 TIPS FROM THE MASTERS…

I recommend that PSORINUM be tried in hydrocoele, an affliction, which is hard to cure because it presents no indicating symptoms.  The favorable action of PSORINUM on fluids in hernial sacs suggest it for hydrocoele.

Dr. Goullon.

Whenever migraine comes, if the patient sits holding a hot sponge on his head: PSORINUM.

Dr. Blakie.

 PSORINUM is usually needed at some time during the treatment of fibroids.

Dr. Hayes, M.D.

 PSORINUM: This precious anti-psoric remedy has, at various times, in many years, done wonderful work in all types of malnutrition, due to any cause, whether, it be disordered digestion, rickets, scurvy, syphilis, the result of acute infections or secondary anemia.

Dr. William B. Griggs, M.D.

Schizophrenic patients are notoriously dirty and careless of personal appearance. SULPHUR & PSORINUM are medicines to be considered.

Dr. Foubister, M.B., Ch.B., D.C.H.

 Sometimes after acute or violent diseases we find the patient greatly prostrated.  For instance, after Typhoid fever, he is depressed in mind, weak in body, low spirited, hopeless of recovery and yet you know that there is no absolute certainty that the patient cannot get well: that there are no organic lesions remaining. He has weakening night sweats.  Perhaps SULPHUR has been given without result.  In such cases PSORINUM is the remedy.

Dr. Farrington, M.D.

 PSORINUM should be remembered for extreme weakness in acute disease or for after-effects of infectious diseases lasting for years, it clears up recurrent or confused states.

Dr. P Banerjee.

 Give PSORINUM after an acute attack of Appendicitis has subsided, to prevent return

 I have found, at least several times that a remedy like PSORINUM, which is so terribly chilly, is necessary in the course of treatment of deep allergies, in spite of the fact that the patient is very warm-blooded.

Dr. Schmidt. M.D.

 PSORINUM: I have stopped the sweating head of rickets after the failure of CALCIUM AND SILICA.
