A few days ago I had a call from a patient about her cat, a good eater (raw diet) who'd lost interest in food over a period of ten days, then abruptly stopped eating entirely. She reported that the cat was hiding out, his eyes had started to glaze over, and his breathing was shallow and rapid. It sounded as if the animal was dying.
She feared that the cat might have been poisoned (no reason for this deduction) and gave him a couple of doses of Okoubaka. The next day he was in much better shape, even eating a bit, though still not back to his old self. She had called to see if I'd be available in case he relapsed, which does not appear to have happened.
I thought Okoubaka a relatively obscure remedy usually used for gluten intolerance. But this member of the Sandalwood family has other interesting uses:
"The dried bark is used medicinally. Okoubaka is used in the prevention and treatment of poisoning. In studies, okoubaka has shown the ability to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms against poisonings. Effectiveness has been seen with food-poisoning, pesticide poisoning, and many self-poisoning (auto toxic) diseases. An allergy inhibits the ability of the body's defense mechanism, or the immune system; Okoubaka helps the body regain control and normalizes the immune system to fight off other potential aggressors.
Derived from the bark of a West African tree, OKOUBAKA drops (2x) treat acute gastrointestinal tract infections, especially those accompanied by diarrhea caused by contaminated food. It also stimulates the excretion of mycotic toxins and speeds detoxification of the intestines and other organs. OKOUBAKA drops help patients deal with chronic infestations of Candida albicans and Mucor racemosus, both of which can rapidly multiply and cause acute infections."
In addition to food poisoning, another promising use is in treating side effects of chemo.
Peace,
Dale

Re: Okoubaka
Just been into my hard drive to find the file called Okoubaka as I had the proving/notes from a lecture and was going to post it but the file is blank, nothing in it!!! So if anyone has anything to put into my now empty file (I might have posted this in the past – Shannon?) please share. Wasn’t it an African magic man remedy? Does it have another name I might have saved it under?

Re: Okoubaka
I've used it very successfully in the case of poisoning of a dog several years ago. I've also used it more recently when a dog was thought to be exposed to toxins and began to show neurologic symptoms – totally well 10 minutes after one dry dose. Seems to be a brilliant first aid remedy in anyone's modern kit.

Re: Okoubaka
Rochelle, thanks for the reminder on this!
I do have some more, but my computer is kind of gagging right now, so I can't get a good sense of whether it's all duplication. But later I'll close some windows so that I can open some more, and see if I have anything that seems to add.
I remembering being fascinated by this when it came up in the past.

Okoubaka aubrevillei Pelleg:
A tree growing in West-Africa. In former times only medicine-men had access
to this tree. When one was invited by another tribe to a festivity with
plenty of meals, one took Okoubaka to avoid being poisened.
In Germany often used in lower X-potencies. Recommended during voyages to
tropical regions, to avoid gastro-intestinal disturbances.

alimentary intoxications; intoxications from insecticides; toxic states
after infections; in tropical diseases;
Said also to be useful after symptoms of suppression after antibiotics.

insecticides.
Troubles of intoxication following different infections.
Nicotine intoxication, with gastric uneasiness.

Okoubaka
I have used this remedy several times in cases for the side-effects of chemotherapy.
Having treated a number of cases of cancer who have also undergone allopathic treatment, I `played with MacRep' to research possible remedies for the side-effects of allopathic treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, to use as intercurrent remedies.
In the process I was intrigued by Okoubaka, being such a small remedy, and yet being graded in the Complete Repertory as a 3 in the rubric `Generalities, Intoxication, after'.
One of the major side-effects of chemotherapy which gives discomfort to the patient (besides hair loss, low blood cell counts, etc.), is nausea.
There was a case I had of nausea from chemotherapy that appeared to present the symptoms of Tabacum yet did not really fit the proving symptoms. I prescribed Okoubaka by analogy based on the rubrics:
Generalities; Tobacco; agg. and Generalities; Tobacco; nicotinism. I saw this as Okoubaka having a relationship to Tabacum, and saw the poisoning effects of chemotherapy in the rubric Generalities; Intoxication, after.
The following is a composite case for the nausea from chemotherapy which I put together from cured symptoms from several cases.
Nausea
Worse: smell of food - especially oil, standing
Better: ice cream, open air, lying, mental exertion
Occasional stomach cramps them shooting pain down to bowel and anus causing contractions of anus
When the nausea was bad there was diarrhea
Headache - sickly headache, feeling woozy, vacant, not there feeling
Like a permanent ache - forehead and vertex
Hot head and face
Headache - Worse: heat, smell of food, mental exertion
- Better: open air, drinking cold water

Okoubaka will treat gastrointestinal tract infections, especially those accompanied by diarrhea caused by contaminated food.
It also stimulates the excretion of mycotic toxins and speeds detoxification of the intestines and other organs.
It will help patients deal with chronic infestations of Candida albicans and Mucor racemosus, both of which can rapidly multiply and cause acute infections.
History
Okoubaka is a medicinal plant, used as a fetish by medicine men in West Africa. These healers prepare a powder from the tree's bark which is used against all kinds of poisoning. Many a tribal chief's taster probably owes his life to this bark. Parts of the plant are also used symbolically to ward off evil spirits. For this reason the tree is considered invaluable and is associated with the most stringent of taboos; its use is strictly reserved for local magicians and medicine men.
There is an interesting story behind how this medicinal plant came to be used in European medicine. Several years ago, a native of West Africa made his doctor, a certain Magdalena Kunst of Frankfurt, a present of a small amount of crushed bark, noting that, in his own country it is customary to take some of this powder following a meal - particularly if one not is entirely certain of the host's friendship - for this powder would immediately make any poison ineffective.
Dr. Kunst, a Homeopath, immediately set to work to create a Homeopathic dilution of the precious powder which she used effectively on various types of food poisoning. Following her experiment, Dr. Kunst asked Dr. Willmar Schwabe to look out for this extraordinary plant during his next expedition to Africa. At first it proved exceptionally difficult to track down this bark, but nowadays it is much easier to come by, in fact, the fear is that this rare tree could well become an endangered species as a result of uncontrolled bark extraction.
Botanical characteristics
Okoubaka aubrevillei is a jungle tree which grows to a height to up to 40 metres; its trunk can be up to three metres in circumference. The tree is huge at its crown and bushy in stature, its branches drooping. The leaves are elongated and egg-shaped, being about 15 cm long and 10 cm wide. The tree's small, greenish flowers are arranged on spines of around 15 cm in length on older branches.
The flowers turn into hard, yellow-coloured fruits. Like other members of the same family, this tree is semi-parasitic. This may explain why no other trees appear to grow in proximity to this tree. It also provides an explanation as to why, among other things, the locals believe the tree to possess magical powers. In 1944, the tree was mistakenly categorised as being a member of the Octoknemataceae family and it was not until 1957 that the tree was correctly categorised as a member of the Santalaceae family. However, the earlier mistake crops up in literature again and again - even in more recent publication.
Habitat
The Okoubaka tree grows in the tropical rain forest of West Africa, particularly in Ghana, Nigeria and on the Ivory Coast. It is also used in forestry.
Preparation
Dried bark from the branches of the Okoubaka tree are pulverised, macerated in alcohol and then potentized to the desired dilution .
-----------------------
Okoubaka aubrevillei Pelleg
The following is a quote from YOUR HEALTHY CAT, Homeopathic Medicines for Common Feline Ailments, a book written by H.G. Wolff, DVM.
This comes from a chapter on Poisoning and refers to treatment of suspected poisoning when one is unsure of the source of the poison.
"In case of suspected poisoning, Okoubaka 2 or 3 work well as antidotes..............."
"Because most poisons work quickly and you seldom know for sure what kinds of harmful substances they contain, you should give Okoubaka 2 or 3 every fifteen minutes until improvement is noticeable, then less frequently until you have reached a veterinarian's office.
This African bark is worth its weight in gold if you need to neutralize poisons of any sort ingested with food. You should keep a supply of Okoubaka at home or make sure there is a good pharmacy nearby."
I can see where a remedy that can help with poisoning may help with chemo!
