TUBERCULINUM

mit generierter deutscher Übersetzung
Pulfords

Remarks:
Tub. naturally brings to mind the tubercular,
feeble patient who is anemic,
pale, nervous, waxy, always tired,
whose symptoms are kaleidoscopic, ever-changing [they invade one organ, leave it and proceed to another danx; DD - Puls. nh6];
when our deepest acting remedies act but a short time and must be changed,
one who has inherited tuberculosis, whose case either relapses or changes symptoms.
The cases are characterized by bruised soreness all over, even eyeballs,
subject to cold sweat on head,
face becomes red, even purple during chill,
thirst during chill and
heat for large quantities of cold water, all gone,
faint, hungry feeling at stomach, aversion to meat, desire for [cold danx] milk,
dry, hacking cough before chill,
desire for fresh air, agg. warm room,
cold, cold damp weather or becoming cold,
amel. motion (esp. if Rhus-t. fails), mentally restless.
It follows Calc. and Rhus-t. well.
Like Rhus-t. it has a dry, hacking cough that precedes the chill and comes in after Rhus-t., if Rhus-t. fails to permanently amel. the cough.
It is a deeper acting remedy than Sulph., and like Sulph. to be thought of when the supposedly well chosen,
but unfortunately only apparently indicated remedy,
has acted only partially and then either fails to hold or to go on and clear up the case,
even after Sulph. [or Psor. danx] has failed in this condition.
[Diph., Tub. and Vario.: They remove the predisposition to diphtheria, tuberculosis and smallpox respectively as no other known remedies or methods can do and
in a manner that is not only effective but an unmixed blessing to humanity.
The removal of the predisposition to any disease is the only true and safe method of disease prevention.
The futile methods now in force can never be otherwise than disastrous and the ever-increasing death rate from heart failure attests and confirms our statement.].

Nash nh6

Tub. or Bac. is indicated if there is a family history of tuberculosis.
The patient complains that he takes a fresh cold every little while, and he does not know how.

Dewey dw2

"Arnulphy says that in lobular [lobar- Ed.]pneumonia this remedy surpasses
Phos. or Ant-t., and competent observers are convinced that it has an important place in the treatment of pneumonia,
some using it in every case intercurrently;
doses varying from 6x to 30x [Ed. D6-D30?]."

Santwami smw1

Children with family history of tuberculosis are especially helped by this remedy.
It is useful in broncho-pneumonia with hard cough and rales all over the chest.
The child sweats a great deal and loses weight.
Dyspnea with longing for cold air.
The typical Tub-child is sensitive to cold, catches cold frequently, is afraid of animals especially dogs and has offensive discharges.
One single does of 1M potency generally brings remarkable relief to the little patient.

Olds

In those cases where the pneumonic process was early arrested,
but leaving the patient with a dry, irritating cough with a little clear blood in the sputum,
and sharp, sticking pains in the affected part;
and in those cases that, several days after the lung fever had subsided,
began to run a degree of fever for a few hours each day,
with much exhaustion and irritability,
deep seated headache,
cough with little or no expectoration,
and a desire to lie quietly on the back because of the undue sensitiveness of the affected side. (Olds; Homeopathic Recorder, 1929)

Vakil vk8

With viral pneumonia Tub-a. [Ed. instead of Tub.] might help.

Phatak ptk2

Pneumonia; after influenza.

Ghose gsbx

Agonizing chill and in some cases there were vomiting and convulsions;
the cough was dry, painful and incessant, associated with viscid, rust-colored and very tenacious expectoration;
there were lancinating, stabbing, thoracic pains, percussion showed isolated points of consolidation, vocal fremitus being increased over these areas;
auscultation revealed fine mucous rales over the affected areas,
heard during inspiration and exspiration and of a metallic character,
indicating pulmonary consolidation;
the pulse was rapid, full and bounding;
there was considerable pain in the chest;
extreme respiratory difficulty existed;
the fever was very high;
the face was flushed and depicted extreme anxiety;
vocal resonance was increased and herpetic eruptions about the lips were present;
headache was very distressing and there was mental aberration.
It is particularly to be noted here,
that these patients [Ed.: 9 cases published all treated with 200 C potency gsbx] had no tuberculous element present in their systems and
they did not inherit any tubercular diathesis from their parents or grandparents.
