no actual measurable charge excess in either side. That occurs because the effect of charge on electrochemical potential is hugely greater than the effect of concentration so an undetectable change in concentration creates a great change on electric potential.
Generation of the resting potential
Cell membranes are typically permeable to only a subset of ionic species. These species usually include potassium ions, chloride ions, bicarbonate ions, and others. To simplify the description of the ionic basis of the resting membrane potential, it is most useful to consider only one ionic species at first, and consider the others later. Since trans-plasma-membrane potentials are almost always determined primarily by potassium permeability, that is where to start.
A diagram showing the progression in the development of a membrane potential from a concentration gradient (for potassium). Green arrows indicate net movement of K+ down a concentration gradient. Red arrows indicate net movement of K+ due to the membrane potential. The diagram is misleading in that while the concentration of potassium ions outside of the cell increases, only a small amount of K+ needs to cross the membrane in order to produce a membrane potential with a magnitude large enough to counter the tendency the potassium ions to move down the concentration gradient.
• Panel 1 of the diagram shows a digramatic representation of a simple cell where a concentration gradient has already been established. This panel is drawn as if the membrane has no
146 147
permeability to any ion. There is no membrane potential, because despite there being a concentration gradient for potassium, there is no net charge imbalance across the membrane. If the membrane were to become permeable to a type of ion that is more concentrated on one side of the membrane, then that ion would contribute to membrane voltage because the permeant ions would move across the membrane with net movement of that ion type down the concentration gradient. There would be net movement from the side of the membrane with a higher concentration of the ion to the side with lower concentration. Such a movement of one ion across the membrane would result in a net imbalance of charge across the membrane and a membrane potential. This is a common mechanism by which many cells establish a membrane potential.
• In panel 2 of the diagram, the cell membrane has been made permeable to potassium ions, but not the anions (An-) inside the cell. These anions are mostly contributed by protein. There is energy stored in the potassium ion concentration gradient that can be converted into an electrical gradient when potassium (K) ions move out of the cell. Note that K ions can move across the membrane in both directions but by the purely statistical process that arises from the higher concentration of K inside the cell, there will be more K ions moving out of the cell. Because there is a higher concentration of K ions inside the cells, their random molecular motion is more likely to encounter the permeability pore (ion channel) than is the case for the K ions that are outside and at a lower concentration. An internal K+ is simply „more likely” to leave the cell than an extracellular K+ is to enter it. It is a matter of simple diffusion doing work by dissipating the concentration gradient. As potassium leaves the cell, it is leaving behind the anions. Therefore a charge separation is developing as K+ leaves the cell. This charge separation creates a trans-membrane voltage. This trans-membrane voltage is the membrane potential. As potassium continues to leave the cell, separating more charges, the membrane potential will continue to grow. The length of the arrows (green indicating concentration gradient, red indicating voltage), represents the magnitude of potassium ion movement due to each form of energy. The direction of the arrow indicates the direction in which that particular force is applied. Thus, the building membrane voltage is an increasing force that acts counter to the tendency for net movement of K ions down the potassium concentration gradient.
• In Panel 3, the membrane voltage has grown to the extent that its „strength” now matches the concentration gradient’s. Since these forces (which are applied to K+ ions) are now the same strength and oriented in opposite directions, the system is now in equilibrium. Put another way, the tendency of potassium to leave the cell by running down its concentration gradient is now matched by the tendency of the membrane voltage to pull potassium ions back into the cell. K+ continues to move across the membrane, but the rate at which it enters and leaves the cell are the same, thus, there is no net potassium current. Because the K+ is at equilibrium, membrane potential is stable, or „resting”.
The resting voltage is the result of several ion-translocating enzymes (uniporters, cotransporters, and pumps) in the plasma membrane, steadily operating in parallel, whereby each ion-translocator has its characteristic electromotive force (= reversal potential = 'equilibrium voltage’), depending on the particular substrate concentrations inside and outside (internal ATP included in case of some pumps). H+ exporting ATPase render the membrane voltage in plants and fungi much more negative than in the more extensively investigated animal cells, where the resting voltage is mainly determined by selective ion channels.
In most neurons the resting potential has a value of approximately -70 mV. The resting potential is mostly determined by the concentrations of the ions in the fluids on both sides of the cell membrane and the ion transport proteins that are in the cell membrane. How the concentrations of ions and the membrane transport proteins influence the value of the resting potential is outlined below.
The resting potential of a cell can be most thoroughly understood by thinking of it in terms of equilibrium potentials. In the example diagram here, the model cell was given only one permeant ion (potassium). In this case, the resting potential of this cell would be the same as the equilibrium potential for potassium.
However, a real cell is more complicated, having permeabilities to many ions, each of which contributes to the resting potential. To understand better, consider a cell with only two permeant ions, potassium and sodium. Consider a case where these two ions have equal concentration gradients directed in opposite directions, and that the membrane permeabilities to both ions are equal. K+ leaving the cell will tend to drag the membrane potential toward EK. Na+ entering the cell will tend to drag the membrane potential toward the reversal potential for sodium ENa. Since the permeabilities to both ions were set to be equal, the membrane potential will, at the end of the Na+/K+ tug-of-war, end up halfway between ENa and EK. As ENa and EK were equal but of opposite signs, halfway in between is zero, meaning that the membrane will rest at 0 mV.
Note that even though the membrane potential at 0 mV is stable, it is not an equilibrium condition because neither of the contributing ions are in equilibrium. Ions diffuse down their electrochemical gradients through ion channels, but the membrane potential is upheld by continual K+ influx and Na+ efflux via ion transporters. Such situation with similar permeabilities for counter-acting ions, like potassium and sodium in animal cells, can be extremely costly for the cell if these permeabilities are relatively large, as it takes a lot of ATP energy to pump the ions back. Because no real cell can afford such equal and large ionic permeabilities at rest, resting potential of animal cells is determined by predominant high permeability to potassium and adjusted to the required value by modulating sodium and chloride permeabilities and gradients.
In a healthy animal cell Na+ permeability is about 5% of the K permeability or even less, whereas the respective reversal potentials are +60 mV for sodium (ENa)and -80 mV for potassium (EK). Thus the membrane potential will not be right at EK, but rather depolarized from EK by an amount of approximately 5% of the 140 mV difference between EK and ENa. Thus, the cell’s resting potential will be about −73 mV.
In a more formal notation, the membrane potential is the weighted average of each contributing ion’s equilibrium potential (Goldman equation). The size of each weight is the relative permeability of each ion. In the normal case, where three ions contribute to the membrane potential:
where
• Em is the membrane potential, measured in volts
• EX is the equilibrium potential for ion X, also in volts
148 149
• PX is the relative permeability of ion X in arbitrary units (e.g. siemens for electrical conductance)
• Ptot is the total permeability of all permeant ions, in this case PK+ + PNa+ + PCl- Membrane transport proteins
For determination of membrane potentials, the two most important types of membrane ion transport proteins are ion channels and ion transporters. Ion channel proteins create paths across cell membranes through which ions can passively diffuse without direct expenditure of metabolic energy. They have selectivity for certain ions, thus, there are potassium-, chloride-, and sodium- selective ion channels. Different cells and even different parts of one cell (dendrites, cell bodies, nodes of Ranvier) will have different amounts of various ion transport proteins. Typically, the amount of certain potassium channels is most important for control of the resting potential (see below). Some ion pumps such as the Na+/K+-ATPase are electrogenic, that is, they produce charge imbalance across the cell membrane and can also contribute directly to the membrane potential. Most pumps use metabolic energy (ATP) to function.
Equilibrium potentials
For most animal cells potassium ions (K+) are the most important for the resting potential. Due to the active transport of potassium ions, the concentration of potassium is higher inside cells than outside. Most cells have potassium-selective ion channel proteins that remain open all the time. There will be net movement of positively-charged potassium ions through these potassium channels with a resulting accumulation of excess negative charge inside of the cell. The outward movement of positively-charged potassium ions is due to random molecular motion (diffusion) and continues until enough excess negative charge accumulates inside the cell to form a membrane potential which can balance the difference in concentration of potassium between inside and outside the cell. „Balance” means that the electrical force (potential) that results from the build- up of ionic charge, and which impedes outward diffusion, increases until it is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the tendency for outward diffusive movement of potassium. This balance point is an equilibrium potential as the net transmembrane flux (or current) of K+ is zero. The equilibrium potential for a given ion depends only upon the concentrations on either side of the membrane and the temperature. It can be calculated using the Nernst equation:
where
• E + is the equilibrium potential for potassium, measured in volts
• R is the universal gas constant, equal to 8.314 joules·K-1·mol-1
• T is the absolute temperature, measured in kelvins (= K = degrees Celsius + 273.15)
• z is the number of elementary charges of the ion in question involved in the reaction
• F is the Faraday constant, equal to 96,485 coulombs·mol-1 or J·V-1·mol-1
• [K+]o is the extracellular concentration of potassium, measured in mol·m-3 or mmol·l-1
• [K+]i is likewise the intracellular concentration of potassium
Potassium equilibrium potentials of around -80 millivolts (inside negative) are common. Differences are observed in different species, different tissues within the same animal, and the same tissues under different environmental conditions. Applying the Nernst Equation above, one may account for these differences by changes in relative K+ concentration or differences in temperature.
For common usage the Nernst equation is often given in a simplified form by assuming typical human body temperature (37 C), reducing the constants and switching to Log base 10. (The units used for concentration are unimportant as they will cancel out into a ratio). For Potassium at normal body temperature one may calculate the equilibrium potential in millivolts as:
Likewise the equilibrium potential for sodium (Na+) at normal human body temperature is calculated using the same simplified constant. You can calculate E assuming the an outside concentration,[K+]o, of 100mM and an inside concentration, [K+]i, of 10mM. For chloride ions (Cl-) the sign of the constant must be reversed (-61.54 mV). If calculating the equilibrium potential for calcium (Ca2+) the 2+ charge halves the simplified constant to 30.77 mV. If working at room temperature, about 21 C, the calculated constants are approximately 58 mV for K+ and Na+, – 58 mV for Cl- and 29 mV for Ca2+. At physiological temperature, about 29.5 C, and physiological concentrations (which vary for each ion), the calculated potentials are approximately 67 mV for Na+, -90mV for K+, -86 mV for Cl- and 123 mV for Ca2+.
Resting potentials
The resting membrane potential is not an equilibrium potential as it relies on the constant expenditure of energy (for ionic pumps as mentioned above) for its maintenance. It is a dynamic diffusion potential that takes mechanism into account—wholly unlike the equilibrium potential, which is true no matter the nature of the system under consideration. The resting membrane potential is dominated by the ionic species in the system that has the greatest conductance across the membrane. For most cells this is potassium. As potassium is also the ion with the most negative equilibrium potential, usually the resting potential can be no more negative than the potassium equilibrium potential. The resting potential can be calculated with the Goldman- Hodgkin-Katz voltage equation using the concentrations of ions as for the equilibrium potential while also including the relative permeabilities, or conductances, of each ionic species. Under normal conditions, it is safe to assume that only potassium, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions play large roles for the resting potential:
This equation resembles the Nernst equation, but has a term for each permeant ion. Also, z has been inserted into the equation, causing the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of Cl- to be reversed relative to K+ and Na+, as chloride’s negative charge is handled by inverting the fraction inside the logarithmic term. *Em is the membrane potential, measured in volts *R, T, and F are as above *PX is the relative permeability of ion X in arbitrary units (e.g. siemens for electrical conductance) *[X]Y is the concentration of ion X in compartment Y as above. Another way to view
150 151
the membrane potential is using the Millman equation:
or reformulated
where Ptot is the combined permeability of all ionic species, again in arbitrary units. The latter equation portrays the resting membrane potential as a weighted average of the reversal potentials of the system, where the weights are the relative permeabilites across the membranes (PX/Ptot). During the action potential, these weights change. If the permeabilities of Na+ and Cl- are zero, the membrane potential reduces to the Nernst potential for K+ (as PK+ = Ptot). Normally, under resting conditions PNa+ and PCl- are not zero, but they are much smaller than PK+, which renders Em close to Eeq,K+. Medical conditions such as hyperkalemia in which blood serum potassium (which governs [K+]o) is changed are very dangerous since they offset Eeq,K+, thus affecting Em. This may cause arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. The use of a bolus injection of potassium chloride in executions by lethal injection stops the heart by shifting the resting potential to a more positive value, which depolarizes and contracts the cardiac cells permanently, not allowing the heart to repolarize and thus enter diastole to be refilled with blood.
Measuring resting potentials
In some cells, the membrane potential is always changing (such as cardiac pacemaker cells). For such cells there is never any ―rest and the ―resting potential is a theoretical concept. Other cells with little in the way of membrane transport functions that change with time have a resting membrane potential that can be measured by inserting an electrode into the cell. Transmembrane potentials can also be measured optically with dyes that change their optical properties according to the membrane potential.
Summary of resting potential values in different types of cells
The resting membrane potential in different cell types are approximately:
• Skeletal muscle cells: −95 mV
• Smooth muscle cells: -50mV References

du Fay said that the glass was charged with vitreous electricity, and when amber was rubbed with fur, the amber was said to be charged with resinous electricity. In 1839 Michael Faraday showed that the apparent division between static electricity, current electricity and bioelectricity was incorrect, and all were a consequence of the behavior of a single kind of electricity appearing in opposite polarities. It is arbitrary which polarity you call positive and which you call negative. Positive charge can be defined as the charge left on a glass rod after being rubbed with silk.
One of the foremost experts on electricity in the 18th century was Benjamin Franklin, who argued in favor of a one-fluid theory of electricity. Franklin imagined electricity as being a type of invisible fluid present in all matter; for example he believed that it was the glass in a Leyden jar that held the accumulated charge. He posited that rubbing insulating surfaces together caused this fluid to change location, and that a flow of this fluid constitutes an electric current. He also posited that when matter contained too little of the fluid it was „negatively” charged, and when it had an excess it was „positively” charged. Arbitrarily (or for a reason that was not recorded) he identified the term „positive” with vitreous electricity and „negative” with resinous electricity. William Watson arrived at the same explanation at about the same time.
Static electricity and electric current
Static electricity and electric current are two separate phenomena, both involving electric charge, and may occur simultaneously in the same object. Static electricity is a reference to the electric charge of an object and the related electrostatic discharge when two objects are brought together that are not at equilibrium. An electrostatic discharge creates a change in the charge of each of the two objects. In contrast, electric current is the flow of electric charge through an object, which produces no net loss or gain of electric charge. Although charge flows between two objects during an electrostatic discharge, time is too short for current to be maintained.

Electromyography
(EMG) is atechniqueforevaluatingandrecordingtheactivationsignalofmuscles. EMGisperformed using an instrument called an electromyograph, to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells when these cells are both mechanically active and at rest. The signals can be analyzed in order to detect medical abnormalities or analyze the biomechanics of human or animal movement.
Nerve signals from the Central Nervous System CNS are sent to the medial parts of a muscle for activation of a muscle or the insertion points at the ends of a muscle to deactivate the muscle. The action of the muscle is the activation of small magnetic cells that draw over each other to make contraction. The process is a bio-electromagnetic process involving variant oscillations and non-linear dynamics.
Electrical characteristics
The electrical source is the muscle membrane potential of about -90mV. Measured EMG potentials range between less than 50 μV and up to 20 to 30 mV, depending on the muscle under observation.
Typical repetition rate of muscle unit firing is about 7–20 Hz, depending on the size of the muscle (eye muscles versus seat (gluteal) muscles), previous axonal damage and other factors. Damage to motor units can be expected at ranges between 450 and 780 mV.
The muscle frequencies used for contraction and relaxation of a muscle are complex and non- linear in analysis. There some frequencies that can act as tetanic freeze stimulation. High band waves as high as 10K can be also detected and corrected. The regulatory process of normal muscle activity is a complex and fractal environment. Irregular stimulation and regulatory frequencies can be detected.
Muscles respond to electrical stimulation. Micro-current stimulation can be used to help to normalize muscle activity by stabilizing the regulatory processes of the body. The body works at micro-current levels and the SCIO system can help regulate these processes thru a cybernetic loop of micro-current stimulation and detection. Muscle regulation activity is effected by pH thus charge stability, oxygenation (redox potential), nutrition, training and a host of other variables. These lifestyle factors must be addressed to fully correct muscle dysfunction.
History
The first documented experiments dealing with EMG started with Francesco Redi’s works in 1666. Redi discovered a highly specialized muscle of the electric ray fish (Electric Eel) generated electricity. By 1773, Walsh had been able to demonstrate that the Eel fish’s muscle tissue could generate a spark of electricity. In 1792, a publication entitled “De Viribus Electricitatis in Motu Musculari Commentarius” appeared, written by Luigi Galvani, in which the author demonstrated that electricity could initiate muscle contractions. Six decades later, in 1849, Dubios-Raymond discovered that it was also possible to record electrical activity during a voluntary muscle contraction. The first actual recording of this activity was made by Marey in 1890, who also introduced the term electromyography. In 1922, Gasser and Erlanger used an oscilloscope to show the electrical signals from muscles. Because of the stochastic nature of the myoelectric
155
signal, only rough information could be obtained from its observation. The capability of detecting electromyographic signals improved steadily from the 1930s through the 1950s, and researchers began to use improved electrodes more widely for the study of muscles. Clinical use of surface EMG (sEMG) for the treatment of more specific disorders began in the 1960s. Hardyck and his researchers were the first (1966) practitioners to use sEMG. In the early 1980s, Cram and Steger introduced a clinical method for scanning a variety of muscles using an EMG sensing device.
It is not until the middle of the 1980s that integration techniques in electrodes had sufficiently advanced to allow batch production of the required small and lightweight instrumentation and amplifiers. At present, a number of suitable amplifiers are commercially available. In the early 1980s, cables that produce artifacts in the desired microvolt range became available. During the past 15 years, research has resulted in a better understanding of the properties of surface EMG recording. In recent years, surface electromyography is increasingly used for recording from superficial muscles in clinical protocols, where intramuscular electrodes are used for deep muscle only.
There are many applications for the use of EMG. EMG is used clinically for the diagnosis of neurological and neuromuscular problems. It is used diagnostically by gait laboratories and by clinicians trained in the use of biofeedback or ergonomic assessment. EMG is also used in many types of research laboratories, including those involved in biomechanics, motor control, neuromuscular physiology, movement disorders, postural control, and physical therapy.
In 1985 Dr. Nelson (now known as Desire’ Dubounet) developed a cybernetic biofeedback system now known as the SCIO that can produce a natural level stimulation and measure the response. A cybernetic self focusing device that can be used for stabilizing muscle regulation. This technological advancement is safe and effective used around the world.
Using known technologies well established as safe and effective in the literature, Nelson was able to combine EMG, GSR. EEG, ECG, with micro-current technologies such as MENS, CES, trauma healing, and others to make a more advanced technology. After over two decades registered in the market place and no reports of significant risk, hundreds of studies have been published on its success. In fact the SCIO is perhaps the most researched biofeedback device in history.
EMG Procedure
There are two kinds of EMG in widespread use: surface EMG and needle (intramuscular) EMG. To perform intramuscular EMG, a needle electrode is inserted through the skin into the muscle tissue. A trained professional (most often a physiatrist, neurologist, physical therapist, or chiropractor) observes the electrical activity while inserting the electrode. The insertional activity provides valuable information about the state of the muscle and its innervating nerve. Normal muscles at rest make certain, normal electrical sounds when the needle is inserted into them. Then the electrical activity when the muscle is at rest is studied. Abnormal spontaneous activity might indicate some nerve and/or muscle damage. Then the patient is asked to contract the muscle smoothly. The shape, size and frequency of the resulting motor unit potentials is judged. Then the electrode is retracted a few millimeters, and again the activity is analyzed until at least 10-20 units have been collected. Each electrode track gives only a very local picture of the activity of the whole muscle. Because skeletal muscles differ in the inner structure, the electrode has to be placed at various locations to obtain an accurate study.
Intramuscular EMG may be considered too invasive or unnecessary in some cases. Instead, a surface electrode may be used to monitor the general picture of muscle activation, as opposed to the activity of only a few fibres as observed using a needle. This technique is used in a number of settings; for example, in the physiotherapy clinic, muscle activation is monitored using surface EMG and patients have an auditory or visual stimulus to help them know when they are activating the muscle (biofeedback).
A motor unit is defined as one motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it innervates. When a motor unit fires, the impulse (called an action potential) is carried down the motor neuron to the muscle. The area where the nerve contacts the muscle is called the neuromuscular junction, or the motor end plate. After the action potential is transmitted across the neuromuscular junction, an action potential is elicited in all of the innervated muscle fibers of that particular motor unit. The sum of all this electrical activity is known as a motor unit action potential (MUAP). This electrophysiologic activity from multiple motor units is the signal typically evaluated during an EMG. The composition of the motor unit, the number of muscle fibres per motor unit, the metabolic type of muscle fibres and many other factors affect the shape of the motor unit potentials in the myogram.
Nerve conduction testing is also often done at the same time as an EMG in order to diagnose neurological diseases.
Some patients can find the procedure somewhat painful, whereas others experience only a small amount of discomfort when the needle is inserted. The muscle or muscles being tested may be slightly sore for a day or two after the procedure.
Normal results
Muscle tissue at rest is normally electrically inactive. After the electrical activity caused by the irritation of needle insertion subsides, the electromyograph should detect no abnormal spontaneous activity (i.e., a muscle at rest should be electrically silent, with the exception of the area of the neuromuscular junction, which is, under normal circumstances, very spontaneously active). When the muscle is voluntarily contracted, action potentials begin to appear. As the strength of the muscle contraction is increased, more and more muscle fibers produce action potentials. When the muscle is fully contracted, there should appear a disorderly group of action potentials of varying rates and amplitudes (a complete recruitment and interference pattern).
Electromyogram (EMG) and nerve conduction studies
156 157
Abnormal Electrical activity in a muscle at rest shows that there may be a problem with the nerve supply to the muscle. Abnormal wave lines when a muscle contracts may mean a muscle or nerve disorder, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), post-polio syndrome, inflammation, or other muscle problems.
In nerve conduction studies, the speed of nerve impulses (conduction velocity) may be slower than what is normal forthatnerve. Slowerconductionvelocitiesmaybecaused by injury to a nerve (such as carpal tunnel syndrome) or group of nerves (such as Guillain-Barré syndrome or post- polio syndrome). Nerve conduction velocities generally get slower as a person gets older.
Abnormal results
EMG is used to diagnose two general categories of disease: neuropathies and myopathies. Neuropathic disease has the following defining EMG characteristics:
• An action potential volt-ammetric amplitude that is twice normal due to the increased number of fibres per motor unit because of reinnervation of denervated fibres.
• An action potential volt-ammetric amplitude that is reduced from normal due to the decreased number of fibres per motor unit because of reinnervation of denervated fibres.
• An increase in duration or frequency of the action potential
• A decrease in the number of motor units in the muscle (as found using motor unit number estimation techniques)
Myopathic disease has these defining EMG characteristics:
• A decrease in duration of the action potential (wave form aberation)
• A reduction in the area (amperage) to amplitude (voltage) ratio of the volt-ammetric action potential
• A decrease in the number of motor units in the muscle (in extremely severe cases only)
Because of the individuality of each patient and disease, some of these characteristics may not appear in every case.
Abnormal results may be caused by the following medical conditions (please note this is nowhere near an exhaustive list of conditions that can result in abnormal EMG studies):
• Alcoholic neuropathy
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
• Axillary nerve dysfunction
• Becker’s muscular dystrophy
• Brachial plexopathy
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Centronuclear myopathy
• Cervical spondylosis
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
• Chronic Immune Demyelinating Poly[radiculo]neuropathy (CIDP)
• Common peroneal nerve dysfunction
• Denervation (reduced nervous stimulation)
• Dermatomyositis
• Distal median nerve dysfunction
• Duchenne muscular dystrophy
• Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (Landouzy-Dejerine)

EMG signal decomposition
EMG signals are essentially made up of superimposed motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) from several motor units. For a thorough analysis, the measured EMG signals can be decomposed into their constituent MUAPs. MUAPs from different motor units tend to have different characteristic shapes, while MUAPs recorded by the same electrode from the same motor unit are typically similar. Notably MUAP size and shape depend on where the electrode is located with respect to the fibers and so can appear to be different if the electrode moves position. EMG decomposition is non-trivial, although many methods have been proposed.
Applications of EMG
EMG signals are used in many clinical and biomedical applications. EMG is used as a diagnostics tool for identifying neuromuscular diseases, assessing low-back pain, kinesiology, and disorders of motor control. EMG signals are also used as a control signal for prosthetic devices such as prosthetic hands, arms, and lower limbs.
EMG can be used to sense isometric muscular activity where no movement is produced. This enables definition of a class of subtle motionless gestures to control interfaces without being noticed and without disrupting the surrounding environment. These signals can be used to control a prosthesis or as a control signal for an electronic device such as a mobile phone or PDA.
EMG signals have been targeted as control for flight systems. The Human Senses Group at the NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, CA seeks to advance man-machine interfaces by directly connecting a person to a computer. In this project, an EMG signal is used to substitute for mechanical joysticks and keyboards. EMG has also been used in research towards a “wearable cockpit,” which employs EMG-based gestures to manipulate switches and control sticks necessary for flight in conjunction with a goggle-based display.
Unvoiced speech recognition recognizes speech by observing the EMG activity of muscles associated with speech. It is targeted for use in noisy environments, and may be helpful for people without vocal cords and people with aphasia.
Key Studies References
A new method for objective quantification of localized muscle fatigue is described. The method is based on power spectrum analysis of myoelectric signals obtained from the fatigued muscle. It permits real-time investigations and yields statistically based criteria for the occurrence of fatigue. The findings are interpreted in terms of muscle action potential conduction velocity changes and rate of the fatigue development.( This points to a larger broader band of frequencies for EMG than
previously supposed)

Summary
A surface electrode array has been used to investigate the relationship between muscle fibre conduction velocity and the frequency spectrum during sustained isometric contractions of the biceps brachii. Measurement of muscle fibre conduction velocity was made directly, using the zero-crossing time delay method with two pairs of bipolar electrodes. It was found that the average conduction velocity during an intense (12 kg) sustained contraction decreased by about 20% at the end of the contracting period. Except for peak frequency, changes in the spectral parameters decreased in a similar manner. These results indicate that, during fatiguing contraction, spectral modifications are partly due to reduction in the action potential conduction velocity along the muscle fibers.

Influence of lactate accumulation of EMG frequency spectrum during repeated concentric contractions
ABSTRACT
One hundred and twenty consecutive maximal leg extensions at a constant angular velocity of 1.5 radians. s-1 were performed by nine physical education students. Integrated electromyographic (IEMG) activity and power spectrum density function (PSDF) of the EMG were recorded from m. vastus lateralis, m. vastus medialis and m. rectus femoris using bipolar surface electrodes. Muscle biopsies were obtained from m. vastus lateralis before and after exercise. Tissue samples were analyzed for muscle fiber type distribution and lactate and glycogen concentration. Muscle force and IEMG decreased in parallel over the exercise period. Thus, the IEMG/force ratio was unchanged. Mean power frequency (MPF) of PSDF of the three muscles decreased by 10% (p<0.001) during the initial 25 contractions with no further decline during the latter part of exercise. The relative contribution of the highest bandwidth (130–1000 Hz) of the PSDF decreased (p<0.001) between the first and final contractions. Muscle glycogen concentration decreased from 85 ± 23 to 68 ± 22 mmol ± kg-1 w. w.during the exercise. Muscle and blood lactate concentration averaged 12.1 ± 8.8 mmol ± kg-1 w. w.and 3.8 ± 0.8 mmol ± l-1, respectively. The relative changes in MPF and in the highest bandwidth were correlated with muscle lactate concentration and fiber type distribution: in individuals with a high proportion of fast twitch muscle fibers and/or the greatest lactate accumulation, MPF and high frequency components of EMG PSDF decreased most markedly. Reductions in muscle force and IEMG are suggested to be partly due to a decreased motor neuron firing rate. It is discussed whether lactate or associated metabolic changes are influencing the motor unit action potential through feedback processes

Summary
The surface EMG was recorded from above the quadriceps muscle in 3 male subjects during bicycle ergometry at work loads between 20 and 100% of the VO2 max to measure the EMG amplitude (RMS) and frequency (assessed from the center frequency of the power spectra) during this type of work. During brief (3 min) bouts of work the RMS amplitude of the EMG was linearly related to the work load; the center frequency of the EMG power spectra was the same at all work loads examined. In contrast, during sustained bouts of work maintained for 80 min at 20 and 40% of the VO2 max, the RMS amplitude of the EMG remained constant while the center frequency initially increased for the first 20 min of work and then progressively decreased as the work continued. When work loads of 60, 80, and 100% of the VO2 max were sustained to fatigue, the RMS amplitude continually increased while the EMG frequency decreased from the beginning to the end of the work periods.
The results of this study showed that the EMG is a complex waveform, being influenced not only by fatigue, but to even a larger extent in many cases, the temperature of the exercising muscles. Therefore, although muscular fatigue caused an increase in the RMS amplitude and decrease in the center frequency, the increase in muscle temperature associated with the work opposed these changes by causing a reduction in the RMS amplitude and an increase in the center frequency.

Summary
A study was performed to investigate the changes that occur in the median frequency of the myoelectric signal during local ischemia or reduction of intramuscular temperature produced by surface cooling. Data was obtained from experiments which involved the first dorsal interosseous muscle of 10 female and 16 male subjects. These subjects were asked to perform isometric constant-force abduction contractions of the index finger at 20% and 80% of maximal voluntary contraction level. The initial median frequency (IMF) of the myoelectric signal during the first 0.5 s of contraction was calculated. Results showed a significant reduction of the IMF in contractions performed under ischemic conditions; upon release, the IMF recovered quickly. At 80% maximal voluntary level of contraction, a greater decrease of the IMF was recorded. Similar results were demonstrated during reduction of intramuscular temperature with gradual recovery of the IMF after cooling. These results demonstrate that the median frequency of the myoelectric signal
displays behavior similar to that reported for conduction velocity and this is consistent with the notion that accumulation of metabolic byproducts in muscle tissue causes a decrease in the conduction velocity of the muscle fibers.
Factors determining the frequency content of the electromyogram
H. Kranz, A. M. Williams, J. Cassell, D. J. Caddy and R. B. Silberstein
The contribution of central and peripheral factors to the frequency content of the electromyogram was examined in 10 subjects performing maximal 45-s contractions of thenar muscles. The median frequencies (Fm) of surface-recorded electromyograms and compound action potentials were similar early (P greater than 0.6) and late (P greater than 0.5) in the contractions. There was a mean decrease in the Fm during contraction of 39% for electromyograms and 35% for compound potentials (P greater than 0.1). The Fm of electromyograms increased 11% (P less than 0.02) in only the 1st s of contraction as force was raised from 25 to 100% of maximum. Only one of five subjects showed evidence of increasing synchronization of motor unit discharge during contraction. There was no evidence that delay or dispersion of action potential propagation in terminal nerve fibers or at the neuromuscular junction had a significant effect on frequency content. The findings indicated that the spectral content of muscle electrical activity, and its shift during contraction, primarily reflects intrinsic muscle properties.

pH-induced effects on median frequency and conduction velocity of the myoelectric signal

H+ accumulation at the sarcolemma is believed to play a key role in determining the electrophysiological correlates of fatigue. This paper describes an in vitro method to externally manipulate muscle pH while measuring the resultant effect on surface-detected median frequency (MDF) and conduction velocity (CV) parameters. Hamster muscle diaphragm strips (n = 8) were isolated with the phrenic nerve intact and placed in an oxygenated Krebs bath (26 degrees C). The muscle was clamped to a noncompliant load cell to measure isometric contractile tension. Tetanic contraction was developed via 40-Hz supermaximal stimulation of the phrenic nerve. Differential signals were recorded from three electromyogram (EMG) detection surfaces for computation of CV (via the phase shift in the EMG signals) and MDF. Repeated trials were conducted at bath pHs of 7.4, 7.0, and 6.6. Bath pH was altered by aerating predetermined concentrations of O2 and CO2 into the bath. Decreases in bath pH resulted in decreases in both initial MDF and initial CV. The differences in initial MDF and initial CV were significant (P less than 0.001) for each of the bath pH conditions. In general, the change in bath pH resulted in an equal percent change in initial MDF and initial CV. This suggests that the change in bath pH caused a decrease in CV without significantly altering the fundamental shape of the M wave. In contrast, the EMG was altered differently during stimulated contractions. During stimulation, the rate of decay of CV was 65% of the rate of decay of MDF.

Ergonomics. Vol. 25, no. 3, pp. 213-223. 1982
The frequency components and amplitude of the surface electromyogram (EMG) were measured during both 3-s (tensions of 5-100% of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC)) and fatiguing contractions at 25, 40 and 70% MVC in the handgrip, biceps, adductor pollicis and quadriceps muscles in six male subjects. The amplitude of the EMG during brief and fatiguing contractions were similar for all muscles except the biceps. The biceps showed a non-linear relation between the amplitude of the EMG and tension during brief isometric contractions and to a lesser extent during fatiguing contractions.

ABSTRACT
Electromyographic activity (EMG) of the knee extensor musculature (m. vastus lateralis, m. vastus medialis, m. rectus femoris), triceps surae (m. gastrocnemius, m. soleus) and m. tibialis anterior was studied in ergometer bicycling at five different power outputs around aerobic (AerT) and anaerobic (AnT) thresholds. EMGs were sampled with surface electrodes for ten revolutions at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of each work load and integrated (IEMG) separately for each of the muscles and for the descending (work) and ascending (rest) phase of the revolution. The mean power frequency (MPF) of the power spectral density function for the descending periods was also calculated. The first work load was 50% of the maximal load, the second at the level of AerT, the third at the AnT, the fourth between the AnT and the maximal load and the fifth load was maximal. The AerT and AnT were determined using blood lactate, ventilation volume and oxygen consumption. Five males from 21 to 38 years of age volunteered as subjects. When the IEMGs of the knee extensor and triceps surae musculature were related to the work load a nonlinearity was found at the aerobic threshold while no further change in the linearity was found at the AnT. The non-linear increase of the IEMG at the AerT was found both for the working (descending) and resting (ascending) phases of the cycling. In the MPF no difference below and above the AnT was found. It was thought that the integral of EMG activity could serve as an indicator of the aerobic threshold of an individual muscle.

Myoelectric manifestations of fatigue in voluntary and electrically elicited contractions

NeuroMuscular Research Center, Boston University, Massachusetts 02215.
The time course of muscle fiber conduction velocity and surface myoelectric signal spectral (mean and median frequency of the power spectrum) and amplitude (average rectified and root-mean- square value) parameters was studied in 20 experiments on the tibialis anterior muscle of 10 healthy human subjects during sustained isometric voluntary or electrically elicited contractions. Voluntary contractions at 20% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and at 80% MVC with duration of 20 s were performed at the beginning of each experiment. Tetanic electrical stimulation was then applied to the main muscle motor point for 20 s with surface electrodes at five stimulation frequencies (20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 Hz). All subjects showed myoelectric manifestations of muscle fatigue consisting of negative trends of spectral variables and conduction velocity and positive trends of amplitude variables. The main findings of this work are 1) myoelectric signal variables obtained from electrically elicited contractions show fluctuations smaller than those observed in voluntary contractions, 2) spectral variables are more sensitive to fatigue than conduction velocity and the average rectified value is more sensitive to fatigue than the root-mean-square value, 3) conduction velocity is not the only physiological factor affecting spectral variables, and 4) contractions elicited at supramaximal stimulation and frequencies greater than 30 Hz demonstrate myoelectric manifestations of muscle fatigue greater than those observed at 80% MVC sustained for the same time.

Nervous system
The human nervous system consists of billions of nerve cells (or neurons)plus supporting (neuroglial) cells. Neurons are able to respond to stimuli (such as touch, sound, light, and so on), conduct impulses, and communicate with each other (and with other types of cells like muscle cells).
With one electrode placed inside a neuron and the other outside, the voltmeter is ‘measuring’ the difference in the distribution of ions on the inside versus the outside. And, in this example, the voltmeter reads -70 mV (mV = millivolts). In other words, the inside of the neuron is slightly negative relative to the outside. This difference is referred to as the Resting Membrane Potential. How is this potential established?
The nucleus of a neuron is located in the cell body. Extending out from the cell body are processes called dendrites and axons. These processes vary in number & relative length but always serve to conduct impulses (with dendrites conducting impulses toward the cell body and axons conducting impulses away from the cell body).
Neurons can respond to stimuli and conduct impulses because a membrane potential is established across the cell membrane. In other words, there is an unequal distribution of ions (charged atoms) on the two sides of a nerve cell membrane. This can be illustrated with a voltmeter:
168 169
The membranes of all nerve cells have a potential difference across them, with the cell interior negative with respect to the exterior (a). In neurons, stimuli can alter this potential difference by opening sodium channels in the membrane. For example, neurotransmitters interact specifically with sodium channels (or gates). So sodium ions flow into the cell, reducing the voltage across the membrane.
Once the potential difference reaches a threshold voltage, the reduced voltage causes hundreds of sodium gates in that region of the membrane to open briefly. Sodium ions flood into the cell, completely depolarizing the membrane (b). This opens more voltage-gated ion channels in the adjacent membrane, and so a wave of depolarization courses along the cell — the action potential.
As the action potential nears its peak, the sodium gates close, and potassium gates open, allowing ions to flow out of the cell to restore the normal potential of the membrane (c) (Gutkin and Ermentrout 2006).
Establishment of the Resting Membrane Potential
Membranes are polarized or, in other words, exhibit a RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL. This means that there is an unequal distribution of ions (atoms with a positive or negative charge) on the two sides of the nerve cell membrane. This POTENTIAL generally measures about 70 millivolts (with the INSIDE of the membrane negative with respect to the outside). So, the RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL is expressed as -70 mV, and the minus means that the inside is negative relative to (or compared to) the outside. It is called a RESTING potential because it occurs when a membrane is not being stimulated or conducting impulses (in other words, it’s resting).
The Sodium-Potassium Pump Used with permission of Gary Kaiser
What factors contribute to this membrane potential?
Two ions are responsible: sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+). An unequal distribution of these two ions occurs on the two sides of a nerve cell membrane because carriers actively transport these two ions: sodium from the inside to the outside and potassium from the outside to the inside. AS A RESULT of this active transport mechanism (commonly referred to as the SODIUM – POTASSIUM PUMP), there is a higher concentration of sodium on the outside than the inside and a higher concentration of potassium on the inside than the outside.
Sodium-potassium pump
The nerve cell membrane also contains special passageways for these two ions that are commonly referred to as GATES or CHANNELS. Thus, there are SODIUM GATES and POTASSIUM GATES. These gates represent the only way that these ions can diffuse through a nerve cell membrane. IN A RESTING NERVE CELL MEMBRANE, all the sodium gates are closed and some of the potassium gates are open. AS A RESULT, sodium cannot diffuse through the membrane & largely remains outside the membrane. HOWEVER, some potassium ions are able to diffuse out.
OVERALL, therefore, there are lots of positively charged potassium ions just inside the membrane and lots of positively charged sodium ions PLUS some potassium ions on the outside. THIS MEANS THAT THERE ARE MORE POSITIVE CHARGES ON THE OUTSIDE THAN ON THE INSIDE. In other
words, there is an unequal distribution of ions or a resting membrane potential. This potential will be maintained until the membrane is disturbed or stimulated. Then, if it’s a sufficiently strong stimulus, an action potential will occur.

In a cross section view of the voltage-dependent potassium channel, two of the four paddles move up and down, opening and closing the central pore through which potassium ions flow out of the cell, restoring the cell’s normal negative inside, positive outside polarity.
Membrane potential
Voltage sensing in a potassium ion channel. a, The control of ion flow through voltage-gated channels is very sensitive to the voltage across the cell membrane. By comparison, an electronic device such as a transistor is much less sensitive to applied voltage. b, MacKinnon and colleagues (Zhou et al. 2001) have found that the voltage sensors in a bacterial potassium channel are charged ‘paddles’ that move through the fluid membrane interior. Four voltage sensors (two of which are shown here) are linked mechanically to the channel’s ‘gate’. Each voltage sensor has four tethered positive charges (amino acids); the high sensitivity of channel gating results from the transport of so many charges, 16 in all, most of the way across the membrane (From: Sigworth 2003).
ACTION POTENTIAL
An action potential is a very rapid change in membrane potential that occurs when a nerve cell membrane is stimulated. Specifically, the membrane potential goes from the resting potential (typically -70 mV) to some positive value (typically about +30 mV) in a very short period of time (just a few milliseconds).
What causes this change in potential to occur? The stimulus causes the sodium gates (or channels) to open and, because there’s more sodium on the outside than the inside of the membrane, sodium then diffuses rapidly into the nerve cell. All these positively-charged sodiums rushing in causes the membrane potential to become positive (the inside of the membrane is now positive relative to the outside). The sodium channels open only briefly, then close again.
172 173
The potassium channels then open, and, because there is more potassium inside the membrane than outside, positively-charged potassium ions diffuse out. As these positive ions go out, the inside of the membrane once again becomes negative with respect to the outside (Animation: Voltage-gated channels).
Threshold stimulus & potential Action potentials occur only when the membrane in stimulated (depolarized) enough so that sodium channels open completely. The minimum stimulus needed to achieve an action potential is called the threshold stimulus. The threshold stimulus causes the membrane potential to become less negative (because a stimulus, no matter how small, causes a few sodium channels to open and allows some positively-charged sodium ions to diffuse in). If the membrane potential reaches the threshold potential (generally 5 – 15 mV less negative than the resting potential), the voltage-regulated sodium channels all open. Sodium ions rapidly diffuse inward, & depolarization occurs.
All-or-None Law – action potentials occur maximally or not at all. In other words, there’s no such thing as a partial or weak action potential. Either the threshold potential is reached and an action potential occurs, or it isn’t reached and no action potential occurs.
Refractory periods
ABSOLUTE
• During an action potential, a second stimulus will not produce a second action potential (no matter how strong that stimulus is)
• corresponds to the period when the sodium channels are open (typically just a millisecond or less)
174 175
RELATIVE
• Another action potential can be produced, but only if the stimulus is greater than the threshold stimulus
• corresponds to the period when the potassium channels are open (several milliseconds)
• the nerve cell membrane becomes progressively more ‘sensitive’ (easier to stimulate) as the relative refractory period proceeds. So, it takes a very strong stimulus to cause an action potential at the beginning of the relative refractory period, but only a slightly above threshold stimulus to cause an action potential near the end of the relative refractory period
The absolute refractory period places a limit on the rate at which a neuron can conduct impulses, and the relative refractory period permits variation in the rate at which a neuron conducts impulses. Such variation is important because it is one of the ways by which our nervous system recognizes differences in stimulus strength, e.g., dim light = retinal cells conduct fewer impulses per second vs. brighter light = retinal cells conduct more impulses per second.
How does the relative refractory period permit variation in rate of impulse conduction? Let’s assume that the relative refractory period of a neuron is 20 milliseconds long and, further, that the threshold stimulus
for that neuron (as determined, for example, in a lab experiment with that neuron) is 0.5 volt. If that neuron is continuously stimulated at a level of 0.5 volt, then an action potential (and impulse) will be generated every 20 milliseconds (because once an action potential has been generated with a threshold stimulus [and ignoring the absolute refractory period], another action potential cannot occur until the relative refractory period is over). So, in this example, the rate of stimulation (and impulse conduction) would be 50 per second (1 sec = 1000 ms; 1000 ms divided by 20 ms = 50).
If we increase the stimulus (e.g., from 0.5 volt to 1 volt), what happens to the rate at which action potentials (and impulses) occur? Because 1 volt is an above-threshold stimulus, it means that, once an actional potential has been generated, another one will occur in less than 20 ms or, in other words, before the end of the relative refractory period. Thus, in our example, the increased stimulus will increase the rate of impulse conduction above 50 per second. Without more information, it’s not possible to calculate the exact rate. However, it’s sufficient that you understand that increasing stimulus strength will result in an increase in the rate of impulse conduction.
Impulse conduction – an impulse is simply the movement of action potentials along a nerve cell. Action potentials are localized (only affect a small area of nerve cell membrane). So, when one occurs, only a small area of membrane depolarizes (or ‘reverses’ potential). As a result, for a split second, areas of membrane adjacent to each other have opposite charges (the depolarized membrane is negative on the outside & positive on the inside, while the adjacent areas are still positive on the outside and negative on the inside). An electrical circuit (or ‘mini-circuit’) develops between these oppositely-charged areas (or, in other words, electrons flow between these areas). This ‘mini-circuit’ stimulates the adjacent area and, therefore, an action potential occurs. This process repeats itself and action potentials move down the nerve cell membrane. This ‘movement’ of action potentials is called an impulse.

Conduction Velocity
• impulses typically travel along neurons at a speed of anywhere from 1 to 120 meters per second the speed of conduction can be influenced by:
• the diameter of a fiber
• the presence or absence of myelin
• Neurons with myelin (or myelinated neurons) conduct impulses much faster than those without myelin.
Myelination, the process by which glial cells ensheath the axons of neurons in layers of myelin, ensures the rapid conduction of electrical impulses in the nervous system. The formation of myelin sheaths is one of the most spectacular examples of cell-cell interaction and coordination in nature. Myelin sheaths are formed by the vast membranous extensions of glial cells: Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS). The axon is wrapped many times (like a Swiss roll) by these sheetlike membrane extensions to form the final myelin sheath, or internode. Internodes can be as long as 1 mm and are separated from their neighbors by a short gap (the node of Ranvier) of 1 micrometer. The concentration of voltage-dependent sodium channels in the axon membrane at the node, and the high electrical resistance of the multilayered myelin sheath, ensure that action potentials jump from node to node (a process termed “saltatory conduction”) (ffrench-Constant 2004).
Schwann cells (or oligodendrocytes) are located at regular intervals along the process (axons and, for some neurons, dendrites) & so a section of a myelinated axon would look like this:
Between areas of myelin are non-myelinated areas called the nodes of Ranvier. Because fat (myelin) acts as an insulator, membrane coated with myelin will not conduct an impulse. So, in a myelinated neuron, action potentials only occur along the nodes and, therefore, impulses ‘jump’ over the areas of myelin – going from node to node in a process called saltatory conduction (with the word saltatory meaning ‘jumping’):
The myelin sheath (blue) surrounding axons (yellow) is produced by glial cells (Schwann cells in the PNS, oligodendrocytes in the CNS). These cells produce large membranous extensions that ensheath the axons in successive layers that are then compacted by exclusion of cytoplasm (black) to form the myelin sheath. The thickness of the myelin sheath (the number of wraps around the axon) is proportional to the axon’s diameter.

neurons – conducting impulses into the central nervous system.
Bipolar neurons have two processes – one axon & one dendrite. These neurons are also sensory. For example, biopolar neurons can be found in the retina of the eye.
Neuroglial, or glial, cells – general functions include:
- forming myelin sheaths
- protecting neurons (via phagocytosis)
- regulating the internal environment of neurons in the central nervous system
Synapse = point of impulse transmission between neurons; impulses are transmitted from pre- synaptic neurons to post-synaptic neurons
Because the impulse ‘jumps’ over areas of myelin, an impulse travels much faster along a myelinated neuron than along a non-myelinated neuron.
Types of Neurons – the three main types of neurons are:
Multipolar neuron | Unipolar neuron | Bipolar neuron
Multipolar neurons are so-named because they have many (multi-) processes that extend from the cell body: lots of dendrites plus a single axon. Functionally, these neurons are either motor (conducting impulses that will cause activity such as the contraction of muscles) or association (conducting impulses and permitting ‘communication’ between neurons within the central nervous system).
Unipolar neurons have but one process from the cell body. However, that single, very short, process splits into longer processes (a dendrite plus an axon). Unipolar neurons are sensory
180 181
Synapses usually occur between the axon of a pre-synaptic neuron & a dendrite or cell body of a post-synaptic neuron. At a synapse, the end of the axon is ‘swollen’ and referred to as an end bulb or synaptic knob. Within the end bulb are found lots of synaptic vesicles (which contain neurotransmitterchemicals) andmitochondria(whichprovide ATPtomakemoreneurotransmitter). Between the end bulb and the dendrite (or cell body) of the post-synaptic neuron, there is a gap commonly referred to as the synaptic cleft. So, pre- and post-synaptic membranes do not actually come in contact. That means that the impulse cannot be transmitted directly. Rather, the impulse is transmitted by the release of chemicals called chemical transmitters (or neurotransmitters).
Micrograph of a synapse (Schikorski and Stevens 2001).
Structural features of a typical nerve cell (i.e., neuron) and synapse. This drawing shows the major components of a typical neuron, including the cell body with the nucleus; the dendrites
183
that receive signals from other neurons; and the axon that relays nerve signals to other neurons at a specialized structure called a synapse. When the nerve signal reaches the synapse, it causes the release of chemical messengers (i.e., neurotransmitters) from storage vesicles. The neurotransmitters travel across a minute gap between the cells and then interact with protein molecules (i.e., receptors) located in the membrane surrounding the signal-receiving neuron. This interaction causes biochemical reactions that result in the generation, or prevention, of a new nerve signal, depending on the type of neuron, neurotransmitter, and receptor involved (Goodlett and Horn 2001).
Synapse
the membrane potential to become less negative (or, in other words, to approach the threshold potential). If enough neurotransmitter is released, and enough sodium channels are opened, then the membrane potential will reach threshold. If so, an action potential occurs and spreads along the membrane of the post-synaptic neuron (in other words, the impulse will be transmitted). Of course, if insufficient neurotransmitter is released, the impulse will not be transmitted.
When an impulse arrives at the end bulb, the end bulb membrane becomes more permeable to calcium. Calcium diffuses into the end bulb & activates enzymes that cause the synaptic vesicles to move toward the synaptic cleft. Some vesicles fuse with the membrane and release their neurotransmitter (a good example of exocytosis). The neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the cleft and fit into receptor sites in the postsynaptic membrane. When these sites are filled, sodium channels open & permit an inward diffusion of sodium ions. This, of course, causes
Impulse transmission – The nerve impulse (action potential) travels down the presynaptic axon towards the synapse, where it activates voltage-gated calcium channels leading to calcium influx, which triggers the simultaneous release of neurotransmitter molecules from many synaptic vesicles by fusing the membranes of the vesicles to that of the nerve terminal. The neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft, bind briefly to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to activate them, causing physiological responses that may be excitatory or inhibitory depending on the receptor. The neurotransmitter molecules are then either quickly pumped back into the presynaptic nerve terminal via transporters, are destroyed by enzymes near the receptors (e.g. breakdown of acetylcholine by cholinesterase), or diffuse into the surrounding area.
184 185
This describes what happens when an ‘excitatory’ neurotransmitter is released at a synapse. However, not all neurotransmitters are ‘excitatory.’
Types of neurotransmitters:
- Excitatory – neurotransmitters that make membrane potential less negative (via increased permeability of the membrane to sodium) &, therefore, tend to ‘excite’ or stimulate the postsynaptic membrane
- Inhibitory – neurotransmitters that make membrane potential more negative (via increased permeability of the membrane to potassium) &, therefore, tend to ‘inhibit’ (or make less likely) the transmission of an impulse. One example of an inhibitory neurotransmitter is gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA; shown below). Medically, GABA has been used to treat both epilepsy and hypertension. Another example of an inhibitory neurotransmitter is beta- endorphin, which results in decreased pain perception by the CNS.
Summation:
- Temporal summation – transmission of an impulse by rapid stimulation of one or more pre- synaptic neurons
- Spatial summation – transmission of an impulse by simultaneous or nearly simultaneous stimulation of two or more pre-synaptic neurons

Long-term high frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (hi-TNS) in chronic pain. Clinical response and effects on CSF-endorphins, monoamine metabolites, substance P-like immunoreactivity (SPLI) and pain measures.
Almay BG, Johansson F, von Knorring L, Sakurada T, Terenius L.
Eighteen patients with chronic pain syndromes of organic origin were treated by means of high frequency transcutaneous nerve stimulation (hi-TNS). The CSF levels of receptorassayable Fraction I and II endorphins, substance P-like immunoreactivity (SPLI), and the monoamine metabolites 5-HIAA, HVA and MOPEG were measured before and after one week of daily treatment. Furthermore, the effects on experimental pain measures were determined. The therapeutic effect was evaluated after 30 days and 3 months of treatment. Patients with low initial concentrations of endorphins in CSF, lower than those observed in healthy volunteers, tended to have the best response to hi-TNS. There were significant increases in Fraction I endorphins and SPLI in CSF, most pronounced in the patients who responded. There were no significant changes in 5-HIAA, HVA or MOPEG in CSF. However, in early responders, the serotonin metabolite 5-HIAA tended to decrease as contrasted to an increase in non-responders. The difference between the groups was statistically significant. Confirming our earlier studies, the therapy induced changes in pain measures showed a significant, positive correlation with increasing Fraction I endorphins in CSF. Our results suggest that hi-TNS induces central changes in the endorphinergic, serotonergic and possibly substance-P-ergic systems

Summary
Regulation of intracellular pH is an essential function and may be especially significant in the B-cell in which the influence of glucose on electrical activity is modulated by alterations in pH. Two possible regulatory processes have been examined: Na/H and HCO3/Cl exchange, by using inhibitors, an ionophore, and changes of ionic concentrations. In the presence of 11.1MM glucose we found that DIDS, an inhibitor of anion exchange, elicited a dose-response increase in the relative duration of the active phase with an ED50 of 99 M. Probenecid (0.5MM), an inhibitor of anion fluxes, also augmented the electrical activity (EA) due to glucose. Withdrawal of HCO 3 – elicited constant spike activity followed by a resumption of burst activity with a greater duration of the active phase compared to control.
These data are consistent with predicted cellular acidification. However, reduction of Cl o – by isethionate substitution produced no marked effect on EA. In contrast, Cl o – substitution for Cl– resulted in variable effects characterized by constant spike activity or a decrease in the duration of the active and silent phases along with silent hyperpolarization. Tributyltin, a Cl/OH, ionophore enhanced EA at 0.25 M with 120MM Cl o – , but reduced EA with 10MM Cl– as would be predicted with either cellular acidification or alkalinization, respectively. Amiloride at 100 M elicited constant spike activity perhaps due to inhibition of Na/H exchange. Reduction of Na o +
from 142.8 to 40.8MM had a similar effect and enhanced the influence of amiloride. It appears therefore that interference with putative pH regulatory mechanisms in the B-cell are consistent with the hypothesis that cell pH is involved in regulation of EA.

The quantity of blood measured by electrical impedance plethysmography is defined by its resistive effect in parallel to the resistance of other tissue of the segment. By substitution of this parallel resistive value, together with data relative to the resistivity of blood and the length of the segment in the formula for the volume of an electrical conductor, we are able to derive the volume of the pulse in cubic centimeters. It follows that the volume displaced from the venous reservoir and the rate of refilling of the venous reservoir of an extremity may also be determined quantitatively.

Summary
We explore relationships between brain electrical activity and cognitive performance where qEEG data are correlated with psychological variables gathered at a different time. For a population of 202 healthy adults using univariate and multivariate correlation techniques in a split half replication design, we confirm prior findings that subjects with better psychological scores show shorter evoked potential (EP) latency, suggesting that speed of processing is an important factor in cognitive performance. By canonical correlation we demonstrate a consistent, replicable relationship between electrophysiological and behavioral data. We suggest that reliance upon univariate correlation may have fueled early controversies about relationships between electrophysiology and IQ. In addition we correlate psychological factors with the entire qEEG data set (both EP and spectral analyzed EEG) and demonstrate the use a multidimensional image graphics techniques to assist in visual assessment of the resulting correlation matrices.

Whole-body impedance–what does it measure?

• Department of Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 19104-6392, USA
Although the bioelectrical impedance technique is widely used in human nutrition and clinical research, an integrated summary of the biophysical and bioelectrical bases of this approach is lacking. We summarize the pertinent electrical phenomena relevant to the application of the
impedance technique in vivo and discuss the relations between electrical measurements and biological conductor volumes. Key terms in the derivation of bioelectrical impedance analysis are described and the relation between the electrical properties of tissues and tissue structure is discussed. The relation between the impedance of an object and its geometry, scale, and intrinsic electricalpropertiesisalsodiscussed. Correlationsbetweenwhole-bodyimpedancemeasurements and various bioconductor volumes, such as total body water and fat-free mass, are experimentally well established; however, the reason for the success of the impedence technique is much less clear. The bioengineering basis for the technique is critically presented and considerations are proposed that might help to clarify the method and potentially improve its sensitivity.

Summary
We have shown that it is reasonable to expect from the nerve sectioning studies on resistance of the skin and on the galvanic reflex, that a valid, standard technique can be worked out to give an index of sympathetic nerve reactivity, but that a systematic study of techniques and of the relationship between measures is a necessary first step toward such a measure if it is to be valid. Our experimental results indicate that curves for basic resistance vary with location of skin area and with technique used. Measurements with an ordinary standard Wheatstone bridge and a source of 1 1/2 volts gave no indication of a relationship to the functions under nervous control. Richter’s technique was apparently more sensitive in that it shows a greater range of variation, though we are not yet satisfied as to the exact nature of the electrical phenomena which the technique measures. We plan to make a more extensive study with simultaneous measures and to use still other techniques.
In closing we wish to stress two points which we have raised in this paper. First, that resistance and galvanic reflex curves from differing techniques cannot be assumed to be comparable until shown to be so; and second, previous experimental and clinical studies, indicate that valid measures of electrical skin phenomena when developed should provide valuable indices of neurological and physiological functions.

Abstract
A global and momentous research project was developed for the last two years. The SCIO device is a Universal ElectroPhysiological device used for stress reduction and patient treatment. Over 2,200 qualified biofeedback therapists joined our Ethics Committee study to evaluate how stress reduction using the SCIO device could help a wide variety of diseases.
The device and thus the study has insignificant risk. There was a staff of medical doctors who designed and supervised the study.
Over 98,000 patients gave informed consent and participated in the study. The study would conclusively prove safety and efficacy of the SCIO Device. With over 60% of these patients having multiple visits. There were over 275,000 patient visits. With a total record of the SCIO patient information, therapy parameters and reactivity data. No names of patients were recorded for confidentiality.
Two of the 2,256 therapists were given blank devices that were completely visually the same but were none functional. These two blind therapists were then given patients to be in the placebo group. This was to evaluate the double blind component of the placebo effect as compared to the device. Thus the studied groups were a placebo group, and a treatment group. To measure the effect more clearly some of the treatment SCIO group were then moved into the placebo group, some of the placebo group were moved into the treatment SCIO group. the results confirm the safety and efficay of the SCIO in stress reduction versus placebo testing.
This is just the first study in a long task of analysis in truly break down the data totally. This study verifies the safety and efficacy of the SCIO device. There were small effects seen in the placebo group and statistical effects in the treatment group.
Introduction
This research is to study millions of people with a wide variety of diseases to see who gets or feels better while using the SCIO for stress reduction and patient monitoring. The SCIO is a evoked potential Universal ElectroPhysiological Medical apparatus that gauges how a individual reacts to miscellaneous homeopathic substances. The device is registered in Europe, America, Canada, S Africa, S. America, Mexico and elsewhere. The traditional software is fully registered. Some additional functions where determined by the manufacturer to be worthy of evaluation. Thus a study was necessary to determine safety and efficacy.
An ethics committee was formed and governmental permission attained to do the insignificant risk study. Qualified registered and or licensed Biofeedback therapists where enlisted to perform the study. Therapists were enrolled from all over the world including N. America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and S. America. They were trained in the aspects of the study and how to attain informed consent and transmit the results to the ethics committee or IRB (Institutional Review Board).
2,256 therapists enlisted in the study. There were 95,832 patients. 69% had more than one visit. 43% had over two visits. There were over 320,000 patient visits recorded. The therapists were trained and supervised by medical staff. They were to perform the SCIO therapy and analysis. They were to report any medical suspected or confirmed diagnosis. Unlicenced personnel are not to diagnose. Then the therapist is to inquire on any reported changes during the meeting and on
follow-ups any measured variations.
• Part 1. The emphasis was on substantiating safety followed by efficacy of the SCIO.
• Part 2. Proving the efficacy of the stress reduction aspects of the SCIO
• Part 3. The positive effects on diseases are explored in this study
Methods and Materials
SCIO Device
The SCIO is a Universal Electro-Physiological Medical biofeedback device that measures how a person reacts to items. It is designed to measure reactions for allergy, homeopathy, nutrition, sarcodes, nosodes, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and many more items. Biofeedback is used for pre-diagnostic work and or therapy.
The SCIO software will allow the unconscious of the patient to guide to repair electrical and vibrational aberrations in your body. For complete functional details and pictures, see appendix.
SOC Index
The SCIO interview opens with a behavioral medicine interview. This is called the SOC Index. Named after the work of Samuel Hahneman the father of homeopathy, he said that the body heals itself with it’s innate knowledge. But the patient can suppress or obstruct the healing process with some behavior. Hahneman said that the worst way to interfere with the healing natural process was allopathy or synthetic drugs. Theses upset the natural healing process by unnatural intervention and regulation disturbance. Other ways to Suppress or Obstruct the Cure are smoking, mercury amalgams, stress, lack of water, exercise and many others. This behavioral survey then gives an index of SOC.
The scores relate to the risk of Suppression and Obstruction to the natural Cure. The higher the scores the more the Suppression and or Obstruction. The scores of 100 or lower are ideal. A copy of the SOC index questions appear in the appendix.
Study Technicians
The study technicians were educated and supervised by medical officers and medical doctors. All of the work was supervised by licensed health care professionals. The study technicians were to execute the SCIO therapy and analysis. All were trained to the standards of the International Medical University of Natural Education. Therapists from all over the world including N. America, Europe, Africa, Asia, S. America and elsewhere were enlisted to perform the study according to the 1951 Helsinki study ethics regulations since updated.
They were to chronicle any medical suspected or confirmed diagnosis.
Unlicenced personnel are not to diagnose. Then the study technician is to inquire on any disclosed observations during the test and on follow-ups report any measured changes.
To test the device against the placebo effect, two of the 2,256 therapists were given placebo SCIO devices that were totally outwardly the same but were not functional. These two blind therapists were then assigned 35 patients each (only 63 showed). This was to assess the double blind factor
196 197
of the placebo effect as compared to the device. Thus the studied groups were
A. placebo group, and B. Treatment Group.
Important Questions: these are the key questions of the study
- Define Diseases or Patient Concerns
- Percentage of Improvement in Symptoms
- Percentage of Improvement in Feeling Better
- Percentage of Improvement Measured
- Percentage of Improvement in Stress Reduction
- Percentage of Improvement in SOC Behavior
- What Measured+How
- If Patient worsened please describe in detail involving SOC_
After the patient visit is was complete the data was e-mailed to the Ethics Committee or IRB for storage and then analysis. This maneuver minimized the risk of data loss or tampering. Case studies were reported separately in the disease analysis.
Part 1. Results
Before we review the direct disease improvement profiles, we need to review the overall results. The first most basic of question in the results is the basic feedback of the generic patient conditions. With over 96,000 patients and 256,800 patient visits we have direct evidence of the safety and efficacy.
- Percentage of Improvement in Symptoms
- Percentage of Improvement in Feeling Better
- Percentage of Improvement Measured
- Percentage of Improvement in Stress Reduction
- Percentage of Improvement in SOC Behavior
The SOC index gives us great insight to this study. Each disease has a different cut off where the ability of the SCIO to help was compromised. As a general index scores of 200 + where much less successful.

Discussion
There are several quite apparent results from our study. First the safety of the device is firmly established as a minimal risk. There is an insignificant report of small negative results and no reports of any significant problems.
There is a significant statistical evidence to show the effacicy of the device in reducing stress. comparisons with the placebo group show a dramatic increase in reported stress reduction.
Next there is a significant difference in the SOC Index. Patients below SOC Index 150 had significantly better results in all conditions. This points to value of behavioral medicine interview and the need to reduce suppression and obstruction of cure ability.
The major findings are the significant positive effect on healing the SOC Index and the harness have. Users should note this result.
The significant measured criteria of the diseases will take volumes in reporting. There are case studies and measured criteria that will be presented. This will be in a continuation of this study in part 2 of the data analysis of this large scale study.

Informed Consent:
The SCIO Biofeedback Medical device is registered in the Europe, S Africa, Mexico, Australia etc. It is a Biofeedback device that measures how a person reacts to items. It is designed to measure reactions for allergy, homeopathy, nutrition, sarcodes, nosodes, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and many more items. Biofeedback is used for pre-diagnostic or therapy. These functions are registered in all of the above regions. Maitreya manufactures the hardware.
At QX Ltd., we have written a software that uses the SCIO data This software offers no risk and is completely safe. We recognize that this new type of system needs to be tested experimentally. The USA allows us to develop an Institutional Review Board and operate an Investigational Device Exemption for this software as long as all proper FDA policies are adhered to.. To use this software in the USA we need to get informed consent from the patients or persons who are tested. Non- Significant Risk Informed consent must be signed, implied, or understood.
The registered SCIO software and hardware uses a micro current medically safe pulse applied to the wrists, ankles and forehead. We safely measure some of the electrical aspects of the body. A variant micro current is then adapted to the patient to feedback the signal. The SCIO software will use the same medically safe standards to develop a wider range of variant wave forms to the body. The patient will choose and direct the therapy by their unconscious electrical reactions. This will help the therapist and the patient choose items that might be helpful. These choices are voluntary suggestions. The patient can greatly benefit from help with these choices. No items of significant risk are possible. These items are not part of the study and purchase of them is the patient’s responsibility.
There is insignificant risk and the only discomfort is sitting still for the 30 or 40 min evaluation. The patient name will be held confidential in the study. Participation is always purely voluntary. There is no penalty for withdraws. The other facts of the case are e-mailed to QX ltd IRB. But
200 201
confidentiality is always guaranteed.
The results of the studies are to be published on the International Journal of the Medical Science of Homeopathy. These results are available in 2008 on the internet or through your therapist. Over 35 studies on the device have already been published.
Since there are over 20,000 SCIO machines around the world, and all have access to the SCIO software, assuming 10 patient visits a week there might be over 400,000 data streams per month. We fully expect over a million bits of data in the first year alone. We will analyze all types of diseases – all types of clients – in one of the world’s largest studies of its kind. We welcome your participation.
The clinical therapist is responsible for ensuring that informed consent is obtained from each research subject before that subject participates in the research study. FDA does not require the therapist to personally conduct the consent interview. The therapist remains ultimately responsible, even when delegating the task of obtaining informed consent to another individual knowledgeable about the research.
The Centro Ricerche of Prof. William Nelson University of Venice + Padova, Italy Is the headquarters for the study IRB. There are researchers in over 25 different countries.
I am informed of the experiment on the SCIO software. I willingly give my consent to participate in the study. I give my consent for any children under my supervision or custody. I am to be guaranteed confidentiality of the data. I will be allowed to see the results of the publication in roughly one year. I recognize that there is no firm diagnosis resulting from the software. We are diagnosing and treating only Stress via Biofeedback.

Basic SCIO System Description
The SCIO system is a Universal Electro-Physiological Patient Interface. It can measure changes of electrical nature such as electro-potential, micro-amperage, voltage, galvanic skin resistance. This allows inference of oscillations, frequency, capacitance, electrostatic potential, inductance, electromagnetic potential, susceptance, reactance, micro-wattage, resonant frequency, oxidation potential, hydration potential, and proton versus electron pressure.
The basic science was generated by Prof. William Nelson. His book the PROMORPHEUS was registered in it’s first form by the Library of Congress USA in 1982. Thus book introduces the concepts of the SCIO.
The basic technology was developed in 1985 and was registered as the EPFX in America in 1989. The EPFX stands for the acronym Electro-Physiological Feedback Xrroid. A Xrroid is the rapid testing of homeopathic medicines by an electrical reactivity device. The reactions are of a ionic nature as they reflect electro-potential changes. The speed of ionic exchange in the human body is approximately one hundredth of a second. So a computer device was needed for such testing.
Analysis of the trivector field of a homeopathic is developed in this work and patented in Ireland in 1995. All substances have a particular volt-ametric or polography field. By description of the right hand rule all electrical activity takes place in three dimensions, Conductivity, Static, and Magnetic. An advanced three dimensional field analysis device known as the QQC was made and patented by William Nelson.
Since the measure of galvanic skin resistance requires a applied current, the applied current could be of the trivector analysis variety. The applied current could also be used for electro- therapy. Aberrant electrical patterns of the patient could be corrected by application of electrodynamic theory. When electricity flows thru healthy tissue it has a known result. When it flows thru injured or diseased tissue it has a different result. Application of electrodynamic theory produces the ability of the SCIO device to treat and correct injured or diseased tissue. This process is known as rectification.
These trivector signatures could be computerized and duplicated by the computer. A quantic coherency test kit was coupled to the system to improve data. The SCIO was then able to measure before and after electro potential changes to determine reactivity and susceptance. Providing a reactivity profile. When this is done at biological speeds of about one hundredth of a second it is called the Xrroid.
Thus the SCIO system could measure the basic elements of the body electric. Aberrant reactivity patterns could also be corrected using the principles of bioresonance in a process also known as rectification of electrical patterns.
The Electro-Physiological-Feedback-Xrroid / SCIO is also a biofeedback system. The definition of biofeedback is measuring a physiological response and feeding it back to the patient. Most of the
202 203
devices feedback the information primarily to the conscious and thus then to the unconscious of the patient. The EPFX-SCIO system differs in that it feeds back the information or signal to the unconscious primarily and conscious secondarily. The unconscious should be directing these autonomic processes. So our device focuses on repairing the unconscious link directly.
Feedback of electro physiological processes are given as relaxation signals to the patient. The EPFX system measures a combination of the following physiological functions, voltage potential, current potential, skin resistance, Electro Physiological Reactance, Electro Physiological Susceptance, skin temperature and Frequency. These are the raw readings made at the extremities and the head harness. (see Diagram). The EPFX system applies a variant set of signals and then measures changes in the readings. The changes determine resonance, reactivity and coherency.
The QQC is a trademarked and proprietary process that does an analysis of the Polographic or voltametric three dimensional electrical pattern of a substance. This produces a substance electronic signature field. The Fields of these substances are sent into the patient via the harness. These variant patterns are of 0 Hz to mega Hz and of variant wave forms.
The total current is never over 5 milliamps. This represents a safe system rated as insignificant risk. All medical safety tests and quality control processes are applied.
The patient is evaluated before and after stimulation to measure any evoked potential changes that show patient reactivity. The type intensity and style of reactivity evoked potential offers insight into the patient health. Types of item reacting can be a link to therapy or deeper diagnosis.
The variant wave forms are trivector (voltammetric signatures of the Acupuncture points, nosodes, sarcodes, allersodes, etc.) This allows Electro-Physiological-Reactivity measurements (EPR).
The evoked potential differences (EPR) are used to show a provocative allergy component. Provocative allergy tests show how a patient reacts electro physiologically to an item. Changes in histamine and other allergic reactions are preceded by electrical reactivity.
The EPFX measures the Electrophysiologic Reactivity intensity of the patient to thousands of QQC trivector patterns. These are patterns of reactions to Sarcodes, Nosodes, Allersodes, Isodes, Nutritional, Acupuncture points, Herbal, Imponderable and Classic Homeopathics. The reaction patterns or profiles can relate disturbances of the patient. Therapies can then be arranged to develop harmonic reactions, desensitizations, biological resonance or rectification processes. Biofeedback is the operation that allows for the cybernetic loop of systemic feedback. The loop of measured reaction and bio-varied resonance response allow for a true feedback for self corrective Electrophysioloigcal therapy. Hence it is called the Electro Physiological Feedback Xrroid or as known in Europe SCIO.

EPFX / SCIO – USE AND CLAIMS FOR THE DEVICE
EPFX / SCIO use and claim: Professional Biofeedback for Stress Detection and Stress Reduction.
We need to make very clear the use and thus claims for the EPFX Electro_Physiological_Feedback_ Xrroid. The device has been legally FDA registered and marketed in America for twenty years.
The device is designed to measure and mend the body electric stress through a cybernetic biofeedback loop. It is designed and registered to send in a volt_ammetric electrical signal into the body, and then measure the reactivity or response to this signal. We measure the Volts, Amps, Oscillations of Volts and Amps, the Skin Resistance to the input signal, the Skin Temperature, and then calculate some virtual mathematical responses from the readings. All of this must happen at absolutely safe levels and adhere to stringent regulatory laws of the World government agencies
. First do no harm is the primary law of medicine, It is our Prime Directive.
In other words we stimulate the body with a small safe electrical measure of the body electric, calculate the reaction, stimulate again, re_measure, calculate, re_stimulate, and on and on in a cybernetic biofeedback loop. A loop designed to give awareness feedback on stressors, and to reduce stress. Thus the simple use statement and claims are the device is designed for biofeedback stress detection and stress reduction. There are those who do not agree of the power of stress reduction, but their views do not change the claims for the EPFX. There is a vast amount of research showing the positive effects of stress reduction. Psycho-Somatic medicine has been proven for many decades. The Psycho-Neuro-Immuno link of the body is well documented. There is now the science of Psycho-Neuro-Immuno-Soma PNIS science, where the mind effects the neurology, the immunity, the body, and they all interact on each other.
The volt_ammetric signals are the volt_ammetric electro_chemical trivector signals calculated from the QQC device a registered medical device in Europe. The signals test homeopathic reactions to nosodes, sarcodes, allersodes, isodes, classical homeopathics, imponderables, hormones, enzymes, herbals, vitamins and other supplements. The skin resistance and electrical reactions to these compounds give us a Electro_Physiological_Reactivity (EPR)pattern. These reactions are not assuredly reliable, so please do not over react, but check any problem with more standard diagnostic means or refer to medical doctors who can.
Many many medical studies have shown that the EPFX / SCIO is helpful in treating a host of different diseases. The International Journal of the Medical Science of Homeopathy ISSN 14170876 has published over 100 such studies. The studies have proven the EPFX / SCIO therapy safe free from any significant risk. The studies have shown an Universal effectiveness, but the effect is from the original claim: Stress Detection (awareness) and Stress Reduction. Thus the EPFX device is designed for use on patients with some stress.
But even though the results are highly significant there is not enough evidence or need to readjust the original use and claims. Stress Detection and
Stress Reduction are much more than enough. Even though Europe has allowed registration of many more claims, humbly we still maintain the simple, universal, unquestionable, and modest use and claim:
207
Stress Detection and Stress Reduction. Please do the same, offer no more claims than this.
In the medicine of Hans Selye, it is seen that stressors are the paramount problem in health care. All diseases start with a stressor and thus Stress Detection and Stress Reduction are truly early intervention health care.
With the Selye stress pathway of disease, we can see a universal, safe, and very effective way of helping people. By combining the Selye Stress systrm and the energetic medicine of the body electric we have for over twenty years developed a safe effective and legal system of biofeedback stress reduction medicine. The EPFX / SCIO device is sold only to professionals and under the order of a licensed health care professional. The SCIO bioresonance – biofeedback therapists are rigorously trained to :
- Use safe forms of Stress Detection and Stress Reduction
- Do a behavioral assay of how the patient may be suppressing and or obstructing their own natural innate curative process.
- To refer to the patient’s medical doctors, work with the system of medicine not to interfere with any doctors program.
- Try to increase patient awareness, education, and enthusiasm.
- This education is exactingly supervised by the International Medical University of Natural Education. IMUNE
EPFX / SCIO use and claim: Professional Biofeedback for Stress Detection and Stress Reduction.
Stress Selye and the FLOW OF DISEASE
Disease starts when a stressor or blockage of flow causes a disruption in the flow. The ease is now dis-ease. Hans Selye outlined a medical system were disease comes into the body as some sort of stressor. This produces an ALARM reaction phase as that the body is trying to deal with the incoming stress. Thus the symptom is the ALARM reaction. If we fight the symptom not the cause we can interfere with healing. So when our child is exposed to a stress (like a bacteria from another child) a symptom presents, such as a sore throat. The symptom is sign of a disease in flow. The immune system needs help when it is burdened by stress. There is a proved Psycho-Immuno- Neuro link of the body that responds to any stress reduction.
As the stress continues the body acclimates and goes into the ADAPTATION phase. Here the symptom goes away from familiarization. But the disease progresses deeper. We now come to an ultra important conclusion that must change medicine forever. BEING SYMPTOM FREE IS NOT A SIGN OF HEALTH. In fact you can be symptom free and quite sick. Allopathy is for crisis intervention only.
If the stressor continues the body now progresses from the ADAPTATION phase to the EXHAUSTION phase. Here organs weaken. The first form
They make less or excess hormones, enzy
After a while they slip into the ORGANIC (atrophy) or grow(hypertrophy).
There now is a physical disease. If the stressor continues the last phase results which is DEATH. Cellular death, organ death, organ system death, organism death. The next diagram relates the flow of disease.
HEALTH
STRESSOR (TOXIN ETC)—–>>———->>>
• ADAPTATION
• EXHAUSTION
• FUNCTIONAL
• ORGANIC
• DEATH
The causes of disease or possible stressors are:
LACK OF AWARENESS TOXICITY
STRESS TRAUMA INJURY
HEREDITY PATHOGENS
ALLERGY PERVERSE ENERGY
MENTAL FACTORS DEFICIENCY OR EXCESS OF NUTRIENTS
When these enter the body they disrupt the ease of flow. This produces the Alarm symptom. Then the body adapts, symptoms go away, but if the cause continues the disease continues. Degeneration awaits.
BEING SYMPTOM FREE IS NOT A SIGN OF HEALTH.
The ability to restore or heal the body is based on how much life force the body has. This has an electrical component. The life force can be suppressed or obstructed by lifestyle or stress. This is the SOC index in the SCIO software.
With the advent of fractal and chaos theory we have seen the end of reductionism as a basis for medicine. The Selye system of medicine is all based on removing the stressors and thus their mutual interactions . Stress reduction combined with a behavioral component now form a basis for a new addition to the medical community. The reductionistic diagnosis is left to others and with stress reduction and behavioral advise a complementary system of medical intervention can be very helpful.
In Nelson Natural Medicine the flow of treatment is as follows:
- Unblock the blockages to flow of energy in the body. Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Bioresonance, Biofeedback and other medical arts are dedicated to unblocking unbalances of flow.
- Reduce the symptoms with natural methods and naturopathy, and never Interfere with the other doctors advise. Synthetic medicines are to be used when all natural methods fail.
- Deal with the constitutional or metabolic typing, make up, or tendencies of the patient

LMRP Description Chronic pain is difficult and frustrating to manage, and patients who experience it are often viewed as being undesirable to treat. Patients with chronic pain are often characterized by low levels of activities of daily living (ADLs), a high demand for medication accompanied by physical and psychological dependency, high verbalization of pain, and the inability to work. In many cases, patients with chronic pain are so entrenched in pain behavior that a behavior modification approach is essential.
Pain rehabilitation programs are an innovative approach to the treatment of intractable pain. The goal of such programs is to give patient’’s the tools to manage and control their pain, and thereby, improve their ability to function independently. Indications and Limitations of Coverage and/or Medical Necessity Patient Medical Necessity Criteria
Services furnished under outpatient hospital pain rehabilitation programs are considered medically necessary and appropriate if:
- The patient’’s pain is attributable to a physical cause;
- The usual methods of treatment have not been successful in alleviating pain; and
- A significant loss of ability by the patient to function independently has resulted from pain. In addition, the following criteria must also be met:
- The patient must be under the care of a physician;
- The patient must have an evaluation which must include an evaluation of the physiological, psychological, and social aspects of pain;
- The patient must have an individualized treatment plan which is specific to their needs and functional limitations;
- The patient must exhibit limited functional status in relation to performance of ADLs;
- The patient must have the cognitive ability to understand and carry out instructions and must be compliant and cooperative; and
- The patient must demonstrate a high level of motivation to participate in their plan of care. The level of patient participation is usually measured by the team members and documented in the progress notes.
Clinical Guidelines
To enter the program, the patient must undergo an extensive evaluation. A problem-solving group attempts to identify the medical, behavioral, vocational, financial, social, and other significant problems of the patient. Coverage of services furnished under outpatient hospital pain rehabilitation programs, including services furnished in group settings under individualized plans of treatment, is available if the patient meets the criteria listed in this policy.
A pain rehabilitation program is one that employs a coordinated multidisciplinary team to deliver, in a controlled environment, a concentrated program which is designed to modify pain behavior through the treatment of physiological, psychological, and social aspects of pain. Such programs generally include diagnostic testing, skilled nursing, psychotherapy, structured progressive withdrawal from pain medication, physical therapy and occupational therapy to restore physical
212 213
fitness (mobility and endurance) to a maximal level within the constraints of a physical disability, and the use of mechanical devices and/or activities to relieve pain or modify a patient’’s reaction to it (e.g., nerve stimulator, hydrotherapy, massage, ice, systemic muscle relaxation training, and diversional activities). The activities of this program are under general supervision and, as needed, direct supervision of a physician.
The multidisciplinary pain approach begins with a complete clinical evaluation. Comprehensive medical and psychosocial evaluations with particular emphasis on functional capabilities and behavioral responses to pain are essential. Previous medical records should be obtained to avoid repeating appropriately performed studies and unsuccessful treatment approaches.
The multidisciplinary team functions at several levels within the treatment process. They attempt to identify and resolve documentable organic problems when present and to improve the patient’’s ability to cope with pain. In addition, considerable effort is devoted to improving the patient’’s functional outcome, as measured by increased activity time, improved activities of daily living, increased distance walked, and increased tolerance for specific homemaking or vocational activities.
Pain rehabilitation services must be rendered under a written plan of care/treatment. The plan must:
- Be consistent with the nature and severity of the individual’’s symptoms and diagnosis and tailored to meet their specific needs;
- Be reasonable in terms of the modality, amount, frequency, and duration of the treatment;
- Include services which are generally accepted by the professional community as safe and effective treatment for the purpose used;
- Be developed upon admission and establish specific individualized objectives, measurable, functional goals and how the goals will be met; and
- Be signed by a physician.
Each pain rehabilitation session should be documented and it should reflect the treatment provided and the patient’’s response toward their goals.
Diagnostic tests may be an appropriate part of pain rehabilitation programs. Such tests would be covered on an individual basis only when the diagnostic test can be reasonably related to the patient’’s illness, complaint, symptom, or injury, and when they do not represent an unnecessary duplication of tests previously performed. The average program will usually last 4 weeks on an inpatient or outpatient basis or a combination thereof.
Reasons for Denials. A pain rehabilitation service will be denied for the following circumstances: - When the services do not meet all the criteria listed in the “Indications and Limitations of Coverage and/or Medical Necessity” section of this policy.
- When a patient has a severe psychiatric disturbance which would not allow them to comprehend and retain new learning.
- When the documentation indicates that the patient is not demonstrating progress toward achieving stated goals within a reasonable period of time. The time frame is included on the plan of care.
- When the patient has attained his/her pain rehabilitation goals and does not require the skills of a qualified clinician.
- When the documentation indicates a duplication of services (e.g., an overlap of physical and occupational therapies).
- Some pain rehabilitation programs may utilize services and devices which are excluded from coverage, (e.g., acupuncture, vocational counseling). Some of the services that may be utilized have limited coverage criteria, (e.g., biofeedback, dorsal column stimulator, family counseling services). See Coverage Issues Manual (CIM) for coverage criteria.
- Pain rehabilitation will be considered noncovered when chronic pain has resulted from a mental condition, rather than from any physical cause.
- Chemical dependency should not be the primary diagnosis. The chemical dependency must be secondary to the pain syndrome
Documentation Requirements The following documentation must be maintained in the patient’’s medical record: - A physician order or referral for the Pain Rehabilitation services written by the treating physician (who evaluated the patient and determined that a medical need and rehabilitation potential exists).
- A copy of the evaluation/assessment performed by the treating physician which establishes that the patient has a medical need for Pain Rehabilitation services and rehabilitation potential.
- An evaluation/assessment of the patient performed by a physician and/or qualified staff members upon admission to the Pain Rehabilitation program to ensure the patient meets medical necessity criteria for the program.
- An individual treatment plan which contains an individualized problem list, the specific procedure or activity to be done and the responsible discipline, the frequency and duration of the service(s), individual treatment goals (which are objective, measurable, and functional) and a discharge plan. The treatment plan(s) must be dated and signed by the physician.
- Daily documentation (progress notes) which reflect the individualized activity, instruction given, the patient’’s response to the skilled service, and the patient’’s progress toward stated goals. The daily note must be signed by the qualified team member who rendered the service.
- Regular team conference notes that reflect the individual patient’’s goals and progress.
- Discharge summary to indicate the changes since the start of care, goals accomplished, the reason why goals were not achieved (if applicable), and the discharge plan.
Each progress note must be legible, dated, signed, and the credentials of the qualified person rendering the service must be present. In addition, if the HCPCS code billed is based on time, then the time spent by the provider in a face to face encounter with the patient should be documented.

Coverage Decision Memorandum for Electrodiagnostic Sensory Nerve Conduction Threshold
Date: February 14, 2002
This decision memorandum addresses a request for a national coverage determination received from Neurotron. The service for which coverage is requested is electrodiagnostic sensory nerve conduction threshold (sNCT) to be used to diagnose sensory neuropathies, such as diabetic sensory neuropathies, uremic sensory neuropathies, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The memorandum serves four purposes: (1) gives a general overview of select measures to assess sensory nerve function; (2) reviews the history of Medicare’s coverage policies regarding sensory nerve conduction threshold; (3) analyzes relevant scientific and clinical literature on the use of
sensory nerve conduction threshold and its impact as a diagnostic device on patient management for patients with sensory neuropathies; and (4) delineates the reasoning for our intention to issue a noncoverage determination.
Clinical Background
The nervous system is composed of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. One of the main functions of the nervous system is to collect sensory information. This information is then processed and interpreted in order to initiate appropriate responses throughout the body. A neuron is the basic structural unit of the nervous system. It is composed of a cell body and two types of processes, dendrites and axons. Neurons collect incoming (afferent) information through dendrites whereas axons conduct outgoing (efferent) signals away from the cell body. Nerve fibers are composed of bundles of axons held together by connective tissue.
Sensory nerves, which carry impulses from sensory receptors to the brain, are composed of one or more of the following three fibers: (1) small unmyelinated (C fibers) fibers conduct temperature and slow pain; (2) small myelinated (A delta fibers) fibers conduct pressure, temperature, and fast pain; and (3) large myelinated (A beta fibers) fibers conduct cutaneous touch and pressure.
Evaluating the function of sensory nerves may be of clinical importance for individuals who suffer from metabolic, hereditary, or acquired disorders, as well as those who have experienced a traumatic injury. There are several methods of evaluating sensory nerve function. Such tests include: (1) nerve conduction studies (NCS); (2) sensory nerve biopsy; and (3) sensory nerve conduction threshold (sNCT). Of these, NCS is the most commonly used and widely-accepted diagnostic test.
NCS is used to measure action potentials resulting from peripheral nerve stimulation. It can help determine the diagnosis, severity, location, and
distribution of a neuropathy and can assess the integrity of the axon and the myelin sheath (the insulation surrounding the axon). NCS can also detect dysfunction of both sensory and motor nerves. Typically, a nerve is stimulated with an electric shock at one location and a response is recorded at another location. Measurements include latency of response, conduction velocity, and amplitude of response. Of note, NCS primarily measures fast fibers. The test may cause mild discomfort from the shocks administered.
NCSisoftenperformedinconjunctionwithelectromyography(EMG). EMGisthestudyandrecording or intrinsic electrical properties of skeletal muscles. It provides information on neuropathies, especially in detection of denervation of axonal neuropathy. EMG can help differentiate muscle wasting of neuropathic versus myopathic origin. It also aids in the differentiation of entrapment neuropathies versus proximal radicular compression. EMG involves the insertion of a needle directly into a muscle to record electrical activity. The procedure can be painful.
Sensory nerve biopsy provides information about the extent of both axonal degeneration and of segmental demyelination. Biopsies are performed on a cutaneous nerve, typically the sural nerve.
sNCT is non-invasive and typically conducted by technicians under the supervision of a physician. The test is performed by applying disposable surface electrodes on the skin of the patient. Three mild electrical stimuli are applied to a peripheral nerve. Measures are obtained using a portable, 6-V battery powered, microprocessor controlled, constant alternating current sinusoid waveform
218 219
stimuli at intensities ranging from 0.01 mAmperes to 9.99 mAmperes and frequencies of 5 Hz, 250 Hz, and 2,000 Hz to, theoretically, assess the integrity of the three sensory nerve fiber types. The manufacturer asserts that abnormally high sNCT measures reportedly indicate a significant loss of nerve conduction, while abnormally low sNCT indicates a hyperesthetic state that corresponds with inflamed, irritated, or regenerating nerves. Typically, the procedure takes less than 30 minutes to complete.
Currently, there is only one sNCT device on the market, the Current Perception Threshold (CPT) by Neurotron. The CPT uses the minimal amount of painless transcutaneous electrical stimulus required to reproducibly evoke a sensation.
FDA Status
Neurotron received FDA 510(k) clearance in 1986 to market the electrodiagnostic sensory Nerve Conduction Threshold (sNCT)/CPT Neurometer for the evaluation of sensory nerve diseases and injuries. The predicate device was vibratory end-organ tester.
History of Medicare’s Coverage Policy on Sensory Nerve Conduction
Threshold
Currently, Medicare does not have a national coverage determination with regard to the use of sNCT devices in the evaluation of sensory neuropathies. Because some Medicare contractors have implemented local medical review policies describing this service as noncovered, Neurotron has requested a national coverage decision relating to the use of sNCT devices.
The benefit category appropriate for the sNCT/CPT Neurometer is set forth in section 1861(s)(3) of the Social Security Act (i.e., sNCT is a diagnostic test).
Timeline of Activities
• June 22, 2001 – Neurotron requests a national coverage determination.
• July 12, 2001 – Neurotron meets with medical officer and policy analysts in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, formerly known as the Health Care Financing Administration).
• November 16, 2001 – Neurtron meets with CMS review team.
General Principles for the Evaluation of Diagnostic Tests
When CMS reviews a diagnostic test for a national coverage decision, among other things, it evaluates the clinical effectiveness of the test for the Medicare population. CMS considers the usefulness and effectiveness of the test on patient management. 42 C.F.R. §§ 410.32. An important consideration in this review is an assessment of the accuracy and technical characteristics of the test as compared to other diagnostic modalities. The optimal comparison is between the test under review and the gold standard, if one exists. Measures used to determine accuracy include sensitivity (probability of a positive test result in a patient with a disease) and specificity (the probability of a negative test result in a patient who does not have the disease). An increase in sensitivity does not necessarily mean that a test is more accurate. Specificity must be evaluated when determining if one test is more accurate than the other, because a highly specific test minimizes the number of false positive. In addition, increasing sensitivity or specificity is often
accomplished at the expense of the other. However, even though a diagnostic test may be very accurate, if the information provided by the test does not alter management of the condition, CMS may determine that the test is not used in the medical management for the specific condition.
Summary of Evidence
In determining the articles that would be eligible for review, we used the following inclusion and exclusion criteria:
• Inclusion Criteria
• Articles must be published in English language
• Studies must have been conducted on human subjects
• Studies must have enrolled at least 10 patients
• Exclusion Criteria
• Editorials
• Abstracts
• Review Articles
• Published Letters/Comments
Using various combinations of the following search terms: “sensory nerve conduction” “neurometer” “current perception threshold,” a total of ten studies were obtained. In addition, several articles were submitted for consideration by the manufacturer. The following represents a brief summary of the relevant studies.
Rendell (1989) compared NCS, CPT and vibration threshold (VT) as correlates of clinical severity of diabetic sensory neuropathy. Seventy-one subjects with an average age of 52, who had a history of diabetes were recruited and subjected to sensory and motor NCS as well as CPT at 5, 250, and 2000 Hz of the upper and lower extremities. In addition, 28 of the 71 subjects had repeated evaluations at 2, 6, 10, and 12 months after the initial procedure. Each patient received a symptomatic score for the upper extremity and one for the lower extremity. The symptomatic score was obtained by asking the patient to describe his or her symptoms, which was then converted to a final grade by the examiner. Each patient also received a physical score that consisted of a neurological examination with an increased emphasis on the sensory portion of the examination. The sensory modalities assessed included light touch, pain, and thermal sensation. The symptomatic and physical scores were derived from the Neurological Symptom Score and the Neurological Disability Score proposed by Dyck for evaluating peripheral neuropathy. Spearman correlation coefficients between NCS, CPT, VT and the symptomatic and physical scores for the upper and lower extremities were calculated. Correlation coefficients of NCS with clinical scores were significant in most instances. The authors noted that coefficients of CPT with clinical scores appeared to be higher than for NCS in several instances. The authors also created a classification scheme for severity of symptoms. They reported that CPT was better at discriminating between severity classes than NCS. Data on clinical utility were not provided.
Weseley (1988) examined peripheral nerve integrity in 23 dialysis patients using CPT and NCS. The median and peroneal nerves were selected and the tests were performed bilaterally. CPT
220 221
was performed concurrently with dialysis. CPT and NCS measures were compared to previously established normative values. Grading the severity of the neuropathies was accomplished by using a concurrent test grade change, a convergent test grade change, a divergent test grade change, and a no test grade change. These measures were compared to those taken a year later. The authors reported that CPT and NCS were highly correlated but that CPT was more sensitive. Details of clinical diagnosis, clinical examinations, and testing conditions were not provided. There was also no discussion of clinical utility.
Menkes (2000) evaluated CPT as an adjunctive test for detection of acquired demyelinating polyneuropathies. The authors used normative data previously established for absolute CPT, side- to-side CPT ratios, and intrasite CPT ratios between different frequencies in order to determine if CPT testing can be used to diagnose demyelinating polyneuropathies. Ten patients with demyelinating polyneuropathies and 10 patients with axonal polyneuropathies were recruited. Diagnosisofdemyelinatingpolyneuropathywasbasedonthepresenceoftwoofthethreefollowing criteria: (1) clinical profile; (2) cerebrospinal fluid profile; and (3) NCS profile. Additional inclusion criteria for axonal polyneuropathy were based on NCS and EMG profiles. Ages ranged from 41- 78 years. The technologist using the CPT was blinded to the study hypothesis and the patients’ diagnoses. C2 spinal nerve distribution, lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve distribution, and sural nerve distribution were examined. The authors reported that CPT detected demyelinating polyneuropathies with 50% sensitivity and 100% specificity. They also stated that the diagnostic sensitivity was similar to those of other published diagnostic criteria. The diagnostic sensitivity of CPT testing for axonal polyneuropathies was reported as 70%. The authors concluded that CPT should be considered an adjunctive test to NCS and EMG in the diagnosis of demyelinating polyneuropathies. However, all patients in the study were diagnosed without using CPT. Also, the authors assert that CPT has similar sensitivity to other electrodiagnostic tests.
Katims (1989) studied 29 dialysis patients and compared the screening and evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome by CPT to NCS. Patients completed a questionnaire to identify symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). CPT was performed on the median, ulnar, and peroneal nerves during hemodialysis. CPT measurements were graded into classes of severity. CTS was diagnosed using CPT by determining the difference between the CPT grades from median and ulnar nerves in the same hand. NCS was only performed on the ulnar nerve if CTS was suspected. The authors reported that the “overall severity of the neuropathy detected by both tests from the median and peroneal nerves combined was highly correlated, r = 0.79 (p < 0.001). CPT yielded greater overall levels of detection sensitivity for neuropathy (92%) than did NCS for the medial and peroneal nerves combined.” The authors conclude that the study supports previous findings that “CPT is sensitive for quantitatively evaluating the integrity of sensory afferents and is significantly correlated with [NCS] findings.” In addition, CPT is diagnostic for CTS.
Katims (1986) performed CPT on 44 normal subjects and 33 diabetic patients. A limited neurological examination was also performed to determine the presence of peripheral neuropathy. Although not stated, it may be inferred that all the diabetic patients had evidence of neuropathy on clinical examination. The authors reported a sensitivity of 94% for detecting neuropathy in the diabetic patients when the detected abnormal measurements from the 5 Hz and 2000 Hz frequencies for the three body locations tested (face, index finger, great toe) were combined. Although CPT typically includes the use of 250 Hz stimuli, the article did not state whether or not such stimuli were used, and, if so, what results were obtained. CPT in the normal subjects without clinical
evidence of neuropathy varied significantly with age as well as the frequency and location of the stimulation. Because all patients presumably had signs of neuropathy on physical exam, but not all patients were diagnosed as having neuropathy based on CPT measurements, it is unclear from this study if CPT is more sensitive than a physical exam in detecting diabetic sensory peripheral neuropathy.
Masson (1989) performed a retrospective study that analyzed the use of CPT for the assessment of peripheral neuropathy in patients with type I or type II diabetes and then compared it to more traditional methods of quantifying nerve function. The authors recruited 31 healthy control subjects and 90 diabetic patients with type I or type II diabetes mellitus, with and without neuropathy to participate in the study. The participants were divided into 4 groups. The control group was group 1, while groups 2, 3, and 4 were composed of diabetics without neuropathy, diabetics with neuropathy, and diabetics with neuropathic ulcers, respectively. The study did not report how the presence or absence of neuropathy was determined. A cohort of 68 patients also had conventional assessment of peripheral nerve function, using a biothesiometer for the measurement of vibration perception threshold, a thermoaesthaesiometer for the measurement of warm thermal discrimination threshold, and peroneal motor conduction velocities. Ages ranged from 19-82 years. CPT measurements were significantly different between the neuropathy group versus the control group; the neuropathic ulcer group was also statistically different than the control group as well as the diabetics without neuropathy group. The authors reported statistically significant Spearman correlation coefficients (0.34 to 0.46) between 5 Hz and 250 Hz and thermal threshold, and between 2000 Hz and vibration perception threshold (0.42 to 0.69) and peroneal motor conduction velocity (-0.66). Sensory nerve conduction measurements were not reported. The authors state that these correlations suggest that CPT can provide information about the functional integrity of different fiber types. However, the authors point out that CPT may not directly stimulate nerve fibers but, instead, produce different sensations due to differential responses of cutaneous mechanoreceptors.
Ro (1999) performed CPT on patients with Fabry’s disease. These individuals are afflicted with an X-linked disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. The accumulation of glycolipids in dorsal root ganglia is responsible for the episodic burning pain and constant acroparesthesias experienced by these patients. Nerve biopsy specimens taken from these patients usually show loss of small myelinated and unmyelinated fibers. The study was designed to assess subjective complaints of pain and paresthesias as well as to compare the values of CPT and correlate NCS in detecting the sensory neuropathy. Sixteen patients from the same family (8 hemizygous men and 8 heterozygous women) were recruited for the study. Fifty healthy subjects were used as controls. All patients reported symptoms of neuropathic pain. They received a symptomatic score based on their self-graded symptoms. CPT was performed in the median and peroneal nerve distributions for all three stimuli (6 measurements). The locations for conducting NCS were not reported. All 16 patients had normal NCS.
Abnormal findings using CPT were reported for 5 Hz (6 of 16, 37.5%), 250 Hz (8 of 16, 50%), but not 2000 Hz (0 of 16, 0%). The authors reported that the results showed CPT testing at low frequencies were significantly more sensitive than at a higher frequency and more sensitive than NCS in detecting sensory neuropathies in patients with Fabry’s disease, p < 0.001. There was no correlation between CPT testing and clinical symptom scores, duration of disease, creatinine clearance values or a-galactosidase A activities in either hemizygous or heterozygous patients.

Cheng (1999) studied 558 non-insulin dependent diabetics for the purpose of identifying risk factors for diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy in type 2 diabetes. Patients were administered the following tests: monofilament testing, graduated tuning fork, and CPT. Those patients who had two or more abnormal quantitative sensory testings were defined as having diabetic sensory neuropathy. Of the 558 patients, 62 were classified as having neuropathy. Symptoms and findings on physical examination consistent with neuropathy were not reported. NCS was not performed.
Lerner (2000) evaluated the reliability and reproducibility of sNCT in establishing normative values for evaluation at the mental foramen area. The authors examined 34 healthy subjects who were tested twice over several days with sNCT. On the left side, the test showed no difference between the first and second test (p > 0.05). On the right side, there was a statistical difference between the first and second test for all three frequencies, but the confidence interval was very narrow and the differences were not clinically significant. The study also found significant differences between the left and right sides. The authors concluded that sNCT is a reliable method to quantify sensory nerve function in the mental foramen area in healthy subjects.
Rendell (1989) attempted to determine how useful CPT might be for assessing diabetic sensory neuropathy. The purpose of the study was to determine if CPT could map the extent of sensory neuropathy. Forty-four non-diabetic volunteers and 59 diabetic patients were subjected to a detailed clinical neurological examination consisting of questions regarding symptoms and a physical evaluation. An assessment of light touch, pain, vibratory, and thermal sensation was performed on each individual’s hand, wrist, elbow, foot, ankle, and knee. The results of these tests yielded a symptom score and a physical score. An examiner blinded to the results obtained from the clinical neurological examinations performed CPT evaluations on all subjects at sites identical to those used for light touch, pinprick, and thermal physical testing. CPT correlations with the physical score gave r values of 0.55 for 5 Hz, 0.60 for 250 Hz, and 0.62 for 2000 Hz. CPT correlations with the symptom score were not as strong. Correlation coefficients were 0.45 for 5 Hz, 0.46 for 250 Hz, and 0.51 for 2000 Hz. The symptom and physical scores, however, were not independently validated. Patients with diabetic neuropathy showed higher CPT values than non-diabetic volunteers and diabetics without neuropathy as revealed by physical examination. CPT measures were normal in diabetic patients without clinical evidence of neuropathy. The authors conclude that CPT “appears to be a useful technique for assessment of diabetic sensory neuropathy.”
Technology Assessments
In 1999, the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AAEM) published a technology review of the Neurometer Current Perception Threshold. The opinions stated in the assessment, however, may reflect those of the author and not necessarily of the Association.
The summary of the literature was presented in the form of general and specific issues followed by various recommendations. Most of the published articles were studies correlating the performance of the CPT to results obtained from standard nerve conduction studies within populations of affected individuals with known diseases. According to the technology assessment the fundamental problem is the absence of an appropriate standard against which to measure CPT. Another problem with the technique is that it elicits multiple measures, and any abnormality detected is considered significant. Also, there is a tendency in the literature to arbitrarily assign various degrees of deviation from a normal population as grades of severity, with little additional
information given. The technology assessment also concluded that “CPT provides only one set of values for each site studied, unlike nerve conduction studies which provide more information. Therefore, the location and type of peripheral nerve pathology is less clear with CPT testing.”
The report made the following recommendations:
“Determination of current perception threshold has the potential for evaluation of patients with peripheral nervous system diseases resulting in altered cutaneous sensation. This type of testing could potentially complement needle EMG and nerve conduction studies, to assist with evaluating treatment response or disease progression after a diagnosis is made. However, conflicting information and methodological problems exist regarding the utility of the Neurometer CPT for the diagnostic evaluation of specific disease conditions. Future research is needed to establish statistically expressed normal values and to demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of the Neurometer CPT data.”
Position Statements
We have not identified any position statements by medical professional societies on sNCT. In addition, we have not found any professional guidelines relating to the use of this technology. However, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists wrote to CMS on November 26, 2001 in support of Medicare coverage of sNCT. The Association believes that it is reasonable to perform sNCT in some diabetic patients, because it may detect neuropathy earlier than NCS (e.g., identified hyperesthesia) and could be used for monitoring improvement or worsening of diabetic polyneuropathy. The Texas Worker’s Compensation Commission also wrote to CMS on September 12, 2001 decision:
“The Spine Treatment Guideline Revision Workgroup review of CPT, a type of sensory conductive test, indicated that there was supporting literature for its effectiveness in some medical conditions but that there was little evidence to warrant its use for musculoskeletal conditions. However, staff’s review of the literature supplied by commenters supported the efficacy for CPT testing for peripheral neuropathy that is not clinically detectable through sensory nerve conduction velocity (NCV) studies. Staff’s review of the literature also supported the efficacy of CPT testing for the evaluation of radiculopathies and as an appropriate diagnostic tool for the quantitative measure of the functional integrity of sensory nerve fibers…”
We also contacted experts in the field of neuropathies. The experts were uniformly unaware of a use for sNCT that would alter patient management.
CMS Analysis
National coverage determinations (NCDs) are determinations by the Secretary with respect to whether or not a particular items or service is covered nationally under title XVIII of the Social Security Act. §§ 1869(f)(1)(B). In order to be covered by Medicare, an item or service must fall within one or more benefit categories contained within Part A or Part B, and must not be otherwise excluded from coverage. Moreover, in general, the expenses incurred for items or services must be “reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member.” §§ 1862(a)(1)(A).
CMS has issued regulations pertaining to the coverage of diagnostic tests under the part B program. Those rules provide that, except for a few exceptions, diagnostic tests must be ordered by the

physician who treats the beneficiary for a specific medical problem and the physician must use the results in the management of the beneficiary’s specific medical problem. 42 C.F.R. §§ 410.32. In general, tests not ordered by the physician who is treating the beneficiary are not reasonable and necessary. See also 42 C.F.R. §§ 411.15(k)(1).
As described below in this decision memorandum, we have fully examined the medical and scientific evidence submitted with the request for a national coverage decision, as well as the additional information obtained as a result of our own investigation. We have determined that the available evidence is not adequate to reliably conclude that sNCT is reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis of sensory neuropathies because it is not clinically effective. Therefore, we intend to issue a national noncoverage decision.
There is no gold standard for the evaluation of sensory nerve function. The most commonly used electrodiagnostic test is NCS. The principal limitation of NCS is that it measures velocity and amplitude only in the largest diameter and fastest conducting nerve fibers. It provides no information on the integrity of small- and medium-sized fibers. In addition, there is a wide range of normal values. A patient may have a drop in conduction velocity yet still fall within the normal range. Therefore, some patients with dysfunction of sensory nerves may not be detected using NCS.
sNCT reportedly assesses large, medium, and small fibers and does not cause the discomfort that may be experienced with NCS. Of note, sNCT bypasses some of the sensory receptors (e.g., Meissner’s corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles) and the sensations perceived by the subject are not those of normal sensation (e.g., heat, cold, touch, pain). The principal limitations of sNCT are the following: (1) it can only be performed on patients with normal attention and other cognitive abilities, as well as intact central nervous system sensory processing, because test results are based on the patient’s ability to detect and report his or her perception of the administered stimuli; and
(2) unlike NCS, sNCT does not assess the function of motor nerves. sNCT also measures responses to three different stimulus intensities. The greater number of measurements obtained with sNCT than with NCS may increase the likelihood of reporting an abnormal value. This is particularly problematic when the study population is determined to have a neuropathy using another testing modality, such as a physical examination. This may lead to the reporting of a higher sensitivity, but a lower specificity due to a higher number of false positives.
In our review of the literature we did not find any studies on the effect of sNCT on patient management. Only four studies compared sNCT to NCS. Each study had serious methodological flaws and specificity often was not or could not be determined. In general, the studies evaluated a small number of subjects and none masked the individuals performing the electrodiagnostic studies. Only the Rendell study reported detailed inclusion and exclusion criteria. Therefore, these studies may have produced biased results.
Rendell (1989) calculated Spearman correlation coefficients for NCS and sNCT with a symptomatic score and a physical score in patients with diabetes. Both scores as well as the classification of severity of neuropathy were not independently validated. A direct comparison between NCS and sNCT was not performed nor was a correction for multiple statistical analyses conducted. Therefore, the study is not adequate to demonstrate the relative accuracy of NCS and sNCT in assessing diabetic sensory polyneuropathy. Moreover, the diagnosis of neuropathy was based on history and physical examination, raising into question whether sNCT is more accurate in
diagnosing diabetic polyneuropathy than a history and physical examination.
Weseley (1988) performed NCS and sNCT in dialysis patients and then graded measurements based on a classification system that was not independently validated. sNCT and NCS were not performed at the same time and greater abnormal findings on sNCT may have resulted from performing the test concurrently with dialysis. Physiological and physical changes during dialysis may affect a patient’s ability to accurately detect test stimuli as well as nerve function. Also, sensitivity was based on the relative ability of each test to report an abnormal result consistent with a neuropathy in each patient. However, the use of an independent indicator of neuropathy was not reported. Instead, patients were assumed to have a neuropathy based on test measurements. Therefore, it is unclear if any of the patients had a neuropathy. Specificity was not reported. Finally, the authors did not perform a statistical comparison between NCS and sNCT. Therefore, the study is not adequate to demonstrate the relative accuracy of NCS and sNCT in assessing uremic neuropathy.
Katims (1989) performed NCS and sNCT in dialysis patients to assess these tests as screening measures for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in uremic patients. The grading system and CTS questionnaire used in the study were not independently validated. Twelve subjects reported symptoms of CTS. NCS identified CTS in three of these subjects. sNCT identified CTS in five of these patients, but also identified CTS in two patients without symptoms of CTS. NCS did not identify any patients as having CTS who did not have symptoms. If the questionnaire used is an independent measure of CTS, sNCT may have a high false positive rate. This is consistent with the above observation that multiple measurements would result in a higher sensitivity but a lower specificity than NCS. Furthermore, although the authors reported that sNCT had a greater sensitivity than NCS for the median and peroneal nerves combined, which was not the main objective of the study, the comparison was not based on an independent measure of a neuropathy and a statistical comparison of sNCT and NCV was not performed. Therefore, the study is not adequate to demonstrate the relative accuracy of NCS and sNCT in assessing uremic neuropathy.
The study by Ro (1999) on patients with Fabry’s disease suggests that sNCT may be more sensitive than NCS in detecting neuropathy in patients with Fabry’s disease. This is of questionable clinical utility in the Medicare population since the symptoms of Fabry’s disease often begin in childhood and are typically diagnosed by early adulthood. The study also suggests that sNCT may distinguish between sensory fiber types and may be more sensitive than NCS in detecting sensory neuropathies that affect only small myelinated and unmyelinated fibers. However, the patient population tested in this study was small (only 16 patients) and the symptoms scores were not independently validated.
In summary, the available scientific evidence is not adequate to demonstrate the accuracy of sNCT or the accuracy of sNCT as compared to NCS. Unlike NCS, sNCT does not assess the integrity of motor nerves, which is important in evaluating some patient populations, such as diabetics. In addition, it is not evident that sNCT offers any diagnostic advantages over a history and physical examination in detecting the presence of a neuropathy. There are also no clinical studies that we identified that demonstrate that the use of sNCT leads to changes in patient management in a particular Medicare subpopulation. As stated in 42 C.F.R. §§ 410.32, a diagnostic test is not reasonable and necessary unless its results are used by the treating physician (who also orders the test) in the management of the beneficiary’s specific medical problem. In our discussions with
226 227
experts, we were also unable to identify a subpopulation in whom the results of sNCT would alter medical care. Although the Association of Clinical Endocrinologists believe that sNCT is useful to detect sensory neuropathies in some diabetic patients, we were unable to establish the specific changes in patient management that would occur with its use. Moreover, the potentially lower specificity of sNCT as compared to NCS may lead to the administration of unnecessary and possibly harmful treatments. Therefore, CMS concludes that the use of sNCT in the diagnosis of sensory neuropathies is not reasonable and necessary. However, we believe that sNCT merits further study and we encourage investigators to conduct well-designed clinical trials to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of the test.
Decision
CMS concludes that the scientific and medical literature do not demonstrate that the use of sNCT to diagnose sensory neuropathies in Medicare beneficiaries is reasonable and necessary. Therefore, we intend to issue a national noncoverage decision.

RE: Coverage Decision Memorandum for Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Chronic Wounds
DATE: July 23, 2002
This memo serves four purposes: (1) outlines the description and treatment of chronic wounds;
(2) reviews the history of Medicare’’s coverage policies on electrical stimulation for chronic wound treatment, and presents a timeline of recent activities; (3) presents and analyzes the relevant clinical and scientific data relating to the use of electrical stimulation; and (4) delineates the rationale for a positive coverage policy for the use of electrical stimulation for the treatment of certain wound types.
Clinical Background
The normal wound healing process involves inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling phases. When the healing process fails to progress properly and the wound persists for longer than one month, it may be described as a chronic wound. The types of chronic wounds most frequently addressed in studies of electrical stimulation for wound healing are: (1) pressure ulcers; (2) venous ulcers; (3) arterial ulcers; and (4) diabetic ulcers.
Pressure ulcers, also known, as decubitus ulcers, bedsores or pressure sores, are areas of localized skin/tissue damage caused by unrelieved pressure. This pressure squeezes the skins blood vessels causing hypoxia. If the pressure is prolonged it results in tissue necrosis. Pressure ulcers are most common over bony prominences, such as the sacrum, heels, hips and elbows. Pressure ulcers are generally classified by stage. (See Table 1) Stage I pressure ulcers present as non-blanching
228 229
erythema with intact skin. Stage II ulcers involve a partial thickness loss involving the epidermis or dermis. Stage III ulcers are full thickness and extend down to, but not through, the underlying fascia. Stage IV ulcers involve tissue below the fascia, exposing muscle and even bone.
Stage I
Observable pressure related alteration of intact skin whose indicators as compared to the adjacent or opposite area of the body may include changes in one or more of the following: skin temperature (warmth or coolness), tissue consistency (firm or boggy feel) and/or sensation (pain, itching). The ulcer appears as a defined area of persistent redness in lightly pigmented skin, whereas in darker skin tones, the ulcer may appear with persistent red, blue or purple hues.
Stage II
Partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis or both. The ulcer is superficial and presents clinically as an abrasion, blister or shallow crater.
Stage III
Full thickness skin loss involving damage to, or necrosis of, subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, underlying fascia. The ulcer presents clinically as a deep crater with or without undermining of adjacent tissue.
Stage IV
Full thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures (e.g. tendon, joint capsule). Undermining and sinus tracts also may be associated with Stage IV pressure ulcers.
Prevention of pressure ulcers involves frequent repositioning of the patient, keeping the skin dry and, in some cases, using various support surfaces that keep a person’’s weight evenly
distributed. Once these wounds develop standard wound care includes frequent turning to relieve pressure, proper nutrition and good hygiene are standard therapies. The underlying immobility and difficulty relieving surface pressure points often makes treating these wounds a challenge.
Venous ulcers usually occur in the lower extremities. They result from venous obstruction or valvular incompetence. The subsequent venous hypertension then affects the vascular supply to surrounding tissue, resulting in tissue hypoxia and ulcer formation. Because the underlying pathophysiology is venous insufficiency, the treatment of venous ulcers should ultimately be directed on two fronts – correction of the underlying venous incompetence and wound care. Moist dressings combined with compressive stockings are usually effective in treating these ulcers, although the time to heal may be prolonged in some patients.
Diabetic ulcers are thought to develop from a combination of both small and large vessel disease, which affects tissue perfusion, and peripheral neuropathy, which leads to a loss of protective sensation. Injuries in these patients are often slow to heal, and might go unnoticed. Foot ulcers are a major health problem for diabetics. It is estimated that up to 15% of diabetics will develop a foot ulcer at some time in their life, and approximately 70% of such patients develop recurrent ulcers. Diabetic foot ulcers precede approximately 85% of lower limb amputations. Educating diabetics about routine foot care and self-examination can help to prevent foot ulcers. Moist dressings, debridement and off-loading are the mainstays of treatment.
Arterial ulcers result from inadequate blood flow to the site of a lesion to which blood flow is compromised. The ulcer may be very deep and usually appears black, necrotic, and has no granulation tissue. The surrounding tissue typically shows signs of arterial insufficiency, such as loss of nail growth or atrophic skin. These ulcers usually form between the toes, or on the ankle where the bone protrudes, or on the back of the foot. These ulcers may be very painful and are usually associated with diseases such as arteriosclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or thromboangiitis obliterans. Treatment of the vascular impairment is an important component of good wound care.
Conventional or standard therapy for chronic wounds involves local wound care as well as systemic measures. Standard care considerations to promote wound healing include, debridement or removal of necrotic tissue, wound cleansing, and dressings that promote a moist wound environment. Systemic treatments include the use of antibiotics to control infection and optimizing nutritional supplementation. There are other conventional therapeutic modalities that may apply to certain subgroups of patients depending on their
type of wound. Specific conventional therapies for venous ulcers include the use of compression devices aimed at decreasing venous stasis. Patients that have pressure ulcers require frequent repositioning to redistribute the pressure that is causing the ulcers. Off-loading of pressure and good glucose control for diabetic foot ulcers and establish adequate circulation for arterial ulcers. Some clinicians have attempted to supplement conventional wound care therapies with courses of local electrical stimulation. The clinicians that administer electrical stimulation are predominantly physical therapists.
Not long after the discovery of electricity, clinicians tried to derive healing benefits from the application of electrical energy to the human body. Since the 1950’s, investigators have used electrical stimulation as a treatment modality for the healing of chronic wounds. The physiologic principles underlying this approach include the hypotheses that electrical stimulation can: (1) increase ATP concentrations in tissues; (2) increase DNA synthesis; (3) attract epithelial cells and fibroblasts to wound sites; (4) accelerate the recovery of damaged neural tissue; (5) reduce edema; (6) increase blood flow; and (7) inhibit pathogenesis.
Electrical stimulation refers to the application of electrical current through electrodes placed directly on the skin in close proximity to the wound. The types of electrical stimulation and devices can be categorized into 4 groups based on the type of current: low intensity direct current (LIDC), high voltage pulsed current (HVPC), alternating current (AC) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Electromagnetic therapy is a related but distinct form of treatment that involves the application of electromagnetic fields rather than direct electrical current.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Approval/Clearance
FDA has granted premarket approvals for electrical stimulators as Class III devices for the indications of bone stimulation and deep brain stimulation. FDA has also cleared electrical stimulators as Class II devices when indicated for muscle stimulation. The FDA has not cleared or approved the use of electrical stimulation for the treatment of wounds. The FDA has concluded that the use of these devices for the treatment of wounds is significantly different than the use of these devices for the indications currently covered under a 510(k) clearance. They are considered Class III devices which require the manufacturer to go through the Premarket Approval (PMA) process. Therefore,
230 231
the manufacturers would have to show there is reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the treatment of wounds before the FDA could issue an approval for these devices. As of this time, the law prohibits manufacturers to market the use of electrical stimulators for wound healing. Lack of approval for this particular indication, however, does not preclude physicians and other health care providers from providing this therapy, as an off-label use.
History of Medicare Coverage
Medicare coverage for electrical stimulation for wound healing has been historically left to carrier discretion. In 1981, however, CMS issued a national noncoverage determination, which barred coverage of a certain type of electrical stimulation (low intensity direct current, Medicare Medicaid Guide Sep. 20, 1981) for the treatment of pressure sores. Carriers had the discretion to cover other forms of electrical stimulation. In August 1995, CMS ordered a technology assessment of electrical stimulation for wound healing. Emergency Care Research Institute (ECRI), a technology assessment firm, was awarded the contract. This report was completed in February 1996.
CMS sent the ECRI report as well as information provided by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) to its technology advisory committee (TAC) in November 1996. The TAC, a committee of physicians employed by the government and CMS Contractor Medical Directors, assessed the quality of the clinical studies, and determined that electrical stimulation was not markedly superior or inferior to conventional or alternative therapies for chronic wound healing.
According to the TAC analysis:
“Woundhealingisacomplexprocessdependenton, andaffectedbyfactorssuchasvolume, location, contamination, foreign bodies, infection, blood supply, edema, drainage, pressure, immobility, repeated trauma, drugs, irritants, topical applications, radiation, age, nutritional status, and co- existing diseases or conditions. Common therapeutic interventions include debridement, irrigation, soaks, topical agents, enzymes, dressings, pressure relief, and antibiotics. Electrical Stimulation (ES) is not commonly included in the standard line of defense for wound healing. The University Hospital Consortium (UHC) considers it an unproven adjunctive therapy for wound healing.”
Similar to the ECRI report, the TAC made the following separate conclusions based on the type of ES being use:
There is no evidence that Direct Current (DC) improved wound healing.
Studies did show that Pulsed Current (PC) improves healing rate of stage II-IV pressure ulcers. However, several confounding factors, number of patients, heterogeneity of patients, and no control over concomitant therapy compromised the studies used to reach this conclusion.
A study did show that Alternating Current (AC) improved the healing rate of pressure ulcers. However, that study had a major flaw, in that the AC group consisted of primarily patients with Stage II ulcers, while the control group consisted of sicker patients with Stage IV ulcers.
Improvement rate of Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Induction (PEMI) was so small that it was not considered clinically useful.
Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Energy (PEE) did show improvement in the healing rate for Stage II ulcers when compared to conventional therapy. However, there was no standard of care provided in this study. Both the active and placebo group had 6 different types of dressing and topical agents.
Based on the TAC”s recommendation, in April 1997, CMS rescinded carrier discretion and issued a national noncoverage policy – CIM 35-98 –– to be effective May 14, 1997. CMS essentially expanded upon the 1981 national noncoverage decision involving low intensity direct current for the treatment of pressure ulcers by noncovering all forms of electrical stimulation for the treatment of all types of chronic wounds.
In response to this decision, APTA requested a postponement of the effective date and presented additional data. This data was presented on June 17, 1997. After careful review, CMS notified APTA on July 7, 1997 that it planned to proceed with implementation of its noncoverage determination.
Aitken v Shalala
Six individual Medicare beneficiaries joined by the APTA brought suit in federal district court in Massachusetts to challenge CMS”s national noncoverage determination [Aitken v. Shalala, 986
F. Supp 57 (D. Mass., 1997)]. The individual plaintiffs suffered from chronic wounds that had not healed with conventional therapies. Some of the plaintiffs alleged that each had experienced facilitated healing when they received adjunctive therapy using electrical stimulation, while other plaintiffs asserted that CMS”s decision prevented them from obtaining this adjunctive therapy, which might have helped their wounds to heal. The plaintiffs charged that the administrative record did not adequately support the national noncoverage decision.
The court found that “there needs to be at least a better explanation by HCFA of its coverage determination, and, perhaps, a revision of that determination.” 986 F. Supp at 62. The court noted that the administrative record contained a number of published papers concerning the value of electrical stimulation (ES), anecdotal support for the use of ES in clinical settings, publications by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), and a report from a health technology assessment consultant.
On the ECRI report, the court expressed concern that materials used in a staff presentation to a Technology Assessment Committee had not accurately portrayed some of ECRI’s findings. Specifically, the court noted that “ECRI’s conclusion that ES is about as effective as other therapies (“not markedly superior or inferior”) does not support the conclusion that ES is not effective.” Id., at 63. Moreover, the court noted that the record contained anecdotal support from clinicians, and while the agency was not bound to accept this evidence, it was not “free to disregard it entirely, without explanation.” Id. In addition, the court specifically noted that AHCPR had issued a clinical practice guideline recommending electrical stimulation for certain ulcers that had proved unresponsive to conventional therapy. Id. at 64. The court noted that the “published studies tend to support the conclusion that ES is about as effective as “conventional therapy.” Id. at 64. Finally, the court found that the record lacked adequate information to support the ES national noncoverage determination and questioned whether the record “supports the agency”s conclusion that ES should never be covered in any case.” Id. The court remanded the national coverage determination regarding reimbursement for ES to the Secretary for additional proceedings to “supplement the record with evidence adequate to support or modify its decision.” Id, at 65. Since the court decision, the Medicare carriers have made decisions about Medicare coverage for electrical stimulation of chronic wounds at a carrier-by-carrier level.
After the court’s decision, CMS reassessed its coverage policy on electrical stimulation of chronic wounds. Instead of attempting to buttress the administrative record with more documents to
232 233
support the remanded noncoverage policy, we performed a new, thorough, and extensive analysis. The following actions were the major steps in this coverage determination process:
On October 14, 1998 CMS received a memorandum from AHRQ”s Center for Practice and Technology Assessment. This memo noted that the overall conclusion of the initial ECRI report that “electrical stimulation is about as effective as other therapies (‘not markedly superior or inferior’)” appear to be accurate. Moreover, it suggested a tempered interpretation of the AHRQ Guidelines on Treatment of Pressure Ulcers. The guidelines state that “electrical stimulation could be considered as treatment for certain pressure ulcers unresponsive to conventional therapy.” The recommendation to consider electrical stimulation treatment was made on the basis of level B evidence derived from five clinical trials involving 147 patients (not all receiving the treatment). “These studies were not adequately powered or persuasive because of other methodological faults.”
In an April 1, 1999 letter, APTA responded to the AHRQ letter. In this letter, APTA asked CMS to consider the broad national coverage policy the Association proposed in June 1997. The APTA had proposed a national coverage policy for pulsed current and pulsed electromagnetic induction for the following types of wounds shown non-responsive to conventional therapy: (1) Stage II – IV pressure ulcers, (2) partial and full thickness wounds secondary to venous insufficiency, arterial insufficiency, or diabetic neuropathy.
CMS performed its own systematic review of the literature to find articles published on this topic since the ECRI report. In addition, we reviewed several articles submitted by APTA for consideration. Given inconsistencies in the quality of the scientific literature and the results reported relating to the effectiveness of electrical stimulation, this issue was referred to the Medical and Surgical Procedures Panel of the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee (MCAC).
Benefit Category
For an item or service to be covered by the Medicare program it must meet one of the statutorily defined benefit categories outlined in the Social Security Act. Electrical stimulation is covered under the following statutorily defined benefit categories:
• §§1861(s)(1) Physician’s Services
• §§1861(s)(2)(A) Services and supplies furnished incident to a physician”s professional service;
• §§1861(p) Outpatient Physical Therapy Services
Electrical stimulation is considered a physician or physical therapy service under the Medicare program, and must be performed by a licensed health care professional.
Summary of Evidence
The number of published articles on electrical stimulation for the treatment of chronic wounds has increased considerably since the early 1990”s. There have also been hundreds of articles published on wound care in general. Of these, several are review articles and clinical practice guidelines. One of the most extensive, initial reports was produced by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), now known as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in 1994. Although this report focused largely on pressure ulcers, it advised clinicians to “consider a course of electrotherapy for Stage III and IV pressures ulcers that have proved unresponsive to
235
conventional therapy.” This recommendation was based on “data from five clinical trials, involving a total of 147 patients” and was given a “B” rating for strength of evidence.
In 1996, CMS (then the Health Care Financing Administration) commissioned ECRI to conduct a technology assessment on electrical stimulation for the treatment of chronic wounds. ECRI searched 17 databases (some starting from 1969 to January, 1996) and identified 41 studies (18 randomized controlled trials, 22 case series and case reports, 1 comparative study) of electrical stimulation for the treatment of chronic wounds. ECRI”s definition of a chronic wound was a duration of 30 days or longer. They conducted several extensive analyses including a qualitative analysis of all studies, a quantitative analysis of normalized healing rates, a meta-analysis of normalized healing rates and a meta-analysis of proportion of lesions completely healed.
ECRI made the following qualitative conclusions: (1) “Although all ES (electrical stimulation) studies have at least 1 weakness, not all are potentially confounded.” (2) “ES controlled studies for venous ulcers are about equal to or slightly inferior in quality compared to other controlled studies for venous ulcers.” (3) “ES controlled studies for decubitus ulcers are about equal to or slightly superior in quality compared to other controlled studies for decubitus ulcers.” ECRI made the following quantitative conclusions: (1) “ES facilitates the healing rate of chronic ulcers.” (2) “ES facilitates the complete healing of chronic ulcers.” (3) “The relationship between outcomes and ES can be affected by wound size and type of stimulator.” (4) “Decubitus ulcers are more likely to heal completely in response to ES than venous ulcers.” ECRI”s general findings were: (1) “ES devices are safe when used appropriately.” (2) Most types of ES are more effective than minimal treatment (e.g., saline-soaked gauze).” (3) “ES is not markedly superior to or inferior to conventional or alternative therapies. There is insufficient evidence to determine if clinically significant differences exist.” Conventional therapies were defined as “debridement, cleaning agents, topical agents, dressings, bandages, antibiotics (systemic or local), compression therapies, systemic medications, or nutritional supplements.” Alternative therapies were defined as “hyperbaric oxygen, growth factors, ultrasound, lasers, and ultraviolet light.”
Although ECRI considered electrical stimulation and electromagnetic therapy collectively, these two treatment modalities are distinct in application and mechanism of action. For the remainder of this discussion, electrical stimulation and electromagnetic therapy will be considered separately. Electrical stimulation of chronic wounds is defined as the application of electrical current through electrodes placed directly on the skin in close proximity to a wound. Electromagnetic therapy of chronic wounds refers to treatment with electromagnetic fields.
Evidence on Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Chronic Wounds
Since the ECRI technology assessment was published in 1996, CMS
performed an additional search of the literature to identify more current evidence on the effectiveness of electrical stimulation for the treatment of chronic pressure, venous, arterial and diabetic wounds. Medline from 1996 to April 2002 was searched iteratively using the following key words: electrical stimulation, electric stimulation or electrotherapy with wound(s) or ulcer(s). Searches were limited to human subjects and English language publications. Only studies that were not included in the ECRI technology assessment and assessed wound healing were reviewed. Four additional articles and a recent technology assessment were found and are summarized below.
In 1996, Baker and colleagues randomly assigned 80 patients (82.5%, age range of 17-76 years)
with spinal cord injuries to one of three stimulation groups: group A received asymmetric, biphasic stimulation; group B received symmetric, biphasic stimulation; and group MC received microcurrent stimulation. The control group received the same stimulation procedures but no electrical current was applied. Patients were treated until their ulcers healed, the physician intervened, or the patient withdrew. Electrical stimulation was administered through surface, carbon-rubber electrodes. The number and size of electrodes varied, depending on the size and location of the ulcer. A total of 192 surgical and pressure ulcers were treated. The authors stated that “no statistical differences were found in initial or discharge ulcer areas or in the mean healing rates among the four treatment groups.” When wounds were divided into “good responses” (healed during stimulation) or “poor responses” (non healing ulcers), the authors stated that “statistical analysis of only the good response group showed a significant difference between the A protocol and the MC and C (control) protocols.” They also noted “no significant differences were found between the B protocol and the other treatments.” One-way analysis of variance was used in the analysis of healing rates. Twenty-seven (14%) of the 192 wounds “withdrew.” Sixty- three (33%) of wounds had a “change of program.” The number of patients that withdrew from the study was not reported. Intention-to-treat analysis was not used. The results of multivariate analyses to adjust for confounding variables were not presented.
In 1997, Baker and colleagues randomly assigned 80 patients (69% male, age range of 30-82 years) with spinal cord injuries to one of three stimulation groups: group A received asymmetric, biphasic stimulation; group B received symmetric, biphasic stimulation; and group MC received microcurrent stimulation. The control group received the same stimulation procedures but no electrical current was applied. Patients were treated until their ulcers healed, the physician intervened, or the patient withdrew. Electrical stimulation was administered through surface, carbon-rubber electrodes. Three treatment sessions of 30-minute duration were provided daily. A total of 114 wounds were treated. The authors stated that the mean healing rates among the four groups were not significantly different. After combining the MC group with the control group (total of 39 wounds), the authors reported, “the combined control group was statistically slower to heal than the treatment group A.” One-way analysis of variance was used in the analysis of healing rates. Statistical significant was set at a p-value <0.05. Twenty-eight (25%) of the 114 wounds “withdrew.” Twenty-four (21%) of wounds had a “change of program.” The number of patients that withdrew from the study was not reported. Intention-to-treat analysis was not used. The results of multivariate analyses to adjust for confounding variables were not presented.
In a 1999 single arm pre-post study of patients with poor response to conventional therapy, Sumano and colleagues reported that 93% of patients experienced greater than 90% recovery of wounds following acupuncture-like electrical stimulation. The investigators studied 44 patients (age range of 15-60 years) with various skin wounds including venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds and burns that had received conventional treatment with unsatisfactory results. Electrical stimulation was applied via electrodes clipped to stainless steel acupuncture filiform needles for 20 minutes. Treatment was applied daily or every other day depending on wound severity until no further progress could be observed (mean treatment = 24.5 days for the most severe wounds). The authors reported that 41 patients (93%) experienced excellent outcomes (>90% recovery); 3 patients (7%) had fair responses (60-90% recovery); and no patients had poor responses (less than 50% recovery).
In 1999, Gardner and colleagues published the results of a meta-analysis on the effect of electrical

stimulation on chronic wound healing. The authors analyzed 15 studies (9 randomized clinical trials (RCTs), 5 nonrandomized trials, 1 descriptive study), which included 24 electrical stimulation samples and 15 control samples. The type of wounds varied among studies as did the type of stimulation used. The mean percentage healing per week (PHW) was determined for each electrical stimulation (ES) and control (C) sample. The mean PHW was 22.22% (95% confidence interval =18.08-26.35%) for ES samples and 9.10% (95% confidence interval =3.82-14.38%) for control samples for all 15 studies. For blinded, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials only, the mean PHW was 22.51% (95% confidence interval =15.44-29.58%) for ES samples and 9.01% (95% confidence interval =1.09-16.93%) for control samples. The 95% confidence intervals did not overlap when all 15 studies were analyzed. The 95% confidence intervals did overlap when the analysis included only blinded, placebo-controlled RCTs. The authors stated, “although electrical stimulation produces a substantial improvement in the healing of chronic wounds, further research is needed to identify which electrical stimulation devices are most effective and which wounds respond best to this treatment.”
In 2001, Cullum and colleagues published a technology assessment that was commissioned by the National Health Service Research and Development Health Technology Assessment Programme (NHS R&D HTA). The authors searched 19 databases for the period up to December 1999 and reviewed 16 randomized controlled trials, with the last study published in 1997. The authors reported the following: (1) For the treatment of chronic wounds, “the two small trials identified suggest a benefit associated with electrotherapy compared with sham electrotherapy or no electrotherapy to heal chronic wounds.” (2) For the treatment of venous leg ulcers, “no RCTs (randomized controlled trials) of the use of electrotherapy in treating venous leg ulcers were identified.” (3) For the treatment of ischemic ulcers, no recommendations for practice can be made.” (4) For the treatment of diabetic ulcers, “the one trial identified demonstrated no significant difference in ulcer healing between the intervention and control groups.” (4) For the treatment of pressure ulcers, “the three trials identified suggest a benefit associated with using electrotherapy to treat pressure sores.” The authors concluded: “Further research is required to clarify the relationship between the various physical therapies and chronic wound healing. The most promising physical therapies for further investigation are ultrasound for the treatment of venous leg ulcers and electrotherapy for the treatment of pressure sores.”
Evidence on Electromagnetic Therapy for the Treatment of Chronic Wounds
For electromagnetic therapy, ECRI stated the following: (1) “No evidence that PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) stimulation improves the healing rate of chronic decubitus or diabetic ulcers.” (2) No evidence that PEE (pulsed electromagnetic energy) stimulation improves the healing rate of chronic venous or diabetic ulcers.” (3) “Insufficient data to determine whether PEE stimulation improves the normalized healing rates for stage III or IV decubitus ulcers.”
To identify additional evidence on the effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy for the treatment of chronic wounds since the ECRI report, CMS performed a separate search of the literature. Medline from 1996 to April 2002 was searched iteratively using the following key words: electromagnetic therapy and electromagnetic with wound(s) or ulcer(s). Searches were limited to human subjects and English language publications. Excluding articles reviewed by ECRI, we did not find any new primary research on the effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy on healing of chronic wounds
or ulcers. There were 3 review articles that commented on electromagnetic therapy. They are summarized below.
In 1999, Houghton and Campbell authored a review of adjunctive therapies for the treatment of chronic wounds. They evaluated ultrasound, laser, ultraviolet light, superficial heating, pulsed electromagnetic fields and electrical stimulation; and concluded “electrical stimulation and ultrasound are the only therapeutic modalities that currently have sufficient clinical research evidence to support their use in the treatment of chronic wounds.”
In 2000, Sheffet and colleagues authored a review on electric and electromagnetic energy as adjuvant treatment for pressure ulcers. They reported that only moist wound dressings and adjunctive electrotherapy for unresponsive Stage III and IV pressure ulcers “receive high ratings for reported experimental evidence of validity.”
In 2001, HTA technology assessment reported the following: (1) “Only three small trials with a total of 92 patients were identified. These trials provided no evidence of a benefit of electromagnetic therapy for venous leg ulcers.” (2) Two small trials, with a total of 55 patients, were identified. These provide no clear evidence of a benefit of electromagnetic therapy for the treatment of pressure sores.”
Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee
On October 17th, 2000 the Medical Surgical Procedures Panel of the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee (MCAC) met to discuss the topic of electrical stimulation for the treatment of wounds. This panel included nationally recognized experts in clinical and academic medicine, health services research, and ethics. In preparation for this meeting the panel was sent the following materials:
Technology assessment prepared by ECRI in 1996 and the update to the technology assessment prepared by ECRI in 1997
Literature review prepared by CMS since the ECRI report AHCPR Guidelines on Treatment of Pressure Ulcers Bibliography and copies of all articles
During the panel meeting, nine speakers from various organizations made presentations, representing a wide range of interests. These speakers included professional societies, such as the APTA, Association for the Advancement of Wound Care, and physicians. Dr. Rita Frantz, an expert on wound care suggested by the APTA, provided an overview of electrical stimulation for the treatment of wounds.
As part of the meeting, the panel was asked to vote on a series of questions:
- Is the evidence adequate to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of electrical stimulation as an adjunctive therapy for chronic pressure ulcers?
- Is the evidence adequate to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of electrical stimulation as an adjunctive therapy for chronic venous ulcers?
- Is the evidence adequate to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of electrical stimulation as an adjunctive therapy for chronic arterial/diabetic ulcers?
238 239
In answering these questions, they were asked to consider the following points:
• Adequacy of study design –– Is there evidence that the studies do not over or underestimate the effect of the intervention? For example, do patients who received the intervention differ systematically from those in the control group in ways that might affect outcomes? Do studies permit conclusions about the health outcome effects of the technology?
• Consistency of results –– Are the results of the studies consistent or are they contradictory?
• Applicability to the Medicare population –– Are the results of the studies applicable to the various Medicare populations?
• Expert testimony –– Public comments, etc. should be considered with respect to the above considerations.
If the evidence is adequate to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of electrical stimulation as an adjunctive therapy, the panel was then asked what is the size of the overall health effect? If the evidence is found to be adequate the panel must then rate the effectiveness of the evidence.
Actions of the Panel
The panel decided to modify the first question to: “Is there adequate evidence to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of electrical stimulation, as an adjunctive therapy for chronic non-healing pressure, venous, and arterial ulcers? The panel decided not to distinguish between the types of wounds. Several panel members believed there was adequate evidence, at least in the aggregate, to draw a conclusion as to the effectiveness of electrical stimulation used for the treatment of chronic, non-healing pressure ulcers. In addition, some members of the panel stated that the evidence is clearly best for pressure sores and that aggregating the data enabled them to vote in the affirmative.
With regards to the second question, the panel concluded that the use of electrical stimulation for the treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds would be considered more effective, which means this intervention “improves health outcomes by a significant, albeit small, margin as compared with established medical items or services.”
Issue of different types of devices
At this meeting, CMS decided to defer to the panel”s discretion whether or not to answer the questions separately for each of the different types of electrical stimulation: direct current, pulsed direct current, alternating current or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation or pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation.
Dr. Frantz, PhD was recommended by the APTA to give an overview of the role of electrical stimulation in chronic wound healing. Dr. Frantz is a professor of nursing at the University of Iowa. Over the past 12-15 years she has studied the use of electrical stimulation to treat wounds of elderly patients primarily in nursing homes. She has received two NIH funded grants to study the effects of electrical stimulation, specifically TENS, on wound healing.
Dr. Frantz did address the issue of the different types of devices. Dr. Frantz stated that there are primarily four types of devices used to some extent in wound healing. Low intensity direct current, high voltage pulse current and two forms of alternating current –– low voltage pulse micro-amperage current and TENS. According to Dr. Frantz, “you do see an occasional reference to
the use of electromagnetic fields, it is different than electrical stimulation, which is using current. The research on electromagnetic field has been more limited particularly in humans……studies done do not provide us with much information about what this electromagnetic field might do in a chronic wound.”
The panel decided not to vote on the various types of delivery systems for electrical stimulation. The panel appeared to believe that it could not get into great detail about the differences between the devices. However, the initial request for coverage filed by APTA proposed that CMS cover Pulsed Current (PC) and Pulsed (non-thermal) Electromagnetic Induction (PEMI) for the treatment of wounds. The panel ultimately concluded that they remained uncertain about whether there are differences in the technologies.
On February 21, 2001 the MCAC Executive Committee met and ratified the recommendations of the Medical/Surgical Procedures Panel. On May 1st, 2001 CMS received signed minutes from the February Executive Committee Meeting.
CMS Analysis
National coverage determinations (NCDs) are determinations by the Secretary with respect to whether or not a particular item or service is covered nationally under title XVIII of the Social Security Act. §§1869(f)(1)(B). In order to be covered by Medicare, an item or service must fall within one or more benefit categories contained within Part A or Part B, and must not be otherwise excluded from coverage. Moreover, with limited exceptions, the expenses incurred for items or services must be “reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member.” §§ 1862(a)(1)(A).
Our analysis focused on 4 questions:
- Is there evidence on the effectiveness of electrical stimulation on the healing of chronic wounds, such as chronic pressure, venous, arterial and diabetic wounds?
- Is there evidence on the most effective type of device and form of electrical stimulation?
- Is there evidence on the optimal duration of treatment with electrical stimulation?
- Is there evidence on the effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy on healing of chronic wounds?
Is there evidence on the effectiveness of electrical stimulation on the healing of chronic wounds?
The evidence on the clinical effectiveness of electrical stimulation in the treatment of chronic wounds has grown substantially since the early 1990’’s. Specifically, the studies have focused almost entirely on several types of chronic wounds: pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers and ulcers due to venous or arterial insufficiency. Also, in their 1994 clinical practice guideline AHCPR, now known as AHRQ, recommended that electrotherapy be considered for unresponsive Stage III and IV pressure ulcers (strength of evidence level B).
Since the CMS-commissioned ECRI Technology Assessment, several additional studies, including two randomized clinical trials, have reported a benefit in wound healing with electrical stimulation. In addition, the MCAC Medical Surgical Procedures Panel voted in favor of electrical stimulation for the treatment of chronic wounds in 2000. Lastly, the 2001 NHS technology assessment concluded that there was a benefit associated with electrotherapy for chronic wounds. Although, the clinical
240 241
studies reviewed had important limitations, the large body of evidence as a whole is adequate to conclude that electrical stimulation is clinically effective, and therefore, reasonable and necessary, for the treatment of the following chronic wound types under certain conditions after an adequate trial of standard wound therapy: chronic Stage III and Stage IV pressure ulcers, chronic ulcers due to arterial or venous insufficiency or diabetes mellitus. Chronic ulcers are defined as “open lesions that have not healed within 30 days of their occurrence.” Generally, most chronic wounds will heal with good standard wound therapy. Only a small minority of chronic wounds may require additional therapies as an adjunct to standard wound therapy to heal completely.
CMS” decision is based on evidence that pertains to specific ulcer types. Although the MCAC elected not to distinguish the evidence based on wound type, CMS believes that different types of wounds may respond differently to a given treatment because the etiology of ulcers varies. For example, the etiology of a pressure ulcer relates to pressure whereas the etiology of arterial ulcers ulcers is vascular. A therapy that reduces pressure, such as pressure-reducing air mattresses, are clinically effective for some decubiti ulcers but not for arterial ulcers. Therefore, it is difficult to generalize the findings from studies on clinically effective therapies for one type of ulcer to other types. The FDA has taken a similar position. In a draft document “Guidance for Industry
–– Chronic Cutaneous Ulcer and Burn Wounds –– Developing Products for Treatment”, the FDA stated: “Wounds differ pathophysiologically, making it difficult –– if not impossible –– to generalize results obtained from a trial conducted in patients with one type of wound to those with another wound type. Separate safety and efficacy data should be submitted for each wound type for which an indication is sought.”
Clinical studies that we have reviewed addressed the use of electrical stimulation therapy when performed by a licensed therapist trained in wound care management. The studies did not adequately evaluate unsupervised home use of the device by a patient.
Is there evidence on the most effective type of device and form of electrical stimulation?
There was insufficient evidence to determine the best type of device and most effective form of electrical stimulation for the treatment of chronic wounds or ulcers. There appears to be no standard type, waveform, or frequency of electrical stimulation. The treatments varied between studies but involved one of 4 basic forms: low intensity direct current (LIDC), high voltage pulsed current (HVPC), alternating current (AC) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Therefore, CMS cannot determine if one type of electrical stimulation is more or less clinically effective than another type.
Is there evidence on the optimal duration of treatment with electrical stimulation?
In general, the duration of treatment differed among studies, often depending on the size of the initial ulcer and rate of healing. In the majority of clinical trials, electrical stimulation was given 3 times per week until the chronic ulcer healed. There was no direct evidence to determine the optimal duration or amount of electrical stimulation. However, it would be clinically rational and appropriate to discontinue treatment with electrical stimulation if the ulcer is not healing.
Consistent with previous CMS coverage decisions (e.g. CIM 60-19 Air-Fluidized Beds decision) and the AHCPR guidelines, a chronic wound should demonstrate progressive healing within 4 weeks if the treatment being used is effective. Therefore, if progressive healing is not demonstrated after a 30-day period of treatment, electrical stimulation is unlikely to provide benefit. Progressive
healing is generally demonstrated by decrease in wound size in surface area or volume, decrease in amount of exudates, and decrease in amount of necrotic tissue.
Is there evidence on the effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy on healing of chronic wounds?
Unlike the situation with electrical stimulation, we did not identify any new studies on the effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy since the ECRI technology assessment. In 1996, ECRI reported that there was no evidence or insufficient data on the clinical effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy. Since then, two published reviews (Houghton and Campbell, Sheffet and colleagues) and the HTA technology assessment have reiterated and reinforced this position. There appears to be at least an informal consensus since all reports had similar conclusions. The paucity of new research and evidence also raises questions about the clinical utility of electromagnetic therapy for the treatment of chronic wounds. Based on these reports, the evidence is adequate to conclude that electromagnetic therapy is not clinically effective, and therefore, not reasonable and necessary, for the treatment of chronic wounds. Thus, Medicare will not cover any form of electromagnetic therapy for the treatment of chronic wounds. Further primary research is needed to fully evaluate this treatment modality.
Decision
Electrical stimulation is defined as the application of electrical current through electrodes applied directly to the skin in close proximity to the ulcer. Based on all of the evidence that we have reviewed in this matter, it is our intention to issue a positive coverage decision only on the use of electrical stimulation for chronic Stage III and Stage IV pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers and venous stasis ulcers. All other uses of electrical stimulation for the treatment of wounds are noncovered. Chronic ulcers are defined as ulcers that have not healed within 30 days of occurrence. Electrical stimulation for the treatment of wounds will not be covered as an initial treatment modality. The use of electrical stimulation will be covered as adjunctive therapy only after there are no measurable signs of healing for at least 30-days of treatment with standard wound therapy and must be used in addition to standard wound care. Measurable signs of improved healing include a decrease in wound size either in surface area or volume, decrease in amount of exudates and decrease in amount of necrotic tissue. Standard wound care includes: optimization of nutritional status; debridement by any means to remove devitalized tissue; maintenance of a clean, moist bed of granulation tissue with appropriate moist dressings; and necessary treatment to resolve any infection that may be present. Specific wound care based on type of wound includes: frequent repositioning of a patient with pressure ulcers (usually every 2 hours); off-loading of pressure and good glucose control for diabetic ulcers; establishment of adequate circulation for arterial ulcers and the use of a compression system for patients with venous ulcers. Wounds must be evaluated at least every 30 days during administration of electrical stimulation therapy. Continued treatment with electrical stimulation is not covered if measurable signs of healing have not been demonstrated within any 30-day period of treatment.
Medicare will not cover any form of electromagnetic therapy for the treatment of chronic wounds. Electrical stimulation should be discontinued when the wound demonstrates a 100% epithelialzed wound bed. Electrical stimulation for wound healing is not covered in the home setting, as unsupervised use by patients in the home has not been found to be medically reasonable and necessary.

- The Medical Device Amendments of 1976 to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) established three regulatory classes for medical devices. The three classes are based on the degree of control necessary to assure that the various types of devices are safe and effective. The most regulated devices are in Class III. The amendments define a Class III device as one that supports or sustains human life or is of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health or presents a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Insufficient information exists on a Class III device so that performance standards (Class II) or general controls (Class I) cannot provide reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use. Under Section 515 of the act, all devices placed into Class III are subject to premarket approval requirements. Premarket approval by FDA is the required process of scientific review to ensure the safety and effectiveness of Class III devices. Before such devices can be marketed, they must have an approved premarket approval application or be reclassified into Class I (general controls) or Class II (standards). Class III transitional devices and “new” devices (described in the paragraph above) are automatically classified into Class III by statute and require premarket approval by FDA before they may be commercially distributed.

Efectuar la validación en la eficacia del sistema de Biorresonacia en Biofeedback-SCIO para restablecer a un paciente de Fibromialgia de forma holística englobando la incapacidad para sentir y expresar emociones, el estado depresivo, de ansiedad, la capacidad funcional, el dolor y su percepción.
Debido al carácter que le confiere a este trabajo, el estatus de tesina, comprendemos que no hemos efectuado una validación con un carga muestral suficientemente amplia, pero esperamos poderlo realizar para presentarlos con la evidencia muestral y estadística apropiada en la lectura de la tesis que esperamos sea el resultado final de esta tesina.
Pretendemos, del mismo modo:
- Evaluar los diferentes síntomas de un Síndrome de Fibromialgia de modo individual.
- Valorar dichos síntomas con un sistema de medición electromagnética tisular, SCIO.
- Evaluar los resultados de dichos síntomas reflejados en el software del sistema después de testar al paciente.
- Buscar las frecuencias más alteradas de cada paciente en cada testaje.
- Efectuar el tratamiento adecuado, dado los resultados anteriores, escogiendo la terapia de Biofeedback y/o de Biorresonancia.
- Comparar los resultados anteriores al estudio y posteriores al mismo.
II. INTRODUCCIÓN
- FIBROMIALGIA 1.1.Definición de Fibromialgia
Aunque cada vez se hacen más estudios y se publican más artículos sobre Fibromialgia (FM), la verdad es que en términos masivos es poco conocida tanto por profesionales médicos, fisioterapeutas, psicólogos y lo que es peor, por el paciente que la sufre.
Para un/a paciente de Fibromialgia el dolor físico crónico, el dolor psíquico y la fatiga indescriptible, son sus eternos compañeros. La mayoría de pacientes diagnosticados son mujeres en un porcentaje del 80 a 90 %. En España la padecen entre el 2 al 4% de la población lo que supone que habrá entre 500.000 y 1.500.000 personas con Fibromialgia diagnosticadas.
Aunque no es una “enfermedad nueva”, se empezó a utilizar el término de Fibromialgia introduciéndose dentro de la literatura médica en 1904 1 como “un trastorno de la regulación dolorosa de etiología desconocida, que cursa con dolor amplio, generalizado, de origen idiopático, a menudo asociado a trastornos de tipo psíquico y que no puede ser explicado por trastornos degenerativos o inflamatorios de origen musculo-esquelético”.
El Síndrome de Fibromialgia es una de las causas más comunes de dolor crónico músculo esquelético y su reconocimiento en clínica no es fácil, ya que la mayoría de las veces antes de pensar en la Fibromialgia el médico tiene que descartar otras enfermedades que comparten características con ella: poli mialgia, poliomiositis, poli artritis reumatoide, hipotiroidismo, hiperparatiroidismo, síndrome de la fatiga crónica, síndrome doloroso miofascial, polineuropatía diabética, osteomalacia…
Está considerada dentro de las enfermedades reumáticas. Los mecanismos fisiopatológicos de esta entidad aún no están claramente definidos y no existe hasta el momento actual una teoría que explique todos los aspectos patogénicos implicados. La Fibromialgia ha sido enfocada desde varios puntos de vista en diversos estudios científicos que van desde alteraciones genéticas,2 hasta alteraciones de neurotransmisores en el sistema nervioso central y autonómico3.
Desde 1992 que la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS)4 reconoció la Fibromialgia como un Síndrome con entidad propia, catalogada dentro de los reumatismos de las partes blandas y caracterizada por dolores difusos y puntos dolorosos diana, hasta nuestros días se han realizado múltiples estudios y ensayos científicos donde se ha demostrado que es algo más que reumatismo de partes blandas. En la actualidad se trata de manera multidisciplinar.
Previo al reconocimiento de la OMS, un comité del American College of Rheumatology5 propuso como criterios de clasificación dolor crónico generalizado continuo con más de tres meses de evolución y dolor exagerado a la palpación por lo menos en once de los dieciocho puntos simétricos. La presión digital se tiene que ejercer con una fuerza de unos cuatro kilos y la reacción debe de ser de dolor intenso no sólo de una mayor sensibilización. A estos puntos se les denominó “Tender Points” o “Puntos Sensibles”, (que no deben confundirse con “los Puntos Gatillo”) y son los siguientes:

doloroso, jamás sería exagerado. Decimos así, que la persona que sufre de Fibromialgia, tiene unos niveles de dolor muy bajos.
Estas características fueron muy positivas y ayudaron a regularizar dicha enfermedad, pero en la actualidad, al explorar a un paciente afecto con las premisas de los dieciocho puntos, observamos que la alodinia y la hiperalgesia se entremezclan. Como explica el Dr. Martínez-Pintor6, “Nos resulta sorprendente que se haya podido dar valor a la presencia de puntos que no son más que la expresión de un proceso de alodinia generalizado”. Queremos decir con ello, que los enfermos de Fibromialgia son más sensibles al dolor que las personas sanas, en cualquier lugar que se les presione. Esto según Goldenberg 7, “corrobora la idea de que el principal factor del dolor es el sistema nervioso central, más que el sistema músculo esquelético…. De este modo se entiende el motivo por el cual la mayoría de personas con Fibromialgia, padecen dolores intestinales, en la vesícula biliar y en la pelvis”.
Figura. 1 Puntos de dolor antero – posteriores.
- Occipucio (inserción de músculos occipitales)
- Cervical inferior (espacio intervertebral C6-C7)
- Trapecios (punto medio del borde superior)
- Supraespinosos (origen supraescapular)
- Segundo espacio intercostal de la unión costocondral
- Epicóndilo lateral (dos centímetros distales de los epicóndilos)
- Glúteos (pliegue de los cuadrantes superiores de las nalgas)
- Trocánter mayor (protuberancia troncatérea)
- Rodilla (en la almohadilla de grasa de la cara interna de la rodilla)
Con todo ello llegamos a la conclusión que la FM tiene dos características principales:
- Dolor crónico generalizado de forma continua que puede llegar a inmovilizar a los pacientes, sobre todo por las mañanas. En medicina hablamos de dolor crónico, cuando hace por lo menos seis meses que está presente.
- Y dolor exagerado a la presión en las zonas del cuerpo antes expuestas. En este apartado distinguiremos la “alodinia” que es esa sensación de dolor producida por un estímulo que en principio no sería doloroso, y la “hiperalgesia” que es el dolor exagerado ocasionado por un estímulo que aunque normalmente pudiera resultar
1.2 Aspectos históricos
Esta afección está teniendo en nuestros días una gran popularidad. Los familiares de los pacientes que la sufren preguntan si es una enfermedad nueva, de la última década y/o “si es real o imaginaria”.
Pero la realidad es otra. Existen publicaciones médicas americanas del año 1800, donde se describen a un tipo de pacientes, generalmente mujeres, que reúnen ciertos síntomas como fatiga, la disminución del tono nervioso, la inapetencia y la alteración del estado general. A este tipo de disfunción se le denominó “neurastenia”8.
Al mismo tiempo en Europa, publicaciones médicas alemanas, francesas e inglesas describen que algunos pacientes que tenían esos mismos síntomas, sufrían además un dolor exagerado a la palpación de ciertas zonas. Se creía que era debido a una irritación de la columna. Con lo que se determinó que existía una forma de reumatismo muscular no deformante, en la cual el dolor se acompaña de hipersensibilidad al presionar ciertas zonas produciendo una irradiación del dolor.
En el siglo XX se empezó a utilizar el término “fibrositis” para definir la inflamación del tejido fibroso. Este término podía incluir todo lo que supusiera un dolor muscular fuera cual fuera la causa que lo produjera, pudiendo ser hechos aislados. En aquellos años se pensaba que la causa del dolor radicaba en una inflamación localizada dentro de los músculos y de los tejidos fibrosos. Con todo ello, los médicos ingleses, canadienses y americanos decidieron utilizar el nombre de “fibrositis” para designar los dolores en general.
Posteriormente tras biopsias de los tejidos musculares doloridos, se observó que éstas no tenían signos de inflamación en un grupo numeroso de pacientes que acudían a consulta por molestias y dolores musculares difusos. La opinión médica fue, que ya que no había pruebas que justificaran sus síntomas, posiblemente fuera porque la enfermedad era imaginaria y algunos médicos llegaron a diagnosticar a sus pacientes de “reumatismo psicógeno”

Pero no fue hasta 1970 aproximadamente, que un grupo de investigadores en Toronto señaló una serie de puntos dolorosos específicos, además del cansancio y las alteraciones del sueño. En el año 1981 como reconocimiento a la ausencia de fenómenos inflamatorios, se cambió el nombre de fibrositis, inflamación del tejido fibroso, por Fibromialgia, dolor en los músculos y tejido fibroso, hasta que en 1987, después de numerosos estudios científicos, se reconocía la existencia de la Fibromialgia como una entidad clínica.
Finalmente en 1992 la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS)9 reconoció a la Fibromialgia como un Síndrome con entidad propia y desde entonces han aumentado los estudios que se realizan para determinar la causa y para paliar los síntomas que se vuelven muy difíciles de soportar para el paciente que sufre dicho Síndrome.
1.3 Impacto de la Fibromialgia
1.3.1 Etiología de la Fibromialgia
Según nuestra experiencia, siempre hay más de una causa en cualquier condición de mala salud. El problema estriba en encontrarlas.
Aunque todavía no se conocen los mecanismos ni las causas que provoca la Fibromialgia, sí que como resultado de múltiples estudios, empiezan a coincidir unos puntos comunes:
El riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad la familia directa del paciente es de 8’5 veces mayor que en otros grupos10, así como que sus implicados tienen connotaciones similares, no solo en la salud física, sino también en la psicológica. Todo ello nos lleva a una posible base genética. Hay estudios que indican que algunos fenotipos genéticos son más frecuentes en los enfermos con Fibromialgia, como puede ser el caso del gen que regula la enzima catecol-o-metil-transferasa situado en el cromosoma 22 y ligado a la inactivación de la dopamina y las catacolaminas11. Otros investigadores relacionan la Fibromialgia con el gen que altera la producción de serotonina como causante de la depresión12 .
Algunos estudios nos muestran posibles alteraciones comunes en los pacientes con Fibromialgia como son
algunas alteraciones del eje hipotalamo-hipofisoadrenal (HHA), lo cual justificaría las alteraciones
Algunos médicos todavía hoy en día, no consideran que la Fibromialgia sea una enfermedad “seria”. Es más, con frecuencia los mismos familiares dudan de la veracidad de unas molestias que el enfermo refiere, puesto que el médico les informa que las pruebas analíticas y de imagen, son normales.
Hay diferentes opiniones de si es positivo decir al paciente que tiene Fibromialgia o no. En principio el paciente de Fibromialgia no tiene por qué ser hipocondríaco. Este aspecto lo tiene que valorar el clínico. La experiencia nos dice que por norma general, muchos pacientes con Fibromialgia tienen mucho ganado si reciben una explicación comprensible sobre la naturaleza de su proceso para así poder aceptar sus propias limitaciones y adaptarse a un nuevo estilo de vida. La búsqueda, el peregrinaje por los diferentes especialistas para saber qué tengo y qué me pasa ya lo ha resuelto y con ello, es cuestión de adaptarse y concienciarse a la nueva situación.
Así mismo es muy importante, que dicha información sea conocida en su ámbito laboral, social y sobre todo familiar. Cuando una mujer con Fibromialgia que acude a nuestra consulta por primera vez, le preguntamos si tiene apoyo de su marido, hijos y demás familiares que vivan con ella, y nos dice que sí, podemos garantizar que el ochenta por ciento de mejoría será en el plazo de 3 o 4 sesiones de terapia. Si por el contrario la paciente no se siente comprendida en su ámbito familiar y socio-laboral, la recuperación es muy lenta y el esfuerzo psico- emocional que tiene que hacer la paciente es mucho mayor creándole un aumento de la fatiga tanto física como mental.
1.3.3 Síntomas de la Fibromialgia
En resumen podemos decir que la Fibromialgia es un Síndrome (un conjuntos de signos y síntomas) que ocasiona dolores generalizados en todos los músculos, tendones y ligamentos del cuerpo. Los que sufren esta patología se quejan de que “les duele todo desde dentro”. Sienten un fuerte dolor en músculos y articulaciones, acompañado de una sensación de quemazón y/o fatiga muscular, incluidos los músculos de los ojos. Siempre están agotados y cansados, y el dolor puede llegar a ser invalidante. Los enfermos de Fibromialgia tienen

endocrinas en un buen porcentaje de pacientes, pero en este caso estaríamos hablando de consecuencias y

y nunca lo bastante profundo para ser reparador.
no de causa probable.13
Otra posible consecuencia es la alteración o desequilibrio del Sistema Nervioso Autónomo14. Esta disfunción explicaría los trastornos intestinales en parte, así como la taquicardia, las sudoraciones
1.3.2 Enfoque psicosocial de la Fibromialgia
Si la Fibromialgia se presenta como alteración única la llamaremos Fibromialgia primaria y si se presenta asociada a otras enfermedades o alteraciones, la llamaremos secundaria o concomitante.
Síntomas asociados a la Fibromialgia:
oDolor: Es un dolor difuso, mal delimitado, que afecta a un amplio porcentaje del cuerpo. A veces el dolor empieza de forma generalizada y otras veces en puntos concretos como las cervicales, los hombros, las lumbares,… y desde ahí se va extendiendo. El dolor puede venir indistintamente de día o de noche,

con el grado de actividad, cambios de tiempo, sueño insuficiente o el estrés. El dolor crónico activa una serie de procesos en el que intervienen diversas zonas del cerebro los cuales alteran los niveles psico-emocionales e incluso la memoria y el aprendizaje.
oRigidez: Se produce principalmente al levantarse por las mañanas o cuando hay cambios de tiempo bruscos, sobre todo de cara al invierno.
oAcroparestesias, de forma difusa en extremidades, sobre todo en manos.
oFatiga: Sienten que se les ha agotado la energía (“estoy como si me hubieran dado una paliza” “se me han agotado las pilas”…). La fatiga puede ser física y mental o bien las dos al mismo tiempo.
oTrastornos del sueño: La mayoría de pacientes se quejan de levantarse más cansados de lo que se han acostado. El sueño no es reparador. Esta alteración ha sido bien registrada por estudios electroencefalográficos. Los pacientes de Fibromialgia llegan con más dificultad y duran menos en el estadío IV de la fase no REM. En esta fase es donde podemos observar el cincuenta por ciento de ondas Delta y es la fase del sueño profundo reparador. En el caso de los enfermos de Fibromialgia16 decimos que, su sueño profundo se ve constantemente interrumpido por actividad cerebral de tipo ondas alfa, es decir, es como si se despertaran parcialmente, tuvieran pesadillas toda la noche incluso con sobresaltos-despertares, pues estas ondas son las que mantienen la situación de alerta del cerebro y no deberían estar presentes en esta fase profunda del sueño. Se han hecho estudios con personas sanas a las que se les ha interrumpido el sueño en momentos paralelos a los electroencefalogramas de las Fibromialgias, consiguiendo que al cabo de varios días las personas sanas sometidas al estudio desarrollaran síntomas de Fibromialgia. No se sabe si la presencia de estas ondas alfa está relacionada con la causa de la enfermedad o es consecuencia de la misma. Algunas personas con Fibromialgia tienen otros síntomas asociados a éste, tales como apnea nocturna, mioclonías del sueño y bruxismo.
oDolor de cabeza: pueden sufrir de procesos migrañosos, tensionales, cefaleas y dolor posterior de ojos, con alteración de la visión.
oSíndrome temporomandibular: dolor exagerado en la zona de las cervicales, hombros, cabeza y mandíbula. Se cree que el problema es del tejido blando que envuelven a esta articulación, no a la articulación en sí.
oTrastornos digestivos: molestias en estómago a una exploración normal, intestino irritable con estadios de estreñimiento alternado con diarrea, dolor abdominal, gases y náuseas. Candidas intestinales, en vagina…Hay autores que opinan que es el resorte que activa muchos de los casos de Fibromialgia.
oVejiga irritable: experimentan una necesidad de evacuar la vejiga sin poder aguantar, sin que tengan ningún tipo de infección. Tienen también la sensación de estar excitados sexualmente pero las relaciones son dolorosas y las tienen que interrumpir. Sensación de placer-dolor.
oDolores de pecho: estos dolores que a veces se confunden con cardiopatías, se les llama costocondralgia el cual se sitúa en la unión de las costillas y el esternón
oAlteraciones cognitivas y de memoria: Falta de concentración, lapsos de memoria, falta de coordinación al hablar o al escribir, torpes, aturdidos. Esto puede variar de un día para otro.
oDesequilibrio: algunos pacientes sobre todo al cambiar de postura, sienten mareos, desequilibrio y alteraciones de la coordinación motora.
oSensibilidad exagerada: Intolerancias alimenticias a alimentos que antes toleraba bien, alteración ante el ambiente, la luz, el ruido y a los olores. Cuando aumenta la humedad o el frío, los dolores son agudos o subagudos. Entendemos por dolor agudo al que dura menos de quince días y subagudo al que dura más de quince días y menos de seis meses.
oManos y pies fríos: Frío irracional en las extremidades que pueden estar acompañadas por cambio de color en la piel de pies y manos debido a un trastorno de la circulación (posible Síndrome de Raynaud). Acorchamiento, hormigueos, calambres musculares y hinchazón en las piernas.
oDepresión o ansiedad: en muchos pacientes estos síntomas son secundarios a la Fibromialgia por lo que significa socialmente o al estado de tensión y tristeza que produce estar siempre con dolor sin poder organizar nada con tu vida.
oTambién puede haber: menstruación dolorosa, síndrome de los ojos secos, boca seca, alteraciones de la visión como ya hemos dicho anteriormente, síntomas menopáusicos exacerbados, con sofocos intensos y desequilibrios hormonales (alteraciones del hipotálamo y/o del Sistema Nervioso Parasimpático).
1.3.4 Efecto placebo.
El efecto placebo es la mejora que obtienen algunas personas a la ingesta de cápsulas o inyectables de sustancias que no contienen principio activo alguno. A dichas sustancias las llamamos placebo.
Cuando una persona injiere una sustancia o es sometida a una terapia convencida que le va a ir bien, lo normal es que en el treinta por ciento de los casos el placebo funcione con respecto a la disminución de los síntomas en mayor o menor grado.
Del mismo modo, cuando un paciente acude a un médico y tras hacerle una breve exposición percibe que el médico le está atendiendo mirándole a los ojos y entendiéndole, cuando éste le explica el tratamiento que le va a pautar, las normas que tiene que seguir y le da seguridad en el diagnóstico y en el pronóstico, el paciente sale del despacho con el convencimiento que está mejor y que va a superar el trance por el que está pasando. Por el contrario, si el médico no le deja que le explique, no le pregunta, presupone qué es lo que tiene y aunque el facultativo haya llegado a la misma conclusión en el diagnóstico y tratamiento que el anterior médico, el paciente no percibe su seguridad, cuando salga del despacho, seguramente tirará las recetas, se

sentirá mal pensando que no tiene quién le ayude y aunque haga el tratamiento, al no hacerlo convencido, no obtendrá el resultado que obtendrá el primer paciente. Según todo lo anterior, también el médico produce efecto placebo en el paciente.
Se ha comprobado que el hecho de explicar al paciente en qué punto de su enfermedad está y cómo se va a llevar dicho cuadro, mejora la sintomatología del mismo. Esto tiene mucha importancia en la Fibromialgia por todas las variables que el cuadro representa.
Los beneficios del efecto placebo son variables en el tiempo ya que pueden durar un minuto o años.
Hay que tener en cuenta que el efecto placebo funciona porque se activa la función de las endorfinas.
La buena relación médico-paciente en donde exista entendimiento y confianza mutua, es la mejor base para garantizar el máximo de mejoría.
1.4 Diagnóstico de la Fibromialgia
No es fácil diagnosticar la Fibromialgia con tantos diagnósticos diferenciales y tantas variables. Estamos de acuerdo con el Dr. Martínez-Lavín17 en que para entender enfermedades como la Fibromialgia, es fundamental adoptar un modelo médico integral u “holístico” que considere al ser humano como una unidad biopsicosocial.
La Fibromialgia es un cuadro que aún hoy en día, tiende a confundir al profesional de la medicina, ya que casi todos sus síntomas son comunes a otras patologías. Lo normal cuando una persona se siente enferma es que el primer síntoma que le hace frenar de su vida cotidiana, sea el dolor. De inmediato o tras recetarle en AP (Atención Primaria) un antiinflamatorio, es que lo deriven a traumatología donde le harán las pruebas pertinentes, las cuales saldrán normales. Mientras dura este proceso (el cual muchas veces es largo en el tiempo), el paciente se siente más sensible emocionalmente e irritable, síntomas que trascienden así mismo en su trabajo, en su vida social y sobre todo, en la familia. Al mismo tiempo tiene problemas digestivos y lo envían al digestólogo (pruebas), no duerme bien y todas las pruebas salen normales, se le deriva al neuropsiquiatra (medicación, pruebas)… y el proceso sin encontrar un diagnóstico aceptable hace que el paciente se sienta cada vez con más ansiedad e inseguridad a la vez que hundido ya que aunque tiene mucho dolor y malestar, nadie le cree. Y esto sin tener en cuenta que en las pruebas de TAC o RNM encuentren una protusión discal por ejemplo, y le operen creyendo que ésa era la causa.
Cuando estudiaba en la Facultad, el Prof. de Pediatría nos explicaba que para diagnosticar a un niño hay que escuchar a la madre y que en el ochenta por ciento de las veces, la madre nos daba el diagnóstico de su hijo o una “pista” acertada que ayudará en el diagnóstico. En el caso de la Fibromialgia, el diagnóstico vendrá en un ochenta por ciento del historial clínico. Tenemos que dedicarle tiempo a nuestro paciente e irlo/a guiando para que nos expliquen no solamente los sitios donde les duele sino también hacerles una batería de preguntas para extraer la
información que consideremos más necesaria y válida para el tratamiento del paciente en cada etapa. De este modo el clínico obtendrá la información y el paciente la confianza de que le están haciendo un estudio completo.
1.5 Tratamientos de la Fibromialgia
Como en todos los casos donde no se sabe la causa, no existe un tratamiento único y eficaz.
Lo que sí tenemos que tener claro es que el paciente debe saber qué le pasa, qué tiene y que debe colaborar para que su calidad de vida sea lo mejor posible. Como dice el Dr. Martínez-Pintor18, “Si el médico no es capaz de transmitir al paciente que para su curación tiene que utilizar el cien por cien de sus energías, de su fuerza, de sus ganas de ponerse bien; si no es capaz de transmitirle eso, entonces estaremos haciendo una medicina sesgada, farmacológica, “pastillera”. Necesitamos la colaboración del paciente. Ningún paciente con una enfermedad dolorosa crónica se cura, y ni siquiera mejora, si no pone todo su esfuerzo y toda su energía”.
El tratamiento está dirigido a cada paciente de modo personalizado y mirará de paliar la sintomatología que le invalida. No existe ningún medicamento específico para la Fibromialgia que haya estado aprobado por la Agencia Europea del Medicamento o la Food and Drug Administración estadounidense.
Por ello, para la Fibromialgia se utiliza un tipo de tratamiento que no es curativo sino que pretende ser preventivo de unos síntomas y paliativo de otros.
- Tratamiento farmacológico
oAntiinflamatorios y analgésicos: Hay estudios que afirman una moderada reducción del dolor de antiinflamatorios no esteroides (AINES) con Alprazolam19 .
oRelajantes musculares: No existe evidencia de la eficacia en el tiempo por lo que se considera que sus efectos iniciales pueden estar sujetos al efecto placebo.
oAntidepresivos tricíclicos: que se combinan con inhibidores selectivos de la recaptación de serotonina.
El médico decidirá en cada caso cómo y cuándo combinar los medicamentos, así como cuándo irlos cambiando en periodos cíclicos, teniendo en cuenta la gravedad y la calidad de vida del paciente.
- Tratamiento psicológico
El tratamiento no obstante debería ser multidisciplinar con la coordinación de un especialista en Fibromialgia.

Con respecto a los tratamientos psicológicos específicos, encontramos dos de significativos que consistentes en la modificación de hábitos, creencias y estrategias de afrontamiento.
Estos son los siguientes:
- Cognitivo – Conductual: los componentes que se han mostrado eficaces en la recuperación de otros tipos de dolor, como el lumbar, las cefaleas, el dolor de brazo y hombro y el dolor crónico. Con ella, los pacientes consiguen ganar control sobre el impacto del dolor y sobre el funcionamiento físico.202122
- Educación, Información y Concienciación: la información, educación y concienciación en el Síndrome de Fibromialgia forman parte de la condición control del paciente con su sintomatología. De esta manera combate con herramientas propias, momentos difíciles, durante la evolución individual de la enfermedad. Se acostumbra a completar con ejercicios cardiovasculares como andar, nadar, etc.
La combinación de ambas técnicas produce efectos sinérgicos al mejorar los efectos de los síntomas.23
1.6 Tratamiento actual de la Fibromialgia con Biorresonancia-SCIO
Este Estudio es el resultado de observaciones sobre fenómenos que acaecían en nuestros pacientes y que empezaron a llamar nuestra atención hace veinticinco años (1983). ¿Por qué en un grupo de cinco pacientes de más o menos la misma edad, el mismo sexo, diagnosticados por el mismo médico (mismos criterios), tomando la misma medicación, diagnosticados de artrosis de rodilla, sin exceso de peso por encima de cinco kilos, más o menos de la misma clase socio-económica y que en el centro de Fisioterapia se les aplicaba la misma terapéutica, a unos se les solucionaba la sintomatología y a otros, no? A partir de este fenómeno empezamos a valorar otros aspectos como, si tenían apoyo laboral mientras estaban en tratamiento o no. Había empresas que les habían cambiado temporalmente a puestos que no fueran de carga para la articulación, y en cambio otros que en vez de eso, los propios compañeros les presionaban ya que si no “rendían” estaban perjudicando a sus compañeros: carga de culpabilidad para el paciente. Al llegar a casa, la ayuda o no de la familia, la comprensión o no de la familia y/o amistades, era otro agravante. Esto nos llevó a la conclusión que las personas que más les costaba de recuperarse eran las que psicológicamente estaban más presionadas. Por lo tanto, una artrosis de rodilla no era solo una función mecánica en una persona, sino que se producía una alteración física, pero también psíquica y emocional, por la presión laboral, sentimiento de culpabilidad, irritabilidad, desilusión, tristeza, rabia incluso pudiendo llegar a síntomas ansiosos e incluso depresivos.
En 1994, entramos en contacto directo con el diagnóstico de Fibromialgia. Hacía tiempo que íbamos observando a un grupo de pacientes que siempre tenían un dolor u otro, inespecífico, “sordo” y profundo, con carácter irascible y susceptibles, que normalmente no tenían “nada”. Que sus maridos, familia y amigos (eran todas mujeres en un principio), nos decían que no tenían nada y que lo que querían era llamar la atención del marido, hijos, grupos
social….Como decíamos, a finales de 1994, nos llegó una paciente diagnosticada de Fibromialgia. Fue duro por nuestra

parte en un principio admitir que no existía una prueba diagnóstica ni de bioquímica ni de imagen que confirmara dicho diagnóstico, pero como ya habíamos observado el perfil desde hacía bastante tiempo, nos dispusimos a crear un protocolo de trabajo.
Al hacer la exploración observamos una diferencia de temperatura a lo largo de la espalda. Había zonas frías que no concordaban con las zonas dolorosas y más rígidas. En estas zonas aplicábamos calor local, y en las zonas de dolor, el TEC Recuperador Electrónico de Indiva (Transferencia Eléctrica Capacitiva), de forma suave y penetrante. Posteriormente se le practicaba un masaje suave de relajación con un despegamiento suave y sin dolor de las zonas más contracturadas y rígidas. El masaje siempre sin dolor.
Enseguida nos dimos cuenta que estos no era suficiente, que el paciente necesitaba hablar y explicar cómo se sentía y lo más importante, darse cuenta que le creíamos. Con lo cual, durante el tratamiento del TEC (30’), aprovechábamos para añadir psicoterapia.
El paciente tipo, se iba animando y abriendo cada vez más hasta que nos confesó que sufría de taquicardias y palpitaciones sin patología identificada y que no podía dormir, levantándose más cansado que cuando se había ido a la cama. Con ello añadimos ejercicios de respiración (combinación de abdominales con torácicos) que tenía que hacer pautados y además combinarlos con una técnica de relajación que le enseñábamos en el centro y servía para “desprogramar el exceso de revoluciones” tal y cómo nosotros observábamos que le iban los pensamientos. Les aconsejábamos que cada día hicieran unos ejercicios para mantener la flexibilidad músculo esquelética y que salieran cada día a la calle tanto si tenían ganas como si no. También nos comentaban que tenían problemas intestinales, hinchazón…, a lo que les aconsejábamos que comieran más unos alimentos que otros y en algún caso les habíamos recomendado alguna dieta.
No obstante de tanto trabajo, dedicación y lucha para mejorar el cuadro de unos pacientes que cuando menos lo esperas empeoran. ¡Cómo nos hubiera gustado tener una bañera donde introducir completamente al paciente, con efectos antiálgicos y antiinflamatorios!
A finales de 1997, nos presentaron un sistema de terapia de Biorresonancia basado en la retroalimentación (Biofeedback) como manera de terapia. Obviamente nuestros conocimientos de que existiera algo así eran escasos, no obstante después de estudiar el software que llevaba instalado para su manejo, observamos que contemplaba al ser humano a nivel físico, psíquico y emocional. Los primeros tratamientos fueron diversos y de tanteo hasta que nos decidimos con la Fibromialgia. Al principio los resultados no eran espectaculares ya que existen muchos parámetros variables. No obstante fuimos adaptándonos con el tiempo, dándonos cuenta que si el sistema de Biorresonancia-SCIO nos mostraba las alteraciones bioelectromagnéticas y la base de este sistema de Biorresonancia, es su capacidad para evaluar los parámetros físicos y psico-emocionales de la persona, equilibrando las alteraciones que presente en su campo energético, teníamos muchas posibilidades de trabajo. De esta manera fuimos valorando en el equipo una vez
testada/escaneada la persona, aquellos parámetros que tuviera alterados con el fin de equilibrarlos. Estos parámetros

se basaron en todo lo sintomático y en los estudios que se habían hecho para saber qué hay alterado y cuáles son las consecuencias de la Fibromialgia. Por ejemplo valoramos y equilibramos los parámetros que en el software se denominan como: reparación del sistema nervioso autónomo, EEG, ECG, Tetosterona, Cortisol, Serotonina, Neurotransmisores, Emociones, reparación muscular, neurológica, reparación del tejido lesionado, reducción de estrés, balance hormonal, corrección del flujo de la energía espinal, absorción de nutrientes (proteínas, carbohidratos, grasas, vitaminas, minerales…), enzimas implicadas en la nutrición, hormonas implicadas en la nutrición …
Fue a partir de este momento que nos dimos cuenta que los pacientes no solamente mejoraban mucho más, aumentando su calidad de vida y poniendo una esperanza en el futuro, sino que además si se hacía un mantenimiento de una vez al mes (dependiendo de cada caso), podíamos ir reequilibrando aquellas frecuencias que se iban alterando incluso antes de que fueran sintomáticas.
Esto nos animó a realizar este estudio y observar con el máximo de rigor científico el resultado final de la Fibromialgia con Biorresonancia-SCIO.

Figura. 2. Programa de Biofísica impartido en la UB y la UPC
El abordaje de la Medicina desde el campo de la Biofísica exige superar toda una serie de
limitaciones de la Física Oficial que investigadores como el Profesor Dr. Fidel Franco24 están desarrollando desde hace
bastantes años mediante la Teoría del Campo
Unificado. Por este motivo, introduciremos algunos de los conceptos desarrollados por este investigador para explicar los fundamentos teóricos y, posteriormente, explicar el funcionamiento del aparato SCIO utilizado como herramienta terapéutica en esta tesina.
La base teórica del concepto de Campo Unificado, es considerar que todas las formas de energía son la misma energía. Ésta es la premisa básica para comprender que todos los sistemas biológicos, son sensibles a la acción de cualquier energía exterior expresada por medio de un campo físico.
La forma más eficaz de intervenir en cualquier sistema físico, es a través de un fenómeno de resonancia, pues con energías muy débiles se consigue transmitir la máxima energía al interior del mismo. Este hecho se constata por la

variación de la conductividad del sistema tratado en función de la frecuencia. Decimos que se da un fenómeno de resonancia cuando la conductividad del sistema es máxima para un campo de una frecuencia dada. Además todo sistema físico está caracterizado mediante dos o más picos de absorción de energía o frecuencias de resonancia.
Iniciaremos esta introducción comentando diversos ejemplos de sistemas y, posteriormente, nos detendremos en el ser humano para analizar las frecuencias básicas del ser humano, sus características y propiedades y extraer conclusiones prácticas.
2.1 Teoría del campo unificado
Para entender los efectos de resonancia y adaptarlos a la resonancia en organismos vivos, es decir, poder hablar de la llamada biorresonancia, primero tenemos que detenernos a describir unos parámetros de “unificación”, pues nosotros formamos parte de la estructura de un Universo donde todo está interrelacionado.
La Teoría del Campo Unificado25 describe las propiedades físicas del campo que engloba todos y cada uno de los objetos y fenómenos que puedan tener lugar en la naturaleza.
2.2 Metodología de la teoría del campo unificado
- La heterogeneidad de la materia, es decir, vamos a asumir de entrada un hecho que todos conocemos: la materia es completamente heterogénea, como las personas y los objetos son distintos entre sí. Los líquidos se disponen en capas distribuidas según su densidad, así como los gases. Lo mismo ocurre en el Universo, donde las Galaxias son muy distintas entre sí, como ha de ocurrir en distintas regiones de nuestra Galaxia e incluso de nuestro Sistema Solar. El vacío no existe pues todo lo inunda una radiación de fondo, que será diferente en cada zona, incluida nuestra Galaxia e incluso nuestro Sistema Solar.
- Todo proceso en la Naturaleza es una transformación. Es decir, considerando cualquier proceso de la Naturaleza y un observador solidario con los objetos físicos que intervienen en el mismo, éste ha de observar cambios en parámetros físicos tales como la conductividad y la frecuencia de dichos cuerpos.
- Nada puede ocurrir al azar: no es viable ni el azar ni el caos .Todo obedece a una Ley Física y por esta razón asumimos la validez de la Ciencia. En dicho marco el objetivo de la Ciencia es predecir cómo han de evolucionar los procesos.
- La tendencia de los cuerpos en la Naturaleza no es hacia el desorden sino hacia el desorden organizado. Ello se ha puesto de manifiesto en el estudio de un conjunto de rotores de motores muy débilmente acoplados que llegan a sincronizarse si se espera un tiempo suficientemente largo. Los planetas del
Sistema Solar están sincronizados entre sí. Las manchas solares corresponden a agrupamiento de planetas a un lado de la eclíptica.
- No existe el orden ni el desorden, pues ambas son categorías que implican unos prejuicios culturales respecto a las diferentes formas de comportamiento en la Naturaleza. Cualquier forma de comportamiento de la Naturaleza, aunque no sea comprendida no merece ningún tipo de descalificación. Todo lo contrario, cualquier descalificación acerca del comportamiento de la Naturaleza es una proyección de nuestra propia valoración acerca de sus Leyes y el papel que nosotros jugamos en ella.
- No debemos confundir impredictibilidad con indeterminismo. Asumir la impredictibilidad es aceptar la ignorancia. Asumir el indeterminismo, es considerar que la Naturaleza carece de Leyes.
- Todo proceso incluye el resultado. El resultado está ligado al proceso y no puede ser analizado al margen del proceso.
- No debemos confundir determinismo con predestinación pues si el resultado está ligado al proceso, obviamente dicho resultado depende de cómo se lleva a cabo el proceso. Ejemplo: La genética del ser humano.
- Si hablamos en términos temporales todo proceso de la Naturaleza ha de tener una duración finita, porque finita es la cantidad de energía que interviene en el mismo.
- Si utilizamos una metodología de trabajo en que pretendemos llegar desde lo particular a lo general, recurriendo al método analítico, hemos de tener en cuenta que dicho método puede tener consecuencias perversas pues “al aislar los objetos del todo que los contiene” fácilmente caemos en el gravísimo error de olvidarnos de la unidad frente a la individualidad.
Caso de utilizar el método analítico, que es uno de los métodos usuales en nuestra cultura, debemos trabajar por lograr la Unificación y desde la Unidad restringirnos a lo particular una vez establecido un método de individualización o identificación de los objetos y procesos analizados. - Cualquier Teoría Física debe cumplir tres requisitos:
Sencillez, para que todos la podamos entender y utilizar
Eficacia, para que podamos extraer el máximo de resultados prácticos en todos los ámbitos de la vida
Unificación, para que pueda abarcar en cada período cultural todos los conocimientos y preocupaciones de dicho período y para que pueda integrar en su seno a los seres vivos, incluido el ser humano. En la medida que incluya al ser humano debe dar respuestas a los problemas de la vida y contribuir a la evolución espiritual del mismo.

- En el fondo, la Ciencia no hace otra cosa que aprender de la Naturaleza y, si actúa sin prejuicios, llegará a comprender que cualquier proceso se realiza con el mínimo de Energía, o sea, los tres requisitos anteriores: sencillez, eficacia y unificación.
2.3 Todas las formas de energía son la misma energía
El Campo Unificado es un campo central. Esto implica que el Universo tenga un comportamiento cíclico, con periodos de sístole y de diástole que se suceden alternativamente. Por tanto, cualquier campo que podamos describir está incluido en el Campo Unificado y tendrá las propiedades del mismo.
Así mismo todo campo tiene su origen en la energía y actúa sobre la energía, es decir, la energía es el parámetro fundamental de todos los procesos. En otras palabras, el patrón principal necesario para analizar su comportamiento y estructura es la energía cuya característica es la siguiente
“La energía es siempre la misma tan sólo tiene diferentes manifestaciones y aplicaciones”.
Prueba de ello es que la energía eléctrica es indistinguible a pesar de que se puede obtener por diferentes procesos:
Origen solar (generador fotovoltaico)……………………energía eléctrica Origen eólico (generador eólico)……………………….…energía eléctrica Origen químico (baterías)……………………………………energía eléctrica Origen nuclear (central nuclear)…………………………..energía eléctrica Origen térmico (fuel-oil o carbón)…………………..……..energía eléctrica Origen gravitacional (central hidroeléctrica)……………energía eléctrica
La energía eléctrica siempre ha sido energía eléctrica sin encontrar diferencia alguna independientemente del medio obtenido para su obtención.
Analicemos esta afirmación:
oSegún la Ciencia clásica todos los campos de energía se descomponen en cuatro fuerzas: Gravitatoria, Electromagnética, Fuerte y Débil. Sin embargo, la Teoría del Campo Unificado considera que todos se reducen a un campo de fuerzas único.
A continuación hagamos un breve recordatorio de los llamados efectos giromagnéticos, para comprender mejor la relación entre los campos electromagnéticos y los campos gravitatorios:
- Efecto Barnett: Un cuerpo que gira con velocidad angular uniforme adquiere una imanación
- Efecto Einstein-de Haas: Un cuerpo, suspendido libremente, comienza a girar al ser imanado.
- Efecto Stewart-Tolman: En el seno de un anillo en rotación no uniforme aparece una fuerza electromotriz, por lo que puede medirse una intensidad
- Un cuerpo sometido a una fuerza exterior que le produce una aceleración, muestra la presencia de un campo eléctrico puesto que se mide una corriente.
Es decir, el campo magnético se puede comparar con una rotación (como la corriente que circula a través de los hilos de una bobina que crea campos magnéticos), y el campo eléctrico también se puede comparar con aceleraciones lineales.
En consecuencia, un cuerpo como un astro o planeta tiene un campo magnético asociado por el mero hecho de girar alrededor de su eje, si tiene carga eléctrica asimétrica, aunque la intensidad y dirección varíen según la composición del planeta.
En el campo biológico y en el rango de muy bajas frecuencias, se pueden analizar por separado los efectos del campo eléctrico y los efectos del campo magnéticos. Un ejemplo de los efectos de los campos magnéticos sobre los tejidos biológicos los podemos encontrar en gran número trabajos sobre magnetoterapia publicados en la revista internacional “Bioelectromagnetics”.
En el área de la biología y la medicina se trabaja con campos electromagnéticos y en muchos casos sólo magnéticos aprovechando dicho campo en distintos rangos de frecuencias dependiendo de la indicación terapéutica: bajas, altas o medias.
Los procesos de oxidación-reducción asociados a los campos eléctricos o magnéticos, tienen gran importancia a nivel terapéutico, pues ayudan a comprender los procesos de oxidación-reducción y gracias a la comprensión de los mismos se pueden desarrollar métodos que favorezcan los procesos de reducción en el organismo o contribuyan a frenar los procesos de oxidación en el mismo. Por ejemplo, los parámetros de oxidación-reducción de las enzimas y hormonas son de gran relevancia para la evolución de enfermedades degenerativas y/o crónicas. Por ello ocupan un lugar importante en la terapéutica de Biofeedback-SCIO con Biorresonancia.

El concepto de espacio (distancia) es muy relativo y el tiempo en recorrer esa distancia también es relativo pues dependiendo de la potencia del vehículo (energía) que se utilice para hacer ese recorrido (espacio), podemos necesitar más o menos tiempo en recorrerlo.
Para cada observador el espacio y el tiempo son relativos ya que dependen de la energía que se implique en el proyecto. Por ello hablamos de sensación espacial y sensación temporal. En consecuencia seguimos insistiendo en que la energía es el parámetro fundamental de todos los procesos y, por tanto, el tiempo es una medida de la energía invertida en un proceso.
En la Teoría del Campo Unificado se dice que la energía, la cual en estado condensado llamamos materia, es el soporte del espacio-tiempo. Es decir, el Universo ha de contener energía en todos sus puntos.
Al fijarnos en el ser humano, observamos que el ser humano forma parte del Universo y, por tanto, toda su energía que hasta ahora era calificada como física, psíquica y emocional, en realidad son manifestaciones de procesos biológicos que se manifiestan tanto en el interior como en el exterior por medio de campos que interaccionan entre sí.
Esto explica que podamos intervenir en la materia o en cualquier ser vivo por diversos caminos: por ejemplo,
- a través de la energía de un producto donde su acción viene dada a través de la energía que participa en las reacciones químicas,
- por medio de la energía de campos de frecuencias muy elevadas como pueden ser los infrarrojos o la luz, o bien
- por medio de campos de frecuencias mucho más bajas.
2.5 Las oscilaciones
Según el Prof. Dr. F. Franco, todos los procesos de la Naturaleza son del tipo oscilante porque el Campo Unificado es un campo central, es decir, en cualquier sistema identificado, siempre podemos encontrar una referencia dentro del mismo sistema. En consecuencias las soluciones de las ecuaciones de todos los procesos pueden ser representadas por funciones oscilantes: Todo oscila en la Naturaleza y el equilibrio viene dado por la oscilación. Como las oscilaciones de la economía, estaciones, día y noche, meteorología, etc.
Todos los procesos físicos de la Tierra están ligados al sistema solar y sobre todo al sol que es la referencia en dicho sistema. Un ejemplo, lo tenemos en la heliotaraxia que estudia la relación entre las oscilaciones del sistema solar y los ciclos biológicos observados en la Tierra.

órgano enferma, la radiación emitida por el órgano cambia. Explicado de una manera sencilla, nuestro cuerpo es una colección de órganos y de las ondas que emanan en todos los proceso metabólicos. Dependiendo de las características de las señales emitidas es posible saber si una persona tiene alteración en un órgano o no. En suma, órganos, bacterias, hormonas, aminoácidos…, emiten una radiación mesurable con aparatología de medición bioeléctrica.
Conclusión, todo es energía y toda energía se transmite por medio de ondas, ya sean de sonido (bajas frecuencias), luz (altas frecuencias), radiación ultravioleta, etc.
Si tenemos en cuenta que cada onda transporta una energía, y que cada ser humano es el resultado del todo el conjunto de energías que lo forman, podemos decir con toda propiedad que al igual que otro objeto de la Naturaleza, el ser humano es así mismo energía.

La resonancia se puede definir como un intercambio de energía entre osciladores sincronizados.
Puesto que todos los sistemas de la Naturaleza son oscilantes, en todos los sistemas físicos puede darse fenómenos de resonancia.
En cualquier sistema de la Naturaleza incluidos los seres vivos siempre existe la oscilación: Cada órgano humano

Figura 7. Curva de resonancia en watts
Para dos o más frecuencias, cualquier sistema físico permite la entrada de una gran cantidad de energía que oscila en dicha frecuencia. Se dice que el sistema tiene una elevada conductividad para esta frecuencia.
Aplicar energía sobre un sistema aprovechando un fenómeno de resonancia es la forma más eficiente de intervenir en dicho sistema pues gran parte de la energía aplicada es absorbida por el sistema. De esta manera con energías muy débiles se consigue transmitir la máxima energía a su interior y también a su vez pueden detectarse alteraciones inducidas por dicha energía. Si nos encontramos lejos de la resonancia, entonces la energía aplicada es reflejada o transmitida por el sistema mismo pero la energía apenas es absorbida.
Ejemplos de picos de resonancia en diferentes objetos físicos: 1.-Cuarzo (en ordenadas la transmisión del material):
Figura. 8. Pico de resonancia en cuarzo.
El cuarzo tiene un pico de resonancia en frecuencias del infrarrojo correspondientes a ondas de una longitud que ronda las 10 μm (1100cm-1), muy próxima a la radiación corporal de 37º C.
2.-Solución de hemoglobina al 22%:
Figura 9. Pico de resonancia en una disolución de hemoglobina.
Una disolución de hemoglobina al 22% tiene una conductividad que varía con la frecuencia tal como vemos en el gráfico. Puesto que la escala es logarítmica el máximo se encontraría por encima de los 10 kHz. Por ello no nos extrañe que se haya observado el máximo número de infartos cuando hay tempestades eléctricas con picos de 28 kHz.
3.-Metales en el rango de las frecuencias ópticas:
Los metales tienen picos de absorción en el rango del visible. Ejemplo de la figura son los picos de absorción del oro en el rango de de los 3-4 eV
Figura. 10. Pico de resonancia del oro 4.-Cualquier sistema mecánico:
Por efectos del viento, los puentes presentan oscilaciones de cimbreo y de torsión que son máximas para unas determinadas velocidades del viento en que se originan vórtices cuya frecuencia de oscilación entra en resonancia con la estructura.

2.8 El ser humano desde una perspectiva energética
Según la Medicina Tradicional China (MTC), el ser humano es “un microuniverso dentro del macrouniverso”.
Si utilizamos el concepto de sistema disipativo desarrollado por Ilya Prigogine26 en su Teoría de las Estructuras disipativas, se puede analizar al ser humano como un sistema disipativo unificado abierto en un régimen no lineal más o menos cíclico, formado por un gran número de subsistemas disipativos unificados, abiertos, acoplados y en equilibrio dinámico, organizados en esferas funcionales, y que interactúan coordinadamente. Aunque cada uno de ellos tiene una frecuencia de resonancia propia, sin embargo se organizan en diferentes niveles energéticos y tienden a buscar una frecuencia propia de resonancia que da pie a procesos de sincronicidad.
Así mismo, el ser humano es una Unidad, afirma el Prof. Dr. F. Franco27, pero si también podemos considerar que está formado por una serie de tejidos acoplados entre sí y, como cualquier sistema, debe presentar dos frecuencias propias de acoplamiento: una de ellas en el rango de muy bajas frecuencias y otra correspondiente a frecuencias en el rango del infrarrojo.
Figura 12. Frecuencia de acoplamiento: muy bajas frecuencias a la izquierda y altas frecuencias a la derecha
El grado de acoplamiento entre los tejidos puede ser evaluado por un parámetro “S “que asociamos al sistema inmunitario. Pues bien, con el modelo teórico del ser humano se deduce que el Sistema Inmunitario depende de dos parámetros: conductividad y susceptibilidad magnética de los tejidos. Eso quiere decir que es posible evaluar el efecto de los campos sobre el ser humano analizando de qué manera cambian las propiedades físicas de los tejidos sobre los cuales actúan.
Hemos de matizar que el concepto de Sistema Inmunitario que aquí utilizamos abarca tres niveles Nivel 1: Defensivo, pero sin abusar del mismo como hace la Medicina Alopática.
Nivel 2: Equilibrador energético. Asumido parcialmente por la Medicina Alopática, pero coincidiendo con la filosofía de las medicinas energéticas y medicina tradicional china.
Nivel 3: El Sistema Inmunitario dirige la conducta. Esta conclusión es comprensible si recordamos la interacción entre el Sistema Inmunológico y el Sistema Neurológico a través de los neuropéptidos e inmunopéptidos.
Llamaremos “la mente” a la coordinación o acoplamiento de todos los tejidos que componen al ser
humano. Por tanto, el cuerpo es un terminal de la mente.

Analizado como individuo, afirma el Prof. Dr. F. Franco28, el ser humano forma parte del Campo Unificado y decimos que se relaciona con el mundo a través de un proceso que llamamos “percepción“, donde capta sólo aquellas frecuencias de energía con las que sintoniza. En otras palabras, el proceso de percepción tiene lugar a través de un fenómeno de resonancia.
Pues bien, dado que la conducta está ligada a la percepción y ésta a su vez depende del nivel de sintonía o resonancia con el mundo que le rodea, llegamos a la conclusión que el parámetro de equilibrio de un ser humano, se incrementa en la medida que aumenta su nivel de integración o acoplamiento al Universo. La integración del ser humano en el Universo, consiste en aceptar y asimilar las Leyes del Campo Unificado y darles contenido práctico en cada uno de las distintas facetas de la vida. Para ello es básico conocer las Leyes que rigen nuestro Universo.
2.8.1 Aplicaciones prácticas
Según el desarrollo expuesto anteriormente por el Dr. Franco, existen tres conclusiones a tener en cuenta para las aplicaciones prácticas.
1.-Una primera aplicación práctica de estos resultados es que podemos clasificar las enfermedades en “frías “y “calientes“, coincidiendo con el Sr. Lezaeta29.
a) Las enfermedades calientes son las que se manifiestan por un acusado incremento en la emisión de radiación en el rango del infrarrojo, es decir, cursan mediante fiebre pues el organismo reacciona elevando la temperatura, (frecuencia de resonancia) como método de estabilización. Muchas de estas enfermedades son de tipo infeccioso. Son las que tienen una curación más fácil y donde han sido más eficaces las vacunas y los antibióticos.
b) Las enfermedades frías se desarrollan sin incrementos importantes de la temperatura, como ocurre con las enfermedades de tipo neurológico. Por ser enfermedades frías, donde la frecuencia de resonancia está en el rango de muy bajas frecuencias, los campos magnéticos de muy baja frecuencia resultan de gran eficacia en todos los casos: fibromialgia, esclerosis múltiple, Parkinson y enfermedades de la percepción.
2.-Cada una de estas frecuencias es la envolvente de todo un rango de frecuencias detectables mediante técnicas detalladas de biorresonancia, que pueden ser aplicables a tratamientos sintomáticos.
3.-El tratamiento terapéutico pasaría por tres niveles
a) tratamiento energético general sin concretar en cuál de las dos frecuencias nos estamos centrando. Ejemplo: alimentación concebida como ahorro de energía y estabilización.
b) tratamiento energético de estabilización por medio de una o ambas frecuencias de resonancia
c) tratamientos sintomáticos de problemas planteados.
2.9 Definición de biorresonancia
En Física se considera que el fenómeno se produce al coincidir la frecuencia propia de un sistema mecánico, eléctrico, etc., con la frecuencia de una excitación externa. Es decir, si una enfermedad se desarrolló en el estómago la emisión de radiación emitida por dicho órgano debe variar y, por tanto dicho desequilibrio es detectable por la radiación emitida por dicho órgano.
En nuestro caso las radiaciones emitidas por un órgano, son detectadas por un aparato de Biorresonancia de forma similar a la sintonización de las diferentes emisoras de un transistor o un aparato de televisión.
A continuación se lleva a cabo un proceso de recogida de datos, valoración y selección de la información recibida. En este proceso el mismo organismo se autorrecalibra de forma continua, pero aplica filtros para el consciente. Por ejemplo: El ojo es una perfecta cámara visual. Si nuestro consciente viera todo lo que nuestro ojo capta, no podríamos absorber tanta información. Lo mismo sucede con el oído, el olfato, el sentido…
A nivel inconsciente tenemos toda la información de nuestro organismo tanto física, como psíquica y mental, pero también es filtrada por el consciente. Sin embargo, se puede producir un fenómeno de resonancia con la frecuencia de las señales recibidas y almacenadas por el aparato de Biorresonancia.
En la práctica la formación reticular filtra la mayor parte de esta información y solo permite a unas cien mil señales alcanzar nuestra mente consciente por lo que nuestra mente consciente no aprovecha toda la realidad percibida.
2.10 Definición de Biofeedback
Una vez recogida la información, existen sistemas que aprovechan los datos recogidos, para efectuar directamente tratamientos mediante señales electromagnéticas de distintos rangos de frecuencias. En la medida que el aparato de tratamiento incorpore algún sistema para captar la información y corregir u orientar el método de tratamiento, podremos calificar a dicho sistema, como un sistema “biorresonante con sistema biofeedbak incluido”.
Habitualmente los sistemas de este tipo están diseñados para tratamientos específicos, sin embargo el aparato Quantum-Scio, que trabaja en un rango muy amplio de frecuencias, incluye el sistema biofeedback para todos los

tratamientos que es capaz de efectuar. Con ello se consigue realizar tratamientos energéticos muy completos y desde diferentes perspectivas.
- SISTEMA DE BIORRESONANCIA, BIOFEEDBACK-SCIO EL APARATO EPFX/ SCIO 3.1.Aparato EPFX/SCIO
El “SCIO” del latín: Saber, es un sofisticado sistema auxiliar de pre-diagnóstico, con la mayoría de sus funciones de aplicación automática. Esta caja de Biorresonancia, fue creada y desarrollada por el Prof. William C. Nelson30, uno de esos escasos investigadores independientes, oriundo de Ohio (Warren, 19 de junio de 1951).
Durante su investigación, se interesó por un número de sistemas bioeléctricos previamente desarrollados por otros investigadores: los sistemas “Vega”, “ Voll” y “Mora”, y las unidades de estimulación eléctrica craneal “CES” (Cranial Electro Stimulation). Todas estas unidades aplicadas al pre-diagnóstico de problemas de salud, evalúan la respuesta eléctrica del cuerpo por las señales emitidas por el mismo o bien actúan sobre el organismo aplicando señales magnéticas con el objetivo de tratar dichas enfermedades. El problema es que no pueden realizar ambos procesos de forma simultánea.
También estudió los sistemas de pequeñas energías del cuerpo: los meridianos de acupuntura, la kinesiología aplicada o testado muscular, etc.
El desequilibrio de cualquiera de estos sistemas energéticos del organismo, es un indicador de que algo empieza a fallar en nuestro organismo. Sería el momento de prevenir una enfermedad. El Prof. W.C. Nelson, diseñó un sistema completo que testara y equilibrara los niveles energéticos del organismo. A este sistema se le denominó “Quantum Xrroid Consciousness Interface”: SCIO1
El sistema de Biofeedback, utiliza una conexión cibernética para testar y equilibrar automáticamente durante la operación del sistema. Es decir, el mismo aparato se calibra automáticamente de forma constante. El sistema hace correcciones eléctricas a velocidades de menos de una centésima de segundo.
El SCIO es una herramienta de trabajo. Para optimizar los resultados se necesita que el profesional tenga conocimientos médicos y terapéuticos, aparte de conocimientos de Física e informática.
Este aparato ha sido diseñado para su utilización como un dispositivo de Biofeedback. Es decir, la medición de una respuesta fisiológica y la retro alimentación de ésta al organismo. El sistema cataloga y tabula el complejo potencial de las reacciones electro-fisiológicas de la persona.

La exactitud médica del dispositivo es limitada (85% fiabilidad) y como tal, los resultados no pueden ser tratados como un elemento de diagnóstico completo.
El profesional deberá interpretar estos datos correctamente y corroborar los resultados con otras pruebas médicas diagnósticas.
Este dispositivo es seguro, y no supone ningún riesgo para el paciente.
3.2. Sistema trivectorial de medición
El sistema trivector, incorporado dentro del SCIO, evalúa, por medio de una interface el voltaje, amperaje, resistencia y frecuencias medias, las señales emitidas por el cuerpo, en el rango de frecuencias del sistema de medida utilizado. Con estos datos se calculan parámetros eléctricos clásicos como la inductancia, capacitancia, conductividad y frecuencia de resonancia del sistema reactivo del cuerpo durante un intervalo de tiempo. Es decir, a partir de dichos resultados se pretende modelar y cuantificar el nivel de conexión cuerpo- mente.
Adaptando el trabajo de Becker31, Priori32, Beardall y otros, el Prof. Nelson ha desarrollado un sistema informatizado capaz de:
Desarrollar el campo asociado a la corriente continua portadora en una diminuta señal multifrecuencial, que contribuya a regenerar células del cuerpo humano.
Convertir, mediante el uso de técnicas como la diferenciación y rediferenciación, un conjunto masivo de señales, en señales multi-fractales.
Análisis no lineales, que desarrollan multi-señales para tratar los tejidos más complejos.
Datos almacenados:
El ‘SCIO’ contiene muestras de homeopáticos almacenados en la memoria. Las frecuencias propias de los mismos están también almacenadas en el programa. El modelo de energía trivector de cada una de las muestras, está calibrado de tal forma que el modelo de la persona sea variable y reactivo. De manera que podemos medir la reacción de un organismo a miles de elementos. Estos elementos están catalogados bajo los siguientes grupos:
Sarcodes: Tejido sano, usado para la reconstrucción y desintoxicación de tejidos.
Nosodes: Tejido enfermo o infeccioso, usado para la construcción inmunológica.
Alersodes: Para la desensibilización de alérgias.
Isodes: Toxinas no orgánicas como el DDT que en la forma diluida se usan para la desintoxicación.
Nutricionales: Aminoácidos, minerales, vitaminas, enzimas, etc.

Homeopáticos clásicos: Hierbas, hierbas chinas y demás remedios naturopáticos.
El ‘SCIO’ puede activar estos compuestos en el organismo. La base de este sistema de Biorresonancia, es su capacidad para evaluar los parámetros físicos de la persona y equilibrar las alteraciones que presente en su campo energético. Estos suplementos pueden ser añadidos a la terapia.
3.3. Principios científicos del sistema de Biofeedback-SCIO
Determinación de los parámetros eléctricos: El fundamento físico del sistema radica en las leyes de la electricidad y posterior manejo de las matemáticas aplicadas a los circuitos biológicos que son modelizados como sistemas eléctricos resonantes. Es decir, el fundamento teórico y base principal es el electromagnetismo aplicado a la caracterización física y posterior tratamiento de tejidos biológicos mediante fenómenos de resonancia tanto en la parte de detección como en los métodos de tratamiento.
Obviamente el ordenador recibe, almacena y maneja los datos, mientras que la caja del “interface” actúa como receptor-emisor que se encarga de detectar y/o emitir señales de diversas frecuencias generadas a base de circuitos oscilantes. O sea, en lo que se refiere a la fase de pre-diagnóstico se determinan los parámetros eléctricos de capacitancia, inductancia e impedancia de los tejidos a partir de los valores del voltaje, amperaje, resistencia, capacitancia e inductancia que son medidos y calculados a velocidades muy elevadas. A partir de dichos valores, se deducen las reacciones biológicas celulares, potenciales de membrana y otras señales emitidas por el ADN y ARN de las mitocondrias, mediante el trabajo de Nelson en el campo genético.
Análisis de Fourier: Una vez recogida la señal emitida por un tejido o durante un proceso metabólico, el sistema realiza el análisis de Fourier o estudio del espectro de frecuencias que caracterizan a las señales emitidas. A partir de tales frecuencias se busca la conexión emocional y los efectos biológicos de la misma. Por ejemplo, el llamado síndrome general de reacción de adaptación, se basa en la Teoría del Dr. Hans Selye 33que establece una correspondencia entre una serie de efectos de estimulantes hormonales y la reacción de nuestros organismos a los mismos en cada momento de nuestra vida.
En suma, las herramientas físicas mencionadas como es la caracterización eléctrica de los tejidos en un amplio rango de frecuencias, junto con el análisis de Fourier de las señales emitidas, parten de una visión unificada del ser humano plasmada en los modelos de correspondencia entre emociones y desequilibrios físicos. Dichas herramientas nos permiten describir al ser humano de una forma muy amplia (emocional, sensible, estados de
consciencia, etc), así como determinar la influencia de parámetros medioambientales y agentes contaminantes que puedan contribuir a su desequilibrio.
Algunas propiedades importantes de transformaciones de Fourier como son linealidad, simetría, teorema de convolución, etc, pueden ser consultados en textos de Cálculo de matemáticas avanzadas y son de uso habitual por parte de Físicos y algunos Ingenieros.
Otra explicación de las transformadas de Fourier: Dado que una onda estacionaria compleja puede descomponerse o expandirse como una suma de ondas sinusoidales simples, en determinados tipos de análisis puede resultar más interesante representar dichos armónicos en el dominio de la frecuencia que en el dominio del tiempo, o lo que es lo mismo, en su representación espectral. Aquí, cada línea es el espectro de cada uno de los componentes armónicos de onda compleja de referencia. Por consiguiente, el espectro de una onda compleja, estará compuesto de diversas líneas, cada una de las cuales representa una onda simple o componente armónico.
La expresión matemática que permite la conversión al dominio de la frecuencia de los valores de representación de la onda compleja en el dominio del tiempo, fue desarrollada por Fourier y se denomina transformada de Fourier:
La Transformada de Fourier proporciona el valor V(ω) de cada ordenada del espectro para cada frecuencia angular ω (ω =2πf) a lo largo del eje horizontal. De la misma manera, la expresión matemática de la antitransformación de Fourier permite llevar a cabo el proceso inverso. Dicha fórmula es conocida como la transformada inversa de Fourier.
Ejemplo de aplicación al caso del sonido: Audio analógico, audio digital: Las variaciones de presión generadas por las emisiones sonoras pueden ser procesadas y registradas en equipos y soportes de distinto tipo. Cuando las variaciones de energía mecánica o magnética son un reflejo fiel de las variaciones de presión sonora que fueron previamente traducidas a fluctuaciones de naturaleza eléctrica, nos encontramos ante un procesado analógico (similar) de la señal de audio. Sin embargo, si esas materializadas variaciones de corriente eléctrica, son transformadas mediante una codificación numérica binaria, nos encontraremos ante un procesado de tipo digital.
A primera vista, todo proceso de codificación digital implica una mínima degradación de la señal original. Si bien, es igualmente cierto que cualquier proceso de conversión digital convenientemente administrado (en sus fases de muestreo, retención, cuantificación, compresión/expansión, filtrado, modulación, etc.), no sufrirá en ningún caso los graves inconvenientes del efecto canal propios de la transferencia analógica (ruido, distorsiones lineales o no lineales, etc.). Por otra parte, todas las copias digitales de una señal de audio original (de primera o

enésima generación), serán siempre prácticamente idénticas en calidad a la original, circunstancia que nunca se produce en el supuesto analógico.
Además de las citadas, existen otras muchas ventajas del procesado de audio digital respecto del analógico: funcionalidad y agilidad de los procedimientos de trabajo, almacenamiento, conservación y transmisión de la señal, etc.
En el proceso arriba descrito, las fases más críticas se asocian a las tareas de conversión del campo analógico al digital y viceversa. En síntesis, un convertidor A/D transforma la señal de entrada analógica (tensión o corriente), en una frecuencia o serie de impulsos, cuyo tiempo se mide para proporcionar una salida digital representativa y proporcional; también puede efectuarse una comparación de la señal de entrada, con una referencia variable utilizando un convertidor interno D/A, para obtener una salida digital.
La conversión A/D se hace en varias etapas:
filtrado: limita la anchura de banda de la señal analógica.
muestreo: convierte una señal de tiempo continuo en una señal de tiempo discreto. discretizaciónn: convierte una señal de valor continuo en una señal de valor discreto. codificación: define el código de la señal digital, según la aplicación que se ejecuta.
Los convertidores D/A producen el efecto inverso al convertidor A/D. Estos circuitos, han de ser capaces, (a partir de la lectura del correspondiente código digital), de generar una tensión o corriente continua en el tiempo y en el valor lo más similar posible a la señal analógica originalmente introducida en la fase inicial del proceso.
Ejemplo de aplicación a los tejidos biológicos: La hipótesis con la que trabajamos es que las células vivientes hacen también análisis de Fourier, o sea, determinan el espectro de señales enviadas por cualquier estímulo. Esta sería una parte de la matriz biológica y una función del ADN, cuya expresión biológica podemos expresar en forma ondulatoria y analizada usando las transformadas de Fourier. Por tanto, el sistema neurológico y el sistema circulatorio y todos los tejidos del cuerpo realizarían el análisis de Fourier de forma automática.
El cuerpo puede percibir y responder a cualquier señal que desee. Así puede atender una señal visual o de sonido y bloquear otras. La formación reticular en este caso, tiene que hacer un análisis de Fourier complicado. Los procesos biológicos estudiados mediante las transformaciones Fourier, contienen implicaciones profundas para la biología, por ejemplo: la pupila enfoca la luz externa y auxilia al humano para dibujar una imagen en la mácula de la retina del ojo. El análisis del proceso por esta vía, permite su comprensión y extraer conclusiones del mismo.
Holografía: En Biología se considera que una sola célula contiene el código de todo el organismo. Por tanto se pueden manejar todos los datos recogidos para elaborar un campo holográfico de todo el organismo biológico.
La biología celular recurre a las transformaciones Fourier, para manejar la información que llega y descifrarla. Obviamente los organismos multicelulares, deben tener habilidades superiores para transformar la información que llega. Debemos comparar los modelos de desequilibrio versus los normales, para poder analizar los procesos biológicos celulares.
Por tanto:
- Las transformaciones de Fourier nos ayudan a fijar las curvas o formas de onda en las técnicas que permitirán entender los impulsos eléctricos extraídos del organismo.
- Se desarrolla un sistema capaz de aplicar los análisis matemáticos de Fourier para desarrollar las curvas que fijan y muestran la reactividad del cerebro a varias sustancias homeopáticas e ítems (Sus patrones trivectoriales contenidos en el software).
- Para el entendimiento de los análisis Fourier, el sistema grafica todas las variantes en actividad. Esto indica las fases y frecuencias en distorsión.
- Siguiendo las propiedades importantes de las transformaciones de Fourier tales como la linealidad, etc, se puede entender cómo un sistema utiliza estos análisis matemáticos Fourier para aislar las formas de onda y contextualizarlas dentro de un ámbito biológico.
- La biología debe utilizar las transformadas de Fourier, aplicarlas a varias interacciones de formas de onda, para traducirlas en otras señales mediante la célula. Es aquí donde es introducido el concepto de la holografía y cómo esta huella holográfica nos puede ayudar a entender los sistemas biológicos y ampliar nuestro entendimiento de las miles de funciones del ADN.
Resonancia armónica: En términos biológicos pueden detectarse muchas frecuencias de resonancia: virus, bacterias y hongos, como todos los seres vivos, tienen frecuencias resonantes. Por ejemplo, si un virus es excitado con energías cuya frecuencia está en resonancia con su propia frecuencia, podría afectar al organismo donde reside. En psicología un cierto manojo de neuronas podrían ser sensibles a una condición resonante si los ritmos presentasen la señal excitadora. Por ejemplo, las fobias pueden producir efectos resonantes dentro de los circuitos neurológicos, empujando al organismo a extremos y a menudo induciéndolo a un ataque de ansiedad o pánico. La obsesión, la desilusión, la preocupación, la tristeza y muchos otros problemas psicológicos, pueden ser estudiados como factores resonantes con los neurotransmisores del cerebro. En suma, todos nuestros tejidos poseen su propia frecuencia que se expresa en los estados de salud o de enfermedad.

Nos auxiliamos en el sonido y sus vibraciones, para reconocer las resonancias. Podemos encontrar modelos de interferencia de ciertas vibraciones que se utilizan para cancelar o compensar otros tipos de frecuencias aberrantes o distorsionadas y así eliminar microorganismos patógenos.
La manera en que las células de nuestro organismo pueden interactuar, es elevadísima así como su interactuación con el entorno (Potencial evocado). Todo ello constituye las técnicas de medicina vibratoria utilizada en el ‘SCIO’. Se forma similar a la naturaleza, una caída de agua suave, un viento agradable, el aire no tóxico, la expresión del amor con la palabra o el saludo, son algunos factores resonantes de la verdadera medicina bio-energética.
3.4. Especificaciones Técnicas
Evaluación energética del organismo: Decíamos que los parámetros electromagnéticos más sutiles son medidos por el ‘SCIO’. La medicina bioelectrónica tiene su base en los parámetros que el software llama medidas del voltaje, amperaje, y resistencia (Llamado ‘VARHOPE’ dentro del sistema). El sistema ‘SCIO’ utiliza múltiples canales (110), para medir variantes de estas señales electromagnéticas y el flujo en todo el cuerpo. El ordenador es el instrumento con el que captamos las frecuencias que nos envía la caja de biorresonancia SCIO, y dicha caja hace de amplificador para recibir y responder a la gama de potenciales electrofisiológicos y/o, emocionales o ambientales, sean estos físicos o químicos.
La evaluación de las funciones del cuerpo y afecciones, se evalúan energéticamente de acuerdo a diversas señales:
- Atenuación por reducción de la amplitud de onda, frecuencias altas y bajas.
- Medición del ángulo de fase para revisar variables independientes del organismo o fase de unión: inductiva y/o capacitiva.
- Potencial de corriente que maneja normalmente el cuerpo humano
a) Restauración en circuitos discriminantes.
b) Nivel de conductividad – bajo, medio y alto.
c) Voltaje – bajo, medio, alto y energía potencial normal.
d) Resistencia – baja, media, alta e impedancia normal.
e) Disipación de potencia constante en el test de la cifra del tiempo.
f) Transferencia dinámica capacitiva de la energía en el organismo.
g) Factor de amplificación, ganancia, estabilidad, grados de detección a varias frecuencias y amplitudes.
h) Balance eléctrico – lados derecho e izquierdo y cuadrantes.
i) Estabilización: frecuencia, voltaje, Ohms y temperatura.

3.5. El efecto “Xrroid”
El proceso ‘Xrroid’ es la capacidad de medir la reacción de un organismo a velocidades biológicas. Este proceso queda reflejado en el test efectuado a la Reactividad Electro Fisiológica (EPR, por sus siglas en inglés), de una persona a miles de substancias a velocidades biológicas. Las velocidades biológicas son definidas como, las que se acercan a la velocidad de intercambio iónico en la reacción eléctrica de una persona, a los estímulos de su ambiente inmediato.

Dicha velocidad tiene valores de aproximadamente 1/100 de segundo en una persona normal y mucho menores en un atleta de élite.
El ‘Xrroid’ fue creado por el Prof. W.C. Nelson34 y fue utilizado por primera vez en 1985 en el dispositivo ‘EPFX”, que fue el primer modelo de Biorresonancia con estas característica. Se registró en el ‘FDA’ de los Estados Unidos de América en 1989. El dispositivo se ha ido desarrollando tecnológicamente, hasta el modelo existente en la actualidad que es el ‘SCIO’.
El hecho de testar a una persona a dichas velocidades, produce un cambio en el campo de la Reactividad Electro Fisiológica (EPR) del paciente, quien podrá experimentar estados de hiperreactividad después de las pruebas. Algunas personas relatan el sentido aumentado de gusto, olor, coordinación, flexibilidad y hasta hipersensibilidad. El tiempo de recuperación parece variar según la condición de la persona, pudiendo ser mínimo de veinticuatro horas a un máximo de cien horas.
Nuestras pruebas han demostrado que el ‘Xrroid’ por sí mismo tiene propiedades terapéuticas, ya que la persona experimenta una mejora de los componentes del trivector (resistencia, capacitancia e inductancia). Los atletas nos hablan del aumento de sus reflejos, mejoría de coordinación y habilidades motoras más rápidas. Después de una prueba de ‘Xrroid’ se presentan varias mejoras en la claridad del pensamiento, coordinación de ojos y manos, etc.
la persona no hable ni se mueva. El tiempo de testado variará de persona a persona y se sitúa entre 3 y 3 minutos 30 segundos. Si bien es cierto que es la caja de Biorresonancia SCIO la que se encarga de captar las frecuencias, y de enviar y recibir la información durante el test, recomendamos que no se haga nada más con el ordenador.
Durante el testado un panel nos dará información sobre los valores de voltaje, amperaje, resistencia, hidratación, oxidación y otros que el aparato denomina como presión protónica y presión electrónica de la persona. Estos cálculos reflejan los resultados durante la operación de calibración y los datos demográficos. Ahora se puede iniciar un análisis más concienzudo sobre el estado de la persona.
Los valores o reacciones más bajas aparecen en la parte superior de la matriz, las reacciones más altas en la parte inferior. Los valores más significativos son los altos que se verán resaltados en rojo. Cuanto más elevado es el número, más fuerte es la reacción, valores por encima de 95 son significativos. Estos valores no son un absoluto sino la mejor estimación matemática posible. Los valores en rojo son el equivalente a tres ‘desviaciones estándar’ del valor medio, en púrpura a dos ‘desviaciones estándar’ del valor medio, del valor amarillo y los valores en azul (poca o ninguna reactividad), se listan por orden de reactividad.
3.6. Componentes del sistema de Biorresonancia-SCIO
Las partes que conforman el ‘Xrroid’ son:
Resonancia: Si la persona presenta una reacción inicial y necesita el estímulo.
Coherencia: Indica una atracción armónica hacia el estímulo en concreto.
Reactancia: Reacción inmediata de la persona.
Rectificado: Indica que una perturbación energética ha sido reparada.
Alérgico : Indica una reacción alérgica a un ítem.
EL PROCESO ‘Xrroid’: En la pantalla de testaje a la que se accede al pulsar el botón ‘Test’ desde la pantalla del menú principal, se pulsará el botón ‘Preparar Test’ y el sistema se preparará para iniciar el testaje de la reactividad electrofisiológica de la persona a los más de 11.000 datos contenidos en el software. Un total de 110 medidas de variables y reactancia son realizadas sobre cada sustancia. Ya que la reacción es reactivo-iónica, la reacción de prueba ocurre en pequeños intervalos de tiempo.
Windows no funciona en tiempo real. Así que para medir la reactividad de la persona se han de interrumpir las funciones de ‘Windows’ de esa pantalla. La instrucción adecuada es enviada a la caja SCIO (caja de Biorresonancia), que iluminará sus luces rojas. Cuando se completa el test la pantalla vuelve a ‘Windows’, y
Figura. 13. Caja de Biofeedback y Biorresonancia SCIO con sus respectivos electrodos y un ordenador con el software instalado.
La persona que ha de ser testada, escaneada y/o tratada, es conectada a la caja SCIO que es el interface del sistema, mediante cinco electrodos principales: uno en cada extremidad y una banda circular en la cabeza. La caja de interface se conecta al puerto USB de un ordenador previamente cargado con el programa “Clasp 32”, que es el software utilizado por el sistema con un tamaño de 10 Gigabytes. Este software dispone de 500 pantallas y 72 terapias diferentes. Los electrodos son de policarbonato de gran conductibilidad y sensibilidad que se sitúan en ambas muñecas y tobillos. Así mismo el frontal, también de policarbonato tiene ocho bandas que le permiten hacer una lectura por 110 canales de información.

Estos electrodos van conectados mediante puertos serie, a la caja de Biorresonancia-Biofeedback /SCIO (interface), y ésta, mediante una conexión USB-USB, está conectada a un ordenador.
Características del ordenador:
o Intel Core Duo procesador.
o 1 Giga de memoria RAM para XP y de 3 Giga para Windows Vista. o Pantalla resolución 1280 x 800 para 15´4’’, ó 1440 x 900 para 17’’. o Tarjeta de Sonido y de Video ATI o NVIDEA de última generación
o Aconsejable: disco duro con partición de 160 Gigas con programa de poder salvar imágenes
o Máximo hardware y software instalado.
Posibilidades de conectar otros electrodos:
En la parte trasera de la caja de Biorresonancia-Biofeedback / SCIO, existe una conexión de salida para poder incorporar otros electrodos a la terapia. Los expondremos de izquierda a derecha:
- Tenemos el rodillo grande: Está preparado para focalizar la terapia en zonas amplias. Se puede dejar fija en un punto (por ejemplo en un punto gatillo, en un disco protusionado, en un hígado inflamado…), o se puede ir deslizando por una zona amplia que haya que tratar.
- El rodillo pequeño: aunque tiene las mismas aplicaciones que el grande, se utiliza principalmente para pequeñas articulaciones y para estética facial.
- El electrodo de punto tiene una gran utilidad en puntos de acupuntura, terapias dentales, de piel como
verrugas, manchas… - El electrodo ocular canaliza las terapias oculares de una manera concreta, eficaz y anatómica, pudiendo también aplicarse, por su forma anatómica, indirectamente, a la sinusitis, rinitis, bolsas de ojos y líneas de expresión oculares.
Figura 14. Electrodos rígidos para reforzar la terapia. Son de plata para máxima conductividad y Portamango y cable de conexión
Figura 15. Electrodos flexibles para reforzar la terapia de diversas formas para adaptarse a la zona a tratar, con conexión directa a la caja SCIO
- El portaelectrodo tiene un carácter universal para todos los electrodos, menos para los podales. Gracias a su conexión mango-electrodo por el sistema de rosca, obtenemos una perfecta canalización del flujo de frecuencias.
- El cable va unido por un extremo al Portaelectrodo y por el otro a la caja Biorresonancia / SCIO mediante una conexión directa.
Figura.16. Plantillas pódales conectadas a la parte posterior de la caja
- Los electrodos podales permiten una potenciación de la terapia, al testar y activar las 72.000 terminaciones nerviosas situadas en cada planta del pie.
En la imagen inferior podemos observar a una persona conectada. La misma, puede estar sentada en una silla con brazos cómoda (situación que prefieren los pacientes con problemas lumbares y con procesos ansioso-depresivos por la posición de “alerta”), un sillón con o sin reposapiés o bien en camilla en cualquiera de sus muchas posiciones. Lo más importante es que el paciente se sienta cómodo y esté relajado durante la sesión para entrar de una manera más fácil en resonancia con su información frecuencial. Los pacientes con problemas psico-emocionales, prefieren el sillón a la camilla. La posición de “estirado” les resulta angustiante, en silla están en posición de alerta, en cambio en sillón consiguen estar relajados y más tarde o más temprano, abren su interior, lo que en el caso de pacientes con dolor crónico y sobre todo en Fibromialgias es esencial ya que, como hemos dicho en la introducción, tienen una sensación continua de no ser entendidos en su dolencia y cansancio. Dicha sensación en algunos casos es verdad y entonces el sufrimiento es más importante. En otras ocasiones tienen el sentimiento que su médico tampoco les cree y entonces se sienten impotentes. Durante la terapia, intentamos que él o la paciente estén relajados pero sabiendo que les comprendemos y que “firmamos” un pacto el primer día de visita en el cual formamos una complicidad con el paciente. El ir relajado a dormir siempre a la misma hora, cumplir con un horario de comidas, una dieta apropiada a su sistema digestivo (intestino irritable o bloqueo intestinal), cuándo comer y cómo, cuándo hacer ejercicio, cómo y cuánto, concienciarse de la afección que sufren y conocerla, para de esta manera aceptarla y comprender algunos de sus síntomas. Todo esto son herramientas que se les facilita para que las aporten a su vida cotidiana.
Es preferible que la estancia esté con una temperatura agradable así como la luz que no sea excesivamente potente, para que de esta manera incite a la relajación. Cuando la persona está relajada, baja

dos o tres grados su temperatura corporal, gracias a la relajación que siente. Si es necesario, taparla con una mantita que le resulte agradable.
Figura 17. Paciente conectado y el sistema trabajando un tratamiento espinal
La audición del paciente de una música subliminal de relajación acompañada o no de audiovisuales, puede ser otra manera de conseguir un agradable bienestar en nuestro paciente.
Por norma general, en un 80% aproximadamente de los casos, el paciente se queda dormido. En estos casos la sesión es más rápida por la disminución de resistencia consciente. Si el paciente está pensando en cosas que le preocupan, está creando inconscientemente una resistencia a la estabilización de las frecuencias, por lo que se tardará más en conseguir nuestro objetivo.
III. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS
- Aparatología
Se ha utilizado un hardware de Biofeedback modelo “SCIO” y un software especifico instalado en un ordenador (siempre el mismo)35
- Testado de Pacientes
Se han realizado dos estudios. Los llamaremos A y B. Dichos estudios han sido realizados desde principios de mayo a diciembre de 2008.
El paciente para ser testado ha tenido que estar sin aparatos de radio-frecuencia durante la sesión. Aparte de esto, también tenia de estar relajado y tranquilo para no bloquear ni que saliera un testado erróneo bien sea por un falso positivo como por un falso negativo. La actitud de los pacientes ha sido relajada y positiva.
El paciente tenia que tener en la sala de terapia, la temperatura ambiente agradable ya que durante la terapia acostumbra haber un descenso de la temperatura corporal. La luminosidad de la sala la adecuaremos hasta conseguir un ambiente relajante. El paciente ha de estar en una posición cómoda y relajada durante el proceso de la terapia.
- Estudio A
3.1. Diseño del estudio
Hemos seleccionado un grupo de siete personas afectadas y diagnosticadas de Fibromialgia por médicos del Instituto Universitario de Reumatología de Barcelona del Dr. Martínez-Pintor.
Las personas se presentaron para el estudio con curiosidad por algo nuevo y con mucho interés por saber los resultados finales. La colaboración fue buena y mostraron interés durante la evolución de la terapia.
3.2. Selección y tamaño de la muestra estudio
Las personas seleccionadas han de tener los siguientes criterios de inclusión:
- La misma asistencia sanitaria (del Instituto Universitario de Reumatología de Barcelona, el cual se rige en los parámetros, criterios y diagnóstico del ACR y llevarán al menos tres meses sin modificar los tratamientos.
- Edad entre 30 y 60 años
Para prevenir bajas durante el estudio, seleccionaremos cinco personas más en cada uno de los grupos 1 y 2 como reserva.
Primeramente se les explica la naturaleza del estudio y que no hay ningún efecto secundario a la realización de estos tratamientos. Se les facilita un pequeño impreso donde se expone lo que es la Biorresonancia-SCIO, los parámetros que se van a medir.

Pacientes diagnosticados de Fibromialgia con control médico en los últimos tres meses y tratamiento con Biorresonancia-SCIO.
Se les practicaron 5 sesiones con el sistema de biofeedbck con el sistema SCIO con una periodicidad semanal y una duración de una hora y media la primera sesión y una hora las siguientes.
Primeramente se les informó de forma verbal y mediante explicación escrita, en qué consistía el estudio.2
Antes de hacerles tratamiento, utilizaremos como unidad de medida el cuestionario validado de la escala de Alexitimia de Toronto, el de Beck, el HAQ, el STAI y el test de valoración EVA. Al terminar el estudio se les volverá a pasar los cuestionarios para su valoración.
Para la valoración del estudio hemos seleccionado cinco tests:
a. Alexitimia: La Alexitimia es la ausencia de palabras para expresar las emociones. Dicha denominación fue referenciada por Sifneos en 1970. El paciente tiene una incapacidad manifiesta de controlar su vida afectiva. Utilizaremos la Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (TAS) (anexo 1) de Taylor y cols., de 198536, versión española37. Se consideran valores normales por debajo de 61.
b. Beck: Beck Depression Inventory (DBI)38, utilizada para medir los niveles de depresión. Se consideran estados depresivos aquellas puntuaciones superiores a 9
c. STAI: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory39, utilizado para medir los estados de ansiedad considerando patológico cuando supera los 12-15 puntos
d. HAQ: Health Assessment Questionary40 41: cuestionario para valora la capacidad funcional. En su corrección se consideran valores normales aquellos inferiores a 1.
e. EVA: La Escala Visual Analógica es un instrumento validado para la expresión del dolor por parte del paciente. Fue diseñada por Scout Huskinson42 en 1976. Consiste en una línea continua. El extremo de la izquierda está marcado con un 0 (o ausencia de dolor) y el extremo de la derecha con un 10 (máximo de dolor). En dicha línea el paciente refleja su dolor. En 1978, Downie43 la expresó en número del 0 al 10, siendo 0 la ausencia de dolor y 10 el máximo dolor. Sólo se considera que el paciente mejora cuando disminuye su dolor en dos dígitos después de un tratamiento. Se considera dolor severo a partir de 7.

Hemos seleccionado dos grupos integrados por cinco personas cada uno, y todas afectadas y diagnosticadas de Fibromialgia por médicos del Instituto Universitario de Reumatología de Barcelona del Dr. Martínez-Pintor.
Las diez personas han sido conectadas con electrodos al sistema SCIO.
Los pacientes se presentaron al estudio con curiosidad y recelo por algo nuevo y con mucho interés por saber los resultados finales. La colaboración fue correcta y mostraron interés durante la evolución de la terapia.
Cuando recibíamos al paciente durante la primera sesión y antes de practicarle los tests, le explicábamos que el estudio consistía en seleccionar dos grupos, de los cuales uno recibiría tratamiento real y al otro no, aunque estuvieran, en ambos casos, conectados a los electrodos. También se les explicó que, en caso de pertenecer al grupo de los no tratados, posterior al estudio se le realizarían cinco sesiones con conexión, para compensar y agradecer su voluntariedad de formar parte de dicho estudio. Ésta determinación fue debida a la consideración de que no consideramos ético que las personas que se han ofrecido voluntariamente a la participación en este estudio, no reciban dicho tratamiento a su patología; por tanto, se les practicaron cinco sesiones extras, todas ellas independientes al estudio.
A diferencia del estudio A, en el que durante la sesión se iba hablando con el paciente de temas de interés general y ajenos a su patología con la finalidad de distraerle de su problema (puesto que la preocupación que éste conlleva produce resistencia al buen resultado de la terapia, durante el tratamiento), en este segundo estudio, omitimos cualquier tipo de conversación entre el paciente y el profesional.
4.1.1. Primer grupo
Los pacientes seleccionados fueron conectados y tratados. A este grupo lo llamaremos grupo “C”, por
haber sido tratados.
4.1.2. Segundo grupo
Los pacientes seleccionados fueron conectados pero no tratados. A este grupo le llamaremos “N” por haber sido sometidos a un tratamiento placebo, y no haber sido tratados.
4.2. Selección y tamaño de la muestra
La selección de los pacientes se realizó por riguroso orden de aparición (estudio simple ciego), sumando a esto el desconocimiento del profesional a dicha orden de aparición.
El primer paciente fue seleccionado dentro del primer grupo, el siguiente en el segundo, y así sucesivamente.

El extremo de la izquierda está marcado con un 0 (o ausencia de dolor) y el extremo de la derecha con un 10 (máximo de dolor). En dicha línea el paciente refleja su dolor. En 1978, Downie51 la expresó en número del 0 al 10, siendo 0 la ausencia de dolor y 10 el máximo dolor. Sólo se considera que el paciente mejora cuando disminuye su dolor en dos dígitos después de un tratamiento. Se considera dolor severo a partir de 7.

IV. RESULTADOS
- Estudio A
1.1 Tablas y gráficos:
1.1.1 Alexitimia
A continuación exponemos los resultados obtenidos a la realización del test de Alexitimia, el cual fue contestado por cada paciente antes de iniciar la primera tanda de 5 sesiones y al finalizar la última sesión (ver tabla 1, grafico 1, tabla 2). La prueba estadística utilizada es una homogeneidad de medias de datos independientes no-paramétricos, utilizando el test estadístico de Wilconxon. La prueba de Alexitimia se valora dentro de un rango comprendido entre 20 y 100, entendemos que una puntuación a partir de 61 entraríamos a hablar en parámetros de distorsión, es decir persona que tienen problemas a la hora de expresar sus sentimientos; de esta manera observamos que, la mayoría de los pacientes presentaron una notable mejoría, después de haber sido sometidos a las 5 sesiones de Biorresonancia- SCIO.

Se ha realizado una homogeneidad de medias de datos independientes y hemos usado la prueba no-paramétrica de rangos de Wilcoxon debido, a que la diferencia de las medidas no sigue una distribución normal y el tamaño de la muestra es muy reducido.
Los resultados nos permiten rechazar la hipótesis nula de las pruebas aceptando la hipótesis alternativa unilateral con un P-valor inferior a 0,05. La hipótesis alternativa consiste en que el tratamiento de Biorresonancia da un valor central suficientemente alejado de la media, para considerar una clara mejoría.
- Estudio B
2.1 Tablas y gráficos
2.1.1 Alexitimia
En este segundo estudio, se hicieron dos grupos de cinco pacientes cada uno. Los dos grupos fueron conectados con electrodos. Un grupo fue tratado y el otro grupo fue placebo. Ningún paciente de este estudio sabía si estaba siendo tratado o no.
A continuación exponemos los resultados obtenidos a la realización del test de Alexitimia, el cual fue contestado por cada paciente antes de iniciar la primera tanda de 5 sesiones y al finalizar la última sesión (ver tabla 11, grafico 6, tabla 12). La prueba estadística utilizada es el test estadístico de Wilconxon, debido que la prueba de datos dependientes de Mann-Whitney, no se puede realizar debido al reducido tamaño de la muestra.

2.1.3 HAQ
Al igual que en los apartados anteriores, en este segundo estudio, se hicieron dos grupos de cinco pacientes cada uno. Los dos grupos fueron conectados con electrodos. Un grupo fue tratado y el otro grupo fue placebo. Ningún paciente de este estudio sabía si estaba siendo tratado o no.
A continuación exponemos los resultados obtenidos a la realización del test de HAQ, el cual fue contestado por cada paciente antes de iniciar la primera tanda de 5 sesiones y al finalizar la última sesión (ver tabla 15, grafico 8, tabla 16). La prueba estadística utilizada es una homogeneidad de medias de datos independientes no-paramétricos, utilizando el test estadístico de Wilconxon, debido a que la prueba de homogeneidad de medias, de datos dependientes (Mann-Whitney), no se puede realizar debido al reducido tamaño de la muestra. De esta manera observamos que, la mayoría de los pacientes conectados, a diferencia de los no conectados; presentaron una notable mejora, después de haber sido sometidos a las 5 sesiones de Biorresonancia-SCIO.

En este estudio se ha intentado hacer una homogeneidad de medias de datos dependientes no-paramétricos, debido a que no cumplen los datos los criterios de normalidad y la muestra es muy pequeña. Debido a la limitada muestra el programa SPSS, advierte que no hay casos válidos suficientes para realizar la prueba de Mann-Whitney, por lo que hemos realizado una homogeneidad de medias de datos independientes no-paramétricos de Wilcoxon comparando los sujetos tratados antes y después contra los sujetos no tratados antes y después.
Podemos exponer a la vista de los resultados que podemos rechazar la hipótesis nula, es decir, que el paciente no ha notado mejoría, con un riesgo alfa de 0.05 unilateral en todas las pruebas realizadas a individuos tratados con Biorresonancia. Del grupo placebo que no ha recibido tratamiento con Biorresonancia solo podríamos rechazar la nula y aceptar la alternativa en una prueba (STAI) y en las otras no podríamos rechazarlo.
Debido a lo anteriormente mencionado podemos observar que en todas las pruebas de los pacientes que han sido tratados hemos tenido evidencia estadística suficiente para rechazar la hipótesis nula y afirmar que el paciente muestra mejoría en las pruebas. Por el contrario, en los pacientes control no tratados en todos menos uno no podemos rechazar la hipótesis nula por la cual, evidentemente, no muestra mejoría en las pruebas realizadas.
Estos resultados lejos de ser definitivos, requieren una ampliación del estudio con una mayor muestra, para poder aplicar las pruebas estadísticas correspondientes y tener una potencia estadística adecuada.
V. DISCUSIÓN DEL ESTUDIO
El síndrome de la Fibromialgia es un conjunto de síntomas de los cuales todavía no disponemos con certeza cual es la causa que los produce. Por ello desde varias décadas se están haciendo diversos estudios de investigación en diversas especialidades dentro del campo de la sanidad, para poder paliar los síntomas y mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes que padecen este Síndrome.
La Fibromialgia, hay que tratarla desde un punto de vista pluridimensional, es decir, desde un punto de vista global. Por ello somos muchos y de muchas especialidades los profesionales que nos preocupa este síndrome. Especialidades como: fisioterapeutas, reumatólogos, psicólogos, terapeutas ocupacionales, asistentes sociales…, trabajamos día a día para controlar la Fibromialgia.
Por este motivo, hemos pensado que el sistema de Biorresonancia-SCIO, puede sernos muy útil para tratar dicha patología, ya que trabaja todas las áreas afectas por éste Síndrome.
Como ya hemos dicho anteriormente, estos pacientes son extremadamente sensibles; tienen los niveles de dolor y de susceptibilidad muy bajos. Esto provoca un aumento de la sintomatología cuando algún familiar, amigo o profesional pone en duda sus dolencias.
Por ello, a este tipo de pacientes hay que tratarlo de una manera diferente, ya que cada vez que se enfrentan a una situación conflictiva la sintomatología aumenta, y por lo tanto, el dolor, la ansiedad y la depresión.
Es muy importante que el paciente se sienta respaldado y comprendido por su familia, sobre todo marido o esposa e hijos; del mismo modo también es muy importante que sienta que su terapeuta le comprenda y tenga confianza en él, es decir, que el terapeuta le transmita al paciente que va hacer todo lo que sabe para ayudarle y que entiende su sufrimiento. Esto nos llevará a una mejor eficacia y rapidez de la terapia, consiguiendo por ello una mejoría de su sintomatología.
Se puede decir que los pacientes de Fibromialgia responden muy favorablemente a la terapia de Biorresonancia-SCIO, ya que a ellos no les provoca ningún tipo de dolor ni de molestias, solo tienen que estar cómodos, relajarse y no pensar en nada que les ocasione negatividad, ya que el sentimiento de la misma crearía una Resistencia en el flujo de las ondas frecuenciales durante el tratamiento, y dificultaría la rectificación de las mismas.

Cuando se empezó a diseñar el estudio para esta tesina se pensó en seleccionar un grupo de 10 pacientes, hacerles terapia y observar los resultados. A cada paciente se le haría cinco sesiones, la primera de hora y media y las demás de una hora. Haciendo de esta manera un estudio de homogeneidad de media de datos independientes.
Para valorar dichos resultados se utilizarían los tests de Alexitimia, BECK, HAQ, STAI y EVA. Estos tests se realizaban antes de la primera sesión y al finalizar la última. Cuando llevábamos 7 pacientes de los 10 que marcaba el estudio, observamos que la mejoría que sentían los pacientes pudiera estar ligada a un factor psicosomático como podría ser la novedad de la prueba o bien la presencia optimista del terapeuta. Para descartar dichas dudas se diseñó un segundo estudio. Haciendo una prueba de homogeneidad de medias de datos dependientes para comparar las dos poblaciones.
Este segundo estudio consistía en un simple ciego. Se seleccionaron 10 pacientes y decidimos que todos serían conectados al sistema de Biorresonancia-SCIO, pero sólo a 5 se le haría la terapia. Evidentemente a los otros 5 se simularía que se les estaba haciendo terapia.
El primer estudio que llamaremos “A”, se desarrolló desde mayo a julio, esto quiere decir, que climatológicamente hablando estamos viviendo una evolución de primavera a verano. Durante este periodo el paciente “tipo” de Fibromialgia siente remisión de los síntomas sobre todo referente a los entumecimientos y los dolores. A demás estas estaciones en las cuales predomina el sol, favorecen el estado anímico de todas las personas, máxime en los pacientes afectos de dicho Síndrome.
Al contrario, en el segundo estudio al cual llamaremos “B”, el proceso sucedió a la inversa, es decir, empezó en octubre y finalizó en diciembre. Esta época del año evoluciona con fríos, humedades y lluvia, y además, disminución de las horas solares. Además este otoño-invierno coincidió con unos cambios climáticos extremos, habiendo oscilado la temperatura 10ºC en un mismo día. Esto no ayuda a los pacientes pues provoca un aumento de la sintomatología músculo-esquelética, alteración del sueño y aumento en sus síntomas ansioso- depresivos principalmente.
Durante el segundo estudio observamos un cambio de actitud de los pacientes con respecto al primer estudio. La duda que en los pacientes del segundo estudio existía de si iban a ser o no ellos los seleccionados para la terapia, creó cierta incertidumbre e inseguridad respecto al carácter aleatorio del estudio. El paciente estaba más preocupado de si estaban siendo tratados o no, que de relajarse y observar sus síntomas. Esto en un paciente con otra patología quizá no sería tan significativo, pero en el caso del Síndrome de Fibromialgia se agudiza más dada su susceptibilidad tan acusada.
A todos los pacientes se les informó que si ellos pertenecían al grupo de pacientes que aleatoriamente no se les hacia terapia, una vez finalizado el estudio, se les efectuarían 5 sesiones de terapia no valorables para el estudio de investigación.
Estas sesiones extras fuera del estudio se propusieron debido a que éticamente no nos parecía correcto dejar a 5 personas de dentro del estudio sin terapia ya que debían tener una compensación por su voluntariedad, y evitar posibles niveles de frustración que pudieran alterar el resultado del estudio.
Con respecto a los resultados en el estudio “A” observamos:
- Aunque existen diferencias según diversos autores en determinar a partir de qué valor en el test de Alexitimia se considera patológico/distorsionante o no, nos adheriremos al criterio del estudio “Validez Psicométrica de la Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (TAS-20): un estudio Transcultural”52 en el que llegaron al acuerdo de que a partir de 61 se consideraba que la persona testada sufría problemas a la hora de expresar sus sentimientos.
A pesar de todo, si observamos la Tabla 1, veremos que antes de hacer la terapia, los pacientes no tenían un grado de Alexitimia preocupante. Tan sólo uno de ellos. No obstante todos los valores bajaron ostensiblemente después de las cinco sesiones. Los pacientes estaban más predispuestos a la expresión emocional.
El hecho que los pacientes en el primer testaje de Alexitimia no tuvieran unos parámetros alterados, posiblemente nos puede hacer pensar que no tienen problemas a la hora de expresar sus sentimientos. Y sí es posible que el problema lo tengan con el receptor de la información sea éste profesional o familiar. Da la impresión que si no se expresan más es porque se protegen contra comentarios que saben les pueden hacer sufrir.
- Con respecto al Test de Beck, teniendo en cuenta que consideramos síntomas distorsionantes depresivos a todos aquellos pacientes que superen el 9 como resultado de la corrección de dicho Test, nos encontramos con que todos los pacientes empiezan por valores superiores a 9 y que después de las sesiones 2 de ellos están por debajo de 9 y el resto han bajado sus valores de 5 a 23 puntos, observándose un cambio en su actitud hacia el futuro y el presente.
- En cuanto al Test de HAQ el cual valora la capacidad funcional, consideramos los valores normales los que están por debajo de 1. Después de las sesiones, 3 de los 7 pacientes están por debajo de 1 y los demás han mejorado ostensiblemente, obteniendo de esta manera un aumento de su capacidad funcional y por lo tanto de su calidad de vida.

- El Test de STAI el cual mide los estados de angustia y ansiedad, en los casos de Fibromialgia bastante frecuente y prácticamente siempre reconocida por el paciente y que no sabe justificar, no sabe porqué; los valores hasta donde podemos hablar de normalidad oscilan entre 12 a 15. En este estudio los descensos hacia la normalidad, menos en un caso donde el paciente tenía problemas familiares que le impidieron hacer un curso normal, han sido muy grandes, pudiendo encontrarnos descensos desde 12 a 33 puntos. Si tenemos en cuenta que la ansiedad produce dolor psíquico y éste, sufrimiento, podríamos decir que ha habido un claro descenso en los niveles de sufrimiento.
- Con respecto a la Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) sabemos que para que haya un cambio reconocido tiene que haber un descenso de 2 puntos con respecto a la primera medición. De los 7 pacientes, 5 de ellos bajaron de 2 a 4 puntos y en otros 2 no. De hecho uno de los 2 que no bajó era porque sus percepciones de dolor eran ya bajas, y la otra persona que sólo bajó 0.5 puntos, tenía como artrosis a parte de su Fibromialgia, la cual habría que haberla tratado con otro protocolo de terapia para bajar sus niveles de dolor. Lo curioso, es que todos los pacientes al finalizar la terapia comentaban que habían tenido un descenso considerable de dolor, incluso los 2 que no habían bajado.
Con respecto a los resultados del estudio “B”, recordemos que forma parte de un reducido número de muestra: 10 personas; de las cuales, aunque a todas les colocamos los electrodos, sólo a 5 se les hizo tratamiento y a las otras 5 no. Observamos que la reducida muestra del estudio no nos permite hacer una comparativa de los estadísticos dependientes, pero precisamente por eso, porque la muestra es pequeña podemos ver la relación del contraste a nivel gráficas de una manera clara.
No obstante, antes de observar las gráficas comparativas tenemos que tener en cuenta que este estudio se realizó de cara al invierno, de Octubre a Diciembre. Durante este tiempo es cuando la Fibromialgia tiende a hacer crisis en forma de brotes normalmente. Su “termorregulación” se altera con periodos de escalofríos internos intensos a la vez que sudoraciones, el sueño se vuelve alterado y con pesadillas, tienen entumecimientos lo cual empeora su capacidad funcional y aumentan los dolores, y todo ello, juntamente o como consecuencia decae en síntomas depresivos y/o ansiedad.
Pues bien, no obstante de este cuadro, los resultados fueron los siguientes:
- Con respecto a la Alexitimia, que como hemos dicho en el estudio anterior se considera dentro de la normalidad todos los resultados del Test inferiores a 61, observamos en la tabla 11 y el gráfico 6 unos resultados de contraste. Mientras los “no tratados” siguen igual e incluso empeoran, los “tratados” tienen una clara mejoría en todos los casos. No obstante al realizar la prueba de
homogeneidad de medias, de datos dependientes de Mann-Whitney no se pudieron hacer los cálculos por muestra insuficiente, por lo tanto utilizamos la prueba estadística de homogeneidad de medias de datos independientes no-paramétricas, utilizando el test estadístico de Wilconxon.
- En relación con el Test de Beck, recordemos que los límites de la normalidad están en el resultado de la prueba inferior a 9. Así podremos valorar que todos los pacientes excepto el “N3”, están muy por encima de dicho valor. Después de realizar el estudio, observamos una estabilización en los resultados de los “no conectados”, mientras en los “conectados” observamos una clara mejoría.
- Con respecto a la valoración de la capacidad funcional (HAQ), sabemos que la normalidad tiene que ser inferior a 1. Tal y como observamos en la tabla 15 y el gráfico 8, en los dos grupos queda reflejada una marcada discapacidad en la capacidad funcional antes de iniciar las sesiones. Al finalizar las mmismas, podemos observar como hay un empeoramiento importante en los “no conectados”, justificado por ese empeoramiento climático que antes mencionábamos, mientras que los del grupo de “conectados” tienen una franca mejoría, algunos de ellos con un descenso de su valor en 25 puntos.
- En la valoración de la ansiedad mediante el Test STAI, observamos un cierto estancamiento en los “no conectados” y una clara mejoría en todos los casos de los “conectados” menos en uno, el “C3”, que estaba sometida a una alteración provocada por una desavenencia con una hija. Con lo cual entraría a formar parte de una ansiedad provocada por un factor externo. Los demás tienen los valores previos entre 16 el más bajo y 37 el más alto. En esta época climática son muy importantes estos resultados ya que si los niveles de ansiedad son bajos, observamos que el resto de sintomatología estará más controlada y al revés.
- Como resultado del estudio de los pacientes valorados con el Test de EVA, con respecto al nivel de dolor que perciben, observamos que los valores de inicio son todos más altos que en el estudio “A”. Esto es debido al clima que además este año se ha presentado con fuertes variaciones en el termómetro, habiendo sufrido variaciones de incluso 10ºC en un mismo día. No obstante, si observamos la Tabla 19 y la Gráfica 10, vemos que mientras los “no conectados” se mantienen estables, los “conectados” mejoran incluso más significativamente en el campo del dolor que los del estudio “A”, excepto la persona de “C3” de la cual ya hemos expuesto su caso.

VI. CONCLUSIONES
VII. BLIOGRAFIA
1) GENERALES
Llegamos a la conclusión que el sistema de Biorresonancia-SCIO, puede ser un instrumento útil para la terapéutica de los pacientes afectos del Síndrome de Fibromialgia.
Dado que el Síndrome de la Fibromialgia repercute en varios niveles (nervioso, músculo-esquelético, digestivo, endocrino, etc.) en nuestro organismo y que el software incorporado EPFC/SCIO nos permite trabajar a nivel de varias frecuencias, y por lo tanto, a varios niveles, puede ser un buen tratamiento, como se ha desarrollado a lo largo de todo el trabajo, para este Síndrome.
Hemos podido comprobar, que para el paciente es satisfactorio notar como todos sus síntomas van disminuyendo, ya que la Fibromialgia no solo causa dolor físico sino también psíquico y alteraciones psicológicas; ganando al mismo tiempo una seguridad en sí mismos que antes no tenía.
2) GRUPO A
La conclusión de este estudio es que podemos afirmar que las pruebas del tratamiento con Biorresonancia mejora la sintomatología de los pacientes con un cierto riesgo alfa de 0,05 al rechazar la hipótesis nula. Pero creemos la muestra era demasiado pequeña (siete individuos), que es aconsejable realizar el estudio con una mayor muestra para poder utilizar pruebas estadísticas de mayor potencia, y así darle mayor validez.
3) GRUPO B
Debido a lo anteriormente mencionado podemos observar que en todas las pruebas de los pacientes que han sido tratados hemos tenido evidencia estadística suficiente para rechazar la hipótesis nula y afirmar que el paciente muestra mejoría en las pruebas. Por el contrario, en los pacientes control no tratados en todos menos uno no podemos rechazar la hipótesis nula por la cual, evidentemente, no muestra mejoría en las pruebas realizadas.
Estos resultados lejos de ser definitivos, requieren una ampliación del estudio con una mayor muestra, para poder aplicar las pruebas estadísticas correspondientes y tener una potencia estadística adecuada.

Supervizing researcher: Dr Istvan Bandics MD Licensed Hungarian Medical doctor. This study was done at the Hippocampus clinic in Budapest on 73 patients attending the clinic in 1994. Studies done with the supervision of a local ethics committee and all subjects gave informed consent to participate as part of their intake form.
Abstract
In this study we took 73 patient/subjects from the medical clinic and tested their global Voltage, Amperage, Resistance, Hydration and Oxidation body electrical parameters in per and post fashion. Each subject was treated with the EPFX device for one week after pre and before post testing. The patients had significant increases in their post electrical measures. These factors are called the VARHO.
Introduction
The body electric is well recognized aspect in medicine. The EPFX devices address many factors of the body electric. Muscles are magnetic in action. Nerve impulses trigger magnets in muscle tissue to pull over each other. The power is an index of voltage and amperage which when multiplied against each other gives the power coefficient called watts.
The EPFX device measures the body voltage, amperage, and skin resistance. Voltage and amperage are correlates of eeg emg and ecg amplitude and volume. Where skin resistance or impedance is directly measured as voltage loss thru skin tissue. The EPFX then can further calculate estimates of oxidation and hydration by time comparisons of changing capacitance and inductance variables.
Then the EPFX can input low current oscillations to harmonically tune to tissue electrical factors to help balance this Voltage, Amperage, Resistance, Hydration, Oxidation and ph. This is referred to as VARHOP repair and it is refurbished of the body electric factors. They also used the sport
419
oxygen formula. This results in increased performance.
In this test 73 Hungarian medical patients between the ages of 25 – 50 were given two or three sessions on the EPFX over a week to balance their body electric VARHO profile. The body electric patterns of the VARHO were measured pre and post. None of these patients had extreme disease. They were ambulatory patients who presented with normal moderate complaints. The control was the subject’s base line body electric measures. A pre test of measure showed that patients have little changes in normal conditions.
Data Results
Pre Measure Average Post Measure Average
Voltage .78 1.02
Amperage 275 microamps 325 microamps
Resistance 75kohms 65kohms
Hydration 1.5 2.75
Oxygenation .55 1.02
Electrical Reactivity 75 e.v. 110 e.v.
Summary
The body has an electro-potential across all of the cell membranes. When this is deadened the cell dies. There is a collective global electrical potential that is a reflection of the health of the body. In this study we show how the EPFX can increase the VARHO electrical factors in just a few treatments.
Here is an article from the FDA wanting you the therapists to do clinical research. If you have an idea of what your SCIO has done to help your patients here is your chance to prove it to the world. You can write up a case study on a patient and submit it to us for publication. You might get approved to present it at our world congress in Budapest. But if you want to do a proper study here is your chance.
The FDA is helping people to do Investigator Sponsored Trials, known as IST. The following article is from an FDA approved journal on compliance. We have the proper Institutional Review Board, we have a study protocol for you to work with or amend for your needs, and we have the medical supervision. We have all you need. You just need an idea, some patients, and the dedication to see it thru. If you can finish a full 20 patient dbl blind study you can get a refurbished SCIO from the sponsor Maitreya / SCIO USA. So think this is your chance to get your name on a study and show the world what you are doing. We can do it together.

Investigator-sponsored Trials
Thousands of clinical trials are conducted each year around the world. They are sponsored or funded by a variety of organizations such as medical institutions, foundations, voluntary groups and pharmaceutical companies, in addition to federal agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. In addition, some clinical trials, sponsored by individual physicians, are called investigator- sponsored trials (ISTs).
ISTs are like other clinical trials, except that they are mostly single-center studies with an individual physician acting as both the lead investigator and the sponsor. As a result, ISTs tend to be minimally funded. However, if the drug or medical device under investigation in the trial is already available commercially (perhaps for another indication or population), the investigator will often try to engage the manufacturer to obtain some form of funding (e.g.., donating the drug or medical device). Data generated through ISTs are often published and contribute significantly to academic research that in turn is referenced and utilized by other treating physicians and entities involved in the disease area or condition. Ownership of the products being investigated in the ISTs remains with the patent holder or manufacturer. Therefore, if the investigator is not the patent holder, he may neither submit the data from ISTs to a regulatory authority nor obtain approval to market the product. The investigator will need to work with the patent holder to obtain the rights to the product and it may be necessary to license the product to a manufacturer to secure the funding needed for the resources required for product approval. Data from ISTs are accepted by many regulatory authorities to support marketing applications or supplements as long as the trials were conducted in strict conformance Good
2
Clinical Practice guidelines and the regulatory authority has access to uninterpreted data from the trial.
ISTs are held to the same regulatory standards as all trials involving human subjects. Investigators who sponsor and/or participate in clinical trials have serious responsibilities because of the involvement of human subjects and their risks in participating. There are many regulations specifying the responsibilities of sponsors and investigators. Investigators who are both sponsors and investigators (investigator-sponsors) of clinical trials must shoulder both sets of responsibilities and become very familiar with all applicable laws and regulations surrounding the conduct of human studies to ensure compliance. In the US, the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR Part 312 Subpart D for drugs and biologics and Part 812 Subparts C and E for medical devices) describes these serious responsibilities for both the sponsor (21 CFR 312.50) and the investigator (21 CFR 312.60). Additional responsibilities and requirements are described throughout 21 CFR 312 and 812;
those specifically relating to informed consent and IRB approval are described in 21 CFR Parts 50 (Protection of Human Subjects) and 56 (IRBs), respectively. The specific responsibilities for sponsors and investigators in drug and biologic clinical trials are similar but not identical to those for sponsors and investigators in trials for medical devices.
Investigator-sponsors must determine whether an Investigational New Drug application (IND or Investigator IND) must be submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before beginning the trial. An IND is usually required if the study involves an unapproved product or an approved product for a new indication, or evaluation of an approved product in a new patient population. The IND must include all
the information specified in 21 CFR 312.23. To complete the IND, the investigator-sponsor usually seeks permission from the original product manufacturer to cross-reference the company’s IND or Investigational Device Exemption, or approved New Drug Application or Premarket Application to obtain the necessary information (e.g.., data from animal studies and previous human studies and manufacturing information). By submitting an IND, the investigator assumes responsibility for providing all necessary information (such as the study protocol, adverse event information, annual reports, etc..) to FDA to maintain compliance with regulations. It remains the investigator’s responsibility to determine whether the study is exempt from the requirement to submit an IND. FDA generally does not accept INDs it considers exempt (see 21 CFR 312.2(b)(1) for criteria that exempt studies from IND regulations).
Table 1 lists some common reasons why
investigators sponsor clinical trials in spite
3
of the tremendous regulatory burden such studies entail. A key challenge investigator- sponsors face is the large amount of time they must dedicate to the study and how that impacts caring for patients in their medical practices. The investigator-sponsor must supervise the trial, interact with the IRB, develop budgets, deal with audits and inspections and travel as needed. Well- qualified, experienced, trained and efficient personnel (in particular the study coordinator, but also including the sub-investigators, research nurses and laboratory personnel) become essential to the investigator in managing the trial workload.
Investigator-sponsors who take the time at the beginning of the trial to train any noncertified personnel in the International Conference On Harmonization (ICH) guideline, Good Clinical Practice E6(R1) will generally save lime on the back end and improve the quality of the study.
What’s in It for the Patient?
ISTs are a very good option for patients to obtain access to new and as yet unapproved research therapies. People often participate in ISTs because they have exhausted approved treatment options that either did not work for them or produced intolerable side effects. Carefully conducted ISTs are a relatively safe and quick way to get access to products that have the potential to treat the disease or condition or that have the potential to improve patient health or quality of life. Further, since investigators are often specialists in the disease area being studied, some patients participate to gain access to expert medical care for their condition, thereby playing a more active role in their own healthcare. Still others participate in ISTs for the purely altruistic reason of wanting to contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge.
Not all patients who apply to participate in an IST will be accepted. Each patient must meet predetermined eligibility criteria, such as age, sex, type and stage of disease, previous treatment history and other medical conditions. These criteria help to reduce the amount of variation and „noise” in the study, without threatening the scientific integrity of the trial, by removing medical variations that might complicate data analyses and the ability to draw relevant and sound conclusions. Patients may also be excluded because the researcher has already enrolled the required number of participants needed to test the hypothesis stated in the study protocol.
Once subjects are selected to participate in the 1ST, the law requires the investigator to obtain informed consent. The investigator must provide patients with complete and accurate information about what will happen during the trial and disclose all known or suspected risks. Participants must sign a written informed consent form, which indicates they understand the trial is a research study, have
4
been informed about the associated risks and are aware that their participation is voluntary and they can leave the clinical trial at any time. Additionally, the consent form should outline in detail the amount of time participants will have to devote to the trial and the types of activities; for example, they may need to visit the study site at specified intervals, be subjected to additional tests, get more treatments than are normally necessary, stay in the hospital and/or follow complex dosage requirements. Patients use the material in the informed consent document to decide whether or not to enter a clinical trial and to make an informed decision about the level of risk they are willing to accept before they enter the trial.
The investigator should clearly explain to participants (when applicable) that they may not receive the investigational drug and may instead receive a placebo. They should also be prepared mentally for partial or no effectiveness from the treatment. The investigators should encourage the participants to learn as much as possible about the clinical trial and the investigational treatment and to freely discuss their questions and concerns with members of the research team.
Registration of Clinical Trials
Investigators and sponsors usually register their trials with databases such as http:// clinicaltrials.gov/, an interactive online database managed by the National Library of Medicine. Clinicaltrials.gov facilitates the registration of trials in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) initiative requiring prior entry of clinical trials in a public registry as a condition for publication. Members of the public can find information about clinical trials by searching http://clinicaltrials.gov/ as it lists both federally and privately supported clinical
research. The site, which is updated regularly, offers information on the objectives of each trial, eligibility criteria, locations and contact details to obtain more information.
Summary
For patients, ISTs are a viable option for obtaining access to unapproved treatments. For physicians acting as investigator-sponsors, ISTs offer key benefits such as professional recognition and the opportunity to continue participating and collaborating in cutting- edge scientific investigations (see Table 1). However, ISTs present challenges to both investigators and patients. To be successful, investigators and investigator-sponsors gust be highly motivated leaders with the skills and drive to coordinate the activities of many people to ensure completion of all study activities. Success generally requires careful planning, evaluation and management of the multiple aspects of conducting a clinical trial in accordance with all applicable regulations and ensuring that the various pieces of the puzzle fall into place seamlessly.
While ISTs provide patients with accelerated access to new treatments, these treatments have not received thorough review by a regulatory agency such as FDA or the European Medicines Agency, and as such, risks and uncertainties are unavoidable. Volunteers need to ask relevant questions of the researchers, remain vigilant for changes in their health status (particularly adverse changes), report them immediately and, in general, be aware that they shoulder significant responsibility as participants in an IST.

PRACTITIONER TERMINOLOGY
The INDIGO/SCIO System utilizes five comfortable, conductive straps that envelop the wrists, ankles and forehead. Once the Calibration process is complete, a three- minute Electro Dermal Response stress reaction test is performed with results displayed on the INDIGO/SCIO computer software interface.
Through the use of the biofeedback training programs, Certified Biofeedback Technicians and Specialists can train their clients with stress reduction training programs for muscle re-education, relaxation training, pain management and brainwave training to improve the quality of their lives.
The programs are ‘relaxation trainings for trivector signatures’. Trivector signatures appearing on the program should not be discussed with clients.
PRACTITIONER TERMINOLOGY
Certified Biofeedback Technicians and Certified Biofeedback Specialists and Unlicensed Practitioners are trained to be professional providers, but are not qualified to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical or psychological condition, disease, or disorder. By law, it is illegal in the US, Canada and most other jurisdictions in the world for unlicensed practitioners to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical or psychological disease, disorder or condition. In these same jurisdictions, it is legal for qualified professionals to practice Biofeedback as long as they do not claim to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical or psychological disorder, disease, or condition. In addition, they may not use any terms that implies any of the aforementioned. The following are guidelines for practicing with safe terminology:
DO NOT Assess DO NOT Counsel DO NOT Cure DO NOT Detect
DO NOT Diagnose DO NOT Evaluate DO NOT Heal
DO NOT Identify
DO NOT Make Claims or Promises
DO NOT Prescribe DO NOT Recommend DO NOT Repair
DO NOT Scan DO NOT Test DO NOT Treat
DO NOT Use the word “Disease”
• The items mentioned above are not within the scope of biofeedback.
• We use biofeedback stress reduction training programs for muscle re-education, relaxation training, pain management and brainwave training.
• We explain that health is an individual matter with many approaches to healing and no guarantees.
• Biofeedback is a practice that enables an individual to learn how to change some physiological activities for the purpose of improving health.
• Biofeedback instrumentation uses mild electrical impulses that measure skin
temperature known as (EDR) Electro Dermal Response. Electro Dermal response has replaced the term (GSR) Galvanic Skin Response as the collective term.
Therefore, instead of saying to clients that we are running a “Test”, you can say that “I will now begin the biofeedback training program that will measure the Electro Dermal Response (to measure skin temperature).” The change in temperature is caused by the degree to which a person’s sweat glands are active. Stress tends to make the glands more active and this lowers the skin’s resistance. The more relaxed you are, the dryer your skin will be and the higher the skin’s electrical resistance. When you are under stress your hands sweat and therefore the resistance goes down.
EDUCATIONAL LANGUAGE
Example #1: A client reports: “I have a sore throat. What can I do for it?”
A diagnostic response would be: “Your sore throat is probably strep, because that is what has been going around.” The practitioner is diagnosing what is wrong, by telling the client why she has a sore throat.
A prescriptive response would be: “Take vitamin C three times a day for a week, and drink slippery elm tea to soothe your throat and you will feel better.”
An educational response would be: “When I feel like that, I take extra vitamin C, and drink tea made from slippery elm bark. If you look up and read material on these two substances you can learn about their relationship to building the immune system and how the bark of the slippery elm has been used to soothe mucous membranes throughout the body and ease the soreness of my throat. I find that it also tastes good.”
Example #2: A client reports: “My knee hurts”. It has been hurting every once in a while ever since high school when I injured it playing football. But lately, it just hurts all the time. I’m tired of taking painkillers all the time. What else can I do?”
A diagnostic response would be: “You probably have arthritis in your knee.” Or, “Arthritis usually starts several years after an injury.”
A prescriptive response would be: “Try taking Glucosamine three times a day, to decrease the swelling in your knee, and the pain will subside.”
An educational response would be: “Some of my other clients have told me that some dietary supplements are reported to reduce the swelling and decrease the pain in their joints. You might want to read up on the effects of adding Glucosamine to a daily routine.”
Using educational language verbally throughout your session, and using only educational and “client” language throughout all of your written forms, notes and materials in your record-keeping is important both legally and ethically. It is not illegal to inform and educate about wellness and health, yet the interpretation of how the information is conveyed can make the difference between being viewed by some as “practicing medicine without a license” or not. Educating and empowering the client is the ultimate goal of the practitioner. Practicing with high professional integrity and competency is imperative.

Stress & The Cranial, Dental, Sacral Complex
This area of Biological Dentistry deals with the structural balance that influences our neurological, mental, emotional and physiological health. The Cranial, Dental, Sacral Complex is composed of our cranium, dental arches and teeth, spinal column and sacrum area.
Imagine our skeletal system as our skull held over our shoulder girdle by the neck and our spine positioned over our pelvic girdle. In other words, the human skeletal body consists of a spinal column with the head bone at one end and the tailbone at the other. Like all the other structures, balance is the key in stability.
Dr. James Carlson observed that parallel relationships exist in the structurally stable human body (figure 1) which permits it to maintain balance. These parallel planes include the ear plane, eye plane, shoulder plane, elbow and knee planes and pelvic plane. Dr. Carlson’s observation revealed that the upper jaw or maxillae was another anatomic part that was also parallel to these other planes.
Figure 2. The dural tube is a continuous membrane that surrounds the brain, passes out of the base of the skull, attaches to the first three cervical vertebrae, and continues down the spinal cord where it finally attaches to the sacrum. This tube is the source for structural disturbances being transmitted from one part of the body to another. Because the body works reciprocally, imbalances in the skull can influence the neck, lower back, and pelvis and the reverse is also true. (Courtesy of Dr. Gerald Smith)
Figure 3: The cranial dural membranes act as stabilizers to the vault bones. Physical trauma (whiplash injuries, blows to the head, forceful tooth extraction, etc.) and dental malocclusions have the potential to disrupt dural membrane balance and normal cranial rhythm. Such changes can cause adverse neurological function throughout the body.
(Courtesy of Dr. Gerald Smith)
Closer to home for me, the upper teeth are set in the maxilla. The maxilla is not just a jaw, it represents the front third of the cranial base. If the upper jaw is
distorted (crooked teeth, crossed bite, one side higher than the other, canted maxilla, etc.), then the forces generated by the unmatched biting teeth can distort the skull. To make things even more complicated, in the head and neck region there are 136 muscles. Muscle tension or spasm can influence cranial motion.
Among these muscles are the muscles of mastication (chewing). Since these muscles are all attached to the skull, improper bite can often trigger muscle spasms, which in turn can jam the sutures and distort the cranial bones.
As if this were not enough, dental malocclusion (bad bite) like deep bite, cross bite (front or back), a constricted narrow upper arch, faulty crowns or dentures, high cant of maxilla, or under-developed lower jaw can all contribute to cranial distortion. Please read on to find out why this is so important.
Cranial Motion
In 1939, Osteopath William Sutherland discovered that there is a rhythmic motion to our cranium. The adult cranium (figure 4) is composed of 28 bones. These bones are attached together at junctions called sutures. In the past, sutures were considered immovable joints, however the work of Dr. John Upledger proved that these sutures were viable structures (figure 5).
Figure 4.
Gerald Smith)
The cranium is a dynamic structure that is in a constant state of micro-motion. This motion can occur because of the inherent flexibility of bones plus the presence of the expansion joints or sutures that lie between each bone. Architects design buildings, bridges and roads with specific leeway for expansion, contraction and torsion. Nature likewise provides for similar allowances in the flexibility of its hard and soft tissues and their interconnections. (Courtesy of Dr.
The origin of cranial motion is thought to be the brain cells, so just as the lungs rhythmically contract and expand through breathing, so does our cranium. This cranial motion is also known as Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM). PRM is independent of all other body rhythms like heartbeat, breathing, and the waves of movement that pass food along the intestines.
Figure 5.
Scientists have documented the existence of nerves, blood vessels, and connecting fibers in the sutural areas. Anatomists have also shown the direct physical connection between the inside and outside of the skull.
The dural membrane that surrounds the brain communicates with and
influences the outside of the skull by means of an outer fibrous layer. This layer passes through the sutures and covers the bony portions of the skull.
For this reason, internal tension has the potential to cause external changes such as muscle spasm (a migraine patient’s scalp can become sore from simple brushing) and vice-type pressure. The reverse is also true. Whether the headache is due to physical tension or a vascular migraine, the dural membrane will be affected. (Courtesy of Dr. Gerald Smith)
PRM is felt as the expansion and contraction of the head and body. The mechanism is characterized by the light movement of the bones of the skull and the sacrum, the dural tube and the central nervous system with the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (figure 6). Sutherland did experiments on himself by restricting various bones of his head. He experienced both adverse physiological changes throughout his body and unpleasant emotions. He then concluded that good physiological and mental health depends not only on the bones of the cranium being in the right position, but also on the ability of the sutures to allow this micro-motion to happen.
Figure 6.
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced by choroid plexuses within the ventricles of the brain. Increased production occurs with increased stimulation of the parasympathetic (PNS) part of the nervous system. The PNS is located primarily in the cranium and sacral part of the body. Distortions of the skull bones or pelvic area have the potential to cause an increased quantity of CSF and raise intracranial pressure. (Courtesy of Dr. Gerald Smith)
This cranial motion can further be divided into two basic micro-motions: primary and secondary. Primary micro-motion involves the independent movement of the skull and spinal cord, which facilitates the movement of CSF, articular motion of the cranial bones and involuntary motion of the sacrum. Secondary cranial respiratory motion synchronizes with our breathing cycles of inhalation and exhalation. Inhalation expands the cranium while exhalation reduces it. Both primary and secondary respiration is coordinated by the dural tube. This tube is the source of structural disturbances transmitted from one part of the spinal column (Sacrum) to the other (skull). Because our skeletal system works reciprocally, any imbalance in the cranium can affect the neck, lower back, pelvis and vise versa (figure 7.)
Figure 7.
In reality, the body functions just like a slinky. A distortion at one end will be reflected to its area of compensation. For example, the bones of the hands and feet work reciprocally as well as the ankle and wrist, knee and elbow, pelvis and shoulders. One of the main connecting links of the body that enables this slinky effect to occur is the dural tube. Joint receptors and
neuromuscular biofeedback provide other means by which the body functions reciprocally.
(Courtesy of Dr. Gerald Smith)
I hope it has become clear that imbalances in any part of this system can interfere with cranial motion and cause disease in our system. Physical traumas such as whiplash
injury to the neck or pelvis trauma from falling off a horse, bad posture caused by working in front of computer extensively, and dental problems such as bad bite are examples of things that can disturb the balance in the system. These can cause cranial distortion and restrict cranial motion eliciting clinical symptoms such as headache, dizziness, numbness, muscle spasm, faulty digestion, jaw pain, irregular heartbeat, tinnitus, migraines (figure 8), circulatory problems, chronic fatigue, sinusitis, constipation, neck ache, shoulder ache, eye pain, and facial pain.
Figure 8.
Migraine headaches usually affect one-half of the victim’s head. Since the dural tube is a reciprocating membrane, tension or torquing in the skull will cause one side to be in traction while the other side provides the slack. The nerves passing through the tensioned side will be responsible for the varied and extensive pains. The dural torquing can result from a single or various combinations of structural distortion involving the pelvis, spinal vertebrae, dental malocclusion or cranial bone restrictions.
These structural problems can be triggered by emotional, physical, nutritional or physiological stressors (e.g. organ dysfunction, under-active thyroid, muscle spasm or weakness, fixed and removable
dental bridgework) (Courtesy of Dr. Gerald Smith)
Closer to my area of expertise, patients with a deep overbite, underdeveloped lower jaw, cross bite, or collapsed bite may experience cranial distortion and dural torque. Many of them suffer from headaches, migraines, neck and shoulder stiffness and lower back pain. Some may have itchiness or stuffiness in the ears and many have clicking jaw joints.
Among the other dental conditions is conventional orthodontics that involved the amputation of premolar teeth to mechanically achieve esthetic arches by moving back the upper six front teeth. This caused restriction of the maxilla, palatine, vomer and sphenoid skull bones and contributed further to an already forward head position and loss of normal curvature of the cervical vertebra. Studies have shown that patients with the above treatment have a limited neck movement and compressed upper cervical vertebra especially at the level of C1 to C3. They are already at a disadvantage with regard to their dental, cervical and cranial balance. If these individuals are involved in an accident and experience a whiplash injury to their neck, they will never fully recover unless their structural imbalance is addressed.

VII. DENTAL – ORAL MUSCULAR RE-EDUCATION BIOFEEDBACK TRAINING PROGRAM
The Dental – Oral Muscular Re-Education program was added as a tool intended to be used by Dental professionals. However, many Practitioners have found the program very helpful to their clients, as the Dental – Oral Muscular Re-Education program can be a very powerful stress reduction tool.
The tendency toward either cavities or periodontal disease (pockets) is established in the first months of lactation. Gum disease is considered reversible and seems to respond well to Vitamin C and COQ 10 supplementation.
TMJ is known as ‘the great imposter’ in that it can trigger a number of seemingly unrelated issues like headaches, hip pain, and back pain.
Root Canals can be problematic, and dentists admit 15% are chronically infected. According to TCM a dead tooth is an energetically ‘dead fuse’ in the associated Meridian. If you are considering removing root canalled teeth that are temperature sensitive or occasionally sensitive, consult with a biological dentist. Biological dentists are ‘Naturopathic dentist’; who are trained in these procedures.

II. ACTIVATING THE POINT PROBE
The Point Probes are a way to localize the energy and benefit a variety of programs. Using the different attachments can widen the scope of applications and increase the efficacy of various programs. Since it is not possible to properly sterilize the attachments without an autoclave; these probes should not be used inside the oral cavity. Consider that the dental attachments are still effective used on the skin surface over the jaw.
To activate the point probe from the Dental Screen:
� Body and Face Scan (upper bar)
� Point Probe Active (Note: this option does not always “appear”; if you click one
of the actual point probe programs it automatically activates and then it appears here.)
• Insert one end of the cable with banana plug tips into the bottom of the point probe handle (the handle receives the various point probe tips and attachments) and insert the other end into the Red output slot on the back of the Indigo device.
• The point probe can be used at any time during the session.
III. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
Nosode: Homeopathics originally made from pathogens – virus, bacteria, fungus, worms, diseased tissue, etc.
Sarcode: Homeopathics originally made from healthy tissue/organ samples.

SYMMETRY THEORY
The principle of “Symmetry Theory” states that our bodies strive to maintain proportional balance between both the left and right sides. Therefore, symptoms can express on the opposite side from where the most stress is, as the body’s attempt to balance its “symmetry”.
For example, pain can express on the right side, when stress is often
occurring on the opposite left side, sometimes without symptoms, but is often observable through biofeedback reactivity (high numbers on the opposite side). For this reason, it is helpful to closely observe (and train) the high stress reactions on the opposite side from where the client’s symptoms are, as this often can be a cause of stress and imbalance. This theory can also be considered in light of other forms of stress and pain throughout the body.
� The selection box of a specific concern. For example, you can check off “Infection Search” or you may choose more than one, such as “Mechanical Stress Search”.

• Note: These programs are also available under the ‘Therapies’ drop down menu without having to enter the TMJ Muscle Sarcode Program.)
• Note: It is wise to avoid overstimulation of these muscles on clients with a history of heavy amalgam dental fillings. The body strives to protect the brain and the blood, and mercury traces can often be stored in the muscles for this reason. If the client does not
rectify upon 3 clicks of any of the muscles, consider moving onto the next reactive muscle to avoid the inadvertent release of possible stored excess mercury stress.

XVII. SPECIAL APPLICATION – HARMONIC RATES BIOFEEDBACK TRAINING PROGRAM
’Harmonic Rates’ are number sequences that capture the energetic 'shape’ or essences of substances, conditions, even thoughts and intentions. They operate non-physically, and non-locally (can be broadcast by computer or by intent as well).
� On the Universal Biofeedback Therapy panel, enter the following rates by typing the corresponding numbers (double spacing between selections) into the Primary Disease box of the Trivector and Hololinguistic Program box.
� Select “Add to Schuman Wave”.
• These will now run in the background of your entire session.

CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE BRAIN – BRAIN WAVE PATTERN TRAINING DEFINITIONS
Adapted from the Clasp32 program with permission from Professor William Nelson
Cerebellar Disorders
Here there is a poly spike wave set at 4-6Hz with anterior maximum. This can be from demyleination of the cerebella area. There may be accompanying dizziness and inability to maintain balance. Program should include fatty acids and proper Sarcodes.
Local Slow Waves
Local Slow waves are less than 8Hz and appear at only one electrode. Local Slow waves come from abscesses, migraines, hypertension, etc.
Amplitude Disorders
Here the overall battery of the brain is weak. This can be because of mineral, dehydration, amino acid deficiency, fatty acid deficiency, or hypo-oxygenation. This can occur in brain death, stroke, Huntington’s chorea, brain toxicity, or metabolic disease. Anxiety or intense fear can also produce such a pattern.
Epileptic
Hyperarrhythmia, slow spike, multifocal independent spikes, epileptic spindles all are detectable. These can occur in infants sometimes without any risk. Past eight years old, these patterns can be evidence of brain hormone deficiency, injury, or other blockage of hormonal activity.
General Asymmetry
Here there is a difference in the amplitude and or phase of the waves from the two sides of the head. Thalamic cortical lesions can cause lesions on one side. A skull defect can cause this pattern. Suggest cranial sacral training or other cranial adjustment.
Injury
Many traumas physical or emotional can produce certain waveforms. These forms are over synchronous for a period then non synchronous for a period. There will occur an abnormal alpha wave that prevents total relaxation. This indicated the need for the Injury homeopathic or other training for trauma.
Bilateral Synch
Here slow waves (7- 8Hz) are found on both sides of the head with exactly the same occurrence. The pattern can shift location and can be detected as trains of waves on a background of lower amplitude. They can be created by hyperventilation, drowsiness, hypoglycemia, having a disorder more in the gray matter than the white matter, structural disorders, in the mesencephalon, diencephalons, or the frontal lobe. Also train for toxins, endocrine and metabolic disease.
Deep Brain Asymmetry
Many conditions can affect deep parts of the brain. Limbic, thalamic, rhineencephalon and other areas can produce certain wave deformities that will echo on each channel and even affect the total Trivector analysis. Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Addison’s, Wilson’s. Other metabolic diseases can produce this pattern. Toxins such as steroids or drugs can also do the same. Vitamin and mineral deficiency such as B12, Copper, Potassium, can also result in this function. Carbon Monoxide or oxygen deficiency such as emphysema can produce the phenomena. Hypoglycemia or liver disease must also be trained.
Personality Disorders
The personality engram has a trivector signature reactive field. If there are two engrams appearing this factor can appear. There are other forms, which can be detected from the Clasp32 program. These factors will need to be trained with coaching and or NLP techniques.
Attention Deficit Disorder
Improper Reticular Formation function, coupled with inability to hold focus, and inward focus versus outward focus will generate this profile. Train minerals and kidney for reabsorption of minerals, proteins and other nutrients. Avoid all processed foods and food additives. Add fresh and raw fruits and vegetables.

DENTAL PRE and POST-TREATMENT PLAN HOMEOPATHIC DENTAL AMALGAM (NV) # 603 (MATRIX TRIVECTOR SIGNATURE ID NUMBER)
Six drops twice a day, either under the tongue, or in a little water.
Separate from food by one hour either side. Start seven days before dental treatment and include day of treatment. Continue same dose for three weeks, if dental treatment scheduled, take it on that day.
See the following Matrix items:
• TMJ (NV) #755
• Dentotox / Root Canal / Guna # 6652
• Dental Sack Nosode #2937
• Dentotox 4 Dental Drainage / Guna # 6642
• Periodontal Disease Nosode # 2922
• Dentotox 11 Nerve Sedative / Guna # 6649
CHARCOAL
Take 3 charcoal tablets half an hour before any dental treatment involving amalgam removal and 3 in morning and three at bed for 2 weeks after.
BENTONITE CLAY
Take three bentonite tablets half an hour before any dental treatment involving amalgam removal and one in the morning and 3 at bed for 2 weeks after.
GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE
Dose: 1 with water half an hour before breakfast. Start 2 days before treatment involving amalgam removal. Continue for 2 days after treatment, that is five days in all.
ORGANIC CHELATED SELENIUM ZINC and VITAMIN E
No more than 50 mcg of organically bound selenium, 25 mg of zinc, and 400 iu of Vitamin E a day at bed with 10 oz. of water. Use for 5 days after. This will prevent kidney toxicity of the selenium.
FATTY ACID LIQUESCENCE
30 drops a day for 1 week before and for 1 month after.
VITAMIN C POWDER
Start right away, Dosage: 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) once a day. Or use 1000mg chewable. On treatment days: 1/4 teaspoon before and 1/4 teaspoon after treatment.
MAGNESIUM SUCCINATE
Start: On each day of treatment
Dose: 2 capsules 2 hours before treatment
2 capsules within 2 hours after treatment then drink one pint of water over the following two hours
• Support adrenal, liver, kidney and lymph when needed.
GOOD NATURAL MULTIVITAMIN & MINERAL
Start: 8 days before treatment
Dose: 1 per day in the morning (with food)
• Continue for 6 weeks after treatment
CORIANDER (CILANTRO)
• This must be fresh and preferably organic if you can get it. (It is very easy to grow at home in a sunny position – dried coriander does NOT work well.) Fresh is better.
• Research published late in 1996 has shown that Coriander has a wonderful capacity to remove heavy metals and especially mercury from the body. This is a revolutionary discovery and makes Cilantro the first known substance that mobilizes mercury from the CNS. The active principle is unknown.
RECIPE FOR CILANTRO-PESTO
• Buy fresh organic Cilantro
• Use equal parts black olives
• Wash
• Put in blender with small amount of water, dash of sea salt
• (Celtic salt is good) and olive oil and Fatty Acid Liq. (NV) 20 drops,
• Blend until creamy. Take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day with meals
• Do not heat, spread on bread or crackers, use on salad
ALTERNATE PESTO RECIPE
Coriander – 1 bunch 10 Black Olives Garlic – to taste Black pepper to taste
Coconut desiccated ½ cup Lime ½ juiced
Olive Oil – cold pressed Fatty Acid Liq. 20 drops
• Any black vegetable such as black pepper and black olives are black from excess selenium and chromium, the organic bounding will not stress the kidney but assist detox of heavy metals, and Guinness beer also will help – no more than 2 pints a day.
• Blend all together and keep refrigerated for 1 week.
• Note: It is important to continue with detoxification after removal of fillings in order to remove mercury, which has built up over the years.
Note: Some discomfort may occur if mercury is detoxed too fast. Some examples of discomfort would be: low back pain, brain fog or under eye circles, in which case, the detox should be stopped and the kidneys would need to be drained until resuming.
There are several natural formulas, which can assist in this process.

О БИОРЕЗОНАНСЕ
БИОРЕЗОНАНС – „МАГИЧЕСКАЯ” МЕДИЦИНА
В России создан новый метод излечения, намного превосходящий гомеопатию и экстрасенсорику
Если открыть русские книги по гомеопатии второй половины XIX века, то в конце толстых фолиантов можно найти рекламу гомеопатических походных аптечек. Среди них отдельно предлагались мини-аптечки для знахарей, хуторян, церковников. Аптечки эти непременно сопровождались справочником по гомеопатии с точным описанием средств. Вот почему, растворяя сахарные гомеопатические шарики в чистой или святой воде, священники нередко демонстрировали «чудесные исцеления». Не шибко грамотной пастве такое врачевание святой водой и святым духом, естественно, казалось чудом.
Из истории «чудес»
В 1954 году немецкий доктор Рейн-хард Фолль, возможно, случайно заметил, что у больного, который коснулся рукой лекарства при измерении .потенциала биологически активных точек, изменились его показатели. Так было сделано открытие: лекарства даже на расстоянии меняют энергетическое состояние человека и его органов — сердца, почек, печени и целых систем. И особенно хорошо, как выяснилось, действуют гомеопатические лекарства. Видимо, потому, что согласно исследованиям они обладают особо выраженной волновой природой. В наше время засилья экстрасенсов, может быть несколько необычно выглядит вывод, что каждое гомеопатическое лекарство по своей сути представляет своеобразный волновой генератор, заключенный либо в сахарном шарике, либо в спиртовом растворе, либо просто в воде, креме, мази. Скажем, гомеопатические разведения конского каштана действуют преимущественно на вены и толстую кишку, восстанавливая их нормальные функции. Разведения такого растения, как белладонна, соком которого красавицы еще в древнем Риме расширяли для красоты свои зрачки, более всего подходят именно красивым, черноволосым женщинам с большими глазами и «пронзительными» зрачками. Гомеопатическая ромашка — это тоже по преимуществу женщина, но белокурая и нервная, закомплексованная и разряжающая себя резкими выходками.
Есть и мужские лекарства, которые в своей сути соответствуют определенным типам людей, достаточно подробно их характеризуя. Вот, скажем, тип ликоподия — растения, в простонародье называемого плауном. Этот тип характеризует известного всем экс-президента СССР Горбачева. Да и судите сами. Михаил Сергеевич по зодиаку Рыба, а корень слова плаун как раз и восходит к слову плавать. Причем это такое густо по земле «плавающее» растение, что в этом нетрудно разглядеть и конформизм личности ликоподия, который приспосабливается к любым меняющимся условиям жизни. Но что приспособленчество дало в результате? Нет ни СССР, ни его президента. А ведь гомеопатический ликоподий мог бы помочь последнему исправить характер, устранить забывчивость, необязательность и двойственность натуры.
Супермедицина сегодня
Подобно чудесным гомеопатическим аптечкам для священников теперь появились такие походные, умещающиеся в портфеле, приборы, которые могут заменить целую гомеопатическую аптеку. И если когда-то гомеопатию называли медициной, которая лечит «ничем», потому что не могли измерить и зарегистрировать биополя человека и лекарства, то теперь можно сказать, что появились наконец-то приборы, которые и любого экстрасенса могут проверить, и отделить шарлатанов от истинных специалистов своего дела. Да плюс ко всему эти приборы сами могут настроиться на биополе человека, измерить волновые характеристики его болезни и тут же, так сказать, не отходя от кассы, сотворить препарат, который по своим параметрам станет «антиболезнью». И вот, зарядив такой «антиболезнью» воду, спирт или сахар, мы получим лекарство практически от любого недуга. Это новое чудо в медицине назвали биорезонансом.
Пионером в развитии биорезонанса в нашей стране стала российская фирма «Имедис». Этой фирме Минздрав РФ официально доверил все испытания и разработки приборов подобного класса. И именно она обогнала все западные фирмы в своих исследованиях и практическом применении новшества.
Известный немецкий исследователь Морель, создавая теорию и технику биорезонанса, «разложил» человека на конкретные полочки с частотами органов и систем… До него еще доктор Фолль, награжденный папой римским за открытие электропунктуры золотой медалью, выяснил, что, скажем, печень «работает» на колебаниях 7 герц, сердце — на 5 герцах, почки — на 9 герцах. Морель пошел дальше, стараясь выявить взаимосвязи частот и органов. Получилось более 64 параметров. Трудно представить такое количество регуляторов, которые нормализуют состояние здоровья в целом. Сколько же лет надо вращать ручки на созданном приборе чтобы достичь желаемого результата?!
«Имедис» эту же задачу предельно упростила с помощью ЭВМ и специального переносного прибора, который и стал чудесным фильтром, способным автоматически отсеять волновые частоты болезни от «волн здоровья». Конечно, все это непросто далось. Более восьми лет ушло на эксперименты и поиски. И за всем этим стоят люди — большие энтузиасты и альтруисты, бесконечно преданные своей идее. Кто они?
…Мы находились в тесной комнате одного из старых корпусов Московского энергетического института, где разместилась фирма — разработчик адаптивного биорезонанса. Неторопливая беседа с генеральным директором Юрием Валентиновичем Готовским. Он, видимо, уже привычно рисовал фломастером забавных человечков с электродами на руках и ногах — «плюсом» и «минусом». В этих рисунках человечки как бы оживали, и когда мы слушали Ю. Готовского, создавалось впечатление, что все сказки про волшебников и магов, которые нам читали в детстве, сбываются здесь наяву.
И в самом деле, как может поверить непосвященный в то, что маленький аппарат размером с журналистский блокнот способен излечить многие болезни, облегчить состояние людей, получивших большие дозы радиации, различные химические отравления, предотвратить инфаркт, избавить даже от СПИДа.
— В принципе,— сказал Ю. Готовский,— биорезонансная терапия отличается тем, что для лечения человека никаких воздействий извне на него не оказывается. Но что же такое человек с точки зрения биорезонанса? Тут мы должны вспомнить точку зрения медицинской кибернетики. Человек — это многосвязная иерархическая система управления, и сигналы в нем самом подразделяются на гармонические, или физиологически здоровые, колебания и дисгармонические, или патологические. Последние, их еще называют помеховыми, «злыми», нарушают процессы управления в организме и в результате ведут к болезням. Вот эти колебания в процессе лечения и надо элиминировать, или, попросту говоря, подавить. Есть еще, правда, и шумовые колебания, но они, хотя и мешают процессам управления, однако к патологии не приводят. А далее наша аппаратура позволяет сегодня отделить патологические частоты и сделать их инверсию на 180 градусов. Организм человека, принимая такие инверсные волны, приходит в состояние нормы. И создать «антиболезнь» можно практически любую — и антигрипп, и антитуберкулез, и антиникотин, и антиалкоголь, словом, победить любую патологию, лишь приставить к ней «анти»…
Клинические подтверждения этим словам генерального мы нашли в московской поликлинике № 100, где простые с виду приборы были подключены к компьютеру и велся прием больных. Нам довелось быть свидетелями, как сотрудник фирмы, врач по профессии, Леонид Тальпис на глазах «снял» с пациентки тяжелую аллергическую сыпь. Было в практике «Имедиса» и такое, когда подключенную к аппарату больную при лечении охватили судороги — ну точь-в-точь картина экзерсизма, или, проще говоря, изгнания бесов. Тогда пациентке посоветовали сходить в церковь и поставить свечку за здоровье тех, кто, быть может, на нее повлиял. Удивительное дело, но после лечения и посещения церкви состояние больной быстро улучшилось. Или другой экзотический, случаи: на одном из уральских заводов у многих рабочих появились странные симптомы, которые нельзя было причислить ни к одной из известных болезней. Ну, скажем условно, что при ярком освещении у них развивалось косоглазие, которое проходило при обычном освещении. Препарат приготовили из… снега, взятого в окрестностях завода, сделав на приборе «антиснег». И опять удивительный результат — количество больничных листов на предприятии сократилось в несколько раз и самочувствие людей заметно улучшилось.
Магия, фантастика, реальность
По большому счету явления биорезонанса известны издревле. Обладают им многие вещи и формы. Скажем, в тибетской медицине давно известно плоды энтады (растения семейства бобовых), семена которой лечат болезни почек. Но не в этом дело. Особых «почечных» химических элементов в энтаде нет, зато плоды ее напоминают силуэт человеческой почки. Точно так же в тибетской медицине плоды сливы применяются при болезнях сердца. По форме они очень похожи на этот орган. Но вот что интересно: ученые пробовали лечить сердечников в специальных камерах сердцевидной формы и получали хорошие результаты. В других опытах ученых искусственно выращиваемые клетки печени, почек и других органов принимали их форму, только уменьшенных размеров, сколько бы раз эти клетки ни делили. Каким биополем управляются эти процессы, наука ответить пока не может.
Подобных примеров можно привести массу, но основа тут одна — биорезонанс. Недаром, видимо, древние целители, исходя из принципов подобия, создали целую теорию сигнатур — так называемых указателей. Потому и растение печеночница получило такое название, что формой листа напоминает печень, а сердечник — сердце и т. д. И старинные знахари находили такие соответствия во всем, особенно выделяя растения, напоминающие формой человека (вспомните женьшень), которые обладают удивительной способностью восстанавливать все системы организма. Так и хочется привести слова из старинного травника о до сих пор не определенном учеными растении: «Перенос трава, собою мала и темна, цвет ворон, а как отцветет, то с стручками. Та трава добра и всяка нечисть противиться ей не может… А корень его как есть человек». Иными словами, переносит растение свои свойства добра на человека, так как корнем похожа на него.
Так думали в старину, рассуждая о здоровье. В знаменитом тибетском трактате «Чжуд-Ши», написанном в VII веке самим Буддой Шакьямуни, такая ситуация была предсказана в зашифрованных в сложные образы и понятия текстах: «Когда наступит конец последней полтысячи, демоны-пхуты начнут устраивать козни против здоровья. Ма-мо и дакини (тоже виды демонов, или энергических существ.— Авт.) напустят злые болезни и заразы. Еретики ядом пропитают все вещи, тогда важно будет сохранить себя и других». И прежде всего Будда указывал на необходимость защиты в биоэнергетике и потому после названных мер и снадобий подытоживал: «Общими являются заклинания-дхарани (мантры или молитвы) и различные вещества»,— к которым мы сегодня могли бы отнести такие новейшие в гомеопатии средства, как нозоды, органопрепараты и биорезонанс.
Человек — ведро?
А ведь еще «отцом» электропунктуры Р. Фоллем была выдвинута теория, сравнивающая человека с… ведром, в котором в течение жизни накапливается мусор от неправильного обмена веществ, токсинов травм, стрессов, химических веществ, различных лекарств, особенно антибиотиков. Сюда входят трудно диагностируемые болезни, дисбактериозы, различные синдромы типа хронической усталости, зачастую не поддающиеся никаким из привычных методов лечения. И все эти синдромы выявлены биорезонансом и успешно лечатся с помощью очищения организма, специального гомеопатического и биорезонансного дренажа органов и систем человеческого организма, натуропатии. 200 тысяч пациентов прошли через биорезонансную терапию, и около 80 процентов обрели здоровье и благополучие, а главное — научились сами владеть собой, обращаясь к более разумному образу жизни.
Конечно, биорезонанс, еще раз подчеркнем,— не панацея. Поэтому в центре «Имедис» его совмещают с гомеопатией, терапией нозодами, органопрепаратами, цвето- и магнитотерапией, другими естественными (натуропатически-ми) методами лечения, обучая совместно с Первой медицинской академией имени Сеченова врачей всем этим методам в комплексе.
Юрий Готовский не скрывал своих амбициозных планов: «Наши приоритетные разработки могут принести славу России, завоевать внешние рынки, потому что уже налажено производство приборов и широкое обучение медиков новым методикам диагностики и терапии. И уже обучено несколько тысяч человек. Эта работа не пройдет даром. А если к нашим заделам подключить солидные официальные структуры, конверсионные предприятия, то можно добиться еще больших успехов в распространении биорезонансной терапии. Большую помощь мы могли бы оказать детям по федеральным программам «Дети Чернобыля» и «Детство», ведь в первую очередь такая биотерапия нужна именно им — беспомощным, не умеющим просить и требовать или объяснить, почему им плохо. Да, наши приборы — не панацея, но представьте, как бы они помогли, если бы оказались доступными сельским врачам, в экспедициях, на кораблях дальнего плавания?»
По разрабатываемым методам диагностики и терапии фирмой «Имедис» выпущена целая серия книг, брошюр, сделан ряд докладов на научно-технических конференциях. Приборы и системы экспонировались на многих выставках как у нас в России, так и в Англии, Германии, других странах и получили высокую оценку специалистов. Общение с врачами, которые прошли обучение в «Имедисе», показывает, что медицина XXI века уже создана, развивается, и многие без нее уже не мыслят своей работы.

СИСТЕМНАЯ ПРОГРАММА БИОРЕЗОНАНСНОГО ВОССТАНОВЛЕНИЯ ЗРЕНИЯ
Сегодня поговорим о зрении – тема эта актуальна для многих людей. Вы будете удивлены, узнав что зрение реально восстанавливается даже у людей в пожилом возрасте, а таких тяжёлых болезней как глаукома и катаракта можно избежать с помощью несложной профилактики.
Миллионы людей становятся инвалидами в результате патологии органа зрения только потому, что у них нет информации о том, как восстановить своё зрение и как проводить профилактику глазных заболеваний.
Но сначала немного статистики. Только за один год прибыль от продажи очков, контактных линз и глазных операций составляет 50 000 000 000 долларов! Нетрудно догадаться , что бизнесменов такого профиля нет никакого интереса, чтобы вы видели хорошо!
На самом деле только самому человеку нужно чтобы он был здоров, так что спасение утопающих – дело рук самих утопающих. Несомненно многим будет интересна информация о восстановлении и улучшении зрения.
Итак давайте начнём с системного подхода.
ПЕРВАЯ СТУПЕНЬ К ВОССТАНОВЛЕНИЮ ЗРЕНИЯ- противопаразитарная
Прежде всего познакомимся с теми паразитами, которые могут вызывать ухудшение зрения, поскольку они иногда поселяются на сетчатке глаза.
Их всего лишь четыре, знакомьтесь поимённо:
- цитамегаловирус,
- грибы кандида,
- вирус герпеса
- хламидии
Пока эти паразиты живут на сетчатке и в тканях глаза – никакие иные способы восстановления зрения не будут 100% эффективными. Вы просто будете кормить этих паразитов.
Поэтому первое что необходимо сделать при ухудшении зрения – это удалить из тканей паразитов, которые имеют способность поселились в тканях глаза. Теперь это можно сделать с помощью приборов биорезонанса, если вы не хотите нанести вред своему здоровью лекарствами.

ВТОРАЯ СТУПЕНЬКА при восстановлении зрения – это питание глаза и восстановление еСИСТЕМЫ КРОВОСНАБЖЕНИЯ ГЛЗА И МИКРОЦИРКУЛЯЦИИ, ЕГО ЭНЕРГЕТИКИ.
Для хорошей работы сетчатой оболочки глаза в первую очередь нужны бета-каротиноиды, их содержится много в овощах и фруктах оранжевого цвета.
Человек видит не глазами, а мозгом. Лецитин входит в состав миелиновой оболочки нервных клеток – поэтому он тоже очень важен для зрения. ВОССТАНОВЛЕНИЕ МИЕЛИНОВОЙ ОБОЛОЧКИ НЕРВОВ – ПО ПЛЕЧУ БИОРЕЗОНАНСУ.
И совершенно необходимо С ПОМОЩЬЮ ТОГО ЖЕ БИОРЕЗОНАНСА усилить мозговое кровообращение и микроциркуляцию в сосудах глаза.
Активированная биорезонансным способом вода – поможет нормализовать обмен веществ в целом. Употребление чего-то одного малоэффективно. Нужно использовать все в комплексе.

ЧЕТВЕРТАЯ СТУПЕНЬКА – это тренировка глазных мышц, это отказ от очков. ПРИ УСЛОВИИ ВЫПОЛНЕНИЯ АЛЬТЕРНАТИВНОЙ БИОРЕЗОНАНСНОЙ ПРОГРАММЫ ВОССТАНОВЛЕНИЯ ОСТРОТЫ ЗЕРЕНИЯ. Очки стопроцентно вредят зрению. Они нужны только в самом крайнем случае. Это самый лучший способ ещё больше УХУДШИТЬ зрение.
Выполняйте соответствующие программы биорезонанса – восстанавливайте остроту зрения. Мы живём не в степи, а в замкнутом пространстве и привыкаем часами смотреть в упор на компьютер, в телевизор или в тетрадь, при этом практически никогда не смотрим на горизонт. Это ненормально!
От неравномерной нагрузки некоторые глазные мышцы деградируют, а некоторые наоборот перенапрягаются. Из-за этого форма глаза меняется, и мы становимся близорукими или наоборот дальнозоркими, приобретаем астигматизм.
Подобно тому как космонавтам, возвратившимся из длительного полёта, приходится заново учиться ходить, точно также надо начинать тренировать свои дряблые глазные мышцы.
И здесь также Вам поможет биорезонанс. Включение частотных блоков для астигматизма, близорукости и дальнозоркости показано всем вне зависимости от типа нарушения зрения- это тренирует не только глазные мышцы, но и способно восстановить нормальный размер глазного яблока.
Натренировать их и восстановить правильную работу глаз можно и нужно. Для этого существуют очень эффективные программы, которые позволяют наладить зрительные функции и укрепить глазные мышцы. Буквально накачать их как бицепсы или трицепсы. Это своеобразная гимнастика для органа зрения. Тренируйтесь. Восстановление зрения с помощью гимнастики происходит в любом возрасте!

ПЯТАЯ СТУПЕНЬ –это очищение и восстановление оптических сред глаза – глазной оптики
Что касается таких болезней глаз, как катаракта (помутнение хрусталика) и глаукома (повышенное глазное давление),отслойка или повреждение сетчатки- эти болезни связаны с зашлакованностью организма и нарушением обмена веществ. Шлаки откладываются на стенках сосудов и в тканях хрусталика, засоряют канальцы, по которым циркулирует внутриглазная жидкость.
По данным Всемирной организации здравоохранения катарактой страдает около 17 миллионов человек в возрасте после 60 лет. В 70-80 лет катаракта есть у 260 мужчин и 460 женщин на 1000 человек, а после 80 лет – практически у каждого.
Катаракта и глаукома приводят к полной слепоте. Их лечение сводится к своевременной операции и в пожизненном поддерживании глазного давления на нормальном уровне с помощью очень токсичных средств.
Капельки от глаукомы надо закапывать строго по часам всю жизнь, и ни дай бог уехать на дачу, оставив их дома. Забывчивость обернётся отслоением сетчатки и полной утратой зрения. Вы хотите жить такой жизнью?
При катаракте помутневший хрусталик удаляют, потому что других способов её лечения в офтальмологии нет вообще.
Между тем эти болезни на начальной стадии вылечиваются – если заниматься мерами по улучшению обмена веществ и выведению токсинов. Застойные явления рассасываются у людей, которые пьют много воды и регулярно занимаются биорезонансным очищением организма.
Профилактика глаукомы и катаракты проста– вам может помочь хорошая витализировання и активированная вода. Это именно она способствует очищению организма от шлаков и токсинов, останавливая процесс старения глаз.
Нельзя не упомянуть также спасительную программу глубокой очистки организма от шлаков – после её прохождения к людям также возвращается утраченное годами зрение. Глубокое очищение рекомендуется проходить регулярно – не реже 3-4 раз в год.
Ещё раз хотим подчеркнуть важность того, что восстанавливать зрение нужно на основе системного подхода, в комплексе.

Тактика лечения человека от паразитов с помощью биорезонанса.
Начало формы
Конец формы
Тема эта назрела давно, так как сейчас уже многие клиенты и партнеры компании пользуются приборами биорезонансной терапией и применение программ по уничтожению мешающей нам паразитарной флоры, а также тактика лечения паразитов у человека, имеет, очень важное значение, при лечении многих патологий человеческого организма.
Но для начала, чтобы понять механизмы воздействия на паразитов с помощью приборов биорезонансной терапии, нужно знать, что же это такой за зверь, эти паразиты! И с чем их едят!
Знание – великая вещь, которая позволяет ГРАМОТНО подойти к выбору методики лечения паразитов у человека, так как хочется именно вылечиться, а не лечить годами и десятилетиями.
И с помощью приборов брт, это более чем реально!
В понятие многих людей уже давно закрепилось мнение, что ПАРАЗИТЫ – это черви или гельминты, проще говоря, но это не совсем так.
Паразиты — это любые организмы, которые живут за счет другого организма, нанося ему вред, будь то гельминты, простейшие, бактерии, грибы или вирусы.
И здесь важно, подобрать правильную тактику лечения паразитов у человека ,независимо от их локализации и степени заражения.
Они используют питательные вещества, создавая дефицит питания в организме хозяина. Анемии, нарушения опорно-двигательного аппарата, мышечные судороги и другие проблемы могут быть следствием именно нехватки витаминов и микроэлементов, поглощенных паразитами и не дошедших до хозяина.
При этом, вызывают хроническую интоксикацию продуктами своей жизнедеятельности. И это очень большая проблема для организма и часто, продвинутые врачи, называют хроническую интоксикацию от паразитозов зерном всех проблем в организме или почти всех.
И влияя на иммунитет организма хозяина для того, что быть «неузнанными». Им не нужно, чтобы организм распознал их, поэтому они до поры до времени ведут себя тихо в нем и стараются подстроить наш с Вами организм под себя, тем самым снижая наш иммунитет.
А также устойчивость к другим патогенным организмам и стрессовым факторам.
При этом, вызывая аллергозы, как результат сниженного иммунитета. Это всегда происходит, когда в организме, уже достаточно, паразитарной флоры, мешающей нам жить
И самые сильные аллергозы, могут привести к бронхиальной астме, например, или поллинозу, сенной лихорадке
Поэтому, вопросы аллергии, связанной с паразитами, очень важны..
Здесь хотелось бы немного отойти от паразитов и поговорить о таких микроорганизмах, которые живут в нас, под названием СИМБИОТИКИ.
Симбиоз-это взаимовыгодное сотрудничество организмов. Как пример, можно привести полезную флору кишечника, без которой трудно представить работу желудочно-кишечного тракта.
И если этих палочек и коков в кишечнике хватает, то там не остается места другим пришельцам, в том числе и паразитам. При этом и мы и наш кишечник чувствуют себя очень хорошо!
Именно, симбиотики ставят заслон паразитам.
В процессе своей жизнедеятельности, симбиотики не только защищают, но и вырабатывают вещества, полезные макро организму, а это витамины группы К.
А также они создают оптимальную среду в кишечнике для процессов пищеварения, нормализуют PH среды и активируют ферменты, необходимые для расщепления пищи.
Помимо симбиотиков, наш с вами организм всегда населяют, так называемые, САПРОФИТЫ.
Это условно-патогенные микроорганизмы, которые, как говорится, и нашим, и вашим, в зависимости от ситуации.
Это те организмы, которые населяют поверхности и среды нашего организма, и в обычных условиях, не являются болезнетворными.
К ним относятся некоторые виды простейших, грибов, бактерий и вирусов, а также другие биологические формы, такие как амебы, клебсиеллы, которые живут в кишечнике, дрожжевые грибки, стрепто бациллы, кокки и прочие палочки.
При нарушении биоценоза (дисбиоз), то есть при нарушении соотношения симбиотиков и условно-патогенных организмов, возникает воспаление, причем порою в острой фазе..
Могут возникать и хронические вялотекущие воспаления, например , хронические кандидозы, стафилококковые и стрептококковые поражения и так далее. Человек может покашливать, например, периодически, у него могут быть урогенитальные выделения небольшие или другие проявления.
Поэтому нашему организму необходим баланс между симбиотиками и сапрофитами!
И помните, что длительный прием, например, антибиотиков существенно нарушает этот баланс в сторону заселения условно патогенной флоры и здесь даже с помощью пробиотиков, кефира, биойогуртов и других препаратов и средств, сложно восстановить полезную микрофлору, что приводит к сбою не только в отдельно взятом органе, но и во всем организме.
Это происходит из-за того, что для полезной микрофлоры необходим определенный режим питания, продукты питания и состояние органов, и без этих составляющих они очень плохо приживаются в организме.
И здесь лучше всего принимать для восстановления полезной микрофлоры клетчатку, так как она стимулирует перельстатику и секрецию кишечника, а также служит опорой для строительства колоний полезных микроорганизмов.
Очень важно нормализовать функцию печени, желчеотделения, отделения сока поджелудочной железы и тогда, соблюдая все эти условия, полезные микроорганизмы будут хорошо приживаться.
С чего же начинать антипаразитарную очистку организма и лечение паразитов у человека, если появилась в этом необходимость?
Для начала нужно оценить свое состояние.
Если мы с Вами сталкиваемся с острым воспалением, то подход один. Если с вялотекущим или хроническим заболеванием, подход другой.
И здесь нужно это понимать, чтобы не навредить себе и своему организму биорезонансными приборами, о лечении которыми мы поговорим ниже. Нужно четко понимать. что к сожалению, многие проблемы человеческого организма, связанными с паразитарной флорой, невозможно решить, на данный момент, только медикаментозными методами или фито-сборами, так как колонии паразитов могут быстро мигрировать по телу, приспосабливаться к химии и горечам и мутировать, создавая видоизмененные формы существования в организме.
А вот, сочетание биорезонансных методов воздействия на паразитов и медикаментозных средств, дает тот эффект, который вы ожидаете от применения данных технологий и препаратов.
Биорезонансная терапия, тем и хороша, что как бы паразит или вредоносная микрофлора не «изгалялась», все равно частоты ,губительные для них, достанут их в любом месте, где только они окажутся. Причем, именно конкретно того паразита, которого нужно удалить, а не все скопом, а там непонятно как это отразиться на состоянии. И это очень важно, так как медикаментозные средства не способны часто достать паразитов в отдаленных участках нашего тела, что делает подобную терапию частично полезной, плюс бьют и полезное и вредное, превращая все это в кашу.
Хорошо, если сам организм поможет вам справиться с ними, а если нет?
Если мы имеем дело с острым воспалительным процессом, связанным с паразитозами, то здесь очень важно выявить этиологический фактор, то есть причину данной патологии и тех паразитов. которые ее вызывают.
Особенно не следует верить старинным и очень древним методам, которые применяет официальная медицина, связанная с бакпосевом. Методика его сбора такова, что при ее проведении вам могут занести еще массу различных микробов и болезнетворной флоры. Это касается, например, ангины или другого острого воспалительного процесса в организме.
И продвинутые врачи не советуют им уже пользоваться.
Конечно, есть метод ПЦР и другие, но это все время на анализы и его обработку. И здесь, лучше всего провести быстро вегето-резонансное тестирование организма, которое позволит вам быстро и без проблем установить основные причины поражения органа и провести его эффективное лечение, так как когда вы знаете точную причину, бороться с заболеванием значительно легче!
Также и сам врач, принимая пациента с острым воспалением, не важно, где оно у него, в горле, тазовых органах, животе, может, если у него достаточно практики и знаний, с большей вероятностью определить, что явилось причиной данной патологии и по состоянию слизистой, кожи, симптомов и имеющихся жалоб пациента.
Если, в результате гнойного или другого воспаления, мы предположили, что причиной может быть , например, стафилококк, клебсиелла, дизентерийная палочка, стрептококк или другие формы паразитозов, то мой вам совет, не ставить конкретно ТОЛЬКО программу по тому или иному паразиту, так как если мы с вами не провели тестирование организма или не сдали анализы, то мы можем не попасть в паразита, так как это только наше с Вами предположение. Здесь, при отсутствии диагностики и для быстрого решения острой проблемы, лучше всего поставить общие программы ,более широкого спектра действия.
Например, если начался сезон простуда, то лучше, помимо комплексов по простуде, для начала поставить программы.
-Аденовирус базовая
-Вирусы общие TR1 и TR2
-Грипп с респираторным компонентом
-Герпес базовый
Если даже, этих вирусов у вас нет, то ничего страшного не будет, так как частота не вступит в резонанс с проблемой и соответственно пройдет мимо, не нанося никакого вреда организму. А если есть, то это положительно и быстро скажется на вашей динамике лечения. Тем и хороша биорезонансная терапия, что ей сложно навредить.
Если иные проблемы острого характера, то можно поставить:
-Воспаление слизистой оболочки
— Воспаление 1 и 2
— Антисептик 1.2.3,4
-Ринит
-Гепатохолецистит
— Аднексит и другие
Здесь нужно смотреть, если например воспаление в ухе, то следует поставить программы воспаление слизистой и отит, воспаление 1 и 2 и дальше по симптоматике.
При воспалении верхних дыхательных путей, стоит помимо других программ, поставить
Антисептик 1 ,2,воспаление 1 и 2
Воспаление 1 и 2 очень хорошо работает при любых воспалениях, и не важно в какой части нашего организма они находятся.
Противопаразитарные программы, это не касается гельминтозов и лямблий, вы можете использовать даже 2-3 раза в день. Особенно, при остром воспалении, до стихания ярко выраженной агрессии или болевого синдрома.
Здесь же, необходимо помнить, что все антипаразитарные программы, которыми вы лечитесь с помощью приборов биорезонансной терапии, следует сочетать с детоксикационными программами, такими как:
1.Дренаж-36
2.Лимфа и Детокс-1час 6 мин
3.Элиминация токсинов-10мин
4.Регуляция КЩР кислотно-щелочного равновесия-5 мин
5.Детоксикация межклеточного матрикса-48мин
6.Очистка крови-16мин
7.Детокс грибки и плесень-58 мин
8.Паразиты детокс-50мин
9.Детоксикация-46 мин
Количество программ можно и уменьшить. Здесь вы сами регулируете их количество.
При проведении детоксикационной терапии следует пить побольше воды, лучше подкисленной, если позволяет желудок, малиновые отвары, воду с медом, шиповник и так далее. Это касается простудных заболеваний.
Что же касается хронических паразитарных воспалений, то здесь совсем другая тактика лечения и о ней, мы с вами поговорим в следующем посте, посвященном лечению от паразитов у человека.
На связи с вами был, Хороших Алексей.
Здоровья вам и да хранит вас ЖИЗНЬ!
Тактика лечения от паразитов у человека с помощью биорезонанса.ч.2
Начало формы
Конец формы
В первой части моего рассказа, посвященного тактике лечения паразитов у человека в организме, мы с вами говорили об общих аспектах проведения терапии, а также об острых состояниях проблемы.
В данном посте, мы с вами продолжим эту тему и поговорим о хронических заболеваниях, связанных с паразитарной флорой и о том, как грамотно провести лечение паразитов у человека с помощью приборов биорезонансной терапии, которые на данный момент являются наиболее эффективным средством борьбы с вредоносной флорой.
Главное, грамотно их применять на практике и тогда результат, не заставит вас ждать и вы не только справитесь с паразитами, но и решите многие другие проблемы вашего организма!
Итак, приступим:
Хронические заболевания достаточно опасны для человека, так как, не банально будет звучать, человек к ним привыкает.
Люди могут вставать с заложенными носами утром или вечером, быть в этом
состоянии долгое время, плюс , например, у человека непереносимость каких то
запахов или урогенитальные выделения, либо стул не очень комфортный.
И человек с этим живет, и терпит эти неудобства, считает это нормой и порою просто игнорирует это состояние, привыкая к нему и не считая, даже врачу, говорить о своем
дискомфорте и проблемах, доводит себя до того состояния, когда агрессивно
настроенные паразитозы, начинают создавать еще более
большие проблемы, доводя человека до больничной койки, и смертельных исходов.
А ведь все это можно было бы предотвратить! Подумайте пока, а я продолжу.
Хочется еще добавить, что локализация паразитозов в организме может быть где угодно, и не только
в кишечнике. Это может быть и печень, и мышечная масса, и головной мозг. Например,
хламидийная инфекция, очень любит
поражать суставы человека. Также как и
стрептококковая инфекция.
И очень жаль, что у нас в протокольной медицине, болезни тех же суставов пытаются лечить антибиотиками, которые убивают практически все на своем пути, и вредное и полезное, создавая впоследствии такие проблемы для здоровья человека, что каждый из нас задумается, что же было правильно и с чего лучше всего было начинать.
Биорезонансная терапия чем и хороша, что позволяет избирательно, в
зависимости, что является причиной тех или иных хронических воспалительных
заболеваний, убрать патологию, не нанося вред организму, не нарушая целостность
его и сохраняя все биохимические процессы в организме на должном уровне.
При лечении паразитов у человека, именно при хронических воспалительных
процессах, следует начинать с очистки организма. То есть провести его
детоксикацию и не только прибором биорезонансной терапии, но и вспомогательными
очистительными препаратами и БАДами, а также фитосборами.
И здесь, очень хорошо себя на протяжении многих лет, зарекомендовали себя
100%натуральные морские биогели, которые позволяют не только вычистить изнутри
сосуды, но и подавить различные инфекционные процессы в организме.
Из программ по очистке организма, советую вам почитать мой
пост на эту тему, чтобы определиться, что для вас лучше, так как там представлены
комплексы по очистке организма от ведущих врачей в области биорезонансной
терапии.
После очистки организма, следует приступить к уничтожению крупных
гельминтов.
Но здесь нужно помнить, что это по технологии так, но если у вас слишком
агрессивно ведут себя, например вирусы, то следует вначале обратить внимание на
них. Тоже касается и других паразитозов, тех же простейших, бактерий или
грибов.
Если же у вас вялотекущий процесс, то все по схеме.
Вначале очистка, потом убираем крупных гельминтов, потом более мелких.
Далее ,простейших, потом грибы и последнее вирусы.
Не стоит забывать и тот факт. что прежде, чем вы приступите к проведению лечения паразитов у человека или у самого себя, следует вначале сделать вегето-резонансное тестирование организма, проконсультироваться с практикующими врачами-специалистами по биорезонансной терапии.
Это очень важно для того, чтобы понять ,что является причинами ваших проблем и какую стратегию лечения выбрать по результатам тестирования.
Также хочется предупредить тех, кто использует и вегеторезонансное тестирование организма и лабораторные методы определения паразитозов.
ЧАСТО их результаты не совпадают и здесь есть весомые причины!
Например, лабораторными методами, вы практически никогда не определите, какие либо виды глистов у вас или у человека и метод на яйца- глист является самых недостоверным., так как он может вам показать только к том случае, если глист какой то отложил яйца. А если не отложил в тот момент,что тогда?
Причем, например, такие гельминты, как
трихинеллы, которые любят селиться в мышечной ткани и молочных железах, а также
в легких, вообще являются живородящими и их невозможно определить лабораторными
методами.
То же касается и простейших, и вирусов и грибов.
Банально, но у стационарных больниц, практически отсутствуют реактивы на те или иные паразитозы. И это настоящая проблема нашей ПРОТОКОЛЬНОЙ МЕДИЦИНЫ.А некоторые из паразитозов, например хламидия, очень суперски маскируется под другими паразитами и часто просто не выявляется, но при этом является причиной заболеваний сердечно-сосудистой системы, суставов , урогенитальных проблем и многих других заболеваний.
Плюс, что тоже является проблемой в больницах, это слабо-квалифицированные
кадры, и лаборантов в том числе, так как зарплаты маленькие и хорошие
специалисты вряд ли останутся в стационарных лабораториях и больницах.
Поэтому, а такие люди у меня встречались, если у вас не совпадают результаты по
каким-то позициям, все же советую прислушаться к результатам
вегето-резонансного тестирования организма.
Если вдруг у вас нет возможности пройти вегето-резонансное тестирование организма или сделать лабораторные исследование в хорошей клинике, то можете, во первых обратиться ко мне по скайпу(мой скайп hammer20102) и я вам помогу найти специалистов по проведению диагностики или можете, даже не зная что у вас конкретно, начать очистку и поэтапное удаление паразитозов, основываясь на базовых программах прибора биорезонансной терапии или советую вам почитать мой пост на эту тему
А в дальнейшем все таки найти способ пройти данное тестирование и я вам в этом могу помочь.
Если вы сами начинаете лечение, то проводите лечение поэтапно. Поэтапно, это
значит, начинайте, как я и писал выше с гельминтов, потом простейшие, бактерии,
грибы и вирусы.
Очень частой ошибкой людей, кто начинает
использовать приборы биорезонансной терапией, является то, что они начинают
мешать все в кучу .И гельминты и тут же простейшие, и тут-же грибы и вирусы.
Этого, КАТЕГОРИЧЕСКИ ДЕЛАТЬ НЕЛЬЗЯ!
Вы, не только не избавитесь от большинства паразитов, но и создадите в
организме, НАСТОЯЩУЮ КАШУ, которая будет сопровождаться сильной интоксикацией, рвотой,
тошнотой и массой других проявлений.
Насчет гельминтов, хотел бы вам сказать. что если вы не знаете, какие конкретно
у вас глисты, то ставьте общие программы по ним и при этом вы должны знать, что
гельминты бывают плоские и круглые. Плоские ,при этом делятся еще на ленточные
и сосальщиков. Здесь. я советую вам поставит следующие программы
Антигельминтный комплекс от Богонатовой Л.Н., врача из Москвы
1.Дренаж-36 мин
2.Лимфа и детокс-1 час 6 мин
3.Аскариды-12 мин
4.Энтеробиоз1-36 мин
5.Слабительный эффект-5 мин
6.Нематоды(глисты круглые)базовая-46 мин
7.Яйца глистов-8 мин
8.Паразиты детокс-50 мин
9.Кишечник-нарушение слизистой-5 мин
10.Круглые черви(комплексное)-1 час 34 мин
11. Анкилостома-10 мин
12.Филяриоз-8 мин
И помните. что если у вас нет того или иного паразита, то волна и частоты .губительные для конкретного вида паразита просто пройдут мимо, не нанося никакого АБСОЛЮТНО вреда вашему организму.
Этим, биорезонансная терапия, очень хороша!
Противогельминтные программы следует ставить раз в 2-3 дня и лучше не менее 10 сеансов. Получается месяц. При этом, следует пить много воды, не менее 2 литров, чтобы вывести продукты распада паразитов. В виде профилактики весной и осенью по 5 сеансов.
Не начинайте следующий этап борьбы с паразитами, не закончив предыдущий.
Между этапами делайте недельный перерыв.
Также хочу напомнить, что антигельминтные программы следует ставить днем. когда
вы можете проконтролировать ваше состояние и ни в коем случае, не ночью!
Ночью лучше поставить детоксикационные программы.
После проведения антигельминтной терапии, стоит обратить внимание на простейшие, а это лямблии, трихомонады, токсоплазма и другие.
Особенно, хочется обратить внимание на лямблии и токсоплазму.
Терапию на лямблии советую ставить также ,один раз в 2-3 дня, так как именно лямблии высокотоксичны и при своей гибели выделяют большое количество токсинов, а поэтому их не следует ставить в один комплекс с другими простейшими, так как остальной ряд простейших можно ставить каждый день и даже по два ,и три раза в день.
Если, например ,у ребенка сопли или он кашляет, помимо терапевтических
программ. советую поставить программу по лямблиям. Очень часто помогает, так
как более 80% детей, особенно те, кто посещает детские сады, заражены
лямблиозом.
Токсоплазма очень коварный паразит, поэтому обязательно, даже если у вас ее
никогда не выявляли. советую поставить при избавлении от паразитов.
Если же, вы провели вегето-резонансное тестирование, то вы должны помнить. что если у вас обнаружили хотя бы один вид простейшего, например уреаплазму, то обязательно стоит поставить и микоплазму и трихомонаду, и токсоплазму, так как они умело прячутся друг за другом .
1.Микоплазма базовая -1ч 2 мин
2.Уреаплазма-20 мин
3.Токсоплазма-4 мин
4.Трихомонада-32 мин
Также в этот комплекс можно добавить программу Простейшие, чтобы не
пропустить других видов простейших из этого класса.
Данный комплекс полезен любому. так как практически у 100% населения есть эти
паразитозы .А если и даже у вас нет, ничего
страшного. лучше пролечиться, чем
упустить что нибудь из виду, тем более, как я писал ранее ,если у вас нет того
или иного паразита, волна просто пройдет мимо, не вступив в резонанс с
проблемой.
Комплексы по простейшим советую ставить 2-3 недели, а лучше тоже месяц.
Если у вас, например какое гнойное воспаление и причиной явился
гемолитический стрептококк(бактерия), советую вам поставить и другие виды
стрептококков, такие как гноеродный. зеленящий, а также стафилококки.
Учитывайте ассоциативность бактерий, так как если вы поставили одно и не
поставили другое, то завтра может проявиться другой возбудитель, который
находится в симбиозе с уже имеющимся.
При проведении, если вы делаете это отдельно, антихламидийной терапию, советую вам проводить ее 15 дней в месяц яйца в течении 3 месяцев. Причем, учтите. что хламидия не живет без трихомонады и лучше их делать в комплексе.
После этого проводим антигрибковые программы, примерно 1-2 месяца, так как грибки очень сложно вывести и они самые живучие!
Если, не знаете, что ставить, то поставьте программы общие по грибкам, а это
Грибки и плесень-1час 34 мин
Кандида общая-1 час 50 мин
Детокс грибки-58 мин
И после завершающим этапом антивирусные программы, хотя стоит
напомнить,. что если вы поэтапно будете здесь действовать, что вирусы и сами
могут сбежать из вашего организма и вам даже не придется ставить программы по
вирусам!
Ну .а если не сбегут, то притихнут однозначно!
Не спешите с лечением паразитов у человека в организме, делайте все поэтапно и вы у вас будет хорошо!
Здесь я могу предложить антигерпесные программ и программы по вирусу Папиломмы, которые обнаруживаются также у практически 100% населения по результатам тестирования и которые очень частно являются причиной очень большого количества заболеваний, вплоть до онкологии и аутоимунных процессов в организме.
Противогерпесный комплекс от Богонатовой Л.Н.
Вирусы тоже ассоциируемые элементы и если у вас обнаружился, например герпес симплекс, то обязательно в комплекс стоит поставит и герпес зостер. Пренебрежение данным правилом может привести к активизации других разновидностей герпес, таких как цитомегаловирус, вирус эпштейна барра и других.
1 Герпес базовый 1 час. 14 мин.
2 Вирусы общие TR 1 52 мин.
3 Герпес зостер 24 мин.
4 Герпес симплекс 28 мин.
5 Герпес тип 1 1 час. 4 мин.
6 Дренаж 50 мин.
7 ЭКХО вирус 40 мин.
8 Энергия жизненная 10 мин.
9 Стабилизация иммунной системы 48 мин.
10 Стимуляция лизина 12 мин.
11 Цитомегаловирус 20 мин.
12 Вирус Эпштейна-Барра 46 мин.
13 Воспаление слизистых оболочек 14 мин.
14 Герпес водяные пузыри 8 мин.
15 Герпес генитальный 18 мин.
16 Герпес тип 2 comp 42 мин.
17 Герпес тип 2A secondary 46 мин.
18 Очистка крови 16 мин.
19 Элиминация токсинов 10 мин.
Общая длительность: 11час. 55мин.
Противопапиломный комплекс
1.Вирус папиломы1-30 мин
2.Вирус папиломы2-21мин
3.Вирус папилломы 3-56мин
4.Вирусы общие TR 1-52мин
5.Лимфа и детокс-1час 6 мин
Хотелось бы напомнить, что все программы антипаразитарного толка и лечения
паразитов у человека следует сочетать с детоксикационными программами и с
достаточным количеством воды, лучше всего структурированная, не менее 2 литров.
Также советую проводить регуляторные программы на поддержку основных
жизненноважных органов, так как любая антипаразитарная терапия сопровождается
нагрузкой на органы и системы человека.
Необходимо проводить регуляцию жкт,функций печени, желчеобразования, поджелудочной железу, нервной и эндокринной системы ,и так далее, в зависимости от показаний и симптоматики вашего состояния.
Использовать природные сорбенты и детоксиканты, такие как клетчатка,морские биогели, глины и другие натуральные вещества, а также фитосборы и прочие немедикаментозные средства(гомеопатия, антигомотоксичные препараты ,физиотерапия и прочее)
В общем, нужен комплексный подход в лечении паразитов у человека!
Советую вам также послушать конференцию Ольги Николаевны Соколовой.врача гинеколога-эндокринолога на тему Лечение паразитов у человека с помощью биорезонансной терапии.
Надеюсь, мой пост поможет вам по другому посмотреть на данную проблему и избежать ошибок многих при проведении антипаразитарной терапии.
Детоксикация организма и программы на выведение вредных токсинов от врачей!
Конец формы
Каждый буквально день мы с Вами сталкиваемся с токсинами .которые поступают в Наш организм и проблема детоксикации организма стоит остро перед теми. кто заботится о своем здоровье и понимает, что зашлакованность организма токсинами приводит к большому количеству заболеваний органов и систем.
Токсины, как и другие вредные соединения поступают в наш с Вами организм через кожу, легкие и кишечник. Причем их воздействие на организм, в основном, складывается из 4 моментов, это:
1.Воздействие физическое, к коим относятся травмы, воспаления органов и физические нагрузки
2.Токсины питательных веществ (консерванты, пестициды, гормоны, алкоголь, трансжирные кислоты)
3.Воздействие инфекционного характера (бактерии, грибки, вирусы, паразиты)
4.Воздействие химического характера (ксенобиотики и органические соединения)
На протяжении последнего столетия прогресс в промышленности, индустриализация и совершенствование технологий привели к выбросу в окружающую среду огромного количества токсических элементов, которые мы с Вами поглощаем в больших количествах. Токсическое воздействие на человека сегодня происходит со стороны вдыхаемого воздуха, зубных пломб, кремов для кожи, красителей, батареек, морских продуктов, овощей, водопроводной воды и пищевых добавок. Большая часть этих вредных элементов долго сохраняется в окружающей среде после выброса из первичного источника.
Токсическая зашлакованность организма приводит к развитию самых тяжелых заболеваний нервной, эндокринной, иммунной системы и других составляющих организма, так как наш с Вами организм -это как Мотор в автомобиле, нарушилось одно соединение и потихоньку начинаются сыпаться и другие, а иногда это происходит БЫСТРО И НЕОБРАТИМО, в зависимости, что нарушилось и какое значение оно имеет для организма! С хроническим действием токсических элементов связаны заболевания сердца, недостаточность почечной функции, респираторные заболевания, ослабление иммунной функции, желудочно-кишечная дисфункция и повышенный риск развития рака, болезни Паркинсона и Альцгеймера, а также масса других заболеваний.
Какие же признаки зашлаковки организма?
Какие существуют методы детоксикации организма?
Почему биорезонансная терапия и детоксикация организма этим методом являются прекрасным способом помочь ему избавиться от токсинов?
И как правильно подобрать программы для очистки организма от шлаков и токсинов?
Вопросов много и я постараюсь на все эти вопросы ответить.
Основными признаками интоксикации организма являются
- Хроническая усталость и постоянный недостаток энергии
- Ухудшение умственных способностей
- Усугубление различных симптомов при воздействии химикатов
- Побочные или необычные реакции на лекарства, травы, витамины и т.д.
- Побочные реакции на кофеин
- Физические заболевания при повышении степени стресса
- Непереносимость алкоголя и запахов химических веществ
- Мигрень
- Отеки и темные круги под глазами
- Выпадение волос
- Угревые высыпания на лице и теле,
- землистый цвет лица
- Плохая переносимость физических нагрузок
И если вы обнаружили, данные признаки у себя и они вас не покидают, значит стоит задуматься о своем здоровье и принять все меры для устранения данных симптомов. Этим вы поможете своему организму и избавитесь от более тяжелых последствий, хотя большинство людей по русски ,надеются на Авось, а потом хватаются за голову и начинают судорожно искать способы, как провести детоксикацию организма и очиститься от токсинов.
Давайте не допускать крайних мер и уже сейчас задумываться о своем здоровье!
Что же такое детоксикация организма?
Детоксикация организма — это метаболический процесс, который использует Ваш организм для превращения и удаления токсинов.
Программ по детоксикации организма очень много.
Это и химическая детоксикация организма, это и Спа-салоны, предлагающие различные спа-процедуры, дренирующие массажи, очистка разными травами, прием нутриентов- веществ, позволяющих повысить уровень обменных процессов и детоксикационную способность организма, использование структурированной воды. Русская баня тоже дает свой эффект! Любые физические нагрузки.
Липоевая кислота — универсальное средство, глицин. Витамины группы С, В, фолиевая кислота. Селимарин (молочный чертополох) — прекрасное средство для очищения печени, известное с древности и клинически одобрено на сегодняшний день. Корень солодки улучшает работу печени, надпочечников и иммунитет, обладает легким послабляющим эффектом. Можно употреблять в виде чая или настойки. Яблоки и виноград содержат волокна, очищающие кишечник. В яблоках ещё есть пектин, который также способствует очищению кишечника, а фитонутриенты винограда укрепляют иммунитет. Крестоцветные овощи редис, редька, цветная капуста и вообще все виды капусты. Например, отмечено, что ежедневный приём 200 грамм брокколи, улучшает состояние женского организма, так как участвует в коррекции эстрогенного Цинк, магний, медь, селен, сульфаты в больших количествах содержатся в луке и чесноке. Сера обладает способностью выводить тяжелые металлы. В пища должно содержать достаточное количество белка, так как белок — донор аминокислот, которые принимают активное участие в детоксикации. — Клюква оказывает бактерицидное действие на мочеполовую систему, содержит энзимы, очищающие кровь. — Употребление в пищу продуктов, обладающих антиоксидантными свойствами: — Артишоки обладают антиоксидантными свойствами, способствуют улучшению метаболизма, расщеплению жиров, положительно влияют на работу печени. — Лимоны содержат антиоксидантные, антисептические и очищающие компоненты, а так же витамин С, укрепляющий иммунитет.
Здесь сложно перечислить все. что приводит к очистке организма и предложений, а также способов очень много, но проблема заключается в том. что порою традиционные методы могут только частично почистить ваш организм от шлаков и токсинов, не добираясь внутрь самой клетки, где также могут накапливаться токсины, не очищая толком межклеточный матрикс. являющийся связующим звеном в сообщении между клетками и подачи внутрь клетки питательных веществ!
И здесь очень Важно перво наперво очистить желудочно-кишечный тракт, почистить печень и почки, являющие фильтрующими органами и вы уже увидите эффект от детоксикации организма и очистке его от шлаков и токсинов!
И ЗДЕСЬ ЛУЧШЕ,ЧЕМ БИОРЕЗОНАНСНАЯ ТЕРАПИЯ и придумать сложно, так как частоты. способствующие выведению токсинов из организма, проникают в любую часть организма без проблем в отличии от любых процедур, препаратов, настоек. отваров и так далее .
И при этом, именно биорезонансная терапия, и в частности приборы биорезонансной терапии, способны запустить механизм самоочистки организма, так как как известно, что наш с Вами организм это само восстанавливающая система и ей надо только помочь справиться с токсинами и запустить сам механизм очистки.
И с этим приборы биорезонансной терапии, типа Radiant ultimate прекрасно справляются!
Конечно в идеале лучше всего к любому действу подходить комплексно и использовать несколько методов очистки организма, но здесь уже каждый решает для себя сам. что ему ближе. Я же хочу Вам дать только самое лучшее!
Итак, я здесь, на страничках своего блога представляю программы для детоксикации организма. которые можно запрограмировать в прибор Universal-PRO, Дета, составленные врачом высшей категории, гинекологом -эндокринологом из г Мариуполь Украина Ольгой Николаевной Соколовой и с сегодняшнего дня, я открываю на своем блоге рубрику по комплексам программ для лечения тех или иных заболеваний и составленными практикующими врачами по биорезонансной терапии.
Попробуйте и вы почувствуете эффект от их применения, в чем я ни на мгновение не сомневаюсь. Здоровья Вам всем и всех благ! Если у кого-то будут дополнения к программам, пишите комментарии, публикуйте свои решения и мы вместе поможем большому количеству людей справиться с их проблемами!
Причем прелесть приборов биорезонансной терапии Universal-PRO в том. что помимо программ для детоксикации, вы можете избавиться от любых видов паразитов, бактерий, грибков и вирусов, которые вам мешают жить, а также сможете восстановить работу органов и систем, что тоже очень важно!

На этом месте находится картинка с частотами для структуризации воды Частоты в Гц 396; 528; 639; 741
Все больше и больше людей начинают обращать внимание на свое здоровье и вопрос, как структурировать воду в домашних условиях, волнует людей не одно десятилетие, так как мы на 70-80% состоим из воды и какая она у нас будет внутри, это важно.
Особенно это нужно тем, кто владеет информацией о том, какой же целебной силой обладает структурированная вода для нашего с Вами организма.
Дело в том, что вся вода, которая поступает в наши с вами клетки обязательно должна быть структурированной, так как, иначе, организм не сможет ее усвоить.
Но вы можете справедливо заметить, что вы просто пьете воду и она же усваивается организмом?
Да, усваивается, но для того, чтобы она усвоилась , организм превращает обычную воду в структурированную, тратя на это колоссальные силы и энергию, которую мог бы направить на борьбу с различными патогенными факторами или на благоустройство своей среды обитания.
В компании Вимцентр продаются специальные структуризаторы воды Шубина(релаксирующее воздействие) и Панова(активирует все обменные процессы) с помощью которых, вы можете,после обработки , уже сразу пить ту воду, которая будет моментально усваиваться вашими клетками.
Но если у вас нет структуризатора воды , но есть прибор биорезонансной терапии Радиант Ультимейт, то вы можете и сами быстро структурировать воду в домашних условиях.
Для этого вам необходимо лишь, использовать опыт ученых и специалистов по воде и биорезонансной терапии, который вы видите выше на картинке.Частоты сольфеджио с частотами и временем воздействия на воду.
Для структурирования воды нужно просто создать программу с частотой на приборе, которая в течении, всего нескольких минут, способна быстро, а самое главное, с огромной пользой для здоровья, превратить вашу обычную воду в лечебную и живую!
И не путайте структурирование воды с очисткой воды!! Это абсолютно разные вещи!!!
Вода обладает памятью и структурирование воды с помощью прибора биорезонасной терапии, есть путь к созданию правильной воды, которая будет нести благо и здоровье вашему организму!!!
А еще, как я писал ранее, информацию!!!!И какую информацию вы в нее заложите, такой эта вода и будет!
Советую также найти и посмотреть в интернете фильм «Великая тайна воды» и вам многое станет понятно!!!
Удивительное рядом и мы с вами есть часть вселенной!!!

Как правильно очистить организм?
Такой вопрос задают себе многие люди,которые понимают и заботятся о своем здоровье.
Ведь,не для кого не секрет,что большинство населения планеты заражено различными паразитами,вирусами,грибками и бактериями,которые угнетают наш организм и нарушают деятельность клеток и проводящий путей,что приводит к тяжелейщим заболеваниям всех систем и органов,так как они селятся везде,где есть клетка!
Хотя давно учеными доказано,что страшны даже не сами паразиты,а те токсины,что они выделяют в лимфатическую систему и межклеточный матрикс,который является проводящей системой питательных веществ в организм!
Представляю Вам уникальный прибор биорезонансной терапии Life Energy Universal ,который способен не только ответить на вопрос,как правильно очистить организм и избавить Вас от вирусов,бактерий и паразитов,но и привести все органы в нужный жизненный тонус!
А если еще добавитьLife Energy Endogen и помочь прибору с помощью уникальных биогелей из морских водорослей , то результат будет просто великолепный и каждый сможет ощутить всю прелесть жизни!
Предлагаю Вам послушать конференцию врача высшей категории С.Божевикову о том,как правильно очистить организм от шлаков,токсинов и других продуктов жизнедеятельности паразитов.
А также Вы можете посмотреть стенограмму ее выступления
Человеческий организм – это сложная система.
И подпитывается организм через четыре основных направления!
Это системы тонкого тела (психоэмоциональное состояние), дыхания, пищеварения и наследственности.
И соответственно воздействие токсинов идет именно на эти системы организма!
Для того, чтобы справиться с Токсинами тонкого тела
1)Научиться любить, как себя лично, так и окружающих, и даже полюбить тех, кто ,когда то причинил вам боль.
2)Не закрываться от людей и от общения, и не несите в себе обиды, горечи, ненависть, разочарования и все, что отравляет Ваш организм.
Токсины наследственной природы
Они идут от Вашей наследственности и передаются от матери к ребенку, поэтому необходимо следить за своим психоэмоциональным состоянием матерям, которые находятся в положении
Токсины дыхания
Индийцы каждый день промывают свой нос солевым раствором, тем самым очищая свой организм.
Токсины пищеварения.
Режим питания очень важен.
Надо соблюдать часы приема пищи и фазы активности тех или иных органов.
Программы для профилактики заболеваний
1 этап,Регуляция иммунной и барьерной функции кожи
Программы
а)Диспотические железы. Стимуляция фагоцитоза
б)Стимуляция образования фагоцитов.
в)Стимуляция фагоцитоза
На растущей луне-1 неделю
Можете дополнительно промывать нос солевым раствором и программа
г)Дыхательные пути. Контрольные частоты.Это для часто болеющих детей
д)Перельстатика и моторика для кишечника
2 этап ,Регуляция гормональной системы
а )Гипоталамус (контролирует температурную реакцию)
Если вы мерзнете, то это начальная стадия нарушения гормонального состояния.
в) Гипофиз, регулирует водно-солевой обмен и жировой обмен
Повышает физические возможности организма. Можно поднять такую тяжесть. которую невозможно сделать при обычном состоянии.
г) Желчный пузырь
д) Аппендикс
е) Яички и яичники
Использовать программы:
1.Эндокринные железы. Контрольные частоты
2.Регуляция гипоталамус, гипофиз, надпочечники(особенно рекомендуется при смерти близких, когда слишком сильное эмоциональное состояние и необходима регуляция)
- Половой баланс (хорошо зарекомендовала, если вы мерзнете, тем самым помогаем гормональной системе)
3 этап ,Нервная система
Ставим программу -Вегетативная нервная система
4 этап,Желчный пузырь
Если есть проблемы желчного пузыря ставим программы — Желчь. Регуляция
5 этап — Соединительная ткань
Самая большая фильтрационная система
Программа -Соединительная ткань. Контрольные частоты
Теория Рекевега
Первая часть его теории
Выведение через физиологические отверстия
Прямая кишка и кишечник, почки, потовые железы, слюновыделение, носоглотки и другие
Программы дренирования для кишечника
1.Очистка 1.2.4,5 Очистка 2 очень хороша для кишечника
2.Регуляция ЖКТ
3.Дисбактериоз
4.Если есть слизь-Энтероколит, сидром раздраженной кишки
Система печени
Программы для печени
1.Глубокая очистка
2.Гепатохолестицит
3.Регуляция ЖКТ
4.Воспаление печени
Дополнительно:1)3 перепелиных яйца, запиваете теплой мин. водой и грелку под правый бок
2)2-3 ложки подсолнечного масла.2-3 дольки лимона съедаете, ложитесь на правый бок, грелку под правый бок, на ночь программа-Глубокая очистка
Утром Вас потянет в туалет, это нормально
Система почек
Программы для почек
1.Почки
2.Почки.Контрольные частоты 1,2 - Очистка 4
Область поясницы должна находиться в тепле, когда дренируете
Больше пить воды, особенно структурированной, полтора –два литра в сутки
Солевые ванны на убывающей луне
Система лимфы
Очень хорошо ходить в баню. Если можете, хотя бы раз в неделю
Программы для лимфы
1.Лимфа и детокс
2.Лимфа. Контрольные частоты 1.2.
3.Дренаж .50
Система межклеточного матрикса
Программы
1.Межклеточный матрикс
2.Очистка плазмы — очистка крови
Уберите из рациона питания гастрономический мусор: копчености, солености, жареное, консервы
Вторая часть теории(Это когда есть воспаление)
Программы
1.Воспаление 1,2
2.Воспаление общее
3.Дренаж
Если насморк, то это кишечник. И соответственно воспаление1,2 и программы по кишечнику.
Если кашель, это воспаление.. Программа Воспаление
Третья часть теории(нарушение работы клетки)
Это такие болезни,как Ожирение, похудение, липомы, фибромы, гемморой, полипы и другие.
Программы
1.Программы конкретно по заболеванию
2.Воспаление 1.2
3.Профилактика 2(комплекс из базовых программ)
4.Дренаж.
4 часть теории(Стадия насыщения)
Токсины воздействуют уже на клетку
Это такие заболевания,как Вегето сосудистая дистония, остеохондроз. синдром хронической усталости, мигрени, ранние климаксы и другие,
Очень хорош прибор Endogen
1.Программы из Эндогена П0,П1,П2,П3,П4,П5
2.Из Universal очистка межклеточного матрикса, очистка плазмы-очистка крови, печень при химической нагрузке, лимфа и детокс,дренаж-3000сек-этот комплекс должен стоять в автомате
5 часть теории(Стадия регенерации)
Это такие заболевания, как :Циррозы, атрофия зрительного нерва, атрофические риниты, порезы и другие.
Программы
1)одноименные программы по заболеванию
Организм уже очень слаб при этой фазе заболеваний и дренажные системы кожи, лимфы и других органов уже не срабатывают.
Системы защиты организма тоже не работают.
В этом случае
Надо уже помогать тому органу, который поврежден
Если это печень,то программы
А) печень,
Б) гепато холецистит
В) воспаление печени
Печень ночной орган и программы нужно выставлять ночью на автомате, часы работы печени с 1до 3 часов В течении 2 недель
Потом биорезонансное обследование и уже выявить ,что еще конкретно мешает нашему органу жить: вирусы, бактерии, грибки, простейшие и уже работать на эти факторы
При онкологии
1 этап(помочь клеткам работать на клеточном уровне)
Ставить в комплексе,программы
а)клеточные частоты
б)обмен клеток
в)обновление клеток
г)управление лимфосистемой1,2
д)программа по конкретной опухоли
Обязательно пить воду, а лучше на 3-4 дня вообще отказаться от пищи . Каждые полчаса по глотку воды. Проводить в течении недели
2 этап(Диагностика)
Потом проводите диагностику (вегето резонансное тестирование),определяете наличие паразитов, вирусов, бактерий и начинаете их лечить, включая помимо программ по паразитам и программы по дренажу
А также программы из комплекса «Профилактика — 2»
Чтобы восстановить работу жизненно важных органов.
Обязательно нужно иметь карту защиту Life Protect, чтобы избавиться от влияния геопатогенных зон.
Это очень важно!
Только комплексный подход к решению проблемы, может помочь Вам справиться с заболеванием!
