REAL CURE. GENTLE CURE.
The other day an old woman visited me. Chronic rheumatism patient. She had her prolapsed uterus removed surgically fifteen years before. The arthritis started after that. Five years ago she had a bad bout of pneumonia. Three years back she had developed tuberculosis, which was treated by allopathic drugs. She also has blood pressure problems ( metasis of rheumatism to the heart).
But the ailment she had come to be treated was that she suffered from internal trembling at night. During the tremors, she feels very excited and was fearful of death. She used to shout at her family then. During the tremors she used to become another person. Her family said she appeared insane then.
It was clear it was the syphilis miasm. Her problem arose at night only. I looked up "internal trembling" in the nerves chapter of Robin Murphy repertory. But none of the remedies seemed to fit. I tried causticum, but it only palliated.
It was the Murphy repertory which gave me the first clue. Under mania, syphilitic there are only two remedies, syphilinum and Kali Iodatum. I gave syphilinum first because it is a remedy when rheumatism attacks the nervous system.
It helped but the lady was not cured.
Then Kent came to my help. In his lectures on the Materia Medica, he says on Kali Iod, "There is a very strong degree of irritability, cruelty, and harshness of temper. He is harsh with his family and with his children; abusive. It will take all the sense of refinement out of his mind and then he will become sad and tearful."
The description fitted my patient's mentals like a glove!
I gave her Kali Iodatum. She reports her nocturnal agonies have ceased.
Kali Iod is not mentioned in "trembling, internal" in the repertory!
Rajan Sankaran, thank you!
