What I was referring to was an average person being bitten by the cobra, those who are in the profession of dealing with snakes, usually develop the immunity after having been bitten several times, so we can't use that as a proof that you can survive a cobra's bite without anti-venonm.
Regarding remedies and Boericke, that's my question, in real life threatening situations where seconds count, would you be willing to second guess if the remedy you chose was correct or simply adopt the known and guaranteed route of anti-venom.
Recent research (which includes Royal Air Force, if I remember correctly) has concluded that the cut&suck the poison out approach doesn't help and have removed it from their survival manuals.
The part which I find amusing under such circumstances is that the victim would be dying and turning blue and a homeopath would be trying to establish if the victim wants open air or closed room, and shaking the patient to reply if the pain is shooting in nature or burning, if his toungue is coated or not and since his tongue was not coated so the remedy xxx chosen for the snake bite didn't work and he died
Anyway, I think now I know my choice with certainty.
