disturbance in biliary passages.
Broken down conditions. Ailments from enlarged liver, debility and emaciation with lack of vital reaction to well selected remedies : a low state of vegetation.

Relations - related to : Bry,
Crot-h, Echi, Calc-hyp, Hippz, Calc, Nat-p, Psor, Pyro.
Antidotes (to Insulin): Ant-a, Ant-t, Ars, (Bry),
Carb-v, Ins, Lyc, Sul.
Insulin shock (hypo-glycaemia) requires Ant-t, Ars,
Carb-v, (Crat), Lyc, Nux-v.
It is a counterpart of Bry. Insulin cases
respond interalia to Ars. Sulphur, ingrained in the Insulin
molecule, activates it. Contains some Carbolic acid as a preservative. Calc-a enlarged liver is painful, of Ins
not. Chel is of wider application, barring purulency.
A group of symbiotics: Bry, Carc, Ins, Med, Phos,
Psor, Strept Sul.
In memory of the late Dr. Sukerkar who gave us so much about this
potent medicine.
