STRYCHNINUM PHOSPHORICUM

The majority of the symptoms are found under the parent alkaloid Strychninum. It is with interest then that we look to the Phosphorus element, which also acts in force upon the central nervous system where it produces lack of stamina, fears, and sensitiveness to external stimuli. The cardio-vascular system is also acted upon and we get flushings, rapid heart, and irregular pulse.

GASTRIC ULCER

The greatest of all chronic ulcer remedies is, of course, Sulphur. It will cure nine out of ten chronic cases. Carbo veg. ranks next. Nux vomica is useful where the ulcer is caused by business and other worries and drugging. Anacardium where eating greatly relieves the pain, also Graphites. Where the haemorrhage is severe and the patient partially collapsed use Secale. For smaller haemorrhages try Kreosotum.
