BIOCHEMISTRY
The German physician Wilhelm Heinrich Schiissler
(born on 21st August, 1821, at Zwischenahn, Oldenburg),
after 15 years of homoeopathic practice, became parti­
cularly interested as a capable homoeopath in the most
important inorganic salts of which the human body is
composed, and in their quantitive relations. 1873 is con­
sidered the birth year of biochemistry. In 1874 Schiissler's
first work appeared. Its title was "An Abridged Therapy
on the Basis of Physiology and Cellular Pathology". The
thesis he propounded in this work was: “The inorganic
substances found in blood and tissues are sufficient to
cure all diseases that can be cured". (Schussler, Abgekurzte Therapie, 55th ed., p. 25). This statement is of
course true today only in a very limited sense. It would
be more accurate to say
.. they help to cure all
diseases that can be cured, and in particular they help
to regulate constitutional disturbances."
SCHOSSLER based his Biochemic Therapeutics on the
cell-activity. — He started from the fact that the salts
which remain after combustion form an essential part
of every cell, even if they are only present in extre­
mely small quantities, and that any change in their
proper quantitative relations will disturb normal cell­
function and cause disease.

1

The biochemic remedies were not selected according
to the similarity principle of homoeopathy. They are
chemically pure salts, homogeneous to the cell­
minerals in human body, physiologically and chemi­
cally in close relation to them By the aid of these
minerals disturbed molecular motion in the cells can
be rectified, as. taken for a certain period, these salts
will compensate the losses incurred during a disease
Thus, the ceils will recover, and will be able to over­
come the disease completely.
Schiissler at first made use of 12 and later of only 11
mineral substances and from them built up a com­
prehensive therapeutic system. Here all 12 substances
are discussed, since also calcarea sulphurica, which
Schiissler later abandoned, has proved its value as a
therapeutic agent.

The 12 mineral salts of biochemistry are:

Natrum muriaticum (Nat. mur.)

Natrum sulphuricum (Nat. sulph.)
Silicea (Silica)
Calcarea sulphurica (Calc, sulph )

At a later date the supplementary agents kali arsenicosum, kali bromatum, kali jodatum, lithium chloratum,
and manganum sulphuricum were included. Seen from
the point of view of Schussler's biochemical system
2

they have proved to be in no wav indispensable and
for this reason they have not been considered here.
More recent results of chemical, physical and phsiobiological research in the field of natural science,
regulatory pathology and neural pathology (Ricker,
Speransky, Hoff, Huneke et al.) in the medical field
have contributed much to the understanding of bio­
chemical processes. The antagonistic tendency of so­
dium and potassium ions on the one hand and calcium
ions on the other, to establish an equilibrium is well
known. The vagus-stimulating effect of sodium and
potassium is offset by the sympathicus-exciting effect of
calcium.

The biochemical method of administering potentised
homoeopathic remedies should not only be regarded
as a kind of substitution method, that is, simply as a
method of replacing deficient substances. All these
salts are supplied in far larger quantities in our food.
The essential point is the state of preparation of these
minerals which is achieved by potentiation with lac­
tose, in accordance with Hahnemann's homoeopathic
prescription. It has been proved *) that through this
special method of preparation both minerals and lac­
tose acquire particular physical properties. Lattice
structures are destroyed, and at the points of lesion
electric forces and rays are released which are not
present in solution and mixtures of non-potentised
substances. These peculiar directional forces affect the
neural structure of the central nervous system and of
the autonomic nervous system and restore to the
disharmonized,
diseased organism its harmonious

order. This process can be compared in every respect
with the effects of modern neutral therapy and is, so
to speak, a medicamentous form of this type of ther­
apy. G. Jaedicke, in his book “Biochemistry'1 (publish­
ed by A. Frbhlich-Verlag, Hamburg) states the prob­
lem very pregnantly: “Something is introduced into
the body which causes a disturbance and changes
the existing state to bring about a restoration of har­
mony."
The establishment of an accurate diagnosis in the con­
ventional sense of the word, and with the use, if neces­
sary, of all available technical equipment, is a matter
of routine also in the case of biochemical treatment.
Its purpose is not only to identify the disease diag­
nostically, but also to ascertain whether the phatological condition warrants treatment by the biochemical
method. Constitutional and functional disturbances,
disorders of the autonomic nervous system, all types
of neuralgia, and many inflammatory and degenera­
tive processes of all tissues can be successfully treat­
ed biochemically. In the case of infectious and conta­
gious diseases it should be decided in each indi­
vidual case whether chemotherapeutic and antibiotic
treatment is preferable. If the immunity conditions and
the circulation are good, the initial stages of acute
but not primarily dangerous infectious and contagious
diseases by no means always require a rigorous anti­
biotic or chemotherapeutic treatment. On the contrary,
lesistance phenomena, incompatibilities, allergies and
so on frequently preclude these methods. In such cases
the application of biochemical methods is very valu­
able. Meningitis, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and venereal
diseases should beyond question be treated in the first
place by the usual modern specific methods of treat­
ment. Earlier experience with various biochemical subs ances is-comparatively unimportant in these cases.

4

Widespread atrophy of the B-cells of the Langerhans'
pancreatic island system, the loss of the epithelial
bodies of the adrenal cortex, of the gonades, etc. can
be compensated only for a limited space of time by
substitution therapy based on correct doses. Where
the tissue of the hormone glands no longer functions
fully and where the valuable parenchyma has been
replaced by inferior connective tissue, even biochemi­
cally applied substances cannot bring about a regen­
eration. On the other hand, in cases where the
otherwise intact gland tissue is affected by faulty
nerve control and by sluggish functioning, better re­
sults can be achieved by biochemical treatment than
by substitution since the latter method would only
serve to increase the “laziness" of the already sluggish
glands. In such cases the biochemical substances can
activate and normalise glandular activity. The ability
of biochemical methods to influence malignant tumors
is very questionable and can only be used as an
additional aid together with the normal modern meth­
ods of treating tumors. For want of a better type
of therapy every attempt must be made to operate as
early as possible.
This booklet is to give some hints to biochemic prac­
titioners. The blank pages after each of the twelve
biochemical remedies are included intentionally to
provide for the possibility of making notes of ob­
servations and experiences from the practice.

The Biochemical Remedies, their Organ
Relations, Drug Picture and Indications.
1. CALCAREA FLUORICA
= calcium fluoride
= fluorspar
= CaF2
General Description and Organ Relations

Calcium fluoride is a constituent of the bones and the
tooth enamel and is contained in the epidermic cells
and in the elastic tissues. Whereas calcium oxide is of
importance for the functioning of the cells, hydro­
fluoric acid has a particularly favourable influence on
the elastic tissues. A characteristic indication of fluor­
spar is the loss of vessel elasticity and a tendency to
tissue induration, of which hard, cracked, horny skin
is an example.
Calcarea fluorica aims particularly at the tissue of joint
capsules, ligaments and tendons, at the teeth and
bones, the veins and lymphatic glands. It is used mainly
for chronic diseases of long duration, is very slow in its
action and must therefore be taken over a long period
of time.

Drug Picture
Flabby constitution of the connective tissue and of the
elastic fibres, tendency to varicose veins and chronic
ulcerated varicose veins with severe, piercing pains.
Pains in the lumbar region and lumbago, particularly
as a consequence of osteochondrosis in the lumbar
part of the spine. The skeleton shows a tendency
to form exostoses. The muscles and the connective

6

tissue of the muscles show a tendency to induration
processes. Glandular indurations. Styes. Tendency of
the female genitals to prolapse. Flaccid connective
tissue of the pelvis. Tooth decay. Neuralgia and neu­
ritis produced by the pressure of indurated tissue on
the nerves.
All complaints better from heat and worse from cold
and moisture.
Indications

Varices, osteomyelitis, bone fistulas, periostitis, forma­
tion of exostoses, hyperkeratoses, induration of glands
and connective tissue, weak ligaments of the uterus
and the adnexa with tendency to prolapse, myositis,
ulcus cruris, dental caries, paradentosis, styes, neural­
gia and lumbago.

2 CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA
= dibasic calcium phosphate
= precipitated calcium phosphate
= dicalcium orthophosphate
= CaHPO4 • 2H2O

General Description and Organ Relations

Dibasic calcium phosphate is the most widely distrib­
uted of all salts in the body; it occurs in all cells (the
largest quantities are found in the bone cells) and is of
vital importance for the formation of new cells. For
this reason it is the remedy for all disturbances result­
ing from, or connected with, anaemia or deficient bone
formation. A permanent calcium deficiency may cause
various diseases. The main working points of calcarea
phosphorica are: the whole bony skeletal system, the
red marrow, the connective tissue, the lymphatic glands,
the mucous membranes and the gastro-intestinal tract.
Drug Picture

Constitutional remedy for anaemic, scrofulous, leptosomatic, rachitic, neurasthenic children and women
suffering from lymphatism, emaciation and rapid men­
tal fatigue. Retarded dentition. Late walkers. Predisposi­
tion to chlorosis and rachitis. Defective bone develop­
ment. Late-closing fontanelles. Weak connective tissue
and bad posture. Night sweating, particularly on head
and neck. Tympanites and chronic diarrhoea with wa­
tery, greenish slimy stools and undigested food, chron­
ic lack of appetite and headaches in school children.
Predisposition to colds, particularly in wet and cold
weather. Yellowish crustal seborrhoea and predisposi­
tion of the skin to eczemas.
Craving for salty and cured foods. Worse from mois­
ture, cold, draughts and exertion, better from eating.

8

Indications

Neurasthenia in children, lack of appetite, sleepless­
ness, chlorosis, headaches in school children, anaemia,
scrofulosis, rachitis, dental caries in pregnant women
and rachitic subjects, leukorrhoea in young girls, dis­
turbance of growth, pains at bone sutures, chronic
gastro-intestinal cararrhs, too weak menstruation,
weakness of pelvic floor, exudative diathesis and ec­
zemas.

FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM
= iron phosphate
= ferric phosphate
= FePOj ■4H2O

General Description and Organ Relations
Iron phosphate is a salt that occurs in the whole
human organism, particularly in the blood; it is pri­
marily deposited in the muscle cells. Flaccid muscle
fibres indicate a lack of ferrum phosphoricum.
It exerts a favourable influence on haemorrhages,
diarrhoea and vomiting, also on inflammations ac­
companied by fever in their initial stage.
Chief target: blood (haemoglobin), blood vessels,
fibrous tissues of muscles and joints, gastro-intestinal
tract, ovaries
Drug Picture
Anaemic-chlorotic type, fair, pale, blue veins. Vascular
lability, alternating between pale und flushed. Often
very weak and susceptible, although the picture of
health. Congestive headaches accompanied by mi­
graine-like conditions, throbbing and pulsating in the
head accompanied by flushing of the face and cold
feet. All-over feeling of cold. Stomach pains, vomiting
of undigested food; despite this, bulimia. Diarrhoea
after every meal. Irritable bladder with incontinence.
Shivering accompanied by flushed face and thirst.
Feverish conditions, bronchitic cough, dyspnoea and
feeling of constriction, often accompanied by rusty
sputum. Rheumatoid pains in all muscles and joints.
particularuly in the shoulder girdle and in the region
of the deltoid muscle. Menorrhagia and leukorrhoea
in the case of anaemic patients.
Periodic occurrence of complaints. Worse from rest,
better from moderate movement.

10

Important remedy for all initial feverish conditions
accompanied by rush of blood to the head und full,
soft pulse in the body’s initial period of resistance (pro­
tracted feverish conditions accompanied by increasing
weakness require kali phosphoricum). Particularly ef­
fective in the case of bronchopneumonic conditions
and acute otitis media.

Indications
Feverish initial stages of diseases, anaemia, chlorosis,
leukorrhoea, migraine, headaches especially in the case
of anaemia, muscular and articular rheumatism, acute
and subacute gastroenteritis, pneumonia, broncho­
pneumonia, otitis media, initial stages of angina, tooth­
ache caused by acute pulpitis.

Dosage
For acute feverish conditions give potency 6 x at
10 to 15 minutes intervals until the temperature falls.

KALI MURIATICUM
= potassium chloride
= potassium muriate
= KCI

General Description and Organ Relations

Potassium chloride forms part of almost all body cells.
It is one of Schussler’s specific remedies which is not
used in homoeopathy and has not yet been proved.
Schussler’s knowledge of this drug is therefore purely
empirical.
Potassium chloride aims particularly at the cornea, at
the middle and inner ear, the mucous membranes and
glands of the lymphoid ring, at the lymphatic gland
system, the lungs, the pleura, the peritoneum and at
the synovial membranes of the joints.
Potassium chloride is often given as a follow-up rem­
edy after ferrum phosphoricum when acute inflam­
mations or infections become subacute or reach even
the subchronic or chronic stage. According to Schussler it has an absorbent effect on fibrinous exudations.
It follows that there is no drug picture in the strict
sense of the term. According to Schiissler there are the
following
Indications

Grey-coated base of tongue. Extensive coughing with
ropy, white-grey sputum. Generalised swelling of the
lymphatic glands in the case of infectious diseases
like scarlatina, measles, mumps, etc. Marginal blepha­
ritis and conjunctivitis with creamy secretions. Corneal
ulcers without acute inflammatory symptoms, chronic
iritis. Spasmodic cough, asthmatic conditions, pharyn­
geal catarrh, chronic as well as follicular tonsilitis.
12

catarrhal otitis media and inflammation of the Eusta­
chian tube with much creamy, ropy, white secretion.
Also today a valuable adjuvant in cases of diphtheria,
pneumonia and pleurisy. Chronic cystitis with much
white mucus. Leukorrhoea, effusive menstruation, hae­
morrhage very dark. Hypersensitivity to fats; consti­
pation and piles. Chronic gastroenteritis accompanied
by vomiting or diarrhoea containing much slime.
Chronic hepatopathy. Subchronic and chronic poly­
arthritis with fibrinous exudations in the joints. Bursitis
praepatellaris. Pustular exanthemas on the skin; the
vesicles contain creamy white secretion.

All complaints worse from movement, cold and fatty
food, fats and spices. Better from heat.

KALI PHOSPHORICUM
= monobasic potassium phosphate
= potassium biphosphate
= potassium acid phosphate
= KH2PO4

General Description and Organ Relations
Potassium phosphate is contained primarily in the
tissue fluid of the brain and nerve cells; the function
of our nerves and thought depends on potassium
phosphate. Lack of this substance in the cells produces
rapid and easy fatigue (brain-fag). Potassium phosphate
occurs in the brain and nerve cells, in the muscle and
blood cells, and in the blood plasma and tissue fluid.
Favourable influence on nervous exhaustion. It acts as
a cardiac tonic.
Potassium phosphate aims particularly at the central
nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, in par­
ticular the gastro-intestinal nerves (region of the
splanchnik nerve), all muscle cells and the heart.

Drug Picture
Apathy, nervous exhaustion, head fatigue, general
neurasthenia, incapability of doing mental work, day­
time sleepiness, general restlessness, irritability, de­
pressions and anxiety neurosis. Palpitation, dropped
beats and oppression of the heart. Nervous forget­
fulness despite mental alertness. General muscular
weakness with a feeling of paralysis and pains in the
back. Disposition to muscular and professional cramps
ie. g. writer's cramp). Lack of resistance to cold. Yellowcoated tongue and foetid breath (coming mainly
from the stomach). Nervous foetid diarrhoea. Leukorrhoea. All secretions are putrid and offensive.

14

Worse in the morning, after mental exertion, excite­
ment and cold
Indications
Neurasthenia, general exhaustion (particularly after
infectious diseases), mental and muscular fatigue occur­
ring together with pains in the back. Depressions, ner­
vous sleeplessness, agoraphobia, psychoses, nervous
gastro-intestinal catarrhs, colitis mucosa, leukorrhoea
and dysmenorrhoea. Important remedy against all
highly feverish conditions (except tuberculosis, for
which ferrum phosphoricum should be preferred).

KALI SULPHURICUM
= potassium sulphate

= k2so4
General Description and Organ Relations

Kali sulphuricum is found in the epithelial cells of the
skin and the mucosae, and in all other places where
iron is deposited in the cells; it helps to convey oxygen
to the cell structure and thus has an accelerating
influence on the metabolism. Potassium sulphate is
effective in advanced stages of inflammatory conditions
accompanied by yellow slimy exudations.
Potassium sulphate is indicated in all cases in which,
because of the weak reactions of the body, the pro­
gress of the diseases is very slow with a tendency to
generalisation. They take an inward course instead
of coming out. Like sulphur in homoeopathy, kali sul­
phuricum is a good agent with catalytic-activating
properties. In inflammatory diseases, particularly ulcera­
tions, it has a demarcation effect against necrosis.
Its main working points are: conjunctivae, mucosae
(upper respiratory tract, bronchi, stomach, and uterus),
skin.

Drug Picture
The drug picture of kali sulphuricum is very similar
to the homoeopathic drug picture of Pulsatilla and it
has often been called 'inorganic Pulsatilla’. Both are
characterized by affections of the mucosa with thick
creamy yellow secretion. Both produce the same de­
pressive mood with a tendency to tears.

There is coughing accompanied by a heavy mucous
rale. Rheumatism following exposure to wet conditions.

16

Catarrhal jaundice. Often inflammation of the mucosa
and predisposition to coryza and to sinusitis. Conjunc­
tivitis and predisposition to recidivous otitis media.
Greenish-yellow vaginal discharge. All complaints
worse from warm, unaired rooms and towards evening.
Better from fresh, cool air.

Indications

Blepharoconjunctivitis, otitis media, bronchitis, pharyngolaryngitis, sinusitis, chronic otitis media, ozaena,
chronic gastritis, scarlatinal nephritis.

MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA

7.

= dibasic magnesium phosphate
— dimagnesium orthophosphate
= MgHPO4 • 7H2O

General Description and Organ Relations
In biochemistry magnesia phosphorica is designated
as an antispasmodic and analgesic; it is found in the
muscles, the nerves, the brain and the spinal marrow,
and in the bone and blood cells. Lack of magnesium
phosphate causes gnawing and searing pains in nerves
and muscles, and muscular cramps. For this reason
magnesia phosphorica is used mainly to combat pain
and spasms
Its main targets are the central nervous system, the
peripheral nerves, the unstriated muscles, and all
hollow organs.

Drug Picture

Nervous and restless patients. Exhaustion and
spasmodic diathesis, esp. in children. Violent spasmodic
intestinal colics accompanied by eructation of gas.
Tendency to cardiac spasms. Urina spastica. Intestinal
and particularly sphincter spasms, spasmodic dysmenorrhoea. Pertussis-like and asthma-like spasmodic
coughs. Shooting, fulgurant nerve pains, often accom­
panied by muscular spasms. Tooth spasms in children.
Colics and spasms of the hollow organs with un­
striated muscles (stomach, intestines, bladder, etc.).
All complaints improve by warmth and pressure and
are of intermittent character.
18

Indications
Spasmodic diathesis, spasms of the unstriated mus­
cles of all hollow organs and of the blood vessels,
cramp neuroses such as writer’s cramp. Choreatic and
erethistic excitement in children. Neuralgia accompa­
nied by muscular spasms.

NATRUM MURIATICUM
= sodium chloride
= common or table salt
= NaCI

General Description and Organ Relations

Natrum muriaticum is contained in all body fluids and
tissues; it regulates the body’s fluid balance; in low
concentrations it promotes digestion, and in particular
the fluid metabolism; it further loosens mucus in the
respiratory organs and has a favourable effect on
deficient blood composition. Puffy face, dry mucosae,
chills down the spinal column, cold hands and feet,
hangnails, fatigue and exhaustion are signs of a
natrum muriaticum deficiency. Complaints develop
slowly and are therefore very refractory. Natrum mu­
riaticum aims particularly at the autonomic nervous
system, the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract,
at heart, thyroid, liver, gastro-intestinal tract, skin and
genitals.
Drug Picture

Undernourished and run-down physical condition.
Pessimistic, tired, pale type. Conditions following upon
chronic vegetative disturbances. Scrofulous, arthritic
and herpetic diathesis. Chronic inflammations of the
eyes and ears, chronic cold accompanied by nose­
bleeding, impairement of the sense of smell and taste.
Gingivitis.
Foetid breath. Chronic catarrhal pharyngitis, laryngitis
and bronchitis. Eczematous and pustulous eruptions,
particularly in the skin folds of the joints; the skin chaps
easily, cracked lips, sores on the nostrils, often hang­
nails, loss of hair. Furunculosis, urticaria, diffuse sweat­
ing. General neurasthenia. Chronic affection of the
20

glands. Heartburn. Bulimia, rapidly attaining a feel­
ing of fulness, slimy vomiting, stasis cirrhosis, piles,
weakness of the bladder muscles, lack of libido. Leukorrhoea and persistent constipation, crumbly stools.
General loss of weight, often pains in the back and
feeling of depression.
Worse in the forenoon. Intense thirst, craving for salty
and cured food. Increased salivation as a typical
symptom.

In biochemistry common salt is considered a polychrest
and a general constitutional agent. Almost all oppo­
nents of biochemistry and homoeopathy argue that
there is no sense in prescribing high potencies of com­
mon salt since large doses are supplied daily in our
food The fact is that its efficiency has been proved
by over a century and a half of experience. It is as­
sumed that the homoeopathic method of preparation
is responsible for the increased efficacy.

Indications
Scrofulosis, chronic headaches and migraine, chronic
rhinitis and bronchitis, vegetative dystonia accom­
panied by nervous heart trouble and hyperthyreosis,
hepatopathy, chronic enteritis, chronic obstipation.
Hypermenorrhoea, seborrhoeic eczemas.

NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM
= dibasic sodium phosphate
= Na2HPO4 ■ 12H2O

General Description and Organ Relations

Sodium phosphate is a constituent of the blood cor­
puscles, the muscle, nerve and brain cells, and the
tissue fluids. Overacidity which manifests itself (particu­
larly in overfed infant children) by sour eructation, vom­
iting of sour caseous masses, greenish-yellowish sour
diarrhoea, belly-ache and cramps, is attributed by bio­
chemistry to a lack of sodium phosphate.
The main target is the gastro-intestinal tract. In addi­
tion it has a modifying effect in cases of stone dia­
thesis and arthritic-gouty constitution.
Drug Picture

Overacidity of all body fluids and all excretions is a
typical symptom. Hyperacidity, sour eructation, sour
vomiting and heartburn. Frequent diarrhoea because
of hyperacidity. Excess of urates and other deposits in
the tissues, sometimes even gouty changes in the joints.
Lithiasis produced by the crystallisation of uric acid.
Indications

Hyperacidity, heartburn, fermentative dyspepsia, uricacid diathesis, arthritis, gout, lithiasic diathesis, chronic
gastroenteritis, scrofulosis, cystitis, enuresis nocturna.

NATRUM SULPHURICUM
= sodium sulphate
= Glauber's salt
= Na2SO4

General Description and Organ Relations
According to Schussler natrum sulphuricum, like sodium
chloride, attracts water in the body and is therefore
closely connected with the fluid metabolism. Lack of
sodium sulphate leads to overloading of the blood
circulation with uric acid, far-reaching disturbances of
the internal fluid level, and creates a predisposition
to intestinal and liver diseases.

The main targets are liver, gallbladder and gastro­
intestinal tract.
In accordance with its main function of eliminating
excess water from the body, sodium sulphate is used
in biochemistry to activate the urinary tract, the intes­
tines, particularly the colon, and the pancreas.
Drug Picture

Natrum sulphuricum is particularly suitable for people
who have a constitutional tendency to accumulate
tissue fluid, i. e. people of v. Grauvogl’s hydrogenoid
constitution The patients are bad-tempered, melanchol­
ic, have a bloated appearance and constantly suffer
from shivering attacks. They feel cold even in a warm
bed. They get easily exhausted and suffer from day­
time fatigue. Lancinating pains in the left chest and left
hip. Pain prevents them from lying on the left side.
Predisposition to gallbladder and liver diseases and to
jaundice; so-called 'bilious type'. Patients complain of
pressure, stitches and a painful feeling of tension in
the region of the liver, frequent flatulent colics,
24

11 SILICEA
= precipitated metasilicic acid of the approximate
formula H2SiO3
General Description and Organ Relations
Silicic acid is the substance that forms the tissues. It is
therefore found in the cells of the connective tissue,
in the skin, the nails and the hairs. Any considerable
lack of this substance produces flabbiness and the ini­
tial stages of atrophy of the connective tissue, and
destroys cell-activity.
It is particularly suitable for patients with weak con­
nective tissue who show a weak reaction to infections,
do not readily run a temperature, and whose skin does
not easily heal. Silicea is definitely a constitutional
remedy. Its main targets are the connective tissue, the
bone and lymphoid tissues, the skin and its appen­
dages (teeth, hairs, nails etc.), and the central nervous
system.
Drug Picture

Constitutionally underdeveloped, dystrophic children
with frog belly and old, withered appearance. At a
later age weak, depressive, incapable of physical
and mental efforts. Lack of initiative and interest in
life. Shivering. Tendency to catch colds.
Headaches proceeding from the occiput and moving
towards the eyes; better from wrapping up warmly
(typical). All suppurations are slow to react, greasy
and chronic. Predisposition to fistulas. All secretions
are thin, caustic and putrid. Partial sweating - parti­
cularly the hairy parts of the head, and the feet. The
sweat is cold, sour, smelly; raw flesh between the toes.

26

Interrelation between sweaty feet and colds and also
allergic complaints. Frequently meteorism, foetid flat­
ulence. Proctogenic obstipation. The stool consists of
hard balls almost impossible to eliminate.

Worse from cold, in the evening and at night. Better
from warmth and warm wrapping-up. Oversensitivity
to external impressions. Worse from movement.
Indications

Dystrophic, rachitic, exudative and scrofulous children.
All kinds of chronic suppurative processes. Chronic
otitis media and otitis externa. Eczemas in the auditory
canal. Chronic blepharoconjunctivitis, dacryocystoblennorrhoea, etc. Fistulas. Lymphomas. Organ tuberculosis.
Lymphatism. Growth disturbances of hair and nails.
Skin does not heal easily. Pyodermia and weeping
eczemas.

12. CALCAREA SULPHURICA
= calcium sulphate
= CaSO4•2H2O
Calcium sulphate has a favourable influence on ulcers
and suppurative processes, no matter where these
processes are located. It can be given successfully
in alternation with silicea and is closely related to the
potassa sulphurata of homoeopathy. It has a farreaching effect on suppurative processes. It is parti­
cularly effective in cases of open abscesses, furuncles,
carbuncles and other non-healing suppurative pro­
cesses.
Good results can also be obtained in the case of sup­
purative bronchitis, suppurative sinusitis and protracted
tonsillitis.
There is no proven dug picture.
Indications

Abscesses, furuncles, pyodermia, keratitis, periostitis,
osteomyelitis and other chronic suppurations and ul­
cers. Anal fistulas.
