Lycopodium has many complementary relations to Iodum. Both are hot, irritable and windy remedies. Both are right sided, although Lycopodium has more decided action. Both have great hunger with emaciation. General pictures have, however, their own individualistic features which delineate them from each other.
Tuberculinum, Phosphorus and Natrum mur. are also a few of the remedies with marked emaciation and increased hunger but not to the same degree as Iodum. In scrofulous characteristics all these remedies are very close together.
In glandular affections Conium, Calcarea fluor. and Rhus tox. should be compared with Iodum.
In tuberculosis Iodum and its salts have won incontestable laurels. Most of its salts have not been proved sufficiently and we have only clinical provings to guide us. They might be a tremendous asset to our armamentarium if all are thoroughly proved.
