Prof J T Kent and Tuberculinum
The Lectures of Prof J.T. Kent.
It was necessary for me to refresh my memory of Kents elucidation of the remedy Tuberculinum.
There were a number of things I had , over a period of time overlooked or forgotten. Out of interest , and because others may also have forgotten them , I give a few quotes .
If Tuberculinum be given in 10m , 50m and Cm potencies two doses of each potency at long intervals , all children and young people who have inherited a tendency to tuberculosis may be immuned from their inheritance and their resiliency will be restored. It cures most cases of Adenoids and tuberculous glands of the neck.
It is true that phthisis [TB] and insanity are convertible conditions, that one falls into the other . Many cases that are treated and CURED , and phthisis of the lungs has just been turned aside , finally become insane . Persons who have been cured of insanity and go into phthisis and die, showing the deep seated character of their nature. The intellectual symptoms and the lung symptoms are interchangeable.
Screams in his sleep , Is very restless at night , sister died of tubercular meningitis . It has cured Hydrocephalus.
All know what a marked feature emaciation is in persons who are going into phthisis . The emaciation often begins before there is any sign of phthisis , gradually losing flesh . A gradually growing weakness, a gradually increasing fatigue. [ I have often felt that Tuberculinum has a place in the treatment of AIDS]
The uterus sags down and is heavy. At the menstrual period, a relaxation , as if the inner parts would come out. [ how many use Sepia and ignore this remedy?].
Another marked feature recorded by Burnett was ringworms. He thought it a sign of of those who have inherited phthisis and used Bacillinum 200 He used it as a remedy on every child with ringworm.
Aching drawing pain in limbs during rest and better by walking . A strong feature of this remedy is that its aches and pains are better by motion. I have seen this aching distress in the limbs many times where RHUS seemed to be the remedy but was not deep enough to hold its action . The chronic nature of the case prevents the action of RHUS and Tuberculinum cures these cases.
