Corona virus and homeopathy _{Page 2 of 5}

Ammonium carbonicum is a very serious candidate for Genus Epidemicus of COVID19, at least in Europe.

Several cures of the coronavirus infection with this remedy have been observed in France, especially for the deep and brutal dyspnea phases.

High dynamisation (200 K, mK, 10mK ...) in liquid dose seems to be the right posology.

If you have the rubrics,kindly post.I was thinking about ANTIM TART taking into account loss of smell taste fatigue etc.

Amon C!
Yes, it has extreme ulcerative tonsil and extreme ulceration in throat. But i haven't seen any symptom of swollen tonsils in corona patient.
Do you have any link where may find proof of the success using Amon C for Corona?

These informations (translated from french) are very recent even if the few clinical cases responded quickly and very well.

CGH : LYING / amel / abdomen, amel on
CGH : DRY / lying / amel
THR : LUMP, plug, sensation of
CHT : PAIN / PRESSING / Heart
CHT : OPPRESSION / Heart
THR : DRYNESS
MTH : TASTE / INSIPID / food tastes
GM : PAIN / DRAWING / Testes

As if the lungs were crushed

I will let you know the new events.

USA and U.K. are telling people that if they
Have no symptoms, but experience loss of taste
And smell- they have the virus and will spread
It if they do not quarantine themselves.

They say 1/3 of people are silent spreaders.

The loss of smell and taste may indicate that the virus has reached the central nervous system and that it has altered some of the neurons involved in these sensations.
If these symptoms are the mechanical consequence of the alteration of neurons, they are more symptoms of the disease than symptoms of the Vital Force of the patient and therefore they are not to be covered in priority by the homeopathic remedy.

My post is intended for people to be aware
And isolate if they lose sense of taste and smell.

You fully right. But in homeopathy a diagnosis is mostly usefull to know what are the symptoms not really important for the choice of the right remedy.
[Edited by Dynamis on 2020-03-23 20:54:56]

Are you a homeopath? Or MD?

I am relaying here the message of Doctor Edouard Broussalian, who runs a French language school of Hahnemanian Homeopathy. Doctor Broussalian was first trained by his father, himself a student of Pierre Schmidt, as well as by the M.D David Little and Farokh Master :

We are beginning to identify the most likely drug in the COVD19 epidemic in France/Switzerland. After having had encouraging cases with Nux-vomica, we finally realized that this drug could be more suitable for influenza forms than for cases of Coronavirus characterized by respiratory failure.

It was only with the hindsight of a few cases authenticated by PCR that we were able to make progress.

We now recommend AMMONIUM CARBONICUM as an epidemic drug.

With only about ten cases to date, we have to wait for at least 50 proven cases to reach a certainty. It is however regrettable to leave sick people without at least attempting to give them this drug. The ridicule in case of failure will be for us.

Ideally, a dose of 200 should be obtained, which can be administered by olfaction or by teaspoonful.

Olfaction: dilute ONE OR TWO GLOBULES with a little 60 proof alcohol or other whisky at your convenience :). Have the patient inhale the solution briefly. Repeat as soon as improvement declines.

Coffee spoon: dilute ONE OR TWO GLOBULES in about 200 ml of mineral water. Administer one teaspoon every half hour depending on the intensity of the symptoms: fever, pain, respiratory discomfort.

In all cases stop taking as soon as the patient gets better.

Marseille, March 22, 2020

Dear Dynamis, if some one feeling loss of smell taste do you recommend Amon C ?
[Edited by speddiraju on 2020-03-25 08:06:52]

Dear Dynamis, We read from the investigations of Covid-19 MUC5B jene deficiency is happening. and Cytokine storm (over reaction of immune system) .. do we know if Amon C works for them ?
What about Biochemic salts Ferrum Phos and Kali Mur(?

Regards,
Sree
[Edited by speddiraju on 2020-03-25 12:27:25]

Answer to speddiraju

I would say yes because :

1- Am-c has an indication for "MTH : TASTE / INSIPID / food tastes"

2- If the lose of smell or taste seems very usefull to make with a high probability a diagnosis of COVID19, we are not sure that it has the same interest for an homeopathic remedy selection. See my previous message on this point.

3- More important are the respiratory failure signs of Am-c with heart oppression, CHT : DRAWN / Lungs, downwards, as if the lungs were crushed.

NEW SYMPTOMS RECEIVED FROM AN EYE SURGEON FRIEND.

It’s so sad to know that The first victim who died in Mayo Hospital Lahore from Covid 19 was an Ophthalmologist🙆🏻‍♂ facts about COVID‑19 for an ophthalmologist

1. Conjunctivitis may be the first symptom of COVID‑19.

2. Patients with COVID‑19 conjunctivitis have the transmissible virus in the tears.

3. Transconjunctival aerosol infection is a known mode of disease transmission.

. Asymptomatic patients with COVID‑19 or patients in incubation can transmit the disease.

5. Close contact during ophthalmic procedures has the risk of patient‑to‑ophthalmologist disease transmission.

Table 2: Five mandatory measures in an ophthalmology
clinic

1. Screen for fever at the point‑of‑entry and elicit a history of travel to affected areas during the incubation period, occupation, contact of suspected or confirmed cases, cluster of cases.

2. Those positive for #1, with no ophthalmic emergency, should be triaged to a designated medical facility.

3. Those positive for #1 with an ophthalmic emergency should be seen by the staff geared in personal protective equipment in an
isolated designated examination room with an isolated waiting
area.

4. Patients with conjunctivitis, with or without # 1, should be seen by the staff geared in personal protective equipment in an isolated designated examination room with an isolated waiting
area.

5. Barrier care including N95 masks for all physically close
ophthalmic procedures and universal precautions for all patients; decontamination of applanation prisms, contact gonioscopy es, laser contact lenses, B‑scan, and ultrasonic biomicroscopy probes, etc.

"Dear friends and colleagues,

A few days ago I had the pleasure to share with some of you my little experience with a very few patients with coronavirus in quarantine, patients which I have never treated before. These case reports serve as a means to consider the most common symptoms; that the individual represents the pathology at this time – the genus epidemicus rather than the individuality
Coronavirus AND Homeopathy

I purposely chose these patients whom I have not met before, because in my private practice current and old patients are being treated with their constitutional. This is what I always do in any acute: prescribe the constitutional first and if need be will seek an acute remedy if there is not response to the constitutional.

Obviously, I realize that each of us can formulate different hypotheses, and that the remedies offered by our pharmacopoeia are numerous and not easy to choose based on what is reported in the literature.

I do not what to write too much regarding these 3 remedies, rather I ant to underline the most common clinical symptoms and to propose a simple categorization.

As of March 22, 2020 I have had telephone and video-conference contacts with about 84 patients. 64 of these overcame their symptoms in a maximum of 3-4 days, without relapses and spontaneously declaring a clear improvement in their coenaesthesis - the way they perceive their general sensations.

Chininum muriaticum has been my first choice . Below are the clinical symptoms that I have observed in common:
Fever that increases in temperature in the early afternoon, resistant to common antipyretics.
Weakness more evident in the evening.
Frontal headache with pressure pain accompanied by more or less intense eye pain (in some with the characteristics of a neuralgia).

Dry and irritated cough, perceived as a "discomfort in the upper respiratory tract."

Poor appetite and little thirst, despite the fever. They prefer salty foods and to not drink water but desire hot drinks.
Victim attitude, without any difficulty in expressing anger towards "other managers" of their pathology. They feel they fell ill despite having done everything possible not to become infected and because of this they feel it was the fault of others who were not paying attention.

Grindelia robusta has been my second choice:

Fever that occurs in 2-3 poussè or moments within 24 hours.
Weakness, especially felt in the early hours of the morning.
Throbbing headache, predominantly occipital, that improves by sitting (in some cases patients would have liked to lie down but the pain did not allow it).

Dry cough but with the feeling of having to expectorate even in the absence of phlegm. The patient insists on getting rid of insignificant amounts of mucus which, when he or she finally manages to expectorate seems to bring relief that is anomalous with the actual quantity of phlegm eliminated.

Paroxysms of apparently suffocating cough.
The patient is aware of anxiety and can hardly distinguish between her or his objective breathing difficulty from the concern of not being able to breathe with a fear that he or she will quickly end up in the hospital.

The patient is worried about falling asleep and several wanted to sleep with the light on, worried about not being able to breathe during sleep.

Conjunctivitis that affects one eye first and then the other.
Joint pains especially in the lower limbs.

More fearful attitude than Chin-m. The Grindelia patients tended to deny their symptoms to family members, with a fear of having inadequate resources. They were aware of their hypochondria and very alarmed that they could not distinguish what is objective vs. subjective.

Camphora (Cinnamomum camphora) has been my third choice:

Fever tends to continue, with no obvious changes during the day. There is a lot of sweating, with chill and accompanied by the sense of incipient fatigue, which gets worse as they continue to sweat.

Headache with a feeling of pressure from the inside to the outside. He or she tries to contain this sensation by exerting external pressure with something that tightly binds the head.
Cough less evident than in the previous two remedies but what is present seems to tire the patient. The cough appears when he pr she inhales deeply. There is a vicious circle that leads her to breathe superficially with the worry of not ventilating sufficiently.

Dyspnea with minimal exertion, not necessarily associated with a true poor oxygen saturation.

Watery and persistent rhinorrhea (post-nasal drip).
Diarrhea without abdominal pain, oliguria perceived with alarm, and more serious than it really is.

Confusion and concern about being dangerous to his or her family members. She is convinced that she is experiencing something significant in her life.

In the hope this will be useful to others,
a warm greeting

FIRST PATIENT WITH COVID-19
PETR ZACHARIAS - HOMEOPATHIC QUIZZES

A few days ago had my first patient with confirmed COVID-19. Here is my first experience:
__________
Young woman with COVID-19 (confirmed), started a week ago.

At first a slightly elevated temperature and chills in the back (2); then it passed, and the next day she developed a sensation of tightness on her chest. Since then, she has been suffering from constant burning in the chest.

For the last seven days, she has been experiencing constant burning in the chest. All these complaints are accompanied by the periodical weakness that comes suddenly. The weakness is so strong that she is forced to lie in bed. These attacks of weakness occur 5-6 times a day.

From the very beginning of these complaints, she has an urge to drink very often in small sips.

RX: Arsenicum album 30 one day and 200 on the next day

Follow-up after 24 hours
Next morning (after Arsenicum 30C) she woke up without burning in the chest. The sensation of tightness on her chest was gone. Since the first dose of Arsenicum album, no single attack of weakness. She felt about 70% better. No thirst for small sips anymore. The next day she is free of symptoms and she feels healthy again.

Devinder Kanda
Dr
My first patient got Eupatorium perf 30/200 with chief indication of bone pain felt in rib area, cured within 24 hours. Interesting thing is AYUSH dept. of INDIA has recommended Arsenicum album as Genus epidemicus for Covid 19.

The testimony of a physician on the use of Ammonium carbonicum in known or suspected cases of present Coronavirus.

Good morning, sir,

I am a retired doctor in the south of France, practicing homeopathy for 40 years. I read the cases reported by Edouard Broussalian (EB) recently on the interest of AM-C in this same forum. Here is my modest contribution to establish AM-C as an epidemic remedy.

Two cases where Ammonium carbonicum helped:

Case 1: A 42-year-old man who lost a grandmother recently diagnosed with Covid (92-year-old with end of life severe disease, admitted to intensive care unit for respiratory problems and tested + with COVID19). He has been living at home with the grandmother.

4 days ago, fever (around 39°) with aches and heavy fatigue. Frontal pain above the sinuses. Desire for acidulous drinks (with lemon). Disturbed taste with metallic taste sensation, sometimes bleach. No disturbed sense of smell but very dry nose. Dry, infrequent cough. Feeling of tightness in the chest, anxiety-provoking.

I had AM-C administered by telephone in 10,000 K, 1 sip every 2 hours. Symptoms improved after 12 hours with return to normal after 24 hours.

Second case: A 37 year old woman who had not been tested but who had been showing the symptoms for 3 days, particularly the high temperature, with marked fatigue (must remain lying down), aches and pains (in fact it is more of a feeling of pressure) and tingling in the legs, partial loss of taste (recognises salty and sweet but other foods have no taste), dryness of the mucous membranes, especially at night: mouth and nose, desire for acidic drinks, absence of cough, need to breathe deeply to catch one's breath, anxiety in the chest and feeling of pressure, fear of having the covid (interpreted as fear of death).

Also AM-C but in 30 CH (supplied by Boiron), 1 teaspoon every 2 hours then 3 times a day if improvement. Everything returned to normal in 24 hours. The taste still persists a little but much less.

In this second case, it is not certain that it is a case of Covid, but the symptoms seem to me to correspond.

For the symptoms of agueusia and anosmia, I think it is more a question of a partial alteration of the taste and smell than a real total disappearance. In addition, I have identified the following symptoms that are also within the purview of AM-C in medical matters:

- the great dryness of the nasal and oral mucous membranes, which could perhaps explain these unpleasant sensations.

- desire and/or need for sour lemon drinks

- the sensation of pressure in the chest, perhaps related to the current markedly anxiety-provoking media climate.

I agree with EB's strong belief in Am-C as a Covid epidemic cure. I have also seen seasonal flus that reacted to Bryonia most often, but the symptoms were not the same, but sometimes similar. I am aware that these 2 cases involve mild forms of Covid, but if we could generalize the use of Am-C at this stage of the disease course, we would probably reduce the more severe cases with respiratory distress and/or severe pneumonia.

In the family of the first case, an aunt of this patient, who is covid positive, is currently in intensive care in Annecy. She has also been close to the deceased grandmother. She has been intubated and on a ventilator for 2 days. The question is, will it be possible to give her in this AM-C resuscitation unit? The family can't visit her.

Good luck fighting this damn virus.

An other testimony today from a MD on Ammonium carbonicum:

Good morning,

I got AM-c two days ago.
In hindsight, as I look back at the kids...
Pooled clinical picture of several children:
incessant coughing agg at night and in the morning with mucus.
lack of appetite with thirst but sometimes without thirst
sometimes nosebleed (2 cases)
abatement,
morning sickness
vomiting after eating or drinking (15 min-20min)
child more or less glued to the parents, sometimes down, wants to sleep easy
Fever up to 41°C

Anyway, at the beginning I went on Phos even though not all of them were bleeding, with a pretty good response but the coughing was still going on.
Sounds like PHOS (vomiting after eating), PULS, BRY (but thirsty all the time).
Indeed there is no particular agitation or anxiety. Night hampered by cough and fever but the children sleep anyway. The nose is slightly caught without being a marked symptom.

Since I spray AM-c 200k on all the children and parents who have cough or fever, with fatigue or low energy and all are better in 24 hours, including 2 parents who had chest tightness and difficulty breathing.

For the symptoms of anosmia, agueusia (KN of Phos), I thought about it and I tell myself that if the allopaths noticed it in the patients it is a sign of the disease and not of the patient. So we can use it to say that the patient is definitely Covid +. I think there are a lot more people than we think are infected.

The Olfaction is enough for the most embarrassed children or parents, I give in solution of 2 granules in 25cl either a spoon directly for adults or after dilution in 1 glass for children. I still miss the management in the following days.

Coronavirus AND Homeopathy
From clinical desk of Dr.Samadhan Ghule

In fact Covid -19 is viral pneumonia complicated from primary symptoms like fever , dry cough , tiredness ,pain in throat and dyspnea , sometime runny nose , nose obstruction , body ache or diarrhea.

As per Homeopathic point of view we form the totality of symptoms of individual case with pathological symptoms in addition to general symptoms including thermal and mental.
Due to horrible scenario in front of world actual medicinal prevention and treatment is neglected and all world is behind mechanical isolation of patients helplessly. Actual there mechanical measures proved very limited in country like Italy and US as respective of social isolation number of patient going to increase , and they are just helpless as unfortunately world is denying preventive and curative action of Homeopathy in such viral cases.

There are many positive views in treatments of these cases. Its self limiting , almost about 80% cases are recovered by their self own immunity.

Coronavirus takes long time about 14 days of incubation to develop it's full picture before that with primary symptoms of Covid -19 we can abort the further prognosis of disease.
Though now it is become pandemic but not panic if some confident well trained Homeopathic Physician take hold over of these cases.

As a routine patient one female consulted with complaints of severe cough , agg.by evening in bed , must sit up,thirstless. Hot and fat.

Some doses of Pulsatilla 0/1 relieved her all complaints with 12 hours and next day all family members enjoyed her fast recovery in these days of coronavirus.

Second one patient came with constant coughing and tiredness all over the body ,
Thin and chilly.
Some doses of Ars.alb 0/1 relieved her all complaints within 2 days
.
In one more case Pulsatilla cured cough with pneumonitis changes in chest x-ray, off course indicated by symptoms.
In this way I found medicines like Puls, Ars as preventive and curative in Corona like symptoms.

Dare to be wise , block down the society but open up the knowledge which can secure your society.

From clinical desk of Dr.Samadhan Ghule

I have a friend's mom who is having corona symptoms since the last 3-4 days.

She's 60, ashthmatic, has diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure.

She has difficulty breathing, she has cough that sometimes hurts the lungs sometimes get better, is very tired, no nasal stuffiness or no runny nose.

She has difficulty walking.

She has dry cough but mucus also (that's what her son told me)

She has shortness of breath

As soon as she eats, she goes to the toilet (son is not sure whether it's diarrhea or not)

Please advise any remedy urgently.

She's cold and has chills

We are in France so please dont advise 1m or 10m, low potencies are more easily available here.
[Edited by syria on 2020-03-29 00:51:38]

What is remedy if there headache, digestive issues and urgency of motion. No fever or cough but episodes of weakness. We have already given Champhora 1M and AM-C.
I have opened a new thread for this. Please advive thru that.

You may continue Arsenicum Album 30
3 pills 3 times a day.
Observe the change carefully.

PLEASE START A NEW POST FOR ALL THE AILMENTS.LET THIS POST BE EXCLUSIVELY ON CORONA VIRUS.

< AGGRAVATION.
>AMELIORATION

I am giving a brief pictures with key features for homeopaths, of the remedies that have worked in corona infected patients and showed very good results according to Dr Jeremy Sherr, who presented cases from Japan, China , Italy , US and UK and their further development.

I tried to make it easier for you to work with I hope it helps.
AFFINITY of Covid19


The affinity of the virus is affecting the respiratory system& lungs and the physical pathology developed is pneumonia, fibrosis, odema ,ARDC.

1)ARSENICUM ALBUM

THIRSTY- CHILLY-RESTLESS MENTALLY BUT PHYSICALLY TOO WEAK-PROSTRATION-PALE FACE /1-2AM
< chill, cold , lying on affected part. 1-2AM
> external heat, moving about,hot drinks, hot applications
Begins with prostration, burning throat, thirst for small amounts of water, high temperature ,restless, chilly and wants to be covered.
Cough after each drink.
Helps severe types of pneumonia and formation of pus. Septic tendency, septic shock.
Respiratory: asthmatic breathing, has to sit or bend forward, fear of suffocation if he lies down, cold sweat. Piercing/stitching pain in the upper right lung

2)BRYONIA
THIRSTY FOR LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. DRYNESS .
Every MOVEMENT AGGRAVATES her condition and pain.
Slow onset .
Febrile to medium high temperature.
Dry painful cough that hurts head , chest and abdomen, soreness of joints , tired, irritable and desire to be left alone.
Mouth dry, thirsty for large amounts .
Sharp pain in the chest , desire to be curled up like a dog(~Baptisia). Pneumonia. Fibrosis
< MOTION
>LYING ON THE PAINFUL SIDE

ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM.

2nd and 3rd stage of Corona , PNEUMONIA WITH RATTLING IN THE CHEST / LUNGS FULL OF MUCUS BUT INABILITY FOR EXPECTORATION /BLUE LIPS/ SUFFOCATION/THIRSTLESS/COLD SWEAT
Thirstless.Blueness, blue lips , cold sweat of the face.
Face pale and sickly.
Drowsiness and lack of reaction.
Loose, coarse , rattling cough as if the chest is full of mucus and bubblings in the chest The condition is one in which the chest is steadily filling up with mucus, and at first he may be able to throw it out; but finally he is suffocating from the filling up of mucus and the inability of the chest and lungs to throw it out. It is a paralytic condition of the lungs. Coldness and cold sweat dryness or a scanty flow of mucus Antimonium tart.

The first few days of the sickness will not point to Antimonium tart and in a few days it will reach a state of weakness.

Such medicines as BRYONIA and IPECAC. come in for the first period, and your impression is, when administering those medicines, that they will be sufficient for the whole case, and they will be, except in those states wherein this weakness is present from the beginning, or where there is lack of ability to react sufficiently from your remedy to recover under it.

Then comes in a second remedy, and that is the time when this medicine begins its operation. The chest is full of mucus and it rattles;but the mucus does not come up, or only a small quantity comes up, but it does not relieve him, he is suffocating and he is really passing away, dying from carbonic acid poisoning due to a lack of expulsive power. In cases of pneumonia; when first coming down with a chill, it may be a very violent attack, such an attack as from its violence produced prostration early, that is, after three or four days.

It is not indicated in the beginning during the chill, and during the high grade of inflammation, but during the stage of exudation. Unlike ACONITE, BELL., IPECAC. and BRY., for they come down with violence—the very opposite is present in Antimonium tart. Little fever, cold sweat, coldness, relaxation, hippocratic aspect. So it is the remedy that closes out the scene with the severe cases of bronchitis, pneumonia; most of these cases die in an Antimonium tart. state.

KALI SULPH

Patients who do not look sick when they have a cold, are more or less vigorous, who have rattling in the chest, but do not come down with weakness and are not prostrated from it, but keep on rattling, they call for Kali Sulph. Wants to be left alone, extremely irritable when disturbed , looks as if they were sinking, and if they do not get relief soon they certainly will die, dyspnoea, which is steadily increasing. The wings of the nose move as in LYCOPODIUM. LYCOPODIUM competes with it very closely and resembles it very much..

PHOSPHORICUM

Thirsty for cold drinks
< evening, before midnight, cold air
< Dark, lying on the right side , cold food &drinks, getting warm
Hard, dry , hacking cough< evening and morning and inability to lie on the left , with bloody or rusty colored expectorations .Usually begins in the evening with hoarseness , tight chest. Pain in the chest with cough ameliorating from pressure. Congestion of lungs, burning pain, sharp stitches , respiration quickened, body trembles.

ACONITE

Sudden onset /Anxious look, fearful and restless/ Shrunk pupils/ face red but turns pale on rising /Dry skin/ Dry painful cough/ high fever/ high arterial tension/fear of death/ Exalted sensitivity to light and noise/ Thirsty/ Unbearable pain/ cutting , tearing pains
>uncovering
<drinking
Convulsive cough . stitches through the chest and side , especially when breathing and cough. Pneumonia with great heat, much thirst , dry cough and great nervous excitability. Constriction and nervous oppression of chest with difficulty breathing .

CAMPHORA

The Camphor state is one of convulsions or coldness. In the most acute period of the Camphor excitement, the excitability and frenzy of the patient are extreme, or they go into the other extreme, in which the irritability is lost and there is loss of sensation, unconsciousness and coldness. They May go from the extreme of MENTAL EXCITEMENT AND VIOLENCE TO ONE OF PROSTRATION AND EXHAUSTION, IN WHICH THE BODY IS BLUE AND COLD AND YET MUST BE UNCOVERED.
In the mental state there is anxiety and extreme fear; The patient goes into a state not unlike imbecility, and the appearance is as if it had come on slowly.
The mind and memory are gone. They closes the eyes, seemingly asleep, and answers no questions. Delirious with the heat, rage and mania, wants to jump out of bed or out of the window. Screams and calls for help. Anxiety and almost loss of consciousness will indicate Camphora in violent inflammation of organs
The COLDNESS,FRENZY AND THE HEAT VERY OFTEN INTERMINGLE. When the Camphor patient is becoming cold, he has spells of heat which come over them(there are alternating states often found in those infected from Corona with heat followed by freezing cold feeling in which Camph might be useful especially if matches the modalities ) The more violently the patient suffers, the sooner they are cold, and when they are COLD , THEY MUST UNCOVER EVEN IN A COLD ROOM. THE PATIENT IS THE MOST TROUBLESOME PATIENT TO NURSE; NOBODY AND NOTHING SUITS.
The face is cold, blue and shrivelled, without much sweat, in the cases that would make one think of Camphor. here is a desire to drink without thirst. All through the cold stage there is burning. The inside of the body seems to burn,they are prostrated, sinking, have rattling in the chest.

Camph and Ant-t cover advanced stages of pneumonia. In acute complaints there is violent thirst, in chronic complaints thirstlessness.
It is the same in ARSENIC, in the acute thirsty, but in the chronic thirstless. Violent, dry, hacking cough Suffocative dyspnœa.

STANNUM METALICUM


Chief action is centered upon the nervous system and respiratory organs. Sad, anxious. Discouraged.Aching in temples and forehead. Obstinate acute coryza and influenza with cough. Pain worse motion; GRADUALLY INCREASING AND DECREASING. The STANNUM patient is usually sad and lachrymose,Crying usually makes the patient worse. This low-spiritedness is found in the lung troubles for which Stannum is your remedy. Stannum is indicated is also NERVOUS and WEAK; so nervous, IRRITABLE, and weak is she, that she becomes anxious and has palpitation of the heart, The mucus collects very rapidly in the chest and is quite easily expectorated, with great relief to the patient. The oppression, the weakness, and the tightness of the chest are all relieved when this sputum is raised. The voice which is husky and hoarse, Dyspnoea better after expectoration. The cough is very annoying and teasing. It is worse at night and is excited by talking and walking rapidly. The patient, in addition, complains of that WEAKNESS OF THE CHEST. It seems as if The patient had no strength there whatever. DYSPNEA <EVENING from so little exertion as giving directions The patient does not complain much about walking, but on trying to sit down fairly drops into the chair. Bitter taste (Sep).
< CHILLS <10AM MORNING; EXERTION, TALKING , WARM DRINKS, GOING DOWNSTAIRS
>EXPECTORATION
FLASHES OF HEAT <EVENING
These symptoms are often accompanied by pressure on the chest as though the lungs were pushed back to the spine. Hoarse; mucus expelled by forcible cough. Violent, dry cough in evening until midnight. Influenzal cough from noon to midnight with scanty expectoration. Respiration short, oppressive; stitches in left side when breathing and lying on same side.

ANTIMONIUM ARSENICOSUM

Remedy suggested by Dr Jeremy Sherr that combines the symptoms of Ars and Ant-t
