1. THE USE OF NOSODES IN PRACTICE MOLLIE HUNTON FFHom

2. HISTORY NOSOS = DISEASE (pathos=suffering) First nosode used by Hahnemann : Psorinum, but not for scabies. It was proven as a general remedy. Nosodes have been called “oral vaccines”. Hering introduced Lyssin in 1833, long before Pasteur’s work on rabies. Influenzinum a big help in treating the 1919 flu pandemic.

3. My interest in nosodes Prof Francisco Eizayaga 1928 - 2001

4. Dr F.Eizayaga ► Prof of homeopathic medicine at the University of Buenos Aires. Full time homeopathic practice from 1952. Taught all over the world. Came to England to lecture in 1984. The Midlands Branch has a copy of the tapes. Particularly interested in homeopathic treatment of epidemics. (meningitis)

5. Eizayaga said ► Likelihood of getting a good prescribing match ie a constitutional remedy (especially in a G.P.setting) is low. ► To improve the outcome possibilities add in a nosode. ► The remedy and nosode seem to work on different parts of the immune system.

6. NOSODE Medicine derived from pathological material. May be of plant, animal or human origin. Includes micro-organisms, diseased tissue, or the product of disease processes, such as discharges and effusions. Ref: International Dictionary of Homeopathy. J. Swayne 2000
