71. Alternating Symptoms in the Homœopathic
Treatment of Bipolar Disorder. Platinum
metallicum: A case Report
WHEELER, Marium; OSKIN, Jamie;
LANGLAND, Jeffry (AJHM. 108, 4/2015)
Due to the oscillating nature of the symptoms
within rapid cycling or cyclothymic bipolar disorder,
an accurate homœopathic prescription must produce
alternating symptoms within the drug’s primary
action in order to most similarly match the disease
state of the patient. By example, this case report
presents the homœopathic treatment of a patient with
diagnoses of bipolar disorder, attention deficit
disorder, and anxiety. The patient previously
underwent conventional treatment for several years,
but was dissatisfied with the outcome and sought
alternative treatment. The patient was prescribed
Platina metallicum because of its similarity to the
distinctive (characteristic) symptoms of the “case of
disease,” (Organon, §153). Within two months of
treatment, episodes of mania, depression, and
anxiety had stopped. After one year, the patient
demonstrated continued improvement without
relapses in bipolar episodes. This case presents an
important example of Platinum metallicum’s
alternating symptoms within its primary action,
which makes it a valuable remedy in the
homœopathic treatment of bipolar disorder.

IV. PHARMACOLOGY
1. Die Tinctura acris sine Kali
(The Tincture acris sine Kali)
RISSEL, Roger, BUCHHEIM-SCHMIDT,
Susann and SCHWARZBACH Ralf (ZKH. 62,
2/2018)
In the ZKH, 1/2012 Klaus Hopfel in his
Editorial raised a question Causticum Hahnemanni
– which Causticum? In this had already discussed
earlier, as published in the ZKH about the
preparation of Causticum according to
HAHNEMANN’s directions. It was found that
besides the Kali solution there was another solution
which caused the medicinal Proving of Causticum.
2. Homœopathie aus nanomedizinischer
perspective
(Homœopathy in nano medicinal perspective)
KOCH, Ulrich (ZKH. 62, 3/2018)
Contrary to hitherto assumptions, that the high
potencies in dilution beyond Avogadro’s constant,
no raw material should be traceable, the contrary
could be shown consistently in the last years in
independent trials. Beside nanoparticles in
decreasing sizes in higher potencies, even nano
particles of lactose and silicates could be traced. In
Bell’s model of nanoparticle-allostatic-cross-
adaption-sensitization it is attempted to add these
observations in a display of already existing
