Prescribing Nosodes

books on Classical Homeopathy.

"Last month, Whole Health Now sponsored a free
telephone conference with Dr. Luc De Schepper, who spoke on the use of the
nosodes in homeopathic prescribing:
A nosode is a homeopathic remedy made from
diseased tissue or discharge. An example of a nosode would be the remedy
Medorrhinum, which is made from a gonorrheal discharge. OK, let's not get flippy!
Homeopathic remedies are more often than not made from poisons, but, the premise
of homeopathy is that what a substance can cause, it can cure in small doses;
so, if a substance can't cause anything, then it can't cure anything either! For
those of you who are new to this, a poison, when prepared homeopathically, is
diluted so many times (and shaken after each dilution) that by the time it is
put before the public, there isn't a single molecule of the poison left! What is
left is a vibration; it works because we are vibrating ourselves, however
imperceptively. In illness our vibration is "off", and it is this mistunement
that the remedy "resets", with a resultant return to health. So, you don't have
to worry about the source of our remedies, they're only vibrations.
Anyway, Dr. Luc De Schepper attempted to
explain when a nosode is appropriate to prescribe:
-
When well-chosen remedies fail to act or
hold.
-
When the case is unstable--a continuous
change of symptoms.
-
When the correctly-chosen remedy stops
working, and even raising the potency doesn't work and the presentation of
the disease hasn't changed.
-
When a patient is never well since an
acute affection such as the flu or mono.
-
When a patient is having a severe acute
and remedies are poorly indicated.
-
When there are a lack of symptoms in the
case, where the only symptoms presented are the common symptoms of the
disease.
-
When several remedies seem to fit the case
equally.
-
When an infectious disease is in the area,
give the nosode--the homeopathically prepared "disease"--to "inoculate"
yourself against it.
-
When the nosode is the same as the
offending microorganism.
-
When the nosode is the patient's
constitutional remedy. (Some of these nosodes are well-established remedies
that are used just like any other remedy that fits the case.)
Dr. Luc says that after the nosode, the patient
might put out more symptoms, which is good, but it will be hard to convince him
of that!
-
The strep nosode works in cardiac cases when
strep is in the history and suppressed with antibiotics, such as strep throat.
-
Anthracinum, the anthrax nosode works
for carbuncles that are blue and burning.
-
Carcinosin 30C, a nosode made from
breast cancer, will prevent mono if you have been exposed.
-
Tuberculinum, the tuberculosis nosode,
is indicated when there is a continuous change of picture at every follow-up. He
says that Tuberculinum is more psoric than Psorinum, to consider when
Sulphur
doesn't work, also, use it for a dying patient with the death rattle.
-
Psorinum, made from a scabies
discharge, is for lack of reaction, meaning that a well-chosen remedy is given
and the patient doesn't respond. Also, a person needing Psorinum is usually
sensitive to the cold, his skin may give a dirty appearance, there is often
despair and bad odors.
-
Carcinosin: indications are ailments
from rudeness, too much responsibility in childhood, and indignation.
Complementary remedies to Carcinosin are: Causticum,
Staphysagria, Natrum
Muriaticum and Sepia.
The teleconference was only an hour long so
this is obviously an incomplete treatment of the subject of nosodes, and it was
often hard to hear as interference was coming from somewhere (and it sounded
like someone was chopping an onion during the entire call!), but other than
that, it was a thrill hearing someone whose books I have read." | |
