Hello,

I don't find in my MM's information on Cadmium Metallicum. It is listed in
Syn. 7 under
Generalities, Wraps, x-ray burns or treatment; after. Would someone point
me in the right direction etc.

Thanks, in advance.

Cad-M is described in OA Julian's Materia Medica of New Remedies.

I don't know if you also have Encyclopedia Homeopathica in addition to
Radar, but Julian's work is listed in EH. In any case, if you search for
the remedy "cadmium metallicum" in EH, you'll find it's treated in a number
of other sources, including Robin Murphy's MM and even in the Radar
keynotes... Let me know if you need a copy of one of these entries --

Metallic Cadmium
PHARMACY - Cadm-met. Cadmium metallicum. Metallic Cadmium. Historical
dose: Trituration and all potencies, 6x to 30c.

FOLKLORE - Cadmium metallicum and other chemical combinations of
cadmium have proved curative in many cases of stomach and intestinal cancer.
Many of these cases were caused were caused by irritative actions of alumina
toxin resulting from aluminum cooking utensils.
Recently the water supply of many of our cities and villages has been
treated with aluminum fluoride, exposing the public to a potent carcinogenic
agent that has the potential to activate the disease in all those with
inherited tendencies to it.
Cadmium Metallicum comes between zinc and mercury with an atomic weight
of 48. The toxicology indicates vomiting, loss of appetite, emaciation.
Sneezing and coughing with profuse secretion from the respiratory and ocular
mucous membranes.
The first proving was carried out by Burdach in 1827 with a half grain
and later by Petroz. The proving was undertaken again at the instigation of
the International League of Homeopathy in 1947 and a report was set up
Gutman in 1951.
The proving was made on thirty-eight provers, using the following
potencies: 2c, 3c, 6x, 12x and 30c. The latter potency showed no
pathogenetic action. In another connection, MacFarland made a proving on
four female provers using the Skinner potencies, 10m and 50m. Templeton
experimented on nine provers with 2c, Pahud on sixteen provers with 2c, 3c,
6x, 12x and 30x.
