BOWEL NOSODES “Medicines prepared from cultures of non lactose fermenting bacterial flora of the intestinal tract are called intestinal Bowel Nosodes" .They are not the morbid product of disease _ but they come under nosodes.
3
BOWEL NOSODES B.coli in the intestinal tract perform normal & useful function when the intestinal mucosa is healthy ,but any change in the organism that affect the intestinal mucosa which affect the balance and change the biochemistry of B.coli.It should be noted that the primary change ,the disease originated in the host ,which compel the bacilli to modify in order to survive. The proving of bowel nosodes are not conducted in the strict Hahnemannian sense _ but on clinical observation of the sick person.

BOWEL NOSODES 1.Dr.Edward Bach (1886 - 1936)
A bacteriologist in London discovered that certain intestinal germs belongs to non lactose fermenting gram -ve coli typhoid group has close connection with chronic disease and its cure. These germs present in healthy and diseased individual but in the latter case it is pathogenic. He isolated the bacilli and given back to the patient in the form of vaccine - an autogenous vaccine - and claimed to cure the disease. Years later he potentised the vaccine according to the Homoeopathic principle and administered ,cured so many patients. First full preparation of clinical proving was done in 1929 by Thomas dishington on Dysentry.co.
5
BOWEL NOSODES In 1930 Bach briefly summarized clinically derived indication for most of the nosodes. In 1930 he stooped the research on Bowel nosodes and discovered "Bach flower remedies".

BOWEL NOSODES 2.JOHN PATERSON (1890- 1955)
A co-worker of Bach concentrated the research after 1929 He studied more deeply the characteristics of the bowel flora ,especially their behavior in health, disease and in drug proving. He examined more than 20,000 stool specimens and conducted research over 20 years. He came to the following conclusions The non lactose fermenting non pathogenic bowel flora (B.coli) undergoes definite changes in the disease condition. While this alternation in the nature of bowel flora might be a more concomitant to the disease condition, here is a reason to believe that the B.coli actually turns pathogenic. The balance of the bowel flora is distributed in disease. Similar changes are also observed in drug proving.
7
BOWEL NOSODES Paterson advocated specific recommendation on potency. dose & Repetition of Bowel nosodes #. He related each of the Bowel nosed to a group of Homoeopathic remedies. #. Bach fond out that the non lactose fermenting was closely associated with the symptoms collectively called Psora by Hahnemann. Paterson believed that gram -ve diplococci were directly related to the sycotic miasm. #. He grouped and typed the flora by continues experiment and observation. He was able to detect a definite relationship between certain drugs and certain type of bowel flora. When particular drug was administered in potencies the bowel flora was altered in a particular way. #. He divided the Morgan group of bacteria into 2 sub classes on bacterilogical grounds and thus created nosodes - Morgan pure &Morgan gartner.
8
BOWEL NOSODES #. In1933 Paterson presented a paper on Sycot.co
#. In 1950 he published summary of his accumulated experience. #. After his death in 1954,his wife Elizabeth Paterson continued the research.

INDICATION FOR THE USE OF BOWEL NOSODES
While case taking great attention should be given to the past as well as the presenting complaint. Bowel nosodes are the deep acting remedies so that the case taking must cover the totality of symptoms. The nosode should be administered in the same manner as any Homoeopathic remedy, they should not be given empirically but only on Homoeopathic principles. Paterson divided the case in to 2 groups New case _ when the patient has not taken Homoeopathic treatment. Old case - A patient under Homoeopathic treatment but not responding well.
10
INDICATION FOR THE USE OF BOWEL NOSODES
NEW CASES : 1. In a new case where a definite symptom picture points to a remedy,that should be given not the nosode. 2. In cases where the choice may be within a number of possible remedies , Eg. Sulphur,calcarea,graphitis, and it is difficult to select a remedy from this, Morgan pure can be considered to cover the totality of symptoms by referring the table.
11
INDICATION FOR THE USE OF BOWEL NOSODES
OLD CASE : This individual had Homoeopathic treatment over a period and received a considerable number of remedies in various potencies. These are difficult cases, there is no available evidence from stool culture to give a clue to the group of remedies likely to be useful or as to the phase in which the patient is at the moment. In such cases, it should be remembered that the potentised remedy can alter the bowel flora and that in old cases the remedy already given may have caused a positive phase ,that is changed the B.coli to non lactose fermenting bacilli. If the percentage of Non lactose fermenting bacteria in the stool is greater than 50% the administration of bowel nosode is contraindicated, the nosode given at that time produce a negative phase with the corresponding period of vital depression in the patient. In such cases use a nosode in 6c potency in the first instance to avoid the chance of violent negative reaction.
12
INDICATION FOR THE USE OF BOWEL NOSODES
The choice of the nosode for any case may be determined by a study of the clinical histories and noting down the remedies which has given the greatest ,although not sustained effect. Tabulate this list of remedies and compare it with the nosode list and associated remedies and chose the nosode which has the greatest number with in its group
13
BOWEL NOSODES DOSE, POTENCY & REPETITION
As in Homoeopathy more obvious the mental, higher the potency ,but lower the potency if marked pathological symptoms are present. But between these two extremes use 30th potency - when there is a combination of acute and chronic state.Eg. in chronic bronchopneumonia. Proteus acts best in high potency Gartner will not work in low potency
14
BOWEL NOSODES According to Paterson do not repeat a bowel nosode with in three months and not to prescribe a bowel nosode again with in three months if one has been ceased. HOW BOWEL NOSODES WORK After the administration of the suitable nosode,the curative process begins, the non lactose fermenting bacteria begin to mutate to other group and ultimately disappear, these happenings occur simultaneously with the disappearance of the symptom,re appearance of the old symptoms and the efflorescence of the skin eruptions with ultimate clearing and associated with a marked increase in the vitality of the patient. The bacilli change with the patient. This mutation of the non lactose fermenting bacteria back to normal coli has been demonstrated in the laboratory.
