DR. BELLOKOSSY: Distilled water is toxic.
DR. EIKENBERRY: This was Mackenzies very best that he could get.
DR. BELLOKOSSY: It would be better, then, to have a saline.
DR. EIKENBERRY: No. What are you going to do about the Natrum mur. cases?.
DR. BELLOKOSSY: That is true.
DR. HUBBARD: Is that the injection of the test you give them, or the final remedy?.
DR. EIKENBERRY: It is both. It is the test and the treatment.
DR. FARRINGTON: You didnt answer exactly.
DR. HUBBARD: When you say thirty-four remedies in one day-
DR. EIKENBERRY (interposing): I was experiencing. I had a woman from out of who wanted to get tested for everything, and she happens to be an old homoeopathic patient, one who knows a great deal about it, and she had a few remedies of her own she wanted to inquire about, and I was in the mood for experimentation, and so the only reason we stopped at thirty- four was because we ran our of available injecting space. She didnt have any more room left on her.
DR. HUBBARD: Do you think any of the thirty-four acted on her medicinally?
DR. EIKENBERRY: We say seven or eight, and that was the most mixed up case I ever had injected her with about ten or fifteen and I thought to myself, “Sam Hahnemann hates me now, so I might as well go ahead and make it a complete flop,” and we found out what it would do. She was willing.
DR. BELLOKOSSY: Do you write anything on the skin?.
DR. BELLOKOSSY: Dont you mix up the injections?.
DR. EIKENBERRY: You use them all alphabetically, You just go down the alphabetical, list, and when you go back, you can tell.
DR. BELLOKOSSY: You have a fixed distance between them so you dont mix them up.
DR. HUBBARD: I take it back. I am not going to stop at Indianapolis.
DR. BELLOKOSSY: It is not homoeopathic to inject so many at a time. We give only one.
DR. EIKENBERRY: This man had only one remedy that acted on him.
DR. BELLOKOSSY: But you injected so many, you could not have provings.
DR. ALLAN D. SUTHERLAND (Brattleboro, Vt.): It doesnt seem possible you can say it is not right or homoeopathic, for the man got well. What cured him?.
DR. RAY W. SPALDING (Boston, Mass.): Since it is under my Bureau, my personal opinion is that the treatment proved to be the efficacious treatment in this case, but I dont believe the I.H.A. is on record to go for four or five remedies, orally or intradermally, or in any other way, and the doctor knows that.
DR. CHARLES W. EDMUNDS (Detroit, Mich.): I should like to know if the other members of the association have had similar experiences in glaucoma, especially with any other particular remedy in any other day.
DR. JOHNSON: I should like to answer that by just the indicated remedy, the totality of symptoms nothing particular.
DR. HUBBARD: I had a case in point this winter, a patient of mine who developed pain and suffusion of the eye. I sent her to a supposed homoeopathic eye specialist, and he treated her for several months. H e diagnosed it as glaucoma with limitation of the field of vision, and complicated, so said he, by iritis, and uveitis. He treated her without much success, both with drops and later with injections, and finally threatened her with cortisone, and she said, “Thank you very much-no,” and came back to me, and said, “I have had this for about four months, and it is a little better, but still very bothersome, and I will not have cortisone, and will you please take me?”.
So, with my heart in my mouth, I took the case, and it came out to Natrum muriaticum. Now, that is a wild one for a glaucoma, but it wasnt for the glaucoma; it was for the lady. I gave her Natrum muriaticum 10M and she and had violent pain for four hours, and stuck with it, and then began to get better, and she now has recovered her vision. Her fields if vision are normal, as checked again by the eye man, and eyes are fine.
