HOW TO CURE EPIDEMICS/ENDEMICS WITH ONE SINGLE DOSE?
It seems that no homoeopath is interested in very good reference books.
[The following from the book HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal and to a lesser extent from Boericke and Hering’s Guiding Symptoms are more than sufficient to treat all epidemics with one single dose. For example, in the case of swine flu, patients die with lung complications. The killing disease of lung is pneumonia and under the chapter pneumonia in HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal we find the words ‘epidemic pneumonia’ under two remedies viz., Ferr-met and Merc-sol. I have cured several cases of swine flu with one single dose of Merc-sol. 200.]

========================================
Epidemic Asiatic Cholera - sulph. as a preventive, sprinkled into each stocking, boot or shoe, twice a week.-1, acon., ars., camph., carb. v., ipec., cupr., sec., veratr.; 2, bell., canth., cham., cic., hydr. ac., jatr., laur., merc., nicotin, nux v., phos., phos. ac., ric.-aegidi recommends as a preventive for a week one dose every evening of chin. mur. 0, 01-0, 06 and ozonized water. all food must be cooked; raw fruits strictly forbidden.
Epidemic cholera, remedies to remember: the general aspect of cholera was like the general aspect of Cuprum, Camphor and Veratrum, and these three remedies are the typical cholera remedies.
- They all have the general feature of cholera, its nature and general aspect.
- They all have the exhaustive vomiting and diarrhoea, the coldness, the tendency to collapse, the sinking from the emptying out of the fluids of the body.
- From what I have said you will see that the Cuprum case is, above all others, the spasmodic case.
- It has the most intense spasms, and the spasms being the leading feature, they overshadow all the other symptoms of the case.
- He is full of cramps and is compelled to cry out with the pain from the contractions of the muscles.
- Camphor has the blueness, the exhaustive discharge, though less than Cuprum and Veratrum; but whereas in the two latter remedies the patient is willing to be covered up, is cold he wants to be uncovered and to have the windows open.
- But just here let me mention another feature in Camphor.
- It has also some convulsions which are painful, and when the pain is on he wants to be covered up and wants the windows shut.
- If there are cramps in the bowels with the pain, he wants to be covered up.
- So that in Camphor, during all of its complaints in febrile conditions (and fever is very rare in Camphor), and during the pains he wants to be covered up and warm, but during the coldness he wants to be uncovered and have the air.
- In cholera, then, the extreme coldness and blueness point to Camphor.
- Again, with Camphor there are often scanty as well as copious discharges, so that the cholera patient is often taken so suddenly that he has the coldness, blueness and exhaustion and almost no vomiting or diarrhoea, a condition called dry cholera.
- It simply means an uncommonly small amount of vomiting and diarrhoea.
- This is Camphor.
- Another prominent feature is the great coldness of the body without the usual sweat that belongs to the disease.
- Cuprum and Veratrum have the cold clammy sweat, and Camphor also has sweat, but more commonly the patient needing Camphor is very cold, blue and dry and wants to be uncovered.
- That is striking.
- Now we got to Veratrum and see that we can have three remedies very much alike, and so perfectly adapted to cholera and yet so different.
- Veratrum is peculiar because of its copious exhaustive discharges, copious sweat, copious discharges from the bowels, copious vomiting, and great coldness of the sweat.
- There is some cramping and he wants to be warm; he is ameliorated by hot drinks, and by the application of hot bottles which relieve pain and suffering.
- These three remedies tend downward into collapse and death.
- Now to repeat: Cuprum for the cases of a convulsive character, Camphor in cases characterized by extreme coldness and more or less dryness, and Veratrum when the copious sweat, vomiting and purging are the features.
- That is little to remember, but with that you can enter an epidemic of cholera with confidence.

From the above list we can easily find out and say that Polyporus Pinicola (otherwise called Polyporus Officinalis) is the specific for chikungunya. Also Merc-sol. or Ferr-m. are specific for swine flu.
The one author who treated more number of diseases by using more number of remedies for each disease is Dr. Samuel Lilienthal, the great. We have to salute him for having told us that Polyporus is specific for chikungunya and Merc-sol is specific for swine flu. But no homoeopath wants to make use of the book HOMOEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal.
