* The symptom picture is said to be so bizarre that many authors do not even mention it. The literature, however, relates several cures. Not only does Vrijlandt mention cures with Sol-t-ae. in his book Homoeopathic Prescription in Practice, but Mller also had regular success with it, according to his article in the Zeitschrift fr Klassische Homopathie, 1, 1986. He describes the case of a 70-year-old man with rhythm disturbances, who suffered from palpitations of the heart as soon as he began to eat. After taking Sol-t-ae.
6x the symptoms disappeared in one day as if by magic. A second case involves that of a 26-year-old woman with many fears [fear of the dark, water, choking, narrow spaces] and anxious dreams [of being followed and that her hand or fingers were cut off]. She was cured by first receiving Stram., then Sol-t-ae. and lastly Stram. again. Another case, described by Bakker in Allgemeine Hom. Zeitung, 207, 1962, is that of a woman with pruritus vulvae agg
before menses and agg afternoon. After a month of 6x, a substantial lasting cure was effected.
