Additions to the Homeopathic Materia MedicaEncyclopedia of homeopathic remediesA comprehensive body of collected knowledge describing the origin, preparation, and detailed symptom profiles of healing substances., collected and arranged
by Henry Thomas, M.
D and published in London in the year 1858:
Thomas employed a 6x dilutionPotentized liquid homeopathic medicineA solution prepared by repeatedly diluting and shaking (succussing) a substance to enhance healing power while removing toxicity. in three cases of tuberculosis.
In one case, there was a tuberculous affection
of the upper portion of the left lung of two years' standing.
He moptysis had been go ing on for three months,
the expectoration had been pure blood in the morning, dark lumps of clotted blood in the evening, and the fits
of coughing were very violent at night.
In this case, all homeopathic remedies had been tried unsuccessfully, then Thoma s accidentally discovered
the virtues of the Acalypha Indica, that remedy having been given him by a native for jaundiceYellowing of the skin and eyes from bile pigmentA medical condition with yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, arising from excess of the pigment bilirubin..
Henry Thomas said, “I prepared the mother tincture upon the homeopathic principle and" took 10 drops, which
brought on a severe fit of dry cough, followed by spitting of blood.
After having noted all the symptoms
experienced by myself and finding that they were nearly all similar to those of my patients.”
Thomas gave six drops of the 6x dilution in half a tumbler of water.
A spoonful was to be taken every half hour,
beginning immediately at 9 a.m.
At 6 p.m., the blood had stopped.
He continued this for eight days and the
blood never reappeared.
The patient improved and auscultation proved the disease decreased.
Thomas was
hopeful to effect a cure.
In one case of passive hemorrhage from the lungs, after Arnica was used with little benefit, Acai, benefited
and then failed, after which the use of Arnica entirely stopped the hemorrhagic flow.
Grimmer stated that “Lung cancer with a violent cough which followed by bloody expectoration or of pure blood,
