Some Clinical Hints in Emergencies From our Masters
NATIONAL JOURNAL OF HOMOEOPATHY 1993 Sep / Oct Vol II NO 5.
Dr Kasivishwanathan T K.
- Use of Antipyrine in 6X trituration in high and apparently dangerous temperatures, will surely reduce the temperature. I have had few failures in all the instances in which it was used.
Dr. MIDDLETON
- Natrum-mur acts splendidly in sunstrokes, where a deficiency of it allows moisture to be drawn from other parts, especially the base of the brain, which otherwise would have been dangerous and fatal.
Dr. HESELTON
- Carbo-veg in threatened collapse. In the last extremity, a potency of Carbo-veg will often bridge a terrible chasm.
Dr. CONANT
- Dont forget Arnica to combat the shock we get in terrible auto accidents; it is better than the opiate
Dr. DIXON
- I have used Carbo-veg, Ant-tart and Lycopodium in some cases of insulin shock with good results. I suppose any of the so called collapse remedies might be indicated.
Dr. H.A. ROBERTS
- I know nothing which so rapidly dissipates hysterical attack, even when it has gone as far as unconsciousness, as Moschus.
Dr. HUGHES
- Picric-acid is indicated in Uraemia with complete anuria following severe burns. It covers the prostration and weakness, back pain and paraesthesia of extremities. It stimulates granulation of burns area locally.
Dr. CHARLES C. BOERICKE
(One part solution applied on lint is the best application for burns until granulations begin to form. Pg. 516 of Boerickes Materia Medica)
- Lonicera xylosteum is to be remembered in uraemic convulsions.
Dr. BLACKWOOD
- The great prostration, faintness and even death by syncope noticed in those stung by bees show that Apis-mel has more than local homoeopathy here.
Dr. HUGHES
- I am sure you will get better results in any case of bad shock, by giving Aconite and the patients will get up feeling much better than they would after paraldehyde. I would give a 200 dose every 15 minutes.
Dr. D.M. BORLAND
- When you have before you, a body which is doing nothing, no sweating etc. you think of only one remedy, i.e. Opium. Opium is just the situation where there is no sweat, no stool, nothing there (comatose).
Dr. PIERRE SCHMIDT
- The last of the drugs which I commonly think of is Oxalic-acid for collapse conditions (acute cardiac cases) of an influenzal pneumonia where the patient was just fading out, having lost all strength and the heart failing rapidly, I think all patients of that type that I have seen have left pneumonias. I remember seeing two or three patients who apparently were doing quite well on Natrum-sulph, react beautifully to Oxalic-acid.
Dr. BORLAND.
