I. PHILOSOPHY

1. The Role of JUNG’s Concept of Shadow in

Homeopathic Treatment

CICCHETTI, Jane (AJHM. 97, 1/2004)

Using Carl JUNG’s concept of the shadow, the

author describes its relevance to homeopathic case

analysis and prescribing. This darker, repressed

side of an individual is often revealed in dreams.

The proper analysis of dreams, which should be

based primarily upon the dreamer’s own sense of

their meaning, often reveal core psychological

issues that can be critical to identifying the

homeopathic simillimum.

2. The Fundamentalist Controversy:

An issue That won’t Go Away

MOSKOWITZ, Richard (AJHM. 97, 1/2004)

The author provides a comprehensive overview

of the current controversy between what Dr.

MOSKOWITZ terms the “Fundamentalists” and

the “Innovators” in Homeopathy, flavored with his

own viewpoint on the matter, one acknowledges

much of the recent innovations for their value in

effective case analysis and remedy selection.

Clearly, in Dr. MOSKOWITZ’s view, the

arguments of both sides have merit; thus, rather

than attack each other and further divide

homeopaths, he recommends that everyone

respectfully agree to disagree.

[This article is very interesting and scholarly.

However, it says ‘live’ and ‘let live’ to so-called

“Fundamentalists” and the “Innovators”. We agree.

It is not a quarrel that anyone should mediate. It is

only about ‘what is right’ = KSS].

3. The Evolution of Homeopathy

PITT, Richard (AJHM. 97, 1/2004)

Homeopathy, like all living things, is in a

constant state of evolution. This evolutionary

impulse is part of the natural development of all

systems and it requires the ability to evaluate the

impact of these changes on the philosophy and

practice of Homeopathy. The very boundaries of

the definitions of homeopathic practice will

inevitably be challenged as part of this evolutionary

shift, one that requires both flexibility and rigidity.

This article seeks to explore some of the

underlying dynamics and patterns of this

evolutionary change and at the same time to put

Homeopathy into a broader philosophical, social

and cultural framework. The premise of the article

is that Homeopathy is but one system of thinking,

which is connected to and impacted by much

broader evolutionary dynamics, and which, through

their exploration, can help us understand our own

struggles and debates within Homeopathy.

The article seeks to put forward a proposition

that as part of the evolution of Homeopathy itself

the onus is on those practicing the homeopathic art,

that the consciousness of Homeopathy will evolve

through those practicing it. It seeks to put

Homeopathy into a wider framework of thinking,

one that can reveal the implications of the holistic

philosophy and practice of Homeopathy and

identify it with other similar modes of thinking.

4. Health: An Integral Approach

SHARMA, Arati (CCR. 11, 1/2004)

4

This brief article puts succinctly the ideas of

The Mother which is totally in agreement with the

homeopathic Philosophy.

The ‘integral’ healing is the ideal. “An illness

of the body is always the outer expression and

translation of a disorder, a disharmony in the inner

being; unless this inner disorder is healed, the outer

cure cannot be total and permanent.” Healing

means to rediscover and restore communication

with our inner self.

5. Linear versus non-linear systems

WANSBROUGH, Charles (HL. 16, 2/2003)

This is a thought-provoking essay. In the

opening paragraphs Paul DAVIES is quoted

extensively to explain the expressions ‘linear’,

‘non-linear’. The author goes on to explain that

homeopathic principles and philosophy fall under

‘non-linear System’.

--------------------------------------------------------------

II. MATERIA MEDICA

1. A Proving of Larrea tridentata

MESSER, Stephen; CAGE, Arlan; OKSMAN,

Linda; BEDELL, Sarah; ELLER, Dawn and

AUSTIN, Jane (SIM. XVII, 1/2004)

The Proving was conducted at The Southwest

College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health

Sciences, Tempe, AZ in October 2002, using 30

potency, t.d.s. for 7 days or until valid symptoms

appear, by 11 provers in a double blind study.

The most common medicinal uses include:

G.I.Complaints, Genito-Urinary tract conditions,

PMS, Dysmenorrhoea, Arthritis, Auto Immune

conditions, Wounds and Skin Infections and

possibly as both an abortifacient and to promote

fertility.

The Proving symptoms are given and

concluded that reproving will verify the symptoms

as well as generate new ones and will help to speed

up the introduction of this remedy into clinical use.

2. Arzneimittelselbsterfahrung mit Taxus baccata

(Remedy Proving on self with Taxus baccata)

ABERMANN, Christoph and

PUSCHKAREKI, Mathias (ZKH. 48, 1/2004)

Taxus baccata was selected for the Proving

because it was a known remedy but with a poor

record of provings. This Proving was conducted in

1998 in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, in

which 19 persons participated. The central themes

that emerged were symptoms of Depression in

combination with feelings of Forsakenness;

awareness of social responsibility with a desire to

help where help is needed, as well as a feeling of

helplessness when helping was not possible. The

most salient physical symptoms were localized

sensations of heat and redness, fatigue and throat

symptoms.

3. Bryonia

LAPY, Benoit (RBH. XXXVIIIb, 3/2003)

A thorough study of the remedy Bryonia with

reference to the Repertory, Provings. Although it

was Bryonia alba which was proved, recently

Bryonia dioica is being sold by the Pharmacies.

This study includes Bryonia dioica.

4. Pulsatilla

FLOUR, Agnès (RBH. XXXVIIIb, 3/2003)

This is an extensive study of Pulsatilla

pratensis, including the miasmatic aspects.

5. Juglans regia

(CCRH. 26, 1/2004)

The first Proving of Walnut – Juglans regia

was by Cloter MÜLLER in association with his

father Moritz MÜLLER, in 1846 and 155

symptoms were reported.

The CCRH has carried out ‘Clinical

verification’ of this remedy and tabulated the

results. It is seen from this that it has been

prescribed in much more cases of skin eruptions,

with good results. Seven females with leucorrhoea

were prescribed this remedy and all of them were

relieved.

A ‘drug picture’ and ‘Prescribing Symptoms’

on the basis of the ‘Clinical verifications’ have

been drawn, which we may note for further

verification.

Drug picture:

• Occipital sharp headache < in evening and

after dinner

• Pain above the eyes < motion, shaking head,

moving eyes

• Otorrhoea, yellowish pus like discharge with

pain

7. A Clinical Study of Physostigma venenosum

in the Improvement of Progressive Myopia

BASU T.K. (HH. 28, 11/2003)

The Progressive Myopia of 75 patients was

determined following the examination of defective

9

vision, retinoscopy study, ophthalmoscopic

examination of the fundus and slit-lamp

examination of fundus stereoscopically under high

magnification.

Physostigma venenosum is a climbing plant

found near the bank of Niger river of South Africa.

It belongs to the family Leguminosae. Common

name Calabar bean. The alcoholic tincture is

prepared from pulverized bean and triturations are

made from whole bean.

Physostigma was prescribed on the basis of

homeopathic philosophy only to those patients

who had the symptomatology.

Placebo group 20 patients.

Physostigma group 55 patients.

Much improvement of vision in 74.5%.

Slight improvement of vision in 19.05%.

No improvement of vision in 6.3%.

In placebo group, no improvement observed in

12.5%. Gradual loss in vision in 87.5% cases.

Dr. BASU has shown a relation of Myopia

with Glaucoma in his paper ‘Role of Physostigma

in Simple Myopia’. The Progressive Myopia was

due to long-continued over-use with symptoms of

irritability, dull pain after using the eyes, muscae

volitantes, flashes of light, twitching of lids, etc.,

and Physostigma venenosum is one of the important

drugs which can give good and favorable result.

8. Variolinum, Vaccininum and Malandrinum –

The Powerful Smallpox Nosodes and their

therapeutic use

SCHEIWILLER-MURALT, Erika

(HL. 16, 2/2003)

Ten years ago, Dr.Erika SCHEIWILLER-

MURALT found that Smallpox Nosodes such as

Variolinum, Vaccininum and Malandrinum are able

to cure deep-rooted disorders in cases where well-

chosen homeopathic remedies have failed. These

Nosodes are most powerful, and their effects are

deep, long lasting and surprisingly fast.

The whole of mankind has been in contact with

Smallpox, leaving a deep-rooted disorder in later

generations. The powerful healing effects of the

Smallpox Nosodes are demonstrated in a case study

with 120 patients, taking Variolinum as an example.

The differentiation between Variolinum,

Vaccininum and Malandrinum are mentioned. As

the symptoms and modalities of the three Nosodes

are very similar to each other, it is the intensity and

frequency of a complaint that makes the difference

between them.

Finally, the author presents, on the basis of her

practical experience, a table she has developed over

ten years of research. This table is easy to

comprehend and will help a great deal in choosing

the Nosode which will be most beneficial.

9. The Toxicology of Psilocybe semilanceata –

The Liberty Cap

BONNET M.S.; DAWSON & BONNET D.L.

(HL. 16, 2/2003)

Dr. M.S. BONNET has, in the past, contributed

‘toxicology’ of several creatures. In this paper, he

examines the biological, medical and toxicological

aspects of the mushroom, Psilocybe semilanceata,

the Liberty Cap. It is placed taxonomically and

examined in regard to its structure, distribution and

toxic/hallucinogenic components, for which this

fungus has been used in social rites for thousands of

years. The Materia Medica based on human and

animal intoxication is enumerated in detail,

following the order of classical homeopathic

repertories. Laboratory values of affected victims

are compared to normal values.

The Synthesis Repertory refers to ‘Psil.’ for

‘Psilocybe caerulescens’ which is a different

species with several varieties.

All experimental signs and symptoms are from

mammal experiments only; apes, cats, dogs, guinea

pigs, mice, monkeys, rabbits, rats, etc.

III. THERAPEUTICS

1. Lyssin: A Rabid remedy for Rage

ULLMAN, Robert (SIM. XVII, 1/2004)

Case 1: Kevin, 11, since 3 years of age began

his assaultive tantrums. After the tantrum, he felt

bad and would often apologize. He was also

destructive. He did not like being teased. Scared of

dark. Loved dogs and hated cats. Threatened

people

with knives. He had history of

Streptococcal Tonsillitis, Otitis Media and

Enuresis.

First dose was Lyssin M and 12 daily. Had an

initial aggravation for 2 weeks and then began to

improve. He was less destructive and calmed

down. Now he was intensely afraid of the dark and

being alone at night. Stramonium 200. After 5

months another dose of Lyssin M and 12 daily –

because of relapse.

Mother thought he was better when he took

Lyssin 12c regularly. He hated swimming and

would not get in the pool for anything. Followed

up for 18 months. His teacher said “he’s not the

same boy.”

in June 2002. Advised by Catherine COULTER,

she began a course of Carcinosin 200 and Aurum

7. What to expect when old symptoms return

HYDE, Rosemary C. (HT. 23, 3/2003)

A series of old symptoms can occur at different

times during a longer course of homeopathic

treatment. These symptoms are generally short-

lived and significantly less uncomfortable than one

might expect. Knowing what to expect can

reassure people that a return of old symptoms can

be a good sign, especially if it is accompanied with

general feeling of improvement. Two case

examples are given.

REICHENBERG-ULLMAN, Judyth

(HT. 23, 4/2003)

11

The various presentations of Autism are

discussed and the increase of the cases is suspected

with large number of vaccines being administered.

The progress under homeopathic care depends

on where the child falls on the autistic spectrum to

begin with, how clear an understanding the

homeopath can attain of the child and how well the

homeopathic remedy fits the child.

The author has discussed his approach and how

parents can support the treatment.

10. A beautiful mind

ULLMAN, Robert (HT. 23, 4/2003)

lasting benefit. With the experience of treating 2

other cases of similar nature, Silica 200 was given

which also covered the totality.

better. He enjoyed playing with other children.

Over 18 months he was given 3 doses of Silica 200

and a dose of 1M. He is more interactive, language

is now age-appropriate. He has calmed down. No

echolalia.

11. A case of Attention Deficit Disorder

MESSER, Stephen (HT. 23, 4/2003)

14. A case of Chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia

FLEISHER, Mitchell A. (HT. 23, 4/2003)

The author describes Dr. Divya CHHABRA’s

‘free association’ and ‘circle analysis’ method of

case taking, which enables the homeopath to reach

through the subconscious level of dreams to the

deep seated core delusion, which manifests as the

symptoms of imbalance and illness.

This is illustrated with a case of a 56-year-old

female with Chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia.

Translating her symptoms into rubrics of mind:

Jealousy; Suspicious; Malicious; Censorius;

Mocking; Sarcasm. Dream rubrics: Falling and

persecuted by devils; deserving of divine

retribution. Agitated, restless legs, tremulous,

anxiety from reprimands. Violence, striking

himself, striking walls. Waking 2-4 a.m.

Kali bromatum 200, single dose.

Two months later, significantly better. Had

developed very itchy groin rash. Two months later,

rash worse and it cleared only after antifungal

medication. Ten months later, picture changed.

Now fright, hypervigilance, impulse for violence

and childish hiding. Stramonium 200, single dose.

Two months later, significantly better, with

more energy and less anxiety. Relapse seven

months later and no response to repetition of the

remedy.

A thorough re-examination was made:

1. Fear of reprimand; of something happening,

catastrophes.

2. General detachment from others; living in a

world of his own creation practicing pure

mathematics.

3. Unique ability for dates.

4. Childish quality, unable to care for himself.

5. Guilty feelings, delusion he was a failure.

6. Picking at himself, striking himself, biting his

nails, reproaching himself, eccentricity.

Bufo rana was given and seven year follow-up,

with repetition in high potency about 6 times with

decreasing frequency.

This led to an increasing restoration of health.

The author opines the first two remedies acted

palliatively. They definitely halted the decline and

deterioration of the case, but did not restore health.

16. A Case of Tourette’s Syndrome

LEVATIN, Janet (AJHM. 97, 1/2004)

17. Die begleitende Behandlung von Karies und

Mineralisationsstörungen

(The treatment of Consequences of Caries and

affections due to mineralisation)

FELDHAUS, Heinz-Werner

(AHZ. 249, 1/2004)

Caries is not only the result of sugar

consumption and the infestation by bacteria, but has

to be considered rather as a disorder of the whole

organism. Therefore it can only be regarded as a

local symptom, which can be used by the

homeopathic practitioner and dental practitioner in

the process of finding the simile. This article

presents the holistic approach and some main

remedies on the basis of their local symptoms.

(Kreosotum, Staphysagria, Thuja occidentalis,

Silicea - Acidum silicicum, Sepia, Natrum

muriaticum, Natrum carbonicum, Calcium

carbonicum/phosphoricum/fluoratum).

20. Homöopathie bei Infektionskrankheiten im

Mund und Rachen (Homeopathy in Infectious

Diseases of Mouth and Throat)

FRIESE, Karl-Heinz (AHZ. 249, 1/2004)

13

All infectious diseases of the mouth and throat

can be well treated by Homeopathy because this

part of the body is easy to be observed and

remedies can be given by the colour of the mucous

membranes. Regularly the diseases are treated

quicker by homeopathic remedies than by

conventional medicine which is able to treat viral

diseases only symptomatically not causally. This is

the difference of Homeopathy. The most common

remedies in mouth and throat diseases are

Belladonna, Apis, Mercurius solubilis, Hepar

sulphuris, Borax, Kali bichromicum and Kali

iodatum.

Kinderonkologie in LKH Klagenfurt

(Homeopathic treatment in Children’s

Oncology Department of the Klagenfurt

Hospital, Austria)

PICHLER, Erfried (AHZ. 249, 2/2004)

Establishing Homeopathy in public hospitals

of Austria is difficult because acknowledgement is

lacking. Nevertheless some homeopathic

outpatient departments have been founded in the

last years.

Since last 5 years, it has been possible to treat

children in the Children’s Oncologic Department of

Klagenfurt’s Hospital, with Homeopathy in

addition to conventional therapy. Radar Computer

Programme or the Synthesis in book form is used.

Generally one remedy is given and in exceptional

cases two and in very rare circumstances three in a

the beginning.

Two cases show the homeopathic course of

treatment.

Anaphylaktischer Schock (Homeopathic

Treatment of Emergencies)

BÜNDNER, Martin (AHZ. 249, 2/2004)

There is, in the mind of som, that Homeopathy

can be applied only in Chronic or harmless acute

diseases. Homeopathic treatment also can show

best results in very acute and life-threatening

diseases. In this case a baby got an anaphylactic

shock after eating chicken protein and is treated

with Belladonna.

26. Mercurius solubulis und die Beweglichkeit

(Mercurius solubulis and mobility)

MEYER-KÖNIG, Peter (AHZ. 249, 2/2004)

In 1994, the parent of a twin children reported

that the cough of his two children who had been

given Mercurius solubilis had slowly gone away.

But there was also a surprising effect. The children

could crawl better after the Mercurius solubilis.

A group of 25 infants in robbing age between

11 upto 18 months gained a perfect ability for

crawling within a few days after Mercurius

solubulis.

The pathology of this disorder is also

explained.

In regard to this article Dr. Heinz PSCHEIDL

writes in the Letter to the Editor, AHZ. 249,

4/2004: All symptoms which Mercurius can heal,

Quicksilver (e.g. Amalgam) must be able to

produce. I have the mothers to do away with

14

Amalgam fillings, in appropriate cases – at time of

becoming pregnant (ref § 7, 67 FN). Many

Quicksilver intoxicated patient react to Mercurius

with severe aggravation. Others develop follow-up

ailments.

In further response Dr. MEYER-KÖNIG

discusses the aggravations and other adverse effects

of Mercury-dental Amalgam.

27. Warzen – eine Chronische Erkrankung (Warts

TOST, Katharina (ZKH. 48, 1/2004)

The importance of Warts as a sign of a Chronic

Disease as well as the therapeutic instructions of

HAHNEMANN are presented by means of the

Organon. The therapy of Warts is described in

three cases in which homeopathic remedies are

chosen according to the totality of the symptoms.

28. Akuter Myokardinfarkt (Acute Myocardial

Infarction)

BÜNDNER, Martin (ZKH. 48, 1/2004)

An acute Myocardial Infarction is diagnosed

by laboratory and electrocardiography. An

echocardiography confirms Hypokinesia which is

associated with infarction of heart muscle. After

homeopathic treatment a coronary angiography

was carried out in the following but there was no

Coronary Stenosis or other indications for

Myocardial Lesion.

29. Uterine Fibroids: A Clinical Study with USG

Follow-up

GUPTA, Girish; GUPTA, Naveen; SINGH,

in significant number of cases avoiding surgery

which has been the lone option in Allopathy.

cured, 21 were best improving showing more than

50% reduction in the size of fibroid, 64 patients

showed significant improvement, 31 maintained

status quo and 21 patients did not improve, 4 cases

could not be reliably evaluated due to confusing

Ultrasonography reports. Two cases were

Nabothian Cysts and both were cured. The overall

results of this study is encouraging.

31. Cancer

DHAR, Bansi and BHATNAGAR, Pankaj

(NJH. 5, 3/2003)

spots on face. No further relief. Lachesis XM (3

doses o.d.) [June 2001 to August 2001: M, four

the right knee causing pain when rising and sitting

down. Attacks of sneezing morning and evening.

complaints remained.

It is interesting to note that Allium sativa

caused cheek ulcer in him. But his Cholesterol

came down.

[I feel bewildered; 30 potency repeated for

days together; 200, 1M, 10M too repeated. What is

the justification for Natrum muriaticum 200–three

powders? And Lycopodium 200-four powders!

Graphites M four doses and XM every 15 minutes

three doses!! Why 15 minutes? Why not 10

minutes or 20 minutes or for that matter every 5

minutes. What are the rules for these games? Or

are there no rules? And it is all a rule of the thumb?

Pardon me please=KSS]

39. My Learning Curve

SHAH, Bhavani (NJH. 5, 3/2003)

20-year-old student of Engineering with

complaints of frontal headache since 1984, <since

1999, as if some swelling inside head, < from

exertion, change of weather, exposure to sun, cold.

Concomitant: head feels hot, cold milk vomited,

bangs his head so that all will come out, drenching

sweat of head, Tense. Mother died of Leukaemia.

Depression after his lover girl ditched him. Natrum

muriaticum 200 one dose weekly for three months.

[The young doctor says that as students, the

importance of single dose was not impressed upon

and that they repeated what they saw in the OPD!

This remark speaks volumes about the

homeopathic education. No purpose in blaming

the students=KSS]

40. Dramatic Cases

PARTHASARATHY V. (NJH. 5, 3/2003)

33-year-old man, mechanical Engineer, now

into trading. Renal stones, pain in right lumbar

region, with increased urine frequency with

vomiting; pain > after vomiting, agg. 2-4 p.m., 6-7

p.m. 4 stones, obese, nail biting, desires sweets,

salt, meat.

Thuja occidentalis 200/7 doses (!) at intervals

of about two weeks, then Thuja M/10 doses (!!!) at

intervals of 15-20 days. Cured. USG confirmed.

[We see no reason or rationale for so many doses of

high potency Thuja. Has not HAHNEMANN said

that the same potency should not be repeated? =

KSS]

41. A Case of Prolapse of Inter-vertebral Discs

KAPSE, Anand (NJH. 5, 4/2003)

70-year-old female, three children. Pain left

lumbo-sacral joint, sudden onset, amel. traction,

raising the leg up. Burning soles, fingers, since 7-8

years; amel. cold water, left thigh, right thigh

occasional pains > cold application on head, agg.

night. Throbbing pain, knees since 20 years. No

swelling, agg. sitting/flexing knees, amel. hot

fomentations. Maculo-Papular eruptions, watery

discharge, exertional dyspnoea. X-ray: mild to

moderate Osteoarthritis of the left knee joint.

Sepia 200 repeated daily for 10 days. Then

Thuja 200 and Sepia 200 again for six days. Frozen

shoulder also relieved.

42. Homeopathic Approach to Osteoarthritis

KAPSE, Anand; PHANSE, Anagha &

DATEY, Sonali (NJH. 5, 4/2003)

5 cases of Osteoarthritis successfully treated

homeopathically. Most of the cases needed Thuja

as intercurrent. In some patients Osteoarthritic

Nosode 30 was also used.

43. Homeopathic Management of Disorders of

Lumbar Inter-vertebral Discs

RASAL, Prasad (NJH. 5, 4/2003)

Degenerative disc disease wide spread, severe

lumbar canal stenosis. Was on traction for long.

17

Homeopathic treatment: Lachesis 200 one dose, on

next day Bryonia XM t.d.s. for ten days. Also

Calcarea fluorica 6x t.d.s. for ten days. Patient

improved and could walk a km. Continued with

Calcarea fluorica 6x b.d. for a month and then o.d.

for two months. One dose Tuberculinum M

(antimiasmatic). [Such prescriptions are really

bewildering. It would appear that Calcarea

fluorica really did more benefit than the Bryonia

XM t.d.s. for 10 days=KSS]

44. The Man who slipped on every occasion

PARTHASARATHY V. (NJH. 5, 4/2003)

A man 42 years, with complaints of calf pain

and numbness after slipped disc L4-5 an year ago.

doses over a period. Thuja 200, M as ‘intercurrent.’

45. Homeopathy handles Pneumonitis

JUNAGADE, Sachin and PAWASKAR, Navin

(NJH. 5, 4/2003)

25-year-old lady with complaints of cough and

high grade fever. Couldn’t walk by herself. Her

complaints began 12 days ago after drinking cold

water. Developed coryza. 5 days later wetted and

th

day

‘restore’ pathology. Complete radiological

clearance on day 10. Calcarea carbonica 200, 1

dose ‘Constitutional follow-through’.

46. Cancer

BHATNAGAR, Pankaj (NJH. 5, 4/2003)

Dr. BHATNAGAR lists the ‘Indian’ Drugs and

their indications used by him in homeopathic

potencies, and also as mother tinctures – 38 herbs.

He also lists over 100 remedies from the

homeopathic Pharmacopoeia.

47. Post-vaccination Syndrome

SMITS, Tinus (NAMAH. 11, 4/2004)

Homeopathic practice has recognized that

chronic complaints can develop following

vaccination, ever since general introduction of the

Smallpox vaccination in the 19

th

century. For many

years, Thuja was acknowledged by homeopaths as

proven remedy for these complaints, whose

treatment appeared to be less than satisfactory.

Vaccines appear to have more side-effects than has

hitherto been accepted. These vaccinations can be

responsible for both acute and chronic health

problems.

A large number of these symptom are

frequently cited in the literature as post-vaccination

symptoms: other symptoms are own observations.

In this context any symptom that manifests itself

after treatment with potentised vaccine is deduced

as caused by the vaccine concerned. It must be

accepted that each vaccine can be responsible for

several symptoms like loss of eye contact,

squinting, inflammation of the middle ear,

Bronchitis, etc., Diabetes, etc., lack of

concentration, etc., behavioral problems etc. If a

vaccine is the cause of an ailment, the same vaccine

in a homeopathic potentised dilution is the

perfectly corresponding remedy. Basic description

of the ‘post vaccination syndrome’:

The homeopathic method, general principle

and treatment, prevention, injury to the general

defence mechanism, misconduct, changes in mood,

implied obstacles to the acceptance of the post-

vaccination syndrome, Research,

Recommendations are cited by Dr. Tinus SMITS.

50. Homeopathy in Children’s Ailments

PATWARDHAN, Prabha (CCR. 11, 1/2004)

The author is a Paediatrician. She says that

children are usually brought to the Paediatrician

for:

i. Mental ailments, e.g.:

Excessive crying

Hyperactivity

Mental dullness/retardation

School phobia

Examination phobia

Phobia in general

Dyslexia

Aggressive behavior

Excessive timidity

Stammering

Convulsion

Tics

Behavior disorders

Bed wetting

Masturbation

ii. Physical ailments, e.g.:

Respiratory problems

Gastrointestinal tract/diarrhoea, constipation,

worms

Skin and hair

Teeth problems

Urinary infections, etc.

However, in Homeopathy these divisions do

not matter much.

Twelve cases are discussed, all interesting and

instructive.

Dr. PATWARDHAN appends a ‘Note’ on

DPT Vaccine.

“It contains Formaldehyde, Mercury

derivative, Alum phosphate and damages the

immune and nervous system. Linked to Sudden

Infant Death Syndrome (SID), Brain damage,

Autism, Blindness, Epilepsy, Learning disability,

Hyperactivity and Dyslexia. Useful in delicate,

sensitive children with weak, damaged or under-

developed immune system. Children have frequent

colds, cough and long continued coughing spells

like Whooping cough, Asthma, Visual perception

problems, Auditory processing deficit, Fine motor

delay, Attention span deficit, Insomnia.

Children are nervous, trembly and fearful,

show sudden fear while playing. Hyperactive,

explosive, out of control, unable to sit for more than

a few minutes. Arch back while crying. Milk

aggravation, Loss of appetite, Projectile vomiting,

Chronic diarrhoea, sleep walking at night

frequently, Scream for long periods for no apparent

reason.

When the parents link a particular ailment as

having started after a shot of DPT vaccine, it is

worthwhile giving a dose of DPT in potency,

particularly if the child cried for a very long time

and the site of injection was swollen, painful and

inflamed for long time.

Dr. Prabha PATWARDHAN has contributed

32 case studies covering different disease states,

both acute and chronic. Very interesting in all.

55. Heart and Homeopathy

CHANDRAN A.P. (HH. 28, 10/2003)

The moment we get a small pain in the chest

area we fear about some heart disease and become

panicky. Illustrates a case of 73-year-old man

cured with Nux vomica M. This was repeated twice

because he took Aspirin. Patient remains well.

56. The successful homeopathic treatment of

HIV/AIDS

CHAPPELL, Peter (HL. 16, 2/2003)

The author discusses his experience with

treating HIV/AIDS in Africa in 2002, with

Homeopathy. This work, he says, became the

biggest experience in his life. “I had little support,

financial or otherwise, and enormous challenges to

face seemingly daily. I had to work intimately in

the consulting room under trying circumstances and

to think globally all the time. I also had to rethink

Homeopathy. It was also harrowing. I had to

attend funerals and the desperately sick in hospitals.

I had to refuse dying patients where there was no

alternative to offer. I had to be very compassionate

and highly reflective. I had no mentors within

reach by phone or in person. …. I ran out of money

twice, down to the wire, the last $100, and my

friends rescued me ….. My first observation is that

if you are deeply inspired you can move mountains.

My next observation is that when you really need

funds for something that’s radical, incredibly

21

uncertain, amazing in potential, yet unbelievable,

and Homeopathy, you don’t get it except from

your own bank account and that of friends.” The

author prepared his own HIV/AIDS medicine, after

long observation. The method is as follows:

Select the disease process,

Reduce it to its essential core process,

Create a magnetic analogue a fractal similarity

to the disease process.

Potentise this. [This is Homeopathy?! = KSS]

57. My son needs Consciousness – A case of

ADHD.

FONTAINE, Pierre (HL. 16, 2/2003)

An 8-year-old boy with Attention Deficit

Hypertensive Disorder (ADHD). History of ear

infections. Can’t stay on tasks or follow directions.

A loner; usually hot. Has a cracked lower lip.

Absolute inability to focus any kind of attention.

Dreamt that he was “on a boat, the whole family

gets off the boat and I go home but my parents are

not at home. I pound on the door but the door is

locked. I watch T.V., when it is almost time to go

to bed a T-rex crashed through the ceiling. A

helicopter chases me trying to kill me with water.

The T-rex swats the helicopter and saves me. We

then go to sleep.” Likes meat and sour.

The mother’s state during pregnancy and her

dreams are enquired into.

Using Jan SCHOLTEN’s thematics the remedy

Natrum iodatum 30 is given. Improvement. To

clear an intervening cough, sneezing, sore throat,

Phytolacca 30 given. The Natrum iodatum 30 is

repeated. Two year follow-up. The boy is well.

58. A Ditsy girl

FONTAINE, Pierre (HL. 16, 2/2003)

25-year-old woman with anxieties for the past

two years. They started at the beginning of a

relationship. Playing with fingers a lot. Wanted

something for the anxiety and depression. Her

story revealed that she lived superficially and for all

that glitters.

Using Jan SCHOLTEN’s thematics, Natrum

fluoratum M is administered.

One-year follow-up during which time this

remedy is repeated four times.

59. I am untouchable

MANGIALAVORI, Massimo (HL. 16,

2/2003)

A 20-year-old young cadet of the Military

Academy of Modena who had severe injuries while

horse-riding and developed backache and many

other pains. His case is taken in detail and

repertorized on the symptoms chosen from the

totality. Arnica XM, repeated, then 50M. Follow-

up one year. Well.

This is a very interesting case and teaches

choice of the rubrics from the whole story.

60. A Case of Diabetes Mellitus, Type-II

HOLIDA, Robert (HH. 29, 3/2004)

A 52-year-old male high school teacher

presents with polydipsia and polyuria. Glonoine

200 was prescribed for Blood Pressure which had

come down from 160/110 to 140/90 an year ago.

Glonoine was alternated with Crataegus D1. On

the basis Diabetes being preceded and being

concomitant dyspepsia Uranium nitricum 6c was

given. It was alternated with Olea europea D1, 20

drops t.d.s. One week later improvement in

micturition and polydipsia. The glycosuria was still

evident. Olea europea 50 drops t.d.s., p.c. One

month later improvement was so great that he did

not feel he had disease anymore.

3 months later Uranium nitricum 6c b.d. and

Olea europea D1 b.d. Then his B.P. was stable at

125/80 mm Hg.

During the first consultation he was taken off

his favourite foods like cakes, all sweet foods, his

favourite juice etc. On the last two visits he had

taken some cakes and concentrated drinks a day

before. After a month B.P. was normal. He is still

on Uranium nitricum.

IV. REPERTORY

1. Korrektur einer Rubrik in Synthetischen

Repertorium (Correction of a Rubric in the

Synthetic Repertory)

HOLZAPFEL, Klaus (ZKH. 48, 1/2004)

The Rubric “Speech affected” has been

translated incorrectly into German and French
