Hennie, Dr. Roz just posted this explanation a few minutes ago - did you read this one? "Actually, Oscillicoccinum is both a Nosode and a Sarcode: made from the liver and heart of a duck; those organs contained an "oscillating germ" (who knows what it was, bacteria, virus, treponema, ...

Hi Leilanae and All, 1. I am still surprised to have found out that Oscillococcinum is a nosode, and am grateful that Dr. Roz explained this. There is no explanation on the packaging that the remedy is a nosode, other than the actual name of the source remedy, Anas Barbariae 200CK. I just looked up ...

Very interesting article, Hennie, thanks. There had been a liposomal form of Vit C supplement that was getting a lot of attention a few years back as being more able to be absorbed (and not excreted in the urine). I found this article on the Oregon State University (Linus Pauling institute) website ...

Thanks very much, Ellen. And some feedback for you after the fact, that may indicate that my case would indeed have been a good match for Gels after all. A good match on the effect on motor pathways was significant, meaning that I had unusual stiffness in the back of the neck so that there was pain ...

Hi Leilanae,

Interesting thought, the Influenzium remedy that I dosed was from 2014, so could have been a same and not a similar.
Thanks for your reply. Deb
Maybe the influenzium 9C was "same" rather than similar???
Atb,
Leilanae

Thank you, Jean. Hopefully Dr. Roz or someone here will be able to post a reply to your question. Deb Is it true one does not take the virus nosode when suffering from the virus ? Cough within three words of sitting upright (7): 3Nat-c., 2euphr., 2nat-m., acon., ant-t., bry., chin. All above except ...

Dr. Roz, I understand what you are explaining and that makes sense because the increase in symptoms was significant. So, the real error is that the Oscillococcinum was not a Simillium, but a prophylactic nosode, (which I did not know about that remedy). I see then that this fueled symptoms which see...

Dr. Roz, Novice type errors :) When flu symptoms (pounding headache, low grade fever, body aches) first started, I had a three doses of Oscillococcinum (200c) from last year on hand and took those which provided moderate relief. When I ran out, I remembered that I had a tube of Influenzium 9c on han...

Ok, makes sense. Thanks, Dr. Roz. I was the person with the flu in our household and not surprisingly having fever and pounding headache at the time, it was not conducive to good decision making. I did learn a very powerful lesson (yet once again) about not changing remedies too soon as I caused mys...

Last week our household had two members with upper respiratory illness (one flu, the other person a 'cold' only and did not develop flu symptoms). I reviewed Herscu's remedy recommendations and while Gels seemed to be a good match, I did rule it out because I kept coming across the rubric that Gels ...
