Anyone know anything about the remedy GLUCOSUM? I can't seem to find
anything about it on the web. Is it glucose? Glucosamine? Affinities?
Thanks!

Re: glucosum
Hi
It seems that Glucosum is Glucose syrup -- a common pharmaceutical excipient
However, found this from Felter
Can't find anything homoeopathic - maybe someone else can

GLUCOSUM.
Other tomes: BPC
Glucose, Liquid Glucose, Syrupy Glucose.
A syrupy liquid, composed chiefly of dextrose (dextro-glucose) and dextrin.
It is obtained by the incomplete hydrolysis of starch.
Description.—An odorless or nearly odorless, sweet, syrupy liquid, of a
little or no color. It is sparingly dissolved by alcohol, but water
dissolves it freely, the aqueous solution being neutral or slightly acid to
litmus paper. Dose, 2 to 6 fluidounces of 6 to 30 per cent solutions of
glucose.
Specific Indications.—Shock; acidosis.
Action and Therapy.—Glucose is an easily digested nutrient, fermentable, and
comparing in food value closely to sugar. Diuretic properties have been
ascribed to it, and it is said to protect against fatty degeneration
produced by the administration of general anesthetics. Glucose, in 6 to 10
per cent solutions, has proved serviceable, given by enteroclysis, in
dropsical effusions, provided the kidneys are not badly damaged, and in
uremic eclampsias, and other affections with faulty elimination of urine.
Intravenously administered, in solutions of 10 to 30 per cent, it has been
very successful in surgical shock. One of its most important fields of
usefulness is in infant feeding (2 to 3 fluidounces of 6 per cent solution
per rectum), and in the same strength solution (6 ounces) intraperitoneally
to prevent acidosis in malnourished infants. Acetone quickly disappears
under such use of it.
One evening an Old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that was going
on inside him. He said,"My son, it is between 2 wolves. One is evil: Anger,
envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,
resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other
is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith..." The grandson thought
about it for a minute then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed".
