If there's one word that fills us with dread after an injury or operation, it's Sepsis.
This fear fades away almost by itself once you familiarise yourself with the next remedy in my homeopathic emergency series: Pyrogenium.
This remedy works wonderfully! I have treated myself with it and it is simply incredible. (Of course all homeopathic remedies work very well when used correctly, but this one is just… even if I risk repeating myself… incredible and astonishing).
Whether the sepsis is in the skin, in the blood (septicaemia) or in the bone (osteomyelitis) – an infection with high fever that does not respond to antibiotics or other homeopathic remedies calls for Pyrogenium.
A C200 is usually prescribed, but a C30 often works just as well.
This remedy is particularly helpful after surgical procedures when sepsis develops around the wound.
Pyrogenium is an excellent remedy for soldiers and was – you may be surprised to learn – used frequently during the Civil War. Many army physicians were trained homeopaths and treated wounded and fallen young men on battlefields with this remedy (as well as other homeopathic remedies).
If you have relatives in the military who are on active duty, Pyrogenium should certainly not be missing from your emergency kit.
Far too many patients lose a leg or an arm after a septic infection of the bone (not only in war, but also at home in civilian life) when antibiotic therapy fails. Pyrogenium is one of the most important homeopathic medicines to consider in such infections. It is by no means the only one, but sometimes one of the most crucial. Because our homeopathics do not rely on good blood supply to the injured area, they are very suitable for infections that attack bone tissue.
Pyrogenium is also one of the leading remedies for puerperal fever (infection of the mother after childbirth). This septic condition still occurs in developing countries today, but thankfully it is by no means as common as in the early 19th century when puerperal fever reached epidemic proportions.
Here are a few very interesting facts:
In the past, women in labour on maternity wards were attended by doctors who would sometimes move between dissected corpses and women in labour without washing their hands. For this reason mortality rates among newly delivered mothers were particularly high in teaching hospitals.
What is obvious and self-evident to us today was hardly practised back then: without adequate hygiene the doctors regularly transmitted bacterial infections from dissected corpses to their patients!
Midwives who attended home births knew better, as shown by the low mortality rate among these mothers. Because they attended one birth at a time and never concurrently, they were able to contain the spread of puerperal fever.
The Viennese physician Dr Ignaz Semmelweis investigated this aspect of maternal mortality in the puerperal period and gave his colleagues the clear recommendation to wash their hands between patients.
What radical thinking!
At the time scientists were not yet convinced by the concept of pathogens and mocked the views of the Viennese physician. Worse still, they persecuted him until he withdrew from the medical community and ended up dying from a blood infection in a sanatorium for the mentally ill.
Only when Dr Louis Pasteur and Dr Joseph Lawrence were able to demonstrate that there was indeed a scientific basis for hand disinfection did infection rates gradually decline.
Can you imagine that? Something that is so obvious and straightforward to us today was ridiculed by the 'educated' scientists of that era!
The current state of medical knowledge can, under certain circumstances, be quite short-sighted.
But I digress…
Our emergency remedy this week, Pyrogenium, belongs in absolutely every home medicine cabinet. In our age of antibiotic-resistant bacteria we can do with an extra dose of confidence and calm. Well informed and equipped with a bottle of Pyrogenium we can protect our families from infections and particularly from sepsis.
Spread the word!
