It is \nsoluble in alcohol and ether. It occurs in the blood and brain, yolk of eggs, seeds and buds of plants, but most \nabundantly in the bile and gallstones. \nDr. Wilhelm Ameke of Berlin first men tioned this remedy. Dr. Burnett, at Ameke's suggestion, used the lower \npotencies with more or less success for several years, a description of which Burnett gives in his Diseases of \nthe Liver. \nChoi, was introduced by Swan. He ap peared to have taken his hint from Burnett's work and potentized the \nremedy, using a gallstone for his preparations. \nSwan affirmed, after much experience, that it is almost a specific for gallstone colic. It relieves the distress \nat once and this after failure with Nux-v., Chin., Card-m\u201e Podo, and other apparently well-selected remedies. \nAmeke recommended Choi, as a remedy in cancer of the liver.

In such a case, when one cannot give a well -selected remedy, give Cholesterinum and thus far it \nhas never failed. \n\u201cIt can be used instead of Morphine in cases where the symptoms cannot be obtained for the proper selection \nof a remedy. \nIt is very improbable that a person suffering from gallstone colic will wait very long for the physician to study \nthe case.\u201d \nAmeke claimed to have derived great advantages from its use in cases diagnosed as cancer of the liver, or in \nsuch obstinate engorgements that malignancy was suspected. \nClarke cured a case in the last stage of liver disease. He had been given up by his medical attendant, who \nordered him to make his will without delay. \nB urnett c laimed to have twice cured cancer of the liver with it and \u201cin hepatic engorge ments that by reason \nof their intractable and slow yielding to well-selected remedies make one think of cancer.\u201d \nIn such conditions, where the diagnosis is in doubt, especially if the patient has been subjected to repeated \nattacks of biliary colic, Choi., he claimed is very satisfactory and at times its action even striking. It has been \nused with success in the removal of opacities of the vitreous. \nBurnett used the 3x or the 3c trituration and substantial doses. He commended it in \u201cobstinate hepatic \nengorgements, which by reason of their obstinacy make one think interrogatively of cancer.\u201d  \nAlso in \u201ccases in which there appears to be a semi -malignant affection involving the left lobe of the liver and \nwhat lies between it and the pylorus and the pancreas.\u201d In such cases Burnett gave alternately Choi. 3x and \nIodoform 3x."},"schema_version":"1.0","api_provider":"Allahshafi"}
