6. Biochemic or Organotherapic Remedies
According to the order of importance we will have here
Pancreatine, insulin, Blood and Urine isopathy, at top top with Glycerine,Adrenalin, Phloridzine, Urea and Lecithin.
By biochemic remedies we mean some products existing naturally in the human organism such a Urea, Lecithin, Adrenalin, cholesterin. This branch of Homoeopathy is still less known. It is related to organotherapy and seems to be very important in future, if we consider them according to the good results obtained as for example with Adrenalin in some cases of arterial hypertension. Cholesterinum in cholecystitis etc.
Pancreatine
“Long before the discovery of insulin, Pierre Jousset, produced at Saint Jacques Hospital a pancreatic liquid in Glycerine base. A fresh pancreas is taken and the juice is extracted b a filter called Chamberalin. this juice is collected in glycerine which serves as the base of preparation cannot e pressured for a long time and to have good results, it is necessary to have fresh preparation and these preparations are preserved in ampoules.
It is one of the best treatment which we can give to diabetics of whatever form the disease may be, specially if the diabetes is event. P. Jousset used the liquid in doses of 10 to 20 drops, twice a day in a spoonful of water. I have given in the doses of two drops a day and I have sometimes obtained marvellous result, although in the hands of Lawrence it has given no result. Not only it diminishes the sugar in the urine, but also we have observed specially, the taking up of strength and vigor which disappeared. In a special case, the rate of sugar has fallen from 200 grams to zero. Whatever may be the result., variable according to the strength and oldness of the diabetes, the pancreatic liquid in homoeopathic dose and administered orally is a remedy of great value. Insist on small disease and oral administration, because Insulin by hypodermic infections and in massive doses gives little results in ordinary diabetes and does prove its utility on acidosis and diabetic coma. It will be particularly useful in infantile diabetic Cartier-Traite complete de therapeutique homoeopathique, t. 4.
Insulin
It is evident that we should not ignore Insulin and we should use it in Homoeopathy according to the habitual method. But we should avoid to give it very frequent and we should not use it in gross doses because of its dangers.
It should be prescribed in grave cases of diabetes, in lean and thin consumptive patients and also in coma and in the menace of coma as a remedy of urgency.
But we know also how t use diluted Insulin either in lower dilutions 1x or 3x in the same sense of a natural product but it should be used by mouth, or in medium dilutions or ion high dilutions as check, or regulator, as it is done in France by Martiny, and in America by Baker.
Blood and Urine Isopathy
Isopathy called Isotherapy of blood and urine of the patient in question has been used with different success in dilutions of there products 6, 12,. 3o, 200, 1000. The lower dilutions seems to act less well. Here it should be considered whether the sugar contained in the blood and urine is to be isolated or not, in order to intensity the results to be obtained, for dynamising it and prescribing it.
Glycerine
It is generally less known, although it is mentioned in the Materia Medica. However it is valuable. As our friend Barbishac has indicated I myself have frequently used Glycerine 200 with good success; rapid diminution of the percentage of sugar in the urine in many case, But this remedy seems to be dangerous sometimes like all other remedies which may diminish very rapidly or may cause to disappear glycosuria. it should be helped with the drainage remedy or may cause to disappear glycosuria. It should be helped with the drainage remedies or by the remedies of temperament of the patient nd to prescribe it all follows
Natrum muriaticum 200, on dose, then Glycerine 200, one dose 10 to 12 days after Natrum Muriaticum and so on *if Natrum Muriaticum is naturally the ground remedy always prescribing Syzigium 1 x or other satellite remedies.
Adrenalin
May act also in diabetes when there are pluri glandular troubles. suprarenal, kidney, pancreas. Its symptoms are Rise of arterial tension, slow pulse, general symptoms of sympathy- cotonia. In these cases it should be used in medium and high dilutions on the contrary in physiological usage, it should be used in ponderable doses. It will act in case of hypotension, vagotonia, agony, anxiety with the sensation of thoracic construction, vertigo, nausea and vomiting.
Phloridzine
It is product which experimentally causes diabetes by its action on kidney. It may then act only in renal diabetes without hyperglycemia. This drug also produces lesions of fatty degeneration of the liver with the possibility of intermittent fever.
Urea
Has been used in albuminuria in tuberculosis as well as in diabetes with inconstant results. This remedy is still less known.
Lecithin
It may be used in albuminuria, in glycosuria, and specially in phosphaturia. Sexual impotency. Pale face. Anorexia. Thirst WEakness. It may be compared with Phosphorus and to Cholesteium its antidote.
When Lecithin is used, it should be specified whether Lecithin from eggs or from brain matter is to be used There are a great number of Lecithins but the difference of their action is not known. Some researches should be undertaken in this line.
New Remedies in Course of Experiment
Homoeopathic arsenal; is enriched by new arms of which the utility is sometimes greater. It would be too early to have some complete and different indications of these new remedies which are not yet efficiently experimented, but will in hear future allow us to obtain in the treatment of this disease as tenacious and as despairing as diabetes, some more fortunate results.
Ammonium nitricum
More useful than other ammonium salts. Its proved indication is polyuria. Uranium arsenicosum and Uranium iodatum
These salt are more useful in some cases than Uranium nitricum. They have the symptoms of Uranium nitricum while there is appetite Uranium nitricum and anorexia in Uranium arsenicosum.
Pyrolla umbellatum
It is from the vegetable kingdom and may be mentioned here under
These four remedies are to be used in the 6th dilution. In some diabetes, specially infantile diabetes it is necessary to doubt in the heredity, the association of two important factors Tuberculosis and Syphilis. One should take into account of that etiology in the terminate by prescribing Marmoreck of Bacillinum 10,30, 200 l alternated with Syphilinum 30, 2100o preferably.
