## Keynote Indications
Cadmium Sulph is a profoundly eff ective homoeopathic remedy.  Its
patients do not like to do any physical  or mental work.  They hate
doing anything. Sulphur patients are also lethargic.  They keep
planning to become rich but do noth ing to attain their goals.  The
Opium patient also remains in his imaginary world and thinks about
the same way, but does not want to  move himself or do any kind of
work.

The salient features of Cadmium Sulph are anguish and restlessness.
In this way it resembles Arsenic,  but an Arsenic patient has one
typical feature opposite to Cadmiu m Sulph.  An Arsenic patient
cannot tolerate any irregularity in his day-to-day life.  He keeps
everything in its proper order and is not afraid of hard work, while the
patient of Cadmium Sulph is lazy, like a Sulphur patient, and his
things are in great disarray.

Cadmium Sulph acts on the stomach like Arsenic.  There is irritation
inside the stomach that sometimes may not even let the patient sleep.
Cadmium Sulph is a good treatment for this condition.  Another
distinguishing feature is that the Arsenic patient keeps on turning sides
and cannot lie in one position fo r long, while the Cadmium patient
feels pain on movement.  Even if  he is restless, his tiredness and
laziness are more pronounce d.  He does not like to  move at all.  His
expression of restlessness is merely verbal.  In Cadmium Sulph, like
Zinc, there is cramping of the musc les.  The Zinc patient keeps on
moving the affected part of body, placi ng his one foot on the other, or
keeps on shaking his legs. Unlike Zinc, the Cadmium Sulph patient
feels restlessness all over, yet does not make any movement at all.

Cadmium Sulph is useful in the diseases of the eye .  It is very useful
for swollen eyelids, pain in the eye, as well as sores and ulcers of the
eye.  It is also useful in the treatment of drooping eyelids (ptosis).  It is
useful for invigorating the nerve fi bres of the eye,  in addition to
working on external eye conditions. Cadmium Sulph is mostly
indicated in the treatment of dise ases affecting one side.  I have
mostly found it useful in the treatment of strokes affecting the left side
of the body.  The paralysis affects one eye or one side of the body.  If

apoplexy leaves behind the we akness of one arm or one leg,
Phosphorus may also be beneficial.

In the Cadmium Sulph patient, nu mbness of the sk in is well known
but it should not be overlooked th at, before the actual numbness sets
in the skin has been oversensitive for some time.  Over the affected
parts of the body, there is aching and a feeling of pins and needles.
Some parts of the body become numb, such as the nose or ears only.
One big problem is that swallowing becomes weak and swallowing
food becomes difficult.  Many a time, swallowing becomes weak, as
the person ages, and the food may choke the air passage, which proves
very dangerous.  In such patients,  Cadmium Sulph is not only useful
but it becomes absolutely necessary to administer.  Some children
may also exhibit similar symptoms.

Cadmium Sulph also works on the bones.  When the cold in a
Cadmium Sulph patient becomes chr onic, the bones of the nose start
decaying.  Like Cadmium Sulph, this is also a symptom of Mercury.

In Cadmium Sulph, minute spots form on the skin  as in goose skin.
These can be compared to the skin of a waterfowl, after its feathers
have been plucked.  In English, it is known as goose flesh.  This is
also present in Capsicum.

Cadmium Sulph is very useful for the proper functioning of the
stomach.  It proves very effective to treat the failing stomach ,
indigestion or rotting of the food  inside the stomach, foul-smelling
belches and severe nausea and vomiti ng.  It is also useful in the
treatment of cancer of the stomach.  It does not cure but offers
significant relief of the ailment. Cadmium Sulph restores the strength
of a patient whose muscles start wasting , leading to progressive
weakness.

In Cadmium Sulph, movement and sleep both aggravate the
symptoms.  Resting after taking food offers relief.  The patient feels
hungry constantly.  The hunger remains strong even if the digestive
system of the stomach has significa ntly failed.  Cadmium Sulph has
the capability of reviving a seriously sick patient who has strong
appetite, throws up dark vomit and whose condition is so grave as if
he is about to die.  In such a grave situation, Cadmium Sulph rather

than Carbo Veg will virtually revive the patient, unless destiny so
prevails.
