Category: Materia Materica

Materia medica is a Latin term from the history of pharmacy for the body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance used for healing. The term derives from the title of a work by the Ancient Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides in the 1st century AD. The term materia medica was used from the period of the Roman Empire until the 20th century but has now been generally replaced in medical education contexts by the term pharmacology. The term survives in the title of the British Medical Journal’s Materia Non Medica column.

  • Infectious diseases

    (Reaction phases)

    Infectious organisms can become established and flourish only on suitable homotoxic terrain. On the other hand, numerous potentially pathogenic micro-organisms exist as saprophytes frequently in close symbiosis with the human organism (oral cavity, intestine, etc.). The organism frequently makes use of pathogenic bacteria as auxiliary

    factors in decomposing and eliminating homotoxic material through the reaction phase. In the case of serious homotoxic strain it can, however, certainly be indicated for the purpose of avoiding fulminating sepsis, that penicillin and other antibiotics should be administered. This should apply only to exceptional cases, however, particularly as most infectious diseases respond to biotherapeutics and antihomotoxic agents  (usually, also, in a considerably shorter time), ending in a complete cure, i.e., in the course of the infectious reaction phases, the homotoxic material is detoxicated and eliminated (pus, mucus, etc.)

    For general therapy, the following are suitable:

    Belladonna-Homaccord every hour to two hours, 8-10 drops, later 3-4 times daily. Arnica-Heel for imminent sepsis and exhaustion.

    Mercurius-Heel S for suppurative inflammation, furuncles, angina. Gripp-Heel for influenza and catarrh caused by chill.

    Aconitum-Homaccord for influenza and catarrh caused by chills. Angin-Heel S for angina diphtheritic.

    Traumeel S for suppurative inflammation and abscess formation. Engystol N for virus diseases.

    Hepeel to strengthen the detoxicating hepatic function.

    Bryaconeel (fever), Nux vomica-Homaccord (gastric influenza), Veratrum-Homaccord and Diarrheel S (enteritis), etc.

    See also ejaculation, premature; fertility, disturbances of.

    Impregnation phases

    are often still reversible. As principal remedies, Galium-Heel and Traumeel S are appropriate per os and i.v., possibly in addition, Psorinoheel (migraine, skin diseases) as well as Engystol N (i.v., i.m. ) The progressive auto-sanguis therapy is always particularly effective with suitable ampoule preparations and Suis-organ preparations. See under the individual indications.Further, the use of suitable Nosode preparations is important, when, in particular, Grippe-Nosode-Injeel and Granuloma dentis-Injeel are frequently indicated, since numerous impregnation phases have arisen from the retoxic treatment of acute reaction phases or have originated from foci (fields of disturbance). Several of Heel’s Composita preparations are excellently suited for the treatment of impregnation phases of all kinds. In impregnation phases the enzymes are always more or less blocked, when possibly (especially with the continuous use of analgesics, soporifics, antibiotics, bactericides, etc.,) there is a transition to the degeneration phases. Since a more or less pronounced liver damage is also always present (in addition to damage to the connective tissue as well as to the other organs of the main defensive system, e.g. the mechanism of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and  the cortex of the suprarenal gland, bone marrow, etc.), the following treatment is recommended, particularly in the case of indistinct symptomatology: Coenzyme compositum, Hepar compositum, Ubichinon compositum, Thyreoidea compositum, possibly also Discus compositum, possibly also Testis compositum or Ovarium compositum (for women), to be administered every 2-3 days, alternating.

    When some reactions occur, the mixed and single remedy Injeels and Homaccords (including oral) adapted to the symptomatology are administered at intervals, in particular also Galium-Heel, Lymphomyosot, Psorinoheel (orally and parenterally) and possibly Engystol N.

    It is essential to be quite clear that after each injection the underlying homotoxic substrate undergoes a change which, in impregnation phases which have come to a standstill, however, owing to enzyme damage, always occurs in about the same intermediary homotoxin material, so that (as in general in the cellular phases) each preparation which has proved to be effective must usually be administered over a fairly long period.

    Especially in the impregnation phases extensive possibilities of a

    cure still exist, i.e. reactivation of the disturbed enzyme functions. Of course, it is essential to advise the patient seriously to pursue a biologically correct mode of life  and diet, since (especially in later life) a certain locus minoris resistance remains,  which reappears when there is over-burdening with poisons (exogenous intake of toxins, as from tobacco, alcohol, sutoxins, etc.) In this case the danger always exists, especially when allopathic preparations are used, that the latent impregnation phase may then be converted unexpectedly into a progressive vicariation, into the degeneration or even neoplasm phase.
