Summary
Out of 11,000 prescriptions only 170 were of the unproven nosodes, and most of these
have had other remedies so that conclusions would be mere opinions. But I am able
to give the cases of five children and five adults (from 33 to 63 years old) in which
the help was quite definite and the results due entirely to the nosode—in one child
even decent food was lacking (beyond the school dinner during the war). My conclusion
is that when these are needed each is just as important to that patient as any other
remedy would be if it were indicated. in two of the cases a neoplasm was feared. In
three the whole mental outlook was changed for the better. In one a mental, breakdown
was feared (she had been given a year's leave, but went back to India rejoicing before
the end of that time).
The one rule for their prescription must be a most definite “never well since so and
so”. The “so and so” being an illness from which recovery was very slow or never complete.
The other rule is not to repeat, for a very long time and usually other remedies are
called for. (Kent's rule must be followed, that is, the same symptoms must return).
This is why I favour giving a series of potencies daily, running up, as Hahnemann
suggested and Miss Tyler publicized.
