A Homeopatia e a febre / Homeopathy and fever

A febre é um sinal clínico muito associado à infecção, gerando grande número de atendimentos em emergências e consultórios, e uso indiscriminado de antipiréticos.É desencadeada pela ação de citocinas pirogênicas endógenas e exógenas, desempenhando funções protetoras no organismo e auxiliando na recuperação. Conhecendo a importância da febre no mecanismo imunológico, e com a intenção de aliviar o desconforto do paciente, o medicamento homeopático tem como finalidade restabelecer a força vital, acelerando o processo de cura. Dentre todos os medicamentos homeopáticos, o simillimum é encontrado através da totalidade sintomática do paciente.Neste trabalho listamos alguns dos principais medicamentos utilizados para o tratamento da febre e suas indicações.(AU)

Fever is a clinical symptom generally associated to infection, generating a large number of emergency cases and medical appointments, and an indiscriminate use of antipyretics. The fever is triggered by the action of endogenous and exogenous pyrogenic cytokines, performing protective functions in the organism and aiding in the recovery. Regarding the importance of the fever in the immune mechanism, and with the intent to relieve the discomfort of the patient, the homeopathic medicine aims to restore the vital force, accelerating the healing process. Among all homeopathic medicines, simillimum is found through totality of symptoms manifested by the patient.(AU)

Homeopathy as a supportive therapy in cancer

Theree cases of cancer in which homepathic treatment was used in a complementary role are described: a 64 years old male with mtastic adenocarcinoma of the rectum. The patient refused surgery. He was treated constitutionally with Lycopodium. He survied nealy 3 years with no further hospitalization or othr complication. A 77 year old female with terminal squamous cell carcinoma of the cheek previously treated adiotheapy... (AU)

Les remedes de l'inflammation: Aconit, Belladonna, Ferrum phosphoricum / Drugs of inflammation: Aconitum, Belladona, Ferrum phosphoricum

Les etats inflammatoires sont caracterises par les signes de la tetrade classique: rubour (rouger), calor (chaleur, fievre), tumor (tumefaction), dolor (douleur). C'est leur degre d'intensite ainsi que les symptomes associes qui vont permettre de differencier ces trois remedes piliers de la therapeutique homeopathique. (AU)

Semences de Matiere medicales homeopathieque, sixieme partie: Digitalis a Glonoinum / Seeds of homeopathic materia medica, sixth part: Digitalis to Glonoinum

La plupart des donnees contenues dans cette Matiere medicale homeopathique sont inedites. Elles ont ete deduites ou calculees a partir des provings originaux de l'Encyclopedie de Matiere medicale pure, de Timothee Field Allen, et des Guiding Symptoms, de Constantin Hering. En ce qui concerne les indications thermales, elles font partie d'un ouvrage de crenotherapie homeopathique exhaustif, inedit a ce jour et portant sur cent stations thermales francaises. (AU)

Ferrum phosphoricum

Ferrum phosphoricum is a remedy poorly known in homoeopathy. Except for the indication 'ffever with no or little other symptoms' it is rarely prescribed (or only used as Schussler salt). The results of this proving offer new moalities as well as a mental picture and may open new application for this interesting remedy. The method of proving itself is unconventional and deserves to be evaluated

Mission humanitaire au dispensaire du Foyer de Charite de BANGUI (R. C. A.) en mai 1990 / Humanitarian mission in the dispensary of the Charity's House of BANGUI (R. C. A.) in May 1990

Dans le cadre de notre sejour a Bangui, nous nous proposons d'etudier les effets des traitements homeopathiques sur des cas d'otites suppurees a tympan perfore chez des enfants de moins de trois ans

Methode d'etude de l'activite des dilutions infinitesimales sur des cellules isoles / Study method of infinitesimal dilutions activity in isolated cells

L'etude de l'activite desdilutions infinitesimales sur les cellules isolees peut s'effectuer sur des cellules stimulees in vitro et/ou sensibilisees in vivo. Des travaux recents effectues dans ces conditions ont permis de demontrer les effets inhibiteurs: -de Phytolacca sur la transformation des lymphocytes; - de Belladonna et ferrum phosphoricum sur la liberation, par les polynucleaires neutrophiles, des radicaux oxygenes libres, impliques dans la reaction inflammatoire; -d'Apis mellifica sur la degranulation des basophiles humains in vitro. Ces travaux effectues in vitro, ont permis de confirmer le principe de similitude, d'entrevoir une approche experimentale de la notion de "terrain sensible" et de preciser le tropismebiologique des substances homeopathiques etudiees

Effet de belladonna et ferrum phosphoricum sur la chemiluminescence des polynucleaires neutrophiles humains / Belladona and ferrum phosphoricum effect in chemiluminiscence of polinuclear neutrophiles

Dans cette experimentation, les auteurs ont etudie l'activite de dilutions 5CH et 9CH de Belladonna et Ferrum Phosphoricum sur la liberation de radicaux oxygenes libres, impliques dans l'initiation et l'entretien des phenomenes inflammatoires. Belladonna et Ferrum Phosphoricum entrainent une inhibition significative de la liberation de radicaux libres. Cette inhibition est, sur une population de sujets sensibles, comparable a celle due a l'indometacine l0-4M et a la dexamethasone l0-5M
