Strange Rubric?

[Shannon Nelson]

Can anyone explain this rubric?

GENERALITIES; METAMORPHOSIS of tissue, to prevent, during disease or too
long mental or physical exertion: bapt.

Thanks,
Shannon

Dear Shannon
I take this to mean that in health metamorphosis of tissue occurs all the
time, that is, the tissue is going through processes of change,
regenerating. However, when using this term with regard to a pathological
process, the change is one of degeneration rather than regeneration. This
can occur due to disease, from overdoing it mentally, or overdoing it
physically. The two latter, due to exhaustion of the reserves needed to
regenerate maybe?

Regards

Robyn

Hi Shannon,

The authority for that rubric is E.M. Hale "Special Symptomatology of the
New Remedies"

My first guess was that it might be related to "bedridden" complications,
bedsores & wasting.
On checking Hale, that is probably part of it.

"Lying in one position for a few moments, or upon the back, caused the
sacral region to become exceedingly painful, as though I had lain on a hard
floor all night, and induced the conviction that a short continuance of the
same position would cause bedsore; when turning on the other side, the same
sensation was produced on the hips. (Dr. J. S. Douglas.)
It prevents too rapid metamorphosis of tissues during illnesses, or from too
long sustained mental and physical exertions."

Bapt. has lots of fever symptoms, typhus is mentioned repeatedly.

It could well also refer to what is observed in this keynote (especially in
fevers)
"Great prostration, with disposition to decomposition of fluids; ulceration
of mucous membranes"

I guess you could take that into mental allegory territory too, if you like.
(so long as it doesn't come out want of self-confidence, etc ;-^)

thanks. Radar has this rubric in it which seems similar. it has 64 rx but not bapt.
what do other people think?

GENERALS - METASTASIS (= change in disease process)

Doesn't this have to do with the delusions that Baptisia has - delusion body
is scattered about the bed and tossed around trying to get the pieces
together; also delusion divided into two parts and delusion of being double
and delusion that legs are talking to each other.

Regards, Joy

This is a quote from Hale's Special Symptomology of New Remedies (found
in Encyclopedia Homeopathica):
"It prevents too rapid metamorphosis of tissues during illnesses, or
from too long sustained mental and physical exertions."

I don’t think Metamorphosis here is particularly related to Metastasis
which is
the migration of cancer in the body.

So you would understand "metamorphosis" to be, e.g. the bedsores example, or
(trying to think of other possibilities) muscle wasting, bowel changes...
Can't think what else...
