- That's one other reason for criticising these people, why they
can't get a decent Zoology textbook BEFORE publishing their stuff.
What you
mention probably reads "Sanguis ( latin: blood ) soricis ( = genitive,
i.e. of the/a ... )". Now, "sorex" both in a good Latin language
dictionary and in
Zoology clearly refers to a very sympathic creature called "shrew" in
English. THAT AIN'T NO MEMBER OF THE MOUSE TRIBE, it is not even a
rodent. Genus Sorex ( described scient.ly by Linnaeus in 1758, name
never changed since, if anyone cares ), belongs to the Soricidae,
which ~ Insectivora, which ~ Mammalia, which ~ Animal kingdom, to
which they ought to pay a bit more respect ! But then, they are
homoeopaths, floating high above any mortals ( "inspirational proving"
? )... You are closer to any monkey than a shrew is to any mouse or
rat ( which in turn are relatively closely related
).
- Rat is
"rattus", the most common one "r.norvegicus"; so the remedies
mentioned here are correctly to be called:
1) Mus musculus ( ex corpore
toto ) for "house mouse ( from whole body)" and
2) "Sanguis rattinus"
( "... ex sanguine ratti norvegici" + adding subspecies perhaps and/or
feri/ domestici ) for "rattish blood" + sufficient detail, species and
wild/ domestic-laboritory type source animal.
- The Lacs end in -um 'cause lac is a neuter, but sanguinis is
masculine, hence the difference."rattinus" is adjective in analogy to
traditional "caninum" etc., in turn in analogy to traditional,
pre-homoeop. plant and other rem. terms.

Opps, sorry might have been a typo of mine. The remedy is

Sanguis soricis Blood of the Rat
also previously called
Rattus rattus.

Jayesh Shah and colleagues did Rattus, then Herrick did same remedy proving
and it is now named Sanguis sor, much in part to my objections to the
pharmacies about blood remedies.
I think that remedies made from blood need to be labeled as such, just like
the lacs, so we don't have rattus rattus being made from either blood or
milk. So sanguis it is and my apologies for the typo.

9999 Dear Melanie, A good point. However, in my opinion the Linnean nomenclature would be best adhered to for the living materia medica. The preparation method, if distinctive, should be the third component of the name: i.e

Genus, species, (prep method)

for example:
Rattus rattus sanguis or:

Rattus rattus lactis (or whatever the proper latin suffix is for milk)
The other method (putting prep method first) is too non-standard and makes the materia medica a hodge-podge.
Best regards,
Andy
