cAMP – cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate

The attenuations are prepared from Adenosine cyclic-3’,5’-(hydrophosphate) C₁₀H₁₂N₅O₆P, MW: 329.2.

cAMP has become known as a significant intracellular regulating factor, which is produced in the cell-membrane as the result of stimuli which proceed in part from the surrounding connective tissue. During this production, cell-differentiation takes place and other hormonal stimuli are transmitted. cAMP is antagonistic towards cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate), through which undifferentiated cell growth is promoted, i.e. cancerous tumours. The cancer cell is distinguished – apart from disturbance in respiration and mutation – by unlimited growth of undifferenti- ated cells (without the usual inhibiting factors).

cAMP is used principally for stimulative reactivation in enzyme-blocks (cell- membrane enzymes such as adenylate cyclase), in cellular phases, iatrogenic dam-

age, and may be tried experimentally in virus diseases and as a supportive treatment in cancer.

For expediency, it is given in the form of injections, and the further to the right of the Biological Section the phase is orientated, the higher the potencies. e.g. in tu- mours 30X and 20X, in inflammations (reaction phases) 6X or 8X, whilst the 12X represents a medium potency which may also be indicated in tumours.

The drug picture of cAMP was composed in June 1996 by David Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.

The most important symptoms from David Riley’s drug proving were:
