I am interested in learning more about the bowel nosodes. Can someone direct me to a good book or information, maybe on the internet, that I can read? Thanks

Dear Sharon, would you like me to re-post my write up of the bowel nosodes

For those of you who are interested in the bowel nosodes I offer the
following:-

They are prepared from cultures of non-lactose fermenting flora of the
intestinal tract. First isolated in 1880 by a bacteriologist - Eberth. Bach
did much work on them from a homeopathic point of view. Started to prepare
vaccines from dead cultures and treating patients with injections. In 1919
he joined the London Homeopathic Hospital as a bacteriologist and started
potentising bacteria a year later. I think some provings were carried out in
1929 and then he concentrated on the Flower Rx. In 1928 Elisabeth and John
Patterson did much work on the nosodes and did a protracted programme of
provings and clinical trials.

Morgan (pure) = Patterson; Morgan Gaertner = Patterson; Gaertner = Bach;
Proteus = Bach; Dysentry Compound = Bach; Sycotic Compound = Patterson;
Mutabile = Bach; Faecalis = Bach; Baccilus No. 7 and 10 = Patterson.

These are deep acting remedies from the highest mental to the lowest
physical. They can be used at any time IF THE PICTURE FITS.

Where there is a group of remedies indicated but no clear picture of any -
if the group of remedies is related to a bowel nosode than that nosode can
be given to help clarify the picture. Can also be given when the indicated
remedy fails - they may unblock.

Bowel nosodes can take up to 3 months before they take full effect. After
4-6 weeks the picture should start to get clearer. It is generally thought
that you do not prescribe another bowel nosode or repeat within 3 months.
They can be prescribed sometimes specifically for antibiotic poisoning
(Gaertner + Morgan), skin drugs will need Morgan, digestive drugs will need
Proteus.

They are not often used under 30c although Patterson used 6. It is
considered that 30 and 200 are the best potencies to use. In children it is
best not to go above 30, unless you have a good reason to, on the first
prescription.

There is a wonderful little book called A Treatise On Bowel Nosodes, by Dr
V. R. Agrawal (1981) - it might still be available especially from Indian
book publishers.
