Bulletin No. 6
The symptom-coverer verus the homoeopathic physician.
The new-comer (and most homoeopaths are new-comer even after several years of
practice) wrongly thinks that homoeopathy is based on symptoms. He does not
know that it is based on uncommon symptoms and, therefore, they remain as
symptom-coverers. When he fails he then starts thinking of ‘constitution’
‘nosodes’ ‘high potency’. This is because all homoeopaths think that by
indulging in these terminologies he would become a senior practitioner.
The following case would illustrate what we mean by ‘symptom-coverer’ and
‘homoeopathic physician.’
A patient came in for chronic headache, dandruff etc. that he was having for
several years. The ignorant and innocent earlier homoeopaths who treated this
patient used their so-called softwares by feeding in the symptoms ‘headache’
‘dandruff’ etc. and tried various remedies, all in vain. Careful inquiry into
the health of the patient revealed that he was having lienteric stools and in
childhood he was having milk-intolerance etc. The hasty and half-learnt
homoeopath immediately would run to the conclusion that he must take these two
symptoms ‘milk aggravation’ and ‘lienteric stool’ etc.
When these two symptoms are taken together we must keep the word
nutritionaldisorder in mind. Homoeopathic selection of remedy is not mechanical
but it is artistic. Alomost all homoeopaths all over the world are doing
mechanical work.
Intolerance of milk and lienteric stool are ‘common’ symptom of
nutritionaldisorder and the word ‘nutrition’ must be pressed into service. For
this, the following REPERTORY OF NUTRITIONRELATED SYMPTOMS AND THEIR REMEDIES
would be of help to the practitioner.
----------------------------

Calc-phos. - malnutritionand defective cell growth.
China-sul. - debility of ganglionic nutritive fibres.
Cina. - great emaciation from impaired nutrition.
Crotalus-hor. - very rapid and direct depressing influence on sensorium and
medulla oblongata, deranging both circulation and nutrition; after death, in
subacute and chronic cases, the cerebrum, cerebellum and medulla are found in a
state of engorgement, with dark, fluid, degraded blood, and apparently
threatened with softening.
Ferrum-met. - a cachectic state from faulty nutritionand assimilation.
Hippozaenin. - extrusion of contents overbalances supply of nutrition.
Lac-def. - perverted and deficient nutrition.
Lac-def. - diseases with faulty nutrition, in consequence of obscure subacute
inflammation of stomach or intestines, followed by affections of the nervous
centres.
Mag-phos. - nutritionand function remedy for the nerve
Oleum-jec. - weakness, emaciation and anemia; defective nutrition, especially in
children.
Oleum-jec. - rheumatism, produced by protracted residence in damp and cold
localities; affection confined to joints; gradual exhaustion of strength and
impairment of nutrition.
Pulsatilla - chlorosis; great weakness and sluggishness in circulation,
manifesting itself in constant chilliness, coldness and paleness of face and
skin, with hot flushes and transitory redness of cheeks; soft, irregular pulse
and palpitation; oppression of chest and shortness of breath; disinclination to
move; sad, tearful; appetite generally absent, no thirst; whole digestion
disturbed and consequently the assimilation of nutriments for the blood does not
take place properly; anemia, dizziness, especially when rising, amenorrhoea, or
scanty, slimy menses, which appear too late; in open air; disposition to
intermittents; melancholia, hysteria, heart and kidney diseases; discharge from
ears.
Zincum Met. - weak digestion, depressed function of nutrition, with cerebral
affections; constipation, with affections of liver or flatulent colic; gastric
troubles during pregnancy.
Abies-can - there are peculiar cravings and chilly sensations that are very
characteristic; especially for women with uterine displacement, probably due to
defective nutritionwith debility.
Alfalfa - from its action on the sympathetic, alfalfa favorably influences
nutrition, evidenced in "toning up" the appetite and digestion resulting in
greatly improved mental and physical vigor, with gain in weight.
Alfalfa - disorders characterized by malnutritionare mainly within its
therapeutic range, for example, neurasthenia, splanchnic blues, nervousness,
insomnia, nervous indigestion, etc.
Alnus - it stimulates nutrition, and thus acts favorably upon strumous
disorders, enlarged glands, etc.
Avena sativa nervous exhaustion, sexual debility, and the morphine habit call
for this remedy in rather material dosage. - has a selective action on brain and
nervous system, favorably influencing their nutritive function.
Berberis aqui - hepatic torpor, lassitude and other evidences of incomplete
metamorphosis; stimulates all glands and improves nutrition.
Calc-carb. - its chief action is centered in the vegetative sphere, impaired
nutritionbeing the keynote of its action, the glands, skin, and bones, being
instrumental in the changes wrought.
Calc-fl. - a powerful tissue remedy for hard, stony glands, varicose and
enlarged veins, and malnutritionof bones.
Crotalus-horridus - old age nutritionaltroubles.
Ichthyolum - chronic hives. tuberculosis, aids nutrition.
Lac-d - a remedy for diseases with faulty nutrition; sick headaches, with
profuse flow of urine during pain.
Lecithinum - lecithin has a favorable influence upon the nutritive condition and
especially upon the blood hence its use in anaemia and convalescence,
neurasthenia and insomnia.
Natrum mur - the prolonged taking of excessive salt causes profound nutritive
changes to take place in the system, and there arise not only the symptoms of
salt retention as evidenced by dropsies and oedemas, but also an alteration in
the blood causing a condition of anaemia and leucocytosis.
Oleum jecoris aselli - internally, a nutrient and a hepatic and pancreatic
remedy. (burnett.)
Sil - imperfect assimilation and consequent defective nutrition.
Thyroidin - thyroid exercises a general regulating influence over the mechanism
of the organs of nutritiongrowth and development.

CHECKED DISCHARGES – SUPPRESSION OF SECRETIONS
The above symptom would be of immense help, more particularly in chronic diseases as well as grave acute diseases.
Suppression of haemorrhage or habitual depletions make the disease travel from less important organs to more important organs. This is the direction of disease. Hence most valuable. If found in a case you cannot afford to ignore them. You may straightaway take this.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Here we must make a mention of `menopause.'
If the complaints of a female patient starts during the age 42-47 and she also continues to get her monthly periods you may think of the rubric MENOPAUSE in the chapter FEMALE SEXUAL SYSTEM in Kent's Repertory. But upon inquiry you find that her complaints started around 42-47 and a few months after complete cessation of monthly menses you should not think of MENOPAUSE but consider the following on page 1006 of Lilienthal:
(Suppression of secretions)-suppression of haemorrhage or abandoning habitual depletions: 1, acon., bell., chin., fer., nux v., puls., sulph.; 2, arn., aur., bry., calc., carb. v., graph., hyosc., lyc., natr. m., nitr. ac., phos., ran., rhus, seneg., sep., sil., spong., stram.
If a patient tells that his complaints started some time after his bleeding fissure in anus or piles was cured, in such cases too you must take the above rubric.
When bleeding is fond in a patient, whether haemorrhoidal bleeding or epistaxis or gums bleeding, this has top-0most value among generals and you must take this rubric first. See Kent's REPERTORY—Generalities—Haemorrhage

[ means amelioration or decrease.]
Al most all homoeopaths would work out as under:
Kent's Repertory—HEAD, pain, morning:
HEAD, pain, eating ameliorates:
But this is not the correct way.
Morning by eating etc. Kent calls special aggravation.
The long list of remedies given under HEAD, pain. You must take this alone. The first list under any rubric is called generals.
Case : A lady comes in and says, "Doctor, I have a hell of complaints. But I don't know how to describe them."
You need not get puzzled. This is TORPOR of mind or CONFUSION. But in these cases as well as unconscious patients you may feel the pulse of the patient and work out with remedies given against various rubrics under PULSE in the chapter GENERALTIES in Kent's Repertory.
