from a tubercular sputum. Historical dose: All potencies, 12c to 200c.
Planets: Mercury, Saturn.
HISTORY - Bacillinum is a nosode of tuberculosis named and first
described by Dr. Burnett, for whom it was prepared from tuberculosis
sputum by Dr. Heath. As this preparation has been experimented with
separately, its symptoms are given apart from the other nosodes of
tuberculosis. Dr. Cartier has found it particularly useful in cases
where there was excessive muco-purulent bronchial secretion threatening
to occlude the lungs. It must be compared with Bacillinum testium,
Tuber. Bovinum, Tuber. Aviaire and Tuber. Koch.
Dr. Burnett has shown that ringworm of the scalp and pityriasis
versicolor on the body are indications of tubercular diathesis and they
respond to this remedy. He cured a case of insanity with ringworm.
Tuberculosis patients are better in dry sunny climates in mountains
areas and in the pine forests. Sunlight helps to prevent tuberculosis,
also there has been many cures of tuberculosis via sunbathing and the
milk diet, which these patients crave.

has not done so well as in more chronic cases.
Also they are leading indications for it when present in
combination with other disorders. A case of insanity with pityriasis
yielded rapidly to the remedy. Pityriasis has been cured by it when all
attempts to kill the body-lice by chemicals were useless.
Dr. Young has recorded the cure of several cases of cretinism. An
inter-current course of Bacillinum will often make a wonderful change
in patients who have a personal or family history of chest disorders.
Clarke has found an eczematous condition of the margins of the
eyelids a strong indication for it. It is a miasmatic remedy of vast
importance.
Grimmer uses it for cases stemming from a tubercular inheritance
with extreme soreness of affected parts, patients of rheumatic
tendencies with syphilitic taints in the bloodstream, general muscular
soreness.

===================================
hypoth., Hypothalamus gland (Murphy)
PHARMACY - Hypoth. Hypothalamus gland. The mother tincture is prepared
from the hypothalamus of the ox. Historical dose: All potencies, 6c to
30c. Planets: Moon.
HISTORY - Hypothalamus glands are made up of pure hypothalamic
hormones, (vasopressin and oxytocin, combined with a transporting
protein). These hormones are liberated in their active form, under such
stimuli, as pain and modifications in the blood biochemistry.
As well as changes in the volume of the blood. The posterior
hypophysis is therefore subject to a direct nervous control. There are
no neurosecretory tissues going from the hypothalamus to the
adenohypophysis. However, the blood irrigation of this gland is
completely assured by the vessel gates which form in the median
protuberance and which traverse the pituitary stem to flow into the
sinusoid of the anterior hypophysis.
Neurons, notably those from the median protuberance, secrete
substances which travel down from the neurons and accumulate at the end
of the tissues. When the cells of the median protuberance are
stimulated, these agents penetrate the vessel gates and the sinusoid
and instigate the liberating of the anterior hypophyseal stimulants.
The usage of hypothalamus in homeotherapy is clinical in nature.

Influ Influenzinum (Murphy)
HOMEOPATHIC -- The general directions Clarke gave to his patients are
these: When "colds" appear in a family let all those who are unaffected
take Ars. 3c thrice daily and let the patients take Influ. 30c every
hour or two. This generally prevents the spread of the trouble and
clears up the "colds," whether they are of the influenza type or not.
Influenzinum has the ability to develope old troubles and thus it takes
a variety of forms in different persons. Influ. need not be expected to
cure all cases unaided or indeed to be appropriate to every case.

kali-s., Kali sulphuricum (Murphy)

Historical dose: Trituration and all potencies, third to thirtieth
potency. Planets: Mercury, Venus.
HISTORY - Kali-s. Schuessler's tissue remedy that affects
respiration, mucous membranes and skin where it causes desquamation.
Schüssler's account of this remedy is as follows: Kali-s., which in
reciprocal action with iron effects the transfer of the inhaled oxygen
to all the cells is contained in all the cells containing iron. A
deficiency of Kali-s. causes: A sensation of heaviness and weariness,
vertigo, chilliness, palpitation of the heart, anxiety, sadness
toothache, headache and pain in the limbs. These are worse in a room in
warmth towards evening, better in open, cool air.
Also to catarrh of larynx, bronchi, nostrils, etc., where the
secretion has the above named characteristics to catarrh of stomach,
where the tongue has a yellowish mucous coating to catarrh of middle
ear and of the kidneys.
Kali-s. effects the access of oxygen and so facilitates the
formation of new epithelium. Schüssler points out that Kali-s. and iron
carry on the same transference of oxygen in the organic world. When a
sulphate and any oxide of iron comes into contact with decomposing
organic substances they surrender their oxygen and form suppurate or
iron. With more oxygen added, this may be further decomposed into
sulphuric acid and an oxide of iron.

HOMEOPATHIC -- Kali-s. is Schüssler's Pulsatilla.

Oscilloc. Oscillococcinum (Murphy)
PHARMACY - Oscillococcinum. Historical dose: All potencies, 30c to
200c. Planets: Mercury.
HISTORY - In the year 1925 Joseph Roy is believed to have observed
in some conditions of a culture the existence of a germ animated by an
oscillating movement. He named the nosode Oscillococcinum because of
this fact. These researches helped him to describe a remedy of which
the clinical experiments in the infections of influenza were carried
out in particular by Paul Chavanon. Oscillococcinum was developed by
Boiron Laboratory in France. Pierre Schmidt says Oscillococcinum is for
"influenza at the beginning as a preventive, as well as during
convalescence"
efficiency and thanks to an important advertisement. Americans and
Europeans make an enormous consumption of it for cold and flu. Nicole
Cure had made a survey on the Oscillococcinum of the Dr Roy, made from
liver of Barbarian duck, through which one can see that indications are
varied and changeable. No proving has been made (11). (Souk)

Hahnemannian method. We are, however, trying to give a clinical
pathogenesis base on the works of P. Chavanon, our own clinical

develop." (Schmidt)
This is a faithful remedy at the beginning of influenza, of
rhinitis and otitis. Given early it is very efficacious. To obtain good

In the skin we find herpetic eruptions with pain out of proportion
to the lesion and angioneurotic edema. In the digestive sphere the
sudden onset is important, either hemorrhage or perforation without any

up. This slow build up of stress in business and society with a sudden
catastrophe is typical of Western countries today. Needless to say the
patient with severe hemorrhage or perforation may require transfusion
or surgical intervention.

pyrog Pyrogenium (Murphy)
PHARMACY - Pyrog. Pyrogenium. Rotten meat pus. Pyrogen. Pyrexin.
Sepsin. A product of the decomposition of chopped lean beef in water,
allowed to stand in the sun for two or three weeks. Dilutions, which
should be made, according to Burnett, direct and without glycerine.
Historical dose: All potencies, sixth to thirtieth potency. Planets:
Mars, Saturn.
HISTORY - John Drysdale was the first in 1880 to suggest the use
of this substance as a medicament. This nosode is prepared from
decomposed lean beef allowed to stand in the sun for two weeks or from
septic pus. Pyrogen is the great remedy for septic states with intense
restlessness. In septic fevers, especially puerperal, Pyrogen has
demonstrated its value as a homeopathic dynamic anti-septic. (H. C.
Allen.).
Burdon Sanderson has stated that "only liquids which contain
bacteria or have a marked proneness to their production" are capable of
setting up pyrexia. This remark struck Drysdale and though of course,
he could not endorse the "only" of the statement many drugs known to
homeopaths set up fever he saw that the fact might be turned to
account. Sanderson further defines Pyrogen as "a chemical non-living
substance formed by living bacteria, also by pus-corpuscles or the
blood or tissue protoplasms from which these corpuscles spring."

sulo-ac Sulphurous acid (Murphy)
PHARMACY - Sulo-ac. Sulphurosum acidum. Sulphur dioxide. Sulphurous
acid. Sulphurous anhydride. The remedy is obtained by dissolving
sulphur dioxide in water. Historical dose: All potencies, 6c to 30c.
Planets: Mars, Mercury.
HISTORY - Sulphur dioxide is soluble in water, it produces an acid
solution containing sulphurous acid. In this way, relatively weak
solutions are obtained. Sulphur dioxide irritates any mucous membrane
with which it comes into contact and by becoming oxidized, it is
transformed into sulphurous acid and then into sulfuric acid. Acting on
the upper respiratory tract, it is known even to create retro-sternal
constriction and phenomena such as anoxia ischemia and myocarditis.
Gutman carried out a

drew up a clinical symptomatology, (1968).
Julian completed Gutman's description with reference to the symptom
data which result from acute and chronic poisoning cases.
HISTORY - Some forty years ago, when the germ theory of disease in
its present form was in its infancy, Dewar of Fite, conceived the idea
that Sulphurous acid was an innocent and at the same time universal
germ destroyer and consequently universal remedy. His views met with
cordial acceptance and inhalations of Sulphurous acid given off from
burning Sulphur became the fashion. Dewar's method was simple.
A few red cinders were put in a kitchen shovel, this was placed in
the center of a room and flowers of sulphur sprinkled thereon. In a
very short time every person in the room was sneezing violently,
coughing and wheezing and running at the eyes and nose. Dewar also used
the ordinary solution and a spray. Wounds, sore nipples, bruises were
also amenable to its local use. Erysipelas, a local application of
equal parts of the acid and glycerine.
HOMEOPATHIC -- Sulo-ac. has been used for chilblains, chapped hands,
diphtheria, scarlatina malign, cold in the head influenza. Sensitivity
to infections. Also, asthma, bronchitis, croup, clergyman's sore
throat, chronic tuberculosis, typhoid fever.
Predisposition to pulmonary tuberculosis. Chronic, purulent hyper
secretion of bronchial mucus in the young without dilatation of the
bronchi. Need for fresh air, vertigo. Irritation of the nose, pharynx
and larynx. Dyspnea, wheezing, coughing and retro-sternal constriction.

Throat - Burning sensation in the throat. Feeling of tightness
around the throat. Lingering huskiness of voice. Scratching in the
throat and chest.
COMMENTS - Sulo-ac. doubtless shares the anti-septic properties of
Sulph. The symptoms are from observations of the effects on workmen in
mines from air contaminated with Sulo-ac. Milne sums up its virtues
thus: "Anti-septic, disinfectant, a powerful deoxidizer and destroyer
of vegetable life." As a gargle it is used in the strength of one to
six. In parasitic skin disorders the B. P. solution is used and is
effective.
Ringer says that ten to fifteen minims taken ten minutes before
each meal will remedy heartburn in most instances. It prevents
flatulence and fermentations and that "the solution, either strong or
diluted in varying proportions, speedily removes thrush."
This case touches a homeopathic characteristic of Sulo-ac.
Ulcerative inflammation of the mouth. It has cured this in the
potencies. The headache of Sul. ac. is better by vomiting.
C. Wootton tasted the acid with this result it at once stopped the
mucous secretion of the bowels. The constipation was so severe that he
was in misery for nine months, until he took Hydr., which cured. The
use of Sulo-ac. as a hair-wash at a later time produced the same
result.
COMPARE - (1) Sulph. in ulcerated sore mouth, Nat-m., Caps.,
Sul-ac. (2) The effects on the back recorded by Hahnemann as from the
fumes of burning Sulphur were antidoted by electricity. (3) Brom.

COMMENTS - Nebel has used Tub. in exactly the same way as Burnett and
others have used Bac., on the indications Burnett laid down and with
Burnett's results. In 1892 Arnuphy began giving Tub. 6x and 8x
trituration in acute and chronic tuberculosis cases, with encouraging
success, but with at times undesired aggravations with 12x and 30x
these were avoided.
In one case originating in influenza, both apices were affected,
the right one breaking down and abundant pleuritic effusion on the left
side. Six weeks' treatment with Tub. brought about recovery and seen a
year later the patient was quite well except for retraction of the left
side.
Arnuphy considers that Tub. is frequently the remedy for
bronchitis, catarrhal pneumonia, lobular pneumonia, tubercular
pleurisy, parenchymatous nephritis and influenza. He gives two cases of
acute lobular pneumonia with characteristic symptoms and high
temperatures quickly resolved by Tub.
One was in a boy of three who received the 12x, the other was a
man, 78, being a sufferer from chronic bronchial catarrh. The latter
was taken with influenza, pneumonia developed and he was in a very
serious state. Tub. 30x made an almost immediate change for the better
and recovery followed.
Arnuphy relates that in this case an abundant perspiration took
place (the skin had been dry) during the night and he has observed this
in all cases of pneumonia when Tub. acted favorably. Clarke has found
Tub. 30c, 100c, 200c and 1000c the best general antidote to the chronic
effects of influenza poisoning.
A curious use has been made of Tub. by Jauregg of Vienna in a case
of insanity. Having observed that cases of insanity are always
benefited by an attack of an acute infectious disease, especially if it
is accompanied with high fever.
The idea occurred to him of utilizing the fever produced by Koch's
Tuberculinic injections. He tried it on some patients and though the
decidedly favorable symptoms soon disappeared after the fever subsided,
still there was a steady clearing of the confused sensorium. Insanity
is very frequently a manifestation of the tuberculosis miasm and there
is something more than a pyrexial power in Tub. Fatigue, faintness,
profuse debility are frequent symptoms.
Great weakness in the limbs after dinner: this at times amounts to
paralysis. The circulation is always disturbed, chills and flushes
alternating. "Shivering when beginning to sleep" is a peculiar and
interesting symptom, also "cold feet in bed," which is common in
persons of low vital reaction.
COMPARE - (1) Bacil., Phos., Sil. (2) Tub. Aviare, Formic acid.
Stann., (3) Psor., Lach. Kalagua. (4) Teucrium scoradonia -
tuberculosis, garlicky odor of all secretions and breath.
RELATIONS - Vaccinosis may block the way of action of Tuberculinum
until Thuja has been given. When Tuberculinum fails Syphilinum often
follows, producing a positive reaction. Complementary: Bac., Phos.,
Calc., Chin., Bry.
SOURCES - Boericke. Clarke. Phatak.
