Hi there,

Does anybody know where I can get hold of materia medica for Nat-sil
(Natrium silicicum)? It isn't in any of my materia medica books or
Radar and it's come up in a couple of cases recently so I'd like to
learn more about.

If you know any books/source for this remedy I'd be really interested.

Many thanks,
Andrew

Hi !

Take care! this is one of the synthetically remedies. There was no
proving, just a combining the Na and Sil features.Kent was criticized
heavily at his time for doing that.

It would be interesting to compare what Kent writes with what Scholten
writes. (Which I would do, but I'm on my way out of town...)

Kent, Pulford, and Scholten have information on it. An untitled French web page once listed Nat-sil., along with Silicea, Silico-fluoratum, Sepia, Aur-m., and Gels., as premier AIDS remedies (I have no idea on what authority). You might look at Mangialavori's volumes 1 & 2 of notes from his Bologna course (available through his website). Volume 1, which deals with Sea remedies, includes the Natrums, and Volume 2 the Silica-like.
