The attenuations are prepared from Rubidium chloride, RbCl, MW: 120.9.

Rubidium is one of the alkaline metals, which bear a greater mutual similarity than the elements of any other group. Furthermore, their whole physical and chemi- cal behaviour is governed by their marked striving to form compounds.

In nature, on account of their great ability to react, the alkaline metals do not occur as elements, but only as ions of oxidation-stage +1. Whereas sodium is the most commonly occurring alkaline earth element and makes up some 2.6% of the earth’s crust as an important compound of many silicates, Rubidium (and Caesium) only occur in very small quantities, accompanying other alkaline metals.

Admittedly it is not yet proven whether and to what extent Rubidium may be de- fined as a trace metal, insofar as symptoms of a trace element deficiency in the form of a disease might occur if Rubidium were lacking. Rubidium’s position in the peri-

odic table of elements in the first group (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cae- sium and francium) shows us what fundamental importance is accorded to the ap- parently simplest natural mineral substances, to a certain extent the “proto-sub- stances” (Leeser) in the energy-relationships between the human psychosomatic unit and the proto-substances or elements from which it is formed. The periodic table was previously drawn up by Lothar Meyer and Mendeleyev taking into account the elements then known according to their atomic weights. Now, following more recent atomic research, the elemental table has been arranged so as to incorporate the addi- tional knowledge of their electron-structure.

It is known that, according to Bohr’s atomic model, atoms consist of positive nu- clear charges, around which negative electrons pass in one or more orbits. The peri- odic number is determined by the number of orbits and electrons, the “number in the order” being equal to the number of positive charges of the nucleus in question.

The chemical valency, i.e. the ability of the element to react chemically, is deter- mined by the atomic periphery, whilst on the other hand the internal autonomy of the element is determined by the number and structure of the nuclear charges (Leeser). The alkaline metals (elements in Group 1) show a lack of electrons (ion charge +1), whilst the halogens (elements of Group 7) show a surplus of electrons (ion charge

–1).

Thus it will be understood that atoms of Groups 1 and 7 form compounds easily, in order to balance their charges.

Leeser has set out the importance of the mineral remedies, not only of the basic elements and the more complex elements, but also the relationship of these basic el- ements to water, since this is of the greatest importance for their medicinal action.

Leeser sees in the position of the elements in the periodic table a possibility of ar- ranging the mineral remedies also in the seven main vertical groups. On the other hand in the subsidiary groups the chemical valency recedes, and to compensate for this, the physical structural or nuclear relationship assumes greater importance.

In compounds it will become clear that in some cases it is the cation and in others the anion which carries the main medicinal action, whilst in others the emphases may be equally shared.

In Rubidium Muriaticum, apart from the action of the Rubidium, that of the Chlo- rine is also important. Whilst we cannot yet draw on the results of a proving to es- tablish any symptomatology, effects in keeping with those of a trace element are likely. Thus Rubidium Muriaticum is found in combination preparations which may be used to compensate for a trace element deficiency.

The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from rubella vaccine.

Rubella (“German measles”) has gained in importance in recent decades with the knowledge that infection of the mother during the first three months of pregnancy can result in damage to the foetus in the form of congenital heart disease, with pos- sible deafness and blindness.

Rubella is caused by infection with the rubella virus, (with some 2–3 weeks’ incu- bation period and then a rash similar to that of measles, or in some cases similar to scarlet fever), but without any notably serious complaints apart from swelling of the cervical glands and mild changes in the state of the blood.

Thus the Rubella Nosode could be used in peripheral swellings of the lymph glands, especially those near the mastoid process, in the occipital and posterior cer- vical region, and those, especially on the left side, which extend along the edge of the sternocleidomastoid like a string of pearls, and also those in the axilla and in the crease of the elbow and inguinal area.

Also when large lymphocytes are found in the blood, and the so-called “wheel-nu- cleus” lymphocytes (i.e. those with nuclear chromatin arranged like the spokes of a wheel), and plasma cells (i.e. usually lymphocytes: cells with particularly thick pro- toplasm which colours dark blue under the usual stain), one should think of Rubella Nosode, and also if women succumb to any kind of infectious diesease in the first three months of pregnancy.

Since, after the mother has had Rubella, anomalies of the lens are found in the em- bryo, the Rubella Nosode could also be tried in cataract, likewise in deafness, if no pathogenetic cause can be found.

The mother tincture is prepared from  the fresh bark of the young twigs of the   plant Robinia pseudoacacia L., a native of Eastern North America and Mexico, and commonly found in Europe as an ornamental tree. N.O. Leguminosae.

The main indications are:

Sour gastric catarrh with acid risings like vinegar. Duodenal ulcer.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Robinia pseudacacia, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for robinia pseudacacia: gastric hyperacidity; diarrhoea.
