Kali carbonicum and Ammonium carbonicum are less important remedies. They are complementaries of Causticum.
Kali muriaticum has an action on the cavum and at the same time on warts.
Kali Permanganatum is indicated by Boericke. I do not know its value.
Ammonium carbonicum may be given in some patients like Petroleum, whose skin is blocked and who evolves towards uremia.
Finally, X-Rays is used in Homoeopathy, I do not know the value of this remedy in warts and in sycotic conditions.
4. Ground remedies: Now let us speak about the ground remedies of sycosis. We will begin with the important remedies of the sycotic temperament.
We have already spoken of Thuja. We have studied, though secondarily, Sepia, Lachesis and Ignatia. We have seen Nitric acid. Finally let us say something about the Natrum.
Natrum sulphuricum is rather hydrogenoid. It is of the first importance in sycosis and warts.
Natrum muriaticum is specially indicated in oxygenoid states, or hydrogenoid states of young people who are the carries of warts.
The young child who is oxygenoid and tubercular and who is demineralised are suitable to Natrum muriaticum. He evolves towards Thuja when he is vaccinated. His skin will be blocked later on and he will pass from Natrum muriaticum to Petroleum and will enter into the field of Phosphorus uremia.
In Natrum muriaticum the skin is a glandular system which functions. There are sweats and cutaneous eliminations.
In Thuja, the skin often begins to be blocked and in Petroleum it is completely blocked. It is for this reason very often the patient of Petroleum, adult or of ripe age is an ancient Natrum muriaticum as well as ancient Psorinum.
You now understand why Petroleum, Graphites, Silicea and Causticum act on sycosis.
Graphites is very rarely indicated in books in warts. It is a mistake because it has also the phenomena of blockage of the skin. It has cracked conditions of the skin and oozing eruptions. It is the remedy of oozing eruptions and thick corneous eruptions.
Petroleum has a completely blocked skin. It is aggravated in winter. It is one of the most important ground remedies which is to be prescribed in psoric adults and also in sycotic adults (Dr. Nebel).
Silicea is an important constitutional remedy of sycotic child, adults or of persons of ripe age, either tubercular, psoric, or evolving towards cancer. It is often the ground remedy of prostatic or uterine hypertrophies: fibromas or prostatic adenomas.
Lycopodium is less important. It is more psoric than sycotic.
Finally you have Causticum which is very important for being considered here. It has large warts, bleeding easily. Warts on all parts of the body, specially on fingers, and on the tip of the nose. Flat warts like that of Dulcamara or warts in stages. They coexist with yellow patches on the face, on the temples like that of Lycopodium.
The skin has a pale look. Wounds infect easily. There is a hydrogenoid condition abut with the inverse modality. Aggravation in dry seasons, amelioration in hot and humid seasons. The rheumatic patients say that they feel better in rainy weather and they feel worse in fine weather.
There exists in Causticum the rheumatic tendency or tendency to paresis. It is a remedy that evolves very rapidly like Thuja, towards grave nervous troubles, but these are motor troubles while that of Thuja are sensory. Causticum loses the muscular tonus. It is due to its potassium radical.
Calcarea carbonica at least is an important remedy of sycotic children or of psoric children. It is often the ground remedy of Antimonium crudum.
5. Nosodes. As regards nosode let us terminate saying that Medorrhinum will naturally be the most important. To fight against repeated vaccinations we have Thuja. We are also authorised to use the blood of malarial patient taken during the crisis in order to act on malarial patient taken during the crisis in order to act on malarial diathesis.
Finally we should not forget The so frequent association even constant association of sycosis with Psora. It will, therefore, be necessary to use frequently in these patients the diluted Tuberculins.
Let us recall here once more that Malandrinum may be indicated like Silicea and Thuja in Vaccinosis or for the bad effects of vaccinations.
Bernoville was a major lecturer in homeopathy, and he was active in Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis, and a founder of the le Syndicat national des médecins homœopathes français in 1932, and a member of the French Society of Homeopathy, and the Society of Homeopathy in the Rhone.
Fortier-Bernoville wrote several books, including Une etude sur Phosphorus (1930), L'Homoeopathie en Medecine Infantile (1931), his best known Comment guerir par l'Homoeopathie (1929, 1937), and an interesting work on iridology, Introduction a l'etude de l'Iridologie (1932).
With Louis-Alcime Rousseau, he wrote several booklets, including Diseases of Respiratory and Digestive Systems of Children, Diabetes Mellitus, Chronic Rheumatism, treatment of hay fever (1929), The importance of chemistry and toxicology in the indications of Phosphorus (1931), and Homeopathic Medicine for Children (1931). He also wrote several short pamphlets, including What We Must Not Do in Homoeopathy, which discusses the logistics of drainage and how to avoid aggravations.
He was an opponent of Kentian homeopathy and a proponent of drainage and artificial phylectenular autotherapy as well.
