Use of the Lilenthal Therapeutic Handbook

[Dr Krishna murthy]

Drop the symptom in Lilienthal and you get the remedy!
The present day seminars, workshops, articles in homoeo journals and books published after the year 1946 are but mockery of homoeopathy.

Homoeopathy is based on eternal laws. There are no theories or principles of practice. It is ridiculous to talk of ‘principles’ and ‘theories’ of homoeopathy.

—————

One more question to those who want to be honest in their practice.

Question: Where will you look for remedies for complaints of (a) the new born within twenty-four hours after birth; and (b) within one year of age?

Answer: (a) See the last chapter The BABYin
The Accoucheur Emergency Manuel by
Dr. W. A. Yingling.

(b) See (i) the Chapter GENITALIA—FEMALE—INFANTS in Dr. Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory and (ii) “Children Diseases of—MorbiNeonatorum et Infantum.” in Homoeo-pathic therapeutics by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal. (p. 148 to 184)

Use of these books is worth attending one thousand so-called seminars on homoeopathy. Awake, arise, the hour is late! The hour is late!!

wHITHER hOMOEOPATHY?

Could Nirbhaya of Delhi have been saved with homoeopathic medicines?

Our question is simple. What is the remedy that would have cured Nirbhaya of Delhi, in one single dose? A practitioner ought to keep these remedies in his fingertip!

Dr. Hahnemann, in his own time, had remarked, “Many of my followers, I am sorry to say, are but half converts.” That holds good even today. The seminars, articles in journals, so-called research papers, etc. are nothing but mockery of not only homoeopathy but also homoeopaths.

In emergencies nature speaks plainly. The more danger to life, the clearer the symptoms speak and quicker our remedy acts.

The reader need not say that any remedy prescribed on ‘totality-of-symptoms’ would have cured the gang rape victim Nirbhaya who died of septicaemia. That is a vague statement.

Treatment for Nirbhaya with homoeopathic medicines?

During the South Delhi Homoeo Association Conference conducted at New Delhi during September 14-15, 2013, I asked an audience of about one hundred and fifty homoeopaths to raise the hands if they have a copy of the homoeo reference book
The Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual by Dr. W. A. Yingling and/or Homoeopathic Therapeutics by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal. To my shock, only half-a-dozen homoeopaths raised their hands. Most of the homoeopaths have never referred to these two books.

Is homoeopathy to be practised out of sheer whims and fancies or is it an exact and accurate science?

One single dose of the remedy Crotalus horridus (be it in 200th or 1000th or 10m potency) would have saved Nirbhaya. What is the case and why Crotalus Horridus for that?

Septicaemia caused by trauma with haemorrhage.

Malignant diseases with blood degeneration are magically cured with one single dose of the remedy Crotalus horridus - 10M. What are those diseases which threaten the life of the patient? They are:

(a) septicaemia caused by trauma with bleeding;

(b) uncomplicated cases of blood cancer;

(c) haemophilia;

(d) jaundice after blood transfusion;

(e) infective hepatitis;

(f) hepatitis B virus.

‘Septicaemia’ is a ‘general’ symptom. ‘Traumatic haemorrhage’ is another general symptom. A general symptom occurring as a concomitant or modality to another general symptom is like the apex court judgment. Crotalus horridus is the only remedy for this. On page 912 of one of the high-definition reference works, viz., Homoeopathic Therapeutics by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal, we find the following:

Pyaemia, septicaemia: Acon.,Arn., Ars., Calend., Canth., Carbol. ac., Chin.arom.,Chinin. mur. orsulph., Crotal., Lach., Nit. ac., Rhus,
Veratr.vir., Zinc.

—for the haemorrhages: Crotal., Ergot., Kreos., Nitr. ac., Mur.ac., Fer-mur., Tarent-c., Tereb.

—for the adynamia: Mosch.,Camph., Carb. v., Crotal.,Lach., Phos., Sil., Veratr. alb.,
Veratr. vir.,Sulph.

Crotalus horridus alone is common to the above three rubrics. Does any homoeopath want a better justification for the necessity of Lilienthal?

We have cured three similar cases of septicaemia; one case was that of a boy attacked with knives; the other two were victims of road accidents; all were bleeding and also developed septicaemia before admitted to the hospital several hours later. In these three serious cases allopathic doctors gave up hope. We cured all these cases with one single dose of Crotalus-hor., much to the astonishment of allopaths. That is why we are now able to write boldly that the gang rape ‘victim’ Nirbhaya too could have been saved with one single dose of this remedy.

The anxious practitioner may ask why the high potency? Of course, Dr. Hahnemann did not use above the 30th potency. Does it mean that higher potencies are of no use? The answer, again, is given by Dr. W. A. Yingling: “With the high potencies . . . frequent repetitions are unnecessary . . .” [See The Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual, Preface and Introduction.]

Lilienthal’s work is an outstanding and laborious effort. He is a pioneer in the field of homeopathic therapeutics. It is a complete work and an easy reference book listing various disorders alphabetically with remedy reference. This therapeutic manual offers a wide array of ailments and clinical conditions with thorough and reliable remedy differentiation. This magnificent treatise will serve as an invaluable guide to effective remedy application by comparing the characteristics of each remedy given under every pathological condition. This book will enable students and practitioners to enhance their art of prescription. No author has excelled Lilienthal, excepting, of course, Dr. Yingling.

The first and last disqualification for any homoeopath is not making use of Lilienthal in his day to day practice!

Jayerkar, bensation method, hegal method… What are they? Throw them out! They are the measles and mumps of homoeopathic community.

One of the medical emergencies is during childbirth or abortion. Again, I asked the audience to raise their hands if anyone has ever treated or cured a difficult labor case and none lifted their hands.

Actual cases cured by the author:

Case: I once visited an old friend of mine in Delhi and in the house his pregnant daughter was sitting shedding tears. Upon inquiry the mother told me that the next day was delivery date and the doctors said that she was very weak and so wouldn’t be able to develop any labor pain; therefore, caesarean alone was to be done.

Yingling was referred to. On page 231 we find the following:

Weak, patient too weak to develop normal pains: Caul., Mur-ac.

Since Muriatic acid has more weakness I started putting questions to the patient.

A characteristic symptom in Muriatic acid is “Mouth and anus chiefly affected.” [See Boericke’s Materia Medica.]

I asked her whether she was having soreness or any complaint in mouth and to this she replied in the affirmative. I further asked if she had similar complaint in her anus and she confirmed this too. I went to a nearby homoeo drug store, bought one dram pills of Muriatic Acid 200 (they did not have this remedy above the 200th potency) and asked the patient to take one pill every four hours. (Had 10M potency been available then, I would have given that. For example, if you want to give a dose of 10M and if that potency is not available you may give 200th or 1M potency every 4-8 hours, three doses only. Three doses of 200 or 1M would act like a single dose of 10M.)

Within minutes of taking a dose of Muriatic Acid-200 she developed labor pains; was rushed to hospital and upon entering she took another dose. Within half-an-hour it was normal and safe delivery. I have to quote another cured case here.

Case: A pregnant lady in a village went to a town (where her sister lived) for delivery. The doctors in a nursing home after examining her, declined to admit her because instead of descending, the uterus was in an upward position. She was then taken to the Govt. hospital. Upon examining her, even they said that it was a major surgery and since the senior surgeon was not available they would not admit her. She came home weeping. When I heard this I wanted to find out if homoeopathy can help her and so turned to Yingling. On page 229 we find the following:

Upward, uterus seems to go: Cimic.

I gave her Cimicifuga(Actaearecemosa)-10M, one single dose. Within minutes she felt the uterus coming down to its normal position; and also developed labor pains: so, was rushed to the hospital. This time, upon examining her, the attending doctor said that everything was normal and so admitted her and it was a safe and normal delivery!

Does the reader need any further or better justification for having a copy of Yingling?

Every homoeopath should read at least once a month, the Preface and Introduction in the Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual by Dr. W. A. Yingling. [Copy of this book can be had from the author by sending Rs.380=00 by money order only.]

‘Mind’ symptoms

[The most misunderstood topics in homoeopathy are ‘mind symptoms’(section 213 of the Organon) and ‘uncommon-rare-strange-peculiar-symptoms’(Section 153.) When Section 213 is read with section 153 we can conclude that we should take only those mind symptoms which we have never heard before normally/commonly/usually in any patient.]

‘Mind Symptoms’ and ‘uncommon symptoms’ (for selecting the remedy) are not what you have learnt but they are, in reality, something different which you have to learn by rote.

—————

Again, most of the valuable ‘mind’ or ‘uncommon’ symptoms cannot be classified under any head in the repertories and the honest and conscious homoeopath has to learn them by rote. (‘rote’ means mechanical or habitual repetition). Therefore, in many cases (if not all cases), homoeopathic software is of no use, however costly it may be and however praised by the so-called leading homoeopaths.
The following actual cases cured by the author would give the reader a clear and accurate meaning of ‘mind symptoms’ and ‘uncommon symptoms’ in a matter-of-fact way. Dr. Hahnemann advises that without prescribing on mind symptoms a cure is not possible (Section 213 of the Organon.) ‘Anger’, ‘restlessness’ etc. are ‘common’ symptoms of mind. ‘When Section 213 is read with Section 153, we infer that we have to prescribe on ‘uncommon mind symptoms.’
Use of Repertories

Repertorisation is not what you have hitherto learnt elsewhere.

One cannot learn swimming without first getting into the water. For learning car driving you are first made to sit on the wheel. So also, without actual cases, one cannot learn practical homoeopathy. Following are actual cases treated by us:

Case: A beginner in homoeopathy, one of my students, asked me over phone how to proceed in a case of bleeding from uterus in a 60-day pregnant lady.

Myself: Did the patient went to a lady doctor?

Student: Yes.

Myself: What did she say?

Student: After examining the patient, the lady doctor told that the child is okay and the patient need not worry about bleeding.

I asked my student to see the reference books in the order given below:

Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory — Genitalia — Female — Pregnancy — Hemorrhage: Cocc.,Rhus-t., Sec., Trill.

Lilienthal — Miscarriage — To read all the above four remedies. In the remedy Trillium we find the words ‘third month’.

Boericke Mat. Medica — Trillium [The very first sentence reads:] “A general haemorrhagic medicine...”

The entire Boericke Mat. Medica is of no use for us. Only the preamble para(s) before ‘Mind’ and the para ‘Mind’ alone are is useful.

After having selected one or a few remedies through one or more repertories, to confirm one among those few remedies, read all of them in Boericke. You have to look into the preamble and the para ‘Mind’. Other portions such as ‘Head’ ‘Eye’ etc. you need not read.

Case: A primipara (first pregnancy lady) was having morning sickness from her third month till the sixth month. After taking full meals when she gets up to wash the hands she would vomit what all she had taken in the same reverse order. As the patient was in a far away place she was asked to write down in her own handwriting her symptoms as if she is telling to her friend about her complaints. Her letter is given below.

“After full meals as I get up I get vomiting. So after eating, I wash my hands in the plate and lie down. After half-an-hour or so only I get up.

I also feel foetus’ kicking pain. When a heavy truck goes on the road making a thunder noise, I feel that noise hit in the place in my belly where the kick of the child causes pain.

Case repertorisation:

Boericke’s Repertory (last chapter) MODALITIES (p.970)—Aggravation:

Jar — Ars.,Bell., Berb. v., Bry.,Cic., Crot., Glon., Ign., Nux-v., Spig., Ther.

Noise —Acon., Asar., Bell., Bar., Calad., Cham., Cinch., Cocc., Coff., Colch., Ferr., Glon., Ign., Lyc., Mag. m., Med., Nux-m., Nux-v., Onosom., Phos.,
Solan-lyc., Spig., Tar-h., Ther.

The six remedies viz., Bell.,Glon., Ign., Nux-v., Spig., and Ther. are common to the above two lists. All these six remedies were studied in Boericke’s Mat. Medica.

The remedy Theridionwas selected because of the following found therein.

Sensitive to noise; it penetrates the body... Noises seem to strike on painful spots over the body.

Theridion-30, single dose completely stopped the vomiting and pain

WHITHER HOMOEOPATHY?

What the hell is going on in the name of homoeopathic practice? Our
question is simple. What is the remedy that would have cured Nirbhaya
of Delhi, in one single dose? A practitioner ought to keep these
remedies in his fingertips!

Dr. Hahnemann, in his own time, had remarked, “Many of my followers, I
am sorry to say, are but half converts.” That holds good even today.
The seminars, articles in journals, so-called research papers, etc.
are nothing but mockery of not only homoeopathy but also of
homoeopaths.

In emergencies nature speaks plainly. The more danger to life, the
clearer the symptoms speak and quicker our remedy acts.

The reader need not say that any remedy prescribed on totality of
symptoms would have cured the gang rape victim Nirbhaya who died of
septicaemia. That is a vague statement.

Why any homoeopath or the Central Council did not open their mouth
about treating Nirbhaya with homoeopathic medicines? Either there is
no remedy to cure her or if homoeopathy can cure her, then the present
day homoeopaths, be it at Delhi or anywhere in India (or, for that
matter, anywhere in the world) are ignorant of homoeopathy.

During the South Delhi Homoeo Association Conference conducted at New
Delhi during September 14-15, 2013, I asked an audience of about one
hundred and fifty homoeopaths to raise the hands if they have a copy
of the homoeo reference book, The Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual by Dr.
W. A. Yingling and/or Homoeopathic Therapeutics by Dr. Samuel
Lilienthal. To my shock, only half-a-dozen homoeopaths raised their
hands. Most of the homoeopaths have never referred to these two books.

Is homoeopathy to be practised out of sheer whims and fancies or is it
an exact and accurate science?

One single dose of the remedy Crotalus horridus (be it in 200th or
1000th or 10m potency) would have saved Nirbhaya. What is the case and
why Crotalus Horridus for that?

SEPTICAEMIA CAUSED BY TRAUMA WITH HAEMORRHAGE.

Diseases of blood that end fatally are magically cured with one single
dose of Crotalus horridus. What are the diseases of blood which
threaten the life of the patient? They are:

(a) septicaemia caused by trauma with bleeding;
(b) uncomplicated cases of blood cancer;
(c) haemophilia;
(d) jaundice after blood transfusion;
(e) infective hepatitis;
(f) hepatitis B virus.

‘Septicaemia’ is a ‘general’ symptom. ‘Traumatic haemorrhage’ is
another general symptom. A general symptom occurring as a concomitant
or modality to another general symptom is like the apex court
judgment. Crotalus horridus is the only remedy for this. On page 912
of Lilienthal we find the following:

Septicaemia: Acon., Arn., Ars., Calend., Canth., Carbol. ac., Chin.
arom., Chinin. mur. or sulph., Crotal., Lach., Nitr. ac., Rhus,
Veratr. vir., Zinc.
—for the haemorrhages: Crotal., Ergot., Kreos., Nitr. ac., Mur . ac.,
Fer. mur., Tarent-c., Tereb.
—for the adynamia: Mosch., Camph., Carb. v., Crotal., Lach., Phos.,
Sil., Veratr. alb., Veratr. vir., Sulph.

Crotalus horridus alone is common to the above three rubrics. Does any
homoeopath want a better justification for the necessity of
Lilienthal?
We have cured three similar cases of septicaemia; one case was that of
a boy attacked with knives; the other two were victims of road

admitted to the hospital several hours later. These three cases were
serious and doctors gave up hope. We cured all these three cases with

NEW SUBJECT;

‘Mind Symptom’ and ‘uncommon symptom’ (for selecting the remedy) are
not what you have learnt but they are, in reality, something different
which you ought to know and learn.
—————
Again, most of the valuable ‘mind’ or ‘uncommon’ symptoms cannot be
classified under any head in the repertories and the honest and
conscious homoeopath has to learn them by rote. (The word ‘rote’ means
mechanical or habitual repetition—Oxford). Therefore, in many cases
(if not all cases), homoeopathic software is of no use, however costly
it may be and however praised by the so-called leading homoeopaths.

MIND SYMPTOMS:

The following actual cases cured by the author would give the reader a
clear and accurate meaning of ‘mind symptoms’ and ‘uncommon symptoms’
in a matter-of-fact way. Dr. Hahnemann advises that without
prescribing on mind symptoms a cure is not possible (Section 213 of
the Organon.) ‘Anger’, ‘restlessness’ etc. are ‘common’ symptoms of
mind. ‘When Section 213 is read with Section 153, we infer that we
have to prescribe on ‘uncommon mind symptoms.’

CASE 1: A renal failure patient under dialysis and waiting for kidney
transplant, was under our treatment. We could not find his remedy.

There is no guarantee for kidney transplant, because after a few
years, many patients die because the donor kidney stops functioning.
After transplant he was heard saying, “Now I feel as if I am released
from prison . . . as if I have taken a rebirth.” This he said because
he is now freed from torturing and exhausting bi-weekly dialysis,
taking rest, body becoming weak etc.

This mental picture of the patient should at once bring to our mind
the following words:

…desire to be released from what seems to be a perpetual burden of
sorrow… (See p. 111 of the Final Mat. Medica of Mind Symptoms by the
author)

We are going to give Ignatia to him and we are confident that his
other kidney would start functioning and even if the donor kidney
fails he would live long.

CASE 2: A patient with weeping eczema etc. came to me and said,
“Doctor, I am not taking the treatment to live long. But I have an
aged daughter to be married and a son who is looking out for a job.
Who would come forward to marry my daughter, if I have a weeping
eczema? Only because of that, I want to get cured. Before I die, I
want to settle things in my family; my daughter getting married and
son getting a job. Then I can die peacefully.”

Under the remedy Petroleum (Boericke’s Materia Medica) we find the following:
Feels that death is near, and must hurry to settle affairs.

Now, this sentence fits with the remarks made by the above eczema
patient. This remedy was given in single dose and it cured him
completely.

CASE 3: A peptic ulcer patient’s condition worsened day by day and
allopathic antacids were giving only temporary relief. At the height
of his suffering (hunger pain with burning sensation in the food pipe,
temporarily relieved by eating) he was heard saying, “I think that my
end is approaching; I must call the lawyer to write the will; that
this hotel of mine should go to my wife; money deposited in the bank
is for my son. My widowed sister who has been living with me for
several years and helping me should take the house which I bought
recently.”
This mind picture agrees with the remarks made by the patient in case
No. 2 above.

One single dose of Petroleum-10M cured this patient as well. We do not
prescribe on names of disease or pathology but on ‘uncommon’ symptoms
having no relevance to pathology. Anger, irritability etc. are not
‘uncommon mind symptoms’.

CASE 4: A seventy year old carpenter was under my treatment for skin
complaint and he was improving. I ask my chronic disease patients to
come once a month. During one of his visits he was accompanied by his
48-year old son. The latter was coughing with chest congestion etc.
The carpenter told his son; “Why don't you also take treatment from
this doctor. See how much I have improved, whereas the other seven
doctors to whom I consulted earlier could not do anything in my case.”

To this, the son said: “The new house where I shifted has no
raasi.”(‘Raasi’ in Tamil means luck). In other words the person feels
that everything was going wrong ever since he started living in a
particular house. So, that house has no raasi. Or, a person feels that
ever since he bought and started using his car, nothing went right. He
attributes his sufferings, failures, difficulties etc. to that
vehicle. I hope the reader would understand this. The son continued,
“Even the new work place where I am going daily is not raasi (or has
no good luck.)”

The other word to describe ‘raasi’ would be ‘sentimental’ ‘luck’. The
carpenter’s son was not ready to take treatment from me only because
he felt that the house and the work place is the cause of his
respiratory complaints.

I gave him one dose of a remedy telling him to take that and he need
not pay me any fees. He took it. (Later I learnt that he was
completely cured.).

Can any homoeopath tell me what remedy I gave the patient?

MIND Symptoms: Superiority of Lilienthal:

Read the remedy Staphisagria in the chapter Melancholia in Lilienthal
(p. 701.) There we find the following:

Inwardly gnawing grief and anger, he looks at everything from the
darkest side . . . disinclination to work and think; dread of the
future and dread of being constantly pursued . . . a sorrowfulness
ending in paralysis of the intellect . . .

Homoeopathy is an exact and accurate subject. Precision and
versatility is its culture. No one can practise it from imagination.

The enthusiastic reader would be eager to know how I selected this
remedy for the above case.

(a) Reproaches others (blaming the house and work place.)
(b) Sentimental.

I write down the remedies common to both the above rubrics in Kent’s
Repertory and read them in the chapter Melancholia in Lilienthal.
Staphisagria suited the symptoms of the case.

CASE 5: A lady of forty-two came with a large calculus in her urinary
bladder. She said that allopathic doctors advised surgery as the only
answer but she declined to undergo it. She continued that she had
already undergone two caesarean sections and one appendicectomy; after
each one of these surgeries, her general health came down. Therefore
she cannot afford deterioration of health any further with another
surgery and that she must safeguard her health for the remaining
period of her life. Under the remedy Nux vomica (p. 128 in the Final
Mat. Medica of Mind Symptoms by the author) we find the following:
Afraid she may not have enough to live on.

Nux-vomica-1M one single dose was given in the evening. Not only her
general health improved, but also the size of the stone started
reducing. (Patient still under treatment)

CASE 6: A chronic renal failure patient came to me with a few
relatives, all of whom were allopathic doctors. They showed me a file
containing the diagnostic and other papers of the patient. After this,
one by one, the relatives went out.

The patient was still sitting. He said, “Doctor, my sons say that I am
sick and so I should not ride bicycle, go out and do our business.
They say they will do everything and ask me to sit at home taking
rest. As my children, they should only tell me that I am all right and
I would recover soon. But instead of encouraging me for speedy
recovery they have branded me as a permanent and incurable patient.”
[The reader may note here that in most cases the ‘uncommon’ symptom
(on which we can make a prescription) is told by the patient at the
end of the consultation, or, in some cases, after you have made the
prescription! In yet a few cases, during the second or subsequent
consultations!]

This patient feels that his sons, instead of encouraging, are letting
him down. What one requires from the relatives is not money nor help
but moral support. In this case the patient feels that this is
completely missing.

This symptom we find in two remedies. (See the Final Mat. Medica of
Mind Symptoms by the author. p. 114 and 147) They are

“… a feeling of moral deficiency…” – Kali- brom.

“… despondency, sadness, moral depression and relaxation…” – Tarentula hisp.

Tarentula hisp. 10M -single dose was given.

CASE 7: A lady of fifty-five, school teacher, was under my treatment
for three months for sinusitis with little relief. She lives thirteen
kilometers away from my clinic and she works in a school which is less
than one kilometer from my clinic. Before going to the school she
would come to me once a month, take medicine and go to school. Seeing
no relief in spite of three visits, I told her that a certain
acupressure doctor would come and give just 3-minute treatment once
only and for this she need not pay any fees and also I assured total
relief. Since the acupressure doctor comes to my clinic on Sundays
only I asked her to come on a Sunday. To this she replied, “I have to
come all the way… from ... (her residence.)”
During the earlier three visits she would come to me in the morning
before going to her school which is near my clinic. Sunday is holiday
for school and she feels it an ordeal to come for acupressure
treatment all… the… way from her residence thirteen kilometers away.

It is hesitation. I told her no need to pay any fees for the one-time
acupressure and 100% cure was also assured. Therefore, travelling
thirteen kilometres won’t be a crime. But to do this she has
hesitation. Before we show the reader how we selected the remedy on
this symptom, let us now see two more cases.
In the above said case, for merely travelling ten kilometres they have
lot of hesitation as if I am asking them to do some crime or immoral
thing. In other words, they are over conscious of a trivial thing. The
apt term would be “Conscientious scruples.”
This symptom is in the remedy Arsenicum album. [Seethe Final Mat.
Medica of Mind Symptoms by the author p. 77.]

Let us repeat, that uncommon mind symptom may be in most cases one
only, and the computer-software or ‘remedy finders’ are of no use. One
single dose of Arsenicum Album-10M completely cured the above
sinusitis patient and even acupressure treatment was not given.

CASE 8: This is a cancer patient and after the consultation was over,
I asked my fees of six thousand rupees. To this he replied, “Money…
is…” (The sentence was incomplete and hesitation was as if they are
asked to do some big immoral act.) He should say that either he has no
money or that he would try to borrow from relatives. But he does
neither. Ars. Alb-10M, one single, dose cured him.
The above cases would illustrate the meaning and interpretation of
mind symptoms of a patient. In some cases the repertory or software is
not useful and you have to learn by rote these un-common mind
symptoms.

Let no one practise homoeopathy without the help of Lilienthal.
Precision and versatility is required to practise homoeopathy.
The most useful books for mind symptoms are:

(1) Dr. Samuel Lilienthal’s Homoeopathic Therapeutics.
(2) Dr. William Boericke’s Mat. Medica.
(3) Wilkinson’s Final Materia Medica (Compiled by
Dr. V. Krishnaamurthy).
(4) Final Repertory of Mind Symptoms.

Lilienthal is ten times worth its weight in gold.

CASE 9: A patient with chronic headache, after spending much money
with various doctors, specialists and homoeopaths came to me. After
finishing the history of his seven years’ pain in head, he ended up
saying: “Doctor, if you or anyone can cure me of this terrible
headache, I won’t mind even giving away half of my property (worth
three millions) to that doctor.” Doctors of all other systems would
simply ignore this statement of the patient.

If a patient is ready to pay 1.5 million... I thought over this. I
took this as a challenge to homoeopathy. I asked him to first pay me
ten thousand rupees and also give me two weeks’ time with a promise
that if I do not cure him in one single dose (or a few doses) I would
pay him double the amount paid by him. Also, if he is cured he may pay
me another ten thousand rupees. He agreed to this condition and paid
ten thousand rupees.

I took a copy of Boericke’s Materia Medica and went to a professor of
English in a college and requested him to render me a help. I told him
that he has to read the lines given only under the chapter ‘Mind’ in
all the remedies in Boericke’s Mat. Med. and underline if any relevant
line is found equivalent to the statement of a person who says that he
would pay half of his wealth if his headache is cured. I paid him five
thousand rupees (which the professor said is more than sufficient for
the work)—It may take a few days, daily spending two or three hours to
go through the lines given under the chapter ‘Mind’ in Boericke’s
688-page materia medica.

To another professor of English I gave a copy of Wilkinson’s Mat.
Medica and paying him the remaining five thousand rupees requested him
to do the job of reading the lines given only under the chapter ‘Mind’
in all the remedies (and this too would take a few days, daily working
for three hours) and tell me if he finds anything equivalent to the
above said statement of the headache patient.

The first professor (using Boericke’s) could not find anything apt.
But the second professor underlined and pointed out the following
lines in the remedy Stillingia (under ‘Mind’ in Wilkinson’s).

“Deplorably downhearted; suffering extreme torture from bone pains.”

Stillingia 1000, one single dose cured the patient and he paid me
another ten thousand rupees. After this case I cured two more patients
with Stillingia, both of whom said the above words (ready to give his
entire wealth to the doctor who cures him).

Diligence and knowledge of English language, both to the core, are
required to practise homoeopathy.

CASE 10: Here is another case of headache. This 55-year old male
patient remarked: “Doctor, all these years I have been having these
pains; my sufferings are such that no amount of compensation would be
equal to it. Even if you make me the President of all the nations in
the world that would not be a sufficient compensation.” I told him the
same condition which I put to the patient in the earlier case. After
taking ten thousand rupees I went to the two English professors, one
with Boericke and the other with Wilkinson’s Mat. Medica. In this case
the professor going through Boericke’s Mat. Medica could help me. He
pointed to the following found under the remedy Selenium.

“Extreme sadness. Abject despair, uncompromising melancholy.”

Selenium 10M, one dose cured the patient and he paid me ten thousand rupees.
On a later occasion the above said professors asked me what I did by
their help and I showed them how I practise homoeopathy. Soon both of
them started learning and practising homoeopathy.

Homoeopathic system of medicine is exact and accurate. Precision and
versatility is its culture.
—————
In some cases Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory is excellent to work out
cases with mind symptoms.

The other day I was sitting by the side of a senior homoeopath in his
clinic. A patient entered and asked, “Do you have medicine for
diabetes?”

Doctor: Yes, tell me your symptoms.

Patient: (Stretching his hand towards the doctor). “See my pulse; give
medicine.”

[The tone of the patient was in a commanding note similar to a king,
who, when anything is required would order, “Bring the head of the
thief in two hours.”]
The doctor turned towards me and said, “See doctor, these patients
don’t tell symptoms. How can I prescribe?” That doctor always thinks
“Sensation, Locality Modalities, concomitants. What a wrong teaching?”
I took Calvin B. Knerr’s Repertory and showed him the following:

MIND, Answers, imperiously: Lycopodium.

Further I showed him the following from Wilkinson’s Mat. Medica under
the remedy Lycopodium:

“Talks with an air of command . . . manner stiff and pretentious.”

Lycopodium 10M, one single dose, cured him of diabetes.
—————
RARE-STRANGE-PECULIAR” SYMPTOMS

CASE 11: A patient came in with pain in the femoral part of urethra
and backache. It was worse while riding the two-wheeler. He showed his
medical file (given by allopathic hospital) and therefrom we noted the
following points:

hydroureteronephrosis—Left kidney;
pain in femoral part of urethra;
pain in sacral region.

His complaint (pathology) is in ureter but he has pain in femoral part
of urethra and sacrum. This is something rare-strange-peculiar. Both
these painful places are at the same distance from the seat of
affection—ureter.

Under the remedy Belladonna (Wilkinson’s Materia Medica) we find the following:
“Inflammation of internal organs… The inflammation… runs in radii as
it extends to adjacent parts.”

(Femoral part of urethra and sacrum are more or less at equal distance
from his left ureter). Belladonna-10M, single dose, cured him.

CASE 12: Two years after the above case, a lady came to me for
cervical spondylitis. These patients get pain normally in the neck
extending to head or one upper limb. Strangely this patient complained
of unbearable pain in both shoulder tips. (Both shoulder tips are at
the same distance away from the cervical vertebra.) Belladonna-10M,
single dose cured her.

CASE 13: Let us now examine what is meant by uncommon symptoms: Some
of the most useful uncommon physical symptoms cannot be classified
under any head in the repertory or homoeo software and so it is better
to memorise them.
For example, under the remedy Ignatia we find the words great
contradictions. (Boericke Mat. Med.) A haemorrhoid patient said at the
end of the consultation. [Remember, in most cases, after the narration
is over and after a pause, the patient leans forward towards you and
with wide open eyes (exclaims)] “Doctor…one thing. Everyone says that
pain, bleeding etc. in piles would increase while straining when
constipated; but my case is different. I do not get pain or bleeding
whenever I strain during constipation. But during loose bowel movement
I get both burning and bleeding.”

The contradictory symptom is both ways. Hence Dr. William Boericke
writes in plural: “Great contradictions.” Ignatia-1M, single dose
cured this patient.
CASE 14: A school boy of twelve was brought by the parents. The mother
started talking: “Doctor, he has to leave the house for school at 9.30
in the morning. He gets up at 6.00 a.m. By 7.30 a.m. he becomes so
restless—jumps, cries etc. This would last for half-an-hour. Then this
disappears; it is followed by 3-4 times loose bowel movement. After
that he becomes completely all right and goes to school.”
In this case the following should come to our mind:
“Symptoms disposed to appear periodically and in groups... ”

The above lines are found in the remedy Cuprum met. (Boericke’s
Materia Medica.)

This remedy cured the patient in one single dose in the 200th potency.

ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF MEDICAL PRACTICE -
12 VOLUMES WITH ONE INDEX VOLUME is available with us for sale at
Rs.11,500/-including postage to any part of India. (Each volume
consists of about 750 pages)

The above reference book is absolutely essential if at all a
homoeopathic practitioner would make better use of Section 153 of the
Organon which tells that we must prescribe on 'uncommon' symptoms. For
this, one must know what are 'common' symptoms of a disease.

Also, in some cases, aetiology (cause of disease), age incidence etc,
may also help us to select appropriate rubrics for a given case.

Again DIAGNOSIS AND DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS would, in many cases, would
help us a lot and the above encyclopaedia has helped even lay people
to know the correct diagnosis where even specialists could not make
out anything.
For example, a girl of eight years was having uncontrollable stool and
urine. In the above said ENCYCLOPAEDIA in the Index volume we see the
following:

urine, incontinence of
faeces, incontinence of

Against the above two headings, the number of a few volumes (along
with the page number in which the symptom appears) were given. We
found one volume number common to the above headings and in that page
there we found incontinence of urine and faeces is symptoms of
arteriosclerotic parkinsonism. We went to Lilienthal and on page 73
read the remedies and thus could find the correct remedy for the
patient.

AETIOLOGY or CAUSE OF DISEASE; when we read AETIOLOGY in the above
said encyclopaedia in the chapter Parkinson's disease (paralysis
agitans), we read that it occurs in sixth or seventh decade and trauma
is a possible cause. In the absence of more valuable symptoms we must
take the following rubrics for any case of Parkinson’s disease.

KENT'S REPERTORY—GENERALITIES:

—OLD people: Acon., agar., aloe., alumn., Ambr., am-c., ammc., anac.,
ant-c., ant-t., ars., Aur., Bar-c., bry., calc-p., camph., carb-an.,
carb-v., caust., cic., Coca., colch., con., fl-ac., iod., Kali-c.,
Lyc., nat-m., nit-ac., Op., sabad., Sec., Sel., seneg., sulph.,
sul-ac., Teucr;

—WOUNDS, constitutional effects of: Arn., carb-v., con., hep., ind.,
lach., Led., nat-m., nit-ac., phos., puls., rhus-t., staph., sul-ac.,
zinc.

Three remedies viz., Carbo-veg, conium, nat-mur, nitric acid and
sulphuric acid are common to the above two lists.

For knowing the common symptoms of any disease or for that matter
diagnosis and differential diagnosis the above said 12-volume
encyclopaedia is a must for every homoeopath who wants to do sincere
practice. Otherwise one would end up as a symptom-coverer as Bernard
Shaw writes, "When a homoeopath looks at any Chinese he would
prescribe him for jaundice."

Whatever system of medicine one may practice, if he is not good at
diagnosis and differential diagnosis he would be a signal failure.
With the 12-volume ENCYCLOPAEDIA one can improve his respect among
patients and also get good success in practice. The reader may ignore
the treatment section in the above encyclopaedia as it pertains to
allopathy.

Thank you.

Hi Dale,
So you do what I do when you use Lilenthal to study a remedies? I
made an index for it, but I can't find the digital version. Copying a
pasting is a good idea. Just getting things together in the same
place is important.
I use a program called Devonthink. It is great for searching for
words inside documents.
I started reading Borland and discovered him again. So insightful!
Best,
Ellen

[Ellen Madono]

Hi Lynn,
The early editions of Lilenthal have a lot of mistakes. I use what I can copy out of Radar but that is an earlier edition than the printed version. The printed version is the best.
I realized that I can probably get many books in India that would be messy to get shipped to me. At least I might be able to look through them first. Reading a book is so much more comfortable than reading a computer.
Best,
Ellen
