Dear Afsar,
Following is from Verm's S 2 (ext from EH):
Leprominium
Lepr.
Signs
Nosode of leprosy.
In Biblical times leprosy was a name given to various
cutaneous diseases, esp. those of a chronic or
contagious nature, which probably included psoriasis
and leukoderma.
Nowadays leprosy, or Hansen's disease, is understood
as a chronic granulomatous infection caused by
Mycobacterium leprae and affecting cooler parts of the
body such as the skin. There are various forms, e.g. :
Anaesthetic leprosy, chiefly affecting the nerves,
marked by hyperaesthesia succeeded by anaesthesia, and
by paralysis, ulceration, and various trophic
disturbances, terminating in gangrene and mutilation.
Lepromatous leprosy, in which nodular cutaneous
lesions are infiltrated, have ill-defined borders, and
are bacteriologically positive; the lepromin test is
negative.
Tuberculoid leprosy, cutaneous, smooth, or nodular
leprosy; a benign, stable, and resistant form of the
disease in which the lepromin reaction is strongly
positive and in which the lesions are erythematous,
insensitive, infiltrated plaques with clear-cut edges.
[Stedman's]
"Although leprosy resembles many diseases, it
nevertheless produces a state of depression, either
directly or indirectly, that is quite unique. This
offers us the clinical prospect of carefully
individualising our use of the nosode." [Vakil]

* All symptoms from The Emerging Picture of
Leprominium: The Leprosy Nosode, presented by Prakash
Vakil, in: Proceedings of the 1991 Professional Case
Conference.
"For the most part, the symptomatologies of many
nosodes have been discerned in the clinical setting
from the symptomatic reactions of patients to the
disease in question. Clinical evidence has shown that
nosodes can be quite effective when prescribed on
these symptomatic indications. To develop Leprominium,
we collected signs and symptoms from 100 patients
suffering from various types of leprosy. We also
incorporated signs and symptoms reported by other
reliable sources ... Two homoeopathic preparations of
the nosode were made: [1] Leprominium-H, prepared from
a leprous nodule from the ear of a patient where lepra
bacilli were demonstrated microscopically, and [2]
Leprominium-A, prepared from the lepra bacilli
cultured on the foot web of the armadillo.
Leprominium-A is used to determine the reactivity of
patients.
1 Leontiasis is a form of leprosy in which the face
takes on a leonlike appearance, characterised by
ridges and furrows on the forehead and cheeks."
