Adrenalinum
Oct. 26th,1922. I gave a woman of 40 who was without symptoms, but whom I thought to be a sensitive, a dose of Erharts Adrenalin 1000th. The following symptoms ensued:
Oct. 27th. Oppressed respiration while physically active; "the heart pumps hard".
Pain in the right sciatic darting down to the knee.
Oct. 28-29th. Urine scanty, highly colored, especially the night secretion. The organ disappeared if not heeded, and the bladder emptied later by voluntary action.
Oct. 30th. Sore aching inside, as if in the kidneys, extending to the nates; this entire area tender, worse in the lumbar region of the back.
Muscles above the scapular sore.
Breasts feel heavy; are shaggy and sloppy (firm and well preserved before).
Oct. 31st to Nov. 3rd Aching and soreness in the back more intense, centering over the sacral region on the left side.
Slight nausea.
Tired when walking out (usually better); shins lame and sore while walking a short walk seems light a long and weary one.
Tenderness under the nails.
Flushed face without heat began at 4-5 p.m. daily, continuing about an hour each time.
Dull pain in the left ovary extending backward to the sacral region and down the sciatic nerve.
Albuminous leucorrhoea appeared and disappeared with the pain in the ovary.
Nov. 3rd. All symptoms gone. Had lost six pounds weight. WATERBURY, CONN.

Description
Adrenalinum
[adrenalin (sarcode)]
Description
- Extract of super-renal bodies. Its chemical formula is C3H3A2O3 and it forms shining prismatic crystals; which melt at a temperature of 207 c.: it is most soluble in warm water. It has a bitter taste, which leaves a sensation of numbness of the tip of the tongue. In dilute acids it possesses a marked affinity for oxygen, and when exposed to the air it changes into oxyadrenalin which is poisonous, though not possessing the properties of Adrenalin. It is to this chemical change that constantly occurs in the tissues that the evanescent effect of the drug is due.
- A number of cases of Addison's disease have been cured, and others arrested in their course, by Adrenalin. The most of these cases have occurred in the practice of other schools, and with large doses of the crude drug.
- Very few have been reported in the homoeopathic school, in fact, Raue says he has been unable to find an authenticated case of this disease cured, in our literature. As yet we have but one proving, made in 1904 by students of the New York Homoeopathic College, under the direction of Dr.V. L. Getman and the following provers: M. W. Macduffie, W. G. LaField, G. H. Clapp, J. B. G. Custis, Jr., G. C. Birdsall, and R. C. Miller. The day-books of provers are omitted.

Re: Adrenaline
Thank you so much for this . There is a lot of my SVT patient's symptoms here e.g. the nausea, the fact that it causes HBP as my patient has LBP, the anaemia and the rapid and irregular pulse rate. I think I might just get some in for her!!! Something has got to work for her as the allopaths are getting nowhere and every drug they try her with makes her feel terrible and naturally she stops taking them. I think the allopaths haven;t a clue and are trying just anything!! At the moment I am looking for something natural (I only know liquorice and Crateagus) to boost her Blood Pressure up. We have got juicing green veggies and taking Ferrum Phos tissue salt and taking Floradix to try to get the iron levels up which is now what the allopaths think is the cause of the SVT with the nausea.

Re: Adrenaline
Hi Rochelle,
(What's SVT?)
I don't think adrenalin can cause low blood pressure, which would make
this a treatment by opposites rather than similars--at least in that
aspect.
From a non-homeopathic point of view, low blood pressure is (I think
usually) caused by adrenal insufficiency, and a variety of things ought
to be able to help, e.g. licorice (quickest immediate effect, but seems
IME palliative rather than healing), glandular extracts (adrenal
together with related glands), B-complex (again, quick effect but not
so deeply healing *and* has to be an appropriate balance of Bs),
Eleuthro (aka Siberian ginseng; and maybe true ginsengs if appropriate)
and of course "the indicated remedy".
But--is this a case you posted about? What thread?

Re: Adrenaline
SVT = Supra Ventricular Tachycardia and yes I have written about this case various times under the subject Case of SVT and more recently Digitalis.
Thanks for the Siberian Ginseng which is another to add to my list to give her tomorrow which I didn't already know about.

Dear Soroush,
Yes - she has been on a healthy diet for years. All my patients are told about Aspartame!! I know she doesn't drink coffee but I will check about cola. I'm sure she doesn't drink it though.
