GALLSTONES, PEPTIC AND DUODENAL ULCERS PROGNOSIS FAVORABLE WHEN TREATED ACCORDING TO THE HOMOEOPATHIC LAW



I dont have an examining table there. I dont have any white enameled furniture. I even hide my stethoscope, and it is almost impossible for me to be induced to take a blood pressure. That is funny, isnt it? That is how different I am, and I stress that all the way through. They have been to the other doctors and are ready for something different. I am a salesman for homoeopathy. I dont try to sell them Dixon at all; I try to sell homoeopathy, and I do it by stressing the difference between me and the scientific man who makes laboratory tests, x-rays, and what have you.

Training the patient is easy, it seems to me. I have my failures. I have people come to me who think I am too darned dirt common, you know, because I am not so scientific. But I can count my failures on the fingers of my two hands, where when I was trying to practice pseudo-homoeopathy I had lots more, I am sure.

As I said at the finish of my paper, I think I am on the right track, and I am trying to improve myself all the while. I think I have; anyway, my results are better.

I dont see many cases of perforated round ulcer with haemorrhage, not as many as the man who resorts to adjuvants of different kinds, I am sure; not as many as the man who gives enemas, physics, and things of that sort. I dont believe I have seen a perforated round ulcer in ten years. I have had them and have treated them for shock and the haemorrhage according to the homoeopathic remedy. If the shock is profound, we have a definite list of remedies for that and there is no need of my going into those.

If you dont know your materia medica well enough to select them, you are certainly not going to use them when you meet the emergency. If you do, you dont need to have me repeat them to you. The background of the perforating ulcer is probably better covered by Kali bichromicum than any other remedy, but shock and loss of fluids has a different set-up entirely. As I have said, since I have used this way of handling my cases I have had very little experience in meeting with severe haemorrhages. I havent turned a case over to a surgeon in twenty years, and I hold up my right hand.
