## Keynote Indications
In the year 1925, Joseph Roy is believed to have observed in some conditions of a culture 
the existence of a germ animated by an oscillating movement. He named the nosode Oscillococcinum because 
of this fact. These researches helped him to describe a remedy of which the clinical experi ments in the 
infections of influenza were carried out in particular by Paul Chavanon. 
Oscilloc. was developed by Boiron Laboratory in France. Pierre Schmidt said Oscilloc. is for “influenza at the 
beginning as a preventive, as well as during convalescence” 
Influenza of all types, especially in the earlier stages. Epidemic influenza. B ursting headaches and muscle 
aching. Gastro-intestinal troubles with the influenza. Beginning of influenza, rhinitis and otitis. Tendency to 
get influenza. 
Given early it is very efficacious. To obtain good results in a case which begins and to cut short the 
manifestations of influenza, it is necessary to use one dose of Oscillococ cinum 200c every 2 to 3 hours or 
repeat only if necessary. 
Anxiety, paleness, chill. Sensitiveness to barometric weather changes. Tuberculous patients sensitive to cold. 
Asthenia, hyper thermia. Eye and nasal catarrh. Bronchial congestion. Painful congestion of the ear drum. 
Schmidt noted it for “Mastoiditis, at the beginning of a disease which does not develop.”
