Does anyone have the Materia Medica information on the subject remedy?

Hi Bob,

Google suggested alternative of "parathormone", which took me to
Julian's "Materia Medica of new Homeopathic Remedies," whose index
notes: "Parathormone, see Parathyroid Hormone."

Here's what Murphy has about that:

PARATHYROIDINUM
(Parathyroid Hormone)
PHARMACY - parathyr. Parathyroidinum. Parathyroid hormone. Sarcode.
Historical dose: All potencies.
CLINICAL - Arthritis. Bone, disorders. Calcium, deposits. Chilblains.
Emaciation. Fibrocystic, osteitis. Hematuria. Kidney, stones. Multiple,
myeloma. Muscular, hypotonia. Myasthenia. Osteogenesis, imperfecta.
Osteoporosis. Paget's disease. Pancreatitis. Polyuria. Rheumatism.
Tabes. Varicose, ulcer.
HOMEOPATHIC - Parathyroid secretion plays an important part in
phosphorus and in the regulation of calcium in the blood. The
hypercalcemic parathyroid hormone was first isolated in 1925 by Hansen.
It increases the level of calcium in the blood, reduces the level of
calcium in the urine and increases the amount of phosphorus in the
urine.
General weakness. Asthenia. Fatigue. Depression. Pallor. Emaciation.
Tabes. Dry skin, eczema. Hair loss. Grave's disease. Hypersensitivity.
Nervous irritability. Hypomania.
Paralysis agitans. Puerperal convulsions and epilepsy. Tetany, when
there is a disturbance of the calcium metabolism and it is associated
with muscular irritation and hyperexcitability. Chronic rheumatism.
Pains in the thorax, lumbar region and lower limbs.
Arthritis of the wrists, ankles, knees, hips. Demineralization of the
bones. Osteoporosis. Diffuse pain in the bones, especially in the long
bones. Paresis of the limbs. Walking painful, difficult, dragging.
Myasthenia gravis. Muscular hypotonia. Paget's disease.
Belated gastric attacks. Polyuria. Hematuria. Increased level of
calcium and reduction of phosphorus in the blood, increased alkaline
phosphate liberating enzymes. Great calcium loss."

Best wishes!

Parathyreoidinum
[PARATHYROID HORMONE]
(Parathormone)

Source
Parathyroid secretion plays an important part
in phosphocalcic metabolism, and in particular,
in the regulation of calcium in the blood.
The hypercalcaemic parathyroid hormone, or
parathormone, was first isolated in 1925 by Hanson.
Collip and collaborators prepared a parathyroid
extract in 1925 whose activity was established by
its action on the blood calcium level of a
parathyroid gland excised from a dog.
The initial procedure was heat extraction, using dilute hydrochloric acid.
Rasmussen used two other methods : extraction
by acetic acid, in an aqueous solution of phenol,
to obtain extracts which were subsequently
purified by filtration on Sephadex gel and by chromatography.
Several polypeptides with hormonal action were
also obtained in the same way, from the parathyroid gland of an ox.
Their molecular weight varies from 3,700 to 9,000.
The polypeptide P.M. 8500 is the active form
of the hormone contained in the gland.
This polypeptide is made up of a unique chain of 83 amino acids.
The hypercalcaemic parathyroid hormone
increases the level of calcium in the blood,
reduces the level of calcium in the urine, and
increases the amount of phosphorus in the urine.
More recently, experimental results have
indicated the existence of a parathyroidian
secretion whose action diminishes the level of calcium in the blood.
It was the clinical syndrome of the primitive
hyperparathyroid hormone which drew Fouché's
attention to establishing a homoeopathic clinical symptomatology.
Primitive hyperparathyroidism is explained by :
1) an osseous syndrome whose clinical
manifestation is expressed by pain in the bones,
aggravated by standing or walking, and also
expressed by spontaneous fractures, swelling in
the bones, and bone deformities.
In radiology, one can observe : abnormal
transparency of the skeleton; the cortex of the
long bones is decalcified; the medullary canal is
enlarged, and these signs are especially present in the hands and jaws.
Cavities can also be seen, again, primarily in
the hands and jaws, as well as tumours, which
enlarge the bones by pushing back the periosteum.
2) The extra-osseous syndrome occurs in 40% of the cases.
It is characterized by : Its effects on the
urinary organs, polyuria, renal lithiasis, and nephro-calcinosis.
Its effects on the digestive system, with
anorexia, post-prandial epigastric pains, and constipation.
Also gastric atony and ulcers in the low duodenum.
Its effects on the cardiac muscle, with
palpitations, tachycardia, and shortening of the
Q.T. interval on the electrocardiogram.
Its effects on the muscles, with asthenia and muscular hypotonia.
Its psychological effects, with depressive tendency and mental confusion.
3) The biological syndrome is characterized by
an increase of calcium and a reduction of
phosphorus in the blood, as well as an increase
of phosphates in the urine, and an increase of
the alkaline phosphate-liberating enzymes.
Fouché noticed that the work of Oppel and
Leriche showed how the removal of the parathyroid
gland improves the condition of patients with
chronic ankylosing rheumatism, but only temporarily.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism
Can occur as a defence reaction by the
organism, which aims to maintain the normal level of calcium in the blood.
The level can become reduced as a result of :
1) a diminution in the calcium deposits in the
bone, or disorders of alimentary deposits, or
because of absorption complaints. 2) destruction
of the skeleton following osseous carcinoma or
myeloma. 3) renal malfunctioning
(glomerulonephritis, tubular nephritis,
idiopathic increase in the level of calcium in the urine).
